Mu Yunjin and Chu Li returned to the Fu, after two days.
Mu Yunjin went out with Chu Li, but in just three days, there were gains and losses. She couldn"t say what it felt like. She always felt that some situations had changed invisibly.
(TL: Yunjin, you might have grown closer with Chu Li during this trip.)
As soon as she stepped into the front hall of Huangzi Fu, Shen Momo met them with a smile and ordered people to take over the burden in Mu Yunjin"s hands.
"Your highness and Huangzi fei are back."
Shen Momo smiled.
Mu Yunjin nodded her head and greeted Shen Momo. She was ready to go back to the room and have a good bath.
Just a few steps away, she heard Shen Momo"s words to Chu Li.
"Your Highness, Qin Xiaojie came to the Fu this morning and saw you were not here. She went back again. It seems that there is something she needs to say to you."
"En."
Chu Li lightly replied.
Mu Yunjin"s steps slightly paused, after hearing the three words of Qin Xiaojie, she rolled her eyes.
This Qin Muyue is still lingering.
Mu Yunjin thought about it, and was somewhat surprised by her own thoughts, she reached out and rubbed her temple, shaking her head helplessly.
"There are people trying to find Chu Li, concerning me, and here I am controlling my heart."
Mu Yunjin sighed and walked back to the fu.
After returning to the room, several maidservants were helping Mu Yunjin prepare the hot water for her bath. Mu Yunjin sat on the rocking chair, reached out and pulled out the silver banknote in her arms. She smiled beautifully.
"Xiaojie, it seems that this trip has been very successful."
When Zi Xiang came she saw the things in Mu Yunjin"s hands, she smiled.
"Yes, it"s a good harvest. When I leave here in the future, I can buy a big house and enjoy it."
Mu Yunjin said, and exercised her neck.
Zixiang looked at Mu Yunjin, and then seemed to think of something. She squatted down and spoke in Mu Yunjin"s ear.
"Xiaojie, when you and Liu Huangzi were not here these past days. That Qin Xiaojie came to the huangzi fu every day."
"And every time she comes, she will sit in the front hall for a long time, talking and laughing with Shen Momo. Shen Momo seems to like Qin Xiaojie very much. Every time they talk, they will talk for one or two hours."
Hearing it, Mu Yunjin pursed her mouth, but there was no big response.
"Come, come, Chu Li does not have any opinion on it."
"Xiaojie..."
Zixiang frowned.
"Although you have no feelings with His Royal Highness Liu Huangzi, you are still the Liu Huangzi fei. Besides, the outside world knows that you and His Highness Liu Huangzi are newly married. If Qin Xiaojie stepped in and s.n.a.t.c.h your Liu Huangzi fei position at this time, I don"t know how many people are waiting to see you become a joke."
"They are green plums and bamboo horses*. They are innocent playmates, if they really have feelings for each other, then I"m the one who stepped in between them. Getting out early is called the beauty of adulthood. You should praise me!"
Mu Yunjin lifted her chin and made fun of her words.
(*Childhood sweethearts)
When Zi Xiang heard Mu Yunjin"s words, she could not speak for a while. She looked at the faint smile on Mu Yunjin"s face, and her eyes gradually drooped down. She felt sorry for her young lady in her heart.
……….
After bathing, Mu Yunjin said that she would take a rest. When Zi Xiang came out of the bedroom, Mu Yunjin took out the Mysterious Spirit Sutra which she had thrown under the bed that day.
After sitting on the soft couch, Mu Yunjin looked through the Mysterious Spirit Sutra several times. Remembering what Chu Li had said the other day, she eyed the Sutra in her hand with a slightly complicated look.
Thinking about it, Mu Yunjin closed the Sutra, looked around, and finally stuffed the Mysterious Spirit Sutra into a secret compartment inside the wardrobe.
When Mu Yunjin woke up after a nap, the sky was already dark.
"Zi Xiang."
Mu Yunjin called for Zi Xiang.
Zi Xiang immediately pushed the door and went in.
"Xiaojie, are you awake? Do you want to eat now?"
Mu Yunjin nodded and moved down from the bed. She walked to the door and looked at the opposite room.
"Is Chu Li not at home?"
Looking at the closedly tight door of the opposite room, Mu Yunjin slightly frowned.
"Yes, after Liu huangzi returned, he went out soon. Shen Momo said that His Highness had gone to see Qin Xiaojie."
Zi Xiang replied, a little unhappy.
Mu Yunjin gave a hmmm sound, in her face one could not see any anger. She turned around and pulled out a plain clothing from the wardrobe. She put them on one layer after another.
"Will Xiaojie go out?"
Zi Xiang looked at Mu Yunjin in surprise as she asked.
Mu Yunjin nodded.
"I"m going out. You"ll stay in the fu."
"Xiaojie…."
Before Zi Xiang words finished, she saw Mu Yunjin"s body flash and with a step, she used qinggong to fly out of the high-walled courtyard of the huangzi fu.
Zi Xiang rubbed her eyes, and could not believe this scene. Xiaojie could fly?
Mu Yunjin stood firm at the entrance of an alley of a street and looked around. At this time, there were many people wandering outside. Mu Yunjin pursed her lips and walked into the alley.
In a short while, Mu Yunjin stood in front of the doors of Xin Jin Yuan*.
(*The West Brocade Park- the shop where she got her whip.)
After entering the doors of Xin Jin Yuan, Mu Yunjin looked around. At this time, there were still three or two guests choosing things.
But after a long time, they shook their heads and walked away.
"Ayo! It seems that these things are not fated with you!"
The old shopkeeper looked at the customers who walked out of the door, sighing helplessly.
Then, upon seeing a glimpse of Mu Yunjin at the door, the old man laughed a few times.
