Chapter thirty-eight, the quarrel in front of the shop
"Grandma, don't worry. If it's something you can't control, Jiao'er won't care about it. Jiao'er is just doing her best. Since she was reckless before, she won't be like this in the future. She won't worry grandma anymore. Here she goes.
I just wanted to pay my respects in person, and I hope the Lord of Lanxuan County will know."
Yu Xijiao stood up straight.
An and the eldest princess had already sent sacrifices before, and it was impossible for them to go there again, but Qian couldn't avoid it. Not only was he unable to avoid it, he also had to go and help.
Seeing that she insisted on doing this, her face was childish but somehow made people feel calm. An and the eldest princess could only sigh, pulled her to sit down again, and told her: "You can follow me to worship, but
Remember what you are saying now. If you have anything to do, you must tell your father... and tell your grandmother."
Knowing that Princess An and the eldest daughter had agreed, Yu Xijiao curved her lips with a smile, winked mischievously and said, "Grandma, my father is actually quite good."
"What's the matter? Such a grown man is of no use at all, yet he is being manipulated." An and the eldest princess said angrily at the mention of their son, and their faces narrowed.
"Grandma, you see what my father said today was very good." Yu Xijiao advised, "Jiao'er feels that her father didn't have a suitable person to help him and persuade him before."
Today's son's reaction was seen by An and the eldest princess. It was indeed much more decent than before. A trace of contemplation appeared in their eyes. The relationship with their son has not been good for so many years. Could it be that they had a reason for it?
He let out a long sigh, his expression softened, and he revealed a hint of sourness: "Jiao'er, your father was also sensible when he was young."
When he was a child, his son was fine, but... when did the mother and son start to separate?
When Leshi passed the house, he first met with Princess An and the eldest daughter, and then followed Yu Xijiao to her courtyard.
When she saw the courtyard where Yu Xijiao now lives, Leshi breathed a sigh of relief: "Jiao'er, since the eldest princess specially left a courtyard for you, she hopes you will live here, so you should simply not go back to Xuan.
Pinghou Mansion, it would be better to live here and accompany the eldest princess."
Leshi really couldn't trust Qian's character.
"Second aunt, I have decided to go back to Xuanpinghou Mansion to stay at night." Yu Xi said softly.
"Go back tonight? What are you going back for? This stepmother of yours is not a good person. She actually dares to think like this. Is it possible to just let it go?" Thinking of Qian's behavior yesterday, Leshi was very angry and wished she could not stay in Beijing.
Protecting Yu Xijiao.
"Second aunt, my grandmother already knows about this matter. The person has been sent to the Ministry of Punishment and has been put on trial. If something happens again in the future, he will be punished as both crimes." Yu Xijiao smiled slightly and reassured Leshi.
It was the maid who was sent to the Yamen, and the grandmother killed her mother-in-law with a cane as a warning to others.
"That's the best, otherwise it will be easier for her." Leshi snorted coldly, and then said melancholy, "I will leave Beijing tomorrow. If Qianshi treats you badly in the future, you must write to your grandmother. 2
My aunt will come to Beijing to support you when the time comes."
It was very inconvenient and hard to travel from Jiangnan to the capital, but her second aunt traveled thousands of miles to bring her to the capital. Now that she said such words, Yu Xijiao felt soft in her heart. She could do this, even if she was her own biological child.
She already had enough mothers. Remembering her childhood, she thought Leshi was her biological mother.
"Second Aunt, don't worry, I will be fine." Tears welled up in Yu Xijiao's eyes, and she threw herself into Leshi's arms.
"Okay, stop crying. Is the wound still painful? Have you asked the doctor to take a look? Is it okay?" Leshi was startled, and the hand that was about to hug her back subconsciously took away from her arm and turned away.
It landed on her forehead from a certain direction, and she breathed a sigh of relief when she found nothing unusual.
"Second aunt, can you wait a few more days to leave?" Yu Xijiao said coquettishly. She thought about it again and again last night, but still decided to wait a few more days.
Recalling everything in the dream, my brother is about to go to Beijing. At this time, there is no need to slack off at all.
I will never let those people have the opportunity to attack my brother.
"Okay, okay!" Seeing her like this, Leshi couldn't disagree and said hurriedly, "Is the wound okay?"
"Don't worry, Second Aunt, the wound no longer hurts. You know, Jiao'er knows how to heal, so how could she not know it." Yu Xijiao raised her head, took Leshi's hand and smiled.
"You have only scratched the surface of your medical skills. Is it possible that you can really treat people?" Seeing a smile on Yu Xijiao's face, Leshi breathed a sigh of relief and gently said
He tapped Yu Xijiao's forehead and said, "There are many famous doctors in the capital, so we can't talk nonsense and make others laugh."
"Second aunt, I know, my grandmother gave me instructions." Yu Xijiao said.
She did learn some medical skills when she was in Jiangnan. She learned it from Nanny Min, who was with her grandmother. Nanny Min was from the Xinglin family. She encountered a disaster when she was young. It was her grandmother who saved her, and she has been with her ever since.
By my side, I helped my grandmother take care of herself.
"For children, it's okay to know some medical skills, but if you are not good at it and treat people randomly, big trouble will happen. Besides, you are the daughter of the Xuanping Marquis Mansion, and you are not an ordinary person. Medical skills are the icing on the cake.
Just do it." Leshi warned.
