Chapter 339： secret message

Miss Bai made a lame excuse, and Mrs. Bai and Mrs. Bai immediately noticed something wrong with her.

The two of them were attracted by her, and their eyes unconsciously fell on Ye Anlan's purse.

Seeing this, the expressions of the two of them changed drastically at the same time, and Mrs. Bai even stood up abruptly.

She walked quickly to Ye Anlan's side, and took the purse with a similarity index of 99.99% from Miss Bai.

Miss Bai called out "Mother" cautiously, and emotions such as surprise, expectation, anxiety, and fear flashed across her face like a revolving lantern.

"Yes." Mrs. Bai replied, but her eyes were fixed on the purse.

Ye Anlan put on a look of fear, "Husband, madam, I picked up this purse, if you, if you like it"

Qiu Xing'er bumped into her and signaled her not to talk nonsense with her eyes.

She is a native of the capital, and she knows how particular the female relatives of those dignitaries are.

These people don’t use other people’s old things for themselves, even their own clothes and jewelry. When they go out to dinner, they don’t use what they have already worn.

Ordinary officials and merchants can use it for a lifetime, and even use it as a family heirloom jewelry. To them, it is just an ordinary ornament that can only appear once.

If it weren’t for this, how could it be possible for jewelry shops in the capital to have large sums of business from rich and powerful families every day?

Tell this kind of person that if you like it, you can take it, and people don’t think they are insulting people?

Don’t give away jewelry, they will put their lives here.

Qiu Xing'er has good intentions, if Ye Anlan didn't have ulterior motives, she wouldn't have said such a word rashly.

Madam Bai was beyond Qiu Xinger's expectations. Not only did she not get angry because of Ye Anlan's thoughtless speech, but she even asked her maid to give Ye Anlan a brand new satin purse embroidered with winter jasmine flowers.

The small purse is very suitable for the aesthetics of young girls, with exquisite patterns and bright colors. Most importantly, there are two small and cute silver peanuts inside.

Qiu Xinger looked dumbfounded. She didn't expect Mrs. Bai to be the matriarch of the marquis's house, she would really want Ye Anlan's small purse, and she didn't expect that the other party would reward Ye Anlan with such a small purse. Satin purse, two small silver peanuts.

She watched Ye Anlan jingling the few copper coins in her purse into the new purse, and then watched Ye Anlan hand the old purse to Mrs. Bai holding both hands.

When Mrs. Bai received the purse, she immediately felt relieved.

Although as soon as she got the purse, she judged from the newness of the fabric that it was not the one she gave to Bai Qingzhi, but the purse that she gave to Bai Qingzhi looks like this, Madam Bai believes that the person who made the purse is absolutely close From a distance, he observed the purse she gave Bai Qingzhi.

She asked Ye Anlan, "Little girl, where did you find the purse? Was there anything else in the purse?"

Fearing that Ye Anlan would not tell the truth, Mrs. Bai said again: "Don't worry, I won't take your things for nothing. If there are other things in my purse, I can exchange them with you for what you want."

Ye Anlan recalled, "There is also a piece of yellow paper, neatly folded, but I didn't bring it with me."

After she said this, the old lady Bai, who was still stable, suddenly became impatient.

Old Madam Bai didn't know that Madam Bai had discovered that the purse did not belong to Bai Qingzhi, so she didn't know that even if there was something made of yellow paper in the purse, it shouldn't be the peace amulet she once begged for her son.

She was anxious, but she couldn't rush over to look at it like her daughter-in-law and granddaughter did, so she could only hope that her daughter-in-law would talk to her quickly so that she could have some confidence in her heart.

Madam Bai was obviously also very aware of her mother-in-law's concern and concern for Bai Qingzhi and his son. After Ye Anlan promised to bring the yellow paper in to them another day, she immediately returned to where she was sitting with her purse.

Under the eager gaze of Mrs. Bai, Mrs. Bai handed the purse to Mrs. Bai.

At the same time, she shook her head slightly at Mrs. Bai.

Some of the servants who have been watching the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law looked disappointed, some were confused, and the other kept squinting her eyes seemingly unintentionally, and glanced at Mrs. Bai out of the corner of her eye.

Seeing Mrs. Bai shaking her head, the man's eyes flickered slightly, and he looked at the purse again unwillingly.

Ye Anlan took advantage of the fact that everyone's attention was focused on the Bai family's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, and quickly moved her right hand, making a small movement in a corner where no one was paying attention, at a speed as fast as the afterimage.

Then, she began to pretend to be a fool the whole time, letting Qiu Xinger tell the two white girls about the newly made jewelry.

After Qiu Xinger successfully got the final payment, she followed Qiu Xinger to bow and leave.

The two got into the carriage, and before Qiu Xing'er could ask her, Ye Anlan took the initiative to take out the small purse she got.

She didn't give Qiu Xinger the purse, but gave Qiu Xinger a silver peanut.

On the one hand, Qiu Xing'er was happy that she got the unexpected money, but on the other hand, she was shocked by Ye Anlan's generosity. She squeezed the silver peanut and asked Ye Anlan in a low voice, "You, you really give it to me?"

Ye Anlan nodded, raised her finger outside the car to signal her to keep quiet.

Qiu Xing'er smiled immediately, she put away the silver peanuts, thought for a while and then whispered, "Oh, the dim sum in Hou Fu is really delicious."

Ye Anlan heard the shopkeeper's nephew sneer from outside, and immediately understood what Qiu Xinger was talking about in this sudden sentence.

She gave Qiu Xinger a thumbs up, and the two girls laughed silently in the crude carriage.

So far, Ye Anlan has a temporary ally in the shop in exchange for silver peanuts.

Her temporary ally is very loyal, because she knew that Ye Anlan and Mrs. Bai had made an appointment to deliver the folded yellow paper to Mrs. Bai tomorrow night, so when she was about to leave work the next day, her temporary ally He took the initiative to undertake the cleaning work that should have been done by the two of them together.

Of course, this is something for another time.

In Weipinghou Mansion right now, Mrs. Bai, Mrs. Bai and the two girls from the Bai family are crying silently at a paper bag that Ye Anlan secretly stuffed for Mrs. Bai.

What was wrapped in the paper bag was the safety talisman that Mrs. Bai had sent to the northern border the year before last.

On the inside of the paper bag, Ye Anlan also wrote two lines of small characters with a sharpened charcoal pen, one line was "Hou Ye is safe", and the other line was "The family has eyeliner".

Miss Bai held her grandmother's hand firmly, and after a while she said in a voice that was so soft that it was almost inaudible: "No wonder she let me watch it alone."

Old lady Bai wiped away her tears, put the note into the brazier and burned it clean.
