Chapter 051: Crooked Strike

"Back to grandma, Huixiang has just come back. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info”

Ziwei glanced at Gu Jialuo's face and asked tentatively, "Grandma has something to tell her?" The slave is calling her? ”

Gu Jialuo nodded and did not speak.

Ziwei understood, hurriedly turned around and walked out of the west room, called a little maid, and whispered a few words.

After a while, Hui Xiang walked briskly from the upside-down bedroom.

"What did you find?" Gu Jialuo didn't talk nonsense and asked directly.

Huixiang bowed down and stood by the kang, lowered her voice, and told the news that her brother had inquired about in detail: "...... As soon as the newlywed was over, Miansi's grandmother began to socialize everywhere. ”

Huixiang snapped her fingers, "A few days ago, Grandma Mian Si went to the Xie family, and my eldest brother went to inquire, it turned out that it was the old lady of the Xie family, who committed an old disease, and after the doctor diagnosed and treated, although the symptoms were alleviated, they could not be eradicated." I don't know who mentioned it in the ear of Mrs. Xie, and Mrs. Xie gave an invitation to Grandma Mian Si......"

The old lady of the Xie family is the same generation as the eldest princess, and she is seventy years old this year. Widowed in her early years, she was a widow with her only son, and she had to serve her in-laws, support the Xie family's business, and raise her son, so she really suffered a little.

Legend has it that the old lady of the Xie family once personally led a caravan to run around, threw off the carriage, suffered a knife wound, and the most serious one, was almost burned by a fire of water thieves in the canal.

The Xie family can have today's glory and wealth, and the old lady of the Xie family is the first hero.

Therefore, the Xie family respects the old lady very much, even if the old man has long been gone, the current head of the family and the patriarch of the Xie family also worship her as an ancestor.

The family is rich, the children and grandchildren are filial, and the old lady of the Xie family has an extremely smooth and comfortable life.

However, as he grew older, the old lady's body collapsed. All the tribulations and illnesses of the early years are now all popping up.

Especially when the spring and autumn seasons change, the elderly will definitely have a serious illness.

A few years ago, it was better, the doctor diagnosed the pulse, prescribed medicine, and after ten days and half a month, the old lady's illness could recover.

But now that the old lady's body organs have begun to age, coupled with the root of the disease left by the old injury, the old lady fell ill before the first month of this year.

The imperial doctors of the Tai Hospital took turns to invite around, and all kinds of precious medicinal materials flowed into the stomach of the old Taijun, and the male and female masters of the Xie family arranged shifts to serve the sick in front of the sickbed, but the old Taijun's condition never improved.

It has been delayed for more than two months, and looking at the old man's condition, it is getting worse and worse.

The Xie family was so anxious that several masters of the Xie family asked around for good doctors.

At this moment, Yao Xiruo's name was 'inadvertently' mentioned, and the Xie family originally didn't believe that a boudoir woman would have any magical medical skills.

But in a hurry, the eldest man of the Xie family suppressed the suspicion in his heart in order to save his grandmother's illness, asked his wife to come forward, and asked Yao Xiruo to come to check the pulse of the old lady.

If Yao Xi has 'metaphysical medical skills', he will naturally get rid of the disease.

After only two or three days, the old lady of the Xie family was already able to sit up by herself.

Gu Jialuo's expression was a little complicated, she had already guessed that Yao Xi had an 'adventure', but seeing her so left and right, killing all sides, she couldn't help but feel a little jealous in her heart.

"Hehe, cousin makes a move, the old lady of the Xie family will definitely recover,"

Gu Jialuo didn't notice it, her tone was full of vinegar, "After this incident, the Xie family must be very grateful to her." ”

Huixiang nodded: "Legend has it outside, the eldest lady of the Xie family wanted to give Grandma Mian Si a few good shops, but Grandma Mian Si politely refused. There is also a saying in the market that Grandma Mian Si wants to partner with the grandmother of the Xie family to open a medicinal food shop......"

The Xie family is the first imperial merchant of Daqi, rich and rivals the country, and the most important thing is money.

It is no exaggeration to say that one-third of the shops in the capital are the property of the Xie family.

Yao Xiruo saved the ancestor of the Xie family, and said that it was a few shops, that is, to give her the dry shares of the Xie family's firm, and the Xie family was willing to give it away.

But Yao Xiruo is not a shallow person, she knows how to make trade-offs, and she did not ask the Xie family for nothing, but chose to cooperate with the Xie family.

Although what Huixiang said was a 'legend', Gu Jialuo knew Yao Xiruo's character very well, and she couldn't help but nod: "This is indeed Yao Xiruo's handiwork." By the way, besides the Xie family, who else did she go to? ”

Huixiang said: "There is also the Marquis of Ancheng's mansion...... Oh, by the way, Grandma Mian Si also went to visit Mrs. Shanchang of Jinghua Academy. ”

Gu Jialuo frowned, Yao Xiruo went to the Yang family, the purpose was very clear, but why did she go to visit Mrs. Shanchang?

Yao Xiruo's brother Yao Xixian was originally a student of Jinghua Academy, and he inherited the genes of his father and ancestors, and he was very good at reading, and his masters valued him very much.

Yao Xiruo is a utilitarian person, and he demands results in everything he does.

Yao Xixian herself is very good, she doesn't need to go through the back door at all, Yao Xiruo will not waste her precious energy.

"When you see Big Brother Quan again, remember to talk to him, so that he has time to inquire about what's new in Jinghua Academy."

Gu Jialuo was not at ease, and her intuition told her that if Yao Xi would not do useless work, she would definitely have something to ask for when she went to Jinghua Academy.

