Chapter 20: Temptation
Everyone is just temporarily seconded, and they can't talk about loyalty to Gong Changyi.
Since the little guy in front of them is so ordered, they are naturally willing to be lazy.
The courtyard quickly returned to tranquility, and Yuan Bao'er lit all the lanterns under the eaves before sitting under the porch.
When the moon was on the willow tops, Gong Changyi and Gong Qing came back.
Yuan Baoer served the sobering soup, Gong Changyi drank it all, and staggered to the bed to rest.
Yuan Bao'er lit a soothing incense, and when she came out of the lights, she smelled that Gong Qing also smelled of wine, so she said, "I also made some more sobering soup, do you want to drink some adults?" ”
"It's okay," Gong Qing was dragged to drink two glasses tonight.
The wine here is far stronger than that of Jingshi, and after only two glasses, it is a little drunk.
Yuan Bao'er brought the soup over, and when he finished drinking, he said with a smile: "It's not early, adults should rest early." ”
Gong Qing handed the bowl over, and when his eyes wandered, he felt that Yuan Bao'er's appearance was too handsome, so he smiled and said: "You look like this, it's really rare in this realm, isn't it that Zhenri is being confined in the house and raised." ”
Yuan Bao'er's heart jumped, and she hurriedly smiled: "I'm a kid, whoever instructs me will follow anyone's orders, even if I have time to eat, where can I have that blessing to be lazy?" ”
Gong Qing just said that, it's impossible to think about it.
If it is really taken in, how can it be willing to let people out?
Yuan Bao'er snatched the thought of touching her delicate little face, shook her head and went back to the house.
The next morning, Yuan Baoer got up early and first boiled a pot of tea.
Yuan Baoer didn't know Gong Changyi's temperament, but he knew the problems of his maternal grandfather.
In the past, as soon as he had wine, he would drink a bowl of hot tea the next day, saying that it was ironed like this.
The only thing Yuan Bao'er has taken care of is her grandfather, so she can only follow his habits.
It didn't take long for the tea to boil.
Yuan Bao'er was about to take the teabottle away, when she heard a movement in the main house, and she hurriedly came in with a maid.
Gong Changyi sat on the edge of the bed, rubbing his swollen and aching head, and said in a hoarse voice without raising his head when he heard the movement: "Bring some tea." ”
Yuan Baoer served the tea soup she was holding.
Gong Changyi took two sips, and the slightly hot tea soup slid through the throat and slowly ironed his stomach.
He let out a long breath and motioned for the maid to come forward.
He didn't need Yuan Bao'er to serve, and he washed by himself.
Yuan Baoer took advantage of this gap to arrange breakfast.
Breakfast was ordered by Mrs. Han herself, and it was all hot porridge, which was very suitable for people who were drunk.
Gong Changyi finished eating very comfortably and left with Gong Qing.
Yuan Bao'er motioned to the maid to pack up her things, pretended to pack up her things, searched the inner room, and found no secret letters, so she went to the study again.
There are a lot of books in the study, but some effort has been wasted.
It's just a pity that nothing has been found.
She was unwilling, and walked around the inner and outer rooms, and it was easy to find it, but she didn't find anything.
Gong Changyi took Gong Qing in, and when he saw Yuan Bao'er in the house, he looked sideways.
Yuan Bao'er hurriedly came over to salute and respectfully retreated.
Gong Changyi glanced at the rag in her hand and said lightly: "You don't have to come in to clean it if you have nothing to do in the future." ”
Yuan Bao'er's heart tightened slightly, and her face was respectful.
Closing the door, she washed the rag and dried it, and found a broom to sweep the yard.
When the people in the courtyard saw that the Lord had returned, they dared to slack off, and they were busy rushing over to do things.
Yuan Baoer took the opportunity to hand over the broom to the mother-in-law who gave the most courtesy, and went to the pantry by herself.
Gong Changyi and Gong Qing saw the scene outside through the window.
Gong Changyi smiled inexplicably, "Lord Han is a good family. ”
Gong Qing glanced at it and said undeniably: "Everyone is not fair, how can the small family be safe." ”
These words made Gong Changyi, who was sour in his heart, much more comfortable.
He smiled and said with a tolerant and generous look: "That's it, it's always someone else's family matter." ”
Gong Qing smiled, and followed his meaning and turned to talk about the search in the past two days.
"The Zhou family has never been seen, and people in the same village say that his family had had an argument with a pair of brothers who were looking for them, and that the elder brother seemed to have some skills, but he had fled earlier."
"I suspect they took people away."
Gong Changyi frowned slightly, "Look for it again, ask the in-laws of the Zhou family, and see if you can find anything." ”
Gong Qing received the order and said: "There is Lord Han's eyeliner in Zhoujia Village, and if his subordinates go over, they will inevitably be alarmed. ”
Gong Changyi frowned slightly, "You don't have to argue with them, but you don't have to back down." ”
"Just look at the proportions."
Gong Qing was obviously used to him early on, so he only answered and strode away.
Gong Changyi sat there thinking for a while, then got up and went to the study.
It didn't take long for Yuan Bao'er to come and ask her to send a letter out.
Yuan Bao'er took the letter, and before she could leave, she saw Gong Changyi's heavy eyes, she quickly put the letter on the table and timidly retracted her hand.
Gong Changyi couldn't help but smile when he saw her like this.
"It's a clever one."
He said: "Do a good job, and when I return to Beijing, I will bring you over with your family." ”
"You are young, and there are many opportunities for Jingshi, and any of them are better than nesting in this place to run errands for others."
Yuan Bao'er's eyes widened, and she looked like she had been hit in the head by a pie.
She endured it, and knelt down to show her loyalty, "Little monkey, thank you for your appreciation, and I am willing to serve the adults and horses." ”
Gong Changyi nodded with satisfaction and motioned for her to get up, "You go and deliver a letter, remember not to be known by others." ”
Yuan Bao'er took the letter and looked confused, "My lord, where to send it?" ”
Gong Changyi said casually: "Isn't that an address?" ”
Yuan Bao'er widened, her face was still confused, "My lord, I can't read." ”
Gong Changyi glanced at her and said lightly: "Send it to the Governor's Mansion, quickly." ”
Yuan Bao'er's face was abrupt, revealing a look of awe and reverence.
The corners of Gong Changyi's mouth were hooked, signaling that she could go.
Yuan Bao'er bowed again and again, retreated outside, and hurried to the outside of the courtyard.
Gong Changyi looked through the door and saw that her steps were brisk, but her expression was the same as usual.
Although he is illiterate, he is also a person who can hide things.
Yuan Bao'er didn't know why Gong Changyi handed over the letter to himself and not to his guards, but he understood that he was like this, obviously because he had scruples.
She came to the inn, paid a high price to deliver the letter, and then sold a candy man, and while eating, she came back with a sneak.
When she returned to the house, Gong Changyi was not there, so she went to the kitchen for lunch.
On the other side, someone had informed Gong Changyi of Yuan Baoer's whereabouts.
Knowing that she went out of the house on an errand without looking back, Gong Changyi smiled a little coldly and was a little proud.
"Don't bother with it in the future."
Since he believed a little, Gong Changyi didn't want people to stare at him, after all, he also wanted people to do things, and he couldn't let his subordinates know what he had.
The guard clenched his fists and left quickly.
Gong Changyi's slow appreciation of the buds will be hit.
There was a trail on the side, and there was a whisper.
