On the way back, Kapok couldn't help but ask Zhu Mingyu: "Miss, where is the wood incense left?" "It's not that she likes to worry, it's that Yun Izubai is too unreassuring.

"Don't worry, it's okay." Zhu Mingyu just wanted to try them, there were too many mysteries on Mu Xiang, she was not only literate but also Qimen Dunjia, why was she willing to be her maid in such an identity.

And Yun Chubai doesn't seem to be a person who can calm down, it seems that he knows Mu Xiang, but why didn't he ask himself? Both of them pretended not to know each other in front of them, I don't know if they saw it, anyway, she felt that something was wrong.

"Hmm." Kapok nodded, since the young lady said that it was okay, then it was okay, I just hope that the prince will not scare Mu Xiang.

It wasn't until Mu Xiang came back that Kapok saw that there was nothing unusual about her, so she was relieved. However, Zhu Mingyu felt that Mu Xiang smiled more appropriately than usual, and there was no confusion at all, which made her more sure of her guess.

Zhu Mingyu asked casually, "It's all cleaned up?" ”

"Yes, the prince has already set off." Mu Xiang said and took out a jade plaque and handed it to Zhu Mingyu, "The prince asked the slave to give this to the young lady." ”

Zhu Mingyu took a look, the texture of the jade plate is warm, the color is pure, and it is rare to see, there is no engraved stroke on it, it is very plain. However, she remembered that this was given to him by Princess Heng in the year of Yun Chubai's weak crown, and he has been wearing it on his body since then, she didn't believe that this was given to him by Yun Chubai, but she didn't expect to give Mu Xiang.

It seems that it is really not easy between the two, and it should not be accidental that Mu Xiang found him.

However, Zhu Mingyu didn't expose Mu Xiang's words: "Then I'll accept it." ”

Seeing that Zhu Mingyu accepted it, Mu Xiang was also relieved, she didn't expect Yun Chubai to give her this when she was leaving.

Zhu Mingyu did not rush to restore Mrs. Zhu's life, but read the book leisurely.

After a while, Zhu Mingxiu came in a hurry, and as soon as he entered the door, he said, "Eldest sister, I heard that Cousin Bai is gone?" ”

Zhu Mingyu put down the book and said, "My cousin has something to do, and he left in a hurry, I didn't have time to call someone to inform you, how do you know?" ”

Since Zhu Mingxiu has eyeliner in Shanyuan, he naturally knows that Zhu Mingyu's words are false, although he is a little annoyed, but he is not good at attacking: "I have a maid coming home, and I happened to see Cousin Bai leaving at the door." ”

Zhu Mingyu also did not expose Zhu Mingxiu's lies: "I'm going to go to my grandmother's place, do you want the second sister to be together?" ”

Zhu Mingxiu naturally didn't want to go, recently Kong Jiayi was often by Mrs. Zhu's side, so she could hide.

Zhu Mingyu knew that she wouldn't go, so she took the maid and Zhu Mingxiu out of Yuyuan together, and coincidentally, she ran into Kong Jiayi.

Kong Jiayi saw Zhu Mingyu and Zhu Mingxiu coming over with a smile and a smile, snorted, didn't say hello, turned around and left.

Zhu Mingxiu felt a little embarrassed, laughed twice, and said, "Jiayi's temper is getting more and more weird. ”

Zhu Mingyu smiled and was noncommittal.

Kong Jiayi's face was gloomy after returning to Tongyuan, which made Zhu Chengshu startled when she saw it.

"Jiayi, what's wrong with you? The face is so bad, is it sick? ”

"It's fine." Kong Jiayi was impatient with Zhu Chengshu's nagging, and went straight into the house without stopping.

Zhu Chengshu sighed behind her, looking at the letter in her hand a little embarrassed, Yu'er said that she wanted to show it to Jiayi, forget it, let's wait until Jiayi is in a good mood......

