In the hot summer, the bamboo curtain under the porch was hung up early in the morning. The shade of the trees in the courtyard was deep, the room was transparent, and the gauze was swaying lightly, carrying the cool mint fragrance.
Su Mo leaned under the window and looked at the accounts and the news collected from various places.
"Miss, the third lady is here." Jin Jue was embroidering with the girls outside the window and turned around to say something.
Su Mo put down the book and stood up to greet Su Xiner, who was wearing a pink gauze skirt and leaning on a cane under her arm. Her legs and feet were much better than before.
"Mo'er, when I came here, I heard the little girl from Dacheng's family say that there was someone who was sending a letter to daddy. He was mysterious."
Su Mo snorted and told Jin Jue, "Da Juezi, go to the master's study and ask who is here to deliver the letter? Did you tell me whose family it is from? In the past, people didn't know it."
Jin Jue left immediately, and Su Mo and Su Xiner looked at the flowers embroidered by the girls under the corridor.
Soon Jin Jue came back and said: "Miss, someone did come to deliver a letter. They said it was from an old acquaintance of the master and Ningzhou. I also brought the letter."
Then he handed the prayer box and a letter to Su Mo.
Su Mo took a look and saw that the worship box was in good order, like the custom in Ningzhou, but she had never heard of that person. She opened the letter and looked at it, and there was a blank piece of paper inside.
Jin Jue and Su Xiner asked in surprise: "What's going on?"
Su Mo frowned slightly and immediately said: "Let's go to the old grandmother's place."
A few people took the letter and the prayer box and went to the old lady's room. The old lady was drinking bird's nest porridge and gave it to them. Su Mo and Su Xin'er said they had already drank it.
Su Mo handed over the letter and the prayer box, "Grandma, I'm afraid something is very strange."
The old lady looked at it and felt puzzled. Who could send such a blank piece of paper without writing anything on it.
I looked again and found that there was no mezzanine, so the worship box was nothing special.
The official title on the worship box is also very serious. I went to check and found out that the man was a newly appointed official in Ningzhou and had no contact with the Su family.
The old lady pondered for a moment and then ordered Mother Zhang: "Let someone go and find out who the person who came to deliver the box is. Also, let someone ask where this official is staying in Beijing now."
Zhang's mother went away. When the inquirer came back, she said that the official was in Ningzhou and had not come to Beijing at all. Moreover, he went to the place where the servant who delivered the message mentioned that he was not that personal.

It's late today because I'm studying the bullshit system of 69 Book Bar.
Previously, it was said that the manuscript fee would be calculated based on the flow of traffic, and it was stipulated that a chapter should be at least 700 words, and then 69 Book Bar calculated it by itself, and the article could be published with 680 words.
Now they don't know where the problem is, so they have changed it. In fact, I think it is better to change it. According to the actual number of words in WORD, don't show too much, we don't need it.
Nowadays, it is said that manuscript fees are calculated based on the number of words. Although everyone has never known how 69 Book Bar calculates manuscript fees for authors, it is even more confusing now. Because manuscript fees are calculated based on the number of words, 69 Book Bar means that everyone should not write articles.
The punctuation marks are not included in the word count. Haha, I laughed so much that I burst into tears. 730 words, showing 670. In fact, if you want to deduct our money, you don’t need to be so sanctimonious. We don’t understand your settlement method anyway, so whatever.
It’s deducted, but everyone never understands how you calculate it. You can’t deduct as much as you want. Why are you pretending to calculate the number of words? Everyone can’t understand anything anyway. Haha.
It was so long-winded that I got distracted while coding. I didn’t even finish coding this morning. It was really painful!
