Chapter Eighty-Eight: Knowing Her Identity

Jiang Mo pretended to be impatient, and snorted coldly, "I am a person from the Protector Mansion, and Lord Shicai ordered me to go back to the mansion to spread the word, and now I have to go back to my life." ”

After saying that, she sent the waist card of the Protector Mansion, and the little servants of the Imperial History Mansion naturally didn't dare to offend her, so they had to let her in.

After Jiangmo entered the mansion, her eyes turned red in an instant, she was very familiar with every brick and tile, as if everything had not changed.

It's just that the current Li Yushi is not powerful in the court, and the entire mansion is becoming more and more desolate, and there is no longer the grand scene of the past.

Now Huan Yu is a powerful person in the court, and now he can come over with dignity, and those who tend to be inflammatory, and those who tend to be inflammatory, naturally smell the fishy smell and come over, and the entire Shangshu Mansion is lively for a while, which makes it very convenient for Jiangmo to walk in the mansion.

She is very familiar with Shangshufu, and knows which way to avoid people and go directly to her father's study.

She only walked in the middle of nowhere, but the fallen leaves were piled up, and there was no sound of stepping on them.

And when she came to a verandah, covered in the pool, carved on all sides, pasted with fine yarn, Jiang Mo vaguely saw two people inside, talking.

She was busy hiding behind a pine and cypress tree several feet high, and only went to take a look quietly, but saw that one of them was wearing an official robe, with a bit of flattery on his face, and the sharp-beaked monkey cheeks were not a good look.

Jiang Mo looked at his big red robe, his face was full of joy, he was afraid that it would be today's birthday star, but when he thought that his home had fallen into the hands of such a person, his face turned pale with anger.

Through the branches, he vaguely saw that standing in front of him was a woman in green clothes, although she covered her face with tulle, only revealing a pair of eyes, but Jiang Mo felt very familiar, as if she had seen those deep eyes like water somewhere.

That Li Yushi said: "Carefully, Lord Ben spent two thousand taels of silver to buy you into the mansion, only because of your eyes that look like a green kite, if you can't win Lord Huan's favor today, Lord Ben will never spare you." ”

Jiang Mo was slightly stunned, and then remembered that her eyes were very similar to the eyes of a green kite, clean and clear without dust, as if they had just been brought out of the water.

When the slender woman heard this, she hurriedly knelt on the ground, "The slave will never live up to the high expectations of the adults. ”

Li Yushi heard her words, and then smiled, "This high branch is there, the girl has to have the ability to fly on the branch, if you are beautiful in the future, Lord Ben will still point to you to promote." ”

Jiang Mo couldn't help but snort coldly, this Li Yushi really did everything to cling to Huan Yu, and even came up with such a means.

As she was thinking, a gust of wind blew in her face, and she hurriedly took a few steps back and hid behind a rock, but she did not listen to the words of the two men.

That Li Yushi's expression suddenly became solemn, he looked around, saw that there was no one around, and said in a low voice, "Find a way to take him to the study in the west, where Lord Ben has ordered someone to burn the incense, if people smell it for a long time, they will be soft and lose their minds." ”

The slender woman's cheeks flushed in an instant, and she whispered, "Yes." ”

Jiang Mo stood behind the bluestone for a while, and then saw the two conspirators leave one after the other, and then followed the water pavilion and turned into a sheep's intestine path.

However, she turned the road and looked at the situation in front of her, and couldn't help sighing, the beautiful trees in the past were now a wasteland, and the white stone paved path had been flooded by the water left between the stone crevices, and now it was impossible to pass.

Jiang Mo couldn't help but start planning how to go, but he had to pass through the plum garden in the west, and now at this hour, I am afraid that the banquet has not yet begun, so Li Yushi will definitely lead Huan Yu there to enjoy the plum.

After all, those plum trees were rewarded by my aunt, and they were in the same place as the plum blossoms in the palace, so Li Yushi would definitely take them out to show off.

