One thing for another
"Miss Shao really didn't break her promise." Lingfu exclaimed as he looked at the new clothes and noodles placed in front of him.
Chu Yunjin was so happy to see Lingfu, which is enough to illustrate the Shao family's status in the capital.
"Get ready, let's go to the appointment the day after tomorrow." Chu Yunjin said softly.
"Yes." Lingfu responded quickly.
In the past two days, there has been a lot of commotion in the capital about what happened at Duke Zhuang's residence.
It's nothing more than that the eldest lady of the Li family failed to bully others, but was bullied instead, but the method she used was too unflattering, and she was ridiculed for nothing.
Li Qinghuan was really beaten so badly that his nose and face were bruised and swollen. Now he can hardly even speak, and the cynicism of his younger sisters who were gloating about his misfortune could still be heard from time to time in his ears.
Li Qinghuan was so angry that he almost fainted.
In this way, the day finally came when Chu Yunjin could go out alone.
She got dressed early and didn't forget to go to the old lady to say hello.
The old lady gave her some silver and said, "Don't embarrass the Chuhou Mansion."
"Yes." Chu Yunjin lowered his eyes and responded.
She didn't waste any time and went straight out of the house. The Shao family's carriage was already waiting outside.
Chu Yunjin slowly got on the carriage, and Shao Ziqi looked at her with a smile.
"Let's go."
"Where to go?" Shao Ziqi asked quickly.
"Is there any place in the capital that only your status can go?" Chu Yunjin asked.
"Ah?" Shao Ziqi was startled, "What do you want to do?"
"Is there any?" Chu Yunjin looked at her seriously.
Shao Ziqi pondered for a moment, "Even if you go to that place, I'm afraid you won't get what you want."
"It seems that it is available." Chu Yunjin said quickly, "Since it is available, there is no harm in giving it a try."
"Okay." Seeing that she insisted on doing this, Shao Ziqi could only agree.
She gave Liu Ye a look and said, "Go to Yuntai Pavilion."
Yuntai Pavilion?
Why does Chu Yunjin's body have no memory at all?
That's all, she still has to do it herself.
Seeing Chu Yunjin's curious face, Shao Ziqi said softly, "There are many rare and rare treasures in Yuntai Pavilion, but they cannot be obtained easily."
"Exchanging one thing for another?" Chu Yunjin asked again.
"It depends on what people are interested in in you." Shao Ziqi said with a wry smile.
"Have you been there?" Chu Yunjin saw her expression and asked.
"Yeah." Shao Ziqi nodded, "It's a pity that others don't look down on her."
"What? You want to pledge yourself to me?" Chu Yunjin joked.
"This..." Shao Ziqi stared at her, "That's not the case."
"It makes me curious." Chu Yunjin likes this kind of place the most.
When they arrived at Yuntai Pavilion, the carriage stopped, and Chu Yunjin and Shao Ziqi got off the carriage.
Chu Yunjin raised his head and took a look. The plaque of "Yuntai Pavilion" was hanging. This attic was really grand.
There are two people guarding the door.
"Better greetings." The man said expressionlessly.
Shao Ziqi took out the greeting card with the Shao family logo.
The man glanced at Chu Yunjin again.
Chu Yunjin thought for a while, pulled off a jade pendant from her waist and handed it to him.
The man glanced at the jade pendant, then returned his hands to her, leading the two of them inside.
"This jade pendant of yours has some background." Shao Ziqi came closer and looked at her.
Chu Yunjin just smiled.
This was the last time he taught Chu Yunrou a lesson, and he did it while she wasn't paying attention.
Now it actually comes in handy.
Shao Ziqi and her entered the attic together.
"You two, I don't know what you want to ask for?" an old man came up and asked.
Chu Yunjin glanced back and forth, then walked to the desk beside him and wrote two words gracefully.
The old man stepped forward and took a look, his eyes flashed with surprise, and then he looked at her, "This thing is worth a lot of money."
"It seems there is one." Chu Yunjin whispered.
"It's a pity that this lady doesn't have anything to exchange for." The old man looked at Chu Yunjin and said in a contemptuous tone.
Chu Yunjin took out a scroll from his sleeve and handed it to the old man.
After unfolding it, the old man glanced at her and then looked at her, "This..."
"How?" she asked again.
The old man quickly saluted her and said, "Wait a moment."
The old man went straight to the attic and came back after a while.
"Miss, please move forward. My pavilion master would like to see you."
"Yes." Chu Yunjin took Shao Ziqi's hand and stepped forward together.
Shao Ziqi looked at her in disbelief.
This is really weird stuff that happens every day, but today is especially weird.
I remember that at the beginning, the Shao family tried their best to pray for her, but the master of Yuntai Pavilion ignored her. In the end, they still couldn't find a way to make her recover.
Now, Chu Yunjin came here for the first time and met the pavilion master like this.
What exactly did she give that person?
On the contrary, Chu Yunjin followed the old man to the innermost room calmly.
However, there is a screen across the room, so the appearance of the people inside cannot be clearly seen.
Chu Yunjin felt slightly blessed, "Chu Yunjin has met the Pavilion Master."
Shao Ziqi also saluted.
"You two ladies, please take a seat." A man's deep voice came from behind the screen.
Chu Yunjin and Shao Ziqi sat down.
"I wonder where Miss Chu got this?" the man asked.
Chu Yunjin looked at him, "I came here to exchange one thing for another. As for where this thing came from, if the master of the pavilion asked, wouldn't it be a violation of the rules?"
She added, "If the Pavilion Master is not willing, then I have no choice but to excuse myself."
There was a brief silence from behind the screen.
Shao Ziqi sat aside, surprised.
Half a moment later, the old man came over from the other side of the screen, handed her a brocade box, put an ink stand on it, and handed her a wolf hair.
"This is the contract. Please ask Miss Chu to sign it."
"Since it is a contract, I should keep a copy, right?" Chu Yunjin lowered his head and glanced at the contents of the contract and said.
The old man quickly brought another one and handed it to her.
Chu Yunjin took out his seal from his arms, made a mark with his pen, and stamped it with his own seal.
"Farewell." She stood up and said, taking the brocade box and contract.
Shao Ziqi did not expect that it would go so smoothly.
When the two of them left Yuntai Pavilion and sat on the carriage, Shao Ziqi had not yet recovered.
"That's it?" Shao Ziqi looked at her.
"What else?" Chu Yunjin whispered, "Wait, let me check."
As she spoke, she opened the brocade box and looked at the snow lotus inside. There was still flower juice on the stamens. She took the prepared silver needle, stabbed it, and then pulled Shao Ziqi's hand over.
Before Shao Ziqi could react, Chu Yunjin grabbed the dagger on the side and made a cut on her finger.
Blood dripped onto the white jade dish she had prepared early.
Before Shao Ziqi could feel any pain, he watched her quickly and carefully drip the flower juice into the jade dish. Soon, her blood merged with the flower juice.
Chu Yunjin handed it to her, "We don't have enough time, just lick it like this."
