Lord Quan teases Houmen's poisonous wife
Chapter 75
Chapter 75
The letter in Yun Chuwei's hand was written by the third prince He Lianyu to Yun Jingshu, and it said that she was invited to meet at Qiwan Alley today at Shenshi.
Yun Chuwei had a vague impression of Qiwan Alley as an alley that had been abandoned for a long time, and it was a bit remote, and few people would go there on weekdays.
Yun Chu had heard about the fact that the Third Prince had asked Yun Jingshu to marry him before Emperor Yonglong, and he had an appointment to meet Yun Jingshu at such a time, presumably because he had heard that Yun Jingshu had been promised to the Su family.
Regardless of whether the third prince's interest in Yun Jingshu is because of Yun Jingshu herself or because of the Dongyang Hou Mansion behind Yun Jingshu, he will not give up easily.
Since we are going to meet each other, how can it be wonderful if there are only two people?
"Meizi, get ready, I will serve you with pen, ink, paper and inkstone."
Meizi didn't ask what Yun Chuwei was going to do, and obediently studied the ink and put it on the desk in front of Yun Chuwei.
Yun Chuwei took a piece of paper that was similar to the original letter paper, and copied it exactly like the handwriting on the original letter paper. After the handwriting dried up, he gently rolled it up and stuffed it into his sleeve.
After everything was settled, Yun Chuwei stood up, and curled his lips at Meizi, "The weather is fine today, suitable for going to the streets, let's go!"
Mei Zi followed behind in confusion, "Didn't the girl talk about making a new type of jasmine hair oil earlier, why did she suddenly remember that she was going to the streets?"
Yun Chu smiled without explaining, "Don't talk too much, just follow me."
The small bamboo tube that Meizi picked up before was a mailbox for sending letters. Yun Chuwei copied an identical letter later, but she didn't have a mailbox in her hand, so she had to find a way to find one outside.
She was going to send another copy to Yun Xueyao, if there was no mailbox, the other party might not believe it easily.
About Yun Xueyao, thanks to Yun Chuwei's little girl Gancao who loves to gossip, Licorice likes to gossip, and also likes to ask for credit. Knowing that Yun Xueyao and Yun Chuwei are not compatible, she told Yun Xueyao's secret she.
Licorice has a cousin who is Yun Xueyao's personal servant girl named Liu Xu. Liu Xu takes good care of her little cousin Liancao who has just entered the house. When Xinyue third prince He Lianyu's secret came, Licorice took it down calmly, and told her master Yun Chuwei instead.
Mei Zi closed her mouth resentfully, and followed Yun Chuwei to Fan's Hefeng Garden.
-
"What? Are you going out of the house again?"
In Hefengyuan, Fan's family was obviously dissatisfied with Yun Chuwei's repeated attempts to leave the house, and he frowned tightly, "You are a lady, how can you often go to the street to show your face?"
Yun Chu said with an expressionless face: "I asked my father for instructions, and he promised to let me go. Now coming to Mrs. Bingming is just a formality."
That kind and soft "Father" almost hurt Fan's ears.
Yun Chuwei has been in the mansion for so long, and has never called her "Mother". He always addresses her as "Madam". When did she get so close to Master Hou?
Seeing Fan's ecstasy, Yun Chu said coldly: "Whether the wife will give you the right card when you go out of the house is just a matter of one sentence. I am in a hurry, and I don't have time to stand here and argue with you."
Fan's face turned pale, "You..."
Facing Shang Fan's red eyes, Yun Chu sneered slightly, "I heard that my third younger sister, who is about to become the young mistress of the Su family, refuses to eat again today, and my wife doesn't want to persuade her, but is willing to spend time with me The daughter picked up on the way raised her eyebrows and raised her eyebrows, and if this word spread, wouldn't it make people think that Madam, you don't like the daughter you raised by yourself?"
This is ugly, full of irony.
Especially the phrase "a daughter picked up on the way" completely changed Fan's face, her lips trembled a little, and it suddenly occurred to her mind that before going to Su's house for a banquet, Yun Chuwei once questioned her whether she regarded her as a Treated by his own daughter.
At that time, all she wanted was to let Yun Chuwei replace Yun Jingshu, so that Yun Jingshu could marry into the royal family smoothly in the future, and she thought that Yun Chuwei would like to marry into a wealthy family like the Su family.
After listening to Yun Chuwei's words today, coupled with her indifferent and distant attitude, Fan suddenly came to his senses.
It turned out that I had never considered issues for her from the standpoint of this daughter.
"Wei Wei." Fan's voice was trembling when he called out, and his eyes were filled with tears.
Yun Chuwei remained unmoved, standing up straight, neither humble nor overbearing.
Fan's winked to the maid next to her, "You all get out of here."
The servants in the room quickly dispersed, leaving only the mother and daughter.
"Back then, I had no choice but to send you to the countryside." Fan finished his sentence with a sob.
Yun Chu raised the corners of his lips slightly, "I know, my wife just had no choice but to send me to a farmer in the countryside and was almost drowned, so she had no choice but to accept a child who had no blood relationship with you as her daughter, and had no choice but to take this daughter who was picked up on the way. Daddy, you had no choice but to give her fine clothes and food, invited the best nuns to raise her, and treated her as your own daughter. Later, when the imperial decree of marriage came down, you had no choice but to take me back, and you had no choice but to let me enjoy the food and clothing of everyone's ladies. , I have no choice but to let me marry into the Su family instead of your daughter."
At the end, he added with a sneer, "Madam, as the long-term wife of the hostess of the Dongyang Houfu, has a lot of involuntary and forced excuses, and I understand them all. Then, I understand Madam, can Madam also Understand me, I am in a hurry, can you give me the right card?"
It is clear that there is not a single swear word, but every sentence is thorny and aggressive.
After hearing this, Fan's heart turned cold, followed by a face full of disbelief, eyes widened, "Miss Wei, do you know all about it?"
No wonder her behavior from entering the house to the present is so different. It turns out that she has known the truth for a long time and made a deliberate disguise!
Yun Chuwei's eyes were cold and indifferent, "Madam thinks, I shouldn't know the truth? Or are you planning to hide me for the rest of my life and make me recognize a woman who has no blood relationship with me as my sister? Madam can be ambiguous." Conscience recognizes a counterfeit as your daughter, and even helps the counterfeit to set up a trap to trap your own daughter, but I am a heartless and heartless person who treats me well, and I will pay her back ten times. If anyone treats me badly, I will return it to her tenfold. It is up to you to recognize who your daughter is, but it is best not to associate Yun Chuwei with my interests. I am my father's daughter, not yours. Daughter, if you carefully provoke me, I will be so cruel that my relatives will not recognize me."
Fan's face froze completely.
That's right, she has always regarded Yun Jingshu as her own daughter for a long time, but in fact, the girl who questioned her in front of her is her own flesh and blood.
For so long, she never seemed to have any partiality for Yun Chuwei because of her blood relationship with her. What she did on weekdays was just relying on her being able to replace Yun Jingshu and marry to the Su residence.
Now Yun Chuwei asked her why she helped a counterfeit to design her own daughter, which made all her words blocked in her throat and could not come out.
Yun Chuwei was obviously very impatient, and his voice became colder and thinner, "Madam, tell me whether you will give the right card or not."
Fan immediately regained his composure, and took out a pair of cards from the wooden box at the side and gave it to her.
Yun Chuwei took it, without even thanking her, and left with Meizi.
This time he was still wearing a veiled hat with light veils hanging all around, and spent a tael of silver to rent a carriage after leaving the mansion.
In Qingyang County, renting a horse-drawn carriage only cost a few tens of pennies, but in the capital, the ones that can be rented for one tael are the middle and lower classes, and the higher-end ones can only be rented for more than two taels.
Yun Chuwei had no choice but to sigh once again at the vile prices in the capital.
Although her shop is still profitable, she used to live a hard life and knows how difficult it is to earn a tael of silver, so she saves as much as she can on weekdays, and will not spend money lightly unless it is absolutely necessary.
Before getting into the car, Yun Chuwei told the driver that he was going to a place where he could buy mailboxes.
Sending letters in this era is extremely troublesome. Although there are post stations, they are dedicated to the delivery of official government documents and letters, and they will not deliver letters from ordinary people.
Therefore, the common people do not have a fixed station for sending letters. If they want to write a letter to someone, they have to ask someone to bring it. For example, people in Zhangjiatun want to send a letter to a relative far away in the city. Taking advantage of the people in the village who want to go to the city, ask him to help bring the letter.
Calculated in this way, the time limit for sending a letter is very slow. If the distance between the two places is closer, it is better. If it is farther, it may take three to five months to be delivered.
