Xiao Gu Meimei slept and woke up, and found that the sun was setting in the west, and it was time for dinner.

Her long hair was soothing on her shoulders, and she stretched her waist beautifully, only feeling that this kind of day was a rare leisurely and relaxed day for many years.

But just for a moment, she squinted slightly and got up neatly from the bed!

Someone is peeping through the door panel!

She got out of bed quietly, without a sound under her feet, slowly walked to the door, and opened the door suddenly!

"Ahh

At a very close distance, Xiao Gu's eyes narrowed slightly, shining in the dark like a cat.

The other man screamed, trembling as if he had been greatly frightened, and with tears in his eyes, he frowned at her as if she could eat people.

"You, you're Sister Gu, aren't you......?"

It's the tear-filled girl when you enter the door.

"What are you peeking at?"

Xiao Gu asked expressionlessly-in fact, she was in a daze, but in the eyes of others, she looked very cold and unpredictable.

"I, I didn't—I'm here to call you for dinner!"

The maid's voice trembled in a hurry, and tears seemed to flood her eyes.

Xiao Gu touched his nose and smiled so much that he showed his white teeth - the first time he didn't cut wood, he could eat hot, which was good!

Her white teeth glistened in the dim light, and to the maid's eyes were as terrifying as prey—somehow she had an instinctive fear of her new companion.

****

Xiao Gu went to the kitchen suite and saw three women and one man sitting on the small round table, the little guy was only twelve or thirteen years old, and he was usually very honest in sweeping the floor and carrying water.

When they were eating, the second Miss Huang had already gone back - she was sitting quietly and drinking tea, but she was always talking to Qin's mother, and she saw that Guangsheng had not come back from the martial arts arena at the time of the meal, so she had to leave.

As soon as they were gone, they couldn't say anything for a while, just ate silently.

Xiao Gu's amount of food really scared the maid called the beginning of the month - she didn't see rudeness in her movements, but she pointed out the country with a spoonful of chopsticks and swayed freely, and she ate two bowls alone, and at the beginning of the month, she looked at her shallow half bowl of rice, and the corners of her mouth skimmed without a trace, and said softly: "Sister Xiao Gu's appetite is really good, what did you do at home before?" ”

What did you do before?

Xiao Gu's hand paused, her eyes fell into the depth of memory, and after a few moments, she smiled, "It's the pig killer!" ”

My father once said that the direct minister should use the pen as the sword and the sword, and punish the traitor Kuang Fu Sheji in the world, which is the purpose of my generation's ten-year cold window.

He did it, how many people lost their officials and their lives because of his direct advice, and how many people's blood was stained on his pen and knife to achieve his black veil and Lingyun Road.

For those innocent and non-innocent, the so-called upright and unashamed world-famous ministers are just a vicious and cruel butcher.

"Oh~~~"

At the beginning of the month, his voice dragged on a little long, and his playful expression was a little disdainful and superior, "My father used to be a talent and famous. ”

Chu Lan felt a little in awe: she turned out to be the daughter of a scholar, why was she sold here?

Mother Qin on the side couldn't see her frivolous appearance, and said coldly: "Although Xiucai is a scholar, he still has no power and no power if he doesn't pass the career, and he can only share some of the pig's head meat that Confucius paid tribute to once a year. ”

The corners of her mouth are so old and spicy, just look at the red circles in her eyes at the beginning of the month, and the chopsticks are trembling, you can understand that she is very accurate.

Everyone had just eaten two bites, but they heard Guangsheng calling the name of the beginning of the month.

"Young Master, are you back? I'll be right away! ”

The beginning of the month immediately burst into tears and laughed, put down dinner, twisted his waist and left.

Mother Qin sneered: Another one who wants to climb high branches.

After a while, the month of the month came back, his face was a little blue, and he almost stuffed Xiao Gu's soup spoon into his mouth in a trance-fortunately, Chu Lanyan quickly snatched it away.

At the beginning of the month, her voice trembled a little, and she took out a key from her waist like a negative anger, "Mother Qin, the young master asked me to hand over the family's money to you to manage." ”

Guangsheng is the chief flag officer, and he doesn't have many people, but he is a bachelor and has few family members, so this month's salary and the reward of the chief will be kept by the beginning of the month, but this time he actually asked her to transfer it to Qin's mother to take care of it.

Mother Qin was in her heart - she had always been worried that because she was from the Marquis of Jining, Young Master Guangsheng would not trust her at all, but now it seems that he is still as clear as a torch. Having said that, none of the masters in the Hou Mansion are good at stubble, she is a close confidant of the first Mrs. Zhang, how can she work for them?

At the beginning of the month, she wiped her tears, choked up and ran to the room to drag a wooden box where silver money was stored, and brought another account book, and glanced at Xiao Gu resentfully, "The young master also said that this account book will be handed over to Xiao Gu to take care of." ”

Mother Qin nodded secretly: One person is in charge of money and one person is in charge of accounts, this will put an end to private fraud, and the accounts are clear, this young master has been absurd since he was a child, but he is actually very capable of doing things.

