About Wang Yan, one of the most popular rumors in the imperial capital is that his parents died when he was a child, and there is only one sister and aunt in the family.

Inside the palace.

As soon as the sky was clear, Chunfeng had already come to say, "Miss, Autumn and September are back." ”

As soon as Gu Rong woke up, Yahuan Xiaocui was grooming her and choosing a hairpin, "Isn't Miss going out for a walk today?" How about choosing this step? She chose a golden step shake in her hand, which looked slightly swaggering, "Miss This is the first time to go out, it's always not good to dress too plainly, if you meet other young ladies, you won't be compared to others and lose face." ”

Gu Rong couldn't help but look at her twice, only to see that Xiao Cui was generous, with lowered eyebrows and eyes, and a well-behaved smile.

"How old are you?"

"The slave is eighteen."

"Look at the costumes."

As they were talking, Qiu Yi and September were already outside the door to plead guilty, "The subordinates are guilty!"

"Step down, it's nothing serious, don't just ask for guilt all day long."

When choosing clothes, Xiaocui picked a light green summer dress, from the inside to the outside, no matter how big or small, Gu Rong was quite satisfied, thinking that her brother was very attentive to her, this kind of girl, I don't know how long it took to be so smart and clear.

"From now on, you will serve in the house."

"Yes."

Today's weather is good, she planned to go out of the house with her aunt yesterday to buy some clothes and toys for her little nephew, and she was ready early today, had breakfast, and set off in a carriage.

I went to the largest ready-to-wear store in Luancheng, and the shopkeeper was a man in his forties, and when he saw them come in, he had greeted them warmly.

"This girl is so good-looking, I'm afraid it's the first time I've come to my shop."

Xiao Cui stepped forward, "This is my young lady, the shopkeeper can pick your best cloth, let my young lady pick it." ”

"Of course, a few of you, please...... Please ...... please."

The group waited inside, and the aunt picked several horses in a row, but she was not very satisfied, so she took the girl ring out of the room to see the cloth.

Gu Rong was idle, sitting at the tea table, this shop was magnificent, and the tea leaves were also good, Gu Rong drank tea, and glanced at the street leisurely, only to see pedestrians coming and going, and all kinds of shouts came and went.

She suddenly fixed her gaze, had already gotten up, and called urgently, "Chunfeng!"

"In!"

"Come with me!"

The two hurriedly went downstairs, the woman on the corner disappeared, Gu Rong hurriedly chased after her, and soon got away from the crowd and chased to the outskirts of the city, but there was no trace of them.

"Miss." Chunfeng felt bad.

I saw the trees tremble, and five masked men jumped down from the trees, and surrounded the two of them.

The woman came from the forest, wearing a veil, her posture was as graceful as a willow branch, and her apricot eyebrows were fierce, "Who are you?" Why are you following me?"

At this time, Gu Rong was dressed in women's clothes, and was tossed by Xiao Cui before going out, her face was ruddy, her temples were golden, and her clothes were in the most expensive style, which was very different from the appearance of the vegetables in Kangcheng, and the woman didn't recognize it!

Gu Rong smiled lightly, "Oh? I never thought that your eyesight was so bad, that you had no impression of the person who cut your face!"

The woman's eyes changed suddenly, she looked at her carefully, gritted her teeth for a while, and said, "It's you!" You're not dead!"

Xie Huayu is Dongyue's strange poison, she actually knows how to suppress it, and the woman is angry, "I underestimated you." ”

"Since I met it today, how about staying and talking?"

She took half a step back, and the five big men immediately surrounded the two of them, and now she just wanted to avenge her hatred, and said angrily, "Kill her!"

Five big men besieged and went up, Chunfeng's long sword was unsheathed, blocking her behind her, only to hear a sound properly, stopping the five people, Chunfeng's sword is deeply inherited, at this moment picking, splitting, and protecting Gu Rong, it is very easy, no matter how no one attacks, they can't get close to Gu Rong's side.

The woman's face was pale, and she couldn't imagine that there was such a strong guard beside her! Today, I was afraid that I would not be able to get results, so when the whistle sounded, the five big men retreated at the same time.

There was silence in the forest for a while, and Chunfeng wanted to chase after him, but was stopped by Gu Rong.

"No hurry, I have a hunch that we will meet again soon."

A bell rang from afar, crisp as a bell.

"Let's go."

Back at the clothing store, the aunt had already picked out the fabric, and was looking left and right, when Xiaocui hurriedly greeted her with a crisp voice.

When Aunt Gu saw her coming back, she was relieved, and couldn't help but blame, "Where did you go for this moment?"

"Auntie was worried, met a friend, and reminisced."

"I also picked a few pieces of fabric for you, you just came back with fewer clothes, make a few more, my Rong'er, is the most beautiful girl in the world."

Gu Rong recalled the way she looked in the mirror today, and she didn't dare to compliment this sentence in her heart, her appearance was not ugly, but if she wanted to say that she was the most beautiful, I was afraid that there were more people than her, she grabbed Aunt Gu and said with a smile, "Yes, yes, I am the most beautiful, let's go, Auntie, I'll take you to have a good look." ”

I bought some more things, and when I returned to the house, it was already noon, and a little servant came to pick up the things, and reported, "Miss, the master is waiting for you in the study." ”

Gu Rong instructed Aunt Gu to go back to the courtyard and go to the study to see Wang Yan by herself.

