99. Chapter 99
Yuzhu tried to confront the Taiwei head-on several times, but she returned in vain. This adult has always been soft and not hard. Therefore, seeing that the Taiwei was looking at her, she just tried to say softly: "I have the best relationship with my second sister since I was a child. This time I have been back in the northwest for a long time. She missed me for a while. Could it be that the Taiwei even had such sister letters to be checked in person?"
Since her mother said that Bai has been involved in the chaos in the palace, Yao Muye has very little tolerance for collusion between them and outside the palace.
He had already regarded Yuzhu as his wife, so he naturally had strict requirements on such daily affairs. He must not let her have any connection with the concubine in the palace and interfere with the family affairs of the emperor.
But on the other hand, I thought that Concubine Xiao was not very favored in the palace, and Yuzhu rarely had a close sister. If Yuzhu had forced him to cut off his contact with Concubine Xiao, the little woman would not cry in a place where no one else would... Thinking of this, the Taiwei finally handed the letter slowly to Yuzhu, and said at the same time: "After all, she is the concubine in the palace. If you interact with her, you should not be as close as an ordinary sister."
Yuzhu responded kindly, and then received the letter. When the Taiwei went to the study to handle government affairs, he opened the envelope and looked at the contents in the letter.
There are many ears and ears in the palace, and the letters have to be passed by several people. Concubine Xiao also added caution in her letters. Most of them were talking about the flowers and plants she raised. However, in the letter, there was a sentence that made people wonder. She said that since she had a jade hairpin carved by her sister, the original hidden disease of the headache was cured, but she was not very peaceful in her abdomen. It seemed that the old problem of abdominal pain had been dealt with again. She was just lazy recently. The imperial physician in the palace did not come to ask for pulse on time. I hope my sister could return to Beijing soon and enter the palace to comfort her sick body..."
When Yuzhu sent the jade bracelet to replace the medicine bracelet, she did put the jade hairpin on the brocade box, but there was no effect on the treatment of headaches in this jade hairpin. What's more, she never heard the second sister ask about a headache. She looked at the sentence repeatedly. Suddenly she understood - is it... what the second sister meant that she was pregnant again?
If it was placed in the harem in the past, it would be a commendable thing to have a dragon vein, especially a concubine like her second sister who was obviously out of favor. If she had a child, she would also comfort the lonely life in the harem.
However, the person who tampers with the second sister's jade bracelet has not yet been confirmed. If it is the queen's meaning, it is not called the second sister pregnant, then Concubine Xiao is pregnant at this time, and it is simply a death-seeking talisman, for fear of a lot of danger.
My second sister also knew this in her heart. In addition, she had miscarriage twice before. If this baby cannot be safe, it will be a concern for her life!
After reading this letter repeatedly, Yuzhu also wanted to resolve the affairs of the northwest as soon as possible and return to the capital as soon as possible.
On the second day, Yuzhu's itinerary was arranged in full. She first went to the jade mine to see the jade materials, picked out the large materials to use for returning to Beijing, and then interviewed with the head of the Wang family to see the future cooperation.
The matter of checking the jade material went smoothly. In addition to selecting a few large pieces of good-quality materials, I carefully selected two boxes of seed materials with a lamp.
Most seed materials are used to make small pieces of jade pendants and jewelry. The smaller the objects, the more flawed they are. Therefore, when choosing each piece of jade, you must have a clear idea of the jade beads. When choosing something with delicate and smooth color, the more exquisite carving work, it will not be able to make up for the original shortcomings of the jade material.
Whenever you choose one piece and put it in the box, Juer must write down the purpose of the seed material, roughly the characteristics, and enter it into the box with the seed material for future use.
The process that was carried out from the early morning was not completed until the afternoon. Yuzhu looked at the hour, moved her stiff neck and wrists for a moment, and then told the coachman to prepare to go to the Wang family's shop.
The Wang family is now in charge of the main body of the Great House, Wang Wenyuan. He and Yuzhu's former Wang family's father-in-law were brothers, the uncle of Wang Yunting, who was stabbed by Yuzhu's own hands, and he was also the head of the Wang family.
The whole Wang family found it incredible that the abandoned wife of the Wang family was so embarrassed to come back to discuss business on their own initiative, especially Yuzhu's former mother-in-law, who even scolded her ill-heartedly in front of her relatives.
My uncle Wang Wenyuan had no good impression of this old niece-in-law. In fact, I had only met several times during festivals before. I only remember that he was a thin and charming little woman. How could he have any deep impression of her?
But Yuzhu is now in business with the identity of an imperial merchant, and she is willing to talk to each other, but Wang Wenyuan is not easy to refuse, but originally wanted to send a shopkeeper to deal with the woman.
But who knew that just yesterday, Wang Yunting, the nephew who was supposed to go to the capital, came back in shame and told his uncle about the woman forcing her to buy hard gold.
