Chapter 697 Magistrate Xu's Little Assistant 52
When Song Jinhuan returned, the area outside the Zhuangyuan Mansion was filled with joy, and bright red lanterns were hung high.
The man stood at the bottom of the steps, filled with anticipation and joy.
Song Jinhuan jumped down from the carriage and called out, "My lord!"
Xu Qingyuan rushed forward and asked, "Has everything been taken care of?"
Song Jinhuan said with a relaxed expression, "Yes, it's resolved."
Xu Qingyuan couldn't help but say happily, "Knowing yesterday that you would be arriving today, I specially instructed the chef to prepare your favorite dishes."
Song Jinhuan was exhausted and hungry after the long journey. The moment he returned to the Zhuangyuan Mansion and saw Xu Qingyuan, his heart inexplicably calmed down.
She handed the bundle over.
Xu Qingyuan smiled and took the bag, draping it over his arm, following closely beside her.
His handsome face remained turned slightly to the side, his gaze fixed on her without restraint.
Song Jinhuan's face flushed uncontrollably; compared to before she left, this time she truly felt the other person's emotions.
On the way back to her hometown, she had questioned Sanjin about his feelings.
They really know how to hide.
After taking a bath and changing his clothes, Song Jinhuan had a hearty meal.
Afterwards, he and Xu Qingyuan walked around the Zhuangyuan Mansion twice, recounting the various events, big and small, that had occurred during this period.
“The old man in the mortuary has no children and nowhere else to go but the mortuary. I see that he is getting old and I want to take him in and provide him with a courtyard so that he can live out his old age in peace.”
"The courtyard can't be too secluded, otherwise there will be no one to talk to on weekdays."
"It shouldn't be too lively either. The old man goes to bed early, and it's not good for his health if he doesn't sleep well at night."
"Since he's all alone, I don't dare give him too much money. It would be bad if he were targeted by bad guys."
"Although my godfather and elder brother have passed away, they were both proud to be money and grain clerks during their lifetime."
"However, most of the money and grain clerks inherited their profession from their fathers, and many people who wanted to learn it had no way to do so."
"Sigh, sir, do you think I should take on a disciple? I brought back all of my godfather's notes, and I learned a lot from the insights in them. I wish more people could see them."
"After all, the more ways there are to handle various matters, the fewer injustices can be caused."
The girl was still dressed in men's clothing, her little mouth chattering incessantly.
However, unlike before, there's no need to deliberately hoarse your voice anymore.
The sound is crisp and melodious, quite pleasant to the ear.
Song Jinhuan spoke for a while, but the person next to her didn't utter a sound. She couldn't help but frown and look at him, "Sir, are you even listening to me?"
She'll get angry if you don't listen carefully!
Seeing her slightly puffed-out cheeks, Xu Qingyuan smiled and said, "I'm listening, please continue."
Song Jinhuan looked at him suspiciously, feeling that Xu Qingyuan was not quite trustworthy, with a smirking expression on his face!
"Then tell me, what did I just say?"
Xu Qingyuan replied without a second thought: "The old man's retirement at the mortuary, and Master Zheng's notes."
Song Jinhuan nodded in satisfaction and continued, "After moving my godfather's and brother's graves, I also went to Anping County."
"As soon as Prefect Lu fell from power, Yunxia agreed to sell winnowing baskets."
"The man who sells winnowing baskets has saved up a lot of money over the years. Although he is stingy with others and himself, he is exceptionally generous to Yunxia. He doesn't even blink at gold jewelry, as long as Yunxia likes it."
"And they are also willing to bring Yunxia's mother over to live with them."
"Oh dear, the Yun family mother and daughter have finally seen the light at the end of the tunnel."
The girl was very talkative, and Xu Qingyuan, fearing that he would be questioned again, tried to speak several times but failed to get a word in edgewise, looking hesitant the whole time.
