Chapter 336 Beautiful Spider Spirit VS Cold and Ascetic Monk 40
Yu Yao lowered her eyes slightly, thoughts in her heart were surging, she opened her red lips lightly: "Then take care of yourself."
Dugu Ye hugged tightly She felt her warmth, and felt very reluctant to give up, "Don't worry, I will protect myself. I will come back to find you when the matter in the capital is settled."
In the night, the two hugged each other. While lying down, it was as if time stood still at this moment.
Neither of them mentioned Xuanji, nor did they talk about the unhappy things. They just hugged each other tightly, feeling the warmth of each other.
Dugu Ye left quietly at dawn. Yu Yao looked at his leaving figure and the empty bed, feeling full of sadness and reluctance.
She didn’t know what happened in the capital, but it must have been a storm.
She doesn't care what others do, she only hopes that Xuanji and Duguye will be well.
With the departure of Dugu Ye and Xuan Ji, Lianhua County seems to have returned to its former tranquility.
Yu Yao teases An An and Youyou every day. In her spare time, she designs some clothing and bag styles and sends them to the store, so that the female celebrity masters can make them and sell them.
Yaohuafang's business is as good as ever, and the new shopkeeper, Shen Yue, is also very capable and manages the store in an orderly manner, so she doesn't need to worry.
On this day, she was playing with An An and Youyou in the house. The two children could already crawl, and they often crawled around curiously.
If you’re not careful, you won’t know where to climb.
In order to make it easier for the children to play, she laid a thick and soft mat on the ground with various small toys placed on it.
The sharp corners in the house are also wrapped up to prevent children from accidentally touching them when playing.
"Wife, mother, catch it."
Youyou crawled in front of Yu Yao on hands and feet, waving her little hands, trying to catch the colorful ball in her hand.
An An sat aside and giggled, throwing the little wooden horse aside, and crawled over to grab the colorful ball in her hand.
“Okay, mother, let’s throw the ball to you, okay? Let’s see which of you can catch it first?”
Yu Yao smiled and gently put the colorful ball in her hand. Throw it into the air.
The two little guys screamed with excitement, crawling on their hands and feet to catch the colorful ball. The two brothers and sisters were fighting over each other. Either you would knock me down, or I would knock you down. It was so cute.
She squatted on the edge and watched the two children playing, always paying attention not to touch them, with a smile on her face.
At this moment, Uncle Zhou's voice came from the door, "Madam, a letter from the capital."
Yu Yao looked away from the two children, looked at the door, and said doubtfully: "Whose letter is it?"
Uncle Zhou stood at the door, scratching his head in embarrassment, and said awkwardly: "I can't read, I just heard the person who sent the letter said it was sent from the capital."
She nodded slightly, stood up, patted the non-existent dust on her clothes, walked to the door, and took the letter from Uncle Zhou.
Looking at the signature on the envelope, she knew it was from Liu Yun.
Opened the envelope and browsed it carefully.
In the letter, Liu Yun described in detail the process of inspecting the store after arriving in Beijing, as well as the progress of preparations after selecting the location of the Yaohuafang branch.
The new store is located in the outer city, at No. 18 South Street.
The courtyard is also located in the outer city, not far from South Street. It is located at No. 28 Wuyi Lane, which is only a short walk away.
For this matter, Liu Yun specially explained in the letter that the people living in the inner city were all nobles of the imperial court and officials of third rank or above.
Houses and shops in the inner city are not something you can buy with money. They require strong backing and connections.
Although the outer city is not as wealthy as the inner city, it is more prosperous. Many petty officials and wealthy families in the capital also live in the outer city.
Of course, most people in the capital also live in outer cities, but they live in different areas.
Compared with the inner city, the outer city is more suitable for opening a shop.
Yu Yao has never been to the capital of this world, so she doesn’t know that there are inner and outer cities.
But it’s understandable.
She has no objection to Liu Yun's choice.
The letter said that the new store is being renovated, and its style will be completely based on the Yaohua Fang in Lianhua County. A dozen experienced nemesis masters have been hired. Once the store is renovated, it can be opened on an auspicious day.
Finally, he asked her when she would go to the capital.
Seeing Uncle Zhou staring at her curiously, Yu Yao smiled and did not hide anything, "The letter was sent by Liu Yun. She told me that she had chosen a branch address in Beijing. I bought it and am currently renovating it. I also bought a house there and asked me when I would come over."
"Then. It's a great thing. I was originally worried that Shopkeeper Liu would take the money and run away, but that's just a villain."
Uncle Zhou smiled sheepishly, and then asked: "When will Madam be ready? Heading to the capital? "
Since Madam asked Shopkeeper Liu to buy a house in the capital, she must have plans to go to the capital.
"Just these few days, try to get to the capital before the new store opens."
Yu Yao smiled and put the letter away, glanced inside the house, and saw two children playing happily, nothing happened. Then he told Uncle Zhou:
"Uncle Zhou, go hire a few carriages to go to the capital. Pack up your things at home. You don't need to bring anything else. Just bring some gold and silver and a change of clothes." , and something to eat on the way."
She paused, and then said: "You and Aunt Zhou are going together, taking Goudan with you, we may not be back in a short time."
