"The girl comes from a small family and can't afford to be frightened." Mrs. Shi said "understanding", "She won't go there anymore, so as to save everyone else trouble and she will be frightened!"
"That's right, it will save you a lot of trouble." Liu Qier actually felt a little uneasy, because Xu Yong had come a few days ago and had already severely taught the servants in the house, including the two girls.
It¡¯s just that Liu Qi¡¯er is still thinking about Mrs. Shi¡¯s ¡°Great Secret Medicine¡±, and the couple usually do small favors in the house and win over all the servants in the house, so they are somewhat confident.
"If Xu Yong hadn't asked questions separately this time and asked particularly tricky questions, there would have been no leaks.
"But Xu Yong can't squat in the house every day. As soon as he leaves, Liu Qi'er will be as cute as ever. Yourong was even more dissatisfied with Xu Yong's "rectification". She and Pan Cheng'an had been hooking up since they were inseparable. How could they be subject to such restrictions when they were inseparable. Therefore, Liu Qier and his wife were encouraged to continue to associate with Mrs. Shi.
Mrs. Shi chatted with Liu Qi'er for some time. Seeing that it was almost time, Liu Qi'er went out for a walk and came back and waved to Mrs. Shi.
Mrs. Shi understood and immediately got up and followed Liu Qi'er through the backyard and entered through the corner door. Inside was a small patio, which was the patio of the north wing of the east wing. From here, you can directly enter the habitable east wing without passing through the courtyard gate and yard, and you will not disturb Yui who lives in the west wing.
The wing room is more secluded and quiet than the wing room that is fully exposed in the courtyard, so it is often used as a bedroom or small study. This is Yui's "little study".
Naturally, Yui does not study or write here, and Zhou Newton is not old enough to study either. This "little study" is where she specializes in talking to herself and storing important things.
Mrs. Shi came in and blessed her first, with a smile on her face and said: "Hello, girl!"
"Hello, Mom!" Yourong also smiled when he saw her, "Mom, sit down." After saying this, he sent tea.
"I've already drank it in Sister Liu's house. Miss, don't bother." Mrs. Shi thanked her, sat down and said, "Last time, I asked for some medicine to replenish qi and nourish blood. I brought it here." Take out the medicine packet from the baggage.
Liu Qi'er was an old man and knew that they wanted to speak from the bottom of their hearts, so he quickly retreated and closed the door.
You Rongyou was worried. Hearing the sound of the corner door outside, he got up and opened the door to take a look. He saw that the corner door in the backyard had been closed. Then he retracted his body, closed the door and bolted it. He returned to Granny Shi and did not distinguish between the host and the guest. Zun humble, he sat down next to her and asked: "What news does Uncle Pan have?"
Seeing that she was anxious, Mrs. Shi couldn't help but smile to herself. But he deliberately whetted her appetite and said leisurely: "There is no news" Seeing Yourong's disappointed expression, he added, "There is a letter." After that, he took out a letter from his baggage. .
Yourong was overjoyed and hurriedly took the letter and opened it to read. She was born in Yangzhou Shouma. Although her talents were limited and she had no ability to recite poems correctly, she was good at reading and writing. When I took out the letter paper, I felt a quiet fragrance, which was the usual study incense used by wealthy families.
She has been familiar with this incense since she was a child. Ever since she arrived at Master Zhou's place, Master Zhou has been vulgar and uncultured. He has none of these elegant and interesting things in the study, but has added a lot of messy things. What you learned through hearing and seeing was of no use at all.
At this moment, smelling this familiar aroma, I felt a mixture of emotions. I was stunned for a moment.
Seeing that she was in a daze, Mrs. Shi quickly reminded her, "Girl, read the letter."
It was only then that Yourong realized that he had lost his composure, and his face became slightly warm. I quickly opened the letter and found a piece of Shizhuzhai note. This note was not from the local Nanzhi shop, but a "private note" from Jiangnan. It was made of good materials and exquisitely made, and it was most elegant and fresh.
¡°This Mr. Pan is not only rich, but also extremely elegant.
Yourong's heart beat violently. Originally, her affair with Pan Cheng'an was just to comfort her loneliness. But gradually, she began to have a secret love for her.
There was a beautiful calligraphy on the letterhead. This was the first time Yourong received a letter from Pan Chengan. She was discerning and saw that although the calligraphy was a bit crafty, she could tell that a lot of effort had been put into it. I couldn't help but secretly approve.
There is no title on the letter and no signature at the bottom. It looks very careful. The content inside is nothing special. It is just a confession of the pain of lovesickness. I didn¡¯t deliberately drag out the text to show off my literary talent. There were only a few words, simple and plain, but they revealed all kinds of affection and aroused her emotions.
The moment willAfter receiving the letter, he whispered: "Thank you, Mom."