Wang Wenyuan was furious when he heard this. The woman used a cunning trick and bought the piece of hard money that was originally intended to be given to Hu Wanchou from Wang Yunting. This matter also requires a tough parent to care about her! So he decided to meet the Wang family's young wife in person today.
When Yuzhu got off the carriage, she was told not to enter through the main entrance of the store.
The guy said arrogantly: "My master told me that the shop front is too polite and that people will see you entering our Wang family's shop, which will damage our Wang family's reputation. Please feel wronged and enter through the back door!"
Yuzhu was about to speak when suddenly the streets were in a state of chaos. She saw a sound of horses in the distance. Soon, a group of guards in military uniforms came with the Grand Marshal on horseback.
The precious horses were tall and strong, with long tails and manes on them, and the saddles were all extremely gorgeous, not to mention those luxurious shirts, which really made people look at each other in this small town in the northwest.
Yuzhu didn't expect that the Taiwei would come here suddenly, and was also a little stunned. Before the horse team arrived at Wangjiapu, the Taiwei threw the horse whip to the guards behind him, turned over and dismounted, stood in front of the shop, looked up and down, and said to Yuzhu: "What are you stunned? I'll go in with you."
The guy was also shocked by the momentum of Taiwei Yao and asked in a low voice: "Dare you ask me if you have the honor of your name?"
Before the Taiwei could speak, the guard next to him said viciously: "Taiwei Yao is here, why don't you, a little man, make way out quickly?"
When the clerk learned that the Taiwei of the Great Wei was in front of him, he was so scared that he crawled in and reported to the uncle who was in charge of the Wang family. After hearing this, the old man hurried out to greet him. He felt a soul in his heart along the way. He naturally heard that Taiwei Yao had some rumors about the abandoned wife of the Wang family, but he always disdained these hearsays in his heart. What's the good thing about the sixth lady in the Xiao Mansion? How could he be able to cling to the Yao family's noble mansion that was the leader of the Wei Dynasty?
But when he trotted all the way to the door, he saw a tall man standing on the steps, half-down his head, talking to the small and beautiful woman. The man was handsome and the woman was beautiful. The two of them stood together like fairies entering a painting, giving people an indescribable subtle feeling.
He hurried over and said with great tribute: "Mr. Wang Wenyuan, a grass-rootsman, paid a visit to the Grand Marshal. The Grand Marshal nodded slightly and said: "I wonder if the Manager Wang can bring me and my fiancée into your store?" Wang Wenyuan's heart broke out, and he dared not say anything. He quickly bent down and asked the Grand Marshal and Yuzhu to enter.
The Taiwei was in a good mood today, and he did not dislike the shabby and vulgarity of the Wang family's merchant shop. He actually gave up his big car and accompanied Yuzhu into the shop.
After sitting down, Yuzhu proposed the reason for her to cooperate with the Wang family this time.
In fact, the price given by Yuzhu is not low. In addition, she is the imperial merchant of the imperial tribute in the capital, so she naturally uses a lot of gold for inlay in the future, which is also a big deal for the Wang family.
However, the Wang family had been preparing to cooperate with Hu Wanchou, and Hu Wanchou even asked the Wang family to never supply the shops of pure jade and gold. In fact, Hu Wanchou did not need to explain, and the Wang family did not bother with the Wang family's abandoned wife.
However, this time the Grand Marshal actually came here in person, confirming the previous rumors, and told the Wang family to be cautious.
It doesn't matter if you offend the abandoned wife in front of you, but if you get to the Taiwei of the dynasty because of this, it will be a loss.
However, the eldest uncle of the Wang family still felt that the Taiwei was just fascinated by the beauty of the abandoned wife in front of him, so he was invited by her to support the store. He would never lose his identity and personally participate in the merchants who were regarded as a lowly business by the great family.
Therefore, when Yuzhu asked, the uncle of the Wang family thought about it, and while secretly squinting the Taiwei's face, he said tactfully: "Miss Yuzhu doesn't know that my Wang family had already cooperated with Hu Wanchou, the imperial merchant in the capital, and even agreed not to supply other stores in the capital. My Wang family has been in business for hundreds of years and has earned a good reputation of integrity. It is really difficult to break the contract. Please forgive me for Miss Yuzhu."
Yuzhu was not surprised when she heard this and asked: "Yuzhu didn't know that the Wang family had already cooperated with Manager Hu, but it was a risk. But now it is not like the past. The emperor personally approved two royal merchants with imperial tribute. If ordinary small families had the opportunity to cooperate with the Royal Merchants, it would be a great deal. However, for industry leaders like Wang family, they would have to abandon half of the royal and high-ranking families in the capital, which would be a bit unworthy of the gains and losses. Please ask the shopkeeper to consider the gains and losses?"
After hearing the Wang family's polite rejection, the Grand Marshal did not say much. He did not want Yuzhu to cooperate with the Wang family. If he followed suit, he would be rejected by the Wang family, which was just right.
