When Lu Mingtian heard Xiao Lian’s report, he immediately stood up and said goodbye with tactfulness.

Shi Jinrou quickly put away the box and then sent Lu Mingtian to the door of the house. Because Shi Quan was already waiting outside the door, Shi Jinrou ordered Xiao Lian: "...help me see off Mr. Lu."

Xiao Lian responded and led Lu Mingtian away.

After Shi Quan entered the room, he bowed to Shi Jinrou and said, "The villain has seen Mr. Shi! It is a sin to disturb the young master to see the guests!"

Shi Jinrou waved her hand indifferently, first gave Shi Quan's seat, and then said, "Manager Shi is too worried. Mr. Lu is the son of my father's master. He often comes and goes there, so there is no question of disturbing him."

He paused and said, "Manager Shi came to the mansion, but what's wrong?"

"The villain did report something. The young master also knew that rebuilding the dock required a lot of stone, but when the villain went to count the stone today, he found that there was not much material left. If the goods were not purchased in time, it would probably affect the progress.

So the villain came to ask the young master for an idea.”

"Oh, why didn't Manager Shi directly ask Master Lu to withdraw silver? Just buy some stones."

Shi Jinrou entrusted the funds required for the project to the master Lu Wenshao to manage, and Shi Quan was responsible for the procurement. Shi Jinrou had previously instructed: how to prepare materials and how much to prepare. Because she is an amateur, there is no need to declare to her. Shi Quanhe

Lu Wenshao and the other two decided by themselves. Shi Jinrou just checked the daily account book.

Shi Quan was in a difficult condition and said, "There are not many stones and materials missing. Then the cost of purchasing from a distance is too high. It is better to purchase them nearby, just..."

Shi Jinrou understood Shi Quan's meaning and asked, "Are you talking about... buying Duan's family?"

Shi Quan nodded and said, "They are driving a quarry, so there should be stone."

Shi Jinrou frowned and asked, "Is it not convenient for Manager Shi to buy it directly?"

"Well, the Marquis and the Grand Lady have both told the villain not to have any connection with the Duan family, especially to purchase stones, wood, etc., and we cannot buy Duan family. But this time there is not much stone missing, so it is really not worth it anymore.

Go to a distance to purchase. Therefore, come here to discuss with the young master. If the young master has a solution, it will save a lot of money."

Shi Jinrou finally understood the purpose of Shi Quan coming to her, and she wanted her to come forward to buy stones with Duan's family. But can she come forward?

Shi Jinrou was also a little embarrassed. She really didn't want to have any contact with the Duan family now. The lady had already instructed her, and her father had some incompatible with the Duan family, but she had to buy stones. What should I do

?

Shi Jinrou said: "Manager Shi, how many days will it take to have the existing stone materials?"

"It can be fast or slow, fast for five or six days, slow for ten days."

Shi Jinrou pondered for a moment and said, "I will think of a solution to the lack of stone materials for the purchase, and I will give you a reply in the next two days."

Shi Quan stood up and said goodbye. Shi Jinrou was thinking about the piece of paper in the box, but she did not try to keep it. She ordered Xiuhe and Xiao Lian to send Shi to the yard.

After seeing Shi Quan off, Shi Jinrou put the box in her arms and returned to her room. She told Xiao Lian that Xiuhe would not enter the house without her summoning, and that she would also help her look at the yard so that no one would come in and disturb her.

Xiao Lian, Xiuhe doesn't think it's strange, it seems that she has long been used to her own lady being so mysterious "often".

After Shi Jinrou took the box and walked into her bedroom, she hurriedly took out the piece of paper she found in the box, and saw four lines of poetry arranged vertically from right to left:

"Zhuang Zhou suddenly dreams of a butterfly, the mountains are hidden in the green bushes, the clouds are deep and the eagles are flying to the sky."

Shi Jinrou recited it over and over again, unable to think of what it meant, but she knew: there must be extremely important secrets or clues here!

She took the paper to the bright spot, held it up and turned it over and over and over and over and over again to check it carefully: the paper is not transparent, and it is not as Shi Jinrou imagined, and there is any secret memory.

"This is really amazing! There is no secret memory. Could it be that there is something written invisible potion on it? But where can I find any invisible potion? Not to mention that the words are displayed, I don't understand it at all. Alas! I miss the one I went to school at the beginning.

I really should learn chemistry well at the time. I really regret that I only regretted the fact that I used it!”

"If there is no secret remark or invisible potion, then what does these four lines of poetry mean? What are the metaphors of Zhuang Zhou, butterflies, green bushes, clouds and flying eagles?

The note with the words "Jiazi Renshen Ji Chou Wuchen" is written with the word "Xi" and the phoenix bird pattern, and the poem in my hand now. My dear grandma, what do you want

What do you leave for your mother and me? What do you want to tell us?!"

Fortunately, Shi Jinrou knew what "Jiazi Renshen Ji Chou Wuchen" means, because she had pretended to ask her father for these words unintentionally. Her father said that it was "birthday and horoscope", and asked her

Whose birthday is it?

While Shi Jinrou "complained" her grandmother in her heart, she took out the box and studied it carefully, but the research was almost dark, and she found no other valuable clues.

In desperation, she had to put the jade pendant and the "Birthday Eight Characters" back into the box, but she did not put the paper with the "Poem" back, because she had a premonition that there would be a major secret hidden therein, so she would write

The paper with "poetry" was hidden alone, and she also kept the "poetry" in her mind.

…………

The next morning, just as the sky was getting dark, Shi Jinrou got up and washed up under the servitude of Xiaolian and Xiuhe. No matter how soon and late Ran Yicheng and Shi Xiaohong came, she could not let them wait for her. One is that they were not in accordance with the rules, and the other is that they were not

polite.

After Shi Jinrou had breakfast, she was asking Mrs. Gu to fill the water bag. Xiao Lian hurriedly reported: "... The prince and General Ran have already arrived outside the back door, waiting for the young master to go out!"

Shi Jinrou responded, "I understand," and then hurried to her father's yard to greet her and say goodbye.

Ishihara Hai originally wanted Ding Zhong to accompany Shi Jinrou to hunt, but thought he would go out to work, and there was no safe person in the mansion, so he ordered Shui Sheng and Xiuhe to accompany Shi Jinrou to hunt.

, and at the same time, he did not forget to ask Shui Sheng:

"Have you installed a carriage?"
