After drinking the Gui Zhi Tang, Jiang Wan took another nap, but she didn't expect that this time, she was drenched in sweat. Thus, after she got up and changed into a new set of clothes, she could no longer fall asleep.

As a result, she made Clove take a pillow and lean behind her, and just like that, she half lay on the bed, flipping through Xiao Rui's < The Classic of Virtue > book.

"Dao … Dao … Extremely Dao … Name … Name … Extremely Name …" As Jiang Wan flipped through the book, she muttered to herself.

The cover was just a slightly thicker piece of paper. There was no jacket, so it was impossible for things to be hidden inside. Then, every word on the page was printed on a board. She looked at them one by one and even tried to find something between the lines. Unfortunately, she still couldn't find anything.

Jiang Wan frowned as she thought to herself, "What exactly is the mystery behind this book?" It was worth Xiao Rui's effort.

While thinking about this, Clove ran into the room, panting slightly as she said, "I found out. The old teacher who treated Miss asked for 5 taels of silver for a doctor's fee. When Madam paid, her face turned green."

Five taels of silver!

Jiang Wan was so shocked that she sat up. This was a robbery!

"Did Madame say anything?" Jiang Wan hurriedly asked.

Lilac shook her head, bit her lips and thought for a while before saying, "I've only heard that Madam and Mother Du whispered something to each other before Mother Du nodded and left."

In other words, the Qin had said something, but no one knew about it.

When she thought of that, Jiang Wan felt a bit discouraged. In this inner chamber, she lived like a blind person, and everything was in the hands of others.

When it came to the third day of the first month, née Qin had put on a bun. She purposely wore a long jacket with red silk flowers cut into it, and gold lanterns and pendants embedded in it. She happily brought along Jiang Shu, who was similarly dressed, and prepared to follow Jiang Chuanzhong to her second uncle's house to pay her respects.

"Sister Wan'er, are you not going?" Jiang Chuanzhong was wearing a purple cashmere cape that Zhao Susu had sewn herself, and a pair of powder-soled boots. He looked heroic and heroic.

"She just happened to be in time, so stop tormenting her. It hurts my heart to eat such expensive medicine. " Madam Qin urged her husband to hurry up and get on the carriage. Previously, when she came to the capital from Zhenjiang, she only sent a farewell invitation to Cat's Ear Lane. She didn't personally pay him a visit.

Jiang Chuzhong thought this made sense. Jiang Wan's typhoid fever was just a bit better, so it wasn't good to bring it out at this time. He didn't say much and just got into the carriage heading to Cat's Ear Lane.

After using breakfast, Jiang Wan sat by the window in front of the black lacquered desk, as usual, and copied two pages of Buddhist scriptures with her hairpin.

Outside the window, the snow had stopped and it was just beginning to clear. The sun, which was barely warm, shone brightly on the white snow, making people feel very dazzling.

At some point, the red plum tree in the corner had bloomed with flowers. A few magpies were chirping along, chasing each other and making a ruckus. It was obviously very lively.

Under the tree, a little girl with a bun and thin purple cotton jacket was struggling to break a thin plum branch full of plum blossoms. With a little force, not only did she scare away the magpies, but she also shook off all the snow on her body, turning her into a snowman in an instant.

Jiang Wan sat in front of the window and watched quietly, laughing out loud with a "puchi".

At this moment, Jasmine and her mother were sitting around Jiang Wan, sewing. Hearing her words, she couldn't help but stick her head out the window.

When she saw the little purple figure at the foot of the plum tree, she couldn't help but ask, "Isn't that the little girl in Madame Zhao's room, Xiang Rui?" What is she doing here? "

"She wants to fold a plum branch." Jiang Wan smiled.

After cleaning off the snow on her body, Xiang Rui began to work even harder than before. This time, she did not spend much effort to break down the plum branch. She happily hugged it and ran back.

Jiang Wan immediately thought of the usual Zhao Su Niang who tried her best to hide herself in the crowd and never brushed off any feelings of existence, and suddenly had the thought of searching for her.

She let her mother put on her cloak, put away the stove, and then she and Jasmine went out the door.

The outside air was much colder than the air in the room. Every breath she exhaled condensed into white mist. Jiang Wan tied up the clothes she wore and quickened her steps.

Since the Qin family was not at home, Jun Yutang was much quieter than usual. Only the sounds of young and tender reading could be heard from time to time in the west wing, "There is no right and there is no right. "Green windows to Zhu Family, BMW to Fragrant Cars …"

It was "The Six Fish" from the beginning of vocal rhythm.

As Jiang Wan walked along the stone path that had been swept clean of the snow, she felt a little surprised in her heart.

She signalled to Jasmine, who was beside her, and Jasmine quickly walked forward, lifting the plywood curtain to the west wing.

The room was very warm. As soon as Jiang Wan entered, she immediately felt a faint fragrance. She looked up and saw a red plum branch stuck in a white porcelain Plum Blossom Bottle at the corner of the room.

"Four... Fourth Miss? "Why are you free today?" Hearing a sound from outside, Zhao Su Niang, who was sewing on the light clothes on the brick bed in the inner room, quickly stood up to greet them. She saw Jiang Wan, who was wearing a gray crane colored silk cloak, standing elegantly by the door.

"I was being rude." Jiang Wan smiled as she said, "There's no one in the mansion today, so idling around is also boring. I only thought about the visit from my aunt, but I don't know if she'll welcome me."

"The fourth lady is really honored to be here." Dressed in a plain white coat, Zhao Su Niang walked up to Jiang Wan with a smile and personally took off her cloak, "Fourth Miss, please don't mind me as I have nothing good to receive."

Jiang Wan smiled knowingly, indicating that she could understand.

née Qin had always been very harsh on the concubines and the children of Shu. Except for those clothes and accessories that could be used to decorate the house, she usually wouldn't give them anything too good.

Zhao Su Niang invited Jiang Wan into the room, and saw that the furnishings of a small room was extremely simple, there was nothing luxurious, the only few pieces of furniture that were not old yet had just met the daily needs.

He was wearing a piece of ephedra. Brother Sheng, who wore a close-fitting coat, was sitting cross-legged on the kang with a book in his hands. On the kang in front of him was a half-embroidered man's stocking, which was covered in blue precious flowers and delicate needlework.

On the kang behind Brother Sheng, a few budding daffodils were raised in a cracked porcelain bowl. The bowl was tender and tender, giving off an endless life force.

"I usually don't have anything to do in the house, so I do some small stuff to pass the time." Zhao Su Niang put away the sewing basket shyly and even explained awkwardly. When she saw Brother Sheng sitting there staring blankly at Jiang Wan, she hurriedly reminded him, "Brother Sheng, hurry up and call Fourth Sister."

Jiang Wan'er looked at Brother Sheng with a smile on her face. Thinking back to the day when she first arrived in the capital, he just hid behind Zhao Su Niang and wasn't willing to call her the Qin, thinking that this child was naturally reserved and shy.

"Sister Four!" Unexpectedly, when Brother Sheng saw Jiang Wan, he also sweetly smiled, revealing his white little teeth.

Jiang Wan felt as though her heart was going to melt at any moment.