Jiang Mo pondered carefully for a while, gritted her teeth, and only ran towards the plum garden, thinking that she was so busy in the mansion that no one would notice her at all.

*******************

Huan Yu entered the mansion today, and was welcomed into the plum garden, others were still taboo that this was the former Shangshu Mansion, and the green kite had a marriage contract with him, so Li Yushi's son Li Tai kept quietly checking Huan Yu's face.

But Huan Yu was full of indifference, only standing under a plum tree, looking up at the blooming red plum. He was dressed in white, with the red plum, just like the characters in the painting.

Li Tai didn't say much when he saw Huan Yu, so he couldn't talk to him, so he had to stand aside in a sneering manner.

And at this moment, he saw the sound of the maid screaming, and Li Tai hurriedly went to look, but saw a shiny black dog running over, but the dog gave birth to a pair of white ears, and stood there, becoming more and more extraordinary.

"Who released it well, why don't you lock it up quickly, now the house is full of distinguished guests, what can I do if I bump into someone?"

Li Tai was scolding the little guys, but he saw that the dog had already run to Huan Yu's side, only stopping in front of him, staring straight at him with a pair of eyes.

This is the white ear raised by the young kite back then, when the young family was killed, the family property was confiscated, and the dog was also brought into the palace.

But the dog has not eaten or drunk since he entered the palace, and he has become skinny and skinny, and he refuses to open his mouth.

The first emperor had no choice but to send it back to the Shangshu Mansion from the new, but at that time the mansion had experienced a bloody massacre, and no officials were willing to move in, so the dog stayed here alone, and only the attendants often came to feed.

Later, the Li family moved here, and the dog naturally had to be taken care of, and because it was the dog of the first emperor, he had not dared to beat and scold for half a point in the past few years, and he was worshiped like his ancestors.

It's just that this dog never pays attention to people, even the little guy who feeds it, and I don't know how many times it has been bitten.

Li Tai was anxious with beads of sweat on his head, and when he raised his eyes, he saw that Huan Yu was leaning over, and his fingers were slowly touching the white ear's body.

However, the white ear snorted and looked at him with a wary face.

There was a hint of gloom on Huan Yu's face, this dog used to be very affectionate to him, but that day when he shot at the people of the Qing family with a bow and arrow, the dog kept barking at him, if it wasn't for the guards to stop him, I was afraid that this dog would be able to tear him apart.

That Li Tai was originally a person who had no success in his heart, but when he saw this, he hurriedly flattered and said, "This white ear and the adult are really old acquaintances, and now, seeing you, they are so peaceful." ”

After saying this, the little guy next to him coughed lightly, and he realized that he had lost his words.

And just when he was anxious and did not know what to say, he saw that the white ear cried out as if he was mad, and then ran to the west, as if he had smelled the smell of meat.

Everyone was startled, and even Huan Yu's eyes were stunned, and they looked at the white ear, but saw it crawling at the feet of a person, rubbing it on the person's legs, humming and chirping in his mouth, very cheerful.

Jiang Mo didn't think that she just wanted to walk quietly from the plum garden, but she didn't think that she would see Bai Er come out of nowhere, and her eyes were sour for a moment, and there were a little tears.

And soon countless eyes looked at herself, she just wanted to run away, but at this moment, she saw a boy in brocade clothes there and said, "Who are you, don't come and talk back quickly." ”

Jiang Mo had to grit his teeth and walked over slowly. The white ears also kept circling around her, shaking their heads and tails, as if they couldn't leave her for half a moment.

"Greetings to you." She deliberately lowered her voice and lowered her head, for fear that others would see that she was a woman.

"Where did you go on an errand? Why has Young Master Ben never seen you? Li Tai swept her from beginning to end, and asked her with a puzzled face.

