The widowed sister-in-law is embarrassed, she criticizes the villain like he only wants to be a love

After the snow stopped, the sun finally came out and the snow on the road began to melt slowly.

Yan Shu and Cui Lao agreed to set off for Beijing tomorrow.

This morning, Zhao and three other ladies, as well as three girls from the mansion, came to Xinghua Garden together.

Zhao held Yan Shu's hand and looked at her reluctantly: "I heard from my father that you will go to the capital tomorrow. I really don't want you to leave."

Seeing that Zhao's eyes were red, Yan Shu hurriedly picked up a handkerchief to wipe her tears.

"Don't be sad. I will definitely find time to visit you after I finish dealing with the affairs in the capital."

Zhao nodded and told the maid to send some things over: "It will be March when we get to the capital. I made you two sets of spring clothes, and some money for you to take with you. You will need to spend a lot of money when you get to the capital. After all, your father is a man, and he rarely interferes with the affairs of the harem. It is always a good idea to prepare more money for yourself. And these jewelry were selected by me personally. You asked Nanny Han to send back the ones that were sent to me before. This time I am personally sending it to my daughter, so please don't refuse it again."

Yan Shu looked at the things that the servants had brought to him. Zhao had said so much, if she didn't accept them, it would make the mother and daughter seem estranged.

"It is a blessing for me to have you care about me, mother. I will accept the clothes and jewelry, but you don't need to bring any money. I used to do some business in medicinal herbs and skin care products, and I have saved some money privately, which is enough for my daily expenses."

Zhao insisted on putting a few banknotes into Yan Shu's hands: "You earn your own money, and this is given to you by your mother. Just accept it. Send more letters home in the future, and we will all miss you."

After spending a few months together, Zhao felt the joy of having a daughter by her side. Now that Yan Shu was leaving, she felt really reluctant to let him go.

But girls cannot be kept at home when they grow up. Even if she is your own daughter, she will get married one day. Even if you are reluctant, you have to send her away.

"Thank you, mother." Yan Shu bowed to Zhao.

The second wife stepped forward and helped Yan Shu up: "Shu girl, my sister-in-law really treats you as her own daughter, and we all like you very much. We don't know how long we will not see each other after you go to the capital, so you must be safe and sound."

Yan Shu looked at everyone sincerely, "Well, I will definitely come back to visit you in the future. You should also take good care of yourself, Second Aunt. Remember to take the medicine I sent Cui Yan to deliver yesterday on time. The skin care products I sent to each room are enough for you to use for several months. I will arrange for someone to send some back to you later."

The Third Madam said, "Don't worry about us. It's important to take care of yourself over there."

The fourth lady's eyes also turned red: "I've gotten used to coming to your courtyard every day. It's so nice to be together with everyone. Now I have to leave suddenly. I feel empty inside."

Cui Junhan held Yan Shu's hand and said, "When I have time, I will definitely go to the capital to see you. When you leave, many ladies and young ladies in Qinghe will miss you."

Yan Shu smiled and said, "Then I will wait for my sister to come to the capital."

"And us, we will also follow the eldest sister to visit the second sister when the time comes."

When the two half sisters mentioned going to the capital, there was a hint of longing on their faces.

At this time, Nanny Han hurried in.

"Girl, someone from the gate sent a message saying that your brother is here."

Yan Shu's eyes suddenly lit up.

"Where are people?"

"I've already invited you to the front yard."

Yan Shu turned around, said hello to Zhao and others, and hurriedly left Xinghua Garden.

When I arrived at the main hall in the front yard, I saw several familiar figures sitting inside. Cui Mengsheng personally received them.

"Little sister!"

"Second brother, Erzhu, Shitou, why are you all here?"

When the three young men Yan Wu, Er Zhu and Shi Tou saw Yan Shu coming, they immediately stood up and walked forward.

"We also want to go to the capital to broaden our horizons. This trip has been approved by our parents."

The implication is, don't try to drive me away this time.

Yan Shu knew in his heart that his parents asked his second brother to come along because they were worried about her being alone outside.

Cui Mengsheng stepped forward and said with a smile: "Second brother of the Yan family, we are also going to the capital tomorrow. Since we are going the same way, let's go together."

Yan Wu pretended to be embarrassed and said, "This is too much trouble for your family."

"You are Shu'er's second brother, and to me you are a family member. Since we are a family, there is no need to be so polite. We will have someone to talk to and cheer ourselves up when we are on the road."

Yan Wu was secretly happy, but he looked at Yan Shu inquiringly.

Yan Shu sighed helplessly. She didn't want to involve the Yan family, but now her second brother had found her here. If she persuaded them to go back now, with her second brother's temper, he would definitely sneak away to the capital. Instead of letting them go by themselves, it would be better for them to stay with her and take care of each other.

"Since you are all here, let's go to Beijing together tomorrow."