"Oh, Liu Huangzi fei, how come you honor us with your presence?"
"Naturally, it is to come and find you."
Mu Yunjin curled her lips and found a chair to sit down.
"The Phoenix Tail Whip you have last time is very good. I have used it very easily."
When Mu Yunjin"s words fell, she looked down at the Phoenix Tail whip wrapped on her wrist, with a smile.
"I wonder what Liu huangzi fei needs?"
The old man made a ceremonial bow to Mu Yunjin.
"I want to buy a house in River Moon City, Zhang Zhou City and Shen Yao City. You can make an offer."
Mu Yunjin swept a look at the old man standing in front of her.
The old man paused and twisted his eyebrows slightly.
"Liu Huangzi fei, I sell all kinds of treasures and weapons here. I don"t sell houses."
"Selling or not selling houses, you know in your heart that in Xi Jin Yuan, all the treasures and weapons are bought depending on the so-called fate, but not everyone has the fate to buy the treasures and weapons here. Your Xi Jin Yuan has been open for so many years. If you have been doing business just by fate, I"m afraid that all the servants here will drink northwest wind*. "
(*Drink northwest wind - means be cold and hungry)
"Why do the Liu huangzi fei feel that we sell houses?"
The old man looked at Mu Yunjin with a little curiosity in his eyes.
Mu Yunjin raised an eyebrow and s.h.i.+fted her legs.
"Intuition."
"Hahaha, a good intuition, it must be our Xi Jin Yuan mistake and let the cat out of the bag."
The old man laughed.
Then he went to the back of the counter, opened a drawer and took out a stack of papers from the drawer.
"These are house deeds. Liu Huangzi fei may choose what you want but remember, we sell treasures and weapons in Xi Jin Yuan according to fate . The house is sold at a real price."
"Rest a.s.sured, gunainai* has plenty of money."
(Gunainai* - Great Aunt)
Mu Yunjin turned over the house deeds one after another and compared pictures.
In the end, Mu Yunjin chose a unique and elegant houses in the three cities.
"Just these three houses."
Mu Yunjin decided.
The old man looked the three blueprints handed by Mu Yunjin and exclaimed.
"Liu Huangzi fei have good eyes. These three houses are the most unique, and the price is also the highest."
"How much?"
Mu Yunjin glanced at the old man.
The old man frowned and pulled a long face. He faced Mu Yunjin and slowly spoke.
"Fifteen thousand Liang*"
(Liang*- taels, a unit of weight equal to 50 grams; Previously I used Taels to translate the amount of silvers but starting now I will be using Liang in my sentences)
"Oh, the price is really not low."
Mu Yunjin looked at the drawing again, and then made a slight smile.
"But you"d better make sure that the house is really like what you described on the drawing. Otherwise, be careful that I step and level your Xi Jin Yuan."
"Liu Huangzi fei be rest a.s.sured, This small one will not dare to deceive you. Then you wanted all these three houses?"
The old man carefully asked.
Mu Yunjin nodded.
"All of them."
"Oh, that"s right, this matter is not allowed to be known to a third person. Only you and I should know this, do you understand?"
Mu Yunjin added.
The old man nodded in understanding.
"This small one understands."
Then Mu Yunjin drew a silver banknote from her arms and handed it to the old man.
"Ten thousand liang gold banknote."
"Liu Huangzi fei please wait a moment, I will help you exchange it."
The old man picked up the banknote and walked aside.
Mu Yunjin sat on a chair and looked at the drawings. A faint smile came from her lips. Before she and Chu Li end their fake husband and wife relations.h.i.+p, she had to help herself plan ahead of time.
With these three houses, her future life is guaranteed that at least she would not to stay in the streets.
Mu Yunjin thought to herself, and felt that she had prepared for the rainy days.
Looking at the old man who is converting gold into silver. Mu Yunjin"s eyes revealed a crafty glint, she looked up at the ceiling and smiled.
In fact, she knew that Xi Jin Yuan also sold houses when Chu Li bought the Phoenix Tail Whip, she inadvertently glanced at the open drawer under the counter.
Seeing the pile of house deeds, she had just linked it to a business of selling houses.
Today, she came to try her luck. Who would have thought that it would be like a blind cat that meet with a dead mouse. It was really just an accident.
A moment later, the old man came over with some silvers.
"Liu Huangzi fei, this is your house deeds and silver."
"En, that"s it then."
Mu Yunjin took over the deeds, and after looking that there are no problems, she turned around and walked out of the doors of Xi Jin Yuan.
Behind her, the old man looked at Mu Yunjin"s back and sighed slightly.
"It seems that after Qin Xiaojie"s return, the position of Liu Huangzi fei is really unstable."
……….
When Mu Yunjin returned to the huangzi fu, the sky was completely dark.
"Huh? Huangzi fei, when did you go out?"
Mu Yunjin has just stepped into the front hall, and the surprised voice of Shen Momo was heard.
Mu Yunjin looked at Shen Momo, she pursed her lips and smiled lightly.
"I went through the back door."
"So it is like that."
Shen Momo nodded.
"His Highness and Qin Xiaojie are having dinner in the dining hall. Huangzi fei should also go and eat."
Mu Yunjin stopped her steps, she looked to the direction of the dining hall.
"Qin Xiaojie came?"
"Yes, they are just a step ahead of huangzi fei. At the moment, His Highness is just beginning to eat."
Shen Momo said, carefully observing Mu Yunjin"s figure and was afraid of angering her.
"Forget it, I am still tactful not to disturb them."
Mu Yunjin twitched her lips and went to the opposite direction of the dining hall.
She had not walked a few steps, when there was an intimate call behind her.
"Yunjin sao sao, you"re back?"
