One sentence made Zhang Suying instantly understand Bi Cao's identity. She turned out to be a concubine with whom she had a special relationship and could not refuse. No wonder she could follow Yu Jinxi around.
She had met many female relatives with Mrs. Zhang, and sometimes she would also see concubines in other people's homes, but most of the concubines were as beautiful as flowers and jade, and they were as pitiful and "rough" as green grass. This was the first time she had seen them.
This Master Gu really doesn't refuse anyone who comes.
Seeing Zhang Suying glance at the green grass from time to time, Yu Jinxi added another sentence, "Mrs. Gu said that her body is good at giving birth to sons, so she was specially hired to help the Gu family."
Zhang Suying burst out laughing, then lowered her voice and whispered to Yu Jinxi, "Specialized in giving birth to sons? Did Mrs. Gu adopt an old sow that specializes in giving birth to sons?"
Yu Jinxi suppressed a smile and glanced at her, "You have such a poor mouth."
Zhang Suying stuck out her tongue at her playfully.
Yu Jinxi said seriously, "I invited you here not only to talk about these gossips, but also to do business."
"What's the business?" Zhang Suying immediately looked serious.
Yu Jinxi said, "I have sold several shops that were losing money in the past two days, but I was in a hurry to sell them, and the prices were not very good..."
Before she finished speaking, Zhang Suying said, "I have some private money on hand. Sister Yu, how much do you want, I'll buy it. I promise not to bargain."
Yu Jinxi smiled, "I've already sold it, I don't want you to waste your money."
"Ah? Why didn't you tell me in advance?"
Zhang Suying had a look of regret for her, "Your shop is your dowry, no matter how much you sell it, it will save you from being worried about me, but you should tell me, even if you don't want to take advantage of me, at least I won’t let you suffer either.”
Seeing that she was really thinking about him, Yu Jinxi knew that he had found the right partner.
"I didn't suffer a loss either. I used my shop in exchange for some rights, so I came to find you."
Zhang Suying looked confused, "What rights?"
Yu Jinxi explained in a low voice, "I sold the shop at a low price, but I have half the decision-making power on what to sell in it. Now that the shop has found a good owner, it will not be a problem to make money after careful calculation."
"Unfortunately, I don't have much cash on hand, so I don't have enough money to purchase goods. Are you interested in working with me?"
Zhang Suying understood, and then said, "Sister Yu, tell me how much capital you are short of, and I will give it to you if you have it. When the time comes, if you make money, you can pay it back to me."
"That's not possible." Yu Jinxi shook his head, "It's not just a small amount of money, and it's not one shop, but four shops. I don't have the shame to ask my parents for help, and I have no shame to ask you, a girl who has not left the court, to borrow money."
"If you want to do business and find it interesting, you can consider what I said. If you are not interested, forget it."
Hearing this, Zhang Suying asked in surprise, "Can I also ask? I will sell whatever I say?"
Yu Jinxi said, "If it works, why don't you do what you say?"
Zhang Suying's eyes sparkled, "I thought I handed the money to you and ignored it. Then when it was due, the shopkeeper would give me the money to split the account. That was actually quite boring."
"Since I have some decision-making power, I will definitely not do this. Have you forgotten how I sold these shops? They are all the consequences of letting go."
Yu Jinxi talked about the past very frankly and did not feel embarrassed. Zhang Suying also boldly said, "Sister Yu, your family...is a traitor?"
Yu Jinxi was slightly startled, neither admitting nor denying it. He picked up the teacup and drank tea quietly.
Just when Zhang Suying thought she had said the wrong thing and was about to apologize, Yu Jinxi said in a calm tone, "Sister Suying, you must never imitate me in the future. Take care of your own things, and don't overwhelm yourself with your skills. Even if Zhang is the master Courtiers, but once you get married, they can't help you much, you have to rely on yourself for everything."
Hearing this, Zhang Suying was silent for a moment, and then said softly, "I know."
Yu Jinxi had finished her point. She knew that Zhang Suying would marry the third prince of the current dynasty as the princess and the emperor's son as the daughter-in-law. She seemed to have a noble status and unparalleled scenery, but she had to be careful when dealing with people and things. That was the real thing. of Shura Field.
Zhang Suying is not stupid, and she has some tricks, but those tricks are useful in the inner chambers of ordinary officials. If they were in the palace, they would still be too immature.
She was good to Yu Jinxi, and Yu Jinxi thought about her more.
When doing business, you will meet honest and kind people, and you will also meet cheating people. Honest people are not often found, but there are many cheating people.
Those methods of hers have to be used in the hands of outsiders to know whether they are of any use.
The two of them had no intention of having a fast meal at the Buddha Temple. They sat and walked around before heading back home.
When we walked to the door of the temple, there was a carriage parked at the door. A girl just got out of the carriage, and there were several maids and women waiting on her.
Among the crowd, Yu Jinxi saw Yanhuai at a glance.
Wearing a black gown, he got off the horse in a smart manner and walked with the girl who got off the carriage.
"Isn't that... Zuo Yutang?"
Zhang Suying recognized it with sharp eyes, and Yu Jinxi was slightly confused. It took him a while to realize, "Zuo Yutang? The granddaughter of Zuo Shangshu's family?"
"yes!"
Zhang Suying nodded, "Didn't she say in front of many people before, 'Even if she is a sister-in-law, she will not marry a prodigal like Yanhuai?' Why are you coming to the Buddha Temple with Yanhuai now?"
Yu Jinxi was also a little confused, but these were difficult to ask.
Yanhuai's reputation was not very good, but he was good-looking, and because of his status as a county prince, this Zuo girl hated him on the surface, but she was actually very happy in her heart.
The four people went up and down, and bumped into each other.
Yu Jinxi and Zuo Yutang only heard their names but never saw them. However, Zhang Suying and Zuo Yutang knew each other. They said hello briefly, introduced each other, and then left.
From beginning to end, Yu Jinxi and Yan Huai not only didn't say a word, they didn't even look at each other.
Yanhuai was even indifferent to her.
When they walked away, Zhang Suying asked quietly, "Sister Yu, have you offended Prince Yan again?"
Thinking about what she said that day, plus Yanhuai's angry look.
Yu Jinxi nodded.
Not only did he offend him, he also made him very angry.
"No matter what Prince Yan said, he helped you that day. Sister Yu, you must not be ungrateful."
Zhang Suying suddenly turned around to help Yanhuai speak. Yu Jinxi looked at her inexplicably, "Do you think I am an ungrateful person?"
Zhang Suying shook her head quickly and said with a smile, "Sister Yu is a kind-hearted person, otherwise how could I be friends with you?"
Yu Jinxi smiled helplessly.
She was grateful to Yanhuai and grateful to him for helping her as always in his past life.
Therefore, her gratitude was never visible, but somewhere he could not see.