It is not difficult to see from Du Fu's phrase "a letter from a family is worth ten thousand gold" that it is not easy for an ancient letter to be successfully transferred to the recipient.
When the carriage stopped, it happened to be in a lively street market.
Yun Chu straightened the hood on his head slightly, lifted the curtain and walked out with Mei Zi's support.
The coachman said cheerfully, "Girl, there is a post box for sending letters in the shop opposite, you can buy it right there."
"Hey, thank you old man." Yun Chu nodded slightly at him, "Please wait for me here for a while, I'll be back when I've finished shopping."
The coachman was very polite, drove the carriage to the side of the road, went to the tea stand to drink tea and waited for Yun Chuwei.
When the master and servant entered the shop, they saw a lot of bamboo products inside, including bamboo baskets, sieves, dustpans, and bamboo birdcages. Most of them were new products, so there was a faint bamboo fragrance.
There was only one person in the shop, sitting on the high chair behind the counter with his head down, fingering the abacus, as if reconciling accounts.
This is probably the shopkeeper.
I don't know if it was Yun Chuwei's illusion, but for a moment, she felt that the shopkeeper's fingers were beautiful, slender and even, with smooth muscles and bones, and well-defined knuckles.
Shaking his head, Yun Chuwei walked over, reached out and knocked on the counter, "Excuse me, does your family have a small mailbox for sending letters?"
The shopkeeper said nothing.
Yun Chuwei thought that the other party was busy reconciling accounts, so he didn't dare to disturb him, so he had to wait for a while.
About a quarter of an hour later, she reached out and knocked on the counter again, "Shopkeeper, do you have a mailbox for sending letters?"
The person behind the counter seemed to have finally heard it, slowly raised his head, and showed Yun Chu a smile that could turn all sentient beings upside down, and then said something that didn't answer the question, "It's the first time."
Yun Chu's face twitched slightly, and he took two steps back abruptly, looking at the person behind the counter vigilantly, "Jiuye? Why are you here?"
That's right, the "treasurer" behind the counter who initially made Yun Chuwei feel weird was actually Xuan Guogong Su Yan.
It has to be said that people are good-looking, and whatever they wear can create a unique charm.
Even if he put on the robe worn by a middle-aged man, it was still difficult to conceal the noble and elegant temperament of Su Yan's whole body.
His white and even fingers scratched the abacus, and looked at Yun Chuwei with a smile, "Madam, are you planning to write me a letter?"
Why does he have to be so narcissistic every time he sees this guy?
Yun Chuwei rolled his eyes at him, and then said with a smile: "I don't like to write on paper if I scold you. It's a waste of pen and ink. I like to come directly."
Su Yan's beautiful phoenix eyes were bent, "I also like to come directly."
The conversation is not on one channel again.
Yun Chu felt a chill down her back, she didn't want to deal with him any more, and began to patrol around by herself, she must find the mailbox as soon as possible to complete her plan.
After turning around twice, Yun Chuwei didn't even see the shadow of the mailbox, so he couldn't help but feel discouraged, and planned to go out and ask the driver if he remembered the wrong location.
Like a magic trick, Su Yan took out a small postbox at the right time and played with it on his fingertips.
Yun Chuwei was in a hurry to get things done, and didn't want to waste time elsewhere, so his attitude softened a bit, "Well, Master Jiu, can you give me this thing?"
"Yes." Su Yan agreed simply, "I won't charge you money, but you have to exchange things."
Yun Chuwei frowned suddenly, "What?"
"Hmm..." Su Yan said, "You once said in Tanxianglou that as long as we meet ten times within a month, you will..."
"No, wait!" Yun Chuwei raised his hand to stop him, "When did I say that?"
Su Yan said seriously: "It doesn't matter who said it, what matters is that since that day, you have been hiding in the Hou's mansion and refused to come out. You are clearly escaping."
Why does this tone sound like a "resentful woman" in it?
Yun Chu gritted his teeth slightly, "Isn't this the point? Please tell me what you can listen to!"
"Oh." Su Yan said: "Today is our first meeting after the last farewell. If you promise that this mailbox can cover the remaining nine meetings, I will give it to you for free."
Yun Chuwei: "..."
Please, how much is a mailbox?It's great to be able to sell it for a tael of silver, but once the nine meetings are completed, it is equivalent to acknowledging his agreement and agreeing to marry him.
Want to marry a daughter-in-law just with a mailbox of one tael of silver?He is quite good at counting!
"Fuck you!" Yun Chuwei gave him a stern look, then turned around with his sleeves thrown, "I don't want it anymore!"
What a joke!That is her lifelong event, is she not full enough to wear and warm, or is she unable to earn money, tear white lotus and deal with green tea?Do you have to rush to marry a disciple who has treated her lightly before meeting her?
The point is that this guy's way of proposing is too bastard!He never asked her if she was willing or not, and looked at her eyes as if he could eat her up anytime, anywhere. He was simply a rogue among rogues, and he couldn't be more rogue!
Seeing that Yun Chuwei was about to leave, Su Yan said slowly: "In the entire capital, there are only five shops that sell mailboxes. Before you entered this door, I had someone go to say hello, and all shops will sell the same post box. Conditions come, are you sure you want to go to another place to get the goods?"
Yun Chu paused slightly, turned his head, his eyes turned cold, "Are you threatening me?"
"No, it's to help you."
"Help me?" Yun Chuwei's eyes became suspicious.
"Yes, to help you match a match made in heaven."
It is clear that the jade tree is facing the wind and looks like a god, but the words that come out of his mouth make people want to beat him up.
Yun Chuwei raised his eyebrows, and his anger jumped up.
She was a little puzzled, facing Yun Jingshu's shameless Bailian, she could calmly deal with it, but when she was born in front of this person, she really wanted to unleash all the anger in her body and burn him to ashes without any concealment.
Su Yan's white fingertips tapped the abacus erratically, making a slight "cracking" sound, making the shop even more silent.
Yun Chuwei clenched and loosened his fists, loosened and clenched again, and finally decided to leave after confirming that the strength gap between himself and the opponent was too great.
She has always been magnanimous and does not have the same knowledge as hooligans.
"Wei Wei." Su Yan's voice came from behind again, this time more serious than before, "Tell me what you want to do, and I can help you."
"Jiuye's condition for helping me is sky-high, and I can't afford it." Yun Chuwei didn't turn his head back.
She is not so stupid to bet her life's happiness!
"I can help you get the stamp of the post station." He said: "The letter in your hand was sent by the third prince. In order to deceive people, he dared not use his own people, so he simply borrowed the letter from the postman at the post station in the capital. When you distributed the official newspapers to the government officials, you sent the letters with them. Today is the day to distribute the official newspapers. The third prince took this opportunity to put the private letters in the official newspapers so that he could come to Dongyanghou Mansion. As for who the Hou Mansion is supporting, it must be the servant girl arranged by the Third Prince next to Yun Jingshu."
The properties of the newspapers are somewhat similar to those of later generations. The person in charge of the newspapers will regularly write official documents such as the emperor's edicts, edicts, and ministers' memorials on bamboo slips, silk or books, and then send them to post stations for distribution in batches. Faraway places are delivered by couriers on fast horses, and around the capital are delivered by postmen at post stations.
If Su Yan didn't say anything, Yun Chuwei would never have imagined how the third prince's letter reached Dongyang Houfu.
With one foot already out of the door, she suddenly raised her eyebrows, retracted her feet, and turned around, "How could Master Jiu know that the letter in my hand is from the Third Prince?"
Su Yan chuckled, "Because we have a good understanding."
Can this kind of nonsense be made up?
Yun Chu hummed lightly.
Su Yan said firmly: "If there is no stamp of the post station, the eunuchs hidden in the Dongyang Marquis Mansion will not know that it is a letter from the third prince, let alone transfer it to Yun Jingshu."
Yun Chu was a little moved, but what Su Yan said seemed to make sense. Since the third prince chose such a conservative and safe way to deliver letters to Yun Jingshu, it must be that Yun Jingshu also knew about this method of sending letters. The insider beside Yun Jingshu is even more familiar with the communication process between the two, and she will not recognize the letter if she does not see the stamp.
Then I have been busy for a long time, isn't it all in vain?
The post station in the capital is heavily guarded, so there is no place for a girl like Yun Chuwei to enter. If this matter is to be settled, Su Yan must be troubled.
With pursed lips, Yun Chuwei reluctantly said: "You can do me this favor, but the conditions can't be too high, otherwise I'll lose my face."
