Yu Xijiao took Qingyue up the stairs. Leshi was still watching the excitement in front of the private room door. When he saw her coming, he winked and waved to her.
Yu Xijiao went over and asked, "What happened to my second aunt?"
I looked up and saw that the crowd was already dispersing. Apparently there was nothing left to see.
Seeing that there was no excitement to see, Leshi turned around and went in, followed by Yu Xijiao into the private room.
The two of them sat down in front of the chairs. Leshi reached out and pointed to the private room on the left, speaking in a low voice: "The sachet is thrown over there."
"Then you were criticized?" Yu Xijiao fluttered her long eyelashes twice. She didn't think that Prince Qi came upstairs to thank the person who threw the sachet.
"We searched the private room and asked about this girl. I heard that she is the daughter of Prime Minister Yu." Leshi's voice became a little lower.
Yu Xijiao raised her head in astonishment. She was the daughter of the Prime Minister and the niece of the Empress. Her status was indeed extraordinary. No wonder she dared to throw sachets on other people's canopies in the street.
"I didn't give him any face. He asked me to interrogate him as if I were an assassin. Finally, I asked the daughter to go to the Ministry of Punishment to explain herself. Otherwise, she would not be spared lightly. I suspected that she wanted to assassinate the heir apparent." Leshi now remembered.
She was also frightened, but luckily her niece had already gone out. When she came to knock on the door, she was shocked when she saw the tall and thick guards.
"Have you asked about all the private rooms?" Yu Xijiao frowned.
"I've asked them all. There are three private rooms close to each other. Fortunately, when you go out and see that there are no young girls, you don't ask any more questions. There are also young girls on the right, but they are very obedient. They just say whatever they ask.
There is no difficulty, only here...it starts to get very arrogant."
Leshi stretched out his hand and pointed to the left.
This kind of thing is actually an elegant thing to say. The main reason why things are happening like this now is because neither party seems to be the kind to forgive others.
Yu Xijiao looked to the left and faintly heard the sound of sobbing. It seemed that the girl from Yufu had suffered a lot. Her aunt was the queen and her father was the prime minister. This girl from Yufu did have the courage to rebuke.
The guard who came to inquire turned out to be the Crown Prince of Qi, who even the prince dared to step on.
Yu Xijiao didn't know what to say. She couldn't interfere too much in this matter.
Now I can only pretend not to know, lest this domineering daughter of the Yu family will take out her anger on the store owner.
The girl from Yufu still wanted to be decent, and could not make a scene like a shrew. She cried aggrievedly in the private room for a while, and then left surrounded by several maids.
Hearing the sound of the neighbor leaving, Yu Xijiao asked: "Then...how did you fall?"
"It was her own fault. She reached out to hit the guard who asked her, but the prince raised his leg and kicked her, and then she fell down." Leshi said.
It hurt her to hear the voice. It was really pitiful for such a delicate daughter of a noble family.
Yu Xijiao was speechless for a while, so she didn't fall down by herself, but was kicked down?
Yu Xiang has two daughters, one is the legitimate daughter, she used to be gentle and decent, and has an excellent reputation in the capital. The other has always been known as arrogant and domineering. If this is really the daughter of Yu Xiang's house, I am afraid she is this arrogant concubine.
Although she was only a concubine, because she was good-looking, she was very fond of the empress and she doted on her as if she were a legitimate daughter.
Is this really an accident?
But this matter has little to do with Yu Xijiao. Now that the second girl from Yufu has gone back, it naturally has nothing to do with her. As for whether to go to the Yamen or not, that is not her business.
My brother's affairs have been arranged well, and with care and attention, and with Qi Guanshi and Shiba here, my brother will definitely turn misfortune into good fortune, and turn any misfortune into good fortune.
The second aunt is still in the capital, and Yu Xijiao really wants to go shopping with the second aunt to see what is good and ask the second aunt to take her to Jiangnan.
I had just been reborn before, and I had been in a state of panic and anxiety. Now that I have sorted myself out a little and felt a little more at ease, I have time to think about the gift.
I asked Mr. Li to send some more brocades and accessories, but not embroidery or ready-made clothes. The embroidery in Jiangnan is very famous, and the most famous one is double-sided embroidery. The ones here in the capital are slightly inferior. As for ready-made clothes, they are generally
If you make it at home, there is no need to buy it directly outside unless you are in a hurry.
"These brocades are really good, they look completely different from the ones from Jiangnan." Leshi had already picked them out just now, and this batch seems to be better. Leshi was delighted when he saw it, and was not polite to Yu Xijiao, but rather picked more.
I have a few copies and plan to take them to Jiangnan to give gifts to people in the mansion.
"Some of them are from the Southern Tang Dynasty." Yu Xi said with a smile.
The Southern Tang Dynasty is located to the south of the Da Jin Dynasty. It has been at war with the Da Jin Dynasty in the past few years. Both times, troops were stationed on the border. It always looked like a war was about to break out. However, for so many years, there has been no big-scale war, and it was just a small-scale fight between the two sides.
Several times later, it was Yu Boyang, the Marquis of Zhengyuan, who led Chen Bing in front of the Southern Tang Dynasty.
The territory of the Southern Tang Dynasty was not large, much smaller than that of the Jin Dynasty, and its national power was also less. However, the Southern Tang Dynasty was located in the land of the southern barbarians, and there were some things that were different from the Central Plains that should not be underestimated.
It is said that more than twenty years ago, generals from the Jin Dynasty also fought against the country, but after fighting there, they could not adapt to the environment there.
The soldiers were either bitten by poisonous insects or were unable to adapt to the environment and suffered from vomiting and diarrhea.
