Chapter 2274 Many People Poured Into the City
Shu Yu naturally agreed to this small request.
Not only did Ying Xi want to buy it, Shu Yu also wanted to give it as a gift. But she was not in a hurry, she could wait until the baby was about to be born before making preparations.
It's just that Hua Xian is pregnant. At least from pregnancy to lactation, and even before the child can run and jump, it is no longer easy to serve the old lady.
The old lady is getting older, so she still needs a maid who is smarter and faster.
As for Hua Xian, she has been with the old lady for several years and knows the old lady's living habits best. It is no problem to be a more leisurely housekeeper and take charge of the affairs in the old lady's yard.
Shu Yu thought about asking the old lady what she meant, and then promoted a maid to come up.
As expected, Ying Xi went out early the next morning, and Meng Yunzheng was not there either. He went to Zhenglu Academy to finalize the procedures for the start of school with Master Wen and others.
Shu Yu was thinking about preparing things for Meng Yunzheng at home. He would go to the southwest after school started.
Last time he went back to Southwest, Shu Yu took care of everything on his way, and now it was her turn.
Ying Xi came back at noon, carrying not only large and small bags, but also a large bundle behind him, and entered the courtyard with a squeak.
Shu Yu, "..."
There’s no need to buy so much, right?
Shu Yu helped her unload the things from her back. Ying Xi opened the box and took out the silver lock and a pair of silver bracelets inside. "Miss, do you think this looks good?"
Shu Yu was surprised, "This costs a lot of money, right? Do you still have enough money?"
"That's enough."
Shu Yu felt strange, "I see you don't buy too much food, but you still have so much money saved?"
She knew that most of Ying Xi's money was spent on food, especially when she was in the capital. She would take advantage of her free time to find out where the food was delicious, even those in deep alleys. Pass.
Prices in the capital are not cheap. She has been eating for several months, so she can't be so rich.
Unexpectedly, Ying Xi said something shocking, "Those things to eat were all bought by Cheyenne. I actually didn't spend much."
Shu Yu's eyes widened and he looked Ying Xi up and down, "Xiayan bought all the food? Is he so generous?"
"She has an ulterior motive."
"What purpose?"
Ying Xileng snorted, "He wanted to bribe me, please me, and let me reveal more information about you, Miss, so that he could sell well in front of my uncle. But I was smart, I didn't say anything, and ate him I won’t spit it out.”
Shu Yu, "..."
As someone who had been there, she felt like she had guessed something, but after listening to Ying Xi's words, she was no longer sure about her guess.
"By the way, miss, when I went out, I found a lot of new faces coming to the county town."
Shu Yu came to his senses and asked, "What kind of face is there?"
"They all seem to be scholars. I heard people say that they all came for my uncle's academy. Now the inns in the county are full, and many people have people staying in their homes. When I went to Yiren Pavilion, Bao Ya happened to be there Well, she said there were still people asking to come to their house early this morning, and the third master had rented out three rooms."
Shu Yu was not surprised at all by his third uncle's behavior of collecting money everywhere.
Ying Xi said, "It turned out that not many people in our county knew about the two gentlemen who were invited to the academy. But I heard that many people came from the capital. They told me everything about my uncle in the capital. Even The scholars in the state capital next door all know this and are squeezing in this way like crazy."