Kong Jiayu, who was far away in Jiangnan, didn't know that Kong Jiayi hadn't seen his letter, and things on his side were also very upsetting. When Zhu Chengye and the others arrived in Jiangnan, they successfully connected with Master Du, a friend of Mr. Lu, but according to Master Du, this matter was a little difficult to do.

Kong Jiayu had long understood that it would not be so easy, otherwise he would not have traveled thousands of miles to the Zhu family to find their help to get ahead. But after listening to Master Du's words, he felt that the situation was even more unfavorable. His two uncles don't know who they have hit, and the business is going well, but recently they are walking with the wind, and they suddenly became hot people in Lizhou City, so it is even more difficult to overturn the case.

Originally, a large part of the shopkeepers who had not taken refuge with the second and third uncles before he left had also defected, but there were still a few loyal ones who came to him after learning that he had returned.

However, Kong Jiayu did not plan to give up, not this time, and next time, he must get back what belongs to him.

Spring in the south of the Yangtze River came very early, the first rain had already fallen in Lizhou in March, Kong Jiayu did not have an umbrella and walked on the street with the drizzle, and suddenly heard someone calling him behind him, and when he looked back, it was Qin Keji.

"What do you think? I called you a few times and didn't hear you. Qin Keji wore a pair of thick-soled clogs with bare feet, lining his appearance, looking androgynous, not like the feeling of people in the world.

Qin Keji's entourage held a large umbrella for him, and he didn't touch the rain stars at all, coupled with his appearance, people passing by couldn't help but look twice, but Qin Keji seemed to be accustomed to it and didn't care.

Kong Jiayu suddenly envied him, but he still put on a gentle smile and said, "Qin Gongzi, I didn't expect you to be in Lizhou." ”

"When are you going back to Lizhou?" Qin Keji knew about the affairs of the Kong family, and he also knew that the second and third elders of the Kong family had been in the limelight recently, so he asked this question.

Without waiting for Kong Jiayu to answer, Qin Keji said again: "Let's go, find a place to sit, and let's go to Bailu Tower." ”

The little guy who followed Qin Keji was very clever, and when he heard this, he immediately trotted to do it first.

Seeing this, Kong Jiayu couldn't refuse, so he went to Bailu Tower with Qin Keji.

Bailulou is one of the best restaurants in Lizhou, the Qin family has a stake in it, its location is not in the prosperous area of Lizhou, but because it is adjacent to the Lijiang River, you can enjoy the scenery of the river from the window.

Hearing that Qin Keji was coming, the shopkeeper naturally left a room with an excellent location on the third floor of Linjiang for them.

Qin Keji was actually not familiar with Kong Jiayu, but he had met him when he was in the Zhu family, and he temporarily asked him to come, mainly to ask about the situation of the Zhu family, but he felt that it was really strange for him to ask this, so he silently poured Kong Jiayu a glass of wine.

Kong Jiayu naturally didn't know what Qin Keji was thinking, and remembered that the Qin family and the Kong family also had some dealings, could it be that he was here to be a lobbyist? Seeing that Qin Keji didn't speak, he wasn't ready to speak first.

The Lijiang River shrouded in drizzle has a unique style, the river surface is covered with a layer of light smoke, and the water surface cannot be seen, but the weeping willows on both sides of the river have also begun to turn green, which is a rare fresh color in the gray landscape.

The two of them drank quietly and looked out the window, neither of them spoke.

Qin Keji couldn't hold his breath anymore and asked, "When are you going back?" ”

Get back? This is his home, where is he going back?

Kong Jiayu paused before replying: "It is estimated that it will take a while." ”

Qin Keji also knew that the matter on his side was a bit tricky and not so easy to deal with, but if he didn't go back, how could he bring those things back.

Sending someone over by himself seemed too exciting, but it was safe and unnoticeable to let Kong Jiayu take it back. Qin Keji made up his mind and decided to help Kong Jiayu, so he said, "If you don't leave recently, I'll take you to see someone another day." ”