"Second aunt, don't worry, I won't do it." Yu Xi responded softly, "Second aunt, I will take you back later, okay?"
"It's not like my second aunt doesn't know the way. I need you to help me wherever I need you." Leshi smiled and waved her hand.
"Second aunt, I just want to go to the street with you and have a look." Yu Xijiao stretched out her hand, took Leshi's hand, and shook it.
Something like this happened yesterday. Grandma will not let her go out again. Now she can only go out by borrowing from her second aunt.
She had to arrange her brother's affairs early. This matter was imminent. Fortunately, in her last life, she had a thought in her mind and made a secret move...
"Okay, let's go after a while." Leshi smiled.
"Second aunt, let's go now. I haven't gone shopping with you in the past few days since you've been in the capital. It's such a rare opportunity now. If it comes tomorrow, I might not be able to go in the next few days."
"Ming, what else will happen the day after tomorrow?" Le asked puzzledly. She didn't know what was happening outside.
"The Zhengyuan Marquis' Mansion is holding a funeral. In the next few days, I will follow my mother to the Zhengyuan Marquis' Mansion to help with the funeral." Yu Xijiao said softly.
The two families had a close relationship and were from the same clan, so it was natural for Yu Xijiao to help handle the funeral.
"Why are we taking you there again?" Upon hearing about the Zhengyuan Marquis Mansion, Leshi's expression became nervous.
"Second aunt, don't worry, nothing will happen this time." Yu Xijiao reassured her, "There is a case from the Ministry of Punishment, so she doesn't dare to act rashly."
Leshi snorted coldly: "She'd better be smarter."
"Second aunt, can we go out now?" Yu Xijiao said.
"Okay, I'm going to see the eldest princess now." Leshi nodded her forehead helplessly and stood up.
The two of them went to meet Princess An and the eldest princess. They heard that Leshi was going to take Yu Xijiao for a stroll and knew that she would leave Beijing in a few days. This was a matter of course.
An and the eldest princess nodded in agreement and asked Yu Xijiao to bring enough silver before allowing them to leave.
An and the eldest princess prepared a carriage for Yu Xijiao, but Yu Xijiao still got into Leshi's carriage affectionately. The two of them sat together like mother and daughter, talking quietly.
The place the two of them went to was a ready-made clothing shop located in a lively street. Not only did they have clothing materials and accessories, but they could also make clothes directly here. There were also complete sets of clothes that had been embroidered by specialized embroiderers.
If you are short of time, you can choose directly.
This Yiyi Zhai is also one of the few ready-to-wear shops in the capital. Many wealthy families like to come here to directly choose clothes, or to choose good clothing and accessories. There are some materials that are different from those in the capital. Other shops may also have them, but the quantity is small.
There are many, and the varieties are also single.
The location is good, with three storefronts on two floors.
Because it is mainly for women's clothing, there is also a private room on the upper floor, where the women can sit down and slowly choose. It is also equipped with suitable pastries and tea. You can also talk while choosing, and the side facing the street is also available.
It is a favorite place for women from aristocratic families in the capital to enjoy the scenery.
This is also the reason why Xiyi Zhai has such an excellent reputation.
Compared with ordinary tea shops and restaurants, this place is obviously more suitable for women from aristocratic families to come and go, and it is easier to avoid suspicion.
Although there are no private rooms downstairs, there are seats. If you are accompanying a man, you can also sit down and rest. There are no private rooms, which also makes the entire downstairs look much brighter. The materials for ready-made clothes, accessories, and
Some embroidery pictures are divided into different areas and are well organized.
The carriage stopped in an alley on the street. There was no parking space in front of Xiyi Zhai. The land on that stretch of road was very expensive, so there was really no extra parking space.
Everyone in the capital knows this, and usually finds another place to park their carriage early and then walks there.
Yu Xijiao put on a curtain hat and got off the carriage with Le Shi. The weather was nice today and there were many people on both sides of the street, all out for shopping.
"Girl, is there a quarrel in front?" Qingyue raised her toes and looked forward in surprise. There were many people surrounding the place in front of her.
"Let's go take a look." Yu Xijiao raised her eyes and looked over. She recognized the door of Xiyi Zhai at a glance. Could it be a coincidence?
"Your injury hasn't healed yet. Don't squeeze in a place like this. What if you get hurt?" Leshi didn't agree, looked at Yu Xijiao's hand and stopped her.
"Second aunt, I just want to take a look. I'll have a look from a distance. I don't have to come forward." Yu Xi said coquettishly, "With so many people around, something must have happened. If anything happens in front of the store, I'll be the first.
I saw this for the first time. When I was in Jiangnan, I seldom went out and never saw anything like this. Second aunt, please let me go and see the excitement!"
"You kid, why are you so naughty?" Seeing her like this, Leshi smiled helplessly and cursed, and at the same time warned, "Stay close to me when the time comes and don't squeeze in with others."
"Second Aunt, I will be careful." Yu Xijiao stretched out her hand and pressed her injured arm softly, saying softly.
Leshi arranged for the people around her to protect Yu Xijiao, and then brought Yu Xijiao closer.
Such a large group of people came over. Looking at this posture, you can tell that they are either rich or noble. The crowd gave way to both sides. Yu Xijiao stepped forward easily. When she saw clearly the two people who were pulling each other, Yu Xijiao's long eyelashes
Blinking twice, a trace of ridicule flashed in his eyes. Sure enough, Zhengyuan Hou Mansion never disappoints people, and here it comes...
