Chapter 124: Xishan Lake
When Guo Ran followed Qiao Pre and Guo Ran's side, Guo Ran mentioned many times that he was worried about the people who became a family and worried about him, so he reminded him slightly, even if the eldest princess can't go to Xishan tomorrow, the eldest princess's mansion will probably send someone to take Qiao Pre back to Handu, as long as there is a signboard of the eldest princess's mansion in Shaoyang, even if those people see Guo Ran, they won't do it, after all, no one wants to go to death, and no one knows the prestige of Qiao's son.
"Thank you Gongzi for saving his life, if there is no Gongzi to act in time, Guo Ran will only be a corpse now, and what is the mother's ambition to report his own, Gongzi's words today, Guo Ran is deeply touched, if he is destined for the future, he will definitely not get drunk with Gongzi." After listening to Twilight's persuasion and insights, Guo Ran admired him in every way, and he was willing to make such a friend, as long as Twilight did not dislike his background.
Twilight nodded and bowed to Guo Ran and disappeared into the night, seeing that Guo Ran didn't see how he left clearly, but the admiration in his heart was even greater, and he was proud to know such a friend, and hoped that he would meet in the future as Twilight said.
Looking at the direction where there was no trace, Guo Ran pondered for a moment and left this place that he would never forget, quietly returned to the courtyard where he lived, and was a little relieved to see that Qiao Pre's house did not move at all, it seems that Qiao Pre has not woken up yet, so there is no need to explain again, and he opened the door lightly and slept in his clothes, he really didn't want to toss anymore, anyway, the time was not early.
Guo Ran tossed and turned in bed all night, he didn't feel sleepy at all, his mind was full of the words that Duxi said to him, he must have known the cause of his mother's death, and said that he could only ruin a ginger tea with great effort, could it be that the rest of the Guo family was involved, but who was it, mentioning the old lady's side Mama Yue, maybe the old lady was also involved in that incident, Jiang Cha was a member of her Jiang family, and she was her niece and nephew.
Until the sky was bright, Guo Ran had not slept yet, and he put down the affairs of the Guo family for the time being, after all, the mysterious person who prevented him from leaving the house had already pointed out the direction for himself, as long as he was attentive, he would definitely be able to figure out the hidden truth, what Guo Ran couldn't understand the most was that person seemed to have a special understanding of himself and the Guo family, and even those secret things that he didn't know knew clearly, and why did he stop himself at a critical moment, even the situation in Jin Guo was clearly analyzed.
Guo Ran's behavior last night was not only known by Dusk Xi, but also the housekeeper of the Xishan Courtyard was also well aware, if it wasn't for Dusk Xi's move, Guo Ran might not be able to get out of the house, Qiao pre-ordered the people to take care of, how could Qiao Bao allow Guo Ran to have an accident, and Guo Ran is still her son, so he will naturally do his best to protect him, and will never let him act recklessly.
After Qiao got up, he saw Guo Ran sitting alone in the courtyard, approached and patted Guo Ran's shoulder and said, "Old Guo, why did you get up so early, you called me directly in the courtyard, as soon as I heard your voice, I must have woken up." ”
Guo Ran was recalling what happened last night, and was really frightened by Qiao Pre so hard, turned around and looked at Qiao Pre with a little horror, and said after a long time: "I also just got up, you were tired yesterday, I think you should rest more, there is nothing to do, it is also very good to see the scenery in this courtyard, I didn't call you, and you didn't wake up late." ”
Guo Ran's words happened to be heard by Qiao Bao, who was willing to ask Qiao Pre when he would set up breakfast, he naturally knew when Guo Ran was sleeping, but he glanced at Guo Ran quietly, and was not ready to tell Qiao Pre what he knew, Guo Ran should be unwilling to let Qiao Pre know about this matter, so I am afraid it will hurt the friendship between their friends, Qiao Bao still thinks about it for a long time.
