Ulanara watched everyone in the backyard say goodbye and go back to their respective courtyards, and then he weakly supported his temples with his hands.
"Qiu Mei, let's have breakfast. Today, we have to go to Qiong Yuyuan to sort out my sister's belongings."
Qiu Mei watched the servants in the courtyard serve the meal, while Jiang Fuhai went to the front courtyard to find out when the master would return.
Nian Shilan accidentally learned a few days ago that October 15th was the anniversary of the death of his deceased direct descendant Fujin. Thinking of the last life, Ulanara always had the affection of her deceased sister to protect her. Nian Shilan wanted to see it. In this life, how long can her sister's love last for her?
Xiao Linzi was learning how to read with Zhou Anhai during the day, and was caught by An San at night to learn boxing. Fortunately, he was young and energetic.
Songzhi secretly told Nian Shilan.
"Master, I haven't seen you. Xiao Linzi has been eating really well these days. In the past, you would always have a lot left over from your regular dishes. However, not a single bit was left in each meal these days, and most of it went into Xiao Linzi's stomach. . The slave girl just discovered yesterday that Xiao Linzi is now more than half a head taller than the slave girl, and the eunuch clothes she just changed into two months ago are much shorter."
Nian Shilan smiled.
"That's good. You just need to eat more. Xiao Linzi is too thin. It will be more useful when he learns some boxing and kicking skills."
Nian Shilan stayed behind closed doors after breakfast, and Xiao Linzi only claimed that Xi Fujin was looking at the account books.
"I can't go out today, lest I get into trouble with my master."
Nian Shilan ate melon seeds leisurely. He touched the storybook and flipped through two pages. When he saw that it was a story about a talented man and a beautiful woman, he sneered and threw it aside.
She was so bored that she actually opened the account book and took a look at it. She became interested just by looking at it. The Spring and Autumn writing style in this account book was very similar to what she had experienced when she was co-manager of the Sixth Palace in her previous life.
Ulanara had breakfast and was helped by Qiu Mei to Qiongyu Garden.
She stood at the door and looked up at the plaque hanging at the door of the courtyard, Qiong Yuyuan, which was written by the master himself when her sister was still alive.
When a servant saw Fujin coming, he stepped forward and opened the courtyard door. The courtyard looks clean and exquisite, and even the pomegranate tree planted when my sister moved into the house is well taken care of. The pomegranate is a symbol of many children and good fortune.
When Uranala stepped into the courtyard, the scenes she saw were all scenes from when her sister was still alive. It was as if she could see her sister's smile when she opened the door curtain of the main room.
Qiu Mei supported Uranala and said softly.
"Following your instructions, I ordered people to clean it several days in advance. The furnishings in the house are still as they were when I was alive. Fujin's favorite spices are still in the closet. The clothes in the cabinet are... But it smells very good. Master Fujin, would you like to go in and take a look?"
Ulanara smiled and slowly entered the bedroom.
She sat on the bed in her dormitory, touching the clothes on the bed with her bare hands. The finest Huguang brocade is as soft as water when touched in the hand. Three years have passed and it is still bright and beautiful. It is worthy of being a tribute from the emperor.
With such good materials, the former Ulanara could not even imagine how comfortable it would be to wear it.
After touching the clothes, Ulanara looked at the ornaments placed on the bed. All he saw were luxurious treasures and jades, which had been carefully maintained by craftsmen and were shining with luster.
Ulanara raised her hands again and stared at the pair of jade bracelets on her wrists. She remembered that when she first entered the house, her master gave her these jade bracelets and said to her affectionately.
"I wish we could meet each other day and night in such a circle."
Ulanara pulled away from his memories and saw Yinzhen standing at the door.
"I'm here to say hello to my master. I've met him."
Uranala stood up and faced Yinzhen.
Yinzhen's face was unusually dark and unclear.
"Get up. Why is Fujin here? Didn't I say that no one is allowed to enter or leave this room?"
Ulanara was not in a hurry, with a faint look of sadness on his face, and he was blessed again.
"Reporting to the master, it's not that I didn't listen to the master's words. It's just... Today is the anniversary of my sister's death. Like the master, I thought of my sister's care for me, and I couldn't restrain my sadness. Before I knew it, I left. We got here. I was sorting out my sister’s belongings, and unexpectedly my master had a connection with me and came over.”
As he spoke, he shed a few tears.
Yinzhen's face was hidden in the darkness of the door, and his voice was calm.
"If Fujin has nothing else to do, I would like to be alone for a while."
Ulanara turned around, glanced at the bed, and sighed. He turned back to Yinzhen and said.
"I know that my master is feeling sad, so I will go to the side room first to sort out some things that my sister prepared for the second elder brother."
Listening to these words, Yinzhen felt a pain in his heart.
His Yunxi prepared so many things for the child, including soft baby clothes, golden longevity locks, silver chopsticks, jade bowls, and countless baby things.
He and Yunxi even prepared many things together, but fate was unfair. Before his Yunxi could even look at the child, both mother and child were harmed.
Yinzhen ignored Uranala and allowed her to leave the dormitory.
Yinzhen sat by the bed, all he could see was Yunxi dressed in Huguang brocade. She was pregnant at the time, but she still waited for him to finish his official duties every day, then threw herself into his arms, calling "Silang" delicately.
He couldn't help but reached for a jade hairpin on the bed. The hairpin was carved by Yinzhen himself for Yunxi.
But as soon as Yinzhen got the hairpin, the hairpin broke into two pieces. Yinzhen couldn't believe it and suddenly stood up from the bed. Su Peisheng was caught off guard and almost didn't help Yinzhen.
Yinzhen held the half of the hairpin tightly in his hand, suppressed the anger in his heart, and gritted his teeth.
"Su Peisheng, tell Fu Jin to come over."
When Uranala came from the side room, Yinzhen was sitting on the bed, with half of a hairpin exposed in his clenched hands. It was my sister's favorite jade hairpin when she was still alive, and it was carved by Yinzhen himself.
"I don't know, why did the master call me here?"
Ulanara didn't realize yet why the hairpin in Yinzhen's hand only had the head.
Yinzhen didn't say anything, he just put his hands together to piece together the hosta into a complete shape.
"Fu Jin, take a look, can you recognize this thing?"
Ulanara was shocked in his heart and his mind was spinning rapidly. He didn't know what was going on, so he only answered subconsciously.
"Of course I recognize it. This is my sister's favorite hosta when she was still alive. It was given to my sister by my master. However, I don't know why it appeared in my master's hands in a form broken into two pieces."
Yinzhen sneered.
"I also want to know. You have always taken care of Yunxi's relics, and others have no chance to touch them. How come it happened today that I found out that they were so completely broken when I took them."
Ulanara's pupils widened.
"Master, do you suspect that I have broken my sister's beloved thing? I have no reason, master! My sister is my biological sister. How could I deliberately break my sister's things? Please tell me, master!"
