Chapter 31: Calculation
Lin Er shook her head and replied: "The eldest lady found out about this, but she didn't say much, but the maids in the house that night saw it, and some people spread it on the spot, so even a lot of minions knew, but I don't know why no one in the house said it in front of us recently." ”
"That little slut didn't use this to blackmail us?" Aunt Li muttered suspiciously.
After thinking about it for a while, she seemed to react suddenly, grabbed Gu Xiyue's hand and said: "Yue'er, since she is not afraid of me coming out, then this picture must be more than a half, it seems that we have to go out of the house as soon as possible, today I have already sent someone to see it, that little slut really went out early in the morning, if it is not something unsightly to go out so early, no one will believe it!" ”
"And what does Mother want to do?" Gu Xiyue knew that her mother was a good hand in this regard, and she was naturally full of confidence, as if Gu Muyan had really been calculated by them.
"That's it..."Aunt Li said beside Gu Xiyue, and the further back she went, the more smug the expressions on the faces of the two became.
At this time, Gu Muyan was in the study, Dong Xue walked in from outside the door and stood aside and said to her respectfully: "Today, Aunt Li stayed in the courtyard of the second lady for half a day, and she just went back just now, her eyes were red, and she happened to meet Xiangye coming back. ”
Gu Muyan, who was about to put down the pen and write down a word, suddenly put down the pen in his hand, looked at Dongxue with interest and said, "Oh? Is there really such a coincidence? ”
"I just don't know what this Aunt Li wants to do." Dong Xue couldn't think of why Aunt Li did this, after all, her foot ban had been lifted, and the second lady was pretending to be sick, but she didn't expect to pretend for so long, so Dong Xue felt that this Aunt Li should have nothing to be sad about.
"It's fine, it's just a little trick." Gu Muyan was not as worried as Dong Xue, changed a piece of paper, wrote a letter in extremely delicate handwriting, put it in his sachet, and handed it to Dong Xue.
"Remember, if you see Aunt Li, you must let them see this letter." After Gu Muyan finished speaking, he waved his hand and let Dongxue go down.
Xianxiang, who was studying ink on the side, did not raise her eyes to read the content of Gu Muyan's letter very consciously, so naturally she didn't know what she wanted to do, so she asked suspiciously: "Miss, why do you want Aunt Li's people to see it?" ”
"If they don't see it, then how can Aunt Li grab my handle? Gu Muyan patiently explained, and then continued to practice this calligraphy.
The entire Wuyuan Garden is also very peaceful because of Gu Muyan, there is no superfluous sound in the courtyard, and the sound of people walking is also quiet.
At this time, the sound of the breeze blowing the leaves, as well as the chirping of insects and birds, were also very clear, which made people's hearts quiet.
In stark contrast, I am afraid that it is Chunxiangju, since Aunt Li has lost her foot ban, she has become as perverse as before, eating candied fruit and other small mouths, while listening to the people talking about things in the house.
Originally, Gu Muyan was housekeeper, Aunt Li wanted to watch a good show, but who knew that this little girl was taught by no one and no one was in charge, and she actually talked about the orderly governance of the entire Prime Minister's Mansion, how could Aunt Li be willing?
"Nothing really happened in Fuchu lately?" Aunt Li pushed away the fruit plate handed in front of her, and asked the person who replied on the ground, her eyes full of disbelief.
The maid on the ground shook her head a little tremblingly and replied, "If you go back to my aunt, the house has been extremely peaceful in the past few days, and nothing has happened. ”
"Get out, get out of here!" Aunt Li seemed to be crazy, stood up directly, picked up the things at hand and threw them on the ground.
At this time, Dong'er had just come back from outside, and asked the maid who was kicked out, "Auntie, what's wrong?" Is it because you are not serving well? ”
"My aunt asked if there was anything going on in the house, but during this time, the house was very peaceful, except for the second lady who was sick, there was nothing else, and then my aunt got angry and drove us out." The maid replied respectfully to Dong'er.
"Alright, you all go down first, and I'll call you to clean up later." Dong'er waved his hand and let these subordinates retreat.
Then Dong'er frowned slightly and walked into her aunt's room, but before she could speak, her aunt's things smashed over.
Aunt Li saw that there were still people who dared to disobey her words and dare to be in front of her eyes, so she was naturally unhappy, so she didn't care who it was, and threw the teacup in her hand directly at that person's head.
"What kind of shitty thing dares to disobey the master?" Aunt Li shouted at the top of her voice as she threw the cup out in her hand.
This tea was newly added by the maids who had just gone out, and this time it happened to be smashed on Dong'er's forehead, and the whole face turned red in an instant.
