Chu Jiayu and Zhu Bo: "..."

Their eyes almost popped out, and my sister (girl) just said, what did you borrow? Borrow the money?

Both of them thought they had heard it wrong!

Why can she speak out? She is a lady from a wealthy family, and there are outsiders here. If you are not close to someone, who would lend her money?

I don’t know if others will look down on her any more, especially the young master in front of me who didn’t know what she would think. The fifth girl of the Hou Zhongyi’s mansion, the future wife of the Hou Ping, and the future third young lady of the Duke Rong’s mansion, actually borrowed money from a strange man?

Fu Guanzhang was also shocked by Chu Xinyu's words of borrowing silver directly. He grew up so old that no girl had ever borrowed money from him. Why did this girl ask him to borrow money as soon as she opened her mouth? Does she trust herself, or do she think that women would easily get it when she asked men to borrow money?

Does she know that her behavior will make people feel frivolous?

Moreover, how could she know that his surname is Fu? Does she know herself?

But he hasn't seen this girl before?

Chu Xinyu didn't think so much. She had a short-circuit at this moment. When she saw him, she didn't want to be a stranger with him. She wanted to give him an impression of remembering herself, but she didn't expect that if she borrowed money, she would blurt out.

She thought that maybe she wanted to owe him money at that time and would pay it back then, thank him and invite him to dinner. If she had contact with him for too much, she would become familiar with him.

But she forgot that in the Xu Dynasty, men and women would be criticized if they had contacted each other alone, especially those who had been married.

At this moment, she regretted it, but she had already said that even if she regretted it, her intestines would not be able to take it back inch by inch.

"No..." She was about to say that if you don't lend it, she said the word "no" and heard his nice voice coming, "How much do you want to lend?"

When he asked this, he obviously wanted to lend it to her.

Chu Xinyu was stunned.

Chu Jiayu and Zhu Bo were also shocked by his words.

Chu Xinyu looked up at him. He was really willing to lend money to her. But why was he willing to lend money to a strange girl? Aren't he afraid that she would not repay it if she borrowed it?

But since he spoke, she had no reason not to borrow it, so she said: "One hundred and fifty taels."

Fu Guanzhang said nothing and just took out two silver notes to her, one hundred taels each. In fact, he didn't understand why he borrowed money to her because her tears just now touched his heartstrings?

Why does he feel this way? It seems to be a bit evil.

So refreshing? Didn’t he ask who she is? Do you have the ability to repay him?

However, since he dared to borrow, Chu Xinyu took the silver notes without hesitation and gave them to the shopkeeper together with the two pieces he took out by Zhu Bo, "retrieve the fifty taels back to this young master."

She said that if she borrowed 150 taels, she would not get more.

The shopkeeper immediately asked someone to go find change and gave the box to Chu Xinyu.

Chu Xinyu asked someone to pack these things, and then asked the shopkeeper for pen, ink and paper. She wrote a note for him, "This is a loan note, I will ask someone to pay the money to you."

Just now when she was writing ink, Fu Guanzhang glanced and saw the word "IOU", so he took it and did not open it immediately, but folded it into his sleeve. He was not a stingy person, he didn't take it seriously. Even if she didn't pay it back, he wouldn't say anything, anyway.

The shopkeeper had already put the packed jewelry on the table, and Zhu Bo came forward to hold it in his arms. Chu Jiayu helped Chu Xinyu up. The shopkeeper originally wanted to send them out in person, but there was a distinguished guest here, so he asked the client who had just come in to give it to him and he would greet the guests himself.

"Young Master, your customized jade hairpin has been made, please wait a moment." The shopkeeper asked someone to soak a pot of Biluochun again, and asked someone to get the jewelry that Chu Xinyu didn't choose just now.

Fu Guanzhang swept the jewelry and asked, "What did that girl buy just now?"

The shopkeeper told Chu Xinyu about the jewelry one by one and asked: "Young Master, do you want to choose one or two pieces? These are all newly purchased."

When the shopkeeper heard that Chu Xinyu bought more than a dozen pieces of jewelry, nearly a thousand taels of silver, he frowned. It was really a waste of money to buy so many jewelry from a girl's house, but she didn't wear any jewelry on her head. She simply wore a white jade bead hairpin and two silk flowers on her hair bun. She was dressed in a simple manner, not like a rich girl wearing gold and silver.

However, people should not behave like a person. If they don’t wear it today, it does not mean they won’t wear it in the future.

The shopkeeper saw that he picked him a few times and didn't like him. Someone happened to come out with a slender brocade box and said, "Young Master, this is your jewelry."

