Xun Yu invited the brother and sister to a famous restaurant on East Street.

Xun Yu asked for a room on the second floor facing the street, so that he could taste the capital's delicacies while appreciating the bustling East Street.

Meng Qianqian thought they had already left, but when she opened the window, she saw Xun Yu's sanctimonious face again.

Xun Yu also saw her, but his expression did not change at all.

Meng Qianqian pulled down the window shutter with an expressionless face.

"Xun Shizi, what are you looking at?"

Bai Yuwei noticed Xun Yu's gaze, but unfortunately when she looked towards the Yanyu Pavilion opposite, she only saw a tightly closed window.

Xun Yu smiled and said, "Across the street is the Misty Rain Pavilion, the best embroidery building in the capital. I was wondering if I should go over and take a look later."

Bai Yuwei said indifferently: "Women in your capital pay attention to their clothes and appearance, but we in Miaojiang don't have such habits."

Xun Yu showed some surprise and interest: "Oh? I wonder what Miao women like to do?"

Bai Yuwei said in a quirky way: "Raise insects!"

"Ah?" Xun Yu was stunned.

Bai Yuwei burst into laughter at his silly look.

Bai Qingchen said: "Wei'er."

Bai Yuwei suppressed her laughter and said to Xun Yu, "I was just joking. I heard that you have a saying in the Central Plains, that you should respect the clothes first and then the person, but in Miaojiang, we never judge people by appearance. Not only that, the girls in Miaojiang have been in and out of the mountains since they were young, unlike the girls in your capital who are all raised in the boudoir. If your girls go to Miaojiang, they may be bitten to death by poisonous insects in the mountains within a day."

Bai Qingchen said softly: "Wei'er."

Bai Yuwei said, "I'm not talking nonsense. There are miasma forests in Miaojiang, with countless poisonous snakes, insects and ants. Who can enter except the Miaojiang people?"

Xun Yu took a sip of tea calmly.

No wonder none of the people they sent to Miaojiang survived. It turned out that there was a natural poisonous mountain serving as a barrier.

Xun Yu was full of admiration: "No wonder when I first met Miss Bai, I felt that you were different from others. You are as heroic as a man."

Bai Yuwei suddenly said, "Xun Shizi, I want to ask you about someone."

Xun Yu smiled and said, "Miss Bai, please speak."

"Lu Yuan." Bai Yuwei asked, "You are the son of the prime minister, so you should know him, right? He is a high-ranking official in your court, I think he is... a grand commander."

Xun Yu's expression changed subtly.

He adjusted his expression in time and asked calmly, "Why did Miss Bai suddenly ask about him?"

Bai Yuwei said: "Tell me who he is first."

Xun Yu hesitated: "This..."

"He is an ungrateful bastard!"

Wei Mingxuan suddenly stood at the door of the room with his hands on his hips.

"who are you?"

Bai Yuwei asked Wei Mingxuan.

Wei Mingxuan saluted the brother and sister in a dashing manner: "I am Wei Mingxuan, Xun Yu is my cousin. You two must be the distinguished guests of the Xiangfu, right? I just heard my uncle mention you two this morning, and I was thinking of going to pay you a visit in the evening. I didn't expect such a coincidence that you also came to Tianque Tower for dinner."

The brother and sister looked at Xun Yu.

Xun Yu glanced at Wei Mingxuan and introduced him to the two of them with a smile, "My aunt's son."

Wei Mingxuan came over to Xun Yu and sat down with a smile: "Cousin, this meal is on me!"

Bai Yuwei looked at Wei Mingxuan: "Do you know Lu Yuan?"

Wei Mingxuan rolled up his sleeves and spread his legs. Xun Yu glared at him, so he quickly straightened his posture and said seriously, "More than just knowing each other, we are very familiar with each other!"

Bai Yuwei asked, "You just said he was an ungrateful person, what did you mean?"

