Chapter 48 Leaving the House

Su Yuexi took a brush and wrote the words carefully.

Some hugs.

I guess these ancient people would have thought that these crooked simplified Chinese characters were missing arms and legs.

But it doesn't matter, as long as you can understand it together.

After drying the paper, she folded the paper and put it in an envelope, and then used the paint on the table to cover the envelope to prevent others from opening it and reading it.

Su Yuexi is a thoughtful person. She made the content of the letter a little vague and used homophonic words instead.

If this letter is accidentally circulated, people who don't know the situation may think that some child wrote it randomly.

But if Lord Su had seen it, he would definitely understand that what she was talking about was about their Su family.

After putting the envelope into the space, Su Yuexi planned to take a trip to the street.

She was leaving the house tomorrow. Not only did she want to find a messenger, but she also planned to take the opportunity to exchange the banknotes for silver.

She now has 1,500 taels of silver notes in her hand, which she can exchange into cash to buy some things to put in the space.

At least she went to the market yesterday. Now she knows where to go to buy things.

However, Su Yuexi didn't want to tell the Marquis and his wife that she was going out.

It wasn't that he was afraid that they would stop him, but that he was afraid that they would arrange for a bunch of servants to follow him.

She was there to stock up on goods, how could she get away from so many people.

She wanted to see if she could leave the house in a big way.

If she leaves the house alone, that won't work.

The concierge would definitely find it strange, and if he ran to report it, it would be bad if the Marquis knew about it.

When a young lady goes out, she should at least have a maid by her side.

So she planned to take Tingzhu with her. This girl is more obedient.

So, Su Yuexi brought Tingzhu with her.

Pretending to be natural, he arrived at the gate of the Hou Mansion.

The concierge and guards here were not surprised when they saw her.

"Hello, Miss Third." The concierge also took the initiative to say hello to her.

Seeing this, Su Yuexi felt secretly happy.

She said to the porter: "I want to go to the street, go and bring me a sedan."

"Third girl, please wait a moment. I will call the sedan bearer right now." The porter left quickly as he said that.

Su Yuexi still felt a little nervous.

But after a while, two servants carrying a small brown sedan came to the door and stopped.

Su Yuexi breathed a sigh of relief.

I didn't expect it to go so smoothly!

"Go to the market." Su Yuexi said as she sat in the sedan.

The servant agreed, lifted up the sedan and left, with Tingzhu following closely outside the sedan.

Su Yuexi sat in the sedan, thinking about how to buy the supplies and put them into the space without anyone noticing.

A feasible plan was carefully considered.

When she arrived at the market, she got off the sedan chair.

They gave them a reward and asked the bearer to wait for them to come back at the street corner.

Then, the master and servant entered the market.

Su Yuexi remembered very clearly that the teahouse where Wenren Qiuchan took her to last time happened to be next to a restaurant.

Coincidentally, the bank is also nearby.

When she came outside the teahouse, she pretended that she wanted to go to the teahouse and listen to a book.

He said to Tingzhu, "I'll go to the teahouse and wait while you buy me some Xu Ji's cakes and preserved fruits."

Xu Ji is not close to here, and it takes him as long as he can to burn incense every time.

"Yes, girl." Tingzhu doubted that he was there.

She took the silver barley that Su Yuexi handed her and left as ordered.

Su Yuexi quickly walked to the restaurant next to her and booked three private rooms next to each other.

There are many distinguished guests in the capital, so I reserved a private room because I didn’t want anyone to disturb me.

Therefore, the private room is very private and closed.

She asked the store owner to cook three tables of the best food in the store and put them on the table in advance. At noon there will be distinguished guests coming.

The store immediately understood that this meant that no one wanted to be disturbed, and the customer did not want to be seen yet.

Seeing that the other party paid the full amount with gold leaves, the store owner responded repeatedly.

Su Yuexi quickly went to a nearby bank and exchanged all the 1,500 taels of silver notes in her hand for cash.

A few taels of silver were deducted as a handling fee.

There was a lot of silver, so Su Yuexi asked the store owner to help her deliver the silver to a nearby restaurant.

Because they were close and saw that she was a thin official lady, the shopkeeper agreed.

A boy carrying a wooden box containing silver followed Su Yuexi to the private room in the restaurant.

When the people in the restaurant saw it, they just thought it was some kind of cake that Su Yuexi brought home, and didn't think much about it.

Su Yuexi rewarded the boy with a tael of silver, including the price of the wooden box. Then he told him to leave.

She closed the door and put all the less than 1,500 taels of silver into the private room.

Then he slowly went to the teahouse next to him.

She sat directly at an empty table in the lobby on the first floor and ordered a cup of tea.

After a while, Tingzhu came back.

"Girl, these are your favorite pastries and preserved fruits." Tingzhu said while holding the paper bag.

Su Yuexi nodded with a smile.

I also ordered a cup of tea for Tingzhu. "Sit down and drink together."

"Girl, you can't do this." Tingzhu waved his hands repeatedly.

"It doesn't matter. You just ran so far, so you should drink some water." Su Yuexi said.

Tingzhu then sat down next to the stool.

The master and servant sat here and drank tea, then got up and left.
