Daughter Reborn as the Head of the Family

Chapter 37 Rumors

Behind the General's Mansion was the Queen. Compared to Mrs. Shen of the Duke of Song's Mansion, Shopkeeper Li only hesitated for a moment and made a decision immediately.

"Miss Song Er, it's okay to just say it."

"Immediately place these two things in the most conspicuous place in Yong'an Pawn Shop. If anyone asks about the history, shopkeeper Li will just say that they belong to the matron of the Duke of Song Dynasty."

Song Jinyue raised her lips, a hint of cunning flashed in her eyes.

Shopkeeper Li is in trouble. If he really follows Miss Song's wishes, he will really offend Mrs. Shen of Song Guogong's mansion. If Song Guogong is displeased and comes to ask questions, what should he do?

"If my father comes to find him, shopkeeper Li will just say that I brought the things to Yong'an Pawn Shop." Song Jinyue guessed shopkeeper Li's worries.

So he directly gave shopkeeper Li a dose of reassurance.

Only then did Shopkeeper Li agree.

As for the price Song Jinyue originally had in mind, shopkeeper Li increased it a little more and ordered the boy to send him a thousand taels of silver notes.

Song Jinyue did not refuse, thanked him, accepted the one thousand taels of silver notes, and then took Qiu Yun out of Yong'an Pawn Shop.

But instead of going back to the General's Mansion, he turned around and entered the Dongman Building nearby.

When the boy saw the elegant dress, he knew that an important guest was coming, so he hurriedly ushered the two of them to the private room on the second floor.

Song Jinyue ordered some food and asked the boy to pack it up and take it away.

Zhang's carriage was parked in the alley next to Dongman Tower.

The boy smiled and retreated to prepare the dishes, then closed the door of the private room.

"Qiu Yun, go to the tailor shop nearby and ask the shopkeeper to make some winter clothes for Mr. Qin to send over, and then make some winter clothes for Miss Qin and send them to the Duke's Mansion. Remember, you must instruct the shopkeeper to hand over the things in person. In the hands of Miss Qin."

With that said, Song Jinyue took out a hundred taels of silver notes from her arms and handed them to Qiu Yun.

When they left the house today, Qiu Yun hurriedly gave Miss Qin some winter clothes of her own and told her to stay in peace, thinking that she would be able to return home today.

But who knew that the plan could not keep up with the change, and the young lady would have to stay in the General's Mansion for a few days.

Qiu Yun was actually a little worried about Qin Wan who stayed in the Duke's Mansion.

"Yes, I'll take care of it now, maid." But Qiu Yun never mentioned her worries to the young lady.

"Remember to look for your cousin again and arrange for people to keep an eye on Dr. Xu's mansion. I'll wait for you here. Go back as soon as possible!" Song Jinyue had already decided on many trivial matters when leaving the mansion today.

None of these matters can be postponed at the moment. If we go back to Zhang's house, my grandmother and aunt will inevitably have to ask about it.

She really didn't want to lie to her close relatives who loved and cared for her.

"My maid has written it all down, don't worry, young lady." Qiu Yun put the banknote in her arms, nodded solemnly, and then walked out of Dongman Tower.

Not long after, the boy from Dongmanlou wrapped the food she asked for in thick oil paper, put it in a black lacquer basket, and brought it to her.

Song Jinyue thanked him and asked for a pot of tea from the boy.

She was the only one left in the private room.

Song Jinyue stood up and walked to the window, gently pushing the window in front of her with her bare hands. This elegant room happened to be facing the main street, and Qiu Yun's figure entered the tailor shop nearby.

He raised his eyes slightly and looked towards the end of the long street.

The streets were bustling with people and it was so lively.

Song Jinyue waited in the private room for about two more cups of tea before Qiu Yun rushed back out of breath.

Her cheeks turned red due to the cold wind, and she gasped for air, calling out "Miss" in a hoarse voice.

Song Jinyue quickly poured a new cup of tea and handed it to Qiu Yun.

