Chapter 43 Inquiring About the Mei Family

"Tao'er, take down your crotch and open the window."

After a long time, the light returned to the room again, and Yun Chuxue sat at the desk, holding her head and lost in thought.

The birthday gift her mother gave her was a picture, like... a city layout map?

Could it be that he wanted to give her a city?

It seems like she is overthinking...

"Miss, it's cold sitting here. Go sit by the brazier."

Looking at Yun Chuxue's slightly red hands, Tao'er reminded her in a low voice. She knew that the girl was thinking about something, and she didn't know what was written on the silk.

Yun Chuxue carefully put away the silk and got up and walked towards the brazier. Maybe she didn't see it clearly, so she should wait until night to take a closer look.

No matter what it was, the most important thing was that she felt her mother's feelings.

"Tao'er, put your things away. Now ask Uncle Chang to take you to the Xicheng warehouse to get the Burmese silk. Take the cedar picture with you and send it to Jinxiufang. You tell Jinxiufang that you must embroider it well, and the Burmese silk must be done well."

Don’t worry about it, just talk if it’s not enough, and also… ask about Yunxiu from the side.”

"...Okay, slave, I'll go right away."

The eldest girl likes cedar the most, so the cedar picture was drawn by the eldest girl. The young lady probably wanted to embroider it as a gift to the eldest girl. As for the silk, she didn't ask until the girl told her.

Watching Tao'er leave, Yun Chuxue fell into deep thought again. Whether it was the mysterious man who poisoned her or...Yunxiu...it seemed that contact with Jinxiufang was necessary.

"Miss, Miss Six has been locked in the room since she came back from Yun Mansion. Tao'er also sent her out. No, will everything be okay?"

Mother Li stood with Yun Yinling under the eaves of Yun Chuxue's house and said with a worried look.

Yun Yinling looked at the closed door and sighed: "Sixth girl has never had expectations for them, so she won't be disappointed. It's just that people are not grass and trees, who can be ruthless. Today she suddenly asked her mother... is she still a human being?"

Children, I also hope that someone will care for me and be loved."

"Fortunately, the sixth lady has a big girl to hurt her!"

"Mama Li, go and ask about her mother's affairs. It's her mother after all. It's only natural for her to want to know about her mother after giving birth to her."

"Yes, I will go in a moment. If Master Mei Shijiu hadn't come forward this time and happened to save Miss Liu, or if Miss Six had said that she had escaped into Buddhism, the old lady and the others would not have let Miss Liu out of the house so easily.

Yes, it’s just that in this way, although Miss Six has escaped a disaster, it will be difficult for her to propose marriage in the future."

Even if you return to secular life, it will be difficult to get married, Mother Li said while shaking her head.

Yun Yinling showed a look of helplessness, and finally smiled and said: "This girl has never thought about getting married. She...has no such thoughts at all, maybe she is still young, that's all, the matter is no longer necessary.

Tangled, Liu Yatou is different from ordinary women. She wants to live freely, and if she can get her wish, she will have no regrets. You go and do your work, and I will go see what Liu Yatou is doing bored in the room, so don't get bored."

Mother Li knew that her master asked her to inquire about Miss Sixth's mother, so she nodded and turned around and left.

Yun Yinling had just walked to the door of Yun Chuxue's house, when Yun Chuxue opened the door and was about to come out.

"aunt?"

"Mother Li said that you had locked yourself in the house for a long time, and Tao'er went out again. There was a charcoal fire burning in the house. Auntie was worried and came over to take a look."

Yun Chuxue quickly held Yun Yinling's hand and said, "I'm just going to find my aunt. It's cold outside. Auntie, come in quickly."

Seeing that nothing was wrong, it seemed that they were really worrying too much. Yun Yingling felt relieved instantly and walked into the house.

"Do you have a problem with your aunt?"

"There's nothing wrong. I just wanted to ask my aunt about Mei Mansion."

My aunt knows something about the conditions of the wealthy families in the capital.

"Mei Mansion? What are you asking about? You're not asking about...that Ninth Young Master, are you?" Yun Yingling couldn't help but look at Yun Chuxue. Isn't this girl... aroused?

