Chapter 279: Another Chess Piece

He Ronglan suddenly came to her senses, and she was really startled when Miss Gu Wu of the Yuanning Marquis Mansion suddenly appeared on the day of the Queen Mother's birthday banquet.

"Yuan Qin, I'll tell you honestly, Gu Xiaowu died when he went to Jiangzhou, my cousin was a servant in Jiangzhou, and he also participated in the rescue operation at that time, I remember it very clearly, he told me that the name of the fifth lady of the Yuanning Hou Mansion was recorded on the death list, but I don't know what the reason was, she was suppressed and did not report to the capital, so you Yuanning Hou Mansion did not know the news. But ......"

He Ronglan glanced at Gu Yuanqin: "But fortunately, it wasn't reported, otherwise, if there was such a big oolong incident, the official master of Jiangzhou would be held accountable." ”

Gu Yuanqin sneered: "I know why I didn't report it, it must be the people from Baojian Hall who are helping her, maybe her life was also saved by the people of Baojian Hall." ”

"Baojian Hall?" He Ronglan was not too surprised when he heard this name, after all, this Baojian Hall was too famous in the capital and even in the Jokhang Kingdom.

"Yuan Qin, do you mean the Baojian Hall that controls the Capital Chamber of Commerce?" He Ronglan's eyes widened, "How could that Gu Xiaowu of your family have anything to do with the Baojian Hall?"

Gu Yuanqin didn't speak, thinking hatefully: No wonder she and her mother bribed the killer to go to Jiangzhou to assassinate Gu Xiaowu, and the whole army was wiped out, but she injured one of the arms of the eldest prince of Lu, it turned out that it was because someone from Baojiantang was helping her!

Baojiantang has great powers, and no one knows its origin, but in just a few years, branches can be opened all over the country. and controlled the Beijing Chamber of Commerce, and its power should not be underestimated.

It seems that he will move Gu Xiao Wu in the future, but I'm afraid it will be a little difficult.

But......

A smile tugged at the corner of her lips.

There are some things that you really don't have to do yourself. A lot of things can be taken advantage of. For example, wouldn't it be better to use the power of the big house to suppress the third room, and to reap the benefits of the fisherman?

When the farewell came out, He Ronglan actually sent Gu Yuanqin to the Hanging Flower Gate in person, smiling diligently, until she couldn't see Gu Yuanqin's back, and then turned back to the house.

Out of the house. When he got into the carriage, Ziyan smiled and said, "Miss, you didn't see Miss He San's expression just now." I almost thought of you as a savior, and I almost knelt down and kowtowed. ”

Gu Yuanqin sneered: "What's this, this He Ronglan's temperament is like this, he only knows how to enter." I don't know what to do. But whatever is good for her. She's so kind to you. If it is not good for her, I am afraid that she will run faster than a rabbit. But ......"

Gu Yuanqin smiled: "I'm in need of a helper now, it's always good to have one more teammate." Maybe she's still a good pawn. ”

When I returned to the Yuanning Hou Mansion, as soon as I entered the Hanging Flower Gate, I heard people report that the young master was waiting to see Miss in the main hall of the Agarwood Courtyard.

Gu Yuanqin smiled happily, he didn't expect this cousin to be really anxious, and he hadn't gone to find him yet. He came to the door on his own.

After taking two steps, she suddenly remembered something. asked Ziyan on the side: "Who is waiting on my mother's side now?"

Ziyan glanced at her young lady suspiciously, and said: "Now there are mainly Mother Feng, Lixiang, and Mingcui in Mingcui Courtyard, these three people often wait in front of Madame, and as for the other third-class girls, there are Xiaohong, Evergreen, ......."

Gu Yuanqin waved his hand: "Don't worry about those people, you go and tell Mother Feng and them, in the future, wait for Mrs. to concentrate on it, no matter who Mrs. has seen, who she has contact with, where she went, and what she said, she must report to me." If they can't, let them be careful. In the end, the tone turned out to be fierce.

