Chapter 196 Blue Bird

Mrs. Wu placed Miss Wu in the back room of her house, asked her tamper to teach her the rules, and then transferred a close-fitting maid next to her to serve, bought two little maids to come in and learn the rules with her maid, so that she could follow Miss Wu to the Yu family in the future.

Miss Wu was not very willing and was a little absent-minded when learning the rules.

Mrs. Wu saw it and was anxious in her heart. She advised her from time to time: "The young master of the Yu family not only passed the Jinshi class, but also was young and handsome. Although you used to be a concubine, Mrs. Yu was only aware of her destiny and in good health this year. If you gave birth to your eldest son, how could Mrs. Yu help bring her to her twentieth year? What are you going to worry about?"

But in the end, we have to be a small low in front of people.

Miss Wu muttered in her heart, thinking that things had come to this point, if she said no, her father and sister would probably find it difficult to rely on her in the clan... so she thought she had died and changed her good days for her father and sister. After thinking about this, she changed her mood and asked Mrs. Wu: "If the family asked, she would only say that I had passed away."

Mrs. Wu frowned slightly, thought about it, and nodded gently.

Miss Wu breathed a sigh of relief and began to learn the rules seriously with Mrs. Wu's wet nurse.

Mrs. Wu asked someone to help Ms. Wu make clothes for the four seasons at home, and thought that all the things stored in her warehouse were good things, so Ms. Wu was going to be a concubine for others, so she couldn't wear them like a grandmother in her main room, right?

She brought a letter to the tailor shop to measure the size and brought a few new style rulers in Beijing.

The tailor shop is well-known in Kyoto, and the shop is open in the Chunshu Alley next to it. People in the alleys on the left and right will ask him to do any work. Because they were entering and leaving the inner courtyard and were some big customers, the tailor’s family came to measure the size himself.

While measuring the size of Miss Wu, she praised Miss Wu for being beautiful: "...it's obvious that she is the wife's family!"

"Then you are wrong." Everyone likes to listen to good words, not to mention that Miss Wu is indeed beautiful, Mrs. Wu smiled, "This is the niece of our master."

"Oh," the tailor's wife smiled, "No wonder I see the young masters of the noble family, all the ladies look very beautiful, and they look like Mr. Wu." As she said that, she looked at Mrs. Wu carefully, "It can be seen that the wife and the master are made of heaven, and there is a couple like him."

The flattery made Mrs. Wu laugh happily.

The tailor's family saw the atmosphere good, and took the opportunity to bring out a piece of pink silk material embroidered with tender yellow butterfly patterns: "What do you think of this? This year, the new style of Jiangnan weaving, the wife of Zhao next door made a small jacket for their eldest daughter, and she was dressed very well."

Mrs. Wu looked at the material with bright pink and tender yellow and tender, and was a little willing. She also heard that Zhao Ling's daughter also made a piece, and she felt it was even better.

The mother who served next to her smiled and said, "I don't know how much does this good color cost?"

The tailor's wife smiled and said, "If it is placed in someone else's house, it will naturally be expensive, but when you go to the mansion, there is no expensive thing, only twelve taels of silver per piece."

So expensive!

A hint of hesitation flashed between Mrs. Wu's eyebrows.

The mother who served next to her was a clever man and immediately said, "It's good, but our lady is going to wear it to see the guests. Mrs. Yu is famous for her love for the simple and elegant ones. I think it's better to put it aside first. If you can't choose a more suitable one, then make plans."

Mrs. Wu nodded pretending and asked the tailor's wife to take her to the side.

The tailor's wife was a keen eye. She knew that Mrs. Wu was reluctant to let go, so she took out the first-class material. Mrs. Wu picked up the plain one and made a few sets of clothes for Ms. Wu, and set up the silver. The tailor's wife packed up her things and said with a smile: "Do you want to make some pairs of socks from Songjiang cloth? The wife of Mrs. Zhao next door made a few small clothes for their eldest son and had a fraction of them. If the lady wanted to add a few pairs of socks, I helped to make them and sent them together, which is my filial piety to my wife."