It is indeed normal to think like this. A young girl is pregnant, not to mention the Ninth Young Master who all the women in the capital want to marry, and they helped her today.

One look at Yun Yinling's expression and Yun Chuxue knew she had misunderstood.

"Auntie is overthinking. I'm just curious. There are many young men in the Mei family, so why is Mei Shijiu so valued in the Mei family?"

Just curious? This girl rarely chats about other people's family affairs. Yun Yinling smiled and chatted with Yun Chuxue, "There are seven legitimate sons and three concubines in the three houses of the Mei family. Mei Shijiu ranks third in the family.

Born in Dafang, he has been talented and talented since he was a child. He was accepted as a disciple by the old man and the old man at the age of six. When he was ten years old, he stood out from many children from aristocratic families and won the first prize in the hunting competition in the palace. He can be said to be a versatile man in both civil and military affairs.

He never joined the hunt again..."

"No wonder the Mei family cares about them. I heard my aunt say that there are ten young masters in the Mei family... What are their names?"

I originally wanted to ask the Fourth Young Master directly what his name was, but I thought it was a bit abrupt.

Are you really asking about Mei Shijiu? Yun Yinling is inevitably a little confused.

"This aunt can't tell the whole story. She only knows that the young masters of the Mei family are all generations of the generation with the Chinese character for "shi" in their names. Speaking of the Mei family...it must be quite lively recently. Do you still remember the second young lady of the Mei family, Mei Fangfei?"

Yun Chuxue nodded. She had met her at Mei Mansion three years ago and still remembered her elegant gestures during the tea ceremony.

"She will marry into Prince Su's palace before the New Year."

"Prince Su's Mansion?" Prince Su seems to have just been given the title of king.

She really hadn't paid much attention to these noble people's affairs before, but she had only paid a little attention to them in the past three years of doing business.

"Well, I heard that King Su's mother-in-law, Concubine Duan, personally came to propose marriage. The Mei family didn't seem to agree at first, but I don't know why later, it turned out that the Holy Emperor personally granted the marriage. This wedding must be very grand and lively."

However, these noble people's affairs have nothing to do with them, so it's better not to talk nonsense.

Yun Chuxue didn't take it too seriously. She just wanted to find out whether the 'Fourth Master' mentioned by the owner of Jinxiufang could be the fourth son of the Mei family.

Forget it, my aunt is sensitive, so if you ask more questions, you must think more. Later, she will go outside to inquire.

"The Mei family is marrying a daughter, and the royal family is marrying a daughter-in-law. It's really a big event. By the way, auntie, we left in a hurry and didn't bring many things. Just add whatever is missing. Don't worry about the money. I can earn it. I'll take care of the house in the village.

Uncle Chang asked Uncle Li and the others to help take care of it, and there is no need to move anything. Whenever we want to live there, we can stay there for a few days."

When she made money from the Burmese silk business, she bought a few acres of land nearby and built a small village.

It doesn't need to be too big, there are flowers, grass, fields, houses, fruit trees and fish ponds, so that my aunt can take care of herself in her old age in the future. Although this city is prosperous, her aunt likes the quiet time in the village.

Yun Yinling looked at Yun Chuxue, who was smiling and talking sweetly in front of her, and felt heartbroken again. She had to worry about everything for herself since she was a child, and now she still has to think about her.

"Sixth girl, tell the truth, did you hire Uncle Chang?"

"...Well, I know I can't hide it from my aunt. Aunt, I am doing business outside, and sometimes there are things that are inconvenient for Taoer. Also, Uncle Chang has agreed that their whole family will come to our place to help in the future. Although this house is not

It’s big, but Guang Taoer and Mother Li are too busy.”

Yun Yinling pulled Yun Chuxue and stroked her hair, "Auntie knows that you are sensible and independent, so you can make your own decisions on these matters. As for money, I also saved a little money in the early years. Although it is not much, it is enough for my old age.

You don't have to worry about aunt, just take care of yourself, Liu girl, just do whatever you want, aunt has figured it out, as long as you live comfortably."

"Auntie, you treat me the best in this world. Even if Chuxue doesn't care about herself, she can't ignore you."

Yun Yinling looked at Yun Chuxue who looked serious and couldn't help but said: "Silly girl."
