When the last of the evening sunlight cleared, Yun Chou returned to the Xie family.
The maids served up dinner one by one, and by the time the meal was over, it was completely dark.
She went back to change into a short shirt and followed Qiutong around the courtyard to practice some basic moves, sweating after half an hour of practice.
Listening to the snow, she asked her mother-in-law to bring hot water to prepare hot water for Yun Chou's bath, and then sprinkled some sun-dried flower petals in the tub.
Yun Chou was in the middle of undressing when Hearing Wind came to report outside the door, "Your Ladyship, the lord and the eldest young master are here."
Her brow furrowed lightly, what were these two doing here this late at night?
However, thinking about King Pingxi's words, he could also guess that it was approximately related to the quota for the State Scholarship.
She spoke without panic, "Just tell them I'm bathing, and we'll talk about what's going on tomorrow."
Listening to the wind nodded and went down.
Yun Chou leaned back in the tub and casually took a book to read, waiting for the water to almost get cold before getting up.
Hearing Frost stood behind her and rubbed her hair, and when it was almost dry, she then put on her tunic and crooked herself on the couch to continue reading.
She wasn't a very good sleeper at the moment, having to go to bed barely until the hour of midnight, and before she went to sleep she would read books in various categories that she hadn't read before.
"Your Ladyship, the lord and the eldest young master haven't left yet." Listening Wind walked in and said softly, "Does Your Ladyship want to see them?"
Yun Chou laughed coldly.
Whenever something goes wrong, they come to her. They really think she's a lifesaver.
A twenty-eight year old man who comes to his wife when he encounters anything, she is despising Xie Jingyu from the bottom of her heart.
Putting down the book and putting on her outerwear, she got up and walked to the side parlor, "Is there something wrong with Husband and An'er coming so late?"
As soon as she came in, Xie Jingyu smelled the fragrance that belonged uniquely to her, he suppressed the fluttering in his heart and spoke, "It was my fault for disturbing madam's rest, it's just that this matter is just too important."
Xie Shi'an took over and said, "Originally, I could have been enrolled in the State Scholarship Academy, but because the Marquis of Xuanwu interfered, my father inquired, and the State Scholarship Academy Priest crossed my name off the list."
"How could there be such a thing?" Yunchu face reveals just the right amount of indignation, "How can Marquis Xuanwu be so oppressive, but brother's son has already been ruined in his hands, how can he ruin brother's son again, speaking of which, his Marquis Xuanwu's son is just a finger rubbing a little skin, but it makes our Xie family pay such a big price, husband, you write a folding paper to the court, I don't believe that the emperor doesn't care about this! "
Xie Jingyu sighed, "His Majesty has newly favored a palace maid, how could he care about this."
Today's emperor is not exactly mediocre, the biggest drawback is good color, as long as the woman on the lookout, non-pet a few days and nights before giving up.
If he is in the folders to write Xie family this small matter, even if the Royal Secretariat will be his folders presented to the emperor in front of the emperor, the emperor is afraid that will not look at two eyes.
"Then what should be good?" Yun Chu had an anxious look on her face, "An Ge'er can't be destroyed just like that."
"Father, mother, don't worry about me." Xie Shi An lifted his head, "In past years, those scholar-advocates didn't all come from the State Scholarship Elementary School, the teacher's guidance is certainly important, but I think that the individual's hard work and diligence is more important than the teacher, as long as I study hard and diligently and conscientiously, regardless of whether or not I'm in the State Scholarship Elementary School, I'm sure that I will be able to obtain a title and excel in the world."
Yun Chou was filled with sarcasm.
If Xie Shi An really didn't care about the place in the State Prison, he wouldn't have waited for her here at night at all.
When he said these words, he was clearly retreating in order to advance, trying to get her, the first mother, to willingly pave the way for him.
She looked up at Xie Shi An, "Brother An, it's rare that you have such a backbone, just as you said, we won't go to that State Elementary School, let your father find you a famous teacher."