"I won't negotiate terms with you." He smiled slightly, "You wait here, I will personally go to the capital station and ask someone to stamp the station's seal for you, then hide it in the newspaper, and then send someone to deliver it to you immediately. Go to Dongyang Marquis Mansion, within an hour, the report will be in Yun Jingshu's hands."
Didn't even talk about the terms?This is not like Jiu Ye's style, Yun Chu thought to himself secretly.
Seeing that he didn't seem to be lying, Yun Chuwei finally handed the two pieces of letterhead to Su Yan, and confessed, "This is two copies, one with 'Yun Jingshu's personal letter' written on it, and the other with The words 'Yun Xueyao's personal revelation' are meant to be delivered to these two people at the same time, so don't get confused and screw it up, or I'll never end with you!"
He took it with a smile, packed the copy of the letter in his own mailbox, put it in his sleeve pocket, and went out quickly.
After Su Yan walked away, Mei Zi dared to poke her head in and ask, "Girl, is the matter settled?"
Yun Chu shook his head slightly and said, "We have to wait a little longer. You go and inform the driver that you don't have to wait for us to return. Anyway, he has to collect money while waiting. It's a waste of my money. You send him there and wait for the matter to be settled." Alright, let’s rent another one and go back.”
"Okay!" Meizi immediately walked to the side of the street, and told the driver what Yun Chuwei had said.
The coachman had already finished his tea, and after listening to Meizi's words, he drove the carriage back to the carriage house.
Su Yan moved very quickly, and came back after only one incense stick. He opened the bamboo curtain and entered the shop.
Yun Chu asked excitedly, "Is it done?"
"The delivery has already started at the post station." Su Yan said: "At most one hour, the newspaper can arrive at Dongyang Hou Mansion with two private letters."
Yun Chu smacked his tongue inwardly, a person with power has a lot of face, and a touch of his mouth can turn ghosts into trouble.
Where is the capital station?Most people can't even enter the important place where the imperial court distributes official documents. However, Su Yan not only entered, but also easily sent people to Dongyang Houfu to deliver another report.
Power is a good thing, but it's a pity that Yun Chuwei is just a girl, so it's impossible to have it.
No matter how capable she is, she will at most follow Lu Xiuyuan in the future and become a queen merchant. After all, she is still a businessman, which is incomparable to an official.
Although the first few meetings were not very pleasant, but this time Su Yan was indeed a great help, Yun Chuwei said sincerely, "Thank you, Master Jiu, for taking care of today's matter."
"You're welcome." Su Yan took a sip of tea lightly, "After all, this is the second time we have met in our agreement."
Yun Chuwei immediately lost face.
No wonder this guy insisted on asking her to wait in the shop in person. It turned out that once he came back after a stick of incense, it would be considered as the second meeting!
After all the calculations, she still couldn't figure out his black belly.
"I'm looking forward to our third meeting." He said with a smile.
Yun Chuwei let out a "hehe", "Sorry, I still have something to do, so I'm leaving first."
She wanted to go back in a hurry to see Yun Jingshu and Yun Xueyao with their own eyes.
-
Dongyang Hou Mansion.
The neiying arranged by the third prince He Lianyu next to Yun Jingshu was actually the little girl who fell to the ground in the morning and was picked up by Meizi, her name was Shuangqiao.
She lost the letter sent by the third prince, and she never dared to tell Yun Jingshu. She searched for it ten times back and forth, but she couldn't find it.
Shuangqiao was worried, and didn't know what important event the third prince had. If the third girl didn't arrive on time after an appointment, all the crimes would have to be blamed on her.
At this time, she returned to the gate and searched carefully, even picking up the grass that she hadn't walked through.
Not long after, there was a sound of horseshoes, and it was the postman from the post station in the capital riding over.
Shuangqiao's heart skipped a beat, could it be that she lost the letter and wasted time, and the third prince sent another letter to remind her?
The postman got off his horse, saw only Shuangqiao was alone outside the gate, and said, "There is one missing copy of the morning newspaper. This is sent by Master Yicheng, please send it to Lord Hou."
Shuangqiao took it with trembling hands, and when the postman left, she squeezed the package containing the newspaper, and sure enough, she found the postbox, and when she saw no one was around, she stepped aside to open the package and took the two postboxes come out.
Of the two mailboxes, one was written "Designed by Yun Jingshu", and the other was written "Designed by Yun Xueyao".
Strange, when did the third prince have contact with the fourth girl?
After all, Shuangqiao is just an internal response who handles errands for others, so she didn't dare to think too much, so she took the first mailbox and went to Yun Jingshu's place first.
Yun Jingshu took the mailbox and slowly opened it. After seeing clearly the time when the third prince had an appointment above, she finally regained some vigor after being haggard for a few days, and immediately put on some makeup.
Shuangqiao didn't dare to tell Yun Jingshu that the third prince also wrote a letter to Yun Xueyao, and sent it secretly.
Yun Xueyao had some doubts about this inexplicable letter, but after seeing the stamp on it clearly, all doubts were eliminated, and it was definitely not a trick to get the stamp of the capital station.
After taking the mailbox and opening it, Yun Xueyao saw the writing on it clearly, her heart jumped up.
It was the third prince's handwriting, she recognized it.
At a palace banquet last year, the third prince wrote an entire book of the "Avatamsaka Sutra" that he had memorized by heart for the queen mother. Everyone present at that time had seen his handwriting, including Yun Xueyao, of course. .
The third prince actually invited her to meet?
Yun Xueyao's heart swelled to the point of bursting, she stopped thinking about him, and immediately ordered Liu Xu to come in and dress her up.
-
Yun Jingshu was going out of the house, and when she went to Fan's to ask for a match, she used the excuse that a close friend in her boudoir sent someone a post, and the two of them hadn't seen each other for a long time, so they wanted to go and walk around.
Fan thought in her heart that Sister Jing had been feeling a lot of depression in her heart because of the fact that she was going to marry into the Su Mansion. Pair.
Not long after, Yun Xueyao came and said that she would leave the house.
Fan was puzzled.
What good thing happened today? Why did one or two of them all come to tell her that they would leave the house?
"There is a banquet at my grandfather's house, and my mother is not free, so let me go for her." Even though it was a made-up excuse, Yun Xueyao said it without blushing.
Fan Shi didn't want to have a dispute with the second room person, so after hesitating again and again, he also gave the right card.
In this way, three girls left the house with a pair of cards today.
-
Seven Bend Alley.
Yun Xueyao had never been to this place before, and it took a lot of effort to find it.
However, the scene not far away made her stunned.
The third prince, He Lianyu, was dressed in a purple brocade robe, with a fair complexion, handsome features, and slightly raised thin lips. He was chatting and laughing with people, with a radiant look, obviously in a happy mood.
And the person talking and laughing with him was none other than Yun Jingshu.
The fact that the third prince proposed to marry Yun Jingshu in front of Emperor Yonglong spread throughout the capital, but Emperor Yonglong never let go, which meant that there was no hope for the two of them.
What's more, Yun Jingshu has been designated as the fourth young mistress of the Su family. At this time, how can she still have the face to come out to meet the third prince?
The more Yun Xueyao thought about it, the more angry she became, she sneered and walked out with her skirt in her hands, her voice was sharp and piercing, "Hey, isn't this the third sister, why didn't you stay in the boudoir to make a wedding dress, why did you come out to see the third prince? "
After hearing the voice, Yun Jingshu's expression changed immediately.
"Yun Xueyao, why are you here?"
Panicked, Yun Jingshu couldn't care less about maintaining her image in front of the third prince, and glared at Yun Xueyao sternly.
"Of course the Third Highness invited me here." Yun Xueyao glanced at He Lianyu, then at Yun Jingshu, her smile gradually sneered, "I would like to ask, Third Sister, the prospective fifth young mistress of the Su family, why Will it appear in a place like Seven Bend Alley?"
Yun Jingshu's eyes were instantly darkened by the sound of "the prospective fifth young lady of the Su family".
The matter of being selected to marry into the Su family, she hadn't mentioned anything to the third prince. She planned to talk about it later, and asked the third prince if there was a way to solve it. Unexpectedly, Yun Xueyao poked it out first.
"Jing'er, what is the meaning of what the fourth girl said?"
Yun Xueyao is the granddaughter of Huang Shoufu, and He Lianyu is the prince who participated in the conquest of the heir apparent. Now is the time to woo people everywhere. He dare not offend Yun Xueyao easily, so he didn't show any signs of dissatisfaction with Yun Xueyao's appearance. Excessive anger, only a pair of dark eyes had a cold gleam, and his eyes fell on Yun Jingshu, full of anger.
