It was just as Yun Chou had expected.
The next day she heard that Lord Yu was at the palace gates, scolding Xie Jingyu and handing over all the official documents that were in Xie Jingyu's charge to Lord Yuan.
Xie Jingyu although the cloud family to do backing, but did not successfully rise to the fifth grade, coupled with the recent Xie family frequent jokes, but also offended the Xuanwu Marquis, many people in the court are waiting to see a bigger joke, Xie Jingyu is also a tough-minded person, even if he was ridiculed, he also still go to the morning court, never asked for a day off.
People in front of Xie Jingyu see no difference, only the boy in his study knows how many tealights he smashed.
"Father, this might be a good thing." Xie Shi An picked up the debris on the ground, his tone calmly said, "In these five years, the Xie family has been too glamorous, the Scholarship Scholar rode a horse and paraded the streets, followed by marrying a first grade general's first daughter, and in just five years, the official was promoted to two ranks, there are only a handful of people who have been promoted so fast in this dynasty, how many people are jealous of father, and now that father has unloaded his hands from his official duties, it is sort of like letting those people have what they want, and it is just right for father to rest for a A period of time."
Xie Jingyu's face was grim, "Marquis Xuanwu is not going to spare my Xie family."
"Another reason is that the Yun family has not taken a stand." Xie Shi'an continued, "As long as someone from the Yun family is willing to stand with father, the Marquis of Xuanwu will throw his weight around and naturally won't dare to encourage the courtiers to isolate father."
Xie Jingyu finished the tea on the table in one gulp.
He had already let Yun Chu go out to the Xuanwu Marquis' residence, could he then let Yun Chu go and beg Mrs. Yun to go to the Xuanwu Marquis' residence to persuade them to make peace?
"There's no need to invite the Yun family to step in." Xie Shi An spoke, "Father, I still say that misfortune comes with good fortune, since things have come to this point, let's just go with the flow, curb our fronts, hibernate and prepare for the next opportunity."
Xie Jingyu knew that this was the only way to go at the moment.
Leaving from the study, Xie Shian sighed.
When all is said and done, it is still that the husband and wife relationship between father and mother is too weak, otherwise mother would have taken the initiative to solve father's current predicament.
He had just walked to the door of his courtyard when He came out from the side, full of worry: "Ange'er, your brother didn't have a letter to come back after he went to the manor, can you beg your father to allow me to go to the manor to take care of it for a few days?"
"Auntie, if you want to go, you can go at any time, but you have to remember that if you go, there is a chance that you will never be able to return to the Xie Mansion again." Xie Shi An coldly said, "I mean, leaving is good for both of us, Auntie might as well find an excuse to live in the manor for a long time."
He instinctively objected, "You and Ping sis'er are still in the Xie family, how can I possibly leave, if I leave, you and Ping sis'er are also in an accident like惟哥儿怎么办..."
"Not willing to leave the Xie family, then be your aunt in peace." Xie Shi An said somewhat wearily, "Father's career is hindered, so don't go and upset father."
He pinched his brow and went into his house.
He bit his lower lip.
When you become an aunt, your freedom to go out of the house is gone. Your Ladyship is so kind.
Luckily, there was a little nun in the temple who was willing to do her work for her, or else she wouldn't have been able to sell all those screen handkerchiefs she embroidered.
Yun Chu sat on the couch and listened to Frost standing at the side to report, "In the past few days, Marquis Xuanwu has not been to the court, nor has there been any movement."
She saw with her own eyes, Marquis Xuanwu received a slap from the lady, that face was swollen, anyone else would not be so willing to let go.
It was nothing for Marquis Xuanwu to suppress the Xie family, but she was worried that her ladyship would be looking for trouble.
Yunchu sipped her tea.
Trying to think back to her last life, until she died, she had no interactions with Marquis Xuanwu.
Who would have thought that Marquis Xuanwu would have that kind of dark thoughts about her, no wonder she was allowed to make peace with her during the old lady's birthday banquet last time.
