Guan Ruyi and Tan An were quickly fished out, changed into clean clothes, and sent carriages back to their respective homes.
The two co-authors are an unmarried couple, so Ouyang Mansion thought of sending a congratulatory gift as an apology later.
Guan Qian hurriedly left the Hexagonal Pavilion, and when she returned to the main courtyard, she finally found Ye Fuxun.
As soon as she stepped forward to call Ye Fuxun, Guan Yue followed her out of nowhere with a smile: "Second sister."
Then he knelt down to Ye Fuxun and said, "Guan Yue has met Madam."
Ye Fuxun heard about what happened at the Liujia Pavilion, looked at Guan Qian and saw that her expression was as usual, and felt a little relieved.
Then he looked at Guan Yue.
Guan Yue was the direct daughter of the eldest family member of the Guan Mansion. She had gentle eyebrows and was quite ladylike.
His eyes were also clear and lively, and his first impression on Ye Fuxun was not bad.
"Ah Yue heard that the disaster relief charity sale in the main hall has started," Guan Yue said with a smile, "I wonder if Madam and Second Sister are planning to go and have a look?"
Ye Fuxun nodded: "I'm just about to go there."
"I heard that Fanyang County and Piyang County were severely affected by this earthquake." Although Guan Yue was a lady, she was quite familiar with current affairs. "Earlier, my uncle accompanied Mr. He to Fanyang for disaster relief..."
She whispered and walked to the main hall with Ye Fulun and Guan Qian.
When we arrived at the entrance of the main hall, a butler greeted us with a smile and held a tray: "Madam, are you in charge of the eldest girl and the second girl, are you three coming to participate in the bazaar?"
Seeing the three people nodding, the butler continued, "According to the rules, all the benefactors participating in the charity sale can donate an item at will to participate in the charity sale. Please leave a donation for the three of you."
Ye Fuxun was already prepared for this. She smiled and glanced at Xiaoyu, who then handed over a sandalwood sunspot: "These are a pair of emerald and red agate crested steps donated by my wife.
"
The housekeeper hurriedly accepted it with a respectful voice.
Guan Yue smiled and took off the glazed jade bracelet from her wrist: "I will donate this bracelet."
The butler took it again with a smile.
When Guan Qian arrived, she was slightly embarrassed.
Her stepmother never notified her to come to Ouyang Mansion to celebrate her birthday. When her grandmother asked her to go out, she was so anxious that she had no time to dress up.
No matter the skirt or the hairpin, they all look simple as they are usually worn in the house.
I didn’t even know that there would be a charity sale when I came to Ouyang Mansion.
She hesitated for a moment, then she took off a silver hairpin with plum blossom beads from the end of her hair and placed it on the butler's tray. She whispered, "I'll just donate this silver hairpin."
Unexpectedly, as soon as she put down her hand, Guan Yue took off the golden hairpin on her head and put it on with a smile: "Even this hairpin was donated by the second girl in our house."
The three of them said this and walked into the main hall together.
The people who came to attend the birthday banquet were either rich or noble. Although the donations were all brought with them, there were many famous items among them.
Ye Fuxun watched slowly while talking to Guan Qian.
When I see something I like, I buy it readily.
The intention is to do good deeds, so the more the better.
In addition, there are indeed many good things that are worth buying.
Although Guan Qian was not rich, she was raised in a wealthy family, so although she did not buy anything, she did not appear poor at all.
Ye Fuxun liked her spirit very much.
Not long after, Ye Fuxun caught a glimpse of many male guests walking in, the leader of whom was Yu Yu.
She smiled and said something to Guan Qian, then walked in the direction of Yu Yu.
Deliberately pointed out the silver hairpin donated by Guan Qian to Yu Yu, and was about to remind him to buy it and give it to Guan Qian later, when Ji Daji, whom he had not seen for a long time, appeared out of nowhere, pulled her and left Ouyang Mansion.
.
Therefore, it was a pity that Ye Fuxun missed what happened next.
Although she only pointed out which silver hairpin Guan Qian had and did not have time to say more, who Yu Yu was, she could understand what she wanted to convey just from the look in her sister's eyes.
Immediately he bought the silver hairpin.
Then I started to shop while appreciating them, and picked out a lot of good jewelry and hairpin rings, mostly to give to my aunt and sister.
After walking around in the main hall and doing enough good deeds, he slowly left the main hall.
However, not long after he left, a steward hurriedly caught up with him: "Master Yu, please go back."
Yu Yu followed the steward back to the main hall in confusion, and saw Ouyang Zhenzhen, the third girl from the Ouyang Mansion, looking at him anxiously: "Young master, have you bought a set of hollowed-out carved enamel-inlaid jadeite headpieces?"
Yu Yu took out a wooden box from a large bag in his hand, opened it and showed it in front of Ouyang Zhenzhen: "Is this what the third girl is talking about?"
This set of hair looked unique, and he wanted to buy it as a gift to his sister.
"Yes, that's it!" Ouyang Zhenzhen's eyes lit up, and she reached out to take the wooden box back.
Yu Yu quickly closed the wooden box and put it in the bag: "Miss Third, I spent one thousand taels on this set of noodles."
"But it is my most beloved head and face." Ouyang Zhenzhen explained.
"My maid took the wrong set of donated heads and noodles, so she sent it here by mistake. Mr. Yu, I wonder if you can return this set of heads and faces to me. I can exchange another set of heads and faces of equivalent value for you."
Yu Yu pursed her lips, glanced at Ouyang Zhenzhen and said, "We are talking about business."
"This set of headscarves already belongs to someone. If Miss Three wants to take it back, it's not impossible. However, she has to buy it back at the price below."
Ouyang Zhenzhen was stunned for a moment and still didn't understand what Yu Yu meant.
"You, what did you say?"
The people around whispered: "Third Miss, Mr. Yu means that you have to spend money to buy back your head and face from him."
"This makes sense. After all, Mr. Yu spent money to buy this set of noodles, and all the money was donated."
Ouyang Zhenzhen finally understood: "Then I'll give you one thousand taels."
Yu Yu stretched out his finger and shook it: "I won't sell it."
"What do you mean?" Ouyang Zhenzhen gradually became embarrassed.
"If you want to buy it back, then just pay two thousand taels and don't negotiate the price." Yu Yu smiled.
As soon as these words came out, the people around him were shocked.
"Young Master Yu only bought the top spot for one thousand taels, and now he sells it for only two thousand taels... Isn't it a bit too..."
"Besides, this is still in Ouyang's house."
"Young master Yu just said that we are talking about business. Is this the so-called true nature of a businessman?"
"The third girl is probably going to be very angry."
"Will the third girl spend two thousand taels to buy that set of noodles?"
Everyone was whispering.
Ouyang Zhenzhen's chest heaved with anger, and she gritted her teeth and looked at Yu Yu: "Are you really going to bid like this?"
"That's right." Yu Yu smiled happily, "If Miss Three is unwilling, please forgive me for not accompanying you."
After saying this, he raised his feet to leave.
"Wait!" Ouyang Zhenzhen called him and said cruelly, "Two thousand taels is two thousand taels!"
