Chapter 1185 You siblings have followed a good master
Shu Yu and Meng Yunzheng quickly found another restaurant, found a quiet private room, ordered a few dishes, and then asked the waiter for writing brushes, ink, paper, and inkstones.
Before all the dishes were served, Shu Yu began grinding ink and writing a letter.
Before anything goes wrong, she needs to give the Yao family a heads-up.
Ultimately, how to handle the situation depends on the Yao family's own decision.
Shu Yu quickly finished writing and sealed the letter. Then he found a post station and the postman delivered it directly to the capital, where it was handed over to Yao Tianqin or Yao Bo.
Just as I finished doing all this, Yingxi returned.
She looked somewhat haggard, yet with a sense of relief that her worries had been resolved, and a smile appeared on her face.
When she came to Shu Yu's side, she was a little embarrassed and asked, "Miss, could I borrow ten taels of silver?"
She explained, "Brother Tan Ping and Uncle Li have both helped me a lot, and I want to buy something to give them as a thank you gift. Especially Uncle Li, who spent money on all the arrangements for my parents' burial when they were collecting their remains, and I want to repay him."
Yingxi was quite well-off before, and Shuyu was generous to her. She would receive rewards for doing good work, so she lived a very comfortable life.
But this trip was quite rare, especially since she went to the capital. She bought a lot of things and brought some practical items for her older brother, which quickly emptied her pockets.
Without saying a word, Shu Yu gave her a silver note, saying, "Ask me if you need more."
"Thank you, miss."
Ying Xi happily turned around to buy things and gave the gift to Tan Ping, who then went back, telling her to take good care of herself and to give her regards to Ying Dong.
Then Yingxi brought some things to Old Man Li. Old Man Li looked at the pork, cloth, pastries and silver in his hand, his expression complicated, and he remained silent for a long time.
He didn't refuse, and after accepting the gifts, he sighed, "You two siblings have indeed found a good master." He was generous and kind, treating his servants like family.
At the very least, even if this girl is just a maid, she has no worries about food and clothing and lives a comfortable life.
I wonder where his nephews and nieces were sold to, and what kind of lives they are living now.
Old Li shook his head, picked up the thank-you gift, and went home.
Yingxi pursed her lips and returned to Shuyu's side.
Shu Yu then inquired about the situation at Dongshantou. Ying Xi replied, "There are many wild graves at Dongshantou. Few people go there, and it's desolate. Neither my brother nor I are here. My mother's grave has been neglected and is now overgrown with weeds."
She originally wanted to pull up all the grass around the grave, but time didn't allow it. Her young lady was waiting for her in the city, and Tan Ping and Uncle Li couldn't be there to watch over her.
Yingxi returned first. "Miss, I want to move my mother's grave to next to my father's. Is that alright?"
"sure."
However, these days, the timing of relocating graves is important; if the time is not right, many people feel that the deceased will not rest in peace.
However, when Yingxi and his companions consulted a fortune teller, they discovered that the most suitable time would be in half a month, and the later time would be twenty days or a month later.
In short, there won't be any good days in the next two weeks.
Half a month? Then Shu Yu definitely can't wait here for half a month.
Yingxi couldn't possibly stay here alone. She was now the young lady's maid and bodyguard, and the young lady needed her protection on her way home.
The young lady has been lenient enough with her; it would be inhuman for her to push her luck.
Happy Lantern Festival, everyone!
The New Year is over. Starting tomorrow, I'll be back to my five-hour shift. Love you all.