Ziyan looked at her young lady in surprise. Is this an order from my own lady to spy on my wife?

Ziyan didn't dare to respond rashly, and thought for a while: "Miss, now in Mingcui Courtyard, although since Mrs. is sick, you have taken over to manage all the affairs in the second room, Lixiang and Mingcui, the two girls are easier to handle, these two people are timid, and the slave maid will scare her." But Feng's mother ......"

Ziyan raised her head a little embarrassed and looked at her young lady: "This Mother Feng was brought over by Madame when she married into the Yuanning Marquis Mansion, and she can be regarded as an old man in the mansion, she only listens to Madame alone on weekdays, and the slave maid said to her like this, I am afraid that she may not be willing to listen......

Gu Yuanqin sneered, if she wasn't ten percent sure that she could summon them, she wouldn't have spoken so much.

"Ziyan, you just go and tell her. If she is reluctant, you can mention to her that Liu Laosan in Beixiang Hutong, and she will naturally agree. ”

Ziyan glanced at her young lady suspiciously, answered, and turned around.

Gu Yuanqin smiled on the ground, straightened his clothes, and then walked towards the Agarwood Courtyard.

In the Agarwood Courtyard, Yu Xiaotong had been waiting there for a long time. He waited very anxiously, his eyes kept looking towards the gate of the courtyard, and when he saw Gu Yuanqin coming in, he hurriedly stood up and shouted: "Cousin Qin!"

The fourth lady put on a charming smile: "Cousin, you went to see the old lady, where did the old lady settle down and live for you?"

Yu Xiaotong pouted and said, "The courtyard in the northwest corner of the outer courtyard." ”

He is a rich son, his father is the history of Tongzhou Thorn, in the local is a tyrant, what do you want, the whole Yufu can be said to be the largest and most luxurious mansion in Tongzhou City, covering an area of nearly 1,000 acres, with pavilions and pavilions, flower beds and water pavilions. Moreover, on the side of the Thorn Mansion, he also has his own dedicated dock and boats, not to mention how comfortable it is.

Now, when he has come to the capital, lives in someone else's house, and is still nested in a small courtyard, can he be happy?

Gu Yuanqin saw his thoughts, and said with a smile: "Cousin, the Yuanning Marquis Mansion is located in the capital, and it can't compare to your Tongzhou. Every inch of land is expensive here in the capital, and there is no way to do it. That yard is also a little smaller, and I have wronged my cousin. Anyway, my cousin is also living temporarily, and after getting familiar with the capital, I will find a big mansion and repair it well, which will be much more comfortable. ”

Yu Xiaotong felt that what Cousin Qin said was also reasonable, so he let go of his unhappiness and asked, "Cousin Qin is right, I have this plan." This time, I came to Beijing with the intention of settling down in Beijing. My mother's intention was to let me live in the capital first, explore the market, and after settling down, I would bring the two elders to the capital together. ”

Gu Yuanqin said with a smile: "My cousin has such a plan, that's the best." My mother has always missed her aunt very much, and she has always had such plans. If my cousin and his family move to the capital, then my mother can often ask my aunt to come over to play leaf cards. ”

Yu Xiaotong smiled and said, "It seems that I want to go with Cousin Qin." “

Gu Yuanqin smiled, and said with a straight face: "Cousin, you obtained the title of martial champion a few years ago, but you have been unwell, and you have taken leave to recuperate at home, but now you are better?"

Yu Xiaotong's face couldn't help but turn red.

In fact, almost everyone knows that the reason for his "illness" is nothing more than that he thinks it is too hard to be a guard, and he can't stand this suffering. Now if he hadn't committed an accident in Tongzhou, his father confiscated his silver and asked him to come to the capital to find a job, and if he had established a career properly, maybe he would still be alive in Tongzhou as before.