Wei Mingxuan sighed, "It's a long story! He is an orphan. He begged on the street when he was young and almost starved to death. My uncle took pity on him and took him back to the prime minister's mansion. At first, he was a stable boy, tending horses all day long and smelling like horse urine. My cousin didn't despise him and taught him to read and write. Later, he saw that he was really pitiful sleeping in the stable in the cold winter, so he brought him back to the yard and asked him to be his book boy."

Bai Yuwei thought of Xun Yu's kind behavior towards the little beggar and the old farmer on the street, and felt that Xun Yu was indeed a kind person.

"My cousin is very talented and became Lin Jijiu's apprentice. My cousin had only one request at that time - to bring his own servant. Since ancient times, where has a servant sat at the same table with the master to study? If it were someone else, Lin Jijiu would have kicked him out long ago. But my cousin is a rare genius, and Lin Jijiu couldn't bear to part with such a good apprentice, so he agreed with reluctance."

"My cousin sincerely cultivated him, freed him from slavery, and planned to let him take the imperial examination as a commoner. Who would have thought that this kid would be so ungrateful that he immediately went to the crown prince as soon as he regained his freedom, and even used a self-torture trick, saying that the prime minister's mansion abused him! Do you think he is an ungrateful person?"

Bai Yuwei frowned and said, "I didn't expect him to be such a despicable and shameless person. Fortunately, I didn't marry him."

Wei Mingxuan was shocked: "Getting married?"

A hint of surprise also flashed across Xun Yu's eyes.

Could it be that the Miao girl who previously married Lu Yuan was Bai Yuwei, the granddaughter of the Miao King?

"Weier!"

Bai Qingchen was impressed by this outspoken sister.

Bai Yuwei folded her arms and snorted coldly: "He doesn't even know who he rejected. I will make him regret it!"

Xun Yu picked up the teacup.

Lu Yuan actually rejected the granddaughter of King Miao. Now it's going to be a good show.

The Governor's Office could not win over the Miao King no matter what.

-

“Yes, yes, yes.”

In the Misty Rain Pavilion, Bao Shu ordered every set of ready-made clothes that the embroiderers brought into the room.

"Mother, beautiful."

"Grandma, beautiful."

"Baby, beautiful."

Meng Qianqian smoothed the little hair on her head: "Yeah, beautiful."

Tan Er asked, "Bao Zhu Zhu, what's up?"

Bao Shu: "You are so conceited."

Tan'er's face darkened.

Meng Qianqian curled her lips and said to Shopkeeper Liu, "Check out."

Shopkeeper Liu smiled and said, "The total is one thousand one hundred and fifty taels."

Just as Meng Qianqian was about to give him the money, Liu Qingyun took out a stack of banknotes and said, "No need for change."

Meng Qianqian was stunned.

Aren't you from a small village? Where do you get so much money?

Liu Qingyun stood up and walked out. Seeing that Meng Qianqian didn't follow him, he couldn't help but ask, "What are you staring at?"

Meng Qianqian wanted to return the banknote to her: "Mother, I can't let you spend money."

Liu Qingyun said calmly: "What's the point of spending this little money?"

Next, they went to the gold shop and bought a set of head ornaments each. Baoshu and Tan'er bought gold necklaces, which were also paid for by Liu Qingyun.

Meng Qianqian wanted to say something but stopped herself.

Liu Qingyun looked at her strangely: "Didn't you want to buy clothes and jewelry? Are you unhappy after buying them?"

Meng Qianqian opened her mouth and said, I mean I buy it.

Liu Qingyun glanced at the two sparse sets of headgear in the box and said seriously, "It's indeed a little less."

She bought more than a dozen sets of headwear in one go. If Meng Qianqian hadn't stopped her, she would have probably bought all the gold jewelry in the store.

Meng Qianqian held her arms full of heavy jewelry, dazed and doubting her life.

Lu Yuan, why do I feel that your mother is not a country girl?

Do you want to go back and ask your grandmother if your grandfather was really just a silkworm breeder?
