Two carriages stopped at the entrance of the Yun family.
Yun Chou was sitting on the carriage in front of him, and the carriage in the back was filled with ice that had just been pulled out of the warehouse.
Lin's heart ached when she saw it, "How do you spend money indiscriminately this child, a carriage of ice how much silver does this cost."
Although the Yun family was in a high position of power, they weren't a rich extended family, spending several thousand taels of silver on ice was really a bit extravagant for Lin.
"That Chen Ji ice store on the street, I own it." Yun Chu straightened, "Mother wants to use ice to directly have someone fetch it."
Lin was shocked, "The southern merchant who hoarded ice on a large scale in March and April was you?"
"It's just a matter for Mother to know herself." Yunchu changed the topic and said, "Last time the Xie family and Marquis Xuanwu had a disagreement, which resulted in Ange's opportunity to study at the State Scholarship being lost, if big brother doesn't intend to send Jiangge to the State Scholarship, why don't we give this opportunity to Ange?"
Jiang'er is the eldest son of Yun Chu's elder brother Yun Ze, Yun Zhen Jiang, who is five years old this year, and like Xie Shi An, he is studying at the Huai De Academy set up by the academic government in the capital.
Lin casually said, "Your elder brother didn't go to the Imperial College that year, so naturally Jiang Ge'er won't go either, and since it's empty anyway, let An Ge'er go."
Yun Chu knew that no one in the Yun family would object, even his sister-in-law, Liu Qian Qian, who knew that the Yun family could not be admitted to the State Scholarship Academy, was eager to give up the spot.
Last time Xie Shiyun got this cheap.
In this life, would she let Xie Shi'an have his way?
The smile on Yun Chou's lips was a little deeper.
Lin smiled and talked about something else, "Sister La's marriage is finalized."
Yunchu was surprised, "So fast?"
"Sister La is already seventeen, how can there be any further delay." Lin spoke up, "The Dai family's child is also nineteen, and other families have such big brothers and children, so their Dai family is also anxious, and we are also anxious, so they set the wedding in the fall, which gives us just enough time to prepare for the dowry."
Yun Chou nodded her head and discussed with Lin about her concubine sister's dowry.
After discussing almost everything, Lin lowered her voice and said, "Tomorrow you will accompany me into the palace to see Consort Yun."
Yunchu heard the unusual flavor: "Is something wrong with auntie?"
Lin shook her head, "Wasn't the Crown Prince sick a few days ago?"
Yun Chu knew about the Prince's illness, or yesterday when she went to Yin's house, Yu Ge'er told her.
Originally, King Ping Xi was to go to Jizhou to fight the bandits, but because the Crown Prince was seriously ill, the Emperor asked King Ping Xi to stay in the Imperial City.
Originally still do not understand why the crown prince is sick to Pingxi Wang left, now look at Lin's gloomy look, Yunchu understand a little bit, the crown prince is afraid of this illness is artificial ...
"The fourth prince went to a trip to the East Palace, the crown prince began to vomit and diarrhea, the eunuch detected is the fourth prince sent to the East Palace of the food has a problem." Lin's voice is very low, "the emperor was furious, punished the fourth prince to go outside the city Qing'an Temple for the prince to pray for blessings to go ... Now the various palaces of the prince are big, some born should not have the heart, the palace in the past few years for fear that it will not be peaceful, your grandfather asked me to go to the palace to exhort the cloud consort, so that she stays close to the eighth prince, don't get involved with these things."
Yunchu remembered, last life there is also this matter, the fourth prince was punished to go to the Qingan Temple to pray for blessings, the crown prince is well, the fourth prince was released back, and then the crown prince to re-check the matter of poisoning, it turned out to be another person for it, the fourth prince was cleared of suspicion, the emperor knows that the wrong person, but also gave a lot of things to make up for, that period of time is probably the most happy and comfortable time of the fourth prince.
It hadn't been six months since the getaway, and then something happened.