Someone who had dirty thoughts about her, she naturally wanted to stay away from.
Your own reputation ruined is a small matter, even the cloud family fame is a big matter ...
"Ma'am, the maids and maids-in-law and boys from the second young master's courtyard are all here." Listening to the snow came in and reported.
Yunchu nodded and let the people into the garden.
Xie Shiyuan went to the manor and only brought a personal boy over to take care of it, the rest of the people stayed behind, and there were two maids, two grannies, a boy, five people stood at the bottom of the steps with their heads bowed.
Now Yunchu stewardship, did not take their own dowry to subsidize the Xie family, Xie family accounts of the money are her father-in-law's earnings on the estate.
She didn't have the heart to save silver for the Xie family.
She spoke, "The old madam is getting older and has been sick for a while, now she needs manpower to take care of her, so you two grannies will go to the old madam's courtyard. The third young master is getting older, you two go to the third young master's courtyard to serve."
In the end, only Nine was still standing in the yard.
Yun Chou looked at her and said, "Just stay and do things for me."
Nine nodded, "Yes ma'am."
She knew what she wasn't supposed to know, and she'd known for a long time that Her Ladyship wouldn't let her serve in another house.
"I have a manor in the outskirts of the capital, there are many things for you to do." Yunchu opened her mouth, "I asked the doctor, there are still three silver needles in your body, you need to soak in the hot springs all year round to be able to discharge them, it just so happens that there are hot springs in that manor, so you can have a good life and raise a good body and I still have to point to you to do great things."
Nine's eyes widened in shock.
When the doctor told her about the hot springs, she didn't even dare to think about it, but this is a rich and noble people can soak in the soup, she is a lowly lowly girl how can she have such a blessing.
A needle in her body is fine, she thought, when she dies that's her life.
But I didn't expect that Madam would send her to a manor with hot springs, letting her soak in the hot springs to nourish her body, and save her from being afraid that she would tell the Xie family that the second young master's affair had Madam's handiwork?
Why does Madame trust her so much?
Not allowing her to think too much, Hearing Frost took her down.
Yunchu looked down at the tea froth.
Sooner or later, she would have to promote a few maids up, because soon, she would marry off Hearing Frost and Hearing Snow, and there would always be people around to do things.
Nine children, although young, but after this experience, is a point of mind city, slowly cultivate, in the future is also considered a right-hand man.
As for trust, it doesn't exist.
Even the children she raised with her own hands could betray her one by one, so how could she trust a girl she didn't know too well wholeheartedly.
It's just that Nine is the best option at the moment.
During this time, Xie Jingyu went home after the court, and in order to avoid meeting him, Yunchu basically didn't go out of the Sheng residence.
It wasn't until the middle of May that the ice store opened, and that's when she had a horse prepared and went up the street to see what all the fuss was about.
She ordered a pot of tea from the teahouse across the street from the ice store and sat in the window seat looking out over the store.
Because it was getting hotter, the number of people coming to the ice store wasn't exactly low.
"For some reason, the few stores that sold ice in past years were out of ice, and I heard that they were all bought up by a southern merchant in March and April."
"March and April are so cold, who knows that as soon as it enters May it will be hot like this, my master did not buy ice in advance because of this, no, hurriedly arrange for me to come and buy more back."
"It's outrageous that this is the only ice store in the entire capital."
"..."
Yunchu also felt outrageous.
Could it be that in March and April, all the ice in the entire capital and nearby cities had been bought by Chen Defu?
If she's really the only one selling ice, I'm afraid something will happen.
Yun Chou opened her mouth and commanded a few words to Listening Frost, whose eyes gradually brightened.
At that moment, a voice suddenly sounded behind her, "Mrs. Xie."
Yunchu turned around and saw a man in a black brocade coat standing one table away, it was none other than the Pingxi King Chu Yiyi.
