"Mom, aren't our expenses too high?"
The carriage was ticking, and the space in front of the carriage was filled with boxes of all sizes. Leng Qingxue twisted her handkerchief, unable to hold back her words, and asked worriedly.
Yu'er pursed her lips and smiled. Her eyes met her daughter's worried expression. She shook her head helplessly and stroked her daughter's hair.
"It's also my fault that my mother didn't tell you the truth. That's why you're so worried. Blame me."
Then he began to count the family assets.
Yu'er had some control over her stepmother back then, and her dowry was not much worse than that of her stepmother.
Relying on her generous dowry, she later opened many shops.
There are rice and grain shops that deal in daily life. The business of this kind of shop may not seem obvious, but it is about stability.
To run a long-term business, after all, people need to eat.
The real money-makers were the fabric trade and the women's rouge and powder trade.
With these two things, she made a lot of money every year and bought several farms in the suburbs of Beijing.
Fruits, vegetables, chicken and mutton all come from their own farm, and the leftovers can be sold.
"In short, you don't have to worry about being short of money. We have all these things."
"Besides, good jade headpieces are hard to come by. These two sets would be nice to keep as heirlooms for when you get married."
Feeling embarrassed, Leng Qingxue pulled her mother's sleeve and shook it.
"Mother~"
The little girl looked so embarrassed that she almost blushed on the spot.
Yu'er, who had experienced this, and Mrs. Hao smiled at each other.
I sighed in my heart that the girl is old and knows how to be embarrassed.
The group returned home with a full load, chatting and laughing.
The carriage arrived at the main gate of the third courtyard while they were chatting and laughing, and Mrs. Hao got off first.
Looking further ahead, I saw that the tightly closed main door of the courtyard next door was wide open, and people were moving things back and forth inside.
Mrs. Hao withdrew her gaze and helped the mistress get off the carriage.
Leng Qingxue stepped out of the carriage on a footstool and looked at the neighboring courtyard not far away where people were coming in and out. The little girl couldn't help but be curious.
"Mom, has someone moved in over there? It looks so lively."
Yu'er had heard the noise a long time ago, and she glanced over there, somewhat nonchalantly.
"Maybe the owner of the house has moved back in."
Qingxue asked casually.
Yuer said casually.
The two of them glanced at it, but didn't take it seriously.
Who knew that the courtyard next door had been busy all day. The next morning, Yu'er had just finished breakfast and got up.
I was walking in my yard to help digest my food when the doorman from the mansion came to report.
"You said the guy next door sent a visiting card and is coming to visit tomorrow. Am I familiar with that guy?"
Yu'er was not right. Since her divorce from Leng Siqian, her life has been much more peaceful.
I have almost lost contact with the women I used to interact with.
Just after she went to the Marquis' Mansion, many ladies she knew sent her visiting cards, inviting her to flower viewing parties.
Unfortunately, both of them were in low spirits and poor health at that time, so they refused everything.
I had thought I would socialize again after I got better, but the doorman handed me a visiting card with both hands.
The names and surnames on it were clearly visible. Yu'er opened it, looked at it with a frown, and muttered for a moment.
"Zheng Peizhi? Hmm, do I know him?"
No matter how hard I tried to think, my mind was still blank and felt very unfamiliar.
"Perhaps the owner of that house, adhering to the principle of being friendly and good neighbors, should be polite and come to visit."
After hearing what Mrs. Hao said, Yu'er thought it made sense and didn't make things difficult for her.
She handed the visiting card to Mrs. Hao, thinking that it was just a social event tomorrow, not a big deal.
The next morning, the weather outside was sunny.
In the reception hall, Yu'er had a cold and frosty face, showing no hospitality at all.
Being left alone at the bottom, he sat steadily, and the distinguished guest who came to visit did not care at all about the host's indifference.
He has a very broad mind and is shameless even if the host doesn't greet him.
As if no one was around, he leisurely picked up the teacup in his hand and pretended to taste the tea.
"This is West Lake Longjing tea. It tastes really good."
Yu'er's uninterested eyes finally moved, and she slowly opened them to look over.
After a moment, she couldn't help but explain slowly in front of the man's smiling and frivolous face.
"This is Jiuquhongmei tea, originating from Jiuqu Creek in Wuyi Mountain. It's named so because the tea is red and fragrant, like red plums. It's very different from the West Lake Longjing you mentioned."
"Oh~"
Zheng Peizhi acted as if he had suddenly realized something.
"It turns out that Zheng is short-sighted. Thank you, Madam, for your generous guidance."
What a shameless and shameless person!
The man slowly put down the teacup, more leisurely than at home, stood up with the help of the handrail, and bowed as he said.
The teasing look and action made Yuer's snow-white face flush with embarrassment.
The noble lady, who was so angry at the scoundrel that she didn't want to talk anymore, was too lazy to argue with him.
"Sir, is there anything else? If not, please~"
"Madam, why are you so distant? Just call me Pei Zhi."
Before she could finish her words, she was interrupted by the unreasonable man who stood up and stared at her.
Listening to the man's almost teasing words, Yu'er wanted to slap him.
Looking at Zheng Peizhi who was standing in the hall with a serious expression, as if he didn't know what crazy words he had said.
People at that time were very particular about how they addressed each other. People of the same generation called each other by their courtesy names, and only close elders and family members could call each other by their names.
Doesn’t the elder family member include my wife?
Everyone knows Sima Zhao's intentions when a madman suddenly comes to visit.
Look at the shameless lunatic who deserves to be dealt with not far away.
In a moment of distraction, Yu'er felt a surge of anger rushing from his limbs to the top of his head, and finally gathered in his chest.
After several ups and downs, the angry beautiful woman's hair stood up like clouds, and her eyebrows were as poetic as a painting.
Her beautiful eyes are spitting fire, making people feel that she is delicate, charming, vivid and beautiful.
How could outsiders see any anger at all? He was so confused that his brain was speechless and his mind was full of confusion.
Yu'er pulled the corners of her lips with difficulty, restrained her intention to hurt others, and politely left.
"If I remember correctly, I've only met you twice. We're not even on a first-name basis. Since you've already paid me a visit, how about~"
The man was not happy with what he heard, and he opened the fan in his hand.
Yu'er looked at him coldly when she saw that he didn't know what was good for him and left. She shook her head seriously, looking as if she couldn't accept it.
"Zheng is a humble person, but I felt a strong connection with Madam from the moment we met. We were like family, without any estrangement. Why is Madam so distant? I am speechless."
Damn it, you are speechless, just get out of here. What are you doing standing here so openly? Who are you bothering? Oh, you are bothering me.
At this moment, Yu'er really wanted to drive away the bastard in front of her, the shameless and shameless madman.
"It's like this, I have something else to do later and I'm afraid I can't entertain you, you see~"
Get out of here quickly.
He spoke very sincerely, as if he didn't understand what people were saying.
"Madam, please feel free to tell me what difficulties you have. I, Zheng, do have some skills in handling complicated matters."
