Chapter 122 Calculation
Xie Jingmo has never been short of money in his life.
At this moment, I really felt like I couldn't speak.
But he couldn't walk, and he couldn't give Yun Zhao's hard-earned money to others.
"Can you please ask your lady to get up so I can say a few words to her?" Xie Jingmo said.
The maid covered her mouth and smiled. "General, you are too impatient. You have just made up your mind, and now you are rushing to find the young lady. But the young lady has really fallen asleep. Even if she wakes up in the middle of the night, it will be bad for both the young lady and the general's reputation if someone sees her. If the general wants to see the young lady, why don't you come back with the agreed wedding date? Then you can see her, right?"
After the maid finished speaking, she bowed and turned to go into the yard.
After a moment, the candles in the yard went out and the room fell into cold silence.
A long time passed.
"Are they gone?" Lin Ruyu asked in a low voice.
The maid responded in a low voice, "Miss, let's go."
Lin Ruyu didn't say anything, but just stared at the ceiling above her head and slowly narrowed her eyes.
No matter who Xie Jingmo originally intended to give this gold to.
Now that it is in her hands, there is absolutely no reason to return it.
She had already realized at the city gate today that the silver was not for her, but so what? She felt that the gold was for her, and that was enough!
Before Lin Ruyu closed her eyes and fell asleep, she whispered to her maid, "Tomorrow, go buy some wedding candies on the street and distribute them along the way. If anyone asks, just say they're the wedding candies for me, Lin Ruyu, and Xie Jingmo, the prince of the Xie family!"
The maid replied in the darkness, "Yes."
Lin Ruyu added, "Go earlier, and let Xie Jingmo come to me for the gold, but he won't be able to open his mouth."
After saying this, Lin Ruyu slowly fell asleep.
Yun Zhao moved to the palace of Concubine Yi. Concubine Yi suffered from severe morning sickness, so she followed the eunuchs out to find some relief.
Just as she reached the scene of the commotion, someone came over from afar with a smile on his face and stuffed a handful of candy into her hand.
"Is that Doctor Yun?"
Yun Zhao recognized that this was the maidservant beside Lin Ruyu.
"It's great news. General Xie made an engagement for my young lady yesterday. My young lady said that everyone should share in the good fortune, so she asked me to buy wedding candies and distribute them on the street." As she spoke, the maid stuffed another handful of candy into Yun Zhao's hand. "Doctor Yun is not young anymore, is he? Eat more so that you can find a good husband."
Yun Zhao smiled softly, "Thank you."
The conversation should have ended here, but the maid did not leave.
Instead, he smiled and said to Yun Zhao, "The general loves my daughter and has given her many gifts. He also gave her a bag of gold in a black purse. In addition to gold, there are also gold leaves in it. The general said that we should use these to buy wedding candy and make everyone happy."
The smile on Yun Zhao's face faded a little.
"Gold, and gold leaves?"
The maid pretended to be ignorant. "Yes," she took out a gold leaf from her bosom. "Look, there is still one left."
The capital city is very big and has a lot of people.
The thin golden leaves turned into wedding candies for Xie Jingmo and Lin Ruyu.
That was originally the capital that Lin Ruyu used to make a living.
"The general also said that this little bit of stuff is nothing. If it's not enough, he told me to go to the general's mansion to get it. He was in a hurry yesterday and didn't bring much with him, just these few gold leaves."
The smile on Yun Zhao's face disappeared completely.
He looked coldly at Xie Jingmo in the distance.
When Xie Jingmo came over, the maid had already gone far away.
"General, I don't understand what you mean? Are you trying to disgust me on purpose? You use my money to buy your wedding candy. General, you are really capable!" Yun Zhao was directly angry.
After she said that, she turned and left.
Xie Jingmo pulled her, but Yun Zhao was very angry and shook her hand.
A slap hit Xie Jingmo in the face.
Xie Jingmo's face suddenly darkened.
"You've gotten more and more irritable since arriving in Beijing!" Xie Jingmo's temper also flared up. "It's just a few gold pieces and some gold leaves. You've already given them to me, not to mention the gold itself. Do you really care so much about it?"
"Besides, you know whether you are angry about the gold or me making a promise to Lin Ruyu."
"Yun Zhao, it's not good for a woman to be jealous."
"I've said before that I'm Lin Ruyu's equal wife. If you agree now, it still counts. I'll give you some gold leaves later, and you can buy wedding candy to make everyone happy. Your Yun family will also be considered respectable. How do you say that?"
Yun Zhao was extremely angry!
Gritting his teeth, he said, "I can't bear the blessing of the General's Mansion! Consider that the gold is used to buy a coffin for the General in the future!"
Yun Zhao left after saying this.
Xie Jingmo grabbed her arm and said, "You have to be so stubborn, right? I've asked you so many times, why do you have to be so stubborn?"
Yun Zhao nodded. "Yes, I am that stubborn. And I advise the general to marry Miss Lin as soon as possible! Otherwise, she will really think that you have someone else in your heart!"
She is not a fool.
She saw clearly the maid's little thoughts.
Before, Lin Ruyu was pretending to be sick.
Now the streets are full of wedding candies. She is standing so far away, and the maidservants see her from afar and chase after her. Isn't it because they are afraid of her?
Yun Zhao shook off Xie Jingmo's hand, turned around and followed her eunuch back to the palace.
Xie Jingmo looked at Yun Zhao leaving with a frown on his face and swung his sleeves fiercely!
Xie Jingmo entered the palace with a gloomy face.
The emperor originally had a beautiful woman by his side, but when he saw Xie Jingmo come in with a dark face, he immediately turned his head away.
"What are you doing here again?" The emperor felt that he had done something wrong in his previous life, which was why he was a brother to Xie Jingmo.
Xie Jingmo didn't want to go back to the palace, nor did he want to go to the military camp. After thinking it over, he had no choice but to bother the emperor.
The emperor waved his hand and asked the people around him to leave.
Then he said helplessly, "What else do you want from me? I called a room full of civil and military officials, but none of them were willing to give Lin Ruyu a housekeeper position, and they were unwilling to acknowledge her as their goddaughter. I have tried my best, but the Queen Mother thought this this morning and called me in to give her a lecture."
The emperor looked gloomy.
Xie Jingmo was emotionless again, "Then wait a little longer, I'm not in a hurry to get married."
Upon hearing this, the emperor became even more angry!
"What did you say?!"
"Three years ago, you knelt on this brick where you're standing and told me that you would marry no one but Lin Ruyu. Do you remember?"
"Now I'm working myself to death to do this for you, and you say you're not anxious?!"
"Come on, tell me what you think."
Just as he finished speaking, the eunuch came in and said, "Your Majesty, Concubine Yi has come to see you with some bird's nest and lotus seed soup."
The emperor immediately said, "It's hot outside, and she's heavy. What is she doing here? Send her in quickly."
After Concubine Yi entered the room and bowed, the emperor hurriedly asked someone to stand up.
Concubine Yi turned her head, glanced up and down at Xie Jingmo, and then slowly withdrew her gaze.
"Your Majesty, I am pregnant, thanks to Imperial Physician Yun. She is now living in my Fangfei Palace and will take care of me until I give birth. It has been very hard work, Your Majesty, please reward her well."
The emperor smiled softly and asked, "What do you think of the reward?"
Concubine Yi stood there with a smile on her face, her eyes fixed on Xie Jingmo. "Gold, silver, and jewelry are naturally not a problem, but I feel that a woman as good as Doctor Yun needs to be paired with a good man, so as not to let her down for all the care she has shown me."