Xiao Gu frowned and was very surprised, at the beginning of the month, he peeked at her, and asked in a whisper, "Sister Xiaogu, do you know how to read the accounts?" You just said that your father is a butcher, do you know how to read? ”

Faced with doubts, Xiao Gu picked up the account book and looked at it, his brows furrowed even deeper.

At the beginning of the month, he was secretly proud, pretending to be kind and said: "It doesn't matter if you don't understand, it's really not good, I'll go and tell the young master for you...... You can't be reluctant to do it if you don't know a big word! ”

Xiao Gu flipped through the account book and said faintly, "Who wrote this?" It's ugly like a dog gnawing. ”

"Uh......"

Ignoring the red-faced appearance of the beginning of the month, she continued to attack with a poisonous tongue: "The word "wine in this wine money is missing, and it is sprinkled with water...... And here sixteen plus twenty-five is forty-one, not fifty-one...... The arithmetic is messy, and this account is like a mess! ”

The scene was silent, and the embarrassing atmosphere even felt Chu Lan, who was drinking soup with a bowl.

The next moment, Yuewa cried out and ran away without looking back.

"What's wrong with her, what are you crying and running?"

Faced with Xiao Gu's doubts, Mother Qin and Chu Lan glanced at each other, and they could only smile bitterly.

*****

Three watches in the middle of the night, everything is quiet.

Xiao Gu listened to Chu Lan's subtle and steady breathing, quietly got out of bed, and walked to the courtyard.

The quiet moonlight is spread between the black tiles and white walls, the deep shadows of the branches are swaying in the cold night, and the eaves and corners of the garden are frosted into frost, revealing a layer of crystal white.

Xiao Gu walked out of the hall quietly.

Binh Ninh Fang is not an ordinary town, because the military order takes precedence, so there is no curfew. However, the people living here are all the families of military officers, and for safety reasons, they rarely go out in the middle of the night, and it is not popular to drink at night, so the streets are empty.

Xiao Gu walked to the only post house in the fang, which was intended for fur traders, because the duties of the military household included farming and animal husbandry, so there were also merchants appointed by the imperial court to collect the surplus rice and leather goods.

The post house is brightly lit, overlapping courtyard doors, there are half-open doors in which someone is holding a cigarette bag and touching dominoes to gamble, and the sound of abacus beads in another room resounded throughout the courtyard.

Xiao Gu walked to a side courtyard, his eyes frozen-

Someone put a pot of small and elegant Junzi Orchid by the half-open window, the cold is steep, and the Junzi Orchid is slightly haggard and withered, but it is still tenaciously surviving.

This is the code of the Jinlan Society's joint contact!

Xiao Gu's eyes looked around vigilantly, and then he walked in without hesitation and knocked on the door.

"Who's that?"

It was a middle-aged man's voice that replied softly through the door.

Xiao Gu stood in front of the door and asked skillfully and calmly, "Is it Boss Jin?" I have a white and red leather goods to sell. ”

"No, the contemptible surname is Blue."

"Maybe my relative is wrong—but the gentleman is here to collect the goods?"

"I need three silver fox skins, four flawless mink skins."

"I have two of them, which were handed down by my grandmother, how many do you think?"

"It's hard to change."

With all the joint code words, the door finally opened, and a white and rich middle-aged businessman let Xiao Gu in, and as soon as he closed the door, he reached the ground.

"Twelve mothers, forgive me, the survey along the way is tight, I'm late."

"It doesn't matter, after all, this is a military workshop attached to the Beijing camp, although it is not a military location, it is also closely inspected."

Xiao Gu stared at his package, and saw that the sample of the white fox tucked fur in it was as good as the nitrate pot powder, and it looked flawless, so he nodded with satisfaction.

"I'm going to do a big thing when I call you this time."

A sneer appeared on Xiao Gu's beautiful lips, and his eyes were crystal intimidating, "I want to rescue all the sinners of the army!" ”

"This ......!"

Even if he knew that this Twelve Niang's methods were extraordinary, the businessman surnamed Gao was also taken aback, "In the Beijing camp, the family members of Jianwen's former ministers were demoted to military prostitutes and slaves, and they were made fun of by others - I must not sit idly by and watch this kind of tragedy again!" If this kind of thing can't even be solved, how can we Jinlan get everyone's trust?! ”

Xiao Gu's voice is not big, but it is full of resolute refusal!

"You are familiar with business here, and the relationship between the top and bottom can be connected, and this operation needs your cooperation. After the deed is completed, you will change from a rich businessman to a fugitive, and you will no longer be able to enjoy wealth and comfort, are you willing to do it? ”

The high boss laughed miserably, and his voice was terrible and weird, "Because of the case involving Jianwen's old ministers, my own brothers and nephews were cut in half, and such a small child, only half of his body was wallowing in the soil, and he stretched out his hand as if he was asking me for help...... For so many years, I dreamed about this scene every night and every night. I became the son-in-law of a rich man, and I made tens of thousands of fortunes in so much - but what is the use, my whole family is dead! ”

Xiao Gu nodded silently, and wanted to officially say Ji Lu, but he heard someone knocking on the door outside, and it was very clear in the silent dark night-"Is it Boss Jin?" I have a white and red leather goods to sell. ”

It's exactly the same connector codeword!

How is this possible!

Xiao Gu was shocked on the spot.