"Even the best master teacher is not as good as the State Elementary School." Xie Jingyu said with a complicated expression, "Ma'am, the Yun family is a first-ranked general's residence, can we let Ange'er borrow the Yun family's quota to enter the State Elementary School?"
Yunchu hung her eyes and took a sip of tea.
Xie Jingyu said the exact same thing as in his previous life, only, in his previous life, he was requesting the Yun family to send the third young master, Xie Shiyun, to the State Prison.
When something happened to Xie Shi'an in this life, he let Yunjia use the spot ten years in advance.
She still remembers that when Xie Shi'an entered the palace to study as the head of the case, she took the initiative to go to the palace to see her own aunt, Consort Yun, and requested that Xie Shi'an be the companion reader for the eighth prince.
Although they are all studying in the State Prison, if they become the imperial son's companion, the resources they enjoy can be completely different.
When she thought about it, she was racking her brain to plan for Xie Shi An, and now that she recalled it, she couldn't wait to slap herself to death, it was so stupid.
"Ma'am, I know that the Yun family does not wish to get involved in the struggle for imperial power, so I did not intend to send any children to study in the State Prison." Seeing her silence, Xie Jingyu continued, "If Ange'er was not the material for studying, I would never have made such an excessive request, but madam, you can also see that Ange'er will only be even better than me, and in the future, when Ange'er has a future, it will also be a great help to the Yun family, isn't it?"
Yunchu raised her head, "What Husband said is very true, but I still have to ask my big brother's opinion."
The cloud family gradually success, naturally will not send the child to the State Prison to dip into the royal power, otherwise it will only die faster.
But what the Yun family doesn't want, why should they give it to the Xie family?
The next day when Xie Jingyu returned from the court, he came to Shengju, and his words were urging Yunchu to go to the Yun family earlier to finalize the matter.
Yun Chou delayed returning to the Yun family until the next day.
Passing through the downtown area, she saw that a second store selling ice had opened on the streets of the capital.
It had to be said that Chen Defu's movements were just fast, what she had ordered down only the day before yesterday was already done today.
The price of the new ice store was two taels and two coins of silver per catty, which was quite a bit more expensive than the previous one, which made the business of the original store instantly better.
Many people on the street were talking.
"What a treacherous businessman, isn't ice just water, to sell it so expensive, what's the difference between that and robbing money."
"Which year is not expensive to sell, basically one or two silvers a catty, only this year there is less ice, and the price went to more than two silvers."
"Anyway, it has nothing to do with us little people, we can't afford one or two pieces of silver, so what do we care if it's expensive or not."
"..."
Listening to the wind, he muttered, "Even if they were to sell it at the price of entry, these common people wouldn't be able to afford it, so what qualifications do they have to call out the traitors."
Hearing Frost sighed, "The common people only save three or four taels of silver a year ..."
A piece of ice for the rich and powerful is a year's worth of firewood, rice, oil and salt for the common people.
Yunchu looked out the car window thoughtfully.
The crowd was bustling with people, mostly the most common of the underclass.
In his last life, after the Yun Family's accident, it was these common people who knelt in front of the Imperial City, requesting the Emperor to re-investigate the Yun Family's matter thoroughly.
Although the emperor did not put the pleas of these common people in the bottom of her eyes, she still remembered the kindness of the common people to the Yun family ...
"Listening to Frost, you will talk to Uncle Chen later, after entering the hot month of June, in the name of the Yun family, build a cool shed and place ice for two hours in the afternoon every day to create a place for the people to escape the summer heat." Yun Chu spoke slowly, "In addition, the price of ice will increase every half a month, with no upper limit."
Whenever something is done for the people, they remember it and will give back when needed.
She didn't know if the Yun family in this life would face what happened in her last life, but she would be prepared to deal with it and never let the tragedy happen again.
