The next day, Jin Nian went to Xie Mansion as usual to learn the housekeeper.

Aunt Xie was teaching her the account book of the treasury, she handed Jin Nian a somewhat yellowed account book, and said with a smile: "New Year's gifts, human relations are recorded on this, and it will be good to follow the routine in the future, otherwise the ceremony is not light, and it will be a joke in ......the past."

It turns out that there are so many things to pay attention to gift-giving, no one taught her in her previous life, she really doesn't know, her usual gifts are small things between sisters, most of them guess each other's preferences to send, where do you know the knowledge of this.

She nodded heavily, smiled and took the account book seriously.

At this time, Aunt Xie had already assigned the work to the housekeeper's mother, and she sat down in the little brocade beside Jinnian, with the pattern of an embroidered purse without a stitch.

The room was quiet, except for the occasional sound of Jin Nian flipping through the book.

A maid came lightly, and she leaned into Aunt Xie's ear and said, "Madam, the Imperial Doctor Wu invited by the eldest young master is here." ”

Aunt Xie was stunned for a moment, and then muttered, "This brother Qian is really ...... When you go back to the eldest young master, you will say that my night cough is cured, and I don't need to see the doctor anymore, and ask him to apologize to Mrs. Wu. ”

The rest of her words were to the maid.

Who knew that the maid listened to her words, and her footsteps didn't move for half a minute, and she coughed twice unnaturally before she said: "The eldest young master asked Imperial Doctor Wu to treat Miss Biao......

As she spoke, she glanced at Jinnian quickly.

Aunt Xie was stunned, was her son already so tempted by Jinnian? Even to his own parents, this son is only faintly respectful most of the time, when to ask the doctor so attentively.

Pressing the strangeness in her heart, she hurriedly beckoned the maid to bring the imperial doctor in.

Although Jin Nian was reading the account book, she listened to the conversation between the eldest aunt and the maid word for word, and she couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed in her heart, and she was afraid that the eldest aunt would misunderstand something and be dissatisfied with Xie Qian.

She put down the account book in her hand, stood up and said, "I haven't been able to sleep well for the past few days, and I heard that my cousin has hired a powerful doctor for my aunt, so I also asked my cousin, and I also want to ask the doctor to prescribe a prescription to calm my nerves." ”

"I see...... Aunt Xie smiled slightly and pulled her to sit down.

Jin Nian suddenly felt that he wanted to cover it up, and his hanging hands suddenly didn't know where to put it.

Just as she was talking, Xie Qian came in with Imperial Doctor Wu.

The two said hello to Aunt Xie, and Imperial Physician Wu carefully checked the pulse for Jin Nian, he first put his left hand, and only glanced at Jin Nian for a long time, and motioned for her to change her right hand to come out.

This cautious attitude made Jin Nian feel a "sigh", she couldn't really be infected with any incurable diseases!

Her heart immediately went up and down, and finally waited for Imperial Doctor Wu to finish her pulse, and before she could speak first, Aunt Xie hurriedly asked, "How is it, Miss Biao's health is good?" ”

Imperial Physician Wu smiled and nodded: "It's not a big deal, it's just that there are some blood deficiency diseases, I will prescribe some warm and tonic medicines, just eat them often!" ”

Aunt Xie nodded, and motioned to the maid beside her to wait for Imperial Doctor Wu to go to the cubicle to write the prescription.

Jin Nian also secretly breathed a sigh of relief, she was not seriously ill, she was finally reborn, she didn't want to go early.

When she returned to the prefect's mansion in the afternoon, her aunt asked Xie Qian to send her back.

As soon as they got out of the carriage at the Hanging Flower Gate, they saw Aunt Rong walking side by side with a young girl, as if she was about to send the girl out of the house.

Jin Nian was puzzled, and she didn't know which girl this was, who could work in Huai'an to send Aunt Rong, who regarded herself as Mrs. Tongzhi?

Aunt Rong also saw them from a distance, and immediately walked up with a smile, "Sixth Miss came back much earlier today than before. “

Have it? Jin Nian nodded, not wanting to pay too much attention to it.

Aunt Rong enthusiastically introduced: "This is Miss Birong of Xue Mansion's Xue painter's family, I heard that Miss Six came from Yangzhou, so I thought about going to say hello to Miss Six, but unfortunately Miss Six went to Xie Mansion early in the morning today, and now it is a coincidence, just in time." ”

As she spoke, she gently tugged at the girl standing beside her.

The young lady of Painter Xue's family, is she the daughter of Painter Xue?

Jin Nian was slightly surprised, raised her eyes and looked, at the age of fifteen or sixteen, she had a pair of good-looking willow eyebrows, and looked like a very docile girl.

Seeing her looking, the girl stepped forward and smiled softly: "Sixth Miss, Mr. Xie, ...... Gongzi" The willow waist branch bent half a salute.

Did you know your cousin? Jin Nian was a little surprised, and cast an inquiring glance at Xie Qian.

Seeing Jin Nian's inquiring glance at him, Xie Qian nodded at her almost invisibly, turned his head and said gently: "Miss Xue, don't be polite!" ”

Not only did he know his cousin, but he was also a member of Xue's family, so Jin Nian also followed Xie Qian and called "Miss Xue......".

Aunt Rong smiled on the side: "What do I say, you young people can get along, Birong, or you can stay for dinner, just accompany Miss Six to talk, so that she will not be bored in the house alone." ”

Look at this tone, it seems that the two move around a lot and have an excellent relationship!

But in a word, what does this mean? Jin Nian rolled his eyes in his heart and didn't say anything.

Xue Birong refused.

She smiled and confessed to Jinnian, "...... I'll come to talk to Miss Six another day, my brother is at home on leave today, I'm afraid I'm waiting for me to go back at the moment! ”

Jin Nian couldn't ask for it, so he said it was okay when he heard the words, turned around and was about to go back to the backyard, when he heard Xie Qian ask: "Miss Xue, do you know how many days will Brother Ling take a leave of absence?" Last time I asked Brother Ling for help, I didn't have time to thank him. ”

It turns out that this girl is Xue Xiucai's sister!

Jin Nian paused, and listened to Xue Birong's reply: "Brother Mu will rest for two days, and the day after tomorrow, my brother will go back to the school." ”

Thinking of the portrait with four or five points, Jin Nian's heart moved, turned around and winked at Xie Qian quietly, and then took the cuckoo back to the backyard to change clothes.

The living room of the outer courtyard of the same prefect.

When Jin Nian came, he saw Xie Qian's long body standing in the hall, the mottled sunlight through the window fell on his side face, and the faint golden glow made the corners of his lips smile warm.

Big cousin...... really understands her, and with a look, you know that she is looking for him.

Hearing footsteps at the door, he turned around slowly, and his eyes flickered when he looked at Jin Nian.

Jin Nian was stunned for a moment before telling Xie Qian his plan.

"You want to see Xue Xiucai?"

When he heard that Jin Nian asked him to help meet Xue Xiucai, Xie Qian was surprised, could it be that the portrait or not?

Jin Nian nodded, and said with a little emptiness: "That portrait, there are still some discrepancies, I want to take Mama Lin to talk to Xue Xiucai in person, try to make it more like?" ”

Since it was for the portrait, Xie Qian smiled: "Then I'll go to Xie's Mansion later and ask him to meet him in the teahouse tomorrow?" ”

He raised his eyebrows slightly, and said with some hesitation: "Xue Xiucai...... In short, when you meet him, be polite! ”

Xue Xiucai is so valued by his cousin?!

Jin Nian suddenly became curious about Xue Xiucai.
