Yuzhu's depression did not feel dissipated until the army left the city.

Wan thanked Mrs. Yao for invitation to enter the mansion for dinner. Yuzhu was about to rush back to the shop. Just as she was about to get on the carriage, someone shouted behind her: "Miss Liu, please stay!"

Yuzhu looked back and found that it was Young Master Bai who walked towards him. Then he turned around and bowed.

Bai Shao was wearing a long broadband suit, with a handsome face and a gentle smile. With the freehand and free style unique to the noble men in the capital, he smiled and reached out to ask Yuzhu to his carriage to talk.

When Yuzhu moved over, she found that Mrs. Bai was still sitting upright on the carriage.

Although Mrs. Bai met this young lady when she was in Yao's mansion last time, she was just focused on discussing the construction of a new temple with Mrs. Yao, and did not pay close attention to the female jade craftsman of the Yao family.

But now it’s different. The Yao family Erlang was actually fascinated and wanted to marry this low-ranking female jade craftsman! When the news came, she really didn’t believe a word!

But just now on the platform, she saw the female jade craftsman on the platform and put a token on the Taiwei, and she couldn't help but disbelieve it. She was sighing for her daughter, and it would be nice to say if she lost to another aristocratic girl, but the Yelang of the Yao family, who was above the top, chose such a person, which was really surprising to choose such a person! No wonder her daughter cried every day, her eyes were red and swollen, and she didn't come to send the army this time...

However, although she was disdainful of the woman who took away her son-in-law, Mrs. Bai could not show her face. Many eyes around her were waiting to see the Bai family joke after hearing that Young Master Yao had abandoned the Bai family's girl. This time, the daughter did not come, and the rumors were vaguely confirmed. So she had to do it deliberately. The closer this female jade craftsman was, the more she could reflect the Bai family's indifferentness, and then hit the mouth of those who were waiting to see the joke.

So Mrs. Bai swallowed the contempt in her heart and asked Yuzhu with a kind look on whether she could customize a set of jade-headed faces.

To be honest, Yuzhu couldn't figure out the orders he had accumulated for two months, and Mrs. Bai was anxious and it was really hard to get a clone for a while, but if she spoke out, wouldn't she offend this big family in the capital?

While in a dilemma, Bai Shao spoke at the right time: "Mother, Miss Six has undertaken the supply of the royal jadeware this time. He is one of the royal merchants. I am afraid that everything will be based on the supply of the royal family. If you have to be so anxious, Miss Six is ​​powerless. It is better to make some more peace of mind at this time... It is another matter. Please ask your mother to discuss it with Miss Six."

Mrs. Bai smiled and said, "You are still considerate. You are not in a hurry, but there is one thing that cannot be delayed. I and several wives have undertaken the renovation of Yunci Temple, but the matter of the Jade Buddha has not been finalized. A few days ago, I went to see the Empress Dowager. When she heard that it was such a good deed, she gave the rare piece of jade, which was not finalized by whom she should carve. However, there are also two jade masters in the capital, you and Hu Wanchong, who are equally matched. This jade statue is very big. I thought that if you can ask you two to join hands, this merit will be fulfilled. Master Hu Yu has already agreed. I wonder what Miss Six means?"

Yuzhu pondered for a moment and said, "Just Master Bai said, I have accumulated a lot of jade lists. Now I can't calculate the time. I really dare not accept my wife. I have delayed such merits. When I go back and calculate the time it takes to calculate the list, how about replying to Mrs. Bai?"

After hearing this, Mrs. Bai did not insist on making a move. She just smiled and hoped that Miss Six could accept this famous good job.

When Yuzhu said goodbye and was about to turn back to her carriage, Bai Shao followed him and smiled and reminded Miss Liu to go to the Ministry of Revenue the day after tomorrow to check the amount of silver that will be provided this year. Each royal merchant has a different amount of internal supply. If he can grab a large share, he will naturally make a fortune. Otherwise, there will be many royal merchants who have gone bankrupt after losing money and spending money.

Now, Mr. Bai is in charge of the two departments of the Ministry of Workers and Households in the court. He asked him, a top-ranking official in the court to remind a small imperial merchant of the account. He was too condescending. Yuzhu was a little frightened and quickly agreed.

Although the store has received a lot of orders, it has hired many jade craftsmen with exquisite skills, and the cutting of large materials and processing of rough blanks, so there is no need for jade beads to do it yourself. Just check the pattern of the jade material and tell the jade craftsmen how to deal with it. However, the fine carving in the end requires jade beads to be made.

The day after sending the troops, Yuzhu took the time to enter the palace to meet her second sister.

Concubine Xiao was serving bed last night and got up a little later in the morning. When Yuzhu asked for a visit, she made a place for breakfast and lunch, drinking rice porridge.

Because she saw her sister, Concubine Xiao became lazy for a while and did not change her clothes. She just asked Yuzhu to come in and eat some with her.

