Zhao Xiu had just picked a suitable day and was ready to build a day when his grandmother Zhang went to the palace to talk to the Queen Mother, and Gao Zhen came to Jiannanhou Mansion again.

When Gao Zhen came back, he just simply asked the Zhang family to say goodbye, and then pulled Zhao Wei to the study to talk, but he didn't call Zhao Xiu. Although he looked at her more eagerly than before, he didn't even say a word of intimacy to her. Zhao Xiu always felt a little strange in her heart, remembering that he hadn't asked her until now this year to make a few new clothes for him, she couldn't help but be depressed. The few new clothes that have been made, although they are all sewn according to Gao Zhen's size, if he doesn't open his mouth again, she will give all the clothes to her brother!

Zhao Xiu was still angry there, but he didn't know what Gao Zhen and Zhao Wei said in the study. After hearing this, Zhao Wei hesitated a little: "Those dead soldiers are not ordinary people, if they are in a hurry, they are afraid that they will do everything, right?" I'm afraid they'll hurt my sister. ”

Gao Zhen Zhengse said: "If it is possible to hurt Sister Zhao, I will not open this mouth." It's just that I asked Sister Zhao to help cover it up, and my subordinates are not so incompetent that they expose their deeds in such a simple matter. ”

Zhao Wei listened, and his expression softened a lot: "Since you are sure, then I will let my sister help you with this." But do you have to let my sister go? In fact, I can also find a reason to visit Fang Jinqi and let your people be my long-term followers, and I can hide it from the ears and eyes of those who have a heart. ”

Gao Zhen shook his head: "When you go out on weekdays, you always only bring a few entourages. And it's fixed every time, if you suddenly change an unfamiliar face, people with a heart will definitely be suspicious. Besides, you didn't have much friendship with Fang Jinqi in the first place. Wouldn't it seem strange to come to the door rashly? is not as good as Sister Zhao and the girl of the Fang family, who are close friends in the boudoir and often come and go. ”

Zhao Wei was right to think about it, so he no longer objected. He ordered someone to invite his sister over, and wanted to solemnly tell her what had happened.

After Zhao Xiu came, he listened to his brother. Gao Zhen wanted to send two people to pretend to be the Zhao family's long-term entourage who went out with her, and followed her to the Fang family, so as to find an opportunity to contact Fang Sanye. She felt a little strange in her heart: "Why is this? Is there no other way for the prince to meet him? Pretending to be my long-term entourage, of course, you can enter the Fang family along the way, but the entourage brought by the guests has always rested in the outer courtyard, and may even run to the carriage and horse shed. It's impossible to get in touch with Fang Sanye, who lives in the courtyard of the deep house, right? ”

Why didn't Gao Zhen know this? The Fang family has not cut off contact with the outside world. What's more, the Fang family is crowded and the people are mixed, and it is not difficult to really want to mix into the house, just to spend some time and more time. He just wanted an excuse to meet Zhao Xiu and add some credit to the Jiannan Hou Mansion. Anyway, with the help of the Jiannan Hou Mansion, he can complete his tasks faster and more covertly.

So he replied, "Fang San hardly interacts with the outside world now. If you rashly come to the door and say that you want to find him, it will inevitably attract attention. If you alarm someone who shouldn't be alarmed. On the contrary, it is easy to startle snakes. And quietly sending someone to sneak in, although it can hide people's eyes and ears, but if Fang San is undecided, it may endanger my manpower, under the pretext of catching a thief or something, and then twisting it to the government half-dead, I can't openly save people. Borrow the name of your long-term entourage to enter, if the situation is not good, you can also get out of it, after all, the entourage of the daughter of the Jiannan Hou Mansion is not something that the Fang family can dispose of at will. ”

Zhao Xiu was right to think about it, and remembered that Fang Sanye seemed to be a member of King Ying's anti-party, but because there was no conclusive evidence, and he didn't do anything bad, and there were good brothers and good relatives to help talk about it, so he escaped, Gao Zhen planned to send someone to contact him quietly, could it also have something to do with the anti-party? She asked Gao Zhen vaguely: "Is this a task given to you by the emperor?" ”

Gao Zhen smiled and nodded: "Of course, if it weren't for the emperor's explanation, I wouldn't dare to call his people." ”

Zhao Xiu was relieved, with their position of building the Nanhou Mansion, they only needed to hug the emperor's thigh, and there was no need to ask about other details. She immediately agreed to Gao Zhen's request.

