Chapter 644: The Honest County Lord
After crossing the river, the climate seems to have changed.
Before April, the weather in Jinling brought a wave of heat.
As soon as the sun came out, it was so brilliant that it was hot.
But because I don't know anything about the weather in Jinling, the peony is a dress that is brought by inertia.
That is, there is no light summer shirt.
Even the spring shirts are thick.
Peony and Yuan Zisu rummaged through the suitcases they brought over, but they didn't find suitable women's clothes.
Qinglianzi, who had just come back, glanced at Gu Xinyue's appearance wrapped in men's clothes, turned her head and went out again.
It didn't take long to bring the tailor and embroidery lady in the golden silk clothes opened by the Han family in Jinling.
Ready-made.
Looking at the hundreds of high-grade silks brought over by the golden-clothed female shopkeeper, Gu Xinyue's eyes were a little flowery, and then she heard that those silks were all from the Han family's own weaving workshop, and she had more respect for Han Yuan in her heart.
The Han family, the power and financial resources in Jiangnan, are only afraid that they are deeper and broader than what Han Yuan himself said.
The female shopkeeper also brought some ready-to-wear clothes, so Gu Xinyue picked a few first, asked them to change the size, and then carefully selected the others.
Not only are there many fabrics and beautiful, but the shopkeeper of the golden silk clothes has also brought a lot of styles, and when those ready-to-wear clothes are improved, Gu Xinyue and Peony have already picked out dozens of sets of clothes.
I thought that so many clothes, some of them were still made of the most high-end light materials, and I was afraid that it would take at least a few months to make them, who knows, the female shopkeeper in the golden silk dress said with a smile, five sets will be made in one day for Gu Xinyue to wear, and ten more sets will be produced in three days, and the rest will be completed within ten days.
Gu Xinyue was even more shocked, and wanted to ask how many tailors there were in the golden threaded clothes, but someone came to report it in front of her, and Mrs. Yu asked to see her.
Gu Xinyue changed into a moon white gauze wide-sleeved skirt that had been changed, and went to the front hall to meet guests.
As soon as I walked into the door of the hall, I heard Mrs. Yu smile at the person next to her: "This time, Mrs. Qi is a big loser, and I don't know what kind of face she has to come out!" β
Gu Xinyue's footsteps paused slightly, and out of the corner of her eye, she unconsciously glanced at the green lotus seed standing in the shadow outside the hall.
"County Lord!" When Mrs. Yu saw Gu Xinyue coming in, she hurriedly closed her voice, and after taking the lady next to her to give a salute, she said with a smile: "This is the wife of the governor of Jinling, and her husband's surname is Che." β
Mrs. Che hurriedly saluted again: "The concubine has seen the county lord. β
Gu Xinyue smiled, waved her hand and motioned for the two to sit down, and after she sat down on the upper seat, she said curiously: "Mrs. Yu, I just heard you say that Mrs. Qi is embarrassed, what's going on?" β
"Yo, that's ......" Mrs. Yu's face was a little embarrassed, and she didn't know whether to say it or not.
Although the county lord must have wanted to hear that Mrs. Qi was unlucky, Mrs. Qi's matter was really a little dirty, and the county lord was an unmarried girl after all.
Gu Xinyue blinked her eyes and said, "Don't worry, Mrs. Yu, what you say is, this county lord wants to hear it." β
After settling down, Mrs. Yu coughed lightly and said: "That's the case, my husband was originally the governor of Jinling, but something happened to Yangzhou some time ago, and he temporarily went to Yangzhou to take charge of Yangzhou affairs, and nothing happened to this Jinling, so it was ...... yesterday."
As she spoke, Mrs. Yu looked at Mrs. Che.
"County lord, that's the case, Yu Zhizhou went to Yangzhou, Jinling Yamen was in charge of ordinary affairs by the concubine husband, last night, someone knocked on the door, said that something was urgent, called the husband to go out, the concubine saw that it was late, I don't know what happened, so I asked more." Mrs. Che also paused.
