Chapter 569: Undercover
Dugu Sinan touched his chin and thought about it, but still said frankly: "This line of thinking is in the right direction." Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ο½ο½ο½Uο½Eγ ο½ο½ο½ο½β
"Thank you, Dad. Jiang Chengzi smiled and coquettishly.
"But I can't think of a specific way to do it at the moment. After all, Li Shimin is not an ordinary person, if you make any moves, I am afraid that he will be quietly calculated. Dugu Sinan's expression was very solemn.
"Naturally, we can't do it, and we don't have to do these things. Jiang Chengzi said it rightly. She and Li Ke have always been very clear, and when it comes to Li Shimin, they won't do it if they can, and don't do it themselves if they can borrow someone else's hand.
"Then do you have a suitable candidate?" Dugu Sinan asked curiously. When he saw his daughter's smile, he understood that his daughter probably had a full plan.
"Li Chengqian, the prince of the Tang Dynasty. Jiang Chengzi said slowly.
"Yes, he's the best fit. Dugu Sinan agrees very much.
"Anyway, thank you Dad. "Jiang Chengzi is really grateful.
Dugu Sinan laughed and said, "Ah Zi, father and daughter, don't be so polite." β
"Good. Jiang Chengzi replied very dryly, and then coquettishly, "Dad, I want to listen to "The Wind Swings the Green Bamboo". β
"Good. Dugu Sinan was sitting upright, playing "The Wind Swings the Green Bamboo" seriously, and when the song was finished, he found that Jiang Chengzi had fallen asleep on the desk.
Dugu Sinan sat down beside her, staring at her face seriously, with tears in his eyes. His heart was surging and surging, and he secretly swore that in this bloody Tang Dynasty, he would do his best to learn in his life, and take out all those conspiracies and conspiracies at the bottom of the box to fight with the magnates of Chang'an City, so as to ensure that his daughter's life is safe and smooth.
The daughter's face looks like that of a wife. His thoughts flew around, and the people he was most sorry for in his previous life were his wife and daughter. He resolutely left them for the sake of his archaeological career. In the difficult years of Datang, he regretted it countless times. Today, I heard from my daughter that after he went, his wife committed suicide.
At that time, he only felt that his liver and intestines were broken, but his daughter was there, and he was not too gaffe. But now when I think about it, even my breathing hurts. After he and his wife belonged to the same wealthy family, although they were matchmakers, the two fell in love at first sight. Later, his wife felt that he should pursue a career in politics or business for the sake of his wife's and daughter's future, and he insisted on going to archaeology. In the end, due to disagreement, the two quarreled and parted ways. And her daughter Jiang Chengzi took it to her grandmother.
When there was no accident, they were screwed by each other, thinking that the world was long enough, twisting and twisting, waiting for each other to compromise. But the unexpected can happen at any time, and everything is caught off guard.
He thought about it, and before he knew it, he burst into tears. He raised his sleeve and wiped his tears, looking at his daughter's relaxed sleeping face, but he had to think longly: Maybe his wife is also in this time and space, waiting for the family to meet.
He sat quietly beside his daughter, it was very quiet outside, with the occasional croaking of frogs, and the noise of the crowd in the distance.
Sinan felt that his feet were a little numb, looking at the hourglass of the copper kettle next to him, it was about to be the second watch. He wanted his daughter to stay by his side, but his daughter may not have greeted others when she went out today, and her disappearance will be like a big enemy on the Yang Mansion.
So, Dugu Sinan pushed Jiang Chengzi and shouted softly: "Nannan, Nannan." β
Jiang Chengzi was woken up, rubbed his sleepy eyes, smiled hesitantly, and said, "I used to listen to my father's "Wind Swinging Green Bamboo" before going to bed, and I really fell asleep at this time. β
Dugu Sinan was sad when he heard it, but he just smiled and said, "When I have a chance in the future, Dad will often play it for you." Isn't it time for you to go back today? Look, it's the second watch. β
Jiang Chengzi nodded "uh, uh, uh", rubbed his numb legs again, and said, "It's time to go back, my aunt is pregnant, you have to know that I am gone, and I have to be greatly frightened." β
"Then, is it convenient for you to go back?" Although Dugu Sinan knew that his daughter was hanging up here, he was still not at ease, and suspected that his daughter was relieved to him.
"Dad, don't worry. Jiang Chengzi could see at a glance that he was worried.
"Well, then you can go back. "He was really reluctant, but he had to let her go back.
Jiang Chengzi stood up and nodded, looked at the sky outside the house, and said to Dugu Sinan very seriously: "Dad, I have a few things to deal with at the moment, which may be tricky. The Dugu family must have some big secret, and the enemies of the Dugu family are estimated to be in Chang'an. Therefore, I will not come back to you for a short time. β
"I know. Dugu Sinan replied, feeling melancholy.
