Chapter 7 What a coincidence
Zhao Fendie's eyes lit up, and she nodded hurriedly, "Yuzhu, then write it to me. I'll ask Madam Zhao to get the medicine and buy the ingredients, and I'll make sure the recipe isn't passed on to anyone else."
Ten-ingredient tonic soup is a delicacy that many men dream of.
Jiang Yuzhu responded readily and decided to be a good person to the end.
There is a medicine shop opposite the Jixiang Teahouse, which belongs to the Jiang family. She asked Hongli to get the medicine.
"The rest we need are bull whip and other ingredients. You can buy them on the black market."
In Da Qi, farmers relied on cattle for farming, so cattle had rank points and could not be killed at will.
Jiang Yuzhu explained the usage and dosage clearly, and Zhao Fendie wrote it down very carefully.
Finally, Zhao Fendie sighed quietly and said, "Yuzhu, I really don't understand men."
"Why do you say that?"
Jiang Yuzhu didn't want to know, she didn't have the time to do so.
The most important thing in life is to make yourself comfortable, and don't think about anything else.
Zhao Fendie sighed, she was troubled.
"Ji Chengyun is obviously not that good in that aspect, shouldn't he hide it?"
Ji Chengyun is Zhao Fendie's husband, and they have been married for just one year.
The father and son of the Ji family are the same, famous for their romanticism in the capital.
Ji Chengyun followed in his father's footsteps and not only kept seven or eight concubines, but was also a frequent visitor to brothels in the capital.
"I just can't understand, how can he be so romantic when he has kidney deficiency?"
The Zhao family and the Ji family were married, but the couple had no feelings for each other. Ji Chengyun only stayed overnight on the first and fifteenth day of every month, just to give his wife some respect.
Zhao Fendie wanted to have an affair, but she had no chance.
What's more, the Zhao family is different from the Jiang family, and Zhao Fendie has no backing.
Jiang Yuzhu was speechless after being questioned by her best friend: "This... maybe Ji Chengyun doesn't know that he is not capable?"
Jiang Yuzhu analyzed the situation rationally and believed that this was the most likely possibility.
Zhao Fendie was shocked: "Doesn't he have any self-awareness?"
Ji Chengrun is not doing well, don’t you have any idea?
Jiang Yuzhu asked again: "Fendie, did you say he is not capable?"
Zhao Fendie shook her head. She didn't mention it, even though she disliked it.
"That's right. You didn't even mention it. Those concubines and maids have to coax him even more."
This is the case with the women in the Ji family's backyard. The prostitutes in the brothel make money from men and serve them very well.
Ji Chengyun is most likely an ordinary man who thinks he is pretty good.
A scumbag is a scumbag, but at least his sexual orientation is obvious. Her husband, Xie Zhao, is so abstinent that Jiang Yuzhu suspects he is having a human-ghost affair!
Zhao Fendie had no idea that her best friend was already daydreaming. She leaned against Jiang Yuzhu's side and said with a smile, "I am so unlucky. Why did I marry such a thing? The money I spent on a one-night stand is enough to patronize the prostitute's house several times!"
When the sisters come to talk, the show begins.
After Xiao Taohong came on stage, everyone gradually quieted down.
Zhao Fendie stopped talking and fixed her eyes on the stage, quickly becoming absorbed in the emotions.
Jiang Yuzhu was not interested in the humming singing; she sat by the window facing the street, looking at the scenery aimlessly.
Soon, Jiang Yuzhu was met with a cold gaze and her body trembled involuntarily.
Downstairs, Xie Zhao gripped the reins tightly and raised his eyes slightly.
Sitting in a private room on the second floor of the teahouse was a gorgeous young woman with fair skin. She seemed to have been holding her chin with her hand for a long time, and there was a red mark on the side of her cheek caused by her hand, like a slight flaw in a flawless jade.
She tilted her head slightly, her black and white eyes were like spring water, with surprise in them.
Xie Zhao was stunned, his dark eyes darkened.
When he looked again, the man had shrunk back and closed the window.
The servant Liang An reported back, "Master, I just ran into Hong Li buying herbs. The Madam should be nearby."
