Chapter 442 No Grudges with Money
Nan Yan took it hesitantly and asked, "Who asked you to deliver it?"
The young eunuch smiled apologetically and said, "He is a servant in your household."
“…”
"I heard that your mother and brother had someone send it here."
"oh……"
Nan Yan nodded, and the young eunuch turned and left.
She looked down at the small purse, opened it with confusion, and took out a silver note from it.
One hundred taels.
Even though Ran Xiaoyu was calm and composed, she couldn't help but open her eyes wide at this moment: "So much money?!"
Nan Yan's brows also furrowed.
Gu Tingchun and Si Muyun sent her money, and it was a generous amount of one hundred taels of silver, which was enough for her salary for several years.
It's so weird.
Ran Xiaoyu asked, "Is it your aunt and your brother who want to reconcile with you?"
Nan Yan was silent for a while and said, "This is not like them."
"Why?"
"Because... they are so thoughtful." Nan Yan raised her head and looked at her, a faint smile on her lips: "They are nice to me, but it's just words. How could they give me so much money?"
"So, what's going on?"
Nan Yan was silent for a while, then put the money in her pocket: "I don't know, just take it first and we'll talk later."
Ran Xiaoyu looked at her amusedly: "Do you really want to accept it?"
"Why not?" Nan Yan said with a smile, "I have a grudge against them, but not over money."
“…”
"Besides, going to Peking, to an unfamiliar place, will definitely cost money. This can be considered as a timely help."
Ran Xiaoyu smiled and shook her head.
At this time, the time has come.
At the command of the people outside, their carriage began to sway forward. The emperor had already issued an edict to let the left chancellor of the Secretariat supervise the country and manage government affairs. Therefore, when the carriage left the palace gate, Nan Yan could still see He Yi leading the ministers kneeling on the ground behind him.
But soon, their figures disappeared from sight.
This group of people galloped through the city which had not yet fully awakened in the early morning, but there were also some people who kept an eye on the movements in the palace and saw this scene.
Si Muyun was sitting on the second floor of a small building, watching the group of people walking away in the snow.
"I didn't expect the emperor to leave the palace for a tour so soon."
The person who was speaking was sitting opposite Si Muyun. He was a middle-aged man with a long beard. Although he was thin and only wore a simple long robe, his pair of sparkling eyes made him look particularly shrewd.
He is Gu Tingchun’s younger brother, Gu Tingqiu.
The Gu family is a famous family in Henan, and he is also a famous scholar.
Because his nephew was going to become an official, he went south to Nanjing after the New Year.
Si Muyun looked at the team with a gloomy expression: "Besides, they brought that girl Si Nanyan with them."
Gu Tingqiu asked, "Why, you still can't figure it out?"
"Can I figure it out?"
Si Muyun's eyes were filled with resentment as he said, "I heard that the Emperor has dismissed the Minister of Works. I heard that he had originally intended for me for this position."
“…”
"But after a long talk with that girl, he changed his mind."
“…”
"That girl must be behind this!"
Gu Tingqiu said calmly, "But didn't you want to become Master Jian's disciple? Now that you've got your wish, isn't that great?"
"Uncle!" Si Muyun said anxiously, "I want to become Jian Tongguang's disciple. My ultimate goal is to become an official."
“…”
"Now that I have this opportunity, but someone is blocking me, how can I not be angry?"
