win the hairpin

Chapter 305
Aunt Lin was skillful and folded it into a gold ingot in a few strokes. There were several strings nailed to the case beside her, including ingots and zizi, interlaced with gold and silver, and decorated with colored paper tassels underneath.

Tan Ran's hands are clumsy, his fingers are thick, and the gold foil paper is almost pitiful in his hands. When an ingot is folded out, he feels a bit wronged, as if he has been trampled on by him.

He also neatly put away his own stack, and sat with Aunt Lin, not saying a word, but showing a touch of warmth.

Seeing Song Huiyue came back, the two raised their heads at the same time. Aunt Lin folded the gold foil paper in her hand, clapped her hands and stood up: "Madam is back, you are hungry, I steamed the candied lotus root, heat it up You can eat it, and the soup is still hot, and you can sleep after eating."

She called Tan Ran again: "Hurry up and boil the water!"

Tan Ran nodded, went to bolt the door first, put the ingots in the basket, carried them back to the corridor, and rushed to the kitchen to boil water.

Aunt Lin thought that Song Huiyue needed to eat, drink, wash and change clothes, she didn't know what to do for a while, she circled around Song Huiyue, trying to imagine that Song Huiyue was taking good care of Song Huiyue like she was when Mrs. Song was there appropriate.

However, she was alone and couldn't match the desertedness at home. Song Huiyue smiled and asked her to heat candied lotus root, and went back to the house to change her clothes. When Tan Ran scooped up hot water, she cleaned her face and hands, and went out to eat.

The food outside tends to be cold, so Tan Ran moved the table to the kitchen. Aunt Lin brought her two steamed rolls, a plate of candied lotus root, mutton bone soup, and eggplant: "You have to put away your summer clothes. I’m afraid you won’t be able to wear the ones from last autumn, I see that you are not too tall, I will measure you after you finish eating, and go to the shop and ask a tailor to make you some clothes, and you will do the outside ones.”

Cheng Qinbing ate half of the candied lotus root: "Okay."

Cheng Qinbing sat under the threshold and continued to fold ingots: "Tomorrow, you should go out later, you want to burn less ingots for the wife, and the wife's spirit card has to be brought to the main house."

Cheng Qinbing hummed, finished his meal amidst Song Huiyue's nagging, got up and went outside the house to ask Song Huiyue to measure your length.

Song Huiyue made gestures for a while, then said with a smile, "You are low, go and pack up last year's clothes and make room for a box."

"I'm busy," Mrs. Song pulled you to sit at the table, "You have nothing to say to you."

Song Huiyue sat down quickly, waiting for you to arrange yourself.

Mrs. Song got up and opened a camphor wood box outside the house, took out a stack of banknotes from outside, tore a piece of bamboo paper, rolled it into a roll, tied it with a hair tie, went back to the table and sat down, stuffed it into Cheng Qinbing Watch: "Auntie, that watch shouldn't cost more than one thousand taels, you take it."

"What!" Song Huiyue threw the roll of banknotes back into Mrs. Song's hands as if burning her hands, "You want it! You want it! Don't give it to you!"

You jumped up from under the chair and waved your hands: "Don't give it to you..."

Cheng Qinbing put down the banknote and pushed you back out of the chair: "Sit down, you still have to finish your sentence, he will listen to you."

Cheng Qinbing had to sit back, his buttocks dared to fill up, and he only sat on a small chair: "You say."

"Auntie, you know whether he has any ideas or not. He listens to Auntie's arrangements for everything. Now that Auntie is here, you can ask me to make arrangements. Although Tan Ran is an honest person, he definitely wants to marry me."

Song Huiyue blushed immediately: "What are you talking about? You are a concubine of the Song family, how can you marry someone else? You are worried. My wife is here, and you will serve you for the rest of my life."

Mrs. Song shook her head: "You mean to let you stick around there. You mean that if Tan Ran does long-term work for him, he will give me seven taels of silver a month, and I will do all the work for him. If he marries Me, I have to spend my own money, and I have to work by myself, so I want to marry."

Song Huiyue heard that you are very old, and what you said is logical. Although it is not a bit funny, I also think what you said is unreasonable.

"Yes, you listen to you."

Mrs. Song said again: "He will keep the money first, and you will give it to him for no reason, and if you give it to him, you will be gone. You have nothing to entrust to him."

"You say."

"Your aunt was buried in Kyoto, but she lived in Tanzhou for so many years. You want him to take your aunt's tablet and go to Tanzhou to collect her footprints."

Song Huiyue said in a daze: "You're still a careless little lady. You never imagined that Tanzhou Mountain is low and the road is far away. How can my wife walk there alone?"

The dead will take back their footprints where they once walked. When Song Huiyue thought of Aunt Lin, tears immediately burst out, and there was no sign of breaking the embankment.

Cheng Qinbing has time to comfort you, but continues to explain: "He is a man, it is convenient to go out here, you let Tan Ran go with him, and he will give me the monthly silver as usual, and it will be enough to support me for a lifetime .”

Song Huiyue cried and trembled: "You know, when you arrive in Tanzhou, you will take your wife to Lushan Temple and set up a spiritual tablet for your wife outside the temple to pray for your wife. You must be worried."

Mrs. Song smiled: "That's good. He came back slowly when he arrived in Tanzhou, and took Auntie to have a good look. Auntie likes the tea in Meishan County, so he will go too."

Song Huiyue nodded again and again: "You go after the Mid-Autumn Festival."

"Let's go tomorrow," Mrs. Song said calmly, "You've got that thing on your mind. If he's going, you have to go in person, but Qinghui is still there, so you can take it to heart."

Song Huiyue thought about it, and the little lady said that the wind was very rainy, and she could wait for half a month, she immediately put away her tears and wiped her nose: "Then you go and ask Tan Ran to pack up. Madame burns a bundle, and lights a glazed lamp to the pier."

Before that, you thought for a moment: "You go and call Yuan Yuan back, you are gone, who will serve you?"

"Yes, and you have hands and feet. You order food from outside the restaurant, and send your clothes to Mrs. Jiang on the corner to be washed. I am worried about you. You have no claim."

"You must take care of yourself. You will write the size of the clothes for you, and you can take them outside the shop."

Song Huiyue remembered that there were still a few trivial things to do, and those things occupied your young mind, allowing you to explore the strangeness of Mrs. Song's account in time.

You hurriedly called Cheng Qin, Tan Ran learned that he was going to Tanzhou, so he hurriedly found out the linoleum cloth to cover the pile of firewood, and saw that there was enough water outside the water tank, he went to fill the water tank overnight, and gave it to the incense shop next door The buddy asked me to pick up a bucket of water and put it at the door every day with a handful of copper coins.

Tan Ran and Song Huiyue cleaned up separately. When the bell of Xiangguo Temple rang on the seventh day, the eight of them set up an altar outside the yard, lit joss sticks, offered some fruits, burned the gold and silver bundles behind the table, and lit the altar. The glazed lamp, holding Aunt Lin's tablet, was sent all the way to the passenger ship at the pier.

Mrs. Song sent Song Huiyue and Tan Ran away, and walked to Zhouqiao alone.

The shadows of the trees on both sides whirled, a few crows howled under the trees, the thick clouds in the sky dispersed, the sky was not yet blue, and it would soon be dawn.

The moonlight gradually faded, and the blue light shrouded Mrs. Song, casting a long shadow under you. You walked with your head down, shivering as if it was very hot, and your whole body didn't tremble at all.

You walked very slowly, walked all the way outside the tailor shop, handed over the silver, made eight clothes, and then walked to Zhang's house.
