44. Chapter 44

After hearing this, Lord Fan was stunned. After thinking for a while, he said to the coachman: "Go to the inn in the west of the city."

Along the way here, Lord Fan's mind was running quickly, thinking carefully about the relationship between Yuzhu and the Taiwei. Why did the Taiwei go back on his word and speak so sarcastically for a young woman?

When he arrived at the inn, he saw Yuzhu bringing Jue'er and Chang Man downstairs with packages. It turned out that after coming out of the restaurant, Yuzhuwan refused the kindness of the guards to give him away, and said that he would take the exam in the capital and would be exempted from the errands of several guards. In addition, Taiwei Yao was angry at the time and had the courage to ask about it. He also said bluntly that he did not have to follow the young woman anymore, so he dispersed.

Yuzhu left the guards and returned to the inn. Although this inn is convenient, the daily fee is also quite expensive. Yuzhu thought about it and felt that it would be better to go to the suburbs of Beijing to find a farmhouse to live in.

During this period of time in the capital, I got nothing. Although I was close to Fan Qingyun, I had no idea about the hidden feelings back then, and it was no longer possible to overturn the verdict for my father. This competition also made Yuzhu know that Fan Qingyun's former craftsman had already reached the top, and had the ability to reverse right and wrong and be nepotist.

If it were Yuzhu, the feeling of frustration in his heart would be very strong.

It seems that he is still quite afraid of himself and will never let himself enter the finals and become a threat to him. Since this is the case, we have to make a long-term plan...

After she asked Jue'er to check out and check out, she packed her package and prepared to go to the suburbs of Beijing to find a suitable farmhouse and stay for a while. However, when she was going downstairs, she saw Fan Qingyun standing at the entrance of the inn.

Fan Qingyun said quietly: "It's getting dark, Yuzhu, where are you going?"

Yuzhu did not expect that Lord Fan would find the inn and politely said, "Since the preliminary competition is over, I thought I could not advance, so Yuzhu planned to leave the inn. I wonder why Lord Fan came here to condescend to the point of coming here?"

Fan Qingyun smiled slightly after hearing this, and sighed: "The most important thing in carving jade is to be calm and not impatient. Why is jade beads so hard to keep calm? Since the results of the event have not been announced, how can you know that you will lose your reputation?"

When Yuzhu heard this, she raised her eyebrows in surprise and looked at Lord Fan, not understanding why he said this to him.

Fan Qingyun said again: "I blame you today and I really hope you can go further. In this competition, there are many famous masters and craftsmen from all over the world. Although you are not well-known, your craftsmanship is outstanding. What is particularly rare is that you are quite ingenious and have the carvings to show the achievements of creation. Lord Liu and I both appreciate it in private. But I think we need to teach you a lesson to let you know the importance of the word "humility". I am here to let you not be disturbed by daytime conversations, and do not lose your ambitions and rest well."

After such earnest advice, seeing Yuzhu thanking him with a sincere face, Fan Qingyun smiled and took the silver note to Yuzhu, telling her not to be reluctant to eat and drink. Yuzhu refused and accepted his silver note. Fan Qingyun was very satisfied. Since the little woman accepted it, he was relieved. It would be difficult for a proud person to buy it. It seems that Yuan Yuzhu is much better than her father. So he gave some advice in the tone of an elder, and then made a promise to see her again and turned around and left.

Jue'er didn't know what was going on, and only thought that Mr. Fan was so easy-going, and was really a rare good person. He said, "I thought he and Mr. Liu sang together during the day and said all the bad things about you, Miss Six, but I didn't expect to come here to tell the lady in person that there is still hope of promotion, and he is really a generous person. But I don't know what your relationship is with Mr. Fan, so that he can take care of you like this?"

Yuzhu didn't say anything, thought for a while, and sighed slightly, "I'm afraid there is someone else who is tolerant and generous?"

Just now, when Lord Fan approached and spoke, Yuzhu smelled a special sandalwood on Lord Fan's body. Although it was light, it was a long and savored. It was the sandalwood unique to Lord Taiwei. I remember that when Lord Yao passed by, the incense was given to him by the Southern Fan and the emperor rewarded him. I think that Lord Fan had just come out of Yao's mansion, and couldn't wait to come to her to sell a ready-made favor.

After hearing the sixth girl's words, Jue'er was even more confused, but Yuzhu didn't want to explain, so she turned around and went to the inn counter and renewed the money. Changman had to carry the luggage in the carriage one by one.

After entering the room, Jue'er asked, "Miss Six, it's great, but the lord gave us so many silver notes, so you won't have to worry about eating and drinking anymore!"

But Yuzhu reached out to tear the silver notes into pieces, which made Jue'er stunned.

