"It seems so. Qin Ji said.

Yu Mingzhi asked: "Is it because the Shangshu of the Criminal Department is clever, or is it the intention of King Yi to do this? Why have they been doing such a thankless thing recently?

Qin Ji patted her hand, "I have to check again." ”

The maids brought hot water and breakfast, and withdrew silently.

Qin Ji washed his face and sat on the soft couch, Yu Mingzhi brought a thin quilt, "Are you resting at home for a while, or do you have to go to the yamen?"

"I invited Gu Shilang to speak, and when we were done, we had to go back to Guo's house. Qin Ji said and took a sip of strong tea. They are all accustomed to the maids, who know his habits, and every time they come back after an all-night outside, they will prepare strong tea to refresh themselves.

Yu Mingzhi looked at Qin Ji's tea cup and suddenly remembered that today was the day when the bride and her husband returned to the door. Because of yesterday's incident, she almost forgot about it, and couldn't help but smile bitterly: "It seems that neither of us can rest." ”

"Go and come back. Originally, you had nothing to do with their family, but when the time comes, find a reason to go first, who would dare to stop us? Now everything is safe in Beijing, and there will be no changes, don't worry. He stroked her hair tenderly, his eyes full of love and doting.

Yu Mingzhi leaned over and stuck to his warm and firm chest, even if it was a hot summer day, he would not feel the slightest heat.

She felt reassured when she heard the sound of a strong, powerful heartbeat.

Not much, Zhu'er whispered outside: "Childe, madam, Gu Shilang and Mrs. Gu have arrived." ”

Qin Ji straightened his clothes and led Yu Mingzhi back to the hall.

When Mrs. Gu saw a pair of beautiful people coming hand in hand. The smiling eyes narrowed into a slit, and he got up and went over, "Mrs. Qin." ”

"Hello Mrs. Gu. "Gu Shilang is one level higher, and Yu Mingzhi said hello thoughtfully.

Madam Gu held her hand, "Madam Qin doesn't have to be polite. But I'm here to bother you, and when I heard that Zhongyi was coming, I insisted on coming to see you. ”

"Mrs. Gu cares about me, it's too late for me to be happy. Yu Mingzhi said with a smile.

The maids brought the tea and quietly retreated, and Qin Ji and Gu Shilang did not avoid their respective wives and talked about last night's incident.

"There was no movement at the gates of the four directions. The Yiwang Mansion is peaceful. What about the Imperial City?" Qin Ji asked.

Gu Zhongyi said: "It's the same as you." I have listened to the silk and bamboo blowing for most of the night, no wonder the emperor has been exempted from the early dynasty today. ”

Qin Ji smiled. I think back then, when the emperor was still the crown prince, he never wanted to do the homework left by his husband. It's all to see the graceful dancing posture of the palace maids in the East Palace. He imitated the emperor's handwriting, wrote his homework, and handed it in. This makes their relationship one step deeper. It's just that after the first emperor was old and sick, he no longer wrote on his behalf, and the emperor had to write everything himself. Gradually, in the name of rustiness, he no longer wrote for the emperor. However, he still has this ability to this day, and he is still quite accustomed to taking it out occasionally, and the emperor has always been negligent in handling the government and pushing it to them, so he doesn't know what he has done.

He took a sip of tea and said, "It's hard to be sorry for Gu Shilang." ”

Gu Zhongyi waved his hand, "It's okay, it's okay, but you're the most dangerous." Speaking of this, he couldn't help but glance at Qin Ji's newlywed wife, and saw that she was chatting with his wife in a low voice, with a gentle and lovely expression between her eyebrows, and her demeanor was peaceful, as if she hadn't noticed his words at all, he breathed a sigh of relief slightly, and continued: "If King Yi wants to do something, the first thing he has to do is to control the Sifang City Gate. When they hate you for a long time, they will surely take you first. ”

Qin Ji gently put down the teacup and said with a smile: "They also have to have that ability." ”

The two looked at each other and smiled, and Gu Zhongyi said, "Have you found any clues about this matter?"

Qin Ji said: "The second young lady of the Ban family is the illegitimate daughter of the Shangshu of the Criminal Department. Then, he told Gu Zhongyi about the part he had guessed before and after the incident and Yu Mingzhi.

Gu Shilang nodded, "I see, this second young lady is really good to think about." The more he thought about it, the more frowning he became, "If you let it go, I don't know what kind of moth will come out, and you must get rid of this person as soon as possible." ”

Qin Ji responded: "Indeed, I have to go back to the door today, this matter is bothering Gu Shilang to run away?"

"Good. Gu Zhongyi replied without thinking, although he knew that this was a life-threatening matter, he and Qin Ji were grasshoppers on a rope, one was prosperous and the other was lost, and his business was naturally his.

