20. Chapter 20

What was the rude thing about the Minister of Rites saying this? It was probably just to think that Yuzhu had been a wife and there was nothing to be shy about. But Yuzhu didn't want to say more in front of the noble man standing beside him. She just lowered her head slightly at the right time, and just turned around and said goodbye when she was asked shyly.

At this time, Yuzhu's carriage was also very lively.

Just now, Mrs. Ruiguo rewarded Yuzhu with many satin cloth, hairpins and other items, and asked her to take it back to the female family in the mansion, so Jue'er was holding a gift box in the carriage with the coachman. Yuzhu rushed to the carriage, and no one supported her for a while. At the moment when Yuzhu got on the carriage, the horse took a few steps forward with playful steps. Yuzhu's body tilted slightly, and her arm, which had been carved for two hours, was already tired and soft, especially her injured right arm, which was not strong at all. She staggered and fell from the carriage.

When Yuzhu lost her balance, she secretly screamed in her heart. She had no time to hold her injured arm in her chest, thinking about not letting her arm get hurt again. However, this fall was beyond evasion, and Jue'er, who had no time to turn around, screamed out.

Yuzhu closed her eyes tightly, hoping to not fall too much, and her body that was quickly falling was suddenly hugged by a pair of iron arms, slowing down.

Yuzhu opened her eyes in surprise and looked at her. When she opened her eyes, her face was pressing against the dark court uniform. When she looked up slightly, she saw a pair of snail eyes staring at her with a slight tilt corner of her eyes.

Yuzhu leaned on the iron and struggled to get up quickly. But how could she get up if the person holding her didn't let go?

Taiwei Yao also admired the embarrassment of the person in his arms, so he raised his arm and put the jade bead back on the carriage. He spoke, "Please be careful..."

Perhaps it was because Tao Shen's medicine was cured. At this time, the man's voice was no longer as hoarse as before, and he returned to his original magnetic and low voice. Because he was too close, the heat of the speech penetrated into Yuzhu's ears, making people unable to help but turn their heads and pull them away from him.

Looking at Yuzhu's dodging action, the man had no expression on his face, but his eyes were slightly mocking: "Miss Liu, don't you thank me?"

This made sense. Yuzhu was about to thank him, but Young Master Yao had lost interest in listening. He turned around and walked back to the door of the mansion. He said to the Minister of Rites who looked a little wide open, "Please ask Lord Li to lead the way..."

So the group disappeared in front of the vermilion palace gate.

Jue'er didn't care about packing the gift boxes at this time, so she jumped onto the carriage: "Miss Six, are you okay? Did you touch that arm?"

Yuzhu gently kneaded her slightly sour hands and shook her head: "I'm fine, tell the driver to drive around quickly."

Jue'er still felt scared and said, "I was scared to death just now. If you really fall down, you will fall a lot! You can't get on the carriage by yourself next time... But that second young master is really good. The door of the mansion is very far from the carriage, how did he run over to catch you?"

Yuzhu didn't want to talk more about this, so she just said softly: "When I go back later, my mother asks me, don't talk about these details, just say that the repaired jade bracelet is very appreciated by Mrs. Ruiguo."

Jue'er nodded obediently, and then kneaded Yuzhu's arms...

When I got back, the brocade gift box in the carriage made Mrs. Wang's heart that had been so stuffy for a long time suddenly brightened. She just cared about opening the gift box and looked at it, but she really didn't have time to ask anything.

She was originally worried that at the birthday party of Mrs. Ruiguo for a few days, her outfit was not decent. Master Guan asked for some money, but was stared at her and said that the money was not smooth now, and some shops still paid for the monthly money. It was too unreasonable for the boss to buy satin for free. He only chose the old clothes to clean and clean them. What kind of food and clothing are the merchants comparing with those noble people?

Nowadays, all kinds of brocades are all available, which saves the worries of being rude and face at the birthday party, and makes me feel very comfortable for a while.

He only greeted his five daughters and also picked a few pieces of cute fabrics, which were called for tailors to make clothes.

However, Mr. Xiao got a loophole and personally asked about the situation of the sixth girl going to the Minister's Mansion.

