Chapter 170 Private Collection
It is said that women in ancient times were conservative. When Jiang Yuzhu stepped into the shop, she saw the world again.
The shop sold hollow bellybands that were as thin as a cicada's wing, and underpants inlaid with gold and silver beads, which were extremely luxurious.
Facing such a big scene, Chen remained calm and turned around to whisper to the female clerk, "Send a set of each of the new goods in the shop to Xie's house."
Seeing a big customer coming, the female waiter smiled attentively: "Mrs. Jiang, our store has just received a batch of men's clothes. Would you like to move over..."
"want!"
Chen didn't wait for the waitress to finish and interrupted her with great certainty.
Sexual intercourse between a couple is not necessarily led by the man. If the man can wear half-covering clothes, it can also serve as a temptation.
Chen was already a regular customer. He went to another room with ease and bought a lot of things.
When Chen came out, Jiang Yuzhu was still shocked by the price of the hollow bellyband.
It's such a small piece that can't cover anything and it doesn't cost any fabric, but it costs ten taels of silver!
The price of the underpants inlaid with gold beads was even more outrageous, at least several dozen taels of silver.
Even if the selling point is privacy, it’s too expensive!
Sure enough, there is no shortage of wealthy and stupid customers in the capital. The higher the price, the more fat sheep there are to be slaughtered.
Jiang Yuzhu was very tempted and wanted to get involved in this profitable business.
Such a private shop makes a fortune quietly. Even if she provides a design for special customization, it is rare for Xuan Yao from the jewelry shop to snatch her hairpin.
After all, it is a private transaction, so it needs to be concealed a little.
Jiang Yuzhu has a better idea: opening a private shop.
Male and female models are made from tree carvings, the outer skin is polished smooth, and then clothes are put on them for a more intuitive display.
Chen came out from the inner room and saw Jiang Yuzhu still in a daze, so she pulled her to the private room to sit for a while.
Chen had been thinking about this for a long time and couldn't help saying, "Yuzhu, the late emperor granted you a marriage with Yuanhe and your father couldn't resist. Over the years, your mother and father have felt sorry for you."
Chen knew very well that her daughter had feelings for Lu Yunxi.
Back then, the two families did have the intention of getting married, but Chen Daya only wanted to suppress the Chen family, and her conditions were harsh.
"You have seen Chen Daya's character. How can she compare with your mother-in-law?"
The two sisters had been at odds since childhood. Mrs. Chen was very afraid that her spoiled daughter would marry into the Lu family, but Chen Daya was secretly trying to trip her up.
Although the marriage granted by the late emperor disrupted the Jiang family's plans, it also completely dispelled Chen's doubts in some ways.
"For many years, you and Yuanhe have been cold and indifferent, and your parents have always given in to you."
Chen said from the bottom of her heart that the daughter of Jiang family, with the support of her natal family, is not afraid of anything!
"Dad and Mom have always thought this way, but as a bystander, Mom still wants to remind you."
Chen stared at the chrysanthemum floating in the teacup, and after a while she continued, "Whether a woman lives a good life depends on her own temperament and whether her family can help. But the person who really lives her life behind closed doors is you. If you find the right husband, your life will be even better."
Chen was not worried that her daughter would be bullied. Seeing that the Xie family had been making efforts, she thought it was time for her daughter to express her stance.
"Yuanhe has no concubines or maids, and is devoted to you. Your mother-in-law is sensible and considerate of you. The brothers of the Xie family also respect you as their third sister-in-law. What else is there to be dissatisfied about?"
If you delay it for too long, it will only make people feel disappointed.
While there is a way out now, hurry up and follow the trend to live a good life with Xie Zhao.
If Xie Zhao changed, as a daughter of the Jiang family, she would have the courage to escape unscathed.
"Yuzhu, think carefully about whether what mother said makes sense."
If a couple sleeps in separate rooms, their relationship will definitely not be as good as if they sleep in the same room.
Xie Zhao is busy with official duties and will not return home often, so Jiang Yuzhu has plenty of time left to do as she pleases.
"As for the Lu family, since we have already severed ties with them, we should stay as far away from them as possible."
