But now, what makes Yuzhu distract and worry is definitely not a matter of money.

The Taiwei, who didn't speak much along the way, made people wonder how to shirk responsibility.

That morning, while she was sleeping hazy, the Taiwei swayed all morning, as if the two had never quarreled.

He never mentioned the past when he regretted his marriage, nor was he allowed to go to the northwest by himself.

When she expressed her displeasure, he just said coldly: "Which one of your grandmother, parents, and brothers is reliable? Go alone, can the meat on your body be enough to feed?" Yuzhu asked, and pursed her cherry lips.

Perhaps seeing Yuzhu's helplessness, he paused and said, "When the war is not busy, I will accompany you back. The jade grows in the deep mountains and will not run away by itself!"

"But..." Yuzhu hesitated for a moment and said softly, "I really don't want to owe too much to the Grand Marshal... The Yao family is harmonious and the wife is charitable, but I am indeed not very suitable to be a noble lady in a noble family. I just want to be a rural woman, so I am more at ease..."

If it were before, the Taiwei would have thought that this young woman was also inferior, for fear that she would not be worthy of her.

But now he really heard that she just didn't want to marry her.

A rural woman? Is she going to reunite with that ill man in Wang Jingtang? She thought so beautifully!

The scene in the bamboo forest flashed through Yao Muye's mind many times. The Taiwei no longer felt as embarrassed as the first time. However, after hearing her refusal, the coldness in her body did not diminish at all. As if she had not heard her words, she made a fuss and called her subordinates to prepare for a horse to set off.

Although the person walked like a gust of wind, he left five guards to protect the safety of the courtyard, and also wanted to monitor Yuzhu without leaving at will.

The prosperous expedition in the past became depressed due to the war, but it was a good thing for Yuzhu. He was as quiet as if he was in a paradise. He asked Jue'er and two old servants to clean up the courtyard. He could relax his fatigue for a day. After the Taiwei settled her into the courtyard, he disappeared. I think he is now the commander of the three armies and handles countless military affairs every day. I am afraid that he has a rare time to have free time. In this way, he is still free.

But after being lazy, I have to work hard to do serious things. The jade she carved at hand is a bit tricky. The owner of the list is the wife of the Shi family. She has set a set of jade inlaid head. Jade is the "king of jade", a drop of water, with a correct color and pure texture, without any modification, which is enough for those wives to lose their eyes. However, it is very challenging for jade beads. It was just because in the past, she mainly carved jade, but jade was inlaid inlaid

Although he had been involved in the skills before, he was not really good at Yuzhu. Now Mrs. Shi clearly stated that the base of this head should be inlaid with gold, but the base molten by the goldsmith invited in the store made Mrs. Shi unsatisfied. The jade fell off the base in front of the single owner, and naturally it was returned directly. It was clear that if the lady could not be satisfied with her, the money spent would be compensated by Yuzhu's store.

The goldsmith also wanted to be shameless. Seeing that what he made was not favored by the customers, he actually quit his job. Ren Yuzhu repeatedly tried to keep it, and the jadesmith was determined to leave.

Even the shopkeeper said with a frown: "Why don't you change the signboard directly! Remove the 'hunching gold' of uncensored jade and keep only the jade carving, so it's easier to make some."

But Yuzhu knew that she wanted to compete with the shop supported by Fan Qingyun, so she could only expand the store's operations, and the jade inlay could not be inlaid!

So the rest of the work could only fall on Yuzhu. Yuzhu was a wife of the Wang family for two years, and she was very familiar with the inlay of jewelry. Just looking at the water, she knew that the jade sent by the Shi family was the best among jade. However, the yang green eyes looked a little lighter, which was not suitable for Madam Shi's older women, and she needed to match it carefully. The gold base that the gold smith had given to the jade was dim and even if it didn't fall off, it would not seem rich and grand enough. But if gold was not used as the base, Yuzhu couldn't think of anything else for a moment, so she decided to go out and take a look, collect some gold and think about it before thinking about it.

Yuzhu and Jue'er left the house and arrived in the city. They saw a jewelry shop from afar. When they walked closer, they found that it was the Wang family's shop, but it was a semicolon set up by the Wang family here. At this time, the door panel was already halfway up. It turned out that the owner had come to clear the accounts recently, so the door was closed in the past few days.