"In addition, I have sent a master to intercept Zhu Hengshan, whether it is dead or wounded, this marching marshal will be replaced by our own people. ”

Gu Zhongyi's face was a little worried, "But I heard that Zhu Hengshan is suspicious and vigilant, and he has strong martial arts, he must know that going here will lead to death, so he will definitely be more vigilant, it is difficult to kill him, and he can't leave any clues for him, and bite us in turn." ”

Qin Ji smiled easily, "I don't know this wave of people who want to kill him, the counties and counties that pass along the road will be notified by them one step in advance, and even those masters who are sent out to save Yan Shilang will also kill a horse pistol, this series of killing machines, he Zhu Hengshan will not escape death even if he has three heads and six arms." ”

Gu Zhongyi pursed his lips, thought carefully about the strategy Qin Ji said, and nodded, "That's the only way." It's good to have you, otherwise Zhongshu Ling will come out of such a basket, and I really don't know how to ask people to clean it up. ”

Qin Ji arched his hand, "Gu Shilang has won the prize." ”

Gu Zhongyi's eyes looked at Qin Ji's handsome and unparalleled face with deep meaning for a while, but there was a sharp face between his eyebrows and eyes, such a young junior had the courage to kill decisively and remain unchanged in danger, fortunately, he was under his own hands.

On the other side, Yu Mingzhi was smiling and listening to Mrs. Gu, although they hadn't met many times, and there was a lot of age difference, but they were very close to each other when they spoke, so they could always talk together.

“…… On August 13, I invited many ladies and ladies from Beijing to come to Fuzhong, and it was a good time for Mrs. Qin to get to know them. I am well-appointed and well-no, and no one will be able to recognize Mrs. Qin's identity. But it's just that what you want to check will be a little more tortuous. ”

"Thank you, Mrs. Gu, for matchmaking. Yu Mingzhi thanked him, "I already knew that it would be a difficult and tortuous road. So don't be afraid. ”

"What a good girl. Mrs. Gu squinted and smiled, and couldn't help but sigh in her heart that Yu Tingshi and his wife really taught a good daughter, if Yu Tingshi was still alive, Mrs. Yu didn't have to hide outside, how good it would be, she could ask them for advice on how to raise their children.

Mrs. Gu said again: "Then it's decided, you have to come on time that day? Many people have to be taken care of by the Qin She people, and they all want to say hello to you." ”

"Yes, definitely. Yu Mingzhi responded, his eyes turned to look at Qin Ji.

He was clearly aware of the movement on his side. But he did not say anything to stop it. She is not allowed to go out on adventures, so it can be seen that she agreed with Gu Shilang and his wife early in the morning. A trace of warmth couldn't help but spread in her heart, and the corners of her mouth rose up.

Qin Ji seemed to notice her gaze and turned his head and smiled at her.

Then. Qin Ji arched his hand to Gu Shilang. "I'm going out of the city today. The troubles were taken care of by Gu Shilang. I'll be back soon, though. ”

Out of the city? Yu Mingzhi hadn't heard Qin Ji talk about it before, and he didn't look like a temporary idea. When I think about it, my eyes can't help but moisten.

She originally planned to mention it to Qin Ji when she returned to the door today, that is, to go to her father's grave outside the city to have a look, and tell her father that they had married and loved each other, so that her father could rest in peace under the Nine Springs.

But Qin Ji also thought about it for her early on, and it seemed that he was ready to take it as a surprise.

Yu Mingzhi lowered his head slightly, unable to stop the smile on the corner of his mouth.

Gu Shilang naturally nodded in agreement, and told Qin Ji to be careful all the way. He knew that Qin Ji had worked hard all night without a moment of rest, which would make the group of relatives who had to accompany his wife back to deal with the Guo family be even more tired, so he didn't bother much, after all, there were things, needless to say, he also knew in his heart and knew what to do.

So Gu Zhongyi took his wife to say goodbye.

Watching them leave, Yu Mingzhi asked, "I have to go and prepare things to go back to the door, right?" At this time, the sky was bright, and the noise outside was even louder, and it would not be good if you didn't hurry up and go to Guo's house.

After all, outsiders regard her as the daughter of the Guo family, and returning home is an important day, and she must be seen by everyone.

If there is a mistake, those who are not happy to marry "Guo Baozhi" to Qin Ji, or who want to see Qin Ji's jokes, will definitely be happy.

How could she make them happy?

Qin Ji said: "Let's eat breakfast first." As he spoke, he grabbed Yu Mingzhi's hand.

Yu Mingzhi had to follow him back to the main courtyard, the food on the table had been reheated, the white porridge with mung beans was steaming faintly, wafting out a trace of fragrance, and there were also buns and a few side dishes, simple but delicious.

