In front of the red sandalwood rosewood dowry, Yun Lu lifted up a waterfall of green silk from Pei Shu's back and combed it carefully, looking over her shoulder at the immortal figure in the bronze mirror, with its alluring beauty.

He said tentatively,

"Everything has been going on lately, which has affected your complexion. According to my servant, every feature of your appearance is exquisite. There is no need to put on makeup. A light application of rouge will make your complexion very beautiful."

Ever since Nujun came down from the mountain and returned to the Duke's Mansion, she felt as if she had been put on a pair of heavy shackles, and she was not relaxed day by day.

Seeing that she had regained some of her true temperament today, Yunlu was sincerely happy.

Since the girl wanted to change her clothing style, she might as well have changed her heavy makeup.

The heavy rouge and gouache concealed the girl's original beauty.

"This is what I like so much, so I'll just do what you say."

Pei Shu curved her lips, smiled and agreed to the suggestion of her confidant maid again.

"The people from Tianyifang will come later. You can also choose some fashionable patterns and cut some fresh and beautiful new clothes. The dark green is lifeless and looks very depressing to the eyes."

In her previous life, she wore upright dark clothes every day, and wore makeup that was too mature for her age. She pursued a dignified aura, and Yunque Yunlu followed suit.

Looking back, I find my past self was really boring and boring.

"That would be great."

Yunque said happily at the side,

"Female Sir, I must be honest, my maid. If it weren't for Sister Yunlu always telling me to be a master and a servant, I would really not be willing to wear this dull dress."

There was a bright smile in Pei Shu's eyes: "In the past, I was trapped in a cocoon because of my own mistakes. From now on, we masters and servants can live more comfortably."

Speaking of which, Yun Que is about sixteen, one year younger than her.

In previous years, when we were in the mountains, she was also a pretty little lady who liked to dress up. After I returned home with her, I was subject to many restrictions and it was difficult for her.

"How dare you be careless even if you know you've gone too far." Yunlu picked up the grate and knocked her on the head: "You have nothing to do, why not go to the kitchen to order refreshments."

It was rare for the girl to feel brighter. She was afraid that this little girl would provoke the girl's displeasure without covering up or blocking her, so she quickly ordered her to leave.

Finished dressing up.

Pei Shu had no intention of continuing the old practice of not taking any time off to manage accounts and review official affairs, and worked conscientiously to pave a financial path for the family.

Instead, he took out a book and leaned on the arhat lazily to read it slowly.

No matter how much you do, no matter how much wealth you create, it is still not making wedding clothes for others.

I have to re-write the charter in a few days to see how to enrich my private property and expand my team.

In the past, she thought she was highly regarded by Aye, which is extremely ridiculous when she thinks about it.

As everyone knows, the father, who is good at disguise and scheming, handed over the family power without reservation on the surface, but in fact this was not the case.

He concealed his power, falsely reported his property, raised private soldiers, and even robbed himself.

Before she took over, she had already transferred a large amount of money and hid it in her private treasury, leaving only a pile of bad debts.

As naive as she is, she only thinks that the government's talent pool is lacking and is gradually declining. She still feels the heavy responsibility and is determined to revive the family's prosperity.

After all, who could have expected that he would be ruthlessly plotted, manipulated and fooled by his own father.

It took her nearly a year to repair the mess and repair the ship, which was riddled with holes, and get it back on track.

And none of the people he left for her were worthy of her trust.

When it came time to choose between the Duke and the Queen, his usually loyal subordinates immediately turned against each other.

When things came to a close, she suddenly realized that they had always been his people, but they were just temporarily ordered to be loyal to her.

She devoted all her life's knowledge and worked tirelessly to serve her family, but the result was that her so-called blood relatives gave her a chronic poison that eroded her internal organs, and she died an untimely death.

It's ridiculous, she has the illustrious title of the head of a clan, but in this huge palace, the only ones who are truly trustworthy are Yunque Yunlu and Aunt Xin.

Yunque Yunlu was the maid carefully selected for her by her master. The two grew up together with her. They were both book maids and playmates, and they had a deep friendship.

Aunt Xin was the nanny assigned by her master to take care of her housework and take care of her food and daily life when she first came to the mountain.

When she was young, she only treated Aunt Xin like an ordinary nanny. Later, when she became a governor and had the ability to identify talents and people, she suddenly realized that Aunt Xin was not as simple as an ordinary nanny.

Her talents are no less than those of the matron of a wealthy family.

At critical moments, he is a wise elder who is able to take charge alone.

As her thoughts spread to this point, Pei Shu suddenly sat up in shock and slapped her forehead heavily.

sky!

The past life and the present life were like a dream, but a full six years passed in between, which led to her carelessness in neglecting such crucial matters!