It means free gift.

Mrs. Wu was embarrassed and smiled and said, "You need to add a few pairs of socks, but you don't have to give them away for free. Just count them as the price on the market as the wages."

The whole family laughed and said a lot of words of thanks, but in the end Mrs. Wu refused and reluctantly took the socks.

After retreating, Ms. Wu whispered to the person serving around her: "What does Lord Zhao next door do?"

The serving man next to him smiled and said, "Zhao Da is the general, his parents are gone, their family is the head of the wife." He sighed, "The eldest lady of the Zhao family is only three years old this year, and the eldest young master has just six months old!"

Miss Wu couldn't help but be amazed.

I thought to myself that my sister is thirteen years old this year and has never worn a new dress. The lady of the Zhao family and the young master are still ignorant children, so she wore twelve taels of silver per pack. It's really different from her fate...

Mrs. Wu also smiled and said, "I didn't expect Mrs. Zhao to be generous!"

The mother who served him smiled and said, "After all, he is the eldest son and the eldest daughter. And I heard that Lord Zhao is proficient in common affairs and earned a lot of money when he was in Shaanxi."

Mrs. Wu thought for a while and said, "For this year's New Year's Day gift, the Zhao family's additional ten taels of silver... No, twenty taels of silver!"

Mom smiled and said no.

But Fu Tingyun was worried about the money at this time: "...8,000 taels of silver must be paid in one piece, and no penny can be lost?"

Yu Wei nodded with a bitter smile: "The man is waiting outside. He said that if he is inconvenient for a moment, he would sell the other two or three other courtyards. It is just ten acres smaller than this courtyard, and there are several other courtyards separated by Yuming Mountain. Unlike the current courtyard, where Yuming Mountain is just right behind it."

Fu Tingjun carefully recalled the scene when he went to see the villa: "That won't be possible. After a few villas, in summer, the cool breeze can't blow, so the yard will be bought in vain. Since that's the case, just go back to the yarn, saying that the price is too high and you can't get so much money at hand. Let him worry about it and help us find another yard. It doesn't matter if it's smaller, but it's closer to Yuming Mountain."

Yuwei hesitated and said, "Madam, why not, use the money I sent back to Xi'an first..."

Fu Tingyun shook her head: "That was the one who bought land for Asen. It was the beginning of winter and the people who wanted to sell the land were the time to sell it. It was a big deal. If you can't buy a suitable one this year, it would not be too late to buy it next year."

Yuwei stopped saying anything and went to the outer courtyard to pass the message.

Fu Tingyun settled the accounts in his mind.

Zhao Ling also brought back five or six thousand taels of silver this year, and she saved them all. Including the original family's assets, there were eight or nine thousand taels of silver. Xi'an sent two thousand taels of silver to help Asen buy some land, and there were six thousand taels of silver... Jin Yuanbao's marriage was scheduled for March 12 next year, and she would have to use a piece of silver at that time. She was also thinking about buying a farm, shop and so on near Kyoto. It seemed that she would have to wait for another year to buy a villa that suits her wishes.

Thinking of this, she simply left the matter of buying a house behind her, thinking about whether it would be a big profit to buy a house or a big profit to buy a shop... Whether it is a farm or a shop, there are all profits, but the farm relies on the weather and will only collect the rent smoothly when encountering good weather. If the year is not good, she still has to credit seeds to help overcome the difficulties. The shop's income is stable, but the investment is large, and it will take more than ten or twenty years to recover the capital... It is best to use your own shop to do some small business... When Yuwei returned to the house and came to report, she told Yuwei: "Tell me to the outer courtyard, if Uncle Jin comes, please come to the hall of the main house, and I have something to discuss with him."

Yu responded slightly, but a little hesitation appeared in his expression.

Fu Tingyun Qi said: "What's wrong?"

The rainy sounded without saying anything.

Fu Tingyun and she went to the ear room in the inner room to talk.

