Chu Weilin put down the tea cup in her hand and said strangely: "It's still on?" ”

Li De'an's family nodded: "Yes, don't talk about grandma's accident, my uncle was stunned when she heard about it." ”

can make the gambling house take action to beat people to death, it can be seen that the amount of gambling money owed by Liang Qian is not small, and the widow Yue is a woman, if she has the silver in hand, she will take it out a long time ago, so as not to wait until Liang Qian dies.

But if there is no money, then where does the money come from?

Li De'an's family pondered the words before saying: "Grandma, there are many rights and wrongs in front of the widow's door, and because of this matter, a lot of rumors have been added, and some of them have dirty ears, but they are rumors, and I have not seen them with my own eyes. ”

Chu Weilin understood.

In Haizhou, I am afraid that the silver is regarded as the silver of the gold lord of the widow Yue.

If it weren't for the gold owner, where would the widow Yue get the money to pay back?

The world loves to arrange, even if there is no silver, a young and beautiful widow like Widow Yue will cause a lot of gossip, not to mention the silver? Beauty and silver are connected together, and it will always make some people think about it.

It's just the truth of the matter, although Chu Weilin can't guess the source of the silver, but he can't assert that Widow Yue's silver is that kind of way.

Li De'an's family said in a suppressed voice: "My uncle said that she had dealt with Widow Yue, and she only felt that this widow did not speak and act like an ordinary woman in the market, but she was not a lady, and there was a natural style in her gestures. The uncle's wife felt that this widow was pitiful, she had no husband at a young age, and it was not easy for a woman to live. ”

In addition to these rumors. Widow Yue is still mysterious.

Because it was almost the end of the year, Xue Cai helped Chang Yuyun collect accounts from Zhuangzi everywhere, and he was so busy that his feet did not touch the ground, and he was not in Jinzhou for seven or eight days in ten days, and the Xue family breathed a sigh of relief, and they were embarrassed to be cheeky to talk to Chu Weilin about this matter again, so they pressed it for the time being.

At the beginning of November, there was an unusually heavy snowfall in Jiangnan.

The south is not prone to snow, it is humid and bitterly cold. Mizuki was defenseless. I contracted the wind and cold, so I could only recuperate and take medicine in the house.

Yi Shu came to Jinzhou, so he handed over the post to the government office.

Chu Weilin asked people to greet her and waited for her to sit down. smiled and asked, "But the little marquis asked you to come to Jinzhou?" ”

Yishu pursed her lips and smiled: "He won't let me come." Am I not coming? ”

Chu Weilin smiled and blinked.

Yishu sighed. "I can't fool you." I'm here to leave. In a few days, the little marquis will leave for Beijing, and I will go together. The fourth prince has to wait until the beginning of spring next year, and he is long enough when he is in Jiangnan. I returned to Beijing in the spring. ”

Counting up, the four princes have been in Jiangnan for more than a year, cleaning up corrupt officials, rectifying the guards, and living a drunken life in the land of rich fish and rice.

In the officialdom, Chu Weilin is just a layman, Yi Shu can follow Li Muyu for a long time, the most important thing is that she is sensible, what can be known and what cannot be known, she is very clear, so the two of them can't start such a topic, and after saying a few words, it is still short of the parents.

Yishu talked about Widow Yue.

"You know her?" Chu Weilin was surprised.

Yishu smiled a little bitterly: "It's all old, and when I think about it, I always feel uncomfortable." ”

Before entering Beijing, the Ruixi class sang in Jiangnan for a period of time, and the head of the class was still Su Ziyu, and every time he started singing, he was full of voices.

There are many opera troupes in the south of the Yangtze River, and there are many winds and moons, and the Yiyue Lou, who is quite famous in Mingzhou, wants to ask the pipa master in the class to guide the skills of the girls in the building.

The class owner used to be unwilling, and outsiders said that the drama was ruthless and. The son is unrighteous, but in the heart of the class owner, people like them who sing honestly are still different from the girls who make a living from the hook bar.

Yiyuelou was dismissed, but he didn't give up, and even invited someone to be a lobbyist.

Su Ziyu made a mediation and took a step back from each other, and the pipa master only taught the Qing official named Ran Yue in Yiyue Tower.

Ran Yue is quite talented, has a solid foundation, and her skills have improved by leaps and bounds under the guidance of her master.

"I remember that when we left Jiangnan, her pipa had already caused a sensation in Mingzhou City." Xu mentioned Su Ziyu, Yi Shu's expression was a little sad, and he sighed lowly, "After that, we have been in the capital until ......."

Until Su Ziyu died......

