Chapter 282: Strange
At night, a sturdy shadow quickly swept over the not-so-high wall of the Huiyuan Village and jumped into the courtyard. The closed gate of Qianzhuang, the soldiers on duty during the day have left, the door is pasted with the seal of the government, stamped with the seal of Dali Temple, and the ordinary people dare not approach easily.
The sturdy shadow approached the room, gently lifted the window, and jumped in. It was pitch black in the room, and the shadow groped around for it, found a fire fold and lit it, discerned the direction, and went in the direction of the bookkeeper.
Soon, the shadow came out, jumped over the wall the way it came, flew away, and disappeared into the night.
After the shadow disappeared, the lights in the room turned on instantly, and two people walked out of the room, one was petite and the other was covered with a silver mask, it was Gu Zhirong and the young master of Baojian Hall.
"Brother, sure enough, someone came to steal the ledger. Gu Zhirong looked at the young master and smiled slightly.
"Sister Rong, your trick lured the snake out of the hole, and it really lured the snake out. The young master looked at her approvingly, "I didn't expect that someone would really come to steal the ledger." β
Gu Zhirong shook his head slightly: "Actually, I'm not sure, so I asked you to help seal Huiyuan Bank, and sure enough, as expected, they will take action immediately." β
The young master frowned and asked, "Is it from the second room?"
After experiencing many incidents, Gu Zhirong at this time already regarded the young master as his most reliable friend, and he did not shy away from telling him about the situation in his house. γ
At this time, she already regarded the young master as a friend she could rely on in this world. This trust, even if it is her fiancΓ© Lu Dagongzi. She never had either.
She didn't know it, but this trust grew deeper.
She nodded: "The second sister is from the big house, and it is impossible for the big house to harm herself." In the Mansion of the Marquis of Yuanning. Those who have the strength to fight with the big house, and those who have the ambition to compete with the big house for the crown princess, only have the second room. β
The young master said: "In this way, this person is Luo sent from the second room? I think this person is extraordinary, and he should be a talent." β
Gu Zhirong smiled: "A few days ago, a young master from the second room came to visit, and I heard that he came from Tongzhou. I don't know if the young master can remember the Tongzhou martial champion a few years ago?"
"Wu Zhuangyuan a few years ago?" the young master was surprised. "How could a dignified martial artist do such a stealing thing?"
Gu Zhirong looked at the young master and shook his head slightly: "Brother's words are wrong, it's not that he wants to do such a thing. He was asked to do it. β
The young master was puzzled: "He is also an adult, he can think, and he has the ability to discern, how can he do whatever people want him to do?"
Gu Zhirong turned his head to look at him: "If you meet my fourth sister with great powers." You'll be obedient too. β
The young master raised his eyebrows: "Oh." I don't believe it. β
Gu Zhirong didn't argue with him, and changed the topic and said: "Fourth sister's trick is wonderful, I want to steal the account book, never suffer in the future, and sit back and relax." But in this way, he exposed his fox tail. I wasn't quite sure if this matter was related to the fourth sister, but now I can be sure. β
The young master didn't look at those account books, he just followed Gu Zhirong's entrustment. I sealed the money bank and messed up those ledgers. Everyone's concerned about the ledger tonight. I couldn't help but ask, "What is recorded in that ledger, and why are you all so nervous about that ledger?"
"Is it in that account book?" Gu Zhirong looked at him and smiled, "Isn't there an ancient saying that there are clouds, there is a golden house in the book, and there is Yan Ruyu in ......the book?
The young master glanced at her: "I mean serious. β
Gu Zhirong said solemnly: "Actually, there is nothing in that account book. β
"Nothing?" the young master was surprised, "You asked me to put on such a big formation and lure him over to steal the account book, but there was nothing in it?"
"That's right. Gu Zhirong nodded, "Otherwise, what do you think will be inside?"
The young master wrinkled his brows and looked at Gu Zhirong, he seemed to be a little unable to understand what the little girl in front of him was thinking.
"Brother, don't frown, frowning like a little old man, it's not good-looking. Gu Zhirong said coquettishly, and reached out a little mischievously to stroke his eyebrows under the silver mask, his eyebrows were very handsome and beautiful, and they grew obliquely into the sideburns, which was completely different from that of the eldest prince of Lu.
The eldest prince of Lu is a scholar, and there is always a kind of gentleness between his eyebrows, but the young master is different, he is a person who has achieved great things, has lofty ambitions, and has a mysterious identity, and his body is always filled with a sense of nobility that comes from nowhere.
Gu Zhirong is a time-traveling person, in his previous life, when he often discussed with his girlfriends about which rich boy and brother, he always had to say that it was difficult to raise extravagance. This innate temperament is not something that can be built up by money, so what is a nouveau riche and what is a real upper-class person can be seen from this aspect.
And the young master who is standing in front of him now obviously belongs to the latter.
"What are you thinking?" Seeing Gu Zhirong's trance, he couldn't help asking, "Or is your body uncomfortable?"
"Ah, nothing. Only then did Gu Zhirong come back to his senses. What's wrong with me today, all along, I have never seriously studied this young master of Baojian Hall, and I have never compared him with Grand Master Lu.
She doesn't want to compare, and she doesn't want to compare. She knows that in a person's life, it is inevitable to meet a lot of good people, and Master Lu is the best person she has met at this stage, and she also owes a lot to Master Lu. She is a person who admits death, and since she has recognized it, she will not regret it.
It's just that subconsciously comparing the two of them like this still makes her blush. Seeing him ask this question today, he couldn't help but be embarrassed all of a sudden, and hurriedly changed the topic: "It's not early, let's go back." β
As soon as he turned around, he hurried to walk. But the light was dim, and if I didn't pay attention, I stepped on the empty stone steps, and my body was crooked, and I was about to fall.
The young master's eyes were quick, and he ran over at once, wrapping his arms around her waist. Looking at each other, both of them froze for a moment.
The young master's gaze is as deep as the ocean, but there is a calming force, like a magnet, which makes people involuntarily fall into it.
I don't know how long it took for Gu Zhirong to realize that his whole body was lying in the crook of someone else's arm. After all, she had never had such a close contact with him, she couldn't help but be embarrassed, her face was "brushed" red, and she quickly broke free, her face was like a fire, and her heart was beating uncontrollably.
The young master was nothing, smiled, and acted as if nothing had happened.
"We're going back soon, and if it's too late, it'll be dawn. Gu Zhirong said as he went to look for the carriage parked in the backyard.
The young master looked up at the sky, it was still dark, where was the light? Also, there were four drums not far away, and this was only the fourth watch......
Knowing that she was thin-skinned, he smiled, didn't say anything, followed her, and came to the backyard.
In the backyard, Qin Lu was waiting anxiously. After he became famous, he actually fell to the point of becoming a coachman. Moreover, he still drove the car for Miss Gu Wu, who he didn't like, not to mention how unhappy he was in his heart. However, in front of the young master, he didn't dare to show it.
Seeing Miss Gu Wu and the young master walk out one after the other, he exhaled softly.
Thankfully, nothing happened.
Now, although he has been recuperating for a period of time, he has not yet recovered his state, not to mention the young master, he was stabbed by the sword next to the heart, which is quite dangerous, and the imperial doctor Hu of the Taiyi Pavilion said that he has to recuperate for half a year to avoid sequelae.
And this Miss Gu Wu is so ignorant of practice, don't you know that the young master is injured, and she has to ask the young master to come out to see the thief stealing things, really! )
