I was a little surprised, who would give me such a thing?

I took the box from Qingqian, weighed it, and found it was quite heavy. When I opened it, it was a box full of golden bars.

Under the first layer of gold bars was a fine silk handkerchief, and on the handkerchief were written a few small characters with hairpin flowers: Wen Er is newly married, and a special gift of gold is congratulated.

The lower right corner of the handkerchief is also embroidered with the name of the owner of the handkerchief - Mancao.

I couldn't help but bend my lips, my close friend in the boudoir is really simple and rough sometimes.

However, I like it.

"Miss, there is another letter from that girl." Qingqian took out an envelope from her sleeve.

After I read the letter, it was indeed sent by Mancao. In the letter, she asked me to meet at Jinhua Tower in three days.

I immediately asked Qingqian to prepare the pen, ink, paper and inkstone, and wrote the reply.After sealing the letter, hand it over to Qingqian.

"Miss, where should I send this letter?"

I thought about it, and said, "No. 17 Huai'an Lane, Gu's house."

The author has something to say: Mou Chen: Did you really forget?

A black household: Actually, it’s because someone talks a lot when drunk, and he’s very good-looking, so he can be rubbed by others v●

Wo Tong: What did you do to me??

Chapter 21

In the early morning of the next day, my grandmother specially sent someone to tell me that today's greetings will be skipped because of my pity that I was exhausted yesterday, and there is no need for her to send someone to Mu's side to say goodbye.

I simply slept until noon, until the lunch from Jinhua Building arrived, and I felt hungry, so I called Qingqian in to help me wash and change my clothes.

Today, Jinhualou sent my favorite lotus leaf chicken, so I added half a bowl of rice.

After lunch, I ordered Qingqian to bring over the remaining ledgers I read yesterday, and I will continue to read. I have read more than half of the forty or fifty ledgers. I will rush to work in the next two days, and I should be able to summon those in charge again tomorrow afternoon. Read it all beforehand.

Also let me have a general understanding of their respective abilities to facilitate the next work.

Looking at it, I watched it for more than two hours.Due to staying in the same posture for too long, I felt that my neck and back were a little stiff, and I was about to stand up and relax my muscles and bones, when Qingqian walked in and blessed me, saying: "Miss, Aunt Xue ask to see."

Aunt Xue? I was stunned for a moment before I remembered, isn’t this the biological mother of Chen Luo’s eldest son, Chen Yan?

"Did she say what it was for?" I asked.

Qingqian shook her head: "No, but... Aunt Xue's complexion doesn't look very good."

"Well, take me there."

It was not until I met Aunt Xue in the reception hall that I realized how euphemistic that Qingqian's expression was not looking good.

It's not just that he doesn't look good, I look at it, it's just... the look of being exhausted.

I sat on the main seat and looked down at Aunt Xue who was saluting to me. Her complexion was sallow and even a little black, her eyes were deeply sunken, and her jaw was so thin that I could hardly bear to look at her...

I remember that when I saw her a few days ago, although she was a little haggard between her brows, she was not so haggard, girl, what happened to you these few days?

I winked, and Qingqian immediately helped Aunt Xue up.

"Cough, Aunt Xue, are you sick? Do you want me to call a doctor for you?" I expressed my concern for her.

This concern is somewhat sincere, after all, anyone who sees a flowery beauty suddenly becomes like this will feel a little bit of pity.

"Thank you Madam for your kindness, I appreciate it." Aunt Xue knelt down again.

I waved my hand with some headache: "You are not in good health, so don't kneel."

Aunt Xue didn't move, she still fell on the ground and maintained her kneeling posture: "Madam is kind, but I know my body well, and my time...is numbered."

"How did this happen? You, weren't you fine a few days ago?"

"My concubine has been ill since the beginning of autumn last year. I have invited countless doctors, but they all said that it was wind evil entering the body. She has been drinking medicine, but she has not been well. Don't be afraid of my wife's jokes. I don't know if I don't apply powder now. Dare to see people. During the snowy night two days ago, my concubine's condition worsened again, and my concubine... feared that I wouldn't be able to survive this winter, so I dared to ask my wife for a favor."

It just occurred to me that when I met those aunts and concubines a few days ago, Aunt Xue's makeup was really heavy, I didn't pay much attention to it at the time, but now that I think about it, it should be to cover up her haggard face.

"Tell me, I will try my best to satisfy you."

Aunt Xue gave me another head-bump before saying: "Mrs. Xie, I know that time is short, I just want to see the young master again for the last time. I haven't seen him for three years. I really miss him very much. If , if... this is also the last time between the concubine and the young master, I hope Madam will be happy."

At the end of Aunt Xue's speech, she was almost crying.

I also know a little about Chen Yan. He is six years old this year. He was sent to a private school in the capital by Chen Luo three years ago to be enlightened. Every year when Chen Luo goes to Beijing, he will visit him several times. Speaking of which, it has been several years. Back to Tianshui Villa.

I pondered for a while, and then said: "I will bring this matter up with my husband, but I can't say it to death. I don't want to get too involved in Yan'er's matter. Whether this matter can be accomplished depends mainly on him." ."

"Thank you Madam for your kindness. If there is an afterlife, the concubine will repay you with a straw title."

"Get up." I said indifferently.

Only then did Aunt Xue agree to get up, and Qingqian helped her to sit down.

"The tea is cold, make another cup for Aunt Xue."

"Yes." Qingqian took the order to retreat.

So, only Aunt Xue and I were left in the side hall.

"Ma'am..." Aunt Xue seemed a little hesitant.

"What else?"

Aunt Xue managed to force a smile, and said: "Ma'am, I have a few words that are beyond the norm, and I don't know if I should say it or not."

I took a sip of tea and said, "Say it."

"Madam, this concubine can see that Mr. Lang really loves his wife. The people around Mr. Mr. Zhao are already dying. Although Aunt Zhao has a bit of face, she is simple-minded and nothing to worry about. Mrs. Mo and Mrs. Yang Madam will not pay attention to it, there is only one person, Madam needs to pay more attention."

"Zhao Fen, the big maid beside Langjun, has been rumored in the backyard, saying that Miss Zhao Fen will definitely be raised as an aunt in the future. Even with how much Langjun loves Miss Zhao Fen, even Xu Yigui's concubine may not be impossible. , For more than four years, Mr. Lang has only had Miss Zhao Fen by his side, presumably because of some affection... Madam, a concubine, a half-body who has fallen into the yellow earth, will definitely not harm Madam, by Mrs. Lang's side Everyone is nothing to be afraid of, but this girl Zhao Fen, my wife has to guard against it."

When Aunt Xue was talking, I kept paying attention to her. Her words were sincere, her expression was sincere, and she looked quite sincere.

Maybe it's because of my kindness, I'm sorry, and I want to mention something to me.

However, this news is really useless to me. Man said that I am not sure whether there is really anything between Chen Luo and this Zhao fan, and even if there is, I am happy to see it come true.

"Well, I know it well, and there is no need to talk about this matter."

***

After seeing Aunt Xue off, I went to the study to meet Chen Luo.

Wei Zishou stood outside the study, and when he saw me coming, he clasped his fists to greet me: "Madam is here to look for the owner of the villa? The owner of the villa has ordered that if Madam comes, you can enter directly."

I nodded, pushed the door open and walked in.

The light in the study was slightly dim, and I walked to the desk where Chen Luo used to handle letters, but I didn't see him.

I thought he went to get the books from the bookshelf, but I searched all over the study...but I couldn't find it.
