Chapter 13 Writing a Letter
"Did my uncle go to redeem someone smoothly? Did you hear any other news?"

Hualian nodded, "Liu Fu said that my uncle brought two yamen servants to Liu'er Hutong after changing their uniforms, and Mistress Yu asked for 500 taels of silver each, and a total of 1000 taels of silver before she was willing to let them go..."

"There are so many, then Yumao is too big to open her mouth! Then how does Uncle Geng deal with it?"

Geng Xingchen was angry first and then curious.

Hualian smiled and said: "Then Mistress Yu is going around to make a living in this shameful business. In fact, she is able to make this kind of business because of her man. But if this deed is not submitted to the Yamen, they will still be servants of the uncle's mansion.

Mistress Yu dived headfirst into the money, but for a moment she ignored such an important matter. Of course, it had something to do with her man handling this matter. My uncle and Mistress Yu were in a stalemate for some time. Fortunately, her man never When he came back from the outside, he went to the yamen for a long-distance run. Although he went to the Ningfeng county yamen, the county yamen was next to the government yamen. He also met his uncle, so he only added ten taels of silver in the end, which was regarded as the transportation fee and transfer fee. "

"In a while, you go and get 130 taels of silver and give it to Li Deng, and ask him to send it to Cicada Flying Alley."

"Fifth sister, isn't it 120 taels?"

Geng Xingchen was puzzled, "Xianglan is 60 taels, half roll is 50 taels, plus [-] taels of transportation fee and transfer fee, I did my calculations correctly!"

She even counted on her fingers.

Geng Xingshuang laughed, "Uncle took two messengers with him. The ten taels is hard work. We can't let people make a trip in vain, and it's not good for uncle to pay the money."

Geng Xingchen nodded, "It's such a reason, brothers have to settle accounts clearly, and the fifth sister, I will pay half of the ten taels."

"Okay." Geng Xingshuang did not refuse.

Hualian took the silver, hurried to the outer courtyard to hand it to Li Deng, and then hurried back.

"Why are you in such a hurry?"

Geng Xingshuang looked at the painting curtain that only took about a quarter of an hour to go back and forth, feeling a little baffled.

"Miss, the carriage from the mansion went to Liu'er Hutong, and stopped in front of Mistress Yu's house. It must be to find Mistress Yu too. Miss, aren't you worried?"

Hualian asked panting.

"What are you worried about? Ban Juan and Pan Lan have already been taken away by my uncle."

"Then... Miss, you are not curious about what the uncle's carriage is for? This morning, I let Mrs. Yu take him away, but I went to find it in the afternoon? Who sent this carriage, Mrs. Uncle or the second wife?" ?”

With a sound of "噗嗤", Geng Xingchen covered his lips and smiled, and Geng Xingshuang couldn't help laughing out loud, and joked to himself: "Who really brought someone out, Hualian, your curiosity is just like your girl and me. Exactly the same."

"Then...girl, why aren't you curious today?" Hualian looked puzzled.

"Because... your girl has changed her temper, and now she only cares about earning money, and she doesn't care about other trivial matters, so she can be at ease."

Geng Xingshuang looked serious, Hualian was stunned for a moment, and then said "Oh" with some regret, "Your servant is awake, I will follow you from now on, don't mind your own business..."

"Pfft..." Geng Xingchen couldn't help laughing again.

"Girl, you lied to me again!"

With Geng Xingchen's smile, Hualian, who fell into his girl's pit again, immediately reacted and complained.

"Angry? You don't want to know why the uncle's carriage went to Liu'er Hutong?"

"Hmph, this servant is going to ask Jin Bao."

Geng Xingshuang sighed with some regret, satisfying other people's curiosity is also a very interesting thing, and it is cheaper for Jinbao.

However, there is still one person who can satisfy her desire to confide.

