It was just as Yunchu expected.
The next day she heard that Lord Yu scolded Xie Jingyu at the palace gate and handed all the official documents that Xie Jingyu was responsible for to Lord Yuan.
Although Xie Jingyu has the support of the Yun family, he has not been successfully promoted to the fifth rank. In addition, the Xie family has made frequent jokes recently and offended Marquis Xuanwu. Many people in the court are waiting to see bigger jokes. Xie Jingyu is also a A man with a tough mind, even if he is ridiculed by others, he still goes to work early and never takes a day off.
Xie Jingyu couldn't see anything strange in front of others. Only the boy in his study knew how many tea cups he had smashed.
"Father, this may be a good thing." Xie Shi'an picked up the fragments on the ground and said calmly, "In the past five years, the Xie family has been so prosperous. The number one scholar rode a horse through the streets, and then he married the legitimate daughter of a first-rank general. In just five years, He was promoted to two ranks within a year. There are only a handful of people in this dynasty who have been promoted so quickly. How many people are jealous of my father. Now that my father has stepped down from his official duties, those people have got what they wanted. My father is just taking some time off."
Xie Jingyu's face was gloomy: "Marquis Xuanwu is not planning to let go of my Xie family."
"Another reason is that the Yun family has not expressed its position." Xie Shi'an continued, "As long as someone in the Yun family is willing to stand with his father, Marquis Xuanwu will naturally not dare to encourage the courtiers to isolate his father."
Xie Jingyu drank all the tea on the table in one gulp.
He had already asked Yun Chu to come forward to Xuanwuhou's Mansion. Should he ask Yun Chu to ask Mrs. Yun to go to Xuanwuhou's Mansion to persuade him to make peace?
"It's not necessary to ask the Yun family to come forward." Xie Shi'an said, "Father, I still say that misfortune depends on blessings. Since things have reached this point, let's take advantage of the trend, restrain our sharpness, hibernate and prepare, and wait. Next chance.”
Xie Jingyu knew that this was the only way to go now.
Leaving the study, Xie Shi'an sighed.
After all, the relationship between father and mother is too weak, otherwise mother would definitely take the initiative to solve father's current predicament.
As soon as he reached the door of his yard, Mr. He walked out from the side and said with a worried look on his face: "Brother An, your brother didn't come back even after he went to Zhuangzi. Can you please ask your father for permission?" How many days will I go to Zhuangzi to take care of you?"
"Auntie, if you want to go, you can go at any time, but you have to remember that if you go, you may never be able to return to Xie's Mansion." Xie Shi'an said coldly, "I mean, it's good for us all to leave. , Auntie, why not find an excuse to stay in Zhuangzi forever."
He's instinctive objection: "You and Sister Ping are still at Xie's house. How could I leave? What if I leave and something happens to you and Sister Ping like Brother Wei..."
"If you don't want to leave the Xie family, then I can be your aunt peacefully." Xie Shi'an said a little tiredly, "My father's career has been hindered, so don't upset him."
He frowned and entered his room.
He bit his lower lip.
After becoming an aunt, you no longer have the freedom to leave the house. Madam is so scheming.
Fortunately, there was a little nun in the temple who was willing to help her, otherwise none of the screen handkerchiefs she embroidered would be sold.
Yun Chu sat on the couch, and Ting Shuang stood beside him and reported: "In the past few days, Marquis Xuanwu has not gone to court, and there has been no movement."
She saw with her own eyes that Marquis Xuanwu's face became swollen immediately after being slapped by his wife. No one else would be so willing to let it go.
It didn't matter that Marquis Xuanwu suppressed the Xie family, but she was worried that his wife would be in trouble.
Yun Chu drank tea.
Trying to recall her previous life, until her death, she had no interaction with Marquis Xuanwu.
Who would have thought that Marquis Xuanwu would have such dark thoughts towards her? No wonder he asked her to make peace with him at the old lady's birthday party last time.
She would naturally stay away from someone who had dirty thoughts towards her.
Ruining your own reputation is a small matter, but ruining the Yun family's reputation is a big deal...
"Madam, all the maids, wives and servants in the second young master's yard are here." Ting Xue came in to report.
Yun Chu nodded and let people into the garden.
Xie Shiwei went to Zhuangzi and only brought one personal boy to take care of him. The others stayed behind. There were two girls, two women, and a boy. The five of them stood at the foot of the steps with their heads lowered.
Now that Yun Chu is in charge, he no longer uses his dowry to subsidize the Xie family. All the money on the Xie family's books is the income from her father-in-law's village.
She had no intention of saving money for the Xie family.
She said: "The old lady is old and has been ill. Now she needs help. You two ladies can go to the old lady's yard. The third young master is getting older, so you two should go to the third young master's yard to take care of her. .”
In the end, only Jiu'er was left standing in the yard.
Yunchu looked at her and said, "Just stay and work for me."
Jiuer nodded: "It's Madam."
She knew something she shouldn't know. She had known for a long time that the madam would not let her serve in another yard.
"I have a Zhuangzi in the suburbs of Beijing, and I have many things for you to do." Yunchu said, "I have asked the doctor, you still have three silver needles in your body, and you need to soak in hot springs all year round to drain them out. It just so happens that Zhuangzi There is a hot spring in there, so you can have a good health. Once you are healthy, I will help you do big things."
Jiu'er opened her eyes in shock.
When the doctor told her about the hot spring, she couldn't even think about it. This was a hot spring pool only for wealthy people. How could a lowly girl like her have such a blessing?
She thought, as long as there are needles in her body, it is her fate to die.
Unexpectedly, Madam actually sent her to a village with hot springs to let her soak in the hot springs to recuperate. After rescuing her, she was not afraid that she would tell the Xie family. Did Madam have anything to do with the Second Young Master?
Why does Madam trust her so much?
Not allowing her to think too much, Tingshuang took her down.
Yunchu lowered his head and looked at Chamo.
Sooner or later, she will have to promote a few girls, because soon, she will marry Tingshuang Tingxue, and she will always need someone to do things around her.
Although Jiu'er is young, after going through this experience, he can be regarded as having a dim sum Ji Chengfu. He can be cultivated slowly and become a capable assistant in the future.
As for trust, it doesn't exist.
Even the children she raised by herself could betray her one by one, so how could she completely trust a girl she didn't know too well.
It's just that Jiu'er is the best choice at the moment.
During this period, Xie Jingyu went home after court. In order to avoid meeting him, Yun Chu basically stayed away from Shengju.
It wasn't until the middle of May that the ice shop opened, and she had her horses ready and went to the streets to see the excitement.
She ordered a pot of tea in the teahouse opposite the ice shop, sat near the window and looked at the shop.
Because it is getting hotter and hotter, there are not many people coming to the ice shop.
"For some reason, the stores that sold ice in previous years didn't have ice cubes. I heard that they were all bought by a southern businessman in March and April."
"It's so cold in March and April. Who knew it would be so hot as soon as May entered. My master didn't buy ice in advance because of this. No, please arrange for me to buy more ice."
"There is only one ice shop in the entire capital. It is simply outrageous."
"..."
Yunchu also felt it was outrageous.
Could it be that in March and April, all the ice in the capital and nearby cities was bought by Chen Defu?
If she was the only one selling ice, I'm afraid something would happen.
Yunchu opened his mouth and gave Tingshuang some instructions. Tingshuang's eyes gradually brightened.
At this time, a voice suddenly sounded from behind: "Mrs. Xie."
Yunchu turned around and saw a man wearing black brocade clothes standing a table away. It was Pingxi Wang Chuyi.