Yun Jingshu couldn't argue with everything, her eyes turned red anxiously, and immediately grabbed He Lianyu's sleeve, "Third Highness, there is some misunderstanding about this matter, don't listen to my fourth sister's one-sided words."
Seeing that he was about to get the Dongyang Marquis Mansion behind Yun Jingshu, but the Yun family suddenly wanted to marry her into the Su family, how could He Lianyu not be angry?
"You told me before that the person who married into the Su family was your sister who came from the countryside. So, you lied to me about those words?"
He Lianyu instantly felt that he was a complete fool, because he believed that she loved her so much, and that he tried his best to please her, but in the end, he only got her hypocrisy and lies.
"No, how dare I deceive His Highness the Third Highness." Yun Jingshu burst into tears.
It was rare to grab Yun Jingshu's braid, how could Yun Xueyao let it go easily, her eyes were full of sarcasm, "Third Sister, it's time like this, what are you still struggling for? When Sister Wei entered the mansion, Daddy My uncle once said that she is not a true daughter of the first wife, so she cannot marry into the Su family. Why, you didn't tell the third highness about this, and let the third highness wait for you so hard Long?"
Yun Jingshu was filled with hatred, wishing she could tear Yun Xueyao's mouth apart with her own hands.
"Stop talking!"
After roaring, he turned his head to look at He Lianyu, the matter has developed into this way, the most important thing right now is whether He Lianyu believes her or not.
"Third Highness, we have been in love for so long, don't you even give me this little trust?"
Yun Jingshu looked into his eyes without blinking, as long as he nodded and said he trusted her, then it would be useless for Yun Xueyao to say more, if he didn't believe her, even if she had a hundred explanations, he would not listen of.
"Third Miss, please respect yourself." He Lianyu took a step back with a distant expression, and no longer called her "Jing'er" as before, but the cold "Third Miss".
Yun Jingshu could almost hear her own heartbroken voice.
She leaned against the wall with a wry smile. This is the man she has been thinking about for so long. Just a single instigation from others can disintegrate the so-called "never leave" between them.
Those sworn vows are all just for fun, right?
Tears gushed out like a broken thread, constantly pouring out Yun Jingshu's despair.
Looking at this scene, Yun Xueyao was in a good mood, she hooked her lips happily, and looked at He Lianyu, "Third Highness, I don't know why you sent a message for the daughter-in-law to come out?"
He Lianyu was taken aback, when did he send the letter to Yun Xueyao?
Before he could express his doubts, Yun Xueyao had already taken out the letterhead stamped with the stamp of the Beijing station.
He Lianyu took a closer look, and his face changed drastically, "Why do you have this in your hand?"
Yun Xueyao was full of doubts, "This is the handwriting of His Highness the Third Highness, I can recognize it, isn't it written in your own handwriting and sent to me?"
He Lianyu has one head and two big ones.
The letter paper was indeed his handwriting, and the stamp of the capital post station could not be faked. The person who invited him was clearly Yun Jingshu. When did he become Yun Xueyao?
He Lianyu had no choice but to shift his gaze to Yun Jingshu, hoping that she could give him a reasonable explanation.
Yun Jingshu looked at these two people with cold eyes, and the bitterness in her heart surged up one after another.
Since she is not the only one who has dated, why bother to put on a show here now?
With another wry smile, she turned around and left, not wanting to see the pretentious faces of these two people again.
She is a proud person, and she really liked He Lianyu, but she still can't be humbled to the dust for him, and she is unfaithful a hundred times, since He Lianyu failed her for a granddaughter of Huang Shoufu, Then there is no need for her to hang herself from a tree.
She is the noble daughter of Dongyang Marquis Mansion who is envied by so many girls in the capital, how could she be knocked down by such a small setback?
Want her to wag her tail in front of him and beg for his sympathy and tolerance?She Yun Jingshu didn't even bother!
Looking at Yun Jingshu's cold and resolute back gradually going away, He Lianyu suddenly regretted it, as if he shouldn't have looked at her with such suspicion.
"Jinger!"
He Lianyu yelled at Yun Jingshu's back, Yun Jingshu just pretended not to hear, without even turning her head, she quickly walked out of Qiwan Lane, got into a carriage and went straight to Dongyang Hou's Mansion.
Only He Lianyu and Yun Xueyao were left in this quiet and cold deserted alley.
"Third Highness." Yun Xueyao's heart was beating fast, her voice was several times softer than before, her face was blushing with embarrassment, "You invited my courtier, do you have something special to say to me?"
Facing He Lianyu, Yun Xueyao's usual arrogance was gone, replaced by a cute and docile like a little sheep.
Seeing her, He Lianyu thought of Yun Jingshu.
When Yun Jingshu was alone with him, even though she was talking and laughing, she had a cool demeanor in her bones, she would never go overboard, let alone talk to him with a blushing face like Yun Xueyao.
Thinking of this, a trace of disgust suddenly appeared in He Lianyu's heart, but he had to suppress it.
There is no way, Yun Xueyao's maternal ancestral background cannot be underestimated.
Yun Xueyao's grandfather, Huang Xingxian, was the chief assistant of the cabinet.
What is the chief assistant of the cabinet?That is, the chief academician of the current dynasty, who commands the cabinet, is higher than the six ministries, and has administrative power so great that it can resist the imperial power. It can be said that apart from the emperor, the highest power holder in the Nanliang government is the chief assistant of the cabinet.
He Lianyu understood very well that Huang Xingxian held power that he could not contend with. Once he annoyed Yun Xueyao because of today's trivial matter, Yun Xueyao ran back to her grandfather's house to complain, and Huang Shoufu would go to his father to beat him Two sentences, then his life is over.
With a forced smile on his face, He Lianyu became the gentle and elegant third prince in an instant. No matter who calculated that letter, it doesn't matter now. Wouldn't it be a good opportunity to say something and do something?
"Actually, I invited the fourth girl to come out today because I wanted to say that I have admired Huang Shoufu's knowledge since I was a child, but he is upright and upright. He would not accept anyone's invitation to dinner and drink on weekdays. Nanliang has him, the cabinet has him, it's me, Helian The honor of the family, as a descendant of the Helian family, I should thank him for my father, I heard that the fourth girl has always been close to my grandfather's family, can you help me invite Huang Shoufu?"
Yun Xueyao's eyes lit up, she understood He Lianyu's meaning, and cooperating with the third prince, she wanted to win over her grandfather to add help to her road to succession, that's why she came to her.
She is Huang Shoufu's granddaughter. If the third prince marries her, she will be directly related to the Huang family. At that time, won't her grandfather show some face and support the third prince?
Thinking of this, Yun Xueyao smiled sweetly, "As long as it is what the Third Highness asks, I will try my best to make it for you, it's just..."
At the end of the sentence, he showed some hesitation.
He Lianyu saw through her thoughts at a glance, "Don't worry, after the matter is completed, I will not miss your benefits."
Yun Xueyao immediately laughed, "I know that the Third Highness is also very particular about people, so this matter is settled. After the Queen Mother's birthday, I will find a chance to go back to my grandfather's house to help you find out."
It was only today that she said in front of her aunt that she would go back to her grandfather's house for a banquet. In the near future, it is impossible for her to go to Huang's mansion again.
"Then thank you Miss Yun Si." He Lianyu said politely.
"Third Highness, please be polite."
-
Yun Jingshu returned to the Hou's Mansion with a sombre face, Fan heard the wind and hurried to her small courtyard and knocked on the door.
"Sister Jing, what's wrong with you?"
Fan Shi had never seen Yun Jingshu show such a decisive expression today, and she was very anxious, afraid that something might happen to her if she couldn't figure it out for a while.
Yun Jingshu took a deep breath, her voice was cold and cold, "Mother, don't worry about it in the future, this relationship with the Su family, I just marry it!"
Fan Shi was taken aback, "You, you really want to see through?"
"Think through it." Yun Jingshu said lightly. She had thought through it all the way back. Since what He Lianyu wanted was not her herself, but the Dongyang Marquis Mansion behind her, why did she still want to die? Beg Bailai to stay by his side and fulfill him?
In the entire capital, there are many men who are willing to treat her well, so there is absolutely no need for her to cry and be sad for an unfaithful man.
Because, He Lianyu is not worthy of her tears at all!
"Third Prince, what are you going to say?" Fan was very worried.
"There's nothing to say." Yun Jingshu looked indifferent, as if talking about a stranger, "Marriage has been the order of the parents since ancient times, and the matchmaker's words, not to mention my marriage is the order of his father, how can I not?" Why?"
Jiu Ye said that he will play cosplay until he becomes addicted^_^
Well, although we met for a short time today, it was the first time that the young couple teamed up to cheat people, and there will be more such things in the future.