Fu Guanzhang opened the brocade box, took out a jade hairpin inside and took a closer look. The handicrafts were pretty good and the weight was enough. Then he paid the final payment, got up and left with the brocade box.

The carriage was parked at the door. When he got on the carriage, he remembered something. He took out the loan note Chu Xinyu gave him from his sleeve, spread it out and looked at it, his eyes fixed on the words "Miss Chu Wu, Hou, Zhongyi."

He frowned. Could it be Miss Chu Wu who borrowed his money just now?

Chu Xinyu, who stole his sister's marriage?!

No wonder he thought she looked familiar. It turned out that she was Chu Xinyu!

His face suddenly became gloomy, and he kneaded the loan receipt into a ball and threw it on the floor, "Hello, Chu Xinyu! Even though he knew that I was Fu Yinghua's brother, he still dared to ask me about borrowing money?"

What does she mean? Are you playing with me?

...

At this time, Chu Xinyu didn't know that Fu Guanzhang had hated her, and was still in the joy of seeing her brother. Her brother looked like her father, but her face was a little pale and seemed to be sick. She actually wanted to stay with him for a while and wanted to talk to him, but she knew that each other's identities would not allow it.

He is the fifth son of the Fu family, she is the fifth daughter of the Chu family, and he also has another identity, the brother of "Fu Yinghua", and she is the future wife of Hou Hou in Peiping.

Her brother who had been thinking about her for more than ten years finally met. Unfortunately, she had no blood relationship with him and her identity became semi-opposite. If he knew that he had robbed the person his sister liked, he would definitely hate him.

My brother loved her very much, but unfortunately they had never really gotten along. If they had really gotten along, he would definitely recognize her.

Chu Xinyu lowered his head and stared at the jewelry box in his arms, with a faint layer of tears in his eyes. She remembered that her father asked someone to create it for her mother. She still remembered that when she packed her luggage and was about to return to Beijing, she saw her mother put her head and face in the box, then held her hand and pointed to the box and said, "The jewelry inside will be left for you to marry in the future. You are now thirteen years old. You have to prepare for a marriage two years after returning to Beijing. Although the rules for our family are that a woman is 18, but it is not long for five years, so you should still accumulate the dowry as soon as possible."

Things in the world are really unpredictable. Who knows that they will encounter robbers on the road? The whole boat has been scattered with soft muscles. They have no ability to resist. But they never expected that Xu Zhilan would be the one who drugged it, and they did not expect that she would collude with these robbers.

The robbers demand money, and Xu Zhilan demands their lives!

Now, these jewelry reappeared in front of her, as if she saw a dawn of hope!

Although she didn't know why these jewelry appeared in Jin Yutang, she could only explain that these robbers were too confident and thought that all those who knew about it had died. After four years, no one would recognize these jewelry and sell them out for a low price.

But there is still a blessing from the gods. Today, she not only bought the small part of the dowry that my grandmother saved for her, but also met her brother. This set of faces, and her brother also bought it for money.

My mother, I saw my brother. Although he couldn't recognize me now, it didn't matter. After I caught the murderer and exposed Xu Zhilan's true face, I would recognize him. Even if I couldn't recognize him, I would treat him well and protect him for the rest of my life.

Chu Xinyu thought silently in her heart, then remembered something and said to Chu Jiayu: "Xiaoyu, I like this flower hairpin on your head very much, I will exchange it for you." After that, she opened another jewelry box and took out a hollow treasure-inlaid jade hairpin for Chu Jiayu.

"Sister, no, if you like it, you can take it." Chu Jiayu gave her the flower hairpin on her head, but refused to ask for this jade hairpin. This one is dozens of taels more expensive than her flower hairpin, and she can't ask for it.

Chu Xinyu was most afraid of pushing around, so he simply raised his face and said, "You want it, otherwise I will be unhappy."

Seeing this, Chu Jiayu had to accept it.

Zhu Bo has never understood why girls buy so many jewelry? Moreover, these jewelry styles look good, but some of them seem to be not new, especially the three-layer jewelry box, which is so scary!

Does the girl have the habit of collecting such horror patterns?

When the Hou Mansion arrived, Chu Xinyu told Chu Jiayu that she would not tell others that she had bought so many jewelry today. If anyone asked about it, she would say that she had bought jewelry boxes, and that she would not tell others about borrowing money.

Chu Jiayu naturally understands that she is not a lingering person.

Chu Xinyu could also see that she was different from Chu Jiaqi and Chu Jiating. She had never flattered anyone. She was very low-key in doing things and could clearly understand her identity.

When he came back, he had just fallen and neither of them had lunch. Chu Xinyu had a small kitchen, so he invited Chu Jiayu to her small courtyard for dinner. Chu Jiayu did not refuse and went back after having dinner with her.