But Dong'er didn't dare to cry out in pain, so she could only smile and make an expression of concern for her aunt and said: "Oh, madam, which cheap embryo is this that has made you angry again, Dong'er knows a good thing, and I will be happy immediately after hearing it!" ”
As Dong'er's voice reached Aunt Li's ears, she reacted and smashed Dong'er, seeing that Dong'er's face was already red, she felt a little guilty in her heart, but how could she admit that it was her fault?
So Aunt Li naturally blamed Dong'er for all the mistakes and said, "Hmph, let you come up, and go to the pharmacy to get some medicine later, it will be treated as a reward for you, tell me what's the matter?" ”
"Thank you, ma'am!" Dong'er pretended to be extremely happy and thanked her, but she actually hated Aunt Li very much in her heart, what could she do as a little maid? No one will have pity on themselves.
"The maid we sent to watch the eldest lady came back, saying that she saw Dong Xue beside the eldest lady carrying a sachet and a letter, and left the prime minister's mansion with great caution." Dong'er endured the tingling pain on her face and replied with a smile.
"Are you sure?" Aunt Li came to the spirit at once, she knew that there was nothing good for this little slut to go out of the house so often, and now she really went to meet her lover in secret! Hmph, look at how she turns over now!
"Slave is sure! You can't go wrong! Dong'er replied on her knees.
Aunt Li, who was originally depressed because Gu Muyan was in charge of the matter of feeding the Prime Minister's Mansion, suddenly seemed to have regained her energy, waved her hand towards Dong'er and said, "Okay, you go down, let people clean up here." ”
"Yes, ma'am." Dong'er respectfully retreated, and it wasn't until she returned to the room that the expression on her face became hideous.
Regarding Aunt Li's hatred, Dong'er is probably the one with the most hatred in this prime minister's mansion.
On the second day, Gu Muyan still left the Prime Minister's Mansion very early, and she didn't plan to go out before, but she couldn't wait to know what happened to Sheng Zhoujin to investigate before, so she went out again.
Knowing that Gu Muyan was already waiting for him in the backyard of the grain village, Sheng Zhoujin called Ruoshu and went over from the front yard together.
At this time, Sheng Zhoujin had already found out that the owner of the grain was Xiao Yi, the current fourth prince, and even found out where the grain came from, standing beside Gu Muyan and replied: "Last year, the talented people around the four princes asserted that there must have been a natural disaster last year, but there is no news until today, so I want to sell this grain in exchange for cash." ”
"Since he sent it to the door, it is better to be respectful than to obey his fate." Gu Muyan was bound to take these grains, and he also broke Xiao Yi's purpose of winning people's hearts by relying on these grains.
"Yes, my subordinates will do it." Sheng Zhoujin said respectfully, and then turned around and was about to go out to see that this matter was done, but Gu Muyan stopped him.
"Uncle Sheng stays, I don't want anyone to know that it was our people's grain village that did it, if there is really someone to change this year, I also hope that there will be someone in the capital who can spread the word that the fourth prince Xiao Yi has food in his hands." Gu Muyan said his plan.
Sheng Zhoujin also immediately stopped, turned around, frowned slightly, and said frankly to Gu Muyan: "The capital is not big or small, but if you want this matter to be hidden, I'm afraid it will still be a little difficult. ”
"I have a solution." Gu Muyan also knew that this matter was a little difficult, so he had already thought of countermeasures.
If the acquisition is put on ordinary people, or those businessmen, then this matter will not be too difficult for Sheng Zhoujin.
But this matter fell on Xiao Yi's body, originally he had great intentions for the throne, so there will naturally be no fewer capable people around him, plus he has intentionally or unintentionally expanded his power in the capital over the years, ordinary methods are definitely useless to him.
"Please give me some advice." Sheng Zhoujin had almost been subdued by Gu Muyan, and asked extremely respectfully.
"As far as I know, there is a group of people in the West Market, who specialize in helping people do things, and they can do this with their hands, these people are the people of the second prince, and the fourth prince will definitely not risk being discovered." Gu Muyan said with great confidence.
Sheng Zhoujin was completely shocked at this time, few people knew about the affairs of Xishi, let alone a deep lady like Gu Muyan, it was impossible to know, and now he admired his own young lady even more.
"Yes, my subordinates will go and investigate!" After Sheng Zhoujin finished speaking, he retreated.
Ruoshu was still by Gu Muyan's side, and there was a bit of hesitation in his expression.
"Ask whatever you want." Gu Muyan sat on the Taishi chair, took a sip of the tea in the cup and said.