After he finished speaking, seeing that Xie Zhao didn't respond, Liang An hesitated and added: "I heard that he caught a prescription for men's tonic."
As a trusted servant, Liang An of course knew that the relationship between his master and his mistress was pure and distant, and that his mistress did not care about his master. The tonic recipe was definitely not for his master!
After hearing this, Xie Zhao's expression remained unchanged.
Now, Liang An couldn't help but feel aggrieved for his master.
The master has won three first places in the imperial examinations, is extremely talented, and is unprecedented in Da Qi. He is also extremely beautiful. Why was such an elegant man assigned to the fool Jiang Yuzhu?
Jiang Yuzhu is just an idiot, but she is also unfaithful to her husband. The Jiang family is even more weird!
Last time, Liang An spoke up for justice and said something bad about Jiang Yuzhu, so he was chased by the second son of the Jiang family for half a month. He was beaten every time he saw him.
Liang An felt bitter but learned his lesson and was not allowed to make casual comments in public.
Xie Zhao retracted his gaze and said softly, "Let's go."
Before Liang An could get on the horse, the oncoming carriage stopped first and a young girl got out of the carriage.
The girl was beautiful. She bowed to Xie Zhao and said with a faint smile, "Shuxiang just said that she saw you. It turns out to be my senior brother."
Xie Zhao's expression remained unchanged, his voice became more amiable, and he returned the greeting, "Junior Sister Wei."
Wei Jing smiled, with a complicated look in her eyes.
Xie Zhao is the man she has always dreamed of.
Three years ago, the Wei and Xie families had already shown signs of getting married, but before any action could be taken, Wei Jing's fantasies were shattered by a marriage agreement.
Xie Zhao married Jiang Yuzhu. Wei Jing swallowed her bitterness silently and almost cried her eyes out behind her back.
Three years have passed. Three full years have passed.
Wei Jing should have been married long ago, but no man caught her eye.
In this life, Wei Jing will not marry anyone but Xie Zhao!
Originally, Wei Jing was the daughter of the prime minister of the dynasty, and her pride did not allow her to be a concubine. However, after learning that Xie Zhao and Jiang Yuzhu had not consummated their marriage, Wei Jing's little thoughts, which were about to be extinguished, burned fiercely like a fire in the forest.
"Brother, that's really a coincidence."
Wei Jing suppressed the affection in her heart and glanced at Shuxiang.
Shuxiang hurriedly entered the carriage, took down an invitation and handed it to Liang'an, saying, "My old lady is celebrating her sixtieth birthday, and has invited the ladies and daughters of the families we know in the capital to come to our house for a visit, just to have some fun. Sir Xie, please pass the invitation to Madam Xie."
The date is set on the third day of the twelfth lunar month, an auspicious day.
At that time, the Wei family invited all relatives and friends to go boating and fishing in the farm in the suburbs. It was very lively.
"My master will definitely be there for Madam Wei's birthday."
Liang An put away the invitation and nodded secretly to Shuxiang.
When the time comes, he will be given the task of running errands and delivering letters to the lady.
However, Jiang Yuzhu has an unpredictable temper and may not be willing to give face to the Wei Mansion.
Wei Jing smiled and said, "Many of Madam Xie's sisters were there that day, and it was quite fun to go on a boat trip together."
This was equivalent to secretly finding a breakthrough for Liang An, and Liang An agreed.
A hint of ferocity flashed across Wei Jing's eyes. Jiang Yuzhu was the protagonist, how could she embarrass herself if she didn't go?
So what if the Emperor grants the marriage?
As long as Jiang Yuzhu loses her reputation again and again, she will always be disliked by the empress dowager who dotes on her in the palace.
After all, the Queen Mother is the most superstitious person.
I gave Jiang Yuzhu face at the beginning because I thought she was blessed.
What if this blessing is gone and becomes a plague and a jinx?
In the Jixiang Teahouse, a gap opened in the private room on the second floor.
Zhao Fendie narrowed her eyes and looked down. Seeing Xie Zhao and Wei Jing chatting enthusiastically, she was so angry that she twisted her handkerchief and said angrily, "Yuzhu, that bitch Wei Jing openly hooked up with your husband. Look at her face. She smiles so wantonly!"
