He didn't feel at ease with her, so she reassured him.
She opened her eyes wide, stood up a little innocently, and said, "Does Uncle Gu think I'm reckless?" I'm a kid who doesn't know the height of the sky, and if you don't say it, I'll say I don't dare to say it. But don't tell my father that I said that. Otherwise, he won't be able to spare me! ”
As she spoke, she bit her lip and looked at Qi on the side, looking very worried.
Gu Zhicheng, who was groaning, heard her say this, and the knot in his heart suddenly loosened again.
Yes, with the Shen family's strict family rules, how could she be allowed to interfere in political affairs or even come up with such an idea? If she dared to reveal half a word, she and the Shen family would be the first to be unlucky, and if she were that kind of frivolous woman, she would not dive into such a rainy day. Just rush this, she won't say it.
Gu Zhicheng nodded without a trace, turned around and smiled with her: "When did you see when Uncle Gu was a long-tongued woman?" ”
Shen Yan patted his chest: "I'm relieved." ”
Seeing her like this, Qi also breathed a sigh of relief.
Although she didn't know much about these things in the court, and she didn't understand this clever thing very much, she also knew that Gu Zhicheng accepted Shen Yan's statement. Gentlemen always have more opinions than other women, as long as they come up with ideas. So he stood up with a smile, "I'm going to see if the white fungus soup that makes people boil is ready?" ”
When she went down, the maids standing outside the door also entered. For a while, the water was added, and the atmosphere was warmed up.
Gu Zhicheng returned to the main seat and sat down, swallowed a sip of tea, and said, "It should be three days later, and I will leave on the morning of the fifth day of the new year." ”
Wealth and wealth are in danger, this matter may be very tricky for other people, but for the Rongguo Mansion, it really belongs to the work of the hand. If he could avoid those risks in the future, so that the Gu family could rest assured that he would have a long-term relationship with the Shen family, and he could still do it without knowing it, why didn't he do it?
In the final analysis, what he valued was not the Shen family's knowledge, but their ability to stand firm in the two dynasties.
Although Shen Guanyu is still only a second-class waiter, this is definitely only temporary, if the emperor does not appreciate the Shen family, he will not order Shen Mi to accompany him, nor will he designate Shen Guanyu to be the chief examiner of next year's Spring Festival. There is a chance that Shen Mi will become Shen Guanyu's successor in the future. He really can't afford to give up this connection.
Everyone knows that the Taiping world relies on a pen in the hands of civil officials, and a tongue in the mouths of officials, as long as they have a good relationship with the Shen family, the Rongguo Mansion is a little bad, and there will be people in the court to speak for them. Moreover, the Gu family's relatives and eight neighbors are much more involved, and the emperor will have some scruples even if he doesn't like them.
At the beginning, King Chen was defeated because he shouldn't have invited all his cronies to go south, and there was no one in the court, so naturally he could only be slaughtered by Emperor Zhou.
So at the moment, even if Lu Ingot will be framed in the future, it is just speculation, but in view of Shen Mi's attitude towards Lu Ingot yesterday, he is not willing to pin his future on this fluke. Although there is a risk at the moment, the stability that can be exchanged is very worthwhile.
Shen Yan also heard that he was hinting at her Lu ingot's itinerary, and knew that he had made up his mind, so he nodded and said, "I always feel that there are many dreams at night, and it would be great if I could do it as soon as possible." ”
Gu Zhicheng groaned, raised his eyebrows and stretched out a finger, stroked the bridge of his nose and said, "At most, you will receive the news before the day after tomorrow." ”
Shen Yan smiled, took a silver skewer and inserted a small snack, and ate it.
Although she didn't have much contact with Gu Zhicheng, she was still confident in this matter, and the most difficult thing was that he didn't agree to do it, as long as he nodded, the plan would be a ninety percent success.
Shen Yan next waited for the rest of the Yicheng in the mansion.
But the waiting time was not easy for her.
She thinks that she is not the kind of person who has the ability to do everything, and the things in the court are the ones she is not familiar with, especially this matter is very related, she is step by step, and it took a lot of effort to eliminate Gu Zhicheng's doubts about her, and instead nodded willingly to agree, if he regrets it, then he will give up his efforts, and he may even lose his wife and soldiers.
So she really can't be so calm and calm.
After two days of suffering, on the morning of the third day after returning from the Gu family, Qi suddenly invited her to come over for tea.
"The thing was successful, last night, the people have arrived!"
Qi looked at her with a smile and said.
Because Lu Deng was about to leave Beijing in a few days, he stayed in the yamen late for the past few days before returning, and with this pre-condition, it was much easier to act. Gu Zhicheng sent people to set up barriers on his way to clear the passers-by, and then ordered the guards to disguise themselves as robbers and quietly put him and the little guy into a sack and rob him, without even alarming a wild cat during the whole process.
Shen Yan's heart almost jumped out of his throat when he heard this!
She stood underground for half a day before she regained her breath, and it worked! …… The events of this life finally have the possibility of being reversed in her hands! This proves that it is really possible for her to pull Fahrenheit back from the path of death! It is really possible to save so many lives in Washington! It also proves that it is indeed possible for her to fulfill her wish to have no regrets in this life!
