"Master Qiqi, there is an abnormality in the Shen family!"

In the middle of the night, after Lu Ping left, the newly promoted secret guard walked into the bedroom and bowed down to report to Lu Jingyuan.

This is a courtyard close to the back house of the Hu family, Hu Jiuling loves his daughter and is obsessed, not only the embroidery building where his daughter lives is perfect, but even the surrounding courtyard must be repaired, and people are ordered to weed and raise flowers every day, and they must be renovated every year, and strive to enjoy the beautiful scenery and walk comfortably when Ayao goes to the main courtyard to ask for peace.

In this way, the most luxurious place in the entire Hu Mansion has become a circle around the embroidery building. In the past, when I was apprenticed, I could arrange people in the front guest house on the grounds of male and female defense, but this time I came back from the Tiger Prison Gorge, and the little marquis was sick as a sick person, and it was because Ayao was injured, so it was impossible to say that he would not give the best courtyard anyway. When Hu Jiuling was still entangled, the Song family had ordered someone to clean up the courtyard and move the person over for the sake of convenience to take care of him.

Madame pulled him back like this! Seeing that the people had moved in and the wood had been completed, Hu Jiuling could only accept it, and instead shifted his attention to the Song family, striving to make her unite with him.

The mother-in-law looks at her son-in-law, and the more she looks at it, the more satisfied she becomes, this old saying is not in vain. The Song family, who was completely awakened because of the Song family's affairs, is also an assertive person, and this will really not be as virtuous and virtuous as when he was recuperating at home after shrinking thirteen years ago. In line with the principle that the outside must first be at home, Hu Jiuling began to put more effort here.

The husband and wife of the Hu family fought each other, and the little marquis profited.

In fact, with his high martial arts, it is nothing to live far away. But the little marquis is unruly on the surface, but in fact he is also a wild and uninhibited person, but when facing a girl who has liked it for two lifetimes, all the dogmas and rules in the sage books that have been read in the past and never forgotten come out.

The more you care about someone, the more you pay attention to it, and if you value a person, you must do your best to give her the best, not only wealth and glory, but also take into account her wishes.

He vaguely felt that the latter point was even more important than the previous point. That girl had suffered too much in her life, and he couldn't help but hurt her more. Just like now, since the two of them confirmed their intentions, he wanted to take her back to the capital like this, imprisoned in a place where only he could see, and the two faced each other day and night, but he knew better how much she couldn't let go of the Hu family's relatives and industry in Qingcheng, so he couldn't hold back.

If the mountain does not come, he will go to the mountain. This incident in the Tiger Prison Gorge is not strict, since he was a child, he has been in the dark, and he has experienced a more dangerous situation than this. At that time, he could get out of the whole body, but this would be a trivial matter but he was injured so badly, and the emperor's uncle would definitely not believe it. But what if he didn't believe it, all he wanted was a reason to stay.

thought that he would be more comfortable when he was closer, but when he really lived in the Hu family, he found that the situation was not good. The girl was like a deadly □□ melted into the bone marrow, attracting him to get closer to her. At the same time, the dogma engraved in his bones made it impossible for him to do anything beyond the norm in public. Before the secret guard came in, he was standing in front of the window when he was supposed to be in bed to recuperate, looking at a laurel branch sticking out of the courtyard wall, and the other end of the laurel tree was the courtyard where Ayao Xiulou was located. Separated by a wall, he took a deep breath, and he could vaguely feel the breath of the girl.

Should I go and see her? While she's asleep, pinch her little face... That girl's face feels really good.

No, there is no curfew yet, and there are still maids walking around in the courtyard. Wait, in the dead of night, when no one is around, climb over the wall and go in to knock out the Qingshuang sleeping hole, and he can do whatever he wants...... Sleep with the girl in her arms for the night.

Well, that's all! With a sneak peek plan in place as he had done some time ago, and with a nod of acquiescence, he heard the footsteps of the guards entering.

Gathering his thoughts, he looked at the dark guard with his usual cold gaze: "Oh? ”

"Master Hou, the eyeliner that was ambushed in the Shen family came to report, saying that Shen Moci had returned secretly. According to the investigation of his subordinates, the Shen family has been contacting many dignitaries in Beijing and accompanying the capital recently. ”

As he spoke, the Dark Guard pulled out a secret letter from his sleeve. If Shen Moci was here, she would definitely be surprised, in order to guard against the little marquis, it was obvious that she had already dealt with the secret letter, but it was still discovered.