There were also reasons for the vassal states, so the Southern Expedition came to nothing. After that, the two countries had peace talks and married each other's noble daughters, but then there were disputes again. Now the purpose of Chen Bing of the Jin Dynasty is in front of the border of the Southern Tang Dynasty.
It became to prevent Southern Tang from attacking.
Fortunately, the Southern Tang Dynasty had taken care of themselves in recent years and had no intention of fighting. The two sides fought a few small-scale battles and then retreated.
Yu Lanxuan's shop has some things from the Southern Tang Dynasty, and it also benefited from the help of Zhengyuan Hou. Although he is no longer here, some of the help left at the border is still there, and will help Yu Lanxuan's Xiyi Zhai.
Bring in some new goods from Southern Tang.
The people at the border, both from the Southern Tang Dynasty and the Jin Dynasty, have been peaceful for so many years, and they are doing business with each other, and they seem to be enjoying themselves.
"No wonder the things in the Southern Tang Dynasty are completely different from those in the Jiangnan. I have seen the things in the capital before, but I rarely see this kind. I thought I was a little less knowledgeable." Leshi smiled and reached out to take it again.
I looked at a pair of waist ornaments. They were very delicately woven and looked very beautiful. They shone in the sunlight, as if they were sprinkled with gold powder.
"Is this also an ornament from the Southern Tang Dynasty?"
Yu Xijiao looked at it and said, "Yes."
Leshi was interested in the objects of the Southern Tang Dynasty and specially selected some. Then Yu Xijiao accompanied her to other stores to look at, and also helped her grandmother, uncle, second uncle, aunt and several cousins who were far away in the south of the Yangtze River.
My cousin also bought some.
After finishing shopping, I had lunch outside before going back.
"Jiao'er, I'll take you back first, and then I'll go take a look." Leshi was in no hurry to go back. It was a rare opportunity to walk around the capital to see how early the weather was.
"Second aunt, I will accompany you." Yu Xijiao said.
Leshi shook his hand and said with a serious face: "Your injury is not healed yet, so you can't overwork yourself now. You have to go back and rest first."
"Second aunt!" Yu Xijiao still wanted to refuse, but Leshi sent her to the carriage without saying a word.
Yu Xijiao had no choice but to say goodbye to Le's family, and then the carriage drove around, preparing to return to the mansion of Princess An and the eldest princess.
Yu Xijiao opened the curtain and said goodbye to Le Shi. She glanced at the corner of her eyes and suddenly her eyes froze, and she pulled the curtain almost down with trembling fingers.
"Girl!" Qingyue noticed something strange about her.
"Let the carriage turn to the alley on the right." Yu Xijiao took a deep breath, and a flash of excitement flashed in her eyes. Was the person she saw just now the person she imagined?
Yu Lizhu got off the carriage and went directly to the study in tears.
In the study, Prime Minister Yu was dealing with affairs. When he heard that his second daughter came in crying, he waved his hands for his staff to go down.
When the staff left, they met Yu Lizhu at the door and saluted her one by one, but Yu Lizhu ignored them.
From Yu Lizhu's point of view, there is no difference between Yu Xiang's staff and the servants in the mansion. They are all raised by the mansion, so they are not gentlemen.
Several staff members looked at me and I looked at you, smiled helplessly, and turned around to leave.
"Father!" Yu Lizhu saluted Yu Xiang as soon as she entered the door, and tears fell again before she could say anything.
"What's wrong? Who bullied you? Get up and talk first." Yu Xiang said gently. He is the biological brother of the Jade Queen. Like the Jade Queen, he seems to be a person with a peaceful temperament.
The Jade Queen did not give birth to any heirs, and the Jade Prime Minister was nothing to fight for. There was always a saying in the court that he was a good old man. No matter whether it was King Duan, King Yong or King Yi, they were all very polite to him.
"Father, my daughter went out on the street today, but I didn't expect to be regarded as an assassin. Even though the daughter mentioned her father's name, she actually... actually asked her to go to the Penal Department Yamen to make it clear whether there was an assassination." Yu Lizhu stood wiping her tears.
Zhi said angrily, "Father, send someone to kill that man and kill his entire family."
"What are you talking about? Which family is this?" Yu Xiang frowned and asked carefully.
"Father, I don't know which family it belongs to. I accidentally dropped the sachet in the private room and landed it on the carriage below. The person in the carriage actually said that I assassinated him. Who did he think he was and that he deserved it?
I'll do the assassination." Thinking of what happened just now, Yu Lizhu felt ashamed and angry, especially when she kicked her in the end, which was simply a great shame and humiliation.
Yu Lizhu has never suffered such a big loss.
"What kind of person?" Yu Xiang was also a little unhappy. His daughter, no matter who she was, had to give him this face. Besides, when it came to her daughter's family, there was no right to assassinate her.
"I don't know him. I don't know where he comes from. He doesn't know the rules of the capital. He doesn't even care when he hears his father's name. At first glance, he looks like a reckless man who doesn't know anything." Yu Lizhu scolded him.
He said, although he is as handsome as an immortal, she will not let him go if he embarrasses her so much.
"Not Your Highness?" Yu Xiang frowned again.
"It's not your highness. I have met all three of your highnesses. How could I not recognize them? This barbarian, who I don't know where he came from, dared to do this to me, leading a large group of guards to brazenly show off on the street without saying a word.
, and disturbed the people." Yu Lizhu thought for a while, and specifically added the meaning of "disturbing the people."
In the past, she would occasionally hear her father say these two words.
"Unscrupulous publicity on the street?" Yu Xiang suddenly had a bad feeling.
"Yes, there is a sissy boy next to me who says that the prince is not the prince." Yu Lizhu mocked, "I don't know where the prince came from. I have never seen him before. It must be nonsense."
