Sitting in the carriage, the two went straight to the construction site.

Jiang Ruanyan asked Jiang Ancestral Hall in the carriage, "Do the forty people randomly selected by the emperor have any labels on them?" ”

"Nope." Jiang Ci shook his head, "But there are painters who have painted portraits of them, and the emperor will use this as a judgment when the time comes, so as to avoid us secretly changing people on the way." ”

Jiang Ruanyan nodded, this is a good way.

"However, the portrait is only available to the emperor, and neither we nor Master Zhang have any portraits of these forty people."

Jiang Ruanyan understood, and then said, "In other words, apart from our own twenty people, we can't tell which ones the other party is, and people like Master Zhang, who hardly come to the construction site, don't know which of our twenty people are at all. ”

"That's right." Jiang Ci nodded affirmatively, and as far as he knew, Master Zhang had not forgotten his ability.

"That's great." Jiang softly cheered.

"Miss, what the hell are we doing here?" Jiang Ci didn't understand, and asked again.

"Do you remember the last time you were poisoned?"

Of course Jiang Ci remembers, but wasn't that what His Highness did? But if you think about it, this Zhang Mingshan is also a member of His Royal Highness, so there is almost no difference.

"I'm going to make a fool of myself this time." Jiang Ruanyan felt perfect when he thought of the plan that had just popped up in his mind.

When he came to the construction site, Jiang Ruanyan quickly called Jiang Qing and Jiang Chen, and without too much explanation, they immediately divided the victims who were working at the construction site into groups, with twenty people each.

The original task remained the same, but they tried to arrange them in the same task in 1 group, Jiang Qing and Jiang Chen didn't know why, but seeing that Jiang Ruanyan was in such a hurry, they didn't dare to delay.

After doing this, Jiang Ruanyan saw that someone was setting up a simple small pavilion next to him, and hurriedly asked Jiang Ci, "What are you doing?" ”

Jiang Ci glanced at it and said, "Miss, that's a simple pavilion that I let people set up, I think if Lord Zhang doesn't send someone to supervise, I will also write an excerpt in the future, and ask the emperor to send someone to supervise." ”

On this construction site, the personnel are so complicated, although it is said that the work of supervision is not easy to do, someone has to do it, otherwise Zhang Mingshan will not have the opportunity to take advantage of the loopholes to play tricks?

Jiang Ruanyan gave him a thumbs up, that was a donation of at least one hundred taels, and he must not let it go easily.

Coming out of the construction site, Jiang Ruanyan did not go home, but went directly to Jiang Shutong's house.

Jiang Shutong, who was busy in the house, suddenly arrived with a visitor.

"Shu Tong, I'm looking for you." As soon as Jiang Ruanyan entered the house, it was like bringing the spring breeze into the house, and the whole house was lively.

"Soft words? What are you doing here? Jiang Shutong was quite surprised when he turned around and saw Jiang Ruanyan.

"I'm here to invite you to live in my house."

"Going to live in your house?" Jiang Ci couldn't believe her ears, she was so big, she hadn't lived with anyone other than her family.

"But soft words, why did you suddenly call me to go?" Jiang Shutong reacted slightly, but it was just such a small favor, Jiang Ruanyan invited her to Jishitang, if it disturbed her, it would be bad.

"Miss can use you, so you can go." At this time, the elderly Mrs. Jiang walked into the house with the help of someone

"Mother." Jiang Shutong hurriedly walked over.

"Miss Jiang came to visit just now, she went to me first, told me about it, and asked me to make an exception and allow you to live with her, this has to be someone else, I definitely don't want to, but Miss Jiang has come to the door in person, what reason do I have to say no?"

The old lady is also reasonable, not to mention, she knows what kind of existence Jiang Ruanyan is for her husband and the Jiang family, so she naturally will not refuse.

"Yes, Shu Tong, you can go with me, my house has been cleaned up for you, and there are a lot of fun things there, you will definitely not be bored."

Jiang Ruanyan leaned close to her ear as she spoke, and whispered, "And Jiang Zhiheng will often go there." ”

Although the volume was small, Mrs. Jiang and Jiang Shutong could hear it clearly.

"Soft words!" Jiang Shutong said shyly, and Mrs. Jiang also smiled.

Although this seems to be unruly in other families, she has also seen with her own eyes that Jiang Ruanyan is not a bad person, she and her daughter look like sisters, what else does she have to worry about?

The most important thing is that she believes that the daughter she taught is measured, so even if Jiang Zhiheng will often go to Jishitang, the old lady is not worried at all.

What is worried is that the eldest son, who has been dizzy, is always in the middle, looking at the two children, Zhiheng and Shu Tong, who are not young, but this eldest brother does not let go.

I'll have to think of some time to take care of this.

"Okay, I won't delay you in packing up your things, if there is anything, send someone back to talk to the family at any time." The old lady explained a few words, and then left.

She just walked out of the house with her front foot, and Jiang Shutong jumped up happily with her back foot, which really startled Jiang Ruanyan.

"Great! Soft words, I haven't been to live alone in another house since I'm so old, it's so funny. Jiang Shutong said, his excited little hands kept swaying.

"Pandan Pandan, come and help me pack my luggage." The personal maid who was called Xianglan hurriedly ran in, with an excited smile on her face.

Looking at the two of them, Jiang Ruanyan couldn't help but laugh as well.

