Children of Loulan

Chapter 16: Check-in to the Ku Mansion

Young Master: "Have you found out everything I asked you to find out?"

Follower: "I have found out clearly that this Miss Ainuer is the only lady in the Ku Mansion. Her parents dote on her very much. Although she is loved by everyone, she is not spoiled at all. On the contrary, she is very considerate!"

Young man: "Well, what else?"

Attendant: "This young lady is still unmarried. I heard that her mother is reluctant to let her go and wants to keep her for a few more years. Her mother also thinks that ordinary families are not worthy of her daughter, so she has not arranged a marriage for her."

Hearing this, the young man's mouth curled up slightly, thinking to himself, "It's good that she hasn't been engaged yet. I must marry her in the future."

It was just a fleeting thought, but he had already made up his mind. He slowly said:

"Well, okay, let's go, we should get down to business."

After the banquet, Ainuer, with the help of Hanguli and the maid, returned to the Moon Courtyard. Looking at her slightly swollen ankle, Ainuer frowned.

As soon as she helped her sit down, Hanguli shouted towards the door: "Is the doctor here?"

Maid: "Here it comes, here it comes!"

Hanguli looked toward the door and saw a doctor rushing over with a medicine box on his back. He looked at Ainur's foot, examined it carefully, and said:

"It's nothing serious. It will be fine after two days of applying medicine. Just be careful not to get out of bed and walk for the next two days!"

He took out the ointment, handed it to Hanguli and instructed:

"Once in the morning and once in the evening. Remember, you must not move around during these two days!"

Hanguli took the ointment and said softly:

"Thank you, doctor!"

The doctor didn't dare to accept her thanks, and quickly waved his hands and said:

"Miss, you are too polite. This is what I should do!"

Seeing the doctor's expression, Hanguli knew that he was afraid to accept the thanks, so she didn't say anything more. She just asked the maid to send the doctor out, and then she gently applied the ointment to Ainuer.

But as soon as she touched Ainuer's feet, Ainuer grimaced in pain and made a "ripping" sound.

Hearing Ainur's voice, Hanguli frowned and moved more gently, blowing gently while applying the medicine.

Feeling a slight coolness, Ainuer instantly felt less pain. Seeing Hanguli carefully applying ointment for her, she felt very happy and thought how nice it would be if she could always be a sister with Hanguli.

As she was thinking, Mrs. Luke's voice came from outside the door.

"how's it going?"

She asked worriedly as she walked anxiously.

"Mom, I'm fine"

Seeing her mother so anxious, Ainur quickly spoke to comfort her. As soon as she finished speaking, Mrs. Luke had already walked to her side. Looking at her feet, Mrs. Luke said with some distress:

"How come you sprained your ankle just walking on a flat road?"

After that, she looked at Hanguli who was applying medicine to her daughter and asked, "What did the doctor say?"

Hanguli: "Oh, it's nothing serious, it will be fine after applying medicine for two days!"

Mrs. Ruke was slightly relieved to hear that everything was fine. She had originally wanted to come along, but the master said that she had to go in person to see off Mohammed's family today, which showed their importance to Hanguli's family.

Fortunately, the doctor was invited to today's birthday party, otherwise he would not have come so soon.

As the sun sets and night falls, Hanguli sits in her home, watching her parents look depressed. She pats her brother on the shoulder. Mamtim looks up at her intently and asks:

"Sister, are you going to live in Kuturuk's house?"

Ever since he knew Kuturuk's plot, Mamtim never called him uncle again, because he felt that he did not deserve it. His family was sincerely grateful to him, but he was full of calculations and evil intentions, so there was no need for him to call him uncle anymore.

Hanguli was shocked at first, then she slowly asked: "Who told you?"

Mamtim: "It was Madam Luke. When she sent us out today, she said that the county magistrate would send a tutor to teach my sister the etiquette and rules of the palace!"

After hearing what her brother said, she looked up at her parents again. Her mother lowered her head and wiped her tears quietly, while her father smoked his pipe without saying a word.

Hanguli smiled slightly, touched her brother's head and said:

"Not so soon. Even if you come, you have to wait until after the New Year. Besides, I don't need to go to the Treasury before the New Year."

Hearing his sister's words, Mamtim's eyes suddenly lit up, but before he could speak, Muhammad spoke first:

"Not going? No, I still have to go."