Yuzhu hurried over and wanted to buy more gold while the store was not closed yet, but she never thought that she had met an "old friend".

Just as Yuzhu and Jue'er walked outside the store, a man in his twenties walked out of the store. The man was wearing a long scholar's gown and a gauze hat. He looked quite gentle, but his eyes were wandering around and there was a sense of evil spirit. It was Yuzhu's brother-in-law Wang Yunting in the Wang family.

Wang Yunting stepped out of the shop and looked up and saw the jade beads coming towards him. He was fixed on his eyes.

Since she was stabbed by a cone, she has never seen this woman again. But after hearing that she was retired by the Wang family, she returned to the Xiao family and had an accident in the capital. She was abandoned by the Xiao family and left alone in the capital.

What will happen if an abandoned woman is alone? Wang Yunting thinks that he can relieve his hatred, but it is just a duckweed that is helpless and depressed! It is better to follow him and interpret a story about his sister-in-law and uncle, and to kiss the droughty nectar and the milk blend together to make it feel comfortable and happy!

But who would have thought that he would meet this woman again in Beicheng. Her beauty has not diminished at all, and it seems to have added a bit of bright color. She is slender and charming, and she is dressed in a village woman, which makes people feel that the pearls are covered with dust.

When Wang Yunting thought of the little woman's life in a difficult situation, he showed a smug smile on his face, leaned over and clasped his fists and said, "Sister-in-law, Yunting is polite."

Yuzhu had no expression on her face, but Jue'er behind her was so disgusting that she wanted to vomit her uncle. It really felt like she bumped into a big fly as soon as she went out.

But Wang Yunting said unconsciously: "I don't know what the price is there for my sister-in-law to come here? Did you look for me specifically?"

Yuzhu didn't say anything, but just stepped back and prepared to leave. But Wang Yunting quickly blocked her way: "It's all old friends, why don't you say anything? Although you have some misunderstandings, it's not impossible to solve. If you have difficulties, I will help you..."

Yuzhu smiled slightly, reached out and touched the wooden hairpin on his head, which made Wang Yunting's eyes twitch, and the root of his thigh, which had already healed, was vaguely ached again.

"It's just here to buy gold. Since your store is about to close, I won't disturb you more. Please let the prince go away." Yuzhu said softly without any hesitation.

Wang Yunting knew that this little lady seemed delicate, but she was really cruel and was poisonous! So she took a few steps back, but the pretty lady stood in front of her, making her leave for nothing and feel unwilling to accept it. She always had to involve some stories to win her favor.

So he forced a smile and said, "If others definitely don't sell it, how can the little sister-in-law not give face when she comes? I wonder what the little lady wants for gold?"

Yuzhu said simply: "Inlay."

Wang Yunting is idle on weekdays, and the serious servants at home are usually not allowed to be sent to him, so the parents will not discuss anything big with him. In addition, the ugly incident he made at the beginning, no one will mention Yuzhu's recent situation to him. Therefore, he really didn't know that Yuzhu had become an imperial merchant, so he only saw her shabby. When she heard that she wanted to buy gold inlays, she just thought she was just a slap in the face and pretended to be generous.

So the prince decided not to expose the beauty's trick, but wanted to "repay hatred and gratitude". This heart-hearted little lady was really moved and immediately said loudly to the friend behind her: "Go and take out the one or two hard gold I brought!"

The guy left, and in a short while, he brought a small box, opened the lid, and there was gold that melted into ingots.

When Wang Yunting shouted the "hard gold", Yuzhu's thoughts moved slightly. When he saw the gold, he reached out and pressed it hard with his fingertips.

Although gold is brilliant, its texture is soft, so using it to inlay will often cause unexpected gems to fall. It requires the wearer's care. However, the Shi Lady named it "nail inlay".

As the name suggests, this nail inlay is to use tools to shovel out a few small nail heads in a circle of the metal inlay of the jewelry base, and then press the small nail to jamm the gemstone. This inlay is natural and looks small and unique, but because the nail head is very small, it is only suitable for inlaid with smaller jade gemstones. If it is inlaid with large ones, it will naturally fall off.

But the jadeite sent by Mrs. Shi was very big, the base of the gold was soft, and the nails were invisible. No wonder the old goldsmith said that this job could not be done and quit his job angrily...

