Red apricots make spring

Chapter 247
When Zhao Yan heard the gentle voice, and saw her polite gestures, a name suddenly appeared in her mind, her eyes widened involuntarily, her lips moved but she was speechless.

"Miss San recognized me?" Gentle smiled slightly, and then noticed that her hair was a little disheveled, and her clothes were dirty. She must have never washed properly on the road these days, so she couldn't help swallowing the old words, He just smiled and said: "I must be very tired after working so hard all the way. Why don't I ask someone to prepare fragrant soup, and the third girl will take a bath first, and then change into clean clothes, and then we will sit comfortably and have tea and talk."

Zhao Yan hesitated for a moment, after all, he didn't know what to call Wenrou, so he just nodded in the end, and followed Xiaorui very nervously.

When Zhao Yan walked away, Yun Dan took out two deeds from her arms and handed them to Rou Rou: "This one is Miss Zhao's deed of selling herself, and this one is the deed of the Zhao family's silk shop in Beijing. She stamps her fingerprints, and the shop will belong to her name."

Wen Rou took it, nodded and smiled: "I said why Ye Yu disappeared a few days ago. I asked others, and they all said they didn't know, and I was worried for a long time. It turned out that I went to Yuanchang with you. Why? Without saying a word?"

Yun Dan smiled and said: "We didn't make an appointment, we just ran into each other outside the city. He said he was going to collect the remains of his deceased father, and later I heard about Miss Zhao San, and wanted to go to Yuanchang to have a look. That’s how we go together.”

What she said reminded Ruan Rou of the time when she first met Ye Yu, she was very emotional, she bowed her head in silence for a while before asking, "Did you bring back the remains of his late father?"

Yun Dan nodded.

"In the future, you will help with the funeral and set the date for the coffin to be buried. Remember to tell me." In order for Ye Yu to gradually forget her feelings for her, Wenrou has not talked with him in private for a long time. Today, he will be relieved, and maybe they can restore their previous friendship.

Let's say that Zhao Yan took off his clothes at this moment and soaked in the moderately warm bath water, only then did he feel that his mood began to relax slowly.It's just that she never expected that the maid Ruhua who had been stared at in Zhao's residence in the past would appear in front of her in such a capacity now.The world is really impermanent, good fortune is subtle.

So, why did she find herself here?Zhao Yan shook her head slightly, no matter what the reason is, even just being a servant girl in this mansion is much better than being angry at home, or being sold to the Goulan for laughing.

When thinking of Gou Lan, naturally she can't forget Yun Dan and Ye Yu. For some reason, Yun Dan looks more handsome than Ye Yu, but she only feels her heart beat faster and her face turns red when she faces Ye Yu.Could this be fate...

Zhao Yan was thinking about her little daughter's embarrassment, when Xiao Rui asked outside: "Miss Zhao, the water is cold, do you need some hot water?"

"No need." Zhao Yan quickly refused, afraid that Xiaorui would see her blushing when she came in, but then remembered that she was no longer a girl from a wealthy family, and she was afraid that she would work with Xiaorui in the future, so she quickly thanked: "Sister Xiaorui... ...Thank you, if I need anything, I will call you again..."

"The girl is a guest, so there is no need to be so polite." Xiao Rui smiled, turned around and guarded the door.

guest?What a guest she is!The only thing left is that the family is ruined and the family is dead, just asking for a place to stay...

Zhao Yan thought, feeling sad again.

After she finished bathing, she picked up the clothes that Xiaorui had prepared for her, and felt soft to the touch. She couldn't help being surprised, but when she looked carefully at the clothes, it was actually made of high-quality silk and satin. Said: "Sister Xiaorui, are you afraid that you took the wrong clothes?"

Xiao Rui lifted the curtain outside, glanced at it, and said with a smile: "That's right! Before the girl came to the capital, Madam had it cut by someone. Try to see if it fits."

When she said this, Zhao Yan was even more at a loss. He couldn't figure out what Wenrou was thinking, so he changed into his clothes nervously, combed his hair, and followed Xiaorui to Wutong Pavilion where Wenrou lived.

Just after entering the door, I saw all kinds of pastries and fresh fruits on the table. Wen Rou sat alone at the table and looked down at the book. Hearing the sound of footsteps, he raised his head to see her, stood up and smiled and said, "The meal will be served in another hour. Thinking that you must be hungry right now, I have prepared some snacks, you can eat some to satisfy your hunger first."

