my grandmother

Chapter 196 Letter

Li Xiaonan tried her best to overcome the sway in the carriage on the way home, wrote a letter in rough strokes, then went to Wangfu Bieye, and asked Wan Qing to borrow a silver key to seal the paint, Sealed it inside and out, and handed the letter to Wan Qing.

Gu Yan and the crown prince had just set off in the morning. The inspection was not a march, and the speed was not fast. The trip that day was not far from Pingjiang City. Around dinner, Gu Yan received this urgent letter from Bieye.

Gu Yan twirled the envelope, looking at the lacquered seals crookedly covering both sides of the envelope, she was speechless.

"Very cautious." The crown prince took the letter from Gu Yan, turned it over and looked at the lacquer seal, and couldn't help laughing, "This imprint seems to be the end of the world at this time, you agreed?"

"No, I asked her to teach spells and gave her a few silver locks." Gu Yan was a little embarrassed, feeling like he was suddenly exposed when he was disheveled.

"Oh." The crown prince slowly groaned, handed the letter to Gu Yan, watched Gu Yan tear open the envelope, and suddenly asked: "Should I avoid it?"

"It must be business." Gu Yan took out the letter paper and glanced at it, "It's business."

The prince immediately stretched his head over, and Gu Yan moved the letter towards the prince.

"Huang Xianzhou has a lot on her mind recently. I'm a little worried. I asked her to talk to Huang Xianzhou. She is very popular. Even Miss Shi is willing to tell her what's on her mind." Gu Yan explained a few words.

Li Xiaonan's letter was straightforward and simple. After the son was well, it meant that she went to visit Mr. Huang in the afternoon. Mr. Huang talked to her about the young lady who was on the side of the road to see General Yang when he was patrolling, and asked her Her three elder sisters are doing well, and she also asked their sisters if they are optimistic about others, and Mr. Huang's sigh that it is easy to adjudicate the case and difficult to deal with the aftermath, and the few words of instruction given to her, good and bad are always confused. .

"This little girl isn't afraid of you at all, is she? Why did Huang Xianzhou mention Yang Qifan's gossip? She didn't write it down. She asked the sisters if they liked him. She didn't write down what she answered." The prince glanced at Gu Yan sideways.

"Huang Xianzhou is still in the mood to gossip and the little lady looks at Yang Wu, so it's nothing to do." Gu Yan answered irrelevantly.

"Huang Xianzhou can know that the most difficult thing about this case is to deal with the aftermath. You have a good eye, this chaos." The prince tapped his finger on the letter paper, and sighed, "You arrange someone to look closely for a while, and see how he is in this chaos." How to deal with oneself in a group may be a person who can be of great use."

"Yeah." Gu Yan nodded.

"Huang Xianzhou didn't ask their sisters, he asked her, didn't her elder sister comb herself?" The prince returned to the topic just now.

"She also has a second elder sister waiting in her boudoir."

"She didn't write down how she answered, do you want someone to ask?" The prince looked at Gu Yan with a smile.

Gu Yan glanced at the prince, but did not answer.

"If you resigned after you came to Jiangnan, I would definitely think that you resigned because of her. Unfortunately, you resigned before you came to Jiangnan." The prince continued with a smile.

"I haven't thought about it yet." After a moment of silence, Gu Yan looked at the prince and said.

The prince was stunned for a while, and then asked: "What do you mean by this, do you really plan to marry her?"

"I haven't thought about it. In the past two years, I have devoted myself to the matter of the Sea Taxation Department. Besides, she is only 16 years old this year." After a pause, Gu Yan looked at the prince and said: "She can afford Prince Rui responsibility."

The crown prince looked at Gu Yan for a while, "You and I are the only ones who know what you're thinking?"

"Well, you asked, I have to say." Gu Yan spread his hands and said.

"Then just pretend I don't know, and handle your own affairs." The prince took a step aside.

"At most, it's just my aunt. This is a matter for the future. Right now, I will do my best to clean up the mess of the customs department." Gu Yan laughed.

"There's that little girl too." The prince paused for a moment, then suddenly laughed, and patted Gu Yan while laughing, "You have to think about it, just read this letter, this little girl is not afraid at all." You, when the time comes, there will be your aunt on one side, and this little girl on the other, the splint gas will be very uncomfortable."

"Let's talk about it after the customs department is sorted out." Gu Yan folded up the letter and put it back in the envelope.

....................................

In a restaurant not far from the Pingjiang government office, Ping Yatou and Yu Dalang came out one after the other.

Ping Yatou stopped, looked at the pale-faced Yu Dalang, raised his hand and patted him, "Don't think too much, your cloth shop has only been open for a few months, so you won't be involved, so relax."

"Yes, I think so too." Yu Dalang wanted to smile, but he couldn't.

"Why are you going back? You don't look good, don't go back, call a taxi." Ping Yatou beckoned a cart to solicit customers, motioned Yu Dalang to get on the cart, and wrapped the mulberry paper in his hand Put it on the car, take a step back, and signal the driver to leave quickly.

Yu Dalang returned home, took the mulberry paper bag, and went straight to find his mother.

"Come back so soon? Why did you bring it back again? Didn't you see Ping Yatou?" Yu Aniang asked, looking at the mulberry paper bag in Yu Dalang's hand, frowning.

"I saw it, we had dinner together, Ping Yatou confiscated it."

Yu Dalang put down the mulberry paper bag, looked at his aunt, and said, "Ping Yatou said that those who pass orders to and from their yamen are all soldiers from Linhai Town, and they are all foreigners. They can only understand official Chinese, not our Pingjiang dialect. .

"Ping Yatou said that the most important thing for their government office now is the errands from Linhai Town.

"It is said that the first time people came back, they were asked to take them with them. They hurriedly asked Mrs. Liu for instructions. Unexpectedly, Mrs. Liu lost his temper and asked for instructions if he said that he should go to work quickly. From that day on, everyone in Linhai For the errands that came from the town, they rushed to deal with them first, and then reported to Liu Fuyin.

"Ping Yatou said that almost all the shopkeepers of the weaving workshops in the silk shop in Pingjiang City were taken away, and few of them were able to come back.

"Ping Yatou also said that more than half of the people in their yamen's money and food were taken away, saying that his master Hong Laoyatou was also taken away.

"Auntie!"

Yu Dalang finished the information he got from Ping Yatou in one breath, looked at his mother, trembling all over.

"Don't panic. Our fine cloth business has just started. Besides, we don't go to Linhai Town to sell goods. It's definitely fine. Don't panic."

Although Yu Aniang's face was pale, she could still hold on.

"Besides, we've come to this point, there's nothing we can do. We've never done anything harmful to nature, and nothing will happen. You can go back and rest."

"Okay." Yu Dalang stood up, leaning on the arm of the chair, with his head down and his shoulders down, and he moved back into his room step by step.

"You're back, are you okay? Aunt Miao came over just now, let us rest assured that the Yueyang Cloth Village is still open, as long as the Yueyang Cloth Village is still open, then everything will be fine." Grandma Wu greeted her , said with a smile.

"She's a matchmaker, she knows nothing!" Yu Dalang suddenly became furious, "It's all you! You prodigal! This fine cloth business is all your idea! You prodigal! Get out!" Yu Dalang pushed Wu away violently. Grandma.

Grandma Wu was pushed so hard that she slammed into the low couch, she burst into tears from the pain, but she didn't dare to say a word.
