After Shen Yuechen returned home, she went to wash and change her clothes first, and then it was time to hold the lamp.

As soon as the hour passed, the old lady's maid brought over a few delicate side dishes and a pot of warm chicken soup with shiitake mushrooms, and brought the old lady's words, so that after dinner, she would rest in the room early, and there was no need to go over to say goodbye.

The old lady came to think of her going back to her parents' house, and her body was tired and inconvenient to toss. Second, I was afraid that she was really sick and wanted her to slow down first.

Shen Yuechen listened carefully, so she didn't disobey the old lady's intentions, got up and ordered Chun Ming to send the return gift from her mother's house.

The dishes sent by the old lady are properly served with meat and vegetables.

The cabbage sum is fresh, the pigeon is crispy, the mushrooms are smooth, the beef is fragrant, and there is a pot of mushroom chicken soup that has been boiled for nearly two hours, thick but not greasy, fragrant, and a lot of thought has been spent on everything.

Shen Yuechen looked very comfortable, so she deliberately used more, and remembered her grandmother's explanation during the day, so she drank an extra bowl of soup. After eating, she had to walk two more laps in the yard, which was the best to move and be quiet.

Coincidentally, the old lady had just delivered the meal, and the old man ordered someone to send a small boxy brocade box, saying that the old man gave the grandmother a gadget to relieve boredom.

Shen Yuechen took the brocade box, and then remembered the gift that the old man had said that day, and immediately opened it to take a look, only to see that what was in the box was actually a Western pure gold pocket watch.

Shen Yuechen was slightly stunned, she didn't expect that the old man's mysterious treasure before would actually be a pocket watch.

This pocket watch is finely made, in brand new condition, and the case is lightly engraved with gorgeous patterns, which is heavy in the hand, with a heavy retro feeling.

Although it was not difficult to see such a thing in her previous life, it was very rare in this life.

Shen Yuechen held the cool pocket watch, smiled slightly on her face, and did not make a sound.

The old man's mind is really different.

Every inch of time is an inch of gold, and the most precious thing in the world is time!

It's just that I don't know how long and how long I can stay in the Zhu family?

Thinking of his unknown fate in the future, Shen Yuechen suddenly felt a little more urgent in his heart, and suddenly remembered something in his mind, and immediately called Wu Ma to him and said, "Wu Ma, didn't I say before that I wanted to buy a few acres of land?" There have been too many trivial matters lately, and this matter has been delayed, so you can find a suitable opportunity to help me pay attention to it. ”

When Wu's mother heard this, she paused for a moment before she spoke again: "How much land does Miss want to buy?" ”

Miss hasn't mentioned buying land for a while, and she will bring it up again, I'm afraid that she is planning for the worst in her heart, planning to leave the Zhu family.

The dowry, although rich, is not easily moved.

Shen Yuechen knew that his savings were not much, and the total number of zero was only more than two hundred taels. According to the current market outside, you can buy up to 30 acres of land. However, you can't spend all the money, you have to save some money to live.

"At least ten acres of land, let's buy it first and collect the rent, or, hire someone to plant some grains and vegetables at the beginning of spring next year, in short, don't just leave it empty."

She thought about it carefully, it is naturally not enough to have silver and two bodies, and if she buys a few more acres of land and buys a house, it can be regarded as leaving a way back for herself, even if she is really divorced from the Zhu family in the future, she and Wu's mother will not have nowhere to go and be displaced.

When Mother Wu heard this, she suddenly felt bitter in her heart, but she said respectfully in her mouth: "Yes, the old body will definitely get this matter done as soon as possible." As she spoke, she looked at Shen Yuechen for a while, and then asked cautiously, "Miss, ......are you okay?"

"Of course I'm fine. In any case, we have to live the rest of the day, and I just want to leave us a way back, just in case. Mom, don't worry. ”

Reflecting the faint candlelight, Shen Yuechen's eyes were like autumn water, but at this moment, they were like bottomless pools, and her eyes couldn't tell whether they were sad or happy, just like her mood at this time, they were deeply hidden.

Mother Wu felt sour inexplicably, and deliberately turned around immediately, picked up scissors and gently cut off the knotted lamp flowers: "It's late at night, Miss should rest early." ”

"I'm not sleepy, you can sleep first." Shen Yuechen gave Wu's mother a shallow smile back to reassure her.

When Wu's mother heard this, she had to put on a veil again to make the light in the room brighter.

Shen Yuechen sat under the lamp, leaning on the pillow, looking at the gift list line by line.

Chun Ming took the cloak and put it on Shen Yuechen's shoulder, then took a needlework basket, put on a thimble, and lowered his head to start needlework seriously.

Although the Zhu family has people who specialize in needlework, Shen Yuechen's underwear must all be handled by the people around her.

Mother Wu gently closed the door, stood outside the door, sighed, followed back to her room, and pulled out a large black box under her bed, the box looked old, and seemed to be some years old.

On the old box, an old copper lock was attached.

Mother Wu took out a copper key from under the pillow and opened the big box, which contained some old clothes, and it was also a child's clothes.

Wu's mother reached out and picked up a small gray cotton jacket, and her fingers carefully rubbed the fine and neat feet on it, feeling melancholy in her heart. This is the first cotton jacket she sewed for Shen Yuechen with her own hands, which was changed from the cotton robe of the old sister-in-law in the nunnery, the fabric is old, and the cotton inside is also loose and not tight enough. But Miss still wore it for three years, from long to short, because of the practice of calligraphy, the cuffs were worn out many times, stacked with several patches.

The clothes that Shen Yuechen has often worn since she was a child, Wu's mother carefully collected them, and she was never willing to throw them away.

Mother Wu rolled up the stack of clothes, and then took out a few things from the bottom.

A cloth bag with silver and silver tickets, two purses, and several silver hairpins wrapped together by handkerchiefs. These things are all the belongings that she and the young lady have worked hard to accumulate, and every point and every article is hard-won.

Mother Wu took out the silver money cloth bag, only poured out all the broken silver and silver tickets inside, liquidated it, followed it, and put it back in full, and couldn't help but sigh a long time.

The more she thought about it, the more she felt bad in her heart, Miss had a hard time when she was a child, and after returning home, she was treated coldly, and now she finally married into a famous family, and became the grandmother of the Zhu family in a dignified manner, but she lived so tremblingly.

Every time she saw the young lady being wronged, her heart hurt like someone had been cut off from her.

She has no children and no daughters for half her life, and Miss is her heart and life!

Mother Wu hung her head silently, looked at the silver bag in her hand, and frowned tightly.

People's hearts are unpredictable, in this world, apart from themselves, where is there anyone who really feels sorry for Miss...... Therefore, no matter what, from now on, no matter when and where, even if you fight for this old life, you must protect the young lady and prevent her from suffering again!
