Chapter 491 Goodbye Liu Hanyue
Xiaolian hurriedly walked into the house.
"Girl, the old lady is here."
Xu Shuangxue's expression darkened, and there was doubt in her eyes.
"The old lady rarely comes to my yard. Even if she has something to do, she sends someone to invite me over. Why did she come here so suddenly today?"
Yan Shu said: "Maybe there is something important."
Regarding the Zhao Kang incident, her impression of the old lady of the Xu family was very average.
The purpose of giving her ginseng and Ganoderma lucidum before was just to prevent the old lady from getting into trouble in the marriage of Sister Xu and her eldest brother.
Moreover, she inquired in advance that the old lady suffered from confinement syndrome when she was young, and her condition has been very serious. She needs precious herbs all year round to survive. The ginseng and Ganoderma lucidum she gave her have been cured, and her condition has basically improved after taking them. You can control it.
While Yan Shu was meditating, an old lady wearing purple brocade came in slowly with the support of her mother-in-law.
After Mrs. Xu entered the door, she looked directly at Yan Shu with her sharp and unkind eyes.
This was the first time she had seen Yan Shu in person, and she was a little surprised at first sight. No wonder her brother-in-law, who was a scholar, was fascinated by her. This face is a natural fox.
Old Madam Xu hated Yan Shu because of the death of her third son, so she didn't have a good impression of her, but thinking of the purpose of her visit, she reluctantly showed a faint smile.
"This is Yan Wen's younger sister, Miss Yan Shu, right? I've long heard of Miss Yan's beautiful life, but when I see her today, she truly deserves her reputation."
Yan Shu stood up and saluted Mrs. Xu: "Old Madam, you are so complimentary."
Xu Shuangxue couldn't figure out the old lady's intention of allowing her to come here, so she stood up and stepped forward to greet her.
"Grandma just asked her servants to summon her if something happened. Why did she come here in person?"
Mrs. Xu glanced at Xu Shuangxue: "You will be getting married in two days. Grandma was quite reluctant to give up, so she wanted to come and see you in person, and prepared some makeup for you."
After finishing speaking, she looked at the maids behind her. The maids filed in, each holding a beautifully wrapped box in their hands.
Xu Shuangxue pretended to be flattered: "Brother has already prepared the dowry, why bother my grandmother to worry about it personally?"
"What your eldest brother has prepared is what he wants. What I have prepared is the dowry I brought when I married into the Xu family. I should take it as a thought for you."
"Thank you grandma for the reward."
Mrs. Xu helped Xu Shuangxue up and asked the maids to put down the boxes of items.
After the maids left, Mrs. Xu sat down with Xu Shuangxue's support.
She looked towards Yan Shu.
"Last time you and Yan Wen came together, I happened to be unwell, so I didn't see you for fear that you might get sick. Speaking of which, it was also thanks to the ginseng and Ganoderma lucidum you sent me. Since I ate that ginseng and Ganoderma lucidum, After taking Ganoderma lucidum, I feel much better, and the pain in my lower abdomen has been relieved recently. I heard from Nian'er that your father and brothers accidentally encountered this ginseng and Ganoderma lucidum when they went hunting in the mountains?"
Yan Shu sneered in his heart, it turned out that Mrs. Xu came here for her ginseng and Ganoderma lucidum.
"It was indeed my father who found it accidentally."
"How many did your father find on the mountain? Is there any left at home?"
Yan Shu smiled and said: "The old lady is joking. Ginseng and Ganoderma lucidum mostly grow in deep mountains and dense forests. You are extremely lucky to encounter one."
Mrs. Xu was a little disappointed after hearing this. She originally thought that if the Yan family had any remaining ginseng and Ganoderma, they would find a way to get it.
"That's right. Ginseng and Ganoderma lucidum of this quality are indeed rare. If your father finds these things from the mountain again in the future, I am willing to pay a high price to buy them."
Yan Shu said: "Old madam, there is no need to be so polite. When I go back and tell my father, if I find ginseng or Ganoderma lucidum on the mountain in the future, I will send it to you."