Chen was really worried that her daughter would make a mistake and fall into the quagmire again, and be deceived by Lu Yunxi's sweet words. She said earnestly, "If Lu Yunxi really liked you, he wouldn't come to bother you again after knowing that you have been married for more than three years. He can't even follow the most basic etiquette rules, and he wants to mess up your life. What's his intention?"
Rules are like a piece of paper for men, but like a mountain for women.
"Another one..."
Chen thought for a moment and felt that she should not hide it. "Lu Yunxi is not Chen Daya's son."
When Chen said this, Jiang Yuzhu widened her eyes and asked, "Mom, is it true?"
In other words, Lu Yunxi has nothing to do with the Chen family. If Jiang Yuzhu knew about this relationship, she would be even more ruthless in her actions.
Chen sighed faintly, then nodded solemnly, "Really."
That year, Chen Daya accompanied Mr. Lu to the capital to take the imperial examination, but her labor went into labor ahead of schedule, before her due date.
Chen Daya gave birth to a stillborn baby, a daughter.
In order to maintain her position in the Lu family, Chen Daya asked her wet nurse, Chen Ma, to help find a baby boy of similar age.
"At that time, the baby was placed by the river, his face was blue and purple, and judging by the swaddling clothes, he must be rich or noble."
Nanny Chen was experienced. She picked up the baby and patted him hard, and the baby finally let out a weak cry.
By coincidence, she replaced the daughter born by Chen Daya and announced to the public that Chen Daya had given birth to the Lu family's grandson.
"This matter is a secret, only Chen Daya and the nanny know it."
Chen couldn't help feeling sad when she thought back to those days.
Originally, replacing her would not be a big deal, but Chen Daya was cruel and was always worried that the wet nurse would betray her and tell others.
"Mrs. Chen returned to Jiangnan and came to me for help. But before I could do anything, she was fished out of the river."
The case was closed in a perfunctory manner at the time. Nanny Chen was a servant and no one cared.
Chen once went to the government office and learned that Nanny Chen had drowned. No one knew the truth.
"I have been keeping it to myself all these years. I don't believe in coincidences."
It must be Chen Daya who did something to silence the witness, but Chen had no evidence to prove her claim.
Over the years, Chen Daya had no children and relied on Lu Yunxi to secure her position as the clan leader's wife.
After Jiang Yuzhu heard this, a light bulb went off in her head. She felt as if something was connected, but when she thought about it carefully, she couldn't remember what it was.
The mother and daughter chatted for a while but didn't stay long.
Xie Zhao was busy for several days because of the handover with Su Wenshan.
On the fifteenth day of the eighth lunar month, just after breakfast, the three sisters of the Su family came to visit the Xie residence, bringing homemade mooncakes and a set of wedding dresses that the three sisters had jointly sewed for Jiang Yuzhu.
Zhao Fendie, Qiao Ying and Yu Jiaojiao also rushed to the mansion and helped the servants to decorate the bridal chamber.
The bed was covered with red dates, peanuts, longans and lotus seeds, dragon and phoenix wedding candles, and big red star-shaped lanterns.
"Don't be busy, come over and have a chat."
On her wedding night tonight, Jiang Yuzhu was far from being as relaxed as she appeared.
Although she has seen pigs running many times, she has no experience in eating pork.
Zhao Fendie smiled and said, "Today is Mid-Autumn Festival. Except for me, Qiao Yingjiaojiao and the others all have families and need to go back early to prepare for the moon-viewing banquet. To make a long story short, let's take out the gifts first!"
After Zhao Fendie finished speaking, she took out a pornographic booklet from her sleeve pocket and said, "Yuzhu, this is a collector's edition. It's very hard to buy!"
Xie Zhao was a righteous man, busy with government affairs all day long. He never went to brothels, and he didn't have a concubine to teach him about personnel matters. He probably lacked experience.
As a person with experience, Zhao Fendie only gives the most practical things.
In addition to the Spring Palace, there is also her private collection of Spring Breeze.
"Keep this for now. I hope you don't need it."
After Zhao Fendie finished speaking, she waited to see Jiang Yuzhu blush, but unexpectedly Jiang Yuzhu decisively accepted it, her expression unchanged and as calm as a rock.