"Dad, you don't stand still for the time being, everything is as usual. Jiang Chengzi advised.
"Don't worry, I'll stay at home. Dugu Sinan also has his own plans, according to what his daughter said today, based on his archaeological findings, study the intricate factions in Chang'an today, and find a safe way to bring down the Changsun clan.
"You have this bag of gold leaves, everything needs to be taken care of. Jiang Chengzi said.
"Good. Dugu Sinan did not shirk and put a bag of gold leaves in the bag.
Jiang Chengzi pushed the door out, listened to the surroundings calmly, and found that there was no one else. Then he looked at the direction of the house, discerned the direction, and then, like a night bird, swept by at great speed, and went out of Pingkangfang.
Outside Pingkangfang is the main street, and the officers and soldiers on night patrol are walking around. Jiang Chengzi waited in the shadow of the fang wall for a while, and then swept through the streets of Chang'an unconsciously and landed steadily in the flowers outside the "Orchid Garden".
Orchid Garden was her residence, and before she went out, she told the two maids that she wanted to sleep and not to disturb her. Now the two maids were at the door, hesitating to go in and wake up their girl. After all, it's been a long time since dinner, and my own girl hasn't moved.
"Ruilan, do you want to wake up the Ninth Girl?" another maid named Xuemei asked in a low voice.
"The ninth girl said don't disturb her, let's wait here. Ruilan said solemnly.
"But it's past dinner time, and it's too long to sleep. Xuemei muttered.
"Xuemei, as a subordinate, the master's words are absolute. You just wait. Ruilan said again.
Xuemei didn't speak, but after all, she was not at ease, and suggested: "Otherwise, I'll take the food back to the kitchen." β
The food was brought back to the kitchen without being touched, and the kitchen would definitely notice it, and the sixth lady would definitely notice it. Waiting for the Sixth Lady to inquire, this is different.
Xuemei's move was very smart, but Ruilan frowned and said, "You're making such a fuss, just wait." After the third watch, the girl hadn't gotten up yet, so we went in and had a look. Now that the sixth lady is pregnant, it is really not good to disturb her peace. β
Xuemei didn't speak, and the two stood at the door and waited. Jiang Chengzi turned to the other side of the wall, and with the help of the lantern under the eaves of the porch, he straightened the blades of grass on his body, and then gently turned in from the back window.
There was no lamp in the house, but the night made no difference to her. Therefore, she calmly walked to the bed, and after changing the men's clothes, she yawned and opened the door, rubbing her sleepy eyes, and shouting, "Abi, what time is it?"
"Girl, Sister Abi will be here in a few days. Na Ruilan replied immediately.
"Girl, it's the third watch, are you hungry?" Xuemei also asked.
"I'm hungry, get me something to eat. Jiang Chengzi said.
Ruilan immediately instructed Xuemei to get food, saying that the food was still warm in the kitchen. Ruilan personally fetched water to freshen her up. Jiang Chengzi looked at himself in the mirror, and felt more and more that this face looked more and more like himself in his previous life.
I don't know if it will be the same as before when I become an adult. She thought to herself, and Ruilan had already combed her hair.
"Ruilan, this Orchid Garden has been working hard for you and Xuemei for a while. Just wait for Abi and the others to come. Jiang Chengzi said.
Rui Lan immediately said, "Yes." β
This Ruilan bought the maid of the Yang Mansion in Chang'an. Jiang Chengzi picked her, just because she felt that her expression was stable and restrained, and she was very stable. But looking at the response to tonight's events, it's not easy.
"Ruilan, which family was your former master?" Jiang Chengzi asked casually while cleaning his hands.
Rui Lan was stunned, and a touch of sadness suddenly flashed on her face, and then she said in a calm tone: "Back to the girl, the servant is the queen of the sin." β
"After the sinner?" Jiang Chengzi originally didn't expect Rui Lan to say directly.
"Yes. The servant's father and brother are far from the guards of the Xuanwu Gate, and they are the subordinates of Prince Yin. Ruilan said slowly, "All the men in the family were killed, and the women were in the barracksβ"
Rui Lan said this, but did not say any more, and her face was not very good-looking. Jiang Chengzi also understood what Ruilan was referring to, and the dependents of these criminal courtiers were sent to the barracks as military prostitutes.
"Then you also entered the barracks?" Jiang Chengzi asked.
Rui Lan nodded slowly and said, "I was sent to the barracks and rescued by a little general. From then on, the servant served the little general. β
"Then this time, did the little general send you to my side to go undercover?" Jiang Chengzi said lightly, as if he was telling a joke.
