Although Chai Yan thought he had washed himself away in front of Yan Xuehuai, he had already silently recorded a note for Yang Suyun in his heart.

There is no way, the Seventh Prince is cautious.

Coriander never doubted what happened to him and the woman, why did she think that Yang Suyun had a crush on him this time? There was no wind and no waves. Yang Suyun must have done something.

Of course, if Yang Suyun said that she had just walked a few steps faster, Chai Yan would never believe it.

It would be fine if Yan Xuehuai asked, but soon threw Yang Suyun into the sky.

It’s not that she believes that Yang Suyun does not have a crush on Chai Yan, but that she has confidence in Chai Yan. Chai Yan will not fall in love with others for at least ten years.

As for whether Chai Yan would be thought of by Yingying and Yanyanxiao, Yan Xuehuai actually didn't care much.

The dogs running around in the village like to chase cars the most. If you want to chase them, you can't catch up anyway.

Yan Xuehuai could detect Yang Suyun's abnormality, and Li Qiniang also saw it. When he saw Chai Yan away, Li Qiniang assisted Xia Erjie and Tang Ru, and asked Yan Xuehuai to come over. The mother and daughter took over the things given by the queen together. Li Qiniang asked, "You just went out with the Seventh Princess. Is it because of Miss Yang?"

Yan Xuehuai didn't hide it from it, and repeated what Chai Yan said to her. Li Qiniang breathed a sigh of relief. Regardless of whether Yang Suyun's attitude was caused by Chai Yan, Yang Suyun would not have any impact on her daughter's marriage.

So, like her daughter, Li Qiniang also automatically ignored Yang Suyun, a living person.

The mother and daughter got on a mule cart and went shopping on Baoquan Street. In addition to the gifts they brought to Mrs. Ye, Li Qiniang prepared gifts for all the neighbors on Huichang Street. Yan Xuehuai also bought rouge powder from the capital for Mrs. Chen Liu, bought silver hairpins for Tian Guihua's daughter Cuicui, and also brought gifts for Mrs. Hu, Sun Sheng and his wife, and Yu Min.

I bought too many things and couldn't fit my own mule cart, so I had to ask Daniu to hire another mule cart. It was not until it was getting dark that Li Qiniang and Yan Xuehuai returned home with a full load.

When he returned to Qingping Lane, he didn't expect Zhou Hong to come. In the past few days, he was a dragon who saw his head but didn't see his tail. He occasionally came over and left after dinner. When Li Qiniang asked him, he said he was with his brothers. Zhou Dazhu and Li Qiniang had several times and wanted to ask his sister-in-law about his affairs, but as soon as he opened his mouth, he used other topics to evade him.

After a while, Zhou Dada and Li Qiniang stopped asking. Perhaps the rumors were true. Zhou Wanqian and Zhou Xiaobai's biological mothers were either born in brothels or were captured ladies. Whether it was the former or the latter, it was inconvenient to say it, even Zhou Wanqian and Zhou Xiaobai didn't know.

Today, when Li Qiniang saw that her elder brother had finally come over, she asked with concern: "It's going to be set off in a few days. Do you have anything to bring back? Make a list for me and I'll help you buy it."

Zhou Hong smiled and said no, and said, "My cross-city is full of rough men, just have wine and meat. You can buy these when you go down the mountain, and you don't have to take them back from the capital."

Li Qiniang thought about it, so she told him to gather with her children more than the next few days.

Li Qiniang is not meddling in other people's business, she feels sorry for her nephews and nieces. Although these two children have no worries about food and clothing and do not lack money, they are obviously free-range. A father can only give money, but a mother looks like she has no mother.

Whenever this happened, Li Qiniang was grateful to Mr. Lu. If it weren't for Mr. Lu, Zhou Wanqian and Zhou Xiaobai would have nine lives and would have died long ago when they were in Pingcheng two years ago.

Zhou Hong agreed, but his steps did not stop. Like the previous few times, he ate in Qingping Lane and left.

Before the first month of the year, Qianweiju's business is still very good. Zhou Wanqian has been having dinner in the shop for several consecutive days before returning. Today, she was thinking about Yan Xuehuai's entry into the palace. She didn't wait for Ersha to pick her up, so she took Lu Jinxing's carriage back in advance.

