"What does the second sister think of this suggestion of mine?" Gu Zhirong looked at her with a smile, in this Gu Mansion, she felt that she was weak and had to have a helper.

From the incident of Miss Seven last year, she understood that this Yuanning Marquis Mansion was in danger, and if she was not careful, she would be framed for a crime, but it was different if she had a backer, especially someone like Miss Er, who had status and status.

In fact, the advice she made is also good for the second miss, if the second miss doesn't want to repeat the mistakes of the eldest miss, she will definitely consider her words seriously.

Sure enough, the second young lady didn't refuse immediately, but said, "I'll go back and think about it, but ......" She glanced at Gu Zhirong, "Don't get your hopes up." ”

Gu Zhirong responded to her with a smile: "I'm waiting for the good news from the second sister." said it confidently and firmly, so that the second lady herself felt as if she would definitely agree to this matter.

After three teas, the second miss got up and went back to her yard, Gu Zhirong got up to see him off, and went out of the courtyard, the second miss suddenly turned around and asked: "Xiao Wu, at the group meeting yesterday, did you know the secret of the Nine Turns Qiankun Pot, or did you not know?"

Gu Zhirong's expression remained unchanged: "That nine-turn Qiankun pot is so precious, I heard that it costs thousands of taels of silver, how can I have so much silver? Besides, does my sister think that I need to rely on such a side door to win the top spot?"

The second young lady glanced at Gu Zhirong very seriously, and finally said, "I didn't see the wrong person, you really aren't that kind of person." ”

After that, Wuzi took the green ring and left.

Gu Zhirong looked at the back of the second lady leaving, and suddenly stopped her: "Second sister, thank you for interceding in front of the old lady and lifting my grounding order." ”

The second young lady's body paused, her footsteps did not stop, and her words were transmitted in the wind: "Little Wu, you can do what you want as you want." ”

With a comfortable smile, Gu Zhirong kept watching the back of the second young lady disappear around the corner.

Cai Qing was puzzled: "Miss, what are you talking to the second lady just now, are you playing dumb riddles, why can't the slave and maid understand it at all?"

Gu Zhirong turned around and went back to the house, and while instructing Cai Qing to close the door of the courtyard, he said, "The second lady agreed to the conditions I proposed. ”

"Promised?" Cai Qing was inexplicable. How did the second lady agree, why didn't she hear it at all?

Back in the east wing, Gu Zhirong sat down on the pearwood square couch next to the south wall, and suddenly turned his head and asked, "Cai Qing, have you felt any changes in the fourth lady's agarwood courtyard these days?"

Cai Qing shook his head and said blankly: "No, during this time, the slave maid often went to the big kitchen to get food and came back, and I didn't find anything abnormal, and I didn't find any abnormal people moving around......"

Speaking of this, as if she remembered something, she suddenly paused and said: "Miss, don't you say that the slave and maid almost forgot, there is such a thing, that is, on the evening of Mu Jin's coming, didn't the young lady tell the slave and maid to go to the treasury to get Mu Jin's toiletries and bedding and other items? When the slave and maid walked back, she saw the figure of Caijuan in the second lady's house on a fork in the road, and she walked in a hurry, and the slave and maid shouted at her, and she seemed to see a ghost and glanced at the slave and maid, and ran away in a hurry. At that time, the slave maid still felt strange, Caijuan was a person in the second lady's house, why did she come out of the fourth lady's yard? Later, when I asked, it became clear that Caijuan had been called to the fourth lady's house to ask for needlework. ”

Gu Zhirong smiled coldly: "That's it." ”

Cai Qing vaguely felt that the situation was a little serious: "Miss, what the hell is going on?"

Gu Zhirong said: "It's nothing, it's just that if the fourth young lady comes to our house in the future, you have to pay more attention, this fourth young lady is not simple." ”

Cai Qing nodded as if she didn't understand.

At this time, Lu Shui walked in, covered the door, and took out a letter from his arms: "Miss, a letter from Mr. Lu." ”

Looking at the familiar handwriting on the cover of the brown paper, Gu Zhirong suddenly felt a warm heart, and after reading the content of the letter, he put the letter in his heart and smiled to himself.

In the blink of an eye, a few days passed.

Because he was drunk, Gu Zhirong simply took care of his illness and reported it to the old lady and the eldest lady. The old lady immediately spoke, saving the morning and dusk, and asked the treasury to send over a lot of valuable nourishing and maintenance herbs, and the treatment was the same as the attention that the second lady usually received.

I'm afraid that the eldest lady never thought that she would be a blessing in disguise, but she was valued by the old lady, which greatly disrupted her plan, and her nose must be crooked. As soon as he thought of this, Gu Zhirong felt very funny.

It was the eighteenth day of the seventh month.

Two days ago, Gu Zhirong proposed to the old lady and the eldest lady to stay in the Hanging Ji Temple for three days, and keep filial piety for the deceased mother on the sacrifice day of the deceased mother.

Of course, there was no reason to reject such a request, the old lady immediately agreed, and the eldest lady glanced at Gu Zhirong, hesitated, and agreed.

On that day, the carriage was prepared in the backyard early, and it was no longer the greedy Chen Laosi who drove the car. As for this Chen Laosi, Gu Zhirong was only in a slight ill condition of the old lady, and when she went to visit, she occasionally showed her tone, saying that this Chen Laosi's driving skills were too indiscriminate, and she was dizzy. When I returned to the courtyard, I heard a word coming from the old lady's house, saying that the old lady immediately transferred Chen Laosi out of the house and sent him to the cemetery to guard the old lady's tomb.

When he heard the news, Gu Zhirong smiled. She knew when she was most powerful and noticeable, so she didn't need this privilege now, but when?

Of course, there is also the meaning of killing chickens and setting an example for monkeys, and those subordinates of the Yuanning Marquis Mansion really dare not snub Gu Zhirong anymore, for fear that if she says a word, disaster will fall on them.

Moreover, Gu Zhirong also heard a news, on the day Chen Laosi was taken to the cemetery, the second wife cried to the second master, saying that the gold and silver noodles she built a few years ago were outdated, and she had to make a new set, otherwise how could she go out to meet people.

Gu Zhirong remembered that the set of head noodles that the second lady was wearing now was made in early summer last year. It's only been a year now, and that style Gu Zhirong saw when the second lady wore it, it was very novel, and I believe it will not be outdated in another three or two years. And the second lady is so anxious to create a new set, and its inner story is self-evident.

And that person Chen Laosi, don't look at this little old man's age, but he is definitely a shrewd person, and a pair of small eyes are rolling around on weekdays. If he wants to blackmail the second lady, I'm afraid he needs at least a face-to-face price.

Of course, all this has nothing to do with Gu Zhirong, she idly watched the fight in the nest of the second room with a cold eye, or watched them do needlework while picking green water, or practicing calligraphy in the study, reading books under the grape trellis, or preparing some necessary items for going up the mountain, calculating the arrival of July 18.

Gu Zhirong was ready to stop, explained some matters to be paid attention to by Mu Jin, the green water jade cicada, and then took Cai Qing and drove away.

Just as her carriage went out of the back door and drove to the Hanging Ji Temple, on a fork in the road next to her, she saw a Qingpeng carriage that had been parked there early suddenly moved and quietly followed her carriage.