Although he didn't want his daughter to go a thousand times, he knew in his heart that only in the treasury could his daughter learn the twists and turns among the rich and learn to see through the fake tricks, and these things were the skills that would allow his daughter to survive in the harem in the future.

So even though he was unwilling in his heart, he still told his daughter to go. It was not that he didn't want his daughter to stay at home, but because he could not teach his daughter anything at home. Instead of doing that, it would be better for his daughter to learn more skills to make a living.

After hearing his words, Hanguli naturally understood what her father was thinking. She said:

"Dad, the New Year is coming soon. These two days won't make a difference. Besides, I have already agreed with Master Ku that I will move to the Ku Mansion as soon as the tutor arrives after the New Year."

When Maimaiti just heard that his father didn't want his sister to stay at home, he was about to ask his father why he had to let his sister go to the treasury? However, before he could open his mouth, his sister spoke first. After hearing their conversation, Maimaiti could only pout and look at his father and sister helplessly.

At this time, Han's mother looked at the father and daughter, both of whom were considering each other, and she quickly said to her husband:

"Just let her stay at home for a few days. It's just a few days. After a few days, she will really leave!"

As she spoke, she began to cry again. Seeing his wife's tears, Muhammad did not say anything, but just held his wife's hand and silently comforted her.

At night, under the moonlight, Hanguli sat alone in front of the window, staring at the scenery outside in a daze. She was holding a pendant in her hand, and I wonder what she was thinking about?

But the pendant in her hand was the one that Ainur had just given her, and hers had disappeared inexplicably.

She had been wearing the pendant for more than ten years. It was still there this morning, but she found it was missing when she changed her clothes in the evening. She searched the whole house and yard for a long time but couldn't find it.

Although the pendant is not in very good condition, it was bought by my father when my mother gave birth to me. My father said that my mother had worked hard to give birth to a lovely daughter, so he bought a pendant for her. But later, when she was older, my mother gave the pendant to me, so I have always cherished it.

However, today, she lost it. When she found out it was lost, she was very sad, but Ainur gave her her pendant without saying a word. When she got Ainur's pendant,

She thought about it carefully again and guessed that it was accidentally knocked off by that person during the day. However, Ainuer sent people to check the entrance of the cloth shop, but still couldn't find it.

She thought it might have been picked up by someone. Looking at the pendant handed to her by Ainuer, she didn't want to reject Ainuer's kindness. She also didn't tell Ainuer the origin of the pendant because she felt it would be useless even if she told her and it would make Ainuer unhappy along with her.

As she was staring blankly at the moon, two young men on two horses were also staring blankly in the direction of the Treasury. One of the young men was holding an agate pendant in his hand.

The young man looked about fifteen or sixteen years old. Another young man behind him said:

"Sir, do you want me to arrange for someone to keep an eye on the movements here?"

Young Master: "Yes, but don't be too deliberate, so as not to be noticed!"

"Yes, I understand."

The person behind him answered.

The young man thought again:

"Forget it, there's no need to arrange for anyone to do this. Just bring the message when you move the goods next time!"

Because he didn't want his intention to be discovered by someone with ulterior motives. If he arranged for someone to do it right away, it would be easily discovered. So if he didn't do it deliberately, it wouldn't be easily discovered.

As he said this, he put the pendant back into his arms and continued:

"Arrange someone you can trust and keep an eye on her. If you want to arrange a marriage for her, find a way..."

He didn't finish what he was going to do, but the people behind him understood what he meant.

"Yes, my subordinates know!"

Young man: "Well, let's go!"

"drive"

Following the order, the horses took off at a rapid pace, raising a cloud of dust.

As time went by, Hanguli spent a simple Chinese New Year at home, and also celebrated her last birthday with her parents and family.

All these happy days will only be in her memory. No matter what happens in the future, she must be brave and move forward.

After settling everything at home, she went back to the Moon Courtyard. But unlike before, this time she stayed there until she set off for the palace.

The happiest person here is Ainur, because Hanguli really gets along well with her. Although she will only stay for a month at most and Hanguli will leave after a month, and she doesn't know if she will come back, she is indeed very happy at the moment.

Before that, Dal and Bayer cleaned the room where Hanguli had lived several times. Ainur checked it several times again and only then did she feel relieved because she wanted Hanguli to live more comfortably!
