Shengjing Noble

It is better to make a book like this and carry it with you, hiding the banknotes in it. Even if you encounter bandits who rob you, they will not be interested in the book.

Thinking of this, Fu Muyin immediately went to her third uncle's study to find a book.

It can be seen that Su Shengming doesn't like reading, and his bookshelf is almost covered with dust.

Fu Muyin flipped through the pages and suddenly saw a book called "Qian Jin Fang" and started to read it curiously.

There are a lot of notes in it, and many issues and details are marked.

The handwriting was beautiful and fluent, and it didn't look like something Su Shengming could write.

She had seen her third uncle's handwriting and it was not an exaggeration to say it was like dog crawling.

Fu Muyin flipped through it and saw a name on the last page.

Su Lanyin.

Is it mother's book?

And it should be a medical book.

Judging from the traces of being flipped through, this must have been one of my mother's favorite books.

Fu Muyin couldn't describe the feeling in her heart. She carefully put the book in her arms, then turned and left the study.

Once you’ve decided, use this book!

However, she couldn't bear to stick the two pages together, so she planned to copy a new one and keep the one her mother used well as a remembrance.

at night.

After Su Shengming came back, he asked about Fu Muyin. Song Huaizhi replied, "I just brought her dinner and saw that she seemed to be reading and writing. This girl is really quiet and studious."

"That's right. Don't you see whose niece she is?"

He looked proud.

Song Huaizhi frowned: "If that's the case, she must be the second brother's niece, she doesn't look like you!"

"Woman, how can you look down on your husband so much!"

"No way! Although my husband doesn't like to read or write, he has the best business sense in the world. He is very smart and never makes mistakes in his calculations!"

She immediately gave him a wave of praise, making Su Shengming as happy as if he were her grandson.

……

The next day.

After Fu Muyin finished copying the new book, she put it aside to dry, and then went to find Song Huaizhi.

"Aunt, can you give me some banknotes?"

"Okay, how much do you want?"

She had no concept of money. After all, she grew up in the palace and was used to enjoying fine clothes, delicious food, glory and wealth.

I have no idea how much money ordinary people need to survive in a year.

So he casually said, "Three to five thousand taels."

"Ah? What do you need so much for?"

"Is this... a lot?"

At this year's coming-of-age banquet, the cheapest gift from the emperor's cousin was a jade bracelet worth more than three thousand taels.

She thought it wasn't much.

Although the Lu family is still rich and powerful in recent years, three thousand taels is not a small amount of money for ordinary people.

And she is not stingy, she cares about Fu Muyin.

I wonder if she's in any trouble since she needs so much money.

"Xiaoyin, why do you suddenly want so much money? Is there something wrong?"

Fu Muyin didn't dare to say that she was going to run away from home to find her mother.

So she said, "I saw a few sets of jewelry and clothes a few days ago, and I wanted to buy them."

"So that's how it is. I'm glad you're alright. I'll get it for you right away. Just wait."

Song Huaizhi felt relieved after confirming that she was not in trouble.

After a while, she took out a silver note worth five thousand taels and gave it to Fu Muyin.

"Take it. If it's not enough, tell your aunt. You are in your prime now. You should wear nice clothes and accessories. Don't wait until you are your aunt's age. No one will care about you even if you want to dress up."

"Look, my uncle. Besides, my aunt doesn't age at all. She is still young and beautiful. Otherwise, how could she have bewitched my third uncle so much?"

"Go away! You are always making fun of your aunt."

Song Huaizhi blushed at what she said, and lowered her head and smiled embarrassedly.

Fu Muyin suddenly became curious: "Aunt, why haven't my eldest uncle and second uncle married yet?"

"One of them spends all day in the military camp brandishing swords and guns, while the other stays in the Imperial Academy and sleeps with books in his arms. How could they be interested in romance? Only your third uncle was a playboy when he was young."

"Really? My third uncle spends money like this?"

"Of course. Let me tell you, your third uncle was almost tricked into marriage. If it weren't for your mother, I'm afraid the Lu family would have had to pay for it."

"So exciting? Tell me about it!"

"I also heard your mother tell me this. It's really funny. At that time..."

Song Huaizhi supported his chin with both hands and listened seriously to Song Huaizhi's stories about the past. Sometimes he laughed out loud, and sometimes he felt sad.

No one had ever told her about these daily lives of her mother before.

So in her impression, her mother is a tall and glorious figure, a flawless goddess-like figure.

Selflessly devoting oneself to the country and the people, yearning for freedom, and being independent.

But today, she seemed to have met a different mother.

She is alive and well, not only has her own little tricks, but she also uses deception to punish those who try to deceive them.

She seemed to like this mother who would retaliate and take revenge.

From childhood to adulthood, people around her have been teaching her how to be virtuous, generous, dignified and elegant.

If it were her mother, she would never teach her like this.

Fu Muyin's longing for her mother became like a flood, out of control.

I must see my mother and tell her that I have never blamed her all these years!

……

in the afternoon.

When Fu Muyin arrived at Zuixianlou, Ji Qingluo had been waiting for a long time.

When he saw her coming, he hurried forward, bowed, and started to apologize.

"I'm sorry. What happened yesterday was all my fault. I shouldn't have left you alone in the front hall and caused you to be bullied by my mother. Actually, she's not a bad person. She just has a strong sense of defense and resistance to people who get close to me. That's why..."

Fu Muyin had no intention of pursuing what happened yesterday, and didn't take it to heart.

But today he not only brought it up on his own initiative, but also made excuses for his mother, which made her a little angry.

"Master Ji, I don't take it to heart, but I don't agree with what you said today."

"What?" Ji Qingluo looked confused.

"Yesterday's fault was not yours, nor mine. It was all your mother's. She is mean, narrow-minded, and even vicious. Yet you say she is not a bad person. Anyone with a discerning eye knows that your mother is not innocent. Why are you still defending her?"

"Sorry, I……"

Ji Qingluo looked embarrassed and lowered his head in embarrassment.

That was his mother. No matter what she did, it was always for her own good. No matter what, he had no right to criticize.

After all, this incident was all caused by him.

"Princess, please forgive us."

"You don't have to apologize. After all, you did help me, so let's call it even."

"Really?" Ji Qingluo's eyes flashed with excitement.

"Well, where is the person I asked you to find?"

"I found it. I'll take you to see it now?"

"Why doesn't she come to see me?"

"Her... situation is somewhat special. I'm afraid the princess will have to go there in person."

"Really? I'd like to see what special circumstances require me to go there in person. Lead the way."
