Chapter 503: What a big circle

After Bai Ko straightened out the current relationship between the characters, he calmed down, took a new envelope and put a silver ticket of one hundred taels, wrote the address of his eldest uncle Tang Lin, and then put it in a drawer, planning to send it out tomorrow.

After keeping him busy for so long, she finally found out the result, and the money was his hard work, and she did the rest by herself.

Gu Yun arrived home in the evening, ignored Qingyu's affairs, had dinner and asked the elders to say goodbye, Gu Chen took the textbook to ask his brother questions, the brothers did their homework together in the ear room, Bai Ko also came to join in the fun with a pile of papers, calculated the materials needed to complete the follow-up production, and arranged the production plan, and worried about the beautiful marriage, in addition, the daily regulations of the tea room should also be written down in black and white to facilitate the implementation of Shui Zhen.

Gu Chen left after finishing his homework, and when Gu Yun finished writing two articles, he motioned for Qinglan to put away the pen, and he took another book and sat on the side to read quietly.

After Qinglan cleaned up the used stationery supplies, she brought supper, and then quietly withdrew under the hint of the young master's eyes.

Gu Yun read a few pages of the book, then put down the book and got up to get something to eat, quietly walked behind Bai Ko with a tray, and stuffed a small cake into her mouth.

Bai Ko chewed on the crispy biscuit in his mouth, put down the pen and paper, and took a break by the way.

Gu Yun ate a piece by himself, fed her a piece, and the two of them, you and I ate the supper separately.

Bai Ko took the tray outside the door for Qinglan, changed the tea and came in, closed the door and turned around, and saw Shizi looking through what she had just written, so he put the tea tray on the low cabinet under the wall.

"How did you come up with the idea of writing the charter of the tea room?"

"Meihuan and they are getting married, and the maid has already agreed with Aunt Rong to transfer Shuizhen to be the steward of the tea room, and buy four new people for them to serve."

"Oh, yes, pick a few good ones, the best ones with skills, the more expensive ones, you can't save this money."

"Yes."

"What else should I know?"

Gu Yun stretched out his hand to drink tea, and Bai Ko hurriedly put the tea tray in his hand and poured him a cup.

"Qing Yu told the truth."

"She hooked up with someone at the beauty banquet?" Gu Yun had an expression that he had already knew, and drank tea calmly.

"Do you know who she hooked up with?"

"I don't know, I haven't seen anyone."

"She said that the first time she went to the beauty banquet, someone pulled her into a small circle, and the beauties in that circle were waiting for either the head of the family or the heir, so it was natural for the other party to woo her."

"And then?"

"The eldest sister who is the leader in that circle is called Lan Zhu, and she says that she is the beauty of Xiao Liang Gongzi."

"Which little Liang Gongzi?"

"The son of a scholar of Liang."

"The father-in-law of the eldest son of the emperor, the father of Princess Yu?!" Gu Yun was startled, and almost dropped the teacup in his hand, but Bai Ko rested on the teatray in time.

"If Qing Yu didn't lie, then it was."

"Will Qingyu lie?"

"It doesn't look like it, she's not the kind of person who is shrewd enough to mix truth and falsehood, not to mention that she knows one thing very well, she is still in Zhongming Courtyard, if she dares to lie, the maid can't spare her." Bai Ko sneered.

"King Yu and Princess Jiayou are the sisters and brothers born to Concubine Zhao Xian, and their family is surrounding me in all directions, how can I make them pay so much attention?"

"The three sons of the Gu family are all teenagers and young jinshi, why shouldn't they be taken seriously? Before you have formed a firm political tendency, we will draw you into your circle in a timely manner, and make you stand in line in advance in a subtle way. ”

"The prince is a son-in-law, what is there to stand in line, the most annoying thing to be a courtier, standing on the wrong side means losing your head."

"It's true that the prince is a son-in-law, but there is only this one son-in-law under the sage's knees, who knows how long the prince can be a son-in-law? Once the prince is gone, the grandson can't be saved. ”

"What do you mean?"

"The investigation of Wang Xiaodong has come to a conclusion."

"Huh? When did you check him? ”

"It's summer."

"You've always been haunted by how he cleaned up the kitchen in the first place."

"Yes, so check him out while you have the money."

"The result?"

"He is Zhao Xianfei's person."

"What?!" Gu Yun was only surprised before, but now he was really surprised, and his face changed.

"And now that the entire imperial kitchen is under his control, Concubine Zhao Xian may sacrifice his chess piece at any time in order to put her son on the throne."

"Wang Xiaodong is Concubine Zhao Xian's person, the evidence is conclusive?"

"Judging by his closest circle of relatives and friends, it is."

"How?"

"Wang Xiaodong has a younger brother named Wang Xiaonan, seven or eight years ago Yuan Pei's wife died, through his brother as a matchmaker, the wife who continued to marry is the daughter of a family surnamed Tang in Qianhuaifang, and this surname Tang has an uncle and nephew surnamed Shao, called Shao Yiping, his parents died since he was a child, the Tang family raised him to about ten years old, and entered the palace with a clean body.

Gu Yun was dumbfounded, and glared at Bai Ko for a while before recovering his voice.

"Zhao Liangdi back then is now Concubine Zhao Xian! Going around such a big circle, it turned out to be a family? But how did you find out about this eunuch Shao's kinship outside the palace? ”

"Because the Tang family didn't hide it at all, this is something that everyone knows in Qianhuaifang, but anyone who wants to leave the relationship between Concubine Zhao Xian has to go through the hands of the Tang family, and the residents in the fang are afraid of their family's power and dare not gossip with outsiders, so there are few people who know about it outside Qianhuaifang."

"You just said that seven or eight years ago, Wang Xiaodong was a matchmaker for his younger brother and married the daughter of Eunuch Shao's relative's family as a continuation?"

"Yes, judging from this time, Wang Xiaodong has already hooked up with Concubine Zhao Xian earlier, but to verify this speculation, we need to investigate it in detail."

"There's no need to check, if you continue to check, maybe when you startle the snake, just stop it, don't make any more moves, it's enough for us to know that they are all in a gang."

"Yes."

"And that Qingyu, so bold, dare to hook up with outsiders behind my back, do you think I should export her at the beauty banquet?"

"Give it away with her expensive jewelry worth a thousand taels?"

"Oh yes, can't be cheap for her." Gu Yun thumped his head in annoyance, "I thought she was very smart at the beginning, why is she actually a stupid person?" ”

"Because Lanzhu provoked the deepest ** in her heart, there are only beauties at the beauty banquet, and my aunt will not go."

Gu Yun licked his lips and was speechless
