Chapter 183: A Turn
Since Rong Wan said this, the Qi family did not insist.
These days, she is becoming more and more indulgent to Rong Wan, and she has a bit of a sense of letting go.
But no matter what, she is still Rong Wan's mother, and on top of major events, she has to prevent Rong Wan from making mistakes, after all, Rong Jun is younger than her, and she will suffer because of Rong Wan's reputation.
Seeing that Qi agreed, Rong Wan didn't think much about it, stood up and walked out of the main courtyard.
Along the way, there was a lot of worry, but Bai Yao followed her silently, and after a few words, Rong Wan turned around and said to Bai Yao, "You go back first, I want to go by myself." β
Bai Yao glanced at Rong Wan worriedly, but she had never disobeyed Rong Wan's order, so she said, "The weather is cold, the lady will come back early." He went to Cuizhuyuan first.
And Rong Wan walked along the road, and suddenly remembered something, so she walked out of the hanging flower door and walked into Luo Qian's study before his death.
The study room in the outer courtyard is cleaned by special servants on weekdays, and Luo Qian's collection of books over the years has always been there, even if Luo Jingyu wants to find books, he just takes the books back to Ganlin Courtyard, and puts the books back in the study when he finishes them.
The reason why they don't read in this study is because there are too many traces of Luo Qian here, and they can't bear to destroy it, as if their father is still alive, but they also know that this is just their wishful thinking.
Rong Wan entered the study, stretched out her hand and walked slowly along the wall of the study, her fingers touched the Jingde celadon vase placed aside, the pattern of the bottle body was often admired by her father, she crossed the small objects in the room one by one, and finally arrived at the wooden shelf filled with books.
My father was a book lover. The furnishings in this room are wiped by the servants, but the wooden frame of this book collection is wiped by my father himself, little by little, carefully, the books in the wooden frame are all sorted out by my father himself, it is his half of his life's painstaking efforts, and he cherishes it the most, but he just left like this, and he can't take a single one.
Or rather, he took it. Those books. Forever in his heart.
Rong Wan stood by the bookshelf for a while, and then sat down in front of the table again, leaning on the table if outsiders came in. I must have thought that she was tired and lay down on the table to rest. But it is a bowed head. There were already tears on his face.
She endured it to prevent herself from making a sound, and a breath of air blocked her throat. She was so stuffy that she was about to suffocate.
She had experienced this vulnerability many times, but this vulnerability could not be known to outsiders, and even though her heart was already full of holes, she could only pretend that nothing happened.
Rong Wan stayed in the study in the outer courtyard for about an hour, and when the tears on her face were no longer visible, she straightened her clothes and walked out of the door of the study, but when she came out of the study, she saw Bai Yao already standing outside the study.
Rong Wan paused and asked, "Why are you here?" β
Bai Yao's face was a little sunny, and said, "The maid saw that the lady had not returned for a long time, so she came out to look for it, and heard the servant say that the lady was in the study, and the maid was guarding the door, waiting for the lady to come out." β
Rong Wan nodded, Bai Yao has always been the most careful.
But it's late tonight, and what she wants to do can't be done today, so she can only leave it for tomorrow.
Maybe it's because I stayed in the study room in the outer courtyard for a long time today, and my mood is much happier, and when it comes to night, I actually fall asleep as soon as I dip the bed.
I slept soundly that night until the next morning.
Rong Wan went to the main courtyard to ask the Qi family for peace, and on the grounds that she wanted to go out to buy some things today, she asked the Qi family to agree to her mansion.
I have to say that since the Qi family was uneasy in the main courtyard, her life has become more and more sad, and if she wants to go out, she must get the permission of the Qi family.
For convenience, Rong Wan still changed into men's clothes, Bai Yao was naturally dressed as a small girl, the two of them were still driven by Yang Chu, and after Yang Chu parked the carriage in the West Market, he found a slightly more luxurious teahouse to enter.
The tea doctor in the teahouse greeted him and asked, "How many people are Lang Jun?" β
Rong Wan could lower her voice to make her voice sound more man-like, "Find an Accord, I want to wait for someone." β
Dr. Tea answered, and led Rong Wan to the private room on the second floor, which was already the best tea house in the West Market, so the decoration was a little different from other places, where the private rooms were only separated by screens, but here were separate rooms.
Although there are many people who drink tea, there are not many people who go to the teahouse to taste tea, so there are not many people in the teahouse at this time, but because of this, it is a good place to discuss things.
Rong Wan ordered Bai Yao to reward Dr. Tea with a few copper plates, and then let Dr. Tea go down.
And the tea here, since Rong Jun came back from Nishang Pavilion that day, he obviously didn't blame other teas, since he didn't drink it, then he didn't drink it.