(End of this chapter)
The letter in Yun Chuwei's hand was written by the third prince He Lianyu to Yun Jingshu, and it said that she was invited to meet at Qiwan Alley today at Shenshi.
Yun Chuwei had a vague impression of Qiwan Alley as an alley that had been abandoned for a long time, and it was a bit remote, and few people would go there on weekdays.
Yun Chu had heard about the fact that the Third Prince had asked Yun Jingshu to marry him before Emperor Yonglong, and he had an appointment to meet Yun Jingshu at such a time, presumably because he had heard that Yun Jingshu had been promised to the Su family.
Regardless of whether the third prince's interest in Yun Jingshu is because of Yun Jingshu herself or because of the Dongyang Hou Mansion behind Yun Jingshu, he will not give up easily.
Since we are going to meet each other, how can it be wonderful if there are only two people?
"Meizi, get ready, I will serve you with pen, ink, paper and inkstone."
Meizi didn't ask what Yun Chuwei was going to do, and obediently studied the ink and put it on the desk in front of Yun Chuwei.
Yun Chuwei took a piece of paper that was similar to the original letter paper, and copied it exactly like the handwriting on the original letter paper. After the handwriting dried up, he gently rolled it up and stuffed it into his sleeve.
After everything was settled, Yun Chuwei stood up, and curled his lips at Meizi, "The weather is fine today, suitable for going to the streets, let's go!"
Mei Zi followed behind in confusion, "Didn't the girl talk about making a new type of jasmine hair oil earlier, why did she suddenly remember that she was going to the streets?"
Yun Chu smiled without explaining, "Don't talk too much, just follow me."
The small bamboo tube that Meizi picked up before was a mailbox for sending letters. Yun Chuwei copied an identical letter later, but she didn't have a mailbox in her hand, so she had to find a way to find one outside.
She was going to send another copy to Yun Xueyao, if there was no mailbox, the other party might not believe it easily.
About Yun Xueyao, thanks to Yun Chuwei's little girl Gancao who loves to gossip, Licorice likes to gossip, and also likes to ask for credit. Knowing that Yun Xueyao and Yun Chuwei are not compatible, she told Yun Xueyao's secret she.
Licorice has a cousin who is Yun Xueyao's personal servant girl named Liu Xu. Liu Xu takes good care of her little cousin Liancao who has just entered the house. When Xinyue third prince He Lianyu's secret came, Licorice took it down calmly, and told her master Yun Chuwei instead.
Mei Zi closed her mouth resentfully, and followed Yun Chuwei to Fan's Hefeng Garden.
-
"What? Are you going out of the house again?"
In Hefengyuan, Fan's family was obviously dissatisfied with Yun Chuwei's repeated attempts to leave the house, and he frowned tightly, "You are a lady, how can you often go to the street to show your face?"
Yun Chu said with an expressionless face: "I asked my father for instructions, and he promised to let me go. Now coming to Mrs. Bingming is just a formality."
That kind and soft "Father" almost hurt Fan's ears.
Yun Chuwei has been in the mansion for so long, and has never called her "Mother". He always addresses her as "Madam". When did she get so close to Master Hou?
Seeing Fan's ecstasy, Yun Chu said coldly: "Whether the wife will give you the right card when you go out of the house is just a matter of one sentence. I am in a hurry, and I don't have time to stand here and argue with you."
Fan's face turned pale, "You..."
Facing Shang Fan's red eyes, Yun Chu sneered slightly, "I heard that my third younger sister, who is about to become the young mistress of the Su family, refuses to eat again today, and my wife doesn't want to persuade her, but is willing to spend time with me The daughter picked up on the way raised her eyebrows and raised her eyebrows, and if this word spread, wouldn't it make people think that Madam, you don't like the daughter you raised by yourself?"
This is ugly, full of irony.
Especially the phrase "a daughter picked up on the way" completely changed Fan's face, her lips trembled a little, and it suddenly occurred to her mind that before going to Su's house for a banquet, Yun Chuwei once questioned her whether she regarded her as a Treated by his own daughter.
At that time, all she wanted was to let Yun Chuwei replace Yun Jingshu, so that Yun Jingshu could marry into the royal family smoothly in the future, and she thought that Yun Chuwei would like to marry into a wealthy family like the Su family.
After listening to Yun Chuwei's words today, coupled with her indifferent and distant attitude, Fan suddenly came to his senses.
It turned out that I had never considered issues for her from the standpoint of this daughter.
"Wei Wei." Fan's voice was trembling when he called out, and his eyes were filled with tears.
Yun Chuwei remained unmoved, standing up straight, neither humble nor overbearing.
Fan's winked to the maid next to her, "You all get out of here."
The servants in the room quickly dispersed, leaving only the mother and daughter.
"Back then, I had no choice but to send you to the countryside." Fan finished his sentence with a sob.
Yun Chu raised the corners of his lips slightly, "I know, my wife just had no choice but to send me to a farmer in the countryside and was almost drowned, so she had no choice but to accept a child who had no blood relationship with you as her daughter, and had no choice but to take this daughter who was picked up on the way. Daddy, you had no choice but to give her fine clothes and food, invited the best nuns to raise her, and treated her as your own daughter. Later, when the imperial decree of marriage came down, you had no choice but to take me back, and you had no choice but to let me enjoy the food and clothing of everyone's ladies. , I have no choice but to let me marry into the Su family instead of your daughter."
At the end, he added with a sneer, "Madam, as the long-term wife of the hostess of the Dongyang Houfu, has a lot of involuntary and forced excuses, and I understand them all. Then, I understand Madam, can Madam also Understand me, I am in a hurry, can you give me the right card?"
It is clear that there is not a single swear word, but every sentence is thorny and aggressive.
After hearing this, Fan's heart turned cold, followed by a face full of disbelief, eyes widened, "Miss Wei, do you know all about it?"
No wonder her behavior from entering the house to the present is so different. It turns out that she has known the truth for a long time and made a deliberate disguise!
Yun Chuwei's eyes were cold and indifferent, "Madam thinks, I shouldn't know the truth? Or are you planning to hide me for the rest of my life and make me recognize a woman who has no blood relationship with me as my sister? Madam can be ambiguous." Conscience recognizes a counterfeit as your daughter, and even helps the counterfeit to set up a trap to trap your own daughter, but I am a heartless and heartless person who treats me well, and I will pay her back ten times. If anyone treats me badly, I will return it to her tenfold. It is up to you to recognize who your daughter is, but it is best not to associate Yun Chuwei with my interests. I am my father's daughter, not yours. Daughter, if you carefully provoke me, I will be so cruel that my relatives will not recognize me."
Fan's face froze completely.
That's right, she has always regarded Yun Jingshu as her own daughter for a long time, but in fact, the girl who questioned her in front of her is her own flesh and blood.
For so long, she never seemed to have any partiality for Yun Chuwei because of her blood relationship with her. What she did on weekdays was just relying on her being able to replace Yun Jingshu and marry to the Su residence.
Now Yun Chuwei asked her why she helped a counterfeit to design her own daughter, which made all her words blocked in her throat and could not come out.
Yun Chuwei was obviously very impatient, and his voice became colder and thinner, "Madam, tell me whether you will give the right card or not."
Fan immediately regained his composure, and took out a pair of cards from the wooden box at the side and gave it to her.
Yun Chuwei took it, without even thanking her, and left with Meizi.
This time he was still wearing a veiled hat with light veils hanging all around, and spent a tael of silver to rent a carriage after leaving the mansion.
In Qingyang County, renting a horse-drawn carriage only cost a few tens of pennies, but in the capital, the ones that can be rented for one tael are the middle and lower classes, and the higher-end ones can only be rented for more than two taels.
Yun Chuwei had no choice but to sigh once again at the vile prices in the capital.
Although her shop is still profitable, she used to live a hard life and knows how difficult it is to earn a tael of silver, so she saves as much as she can on weekdays, and will not spend money lightly unless it is absolutely necessary.
Before getting into the car, Yun Chuwei told the driver that he was going to a place where he could buy mailboxes.
Sending letters in this era is extremely troublesome. Although there are post stations, they are dedicated to the delivery of official government documents and letters, and they will not deliver letters from ordinary people.
Therefore, the common people do not have a fixed station for sending letters. If they want to write a letter to someone, they have to ask someone to bring it. For example, people in Zhangjiatun want to send a letter to a relative far away in the city. Taking advantage of the people in the village who want to go to the city, ask him to help bring the letter.
Calculated in this way, the time limit for sending a letter is very slow. If the distance between the two places is closer, it is better. If it is farther, it may take three to five months to be delivered.
