Chapter 257: Fleeing for fear of crime!
In the evening, after Shen Wuyou and Shen Changan and Su came back from the shop, Su chose to live in a courtyard by herself, and Xu Zhiyi persuaded her that there were many rooms in a courtyard anyway, so Su could live together.
Su: "Zhiyi, no matter what, mother has decided to live alone in a courtyard. If you are afraid that I will be lonely, then find two maids to live with me in my courtyard!"
"You two live in the same courtyard, and your mother is the mother-in-law... I won't bother you anymore!"
Xu Zhiyi: "Okay then, I'll ask two maids to live in with you."
Su: "Oh, that's right!"
The mother and daughter chatted for a while before Xu Zhiyi returned to her yard. Seeing that there was no movement in the yard, Xu Zhiyi walked towards the master bedroom curiously. As soon as she entered, she saw that the door on the left side of the small living room was open.
Xu Zhiyi walked over and saw Shen Wuyou and Shen Changan making the bed:
"What are you doing? You don't want to live here, do you? Aren't there many rooms to choose from outside? Normally, this room is for the personal maid to stay in, so that the master can get up at night if something happens."
Shen Wuyou: "My lady, you have us, you don't need any personal maid to keep watch at night, we can do it"
"The most important thing is that among all the rooms, this is the only one closest to my wife. There is only a main room between the two doors."
Hearing this, Xu Zhiyi held his forehead helplessly: "You two, oh, there is really no hope!" Love-brained! !
Shen Changan: "Madam, I think this room is pretty good. It's much more spacious than the one we live in in the village! The master bedrooms in the village are not as big as this one, so, for us, there's nothing wrong with it."
"Alright, alright, I don't care anymore, you two can live wherever you want!"
Lanhua: "Miss, the two sons-in-law are ready for dinner."
Xu Zhiyi: “Yeah!”
In the evening, meals are served in the Dazhengyuan, which is the middle courtyard between the two courtyards. Inside is a large hall, where guests are usually received. There are three rooms next to it.
At the dinner table, Su suggested, "Zhiyi, how about we eat in our own courtyards from now on? On the first and fifteenth day of the lunar month, we can go back to the Xue family next door and have a reunion dinner together, okay?"
Xu Zhiyi: "Mom, I can do anything!"
Su: "Okay, then it's settled. You don't have to go to Dazhengyuan for meals. Our two courtyards are far apart, and it takes a lot of time to walk here."
"As for the Xue family, we all live here. The two families are so close, it would be unreasonable not to go."
Xu Zhiyi suddenly thought of his plan to open a shop in the county town: "Mom, Chang'an, Wuyou, I suddenly have an idea, that is, I want to open a shop in the county town. I have discussed it with Aunt Luo and plan to open a branch of Yanyi Pavilion first."
Shen Changan: "County town? Madam, if it is opened, who will manage the shop in the county town?"
Xu Zhiyi: "Aunt Luo! Now that Qianqian and Yanyue are together, Yanyi Pavilion can hold on. These two learn everything quickly. Qianqian knows how to manage the shop! And Yanyue can take over Aunt Luo's position to manage the embroiderers."
"Actually, there's nothing to worry about. So far, everyone has cooperated well and completed the task together after discussion."
Hearing this, Shen Changan nodded: “The lady has a thorough plan, so it shouldn’t be a big problem!”
"Hehe, your wife, I have a goal. I want to become the richest man in Nanzhou City as soon as possible, retire early, and become a salted fish who can afford to enjoy life!"
Shen Wuyou, who was standing by, heard this and asked curiously, “Madam, what does retirement mean?”
Xu Zhiyi: "Ah? What you mean is that after we become the richest people, we can relax and don't have to do everything ourselves!"
After hearing this explanation, Shen Wuyou nodded as if he understood it: “Okay, Wuyou will work harder in the future and make sure my wife retires soon.”
After dinner, Xu Zhiyi returned to the room, and Yueji and Lanhua came in with hot water and went to the small bathtub in the compartment.
Xu Zhiyi took some clean clothes and went to take a shower. Just as he was about to take off his clothes, he saw the two people still standing there. Xu Zhiyi waved his hand and said, "You two, go out! I'm used to taking a shower alone."
Upon hearing this, Yueji and Lanhua bowed and said, "Miss, we will wait outside. If you have any instructions, just let me know!"
"Okay." After seeing the two of them go out, Xu Zhiyi took off his clothes and went to the bathtub to take a bath.
It was not until quarter of an hour later that Xu Zhiyi came out after putting on her underwear. The two of them hurried in and found the hole at the bottom of the pool that was blocked by stones. They pulled the stones away, and the water level in the bathtub dropped rapidly. They did not draw water until there was no water in the small pool until they had fetched it to clean the pool.
Xu Zhiyi saw that the two of them were done with their work, and then he said, "Next time, when you prepare bath water, just use the bathtub, and I'll use the bathtub when I want to take a bath!"
Rose, Lando: "Yes, Miss!"
It was getting dark, Xu Zhiyi finished checking the account book, it should be after the evening hour, he stood up and stretched, then walked towards the bed, came to the bedside, saw Shen Wuyou lying on the bed, and asked in surprise:
"Wuyou, when did you come? There was no sound."
Shen Wuyou: “Madam, you are too devoted to looking at the account book!”
After Xu Zhiyi blew out the oil lamp, she lifted the quilt and lay down, and Shen Wuyou quickly turned sideways and hugged her waist.
"Sleep, don't move!"
"Ma'am, we haven't had one for days!"
"Ahem, Wuyou, it's quite late now!"
"It's not too late, my lady. I will never be too reckless, okay?"
Xu Zhiyi: "Don't cheat, this is really just once!"
Shen Wuyou heard this and pinched Xu Zhiyi’s waist: “Listen to my wife.”
Until more than half an hour later.
"No worries~"
Xu Zhiyi only now realized that he was naive!
"No worries~"
"Ma'am, I didn't lie to you, this is just the one time!"
………………
The next day, Xu Zhiyi didn't get up until the sun shone through the window. When Yueji saw that Xu Zhiyi had woken up, she quickly brought the wash water into the room.
After washing up, Xu Zhiyi sat in front of the dressing table to comb her hair. Through the mirror, she saw two red marks on her neck. After thinking for a while, she decided not to put her hair up today and could use her hair to cover them up.
Today, when we arrived at the shop, there were suddenly more soldiers on the street. Constable Yu brought a few soldiers into the pastry shop, took out a portrait and asked:
"Manager Xu, do you know the person in this painting?"
Hearing this, Xu Zhiyi looked at the painting, next to which was Chen Xiaohua's name, and nodded honestly: "Before fleeing from famine, we were from the same village, but I haven't seen her for a long time! What happened?"
Constable Yu: "She fled for fear of crime, killed scholar Gu Yun's mother Wang, and chopped off Gu Yun's genitals! Her hands were also disabled. Now a good scholar has become a eunuch, and even his hands are disabled!"
Xu Zhiyi was very surprised when he heard this. Did Gu Yun capsize?