Yi Shu didn't say it explicitly, but Chu Weilin understood.

Yi Shu didn't dwell too much on this detail, and said: "After I came to Jiangnan, I knew that Ran Yue had redeemed herself. No one knew where she had gone, and there was not the slightest hint of information about her. I returned to Jinzhou, and listened to some rumors about the widow Yue, perhaps there was a providence in the dark, and I went to the courtyard where the widow Yue lived, and she happened to meet me without going out, and I recognized it at a glance, and the widow Yue was Ran Yue. ”

Chu Weilin was stunned, the Xue family always said that Widow Yue was not from a serious background, and she actually told her to be right.

It's just that there are still some unclear explanations.

"Ran Yue was a red card back then, and the price of redemption must not be low, that Liang Qian is a big gambler, but he is not like a person who can come up with so much silver." Chu Weilin said.

Yi Shu said: "It's not Liang Qian's silver, it's Ran Yue's own savings." She told me that she didn't want to live the kind of life in Yiyue Tower, so she desperately saved money, so that she could leave Mingzhou and go to a place where no one knew her and be an ordinary person. After redeeming herself, she went all the way to Haizhou and married Liang Qian. Putting aside Liang Qian's gambler and drunkard temper, in terms of treating his daughter-in-law, it couldn't be better. I just can't quit gambling. Ran Yue had never told Liang Qian about her origin, and Liang Qian didn't know how many private taels she had.

said that it was a private silver tael, but in fact, it was not much, how much could she have left to redeem herself, and at first she took it out to Liang Qian, but later she saw it through, and she hid it.

When Liang Qian was seriously injured, she also persuaded her painstakingly, as long as Liang Qian promised not to gamble in the future. She planned to take out her private money to repay the gambling money, but Liang Qian refused, and Ran Yue gave up.

After Liang Qian's death, the silver in Ran Yue's hand was basically repaid for gambling, and the rest was used to live.

Madam, I know that Liang Qian was able to hang his life for half a year at that time, and it was your uncle's credit. It's not that Ran Yue doesn't want to give money. It's ......"

Chu Weilin waved her hand and interrupted Yishu's words: "This, I don't need to explain much, I can understand it." ”

If Liang Qian knew that Ran Yue had money in his hands. I don't know what to do with it yet.

Yi Shu raised his eyes. looked straight at Chu Weilin. said: "Don't hide it from Mrs. Say, I came today for Ran Yue's business." ”

According to the statement of Yishu. Jiang Qian's great kindness to Liang Qian that day, Ran Yue always kept it in her heart, and asked Chu Weilin for help for Jiang Qian's family, she was repaying the kindness.

Originally, she didn't want to come to Jiangnan, after all, when she went out from here, maybe someone would recognize her if she was not careful, and she wanted to say goodbye to her former identity completely.

But she can't resist Xue Cai, she has lived alone since Liang Qian's death, but no one who beat her idea has ever succeeded, but who knows that she has met Xue Cai, she doesn't want Xue Cai anything, but really likes it.

After coming to Jinzhou, she tried to live a low-key life, she didn't think about entering the house, as long as there was a small courtyard, Xue Cai would be able to come and see her when he was empty.

But in the past few months, Ran Yue finally understood that everything was in the mirror.

The Xue family couldn't accept her existence and couldn't accept her influence on Xue Cai.

After thinking about it, Ran Yue made up her mind in the end, she didn't want to put Xue Cai in a dilemma, since there was no place for her here, she was willing to go away and leave Jiangnan.

"After all, it's going to be winter, this season is not a good time to set off, Ran Yue has already set, and she will leave at the beginning of spring next year, she will explain it to Xue Cai, I just want to ask Mrs. to tell the Xue family's mother, she retreated despite the difficulty, and asked Xue's mother not to go to the door again." Yi Shu said slowly.

Chu Weilin heard it with mixed tastes, and she didn't know how to evaluate that woman.

Ran Yue is affectionate, but she is also ruthless, she is bold and responsible, she will do many things that women in this era dare not and will not do.

It's her background that dooms her temperament, and she's seen all sorts of things. The lustful person will never stop, and if there is no place for her, she will not force it.

Chu Weilin sighed, and said, "I'll talk to the Xue family's mother." ”

Yishu breathed a sigh of relief.

Chu Weilin looked at her with a relieved look, and a thought suddenly flashed in her heart.

She could see that Yi Shu was sincere to Li Muyu, and Li Muyu also had true feelings for Yi Shu, but the identities of the two were very different, if Yi Shu stood in Ran Yue's situation, how would she choose? Will they turn away and forget about each other?