I forgot for a moment that just twenty days ago, Aunt Xin was ordered to rush to Qingyuan, Minzhou, to contact the collateral branches there.

In the early years, my grandmother's generation had conflicts with the other side, and the two sides have not moved together for twenty or thirty years.

The purpose of Aunt Xin's trip was to resolve the grievances of the older generation and tie the Minzhou group back to the same boat.

Minzhou is located close to the sea. Pei Shu plans to expand overseas trade, and the branch surnamed Pei has taken root in Minzhou for decades.

Opening new trade routes is naturally a matter of course.

Moreover, the two places are far apart, and it is inevitable that she would feel out of reach when implementing some details in the capital.

Whether we can achieve reconciliation with the other side is crucial.

So, she assigned Aunt Xin to go.

In her previous life, Aunt Xin lived up to her great trust.

However, on the way back from the victory, he was accidentally killed by bandits at the junction of Xingcheng and Imperial Capital.

Now it seems that this "accident" was probably caused by a man-made disaster.

Yuemo was the talent shown by Aunt Xin in Minzhou, which made some people jealous and got rid of her.

After all, I was born into a trap and was deeply bound and blinded by family ties.

But onlookers knew that if Aunt Xin discovered their ulterior motives early, this wonderful move of hers would be ruined.

"Yunlu, hurry up! Get some pen and ink ready." Pei Shu rarely lost her calmness and said with unsteady breath.

Yunlu responded and went to get pen and paper.

The waiting time seemed to become infinitely long. Pei Shu clasped her hands together and subconsciously dug into the tiger's mouth with her thumbs, which showed that her emotions were fluctuating violently.

Throughout her life, in her limited and barren life, there were very few people who were important to her and worthy of cherishing.

Twelve years of food and daily life, regardless of the weather or the weather, are filled with Aunt Xin's meticulous care.

When she was sick when she was young, she hated taking medicine, and Aunt Xin would always take the trouble to coax her.

When she was punished by her master after taking a cigarette, she missed her family. Aunt Xin would always make some delicious food, and then she would watch her eat with a smile, while stroking her and whispering softly.

She left home at a young age and could not imagine what it would be like to have a child who was loved by her grandma. She thought maybe it was just like Aunt Xin.

Aunt Xin was more of a relative than a relative to her.

No, they are far better than those flesh and blood relatives who are not as good as shit.

Pei Shu closed her eyes, exhaled slowly, and warned herself not to mess up.

Estimating the time, Aunt Xin at this stall probably hasn't stepped into the border of Minzhou yet, so she doesn't have time.

When the papers were laid on the desk, Pei Shu had calmed down and started writing with clear thoughts.

First of all, I need to tell Aunt Xin three things.

1. After arriving in Qingyuan, the contact with the branch should not appear to be too smooth. Create some conflicts appropriately. It is best to make a gesture that you cannot reach an agreement with the branch. At least on the surface, cooperation cannot be reached. You must create an illusion to confuse outsiders.

Two and one, remind Aunt Xin to beware of black hands.

Third, write a return letter and inform her of the return date in detail so that she can arrange for someone to come and pick her up.

The secret letter was written in one go. Pei Shu dried the ink, rolled it up carefully and stuffed it into a bamboo tube, and solemnly told Yun Lu,

"You go to Liuli Pavilion immediately to convey the message to Man Niang. We will travel day and night, regardless of the cost, and deliver it within seven days."

Yunlu felt the solemnity conveyed by her and did not hesitate to leave the house.

In the carriage, Yunlu pursed her lips and thought. She didn't know what kind of important event had happened, so urgent that the husband's men were needed.

Fortunately, the girl had foresight. After returning to Beijing, even though her husband's old manpower was temporarily unavailable, she continued to order jewelry at Liulic Pavilion to prepare for emergencies.

If he hadn't run to the silver building in such a hurry, he would inevitably be noticed by someone who was interested.

Pei Shu didn't know that she was a little rash, and her master also warned her not to use the Yinlou card unless it was a critical moment.

But looking around, she couldn't find anyone she could trust even to send a letter.

What she, the head of the family, did was really laughable and generous.

Next, the last step needs to be arranged in advance to ensure that Aunt Xin is safe.

Who to dispatch to respond is a big problem.

It's not that important to use a bank to send a sealed letter, but when it comes to hidden forces, you have to be very careful. You can't reveal your trump card from the beginning.

The clan does maintain two escort teams, and there are many experts among them.

But how dare she use the people Pei Kunliang left for her!

It's okay to instruct them to do some trivial things, but if it involves secrets, it should never be used.

As her fingertips tapped on the table, a person suddenly flashed in Pei Shu's mind.

Just a few clicks and it's all him...

Let's close our eyes for a moment.
Chapter completed!
