Section 408 Patterns
Could it be that the Jiang family is also in trouble with money?
Yun Luo and Yun Jinyan coincidentally slipped through the same message in their minds.
The next moment, the two looked at each other.
"Sister, this can explain why the old lady passed away, the uncle of the Jiang family showed his face and hid under the pretext that there was an urgent business matter, and Mrs. Jiang wandered around the old lady and her mother's house all day long. I remember that the old lady's softness seemed to have been cleaned up by Mrs. Jiang with her mother, so she brought two personal servants, and the rest were not allowed to follow up, and stayed outside the house. I still think it's strange, how the old lady's life savings finally found a box of old clothes and a small jewelry box, which is full of some stale and old things, I thought they were all scraped into my own pocket, but now it seems that most of them have gone into the pocket of this Mrs. Jiang. The more Yun Jinyan spoke, the more angry he became, and his chest rose and fell agitatedly.
"This Jiang family is the most speculative and downhill. Now they have staked their wealth on the salt lead, but halfway through, it came out that Young Master Zeng's cousin was missing, and they were anxious, but they could only stare dryly. In case Young Master Zeng's salt introduction is not reliable, they will definitely climb Zhu Maofang's marriage to win the salt introduction business. Yun Luo thought about it and concluded.
Yun Jinyan nodded in agreement, and the two were silent for a while before she asked, "Sister, can you send someone to inquire about the Jiang family?" ”
Yun Luo nodded, and didn't say anything more to her.
Yun Jinyan saw that she didn't want to talk more, so she also said goodbye with interest.
Yun Luo didn't keep her either. Before sending her out, she asked Hongying to take a hundred taels of silver tickets and stuff them for her.
Yun Jinyan didn't pretend to excuse himself, and took the silver ticket very happily and hid it in his sleeve.
Hongying sent her all the way to the second gate, and then turned back.
"Miss, are you shooting too much for a hundred taels?" Hongying didn't say much about the silver ticket, but Ziwei couldn't help it.
"Silly girl, the current situation of the Yun family, where can she do anything if she has no money in her hand?" Yun Luo smiled disappreciatively.
Now that she has the money given by Tang Shao in her hand, she has a bit of pride in "treating money as dung", and she has no previous baht.
It is so, if you have plenty of money. Who's going to be the one who cares? Who doesn't want to spend money on things to reward their subordinates in a beautiful and decent way?
Yun Luo had been embarrassed before. I also know the importance of silver to people's hearts.
To put it bluntly, treating people with sincerity can certainly win people's hearts, but where is the money so affordable to move people's hearts? In the survival of the family, the money is even more important.
This is also why most large families have to buy a rich dowry for their daughters when they marry their daughters. First, the scene is good-looking. What's more important is that I am afraid that my daughter will marry into the man's family. The silver that has no living life in his hands is restrained everywhere, and even despised by those slaves. To survive in a big family, there is no confidence without silver. If you don't have confidence, you won't have dignity.
Tang Shao's intention to give her the 50,000 taels of silver was probably here.
Putting aside her thoughts, she focused her attention on the drawing paper that Yun Jinyan handed her again.
She unfastened the buckle around her neck, compared it with the pattern on the drawing paper, and found that it was exactly the same.
Although the appearance of the Ping An buckle looks similar, but the hollow part of the Ping An buckle is a hidden mystery, which is engraved with some lines, she has not looked carefully before, and now through the drawings suddenly found that there are such details, and her expression was solemn.
But how do you know what is engraved in the hollow inside?
She thought about it, and then told Hongying to prepare a piece of silk cloth and pen, ink, paper, and inkstone, Hongying didn't know what her young lady wanted these things for, and went down to prepare them with suspicion.
When it was ready, Yun Luo picked up the brush and dipped it in ink and applied it to the place engraved on the inside of the hollow of the Ping An buckle, and then carefully stuffed the snow-white silk cloth into the hollow, and then pressed it inch by inch on the white silk with the barrel of the brush. The ink was indeed engraved on the white silk, and she carefully pulled it out, and then spread it out and placed it on the table.
Hongying poked her head curiously to look, and Ziwei called: "Miss, it seems to be a word, and it seems to be a pattern." ”
Ziwei was in a difficult situation, and I couldn't tell what it was.
The red tassel took the white silk and presented it to Yun Luo's eyes, Yun Luo took it and was stunned, the small pattern has flowing water lines, it is said that the words are not very similar, and it is said that it is a pattern I have never seen such a strange pattern, as if it is ...... Like the totem of some tribe.
Yes, the more Yun Luo looked at it, the more he felt like it.
She remembered that she had read a travelogue in her father's study, as if there was a tribe living outside the Central Plains, they lived in seclusion, had no intersection with the outside world, used their own words, spoke their own language, had their own totems, and believed in their own gods. Could it be that this pattern is the totem of some tribe?
But it's not right, mother Luo is obviously from Pizhou in the northwest and a Han person, but she didn't come out of any tribe.
Thinking of this, she felt that the doubts in her heart were getting more and more, and she didn't know anything else except that she knew that her mother was from Pizhou, Northwest China. The strange thing is that she has never seen anyone in her mother's family since she was a child, and she has never heard her mother mention her mother's family.
The only one who talked to her about the northwest scenery was her nurse who married with her mother.
Nurse ......
Thinking of the nurse who sold herself for money, Yun Luo's heart was so painful.
It was as if thousands of needles were sticking together and piercing her heart.
She took a deep breath before pushing back the sourness in her eyes.
"Miss?" Hongying next to her saw the strangeness in the corners of her eyes, and couldn't help but care.
She waved her hand, lowered her eyes and asked, "What about my father?" Are you back? ”
Hongying replied that Yun Xiaofeng was alone in the study, so Yun Luo asked Fan Tao to prepare some chilled mung bean soup and jade cold fruit, and then asked Hongying to accompany her to the study.
Yun Xiaofeng obviously didn't expect Yun Luo to look for him at this time, and it was a surprise to see her.
He hurriedly covered some of the papers on the table, and Yun Luo's eyes were sharp, and he secretly saw that there were a lot of big characters written on it, all of which were "Mother".
Father must be sad in his heart, right?
Yun Luo sighed and motioned for Hongying to put down the refreshments and withdraw.
Soon only father and daughter were left in the room.
"Father, it's hot and dry, drink some chilled mung bean soup to cool off the heat." Yun Luo diligently picked up the fan in his hand and fanned it slightly for his father, sending wisps of fresh breeze. (To be continued......)
