Huang Yuezhen closed the account book, put it away, and left the garment making room. When she came out of the garment making room, Huang Yuezhen raised her head and looked at the sky. It was already midnight.
Since the record could not be found, it seemed that the only option was to find her directly. The most likely person was her. Huang Yuezhen continued to move forward in the darkness.
Almost all the lights in Zijingyuan were extinguished, and even the maids had gone to bed at this time.
"Woooooooo..." Before Huang Yuezhen reached the destination, she heard someone crying. She took a closer look and saw that this was Aunt Mu's personal maid Dongxue. What happened in the middle of the night?
A man was sitting at the door crying.
After a while, the door behind Dongxue opened, and another maid came out of the room where they lived.
That maid was Dongmei's servant to Du Jingwen. She and Dongxue entered Du's house together, and they were very good friends.
"Dongxue, what's wrong with you? Why are you sitting at the door crying in the middle of the night?" Dongmei closed the door and asked Dongxue in a low voice.
Dongxue didn't expect Dongmei to come out. She wiped her tears and said, "No, it's nothing."
"Dongxue, is your father's illness serious again?" Dongmei still knows a little bit. Usually Dongxue cries because of the people in her family.
Dongxue nodded and shed tears again, "Dongmei, do you know everything? My father's illness is serious and he needs a lot of money."
"Where do I have ten gold coins? How about I lend them to you first?" Dongmei stretched out her hand and patted Dongxue's shoulder and said.
Dongxue shook her head, "Ten gold coins are not enough. Even all my savings are not enough."
"How much is the difference? Dongxue, I only have ten gold coins. The other money was taken home last month, and I have no choice." Dongmei asked.
Dongxue bit her lip, "I'm still short of more than a thousand gold coins. But I don't even have that much."
More than a thousand gold coins is an astronomical figure for a poor family like Dongxue Dongmei. Their monthly salary in Du Mansion is only five coins, which is only sixty gold coins a year. The two of them came to Du Mansion for only two dollars.
Year, Dongxue was asked to get more than a thousand gold coins at this time. How could she get it?
"So much? More than a thousand gold coins? Why does your father's disease cost so much money? Why don't you find another doctor?" Dongmei was surprised.
"I've seen many doctors, and they all require almost that much. My father's disease has worsened, and ordinary medicinal materials cannot be used. Only more expensive ones can be effective, otherwise we will have to wait for death." Dongxue's eyes were red from crying.
Okay, when I said this, I started crying again.
"Then what should we do? How about we ask Madam to get some?" Dongmei was also worried, where would they have such much money?
Dongxue shook her head, "It's not like you don't know Madam, how could she give us more? But, Dongmei, please help me see if I can exchange some money for these clothes?"
As Dongxue said this, she took out the clothes in her arms and handed them to Dongmei, "This clothes belongs to the madam. The corner here is broken, so the madam doesn't want it anymore. She asked me to take it and dispose of it. I
I saw that the fabric of this dress was very good, so I kept it since I couldn't bear to throw it away."
Dongmei opened the clothes and found that the clothes were indeed missing a corner. However, there seemed to be something missing at the bottom of the clothes, and there were a lot of threads on it...
