Chapter 202 Waiting for the opportunity

It was getting late, Zhen Yiming and Zhen Yue stood up to say goodbye.

Zhen Yue really wanted to stay with Su Yujin for two more days, but thinking about her father and mother being punished for her fault at home, she could only go back with Zhen Yiming.

"Auntie must come to see Yue'er when she has time."

Before leaving, Zhen Yue was still reluctant to leave, "I will definitely come to visit my aunt when I have time."

"Okay." Su Yujin agreed with a smile.

After watching Zhen Yiming and Zhen Yue's carriage leaving in a grand manner, Su Yujin packed up the things Zhen Yiming gave her.

"Girl." Ai Cao handed over a small box, "This was given to me by Duke An Guo just now. He said that although the girl is capable and knows how to run a business, she will inevitably have to work hard. Everyone in the family should receive a monthly allowance. The girl is the daughter of the Zhen family."

Women should do the same, so here is the girl's monthly money accumulated over ten years, so that the girl can have pocket money on weekdays."

"An Guogong also said that if he gave it directly to the girl, she would definitely not accept it. He only gave it to the maid first and asked the maid to wait until they left before giving it to the girl. The maid had no choice but to accept it for the girl."

Su Yujin looked at the various banknotes and broken silver inside, and roughly estimated that there were about one or two thousand taels.

An Guogong was also interested.

"Take it first." Su Yujin closed the box and asked, "Mother Liu, go to the Huibin Building to bring back some dishes to eat in the evening. Well, just bring back the shrimp and tofu, fried lotus root, and braised catfish.

Let’s eat it with the pickles we developed ourselves.”

It's been a busy day, and Su Yujin doesn't want to overwork his subordinates.

"Yes, old slave, let's go now." Mother Liu and Ai Cao carried their food boxes and went out.

In the depth of winter, the master and servant finished their supper and went to bed early.

——

The next day, the morning light was slightly bright.

The carriage of His Highness the Third Prince left the palace gate and headed all the way to the most prosperous East Street in the capital, stopping in front of a shop called Zhenbaozhai.

It was still early and the shop hadn't opened yet, but a carriage was already parked at the door.

It's from He Yanxiu.

Seeing His Highness the Third Prince's carriage stop, He Yanxiu got out of the car and greeted him respectfully, "Your Highness the Third Prince."

"My cousin called me out in such a hurry just to come to Zhenbaozhai?" His Highness suppressed a yawn.

I was busy with household matters last night, and I was dragged up by He Yanxiu this morning. I was really sleepy.

"Exactly." He Yanxiu nodded, "I have no choice but to ask this Zhenbaozhai to only work for the royal family. I, the Minister of Household Affairs, can't buy anything when I get here, so I have to drive the Third Highness of Labor to a place.

trip."

"My cousin is also very filial." His Highness the Third Highness raised his hand, "After the rewards have been given in the past few days, my mother-in-law has selected some and sent them to my grandmother and aunt. I don't have anything useful here, so I happened to be with you today.

Cousin, let’s join together.”

There are too many, and he, the prince, can't take them out.

He Yanxiu couldn't help but twitch the corners of his lips, but suppressed his words.

While the two were talking, the door of Zhenbaozhai opened.

Zhenbaozhai welcomes and delivers royal family members every day. His Highness the Third Highness has been here before, and the people in Zhenbaozhai also know about it, so they rush inside and invite them to the private room for tea.

The shopkeeper smiled brightly, "What kind of jewelry would your Third Highness and Lord He want to make?"

The Third Highness lowered his head to sip the tea, and He Yanxiu handed over the picture he had brought, "A Ruyi with gold inlaid with jade, the jade should be high-quality mutton-fat white jade, a head and face with red gold inlaid with rubies, and a pair of red gold with lotus flowers."

I don’t have to worry about the first two necklaces. I just need to get them done before New Year’s Eve and send them to my house. This gold necklace is for my little year, so I have to make it quickly.”

The shopkeeper took the drawings and made a rough estimate, "Don't worry, Mr. He, the craftsman with the best arrangement will definitely make it on time."

While the shopkeeper was explaining to the waiter, His Highness the Third Prince came over and said, "This Ruyi is going to my grandmother, and I'm going to give it to my aunt. This gold necklace...who is my cousin going to give it to?"

"After several days of not seeing each other, Your Highness looks more and more like the old aunt in the palace." He Yanxiu rolled his eyes.

His Highness the Third Prince ignored him and just counted his fingers, "The person who allows you to give something must be someone close to you. If you want to give something to an elder, a gold necklace is not suitable. Among her peers, only Miss Lu can afford it."

Yes, but according to my cousin’s temperament, he probably won’t bother so much with what he wants to give to Miss Lu.”

"After much thought, my cousin probably wants to give it to Miss Su who is far away in Qinghe?"

Because of Lu Wenjing, there are many people who know Su Yujin, and His Highness is one of them.

He Yanxiu didn't answer, picked up the tea cup next to him and drank half of it in one breath.

The best Longjing leaves the fragrance in your teeth and cheeks.

After a long while, He Yanxiu said something, "Your Highness, please don't make random guesses."

"My cousin's words can be hidden from my grandmother and aunt, but they can't be hidden from me." His Royal Highness chuckled, "If my cousin can be so considerate, it seems that I will be able to drink the wedding wine soon."

"I'm afraid it's not possible yet." He Yanxiu said lightly.

"Why?" His Highness thought for a while, "My grandmother has always understood justice, and my aunt is even more kind and doesn't care about family status."

What's more, the He family doesn't expect a daughter-in-law to improve their family status.

"Of course there is no need to worry in the He family." He Yanxiu said solemnly, "But it is impossible for her to stay in the He family and not go out for the rest of her life."

When His Highness the Third Highness heard this, he fell silent immediately.

Indeed, although the housewife often wanders around the house and takes care of trivial matters, she also often goes out to socialize.

Moreover, the social quarrels between women in the inner house, flattering the superior and suppressing the inferior, are far worse than those in the officialdom.

When the time comes, it seems that Miss Su will marry into the He family and enjoy great glory. However, considering the status of the He family at this time, although it is high-ranking in the capital, it is not the first. Miss Su's family background will inevitably be looked down upon by some people.

talk.

Although people live in this world, they don’t need to care about many things, and many words can fall on deaf ears.

But for He Yanxiu, he probably didn't want Miss Su to face these hardships.

"But cousin..." His Highness the Third Highness hesitated, "You can't stay away from marrying her for the rest of your life."

"How is that possible?" He Yanxiu raised his eyebrows, "When the time comes, it will be fine."

"My cousin said this is the right time..."

When was that?

"Wei Chen, please work harder, and your Third Highness, please work harder, and the time will naturally come." He Yanxiu patted His Highness on the shoulder and spoke earnestly.

His Highness the Third Highness nodded involuntarily.

Indeed, the husband's status usually determines his wife's status in the social circle.

He Yanxiu worked harder, made some political achievements, was promoted in official positions, and when he reached a high and powerful position, others did not dare to offend him. Even if he made a secret slander, they did not dare to say it to his face.

This is indeed the so-called time has come.

But what did He Yanxiu mean when he said he worked hard...