Gu Xinyue looked at her with a blank eye, and saw that she was embarrassed to say anything about the back for a long time, and said hurriedly: "Ah, Mrs. Che said quickly, no matter what happens, the county lord will forgive you for your innocence!" β
Mrs. Che and Mrs. Yu are good friends, and as soon as Mrs. Yu went back yesterday, she informed her of the fall out between the county lord and Mrs. Qi, and also said that she must make a choice between Mrs. Qi and the county lord in the next few days.
If she had been a little hesitant before, she had no hesitation after hearing the news in the middle of the night.
Now looking at Gu Xinyue's appearance of waiting to see a good show, there are not many opportunities to please the county lord, so I can't care so much.
Mrs. Che covered her mouth and said: "Those dirty things can't dirty the ears of the county lord, but these big things can't be hidden from the county lord." The one who came to report the news was the person who Yan returned to the building, saying that there was a mess in the Wuyi Building, and the lady who inspected Shi Shuijia led people into the Wuyi Building, saying that she wanted to arrest a little girl raised by Mrs. Jiang, but she rushed in and found out that it was Mrs. Qi. β
Gu Xinyue blinked and looked sideways at Yuan Zisu.
There was a look of innocence and ignorance on his face.
Yuan Zisu's face turned red, coughed lightly, leaned over and attached it to her ear, but the voice was something that several people could hear: "That little guy is the cheap person who sold his body, Wuyi Building, I'm afraid it's such a special place." β
Gu Xinyue sighed, and said in surprise: "I know, that is, Mrs. Shui took people to the flower building to find the wild man raised by Mrs. Jiang, and as a result, Mrs. Qi was caught on the bed of the wild man!" β
Belch......
Mrs. Che and Mrs. Yu both looked a little dumbfounded.
Well, naΓ―ve and innocent.
The county lord's big truth is too ......
That's right!
"That's right!" Gu Xinyue's face was full of interest, and she looked at Mrs. Che and said: "When I entered the city, the county lord heard someone talking outside, saying that Mrs. Jianghuai Hou Shizi went to some museum to steal people, but she was arrested, cleaned her clothes and hung them on the archway, is it this Mrs. Jiang?" β
"That's, exactly." Mrs. Yu's face didn't know what to do.
She only heard about the Shui family after she went home, and the county lord actually knew about it as soon as she entered the city......
By the way, the county lord is going to the Jianghuai Marquis Mansion.
The county lord knows it, and the Shui family can't hide it if they want to.
"This is interesting, from the Jianghuai Marquis Mansion, it is said that I still have to call my cousin-in-law." Gu Xinyue sneered and said, "So virtuous! Also worthy! By the way, the Shui family also brought people into the Wuyi Building? How? Is this still wronged by others? β
"That's right, Lord Shire." Mrs. Che hurriedly said, "That Jiang ...... The Shui family's tongue was cut off, and the person only had half a life left, but there was a man's sweat towel on his body, and the Shui family wanted to find the murderer, so they went to the Wuyi Building to find the person who the Shui family was good with. β
Who knows what Captain Chen didn't find, but he dragged Mrs. Qi out of the quilt.
The two subordinates even had a direct fight.
Hearing her husband come back and say that Mrs. Shui and Mrs. Qi had very good looks at that time.
It's just that his official position is low, and this kind of thing really can't be handled, so he can only persuade people on both sides to go back, and then seal the Wuyi Building.
But last night, there were a lot of people who were shocked by the movement of Wuyi Building, and there were many people who talked about it, and the matter must not be hidden.
Since the county lord can hear about Mrs. Jiang, he is only afraid that he will hear about it, and if she doesn't explain it again, she is afraid that she will have to carry the black pot from her husband.
"So!" Gu Xinyue nodded and said: "This Shui clan bears the name of the wife of the Marquis of Jianghuai, and this Mrs. Qi is the wife of the governor of Jiangnan, how can such a character be my great Chu fate!" Come to someone, send a post to the yamen, and let the yamen hear the case publicly, such immoral people must let the world know their faces. β
Someone outside answered, and a few of the guards turned away.
Mrs. Yu and Mrs. Che were stunned.
In my heart, it was joy and fear, and the taste was indescribable.