"Fourth son, Guo Gongzi, the breakfast has been prepared in the small kitchen, I don't know when it will be placed?" Qiao Bao knows that Qiao is so hot, if he is a little unsatisfactory, he will be angry, and the things and things related to him will be asked one by one, Qiao Bao has suffered a lot of losses in this regard, the so-called eating a trench and growing a wisdom, Qiao Bao will not rely on his own ideas to do it casually.
"It's all right, of course, it's only now, is there any other choice?" Qiao Yu stared at Qiao Bao up and down with idiotic eyes, thinking about why he didn't see this Uncle Bao all night, why did he have a bad brain, and he didn't think about himself at all.
Qiao Bao was looked at by Qiao Pre like that, and he felt uncomfortable all over his body, especially when he saw Qiao Pre looking at him, he was even more unclear in his heart, didn't he just ask a word? If you were serving someone else, you wouldn't have asked for his opinion on everything.
"Yes, the old slave will do it, and let people set the meal immediately."
Qiao Bao immediately retreated after replying, thinking that it was better to leave quickly, lest there be something to tell him when the time comes, Qiao Yu thinks about one thing, it is better for him to stay away from him, every year when he arrives at the Xishan Courtyard, his old bones seem to be about to fall apart.
"Go, go, hurry, or the food will be cold." Qiao saw that Qiao Bao was about to walk outside the courtyard, and immediately asked loudly.
"Lao Guo, I'll take you to Houshan to fish after dinner, today's lunch will use the fish we fished, all the fish in the mountain and lake in Houshan Mountain are not seen on the market, the taste is really good, I have to come to eat every year, Uncle Bao, they will send some to the mansion of the eldest princess of Shaoyang when the year is over, if you like it, I will ask the housekeeper to send you some to Chengfu when the time comes." Qiao Pre has already arranged this morning's time to the full, he thought of the third watch in the middle of the night last night, he is most familiar with this Xishan, but Uncle Twilight ordered not to go out of the Xishan Courtyard, Qiao Pre This is like a lion with its claws plucked, he can't do anything, he could have taken Guo Ran to wander in Xishan, but this idea was eradicated by Uncle Twilight before it germinated.
Can't go out of the yard, Qiao thought of it in the middle of the night before deciding to take Guo Ran to Xishan Lake to fish, Xishan Lake is surrounded in the courtyard, although it is relatively remote, but there should be no problem, anyway, there is no out of the Xishan Courtyard, it is really good to let Guo Ran taste the fresh and tender fish in Xishan Lake, he is the most hospitable person, naturally let him taste the masterpiece that Guo Ran has not eaten.
"This is absolutely impossible, no merit is not lost, Guo Ran has already tasted a taste that is rare in the world, how can he be embarrassed to accept the fish of your mansion, Qiao Pre, it is better not to be like this." Guo Ran immediately refused, not that he didn't regard Qiao Pre as a friend, but that the gap between Chengfu and Shaoyang Eldest Princess Mansion was too big to bear such a heavy courtesy, and there was no intersection between the two mansions, except for himself who had just met Qiao Pre.
Qiao Pre heard Guo Ran's refusal, and said a little impatiently: "Why not, you are my good friend of Qiao Pre, and you are also the person I decided to cover, I said that I will send you a little, and I will also send it there in July." ”
"Thank you very much." Guo Ran had already developed an elegant demeanor, and when he heard Qiao Zhen's stubborn reluctance to agree to his suggestion, he still saluted and thanked him.
Qiao pre-cursed his mouth and squinted his eyes and said: "You have to change your crepe temperament, this is not good, others will always bully you when they see you being a bully, and when you follow me in the future, learn from me, and ensure that the Jiang family will only tremble when they see you." ”
"Then Guo Ran is waiting to learn how powerful you are, and see if it can really make people frightened." With Qiao Pre's gag, Guo Ran's mood gradually became clearer, and if he couldn't figure it out, he wouldn't think about it, one day all the mysteries would be solved one by one, and now the top priority is to start investigating the Yue Mama and Jiang Cha mentioned by the mysterious person after returning home tomorrow, thinking that the two of them are also very suspicious, more than ten years ago, soon after his mother passed away, they returned to their hometowns one after another, and now it seems that they should be hidden, they should know a lot of secrets, but they don't know if they are still alive?