In the study, Wang Yan was worried about the invitation.

Gu Rong took the pastries she bought on the street and happily entered the door.

As soon as she entered the room, she saw the invitation on the table, she put down the pastry, and asked, "Big brother, what is this?" ”

"I came to you for this matter, I was ordered to go to the salt capital to investigate the salt tax case, and I will leave tomorrow, this ...... "He didn't want her to get involved in these backyard disputes, his sister should be free."......

Gu Rong knew that he had just taken office now, and there were a lot of trivial matters, and he would definitely not be able to take care of the affairs of the backyard, so he volunteered, "Big brother, just take care of your own affairs with peace of mind, and in the future, the affairs of the backyard will be handed over to me directly." ”

A few days after the establishment of the house, the trivial matters of all sizes in the house were almost piled up into a mountain, he was a seven-foot man, and his brothers were illiterate in big characters, and it was really difficult to say anything about the housekeeper, and when she heard that she was willing to accept it, a stone fell to the ground in her heart, and said, "In this way, I will let Wang Kui move things for you in a while." ”

Gu Rong saw that a table of dishes did not move a few bites, and after shopping for a long time, she was hungry, so she ordered someone to add dishes and chopsticks, sat down and ate. ”

"I got a secret order to investigate the prefect Liu Yong, and he was involved in several excerpts and embezzled the salt tax."

Gu Rong's heart sank slightly, remembering the past, and feeling tasteless after eating again, she put down the dishes and chopsticks, and said, "I remember that Liu Yong has been an official for thirty years." ”

"I don't know the specific time, the Da Li, Danyang, and Fengyang at the bottom are jointly on the book, and the situation is not optimistic."

Gu Rong lowered her eyes, saw the pastries on the table, and said busily, "Big brother, try it, Xiaocui said that the pastries here are delicious." ”

"Yes."

Gu Rong handed him a piece, and pinched a piece himself to taste, the pastry was sweet but not greasy, Gu Rong looked at Wang Yan thoughtfully.

Back in the yard, Xiaocui had already renovated the yard according to her preferences. In the hot summer, when Wang Yan was building a garden, he built a pond on one side and planted lotus flowers to eliminate a lot of heat.

"Miss, chilled sweet water."

Gu Rong raised her head from the table and saw Xiaocui entering the door with several bowls of soup and water, and for a while she thought that she had seen Qing'er's figure, and she was in a trance.

"Miss? Miss?"

"Huh?" Gu Rong came back to her senses and took a bowl, the bowl was cold and cold, and she knew that she had been in the well water for a long time. She saw that there were still five bowls on the table, and even if she could drink it again, it would be impossible for her to drink another five bowls, Gu Rong asked, "Why do you bring so many bowls?"

"Xiaocui doesn't know what flavor Miss likes, so she made some, and if Miss can't finish drinking, she can also reward a few sisters in the inner courtyard."

Gu Rong still didn't understand her delicate thoughts, and said with a smile, "Let's divide it." ”

Xiao Cui thanked her and went out with the bowl again.

Gu Rong sat down, there were scattered petals floating in the bowl, smelling the aroma was much more refreshing, and after tasting it, it was slightly sweet in her throat, and with a hint of coolness, it really cooled off.

As soon as he finished drinking, he saw Chunfeng leading people over from a distance, and he carried a few large boxes behind him.

"Miss." Wang Kui saluted her.

"Brother Wang."

Wang Kui heard Gu Rong call him eldest brother, smiled a little embarrassed, ordered someone to move the box closer, and said, "This is all the belongings, there are all kinds of trivial expenditure accounts, shops, and reward items, we don't count them specifically, and in the future, the matter of this inner courtyard will be lost to Miss Lao." ”

There were two large chests full of their respective belongings, as well as several ledgers piled on top.

Gu Rong didn't expect so many to be stunned.

"That'...... Then I have to go to the errand that my eldest brother gave me and say goodbye!"

She stared at the two large boxes, and after a while she held her forehead, feeling that she had no strength, she commanded, "Carry it inside." ”

Until it was dark, Gu Rong couldn't come out of the study, she called Chunfeng, Qiuyi, and September who were waiting in front of her very seriously, the sky was not yet dark, there was no light in the study, the woman sat at the desk, raised her head and looked at the three people in front of her.

All three of them are the same.

Gu Rong said quietly, "You guys? Who's going to look at the ledger?"

There was silence in the room for a moment.

After a while, Chunfeng, who was still the boss, opened his mouth, "Miss, among the six of us, Xia Ying and Holly, who can settle accounts, have been picked out by you......"

Does that mean? Gu Rong complained, remembering the calm appearance in front of her eldest brother today, no wonder Wang Kui ran so fast, was she afraid that she would regret it?

She waved her hand, forget it, let's do it herself.

The three of them retreated, and Xiao Cui's voice sounded outside the house, "Miss, I made a concubine mango today, as well as lotus leaf smoked fish, which are Xiao Cui's specialty dishes." ”

Gu Rong felt that she still couldn't let herself go hungry, so she put down the account book and went to eat.

I don't know where the eldest brother found this ghost, he can go down to the kitchen and enter the boudoir, but she can do everything that a good wife and mother know, from grooming and dressing up, to going out, everything is very small.
