"Then look, how about this mansion of my family? In your opinion, is the silver taels that your uncle earned enough to buy my family's mansion and land? ”

Listening to Mrs. Murong's words, Bai Jiaojiao faintly understood what the other party meant. It should be indirectly telling her that her uncle has a luxurious mansion in the land of Shengjun, and there are many fields.

"So, my uncle is in Sheng County, and there are ...... Someone else accompanied? Bai Jiaojiao couldn't figure it out, her uncle was a person who was away all the year round, did she need to find so many outer rooms?

Although the Murong family's mansion is not in Shengcheng, this mansion is spacious, and the courtyard is very exquisite, with rockeries and ponds, as well as gardens.

Near the pond, there is also a large bamboo forest.

The room she stayed in was deep in the bamboo forest. Whether you stay here during the day or at night, it's very quiet.

On the outskirts of the Imperial City, she only found that Shi Ye's mansion was not bad. There is a large lake near Shi Ye's mansion, there is also a field, there are many medicinal herbs planted, and there is also a bamboo forest.

The person who can own such a luxurious mansion must be the princes and nobles of the Dajing Dynasty, or some hermit who is knowledgeable and has accumulated a lot of money in his ancestors.

If ordinary people want to have such a house, I am afraid it is difficult.

What's more, after she walked into the Murong Mansion, she also paid attention to it. The furniture in this room is antique, although Mrs. Murong is not wearing too gorgeous clothes, nor is she wearing a few jewelry, but the maids of the Murong family are all dressed exquisitely.

Presumably, the master of the Murong family is either a general who has made military exploits, or a certain noble son in the land of Nansheng.

When Mrs. Murong heard this, she felt that Bai Jiaojiao's question was quite vague, and she could understand Bai Jiaojiao very much. After all, Bai Jiaojiao has not yet come out of the cabinet, and there are some words that cannot be asked. Gan Shi also replied quite tactfully: "You are wrong, white girl." Someone gave your uncle a lot of land and built him a luxurious mansion, which was built in Nanjun. Your uncle hasn't mentioned this to you all these years? ”

"Not really." Bai Jiaojiao shook her head helplessly.

Over the years, she sometimes heard her aunt arguing with her uncle, and she would mention that her uncle had other women outside. But she remembered very clearly that when her aunt quarreled with her uncle, she did not mention that her uncle had a mansion and a property in Nan County.

I don't know if my aunt really didn't know about it, or did she know it but pretended not to know?

My aunt is from Sheng County, and she is also a fellow villager with Mrs. Murong Qin.

Mrs. Murong knew about this, presumably the relatives of her aunt's maiden family should have heard about it too, right? However, how could the aunt not mention this matter when she quarreled with her uncle?

She really couldn't figure it out.

Mrs. Murong saw that Bai Jiaojiao's eyes flashed with doubt, and said, "I also listened to your Uncle Murong about these things after he returned from Northern Xinjiang. Presumably your aunt should not know about this. Your father should not know either. ”

Bai Jiaojiao looked at Mrs. Murong with a sincere face and said, "My father is away all the year round, and although he is often with his uncle, he may not know what his uncle has done. My uncle is not a man of any duty, and many people know this. ”

"That's it." A trace of disdain flashed in Mrs. Murong's eyes, and she said, "Your uncle and your father are both the sons of Old General Bai. But your uncle can't compare to your father. Let's not talk about anything else, just talk about character, your uncle's character is very bad. ”

Hearing this, Bai Jiaojiao nodded again and again, "That's true." ”

"Your uncle has a mansion in Nan County, and the matter of having land and property is all about the Ten Princes after you healed him, and asked a secret agent around him to inquire about it

Cease. ”

Mrs. Murong said, took out a silk handkerchief, and put it in Bai Jiaojiao's hand.

"This silk handkerchief is embroidered with a map, and the part outlined in golden silk thread is the location of your uncle's mansion in Nan County. If you're interested, you can check it out when you need to. ”

Bai Jiaojiao gritted her teeth, "I'm definitely going to see it." ”

In any case, she had to think of a way to see what treasures her uncle had hidden in that mansion.

"Well, you'd better go over and check it out sooner. If you go late, I'm afraid that someone will take advantage of your uncle's absence and remove all the valuable items inside. Mrs. Murong felt a little sympathetic to Bai Jiaojiao, thought for a while, and then said: "For example, those antidote pills made by your mother when she was alive, as well as some of your mother's jewelry......

"What?" Bai Jiao's squeamish eyes were full of gold stars, and she almost tore the silk handkerchief in her hand.

But he still tried his best to calm himself down and told himself, if he didn't have this silk handkerchief, how would he find that scumbag's mansion?

Bai Jiaojiao looked at the map embroidered on the silk handkerchief by the light of the lantern, and soon remembered the location of the mansion in her mind.

So he returned the silk to Mrs. Murong, "I have already memorized the location marked on the map." The map embroidered on this silk handkerchief is very clear, and the embroidery is good, so I won't take it with me. ”

Madam Murong faintly sniffed a little sour, not only snickered, but said, "White girl, don't you think that the map on this silk handkerchief is from which woman?" ”

"Or else?" Bai Jiaojiao's eyes flashed with jealousy, and she asked unwillingly.

If it wasn't embroidered by a woman, could it be a man?

Is it possible?