Qiao pre listened to Guo Ran's words, his heart was very happy, and he put his arm on Guo Ran's shoulder and said: "That's right, what's polite to me, you have to be like this in the future, otherwise I won't follow, when we go back to Handu, I'll give you a post, let's get together, and I'll also introduce you to some of my friends, all of whom are the same people as me, you should be able to see it." ”
Just as Qiao Pre and Guo Ran were talking, Qiao Bao had already laid out the breakfast prepared in the dining room one by one, and then he retreated directly, leaving only the maid and chef who were waiting with him, but he knew Qiao Pre's habits when eating, and there were too many words, either disgusting or disgusting.
Sure enough, Qiao Zhen, who hadn't moved the chopsticks yet, squinted at the dish and said to Guo Ran with a pouting and a slight disgust: "Old Guo, look at this porridge, what it looks like, you lose your appetite when you look at it, you must not drink this, it doesn't look like a human eater." ”
After listening to Qiao Pre's words, Guo Ran inadvertently quietly put down the porridge in his hand, what he was holding in his hand happened to be the porridge that Qiao Pre was not eating in his mouth, in fact, he had already tasted it, and it tasted good, but he didn't know how Qiao Pre could see that it was not delicious, and he also gave himself the evaluation that he couldn't put it in his mouth anymore.
"Okay, I will." Seeing that Qiao Pre had been looking at him intently, Guo Ran had no choice but to express his determination to Qiao Pre with a little embarrassment.
If Qiao pre-invites him to eat in the future, he will probably panic, yesterday I didn't find that Qiao pre-ate was so difficult to serve, and it was a chatter, not only that, Qiao pre-was not talking to himself, Qiao pre-was talking to you, but if there was a sentence that did not answer him in time, Qiao pre-would keep staring at you until you answered his words, and Guo Ran was a little nervous.
In the midst of Qiao Pre's scolding and infinite questions, Guo Ran finished eating tremblingly, and he was even more impressed by Qiao Pre in his heart, he felt that if anyone offended Qiao Pre, Qiao Pre only needed to pull that person to eat a meal, and the spittle Xingzi could drown that person.
"Qiao Pre, the eldest prince of Shaoyang is going back to Beijing, right?" Guo Ran thought that the mysterious person said last night that someone would come to pick him up in the next two days, but he thought about it for a long time, what could happen to pick up Qiao Zhen to return to Beijing, and his grandfather said not long ago that it was time for the eldest princess of Shaoyang to return to Beijing, presumably Qiao Zhen must have known the news, so he asked directly.
Qiao Yu looked at Guo Ran with a surprised expression, then looked left and right and came to Guo Ran and said, "How do you know that my mother is coming back, is there a rumor in the rare capital?" I just didn't go out for two days, has it changed so much? It's getting out of pace. ”
"No, it's my grandfather who mentioned that it's time for the eldest princess of Shaoyang to return to Beijing, so I thought to ask you to see if my grandfather guessed right." Guo Ran listened to Qiao Yu's words and immediately explained, for fear that Guo Ran would think that it was rumors among the rare capitals.
"Oh, I see, you can go back and tell your grandfather clearly, my mother is indeed going back to Beijing, just these two days, when my mother holds a banquet, I will give you a few posts, take your cousins and cousins, my mother admires Chengshan Chang the most on weekdays, if you can invite him to the old man, my mother will definitely feel full of glory and gratification, maybe she will praise me." Qiao Pre felt that Guo Ran was not an outsider, so he told him the news that the eldest princess of Shaoyang was about to return to Beijing, which was not a big deal in Qiao Pre's heart, since Guo Ran was curious, it was okay to tell him, and by the way, the bureau of the flower viewing banquet had been arranged.
What Qiao Yu said is indeed the truth, in the entire Jin Kingdom, the person most respected by the eldest princess of Shaoyang is Chengshanchang, she and Guo Ran befriended, she will definitely not object, but will support it vigorously, if she can invite Chengshanchang to come to the door as a guest, she will definitely make a profit.
