Planning to marry the third master

After breakfast, Yuan Jinjin went to the kitchen to make tea for Yu Yaohui.

Yu Yaohui took it and said, "Thank you."

Yuan Jinjin smelled a faint scent of powder, which she hadn’t smelled just now due to the aroma of breakfast, but now that she smelled it carefully, it was still a bit strong.

The smell of powder only comes from women, and you have to be close to them. Yu Yaohui said he is a widower. Do you have the habit of burning incense at home? But incense does not have the smell of powder.

Yu Yaohui was also thirsty, so he took the tea and drank it, then said, "Have you considered what I told you?"

Yuan Jinjin glanced at Yu Yaohui. After all, she was not familiar with the man in front of her, so she said, "Brother Yu, I appreciate your kindness, but I will let the nominal position be forgotten."

"What's wrong? Aren't you afraid that you and Nian Nian will be unsafe?"

"Don't worry about that, Brother Yu. After all, if you think about it carefully, we have only known each other for a short time. Besides, Brother Yu will get married in the future. I can't delay you."

Yu Yaohui said: "What if I don't marry again?"

He looked at Yuan Jinjin seriously, with a loving look in his eyes, and his meaning was obvious.

Yuan Jinjin frowned and said, "Brother Yu doesn't want to be just a figurehead."

Seeing that people were on guard, Yu Yaohui suddenly lowered his eyes and acted impulsively, saying, "Don't get me wrong, I really want to take care of you and your son. Since you don't have this idea, then forget it. I will come to see you and your son from time to time, and also talk to the neighbors outside and ask them to look after you more."

Yuan Jinjin hurriedly said, "Brother Yu, you don't have to be like this. After all, we are not familiar with each other."

"Not familiar? Nian Nian calls me daddy, and you still think we are not familiar?" He said with a sad look, stood up and said: "I'm sorry, I thought too much."

Yuan Jinjin said quickly: "I didn't mean that."

Yu Yaohui said: "It's good that you don't mean that. I will still come to see Nian Nian from time to time."

"it is good."

Yu Yaohui left, wondering if he had been too reckless, but he still had to find a way to add fuel to the fire.

Afterwards, he went to another house, where he often sneaked in. The woman was a young lady, still charming. When she saw Yu Yaohui, she didn't indulge him. Instead, she asked someone to serve her and took the person directly to the inner room. Yu Yaohui was obedient...

Afternoon

Feng Zhuohua took Tangtang to Wutong Lane, followed by a group of people, a rare sight in Lin'an.

Knock on the door.

Not long after, Aunt Yuan opened the door and saw Feng Zhuohua with the child. She hurriedly said, "Third Madam, please come in."

Feng Zhuohua nodded and said, "You also know Chao Er, tell him what happened yesterday."

Yuan Jinjin didn't feel comfortable troubling the Third Master's people, but she had lost a lot of money and didn't want to let the thieves get away with it, so she said, "I took the kids out yesterday and came back to a mess. I later reported it to the police, and the constable said the door was broken in by an axe, and it was done by experienced hands. There were also several footprints in the house, and it looked like a group of people committed the crime, and they specialize in this kind of thing."

Chao Er knew what was going on and asked, "What did the government say?"

Yuan Jinjin said, "The detective said to look among the gangsters in Lin'an, but there is little hope of finding him."

"How much was lost?"

"More than eight hundred taels?"

"Do you have a ticket number?"

"There are those that bring in wealth and treasure."

Nodding, Chao Er asked, "Are there any jewelry missing?"

"Have."

"What kind of jewelry is it? Tell me and I'll have someone wait in the pawnshop to see it."

"There are several hairpins and hairpins, none of which are valuable. One of them is an orchid hairpin, which was given to me by the young master before. It is a little more valuable and easier to identify."

Chao Er had figured it out, and said to Feng Zhuohua, "Third Madam, I will go and do the work."

Feng Zhuohua nodded and said, "Go ahead."

A group of people left, leaving behind a maid and a guard. Feng Zhuohua said, "This is Aunt Yu, and the one behind is Chao Shi, whom you also know. They are here with their luggage, so you should arrange their accommodation first."

Yuan Jinjin nodded and took people to the backyard to settle down. There were no beds, so Chao Shi told her not to worry about anything as they would prepare it themselves.

Yuan Jinjin knew the ability of Third Master's subordinates to do things, which really made her worry less.

When they came out again, Tangtang and Nian Nian were playing together. Tangtang said in a soft voice, "I am your aunt Tangtang." The two are two years apart in age, so Tangtang looks like a little adult.

This made Feng Zhuohua and Yuan Jinjin laugh. It was because Tangtang was older than her, so she would be able to speak after being taught once.

When Nian Nian saw someone who was about her own age, she was a little timid at first, but now she went over and took the person's hand and said, "I have something fun, let's play together."

"What's fun? Let me see." After saying that, Tangtang followed people to where Nian Nian often stayed to play.

Feng Zhuohua talked to Yuan Jinjin about family matters and children, and they both tacitly agreed not to mention the Xie family or Xie Xinnian.

At night, Feng Zhuohua returned home and felt worried. She said to Luo Mingrou, "Mom, what do you think we should do about this? They shouldn't be away from home all the time."

Luo Mingrou said: "What else can we do? Marry the daughter of a noble family and bring the mother and daughter back."

Hmm? What her mother said was different from what Xie Yunxiao said. Xie Yunxiao could handle everything easily.

Feng Zhuohua was worried. She felt sorry for that kind of woman. Her tenacity was admirable. She said, "Let her go back and be a concubine. It would be better for her to be free outside."

"Can you take care of them forever?"

"That's not the case. Let's see what Xin Nian thinks first."

Someone was sent to Xie's house that day to deliver the message, but unfortunately, Xie Xinnian had already arrived in Lin'an.

......

Xie Xinnian only sleeps well when he is extremely tired. He has found his own way to sleep well in the past few days, but it makes those who follow him miserable.

When I woke up, it was already dark. It was obviously not easy to find anyone at this time. I looked at the night sky of Lin'an and it was not much different from that of Jinling.

Xie Xinnian couldn't sleep as day and night were reversed. At night, Xiao Jin was also wandering outside, avoiding the patrolling guards. He looked at the alleys. It was quiet and he didn't know if it was nearby.

It is said that my third uncle is also in Lin'an, but he never tells me where he lives. If I had known this earlier, I would have asked him earlier.

I walked around for half the night and took a nap when it was dawn. That day I asked the nearest shopkeeper to help me get a map of Lin'an.

Lin'an City is so big, and he didn't know whether the person was hiding in the city or in the surrounding areas. He looked at the people he brought with him and was afraid that it would take some effort to divide the area, divide them into groups of two, and knock on doors one by one to look for the person. He didn't believe that they would not be able to find the person in this way.

In just one day, Yuan Jinjin returned to the time when she was served by others. She felt comfortable and leisurely, just like when she was in Xie's house. Someone brought her hot water, prepared food, and washed her clothes. It really made her free and relaxed.

In the past, she was idle in Xie's house. When she was idle, she felt that life had no meaning. The only meaning was to wait for Xie Xinnian to come back. Fortunately, she had waited for him for so many days that she could be at peace without him. The past scenes seemed like the previous life.
