Daiyu's handwriting was beautiful,

But it didn't look weak at all.

He Shen held his forehead,

As he looked at it, he couldn't help but chuckle.

Daiyu hadn't changed much from when she was young.

Her mind was sharper than others,

Other than greeting He Shen and thanking him for sending the things, the letter didn't say anything else.

The rest was to let He Shen not have to spend so much money. She also said that she didn't know the value of the items,

She actually sent a box to her cousin.

Since it was a gift to her,

She had the final say on where it would go.

Why was she still so careful?

He Shen raised his hand to grind the ink, then smoothed the paper and pressed it with a paperweight.

He picked up the pen and wrote —

As he wrote, he lost track of the time.

When He Shen raised his head,

It was already evening.

He Lin was still standing outside the window, holding the windowsill with both hands. She smiled at He Shen. "Brother!

It's time to eat. "

He Shen frowned.

At this hour, it was naturally not appropriate to send the letter to Rongguo Province.

He was afraid that he would have to wait until tomorrow..

He dried the ink on the paper,

Then he carefully folded it into the envelope.

Then, he put Daiyu's words in the book that he often read.

Then, he got up and went out of the door.

He Lin touched his stomach and asked, "Brother, what were you writing just now? I'm starving..."

"Since you're hungry,

Why didn't you send the food earlier? "

"He Lin is alone,

How can you send the food? "

"Then you can call me."

"Brother is so engrossed in writing,

How can He Lin disturb you? "

Engrossed?

He Shen was stunned,

He felt a little uncomfortable.

After all, such emotions for him..,

Were too unfamiliar.

He Shen's expression returned to its usual coldness. He touched He Lin's head.

A thin layer of hair appeared on his head, and it was a little uncomfortable.

He Lin giggled from being touched. He immediately diverted his attention, no longer paying attention to why his brother was acting so strange today.

After the meal, He Lin returned to his courtyard to study.

He Shen, on the other hand, went back to his study to sort out the memorials and check for omissions.

The lamp on the table flickered as if it was about to go out.

The maidservant hurried in, took down the lampshade, and cut the wick.

He Shen glanced at him.

Suddenly, a thought flashed through his mind, and he remembered something.

In Daiyu's letter, he said that he didn't know the value of the gift and gave a box to his cousin.

This cousin … Wasn't he Jia Baoyu?

How could that be?

He Shen's face darkened almost immediately.

The maidservant turned around, still holding the scissors in her hand. He Shen's appearance frightened her, and she knelt down without thinking.

"It's nothing. You may leave."

The maidservant breathed a sigh of relief and quickly left.

It was strange that He Shen's reputation in the capital city was so well-known that he attracted the admiration of many girls.

However, none of the maidservants in the mansion dared to have any thoughts about He Shen.

After the maidservant left, she carefully closed the door.

He Shen subconsciously glanced at the window again, but there was no one else there.

Only the leaves and branches drooped down slightly, casting a shadow.

He Shen grinded the ink again and took out the letter that had been folded.

He spread out another piece of paper and wrote on it word by word.

He waited until he finished writing this time. The difference was that there was an extra paragraph of advice.

"Baoyu's reputation is terrible. He loves to play with the sisters in the family. He is close to everyone and is used to sweet-talking …"

He Shen wrote with an expressionless face. He didn't have the slightest guilty conscience of speaking ill of others behind their backs.

He and Dai Yu had known each other much earlier, so Dai Yu shouldn't have formed such a deep friendship with Baoyu so quickly that she would throw him to the back of her mind.

Daiyu should at least listen to a sentence or two of what he said.

This time, He Shen wrote quickly and folded it into the envelope. Then, he wrapped it with a prescription and a doctor's advice.

He bent his index finger and knocked on the table.

"Liu Quan!"

Liu Quan had been waiting outside. When he heard the sound, he immediately pushed the door open and came in.

"Send this prescription to Rongguo Province. Tell them that Miss Lin needs to take medicine and can't be delayed.

Also, this box. "

Liu Quan bowed his head and responded. He picked up the letter and quickly walked out.

He Shen raised his head and looked outside.

The moon was bright and the stars were sparse. It was already night.

He Shen's mood was a little noisy. He couldn't calm down no matter how hard he tried.

It couldn't be delayed.

The sooner he told Daiyu to have less contact with Baoyu, the better.

Naturally, he couldn't wait until tomorrow …

His behavior was very normal and not reckless.

He Shen comforted himself in his heart. Only then did he feel better.

He still had to see Qianlong tomorrow, so he should go to bed early.

He Shen pursed his lips. Only then did a little smile appear on his face.

Even when he fell asleep, the smile on his face was still there.

It was indeed late.

Zi Juan lifted the curtain by the bed and let Daiyu sleep. Before he closed his eyes, Xue Yan came in quietly and whispered, "Second Master sent a servant girl over."

Zi Juan was surprised, "It's so late. What are you doing here?"

"Delivering something."