"Thank you." Guo Ran said lightly, since Qiao said that there was no need for those false courtesies between them, he had to do so after being dumped a few times.
Twilight Xi listened to what Guo Ran said about his grandfather, and that sentence deeply attracted his attention, 'The eldest princess of Shaoyang should be the time to return to Beijing', if there is someone around the eldest princess of Shaoyang, Duxi will not believe it, the eldest princess of Shaoyang only has her own people around her, and the rest are dead, but the person who can say such a sentence can be said to know the current situation of Jin Guo well, and I only hope that one day Guo Ran can pull in the relationship between the princess and Cheng Shanchang, Cheng Shanchang is definitely a talented person.
After breakfast, Qiao Pre took Guo Ran and turned around and left the yard, they were going to Xishan Lake to fish, so naturally they needed to hurry up, otherwise there were no materials for lunch at noon today, Qiao Pre put down his words, he would eat the fish he caught at noon today, and he must not slap himself in the face.
"Uncle Bao, bring me all my fishing tools, and bring some top masters, I want to see who dares to disturb Lao Tzu fishing, if anyone is so eyeless, Lao Tzu will slaughter him and feed the fish directly." Qiao pre-ordered to take Guo Ran to the remote Xishan Lake, so he naturally had to make preparations and ensure absolute safety, so he ordered Qiao Bao to prepare.
"Yes, Childe, the old slave must have arranged it for you." Qiao Bao glanced at Guo Ran quietly, knowing that Qiao was going to bring a secret guard for Guo Ran, this courtyard was also in Xishan, although it was one east and one west, far away, but he knew that he had heard some rumors too much.
The two of them went to Xishan Lake with a mighty group of people, and Twilight naturally followed behind, Twilight West seemed to leave when she saw the guards of the Xishan Courtyard, but July gave a death order, and he must follow Qiao Yu every step of the way, until he returned to the mansion of the eldest princess of Shaoyang.
……
Prince Mu's mansion has not slept all night, since he left in July, he has been sitting quietly under the south window, no one knows what he is thinking, even if the sky is bright, the dazzling sunlight shines directly on his eyes to have a little reaction.
"Lord, it's time for breakfast." Leng He softly opened his mouth to remind Leng Twilight, Leng Twilight didn't sleep all night last night, Leng He kept watch outside the window all night, he originally wanted to persuade Leng Twilight to let go, but thinking about the conversation between the two last night, Leng He swallowed back the words of comfort on his lips.
"Bring it up." Leng Twilight retracted his contemplation, it was time to cheer up, since he had decided that he didn't want to let go, he had to rely on his own means and calculations to fight with Leng Yang, and it was time to start the game and the chess that should be set.
Hearing Leng Dui's reply, Leng He's heart was a little calmer, and he didn't hurry to bring Leng Dui's breakfast, which was actually a bowl of porridge, to Leng Dui, and then stood motionless beside Leng Dui, without saying a word, just watching Leng Dui slowly drink the bowl of porridge.
Leng Dusk saw the bottom of the matter directly, and gently put down the bowl and said, "What happened to Handu Ke yesterday, where is my aunt?" ”
"There was a murderous business in Xishan, but he escaped, and now he is in the Xishan Villa with Qiao Pre It is a very leisurely and chic day, Jing Zhaoyin should get the news soon, it seems to be the handiwork of Princess Xiaoyang of Qingyuetai, the person who was hunted down is Guo Ran of the Guo family, there are secret guards by his side, it should be sent by Princess Xiaoyang, but Qiao pre-appeared too coincidentally, I don't know if it is the arrangement of Princess Xiaoyang." The rest of Leng He is not bad, but Qiao Pre has never listened to other people's orders, if Qiao Pre really acted according to Princess Xiaoyang's intentions, then the matter would be interesting, the Guo family's affairs have Qiao Pre's intervention, and there is Princess Xiaoyang's guidance behind it, the Guo family is a big deal this time, Jiang Cha is more than worth the loss this time, and he has lost a lot of money, not to mention Guo Ran's head, even if he can't see a single hair.
