Chapter 4: My cousin has a cold
Zhou had no intention of finding a good family for Yun Qiao. She just wanted to marry her off as soon as possible to prevent her from interfering with the matchmaker's marriage.
With such a stunning beauty by the side of the bridesmaid, any man would choose Yun Qiao.
Zhou also selected a few families for Yunqiao.
Chen Ruhai thought that Yunqiao was his sister's only daughter and was worried that she would not marry well, so he wanted to take care of it personally. However, he was a practical man, so he told the matchmaker that Yunqiao had a cold.
No matter how Chen Ruhai explained it, he knew that he would be cured if he could find a good doctor in the future.
But it still affected Yunqiao's marriage.
Originally, some good families politely declined when they learned that Yun Qiao might not be able to have children after marriage.
Later, there were rumors that Yun Qiao was a barren woman who could not only give birth but also could not take care of others.
In the small town of Qingfeng County, a little news could spread everywhere, and Yun Qiao's marriage was immediately ruined.
Zhou wanted to marry Yun Qiao off, but there was no one willing to marry her.
She is still worried now.
It is absolutely impossible to marry Yunqiao to a wealthy family as a wife, but there is some chance to make her a concubine.
But would her husband Chen Ruhai agree to let Yun Qiao become someone's concubine? Normally, he loved his niece the most, and Chen Ruhai would never agree to let Yun Qiao become a concubine in a small family.
But who would marry a woman who couldn't have children? Even if she was extremely beautiful, what difference would that make?
When Zhou thought of her niece, she hated her so much that she wanted to send Yun Qiao away more than anyone else to prevent her son from thinking about her.
The vixen was a slutty bitch who lived and ate at Chen's house and even tried to seduce her son.
Is he deliberately trying to stay in the Chen family forever?
She would never allow this to happen.
Besides, her son hasn't married yet, so how can he just keep a concubine at home?
If her son touched Yun Qiao, Chen Ruhai would definitely beat his son first and then let him marry Yun Qiao.
Even if he doesn't marry her, he will give her the status of a concubine.
In Kyoto, which son would take a concubine before getting married properly?
If this matter were to get out, not only would it be embarrassing, but it would also prevent her son from marrying a girl from a good family.
This is a losing business.
Zhou knew everything clearly in her mind.
What she was doing now was, on the one hand, preventing Yun Qiao from seducing her son Chen Pingshun, and on the other hand, making sure Chen Ruhai was satisfied by sending Yun Qiao away.
It would be best if we could get some extra money from Yun Qiao when we send her off.
"Don't worry about it. Think carefully about the rules and manners your mother taught you. When you go to your grandmother's house tomorrow, show me your respect."
"It won't be a problem at all to please your grandmother and find you a husband from a noble family."
When talking about marriage, Chen Xinniang showed a girlish smile on her face.
***
Yun Qiao got up early that day. She went to the big kitchen and helped the cook with her work quickly and skillfully.
The cook, Mama Yan, was from northern Shaanxi. Chen Ruhai was afraid that he would not be able to adapt to the food in Kyoto, so he brought Mama Yan with him.
However, all those who came before them stayed in the old house in northern Shaanxi to guard it.
Mother Yan is the old nanny of the Chen family. She also watched Yun Qiao's biological mother grow up.
Although Mother Yan seems old-fashioned and cold towards the young lady from the Chen family, she still takes care of her from time to time.
"Mother Yan, is there anything I can help you with?"
"My dear cousin, you are not feeling well. Just take a good rest and don't worry about the kitchen." Mother Yan is like that. She speaks directly and never beats around the bush.
But she has never done anything bad, and Yun Qiao thinks she is a kind person.
Yun Qiao always thought about finding something to do.
She was kind of craving the meat buns made by Yan's mother.
Before Yunqiao finished cooking, Mother Yan brought a plate of meat buns and placed them in front of Yunqiao.
"Cousin, as long as the lady is not here, just tell me what you want to eat and I will get it for you."
Mother Yan sighed and said.
In her eyes, Yun Qiao was also pitiful. She was so beautiful. If she could give birth, she would definitely marry into a good family in the future.
Yun Qiao asked, "Have my uncle and his family already gone to the Zhou family?"
Mother Yan: "I left a long time ago. I left early today and didn't have breakfast. I just steamed all these meat buns, and I gave them all to the people in the kitchen."
Yun Qiao smiled contentedly, took the meat buns and walked out. She called Xiao Tao who was washing clothes in the yard.
"Xiao Tao, come and eat some buns. Eat your fill before you do anything else."
"I just went to the kitchen, and Mother Yan said that my uncle and his family have already gone to Zhou's house. We will leave the house soon."
Xiao Tao still didn't dare. She looked at Yun Qiao and said timidly, "Miss, if we run away secretly, we will definitely be punished if the Madam finds out."
Punishing girls by making them kneel in the ancestral hall was a common occurrence...
But the girl always sits on the ground to rest when no one is watching.
But the lady would have her beaten three times with a stick until her buttocks were bruised.
"Then let me go out by myself later and you stay in the mansion."
She could understand Xiaotao's fear, after all, she had her uncle Chen Ruhai to protect her, but no one would protect Xiaotao.
She also protected Xiaotao, but it only resulted in Xiaotao being beaten more.
Xiao Tao immediately shook her head, her head almost shaking like a rattle, "That won't do. Kyoto is so big. What if you get lost?"
Yun Qiao ate the bun with a smile and urged Xiao Tao to eat quickly.
Yunqiao took two bowls of white porridge from Yan's mother's place. She thought the buns and white porridge were very delicious.
While Xiaotao was eating, Yunqiao took out her embroidery from the wooden box and found a plain cloth to wrap it up.
When no one was around, he sneaked out through the back door.
The Chen family had just arrived in Kyoto, and this house was given to them by the government. Of course, if Chen Ruhai left Kyoto in the future, this house would be taken back.
Chen Ruhai was not a high-ranking official, so a courtyard with three entrances and two exits was enough for him, but there were not many servants in it.
Look, we haven’t found a woman to guard the back door yet.
There is a servant guarding the main gate. It is difficult to enter through the back door, but it is convenient to go out.
After Yunqiao and Xiaotao left Chen's house, they went directly to Huajinfang, the largest textile workshop in Kyoto City.
It is bigger than the brocade workshop.
The two were about to go inside when they saw a man in armor accompanied by two armored and sword-carrying guards. They were tall and strong, and stood at the door of the shop with a fierce and imposing look.
Yun Qiao had never seen such a scene before and was a little scared.
She wanted to turn around and leave, but found that the person inside turned around and stared at her.
Yun Qiao had traveled to ancient times for ten years. Her behavior and even her inner thoughts had become half ancient. Seeing the generals wearing armor and carrying long swords, she was naturally afraid.
This was the kind of thing that happened in ancient times. If you weren’t careful, you could lose your life.
