My Lord, my wife said she doesn't have time to talk to you.

Chapter 128 Yue Niang's Letter

In the blink of an eye, it is the end of December, the weather is getting colder, and another heavy snow is falling.

In the study on the second floor of Molan Pavilion, the charcoal in the brazier was burning quietly, making noises from time to time, adding a bit of vitality to the quiet room.

Huaying was flipping through a thick book, and from time to time she picked up a pen to write down useful information in the book.

Suddenly, there was a noisy sound of footsteps outside the door. Qingzhu's voice was heard: "Qinghe, where did you come from? There is so much snow on your head! You hold the tray and I will help you shake off the snow."

Then, Qing He replied softly, "No problem, I just got some things for the young lady from the backyard door."

Then there was a sound of patting the snow. Qing He said quickly, "Is the young lady asleep? Pat gently, don't wake her up."

Then, there was the sound of a door being pushed open gently.

Qing He took out a letter and a purse embroidered with peach blossoms from his sleeve, placed them gently on the table and whispered, "Miss, Uncle Wang at the back door said that a woman came to the door of your house last night and repeatedly told him to give this letter to you."

Huaying's eyes fell on the purse embroidered with peach blossoms. For some reason, she suddenly remembered the winter snow in Taohua Town, and a sense of anticipation surged in her heart.

I opened the envelope and carefully read the few short lines of words on the letter.

"Huaying, I'm Yue Niang. With the help of a nobleman a month ago, I moved the Beauty Clothing Shop to Chang'an Street. I have come to the mansion many times to ask for your help but was rejected. Today I came to the back door to try my luck. I don't know if I can see you. If you see me, I hope we can get together."

At the bottom of the letter was written a formal name: Yue Niangliu.

Huaying recalled that when she was in Taohua Town, Yue Niang's lively and generous personality brought her a lot of joy. Now that she can move to the capital, she is sincerely happy for her.

I walked to the window and opened it. A gust of cold wind blew in my face. I looked towards the direction of Chang'an Street in the distance. I saw that the houses were covered with snow again. I didn't know which house Yue Niang was in.

Suddenly, Qinghe's cheerful voice came from behind, "Miss, the two heavy snowfalls in December have provided enough water for the wheat in the fields. Next year will definitely be a bumper year."

"Yes, auspicious snow means a good harvest." Huaying said with emotion.

Huaying looked back at the purse on the table, inside of which was a ten-liang silver note. She thought that Yue Niang should be living a good life now.

A few days later, the sun was shining brightly. Huaying carefully prepared some gifts and went to Chang'an Street with Qinghe.

When they arrived at the Beauty Clothing Shop, Yue Niang, who was choosing a cloak for a young lady from a noble family, saw Hua Ying smiling at her at the door, and she was so excited that tears welled up in her eyes.

Huaying quickly wiped away her tears, pulled Huaying into the inner room, and ordered the shop assistant to greet the customers.

Huaying pushed the purse with peach blossoms in front of her and said with a smile, "The boss lady is so different. She not only gave me the purse, but also the banknotes."

Yue Niang was holding the tea for a moment, then suddenly laughed, "Haha, your uncle who guards the back door is a useful person. This is the money for the tea for the old man, and now it's returned."

Huaying smiled and said, "Don't be so polite next time. Who is your benefactor?"

Yue Niang's pretty face suddenly turned red, and she whispered, "Keep it a secret for now, he won't let me tell you."

Huaying couldn't help laughing when she saw Yueniang's red face. Yueniang gently hit her arm and reminded her, "Your laughter is totally different from that of the young lady who just came in. You should tone down your voice. Aren't you afraid that the maid will hear you and report you back?"

Huaying took a sip of tea and said, "It's okay. We are all family. People say that the capital is prosperous and charming, but I still miss the comfortable days in Taohua Town."

Yue Niang looked at Huaying. Since coming to Beijing, this girl's temperament and appearance have become better than before, but there is a hint of sadness between her eyebrows.

He comforted her, "Young lady's life is better than life in the countryside. You will miss your life now when you get married. Let's talk about this instead of the past."

Huaying looked at Yue Niang's thin face and felt distressed. She handed Yue Niang a piece of cake and took a piece herself, putting it in her mouth and chewing it slowly.

Huaying chewed some pastries while looking around and said softly, "Business seems to be good."

Yue Niang's eyes flashed with pride and satisfaction: "Of course, it's all thanks to you." She took a bite of the cake, her eyes suddenly widened, turned around and said to Hua Ying with a look of surprise: "Don't tell me, the cakes you brought are better than the ones I bought."

Yue Niang stood up, walked to the wardrobe, and carefully took out an exquisite brocade box. She sat back down opposite Huaying and opened the brocade box, which contained a set of exquisite clothes.

Yue Niang smiled and pushed the box in front of Huaying, "I have already made this dress for you. Take it home and try it on."

Huaying gently stroked the embroidery on it, knowing Yue Niang's intentions. The dimples on her face reappeared: "Boss, you are so generous. Give me a few more next time."

Seeing Huaying happy, Yue Niang was also relieved. Just as she was about to tease her, she heard the waiter's deliberately low voice coming from outside: "Shopkeeper Yue, the princess is here."

When Yue Niang heard this, the smile on her face froze instantly, and her eyes revealed a hint of surprise and nervousness. She turned to look at Hua Ying and whispered, "You rest here, I'll be back soon." After that, she quickly stood up, opened the curtain and walked out quickly.

Huaying sat quietly there, drinking tea and listening to the conversation between Yue Niang and the princess.

When he heard Yue Niang introducing the clothes to the princess, the prices of which were more expensive than each other, he couldn't help but chuckle, thinking that Yue Niang was really a shrewd businessman and was not afraid of offending anyone at all.

Suddenly, the princess asked, "Brother Fu, does this purple dress look good on me?"

Huaying was stunned for a moment, and then a familiar bass voice came, "The purple is elegant, just right for the princess."
