The daily life of the concubine of the Prime Minister

Chapter 151 Commitment to the Present

Their guess was correct. Zhou Huaian came to propose marriage and the Chen family agreed.

Master Chen's face was very sour. Three days had passed. Seeing that Chen Xiyao was not in a good mood, he knew Zhou Huaian. He was indeed famous, but after what happened last time, what would he say to the Zhou family? I don't know if this marriage is good or bad.

Qin Ke, on the contrary, thinks Zhou Huaian is a good guy, handsome, humble and polite, and a good match for Yaoer.

Just looking at the little girl from the past, now that she is getting married, I feel reluctant to let her go.

Seeing Chen Xiyao distracted and absent-minded again and again, Qin Ke asked Chen Xiyao again whether she was willing to marry Zhou Huaian.

Chen Xiyao gave a positive answer.

Qin Ke felt relieved and never came to Chen's house again.

Three days passed in the blink of an eye.

The day agreed with Zhang Mengdie to go to Zhang's house arrived. Liu Yu came to Wutong Courtyard. Chen Xiyao was staring at a red plum wreath in a daze. Next to her was a piece of bright red brocade, which was the material for making wedding dresses.

Liu Yu walked over and sat down opposite her. A quarter of an hour had passed, but Chen Xiyao still hadn't noticed her. She had no choice but to wave her hand in front of her.

At this point, Chen Xiyao came back to her senses, smiled awkwardly and asked, "Yu'er, when did you come?"

Liu Yu: “…”

It seems like she has been sitting here for so long and has been ignored!

Anyway, Chen Xiyao has been like this for a long time. Ever since she got engaged, she has been like this and no one can find out the reason.

But this wreath seems to be given by Qin Ke.

Liu Yu explained the purpose of his visit today: "Yao'er, Zhang Mengdie will come to invite me to the Zhang family today, do you want to go with me?"

Last time, Chen Xiyao avoided Zhang Mengdie and did not go to Xiangheyuan, so she naturally would not agree this time.

In the end, only Liu Yu was there. Mr. Chen San knew about it and was afraid that something might happen to her, so he gave Feng Mo to her again and followed the Zhang Mansion's carriage all the way until Liu Yu came out of the Zhang Mansion.

However, Liu Yu only found out about this later.

At this time, after returning from Wutong Courtyard, she asked Guyu to pick out a gift and pack it up in her small warehouse.

Since she opened the Yuzhen Hall, in addition to silver and money, she also kept some jewelry and exquisite clothes. On the opening day, many people gave her a lot of good things, which she brought back.

Liu Yu specially set up an ear room in Qinyuanju as a small warehouse to store these things.

As for Prime Minister Zhang's portion, it was prepared by Mr. Chen San a long time ago.

When everything was ready, the Zhang Mansion's carriage had arrived. Liu Yu took Guyu out of Qinyuanju. Granny Kui and Feng Mo were waiting at the door.

An hour later, the carriage arrived outside Zhang's house. Zhang Mengdie was waiting outside the door. Her face was not very good, but due to her dignity as a noble lady, she had to smile and welcome Liu Yu and others into the house.

They walked around the courtyard, passed the waterside pavilion, and stopped in front of a small building called Suilu Pavilion. Looking at Yu Zhang Mengdie's courtyard, one in the west and the other in the east, Liu Yu frowned slightly.

She didn't come here really as a guest this time, but because there was something in the Zhang Mansion that she felt must be destroyed, and this thing directly determined whether she could survive the emperor's wrath.

In their previous life, they were just like this. They saved their lives, but at the same time they tricked Zhou Zheng, who was dealing with the Zhang family, and almost pushed Zhou Zheng to the position of the next assistant.

If Zhou Zheng had not surrendered to the Fifth Prince in the previous life, and the Fifth Prince had not introduced the Zhou family to Prince Qi, thus making a great contribution to the Zhou family, the Zhou family would no longer exist.

This time, the royal family summoned Master Chen San at night, and Master Chen San told her roughly what the royal family had asked him to do to investigate Zhang Lianci.

Liu Yu realized that since the last Lingnan incident, the development of events in this life has become different from that in the previous life. It seems that his participation has an impact.

The one facing Zhang Lianci was not Zhou Zheng, but Mr. Chen Sanye.

In this way, Zhang Lianci's means of counterattack cannot be retained.

And that thing was buried under the corner of the wall in the backyard of Zhang Mengdie's yard.

"Miss Zhang, do you live here?" Liu Yu asked knowingly.

Zhang Mengdie nodded without any guilt: "Yes."

Her grandfather never allowed her to use her yard to entertain guests. When she was not yet of age, she once invited Feng Huan to visit her Qinghe Garden. Her grandfather found out and punished her by making her kneel in the ancestral hall for most of the day.

Besides, she didn't really invite Liu Yu here, so she would not bring Liu Yu into her yard.

Liu Yu seemed to see through Zhang Mengdie's thoughts, but he had no intention of pointing it out.

She followed Zhang Mengdie into the Suilu Pavilion, where a table of food and wine had already been set out to entertain the guests. Zhang Mengdie wanted to invite Liu Yu to sit down, and it looked like she couldn't wait for Liu Yu to finish his meal so that they could leave.

Liu Yu could only say that Zhang Mengdie was too fanciful. Hasn't she heard the saying that it is easy to invite gods but difficult to send them away?

How could I leave easily without getting the things?

Liu Yu laughed: "Miss Zhang, do you think I'm here to eat?"

Zhang Mengdie frowned: "What do you want to do? Let me tell you first, no matter what you want to do, this is the Zhang Mansion, I will not agree to it."

Although she didn't know what was happening in the court, her grandfather still admired Master Chen San. The two families were in different camps, so she was of course on guard against the Chen family.

No matter what Liu Yu proposes today, don't expect to get anything from her.

Liu Yu raised his eyebrows, showed a disapproving smile, and said nonchalantly: "That's not necessarily true, what if I can help you!" Then he sat down at the dining table, picked up the teapot and poured two cups of tea, and handed one to Zhang Mengdie: "Sit down! Aren't you going to treat me to a meal?"

"What did you mean just now?" Zhang Mengdie took the cup from Liu Yu's hand, a little curious about what she had just said.

"It means exactly what it says." Liu Yu took a sip of tea and said with a faint smile.

"Thank you, but I don't need any help from you." Zhang Mengdie declined Liu Yu's kindness without any hesitation, and at the same time became more wary of Liu Yu.

Seeing Zhang Mengdie's refusal was so resolute, Liu Yu would not do as Zhang Mengdie wished. Regardless of whether Zhang Mengdie was willing to listen or not, Liu Yu picked up the food in the bowl, took a bite, and heard her say:

"What if I can help you repair the sweet white glaze porcelain vase?"

It was impossible for her to come to Zhang's house without any preparation. During the three days of free time, she asked Grandma Kui to stay near Zhang's house, and finally she got some useful information.

The night before yesterday, the Zhang family's nanny sneaked out of the house, went to the South City, and found the most famous porcelain repairman in the capital.

Yesterday she went to Nanshi in person to find the old craftsman and learned from him that Zhang Mengdie wanted him to repair a sweet white-glazed porcelain from the previous dynasty, but the old craftsman knew that his skills were not good enough and refused the Zhang family's nanny.

She learned from Mr. Chen San that Zhang Lianci was a collector of ancient porcelain.