Now that Sister Xu and her eldest brother are married, there is no need for her to take out these precious herbs to please Mrs. Xu and just say a few words.
Mrs. Xu had a look of satisfaction on her face, and she thought to herself: This girl knows what is good and what is good, she must understand that with the status of the Yan family, the only way out in the future is to please the Xu family.
Having achieved her goal, Mrs. Xu stood up and left after staying for a while.
Xu Shuangxue frowned and said, "Sister Shu'er, if Uncle Yan really finds these good things in the future, just let him keep them and sell them for money. My eldest brother and I have never been very close to my grandmother, so you don't have to spend so much money."
Yan Shu smiled: "Always say a few polite words. Ginseng and Ganoderma lucidum are precious medicinal herbs. You can often encounter them."
"That's right. This old lady is a greedy master. When I learned that you gave her such an expensive gift, I felt really sorry."
Yan Shu deliberately teased her and said: "Sister Xu, you have started to favor us before you married my eldest brother. If Mrs. Xu knows your thoughts, she will definitely scold you for cheating."
Xu Shuangxue disagreed: "As a grandmother, I only have my third uncle in my heart. After my parents passed away, my brother and I were still young. As a grandmother, she never took care of us. On the contrary, my second uncle took good care of us. Now she It doesn't matter to me if I think so, and since she tried to marry me to Zhao Kang, I have the right to think that this grandmother is no longer here."
After saying that, Xu Shuangxue opened several boxes on the table.
After seeing a few things inside, she snorted disdainfully.
A porcelain vase, a pair of jade bracelets of average quality, a plain silver hairpin and a pair of silver earrings.
"The total of these things is only a few dozen taels of silver. I have already guessed that she just took this opportunity to come and fight against the autumn wind."
Yan Shu couldn't say anything. Although Sister Xu said she didn't care about this grandmother, she was still disappointed when she saw what Mrs. Xu sent her.
-
Night had fallen when Yan Shu left Xu Mansion.
Now it has entered mid-July, and the weather is getting hotter and hotter. In the past six months, there has still been no rain in Xinyang Prefecture. Even though there are mostly mountainous areas here, the groundwater is relatively abundant, but the total number of people in Xinyang Prefecture and more than a dozen counties under its jurisdiction is As many as tens of millions. In addition to the daily drinking water of the people, the crops in the fields also need water to irrigate. Now, coupled with the hot weather and the rapid decline of water levels in several major rivers, there have been cases in several counties. Water outage phenomenon.
Water resources are still very scarce this year. Fortunately, Banpo Village is located halfway up the mountain. There is a river deep in the mountain with full water levels. Currently, it is not a problem to feed a village of them.
While Yan Shu was deep in thought, the carriage suddenly stopped.
Ah Fu said outside: "Madam, someone stopped our carriage."
Yan Shu opened the curtain and looked out, using the lantern hanging above the carriage to look forward. He saw a carriage blocking the middle of the road. It was dark. He could only vaguely see that the other party's carriage was larger than hers. Much more spacious.
"Go and ask which house the other party belongs to."
Ah Fu jumped off the carriage and walked straight towards the carriage.
Wu Ming and two Xuan Sect disciples who were following in secret saw the situation in front of them and were ready to step forward at any time.
Ah Fu ran to the carriage and asked a few questions before hurried back.
"Madam, this is the carriage from the Yongding Marquis Mansion. Sitting in the carriage is Miss Liu from the Marquis Mansion. Miss Liu, please come forward and have a chat."
Yan Shu frowned. She had never seen Liu Hanyue in the past two months. She arranged for Wuming to deliver the prescriptions every month. How could Liu Hanyue suddenly stop her carriage today?
Moreover, Ah Fu knew that Liu Hanyue was a boy. He used to call him Mr. Liu, but today he calls him Miss Liu? Yan Shu vaguely felt that Liu Hanyue's appearance here was not accidental.
After thinking for a moment, she decided to go and have a look.
After getting off the carriage and coming to the other side's carriage, it was clear that the driver was He Feng.
Zefeng glanced at her silently and made a gesture of invitation.
"My master is inside, please invite Miss Yan."