She was very happy, but Gao Zhen hesitated a little: "Sister Zhao, although this matter is not dangerous, if people know that you have helped the imperial court, those traitors may ......."

As soon as Zhao Xiu waved his hand, he interrupted him: "If I were afraid of this, I wouldn't have sent your uncle and nephew to the northbound ship in the first place." For the traitors who know the inside story, I have long been the object of their hatred, and I am not worse than this one and a half. ”

Gao Zhen listened, and didn't say anything more, but he couldn't help but think of the days when he and Zhao Xiu were on the boat, and his heart was warm. He looked at Zhao Xiu with a smile: "Sister Zhao, what you have done for me, I will never forget it in my life." Don't worry, I won't fail you. ”

Zhao Xiu's face turned red all of a sudden, what did he mean this time?

Zhao Wei coughed heavily, and immediately brushed up on the sense of storage. Gao Zhenban raised his face and made a facial paralysis, while Zhao Xiu blushed and tried to make a casual appearance. Zhao Wei looked at the expressions of his sister and friends, and his heart was depressed again, and he gritted his teeth and said: "The sincerity of the prince is really moving. But has the prince forgotten that I was also on the ship going north at the beginning, and today I also agreed to the invitation of the prince first? "If you want to be grateful, you should be grateful to him first, what does it mean to say to my sister alone that you will never be disappointed?!

Gao Zhen smiled at him: "Of course I won't forget Jì, Brother Wei, don't worry, I will respect you for the rest of my life." "After all, it's my uncle.

Zhao Wei seemed to understand the meaning of his expression, and his whole face was blank.

Zhao Xiu resisted the urge to snicker, quickly brought the topic back to business, and discussed the plan with Gao Zhen after a while. In the afternoon of the same day, she sent someone to deliver a letter to Fang Renzhu, saying that she had recently found a good book, and Ming'er planned to visit her and enjoy it with Fang Renzhu.

Although Fang Renzhu has been busy recently, she is still very interested in poetry and books, so she immediately agreed, and reported to her mother and brother and sister. Mrs. Fang also welcomed Zhao Xiu's arrival, only Fang Huizhu was a little embarrassed in her heart, and couldn't help but say: "The girl of the Zhao family knows that her mother and sister have been busy with my marriage recently, why do you want to bother?" ”

Fang Renzhu bowed her head and was silent, and Mrs. Fang counted down her eldest daughter: "What are you talking about?" There is no Miss Zhao. Your father doesn't know what to do now, don't you say how grateful you are to others, but you still dislike people coming to disturb you? ”

Fang Huizhu actually knew that it was not good as soon as she said it. Sure enough, she got her mother's number, but she thought that she had already set up a family, and she only needed to wait for marriage, and she didn't have to look at her parents' faces in everything, so she said unwillingly: "Mother always says that Miss Zhao is the benefactor of our family, but what did she do?" It's just to relay the nobleman's words to my sister. Besides, whether this noble person is a noble person or not, only she can say it herself. Whether it's true or not, who knows? Maybe the emperor originally planned to deal with his father like this, but there was nothing wrong with Miss Zhao in it, she just happened to run into it. But there was such a big favor. She didn't make any excuses, but she was cheeky enough to accept her mother's thanks. Such a person deserves me to be grateful to her? ”

Mrs. Fang's face turned white with anger, and Fang Renzhu hurriedly got up to comfort her mother. He sneered and said to Fang Huizhu: "Sister doesn't have to say such things to make my mother angry." I understand what my sister meant. The wedding date set by Meishan Bofu is too early, our family has to do a lot of things, every day my mother has to be busy from morning to night, I also have to help by the side, if there are guests coming, maybe it will be delayed. My sister is worried that her dowry will not be prepared on time, right? Actually, my sister doesn't have to worry. On weekdays, my mother instructed her subordinates to do all the major things, and she was in charge of the general affairs, and I just followed the side for a long time. It's not to the point where I can't do anything without it. Miss Zhao came to our house as a guest, just to talk to me for a while. won't delay my sister's marriage. ”

Fang Huizhu's face flushed: "You-"