After Chu Xinyu had a meal, he took a nap for a while and then began to help Lin Chenyao draw another painting.

The original work of "Mid-Autumn Night" has always been with her. When she woke up at Puling Temple and recovered from her injuries, she secretly went down the mountain and went back to Zhejiang.

The house where she once lived was burned unrecognizable. According to locals, on the night when her family was killed, there were also a group of bandits here, killing people when they see them and robbing money when they see them.

It rained again that night, and they killed the people in the front and back alleys centered on her house, burning all the houses, with more than 300 households not leaving a single living person.

Even the tragedy that night, people from the Zhejiang Governor's Office failed to catch the murderer, which became a unsolved case.

But she knew that those people must be in the same group as the ones who killed her family. As long as they find the murderer who killed her family, they can avenge those innocent and tragic deaths!

That time she went back to find the silver and calligraphy and paintings she collected. There was a floor room under the ground of her garden. Except for her parents and her, even Lin Chenyao and Xu Zhilan didn't know about this floor room.

When she was leaving her parents, she was reluctant to live in this place for more than ten years, and she felt that she would come back. So she hid the original work of "Mid-Autumn Night" in the ground room, and some silver and some antique calligraphy and paintings she had secretly earned.

Because some valuable things cannot be taken away, but she is afraid that someone will sneak in and steal things, she secretly moved all the valuable things to the floor.

The house was burned, but the basement was nothing. She sneaked in and took away both the silver and calligraphy and paintings. These things were very useful to her. Fortunately, she had some help at that time, otherwise she would not be able to accomplish anything without the silver.

Later, the alleys of her house were to be rebuilt, so she secretly bought the land at home and asked someone to rebuilt it according to the previous pattern.

Although the house has been restored, things have changed.

Just as he was thinking, Danqing hurried in, "Girl, Miss Six and Cousin are back from listening to the opera."

Chu Xinyu was not interested in whether they came back, but Zhubo and Ziling were very interested and asked her what she had found?

Danqing said: "Mrs. The third aunt and cousin both came back with a smile. It seems that everything went smoothly for them. They said that the Lord of Funing County and the Eighth Girl of Anguo Hou will come to the mansion in two days."

These were what Danqing found out from the maid of Anshantang, but what made her angry was, "Miss, I heard that the third aunt promised to let you paint a portrait of the Funing County Lord and the Eighth Girl of Anguo Hou. Next month is the birthday of the Funing County Lord. She wants to draw a portrait as a souvenir. The third aunt promised you without authorization. They will come to the mansion the day after tomorrow, so that you can paint for them."

Chu Xinyu had no intention of listening to their gossip, but she couldn't pretend that Danqing didn't listen to these words. She stopped writing, "Who said it? Did she say it in person?" She didn't want to misunderstand because some of the words changed as they were passed.

"It was Sister Yuqin who said that the third aunt came back and told the old lady that one of the conditions for the Funing County Lord to forgive her cousin was that you could help her draw a portrait and she would not pursue the matter of the Jade Fracture Fan."

Zhu Bo was very angry when he heard this, "Why did she agree without permission? Why should she?"

Zi Ling also felt that the third aunt was too much. Her daughter wanted to push her to the girl when she got into trouble. Now she asked her if she agreed or not, and promised to ask her to help others draw.

"What do you think of the old lady?" Chu Xinyu asked.

Danqing said: "She scolded the third aunt a few words, but the third aunt said that the Yunjin Shu brocade is precious and the fifth girl doesn't want to take it out. She can understand, but painting is just a simple task. If you help others draw a picture, you can resolve this misunderstanding. Why not do it?"

What's the point!

Chu Xinyu looked down. She hated the most that people who thought they were self-righteous. It was indeed mother and daughter who had no brains in doing things. If she agreed this time, there would definitely be next time.

Besides, if she agreed, others would think that the third aunt would have the weight of speaking in the Hou Mansion. If she wanted to ask the Hou Mansion or her to do things in the future, she would definitely pass the third aunt. Such a brainless person would count the money for others if he was sold!

Sure enough, not long after, An Shantang's little maid came to pass the message, saying that the old lady invited her to An Shantang for dinner together.

Chu Xinyu knew that they wanted to make a gentle policy and asked her to agree to paint for Funing County Lord, but she felt uncomfortable, so she asked Zi Ling to send the maid, saying that she felt uncomfortable when she came back and had no appetite. She had already asked the kitchen to cook white porridge, and she would not be able to pass today.

The little maid just passed the message, and when she heard her say this, she went back to report her life.

But not long after, the little maid came again.
Chapter completed!