Rui Lan pouted and knelt down and said, "No, no, the little general is deceased. I'm still a slave, and that's why I've been sold. Girl, the servant has been practicing martial arts since she was a child, and she can protect you. β
"Protect me?" Jiang Chengzi looked at her with a smile.
"Yes. The servant is a general in the family, and the servant is also a martial artist from elementary school. After the little general rescued the servant, he has been training the servant. Ruilan replied.
Jiang Chengzi didn't ask who the little general was, and suddenly drew his sword and stabbed Ruilan. The speed was extremely fast, Rui Lan was startled, and retreated again and again, finally avoiding it, but Jiang Chengzi's sword tip still cut through her clothes.
This Ruilan kung fu is really good, and the martial arts are strong and not domestic, so naturally they can't stay around.
Jiang Chengzi put the sword into the sheath and asked rhetorically: "Do you think that saving you at this level can protect me?"
Rui Lan was stunned, Jiang Chengzi's eyes turned cold, and said, "You are hiding deep enough." These days, I check the slaves and maids, who are from which family, and what identity I have, but I have control. Only you, because it was sent by Penglai Palace, I was careless. β
"It seems that the old lady took a lot of money from you, otherwise how could she put you in the maid sent by Penglai Palace. Jiang Chengzi sneered, and then said, "That old lady has also lived long enough." β
"Please, girl, don't deal with her, she, she is my gratitude to my mother for saving her life. I begged her to point me to a good family, and she happened to help the squire's mansion procure slaves and maids, so she brought me here. Ruilan prostrate on the ground and pleaded.
"Be honest, I might consider a request for consideration. Jiang glanced at her.
"Yes. Ruilan heard that there was room for turnaround, so she said that the person who saved her back then was the second son of Cheng Zhijie's family.
Because Cheng Zhijie and her father are old acquaintances, she has also seen this Cheng Ergongzi. At that time, Cheng Ergongzi was in the barracks, so he took her away. But her identity can't get rid of her slave status, so she has been serving Cheng Ergongzi. But Cheng Ergongzi's life was thin, and he died in Longyou Road soon after. She was still an official slave, and she couldn't get rid of her slave status, so she had to continue to enter the slave trading house.
"Really?" Jiang Chengzi seemed to be smiling, his eyes were very bright, and Rui Lan felt cold all over. She had never seen such a terrible look in her eyes, as if she was going to shoot someone straight away.
"Yes. Ruilan replied cautiously.
"Do you think that when I first entered Chang'an, the sixth room of the Yang family, I didn't know about this big family in Xijing. Jiang Chengzi said with a smile.
"No, the servant has no such intention. Ruilan hurriedly kowtowed.
Jiang Chengzi ignored her kowtow and continued: "I know everything about this Chang'an Gaomen. Cheng Ergongzi died on the battlefield, since you are his maidservant, with Mrs. Cheng's character, it is impossible not to accept you to the Guogong Mansion. Say, 'Who sent you?'
Rui Lan was stunned, but she still made up her mind and insisted that Cheng Ergongzi was afraid that Grandpa Guo would say that he took away the military prostitute, and he never let the family know about her existence.
"Cheng Ergongzi is deceased, you still have to splash dirty water. Jiang Chengzi couldn't listen anymore, no matter who it was, no matter how decent his behavior was, he couldn't stay.
"Son-in-law, son-in-law, son-in-law. Ruilan defended again and again. Xuemei stood at the door at a loss with her meal in hand.
"Xuemei, go and call someone to come and sell Ruilanfa. Jiang Chengzi said without any doubt.
As a result, this movement was too big, and Aunt Xiu ran over to ask, Jiang Chengzi glanced at her and said, "This fang slandered the second son of the Guogong Mansion, this is really a disaster for my Shilang Mansion, and his heart can be punished." Send it out, so that the sales documents are also clearly written. wrote that this woman is serious and knows kung fu, but she is quite scheming, and she loves to tell right and wrong, and she has been taught repeatedly, so she was sold. β
Xiuhong didn't dare to say anything, but said yes again and again, and ordered someone to drag Ruilan away quickly.
Jiang Chengzi solved Ruilan, and then recruited Xuemei and said: "Your master and I still have some friendship, I don't embarrass you." In the past few days, you will serve well in the Orchid Garden, and when my servants come back, I will send you back. β
When Xuemei heard this, she quickly cried and said, "Girl, you can leave me." I'm going back, and Childe will beat me to death. β
"He won't. Jiang Chengzi said firmly.
"No, he would. Xuemei's head shook like a rattle.
Jiang Chengzi didn't speak, only looked at her with a sinking face for a long time. Xuemei was very scared, so she asked timidly: "Girl, you, will you keep me?"
"I'll see how your kung fu is. Jiang Chengzi said, grabbed a bronze Xiaoding on the desk and threw it straight over.