Yu Wei whispered: "This year, the one who came to send money to the fifth master was a cousin of Sister Yitong. He asked me to hand me over, saying that he had been entrusted by Yitong and had something to give me. He asked me to meet at a restaurant called "Zengji" outside Xizhimen... You see..."

"Yitong is a very safe person. Her cousin is unwilling to come to the house, or she doesn't want to cause trouble, and doesn't enter our house. She just thinks that she doesn't know that I'm still alive, she hides the bell and makes her understand. Or she doesn't want people to find out that he has been to our house. If the Fu family asks me, it's hard to refuse. We don't need to worry about this. Since he has made an appointment with you, you can go." Fu Tingyun said, "I'll tell Zheng San, he knows what to do."

Yu Wei relaxed her expression when she heard this and said with a smile: "I also think I should go to see her. If you don't enter the tiger's den, how can you get a tiger's son?"

Fu Tingyun laughed: "It's just a restaurant. If we go back to the Fu family in Huayin one day, it will be the dragon's and tiger's den!"

Yu Wei smiled proudly and said, "I always follow my wife. I will go wherever my wife goes."

The two of them laughed and said a few gossips. Fu Tingjun asked Zhenzhu to reply to Zheng San. The next day, Yuwei took Zheng San's car to Xizhimen.

They came back at noon.

Yuwei's face was very pale.

Fu Tingyun handed Brother Xi in her arms to her wet nurse, left half of the meal, and went into the ear room of the inner room with her.

Before she could speak, Yuwei said, "Grandma Big Young is gone!"

Fu Tingyun's head buzzed, her heart was empty, her mouth twitched, and she didn't know what to say for a while.

Yu Wei said in a deep voice: "Sister Yitong, as your instructions, the eldest grandma wants to inquire about what information, and try to tell the eldest grandma who serves around her. During the Chinese New Year, the eldest grandma returned to his hometown to worship his ancestors, and the eldest grandma begged the eldest grandma to help find Zuo Junjie. Not only was the eldest grandma scolded him, but he was also scolded by the eldest lady.

"The eldest young lady didn't say anything at that time. On the Dragon Boat Festival, she started to make a fuss in front of the whole clan, saying that her son had married a wife, and she was worthy of the ancestors of the Fu family. She asked several old ladies to make the decision and let her go to Biyun Temple to practice.

"It shocked everyone at that time.

"The ancestor of the sixth room asked the eldest grandma what was wrong. The eldest grandma didn't say anything, but just cried and begged the ancestor to pity her for so many years in the Fu family, and asked her to go to Biyun Temple to practice. The grandma was so angry that her face turned pale. When the old ladies met, they didn't dare to say much, and the ancestor worship on the Dragon Boat Festival also parted.

"Afterwards, the eldest lady went to the main hall with the eldest young lady and asked the eldest young lady to explain clearly what she wanted to do. The eldest young lady said that she had received the news that Zuo Junjie was in the hands of Yu Jingxiu, the eldest son of the Yu family in Kyoto. Your affairs were all caused by Mr. Yu looking down on the Fu family and tempting Zuo Junjie. You are still alive now. Please ask the eldest master to let Zuo Junjie confront you in the ancestral hall to clear the stigma of Zuo Junjie and you.

"The lady fainted from anger.

"The eldest lady asked someone to raise the eldest young lady back, and all the people who served were sold, and a new person was replaced.

"Sister Yitong dared not pass messages to the eldest grandma again.

"Who knew that on September 26, the newly married young master of the fifth house and the bride went to the temple to celebrate. When they opened the gate of the ancestral hall, they saw that the eldest young lady had been hanged on the beam of the ancestral hall.

"Now, people in Huayin are rumoring that the Fu family deceived the world and stole the reputation, abused the widowed daughter-in-law, and forced the widowed daughter-in-law to hang herself..."



During this period of training, I was having a meal with my colleagues in the afternoon, so I couldn’t double updates. I’ll finish this weekend...o(∩_∩)o~...