After Geng Xingchen's master and servant left, Geng Xingshuang took a look at the painting curtain which was being cut with a cloth ruler in satisfaction after knowing the answer. But in the eyes of the painting curtain, it is a design drawing of clothes, not only the front side, but also the back side, from the jewelry on the hair bun to the clothes she is wearing to the embroidered shoes on her feet.

This essence is not only beautiful, but also fine.

But such a picture of a beautiful and delicate lady does not make people notice the gorgeous clothes and ornaments on the woman at first glance. The first impression must be that this woman is really beautiful, bright and elegant, with a temperament Gao Hua.

This is the effect Geng Xingshuang wants to achieve.

The clothes she draws are used to set off people, so that the owner of the clothes can achieve their most perfect state at the moment, not to overwhelm others.

The painting in front of the painting curtain was the one Geng Xingshuang was most satisfied with before today, but after waking up this morning, its position automatically fell to the second place, and the number one position was still in her mind Wait until she finishes writing the letter before starting to write.

Geng Xingshuang didn't bother the painting curtain either. He took a pen, ink, paper and inkstone by himself, spread the paper and rubbed the ink, and the ink gradually soaked into the paper.

"Brother Qingmo, there have been a lot of things going on in the mansion recently, and I am really disturbed. I have trouble sleeping and eating, my clothes are getting wider, and my face is yellow and dry. Let me come one by one... I wish you peace and success, and finally, the manuscript in your hand can make you red." The blessing is sent along with the letter, and I would like to try reading it for my brother, or I can make a suggestion or two, I dare not take credit, but I am willing to work hard for my brother."

After writing the last word, the nib of the pen hangs on the paper. Wouldn't it be too shameless to write like this.

But if she wants face, how can she get manuscripts? Recently, she is really short of spiritual food. How do you say that word? It seems to be called "book shortage". It sounds strange at first, but when you think about it carefully, it is very vivid.

Because of the shortage of books, during this period of time, apart from worrying about Mingshang Pavilion, I was drawing various clothing modeling pictures. I only drew ten pictures, and eight of them were about to be discarded. They were all half-rolled curtains. Even Ruan thought it was beautiful, but it didn't achieve the effect Geng Xingshuang had imagined.

It is precisely because of this that Geng Xingshuang urgently needs a person who has a good aesthetic and can show the good aesthetic vision to the real thing.

Going astray, Geng Xingshuang pulled his thoughts away from the big plan to make money, looked at the letter paper that had been dried out, thought for a while, and added a sentence at the end, "If Brother Qingmo is busy these days and has no time to write, you can also use Pingcheng New releases and books bought by brother on the way will temporarily replace one or two, including but not limited to legends, story books, history books, biographies, travel notes, etc..."

Geng Xingshuang loves to read books, but the premise is that there must be a storyline in the book. When she reads a sentence of imperial examination books such as the Four Books and Five Classics, she has to read a sentence of explanation. She is neither interested nor patient. It is okay to read poems and songs occasionally , but she doesn't have the sensitive and thoughtful mood to empathize with her, but since four years ago, when she was a ten-year-old girl, she received a letter from the Pingcheng Wucheng Escort who was also a backup escort. The letter sent by Yang Qingmo, along with the letter, is a booklet with a blue background that is not thick on one side. It is written "The Story of Yunshan". , False in reality, all the things described are fabricated—Yun Feiyan!"

That is to say, "The Story of Yunshan" is a fabricated legendary story, or a talking book.

At that time, Geng Xingshuang had never been exposed to this type of books. Apart from the books such as "Three Character Classic", "Thousand Character Classic", "Children's Learning Qionglin" and other books when he was enlightened, he had only read "University" and "The Great Learning" from his elder brother Geng Shuhuai. The Analects, "Book of Rites" and other imperial examination books, the rest is to go out with the elders as guests. After listening to a few plays, I know that the plays are all performed according to the playbooks.

 ps: As I write this, I feel a little excited... The way of communication between the hero and heroine is traditional and romantic!
