Chapter 199 You know the color of my Prime Minister's underwear
Yu Jiuer and Jun Mo's carriage drove into the city gate just after noon.
Jun Mo still had important things to do, so after entering the city gate, he said to Yu Jiuer: "I have to go to the Jinyiwei Yamen, you go back home first!"
Since he was summoned back to Beijing by the emperor, he has served as the commander of the Embroidered Uniform Guard, engaged in reconnaissance, arrest, interrogation, and gathering military intelligence and other duties.
They are extremely busy every day and still have to find time to deal with political opponents and fight for power.
Yu Jiuer thought about it and felt that she was too ignorant. Didn't other wives and concubines stay at home obediently and serve their husbands wholeheartedly?
Only she is different. Not only is she busy with her own things, but she also delays him?
She is indeed a "source of trouble", no wonder Concubine Duan always tells her to respect Jun Mo!
"Okay! Your Highness, please go and do your work! I'll go to Linglong Pavilion and then return home!" Yu Jiuer waved to Jun Mo and watched him leave before letting Anying turn his horse around and go to Linglong Pavilion.
As soon as Yu Jiuer stepped into Linglong Pavilion, Yu Tao hurriedly pulled her into the private room.
"Ninth Miss, we are going to get rich!" Yu Tao looked like she had won a big prize. "We have collected a full 100,000 taels of silver just from the membership fee. 100,000 taels of silver! That doesn't even include the silver they deposited into their membership cards!
Oh my god! Do all the young ladies in the capital have mines at home? I thought it would be nice to have a few people to be scapegoated, but I didn’t expect it to be so popular? I’ve been collecting money so much that I feel guilty!”
Yu Jiuer chuckled: "Yutao, open your mind! From now on, you will be the young lady of General Wei's mansion. If you get so excited over such a small amount of money, you will be laughed at!"
"Oh! Why mention the wife? No one likes me, I don't want to make trouble!" Every time she talked about this, Yutao was always not interested.
"Yutao, you are now in charge of Linglong Pavilion and all of Wei Zheng's businesses. You are quite impressive. Which of the ladies in the capital can compare to you? Use all your abilities and work hard with Wei Zheng. Sooner or later, they will accept you!"
After Yu Jiuer comforted her, she blamed herself and said, "I guess I didn't work hard enough, which made you lack confidence!"
The world's prejudice against the Yinshan people is deeply rooted. She only hopes that she can do her best to change the world's impression of the Yinshan people during her lifetime.
"No, you are already great! Without you, all of us in Yinshan County would have been reduced to slaves to build the Great Wall. How could we live freely like we do now?"
Yu Tao held Yu Jiu'er's hand and said with emotion, "I remember three years ago when I came to the capital with you to take the exam. We thought it was great to earn two hundred taels of silver by drawing a lottery. Times have changed, and now I get two hundred taels of silver, and I don't feel the slightest bit of emotion. Look, how much progress this is? It's all thanks to you!"
Yu Jiuer said with a secretive look on her face: "Back then, you, me, and Cheng An, the three of us were helpless in the capital, and everything was difficult!
Now I am with the prince, you have Wei Zheng, and Cheng An has married a Miao princess. We are also people with backers and resources, so we are naturally different!
We in Yinshan County have been depressed for many years, suffering from unexpected disasters and torture in life. God should open his eyes and let us make a name for ourselves in the Great Dong Dynasty!"
Yutao nodded, feeling happy but also worried: "It's just that Linglong Pavilion is seriously out of stock right now! The orders I have now are all scheduled until next year! Qingyu can't even supply my small shop, let alone Linglong Pavilion!
Also, the one-of-a-kind custom-made garments you mentioned have hundreds of orders at shocking prices. Where do you get so many 'one-of-a-kind' ones?"
Yu Tao was anxious and said,
"I'm afraid that if we make such a big promise and run out of goods, Linglong Pavilion will lose its reputation!"
Yu Jiuer smiled and comforted her: "Don't worry, the Yulin Army is now helping to make the goods of 'Qingyu'. As for the unique ready-made clothes, I will go back and get one, and change one or two places to make it a unique new style. Don't worry, the ready-made clothes will definitely not be duplicated!
What's more, the tailors and workers in the shops are smarter than ghosts. They have copied my designs and made many styles for their own use! If the merchants let us borrow their ideas, we can't be stingy and let them imitate us!"
The two sisters were talking in a private room when suddenly there was a noisy sound of shouting and cursing outside.
"Tell Yutao to come out, our lady has something to ask!"
"Who are you? What do you want from Shopkeeper Yu? You, such evil-looking people, will never be able to order the goods!"
