With her father and brother banished, and her engagement to the marquisate broken, everyone eagerly awaited to see Xiao Jiuyue become a laughingstock.
Facing her frail grandmother, her beauti...
Chapter 472 Blame the Xiao Family
Chenjiamazhuang.
"No, I don't want to leave Shengjing and go to Tinglan." When Fan heard Master Chen say that he was packing up his things to return to his hometown Tinglan, Fan refused a thousand times in her heart.
Tinglan is located in a remote area, even more remote than Hongdu. It is close to the State of Yongzhao. It was there that Master Chen learned the skill of raising horses!
“Pah.”
Manor Master Chen slapped her directly and said, "Bitch, who made you so useless that you can't get close to the Xiao family? Now, we can only leave!"
His son had done something wrong with the guards, and he stuffed a lot of money into the bank, but it was like throwing money into a bottomless pit. Others told him that he had missed the target!
Therefore, Master Chen set his sights on the Xiao family. After all, Fan had given birth to two children for the Xiao family, but who knew that they were of no use at all.
"I..." Fan was about to say something, but Manor Master Chen glared at her fiercely and said, "If you don't have the ability to climb up to the Xiao family, then just follow me!"
Master Chen is old, and his son is his lifeblood.
Fan was frightened by the look in Manor Master Chen's eyes. She didn't dare to say anything. She rolled her eyes and tried to sneak out. But before she left the house, she was caught by Manor Master Chen. He beat her up and said, "Behave yourself, or I'll kill you!"
There was murderous intent in Chen Zhuangzi's eyes. His son was rescued. Although he had to leave Shengjing, at least his son was still alive. If he offended the Xiao family, not to mention his son, even his life might be in danger.
Fan was lying on the ground dying, tears of regret falling like pearls from a broken string. She hated why the Xiao family agreed to the divorce in the first place?
Otherwise, she wouldn't be so pitiful now!
It’s all the Xiao family’s fault!
Fan's hands clenched tightly. When she heard the maid say that Shang Lan had been made the legitimate wife, she spat out a mouthful of blood...
Shang family troupe.
Xiao Jiuyue looked at the first day's rehearsal and was immediately very optimistic. He said, "You have performed the story of White Snake very well. Let's continue with this. There is also the story of the five ladies paying their respects to their birthday. Although the story is a bit old-fashioned, the elderly will love it!"
"The song Thirty Thousand Miles sung by Xiaoyun is even better. Just change Chang'an to Shengjing." Xiao Jiuyue was still not satisfied. The Shang Family Troupe, which was almost bankrupt and broke up, has been revitalized with the support of one play script after another.
When she was in Hongdu before, even Miss Mengzhi couldn't compare to her. In the whole Hongdu, everyone wanted to hear Lark sing and Xiaoyun sing "Three Thousand Miles"!
"Don't worry, Miss." The Shang troupe leader blushed and said, "Our Shang family troupe will definitely make money for you!"
"You are not making money for me, you are making money for yourselves." Xiao Jiuyue corrected. Although she took the profit, she had clear rewards and punishments for all the members of the Shang family, whether they were on the stage or off the stage.
Just like Fengchunlou, with a set of reward systems, those people work for themselves and are particularly motivated.
"Yes, to make money for myself." The smile on the corners of the Shang troupe's mouth was already stretched to the roots of his ears. He said: "Miss, just pick a good day and you can start singing!"
"Okay, I'll ask Hua Qing to pick a date tomorrow." Xiao Jiuyue said, and left the Shang family troupe. Anyway, the renovations and arrangements on the Shang family troupe's side were all done by Hua Qing, so there was no need to worry about the layout being bad or something.
In Hua Qing's words, this position in the Shang family troupe is definitely a good time to make a lot of money!
"Luo Kui, go to the Treasure Pavilion." Xiao Jiuyue got on the carriage and planned to go to the Treasure Pavilion to pick out some good things to give to Hua Qing for her wedding!
"Okay," Luo Kui agreed, and after a few words with Dong Gui and Jin Wen, the carriage driver, she became curious. "Miss, the jewelry in the Treasure Pavilion must be even more beautiful now, right? The set of gold and jade jewelry that Madam brought back last time was really beautiful. The jade color was so transparent, it didn't look old-fashioned at all!"
"There are also pearl ones." Luo Kui looked at the headdress in Xiao Jiuyue's hair and said, "Young lady is beautiful, and any jewelry will look good on her. However, I think the pearls make her look even better!"
"When you get married, I'll give you a set of pearls." Xiao Jiuyue chuckled, leaning against the carriage, and said slowly: "Hurry up and find one, and then buy them together for you as a dowry."
"No, I can't just marry someone randomly just for this little dowry, right?" Luo Kui tilted her head and said, "Miss, I think it's good to be with you. It's also good not to have to marry. I don't have to serve my parents-in-law, and I don't have to have children!"
Luo Kui had seen people die after giving birth before, with big bellies, it was so hard.
Xiao Jiuyue smiled but said nothing. This was South Vietnam, not the modern era, so some advanced ideas could not be said. However, Luo Kui had been with her for a long time, and had been influenced by her so much that her thoughts had become somewhat unusual.
"Miss, Lianxin and I have agreed that I will be your dowry maid." Luo Kui said with a smile. Following Xiao Jiuyue around, she was often teased by Xiao Jiuyue, and her skin had become thicker. When talking about marriage, Luo Kui didn't feel uncomfortable except for blushing a little.
Xiao Jiuyue glanced at her and said nothing. Ai Qiushi was still in Hongdu, so he was not in a hurry to get married.
This was Xiao Jiuyue’s first visit to the Treasure Pavilion.
The previous Xiao Jiuyue was aloof and not interested in these things.
"Miss, what kind of jewelry would you like to buy? Please go upstairs." The shopkeeper was a middle-aged woman, still charming and graceful. When she saw Xiao Jiuyue, she took the initiative to introduce herself: "My last name is Feng, and everyone calls me Shopkeeper Feng."
Shopkeeper Feng was very good at dancing with his sleeves. As soon as he saw Xiao Jiuyue, he knew that she was not an ordinary person. The jewelry and headwear on the first floor were all for ordinary girls. He probably wouldn't even look at the girl in front of him who was as beautiful as a fairy.
"Okay." Xiao Jiuyue went straight to the second floor. Unlike the jewellery displayed on the counter on the first floor, the jewellery on the second floor was exquisite and gorgeous at first glance, and looked like a work of art.
"Shopkeeper Feng, give me a look at this gold bracelet inlaid with jade." Xiao Jiuyue fell in love with this gold bracelet inlaid with jade at first sight. Hua Qing liked gold and shiny things, and it looked even more extraordinary when embellished with jade.
"Miss, you have really good taste. This gold bracelet is carved with patterns and inlaid with jade. You don't have to worry about it falling off. This is something only the masters of our Treasure Pavilion can make."
Shopkeeper Feng took one look at the gold bracelet and introduced it with a smile, praising it as unique in the world, from the meaning of fortune and luck in the carvings to the color of the jade.
"Shopkeeper Feng, what new bracelet have you bought? I want to give it to my elder." The lady, who was escorted in, walked in and immediately took a liking to the bracelet in Xiao Jiuyue's hand. She said, "Shopkeeper Feng, this jade bracelet is nice. I want it."
