Duan Jie returned home, and before he approached the second courtyard, he was stopped by a person who looked like a steward.

"Master, there's a letter from Hangzhou."

Duan Jie stood up and looked at the person who came, and said, "Did you say something above?" ”

The surname of the person who came was Liao, and his real name was Fusheng.

Liao Fusheng was the chief steward of the Duan family, mainly in charge of the Duan family's treasury and correspondence, he stopped three steps away, bowed down and replied: "It said that the Mei family's silk was loaded with four boats and went north along the canal. ”

Duan Jie's heart skipped a beat, and an ominous premonition flooded into his heart, and he asked in a deep voice, "Where have you gone?" ”

"The villain doesn't know. It was not written on the letter. Liao Fusheng replied.

"Rubbish!" Duan Jie asked again, "How many days have you been gone?" ”

Liao Fusheng hurriedly took out a note from his arms, looked at it, and said, "It's been three days." ”

Duan Jie lowered his face coldly and ordered: "Let them take a boat along the river to find me, and when they find it, ask them to follow behind and see where those silks are going to be sent." ”

"Yes, the villain is going to write a letter."

Liao Fusheng turned around and hurriedly ran outside.

Duan Jie stood there looking at the sunset in the distance, and couldn't guess what Miss Mei's intentions were, why did she spend manpower and material resources to transport those silks to other places?!

When Ruoxue was buying a large amount of silk, in order to become the last straw that broke the camel's back, he asked more than a dozen weaving mills to sell all the thousands of catties of silk collected to the Mei family's shop.

Duan Jie wanted to watch the fire from the other side to see how the young lady of the Mei family disposed of so much silk, and he didn't want to wait for a long time without seeing her make any moves.

I don't know what she's going to do this time.

Duan Jie turned around and walked towards the inner courtyard, thinking that Miss Mei had purchased all the silk in Jiangnan for the sake of those mulberry farmers.

If it were him, he would never have done it.

It is unrealistic for those who live at the bottom to serve those at the top, and it is unrealistic for them to make their output infinitely great, but to make the people at the top pay for their mistakes.

But this unreality made the Miss Mei family realize it for them! In Sang Nong's heart, the young lady of the Mei family seems to have become a living Guanyin who rescues suffering.

They can have a good year, too!

Can Miss Mei also have a bumper year?

"Master, where are these things going to be delivered?"

The entourage, who was holding a few toys in the back, followed Duan Jie into the inner courtyard and walked for a while, this was a place they had never set foot in, so they asked.

Duan Jie came back to his senses, turned around and looked at the toy that his entourage was holding, stretched out his hand, wandered over several of them, and finally reached out to take the basket.

"Send the others to the study in front." He said.

The two attendants answered, turned and retreated.

Duan Jie returned to the house, casually put the basket on the table, and his wife Fan came up to take off the outer blouse for him, and asked him carelessly where he had gone that day and what he had done.

Duan Jie replied casually, and then asked about his two daughters.

Fan said: "I asked Lumei to take them to wash, and I will see them when we have dinner."

Today I asked the kitchen to make a few cold dishes, and the master will taste them later. ”

After dinner, Duan Jie and Fan sat under the porch to enjoy the shade, and the two concubines and six or seven Meiji were beside them, laughing and having fun.

Duan Jie gave the bamboo basket to his two daughters and watched them squat on the edge of the flower bed and play.

When everyone saw the toys he bought, they all said that they were novel, and the two children liked it even more, so they didn't pay attention to anything when they played.

Duan Jie looked at it for a while, and his thoughts drifted to Jinling, thinking about what the young lady of the Mei family was doing at this moment?

Ruoxue ate dinner in Tian's house, the heat was very heavy these days, Tian's body was a little uncomfortable, please ask the doctor to see it, took a few packets of herbs, and looked better after eating it for two days.

After dinner, I accompanied Tian to sit under the porch to enjoy the coolness, and Aunt Yulan and Aunt Zheng sat on the chairs next to them, holding the fan and shaking it for a while.

On the other side, an arhat couch was specially set up for Aunt Zhou, and she was half-lying on it, watching a maid peel lotus seeds for her to eat.

The maids Zifeng and Xiao Yu took the fans and stood next to them to fan the heat of the summer for her.

Aunt Zhou has been in her body for more than eight months, and her abdomen is round and bulging, which also makes it more and more inconvenient for her to move, and it is doubly laborious to get up and sit down.

Tian added four older maids to her side, who took turns to stay by her side day and night, taking care of her movements.

Ruoxue and Ruohong asked people to move two embroidered piers and sit opposite Tian's, so that she could see the two baby daughters without turning her head.

Within reach of them was a small table with tea cups for several people, and a plate of watermelons and peaches in the middle.

Ruoxue took a peach, put it on the cushion of a handkerchief, and slowly ate one.

Aunt Zheng looked at the swaying leaves on the bamboo in the distance and said, "It's a little windy now, and it feels cooler." ”

Aunt Zhou said in a gloomy tone: "It won't rain until someday, and it will also make us cool for a few days." ”

"Let Rose be wronged!" Tian said.

"I don't feel wronged, it's just that I'm a little upset in the heat these days." Aunt Zhou sat up a little straighter, reached out and took the fan from Xiao Yu's hand and fanned herself.

Aunt Zheng said sourly: "We have forgotten what our name is, but my wife has a good memory and can always remember my sister's name, which really makes us jealous." ”

Aunt Yulan smiled and said, "You tell me your name, I want to call you in the future, it's not a big deal." ”

"Don't!" Aunt Zheng waved her hand and said with a smile: "I haven't called it for a long time, I was called by you coldly, I know that you are calling me, and I don't know that I think you are calling a ghost,"

The crowd laughed at the words.

Ruohong had just eaten a piece of watermelon, spit the watermelon seeds on the handkerchief, and was slowly swallowing the watermelon seeds at this time.

Hearing this, Ruohong hurriedly spit out the skin of the melon seeds, and laughed.

After gossiping for a while, serving Tian Shi into the house and lying down, Ruoxue pulled Ruohong out and went back to Guanfang Courtyard.

Early the next morning, when Ruoxue and Ruohong went to greet Mrs. Cao, she had not yet gotten up.

Jin Zhu said that Mrs. Cao didn't fall asleep last night, tossing and turning in the first half of the night, and only in the second half of the night did she sleep peacefully.

"The old lady won't be sick, will she?" Ruohong said cautiously, afraid that others would misunderstand her and curse Old Madam Cao for getting sick.

Ruoxue's brows furrowed, "Wait for Grandma to have breakfast, and ask someone to invite Dr. Xiao Qi to come and have a look." She said.

After a while, Ruoxian, Ruofei, and Ruofeng also came to greet Mrs. Cao with Ruolan.

A few people waited in the small hall for a while, and Mrs. Cao asked the gold beads and silver beads to wait.
