Chapter 170
The 1000 tael silver note was delivered to Mingxia Garden in the evening.

Chu Nanning fiddled with the banknotes and listened to Qiu Yi's report.

"The Marquis went to Madam's place and had a quarrel, but they reconciled later. The Marquis coaxed Madam all afternoon."

"Madam sent a lot of things to the Second Miss's courtyard, and also ordered the kitchen to make the Second Miss' favorite magnolia and lily soup."

"For dinner, Mr. Marquis, Madam, and Second Young Lady will share it."

"After dinner, the young master returned home."

"The young master doesn't seem very happy!"

"The magpie in Madam's courtyard left the house in the afternoon and came back in the evening. It seems that she was sent out by Madam to inquire for news."

……

She told Chu Nanning everything in detail.

Chu Nanning didn't know whether she heard it or not. Her expression was shallow and her hands were scratching on the table. Until Qiu Yi finished reporting, she boredly took out one of the banknotes and handed it over: "Let's share it. !”

Qiu Yi said happily: "Thank you, Miss!"

So Chu Baikui was persuaded by Zhao Yuan, and he didn't know which unlucky guy was chosen.

Chu Nanning was not surprised at all that Zhao Yuan was able to convince Chu Baikui.

She used only two reasons: competing with Shi Jia for a man would inevitably offend Shi Yucheng in the end.My daughter is fine, but what about Anyuan Hou Mansion?What will Fei'er do next?
Now there is a way to get the best of both worlds, which can help her daughter find a good husband without offending Shi Yucheng. Why not?
Both of these can hit Chu Baikui's weak spots.

But no matter what the outcome, she didn't care, she just wanted to watch the show!

North Main Street.

Mrs. Pei got off the carriage. When she settled the accounts a few days ago, the profit was pretty good. There happened to be a shop for sale here, so she came over to take a look.

The maid Qingzhi half-supported her and walked towards the shop at the east end.

The inspection of the shop did not go well. The original owner asked for a price three times higher than the market price. It seemed that he did not sincerely want to sell. Mrs. Pei would not force it.Anyway, now that we are out, we can walk around casually.

Walking straight ahead and turning a corner, there is a lively market over there. Qingzhi said crisply: "There is a Zhuangyuan Building over there. Madam, do you want to go and see it?"

Mrs. Pei smiled and said: "Is there a champion in the champion building?"

"It really happened. I heard that the number one scholar two years ago drank the number one red in this building and got into high school in one fell swoop! Spring is just around the corner after the new year, and many candidates from other places are coming to Beijing to take the exam. I want to go to the Zhuangyuan Building to seek good luck, this Zhuangyuan Building is doing great business!"

Mrs. Pei said: "My old lady doesn't want to take the exam for the number one scholar, so just take a walk downstairs for the number one scholar!" She wanted to find Lan'er's idea of ​​a good youngster. Everyone around her knew it, so Qingzhi specifically mentioned the number one scholar building.

It's good to choose someone who is studious and motivated. At least, they won't be like Ting'an, who rushes to the battlefield with a military order, leaving Lan'er in the situation where she is today.

Qingzhi replied with a smile. The master and servant were strolling on the street. This street was indeed much lively.

Mrs. Pei felt a little emotional, it had to be the capital.

She became her uncle's second wife at the age of 17 and has lived in the north for more than 30 years. The small border town is far less lively and prosperous than the capital city.

If it weren't for Lan'er, she probably wouldn't have the courage to come back here.

Her Lan'er is beautiful, strong, smart and kind, worthy of the best man in the world.

There are a row of stalls on the roadside, selling jade pendants and accessories, hairpins and rings, pens, inks, paper and inkstones, calligraphy and paintings...

A small vendor hawked to Mrs. Pei: "Madam, please buy a folding fan for your young master. These folding fans are made of landscape paintings with fine workmanship and will definitely make the gentleman's demeanor even better!" Mrs. Pei said! A quick look showed that the folding fan was quite exquisitely made and the landscape painting technique was also very profound. However, it was useless for her to buy it.

The person selling accessories over there also said politely: "Madam, why don't you buy a jade pendant for your young master and wear it on your body to make him more elegant!"

The old lady just smiled and shook her head. If she really wanted to buy jade jewelry, why would she do it at this street stall?It's just for fun.

Watching as you go, and walking along with the lively crowds on the street, it doesn't have a lot of fun.

Suddenly, the crowd dispersed in panic, and someone shouted: "Be careful, the horse is frightened!"

A carriage rushed over in front of him, the horse hoofed up and ran straight ahead. It was frightened for some unknown reason, and screams rang out from the carriage.

At this moment, the horse was coming towards Mrs. Pei.

Mrs. Pei was startled and hurriedly pulled Qingzhi out of the way, but the more she hurried, the more mistakes she made. Her foot stumbled and she suddenly lost her center of gravity. Not only did she fail to move, but she almost fell with Qingzhi.

Qingzhi quickly supported Mrs. Pei.

In just a short while, the carriage had already arrived.

The master and servant had no time to react. They saw that the carriage was about to hit the two of them. Suddenly, a force came from behind, pulling the two away. A voice said: "You guys stop the frightened horse to save the man!"

Two men in casual attire rushed toward the frightened horse.

Mrs. Pei was still in shock. She turned around and saw a young man standing next to her. His brows were carved and his air was natural, but he also had a touch of uprightness. Mrs. Pei was stunned.

Although Ting'an was born into a family of military generals and practiced martial arts since childhood, he also loved reading. Not only was he familiar with military books, but he was also proficient in the Four Books and Five Classics, and had a comprehensive understanding of them.Zhang'er also said that if this son had not been born into a family of military commanders, he would have gone to the Toad Palace and won the title of No. [-] Scholar.

Ting'an has this kind of magnanimity, with the elegance of a scholar and the heroism of a military general, but without the frailty of a scholar and the vulgarity of a military general.

The man said: "Old man, are you hurt?"

Mrs. Pei said: "No, thank you very much, little brother!"

"Easy to do!" Shang Jingyu looked in the direction of the carriage. Over there, his two long followers had already stopped the frightened horse.

A lady and a girl came out of the carriage, and they thanked them.

Shang Jingyu didn't go over. The chief officer checked the horse. It was that the horse's feet were tied too tightly to the shaft. After walking for a while, the horse couldn't bear it and went crazy.

Although there was no problem, the lady, mother and daughter did not dare to ride in the carriage again. They helped each other into a restaurant, and the coachman went back to change the carriage.

Mrs. Pei took a look and saw that this young man not only saved his master and servant, but also saved the mother and daughter, but he did not take credit at all. He had a gentle look, a measured demeanor, and the demeanor of a gentleman.

Seeing this child made her think of Ting'an.

The old lady asked: "What's your surname, sir?"

Shang Jingyu smiled and said, "The old man calls me Jingyu!"

"It turns out to be Mr. Jing. If it hadn't been for Mr. Jing just now, this girl and I would have lost arms and legs. I don't know how to thank you!"

Shang Jingyu shook his folding fan and said with a gentle smile: "I'm serious, old man. In this situation, if you can help me, I'll help you. Even if it's not me, others will do the same!"

"You should be grateful. For the young master, it's a piece of cake. For me, it saves me the pain of hurting my body. Is the young master a scholar who will participate in the Spring Festival?"
