Chapter 50: Farce
Xun Fang looked at her serious look, and couldn't help but say: "Ye Zicheng is famous, but he is very low-key, and his affairs are really difficult to investigate...... What do you want to know and do you want people to look it up again? ā
"No need. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć info" Li Guan raised his head, a cheerful light jumping in his eyes.
That was enough news for her to prove something.
She smiled and quipped: "It's really strange in the world, Ye Zicheng is not involved with this Yunshuang, and everyone still says that he is noble?" She didn't mean to despise Yunshuang, just pure curiosity.
"A man from a wealthy family, who is not a man with three wives and four concubines. Ye Zicheng is just raising a prostitute, what's the big deal! Xun Fang didn't care.
Li Guan smiled and did not answer.
If Ye Zicheng is a genuine local man, Li Guan will not find it strange for him to behave like this. But nine times out of ten, he is a cross-ed, influenced by modern thought, does he also want to learn from the ancients?
She suddenly hesitated whether she should contact this person or not.
Xun Fang folded the piece of paper and put it in the drawer of the dresser: "Miss, do you want to know Ye Zicheng?" ā
Li Wan was silent for a moment and said, "Send someone to pay attention to his whereabouts." ā
Anyway, she wanted to understand Ye Zicheng's personality first.
Xunfang went out, and Li Wan picked up the book in his hand and looked at it absentmindedly.
I don't know how yesterday's events went...... She clearly let people leak false information to Prince Xifan, saying that Ge Yi would participate in the exhibition of Hengde Academy, and took the opportunity to seal the gold seal in the mezzanine of the painting box and lock it in the library of the academy to avoid being stolen by them or searched by the people of the imperial court. There are many treasures in the library of Hengde Academy, and the tightness of the treasury is comparable to that of the inner treasury of the imperial palace.
But she never expected that those people would want to escape? Ge Yi is still alive and well, and the golden seal didn't get it, so he left?
Didn't Lu Qiuwei say that they were the prince's dead soldiers? Desperately came to the capital to cause trouble, and before the task was completed, he took care of fleeing for his life, which is too lacking in the discipline of the dead......
It's weird no matter how you look at it.
But now that everyone has been caught, let Yu Fengyao worry about these things.
The most important thing now is to find a safe place to settle Lu Qiuwei and the others. When the wind is not so tight, let them get out of the city as soon as possible.
Where to put people?
If you want to say the safest, it is naturally Kwai Garden. But selfishly, she didn't want these inexplicable people to live in Kwai Garden.
Looking for another home?
But she also wanted to keep people under her nose, lest they cause any trouble behind her back......
Oops, what a hassle!
Li Guan had a headache and put the book on his face.
"Guan'er!" A clear female voice sounded outside the fan, followed by a series of brisk footsteps, Wang Manqing pushed the door in, holding a glass bowl in his hand.
"Manqing? You're back! Li Guan said.
A few days ago, Wang Manqing went to the temple to worship her parents.
The maid moved a drunkard chair for her to sit on, she put the glass bowl on the small table, and said with a smile: "Well, I came back yesterday afternoon." How have you been these two days? Is the exhibition fun? ā
"Hey, don't mention it......"
"What's wrong?"
Li Wan said with a bitter face: "It's all right, but yesterday the people of the Golden Crossbow Camp caught thieves in the academy, and the scene was messy, and I accidentally injured my back......"
"Yikes! Is it serious? ā
"Fortunately, the doctor said that it would be fine after a period of time, but it has been inconvenient to move recently."
"That's good. You are really 'fated' with the Golden Crossbow Battalion, and you have to bump into them twice and three times...... But how can there be thieves in the academy, what do they steal? ā
"Maybe it's calligraphy and painting, there are a lot of precious calligraphy and paintings in the academy these days, if you steal them and sell them on the black market, it will definitely ......be a huge profit" Li Guan didn't want to continue the topic, so he pointed to the glass bowl and said: "Where did you pick the camellia?" ā
She didn't seem to see camellia in the garden of the Marquis Rongning's mansion last time.
In the crystal clear glass bowl, three camellia flowers of different colors are raised with clear water, the red is charming, the pink is delicate, and the white is pure.
"Looks good, right?" Wang Manqing said proudly, "On the way back, I saw someone selling flowers and trees, so I bought two, which were picked with dew in the morning, and these three bloomed the best." Then he was a little disappointed, "I originally wanted to go to the flower market with you......"
Li Guan lovingly stroked the delicate petals with his fingers: "It's so beautiful...... I love it, thank you. ā
"What's the point of thanking me in your mouth......" Wang Manqing pretended to be disdainful.
"Yes, yes, I'll let Hui Niang make a few of your favorite snacks, okay?"
"That's pretty much it!"
She smiled and leaned back comfortably in her chair, dangling leisurely.
"Boss! Boss! Oh no! ā
An eight- or nine-year-old boy ran in shouting.
Qiu Zhen was discussing with a few stewards, frowning: "What's wrong?" ā
The little guy came in and saw that someone was there, and he stopped talking.
"Wait for me." Qiu Zhen said to a few stewards and called people into the room for questioning.
The little maid hurriedly said: "The two who listened to Yuxuan somehow had an argument with Miss Jirou, Aunt Wei's head hit the pillar, and she saw blood on the spot!" ā
"Dead?"