Yi Shu seemed to understand something from Chu Weilin's eyes, her smile froze, and she whispered for a long time: "Women like us, we have seen a lot of wind and snow, and we also know that there is nothing more painful and desperate than forcing to die, the family and Hongyan, why should I embarrass him." ”

Whether it is thorough or open-minded, Chu Weilin can't say, but she can understand the choice of Yi Shu, the road of affection is already ups and downs, why embarrass herself and that person, even if there are thousands of deep affections, it will also be worn out.

After Yi Shu left, Chu Weilin looked for the Xue family and carefully explained the origin of the widow Yue.

At first, the Xue family was very shocked, Widow Nayue was really as she thought, she was not a serious person, and in front of her master, she didn't come out with those vulgar words.

But when she heard the end, she couldn't help but be silent.

After a long time, the Xue family's talent said: "It's not that the slave maid is ruthless, but if she is allowed, after her background is known, how will the slave and maid behave in the future?" She is a poor person, she wants to come out of Yiyue Tower, it can be seen that she is not willing to run that business, and her background is not something she can choose, but once she falls into that field, it is too difficult to get out of the way. Since she has made a decision, the slave and maid respect her for being a heart, grandma just rest assured, the slave and maid will not go to find her right and wrong, and her origin and slave will not confide in a word, and she will not mention it in front of Xue Cai, and after the spring next year, the slave and maid believe that she will leave by herself. ”

Chu Weilin enlightened the Xue family a few more words, and this matter was revealed.

In the evening, Chang Yuyun came back from his dispersion and brought a letter from Beijing.

Chu Weilin's eyes were sharp, and at a glance she saw that the handwriting on the envelope was from Chu Lunyu's hand, and she couldn't help but be surprised: "Father sent a letter?" ”

Chang Yuyun smiled and handed the letter to Chu Weilin: "I just received it, and I pinched it in my hand and stacked it thickly." ”

Chu Weilin took it, turned on the fire paint, took out the letter paper, and looked at it carefully.

Chang Yuyun sat down next to Chu Weilin, Chu Weilin read the letter, and he looked at her.

The beautiful face is full of joy, the corners of the lips are slightly raised, and the eyes are full of expectation, which is lively and agile and makes people can't take their eyes off.

But slowly, the smile on Chu Weilin's face faded, the corners of her lips tightened, and the whole person tensed.

"What's wrong?" Chang Yuyun was concerned, leaned over and glanced at the letterhead, and then his brows furrowed.

After a long time, Chu Weilin put down the letter paper and pushed the stack in front of Chang Yuyun, who quickly flipped through it, and his mood was also heavy.

Chu Lunyu said in the letter that Mrs. Zhang's body and bones are not very good, and the doctor can't say whether she can survive this winter.

"Probably for the eldest sister and the second sister." Chu Weilin shook her head helplessly, "Grandmother is not yet old, but her body and bones have not been healthy all these years, and she is often sick when I am not out of the cabinet." In fact, no matter how much my grandmother hated and blamed her mouth, she always hoped for us to be good in her heart. The second sister broke her heart back then, she scolded her in her mouth, and she didn't care about the second sister's affairs, and let the second sister toss it herself, but the second sister was gone, she was also sad, plus the eldest sister...... Grandmother loves the eldest sister the most, and when she usually mentions the eldest sister, she is smooth sailing in the He family, and when she receives my letter, she knows that something is wrong here. The third aunt came in a hurry, but the grandmother was worried in the capital. Count the days, the eldest sister should also arrive in Beijing, grandmother knows that it is Ha Furong who is doing the trouble, how can she not be angry? ”

Chang Yuyun gently hugged Chu Weilin, he knew that the relationship between his wife and grandmother was not intimate, but no matter what contradictions, in the face of life and death, what could not be put down?

"Linlin, do you want to go back to Beijing to see your grandmother?" Chang Yuyun asked her in a low voice.

Chu Weilin looked up in surprise: "Your term of office has not expired, how can I go?" ”

"Why can't you go?" Chang Yuyun patted Chu Weilin's back, "I can't leave, if you want to go, arrive in Beijing before the year and come back after the New Year." It's a hard journey, but if you want to see your grandmother, go ahead. ”

Chu Weilin was silent.

She knew Chu Lunyu's temper, if it weren't for the fact that Old Lady Zhang was really seriously ill and her life and death were unpredictable, he would never write such a letter to her to make her worry and trouble.

Chu Weilin looked at the letter, she thought, if she didn't go back, I was afraid that she wouldn't be able to see Mrs. Zhang for the last time. (To be continued.) )