And Bu Cai, who was following Huan Yu, recognized Jiangmo at a glance, and his face was full of shock in an instant, and he blurted out, "Why are you here?" ”

Everyone was confused for a moment, but they heard an indifferent voice coming, "I ordered him to come over, it's just a little guy in the Protector's Mansion, you don't have to be surprised." ”

Hearing this, Li Tai hurriedly flattered, "The Protector Mansion is really a capable person, and even Bai Er can be so docile in front of him." ”

Huan Yu glanced at Jiang Mo deeply, and then said, "Since you are here, come and serve." ”

Jiang Mo was gritting his teeth and had to walk behind him, and at this time, a little girl who was already watching the dog came over, put the white ear in a sleeve, and left with it.

She looked at the white ear that had been taken away, and her heart was sour, but her face did not show half of it.

Huan Yu then continued to walk under the plum blossom tree in Shicai, reached out and broke off a branch, and took it in his hand to look at it carefully.

"Why didn't the second prince ask me what I was doing here?" Jiang Mo stared at Huan Yu with a smile, and lowered his voice and said, "Don't you want to know?" ”

"I don't want to hear what you've chopped up." There was a slight smile on his face, "Since you don't want to say it, it's better not to say it." ”

Jiang Mo was slightly stunned, and then pulled the corners of his lips, "Yes." ”

And at this moment, I saw the little guys hurrying back and forth, saying that the banquet had been opened, just waiting for Huan Yu to pass.

Huan Yu's gaze fell on Jiang Mo's face, "Let's go." ”

When they came to the main hall, they saw that more than a dozen tables had been set up in the house, on which were placed delicacies from the mountains and seas, dough and plucked peaches, incense sticks were burned, and worship carpets and brocade mattresses were spread on the ground.

The seat was already full of people, and Jiang Mo only glanced at it, all of them were some gentry in Beijing, or corrupt officials, and they only came here after they were bothered.

Seeing that Huan Yu and those people really stood up from their seats, saying polite words, Huan Yu was still as usual, advancing and retreating in a certain way, even those who were bent to welcome him, and he never showed the slightest disgust.

That Li Yushi was very attentive and asked Huan Yu to sit on the top, but he heard Huan Yu say, "Here, regardless of your official position, you are an elder, so you naturally want to respect you." ”

After saying that, he only sat down, and everyone praised him more and more, only thinking that the protector was such a domineering and lonely person, and he was even more selfish in the court, but he didn't expect his son to be such a person who knew etiquette and etiquette.

Huan Yu sat down at this time, and Jiang Mo was also by his side, and she was thinking about going to the study, but she didn't expect such a change to happen, and she was so anxious.

That hasn't just quietly retreated, so the matter of tasting the dishes fell to Jiang Mo.

In the past few days, she has eaten only some scraps and cold food, but today she saw a table full of delicacies, but her stomach was like a stone, and she had no appetite.

At this time, the maids had already brought clothes, bowls and chopsticks, and Jiang Mo only took out a piece from each plate and stuffed it in his mouth.

Huan Yu's gaze fell on her, but there was a rare softness between her eyebrows and eyes, as if at that moment, her brother Huan was back.

And when her chopsticks fell on the bowl of fried bamboo shoots, she saw him frown slightly, "I won't eat this dish, you don't have to try it again." ”

In an instant, Jiang Mo's heart tightened, and he hurriedly looked at Huan Yu, but saw that he was still talking to people with a smile.

She never eats bamboo shoots, and every time she eats it, she always gets sick, and Huan Yu knows about it.

Soon Jiangmo tried the dishes, took the silver chopsticks presented by the maids, and put them in front of Huan Yu.