< br>Uncle Zhou was slightly startled, frowned and said: "Madam, we are all gone, what should we do here? Such a good house can't be abandoned, right? And what are the arrangements for Madam in Yaohuafang?" She asked. He smoothed his hair, thought for a few seconds, and then said: "It doesn't matter. I still have Aunt Zhao here. I will leave the house to her. I will explain the situation to her and leave some money for her for daily expenses."
She glanced at An An and Youyou who were crawling around in the house, and continued: "As for Yaohuafang, Shen Yue is a reliable person, and I will also go and explain to her about the store in the future. The accounts and income were sent through the bank.”
Aunt Zhao and Shen Yue both used the heartfelt charms, so they didn’t have anything to worry about.
Although Uncle Zhou didn't know why Madam trusted Aunt Zhao and Shopkeeper Shen so much, he thought that Madam always judged people accurately and never made mistakes, so he didn't say anything.
"What the madam said is that I will make arrangements now."
As soon as he finished speaking, Uncle Zhou turned around and left.
Yu Yao returned to the house and continued to play with the two children.
Aunt Zhou learned the news that she was going to Beijing and began to pack her luggage in a hurry.
In the evening, she called Aunt Zhao to her side and explained to her carefully that she was about to go to Beijing and that she had entrusted her to take care of the house.
Aunt Zhao listened carefully, "Madam, don't worry, I will take good care of the house."
She nodded slightly and gave Aunt Zhao some money for daily expenses.
Just as he was about to ask Aunt Zhao to step back, he suddenly remembered something and said again: "Aunt Zhao, if someone comes to see me after I leave, just tell them that I went to the capital."
She was about to tell Aunt Zhao the address in Beijing, but she was afraid that she would not be able to remember it because she was too old and would forget it in the blink of an eye.
After thinking about it, he stood up and walked to the desk, pulled out a piece of rice paper, dabbed the ink on the brush, and wrote the addresses of residences and shops in the capital on it.
Yu Yao put down the brush, gently dried the ink, and handed the rice paper to Aunt Zhao, "Aunt Zhao, this is the address of the residence and shop in the capital. If anyone comes looking for it, give this to them."
She was mainly afraid that Xuanji and Duguye would not be able to find anyone when they came back.
"Don't worry, Madam, I've written it down, old slave."
Aunt Zhao didn't know how to read, so she didn't read it, but carefully put away the rice paper in her hand.
She explained some other things and asked Aunt Zhao to step aside.
The next day, she went to Yaohuafang to find Shen Yue and told Shen Yue that she was going to Beijing.
When Shen Yue learned that his wife was coming to Beijing, she knew that Shopkeeper Liu's affairs had been settled, so she was not surprised.
"Don't worry, madam, I will take good care of Yaohua Fang. From now on, the store's monthly accounts and income will be sent to the capital through the bank."
Shen Yue looked at Yu Yao said seriously.
"I can rest assured that you will do the work."
She nodded slightly, sincerely, and had nothing to worry about. She explained some other matters and left.
Aunt Zhou moved quickly and quickly put away all the gifts.
Yu Yao went over to check it and found that there was no problem.
Uncle Zhou has also hired a carriage. Although it is not gorgeous, it is spacious enough.
There were three carriages in total. She and her two children rode in one, Uncle Zhou and Aunt Zhou took Goudan in one, and the last one was used for ceremony.
The group of people got on the carriage, which soon left Lianhua County and drove slowly towards the capital.
In Fengyi Palace, candlelight flickered, reflecting the queen's pale face.
Her eyes had lost their former sharpness, leaving only a feeling of loneliness and desolation.
The palace people around her had already dispersed, leaving her alone in the palace, waiting for the man she was afraid of but had to face.
The door opened slightly, and Emperor Xuanwu walked in slowly, his eyes as cold as ice, piercing the Queen's heart.
The room was so quiet that only the breathing of the two people could be heard.
"Queen, I ask myself that I have never treated you badly. I have given you honor and status, and even made your son a prince. Why did you kill Min'er?"
Emperor Xuanwu stopped in front of the queen. , his expression contained no trace of warmth, every word seemed to be squeezed out from between his teeth, and there was suppressed anger hidden in the coldness.
The queen raised her head and looked at him blankly, with a faint smile on her lips, as if she was mocking herself.
"Your Majesty, why can't I understand what you are saying? Didn't Concubine Min's sister die in childbirth? When did I harm her?"
Emperor Xuanwu sneered, He pulled out a volume of secret letters from his sleeve and threw them hard in front of the queen. The letters were scattered on the floor, just like the love between them as husband and wife for more than 20 years.
"Look, this is the confession of Nanny Qin next to you, as well as the secret notes of the imperial physician. Every word of it points to you as the mastermind behind the scenes."
The queen slowly picked up the letters with trembling hands. , reading word by word, his face became paler.
She clenched her fingers into fists, and her long pointed nails dug deeply into her flesh, but she felt no pain.
"Your Majesty, is it too hasty to convict my concubine based on these one-sided words?"
"One-sided words? Zhao Wanying, do you know that everyone in this palace , people are afraid. If the evidence is not conclusive, how can I easily touch you?"
Emperor Xuanwu took a step closer, his eyes as cold as frost, piercing the Queen's soul.