The private room that Dr. Tea took Rong Wan to was right next to the window, and she could see every move under the teahouse very clearly.
After waiting for a while, I saw Xia Chi appear in front of the teahouse.
Rong Wan frowned, and when Xia Chi came up, Rong Wan said, "What's the matter?" β
Xia Chi half-bowed, bowed his head and arched his fist, "Back to the lady, Uncle Guo refuses to come." β
Rong Wan was stunned, because Xun Zhan was far away, so she asked Xia Chi to go out first and invite Xun Zhan to this teahouse, she knew that if there was no enough reason, Xun Zhan would not come, so she asked Xia Chi to Xun Zhan to say that it was about people's lives, but Xun Zhan didn't pay attention to it, but how could she go to Xun Zhan's mansion, wouldn't it be even more faceless to be rejected by Xun Zhan.
"What does he say?" Rong Wan was obviously a little displeased.
Xia Chi still lowered his head, and in a muffled voice, he said directly, "Uncle Guo said that the lady has a bad memory, and forgot about this place." β
Rong Wan was really depressed now, she thought that the last time Xun Zhan invited her to Nishang Pavilion was because of the incident of the Thirteenth Prince, but now that she thinks about it, it must be to make fun of her.
Fortunately, she had the foresight to change into men's clothes today, if she was wearing women's clothes, and then she was called into the Nishang Pavilion by Xun Zhan, her face would definitely be shattered, although now, her face was also broken a lot, but few people knew about it, right?
Rong Wan thought about it again and again, but she still got up, asked Bai Yao to pay the shopkeeper of the teahouse for drinking water, she got into the carriage, and let Yang Chu go to the Nishang Pavilion.
Although she is only here for the second time. But the people in the pavilion remembered her vividly, and when they saw her coming, they didn't wait for her to ask Xun Zhan, and took her to the place where Xun Zhan was last time, but there was no woman who played the pipa last time.
Rong Wan just glanced at the position where the woman was originally sitting, and then heard Xun Zhan smile and said, "What's the matter, after changing into men's clothes, you started thinking about the little lady?" β
Rong Wan coughed violently, turned her head to look at Xun Zhan, and saw that the expression that seemed to be smiling but not smiling had not disappeared. I had to keep that breath in my heart. sat aside silently and said, "Uncle Guo, why can't you change places." It's extremely inappropriate for me to be in the Neon Pavilion as a woman. β
Xun Zhan said disapprovingly. "This pavilion is full of women. What's wrong with you? β
Rong Wan glanced at him, and without speaking again, she knew the words that came out of Xun Zhan's mouth. It's definitely not a good thing, she has a lot of adults, and it's better not to be as knowledgeable as him.
Thinking about it, Rong Wan no longer answered Xun Zhan's words, but just returned to the main room, "I came today to borrow a few people from Uncle Guo." β
Xun Zhan glanced at her and said very normally, "Borrow someone, borrow whom?" β
Looking at Xun Zhan's appearance, it was obvious that he wanted to ask clearly, and Rong Wan was also ready, so she said directly, "Three years ago, my sister witnessed a murder case, and Yan Che, the eldest son of the Marquis of Chang'an, wanted to use this incident to blackmail me into marrying him, so I came to borrow a few people from Uncle Guo." β
Yan Che went to Luofu to propose marriage, others don't know, but Xun Zhan must know.
However, he didn't take this matter seriously, after all, the door of the Marquis of Chang'an, it was strange that the Qi family could look at it.
Hearing Rong Wan say this today, I know why Yan Che went to Luofu so confidently to propose marriage, originally pinching Rong Jun's handle.
Although he doesn't know everything about the things in the capital, big and small, what he wants to know will never be left behind.
What happened to Rong Jun in Yanyun Tower three years ago was originally out of his ears, but who let this matter be mixed with Xiao Xuanqing, His Royal Highness King Ning, he and Xiao Xuanqing were not dealing with each other, and it was naturally normal to plant a spy by his side.
When that incident reached his ears, he still felt that Xiao Xuanqing was very naΓ―ve.
Now it seems that Xiao Xuanqing killed those people that day, but there were still fish that slipped through the net.
Thinking about it, Xun Zhan came back to his senses, looked at Rong Wan and said, "What are you borrowing someone for?" β
Rong Wan replied, "There are very few people available around me, but I have found out who Yan Che is dealing with today, if my guess is right, there should be useful people around Uncle Guo, I wonder if you can help me kill those people?" β
Rong Wan said this lightly, but it was rare and ordinary for the murder to appear in the man's mouth, but it was strange to appear in the woman's mouth with a slight smile on her face.
