Chapter 145

: Going far and far

Yu Qingping walked out of the store, stopped under the horse and said to Huang Ying, "Go and find the shopkeeper and buy the phoenix hairpin just now for a price of 100 taels of silver. Tell him that from now on, the style of this hairpin will not be sold again."

Huang Ying nodded and turned around and entered the store.

He Wanyu is still arguing with Mrs. He. "So self-deprecating is not like the nature of a mother. Haven't you often taught me that people will go to high places and water will flow to low places? If the He family goes up, they can only become a royal relative. They have been worried about marrying their father for so many years. If they are lucky, wouldn't their mother stand up in front of their grandmother?"

Mrs. He's face was tense: "Where did you know that I was worried about what happened back then?"

"I can understand what the Empress Dowager said last time in Cining Palace."

Mrs. He couldn't help but show some embarrassment, followed by a little annoyed. Just as she was about to speak, He Wanyu grabbed her hand: "Mother! I am your biological daughter. Can't you still have the same heart as me? For the sake of your daughter and for yourself, let's buy this hairpin and fight for it?"

"Mrs. He, Miss He, I'm sorry, someone has already asked for this gold hairpin. Why don't you look at other styles and have you like it? We have many more..."

"Shopkeeper, how are you doing business? We are still watching this golden hairpin, you are going to take it away. What does this mean?" He Wanyu stood up with the golden hairpin.

The shopkeeper bowed and said, "Miss, I'm really sorry. This time the customer bought it at a price of 100 taels of silver higher than the original price. This is better. If you are willing to pay the same price, then how about giving this gold hairpin to you?"

"It's one hundred taels higher?" Mrs. He also stood up, "Then how much is its original price?"

"Three hundred and eighty taels of silver, no penny can be lost."

Now the mother and daughter were both impressed. "The price increase of 100 taels? That would be nearly 500 taels of silver!"

“That’s right.”

The He family's mother and daughter stopped talking.

Although Mrs. He is the eldest grandmother of the He family, because her parents' family is not prominent, the process of getting married was quite special. After getting married, she was still not loved by her mother-in-law. Now the second grandmother in the He family is giving her second grandmother. Mrs. He has no power and no other money, and she has no other benefits. The dowry she had done her best to promote her decent work. Maybe when will the mother's family still rely on her to help? How dare she use the money at hand?

Of course, she also held her breath when the golden hairpin was snatched away in person. She really couldn't be ruthless and could take it out just by taking it.

The shopkeeper had a very wink. While holding the golden hairpin in his hand, he smiled and said, "It's better to look at this golden hairpin carefully. What are the better items to see for you?"

After saying that, he left with the golden hairpin.

He Wanyu chased her out and looked at it unwillingly. The shopkeeper handed over it with a maid who was dressed in decent clothes - the one who intercepted her halfway was indeed a woman!

"When I know who it is, I will make you look good!"

...

Zhao Su was thinking about something, and after the matter was done, she went straight to find Hou Qingyun.

But Hou Qingyun was not at home, so he went to Zhang Yu's mansion, and Zhao Yu also went. After asking, he found out that Zhang Yu's birthday was not invited, so he invited Hou Qingyun to have a few drinks. Zhang Huaishun, the nephew who lived in the mansion, invited Zhao Yu as well.

Zhang Yu is a handsome man described in the original text. He praised him as gentle and handsome, and Zhao Su was indeed convinced of these words after seeing him. She had a natural affection for good-looking people. In addition, Zhang Yu was not bad for herself on weekdays and never criticized herself. Zhao Su rolled up her sleeves and cooked, made lotus seeds and plum dishes with ready-made lotus seeds and plum dishes, and then took a roast goose from the small fire kiln, cut it, cut it, put it in a food box, and took it to the Zhang family with plum sauce.

Zhang Yu and the others had already set up the table in the open opening. Seeing the big food box brought by Hua Xiangrong behind her, he said in surprise: "Sister Su, are you?"

"Congratulations to Uncle Zhang! I wish you a day every year and a day every year!"

Zhao Suzheng gave a big gift and then put the dishes on the table.

Zhang Yu looked at it and smiled: "Girl is kind. No wonder Brother Huai said that you have superb cooking skills. In this way, Uncle Zhang has to reply to you. Tomorrow, you come to the Imperial Gate of the Ministry of Rites and I will put a good tea set for you."

"Thank you, Uncle Zhang!" Zhao Su sat down next to Zhao Yu, greeted Zhang Huai on the opposite side. She saw the booklet at the table and said curiously: "Are you still discussing matters?"

"It is the charter for the Wanbao Festival." Zhang Huai said, "There are only half a month left, and all the yamen are preparing. The Ministry of Rites is the busiest at this time of year."

Zhao Su had no feelings about this festival, it was just the emperor's birthday. But he remembered that Fang Qingxue had gone to Zhang Yu for the matter of the Flower Moon Society, and asked: "Shishou Gong, who should have come to Uncle Zhang a few days ago. The matter of the Flower Moon Society is now blocked from Mr. He, which is really a headache now."

Zhang Yu shook his palm-leaf fan: "He has come to me. As long as there is no conflict with the people's livelihood and national policy, I will not obstruct you."

"Can Uncle Zhang help us find a solution to this problem?"

Zhang Yu stopped the palm-leaf fan: "It's fine, Minister Fang, why don't you ask me far? Why do you ask me if you don't ask me if the emperor doesn't ask?"

"Emperor? Is it useful to find the emperor?"

"Of course it's useful." Zhang Yu smiled, "The establishment of the Huayue Club is like building a fleet of seas. It is something that predecessors have not done before. No one knows what the outcome will be, nor is it sure that it will not cause chaos. It is normal for any new law to be released, and some people oppose it.

"The responsibility of the minister is to maintain the court's principles, and the emperor is the one who formulates the court's principles. Even though the emperor will not support it without any refusal, the emperor knows whether he has the ability to control the situation in the future if there is chaos in the future."

After listening to the silence, Zhao Su couldn't refuse to accept it.

But in this era, no one can guarantee that no trouble will happen after these things have been launched. Even Empress Dowager Lu has been through so many years and has been in the country for more than 20 years. She should not be willing to do it overnight, right?

Zhang Huai said: "It's not coming soon. You can find an opportunity to ask the emperor to give you advice."

Zhao Su nodded.

Next, when they talked about the matter in the court, she was unable to speak.

After the banquet ended, Zhao Yu said to him: "You can take a leave tomorrow and follow me to the Luo family as a guest."

Zhao Su remembered: "Her old teacher Luo has returned to Beijing?"

"I'm back. I arrived the day before yesterday. I asked us to have tea tomorrow. I originally invited my father, but my father had to be busy and it would take a few days to go. Let me take my place first."
