Chapter 213 Uncle and nephew meet
Ye Wenbo suddenly felt a little embarrassed. He cleared his throat and tried to cover up his gaffe.
Wu Yanrui's face also turned a little ugly. She didn't notice that she had spent so much money at first, but when she saw Ye Wenbo's reaction, she suddenly felt a little embarrassed.
Chunxi still kept smiling and said slowly,
"Master, the ones Madam has chosen are all top-quality products from our Su Jinge. This 'Red Beauty' is extracted from the most precious flower juice, with bright and long-lasting color and charming fragrance. It is also famous in the capital. The ones Madam has chosen are all treasures of our store. Besides, the pair of bracelets are made of the finest jade, with a warm texture and transparent color. And this pearl hairpin is inlaid with precious gems, with fine workmanship and is unique. The price of five hundred taels is already very affordable."
Ye Wenbo frowned, secretly regretting that he shouldn't have let Wu Yanrui choose so easily.
But now that the words were out, he couldn't go back on his word, so he could only bite the bullet and prepare to pay the money.
He reached for the purse in his sleeve, but his movements were hesitant.
He had silver notes for the five hundred taels of silver, but he had asked someone to help him find a job in Beijing. If he spent the money now, the job would probably fail.
Wu Yanrui felt a little uneasy when she saw Ye Wenbo's hesitation.
She gently pulled Ye Wenbo's sleeve and said coquettishly,
"Master, I think the bracelet is not of good quality. It is better not to have it for now. If you find a good one in the future, you can buy it for me. Is that okay?"
Ye Wenbo felt relieved when he heard Wu Yanrui's words. He nodded and said,
"Okay, then it's up to you."
Seeing this, Chunxi was not going to let Ye Wenbo save money, so she twitched her lips slightly.
"Master Ye is so lucky. Your new wife is so cruel to give up something just to save you some money, even though she clearly likes it. It makes you seem a little ignorant of romance! No one has ever said anything bad about the things in our Su Jinge. Madam is very considerate, but I can't admit this, lest people think that our quality is really bad!"
Chunxi's voice was crisp, and as soon as she finished speaking, Ye Wenbo noticed that many more eyes were looking at him.
Ye Wenbo frowned again and glared at Chunxi fiercely, but Chunxi was not moved at all and still looked at them with a smile.
“Wrap it up!”
Ye Wenbo didn't want to stay any longer, so he gritted his teeth and said it.
The five hundred taels of silver note was gently handed to Chunxi's hand. Chunxi took the note and the smile on his face became even brighter.
"Mr. Ye is so generous! Thank you for taking care of our business. You are welcome to come often in the future."
Ye Wenbo felt the pain of spending this money, and without paying any attention to Wu Yanrui behind him, he strode straight out of the door of Su Jinge.
Wu Yanrui was about to speak when she saw Ye Wenbo's gloomy face, but she didn't dare to say anything more and could only follow Ye Wenbo away obediently.
After leaving Su Jinge, Ye Wenbo was still in a bad mood. He felt that he had lost face in Su Jinge today and spent so much money, which was not worth it.
"Don't spend money like this anymore."
Ye Wenbo said to Wu Yanrui, with a hint of blame in his tone.
Wu Yanrui felt aggrieved. It was the first time she went out after so many days in the mansion. But she did not dare to refute Ye Wenbo. She could only lower her head and said nothing.
Ye Wenbo felt impatient when he saw Wu Yanrui's aggrieved look, and had no sympathy for her at all.
"Let's go back!"
He was upset at the moment. Five hundred taels of silver were all the money he had left. If he had known this, he would not have taken Wu Yanrui out today.
Wu Yanrui looked at Ye Wenbo's face carefully and said softly,
"Master, don't be angry. I will be more frugal in the future."
Ye Wenbo snorted and said nothing. He was thinking about how to raise money to do the errand.
In Su Jinge, Chunxi looked at their departing backs, feeling secretly proud.
It was just five hundred taels of silver, but Ye Wenbo felt so distressed that he couldn't bear it.
Little did he know how much money he had spent on the lady of the Ye family before.
At this time, Chunxi didn't know that because of these five hundred taels of silver, the Ye family would be turned upside down. She was only thinking about going back as soon as possible to tell her young lady the news.
Liangcheng.
Inside a house in the city.
"Chen'er, why are you here?"
Xiao Mu looked at Xiao Chen who appeared behind the secret guard and was a little surprised.
When he came back this time, he sent a message to Xiao Chen, but he did not tell him where he was. Unexpectedly, he would come directly to him.
He looked at the secret guard with some displeasure.
Xiao Chen is the child left behind after his sister left. Although he is only eight years old this year, his small figure reveals a calmness far beyond his peers.
His facial features were delicate, but his skin was a little pale. However, from time to time, his eyes flashed with a gloom that was inconsistent with his age.
"Uncle, I forced him to bring me here. Don't blame him."
Xiao Chen's little face was full of stubbornness. He raised his chin slightly and looked straight into Xiao Mu's eyes.
"Uncle, I know what you are going to do. Don't worry, I will stay here well. I am just worried about your safety, so I must come to see you."
Xiao Mu looked at Xiao Chen's determined look, feeling both moved and helpless.
He squatted down and gently stroked Xiao Chen's head.
"Chen'er, this place is very dangerous, you shouldn't have come. Uncle can protect himself, you should stay in a safe place."
Xiao Chen shook his head.
"Uncle, you are the only one by my side. If you can protect me, I will stay anywhere. If you can't, where can I stay that is safe?"
"Chen'er, you..."
Xiao Mu sighed. He didn't know who this child inherited his personality from. He was very stubborn.
"Forget it, it's up to you!"
He stood up and said to the secret guard,
"Protect the young master well from now on. If anything goes wrong, you will be held responsible."
The secret guard quickly nodded his head.
Xiao Chen saw that Xiao Mu was no longer angry and his expression eased a lot. This was the first time that his uncle had left the northwest for such a long time.
Now that he could see his uncle, his worries were finally alleviated a little.
"Uncle, did everything go smoothly during your return to Beijing this time?"
There was concern in Xiao Chen's cold voice.
Hearing Xiao Chen mention the capital, Xiao Mu's eyes softened a lot, and then he thought of the thing Ye Xiaoxiao asked him to give to Xiao Chen before leaving.
"It went well. By the way, there is something that someone asked me to bring to you."
After Xiao Mu said this, he signaled Mo Yu to go find the flute.
Xiao Chen's eyes flashed with curiosity. Was it for him? He didn't know anyone in Beijing?
He couldn't figure out who would send him the gift.
After a while, Mo Yu came over with a jade flute that was as smooth as snow and handed it to Xiao Mu.
Xiao Mu took the jade flute and handed it to Xiao Chen personally.
"This flute is called Huanyan. Someone asked me to bring it here. I wish you happiness in this life and no sorrow."
