Chapter 7

In Chu Changqing's impression, Shangguan Wanxi has been bowing her head in front of him, submissive, small voice like a mosquito, never dare to look him in the eye, did not expect to be such a coward, even after he was retired, she talked about the conditions with them in the Chu house.

Zhao Wanxi knew that she couldn't go back to taishifu. She had to find a place to settle down for herself. On the way back, she had inquired about it. If she wanted to buy a mansion in the capital, it would cost at least 800 taels of silver.

"A thousand taels of silver."

As soon as she opened her mouth, she was so surprised that Chu's mother and son almost lost their chin, and only half a sound came back to her.

Chu Lao Fu was so angry that he clapped his desk and said, "you really dare to speak. Even if you sell you, I'm afraid you can't sell 100 liang of silver. If you open your mouth, it's 1000 Liang. You just go and grab it."

Zhao Wanxi took a bite of the sweet scented osmanthus cake, but she was still calm: "when I married to Chu, I was afraid that my dowry was more than 100 Liang silver! Mother in law... "

Mrs. Chu didn't expect that the honest and weak daughter-in-law would become so smart overnight. Her face turned red and white with anger. She wanted to say something, but she was stopped by Chu Changqing.

"Buy it now, three hundred taels of silver. If you want it, you'll have no money... "

Chu Changqing's hoarse voice told me that his wife had to pay money for it. If it was spread out, he would be the laughing stock of others in the whole capital.

Zhao Wanxi's long eyelashes flashed, and her eyes moved. She had an idea in her heart.

She knew that it was not a wise choice to continue to entangle with the Chu family. The accounts had to be calculated slowly.

"All right! Three hundred taels is three hundred taels, but you have to give back all of my dowry. Now that I've retired, there's no reason why I've lost my dowry. "

Chu Changqing gritted his teeth: "good! Your dowry Take it all away. From now on, we'll pay for both money and goods, and each of us will not owe the other! "

The door of Cixin palace opens slowly, and the sound of Guanghua and music of silk and bamboo flows quietly. From the moment Zhao Wanxi was announced into the palace to now, her smart eyes have never stopped.

The bronze door is carved with gold and silver, the corridor is lined with stone, the octagonal palace lamp is inlaid with white jade, and the screen is inlaid with Ivory Flower. Every detail is luxurious and exquisite.

All the way, she was brought into the Empress Dowager's bedroom, where sandalwood curled. The Empress Dowager was sitting in front of the dresser with auspicious clouds carved on agaric wood. Beside her stood a woman with a phoenix hairpin on her head. Her clothes were gorgeous. It was not difficult to guess her identity from the Phoenix Dance nine days pattern embroidered in her long skirt.

"Is it you who uncovered the imperial list?"

The Empress Dowager and the empress's Apricot eyes flashed a trace of surprise. Unexpectedly, it was a little girl who revealed the imperial list.

Zhao Wanxi's snow muscles are even whiter with her bright red Bixia. If the Chu family is not too stingy, why should she rush into the palace to earn money? She just hopes to get enough money to buy a place to settle down.

"Zhao Wanxi, the daughter of the people, greets the Empress Dowager and Empress Dowager."

Zhao Wanxi cleverly went on the ceremony, and the light and broken sunlight fell on her through the window edge, forming a natural and beautiful picture.

The Empress Dowager nodded with satisfaction. She had a good feeling for her for no reason.

"I'll help you with the diagnosis..."

From entering the house to now, Zhao Wanxi has been observing the Empress Dowager silently. From her looks and words, it seems that the old man's body should be OK. She doesn't look like a patient.