Yuzhu explained in a relaxed tone at this time: "Only by spending your own money to eat and wear, you will feel at ease. You should not expect meat pies to fall from the sky." So she gently took off the jade bracelet on her wrist, handed it to Jue'er, and said calmly: "This pair of jade bracelets is made of the best jade in our town, and the carvings are also first-class, and the price is high. You can pawn this pair of jade bracelets tomorrow."

Jue'er was stunned and said, "Miss Six, such a good jade bracelet is the dowry specially rewarded by your grandmother when you bid. Wouldn't it be a pity if it was pawned?"

Yuzhu said: "It's just something outside of your body. Besides, you can buy it back in the future."

On the second day, Yuzhu took Jue'er and Chang Man and went to the city gate to watch the event notice. Among the string of names, she found her name. After entering the final this time, she could wait for the final half a month later.

Yuzhu breathed a long sigh of relief. As she turned around, she heard someone calling "Ms. Yuan" behind her.

Yuzhu looked back and found that it was King Guangjun standing behind her, and beside him was the Bai family’s son.

The two noble men stood in this bustling street market, which always made people feel out of place. Yuzhu bowed to the two, "I don't know why the two young men got here?"

Although Yuzhu wore a gauze hat, King Guangjun still recognized it at a glance. Now seeing that he was indeed extremely sensible, he couldn't help but feel satisfied.

He wrote a letter to Yao Er yesterday and asked if he would bring Yuzhu to the tea banquet he hosted.

But Yao Er didn't know what he was busy with, so he didn't reply. King Guangjun couldn't help it anymore, so he came here to see if he could meet Yuzhu. But he happened to meet Mr. Bai's carriage halfway through and came with him with him. He didn't have hope at all. Unexpectedly, Yuzhu's name was on the list, and he really met her to come to see the list. He suddenly felt a sense of surprise when he met Mingzhu in the vast crowd.

He immediately invited Yuzhu to the teahouse beside him to rest and talk.

Yuzhu knew that this prince was not a arrogant person, and she was filled with a sense of boldness that was very different from the nobles in the court. She didn't hate it very much. It was difficult to refuse at the moment, so she followed them to the teahouse.

The decent teahouses in the capital all have special private rooms for the patronage of the kings and princes. When the three of them sat down, King Guangjun couldn't wait to speak: "Mr. Weng talked with me for a long time yesterday, and he always sighed that Miss Yuan is really the pearl of the world. If the match is not going well, he is willing to recommend it to the palace and always let your skills shine in the world."

Yuzhu was naturally very grateful when she heard this. She only thanked Queen Guangjun, and heard him mention the details of the next tea banquet with great enthusiasm, and even invited Yuzhu to attend.

"Then Yao Er didn't know what he was busy with, and he didn't reply to a letter to him? Does Miss know what happened to him?"

King Guangjun suddenly asked, and Yuzhu felt a little embarrassed. He lowered his eyebrows and said, "Taiwei Yao is in the high mansion. I really don't know the details of Taiwei's daily life. Please forgive me."

King Guangjun is used to speaking honestly. He only thinks that the Grand Marshal is in good terms with this woman. He is naturally stuck together recently, so he has such a sudden question.

Anyway, if he was Yao Muye, he would not want to separate for a moment if he had a beautiful woman who was both inside and outside. However, after hearing Yuzhu's slightly cold answer, he would not be surprised when he remembered Yao Er's usual urination. No matter how beautiful the beautiful woman came to him, she would be fresh for more than a month. I have never seen anyone with whom he had been in love with.

I still remember that yesterday's competition was halfway through, and before the excitement was enough, the Taiwei left in distracting meaning. It can be seen that he had also left with all his affection for Miss Yuan and other beauties.

Thinking of this, King Guangjun was very happy. He felt that Yao Er let go was a blessing for the beauty. People like him who were wasting natural resources did not understand the true meaning of cherishing flowers. If Miss Yuan got along with him, she would have suffered a lot of grievances.

However, compared to King Guangjun's eloquence, Bai Shao sat down and said little, just drinking tea silently, occasionally looking at Yuzhu peacefully.

After drinking a few cups of tea, Yuzhu stood up and said goodbye. King Guangjun always cared for the fragrance and sympathized with Yuzhu. Seeing that the guards who were no longer following the Grand Marshal behind him immediately spoke up. Yuzhu pushed him but said goodbye to Prince Bai and got on the carriage.

When getting off the carriage, King Guangjun diligently sent Yuzhu to the inn gate, and repeatedly told Miss Yuzhu not to forget the tea banquet three days later. Mr. Weng would also attend at that time. Please don’t let the lady break the appointment.

Yuzhu entered the inn, and the shop's staff immediately came over and handed Yuzhu a fragrant letter.

When Yuzhu opened it, she found that it was Miss Yao's letter. The letter praised Yuzhu's heroic harvest in the competition, and expressed her appreciation for the jade product. She invited Yuzhu to enter the mansion and wanted to ask her to complete the jade carving.

