That night, Ou Qingjin didn't go back until the second half of the night.

Chun'er went to night when she heard the door ringing, and hurriedly put on her clothes and opened the door. I saw Tuan'er holding an angry lantern in his hand, squinting his eyes, looking sleepy, wanting to yawn but not daring to fight; Ou Qingjin's face was also very tired, and he asked lightly: "Did the fourth young grandmother sleep well?" ”

Chun'er said: "The fourth young grandmother waited for you for most of the night, but then she couldn't hold on, so the slave persuaded her to lie down and sleep well." ”

Ou Qingjin sighed: "I won't go into the clouds to quarrel with her, clean up the study for me." ”

Chun'er packed up the bed, asked Ou Qing to rest in peace, and shouted twice before he came back to his senses: "Chun'er, have you received the letter from your mother and younger siblings?" ”

Chun'er didn't understand why he still cared about her at this time, but replied obediently: "Back to the fourth young master's words, I received it." Everything is fine with them, thank you Si Shao and Xiao Grandma for their concern, otherwise they would have starved to death. ”

A few days ago, she knew that her hometown had also been affected, and she knew that someone in the Ou family's shop was going to her hometown, so she begged Xia Ruixi to help her see the situation at home and bring some money and things back. Xia Ruixi and Ou Qingjin attached great importance to this matter, not only let the errand go to her house, but also gave a stone of white rice and some silver taels, saving the lives of her mother and younger siblings. From the bottom of my heart, Chun'er is very grateful to the two.

Ou Qingjin nodded: "Didn't you kowtow and thank you?" If there is any difficulty, remember to tell the fourth young grandmother that if you can, we will try our best to help. ”

Chun'er replied and said, "The slave let Tuan'er come in and serve you so you can wash, right?" "If you don't sleep, it's going to be dawn.

Ou Qing said solemnly: "I'm not busy. These days, the family may be a little chaotic, and some young masters and young ladies will go to relatives, and there may be some gossip at that time. I think that the young grandmother is eight months pregnant, and she can't be frightened, unless she doesn't know, it's better not to let her know. ”

Chun'er's heart jumped, and she raised her eyes to Ou Qingjin, only to see that Ou Qingjin's eyes were so dark that they were bottomless, with coercion and melancholy. She breathed a sigh of relief and nodded cautiously: "The slave knows, please rest assured." ”

Ou Qingjin looked at her: "By the side of the young grandmother, you are the most important." I'm going to be very busy for the next while, she's there, and you're going to take care of it with other people. When you are about to give birth, everything that should be prepared should be prepared in advance and placed in one place so that you can reach out and hold it. Try not to let her walk around. Do you understand what I mean? ”

Chun'er responded cautiously, and began to think about what was not ready yet.

Xia Ruixi woke up, it was already three poles of the sun, Chun'er and Liang'er were guarding on the side, seeing her open her eyes, they were busy waiting for her to get up and get dressed and wash.

Xia Ruixi didn't see Ou Qingjin, and was a little disappointed: "When did Si Shao come back, and when did he leave?" ”

Liang'er was about to answer that Ou Qingjin had only slept for an hour, and left as soon as it was dawn. Chun'er hurriedly replied: "You just fell asleep last night, and Si Shao came back, so I went to the study to rest for fear of making noise." I slept a little more this morning, and I was originally going to have breakfast with you, but because the third young master came back, there were some things in the shop that had to be settled, and I was called away by the master. ”

When Xia Ruixi heard this, he secretly breathed a sigh of relief in his heart. was worried that something big would happen, but since there is still time to accompany her and time to settle the things in the shop, it means that there is nothing special to worry about.

After eating, Liang'er was ordered to send some fine wild honey to Mrs. Ou Er, and when she left the Splendid Garden, she sensitively felt that the atmosphere had changed.

There are people coming and going everywhere, and there are many people with things in their hands, Liang'er deliberately greets and chats with others, and people are too busy to pay attention to her. When she arrived at the warehouse near the upper room, she found that Wu was taking people to count items, from cabinets to pens, all of which had to be registered.

When I walked to the door of the upper room, I heard the crackling of the abacus in Mrs. Ou's room. Liang'er didn't dare to approach Mrs. Ou's room, but only dared to go to the side room to find purple satin. After entering, I found that countless cages had been opened, and the girl was under the supervision of Xue's family, separating the new and old, valuable, and ordinary jewelry, fabrics, furnishings, and utensils one by one, and registering them.

Liang'er finally found Purple Satin from the busy crowd, gave the honey, and gave Purple Satin a bottle of head oil alone, and said with a smile: "Sister, what's wrong today?" It's busy everywhere, is there anything you want us to help do? ”

Purple Satin put away the hair oil and said, "You have also seen that so many things, some of which have been put for decades, have to be counted." I'm too busy to talk to you about it. However, Madame said that the fourth young grandmother must come over for dinner tonight. ”

Liang'er laughed: "But what's the matter?" My sister reminded me, and I also asked the fourth young grandmother to come over and serve earlier. ”

Purple Satin looked around and whispered: "I don't know, but I heard rumors from everyone, it may be that the family is going to be separated." ”

Liang'er was shocked: "Splitting up? "Aren't the two old men and his wife okay? Why are you suddenly going to break up? Why didn't you hear any wind beforehand?

Purple satin said: "I heard that it was the clan elders who said yesterday night that the little young masters were locked up at home all day, not to gain knowledge, to read thousands of books, to travel thousands of miles, let them go to relatives, and have a long insight." Don't you want to use money when you go out, the young grandmothers are reluctant to let the young masters go, they are all crying poor, the lord and the lady are angry, so they say that they have divided all the valuable things, and no one has anything to say. Don't talk nonsense, rumors, rumors, it can't be true. ”

Liang'er walked towards the Splendid Garden in a fog, and suddenly, he wanted the little masters to go out to visit relatives and gain knowledge? Still angry and want to break up? The eldest young grandmother is responsible for counting the treasury, and the second young grandmother is responsible for counting the gold, silver, softness, and valuables in the lady's room. What about the three young grandmothers? Needless to say, he must have accompanied his wife to settle the family's belongings. What about their four young grandmothers? I don't know anything, it's just a notice to go to dinner, what does this mean? If there are really any good things and benefits, they will be taken up by the other young grandmothers first, and what else will be left in the Splendid Garden?

The more Liang'er thought about it, the more angry she became, her face became longer and longer, she walked with her head down, and bumped into a little girl head-on, the little girl was small and weak, and she was knocked to the ground by Liang'er, and a box in her hand also fell to the side, and something fell out, which turned out to be a string of good honeymoon wax Buddha head bracelets.

The girl screamed softly, and hurriedly picked up the bracelet, and hid it in the box before she could check and wipe the dust.

Liang'er saw that the girl's eyes were very raw, as if she had never seen it, and saw that the little girl with the valuable bracelet looked sneaky, and was suspicious, pointing to the good girl and scolding: "Which room are you in?" Where did this thing come from? Where are you going to send it? Tell the truth, or I'll send you to the housekeeper at once." ”