Of course, Xun Zhan didn't ask, but he just looked at Rong Wan twice, smiled, and then said, "Okay." β
Then he said, "I'm going to leave Bianjing in the next few days, so I'll send four people for you to send first, and when I come back, I want to see if you can handle this matter." β
Rong Wan saw that Xun Zhan answered simply, so she put her mind at ease, "I wonder when Uncle Guo will let me see those people?" β
Xun Zhan got up from the couch, Dan Feng glanced at Rong Wan with slanted eyes, and seemed to smile, "The Dark Guard is not something you can see casually, but I will take you to see someone, he is much stronger than the Dark Guard." β
When Rong Wan heard this, her eyes were a little bright, she was worried that she had no one, and now that she had an opportunity to recognize someone, how could she let it go, so she also got up with Xun Zhan and got a little closer to Xun Zhan, "Where is that person?" β
Seeing Rong Wan's eager appearance, Xun Zhan couldn't help but shake his head, in a good mood, and walked by Rong Wan's side, "Come with me." β
Rong Wan didn't think much about it immediately, and followed Xun Zhan out of the Nishang Pavilion, but Xun Zhan came on horseback, Rong Wan hurriedly got into the carriage and ordered Yang Chu to catch up with Xun Zhan in front.
Xun Zhan's equestrian skills are very good, and that horse is also a good horse, naturally it is not comparable to ordinary horses, not to mention that this horse is also pulling a cart made of wood, not to mention that its speed will be slowed down.
Therefore, it is not surprising that Yang Chu lost it.
Naturally, Yang Chu is not to blame, Rong Wan had to grit her teeth and scold Xun Zhan, knowing that she was riding in a carriage that was in the way, and she was running fast on horseback, so she didn't want to go against her?
Of course, she can only say this in her stomach, if it is in front of Xun Zhan, I am afraid that Xun Zhan will fight against her to the end.
Rong Wan sat in the carriage thinking about where Xun Zhan would go, and along the position to the west of the Nishang Pavilion, there was the Xun Mansion, but no matter what, it was better to try your luck at the Xun Mansion first.
When they arrived at Xun's house, they saw Xun Zhan standing at the gate, waiting for Rong Wan to come down, and sneered, "I run so slowly, you can still chase and lose, it can be seen that there are really no useful people around you." β
Rong Wan had long been accustomed to Xun Zhan's ridicule, but Yang Chu's face darkened, while Xia Chi, who was standing next to Yang Chu, bowed his head slightly and said nothing.
The side door of Xun's mansion opened, and Xun Zhan led Rong Wan and Bai Yao in, but Yang Chu and Xia Chi were left outside the mansion, and they were afraid that the two of them would have bad intentions.
Just kidding, no wonder the two of them can compare to his uncle Xun Guo?
What kind of character is Uncle Xun Guo, it is simply a capable person who coexists with the sun and the moon and jumps out of the stone.
Of course, it's okay to think about it, if it really came out, then the two of them would have died on the same day, the same month, and the same year.
The side door of Xun Mansion slowly closed, Xun Zhan walked in front, and suddenly asked, "You just follow up like this, and you are not afraid that I will sell you." β
Rong Wan was stunned, his face turned dark, and he was in the mood to joke at this time.
But she still replied angrily, "Uncle Guo is both talented and virtuous, how can he do such a despised thing, so Uncle Guo doesn't want to scare me?" β
It sounds like a compliment, but it's not.
Rong Wan used to be decent every time she saw Xun Zhan, and her eagerness to make a big salute had nothing to do with him, but now she has become sharp-toothed, but Xun Zhan said that this matter has nothing to do with him.
Of course, anyone with a discerning eye can see that Xun Zhan is the only one who can make Rong Wan can't hold back her temper.
However, the docile cat suddenly stretched out its claws, which was very unpleasant, Xun Zhan hooked his lips and stayed in the study of the outer courtyard.
When outsiders enter the Xun Mansion, the innermost place can only be the study.
After all, there are still a few old monsters in the inner courtyard, and if they are caught, they will need to talk a lot.
Rong Wan frowned, then followed Xun Zhan in, sat aside, and then asked, "Uncle Guo said that he wanted to bring me to see someone?" β
Xun Zhan was not in a hurry, he took out a military book from the side, and read it, completely ignoring what Rong Wan said.
However, Rong Wan didn't wait long, but after a cup of tea, a person came from outside the study, because he didn't see Rong Wan there, so he swaggered and said, "Uncle Guo, people have been short of money to spend recently, and they haven't gone to the casino to gamble twice, so you called me over, and I said, I can win at least fifty taels when I open that hand." β
Rong Wan watched the green shadow in front of her circling in front of Xun Zhan, but her mouth was so hard, she was already praying silently in her heart, could it be that the person Xun Zhan said was him?
Don't! (To be continued.) )
