Chapter 354: Stranger

"Actually, I shouldn't have come in the first place." Mu Hongsheng's mouth curled, and she began to complain: "Lin Xiang's family did it on purpose!" Today's wedding banquet in our family, it is not good for him to bring anyone, but he will bring Lin Erye's family. ”

"Not necessarily." Gu Yilan shook her head: "Among Lin Xiang's sons, Second Master Lin has the best future at the moment, and the next generation of people who will set up a household is Second Master Lin, in addition, Lin Zhiting is going to school very quickly, if it is said that he is participating in this year's Autumn Festival, Lin should also have high expectations for him." For the wedding banquet at our family, almost all the princes and nobles in Beijing have arrived, and on such an occasion, Lin Xiang will definitely bring his most proud and promising children and grandchildren to attend. ”

"Li Yunshu didn't come today, I don't know why." Mu Hongsheng's thinking jumped and thought of another person: "I first helped my mother receive guests in Qushui Pavilion, and I saw Wen Meiqing there. I think...... Mrs. Wen and Wen Meiqing were very attentive to me today, I just went over to say hello to the ladies who went to the banquet to take a seat, and Mrs. Wen pulled me and said a lot of things. Also, there are two Miss He who I look at and look very good, but I have no impression of them, and it seems that I have never seen them. Although these two Miss He were first met, they were not as shy and reserved as others, and they were also very enthusiastic about me, and the two of them pulled me to talk a lot. ”

"What?" Xie Shurou tilted her head and thought for a while and asked, "The surname is He...... The youngest daughter of General Jin Lingwei He? Wrong...... Two...... Are those the two youngest granddaughters of Jin Yangbo? These young ladies who are not from very high backgrounds, the banquet of the princess's mansion will definitely not receive invitations, and it is normal that you have not seen it. ”

"No," Mu Hongsheng shook her head: "They said that they are the daughters of Lord He of the Hanlin Academy." ”

"The Hanlin Academy's decree?" Xie Shurou and Gu Yilan glanced at each other, both of them at a loss in their eyes. Xie Shurou is at home on weekdays, and it is difficult to get the news of the appointment and dismissal of these officials in the DPRK and China, while Gu Yilan has been preparing for marriage since returning to Beijing, so neither of them knows where this Lord He of the Hanlin Academy came from.

"Is there a person surnamed He in the Hanlin Academy?" Xie Shurou frowned: "I haven't been impressed." ”

"Not before." Gu Yilan shook her head very firmly: "My grandfather was promoted by the Hanlin Academy, and he has a good foundation in the Hanlin Academy, and most of the officials of the Hanlin Academy have a lot of dealings with our Academy, I still know it." ”

"Is that new?" Xie Shurou asked: "You are busy preparing for marriage these days, even if this Lord He goes to visit the Gu University Scholar's Mansion, you may not know." ”

"That's it, it's not easy to know." Mu Hongsheng stood up directly, walked to the door and opened the door, and called the maid in a loud voice: "Sister water chestnut, please go to the concierge for a run." ”

"What do you want to ask?" A smiling voice came from the courtyard: "It's better for the slave to go to the front yard and bring a porter on duty back to talk back." ”

"No, you don't." Mu Hongshang waved her hand at the water chestnut: "Sister water chestnut, who should be in charge of the guest names and gifts that come today?" I was in Qushui Pavilion before, looking at the eyes of the two young ladies surnamed He, I heard that it was the daughter of Lord He of the Hanlin Academy, and the sister-in-law said that I had never heard of this Lord He, I was curious, so I bothered you to go to the concierge to take a trip and take the name of Lord He's family to us to see. ”

"This is easy," Ling Jiao nodded immediately: "The guest name card should be in the care of Sister Chunhui in Madame's room, Miss wait, the slave will go to find her." ”

"Yes! Just look at a famous post, are we sitting here guessing stupidly? Xie Shurou suddenly touched her face.

The legs and feet of the water chestnut were very fast, and after a while, the name of He Wenmao's family was taken from the Hanlin Academy, Mu Hongshang put the name card in front of Xie Shurou and Gu Yilan, Xie Shurou frowned with some doubts: "He Wenmao...... The name sounds familiar. ”

And Gu Yilan picked up the name card and looked at it carefully, then sneered and threw it on the table: "Who am I, it turned out to be him, but it's good luck." This person is a student of Lin Xiang, and when I had an accident in Chunzhou before the New Year, he was the governor of Chunzhou at that time. ”

"It's him!" Xie Shurou nodded suddenly in realization: "I heard my grandmother mention this person at home." There was a bandit on the ground in Chunzhou, and because of the arms smuggling case caused by the bandits, he was able to get out of two major cases in succession, which shows that Lin Xiang has made a bloody effort to protect him. ”

"The former Chunzhou Mansion Yin, then the eldest brother also knows this person?" Mu Hongshang asked.

"Acquaintance." Gu Yilan nodded: "At that time, I stayed in Tong County with your eldest brother, and it was this He Wenmao and Zhang Pingchang, the assassin of Chunzhou, who brought the government army over to suppress the bandits. ”

"That'...... He Wenmao, what does my sister-in-law think? Mu Hongsheng asked again.

Gu Yilan didn't expect that Mu Hongsheng would care about her opinion of He Wenmao, but she still replied without concealment: "I can't say what kind of ability I am as an official, this person gives me the feeling that it is slippery." There was such a big thing in Chunzhou that day, and he didn't forget to ask his wife to prepare a gift to come to Tong County to visit me. But he has Lin Xiang behind him, and it is natural that he is more confident than Zhang Pingchang. How did Red Dress come up with the idea of asking this? ”

"Daddy sent a letter a few days ago," Mu Hongsheng replied: "Lin Xiang is still stuck with our money and food in the north at the moment, and he wants Daddy to come forward to protect his student as the secretary of the military department." I think the student Lin Xiang said is this He Wenmao! ”

"If he ......" Gu Yilan's brows frowned slightly: "I thought it ...... Forget it, I'll ask your eldest brother what's going on. ”

Xie Shurou sensitively raised her eyelids and glanced at Gu Yilan, she knew that Gu Yilan had something to hide. Gu Yilan's attitude made her immediately think about whether this He Wenmao was also in Gu Yilan's rebirth memory, and the trajectory was slightly different from Gu Yilan's previous life memory.

Someone who can make Gu Yilan have a memory...... Then this He Wenmao, in Gu Yilan's previous life, was also an important minister of the court.

However, Xie Shurou didn't ask casually, she knew that the current mutual trust relationship between her and Gu Yilan was based on Mu Hongsheng, so it was better for her, a daughter of the Xie family, to be more restrained in front of the heroine, and not to ask about everything.

Besides, even if she knew about these things in advance, it would be useless, and her grandfather would never listen to her advice as an "ignorant woman and child". It's better to save more than to save one.

As for the future...... Let's talk about it!! Dead pigs are not afraid of boiling water, the heroine is married to passer-by, is there anything that can't be deviated? It doesn't matter!
