Chapter 238 Complaints Next Door
Fu Chengyun asked: "Are you sure it's less?"
Ye Mingzhu nodded: "These pictures were drawn some time ago. There are some flaws, so I just put them in the drawer."
Every time she finishes a drawing, she puts the finished product in her space and the other drafts in a drawer. Looking at the drafts before drawing helps her find inspiration.
"Who would take a few pieces of soil from you?" Fu Chengyun thought it was impossible: "Did you remember it wrongly?"
"If I remember correctly, there are indeed fewer pictures," Ye Mingzhu flipped through the pictures, "about ten are missing."
If one or two were missing, she might not notice, but with so many missing, it was quite obvious.
"Could it be that someone thought these pictures contained maps and took them away?" Uncle Yan guessed.
"How is it possible? These pictures are so messy." Fu Chengyun thought it was impossible.
"Didn't you think it was a map when you got it just now?" The more Ye Mingzhu thought about it, the more it made sense, but she also felt that this behavior was stupid.
"Could it be that someone really used these pictures as maps?" Fu Chengyun did not admit his previous behavior.
Ye Mingzhu rolled her eyes and shook the blueprint in her hand: "We'll know if it's true or not after trying it tomorrow."
Fu Chengyun and Uncle Yan both looked at her, not understanding what she meant.
Ye Mingzhu looked back and said, "It's getting late. Let's all go back to sleep. We just lost some sketches, not the finished jewelry drawings. It's okay."
Uncle Yan saw that Ye Mingzhu had an idea, so he didn't ask any further questions. He yawned in cooperation and walked out first.
"Wait," Fu Chengyun called out to Uncle Yan, "Uncle Yan, why did those people come to the study? And they looked through all the books. Could it be that the treasure they were looking for was a book?"
Ye Mingzhu didn't expect that this playboy was so thoughtful. When she saw the books being turned over, she guessed that the thief was looking for the books.
Uncle Yan naturally guessed it, but he couldn't figure out what kind of books in Jiang Hongyu's house would attract those people's attention.
"Do you have any ancient books at home?" Fu Chengyun asked Ye Mingzhu tentatively.
Ye Mingzhu smiled bitterly: "We have very few books here, let alone ancient books. Look at the books in this room, they are all for enlightenment. These were bought for Yun An by Brother Yu after we got married."
"There aren't many Tongsheng (students) here, and even fewer Xiucai (scholars). Few families have books, let alone ancient books."
Fu Chengyun looked at Uncle Yan, who nodded. "There are very few educated people here. As you said, I guess there might not be any in the entire county, let alone the town."
Fu Chengyun frowned even deeper. He couldn't figure out what those two people were looking for.
"Okay, don't think about it for now. Since Mingzhu has an idea, let's see what the situation is. Let's go back to sleep today."
Uncle Yan reminded them that it was getting late and it was not appropriate for them to stay in the study all the time.
Fu Chengyun couldn't figure it out, so he had to go back to the front yard with Uncle Yan to sleep.
Ye Mingzhu and Aunt Jiang went back to their room to rest. As soon as she opened the door, Aunt Jiang asked, "Mingzhu, are you going to look for Mr. Lin?"
"Yes, but I'm not asking Mr. Lin for help, I'm complaining." There was a hint of cunning in Ye Mingzhu's eyes.
Aunt Jiang didn't ask any more questions and went to her room to rest.
The next day, after breakfast, Ye Mingzhu went to the Lin family's house next door.
Mr. Lin's family had just finished breakfast, and the servants had just taken the dishes away.
"Mingzhu, why are you here so early today? Have you had breakfast?" Mr. Lin came up to her with a smile.
"I've eaten. Am I here too early and disturbing my sister's meal?" Ye Mingzhu felt a little embarrassed.
"It's not early, it's not early. It's a good time for us to sit together. Hongye, go and pour us a cup of tea." Lin Dongjia instructed the maid beside him.
"Miss, you have just had a meal, so it's not appropriate for you to drink tea. Otherwise, you and Madam Jiang can go for a stroll in the garden." The woman in the brown dress standing behind Lin Dongjia had a look of disapproval on her face.
"Nurse, I just ate and don't want to move." Lin Dongjia acted coquettishly towards the woman.
"Or I can help the young lady go out for a walk. It's not good for your health to sit down now." The woman's expression softened, but she didn't give in at all.
Ye Mingzhu looked at Lin Dong's wet nurse and found that she looked very similar to Hongdou.
Lin Dongjia wanted to act coquettishly with the nurse, but the nurse said calmly, "I have prepared some dried plums. You can eat them when the young lady comes back."
Lin Dongjia immediately changed his words: "I have to go out for a walk after dinner. Mingzhu, please accompany me for a walk outside."
Ye Mingzhu's mouth curled up, she thought that Mr. Lin was very cute.
The wet nurse was also a little helpless. Since the young lady became pregnant, her personality had changed a lot, becoming more and more like that before she got married.
"I'll support the young lady, and we'll get some dried plums when we come back." The wet nurse stepped forward and helped Lin Dongjia walk outside.
There was a small pavilion in the garden of Lin's house, and the three of them walked to the pavilion.
As soon as Mrs. Lin opened her mouth, the nurse said, "Why don't you and Madam Jiang sit here? I'll have someone bring up some hot tea and snacks."
"There are also dried plums." Lin Dongjia reminded.
"Okay, I'll go get the dried plums now." The nanny's face was full of pampering.
She spread the mat she brought with her in the pavilion and waited until Mr. Lin sat down before she went out to call for help.
"Excuse me, sister. This is the temper of the nanny. She's afraid that I'll get hurt."
Lin Dongjia had a smile on his face and looked much rounder than before.
"Are you showing off, sister?" Ye Mingzhu smiled and said, "I know you have a good wet nurse."
"My wet nurse always treated me like her own daughter. When she found out I was pregnant, she came to see me immediately. After she came, she wanted to take care of everything."
When Mr. Lin talked about what had happened during this period, his expression became much more lively. Ye Mingzhu was listening with a smile beside him.
She didn't stop until the wet nurse came back.
"Have I talked too much? I don't know what's wrong with me lately, I just can't stop talking." Lin Dongjia shook his head, "Is there something wrong with my sister coming here?"
The wet nurse walked out of the pavilion without waiting for Ye Mingzhu to speak.
"Sister, my house was robbed last night." Ye Mingzhu's smile disappeared and was replaced by a worried look.
Lin Dongjia's eyes widened and his voice became louder: "Did you lose anything? How are your family members?"
"No one is wrong." Ye Mingzhu shook her head. "Just the sketch I drew is lost."
"Sketch?" Lin Dongjia's eyes were full of confusion. "Sketch of jewelry?"
"Yes, every time I finish a drawing, I put the sketch in the drawer. I haven't had any inspiration recently, and the drawings I drew can't be used, so I put them all in the drawer. But yesterday, after Uncle Yan and the others chased the thieves away, I found that the drawings in the drawer were gone."
Ye Mingzhu looked worried: "Sister, do you think someone might have taken my pictures and counterfeited our products?"
"Who dares?" Lin Dongjia stood up and slammed the table, his eyes wide open.
Ever since Ye Mingzhu started drawing the drawings for Linglong Pavilion, Linglong Pavilion's business has improved by half. We cannot let others get those sketches.
