Chapter 19: The General with No Heir VS the Delicate and Soft Concubine



When Chi Yunzhi arrived at Baoyun Pavilion, it was very lively outside, with people coming to participate in the lottery.

Some customers were pleasantly surprised by the hairpins and jewelry items they had won in previous draws and thought they were worth it, so they were now choosing and buying them in the store.

The business in the store suddenly improved a lot. The shopkeeper was busy as hell and couldn't stop smiling.

Not long after Chi Yunzhi arrived, Princess Muyang also arrived.

Chi Yunzhi brought Princess Muyang in through the back door, which made Princess Muyang dissatisfied.

"Princess, please calm down! There are too many people at the front door, and I'm afraid it will disturb you. This secluded place is most suitable for a lady of noble status like you." Chi Yunzhi's etiquette was proper and standard.

Only then did Princess Muyang calm down.

When I got to the second floor, I found that it was completely different from the place I had been to before. There were a few more compartments, which added a sense of mystery.

Chi Yunzhi pushed the door open with Princess Muyang, and what caught their eyes was the orchid pot on the windowsill, which now only had a bud.

As soon as the door was closed, the noise outside was immediately blocked out, making the place seem very quiet and elegant.

The shopkeeper placed the custom-made jewelry along with the box in front of Princess Muyang, but just as he was about to open it, she reached out and held it down.

Although the shopkeeper was puzzled, he withdrew his hand and stepped aside.

"What does Princess Muyang mean?" Chi Yunzhi was puzzled.

"If the things inside are not to my liking, I will not pay for them, do you understand?" Princess Muyang is used to being spoiled, don't even think about asking her to pay a cent for something she doesn't like!

To Chi Yunzhi, these words were too subjective. Whether it was to her liking or not was entirely up to Princess Muyang.

"Your Highness, you're joking. I can guarantee that the things here are absolutely worth the money." Chi Yunzhi said.

"Really?" Princess Muyang didn't believe it. Could it be that Baoyun Pavilion really had good things?

"Really." Chi Yunzhi was calm and composed, but the shopkeeper He Yuerong standing behind him swallowed silently.

It’s not that she doesn’t trust her young lady, but her young lady is so strong that she can still chat and laugh with the princess under such great pressure.

This time it was Princess Mu Yang who was uncertain. She raised her eyebrows and opened the wooden box herself.

Then her gaze changed from calm to surprise, and from surprise to astonishment.

In the end, Princess Muyang couldn't stop smiling!

She had never seen such exquisite coral jewelry!

With them, she will definitely be able to surpass her cousin!

Even the maidservant behind her who had a bad mouth couldn't help but exclaim in surprise.

Chi Yunzhi knew that this time she was safe.

Princess Muyang tried it on on the spot. Yuerong brought a mirror to look at it for her. She liked it so much that she didn't want to take it off.

But the poetry reading was tomorrow, and she couldn't let the jewelry be seen in advance, otherwise it wouldn't be stunning.

Princess Muyang put all the jewelry back in place, then realized how much she had lost her composure just now and coughed lightly in embarrassment.

Chi Yunzhi glanced at Yuerong, who put the food box in her hand back on the table and took out the contents.

"You name the price of this jewelry, I want it." Princess Muyang returned to her usual arrogant look, but this time she looked more adorable in Chi Yunzhi's eyes.

This is a big money sponsor!

"Five hundred taels!" When Chi Yunzhi said this, the four people present took a deep breath.

"You are robbing me!" Baoyue exclaimed subconsciously.

Princess Muyang took a deep breath and suppressed her surprise.

"Baoyue, pay." She knew how precious these pieces of jewelry were, and five hundred taels of silver was actually not a lot.

Baoyue took out the money reluctantly.

The business was successful, and Chi Yunzhi took out the Rose Dew and said, "This is a drink I made myself. Princess, you can try it."

Princess Muyang originally thought that her own kitchen could make all kinds of drinks, but as soon as Chi Yunzhi opened the lid, the refreshing and pleasant smell filled the entire compartment.

She smelled it, took a sip, and found the lingering fragrance in her mouth very elegant and a little sweet.

"This is what our Baoyun Pavilion has prepared for distinguished guests. Is the princess satisfied?"

"It's okay." Princess Muyang said insincerely when she saw that she had already finished drinking.

Chi Yunzhi did not expose her, but only said that the two pieces of jewelry she bought today would be sold in the store in the future.

I thought Princess Muyang would disagree, but I didn't expect her to agree so readily.

"Remember to let me know if you find any good stuff in the future. This drink is good, I hope I can come again and drink it next time." After saying this, Princess Muyang took the jewelry and left.

After Chi Yunzhi finished the deal, she asked the shopkeeper to talk to the craftsmen who were cooperating with her again, and they could make and sell the jewelry.

After leaving Baoyun Pavilion, Chi Yunzhi suddenly saw that the shop next to him was closed during the day, and there was a man who looked like a servant sitting at the door.

It turned out that the contract of this store had expired and the owner did not renew the lease. Doesn't this just give Chi Yunzhi an opportunity?

But when Chi Yunzhi went up to ask, she found out that the rent for this shop was two hundred taels a year, which was a bit beyond her budget.

Forget it, let’s talk about it next time.

It was noon when Chi Yunzhi got home and it was time for dinner.

She could hear laughter coming from the dining room from a distance, and it was an unfamiliar voice. Chi Yunzhi paused and walked over quickly.

"Aunt, I really miss you so much, but my mother is holding me back so tightly that it's hard for me to get out." The speaker was a gorgeously dressed woman who looked a lot like Qian.

"Your mother is just too worried about you. Your cousin Tingyue was talking about you a few days ago. Are these dishes to your liking? Eat more." Qian smiled and helped her pick up some food.

Chi Yunzhi then realized that the old woman Qian was going to cause trouble again.

Chu and Song Jinze were sitting next to her, but no one cared whether she was there or not.

Qian seemed to have just seen Chi Yunzhi and began to introduce the strange woman.

She is the daughter of Qian's sister, Fang Baolin, and she will stay at home for a while longer this time.

As for how long a period of time is, no one knows.

In fact, Fang Baolin came here for another purpose, which was to find a suitable husband in the capital.

If it were before Song Tingyue was injured, he would definitely be a good candidate.

But now he...

Fang Baolin would never marry him, and as for her second cousin...

He already has two sons, so it wouldn't be cost-effective for her to marry him as a concubine.

Besides, her second cousin is not her type.

Chi Yunzhi secretly glanced at Fang Baolin, smiled faintly and nodded.

"Cousin Fang is now of marriageable age. Does she have a suitable husband?" Chi Yunzhi asked.

As soon as this topic was brought up, Qian rolled her eyes.

"You are so shameless! Is that something you can just say casually?" Even in front of outsiders, Qian did not give face to her eldest daughter-in-law, Chi Yunzhi.

Chu quickly came over to smooth things over, and the meal went off without incident.

However, Fang Baolin was still quite curious about his cousin's wife.
