Gu Nian returned to her room and opened the letter.
She did indeed have that feeling of receiving a letter from her boyfriend when they were in love, and she couldn't wait to see what he had written.
Li Muyan wrote a lot of sweet words in the letter before finally mentioning the gloves.
His explanation was that he had been asking Zhu Mingsheng for help with the ice silk gloves for the past two days, because his mother had bought them for him last year.
He told Gu Nian that these items came from the palace, and there were only three sets available outside. The other two sets were in Jiangnan, where Zhu Mingsheng's family ran boats. He told him to have someone go to Jiangnan to inquire whether they could buy them.
Gu Nian guessed that the gloves were valuable, but she didn't expect them to be so few.
It came from the palace, so she could just trade it with that self-aggrandizing Uncle Ye.
I don't know if there are any left.
Gu Nian couldn't help but read through the sweet words again.
She felt quite happy inside.
Li Muyan isn't one to say sweet words directly; he can write poetry and lyrics.
Although Gu Nian was a science student, she had been taught cultural subjects by Gu Shouxin for a year, so she could still understand some poems about love.
So this is what it feels like to receive a love letter from someone you don't dislike!
Hearing a noise outside, Gu Nian put the letters into a small box. The box contained more than twenty letters written to her by Li Muyan. She planned to put them away one by one, not knowing why she would put them away, but she just wanted to do it.
When Gu Nian went outside, she saw that Gu Xin, the other two, Meng Meng, and Gu En had returned.
"Enzi, why do you look so listless?" Gu Nian asked with a smile as she looked at Gu En.
"Second sister, I'm suffering! Every day I'm controlled by the books and homework given by second uncle, and I'm also made to do chores by Meng-ge. I wish I had eight more hours every day! Alas, if you don't work hard when you're young, you'll regret it when you're old! I should have started studying when I was three years old, then I wouldn't have so many problems now! No, I'm going to sit by the fire and take a nap!" Gu En looked bitter and resentful. After saying that, she went into the house, leaned against the table, covered herself with the tablecloth, and took a warm nap.
Gu Xin made a few jokes about Gu En and then went to wash her hands.
Meng Meng went to the second wife's old house to put away the utensils.
Gu Hui came out of the kitchen, sleeves rolled up, and asked, "Finally received a reply from your sweetheart? Are you happy now?"
Gu Nian stepped forward and took Gu Hui's arm: "Oh, Sister Huihui, please don't make fun of me. By the way, Li Muyan said that Aunt Luo bought him those gloves. He only had one pair, and he gave it to me. He asked his friend Zhu Mingsheng, whom you've met, the one who works on ships, to go to Jiangnan to ask. I just don't know if he can buy them."
Gu Hui slapped her hand away: "Hey, you haven't washed your hands since you came back, don't rub them on my clothes. Also, those gloves are your token of love, if you ask me, one pair is enough. Why go to all that trouble? Xinxin, Sisi, and I don't need them."
Gu Nian: "How could that be?..."
Gu En, who was in the main room, couldn't hear what was said afterward because her two older sisters had left.
Gu En sat up, resting her chin on her hands, her brows furrowed.
That Li Muyan actually said the gloves were a gift from him? How shameless!
I personally placed it in my second sister's room.
If the waiter hadn't said anything, would this person have been allowed to claim the money fraudulently?
Gu En thought that Xue Qianyu had been very kind to him when he was in the village, and had even taught him his studies, just like Brother A Yuan!
After hesitating for a moment, Gu En decided to write a letter to Xue Qianyu to tell him about it.
How can we let someone else claim it fraudulently?
