Passing through the side door, there was a room with the same layout as in the wing, but it was empty, and Baihua walked to the inside of the bed on the north side, reached out and touched it, and opened a secret door on the wall.

Xu You looked around, and inside the secret door was a narrow passage that only allowed one person to pass through, sandwiched between the front and back of the two houses, dark and gloomy, with no end in sight, and I didn't know where it led. Those who don't know still think that these two houses are close to each other, but they don't know that there is a hole inside.

"Why are you standing stupidly, let's go!"

Baihua beckoned Xu You to follow her in, Xu You smiled bitterly: "If it is a secret room, I would still avoid suspicion......

"It's okay, many people in the house here know it, just for seclusion, but not for people!"

Baihua came over and grabbed Xu You's hand At this moment, a person walked out of the dark passage, but it was Qianqin who came out of it, and when he saw Xu You standing in front of him, he was shocked, and then he saw Baihua holding Xu You's hand, his eyebrows swelled with annoyance, and said, "What are you doing?" ”

Baihua Gege smiled: "Xu Langjun has something to ask you, so I brought him here." ”

"Nonsense!" Qianqin closed the secret door with her backhand and walked towards the lobby without saying a word. Baihua stuck out his tongue, pulled Xu You behind her, and said, "Sister, where are you going, Xu Langjun has a friend in Jinling, and he hasn't heard from him for many years......"

Before the words fell, Qianqin turned around violently and said, "Do you know what the situation is now?" Lord Lang is nowhere to be found, the enemy is eyeing him, Madame has not rested for three days, everyone is working hard, what about you, what are you doing all day? ”

Baihua shrugged, didn't take it to heart at all, and said, "I'm cheering for everyone who laughs......"

Qianqin rolled her eyes, she really couldn't do anything with this girl, she turned around and walked two steps, then turned back to Xu You and said: "Xu Langjun, Baihua is young and ignorant, and you love to mess around, you are a well-known figure in Jiangdong, why bother playing with her little lady?" If you have something in the future, please go to Madame to discuss, we are just lowly maids, and we dare not bother to ask Lang Jun. ”

Xu You was really unreasonable, and said with a smile: "Thank you for your advice!" But you are wrong, I am friends with Baihua, and friends have the meaning of helping each other, she wants to help me, I will remember, why play any tricks? ”

He said lightly: "Maybe Xiaoniang has never had a friend and doesn't understand this simple truth." Don't worry, I won't blame you! ”

"You!"

Qianqin's willow eyebrows were upside down, and he said: "The man's husband, but he is a little woman with me, how much more can he produce?" ”

"As a woman, but you look down on women, your output is really big enough!" Xu You smiled slightly: "Qianqin, let me teach you a word, women have never been inferior to their eyebrows, and women can hold up half the sky!" ”

"Well said!"

Zhan Wenjun's clear and handsome voice sounded at the side door, Xu You turned around to look, she was wearing a white water-rippled cardigan skirt, a black leather belt with plum blossoms as a buckle around her waist, a pale yellow brocade crotch was worn on the outside of the skirt, her hair was not in a bun, she was combed behind her head like a man, and a plain hairpin was inserted. The slender legs were not as thrilling as last night, they were quietly hidden in the skirt, losing a little bit of heroism, but they were more beautiful.

"A woman can hold up half the sky...... Xu Langjun, although I don't have a wide range of knowledge, but my uncle has also heard a lot of anecdotes about Jiangdong's talents, they are full of knowledge, full of cars, and they are all the pillars of today. But I don't think they can make poems like Lang Jun. ”

Xu You Shili said: "Madame praises falsely, nonsense, unwritten, unrhymed, where is the poem?" ”

Zhan Wenjun ran around outside for a day, not only did he not look tired, but he was full of energy, and his jade-like face was as clear as if he had just come out of the water, without the slightest wind and dust. She smiled, didn't continue the topic, her eyes fell on Qianqin, and said, "Why are you arguing with Xu Langjun for something?" ”

Qianqin told the whole story, but she didn't say anything bad about the hundred paintings, but just said: "The boat pavilion is an important place in the house, and outsiders are not allowed to enter and exit when they are idle, I am in a hurry, and I am rude to speak, please punish Mrs." ”

