Sure enough, Ye Erniu continued, "When we all got together, it was Guihua who finally came up with a solution."
Ye Erniu deliberately stopped talking.
Ye Panjiu wasn't in a hurry; she was very patient.
Old Mrs. Ye slapped him across the face, "Hurry up and tell me, stop being so mysterious!"
"Okay, okay, I'll tell you."
Ye Erniu quickly continued, "Guihua imitated the tone of our county magistrate and wrote a letter, which she had Brother Cheng deliver to the prefect of Qingzhou."
Ye Panjiu couldn't help but laugh, "Guihua is quick-witted."
Old Mrs. Ye was puzzled. "If I write a letter, will the prefect dare to offend the powerful families and side with us?"
Sun raised her head and smiled, "Mother, this is what makes Guihua so amazing. I don't know what she wrote in her letter, but the prefect was incredibly polite the moment he arrived. He personally escorted Brother Cheng back, apologized to Brother Lai, and gave him a lot of expensive medicine."
Ye Panjiu asked, "Did Guihua tell Chu Guan about this after she returned?"
Madam Sun nodded repeatedly, a different meaning in her eyes. "I told you, I told you as soon as I got back. The county magistrate came to our house again, saying he shamelessly wanted to eat the dishes my sister-in-law makes."
The moment Ye Panjiu met that gaze, she immediately understood.
She couldn't help but look towards Liu's direction.
Liu and Ye Cuihua both smiled, still feeling proud of the osmanthus.
It's a bit slow, but being slow is a good thing.
Grandma Ye patted Ye Erniu's arm and said, "When you're out and about, Guihua is quick-witted, so listen to her and protect her. Safety is the most important thing."
Ye Erniu nodded repeatedly, "Mother, I know everything."
Because she had drunk some wine and was in a good mood, Ye Panjiu unusually did not take a nap at noon.
The family sat there chatting, the cups and plates were all cleaned, and then they brought out some melon seeds, which they ate while talking.
It wasn't until Old Man Ye got too old and couldn't hold his liquor, collapsing onto the table, that Ye Erniu helped him to his bedroom.
Ye Panjiu was worried and followed along the way.
After Old Man Ye lay down on the bed, she went back to her own room.
She looked at the plum blossom branch sprouting in the middle of the courtyard, and walked closer to see that it had sprouted a tender green bud, which meant it had survived the cold winter.
It was also thanks to the Ye family's good care.
Ye Panjiu looked around at the familiar bricks and tiles, and couldn't help but walk to the window with the peach blossoms.
The window was open, and you could see the interior furnishings.
Compared to when she left in February, a large piece of apricot-yellow jade stone has been added and placed on the desk. Even with her back to the desk, you can't tell what it is.
Ling'er's room was filled with a great many things. On the table were many of her stone carving tools, and on the walls were neatly arranged all kinds of rare and precious stones.
Ye Panjiu smiled slightly; she missed her two daughters very much.
The two went to Bailu Academy and wouldn't be able to go home until dinner time.
We'll see it soon if we wait a little longer.
Mrs. Sun came looking for her. "So you were hiding here. It's so good to be home."
I used to stay at home every day, year after year, and I always wanted to go out and see the world.
After being away from home for a long time, I kept missing home.
It truly reflects the saying that Guihua often says: "Life is never perfect."
Ye Panjiu took her arm and led her to the carriage. "This carriage contains gifts that Su Yan prepared for everyone, and this carriage contains the gifts I brought."
As she spoke, she took out two boxes and handed them to Mrs. Sun.
Sun opened it very quickly; she never couldn't resist opening it immediately.
Inside the box was a string of red musk beads, topped with a yellow jade hairpin with gold-threaded pear blossom design.
The box was filled with various kinds of handkerchiefs, sachets, pouches and other small embroidered items.
Sun happily picked up a sachet, "The pattern seems to be the same as the one Su Yan gave me before?"
Ye Panjiu smiled and nodded, "I saw that you liked the embroidery, so I specially asked someone in the palace to get some of the ones she made in large quantities."
Mrs. Sun smiled brightly, "Oh, my little sister is so kind! This is enough for me to use for many years!"
Ye Panjiu patted her hand, "Use it, and you can also learn more from it."
"no problem!"
Ye Panjiu then pointed to another carriage, "Su Yan gave you cloth, this time it's palace silk, four bolts in one room, each with a different style, as well as some jade ruyi, agate pillows, and necklaces for children, etc."
Mrs. Sun lifted the carriage curtain and gasped in amazement, "These are all extravagant projects."
This is enough clothing for the Ye family for a year.
My parents would never wear clothes made of this cloth to the fields.
That's such a waste.
After the two arrived at the lobby with their gifts and distributed them,
Ye Panjiu then took out three slender boxes and took out three rolled-up letters wrapped in bright yellow cloth.
The moment the bright yellow color appeared, the Ye family understood.
These are items related to the royal family.
Only the royal family could use items in bright yellow.
Ye Panjiu placed one scroll in Old Madam Ye's hand, gave one scroll to Madam Liu, and one scroll to Madam Sun.
"This is a letter from His Majesty's trusted confidant; by using this, all legal troubles can be absolved."
It must be admitted that this was definitely a privilege, and a great benefit of being on good terms with the imperial power.
Grandma Ye was unwrapping the cloth to look inside when she heard this, and quickly wrapped the cloth back up. "Oh no, this must be enshrined and properly worshipped."
Ye Panjiu smiled and said, "When you worship your mother, put the paper away and don't let anyone else take it."
Qingshui Village was too remote, and if she wanted to fulfill her wishes, she had to travel frequently.
He then asked Shengping for the letter and bought more supplies for his family to protect them from risks.
Sun handed the soft, light cloth bag to Ye Erniu.
Ye Erniu took it carefully, but Sun immediately took it back, saying, "No, I'm even more worried about leaving it with you. Let Guihua keep it when she comes back."
Thinking about it this way, it turns out that none of the women in the second wife's household were particularly meticulous.
Lei'er is careless, and Ming'er only has books in his eyes now, ignoring everything else. As for his father, Ye Erniu, he's even more careless.
So my daily routine is to start by finding things before doing anything else.
Ye Panjiu sipped her tea, watching everyone happily chat about their gifts.
After Sun took out her needle and thread, preparing to make clothes for Old Lady Ye, she patted Sun's shoulder and stood up.
"Alright, I'll go check on my brother's horse farm now."
Jiang Leyue also mounted her horse.
The Ye family has many horses now, not to mention that Ye Panjiu will have four horses when she returns. She gave the coachman some silver and sent him home.
Heng Tong stared coldly at Jiang Leyue on horseback.
Jiang Leyue frowned in confusion, "What are you doing?"
Heng Tong countered, "If you can ride a horse, why do you insist on taking a carriage?"
Jiang Leyue said matter-of-factly, “Although I can ride a horse, I don’t like riding in front of people. It’s more comfortable to sit in a carriage.”
Heng Tong gritted her teeth, "Then if you wear a veil, you won't be in public anymore, right? It makes me ride a horse and wait for you every day."
Jiang Leyue was taken aback for a moment, then smiled, "Oh, right. In the past, it was always the maids who put the veil on me, but I had forgotten about it. From now on, I can ride a horse with you when we travel."
Heng Tong shook his head, speechless.
With Jiang Leyue accompanying her for the two legs of the journey, she was so bored on the slow horseback that she almost fell asleep.