"Enough!" Mrs. Fang categorically drank what her eldest daughter wanted to say, "Did you hear your sister's words?" It won't delay your marriage, go back to your room, I'm here! Whose daughter stares at the dowry list every day, for fear that the things prepared by the family are worse than others? ”

Fang Huizhu was embarrassed, hurriedly got up and saluted, then turned around and ran. Unexpectedly, when she got married, her family refused to give her a good face, just because she was already an abandoned child to the other party's family. Today, she can't enter the palace as a concubine, and she can't earn the glory they have been looking forward to for the Fang family, so what? Isn't Meishan Bofu a good family? Even if her parents were angry that she ruined the relationship with the Shang family, it was also her to eradicate her sister's competitors, isn't she contributing to the family? Besides, the Shang family's family affairs have also been done, and the friendship between the two families remains unchanged, why does her mother still treat her coldly? Her mother's relatives treated her so indifferently, and when she became the second young lady of Meishan Bofu in the future, she had power, see if they could really come up!

After Fang Huizhu left, Mrs. Fang sat on the original seat with a wooden face, and sighed for a long time. Fang Renzhu was silently and speechlessly pinched her shoulder, with just the right amount of strength. Mrs. Fang patted the back of her daughter's hand with her backhand: "Your sister's heart is crooked, and she won't come back, so let her go." In a few months, she will be the daughter-in-law of another family, whether she is good or bad, she can only depend on herself. ”

Fang Renzhu didn't speak, but she felt very uncomfortable in her heart. This love did not disappear until Zhao Xiu came on the second day. Zhao Xiu saw a few points, so he asked, "What's wrong with you?" Sick? The face is strangely ugly. ”

Fang Renzhu smiled reluctantly: "It's nothing, probably I didn't sleep well last night." ”

"You must be busy preparing for your sister's wedding, right? No matter how busy you are, you should pay attention to rest and take care of your body. Zhao Xiu persuaded a few words, thinking of the two people who mixed in in his "long follow", he hurriedly covered the strangeness on his face, took out the poetry collection that he had finally picked out, and chatted with Fang Renzhu.

After chatting about the book, they talked about the recent situation in the past few days, and then even talked about Fang Huizhu's wedding date. Zhao Xiu couldn't help but be taken aback when he learned that the Qiu family had set an auspicious day on July 12: "Isn't that less than two months left?" Is this too late? "Even if you want to do it before the Mid-Autumn Festival, you don't have to choose such an early day, right? Zhao Xiu had asked someone to check the auspicious days in order to move to the Hou Mansion before, and clearly remembered that there were two good days before the Mid-Autumn Festival, the second day of August, the ninth day of August and the end of July.

Fang Renzhu smiled bitterly: "The clothes and quilts were handed over to the four embroidery workshops to do, and the furniture was also divided among the four workshops. It's not something that can be prepared in a day or two, and if you leave it to an outside store, the cost will be too great. My mother was willing to give my sister some antique calligraphy and paintings, but she was afraid that the Qiu family would not value these things, and would rather want gold and silver treasures, so she was worried. ”

Zhao Xiu also understood the difficulties of their mother and daughter, and took the initiative to say: "Now that southern goods are popular in the capital, if your family needs to buy Jiangnan clothes, our Zhao family has a shop in Beijing." Just tell me that I'm going to greet you, and I won't make you spend more money. ”

Fang Renzhu hurriedly said: "Money is small, it's difficult for you to have a heart." My sister used to treat you like that, but you didn't hold a grudge against her, and offered to help. ”

Zhao Xiu smiled: "I'm willing to help, it's just for your sake, it has nothing to do with your sister." As long as you remember my affection. ”

Fang Renzhu was moved in her heart and solemnly thanked her again.

Zhao Xiu laughed and laughed with her, and mixed up the matter. It's just to help say hello, and it's not to let Liufang do a loss-making business, she thinks it's not a big deal. It's too early for the Qiu family, what do you think?

She asked Fang Renzhu, and Fang Renzhu replied: "Before the Mid-Autumn Festival, only this day is the most suitable, and I am afraid that it will not be able to catch up if it is late, there is no way." ”

Zhao Xiu was suspicious in his heart, what does it mean to "only this day is the most suitable"? How many dates are there to choose from? Is this what the Qiu family means? (To be continued......)