"Jiang's hand?" The only people in the Guo family who can't tolerate Guo Ran should be Jiang Cha and Guo Rongtao, but Guo Rongtao can't do anything to hire a murderer, so there is only the sinister and cunning Jiang family, and the woman's heart is needle-dropping, and I don't know how Jiang's heart grows.
"Yes" Leng He has already found out about Jiang Cha's body, but there is no direct evidence, and Jiang Cha's woman not only hired a group of people, but several batches, and she was determined to kill Guo Ran, but she had already guessed it by July.
"It seems that July really fell in love with Guo Ran, so it's okay, Guo Ran also has shelter, and July also got a talented person, and Qiao pre-Guo Ran represents Chengfu behind him, and Chengfu's connections are fragrant in the eyes of all those who have the heart to win the heir, and it is also a good thing to receive it in July." Leng Twilight knew that she had taken a fancy to Guo Ran when she went to settle down beside her in July, and Guo Ran now probably has no choice but to choose the camp of July, and the people of the Guo family will block all Guo Ran's back roads and make him have no way back.
Leng He quietly closed his mouth, he knew what Guo Ran represented behind him, remembering that the prince had said before that he couldn't subdue Guo Ran, it was better to fall into the hands of Princess Xiaoyang, after all, everyone was an acquaintance every time.
"How is my aunt doing, when will I be able to return to Beijing?" The eldest princess of Shaoyang supports Leng Dui, not only because she has more confidence in Leng Dui, but also because Leng Dui is her brother's most beloved son, without one, the eldest princess of Shaoyang has been gone for half a year, and it is time to come back.
Leng He heard Leng Dui ask about the eldest princess of Shaoyang, and broke out in a cold sweat, fortunately he had just received the news of the eldest princess of Shaoyang, otherwise he would still be embarrassed if he didn't know, and his heart was pounding with fright.
"Back to the prince, the eldest princess of Shaoyang has already arrived in the suburbs, and it is estimated that she will be able to return to Beijing tomorrow, and everything in the mansion of the eldest princess of Shaoyang is already being prepared." Leng He told the truth about the news about the eldest princess of Shaoyang that he received early this morning.
Leng Du was silent for a long time, he was thinking, what should the eldest princess of Shaoyang do after returning to the house, by that time the emperor may have time to care about himself, and July will cause him something unsolvable at any time.
"It's good that my aunt is back, the situation in Handu is about to move." Leng Twilight was a little sad, his feelings for the eldest princess of Shaoyang can be said to be like a mother, the eldest princess of Shaoyang gave him the affection and kindness that the Empress Dowager Cao did not give him, and now that the eldest princess of Shaoyang has returned to Beijing, Leng Dui is naturally happy, and he also knows what the eldest princess of Shaoyang is doing this trip, and it is already a blessing to be able to come back safely.
When the first emperor died mysteriously, Leng Yang quickly ascended the throne in the shortest possible time by virtue of the position of the crown prince, and even the empress dowager and the eldest princess had not reacted, and then in order to suppress Leng Yang's growth, the empress dowager decided to listen to the government and control the court situation, so that Leng Yang did not have the slightest chance to contact state secrets. The Empress Dowager and the eldest princess of Shaoyang have always thought that the death of the first emperor was related to Leng Yang, and after checking for so many years, they only know a little clue about it, they did it too cleanly back then.
"Lord, then we ......" Handu has recently undergone very different changes, from Princess Xiaoyang to Jin Kingdom, Jin Kingdom has not stopped, and the turmoil in Jin Country should be set off by Princess Xiaoyang. She has offended too many people in Khandu.
"It's okay, wait and see, everything is as usual, and everything will change with the same, but there can be more people in Jin Bei, and there will definitely be big things happening in Jin Bei." Leng Du attaches great importance to Jin Bei, not only is the family of Uncle Ning Siye in July still guarding Jin Bei, but also Jin Bei is a military important place, where there is a lot of turmoil, I always feel that there is some conspiracy there, but I can't guess the deep meaning for the time being.
