Yin Le did not make any public announcement about this matter. Naturally, she would not think that Chu Kun was in love with her and wanted to marry her as his concubine. In fact, his purpose behind this was that he knew that she had a close relationship with Chu Ye and wanted to use her to attack Chu Ye.
Ye.
Mo Yan didn't know about this either. Yin Le knew that because of her relationship, Mo Yan and Hongyan were very close to Chu Ye, so once they were told, once Chu Ye noticed something and asked them about it, they would
Reveal it. And she doesn't want Chu Ye to worry about her matters.
After rejecting Chu Kun at Happy House, Chu Kun has been silent. In this way, more than a month has passed, and the new year is approaching.
The sky was gloomy and dark that day, and strong winds blew up, sweeping away some of the festive atmosphere.
At noon, dense snowflakes began to hit the ground. Within an hour, the yard was filled with snow. Yin Le did not go to the tea house today. Today was the day of the longevity exam. She accompanied him to have breakfast and sent him off.
After going to Nanfang, I started discussing with Yan Hui the expenses for the new year in the mansion.
The concubine ordered people to give many things as rewards. There were not many New Year's goods to be arranged this year, so they were finalized in about an hour.
The silk and satin shop received a batch of Suzhou and Hangzhou brocades last month. Liu An ordered a batch to be sent home and a tailor came to make tailor-made clothes for his family.
After Yin Le and Yan Hui discussed the household expenses, they went out to the main hall. People in each room were choosing brocade. Seeing Yin Le and Yan Hui come in, Jiang Junxia pulled the two of them and said, "I left a good one for you."
Satin, Yin Le, you see this cherry red satin is perfect for making feather clothes, come here and let the master tailor it for you."
Yin Le looked at the satin in her hand. It was red and very festive. She couldn't help but feel fond of it. She looked at the other satins, none of them were as good as this one. She also saw Jiang Junxia holding it and refusing to put it down, so she knew
She also liked it very much and said with a smile: "This piece of satin is very good, but I don't like to wear red clothes in the past. You can keep it and I will pick another one."
With that said, he reached out and picked out a piece of honey-colored satin, "This is what I like!"
Jiang Junxia looked at the satin in her hand and said: "That's not good, it's not good quality satin. Now that you are the boss, you will inevitably have to go out to socialize with the merchants during the Chinese New Year. Isn't it going to be a tea merchants alliance dinner soon?
You have to dress elegantly and festively."
Yan Hui smiled and said, "Sister-in-law, the one you have is more than enough to make two sets of clothes. Why don't you each make one."
Jiang Junxia also smiled and said: "I don't care, I just want to see if Yin Le is willing to wear the same thing as me."
Cross-dressing is a big taboo for women. Jiang Junxia seemed indifferent, which moved Yin Le a little. She said with a smile: "I don't care either!"
"Okay, let's take it one by one." Jiang Junxia said cheerfully.
Yin Le chose another dark green brocade for Shou Tou, and then chose a dark blue one for the old man, and gave them to the master.
Liu Sijin had been standing in front of the satin, stroking it carefully, but couldn't move her hands. Yin Le saw it and asked, "Jin'er, what do you like?"
Jin'er looked up hastily and smiled delicately, "Fifth sister-in-law, I don't know."
Yin Le picked it out, pointed at a piece of light green satin and said, "Do you like this?"
Jin'er smiled, "I like it!"
After letting the master measure it, everyone went down to have a meal laughing and joking.
Yin Le went back to his room to get a cloak and went to the south room to wait for his birthday.
As soon as Shoutou came out, he saw Yin Le waiting in the corridor, so he rushed over with a smile, hugged Yin Le, and said happily: "Sister, sir, praise me!"
Yin Le smiled and put on his cloak and hat, and asked: "Wow, you are so awesome? What did you praise sir?"
"That's a lot. My husband said that my handwriting is beautiful now, and that I can memorize books well. I also learned how to make pairs. My husband said that if I work harder, I will be as smart as him." Shou Tou said proudly.
As he said this, he looked very happy.
"Then if you use more kung fu, you will be as good as Mr. Yin Le!" Yin Le took his hand and started to leave.
"Fifth Grandma!"
Yin Le looked back and saw her husband standing behind her in a thick cotton-padded jacket with a rather respectful expression.
"Sir!" Yin Le bowed slightly.
The teacher had a shameful smile on his face and said: "The student is here to thank Fifth Grandma. What Grandma Wu said before is true. As a teacher, you must teach students in accordance with their aptitude. Now that Master Wu has made rapid progress, it can be seen that Master Wu is qualified. The student used to be too
My heart is high and arrogant."
Yin Le smiled and said, "Sir, please don't say that, Liu Ye will still need more guidance from you in the future!"
"Students must give everything they have to teach you!" Mr. bowed and saluted.
Farewell to Mr. Shou, Shou Tou and Yin Le went to the old man's room to have a meal. Since the old man saw Wen Xunxiu that day, the old man seemed to have let go of his heavy heart. He felt much more relaxed and was no longer as stern as before.
Face, so Shou Tou also likes to get along with the old man very much.
However, just a few days before the Chinese New Year, the old man suddenly fell ill.
Lin Haihai diagnosed and treated the old man, but did not prescribe any medicine. He only came out and told the Liu family: "Let nature take its course!"
Everyone was panicked. Knowing that Lin Haihai was a skilled doctor, they all begged her to diagnose and treat the old man, but Lin Haihai just shook his head indifferently.
The old man has always been the backbone of the family. Although he is stern and majestic, everyone in the family is afraid of him. However, they also know that once he is gone, the Liu family may really fall apart and it will be difficult to maintain its former glory.
Yin Le personally sent Lin Haihai out. Lin Haihai held her hand and said, "Be more open-minded. People will always take this step."
Yin Le couldn't feel at ease. Although he knew it, it was never a pleasant thing when people around him were leaving.
"It's a blessing to die at the end of a long life." Lin Haihai added, "Besides, now that the Liu family has you, he has nothing to worry about. He should be allowed to go well."
"How many days are left?" Yin Le asked hoarsely.
Lin Haihai said: "I can survive the New Year, but I can't survive the Lantern Festival."
"I got it!" Yin Le remained silent for the whole time. He walked Lin Haihai to the door and said, "Let's get together another day!"
"Okay, I'll make an appointment with them later!" Lin Haihai waved, "I'm leaving!"
Lin Haihai was walking in the bluestone alley carrying a medicine box, and his figure soon disappeared.
Yin Le leaned against the door and looked at the tall sycamore tree in front of the door. The leaves had withered and fallen. The wind was blowing loudly, and the large sycamore leaves fell like torrential rain. The north wind ruffled her hair.
Her thoughts disappeared. Even though Lin Haihai was right, people will always reach that day, but how many people can face it calmly?
Turning back, Shou Tou followed her timidly, looked at Yin Le with some panic, and asked with a choked voice: "Sister, will grandpa die?"
Yin Le reached out and hugged Shou, and said softly: "Don't be afraid, and don't be sad. No matter what happens, I will be by your side to accompany you."
Shou Tou burst into tears, hugged Yin Le hard with his cold hands, and cried, "I don't want grandpa to die, I don't want grandpa to die!"
Yin Le didn't know how to let Shoutou know that many things won't happen unless you don't want to.