The two of them sat together, and Qin Ji served white porridge and side dishes for her.

Mother Du hurriedly came over and stood at the door of the house and replied, "Son, madam, the slaves and maids needed to return to the door have been prepared, and they are placed in the hall. In addition, the carriage is ready to leave at any time. ”

Zhu'er took the list in her hand and sent it to Yu Mingzhi to see.

Yu Mingzhi hastily looked at it, it was all in line with etiquette, and there was no omission at all.

"Trouble Du's mother. "It should be something that she should also worry about, but with Qin Ji here, it was all handed over to the steward, so that she could feel comfortable, but the words of gratitude are still indispensable, so that the subordinates in the family will be more comfortable.

Mother Du smiled: "It's all within the slave's business." What else do you have to tell Childe and Madame?"

Yu Mingzhi glanced at Qin Ji, "That's right, that ......" She wanted to speak and stopped, Mother Du probably didn't know her true identity, so how could she know that they were going to go outside the city for a while, and the incense, candles, paper money and offerings were indispensable.

Qin Ji said: "You retreat first." ”

"Yes. Mother Du lowered her head, didn't ask a word, and turned to leave.

Yu Mingzhi looked at Qin Ji, "You won't guess what I want again, will you?"

Qin Ji said with a smile: "Zhizhi's mind is the most difficult to guess, but sometimes it is simple. He got up, took out a bamboo basket from the cabinet, untied the blue cloth on it, and showed it to Yu Mingzhi.

Inside is incense, candles, paper money, cakes and fruits, and pen and ink, it seems that I am afraid that I will need to retrace the words on the tombstone at that time.

Yu Mingzhi was surprised by his thoughtfulness and nodded to him with a smile, "It's indeed these things." ”

Qin Ji covered the blue cloth, put it on the circle chair next to him, and returned to the dining table, "After a while, I asked Zhu'er to take it, and after getting on the car, I will stuff it under the seat so that others will not see it." In this mansion, except for Hang Yang and Zhu'er Jing'er around me, the other stewards don't know your identity, and Chu Ai doesn't know either. You've always been cautious, so I'm not too worried. ”

Yu Mingzhi laughed.

Qin Ji looked at her beautiful face like a flower, leaned over and kissed the corner of her mouth.

Yu Mingzhi smiled deeply, and slapped Qin Ji's leg with one hand, "Why don't you eat honestly?"

"Good. Qin Ji naturally listened to her the most, and buried himself in eating.

After eating, they first went to the Buddhist hall to worship the ancestors of the Qin family. Zhu'er and Jing'er personally carried all the gifts into a small carriage, while Yu Mingzhi and Qin Ji sat in the big carriage in front of them and ran briskly all the way to Guo's house.

The Guo family has already gathered a group of relatives, and the excitement is not lost on the day of marriage. Those relatives who didn't have time to rush to Guo's house on the day of marriage or failed to say a few words to the Qin Sheren all planned to make up for that deficiency on this day, and by the way, to see what Baozhi, the eldest lady of the Guo family who was not worth mentioning in the old lady's mouth and had been separated for many years, looked like.

Therefore, when Qin Ji got out of the carriage and swept at a glance at the crowd in front of the gate of the Guo family, he couldn't help frowning, but quickly cleverly concealed his displeasure, turned around and helped Yu Mingzhi get out of the car first.

When the relatives of the Guo family saw that the Qin Sheren were actually willing to help their young lady get out of the car, they were in an uproar.

This must be favored by the heavens, otherwise how could the emperor's most favored official and the Qin Sheren, who makes people smell and change, be willing to do this?

It seems that even if Mrs. Guo doesn't like her eldest granddaughter anymore, she can't change this fact.

There were a few people with playful smiles on their faces, but they wanted to see what kind of expression Mrs. Guo was going to show when she saw this couple so affectionate.

Guo Chang couldn't see the expressions of his relatives, and worriedly stepped forward and smiled at Qin Ji: "Qin Sheren is good." I'm sorry...... Because our family hasn't had a happy event for a long time, my relatives want to come and join in the fun......"

Qin Ji said lightly: "It's okay, it's just that I still have important things to do, I'm afraid I can only say hello to you, and I have to go back." ”

Guo Chang wished that there were many people at this time, there were many things that were easy to do and things that were wrong, and there was also the old mother who was afraid that the world would not be chaotic, so it was better to let the Qin Sheren leave earlier.

"The people of Qin She serve the country, and that is how it should be. Don't stand outside in the sun, go and come in. ”

Qin Ji was still holding Yu Mingzhi's hand, followed behind Guo Chang, and walked through the crowd into the gate of Guo's house.

From a distance, Yu Mingzhi saw Mrs. Guo standing at the door of the hall with a tiger face, as if she had a thousand words to say to her. (To be continued.) )