Zhan Wenjun nodded and said, "Xu Langjun, this secret room was originally for self-defense in a critical time. Later, when my uncle had an accident, I moved the ship's pavilion, which was responsible for collecting information from the north and south, to this place, and there was a strict order that I was not allowed to enter and leave at will. Qianqin didn't mean to stop you, I hope you forgive me! ”

Xu You hurriedly said: "Words are serious! I didn't know it beforehand, so I was a little reckless. Rest assured, Madame, I will not say a word about this place! ”

A few people came out of the side room, came to the hall, and sat down with the guests. Zhan Wenjun said: "Qianqin, that is, He Langjun's friend, then send an order to Jinling and inquire carefully." I don't know who this friend's surname is, where he comes from, and where he makes a living? ”

Xu You said: "No need, friends who haven't seen you for many years are not in a hurry." But I still have one more thing I want to trouble Madame! ”

Zhan Wenjun knelt on the futon, his hands folded on his thighs, the folds of the skirt converged into a faintly visible inverted triangle shape under the light pressure of the green jade hands, the waist was straight, and the sharp bamboo shoots on his chest made people can't help but look at it.

"Please!"

Xu You staggered his gaze, although he was mostly appreciative, but in this era, it was inevitable that he would be misunderstood, and said: "Since Madam has a man in Jinling City, can you tell me what major events have happened in the court recently?" ”

Zhan Wenjun didn't ask much, and said to Qianqin: "You talk back!" ”

Qianqin pondered for a moment and said, "It's not a big deal!" ”

Xu You was silent, he didn't trust Qianqin's judgment very much. Because this little lady feels very unreliable, it's really hard to hear.

Xu is seeing Xu You's doubts, Zhan Wenjun didn't say a word, and said, "You go back to the Boat Pavilion and sort out all the information recently, don't miss anything!" ”

Qianqin lowered her head and said, "No! Then he quickly glanced at Xu You and turned around angrily.

"Qianqin is a person who came out of his uncle's own hands, proficient in analyzing and sorting out intelligence, and can often find the most valuable one from the thousands of chaotic and chaotic countless messages, and can string together some seemingly unrelated information to find the truth hidden inside. Kwok and Zhan's business has been able to get to the point it is today, and it is all thanks to this information that they know the prices of grain, oil, silk, silk, paper, ink, and other necessary things for the people in various places, so that they can buy low and sell high, and earn the difference and surplus. ”

Xu You was immediately impressed by Qianqin, Zhan Wenjun had no reason to put gold on her face, and what he said was very credible.

If that's the case, Qianqin is a rare high-tech talent. Because there are many people who can sort out intelligence, but there are very few people who are naturally sensitive to intelligence.

As the saying goes, one white covers three ugliness, and talented people have a little flaw in their personality, which is something that can be endured in Xu You's opinion.

He touched his chin, considering whether to dig up Qianqin for his own use in the future. Poor Zhan Wenjun looked like he was working with his heart and lungs and knowing everything, and he couldn't imagine that Xu You was beating her subordinates.

"By the way, Lang Jun is looking for twenty literate people, and he has already found all of them. It is arranged in the hidden house in Mingyu Mountain, where there are few people and the scenery is quiet, which will definitely make Lang Jun like it. ”

Xu You nodded, and didn't ask Zhan Wenjun if these people were reliable, if she didn't even have this ability, she would be sorry for Guo Mian's attention.

The two chatted for a while, Zhan Wenjun was generous, quite like a man, but his appearance was full of temptation to Xu You, and after a few words, there was a kind of comfort and ease chatting with his confidante in his previous life.

Qianqin reappeared, but her face became a little solemn, and she whispered to Zhan Wenjun's side.

Xu You knew that this was because Qianqin was cautious, and this news must be very important, and she didn't know whether she should let herself know or not, so she whispered to Zhan Wenjun first.

Qianqin stepped aside, Zhan Wenjun's face was calm, and he said to Xu You: "I just received the news that the Inner Government has issued an edict: From now on, the second rate of the East Palace will be abolished!" ”

Xu You's hands tightened, and then let go, lightning flashed and thundered in his mind, and he didn't know how many thoughts he had turned.

He finally knew why Sun Guan wanted to increase the tax on rent and rice money!