It is not difficult to see from Du Fu's phrase "a letter from a family is worth ten thousand gold" that it is not easy for an ancient letter to be successfully transferred to the recipient.
When the carriage stopped, it happened to be in a lively street market.
Yun Chu straightened the hood on his head slightly, lifted the curtain and walked out with Mei Zi's support.
The coachman said cheerfully, "Girl, there is a post box for sending letters in the shop opposite, you can buy it right there."
"Hey, thank you old man." Yun Chu nodded slightly at him, "Please wait for me here for a while, I'll be back when I've finished shopping."
The coachman was very polite, drove the carriage to the side of the road, went to the tea stand to drink tea and waited for Yun Chuwei.
When the master and servant entered the shop, they saw a lot of bamboo products inside, including bamboo baskets, sieves, dustpans, and bamboo birdcages. Most of them were new products, so there was a faint bamboo fragrance.
There was only one person in the shop, sitting on the high chair behind the counter with his head down, fingering the abacus, as if reconciling accounts.
This is probably the shopkeeper.
I don't know if it was Yun Chuwei's illusion, but for a moment, she felt that the shopkeeper's fingers were beautiful, slender and even, with smooth muscles and bones, and well-defined knuckles.
Shaking his head, Yun Chuwei walked over, reached out and knocked on the counter, "Excuse me, does your family have a small mailbox for sending letters?"
The shopkeeper said nothing.
Yun Chuwei thought that the other party was busy reconciling accounts, so he didn't dare to disturb him, so he had to wait for a while.
About a quarter of an hour later, she reached out and knocked on the counter again, "Shopkeeper, do you have a mailbox for sending letters?"
The person behind the counter seemed to have finally heard it, slowly raised his head, and showed Yun Chu a smile that could turn all sentient beings upside down, and then said something that didn't answer the question, "It's the first time."
Yun Chu's face twitched slightly, and he took two steps back abruptly, looking at the person behind the counter vigilantly, "Jiuye? Why are you here?"
That's right, the "treasurer" behind the counter who initially made Yun Chuwei feel weird was actually Xuan Guogong Su Yan.
It has to be said that people are good-looking, and whatever they wear can create a unique charm.
Even if he put on the robe worn by a middle-aged man, it was still difficult to conceal the noble and elegant temperament of Su Yan's whole body.
His white and even fingers scratched the abacus, and looked at Yun Chuwei with a smile, "Madam, are you planning to write me a letter?"
Why does he have to be so narcissistic every time he sees this guy?
Yun Chuwei rolled his eyes at him, and then said with a smile: "I don't like to write on paper if I scold you. It's a waste of pen and ink. I like to come directly."
Su Yan's beautiful phoenix eyes were bent, "I also like to come directly."
The conversation is not on one channel again.
Yun Chu felt a chill down her back, she didn't want to deal with him any more, and began to patrol around by herself, she must find the mailbox as soon as possible to complete her plan.
After turning around twice, Yun Chuwei didn't even see the shadow of the mailbox, so he couldn't help but feel discouraged, and planned to go out and ask the driver if he remembered the wrong location.
Like a magic trick, Su Yan took out a small postbox at the right time and played with it on his fingertips.
Yun Chuwei was in a hurry to get things done, and didn't want to waste time elsewhere, so his attitude softened a bit, "Well, Master Jiu, can you give me this thing?"
"Yes." Su Yan agreed simply, "I won't charge you money, but you have to exchange things."
Yun Chuwei frowned suddenly, "What?"
"Hmm..." Su Yan said, "You once said in Tanxianglou that as long as we meet ten times within a month, you will..."
"No, wait!" Yun Chuwei raised his hand to stop him, "When did I say that?"
Su Yan said seriously: "It doesn't matter who said it, what matters is that since that day, you have been hiding in the Hou's mansion and refused to come out. You are clearly escaping."
Why does this tone sound like a "resentful woman" in it?
Yun Chu gritted his teeth slightly, "Isn't this the point? Please tell me what you can listen to!"
"Oh." Su Yan said: "Today is our first meeting after the last farewell. If you promise that this mailbox can cover the remaining nine meetings, I will give it to you for free."
Yun Chuwei: "..."
Please, how much is a mailbox?It's great to be able to sell it for a tael of silver, but once the nine meetings are completed, it is equivalent to acknowledging his agreement and agreeing to marry him.
Want to marry a daughter-in-law just with a mailbox of one tael of silver?He is quite good at counting!
"Fuck you!" Yun Chuwei gave him a stern look, then turned around with his sleeves thrown, "I don't want it anymore!"
What a joke!That is her lifelong event, is she not full enough to wear and warm, or is she unable to earn money, tear white lotus and deal with green tea?Do you have to rush to marry a disciple who has treated her lightly before meeting her?
The point is that this guy's way of proposing is too bastard!He never asked her if she was willing or not, and looked at her eyes as if he could eat her up anytime, anywhere. He was simply a rogue among rogues, and he couldn't be more rogue!
Seeing that Yun Chuwei was about to leave, Su Yan said slowly: "In the entire capital, there are only five shops that sell mailboxes. Before you entered this door, I had someone go to say hello, and all shops will sell the same post box. Conditions come, are you sure you want to go to another place to get the goods?"
Yun Chu paused slightly, turned his head, his eyes turned cold, "Are you threatening me?"
"No, it's to help you."
"Help me?" Yun Chuwei's eyes became suspicious.
"Yes, to help you match a match made in heaven."
It is clear that the jade tree is facing the wind and looks like a god, but the words that come out of his mouth make people want to beat him up.
Yun Chuwei raised his eyebrows, and his anger jumped up.
She was a little puzzled, facing Yun Jingshu's shameless Bailian, she could calmly deal with it, but when she was born in front of this person, she really wanted to unleash all the anger in her body and burn him to ashes without any concealment.
Su Yan's white fingertips tapped the abacus erratically, making a slight "cracking" sound, making the shop even more silent.
Yun Chuwei clenched and loosened his fists, loosened and clenched again, and finally decided to leave after confirming that the strength gap between himself and the opponent was too great.
She has always been magnanimous and does not have the same knowledge as hooligans.
"Wei Wei." Su Yan's voice came from behind again, this time more serious than before, "Tell me what you want to do, and I can help you."
"Jiuye's condition for helping me is sky-high, and I can't afford it." Yun Chuwei didn't turn his head back.
She is not so stupid to bet her life's happiness!
"I can help you get the stamp of the post station." He said: "The letter in your hand was sent by the third prince. In order to deceive people, he dared not use his own people, so he simply borrowed the letter from the postman at the post station in the capital. When you distributed the official newspapers to the government officials, you sent the letters with them. Today is the day to distribute the official newspapers. The third prince took this opportunity to put the private letters in the official newspapers so that he could come to Dongyanghou Mansion. As for who the Hou Mansion is supporting, it must be the servant girl arranged by the Third Prince next to Yun Jingshu."
The properties of the newspapers are somewhat similar to those of later generations. The person in charge of the newspapers will regularly write official documents such as the emperor's edicts, edicts, and ministers' memorials on bamboo slips, silk or books, and then send them to post stations for distribution in batches. Faraway places are delivered by couriers on fast horses, and around the capital are delivered by postmen at post stations.
If Su Yan didn't say anything, Yun Chuwei would never have imagined how the third prince's letter reached Dongyang Houfu.
With one foot already out of the door, she suddenly raised her eyebrows, retracted her feet, and turned around, "How could Master Jiu know that the letter in my hand is from the Third Prince?"
Su Yan chuckled, "Because we have a good understanding."
Can this kind of nonsense be made up?
Yun Chu hummed lightly.
Su Yan said firmly: "If there is no stamp of the post station, the eunuchs hidden in the Dongyang Marquis Mansion will not know that it is a letter from the third prince, let alone transfer it to Yun Jingshu."
Yun Chu was a little moved, but what Su Yan said seemed to make sense. Since the third prince chose such a conservative and safe way to deliver letters to Yun Jingshu, it must be that Yun Jingshu also knew about this method of sending letters. The insider beside Yun Jingshu is even more familiar with the communication process between the two, and she will not recognize the letter if she does not see the stamp.
Then I have been busy for a long time, isn't it all in vain?
The post station in the capital is heavily guarded, so there is no place for a girl like Yun Chuwei to enter. If this matter is to be settled, Su Yan must be troubled.
With pursed lips, Yun Chuwei reluctantly said: "You can do me this favor, but the conditions can't be too high, otherwise I'll lose my face."