She took the white porcelain tea cup and poured it into her mouth. She only quenched her thirst. Seeing this, Song Jinyue hurriedly went to pick up the white porcelain teapot on the table.

Qiu Yun shook her head, raised her hand, picked up the teapot, poured a full cup into the blank porcelain cup she held tightly in her hand, and then gave up.

I drank it wholeheartedly again, and my shortness of breath was relieved a little.

She put the teapot and the tea cup on the table, and then slowly replied: "My maid has taken care of everything, don't worry, young lady."

Only then did Qiu Yun tell the young lady the details one by one.

Her cousin and two people were personally watching the residence of Imperial Physician Xu. She specifically ordered the garment shop to make the winter clothes for Master Qin and Miss Qin as soon as possible, so that they could be sent to Master Qin and Miss Qin later tomorrow.

,

After finishing what the lady ordered, Qiu Yun went to the door of Yong'an Pawnshop to take a look.

Shopkeeper Li is also a quick-thinking person, and the jade hairpin and the gold hairpin are currently placed in the most conspicuous position of Yong'an Pawn Shop.

Some people are spreading rumors outside that the jade hairpin looks like it belongs to Shen, the mistress of Song Dynasty's Duke's Palace?

Now, the news has probably spread all over the capital.

She had just heard the women on the street talking about it, saying that she had never expected that the Song Dynasty Duke's mansion would have to pawn the treasure that the mistress of the house cherished to make ends meet.

Naturally, some people are also talking about whether the huge Duke of Song Dynasty really has no money...or are you trying to use this to allude to someone else?

"Miss, if the Duke knows about this, then we..."

Qiu Yun couldn't help but worry about her young lady, but when the young lady wanted to pawn the things given by Shen, she didn't stop her. After all, she didn't value Shen's things at all.

But what if the Duke of the country punishes his own lady for this?

"Not afraid." Song Jinyue replied extremely calmly.

She just wanted to let her father know that she had pawned the things given by Shen and Song Jinxi!

If her father doesn't get angry, what will happen next will be difficult for her!

Thinking of what she had told the Xiang brothers, Song Jinyue couldn't help but raise her lips.

Qiu Yun was even more puzzled, why did the young lady look so happy? Could it be that she had seen it wrong?

She couldn't help but rub her eyes and saw the faint smile on the young lady's lips. She was absolutely sure that she was not mistaken.

"Miss……"

"Let's go, don't keep grandma waiting for too long." Song Jinyue did not explain too much, but pointed to the black lacquer basket on the table, indicating to Qiu Yun to bring something, and then left the door of the private room.

After getting on the carriage, we went straight to General Zhang's Mansion.

Qiu Yun held the black lacquer basket tightly in her arms, but her eyes kept falling on her young lady.

As soon as she got on the carriage, the young lady closed her eyes to rest.

But that frown seemed to express his heavy thoughts.

Song Jinyue was just thinking, had the Xiang brothers arrived in Jiangnan now, or had they taken the bottle of white jade Guanyin and escaped?

I hope the two Xiang brothers will not disappoint her.

Calculating the pace of the horse, we can reach the south of the Yangtze River in the evening.

I just don’t know if the one from Jiangnan can leave immediately?

I want to come and see the letter sent to my brother Xiang. He must be unable to sit still in Jiangnan, right?

After all, the capital city is the place where that little grandmother wants to come back day and night.

Now that she was given the opportunity, and in the name of the Shen family, she hoped that the little grandmother from Jiangnan would never disappoint her.

The carriage stopped steadily in front of the Zhang Mansion, and Qiu Yun helped her young lady get out of the carriage.

The sky is getting dark, and lamps have been hung high in front of the Zhang Mansion.

Mrs. Liu, who was waiting at the door, saw Miss Cousin coming back. She hurriedly came forward with a smile and greeted her, and then replied: "The old lady has been talking about it for a long time. She is just waiting for Miss Cousin to come back and have dinner together. Now,

Madam is waiting in the main hall with the old lady."