"Have you eaten enough?" His voice was as soft as the wind, "Are these dishes good?" ”

Jiang Mo's fingers couldn't help but clench the corners of his skirt, and he barely pulled out a smile, "The slave thinks that perch is good." ”

Huan Yu smiled faintly, but sure enough, he stretched out his chopsticks and put a piece of fish meat in his mouth, "It's really good." ”

And at this moment, he saw that Li Yushi quietly glanced at Huan Yu, and said with a smile, "On such a good day, how can you make it without silk and bamboo wind music?" There is a pipa girl in my mansion, and I happen to invite her to come up and play a song. ”

Soon there was a fat-headed and big-eared man below, who had already drunk and had red ears and red ears, and looked at that appearance, he was just a first-class figure of a rich squire, who only knew how to be arrogant and comfortable, and he was naturally happy when he heard this.

That Li Yushi was busy calling for invitations, and soon saw a masked woman walking in with a pipa in her arms, although she only showed a pair of eyes, she was also a national beauty.

Jiang Mo Shicai just glanced at the water's edge from afar, but he only felt that those eyes were six or seven points alike, and now they were close at hand, but they were already nine points alike.

The woman looked around the room, and soon her eyes fell on Huan Yu's body.

Jiang Mo couldn't help but sigh, the matter arranged by Li Yushi came and couldn't help but feel very interesting.

But I saw the woman sitting on the chair, stretching out her fingers like jade onions and slowly plucking, accompanied by the clear and exquisite sound of the pipa, which made people obsessed in an instant, if it weren't for the fact that Huan Yu was still in the house, I was afraid that these people would have already clapped their hands.

Soon after a song, the woman knelt on the ground, her eyes skimmed over Huan Yu's body again, but she saw that he did not look at herself, and there was a faint trace of disappointment in her eyes.

Jiang Mo stood beside him, with a slight smile in his dark eyes, and said in a low voice, "Second Young Master, the beauty is looking at you, I didn't expect you to be so incomprehensible, it's really disappointing." ”

Huan Yu raised his head and suddenly laughed, and in an instant everything in the room lost its brilliance.

"Aren't you eating?"

"The minions don't." Jiang Mo's gaze looked at the woman named Slender again, "Second Young Master, do you feel that her eyes are very similar to a person's?" ”

Huan Yu's hand pouring wine stopped there, and only raised his eyes to look at Jiang Mo, "It's not like it at all, but your eyes are more like hers." ”

Jiang Mo panicked in her heart, always felt as if he had discovered something, and hurriedly raised her eyes to look at him, but saw that his face was still indifferent, which made her unpredictable at all.

That Li Yushi had been looking at Huan Yu's face, and seeing that he didn't show the slightest liking for the details, he couldn't help but be disappointed, but he didn't want to waste the opportunity like this, so he hurriedly smiled, "Fine, don't you give a toast to the adults soon." ”

The people in the house were salivating at this woman, and when they heard this, they couldn't help but be disappointed, but they already knew that this woman was specially found for Huan Yu, and they couldn't take advantage of it.

When Jiang Mo heard this, she hurriedly took a few steps back to make way for the woman, but she had just moved half a step, but saw that Huan Yu's gaze had already fallen on her, "Don't move." ”

Naturally, she didn't dare to move a single inch, but at this moment, she saw that the beauty had already come over with a wine cup, and the slender jade fingers reflected the jade inlaid on the marigold, which was so beautiful.

Huan Yu didn't refuse, but just reached out and took it, and all the wine in the wine glass spilled out and splashed on the beauty's body, and the silk shirt on her body was wet in an instant, looking very embarrassed.

Jiang Mo saw it clearly on the side, and the details were obviously trying to pretend to be a mistake, and would sprinkle it on Huan Yu's body, but unexpectedly, Huan Yu moved one step ahead of her, and it was her clothes that suffered.

She couldn't help sneering, but she was afraid that she would take advantage of Huan Yu to change her clothes for a while, and go up to serve.

"My lord's forgiveness, the concubine will bring you a new cup." She was so frightened that she knelt on the ground, and there were tears faintly in her watery eyes, and when the man in the room saw it, he felt more and more pity, and he just wanted to help her up from the ground.

