A concubine enters the mansion? Reborn, three matchmakers and six engagements to marry the Prime Min

When Su Qingyu heard that Li Yunzhou's whereabouts were found, she immediately looked at Wen Zhu nervously, "How is he? Is he okay?"

Wen Zhu shook his head and said, "I'm not sure yet."

As he spoke, he handed the secret letter in his hand to Shen Zhixiu.

Shen Zhixiu took it and read the few words on it. After reading it, he said, "Our people found traces near the river near Liao State. It seems to be Yunzhou and his elite subordinates."

He instructed Wen Zhu, "Don't spread this matter outside, and tell our people not to interfere in General Li's affairs."

Wenzhu replied yes and turned around to deliver the message.

Su Qingyu's face was full of joy. "It looks like everything is fine. That's good."

Shen Zhixiu signaled her to go back and rest, as he had to go out of the house for something.

As soon as Su Qingyu returned to the West Courtyard, Zhenzhu came in and reported, "Madam, the fourth young lady is here."

"Please."

He also instructed Chuntao and Qiuyue beside him to bring in the fruits and snacks that the Fourth Miss liked.

Su Shunci was growing up this year and especially liked sweet food. Chuntao brought in four-color crispy candies, osmanthus crispy cakes, pea yellow and chestnut cakes. Qiuyue wanted to change her tea to sweet milk tea, but was stopped by Su Qingyu.

"Give her Biluochun. It's hard for her to digest such a sweet snack and then drink milk tea."

Su Shunci happened to walk in at this time and said coquettishly, "Usually my aunt and mother control me, and my third cousin also watches me, but when I come to my eldest sister's place, they won't let me eat as much as I want."

Su Qingyu glanced at her lovingly, "If we don't take care of you, I think you'll have to make your clothes once a month."

"Third cousin never likes to meddle in other people's business. Why is he watching you eat?"

Su Shunci snorted and sat down, picking up an osmanthus shortbread and started eating. "Yesterday at dinner, there was a delicious stewed pork elbow. He grabbed most of it and said that if I ate any more, my face would get rounder."

As he spoke, Su Shunci stood up again and looked in the mirror. "It's not round, but compared to my third cousin, my face is indeed a little fat."

Su Qingyu comforted him, "He is a dishonest person. I will tell him off next time."

Jinyun at the side couldn't help but interrupt, "Miss, you misunderstood our third cousin. Before eating the pork elbow, our young lady also ate a basket of steamed buns, half a golden flat fish, and drank a large bowl of ginseng chicken soup."

"My third cousin said that he is not afraid of her eating too much, but he is afraid that she will get sick from eating too much."

"I was worried this morning, so I asked a doctor to take her pulse. The doctor said our young lady had excessive stomach fire, so he prescribed some medicine."

Su Qingyu burst out laughing when she heard that, and she said that no matter how unruly the third cousin was, he would not snatch the elbow from the fourth sister.

Su Shunci lowered her eyes embarrassedly, "I didn't expect that I was sick."

Su Qingyu rubbed her head. "At your age, it's okay to eat more, but don't overeat. You are growing up now. I think in another six months, you will be as tall as me."

Su Shunci then pulled her up and insisted on comparing their heights, even with their backs to each other.

When they sat down again, Su Shunci motioned Jinyun to bring the things over. Su Qingyu then saw that Jinyun was holding a red lacquered wooden box in his hand.

"What's this? Are you bringing me a gift?"

Su Shunci smiled mysteriously, "It's a great gift, big sister, please take a look."

The box was opened, and inside was a neatly stacked stack of banknotes.

The top one was worth 10,000 taels. Su Qingyu flipped through the notes below and saw that they were all worth 10,000 taels.

"How much is this?" she asked, pointing to the banknote.

Su Shunci replied: "The capital is 500,000 taels, and there is a surplus of 820,000 taels to be shared with my eldest sister."

"According to my elder sister's instructions, I also left 820,000 taels and gave 820,000 taels to my mother."

In fact, she gave Lin Wanyin 1.2 million taels last night, but Lin Wanyin looked at the accounts and saw that Su Shunci only kept a few tens of thousands of taels for herself, so she asked her to redistribute it.

Su Qingyu looked at Su Shunci disapprovingly, "You two are so bold. You just came here with more than 1.3 million taels of silver?"

"Next time, tell me and I'll send someone to get it."

If this is seen by someone with ulterior motives, murder and robbery may occur.

Jinyun was deeply touched and said in fear: "Miss, you don't know, I didn't dare to breathe all the way, and everyone I saw looked like a robber."

Su Shunci said, "If I don't tell you, who would know that there is silver in it?"

Su Qingyu turned to look at Feicui, "You all go down and take Jinyun to the tea room for some tea and snacks."

After the waiters had gone down, Su Qingyu said to Su Shunci, "Ah Ci, never use money to test human nature."

"Do you think no one knows that you took out so much silver? Jinyun knows, and maybe the accountant of your shop also knows."

Su Shunci was puzzled, "Big sister, do you suspect Jinyun?"

Su Qingyu shook her head and said, "I don't doubt Jinyun, and I don't doubt anyone around you."

"But you can't use other people's loyalty and kindness to avoid your own risks. Take today's incident for example. What if Jinyun accidentally told his relatives at home?"

"Maybe she won't be tempted once or twice, but what about over time?"

"If one day someone around you betrays their master or enriches themselves for personal gain, it is because you gave them the opportunity."

Su Shunci nodded vigorously, "I understand what elder sister said. Just like elder sister is the housekeeper, everything is handled according to the family rules."

She was indeed careless about this matter. She thought it wasn't a long journey and there was no need to mobilize a large force, so she came in person with the banknotes.

The elder sister is right, we cannot use money to test human nature.

Su Shunci added: "This time it's because of disaster relief, that's all we have, otherwise we could make more. But my third cousin said that when doing business we can't just focus on immediate profits."

Su Qingyu thought to herself that she had to find a chance to treat her third cousin to a meal. The third cousin had made a great contribution to Ah Ci's success.

By noon, Shen Zhixiu had not returned yet, so Su Qingyu invited Su Shunci to have lunch.

In the afternoon, Su Shunci said that she agreed to accompany Song Wanwan to Fanjinlou. Su Qingyu personally sent Su Shunci to the gate of the west courtyard to take the carriage. After watching the carriage leave, she turned around and walked towards the inner courtyard.

But suddenly, I heard voices coming from the gate of the courtyard where Mr. Zhou lived not far away.

"Mr. Zhou, pack up quickly and come with me. Our master is waiting. Even though you are a miracle doctor, you can't keep him waiting, right?"

The person who was speaking was a middle-aged man. Su Qingyu didn't know if it was an illusion, but she felt that the tone of his voice was a bit weird.

She turned around and called over a guard in the outer courtyard, asking, "Who is that person?"

The guard bowed and replied, "To answer Third Madam's question, it was Chen Guanshi from Chen Ge's family who said he came to ask Mr. Zhou to diagnose the old lady of the Chen family."

After the guard finished answering, Mr. Zhou said, "Butler Chen, I've said that I'll be free in the evening. I promised the old man who sells tofu in the East Market to take a look at his legs."

Butler Chen looked unhappy when he heard this. "I don't care if you are an old man or old lady selling tofu, just tell him to wait. Our master is of low status, how can we wait for you forever?"
