Tong Jia Qingtang looked around calmly, then followed slowly with a stern face.

When she passed by Tong Jia Qing You who was still in a daze, she raised her hand and pushed the other person's arm, and reminded him coldly, "Have some ambition, don't look so seductive, and lose face for the Tong Jia Mansion!"

The three of them found a private room and sat down at the round table.

"What is it?"

Tong Jia Qingtang never liked Lao Ba and Lao Jiu, but he was forced to be on the same boat with them, so he could only be patient.

Suddenly, there were several more silver notes in hand, each with a value of one thousand taels.

She was stunned, "What do you mean?"

Yinzhen curled his lip and said in a drawling tone, "Eighth sister-in-law's voice was quite loud just now, so I naturally heard it. A woman's marriage is a big deal, and it is not appropriate to lack money for the dowry. If the dowry is not generous enough, then you, Tong Jia Qingtang, will lose face."

Tong Jia Qingyou was a little excited and reached out to pull her sister's sleeve.

With this money, not only can the current hole be filled, but there will also be a lot more.

Five thousand taels is indeed a lot.

But Tong Jia Qingtang just glanced coldly at the banknotes on the table and then looked away.

"No."

She slowly opened her mouth, "No merit, no reward. We are not related at all, why are you giving me the banknote?"

"Why are we not related?"

Yinzhen raised his eyebrows and said in a non-serious tone, "In one month, you will marry my brother. He cannot leave the palace now. This money is actually his gift to his future wife, but..."

He stopped smiling and looked serious.

"The two of us used the nails you planted in the Prince of Yong's Mansion. I got the news yesterday that the two nails were broken. This money can be regarded as a kind of compensation."

"what!"

Tong Jia Qingtang turned to look at him, the gentle expression on her face beginning to fail to hold back.

"Do you know how difficult it is to place people inside? Why didn't you be more careful when using it? Now it's all over. Don't even think about hearing any news about Prince Yong's Mansion from now on!"

She couldn't hide the resentment in her tone.

Lao Ba is such a waste!

If he can't even do such a small thing, how can we expect him to have a chance to inherit the throne in the future!

Tong Jia Qingtang's chest was heaving violently, but he didn't expect that the person sitting opposite him slammed the table first.

The teacup fell over and the light green liquid spilled all over the table.

"Stop being so pretentious here. Your two nails must have been exposed long ago, otherwise how could that thing have escaped from Prince Yong's Mansion to the Eighth Prince's Mansion out of thin air!"

He seemed to not want to sit at the same table with her anymore, and stood up angrily, "Myna likes you, so I am being polite to you and giving you money. Otherwise, who do you think you are? You can take the money or not!"

As soon as he finished speaking, he pushed the door open and went out.

The door hit the wall with a bang and became slightly deformed.

The restaurant owner who was guarding outside the door felt a little distressed, because this was top quality rosewood.

Tong Jia Qingtang didn't expect that he would be so disrespectful, and her face turned pale.

After calming down and thinking about it, I realized that what the other party said made some sense. Li had never been successful in anything he did, so maybe he was exposed early on.

She had originally planned to do something when Ulanala Xiyu gave birth, but fortunately, before that time came, this person had been used by the Eighth Brother.

If she still doesn't know and continues to use it... She slowly closed her eyes, not daring to think about the consequences.

Seeing that she was hesitant to move, Tong Jia Qingyou couldn't help but reach out. As soon as she touched the edge of the banknote, she found that it was pressed down by a white hand.

The cold-looking woman looked stern at this moment, tilting her head to look at her, "Why? You want it?"

She quickly withdrew her hand and shook her head vigorously, "No, no, I was thinking of putting it away for my sister. This banknote was obtained for free, so why not take it away?"

Tong Jia Qingtang picked up the banknote, put it together with the silver and money in his hand, and stuffed it into his purse.

Before leaving, she put a smile on her face again, resuming the image of a gentle and talented woman in front of outsiders.

On the third floor of Zuixian Tower, a handsome man in a flamboyant silver-red brocade robe was standing at the open window, and a servant in a coarse grey cloth walked in from outside the door.

"Master, the banknotes on the table have been taken away."

Yinzhen looked at the two people, one blue and one pink, not far away, with a scornful smile on his face.

As expected, Tong Jia Qingtang is just pretending to be noble.

He moved his fingers and asked the person to leave, his eyes unable to hide the gloom. It would be best if this person could help their cause, otherwise...

The autumn wind is getting colder, and the trees in the yard have turned yellow without anyone noticing. If you are not careful, the petals will fall all over the ground.

Xia Ying brought the embroiderers from Yunshangfang into the palace, settled them in a secluded courtyard next to Yaoxingyuan, and assigned a little maid to serve them.

The main task is to help them get food from the kitchen and take care of their daily life.

One of the two embroiderers is tall and thin, and the other is short and fat.

The tall and thin one is called Dengzhi, and the short and fat one is called Xique.

The two men put down their bags and walked to Xia Ying somewhat stiffly.

"Miss Xia Ying, I wonder what work the Lady has for us. We want to do it quickly so as not to waste time."

"Fujin originally wanted to let you two rest for a day since you two had just arrived."

The two of them waved their hands quickly, "No need to rest, no need to rest, the two of us are busy from morning till night every day, we are used to it."

Seeing how reserved and uncomfortable they were, Xia Ying couldn't help but chuckle, "Don't be nervous, you two. Just treat this small courtyard as your own home. You can rest for a while. I'll go ask Fu Jin if she wants to start work today."

"Xiao Tao, serve some refreshments to the two embroiderers."

When Xia Ying returned to Yaoxingyuan, Xiyu had just gotten up.

She patted her belly gently, trying to calm the slightly noisy baby inside, and said in a hoarse voice, "Since they said so, bring the person over later."

After breakfast, the two embroiderers were brought to Yaoxing Court by Xia Ying. They walked cautiously with their heads down the whole time, not daring to look around.

"I, a concubine, have come to see Madam Fu Jin."

"A magpie on a branch? Your two names have good meanings."

Xi Yu smiled and asked them to sit down, and then talked to them like an ordinary close friend, "Judging from your ages, you two should have been married and had children."

Although they were puzzled, they still answered obediently: "Yes, I have given birth."

"That's good."

Xiyu smiled brighter. "Since you have given birth, you must understand the pain of a pregnant woman. You must know what I want to do."

She pushed the design in front of her towards the two of them.

"This is the bra I designed. See if you can make it."

"A corset?"

The two looked at each other, picked up several design drawings on the table and examined them carefully.

If they encounter things related to embroidery and clothing making, they will not be nervous.
