Chapter 42 Ineffective Communication
Wen Wan: "... Master, why do you think I must be here to buy something as a gift for my sweetheart, not an elder?"
The old master looked like he had come from before, "This jade ring is suitable for young people. If you give it to your elders, they won't choose this one."
Sure enough, I have eyesight.
Wen Wan admired it very much, but still explained that it was just a gift for a friend.
"Whether a friend is a friend or not is beyond my control. But the jade rings in my shop are famous in border towns. Many girls have bought them as gifts for their sweethearts."
The old master took off the jade ring from the shelf, "I'm not bragging, if you give this thing away, ordinary friends will become your favorites."
The folk customs in border towns are open, and old masters often see men and women sending tokens of love.
No one believed her explanation, so Wen Wan simply refused to explain.
The jade ring originally cost five taels of silver, but the old master gave it a friendly price, which was a one-tael discount.
So Wen Wan happily took the brocade box containing the jade ring finger and walked out of the shop door.
Not far away, Gao Ling, who had just stepped off the carriage, glanced in this direction.
"Hey, isn't that Miss Xiaowan?"
Gao Ling thought for a while and explained to the person behind him.
"Go to that shop and ask, what did Miss Xiaowan buy? I also own several jewelry shops. Considering the relationship between us, she actually doesn't go to my shop to buy. There must be something fishy in this!"
Chang Sui took the order and went, but after a little effort, he came back after asking for details.
"The clerk in the shop said that Miss Xiaowan bought a jade ring as a gift to her sweetheart."
Gao Ling's eyes widened, "Sweetheart? Are you sure?"
Chang Sui nodded, "That's what the store clerk said. And I know the clerks in this shop. The jade finger rings made by their craftsmen are famous love tokens in our border town."
After hearing this, Gao Ling sighed for a while, "She must have given this jade ring to Shen Yu. The duplicitous woman rejected him just a few days ago, and now she is rushing to send him a token of love. She is really cunning. .”
He also frowned and murmured: "I'm afraid my brother will meet someone powerful this time."

After Wen Wan returned to the side courtyard, she directly found the mute woman.
She didn't know where Shen Yu was, but Mute Po must have a way to contact him, so she told Mute Po straight to the point that she had something important to see Shen Yu.
The mute woman was an honest person, so she took her directly out of the back door of the side courtyard and walked along a small alley to the end.
There was actually a dovecote.
The mute woman opened the door of the dovecote with the key, grabbed a carrier pigeon from a small cage, and stuffed the carrier pigeon into Wen Wan's arms.
Wen Wan asked in surprise: "Do you usually use this to communicate?"
Although the mute woman couldn't hear, she guessed what she was asking and nodded with a smile.
As a result, Wen Wan got a homing pigeon that could contact Shen Yu.
She is really not used to this kind of communication, and her divergent thinking can always think of the four words "Hongyan Chuan Shu".
It seems a little ambiguous.
She thought about it for a long time in front of her desk before she mustered up the courage to write a letter to Shen Yu.
*
Half an hour later, the pigeon carrying the letterbox landed on the window sill of Shen Yu's study.
Kaneki looked at the number of the carrier pigeon and took off the mailbox.
"It's the homing pigeon that came from the side courtyard. It must be the mute woman."
Kaneki opened the letter, and as soon as he took a look, his expression froze.
Shen Yu was still reading the document. He listened to the first half of his sentence, but didn't hear the follow-up. He couldn't help but raise his eyes and glance at him.
"What happened? Could it be that white-eyed wolf did something again?"
The little white-eyed wolf, worried about her safety in vain, came to help her test the slave, but unexpectedly he ate her up and left her speechless.
Jin Mu looked embarrassed, "That's right, I didn't understand the meaning of the letter."
"Don't understand?" Shen Yu raised his eyebrows.
As his lieutenant, although Kaneki was not as good at writing as a serious scholar, he was by no means someone who couldn't read a letter. Kaneki couldn't tell clearly, so he simply handed the letter over and showed it to him directly, "General, you can read it yourself."
Shen Yu opened the letter suspiciously and threw it away after just one glance.
"Who can understand this ghostly talisman!"
There were many words written densely on the letterhead, and he could barely make out a few of them.
Kaneki: "I feel that this letter was not written by the mute woman."
"Nonsense." Shen Yu put down the letter irritably, "Who else but her could write this kind of thing? The other children in the yard are half better than her."
Jin Mu didn't answer the words, but just suppressed a smile, "General, I'm wondering if Miss Xiaowan is apologizing to you."
Shen Yu was noncommittal.
Jin Mu: "Miss Xiaowan is a smart person. Even if she said a few harsh words in anger at the time, she would definitely be able to figure it out afterwards."
"I feel that maybe the girl is so thin-skinned that she is too embarrassed to say it even if she knows she is wrong, so I asked the mute woman for a carrier pigeon to write to you."
Check out the 16-9 book bar and see the correct version!
The analysis makes sense.
At least, Shen Yu was satisfied with this analysis.
But on the surface, he still looked disgusted.
"In that case, I'll just take a look."
Shen Yu bent down to pick up the letter from the ground. It was inconvenient to sit in a wheelchair. His fingertips touched the letter but he failed to pick it up.
When Jin Mu saw this scene, he wanted to laugh but didn't dare.
Shen Yu: "..."
I regret that I acted too quickly and threw the letter too far.
He glanced at Kaneki with sharp eyes, and Kaneki quickly picked up the letter.
Unfortunately, reality always backfires.
Shen Yuzai read it carefully for a long time, but still couldn't understand what was written in the letter.
Kaneki: "General, is Miss Xiaowan apologizing?"
The corners of Shen Yu's mouth twitched and he replied with a wooden face: "Of course."
Jin Mu nodded happily and asked: "Then do you want to reply to her?"
Shen Yu's eyes were dim and unreadable, "No. Just go to the side courtyard and say... I understand what she means."
"Okay."
Jin Mu didn't dare to delay, so he immediately set off to the side courtyard.
*
"Then what?" Wen Wan lay on the rocking chair, "He said that after he understood, he didn't say anything else?"
Kaneki didn't know why and looked confused.
Wen Wan sat upright, "Then did he agree to what I said?"
Jin Mu was ignorant. According to the general's habit, if he didn't refuse, he would agree.
Besides, if it was something Miss Xiaowan wanted to do, the general would probably agree.
"I agreed." Jin Mu replied after careful consideration.
Wen Wan showed a surprised expression and whispered, "I didn't expect him to be so reasonable this time."
She paused and said with a smile: "Okay, since he agreed, then Winn and I will go find the yard tomorrow. We will find the yard and move out as soon as possible."
"Looking for a yard? Move out?"
The more Kaneki listened, the more he felt something was wrong, "You wrote in the letter that you wanted to move out?"
Oops, there seems to be a big misunderstanding.
