Chapter 256 Get Closer to Him
With more than half a month left before leaving Chen State, Mo Yunzhu has become very busy. The clothing shops are already being renovated. There are five shops, three of which are clothing shops and two are jewelry shops.
She tries her best to design more good clothes that conform to current aesthetics, while Jun Huolan designs a lot of jewelry.
Mo Yunzhu felt that he was really talented in jewelry design. By the time he finished all this, the full moon day had arrived again.
Zhuo Hongli asked Uncle Zhou to secretly invite Mo Yunzhu, this time in the guest inn.
Mo Yunzhu was very curious why Zhuo Hongli didn't let Zhuo Yu know, but she didn't ask any more questions because Zhuo Yu already knew it anyway.
Zhuo Hongli gave Mo Yunzhu a lot of jewelry this time. Mo Yunzhu felt that he was really generous and really rich.
This time, Mo Yunzhu tried her best to reduce his pain a lot. Zhuo Hongli had never felt so comfortable before on the day when the poison took effect.
He felt even more that Mo Yunzhu must stay by his side forever, so that he would never be tortured by the Yin Bone Poison again.
On the day of departure on the 20th, Fan Fengze and Fan Mingzhu had just returned to the imperial capital of Chen State.
Mo Yunzhu didn't want to waste too much time on the road, so after discussion, they all rode horses, since they could change horses at the post station anyway.
On the day of departure, Mo Yunzhu set out with Yuan Qing and Chang Teng. Because of the horse riding, Jasmine was left behind and they would find a maid in Chen State.
The three of them quietly set out for the city gate and met up with Zhuo Yu and the others outside the gate.
Zhuo Yu hasn't seen Mo Yunzhu for many days. He had to go back to Chen State and take care of many things. This time he only brought Jing Ji with him.
Zhuo Hongli recovered and brought Uncle Zhou and Uncle Zhao with him, so there were eight of them in total.
There was not much luggage, so the large items had to be sent directly by the court messenger, which would take a long time and cost a lot.
Originally, Zhuo Hongli could take a carriage and walk slowly with his luggage, but he now feels much younger, so he wants to be with Mo Yunzhu and cultivate their relationship. Maybe one day, this little woman will depend on him and he will like her, and then he can marry her.
Even if he couldn't, he would find a way to sleep with her. She would probably remember how good he had been to her in the past and would not turn against him. Besides, if she lost face and didn't return to Qingyun, she would obediently be Zhuo Hongli's wife.
And Zhuo Yu has nothing to do with this. When he can get Mo Yunzhu, how can he let Zhuo Yu get away with it? Even if he pretends to let Zhuo Yu marry her, it won't work.
He wanted to have his own little wife openly.
The eight people traveled day and night and arrived at the border city ten days later. After asking for a guest room, they rested for a day before leaving the border.
After Mo Yunzhu woke up from a nap, she took Chang Teng and quietly went to the grave of her biological father Xiao Feng.
When we got there, we saw that the cemetery had good feng shui, with beautiful mountains and clear water. There were other cemeteries nearby, and the areas in front of the tombs were all very clean, which showed that the people who had promised Mo Tiancheng were very attentive.
After paying homage, Mo Yunzhu left, took a walk around the border city, and then returned to the inn to eat and rest.
Because he had prepared the pass in advance, he passed the customs smoothly. He also bought a horse and galloped directly. Three days later, he finally entered the Chen Kingdom's imperial capital, Fandi City.
Chen State is located in the northeast of Qingyun. The climate in May and June is still relatively cool, but it is just right for the eight people who are traveling here.
As soon as he entered the imperial capital, Zhuo Hongli's face lit up, as if he had returned home, and began to introduce Mo Yunzhu in various ways.
The first place they were going to was Wanyao Pavilion, and Mo Yunzhu also agreed that Zhuo Yu would stay in Wanyao Pavilion temporarily.
The imperial capital of Chen State looks a little older than Qingyun Imperial City, but the people there are really tough. Many men wear animal skin clothing that exposes half of their arms.
The women were dressed casually, with collar openings much larger than Qingyun's, and regardless of age, women were free to go out on the streets.
The whole imperial city was very lively, with shops lined up one after another, carriages and carts coming and going, and people talking loudly. To Mo Yunzhu, it felt like a modern big city in the north, and it still felt very prosperous.
The group walked and stopped from time to time, and Mo Yunzhu bought a few sets of clothes. After all, when in Rome, do as the Romans do, and she had to change, otherwise she would attract too much attention when she went out.
An hour later, they arrived at the most prosperous area of the imperial capital, and Wanyao Pavilion was right inside. When Mo Yunzhu saw the Wanyao Pavilion with a large row of shops, she was shocked and envious.
Compared to Qingyun's Wanyao Pavilion, Chen Guo's Wanyao Pavilion is nearly three times larger. It has a large shop and a large mansion in the back, which is equivalent to the mansion of a high-ranking official.
Zhuo Hongli invited Mo Yunzhu in very enthusiastically, and Zhuo Yu felt a little creepy behind him.
After all, in his impression, this adoptive father was still very aloof, and was basically a humble gentleman to others. But along the way, he found that Zhuo Hongli greeted Mo Yunzhu with a smile, and it seemed that he was trying his best to please her.
It really made his adopted son feel uncomfortable, as if a person who was originally high and mighty had become an ordinary person.
"Yun Zhu, Wan Yao Pavilion is very big, and there are many beautiful small courtyards inside. You can live here peacefully. Yu Er lives in Xue Yu Pavilion, and you can live in Xue Ling Pavilion not far away from him. How about that?"
After Zhuo Hongli brought Mo Yunzhu in, he looked at the house that looked like a garden, pointed at the exquisite pavilion and asked.
"Thank you, Mr. Zhuo. I won't be polite then." Mo Yunzhu liked this big house at first sight, and she was jealous of the old man's power.
With such a large house and shop in the center of the imperial city, you will never have to worry about food and clothing for the rest of your life.
"Yunzhu, let me take you to Xueling Pavilion." Zhuo Yu said to Mo Yunzhu.
Mo Yunzhu nodded, and Zhuo Hongli smiled and said, "I'll have the servants go over later. If you need anything, just tell me. You must live as comfortably as at home."
Mo Yunzhu thanked him again, and then followed Zhuo Yu along the side eaves walkway to Xueling Pavilion.
"Yunzhu, that's Wanqing Pavilion, where my adoptive father lives." Zhuo Yu pointed to Mo Yunzhu.
Mo Yunzhu raised her eyebrows. It seemed that Zhuo Hongli's arrangement was very deliberate. Her Xue Ling Pavilion was said to be very close to Zhuo Yu's Xue Yu Pavilion, but in fact it was closer to his Wan Qing Pavilion. It was just that there was a rockery in the middle that seemed to block it.
But for experts, the straight line distance is much closer.
"Take a break and go out to get some information." Mo Yunzhu said.
"You can rest today. I will ask someone to find Ji Xingyun, and I will also inquire about the Fan family." Zhuo Yu was afraid that she was too tired.
Mo Yunzhu thought for a moment and said, "Let me see. If I can't sleep well, I'll take Yuan Qing and Chang Teng out for a walk."
Zhuo Yu thought for a moment and said, "Well, I'll find someone from my family to take care of you."
Mo Yunzhu's eyes lit up and she nodded.
When she entered Xueling Pavilion, there were many rooms inside, all of which were cleaned very cleanly. Soon four servants and four maids were sent in to serve her.
The corners of Mo Yunzhu's mouth twitched. This was better than the treatment she received in the General's Mansion. Zhuo Hongli was being too nice to her.