"I won't negotiate terms with you." He smiled slightly, "You wait here, I will personally go to the capital station and ask someone to stamp the station's seal for you, then hide it in the newspaper, and then send someone to deliver it to you immediately. Go to Dongyang Marquis Mansion, within an hour, the report will be in Yun Jingshu's hands."
Didn't even talk about the terms?This is not like Jiu Ye's style, Yun Chu thought to himself secretly.
Seeing that he didn't seem to be lying, Yun Chuwei finally handed the two pieces of letterhead to Su Yan, and confessed, "This is two copies, one with 'Yun Jingshu's personal letter' written on it, and the other with The words 'Yun Xueyao's personal revelation' are meant to be delivered to these two people at the same time, so don't get confused and screw it up, or I'll never end with you!"
He took it with a smile, packed the copy of the letter in his own mailbox, put it in his sleeve pocket, and went out quickly.
After Su Yan walked away, Mei Zi dared to poke her head in and ask, "Girl, is the matter settled?"
Yun Chu shook his head slightly and said, "We have to wait a little longer. You go and inform the driver that you don't have to wait for us to return. Anyway, he has to collect money while waiting. It's a waste of my money. You send him there and wait for the matter to be settled." Alright, let’s rent another one and go back.”
"Okay!" Meizi immediately walked to the side of the street, and told the driver what Yun Chuwei had said.
The coachman had already finished his tea, and after listening to Meizi's words, he drove the carriage back to the carriage house.
Su Yan moved very quickly, and came back after only one incense stick. He opened the bamboo curtain and entered the shop.
Yun Chu asked excitedly, "Is it done?"
"The delivery has already started at the post station." Su Yan said: "At most one hour, the newspaper can arrive at Dongyang Hou Mansion with two private letters."
Yun Chu smacked his tongue inwardly, a person with power has a lot of face, and a touch of his mouth can turn ghosts into trouble.
Where is the capital station?Most people can't even enter the important place where the imperial court distributes official documents. However, Su Yan not only entered, but also easily sent people to Dongyang Houfu to deliver another report.
Power is a good thing, but it's a pity that Yun Chuwei is just a girl, so it's impossible to have it.
No matter how capable she is, she will at most follow Lu Xiuyuan in the future and become a queen merchant. After all, she is still a businessman, which is incomparable to an official.
Although the first few meetings were not very pleasant, but this time Su Yan was indeed a great help, Yun Chuwei said sincerely, "Thank you, Master Jiu, for taking care of today's matter."
"You're welcome." Su Yan took a sip of tea lightly, "After all, this is the second time we have met in our agreement."
Yun Chuwei immediately lost face.
No wonder this guy insisted on asking her to wait in the shop in person. It turned out that once he came back after a stick of incense, it would be considered as the second meeting!
After all the calculations, she still couldn't figure out his black belly.
"I'm looking forward to our third meeting." He said with a smile.
Yun Chuwei let out a "hehe", "Sorry, I still have something to do, so I'm leaving first."
She wanted to go back in a hurry to see Yun Jingshu and Yun Xueyao with their own eyes.
-
Dongyang Hou Mansion.
The neiying arranged by the third prince He Lianyu next to Yun Jingshu was actually the little girl who fell to the ground in the morning and was picked up by Meizi, her name was Shuangqiao.
She lost the letter sent by the third prince, and she never dared to tell Yun Jingshu. She searched for it ten times back and forth, but she couldn't find it.
Shuangqiao was worried, and didn't know what important event the third prince had. If the third girl didn't arrive on time after an appointment, all the crimes would have to be blamed on her.
At this time, she returned to the gate and searched carefully, even picking up the grass that she hadn't walked through.
Not long after, there was a sound of horseshoes, and it was the postman from the post station in the capital riding over.
Shuangqiao's heart skipped a beat, could it be that she lost the letter and wasted time, and the third prince sent another letter to remind her?
The postman got off his horse, saw only Shuangqiao was alone outside the gate, and said, "There is one missing copy of the morning newspaper. This is sent by Master Yicheng, please send it to Lord Hou."
Shuangqiao took it with trembling hands, and when the postman left, she squeezed the package containing the newspaper, and sure enough, she found the postbox, and when she saw no one was around, she stepped aside to open the package and took the two postboxes come out.
Of the two mailboxes, one was written "Designed by Yun Jingshu", and the other was written "Designed by Yun Xueyao".
Strange, when did the third prince have contact with the fourth girl?
After all, Shuangqiao is just an internal response who handles errands for others, so she didn't dare to think too much, so she took the first mailbox and went to Yun Jingshu's place first.
Yun Jingshu took the mailbox and slowly opened it. After seeing clearly the time when the third prince had an appointment above, she finally regained some vigor after being haggard for a few days, and immediately put on some makeup.
Shuangqiao didn't dare to tell Yun Jingshu that the third prince also wrote a letter to Yun Xueyao, and sent it secretly.
Yun Xueyao had some doubts about this inexplicable letter, but after seeing the stamp on it clearly, all doubts were eliminated, and it was definitely not a trick to get the stamp of the capital station.
After taking the mailbox and opening it, Yun Xueyao saw the writing on it clearly, her heart jumped up.
It was the third prince's handwriting, she recognized it.
At a palace banquet last year, the third prince wrote an entire book of the "Avatamsaka Sutra" that he had memorized by heart for the queen mother. Everyone present at that time had seen his handwriting, including Yun Xueyao, of course. .
The third prince actually invited her to meet?
Yun Xueyao's heart swelled to the point of bursting, she stopped thinking about him, and immediately ordered Liu Xu to come in and dress her up.
-
Yun Jingshu was going out of the house, and when she went to Fan's to ask for a match, she used the excuse that a close friend in her boudoir sent someone a post, and the two of them hadn't seen each other for a long time, so they wanted to go and walk around.
Fan thought in her heart that Sister Jing had been feeling a lot of depression in her heart because of the fact that she was going to marry into the Su Mansion. Pair.
Not long after, Yun Xueyao came and said that she would leave the house.
Fan was puzzled.
What good thing happened today? Why did one or two of them all come to tell her that they would leave the house?
"There is a banquet at my grandfather's house, and my mother is not free, so let me go for her." Even though it was a made-up excuse, Yun Xueyao said it without blushing.
Fan Shi didn't want to have a dispute with the second room person, so after hesitating again and again, he also gave the right card.
In this way, three girls left the house with a pair of cards today.
-
Seven Bend Alley.
Yun Xueyao had never been to this place before, and it took a lot of effort to find it.
However, the scene not far away made her stunned.
The third prince, He Lianyu, was dressed in a purple brocade robe, with a fair complexion, handsome features, and slightly raised thin lips. He was chatting and laughing with people, with a radiant look, obviously in a happy mood.
And the person talking and laughing with him was none other than Yun Jingshu.
The fact that the third prince proposed to marry Yun Jingshu in front of Emperor Yonglong spread throughout the capital, but Emperor Yonglong never let go, which meant that there was no hope for the two of them.
What's more, Yun Jingshu has been designated as the fourth young mistress of the Su family. At this time, how can she still have the face to come out to meet the third prince?
The more Yun Xueyao thought about it, the more angry she became, she sneered and walked out with her skirt in her hands, her voice was sharp and piercing, "Hey, isn't this the third sister, why didn't you stay in the boudoir to make a wedding dress, why did you come out to see the third prince? "
After hearing the voice, Yun Jingshu's expression changed immediately.
"Yun Xueyao, why are you here?"
Panicked, Yun Jingshu couldn't care less about maintaining her image in front of the third prince, and glared at Yun Xueyao sternly.
"Of course the Third Highness invited me here." Yun Xueyao glanced at He Lianyu, then at Yun Jingshu, her smile gradually sneered, "I would like to ask, Third Sister, the prospective fifth young mistress of the Su family, why Will it appear in a place like Seven Bend Alley?"
Yun Jingshu's eyes were instantly darkened by the sound of "the prospective fifth young lady of the Su family".
The matter of being selected to marry into the Su family, she hadn't mentioned anything to the third prince. She planned to talk about it later, and asked the third prince if there was a way to solve it. Unexpectedly, Yun Xueyao poked it out first.
"Jing'er, what is the meaning of what the fourth girl said?"
Yun Xueyao is the granddaughter of Huang Shoufu, and He Lianyu is the prince who participated in the conquest of the heir apparent. Now is the time to woo people everywhere. He dare not offend Yun Xueyao easily, so he didn't show any signs of dissatisfaction with Yun Xueyao's appearance. Excessive anger, only a pair of dark eyes had a cold gleam, and his eyes fell on Yun Jingshu, full of anger.