Seeing that the details were so useless, Li Yushi couldn't help but look ugly, and only said in a cold voice, "That's it, you quickly retreat and change into clothes and come over to you." ”

Then she withdrew with tears in her eyes.

Only then did Jiang Mo whisper in Huan Yu's ear, "Second Young Master, the slave is going to the thatched house." ”

Huan Yu turned his head and glanced at her lightly, "Don't run too far, come back obediently." ”

Jiang Mo's heart tightened, and he only felt that he couldn't hide anything from him, but he only nodded respectfully, "Yes... ”

After saying that, she hurriedly came out of the house, but saw that the little maids and maids in the courtyard were busy with their own affairs, and no one noticed her at all, so she relaxed slightly and hurriedly walked to the west study.

At this time, the sky was already a little drowsy, and I was afraid that it would be dark in a while, so it would be easier for her to leave here quietly.

Thinking so, she went straight to the study, and after only a few long corridors, she arrived.

However, when she saw that the door was tightly locked, but there was no one to guard it, she was relieved, and she turned to the back of the house, and found a green brick out of nowhere, and struck it lightly on a window, and the window opened.

In the past, this study was a place for her father to keep his books, and he knew that his daughter liked to read the most, and he was afraid that she would read indiscriminately, so he ordered someone to lock the door.

And Jiang Mo broke the wooden bolt of one of the windows, and sneaked in while his father was on court. Now this Qingshangshu naturally has no extra silver, so he has replaced the doors and windows.

Only then did Jiang Mo stand on tiptoe and slowly jump into the study.

And when she looked up, she couldn't help but feel a sour feeling in her heart, her father's precious books had already been stolen, and now the books that the owner of this place placed here were just ordinary books.

It's just that a soft couch is placed in the study, but I'm afraid that Li Yushi often rests here.

I didn't know what spices were burning in the room, Jiang Mo couldn't help frowning, only feeling that his brain was groggy, so he had to cover his mouth and nose and walk towards the copper crane in the middle of the study.

This bronze crane is very heavy, even a few people can't carry it away, but they are afraid that when they raid the house, the official will be worthless, so he stays here.

Jiangmo walked over, leaned over and looked at the bronze crane's belly, only pressed it lightly, and sure enough, she saw a springboard fall, her slender hand slowly stretched out into the crane's belly, and soon took out a small peach tree box.

Her eyes couldn't help but turn red, and she opened the box with trembling hands, but she saw two pieces of paper and an envelope, and she didn't have time to look at them carefully, so she only put the contents in her close-fitting little clothes, and then put everything back in its place.

However, after she had put everything away, she was about to leave quickly, when she heard a sound of footsteps outside the door, and someone was coming.

She subconsciously looked around, but saw that there was only one wardrobe around her, and she was afraid that the owner of the study would use it for a change of clothes, so she gritted her teeth and got in.

However, she put it in, and through the gap, she vaguely saw a boy come in, with a maid in her arms.

But it was Li Tai, who was flattering and flattering by Huan Yu's side, but he was afraid that he was hooking up with the maid while his father was at the banquet, completely ignoring that today was his father's birthday.

The maid had just entered the house, so she sniffed hard, but frowned and said, "Young master, what kind of incense is this, the bones of the slave and maid are crispy." ”

Li Tai didn't know what kind of incense it was, so he only smiled, "Where is the fault of the incense, I'm afraid that when I saw this young master, my bones were soft." ”

After saying that, the two of them actually lay on the couch in the study.

Jiang Mo couldn't help but blush, only half dead with hatred, but hurriedly closed the door, but the voice still kept ringing in her ears, and she couldn't help but feel nauseous, and she covered her mouth so that she didn't spit it out.

She gradually lost the slightest strength in her body, and only felt the fragrance lingering in her ears.

And at this moment, he heard a burst of footsteps outside, as if someone was talking, Jiang Mo listened hard, but vaguely heard Huan Yu's angry and arrogant voice, "Get out of the way." ”