Yu Guang swept the name on the letter, and Lu Jingyuan's face changed slightly. I took it with my hand, and I saw him cover the palm of his hand with the wax seal, and after a while, the tightly sealed beeswax melted silently like a fire. Inside, with two fingers, he pulled out a thin sheet of paper from the thick envelope.

Paper is the largest paper mill in the south of the Yangtze River, the texture is delicate and reveals a fragrance that seems to be absent, on the top of a hand extremely marked hairpin flower Xiaokai, the person who opened the letter has not yet read the content, he knows what a beautiful girl who writes the letter, and even with no matter how busy he will be a little more patient with this inexplicable letter.

Lu Jingyuan will be very patient, but he is not for the intangible charm contained in the delicate letterhead, he can see the complete letter at a glance and accurately grasp the key point.

Walking through the turbulent river of Tiger Prison Gorge, after experiencing life and death, Shen Moci's scheming is better than before. Although she was blessed with a blessing in disguise and had a memory of her past life, she was more aware of the disadvantageous situation she was in now.

The Shen family's treasury was emptied, her own appearance was ruined, and the reputation she had accumulated for many years was gone, with no wealth, no appearance and no virtue, and now she was not even as good as Su Xiaoqiao, who she had always despised.

But after all, she is Shen Moci, Shen Moci who can never be defeated, and soon she woke up from self-pity. What if you have nothing? After so many years of hard study, countless days and nights of trying to figure out people's hearts are not in vain, and what you have learned is your own. It is the accurate grasp of people's hearts that she has cultivated over the years that has allowed her to stay left and right in her memory, and successfully gain a firm foothold and live in a high place in the capital where the powerful gather. And in this life, even if the situation is bad, she still has confidence in herself.

This is not the case, and if she wants to get the support of those powerful, she will have to pay a higher price. Fortunately, she has those memories of her previous life, which is her grasp of turning over.

Eager to return to a high place, Shen Moci really took out some real materials in the secret letter. Knowing the strictness of these things, she was extra careful when sending secret letters. Someone in the Shen family must have been secretly watching, so she specially contacted Song Qinwen and used his hand to clip the letter into the correspondence between the Hu family when they paid tribute.

She's just calculating that it's dark under the lights!

Shen Moci is also meticulous, as an imperial businessman, the status of the Hu family is already detached, and no one dares to slack off after taking the line of the little marquis, and this letter can arrive safely. But she did a lot of calculations and missed someone who didn't play cards according to common sense.

Although the little marquis has a reputation for being arrogant and domineering, he is really not the kind of wine bag and rice bag that relies on the superior to pamper the fox and the fake tiger. Time can make people forget many things, and more than ten years have passed, and most people have forgotten that the eldest son of the Guangping Marquis Mansion was not valued and almost transparent. can survive from that situation, Lu Jingyuan has already been reborn. Just as he said when he accepted Ah Yao's confession, he didn't need a noble wife to add to the icing on the cake, because he himself was enough to support this flower.

It can be said that behind his unscrupulousness, he relies on his own ability to support.

Seeing Shen Moci fall into the Tiger Prison Gorge with his own eyes, he did not relax his vigilance, but kept ordering Qingyu to stare at the Shen family. It's not that they can't clean up the Shen family, but for some people, it's more uncomfortable to live than to die. He wanted to tease them like a cat and mouse for a while, so that the family could taste the taste of struggling in purgatory, and also take revenge for the suffering that the girl had suffered in her previous life a thousand times. I didn't want to insert willows unintentionally, and met Shen Moci, who had a big life.

After Qingyu came to report Shen Moci's return, he knew that the other party would not give up. But he didn't pay too much attention to it, the absolute disparity in strength was there, and she couldn't make any waves.

But the letter in front of him surprised him again.

"I didn't expect her to have this adventure."

With Lu Jingyuan's intelligence, he naturally saw the strangeness in the letter. Shen Moci, who has always lived in Qingcheng, how could he know about so many secret letters from court officials, and analyze the pros and cons of them sharply, so that he, a bystander, had to praise it when he saw it.

Something was wrong, there was a precedent for that girl, and he quickly thought of a possibility. As soon as he thought about it, he quickly confirmed that since he could be reborn, the girl could also be reborn, why couldn't Shen Moci.

A sharp murderous intent crossed his eyes, "This person, I can't stay." ”

Affected by his substantial killing intent, the body of the secret guard who came to pass the message stood more and more straight, and after hearing his command, he said in an almost mechanical voice: "Subordinates take orders." ”

"Wait."

Ah Yao was reborn when she died in her previous life, and so did he, so Shen Moci ...... Will you know more? Thinking of his sudden death in his previous life, the culprit hidden in the dark, Lu Jingyuan hurriedly reached out to stop him.