"Listen carefully, we are not here to place an order! I am a servant of the Wei family, and the one next to me is General Wei's wife. You better get Yu Tao out here! How dare this bitch seduce our Third Young Master and swindle away all the property he worked so hard to earn for half his life! How shameless!"
When Yutao heard this, her face turned pale and she was completely frightened. She stood there in a daze without any reaction.
Yu Jiuer became more and more angry as she listened. She suddenly opened the door and said to them with a cold look, "How dare a slave come here to cause trouble? Is your dog born uneducated or is your master not taking good care of you? How dare you let this dog, who relies on the power of others, come out and bark randomly?"
"Who are you? Don't you know our lady? How dare you make indirect accusations? Don't you want to live?" The old slave was extremely fierce, with his hands on his waist and his eyes wide open, looking as if he wanted to eat someone.
Yu Jiuer sneered, "I didn't expect that Wei Zheng, who is such a reasonable person, would have such an unreasonable dog in his mansion? It seems that I have to ask my prince to give him an award for 'coming out of the mud without being stained' when I go back!"
The general's wife, who had a cold face, finally spoke up: "You are...Prince Jing's concubine?"
"Exactly!"
"I'm really sorry! I brought my servants here to teach a vixen a lesson, and disturbed the Concubine! I hope the Concubine will not favor any people from Yinshan!" Madam Wei nodded and bowed, but her eyes were full of disdain.
Seeing that more and more people were watching the fun, Yu Jiuer said to her, "Madam Wei, if there is anything, can we go to the backyard and close the door to talk about it?"
"please!"
The group came to the backyard of Linglong Pavilion.
Yutao's face was pale, but she still stood upright.
She stood beside the stone table in the backyard with a frank look on her face, and said righteously: "Madam Wei, Deputy General Wei and I are truly in love, and have received the blessing of Prince Jing. We have also exchanged marriage certificates and engagement letters, and it is not an affair without a matchmaker. Please don't look down on me just because I am from Yinshan!"
The shrewd old slave wanted to speak again, but Yu Jiuer shouted, "You little slave! Watch your words. Yu Tao is my sister, Yu Jiuer. Scolding her is disrespectful to me and the prince!"
Yu Jiuer said "Pa" and slapped him without any courtesy!
The old slave was beaten to the ground and looked at Yu Jiuer in astonishment. He obviously didn't expect that Yu Jiuer would dare to hit him over a disagreement.
"When beating a dog, you have to look at its owner first. Isn't the concubine too disrespectful to General Wei?" Mrs. Wei was also shocked, but she still mustered up the courage to speak up to save her face.
Yu Jiuer said coldly: "This slap I gave to General Wei is to teach the mad dog in his mansion a lesson! After all the shouting just now, one slap is considered light!"
She has someone to back her up, so why should she be afraid of her? She has to vent her anger even if it means she will burst the sky!
"You..." Madam Wei paused, fear flashing in her eyes, but she still held up her face and pointed at Yu Tao and said, "Then tell me, what was her intention in tricking my son Wei Zheng into transferring all the assets he had worked so hard for to her name? Shouldn't she teach him a lesson?"
Yu Jiuer rolled up her sleeves, ready to fight, and sneered:
"Madam Wei, please make it clear first. It is our Yutao who has been working tirelessly to help Wei Zheng manage his business, okay? Wei Zheng's little business is on the verge of bankruptcy. If it weren't for Yutao's iron-fisted rectification, do you think he could still make money?
Could you please go back and ask clearly whether it was Yutao who wanted it or whether your son forced it on her?
Our Yutao is a beautiful young lady, and she is not as good as you, a third son who is almost a bachelor. It is like a flower stuck in cow dung. How dare you come and shout at me? Where do you get the nerve to do that? "
"You..." Mrs. Wei was speechless and could only leave angrily with her servants.
Only after comforting Yutao did Yujiuer come out of Linglong Pavilion.
She was about to step onto the carriage when a luxurious carriage suddenly drove up beside her and stopped right next to her with a squeak.
Then, a large jade-white hand lifted a corner of the curtain.
Yu Jiuer lowered her head slightly and saw Shang Buqun winking at her from inside.
Not sure if it was out of guilt or fear, Yu Jiuer looked around and made sure that Jun Mo was not there before she nervously said, "First..."
Before Yu Jiuer could say anything, the people inside whispered to stop her: "Don't expose me, there are only fierce women around here, it's not safe!"
"How dare you come here when it's not safe?" Yu Jiuer couldn't help rolling her eyes, "Let's go! I have to go back too! Pass me a note if you have anything!"
Yu Jiuer said this as she hurriedly got on her carriage, as if she was fleeing in a panic, for fear that Jun Mo would find out.
"I heard that you know the color of this Prime Minister's underwear very well?"
When Yu Jiuer heard this, she twisted her ankle and almost fell off the step.