As long as she works hard, this qiē is really, really possible!
Every word of Qi is like a thousand-year-old ginseng, which is transformed into a spirit and injected into her body, making her instantly full of hope and strength!
She smiled and blinked, adapted to the astringency of her eyes, drank the tea invited by Qi's family, and returned to the house to embroider flowers all day.
The next day, the government and the opposition were boiling.
The emperor ordered the Jinyi guard to investigate the case, and then blocked the major gates inside and outside, and ordered the forbidden army to carefully check the passers-by.
Shen Mi has been running to Lufu every day in the past few days, and Gu Zhicheng is also accompanied by him.
This case is strange, so even the Shen Mansion has a discussion at this time, many people don't know whether they have had enough of the war or what, guessing that there is a rebellion against the army, and the street outside the fang is more enthusiastic, some say that it is the green forest bandits, some say that it is the enemy provocation, and some say that it is the old department of King Chen, in order to fight the royal court of the Zhou family, so secretly attack the Qin mission in the court.
The imperial court naturally used officials at all levels to refute rumors and stabilize people's hearts.
As a result, Guangxi will have to dispatch people and horses to increase their efforts to pacify and rectify the situation.
In short, as soon as this incident came out, it had a more or less impact on all aspects of the court.
In addition to paying attention to the court, Shen Yan also paid more attention to the news of the Lu family, although the biggest beneficiary of this matter was actually Lu Ding himself, but she also had to admit that her original intention was not to save him, but first of all for herself. But she couldn't regret it, because if she had to go back in time, she would still do the same.
The only thing she was sure of was Lu Ingot's safety.
When Shen Mi was about to go to the Lu Mansion again, she offered to follow.
The Lu family is in a hurry, and it is her responsibility to take a look.
The night after Lu Ding's disappearance, Mrs. Lu received a blackmail letter, which stated that it was limited to half a month, and that if the Lu family could take out an ancestral two-foot-tall white jade thousand-armed Guanyin that glowed at night, they would let him out. And the half-month Neuro ingots will not be in any danger to their lives. After half a month, there will be no comment.
Therefore, Shen Mi and their friends of Lu Ingot should have been having a headache about how to raise this Jade Buddha recently.
She would have directly extorted the 100,000 taels of silver, and the silver belonged to the imperial court, so naturally she would not take it out to ransom people. Besides, the silver in the hands of the robber also seems to be logical.
But after thinking about it, it was a good idea to take care of Zhicheng. If the court doesn't take the money, it doesn't mean that others won't take it, first of all, the Lu family itself is not a white ding, and the ancestors also have an industry, but they can't make up 100,000 taels, don't you have a Shen Mi who takes care of each other? Hua's person is also a person who only recognizes black and white, and if Shen Mi told Hua's to take money to save Lu Ting's life, she would probably agree.
So this seems to be the thoughtfulness of Gu Zhicheng.
Where is there a two-foot-tall bodhisattva in the Lu family? Even if Shen Mi buys it with money now, don't think about getting anything that will shine at night.
Although she came up with the idea of kidnapping, Gu Zhicheng commanded his subordinates to do it easily, and the scene made people not see the slightest flaw, as if they were born with the potential to be a bandit in their bones, and the means were so authentic, I was afraid that even the real grass would have to bow down.
But then again, if he doesn't even have this ability, then why was the Gu family named the grandfather of the country?
Shen Yan has occasionally been in a trance these days, but in fact, it also fell in Shen Mi's eyes.
Looking at Shen Yan, who was talking and talking at the moment, he thought that she was frightened when he heard such a big thing, and he couldn't bear it in his heart, thinking that she didn't go out much on weekdays, and it was okay to take her out for a walk, so he asked people to prepare a carriage.
"Your mother is not feeling well, so I won't go today, and when I get to the Lu Mansion, you will go in to find Aunt Lu. Your Uncle Lu has been missing for so many days, and there is no news at all, and the people in brocade clothes and guards in the imperial court launched a more rigorous search yesterday, and the target is in the area of the East Gate Building. Stay for a while, I have something important to discuss with your Uncle Gu, and you are not allowed to cause trouble. ”
Fahrenheit was on his period for the past two days, and he didn't go anywhere. But because of Shen Yan's original prompt, he also planned to establish some contacts in the circle of officials and relatives, and it happened that something happened to the Lu family, so he also followed Shen Mi to the Lu family a few times. Originally, he was not familiar with Mrs. Lu, but because of sympathy for her plight, the two sides established a friendship.
But Shen Yan's attention obviously fell on the second half of the sentence.
Shen Mi Jinyiwei is going to step up the search again, and it is also near the East Gate Building where Lu Ingot is placed?
Her heart jumped violently, and she didn't know if Gu Zhicheng was prepared?
Because of Shen Mi's words, her originally peaceful heart suddenly became worried.
Absentmindedly went out, who knew that when she arrived at the door, her already restless heart suddenly became a little more gloomy, Gu Zhicheng had already driven the horse, and the person who was standing side by side with him on the horse was Gu Song! R1152