In the carriage, Jiang Shutong asked, "Soft Yan, you want me to come to live at your house, why didn't you tell me when you came back?" You even came to my house for a special trip. ”

"It's all as it should be, I didn't think about it at the time, but then I thought about something and felt that I should leave you behind."

"Then you can send someone over." Jiang Shutong said casually, she didn't think there was anything, anyway, with Jiang Ruanyan's identity in the Jiang family, she gave an order at will, and everyone didn't dare to disobey.

What's more, she went to see me this morning, and she believed that he was a good person, and everyone was willing to obey her command from the bottom of their hearts.

"Come in person, this looks more solemn, don't let your mother think that I called you over to secretly marry you to Jiang Zhiheng." Jiang said softly, with a wicked smile on his face.

After saying this, Jiang Shutong was shy again.

"Gee, you're going to make jokes."

"What's wrong? Don't you want to marry this Jiang Zhiheng? If so, you can tell me directly, don't worry, I'll convey it to you tactfully, so he doesn't have to wait for you......"

Jiang Ruanyan said to himself, and Jiang Shutong here became anxious, "I told you not to talk nonsense!" ”

"Is that willing?" Jiang Ruanyan approached Jiang Shutong's side again, smiling evilly and forcing her to admit it.

"Gee, don't ask if you know." Jiang Shutong's shy appearance made Jiang Ruanyan feel that he had been taught badly by Gu Shenyuan.

Back at Jishitang, Jiang Ruanyan first asked Jiang Shutong to go to her room, and then went to the kitchen, saying that there were new guests staying today, and asked the kitchen to prepare two specialty dishes.

On the other side, in Zhang's mansion, Zhang Mingshan sat in the study and drank tea leisurely, and in the shadows where the candlelight could not be illuminated, there was a man in black standing.

"What did you see today?" Zhang Mingshan asked lazily.

"Answering people's words, after the adults left, Jiang Ruanyan immediately rushed to the construction site and divided all the workers into groups of twenty, which is said to be convenient for arranging work."

Zhang Mingshan disagreed, smiled and put the teacup on the desk.

"This yellow-haired girl, she still wants to give me this trick, doesn't she know that the twenty people under my hand, the emperor has already sent someone to paint the portrait? Does she still expect to secretly replace my people? Insect carving skills! ”

Zhang Mingshan thought that Jiang Ruanyan did this because he wanted to secretly replace his subordinates when he was working, so that after half a month, the people under him would most likely fail to meet the standards.

"My lord, do you need me to deal with it?" The man in the dark said immediately.

"No, let her go, I'd love to see how smart she is." Zhang Mingshan confidently picked up the brush and began to practice calligraphy.

"How about the people I asked you to send to follow?"

"Back to the adult, it has been arranged, after Jiang Ruanyan went to the construction site today, he went to the house of a businessman surnamed Jiang and took their second lady, Jiang Shutong, to Jishitang." The man in the darkness replied respectfully,

"Jiang Shutong? What is the origin of this person? Zhang Mingshan was quite unfamiliar when he heard this name, and he didn't seem to have any impression of this person.

"According to Zaixia's understanding, his father is a businessman who usually does silk trading, and his elder brother Jiang Zhendong is a well-known carpenter, and is now making furniture for Jiang Ruanyan's victims."

After a pause, he continued.

"I guess that Jiang Ruanyan is likely to know Jiang Shutong because of his brother."

Zhang Mingshan nodded, it turned out that this was the case, she thought that Jiang Ruanyan had found a baby from somewhere, "Then she said." ”

"That Jiang Shutong is a daughter in the boudoir, and she usually doesn't have any special hobbies, she stays in the house all day long, and she is quite talented and learned, but she doesn't go out often on weekdays, and she has reached the age of marriage, but the Jiang family is not as good as her, it is said that it is because she intends to marry her to Jiang Zhiheng."

"I've heard of this man." When Zhang Mingshan heard Jiang Zhiheng's name, he was a little familiar.

"It is said that he is very knowledgeable, but for some reason he refuses to enter Beijing to catch the exam, many people say that if he is the exam, he will be the champion, but he seems to have no interest in fame, he has always been teaching for a living, living a life of idle clouds and wild cranes."

Zhang Mingshan has always been curious about him.

"Yes, my lord, this Jiang Zhiheng is also one of the important teachers in Jiang Ruanyan's new school." Zhang Mingshan frowned after hearing this.

He always felt that among these people, there was some inexplicable relationship with Jiang Ruanyan, but he couldn't explain what was wrong.

"Forget it, I don't have to worry so much, keep an eye on that Jiang Shutong, as well as the people who have recently entered and exited Jishitang, I must know what they do."

"Yes, sir." And the man who was in the darkness received the commandment, and withdrew.

Zhang Mingshan continued to write his words, anyway, there are so many people staring at Jishitang, there is not much more than him, and there is no less than him, not to mention that he now has a gambling contract with Jishitang, and only by knowing himself and knowing the other can he be invincible.

He felt that his method was simply wonderful, he didn't have to do anything, just wait to see what Jiang Ruanyan did.

And if Jiang Ruanyan spies on him in the same way, it would be a pity, Jiang Ruanyan can't see anything, because near his house, His Highness has already arranged manpower.

Remember the royal pet: the permanent address of His Highness in those years