Mrs. Murong hid her face with her sleeves and smiled softly, "Haha." Then he asked: "Didn't you hear the Tenth Prince tell you that the secret agent beside him was not only a doctor, but also proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and could also do some needlework?" ”

Bai Jiaojiao looked stunned, "There is such a thing?" ”

Mrs. Murong saw that Bai Jiaojiao couldn't believe it, and inevitably wanted to laugh again, but she forcibly held back her laughter and said, "That person's name is Yun Wuxin, and he is even more bewitching than many beauties. In other words, he has the appearance of a dragon. His countenance, in his prime, made him better

When the beauties saw it, they all felt ashamed. ”

As soon as she heard this, Bai Jiaojiao couldn't help but have a terrible thought flashing in her mind:

There is such a secret agent as Yun Wuxin, by the side of the Ten Princes, the Ten Princes are afraid that sooner or later they will have Longyang I?

"What's wrong with you, White Girl?" Mrs. Murong saw that Bai Jiaojiao was stunned in place, and hurriedly stretched out her hand to shake it in front of Bai Jiaojiao's eyes, and asked.

Bai Jiaojiao took a while to find her voice, "No, not much." ”

"Do you think that the Ten Princes are ...... with him" Mrs. Murong was very helpless, and there were some things that she asked directly, and she didn't listen to them. But if the question is too tactful, she will be worried, afraid that Jiaojiao will not understand.

Bai Jiaojiao faintly heard the meaning of the words, neither admitted nor denied it, and blushed slightly with shame.

In fact, even if the Ten Princes have such a hobby, it is their own business, and it has nothing to do with others. But she didn't know why, after hearing Yun Wuxin's name, she felt a little repulsed inexplicably.

This kind of emotion, Bai Jiaojiao spent about half a cup of tea to suppress it.

But in an instant, she suddenly thought of one thing, that is, what Zhou Shiling and Lu Jue had told her. It is said that when the Ten Princes were in Northern Xinjiang, there was once a woman in red who went to the Tenth Prince's cowhide tent in the middle of the night.

And in the cowhide tent of the ten princes, he stayed for more than an hour.

After Tianqi the next day, her father, as well as General Shentu, went to ask His Royal Highness the Tenth Prince: Who was the person who went to his cowhide tent last night?

His Royal Highness the Ten Princes didn't say anything.

Later, the emperor also learned about that incident and felt very resentful of some of the practices of the ten princes. If it weren't for the Prime Minister and others to intercede for the Ten Princes, I am afraid that the Ten Princes would not have been allowed to go to Northern Xinjiang for training.

Bai Jiaojiao thought of that incident, combined with the Yun Wuxin mentioned by Mrs. Murong, and faintly understood something. I told Mrs. Murong about it

Finish.

After hearing this, Mrs. Murong said, "Miss Bai, you also told your aunt about such an important matter, and your aunt was very happy. Auntie is honored to have your trust. You're right, the person who went to see His Royal Highness the Tenth Prince that night was his secret agent, Yun Wuxin, not a strange woman......"

Bai Jiaojiao smiled embarrassedly.

Mrs. Murong said: "Actually, my aunt has already learned the exact news, and His Royal Highness the Tenth Prince has indeed been imprisoned by the emperor. That incident happened just before the county lord returned from the northern frontier. ”

"How did you find out about that?" Bai Jiaojiao asked suspiciously.

It's not good to ask directly, is it Su Xi's adoptive father, Prime Minister Zhou wrote to tell them.

"I received a letter from the Prime Minister to your Uncle Murong, although it was very short and vague, I understood what he wanted to express. As soon as your Uncle Murong comes back, I will show him the letter. ”

"Your Uncle Murong said that after the county lord Lingyan took a group of people and sent some grain and grass to the northern Xinjiang, he did not return to Sheng County, but went directly to the imperial city."

Hearing this, Bai Jiaojiao nodded knowingly.

I knew in my heart that if the county lord of Lingyan did this, he must have rushed to the imperial city to help His Royal Highness the Ten Princes.

Mrs. Murong saw that Bai Jiaojiao could understand this, and a trace of relief flashed in her eyes, and she said: "Because the county lord lived in the palace and was raised by your aunt, Empress Dowager Bai. The county lord met the emperor when she was very young, and knew what the emperor thought when he sent the ten princes to the northern frontier. ”

"The county lord said that His Royal Highness the Ten Princes is the only descendant left by her uncles in this world. As the niece of her uncle and the cousin of the Ten Princes, she cannot be indifferent to the Ten Princes. ”

"She must go to the imperial city and ask the emperor why she can't treat his only prince well? Can't be kind to her poor cousin's child? Can't be good

Waiting for ......"

The words that were omitted by Mrs. Murong were quickly filled in by Bai Jiaojiao in her mind.

"Why can't you be kind...... The people of the entire Nan Sheng Ji clan? ”

You must know that the grandfather of the Ten Princes also died very unjustly.

Mrs. Murong looked in the direction where the imperial city was located, her eyes were dark, and the corners of her lips hooked up a bitter arc, and said: "The county lord has gone to the imperial city to save the ten princes, our Murong family has been friends with the Ji family for generations, your Uncle Murong is still the apprentice of the county lord's eldest uncle, and he is one of the soldiers of the Ji family's army." ”

"Now, the county lord has taken a group of people to the imperial city, and your Uncle Murong also wants to bring some people over to help the county lord. In order to repay the elders of the Ten Princes, their great kindness to the people of our Murong family. ”

Bai Jiaojiao listened, in addition to thanking Uncle Murong and them in her heart, she also felt worried about them in her heart. After all, it is difficult to predict whether they will go to the imperial city this time. I can only wish them from the bottom of my heart: "May Uncle Murong and them go to the imperial city, everything goes well, and they return safely as soon as possible." ”

Mrs. Murong said gratefully, "Thank you." ”

Bai Jiaojiao wanted to say that she didn't have to be polite, because after she came to Murong Mansion, she didn't say anything polite to Mrs. Murong. But at this moment, Mrs. Murong's question came from her ears: "Miss Bai, I don't know if you have heard of General Murong when you were in the Imperial City?" ”
