The girl who wears fast

Chapter 479 The Palace Lady Wants to Retire (5)

On the second day after Qing Xing was asked to go to the Red Plum Garden to look for a pomegranate tree, the eldest lady Li Minghui asked for leave, saying that she was sick and could not come to class. Wen Shichu knew this well. She had an affair with Zhou Shaowen, and in order to avoid complications, Li Minghui "sick".

But none of this has anything to do with Wen Shichu. She asked Qingxing to find out about the scandal in person. It was already because the people in the Hou Mansion treated her well, and she did everything she could. She couldn't help with anything else. .

Li Mingxiu and Li Mingan didn't know what happened to their eldest sister, they were still lively and clever, and they only cared about fighting wits with Wen Shichu in class, trying to be lazy, looking carefree, and didn't know their reputation or even Their future marriage happiness was almost destroyed in the hands of their eldest sister.

A few days later, Wen Shichu was summoned by Mrs. Hou.

Mrs. Hou sent all the servants out, and only Qing Xing stayed.

"Aunt Wen, I invited you here to thank you. Because of your reminder, Minghui did not make a big mistake. It can be said that our Li family, whether married or unmarried, should be grateful for your help. And tight-lipped." Mrs. Hou said directly and frankly.

She looks haggard and tired now, obviously she has been worrying a lot about her eldest daughter, but she is still kind and amiable, and she does not rely on her status to bully Wen Shichu with power. Shut up about the scandal in my own family, but sincerely express my gratitude with gifts.

"Qing Xing, take out all the things I want to give to Aunt Wen." Madam Hou ordered Qing Xing.

"Yes." Qing Xing replied, and then took out an exquisite and gorgeous treasure box. As soon as Qing Xing opened it, a burst of dazzling light burst out from inside. The box full of jewels surprised me a bit.

"A small gift is not a respect." Mrs. Hou pushed the treasure box in front of Wen Shichu, and said with a wry smile, "Please don't refuse, Auntie. I know that Auntie has high morals and is cautious and reticent. The scandal is out, so these gifts are not hush money, but pure thanks to you, if my aunt doesn't accept it, it will make me worry."

She said so, how could Wen Shichu still refute?Even for the sake of Mrs. Anhou's heart, she should accept these things. After all, although Mrs. Hou said that these are not hush money, what the big family says may be different from what they think in their hearts. hush money.

So Wen Shichu was very sensible: "Then I would like to thank Madam for your generosity. Don't worry, Madam, I don't know anything. Apart from giving lessons to the girls every day, I just plant flowers and plants in my yard. I don't even know the gate of the yard." If you don’t come out, your eyes and ears are closed.”

Mrs. Hou felt a lot more relaxed when she heard what she said. She had thought about killing her daughter in order to avoid leaking the scandal. Without her, is she going to be an ungrateful person?

So after discussing with her husband, Mrs. Hou decided to offer a heavy gift, both to repay and to keep her mouth shut. Wen Shichu was also as she had expected, a smart and interesting person, and people who came out of the palace knew how to be cautious. The importance of prudence and deafness.

Wen Shichu then harvested a treasure box, she took it back to her small yard, opened it, and took a good look at the gift from Mrs. Hou.

This treasure chest contained not only precious jewels, but also a land deed and several large-denomination bank notes.

The land deed belongs to a hot spring village in the outskirts of Beijing. The treasure of hot spring village is now priceless. I don’t know how many dignitaries in the capital want to get one. Unfortunately, almost no one will trade it. But Mrs. Hou actually It was so easy to send it to Wen Shichu!

This is no small feat. Although this hot spring village is not big and its location is remote, it does not prevent it from being worth thousands of dollars. Mrs. Hou can give her this village as a thank you gift, obviously she is really grateful to Shichu.

Of course, no matter how valuable this Zhuangzi is, to the Hou family of Wuyang, it is no more valuable than the reputation and future of their own female family members, so Mrs. Hou probably understood this, so she generously gave it to Wen Shichu.

In addition to the title deed of Wenquan Zhuangzi, those several large-denomination banknotes add up to 2 taels of silver. Wen Shichu once again marveled at Mrs. Hou's generosity. Obviously their family cares about their daughter very much. I hope Li Minghui can understand. The painstaking efforts of my own parents.

In addition to the land deeds and bank notes, those jewels are also expensive, but Wen Shichu's accompanying space has a collection of rare and precious jewels, so she doesn't have much feeling for these jewels. He put it aside casually, intending to take it out and wear it at ordinary times.

During the vacation, Wen Shichu immediately went to the hot spring village that Mrs. Hou gave her. She planned to inspect it first to see if there was any need for improvement. After all, she planned to come here to soak in the hot spring in winter. It can't be built too casually.

Wen Shichu went to the Zhuangzi, and found that the situation was much better than she thought. Probably Wuyanghou's family had used this hot spring Zhuangzi before, so everything was well taken care of. Where there is a hot spring, I saw several pools. Obviously the whole family can come for a dip.

Wen Shichu remodeled it according to the design scale of a modern hot spring villa, drew the blueprints, and then hired someone to renovate Zhuangzi.

There was no rush for the reform, so she left enough money for Zhuangzi's steward, and rode down the mountain road on horseback.

Her hot spring village is a bit remote, so she was the only one on the way down the mountain. The horses walked down the mountain unhurriedly. The sound of horseshoes made the mountain forest more and more secluded. There were not even birdsong. I can't help but feel that a group of bandits might come out of this mountain at some point...

Probably she is a crow's mouth, good and bad spirits, just when she thought that there would be bandits, there were actually other hooves of horses coming from not far away, and those horses came galloping , The sound of horseshoes was getting closer and closer, and they appeared in front of Wen Shichu almost in the blink of an eye.

There is only one way up and down the mountain, so Wen Shichu met the visitor on a narrow road, and even because the visitor's horse ran too fast, he almost ran into her. The moment he bumped into Wen Shichu immediately, the man pulled the reins of his horse, causing the horse to neigh abruptly, the horse's hooves raised, and it just stopped in front of Wen Shichu.

Wen Shichu looked expressionlessly at the tall man riding a horse in front of him, and really wanted to kick this man off his horse. This guy is rampant, isn't he afraid of hurting people with his horse?Because of the remoteness of this place, you think that there is no one, and you can do whatever you want?