Yesterday, he had a bad time with the Grand Master. Judging from the situation, he wanted to break up with him and no longer have any connection. Although he seemed to have solved the qualification problem for himself to enter the competition, he did not send anyone to find him. Now that he received the invitation from Miss Bai, Yuzhu was in trouble for a while and was not sure whether his visit would hinder the Grand Master's honor.

Hesitated for a while, then wrote a letter to Miss Yao. After thanking her for her praise, she said bluntly that she was unwell and should not go out. She also asked Miss Yao to send the jade carving and she would complete the jade carving as soon as possible.

Miss Yao is not like her brother, and she always makes things difficult for her. When Yuzhu refuses, she doesn't want to force her. She just ordered the servant to send the rough carving to Yuzhu.

The jade beads were cleared out in the past two days, and they grind the jade carving bit by bit. The value of portraits is fine, just like fine brushwork, every hair must be carved in place. However, this is extremely eye-consuming. After a day of carving, the eyes are very sour. After three days of carving, the head of a person was only carved out roughly.

Three days later, King Guangjun's tea party did not arrive as scheduled. Recently, maybe because of the busy affairs in the court, King Guangjun, who was used to being idle, also took the emperor's mission to inspect the river channel dredging situation in the neighboring counties of the capital, and it will take five days to come back.

King Guangjun was upset and could not disobey the emperor's order, so he could only write a letter in person to express his apology to Miss Yuzhu for breaking the appointment, and said that he would make up for it when he came back.

Yu Zhuyuan didn't like to attend such parties, so she breathed a sigh of relief and no longer had to bite the bullet and endure Mr. Weng's praise.

But there was a small carriage at the entrance of the inn on that day, which was sent by Yao's mansion to pick up Yuzhu.

The servant said that Miss Yao Er originally hoped that this jade product could carve the style of her deceased father, and asked the lady to bring the jade product to the door and discuss it with his lady, so as not to make the jade product not suit their wishes.

Yuzhu naturally couldn't retreat after hearing this. She had been carving in the inn behind closed doors these days, but she was so lazy that she was unkempt. So after asking the servants of Yao Mansion to wait a moment, he hurriedly fetched a basin of warm water, scrubbed with Jue'er's help, rubbed her hair, and sucked the water from her hair with a coarse cloth towel. Without waiting for her hair to dry, she simply tied a bun on the top of her head, fixed it with a wooden hairpin, and changed her clothes and went downstairs.

In the past few days, Yuzhu chose some of her jewelry sales. When she went out for a while, she looked a little simple, and half of the jewelry outfit was not decorated. Jue'er felt uncomfortable. Fortunately, her lady was born with beauty, and her rosy face just after washing it made people unable to take their eyes off. Otherwise, wouldn't she be so innocent, wouldn't she be laughed at to death?

After Yuzhu got on the carriage, she closed her eyes and rested. She heard the sound of the carriage rumbling, and soon she turned into the alley.

When Yuzhu got off the carriage, she was indeed stunned. The carriage was parked at the side door of Yao's mansion. If she remembered correctly, it should be the private door of Yao Taiwei's house!

Yuzhu took a deep breath and it was not easy to get through the door. She only lifted up her skirt and entered the private door with the maid who led the way. Jue'er was blocked outside the courtyard door as usual.

When Yuzhuqi walked into the courtyard of the Taiwei, she found that the flowers and plants here were very different from before. It seemed that they had just been transplanted, and the flowers and plants were still a little unnaturally sparse... After entering the bedroom, she found that the Taiwei was not in the room.

After the maid Ju Li left, Yuzhu had to sit in the room and wait patiently. Although there were many books in the room, Yuzhu was not good at circulating around when the owner was not there. But waiting so boringly was inevitable. Yuzhu sat at the table and couldn't help but lie on the table slowly, reminding herself to take a moment of rest. Soon, the fatigue and sleepiness of the past few days surged, and she fell asleep deeply.

Half an hour later, when Taiwei Yao stepped into the room, he saw this situation. The beauty was like a water lily, and the fragrant cheeks half lying on his arms were filled with a seductive blush...

He is really a ignorant person. He can sleep so stupidly in the man's room...

The Taiwei thought so coldly in his heart, and reached out and tapped the table with his slender fingers a few times.

Yuzhu suddenly woke up, sat up straight, looked up at the Taiwei with a little calmer, and then he greeted him with a slight steadfast.

Yao Muye lowered his eyes halfway and said coldly: "I thought the lady should have the virtue of saying it, but today I realized that I was thinking too much. I wonder why the lady didn't take the initiative to fulfill her promise after she was able to successfully play the game. She came from the pillow seat before?"

Yuzhu didn't expect that after being alienated from her for many days, the Taiwei was so straightforward. She was a little stunned for a moment and didn't know how to answer.