Daiyu woke up with a start, "Delivering something?"

She sat up on the bed. Her hair was scattered behind her head. She didn't have any makeup on her face. She looked delicate and beautiful.

"I'll do it," Zi Juan said and walked out, "Xue Yan, you wait here."

Xue Yan nodded.

Zi Juan walked out of the screen and stepped out of the door.

The servant girl probably knew that it wasn't good to disturb them at this time. She didn't enter the door. She only whispered a few words to Zi Juan.

Then, only the sound of footsteps could be heard. She must have gone back to report on her mission.

Zi Juan came in with a box.

There were a few sheets of paper neatly folded on top of the box. The ink was faintly visible, and the names of some medicinal herbs could be vaguely seen.

Zi Juan was about to put the box on the table.

Daiyu's heart skipped a beat, "Bring it over."

Zi Juan didn't suspect anything. She carried the box to the bedside and put it down.

Daiyu was too embarrassed to open the stack of prescriptions. She didn't know if there was a letter inside.

So, she opened the box first.

Under the warm yellow light.

As soon as the box was opened, it immediately shone brightly and dazzlingly.

It was a full set of head ornaments.

It was different from the ones on the market today.

This set of ornaments seemed to be made of some kind of sparkling and translucent material. It was really too beautiful.

It didn't look like something from the mortal world. Instead, it looked like something that had been taken out of the osmanthus palace.

Daiyu took a look at it and liked it very much.

Even though Zi Juan was calm, she was still stunned when she saw it.

Xue Yan didn't even need to be mentioned.

"It's so … extravagant." Zi Juan muttered, "Could it be that Second Madam made the decision to send this?"

But when she thought about it, it didn't make sense.

Although Second Madam took care of Miss, it didn't make sense for her to send something so rare to Miss that other Miss hadn't even seen it before.

Second Master?

That was even more wrong.

Second Master was a man. Why would he care about buying head ornaments for his niece?

Xue Yan whispered, "It was sent by a good friend of Master's in the past."

Zi Juan was slightly speechless. She thought that the other party was probably in his forties or fifties. If he sent these things, it was probably the Madam who made the decision to send it.

Thus, she didn't feel that there was anything wrong with it.

Daiyu couldn't wait to open the prescription. The envelope at the bottom was revealed.

Zi Juan was already stunned, "This, this is …"

Daiyu flattened the letter.

As she read, she couldn't help but be stunned.

"Miss, what's wrong?" Xue Yan asked.

Daiyu pursed her lips. Her expression was a bit complicated, "He said that the things he sent weren't expensive things. He told me not to take it to heart.

Since they were given to me, I can do whatever I want with them.

It doesn't matter if they're given to the ancestors, aunts, sisters, or servants … there's no need to feel bad.

There are so many of these things that I can't use them all even if I want to in my lifetime … "

As for the rest, he told her not to have any contact with Baoyu.

Daiyu didn't mention it again.

After all, Zi Juan used to serve the ancestors. How could she speak ill of Baoyu in front of her?

Xue Yan laughed out loud, "Then Miss can rest assured."

Her elder brother's master treated Miss so well!

Zi Juan was much older. She was more cautious now.

He was so kind. He helped her find a doctor, sent her things, and even wrote a letter …

Zi Juan opened her mouth with difficulty, "That Master, don't tell me he likes our Miss?"

Daiyu's hand, which was holding the letter, froze, "How could that be?

He … "

He was her elder brother.

How could he like her?

Daiyu was lost in thought for a moment. Her cheeks unconsciously turned red.

Xue Yan, who was standing at the side, was even more shocked.

However, Zi Juan felt that this was a big deal.

If the other party had bad intentions and deliberately coaxed Miss to make Miss fall in love with him, then …

How could that be?

Since he was on good terms with Master Lin, he was definitely not young. He even had a wife at home. Who knew how many concubines he had?

Zi Juan bit her lip and said boldly, "Miss, do you like him too?

Miss, listen to me. It's best if you don't have any contact with this person in the future.

He's not young, and he's Miss's elder. How could he be so thick-skinned and get close to Miss? "

Daiyu's face was already red. She said softly, "He, he's not that old."

Zi Juan said in her heart, "It's over, it's over …"

Zi Juan's face was already pale. Her heart sank. However, she heard Daiyu say, "He, although he's on good terms with Father.

But when we were in Gusu, I used to call him 'Elder Brother.' "

Xue Yan also hurriedly said, "That's right. That's not a Master, he's a Young Master.

He's not even twenty years old yet, and he's not even married yet. "

Zi Juan's heart was beating up and down. She was so shocked that her heart fell to the ground with a thud.

Zi Juan: "He's not even twenty years old yet?

And he's not even married yet?

He's a young Young Master? "

Xue Yan: "That's right."

Zi Juan's mood had just experienced such great sorrow and joy. She couldn't help but laugh out loud, "You should have said so earlier. You scared me to death. I thought there was some shameless old thing who dared to coax our Miss …"