"Huh?" The little guy was stunned, "No...... No...... Just passed out. ā
Qiu Zhen said lightly: "Who asked you to talk back?" ā
"Small, small, the scene is a little messy, I'll tell you......" The little guy said, why does the chief manager look careless, listen to Yuxuan's two aunts are given by the queen mother......
"What is Jirou doing?"
āā¦ā¦ Miss Jirou called the two mothers-in-law to carry Aunt Wei back to Tingyuxuan, and asked people to take the post to ask the doctor. ā
"So what are you looking for me to do?"
The little guy was stunned by his silent gaze.
Qiu Zhen ignored him and walked out.
The little guy didn't know what he had done wrong, and returned to the inner courtyard with trepidation.
Jiayoutang has regained its calm, the broken porcelain pieces on the ground have been cleaned up, the little maid is changing the carpet lightly, and the servants who come and go are all calm, as if what has just happened is his imagination......
"You're new here?"
A little maid saw him standing at the doorway and looked at him, and asked him in a low voice.
He nodded.
"Don't pestle here, Sister Jirou is the most lazy." After the little maid finished speaking, she walked away with broken steps.
The woman's soft and majestic voice came from inside the room, and he suppressed the curiosity in his heart, turned and ran.
An eighteen or nineteen-year-old woman in a azure gown walked out, followed by two well-dressed maids.
"Yaqing, send someone to watch Tingyuxuan, no matter how Aunt Tong makes trouble, she can't be let out."
"Okay." The maid named Yaqing hurried away.
The other maid was a little uneasy and said: "Sister Jirou, they are the aunts of the house, if you let Grandpa Guo know......"
Jirou smiled gently: "Don't worry, Grandpa Guo doesn't care about these things, even if he knows, he won't blame him." What's more, Aunt Tong and Aunt Wei trespassed into Jiayou Hall, blatantly violating the rules of the house, and the grounding should be. ā
"What about Aunt Wei's injury?"
"My aunt was so emotional, she didn't stand firm and broke her head, what do you have to do with others?"
The maid saw her calm appearance, and her face softened slightly.
"I'll go to the kitchenette and have a look. Zhuangzi sent some game, and I asked the cook to pickle it and prepare dinner for Grandpa Guo to make barbecue. After Jirou finished speaking, she turned around and went to the backyard.
After about two quarters of an hour, a little maid hurriedly ran in: "Sister Chulan, Aunt Tong was about to jump into the well just now, and Sister Yaqing was kind enough to persuade her, but she was slapped by her aunt. Hearing that Yuxuan's side is already in chaos, Sister Yaqing asked me to ask Sister Jirou, what should I do now? ā
The maid named Chu Lan's face tightened, and she immediately went to the small kitchen to listen to Jirou.
āā¦ā¦ Put less sauce, Grandpa Guo doesn't like the taste that is too heavy. ā
Ji Rou was staring at the cook pickling rabbit meat, and when she heard this, her face did not change at all, she took off the apron on her waist and said lightly: "Take a look." ā
Chu Lan and the little maid who reported the news followed her to listen to Yuxuan.
Tingyuxuan is a two-entry yard, and a clump of canna is planted at the door. A maid in a cotton skirt saw them greet them: "Sister Jirou, you are here." ā
"Where's Yaqing?"
"Sister Yaqing is in the East Chamber, Aunt Tong is noisy, she is afraid that something will happen, so she personally guards the door."
Tingyuxuan is divided into the east and west chambers, Aunt Tong lives in the east chamber, and Aunt Wei lives in the west chamber.
After passing through the hall to the left is the east wing, Yaqing and a few maids are standing under the eaves, and the sound of falling things and the noise of women are constantly heard in the house.
"Jirou, you're here." Yaqing's face was iron-blue, and half of her face was swollen.
Jirou frowned slightly, and said with pity: "I have wronged you." ā
Yaqing shook her head and looked into the room: "What now?" Aunt Tong is clamoring to see Grandpa Guo. ā
Ji Rou said softly, "Open the door." ā
A woman took the key and unlocked the door, and the sound of smashing things stopped.
Jirou led people in.
The originally exquisitely furnished room was in a mess, and Aunt Tong, who had a beautiful face, stood in the middle of the room, staring at her through gritted teeth: "Ruan, Ji, Rou!" ā
"I've seen Aunt Tong." The standard of the soft action is a blessing.
"Huh!" Aunt Tong sneered, "You still know that I am the aunt of the house!" ā
She looked very emotional, and said in a sharp voice: "You are just a minion, and you dare to put me under house arrest?" Don't think that if you are the big girl of Jiayou Hall, you can walk sideways in the house. Shameless bitch, dare to bully you, wait for me to tell Grandpa Guo, and expel you from the house immediately! ā
"Bullied?" Ji Rou's face was slightly cold, "Ji Rou has never crossed her words and deeds, and my aunt can't talk about it." Dare to ask me if I am being rude to you or behaving rudely? ā
"What was that? You asked those mothers-in-law outside to tie me up and bring me back, and locked me in the house, isn't it a bully? Who gave you the right? ā
Ji Rou smiled slightly: "Jiayou Hall is the living place of Grandpa Guo, except for the people who serve inside, no one else is allowed to enter without the orders of Grandpa Guo." You and Aunt Wei didn't listen to the persuasion of the slaves and maids, and they had to break in, but the slaves and maids just followed the rules and invited the two aunts to go back to the roof and think about it, what was wrong? ā