Yuzhu smiled and said that she had repaired the jade bracelet. Nothing was mentioned next to it, nor did she mention that Mrs. Ruiguo wanted her to become General Wen's concubine.

Mr. Xiao was relieved when he heard this and said, "Since this is the case, I don't know this time. Next time there will be such a thing, you have to tell me first, don't listen to your mother's random words. A girl's house goes to repair the jade bracelets. Is it true that the girl from our Xiao family is also a jade craftsman?"

Mrs. Wang was not happy to hear it, and said back, "You are noble and can be a father, so I, the one who is a mother, won't think about her? There are so many jade craftsmen in the capital, why does Mrs. Ruiguo call her alone? It is obvious that General Wen has fallen in love with Yuzhu! He is better than having his sister come forward to have a private meeting with her. This is the intention to take Yuzhu into the mansion. If you don't have such a good marriage, will your sixth girl be ready to marry the emperor as a house?"

Mr. Xiao said angrily: "The eyelids are so shallow that they can't pretend to be a drop of water! But I forgot my mother's instructions before leaving. Xiao Liu's marriage was back to Yushi Town and then discussed it again, and don't engage her in casually in the capital!"

Mrs. Wang stared at her and wanted to say something again, but Yuzhu smiled and handed a hairpin and said, "Mom, look, this hairpin is just right for the fabric on your hand..."

When Mrs. Wang saw that it was not, it was very beautiful, and the inlaid pearls were also very round, so she shouted and asked the jade beads to look through them again to see if there was any better match.

In the next few days, General Wen's mansion would not be sent again, but General Wen wrote a letter to Yuzhu himself.

The general meaning is that he has been busy with banquets in the capital recently and is plagued by mundane affairs. He drinks all day long and cannot accompany his lady to travel to the capital for a while. He just heard that Miss Six intends to participate in the jade carving competition. He should pay attention to making arrangements for the lady and hopes to take good care of his health. He will come to visit soon.

Although General Wen was not seen, the eldest young master Xiao Shan came back several times.

As a son, he is naturally better than his son. He gave his mother some pocket money and alleviated Mrs. Wang's urgent need.

Although Mrs. Wang suspected that her son might have given the sixth purse, she was not good enough to save her son's face. She was in charge of the capital, so she would never make any extraordinary scandals with her adopted daughter! As for those little tricks, she turned a blind eye.

The days in the capital are naturally more enjoyable than the small towns in the northwest border. Although Mrs. Wang is short of monthly money, she still has to visit the streets in the capital.

So they took their two daughters and asked them to wear gauze hats to cover their faces. After taking two mothers and their respective maids to accompany them, the group went to the West Market early to stroll.

However, the crowds in the capital were crowded and they were squeezed a little tired after just a while. So Xiao Zhen'er suggested that the group went to a jewelry shop next to it that looked less crowded, and took a break.

But after entering the shop, I immediately knew that there were few people. The shop was elegant in style and the jewelry outfits inside were different from those on the market. The quality was all amazing treasures.

The shop's staff were very attentive and polite. Seeing that these female guests were all decent brocade, they saw that they were also rich women, and immediately presented fragrant tea desserts, asked them to sit down and rest, and then presented display boards with velvet cloth, with various colors of jewelry, and they asked them to choose one by one.

Mrs. Wang is a face-loving person. After being treated so diligently by others, if she doesn't buy one or two pieces, she will be really despised on her face. In addition, those jewelry are very popular, and she is also very happy from the bottom of her heart for a moment. She couldn't help but choose the whole set of heads and faces.

But when the clerk reported the price, Mrs. Wang's face suddenly became less beautiful, and she said with a tense face: "My mother's family is also in the jewelry business. I can tell the price of these hairpins with just a look. Are you a black store? The price is so high, but it is impossible to rob it? This price must be killed, otherwise I won't buy it!"