But the gold that Wang Yunting showed her was very special. Other Jinpu also has a harder gold, but it is often mixed with other metals such as copper. The color of the gold is dim and cannot be placed on the table. However, the piece in her hand has a hard texture and a bright yellow color, which is the best thing to inlaid with jewelry!

This Wang family is an imperial merchant who was comparable to the Xiao family at that time. He has made great achievements in gold forging. It is because of the many secrets that it has not been passed down that it can stand firm in the changes of generations of imperial merchants.

"Sister-in-law, this hard gold cannot be bought on the market! If I hadn't brought one with me, you wouldn't have seen this market. But this gold is very expensive, even twice as much gold, you can't exchange it for such a piece. It requires 500 taels of silver, I'm afraid my wife can't afford it... How about it? If the little lady wants a few dollars, we might as well make an appointment another day, I'll give you some money..."

Before Wang Yunting could show off, Yuzhu turned around and said to Jue'er, "Give him five hundred taels of silver bills to Mr. Wang." Jue'er simply agreed and took out a five hundred taels of silver bill from his purse, took it into Wang Yunting's hand, and said, "Please take a look at it."

Wang Yunting looked down and saw that it was a silver note with the name of Jingcheng Feng. The whole country was in exchange for money. Sure enough, he was stunned for a moment and didn't know how to react. At this time, Yuzhu took the gold and turned around and left. Wang Yunting was very anxious because the gold was something his father told him to use. After collecting the money from several stores, he was about to go on the road and handed it to the imperial merchant Hu Wanchou of the capital. This time, when he saw his ex-sister-law, he was sure that she could not afford it, so he couldn't help but take it out and show it out. But who knew that this bitch actually took out a sky-high silver note, which scared him so much that he quickly planned to take it back. But as soon as he chased the store, several burly men blocked the way, holding his collar, and threw him on the stone floor at once, which made him scream in pain.

These big men were obviously from military backgrounds, full of murderous aura. The leader saw the prince’s meaning and glared: “Businessmen must be honest and trustworthy. There is no reason to sell things and take them back. If you dare to chase them again, be careful to break your tendons!”

Seeing that his son suffered a loss, several of the shop rushed out with sticks. However, when a few big men sneered and took out their knives, waiting for them to come and take action, they were all timid and did not dare to come forward. They could only watch Miss Six go away from a distance. Wang Yunting cried and said to himself: "What should I do if I can't bring out the hard gold to Boss Hu?"

After Yuzhu bought this hard gold, he immediately ordered someone to go to the gold shop to invite an experienced gold smith to give him a gold mold designed by himself, asking him to melt the hard gold and pour it into the mold to form. The base made in this way is indeed much brighter and harder than before, but Yuzhu knew that even if the gold was hard, if it was made with nail inlay, it would fall off after being carried for a long time. Therefore, when Yuzhu made the base gold mold, he spent a lot of effort, adding two protruding small hooks on it, and then carving two corresponding slots under the jadeite raw stone to fit the base, so that it can be more reliable after inlaying.

After the jadeware was made, he asked someone to take it to the capital with the other finished jade pieces. However, if the Yuzhu Xinzhi store wanted to continue to operate, it would not rely solely on this piece of hard gold, but still had to deal with the Wang family and cooperate for a long time. Not long ago, Wang Yunting came to the door, was sad and willing to buy the hard gold at a high price, begging her to return the hard gold. She blew her indirectly and learned that Hu Wanchou had the same idea, intending to control the source of hard gold in the Beijing jade shop, and to take the initiative to do it first, and had already contacted the Wang family.

This is also called Yuzhu being vigilant and only comes to contact the former husband's family, Wang family, when it comes to the northwest.

After these busy days, time has passed quickly. All the military rations collected by the Taiwei have been transported to Zhengguan Pass.

Yuzhu was surprised when she saw a truck of military rations passing by the door, because she heard Bai Shuiliu say that the military camp is now in severe shortage of food, and she has sent urgent documents to the capital to urge grain several times. Since Taiwei Yao had a way to raise military rations on his own, why did he still have to work to prepare food and grass by Master Bai in the court?

Even the deputy generals under Taiwei Yao were not sure about Taiwei's thoughts.
