Chapter 191 Make up a story
Because Yuxiu had already helped to arrange everything, the Cui family just had to move in with their bags, which was very convenient.
Cui was about to give birth, so a room was arranged for Old Mrs. Cui in the Xu family, so that the mother and daughter could chat and rest at night.
Since it hasn't snowed yet, Yuxiu decided to take Qingdai out for a walk on the street to see the customs and culture of the capital.
"Miss, someone just sent this post over."
Unexpectedly, as soon as I reached the door, Yu Guifu came trotting in with a post in his hand.
Yuxiu was a little curious. She had been in the capital for such a long time and seldom interacted with people from outside. Usually, if someone came, they would hand the invitation to Cui or Xu Qinghe, the male host.
Wen Wanwan came here quite often, but she never sent any invitations. She always just came here with people.
In addition, a lot of things have happened in the Wen family recently, and Wen Wanwan doesn't have any extra time to come out and play with her.
There was no name written on the post, it just said that she was invited to the Zhuangyuan Teahouse for a chat.
If it happened to someone else, they would not dare to accept the invitation without any context. However, Yuxiu was not afraid of this. She had to go out anyway, and the Zhuangyuan Teahouse mentioned in the post was just two blocks away from her home.
Yuxiu had also been there once. Although the location was not very conspicuous, they mainly served large households, and the most important thing was to have a good environment and good service, so the business was also very good.
"Ms. Xu, please come this way."
As soon as Yuxiu got off the carriage, a fair-skinned young boy ran over. Although he looked dressed very casually, Yuxiu recognized him at the first sight.
That night when she broke into the palace to deliver a message to Qi Siyuan, the young man was waiting outside Qi Siyuan's study.
In that case, the person waiting for her in the teahouse was probably the current crown prince Qi Siyuan.
"This must be Miss Xu, right? I have heard of your name for a long time, and today I am finally able to meet you in person."
Yuxiu was invited into the house, and a young man in brocade clothes came over with a smile to greet her.
"Miss Xu, this is my cousin, Song Yiheng, the eldest son of General Song's family."
Seeing that Yuxiu just smiled and didn't say anything, Qi Siyuan thought that she might not know Song Yiheng, so he hurried over to introduce her.
"Hello, Mr. Song."
Yuxiu nodded, bowed with a smile, and saluted Prince Qi Siyuan.
This is also the reason why Yuxiu generally doesn't like to go out and socialize with people. The main reason is that the capital city is full of officials of all sizes. If you go shopping on the street, you will either meet someone's wife or see someone's son or daughter.
Anyway, the Xu family has no officials or ranks now, so any person picked out has a higher status than her family.
If Cui hadn't occupied the identity of a disciple of the Divine Doctor's Sect, it would not have been so easy for her family to live in peace and stability in the capital.
"Miss Xu, you don't have to be so polite. Please take a seat."
Qi Siyuan made a gesture to Yuxiu to invite her in and sat down at the table.
"I heard that the technology for building a kang was invented by your Xu family?"
As soon as they sat down, Song Yiheng couldn't wait to ask, leaving Yuxiu speechless.
The news of the heated kang had long been a hot topic in the capital, and the government also sent people to several northern prefectures to teach this technology.
There was no concealment in things like this, and Yuxiu could never believe that these people were unaware of the specific circumstances.
"It is indeed something my father discovered by chance. I wonder if Mr. Song has any advice for me?"
Yuxiu smiled faintly, not quite sure why these two people had found her.
"Tsk tsk tsk, that heated kang is really great, it saves trouble, is clean, and can heat up the kang while cooking a meal. Uncle Xu is really smart!"
Song Yiheng praised her sincerely. Yuxiu laughed secretly in her heart. Although her cheap father was not stupid, this method was really not something he could have thought of.
"That's right, Miss Xu."
Yuxiu and Song Yiheng chatted and laughed for a while, then Qi Siyuan coughed lightly, looked at Yuxiu and asked:
"We happened to pass by yesterday and found that the workers who built the kang were all riding horses. I wonder where those horses came from?"
After hearing this, Yuxiu's heart skipped a beat, thinking that they might have discovered something.
Most of these horses were brought out from the mountain village by Yuxiu that day, and some were grown-up ponies bred in the horse space.
"I wonder what your Highness the Crown Prince means by this?"
Yuxiu frowned and looked straight at Qi Siyuan, without directly answering his question.
There was no name engraved on the horse. Since she had a way to get it out, it must belong to her Xu family.
"I don't have any other intentions. I just saw that those horses all had steady gaits, shiny fur, and firm eyes. They were all rare and good horses, so I wanted to find out where they came from."
Qi Siyuan had no intention of hiding anything and directly asked the questions in his heart.
Song Yiheng was also nodding vigorously, somewhat displeased that his cousin was being too tactful. Afraid that Yuxiu didn't understand what they meant, he quickly helped to make his words clear.
"My cousin is right. If possible, please ask Miss Xu to help us get some back. Don't worry, we will trade according to the rules and will not let you down even a penny."
After hearing this, Yuxiu finally understood what was going on. It turned out that these two men were interested in the horses on her farm.
But it's true, those horses have drunk a lot of spiritual spring water, although it has been diluted later, they were raised in the space and grew up naturally, and they looked much more agile than the ordinary horses outside.
"You two may have already figured out the situation in our family, so I will tell you the truth."
Yuxiu knew that people would investigate her family's situation in secret. Besides, those were things her family could show to others, so she could make use of them.
"When we lived in the countryside in the early years, my mother accidentally helped Dr. Yang from the Divine Doctor Sect. To thank my mother and seeing that she had some talent in medicine, Dr. Yang accepted her as his last disciple. However, he made one request, which was that my mother was not allowed to show off her medical skills unless it was absolutely necessary. So we pretended that nothing had happened and continued to work from sunrise to sunset with our family..."
Yuxiu told the story slowly. Instead of letting people speculate about these things behind her back, she decided to make up a story and tell it herself.
"Of course, our master never told us where the Divine Doctor Sect is, and we haven't seen him for several years. These horses were sent here by people from the Divine Doctor Sect."