Yun Chu stayed at the Yun Family to accompany Old General Yun for a dinner before taking the carriage back to the Xie Family.
The boy beside Xie Jingyu was waiting at the gate, seeing her return, he busily said, "Madam you're finally back, His Excellency has been waiting for you."
Yunchu asked in a faint voice, "Where is the Grand Man?"
"At An Shou Hall." The boy respectfully said, "Is madam going over there right now, or should I ask my lord to go to the Sheng Residence."
Yunchu went straight to Anshou Hall.
This will be the Xie family are here waiting for news, the aunts are also there, the house is hot and lively.
"Chu'er, sit down." The old lady is all smiles, "What did Mrs. Yun and your big brother say about An Ge'er?"
Yunchu took a sip of tea before speaking without haste, "My elder brother felt that he was not enrolled in the State Scholarship Academy to study, so he only took the third grade of the examination, and has always been very remorseful, and intends to wait until Jiang's brother is eight years old, then he will send Jiang's brother to enter the State Scholarship Academy."
The smile on the old woman's face slowly faded.
She was the one who had placed too high expectations on this granddaughter-in-law, and as great as her hopes were, now her disappointment was greater.
Xie Jingyu frowned slightly.
With his understanding of old General Yun, he would never allow the Yun family to have the opportunity to have too much contact with the palace royalty, so how could he possibly send Yun Zhenjiang into the State Prison.
Can it be that Consort Yun intends to borrow the Yun family's power to seize the throne for the Eighth Prince?
Thinking about this, Xie Jingyu broke out in a cold sweat.
Although he adheres to the cloud family, but do not want to stand with the cloud family with the eighth prince, because the eighth prince is too young, to seize the throne is really too difficult too difficult ...
"However, I advised my elder brother, Jiangge'er is only five years old, and I don't know whether he is good at reading or loves to practice martial arts, isn't it a waste to take up this opportunity now?" Yun Chu looks at Xie Shi An with a face full of gratification, "Brother An's book is well versed in the two You's and Wei Zhi San Jie, he is a truly talented person, the State Scholarship should have a place for Brother An."
Xie Shian's face showed ecstasy, which was then suppressed by him, his voice had an unconcealable excitement, "Many thanks, mother."
Having lost that opportunity, he realized how rare such a chance was.
He also never expected that between Jiang Ge'er and him, his mother would choose him.
Then he would never fail his mother in this.
"Chu'er, you are truly a blessing to our Xie family." Yuan's face is filled with emotion, "If it wasn't for you, Ange'er's life would have been ruined."
The old lady opened her mouth, "Chu'er, in the future, Ange'er will definitely be filial to you and will also feed the Yun family ..."
Yunchu and the old lady casually pulled a couple of lines before excusing themselves and leaving Anshou Hall.
Xie Jingyu followed her out, "Ma'am."
Yunchu's steps stopped, "Is there anything else Husband?"
"When I went out on the street today, I saw a hairpin that is very suitable for madam." Xie Jingyu took out a butterfly jade hairpin from his sleeve, "I'll put it on for madam."
Yunchu swept a glance.
This hairpin is at most ten taels of silver, coaxing the little girl is more or less the same, she is twenty years old, long past the age of being impressed by some small favors.
Her voice was faint, "This hairpin is indeed good, I'll take it to Sister Ping'er when I turn around, it's appropriate for her to wear."
Xie Jingyu's expression stiffened a bit.
It was the first time in five years of marriage that he had bought jewelry for her, and she was about to take it to someone else with just one look.
A heart he held out as if she had thrown it on the ground.
"If there's nothing else, husband, I'll leave first."
Yun Chou turned around blandly, her back quickly disappeared in front of An Shou Tang.
Xie Jingyu pinched the hairpin in death, her chest rising and falling violently.
"My lord."
A delicate voice came from him, and immediately afterward, his hand was gripped and the hairpin in his hand was jerked out.
He glanced sideways and saw Hearing Rain standing beside him.