When she walked to the entrance of the alley, she got out of the carriage. Lu Jinxing poked his head out of the carriage and said with a smile: "Do you want me to send you in? If there is a robbery, I will try to save the beauty as well."

Zhou Wanqian spat: "If you want to save it, you will save yourself. There are really robberies. I beat him up and search for teeth."

As soon as she finished speaking, she saw a black shadow walking out of Qingping Lane.

Lu Jinxing lowered his voice: "Look, there is really a disaster."

Zhou Wanqian didn't believe it, and she yelled at the black shadow: "Who?"

The black shadow walked towards her, and Zhou Hong said, "My daughter, it's me."

"Dad? Where are you going so late?" Zhou Wanqian didn't need to look closely, and he could tell that it was his unreliable father.

"I'll go back."

Zhou Hong said as he walked to the front of the carriage. Lu Jinxing wanted to retract his head, but it was too late. The irritating wind lamp on the carriage shone clearly on his face.

Zhou Hong had never met Lu Jinxing, but this kid had a greasy and frosty face and didn't look like a good person.

Zhou Hong asked with a calm face, "Who is this person?"

Lu Jinxing quickly got out of the car and wanted to give Zhou Hong a gift, but Zhou Hong didn't even look at him, and was looking at Zhou Wanqian.

Zhou Wanqian said: "He is Lu Jingzhai, who helps with work in the shop."

"Help to work?" Zhou Hong finally looked at Lu Jin, "Is he helping with his work in your shop? Can he work like this?"

Lu Jinxing suddenly felt a strong contempt, and he subconsciously raised his chest.

Although he looks very thin, he actually practices it.

But Zhou Hong stopped looking at him, fortunately, Zhou Wanqian was very loyal: "Although he can't do work, fortunately he doesn't have to pay for his salary, just take care of a meal every day."

Lu Jinxing: Why do I say it seems like I’m eating for nothing?

Zhou Hong frowned: "You are a big boss, you don't have to study or work as a job. You're in your shop all day?"

Zhou Wanqian laughed loudly, pointed at Lu Jinxing and said, "He was originally from the Ministry of Justice, but he was bombed out by the Ministry of Justice. He had no place to go, so he had to stay in our shop."

Lu Jinxing: Although what you said is true, can you not say it out loud? Do I want to be face-saving?

In fact, Chai Yan just asked him to help decorate the shop, but since he was swept out by the Ministry of Justice, his grandfather has educated him every now and then. He really didn't want to stay at home, so he simply went to Qianweiju.

But he was in Qianweiju, not for free, and he was not idle either.

But he found that Zhou Hong's brows were locked tighter. He wanted to explain, but found that there was no way to start. He was indeed bombarded by the Ministry of Justice, and he really had nowhere to go.

Zhou Hong buzzed: "Mr. Lu, thank you for sending your daughter back. It's getting late. Mr. Lu please come back. Zhou won't give it away."

Lu Jinxing was embarrassed, okay, why don’t you get out of here, so when will you wait?

When the Lu family's carriage went away, Zhou Hong said to Zhou Wanqian: "When I go back, my dad bought you a carriage, which is bigger and more beautiful than his."

Zhou Wanqian rolled his eyes: "This is the inner city. Do you want me to walk back with the carriage?"

Ordinary people cannot ride horses in the inner city, nor can they do horse-drawn carriages.

Zhou Hong was heartbroken.

"Daughter, is the money enough?" Zhou Hong said as he groped on his body. He found a few silver notes. He didn't even look at it and handed it to Zhou Wanqian. "Give it to it, my father gave it to you, take it to flowers, go shopping with Sister Huai, buy whatever you want."

Zhou Wanqian took over the silver notes, including fifty taels and one hundred taels, and the combined amount was a thousand taels.

"Okay, then I'm back, you can go back too."

Zhou Wanqian turned around and left. She had no hope of her father. From childhood to adulthood, as long as her father talked to her, whether it was a quarrel or a scolding, she ended up giving money.

Zhou Wanqian didn't know that until he watched her walk into the door, Zhou Hong did not leave.

What he should have thought of long ago was that his daughter was one year older than Sister Huai'er, and she should have been thinking about her bad boys long ago.

Look at the boy named Lu, who has a pretty face, must be a scholar.

