With a heavy rain, summer finally came late. During the period when Wei Zijin was recuperating in Shangshu Mansion, he did not even go to the yard of the fourth wife Liu Yiyi. He just ordered Kong Wen to send someone to take good care of him and assigned him to
Cui'er, the maid next to Liu Yiyi, also occasionally came to Lixiangyuan to report on the recent situation of the fourth wife Liu Yiyi.
The summer afternoons are always weak. When Wei Zijin hears the cicadas, he remembers Cui'er's report before, saying that Liu Yiyi has lost her appetite.
"Qiaoxiang, it's getting hotter this day. Go to the kitchen and ask Aunt Zhao to make some sour plum soup to remove the heat..."
Qiaoxiang, who was originally fanning Wei Zijin, nodded and went to the kitchen. Huan'er took the palm fan and continued to fan Wei Zijin. Seeing that the eldest lady was closing her eyes to rest, she didn't dare to disturb her.
I don’t know how long it took, but the housekeeper Kong Wen came to Lixiangyuan and was about to report something to the eldest lady, but he saw that the eldest lady was closing her eyes to rest.
Huan'er made a gesture of silence, indicating that Kong Wen should not disturb the eldest lady's rest!
As early summer comes, the eldest lady has not slept very peacefully these days. She has finally closed her eyes and rested for a while, so she does not want others to disturb the eldest lady's rest.
Kong Wen stood in Lixiangyuan hesitantly for a while, hesitating whether to leave first, and report to the eldest lady when she woke up, but Wei Zijin had already heard the movement and said, "Is there anything wrong?"
"Back to Madam, it's the housekeeper Kong Wen..." Huan'er whispered in Wei Zijin's ear. Wei Zijin slowly opened his eyes and indeed saw Kong Wenzheng's dilemma.
When Kong Wen saw the eldest lady wake up, he bowed respectfully: "Madam, I have no intention of disturbing your rest!"
"It's okay..." Wei Zijin waved his hand, knowing that he came to Lixiangyuan, he must have something to report: "If you have something, just say it!"
Kong Wen nodded and said slowly: "Mrs. I told the slave to take stock of the warehouse before. The slave has already taken people to take stock of everything in the warehouse. There are still a lot of cicada wing gauze in the big box in the warehouse.
Now summer is here and there are more mosquitoes. The slave is thinking, why not take out the cicada wing gauze and muffle the window again?"
Wei Zijin nodded slightly: "Those damaged screens really should be blurred again..."
When Kong Wen heard Wei Zijin say this, he waved his hand to the slave who was standing outside Lixiangyuan, and the slave walked to Kong Wen with a brightly-colored gauze.
"Madam, this yarn is placed separately, and it has a softer texture than the cicada wing yarn. If the lady likes it, change the yarn to the window of the lady's house..."
Before Kong Wen could finish speaking, Huan'er widened her eyes and exclaimed: "Huh? Isn't this Ruan Yanluo?"
"You know this veil?" Wei Zijin asked with a smile with a raised eyebrows.
Huan'er nodded and replied with a few knowledges: "Yes, I have been lucky enough to see it, but it was in a shop on the street. The boss told me that there is a kind of yarn that is thinner than cicada wing yarn and more suitable for making it.
The window screen can even be blocked by very small flying insects, but it is more precious than the cicada wing gauze..."
When Wei Zijin heard this, he looked closely and saw that the gauze that Kong Wen mentioned was gentle and beautiful, and the texture was much better than the cicada wing gauze.
"It's really a good thing..." Wei Zijin nodded and smiled, and ordered Kong Wen: "Kong Wen, the window screen in my room is still intact, so there is no need to change it. This soft smoke can be replaced by the fourth lady!"