After getting Yan Shu's agreement, the three of them immediately smiled knowingly.

Cui Mengsheng arranged a house for Yan Wu, Erzhu and Shitou to live in.

The three young men traveled a long way from Xinyang Prefecture to Qinghe, and they must have suffered a lot along the way. Yan Shu saw that they had lost a lot of weight, and the clothes they were wearing were torn to varying degrees.

That day she took the three of them to a clothing store and bought two cotton coats, two sets of undergarments and two pairs of cotton shoes for each of them. When Yan Shu was about to pay, the shopkeeper immediately came forward with a smile.

"Second Miss, this is our Cui family's clothing shop. The young master has told you and the three gentlemen that you don't have to pay for anything you choose."

Yan Shu:......

She didn't expect that she would choose the Cui family's business by just picking a garment shop.

Now, in the eyes of outsiders, she and Cui Mengsheng are siblings, and she is the legitimate daughter of the Cui family. If she forced them to pay the money to their own shop, it would seem very strange, so she just accepted it with pleasure.

Afterwards, she took the three of them for a walk in Qinghe County. Yan Wu, Er Zhu and Shitou were all martial artists and were particularly obsessed with weapons. When they passed by a blacksmith shop, the three of them looked inside at the same time.

Yan Wu said: "I've heard from Master before that the knives made by Qinghe blacksmiths are strong and sharp, and are even comparable to the weapons forged by the government."

Seeing that they were very interested, Yan Shu suggested, "Let's go in and take a look. If you find any knives you like, you can buy them for self-defense."

Four people walked into the blacksmith shop, where a young man was watching over the shop alone.

Seeing the guests coming, he immediately stepped forward and asked: "What utensils do you four want to buy?"

Yan Shu looked at the tools in the shop curiously. Because the court restricted the size of knives, most of the tools displayed in the shop were farm tools.

"Young man, do you have a short sword or something like that?"

The young man glanced at Yan Shu and said, "Miss, are you looking for a weapon to defend yourself?"

"Well, price is not a problem, but the weapon must be sharp enough."

"Guys, please come with me."

The young man closed the shop door, brought Yan Shu and others to the backyard, opened a very ordinary room, raised his hand and knocked on a wall twice, and the wall opened to both sides in response.

"follow me."

Yan Shu and Yan Wu looked at each other, Yan Shu nodded, and Yan Wu walked in first.

This secret room is not very big, but it is filled with various weapons.

The young man took out a dagger and pulled the blade out of the scabbard, and a cold light flashed.

"This dagger is my master's most proud work. Do you like it, young lady?"

Yan Shu reached out and took the dagger. It felt very good. Whether from the cast iron craftsmanship or the sharpness of the entire blade, it was definitely a top-grade weapon.

I didn't expect that such a high level of casting could be found in this inconspicuous blacksmith shop.

"How much silver is this sword?"

"This sword is made using the new fusing technique used by my master, and a special material has been added to it. I can assure you that there is no other sword like it in the world, so you need at least this amount."

The young man held up a finger, and Yan Wu was shocked and said, "One hundred taels for just this short sword?

Erzhu also questioned: "It looks like an ordinary sword, how can it be worth one hundred taels?"

The young man smiled and shook his head: "It's one thousand taels, not a cent less."

Yan Wu, Er Zhu and Shi Tou stared at the young man in shock.

"Hey, little brother, this sword of yours is not a precious heirloom passed down from your ancestors, right? Otherwise, how dare you sell it for one thousand taels?"

The young man ignored Yan Wu's ridicule and looked straight at Yan Shu.

"What do you think, girl?"

Yan Shu stared at the dagger in his hand for a while and said, "Since you asked for one thousand taels, you should let us see its value, right?"

The young man reached out to take the sword, walked straight to the shelf, took down an iron chain and threw it on the ground, then squatted down, raised his hand and stabbed hard, and the thumb-thick iron chain broke on the spot.

A gleam of light flashed in Yan Shu's eyes. This sword can actually cut through iron like mud?

Yan Wu, Er Zhu and Shi Tou also widened their eyes in shock.

"I want this sword. Brother, can we meet your master?"

The young man thought for a moment and said, "This matter needs the approval of my master. Please go to the shop and wait for a while."

Yan Shu said: "No hurry, we still need to choose a few more weapons that are handy."

"Then you guys choose first, I'll go ask the master for instructions."

"it is good!"

After the young man left the secret room, Yan Shu looked at Yan Wu, Er Zhu, and Shitou and said, "You should each choose a weapon that suits you."

From this dagger, we can tell that the ironworker in this shop is no ordinary person. Since we are lucky enough to meet him, he naturally provides each person with a weapon.

Erzhu said, "Miss Yan, we won't choose. I see that the weapons sold in this iron shop are very expensive."

A short sword costs one thousand taels, which is unimaginable even in dreams.