"Where are the words?" Mrs. Shi was a veteran for many years. Seeing her expression, she knew that she was 90% sure, and said, "Uncle Pan said that there are some words in the letter that are inconvenient to be written. I just sent a verbal message, saying that he misses you. "Come on, now I don't think about food or tea, I just want to meet the girl again" As he said that, he took out a small box from the bag and stuffed it into her hand. Whispered:
"This is what Uncle Pan gave you! He dare not give anything that is too conspicuous for fear of causing trouble for you. These are a pair of Australian seawater pearl earrings. They are the most precious, but they are inconspicuous when worn."
Yourong opened the mother-of-pearl box. Inside was a pair of pink pearl earrings. The style was simple yet exquisite. The light pink pearls were not big, but they were full of brilliance.
Yourong has seen a lot of good things, but this was the first time he saw such a beautiful pearl, and he was stunned.
This is not "inconspicuous" at all, it is simply dazzling!
Not to mention the gold material used in the earrings, this pair of pink walking beads would cost at least several hundred taels of silver in the Jingshi Jewelry Store.
Thinking of Mr. Zhou, I had served him all these years, and even bore him a son in name, so he was considered a "meritorious minister". Except for a box of jewelery that Mr. Wang had given as a "dowry" when he came, he had never given him a piece of jewellery.
Although Mr. Zhou has made many interesting and useful gadgets, these are just toys or household items.
Yourong sighed and said, "This gift is too expensive." After saying that, he hesitated.
Mrs. Shi accepted Pan Chengan's money and whispered: "This little thing is nothing. I heard that Uncle Pan is a child of a wealthy family in the south of the Yangtze River, and his family has countless wealth"
"That's right, he is from Jiangnan. He has been in the capital for a year and a half, but he can't go back the same way?" Yourong couldn't help but sigh.
Mrs. Shi smiled slyly: "Does the girl want to be a long-term couple?"
It was only then that Yourong realized that she had let slip something. She quickly said, "You're going to die! What the hell are you talking about!" After saying that, he quickly stuffed the box into her hand, "If you talk nonsense like this, don't do it again in the future!"
Mrs. Shi chuckled and said, "My old lady deserves to be beaten because she talks too much! She deserves to be beaten!" After that, she lightly slapped herself twice in the mouth. But he still put the jewelry box on the Kang table and said, "This is Master Pan's wish. Let me keep it for you to think about. Master Pan will not be able to stay in the capital for too long"
This sentence touched Yourong's mood, and he quickly asked: "What? Is he going back to the south?"
"Yes, he is originally from Jiangnan. He came to the capital to broaden his horizons. As the girl said, he is not allowed to go back after a year and a half?"
"How" Yourong was anxious, and his heart was in a mess for a while. There was reluctance, regret, and an indescribable state of mind, as if it was just a dream.
"Why are you coming back so soon?"
"My good girl!" Mrs. Shi said, clapped her legs, "Uncle Pan has been in the capital for more than a year. He was originally going to go back to the south last autumn, but the ice came in early and the canal boats couldn't sail, so he was delayed until now. Now. Seeing as the river freezes in March, he will naturally want to go back."
He looked speechless, feeling lost for a moment.
Seeing that the heat was coming, Mrs. Shi whispered: "Uncle Pan can't let go of the girl the most. He wants to say goodbye to her, but she doesn't know"
Having said that, I watched Yourong.
Yourong bit the handkerchief in his mouth unconsciously and hesitated for a long time before saying: "It's just that the mansion is not as good as before"
"Is it that little brat?"
"Yes, he is my master's apprentice's follower. He was originally a loser," Yourong said bitterly, "but now this apprentice is very respectable in front of Mr. Wang, and he has also started to act arrogantly. A few days ago Come here, he finally cared about this little bit of affection and saved a bit of face, otherwise, he would probably have to drag Yui and I out to listen to the reprimand!"
"That's it." Mrs. Shi pretended to be disappointed, "If that's the case, just don't go. Uncle Pan said, the girl should be careful and don't take risks easily"
Yourong didn't answer, and thought for a moment and said, "Where should Uncle Pan meet, or Ganlu Temple?"
"Yes." Mrs. Shi saw the determination in her eyes and knew that she had made up her mind. She was secretly happy in her heart and said softly, "It will take at least a month before the river freezes."
"Yes, you come back in three days." Yourong whispered, "I will naturally find a way to come out by then."
"Yes." Mrs. Shi was overjoyed, "I'll go talk to Uncle Pan right away. Do you need to make any preparations?"
"You tell Uncle Pan" Yourong gave a few instructions. Mrs. Shi nodded repeatedly and said, "I'll save you the trouble!" After saying that, she was about to leave, and Yourong stopped her:
"Last time I asked you if you wanted medicine?"
"Look at my memory!" Granny Shi smiled, "I brought them all and forgot about them."
She took out a small bottle from her bag and muttered: "Take one pill of this beforehand, one pill immediately afterwards, and another pill the next day for three days. I'm sure it won't cause any problems."
"If something happens, you can kill me!" Yourong spat.
"Don't worry, girl, there are hundreds if not thousands of people who have taken this medicine, and they have never been in trouble!" Mrs. Shi said with a smile, "I only regret that I didn't get this good prescription when I was young"p; "Last time I asked you if you wanted medicine?"