When Yuzhu saw the clear porridge and side dishes on the table, she couldn't help but frown and said, "How can you eat it? Second sister, you have good health. It's time to nourish yourself!"

Concubine Xiao picked up the bowl and swallowed it and said, "I don't have any appetite. If I weren't afraid that my body wouldn't be able to swallow this bowl of porridge..."

She was wearing a casual shirt, with a slightly loose collar. Yuzhu could see the faint red marks in the collar if she raised her eyes a little... She had now been combed by the Grand Marshal and understood the matter in the boudoir, so she naturally understood what the red marks mean.

Because Concubine Xiao wanted to speak with Liu Mei, she sent all the maids out of the room, so Yuzhu asked in a low voice: "But the emperor made his sister too tired last night?"

Concubine Xiao pursed her lips and smiled bitterly, and pointed Yuzhu with her fingers and said, "I'm really a married man. I dare to say anything. How can you be tired?"

Yuzhu felt that if she had talked carefully about the details of the tired bed, her bowl of porridge would be so bitter that it would be difficult to swallow. However, the emperor was very cold to his sister that day, far from the favored concubine Bai. She really couldn't imagine how enthusiastic the emperor would be towards her second sister.

At this moment, Concubine Xiao sighed lightly and expressed her depression. It turned out that the last time she had a baby, General Wen happened to be in the capital. At that time, the palace held a banquet to entertain these frontier officials.

At that time, she and several concubines all went to a banquet with the emperor.

As a result, just as she got up and went to the Jingfang Xiaojie, she was just in the corridor where Wen Jicai was drinking very hard. He actually pulled his hand and called out his name when he was in the Xiao Mansion.

Concubine Xiao was shocked by General Wen's loss of etiquette and quickly pulled her hands to avoid it. However, at this moment, she was caught by Concubine Bai and two talented people in the palace. Although Concubine Bai had never said much, the two talented people passed the matter to the emperor's ears.

The war is imminent, and Wen Ji is the loyal minister in the court. The emperor has always put the overall situation first, so how could this disagreement between the king and the minister be spread? He immediately found the two talented people with great tongues and killed them by sticking them with his head. The remaining palace ladies who knew about this were naturally so scared that they shut up and didn't even dare to mention it.

Concubine Xiao was already in a state of unstable fetal position. After being frightened, she saw Hong fall into a fetal position that night without waiting for the emperor to punish him. Therefore, after the Xiao family entered the capital, she continued to delay seeing her. It was really hard to bear the health and almost returned to the west.

After that, although the emperor did not punish her for this matter, his attitude became obviously cold. Now that he can be favored once a month, he must be grateful to the emperor for not forgetting his old favor.

Yuzhu frowned when she heard this, and she felt that the word "Wen Jicai's name should be called "Free Sheng". She is really as lustful as the sky, and she will die sooner or later on the word "Se".

"It's not my sister's fault. Why is it so difficult for the emperor to let go of it?"

Concubine Xiao's beautiful eyes slightly restrained, and she lost the halo indifferently, and said softly: "For some reason, I didn't see Hong at the first night... Although the emperor comforted me at that time, not every woman would fall red. He believed that I was innocent, but General Wen was so disobedient, he asked the emperor to ask about the past between me and General Wen... The emperor probably was suspicious..."

Yuzhu understood this very well. When the Taiwei suspected that she was a slander, although she did not speak sarcastic words, she often saw despised words. However, when she saw that red, she looked ecstatic and looked like she had picked up treasures. It can be seen that the man was vulgar and valued the dirty blood very much.

Now the emperor is suspicious that his sister is not innocent. That is really a fatal suspicion. How can my sister survive in the palace?

Concubine Xiao said something that was stuffy in her heart for a long time, and she felt more relieved. So she turned to ask, "Don't talk about my troubles, let's talk about you, why did the Grand Marshal have already decided to marry and delay the marriage?"

Speaking of this, Concubine Xiao was really happy for Sister Yuzhu. She thought that the Taiwei was just a romantic and playing with the Sixth Sister, but now that the marriage news has been heard, it can be seen that Taiwei Yao is still a little sincere, not deliberately playing with it. If so, she would be relieved. However, the Taiwei and the emperor are all romantic figures. I wonder if my sister's life in Yao's house will be as difficult as she is in the palace in the future...

Yuzhu didn't want to worry about her sister anymore, so she just said lightly that the Taiwei thought the marriage was too rush, so she delayed it until after the war ended.

But what she wanted to ask her sister was another matter, that was the details of the jade Buddha.

Although she was silent on the side of Yao's mansion, she saw Mrs. Yao's intention to reject her. So yesterday when Mrs. Bai handed her this seemingly honorable errand, she deliberately refused to postpone her for a while and asked for it clearly before she could talk.

Just as my father said back then, dealing with these kings and princes is a job that will lose your head at any time. You must always see the powerful relationships clearly before making a decision.