"I..." Zhao Yan felt uneasy, hesitated for a while, and finally said: "Husband... man, if you have something to do, you should tell me directly..."

Wen Rou was slightly surprised, then cast a wink at Xiao Rui, motioning her to step back first, and then said with a smile: "Miss Zhao, you don't have to be so polite, just call my name Wen Wen."

gentle?Zhao Yan read it silently, thinking that this name sounds nice, but it is not what she can call now, and just about to speak, she just heard Ruan Wen continue: "I have something to ask the girl for help, since you have agreed, you can't turn around." shirk."

"Madam, just give orders..." Zhao Yan lowered her head.

Seeing that she didn't change her words, Rou Rou shook her head with a smile, picked up the two deeds in the book and handed them to her: "Please help me to accept this."

Zhao Yan took it in surprise, looked down, and said in surprise: "This is..."

"This is the girl's deed of sale and the deed of a silk shop that your family left in the capital. You take it away." Rourou said with a smile: "Girl, don't get me wrong, I invited you here just to try to get rid of it." Xinyi, I want to repay your mother's kindness to redeem me and leave the house. There is no other meaning. Right now, you can just live here with peace of mind, and you can talk about moving if you find a suitable place to stay."

"How can this be possible..." Zhao Yan shook his head, and said honestly, "My mother was only angry with Er Niang back then, so there was no kindness to speak of..."

She smiled softly and said: "I know this, but both of you mother and daughter never treated me badly back then, even if she was angry with Mrs. Li, she redeemed me comprehensively, after all, it is a kindness. Besides—" She paused for a moment, looking calmly at me. Looking at Zhao Yan, he said: "Tell the girl, your family has fallen into such a state, it has nothing to do with me and Xiaohuan, but this is your father's own fault, I have no regrets in my heart, I just hurt you, I am sorry."

Zhao Yan looked at Wen Rou in surprise, not knowing whether to hate her or not, then thought of Xiaohuan's experience, pushed her body, stood there for a while, finally sighed, wiped away tears and said: "My father really It's your own fault, my elder brother and second elder brother are not good people, even if it's not because of you, the Zhao family will fall sooner or later...Xiaohuan, is she alright?"

"Yeah. We're getting married soon." Rourou nodded and said, "Sister-in-law Liu is very happy these days."

"Sister-in-law Liu?!" Upon hearing this name, Zhao Yan felt complicated emotions in her heart, "Is sister-in-law Liu still alive? On the night when Xiaohuan's incident happened, I heard Mrs. Li quietly telling the housekeeper that she would bribe the jailer so that she would not be allowed to live." Get out of prison..."

"I didn't die, but I was exiled and suffered a lot." Thinking of these things, Wen Rou couldn't help but feel heavy, she shook her head and smiled: "Don't talk about these things, you should eat something." She said, Pushing a plate of crystal shrimp dumplings on the table towards Zhao Yan, he said, "I remember you used to like this."

"Hmm." Zhao Yan picked up a crystal shrimp dumpling with complicated emotions, brought it to his mouth and took a bite. After chewing for a long time, he sighed again: "My mother likes to eat this too. After you leave, Twice she mentioned you..."

Gentle and silent nodded.

Zhao Yan put down his chopsticks, thought for a while and handed back the deed of the silk and satin shop to Rou Rou: "You should take this shop back, I used to only know how to play the piano and write, I never paid attention to business matters, I don't even care about abacus If you don’t know how to fight, even if you hand over the shop to me, you won’t be able to maintain it. Besides, there’s no reason for a daughter to show up and stand at the counter..."

"You don't have to worry about this, I will find someone to take care of the shop for you, and you will be paid according to the monthly salary." Ruan Ruo refused to accept the contract, pondered for a moment and said: "It's just that I discussed with Yun Dan just now, and he said that he will take over soon There are many shops, the shopkeepers and accountants who can manage the work have been dispersed, and no suitable person can be found for the time being, so I have to ask a friend of mine to manage it for you for two days, and when I have a manpower, I will replace him."

Zhao Yan got up and bowed down with tears in her eyes when she heard the words, she wanted to thank Wen Rou for her fulfillment, Wen Rou hurriedly helped her up and said: "Miss, you are welcome, just stay here in Wutong Pavilion for a couple of days, and I will take you to the shop to have a look Look."