Zhou Hong had never heard of someone working in the yamen, but was bombarded by the yamen. This man surnamed Lu was actually bombarded by the Ministry of Justice. Is this not doing his job or making a big mistake?

Wait, your surname is Lu?

Zhou Hong suddenly thought of a family. He didn't know the current circle of powerful people. The only one he could know was the only one with the surname Lu.

In the early years, the side branch of the Duke of Wei's Mansion was later joined by the Lu family, who was a guest in the Prince Yu's Mansion!

Thinking of this, Zhou Hong speeded up.

In Qingping Lane, when he saw Zhou Wanqian coming back, Li Qiniang hurriedly asked, "Have you met your father? He just left."

"I met at the entrance of the alley." Zhou Wanqianyangyangyang's silver notes, "I gave them to them by my father."

Li Qiniang actually hoped that Zhou Hong could talk more to her daughter, but when she saw the silver notes in Zhou Wanqian's hands, she guessed that it must have been given money.

Li Qiniang sighed and said to Zhou Wanqian: "Xiaoman and Xiaobai went to Mr. Wei's mansion, and they will not be able to stay tonight."

"Oh, I know." Zhou Wanqian was not worried about Zhou Xiaobai. With Xiaoman following him, Zhou Xiaobai would be fine. Xiaoman's little head is like Yan Huaishui, and he has a lot of thoughts.

"Auntie, your entry into the palace today is going well? The Empress's men did not bully you at all, right?" Zhou Wanqian asked.

Li Qiniang's heart is warm. What a good girl. Although she is a little stupid, she is very cute.

"It's very smooth for my aunt to enter the palace. No one bullies us. By the way, the Queen has given a lot of things today, including fabrics. I asked Yun Xiangyi from Baoquan Street to sew a few clothes for you. You can pick it up by yourself. If there is something inappropriate, you can also make the shop change it."

"Okay, thank you aunt." Zhou Wanqian was so happy that she liked the clothes that Li Qiniang sewed for her the most. They were all very unique styles and could not be bought in the ready-to-wear shop.

"Okay, go find Sister Huai. She bought a lot of things on shopping today, and bought them for you too." Li Qiniang said with a smile.

Zhou Wanqian went to Yan Xuehuai happily and harvested rouge powder and a pair of agate earrings.

Zhou Wanqian's ear pierced a while ago and just grew up. He took the earrings that Yan Xuehuai bought for her, but he couldn't wear them in front of the mirror. Yan Xuehuai helped her wear them. She shook her head and the earrings were shaking.

"It looks good, but it hurts to pierce my ears."

Use two mung beans to grind the earlobes until the earlobes are ground to no sense, and then pierce each other with awl.

"This is because you grew up. I pricked me when I was a kid, and I don't remember it."

Yan Xuehuai just said casually, but Zhou Wanqian remembered her father: "I can't remember to stab my ears even if my father beat me to death. My father is particularly unreliable."

Yan Xuehuai felt aroused in her heart and asked, "Have you heard your father talk about your mother? My aunt and my mother asked her several times, but your father didn't tell the truth."

Zhou Wanqian looked around and confirmed that no one would eavesdrop. Then he came to Yan Xuehuai and said seriously: "Do you still remember Wang Zhaodi?"

Of course Yan Xuehuai remembers that it was the woman who kidnapped Zhou Xiaobai.

"What's wrong with Wang Zhaodi?" Yan Xuehuai asked.

"Once, Wang Zhaodi told me that my mother was a Yangzhou thin horse. At that time, I didn't know what Yangzhou thin horse was. I thought it was a real horse, so I called Wang Zhaodi a donkey, a pig or a mule. I told my father about this, and I asked him if what Wang Zhaodi said was true. Guess what my father said?" Zhou Wanqian actually wanted to keep it in the end at this time.

Yan Xuehuai asked, "Your father scolded you and said you would actually believe Wang Zhaodi's nonsense, right?"

Zhou Wanqian shook his head: "Yan Huaishui, you don't know my father too much. Is my father such a person? My father, he..."

Zhou Wanqian imitated her father's appearance and touched her body, took out the silver notes given by her father just now, and then said in the tone of her father's speech: "Daughter, take Xiaobai to the restaurant, don't save money for her father."