Yun Jingshu couldn't argue with everything, her eyes turned red anxiously, and immediately grabbed He Lianyu's sleeve, "Third Highness, there is some misunderstanding about this matter, don't listen to my fourth sister's one-sided words."
Seeing that he was about to get the Dongyang Marquis Mansion behind Yun Jingshu, but the Yun family suddenly wanted to marry her into the Su family, how could He Lianyu not be angry?
"You told me before that the person who married into the Su family was your sister who came from the countryside. So, you lied to me about those words?"
He Lianyu instantly felt that he was a complete fool, because he believed that she loved her so much, and that he tried his best to please her, but in the end, he only got her hypocrisy and lies.
"No, how dare I deceive His Highness the Third Highness." Yun Jingshu burst into tears.
It was rare to grab Yun Jingshu's braid, how could Yun Xueyao let it go easily, her eyes were full of sarcasm, "Third Sister, it's time like this, what are you still struggling for? When Sister Wei entered the mansion, Daddy My uncle once said that she is not a true daughter of the first wife, so she cannot marry into the Su family. Why, you didn't tell the third highness about this, and let the third highness wait for you so hard Long?"
Yun Jingshu was filled with hatred, wishing she could tear Yun Xueyao's mouth apart with her own hands.
"Stop talking!"
After roaring, he turned his head to look at He Lianyu, the matter has developed into this way, the most important thing right now is whether He Lianyu believes her or not.
"Third Highness, we have been in love for so long, don't you even give me this little trust?"
Yun Jingshu looked into his eyes without blinking, as long as he nodded and said he trusted her, then it would be useless for Yun Xueyao to say more, if he didn't believe her, even if she had a hundred explanations, he would not listen of.
"Third Miss, please respect yourself." He Lianyu took a step back with a distant expression, and no longer called her "Jing'er" as before, but the cold "Third Miss".
Yun Jingshu could almost hear her own heartbroken voice.
She leaned against the wall with a wry smile. This is the man she has been thinking about for so long. Just a single instigation from others can disintegrate the so-called "never leave" between them.
Those sworn vows are all just for fun, right?
Tears gushed out like a broken thread, constantly pouring out Yun Jingshu's despair.
Looking at this scene, Yun Xueyao was in a good mood, she hooked her lips happily, and looked at He Lianyu, "Third Highness, I don't know why you sent a message for the daughter-in-law to come out?"
He Lianyu was taken aback, when did he send the letter to Yun Xueyao?
Before he could express his doubts, Yun Xueyao had already taken out the letterhead stamped with the stamp of the Beijing station.
He Lianyu took a closer look, and his face changed drastically, "Why do you have this in your hand?"
Yun Xueyao was full of doubts, "This is the handwriting of His Highness the Third Highness, I can recognize it, isn't it written in your own handwriting and sent to me?"
He Lianyu has one head and two big ones.
The letter paper was indeed his handwriting, and the stamp of the capital post station could not be faked. The person who invited him was clearly Yun Jingshu. When did he become Yun Xueyao?
He Lianyu had no choice but to shift his gaze to Yun Jingshu, hoping that she could give him a reasonable explanation.
Yun Jingshu looked at these two people with cold eyes, and the bitterness in her heart surged up one after another.
Since she is not the only one who has dated, why bother to put on a show here now?
With another wry smile, she turned around and left, not wanting to see the pretentious faces of these two people again.
She is a proud person, and she really liked He Lianyu, but she still can't be humbled to the dust for him, and she is unfaithful a hundred times, since He Lianyu failed her for a granddaughter of Huang Shoufu, Then there is no need for her to hang herself from a tree.
She is the noble daughter of Dongyang Marquis Mansion who is envied by so many girls in the capital, how could she be knocked down by such a small setback?
Want her to wag her tail in front of him and beg for his sympathy and tolerance?She Yun Jingshu didn't even bother!
Looking at Yun Jingshu's cold and resolute back gradually going away, He Lianyu suddenly regretted it, as if he shouldn't have looked at her with such suspicion.
"Jinger!"
He Lianyu yelled at Yun Jingshu's back, Yun Jingshu just pretended not to hear, without even turning her head, she quickly walked out of Qiwan Lane, got into a carriage and went straight to Dongyang Hou's Mansion.
Only He Lianyu and Yun Xueyao were left in this quiet and cold deserted alley.
"Third Highness." Yun Xueyao's heart was beating fast, her voice was several times softer than before, her face was blushing with embarrassment, "You invited my courtier, do you have something special to say to me?"
Facing He Lianyu, Yun Xueyao's usual arrogance was gone, replaced by a cute and docile like a little sheep.
Seeing her, He Lianyu thought of Yun Jingshu.
When Yun Jingshu was alone with him, even though she was talking and laughing, she had a cool demeanor in her bones, she would never go overboard, let alone talk to him with a blushing face like Yun Xueyao.
Thinking of this, a trace of disgust suddenly appeared in He Lianyu's heart, but he had to suppress it.
There is no way, Yun Xueyao's maternal ancestral background cannot be underestimated.
Yun Xueyao's grandfather, Huang Xingxian, was the chief assistant of the cabinet.
What is the chief assistant of the cabinet?That is, the chief academician of the current dynasty, who commands the cabinet, is higher than the six ministries, and has administrative power so great that it can resist the imperial power. It can be said that apart from the emperor, the highest power holder in the Nanliang government is the chief assistant of the cabinet.
He Lianyu understood very well that Huang Xingxian held power that he could not contend with. Once he annoyed Yun Xueyao because of today's trivial matter, Yun Xueyao ran back to her grandfather's house to complain, and Huang Shoufu would go to his father to beat him Two sentences, then his life is over.
With a forced smile on his face, He Lianyu became the gentle and elegant third prince in an instant. No matter who calculated that letter, it doesn't matter now. Wouldn't it be a good opportunity to say something and do something?
"Actually, I invited the fourth girl to come out today because I wanted to say that I have admired Huang Shoufu's knowledge since I was a child, but he is upright and upright. He would not accept anyone's invitation to dinner and drink on weekdays. Nanliang has him, the cabinet has him, it's me, Helian The honor of the family, as a descendant of the Helian family, I should thank him for my father, I heard that the fourth girl has always been close to my grandfather's family, can you help me invite Huang Shoufu?"
Yun Xueyao's eyes lit up, she understood He Lianyu's meaning, and cooperating with the third prince, she wanted to win over her grandfather to add help to her road to succession, that's why she came to her.
She is Huang Shoufu's granddaughter. If the third prince marries her, she will be directly related to the Huang family. At that time, won't her grandfather show some face and support the third prince?
Thinking of this, Yun Xueyao smiled sweetly, "As long as it is what the Third Highness asks, I will try my best to make it for you, it's just..."
At the end of the sentence, he showed some hesitation.
He Lianyu saw through her thoughts at a glance, "Don't worry, after the matter is completed, I will not miss your benefits."
Yun Xueyao immediately laughed, "I know that the Third Highness is also very particular about people, so this matter is settled. After the Queen Mother's birthday, I will find a chance to go back to my grandfather's house to help you find out."
It was only today that she said in front of her aunt that she would go back to her grandfather's house for a banquet. In the near future, it is impossible for her to go to Huang's mansion again.
"Then thank you Miss Yun Si." He Lianyu said politely.
"Third Highness, please be polite."
-
Yun Jingshu returned to the Hou's Mansion with a sombre face, Fan heard the wind and hurried to her small courtyard and knocked on the door.
"Sister Jing, what's wrong with you?"
Fan Shi had never seen Yun Jingshu show such a decisive expression today, and she was very anxious, afraid that something might happen to her if she couldn't figure it out for a while.
Yun Jingshu took a deep breath, her voice was cold and cold, "Mother, don't worry about it in the future, this relationship with the Su family, I just marry it!"
Fan Shi was taken aback, "You, you really want to see through?"
"Think through it." Yun Jingshu said lightly. She had thought through it all the way back. Since what He Lianyu wanted was not her herself, but the Dongyang Marquis Mansion behind her, why did she still want to die? Beg Bailai to stay by his side and fulfill him?
In the entire capital, there are many men who are willing to treat her well, so there is absolutely no need for her to cry and be sad for an unfaithful man.
Because, He Lianyu is not worthy of her tears at all!
"Third Prince, what are you going to say?" Fan was very worried.
"There's nothing to say." Yun Jingshu looked indifferent, as if talking about a stranger, "Marriage has been the order of the parents since ancient times, and the matchmaker's words, not to mention my marriage is the order of his father, how can I not?" Why?"
Jiu Ye said that he will play cosplay until he becomes addicted^_^
Well, although we met for a short time today, it was the first time that the young couple teamed up to cheat people, and there will be more such things in the future.