"I'm not in a hurry to find out her movements at this time."

After the dark guard retreated, Lu Jingyuan stood in front of the window, looking at the crescent moon in the sky through the branches of the laurel tree, thinking about the contents revealed in Shen Moci's secret letter.

In his previous life, he was really arrogant and domineering, and his martial arts were only used as a thug for the emperor's uncle, and he paid little attention to the complicated relationships in the imperial court. He is far inferior to Shen Moci in terms of drill camp, and he doesn't know many things in this secret letter.

It's still a little useful after all, so I'll keep her for the time being. Stuffing the letter back, restoring it to its original state and handing it to the dark guard, he faintly had a plan in his heart.

The first quarter moon hid in the treetops, and the sound of drums came, and he looked fierce like clockwork and leaned towards the window lattice, and climbed over the window with a light spirit that did not conform to his noble status, accurately avoiding the heavy mechanisms set up by Hu Jiuling on the wall of the embroidery building, and familiarly touched the boudoir in the middle.

On the couch outside the boudoir, Qingshuang, who came back from the night, was self-reflecting. Since she came back from Tiger Prison Gorge, she always slept until dawn without waking up in between.

The girl has to go by herself when she gets up at night, and as a personal maid, she is really derelict in her duties. Although the girl didn't say anything, it was not difficult for the girl to be kind to them, and it was because of this that she had to be more responsible.

"Well, we'll have to be vigilant tonight."

Yawning, she pinched her palms and forcibly suppressed the upwelling pajamas. As soon as she thought about it, she felt a gust of wind blowing in front of her, and a tingling sensation came from her head, and she fell asleep again.

Sleeping in the acupoint to solve the last person outside the boudoir, Lu Jingyuan swaggered into the inner room, walked lightly to the stepping bed, lifted the curtain and hung it on the golden hook, and unconsciously stroked the pair of jade rings, his eyes finally focused on the account book next to her pillow.

The canonization hall is imminent, and the Song family is busy with this matter, and the feed in the back house of Hu Mansion will be handed over to her. This girl is not very smart, but she has a kind of infatuation similar to her Jiaohan. Convinced that diligence can make up for her clumsiness, she soaked in the account book every day, and even the time to go to the shop was much less.

After taking the account book, he could see things at night because of his martial arts practice, and he looked at it at a glance, nodding his head as he looked.

"It's the same as usual, slow to slow, and there is no mistake in the finished accounts."

This girl is a clear figure, she is not as eager to seize power or express herself as the first person in charge of a large family, and wants to intervene in everything. She steadied herself, starting from the most basic place, the kitchen, the flower garden, and the courtyard were a little familiar, figuring out one piece and then getting the next. It may have been a little jerky at first, but as time went on, she became faster and faster.

is worthy of being the girl he fancies, she knows the general situation like this, knows the priorities, and is not greedy for merit.

"It's faster today than yesterday."

From the account books, Lu Jingyuan could see A-Yao's progress day by day. There was no one around, and he didn't hide the admiration on his face.

The moonlight shone in through the half-open door of the bed, striking the corners of his lips that had risen up, and the boy's already impeccable countenance was once again enhanced by the smile. Ah Yao, who opened her eyes, was a little dizzy for a while when she saw such a beautiful scenery.

"Brother Jing."

thinks about him in her dreams, how much this girl likes him, and it is not in vain that he tries his best to beat the disobedient subordinates for her.

There are many things that can be seen in the account books, Lu Jingyuan is talented, and it is easy to see which subordinates are fooling Ah Yao. According to his temper in the past, such a treacherous subordinate directly went out with a stick, but Hu Mansion is not his Dingbei Hou Mansion, and the guest house must always know some measure.

But such trivial things are not difficult for him, and he can't come openly and act secretly. Most of the dark guards who brought Qingcheng went north with Master Kukai to Beijing to escort the silver two, and there was no one to use in his hands, so he could only take action in person. Light work over the wall to find the next room, the heavy one directly covered the quilt and beat it violently, the light one beat lightly, took turns to fist down, he could not rest at night during the day was not in good spirits, but really had a little bit of the weak face of the injured person.

He has always done things above board, and he didn't hide his head and tail when he beat people. But the identity is there, and the people of Hu Mansion can only swallow the bitter water in their stomachs when they are beaten, and the time is still short and they don't show any horses.

