Chapter 41 Arrangement
After a few days, Ji Tong quietly came to Yiliu Courtyard. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
“…… The slave has been ordering people to keep an eye on the movement in the courtyard day and night for the past few days, and Uncle Shen has no acquaintances in the capital, and he has been living in a simple house, almost never going out on weekdays, and no guests come to the door. ”
When Ji Tong said this, he paused for a moment, and his expression suddenly became a little subtle: "However, yesterday afternoon, Madame went to visit Fifth Uncle Shen. ”
In the eyes of outsiders, Shen and Shen Qian are cousins. It was a matter of course for Shen to visit Shen Qian.
Ji Tong looked strange, obviously sensing that something was wrong.
Gu Wanning sighed quietly: "Did my mother go to visit the fifth uncle?"
"Yes. Ji Tong reported in a low voice: "After Madame went to the courtyard, Fifth Uncle Shen was both happy and excited. deliberately welcomed the lady into the inner room to speak. ”
"The secret guard sent by the slave to keep an eye on him is inconvenient to sneak into the courtyard, and I don't know what Mrs. and Fifth Uncle Shen said in the inner room. I only knew that the lady had been in the house for about an hour. Mother Zheng personally guarded the door, and no maid was allowed to approach. ”
When the lady came out of the house, her eyes were slightly red, and she had obviously cried. ”
…… Although they are cousins and sisters, there is no need to be too formal, but when they meet, they should always be in the hall, and there are people around to serve them, which is the pomp that Mrs. Hou Fu should have.
When you go into a man's inner chamber alone, you stay for an hour. When I came out, I still looked like I had cried.
Something is wrong no matter how you think about it.
Ji Tong thought secretly in his heart, but he didn't talk much. I only reported the matter once. Then he lowered his hands and stood for command.
Ji Tong didn't look up, so he missed the coldness that flashed in Gu Wanning's eyes.
Continue to stare at Fifth Uncle Shen. After a while, Gu Guanning opened his mouth and ordered: "Find a way to let people into his yard." I want to know his every move. ”
Ji Tong accepted the order without hesitation.
Gu Wanning was silent for a moment, and then lightly ordered: "Fifth Uncle Shen lives alone in the courtyard, it must be quite lonely and lonely. You go and arrange it, find a famous scholar and befriend him. Remember, this person must have real talents. Also, there is a beautiful sister in the family who is waiting to be married. ”
The last sentence is meaningful and worth pondering.
Ji Tong: "......"
Gu Wanning raised his eyebrows slightly, and his voice was still indifferent: "What, is what I said difficult to understand?"
Ji Tong came back to his senses in an instant, and immediately bowed his head to receive the order: "The slave knows what to do." ”
The master's orders, no matter how unbelievable, the slave can't ask too much.
Gu Wanning snorted: "Everything should be done step by step, not too hasty." This matter is slowly being figured out, and it must not arouse the suspicion of Fifth Uncle Shen. ”
"Yes, the minion commands. Ji Tonghui agreed.
……
Ji Tong quickly stepped back.
Gu Wan sat quietly, a sneer rising at the corner of his lips.
Shen Qian and Shen fell in love when they were young, eloped in the middle of the night, and then lived incognito for a year, and after giving birth to Shen Qinglan, the two separated. In the years that followed, we only met once.
The relationship between the two is passionate, there is no doubt about it.
In her previous life, until the moment of Shen's death, Shen Qian was always by her side.
In this life, if there is a beautiful woman who is as gentle and lovely as a flower and falls in love with Shen Qian, will Shen Qian's heart for Shen be as solid as a rock?
If Shen Qian empathizes with him, it must be a fatal blow to the Shen family.
Taking a step back, even if Shen Qian never wavered, it would be a pleasure to add obstacles to the Shen family.
"Miss," Linlang walked in at some point, and said softly, "You have been sitting without speaking, and you have not summoned anyone to come in to serve, are you not in a good mood?"
After Ji Tong left, the young lady sat alone, her eyebrows condensed.
Such a young lady is somewhat strange and awe-inspiring.
A few maids in pearl glass didn't have the courage to approach at all. Linlang simply came in alone.
Gu Wanning came back to his senses and smiled at Linlang, who was concerned: "It's not. I just remembered something and lost my mind for a moment. ”
Linlang is the most empathetic, knowledgeable, and interesting, Gu Wanning didn't elaborate, she would never ask more, and opened the topic with a smile: "Pearl specially made some pastries today, how about the slave maid let her bring them to the young lady to taste?"
Gu Guanning nodded with a smile.
The maids who serve by her side have their own strengths, Linlang is very popular, exquisite, Yingluo is good at grooming, Liuli is good at using abacus, coral knows medical skills, and pearl cooking skills are wonderful.
Yiliuyuan has specially set up a small kitchen, and Gu Wanning's three meals a day are all from the hands of pearls. In addition to meals, Pearl often makes delicious pastries.
After a while, Pearl came with a plate of pastries with a smile: "Miss, the slave maid has picked some flower petals from the garden today and came back to make these pastries. Smell the fragrance. How about a taste, Miss?"
The plate of pastries is small and delicate, and each piece is made into a flower-like shape, lifelike, just looking at it can arouse people's appetite.
These pastries are not made with those cookie-cutter molds, but by the skillful pearls themselves.
Gu Wanning picked up a piece, took a bite gently, and tasted it slowly.
The entrance is soft and sweet, and the faint floral fragrance fills the mouth.
Pearl looked at Gu Guanning expectantly: "Miss, do these pastries taste okay?"
Gu Wanning has been dressed and eaten since he was a child, and he is the most picky. The color and fragrance are different, and they refuse to eat any of them. Although Pearl was quite confident in her craft, she was also a little nervous at this time.
Gu Wanning glanced at the pearl, did not speak, and slowly finished eating the pastry in his hand before nodding: "Shang Ke!"
In just two words, Pearl was very happy, and smiled crookedly: "It's good to be able to enter Miss's mouth." ”
Gu Wanning smiled casually: "You put the pastries in a food box and send them to Zhenghe Hall." Let's just say that this is my honor to my grandmother. ”
Pearl responded with a smile.
If Miss has anything to eat, she will never forget Mrs. Tai. It's no wonder that Mrs. Tai loves Miss so much! As for Madame's side...... Miss didn't mention it, it seems that she didn't plan to send it.
Linlang hesitated for a moment, and reminded in a low voice: "Miss, do you want to send another copy to Tingfengju?"
The relationship between the young lady and the lady has always been cold. In the past few days, it seems to have eased up a little on the surface, but in private, the young lady never mentioned the word madam. It's okay if Madame doesn't send it!
However, the young lady has always been very fond of the fourth young master. In the past, if there was anything delicious and useful, I didn't forget to send it to listen to Fengju. These days, Miss's attitude towards the fourth young master is much more indifferent......
"No need. Gu Guanning's voice was calm and calm, and he couldn't hear joy or anger: "Mother has always been very concerned about the fourth brother's food, clothing and daily life, and there is no shortage of these pastries in Tingfeng House. ”
Linlang and Pearl glanced at each other and said no more.
At this time, Linglong walked in quickly and reported with a smile: "Miss, the jasper beside Madame is here." ”