The guy's face was not very good-looking, especially after hearing Mrs. Wang's words with a clear northwest accent, the contempt in his eyes became even more serious:

"Madam, this place is a capital city, and the nobles are everywhere, so it is hard to ask nobles to drink tea with some untouchables. This business is divided into three or six levels because of the customers. For example, our Yuebaozhai is a guest who specializes in serving the kings and nobles. The nobles do not ask the price, but only see if this product is the only one in the world. For this unique product, even if it is a few times the price, they don't care. So if you think the price is too expensive, you can't afford it, but move to the shop next door, where you can buy the whole piece of head and face with a penny!"

Mrs. Wang has been the daughter of a wealthy business family since she was a child. After marrying into the Xiao family, she was also pampered. She didn't expect that one day she would be disliked as a poor man? She was so angry that her face suddenly changed and she started to argue with the shopkeeper loudly.

But at this moment, the rattle bell hanging at the door was slammed by the raised curtain. First, four tall guards entered one after another, and then a luxuriously dressed man brought a petite woman into the shop.

The arrogant guy was stunned when he saw the person coming, and then immediately knelt down to pay his respects, wishing to creep the stone slabs on the ground level: "Taiwei Yao, why did you come to the door in person? I'll pay you a favor."

No wonder the guy is so attentive. Although Taiwei Yao has always liked to ride horses through the streets and everyone in the capital has seen the style of Taiwei, he has never been involved in these merchant shops. The various supplies of the Yao family's owner's house are specially made by special people. Never do not flow through the market. Even if the shop like Yuebaozhai, which is used to seeing the princes, suddenly welcomes the second young master of the Yao family, he becomes a little nervous.

Mrs. Wang, who was quarreling on the side, was so scared that she closed her mouth when the solemn guards entered the door. She had seen this Taiwei Yao at the city gate, and naturally knew who he was. As long as she thought that she might have cursed loudly, Mrs. Wang wanted to swallow her tongue immediately and stopped cursing immediately.

Yao Shao entered the store and was still as calm as usual. He ignored the guy who was kneeling on the ground. He came to a seat, lifted up his long stroller and sat down, and then said to the woman following behind him: "Go and see, there is a same style."

The woman was very cute. She looked only twelve or thirteen years old. She was full of wealth and her eyes looked like an apricot kernel. She just half-pouted and glanced back and forth around the store’s goods price, and said deflatedly: “Second brother, there is no such store either!”

Yuzhu sat next to Mrs. Wang, originally trying to persuade her mother to leave early, but the second young master who was still in dispersed suddenly came. Looking at this situation, he should have taken the young girl to buy accessories. But now he is sitting opposite him. If he leaves without even calling, it seems too rude. But if he goes to greet him rashly, he looks at the man's posture of not even looking at him, he is afraid he will be pushed back coldly...

Just as she was in a dilemma, Mrs. Wang relieved her worries and walked up to salute and said, "I didn't expect that I met Taiwei Yao here. It's really a blessing for the civilian woman to have three lives!"

Yao Muye took the fragrant tea handed over by his friend, blew the tea foam casually, glanced at Mrs. Wang and said, "I wonder who Mrs. Wang is?"

Mrs. Wang hurriedly said: "The civilian wife is the daughter-in-law of the Yushi Xiao family in the northwest. Concubine Xiao, who is favored by the emperor in the palace, is the two daughters of the civilian wife. The Grand Marshal doesn't remember it. You passed by our mansion in the northwest!"

The Taiwei didn't agree with him after hearing this, and still blew the tea foam. His handsome face was filled with indifferent clouds and breezes. Mrs. Wang, who was kneeling on the ground, was so boring that she actually made the guy beside him pick up a joke.

Seeing this, Yuzhu knew that if she didn't say anything, her mother would not be able to get up and step down. So she gently lifted up her veil and took off her hat and put it aside to greet her: "The civilian girl has seen the Taiwei. Since the Taiwei is busy choosing and buying, my mother and I are inconvenient to disturb the Taiwei Qingjing, so I left. Please ask the Taiwei to do it yourself..."

After saying that, when he got up, he helped Mrs. Wang up and prepared to leave this place of failure.

At this time, the Grand Marshal put down the teacup, glanced at Yuzhu, and slowly spoke: "It turns out to be Miss Six. I didn't pay attention to Miss here for a while. Please forgive me."