In addition, Gu Jialuo also decided to write a letter to his cousin later and ask him if there was anything unusual in the academy.

"Grandma don't worry, the slave understands." Hui Xiang nodded repeatedly.

Feng Quan is the name of Brother Huixiang, and Gu Jialuo looked at Feng's mother's face, so he called him 'Big Brother Quan'.

When Gu Jialuo returned to Qi's house, he brought all the Feng family's family with him.

Feng Quan has no fixed errands, he waits at the second gate all day, and whatever Gu Jialuo has on the street, he will be directly handed over to Feng Quan to be responsible.

On the surface, Feng Quan didn't have any serious errands, but Huixiang and the Feng family understood that Gu Jialuo was treating Feng Quan as a confidant.

And every time Gu Jialuo ordered Feng Quan to go out on errands, aside from the normal expenses, there would be additional rewards.

In the past few months, Feng Quan only 'rewarded' one, and he got seventy or eighty taels of silver, and if you add the normal monthly example, Feng Quan has already saved nearly one hundred taels of silver in his hand.

In Daqi, ordinary people's expenses are only two taels of silver a month, and when Feng's mother's family was in Zhuangzi, the whole family earned less than one hundred taels a year.

"Grandma, is there anything else you need to do for your eldest brother?"

can be reused by the owner, and it is rich in oil and water, such a good errand must be done well. Hui Xiang understood the benefits and was even more active than Feng Quan.

Gu Jialuo thought for a while and said, "Oh, there is one more thing, you let the eldest brother have time to go to the Marquis Ancheng Mansion to see if you can have a friendship with the concierge or some kind of steward, I have a letter that I want to send to Miss Yang Family's Seventh Lady." ”

Hui Xiang was clever, and after a little thought, she understood what Gu Jialuo meant, "Grandma, do you mean to send the letter to Miss Yang Qi in an anonymous situation?" ”

In fact, if Gu Jialuo wants to write a letter to Yang Qi in a righteous and open manner, there is no problem. Although it is a little abrupt, after all, Gu Jialuo or the Qi family has no friendship with the Yang family.

Even if Qi Qinzhi is discussing marriage with Yang Qi, the news has not yet come out, and the Yang family and the Qi family are not in-laws.

Gu Jialuo asked Feng Quan to go outside the Marquis Ancheng's mansion to inquire about the news and deliver letters, making it clear that he didn't want Yang Qi and the Yang family to know their identity.

Gu Jialuo smiled silently.

Huixiang immediately understood, and hurriedly responded, saying, "Grandma, don't worry, eldest brother doesn't have any great skills, but he is the best at dealing with those little guys and housekeepers." Within three days, the eldest brother will be able to deliver the letter. ”

Gu Jialuo nodded with satisfaction, "I believe in Big Brother Quan's ability. ”

After that, he took out a letter from the drawer of the kang table and handed it to Hui Xiang, "Remember, you must let Miss Yang Qi from the Lord of Yongjia see this letter." ”

……

Feng Quan is really a person who is good at dealing with people, and after going to the Marquis Ancheng's Mansion for two days, he made friends with a small steward at the corner gate on the west side.

Coincidentally, the sister-in-law of the little steward was on an errand in Yang Qi's yard, although she was not a steward, she could contact Yang Qi.

So, in the early morning of the third day, a letter written by Gu Jialuo with his left hand appeared on Yang Qi's dressing table.

Yang Qi is sixteen years old this year, her parents are not of good character, but they are both born with a good skin, Yang Qi has absorbed the strengths of her parents, with exquisite facial features and a graceful figure.

It's a pity that she has been weak since she was a child, and she has been taking medicine every day, her originally fair skin is covered with a sickly pale, and her body is also very thin.

A sick and weak person like her should be a pitiful little white flower.

But don't forget, her maternal grandmother is the famous eldest princess of Pingyang, and her mother is also known for her fierceness and ruthlessness, Yongjia Junjun, who has such a strong maternal gene, and as the only adult daughter of her parents, Yang Qi is spoiled to an extent you can imagine.

With such genetics and such arrogance, how could Yang Qi be a good person?

"What an unruly, what cat or dog dare to write a letter to me? Not afraid of getting my eyes dirty? ”

Yang Qi sat in front of the dressing table, her eyes looked at the one-foot-high mercury glass mirror, her palm-sized face was delicate and delicate, but there was a hint of anger between her eyebrows.

Her voice was very soft, but the words she spit out were not very good, "Hmph, dare to pass letters to me at will today, will you dare to let strangers into Miss Ben's courtyard tomorrow?" ”

Not far away, kneeling on the ground, a little maid had already been frightened and trembled.

However, to survive in Yang Qi's yard, that maid is not a fool, and she dares to take on this errand, so she naturally prepares a response.

The tremor of the body is an instinctive reaction.

Just listen to the little maid's trembling defense: "The eldest lady forgives the sins, the eldest lady forgives the sins, the slave just listened to the person who said outside, this matter is related to Zhao Tanhua-"

Yang Qi turned around abruptly and asked urgently, "Who?" Who is it related to? ”

The little maid was determined, but she still pretended to be frightened: "Zhao Chu Zhao Tanhua." Oh, it's the son-in-law of He Yuanzheng of Tai Hospital, Zhao Tanhua, who is currently editing the Hanlin Academy. ”

Yang Qi grabbed the envelope and read the letter in ten lines at a glance, his bloodless face was full of excited smiles: "Great, I finally know the whereabouts of the He family...... By the way, the Qi family's family affairs must be returned, haha......" (To be continued.) )