Of course, this matter is not completely unknown, for example, the Song family, who is in charge of the backyard, is vaguely aware. After knowing this, her satisfaction with her future son-in-law rose even more, and she became more and more combative in the face of Hu Jiuling's offensive. The son-in-law who can't be found with such a lantern has no store in this village, so he can't let the confused master run away anyway!

After thirteen years of submissive Song's small universe, the difficulty of Hu Jiuling's persuasion escalated again.

The little marquis who took advantage of this was happy to see it, and at this moment, when he heard the girl calling him softly, he turned his head like a demon. Looking at each other, seeing the pair of almond eyes that were becoming clearer and clearer, his brain was clever, and he finally reacted.

She woke up.

It's been discovered! Transporting light skills, he withdrew from the stepping bed with lightning speed.

Before going to bed, I used too much soup, and Ah Yao was awakened in the middle of the night. The eyes were open, but consciousness was still hazy.

"Green Frost."

There was no movement outside, and she didn't shout much, but grabbed the clothes beside the bed, put them on, put them on, and walked towards the screen behind the bed. After addressing her personal needs, she came back sleepwalking and continued to sleep in her bed.

The sound of steady breathing came, and Lu Jingyuan, who was hidden behind the stepping bed, walked out, with a trace of helpless pampering on his face.

This wasn't the first time this had happened, and at first he was a little embarrassed, visiting the boudoir at night or something, as if he valued her very much. Although this is true, but in his selfish heart, he just doesn't want that girl to know. At that time, he fled back to the courtyard in a wolf manner, and after a night of entanglement, he listened to her whispering to Qingshuang early the next morning.

"I dreamed of Brother Jing last night, he was standing next to my bed, but his hand reached over but he didn't touch anyone."

It turned out that she was dreaming, and when she realized this, he finally put his mind at ease, and then he tried to let her hear from the people in the guest house that she had slept soundly and had no dreams all night. The two sides confirmed that she was convinced of this.

With this foundation, it's easy to do something more. Standing in front of the stepping bed, Lu Jingyuan took off his shoes and robe, turned over to the bed as light as a swallow, tore off the obstructive thin quilt, and firmly imprisoned his small body in his arms. The unique fragrance of the girl's body came, and the feeling of exhaustion hit, and the corners of his lips lifted lightly, and he quickly fell asleep.

Lu Jingyuan slept comfortably here, but A-Yao slept very unsteadily. In her sleep, she turned into a small shrimp and was entangled in an octopus.

The sun rose as usual, and the people of the Hu Mansion, who were more and more diligent because of the girl's housekeeper's "strictness", got up early to sprinkle and sweep, and Hu Jiuling and the old husband and wife of the Song family had some young vitality because of the tug-of-war for days.

After taking over the housekeeping business, A-Yao knew how much she needed to learn. Although the teachers of Qinglin Academy are not famous for their pen and ink, she can get to know many children of Qingcheng merchants here, trying how to deal with interpersonal relationships, and at the same time, the Hu family's business will inevitably deal with them in the future, which can be regarded as preparation for the future.

So even if she was very busy, even if Gu Shanchang allowed her not to go to the academy when she was busy, except for the time when she went to the academy once every three days as agreed upon in the Tiger Prison Gorge, A-Yao never interrupted.

Without Shen Moci and others getting in the way, the people in the academy could also look at Ah Yao more rationally. Young people's thoughts are not as skilled and worldly as adults, they will not be stammered by A-Yao's strong family background, if they like it, they like it, and if they hate it, they just look at her personal conduct. And A-Yao is kind and kind, and she is also delicate, which is the easiest for everyone to accept, plus she is humble and motivated, and the students like her from the bottom of their hearts.

The carriage stopped at the entrance of the academy, and as soon as Ah Yao got off the carriage, several girls who arrived at about the same time stepped forward and walked parallel to her towards the academy. And the closest to her was Su Xiaoqiao, who came over early and waited for her, she couldn't let others take the position of Ah Yao's best friend.

Others were jealous, but Ah Yao's close attitude was there, and she could only smile and shake her head. A bunch of young girls discussed clothes and food, worried about their master's schoolwork, and A-Yao also liked this relaxed and simple atmosphere, and echoed a few words from time to time.

Twittering into the girls' dormitory, A-Yao had just sat down and was about to pack up her things, when Su Xiaoqiao next to her poked her head over, grinning as usual, with a little nervousness in her expression, and said mysteriously: "A-Yao, guess who I saw yesterday?" ”

"Who?" Ah Yao, who was packing up the books and placing the four treasures in the study, asked casually.

Su Xiaoqiao leaned over and whispered in her ear, "Nurse." ”

What the! Ah Yao's hand holding Duan Yan froze.
