The news that Song Tingyue hurriedly followed Wei Ming away was reported to Qiu Shui Ju by the sharp-eyed servants.
Qian was so happy that she was beaming with joy. She could be considered to have won back a game today.
This Chi family can just wait to be laughed at when they get back!
Her son would never go back with her to be laughed at!
Qian was in a good mood today. Chu happened to come over, and the two of them asked two maids to join them. They were in high spirits and started playing mahjong.
Chi Yunzhi took Zhuyin and Yuerong out of the house and prepared to return to the Chi Mansion.
Zhuyin was so angry that she pouted all the way, while Yuerong was embroidering a handkerchief on the side.
"Isn't this the way to Chi Mansion?" Zhu Yin asked in confusion after lifting the curtain.
"Well, this is the way to Baoyun Pavilion. Have you forgotten what I said to the shopkeeper yesterday?" Chi Yunzhi smiled and scratched her nose.
After she reminded him, Zhuyin finally remembered.
Yesterday they met Princess Muyang and did a big deal!
Their young lady also made adjustments to Baoyun Pavilion.
When Zhu Yin thought of Chi Yunzhi's appearance at that time, she felt that she was radiant and dazzling.
"Yes, I remember! We are going to Baoyun Pavilion to find the manager!" Zhuyin's attention was quickly diverted.
The carriage stopped in front of Baoyun Pavilion. Yuerong had finished embroidering a peony, and the master and servant got off the carriage.
Baoyun Pavilion, which was originally deserted, was now crowded with people, all of whom were girls from ordinary families.
There was a table at the door, and on the table were two small grid frames.
The opening of each grid was covered with opaque paper so that the situation inside could not be seen. The rules of the game were also written in black on red paper on the side.
This was the method Chi Yunzhi taught them yesterday.
"You pay ten cents for a draw, and you might very well win a jewel hairpin worth five hundred cents!" The shopkeeper was explaining the rules of the activity to everyone.
"Ten cents? Is it such a good thing? Don't lie to me!" An auntie with a shopping basket in her arm said questioningly.
"That's right, how can ten cents buy something worth five hundred cents? Shopkeeper, don't cheat us!" The young man also came to join in the fun.
"Baoyun Pavilion has always been an honest business! There are twenty compartments here, and you can choose something from one of them for ten cents." The shopkeeper continued, "But if you choose something and are not satisfied, we will not refund you!"
As soon as these words were spoken, discussions were immediately heard among the crowd.
We all live in the capital. Although not every family is rich, some can still afford to buy some jewelry with ten cents.
"Okay, I'll give it a try!" The aunt paid the money, picked and chose among the twenty boxes, and finally chose a good one.
She poked a hole in the paper with her finger and saw a peony hairpin made of velvet inside. She jumped a few times in surprise.
"This is so beautiful! This velvet flower is exquisite and worthy of me." The aunt smiled happily.
When she got the velvet flower, she immediately put it in her hair and twisted her waist proudly, which immediately attracted the teasing of her companions.
It was the first time that such delicate velvet flowers bloomed. The girls and boys were eager to try it out, and the scene was so lively that they were about to fight.
The waiter was responsible for collecting money, and he was responsible for watching people open the grids. Both of them were too busy.
Chi Yunzhi didn't disturb him and went in to sit for a while.
Work on the upper floor hasn't started yet, probably because there aren't enough people.
After about an incense stick of time, the shopkeeper shouted "The lottery is over!" and all twenty boxes were drawn at once.
"It's gone so soon, I haven't had enough yet!" a little girl muttered.
"There will be new jewelry tomorrow, so come early!" said the shopkeeper with a smile.
The waiter started to pack up things, and someone pulled out the jewel hairpin five times in a row. He was really lucky.
The shopkeeper hurried to Chi Yunzhi and reported the recent activities with a smile.
"Well, we'll continue tomorrow. Put thirty grids, with one medium-sized item in them, and you can take care of the rest." Chi Yunzhi took a sip of tea.
Yuerong had already taken the drawing out of the cloth bag. This was the result of their young lady's work for an entire night. Painting at night was the most tiring, so it couldn't be thrown away.
In Yuerong's eyes, Chi Yunzhi was painting.
When the shopkeeper saw the blueprint, he was so amazed that he was speechless.
Just by looking at him, he felt that Princess Muyang would definitely like this jewelry, because it was not only a style he had never seen before, but also a test of the craftsman's ability.
"Give the craftsmen four days. If that doesn't work, then five days. That's the limit."
"If you still refuse, then increase the wages. Fifty taels of silver is the minimum wage. If you want more, find someone else."
Chi Yunzhi took out two purses and placed them on the table. The shopkeeper wrote down her words.
After instructing the shopkeeper to make the style on the drawing, Chi Yunzhi went to the Chi Mansion.
The red silk on the stone lions outside the Chi Mansion's wedding had long been removed, and even the red silk on the plaque had been removed.
How much do you not want to admit this marriage?
She lifted her skirt and walked in. The doorman had already come up and led the carriage in.
Li and Chi Miaoyan were originally painting in the pavilion. When they heard the servant come to report that Chi Yunzhi came back alone, they couldn't help but laugh.
"Mom, Chi Yunzhi actually dared to come back alone." Chi Miaoyan couldn't believe that there were such shameless people in the world.
"She is not presentable and doesn't know etiquette. It seems she is not living well in the Song family." Whenever Li thought of Qian's appearance, she was glad that the one who married her was Chi Yunzhi, a concubine's daughter.
Not to mention that she was treating a concubine's daughter harshly, if she really let her daughter Miaoyan marry him, she might as well just kill herself.
"I really want to see how miserable Chi Yunzhi is!" Chi Miaoyan smiled with her eyes curved.
If Song Tingyue was here, he would realize how different Chi Miaoyan's current appearance was from how she appeared in front of him.
The mother and daughter walked hand in hand to the flower hall, where Chi Yunzhi was already waiting.
"Didn't Mr. Song come with you?" Li asked knowingly.
"Well, he has something else to do outside." Chi Yunzhi responded, "He is doing this for his daughter's own good."
"What do you mean?" Chi Miaoyan couldn't help but ask.
Chi Yunzhi glanced at her calmly and said, "My elder sister was originally engaged to him, but I was the one who married him, so it's better not to meet. Is that right, sister?"
When Chi Miaoyan thought of Song Tingyue who was drunk last night, her heart ached.
How could such a talented person be poisoned like that?
"I haven't seen you for three days. You've become much more eloquent." Li snorted coldly.
"Mother, you are so kind." Chi Yunzhi stood up and bowed slightly. "I have already asked the servant to move in with the return gift. I won't spoil the fun for you and your sister by staying here."
The hypocritical mother-daughter relationship had long since disappeared with the forced marriage that day.
Chi Yunzhi didn't want to deal with them anymore, so she got up and went to Aunt Zhou's yard.
