Chapter 221: Exploiting the Evening Pearl
Gu Xiangyi, who had left Luojiang Ting, had a very solemn face and mixed feelings in his heart. I don't know if she was moved by Shao Zhongge, or she regretted her current situation, she held back her tears and walked step by step with drunkenness.
Yi Jingxiao held her shoulder, she simply hugged his arm, rested her head on his shoulder, and walked quietly.
With the investigation of Wen Zhongqiu, some things began to gradually surface.
Gu Xiangyi found that Wen Zhongqiu had not done anything in the Chen family recently, which couldn't help but make her a little puzzled. Although Chen Bingkun's official position is not high, his power in the imperial court is intertwined, and even those who are higher than his official position dare not provoke him openly.
Everyone knows that this person who has accompanied two generations of emperors is not easy to mess with.
But there are so many skilled craftsmen in the Chen family, why do you use Wen Zhongqiu?
Yi Jingxiao investigated in many ways and learned that not long ago, Wen Zhongqiu went south and picked up several Jiangnan women, half of whom were sent to Yewang's Mansion, and the remaining half was also divided into three parts, one was sent to Chen Bingkun's house, one was sent to Dongping Hou's Mansion, and the last person was sent to Luojiang Court for teaching.
Gu Xiangyi deeply understood why he wanted to send a single person to Luojiang Ting, because the people who spent money in Luojiang Court were all officials and lords, or the sons of whom's families and the grandsons of whom's families, and they couldn't be provoked by others if they pulled out the background casually, and this kind of place urgently needed a 'own person', so King Ye found a role and stuffed it into Luojiang Court, specifically for himself to inquire about information.
"That girl's name is Wanzhu, and when we went there yesterday, she was waiting for the nobles to eat and drink on the third floor. Yi Jingxiao said: "It was Shao Zhongge who told me." ”
"She's a leveraging one. Gu Xiangyi smiled faintly and didn't say anything more.
Spring is getting stronger, and the willow trees outside the wall reveal a little greenery.
The Yi family soon came to change the Geng post, saying that it was to discuss when to do a happy event, Gu Hengjun felt sorry for his daughter, and was afraid that his daughter would be wronged by marrying into the Yi family like this, so he deliberately stayed longer, saying that he was not in a hurry, after all, Yi Jingxiao's first brother was not married, and Gu Xiangyi's first sister was not married, so it is inevitable that people will talk about getting married.
So, this matter was put on hold for the time being, although Yi Jingxiao was anxious in his heart, he also understood that this kind of thing always counts if the old man speaks, otherwise it will be useless to let the Geng post reunite.
As Yi Jingxiao's family affair approached, Fang Yuchun began to be completely anxious, and searched for noble girls in the capital to give her son, but she still had many conditions, and she was very picky, and for a while she thought that this girl was a concubine, although her father was a high-ranking official, she couldn't give any help; for a while, she thought that the family had only been in business for a few years, and her family background was thin, and she was afraid that the dowry would not help her son; for a while, she thought that the lady of this family was a shrewd person, and she was afraid that the calculation of other people's daughters' dowries would be found to be unsightly。
Seeing that Fang Yuchun was entangled in these things every day, Yi Jingxiao was happy in his heart, after all, now that he and Gu Xiangyi were preparing to bring down the king of the industry, he had no time to deal with Fang Yuchun, of course it was best if she didn't come to trouble herself.
When the spring flowers had just bloomed, Gu Xiangyi and Yi Jingxiao had a trip to the river canal.
Tonight, Gu Xiangyi put on a man's clothes, his loose hair was pulled up, his face was smeared, and he looked like a man at a glance, and he startled Yi Jingxiao, who was waiting in the corner.
Under the cover of night, the two 'men' came to Luojiang Garden, and Gu Xiangyi was still very calm and said to the welcoming little man at the door: "I heard that your family has a new Jiangnan today, but is it true?"
Xiao Qi'er's face was full of smiles: "Your nobleman's ears are good! The Wanzhu girl on the third floor has only come for a short time, so let her serve you two to eat a pot of wine?"
"Okay, let's have a pot of cool spring!" Gu Xiangyi took out a big round ingots in his underwear, threw it at Xiao Qi'er, and said, "Listen to another song, you can play the piano, right?"
"Miss Wanzhu is proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, you see!"
is still the appearance of singing every night, Gu Xiangyi's steps are extremely steady, trying to learn the way a man walks, but her height is really not tall among men, and she looks a little awkward.
Yi Jingxiao walked behind her, and it was funny to see her awkward appearance.
This new girl from Wanzhu is really good-looking, with green eyebrows, pink face, shy affection in her eyes, fifteen or sixteen years old, and her appearance is quite good.
With a mouth, her voice was like a delicate warbler out of the valley, delicately pulling Gu Xiangyi's hand to help her sit down, and then turned her head to help Yi Jingxiao.
Looking at it at a glance, Gu Xiangyi felt a little uncomfortable?
As if seeing the displeasure on her face, Yi Jingxiao turned his hand behind his back and ignored Wanzhu.
"Are the two sons here to listen to the music?" Wanzhu knelt beside the two, and the jade hand held the wine jug and poured two glasses of wine.
Gu Xiangyi said casually: "What kind of instrumental music do you know?"
"The slave family is not talented, I learned the pipa for a while when I was young, and I know some guzheng, I don't know which one the son wants to hear?"
"Just the pipa. After Gu Xiangyi finished speaking, he raised his head and drank the wine.
The pipa played by the evening beads is very Jiangnan style, listening to it only feels relaxed and pleasant, as if seeing the boundless bamboo forest, feeling the rain as thin as cow hair, the sound is melodious, very good.
Towards the end of the song, I only heard Yi Jingxiao say slowly: "I don't know if Master Chen can help with this matter, if even he can't do it, then we can't do anything." ”
Gu Xiangyi sneered: "You are right to worry like this, after all, who dares to deal with the prince and ordinary people? Not to mention that there are many henchmen of the king of the industry above the court now, he naturally has to be more careful in doing things." ”
Hearing the word "King of Industry", the movements of Wanzhu's hands were still the same, but her ears were pricked up.
"The things that Lord Chen asked for have been given, but I'm afraid that if he doesn't help with the errands, we won't be able to steal chickens and rice!" Yi Jingxiao said with a pretended worry.
"Everything will be known in hindsight, and it is said that the impeachment of King Ye has already been prepared, and they will follow when Lord Chen takes the first step to present it to the emperor. ”
Gu Xiangyi glanced at Wanzhu and deliberately lowered her voice: "Let's just know this matter in our hearts, don't talk about it." ”
A pot of wine went down, and the sound of the pipa was very beautiful, Gu Xiangyi didn't forget to take advantage of it, but she just touched Wanzhu's hand, and when Wanzhu poured wine for her, she naturally put her hand on Wanzhu's hand, which made Wanzhu blush.
Before leaving, Gu Xiangyi didn't forget to pat Wanzhu's waist and said, "I'll come back tomorrow!"
Wanzhu smiled shyly: "Childe is worried about the slave family, how can the slave family not know?
This meaty scene provoked Yi Jingxiao to lose goosebumps all over his body.
As soon as the two of them left, the smile on Wanzhu's face suddenly disappeared, opened the window and looked at the street, the backs of the two of them were getting farther and farther apart, she lifted her skirt for convenience, rummaged in the house, found a few pieces of rice paper, and almost remembered what the two of them said.
