Chapter 60: Hidden Grid, Entrustment
The newly hung plaque is not only impeccable in color, but also very well-made in style, or should it be said that it is 'golden'?
The three words 'Yingyue Mansion' in the middle are golden, but look at the exaggerated big gold-rimmed frame!
It's as if it's telling those rooster and dog thieves, 'The owner of the house is very tyrant, come and grab it, come and grab it'.
But it can't be denied that the majestic courtyard of the old mansion of the Shen Mansion is not abrupt at all with this exaggerated plaque.
It can even be said that this plaque was made to match the old mansion of the Shen Mansion.
It's just that the three words 'Yingyue Mansion' and the handwriting in the lower left corner of the plaque make Gu Yanran feel a little familiar.
"This is ......" Gu Yanran thought about it, and immediately remembered, but she was shocked and shouted. It's Daddy's handwriting! β
What's going on?
What will be Daddy's handwriting?
Since she broke up with Gu Jingnian in the North Courtyard of the Protector's Mansion that day, she hadn't seen him again.
"Uncle, he still loves you very much." Lin Shangshu couldn't help but speak for Gu Jingnian. "Yesterday, when I left the Protector's Mansion after sending a congratulatory gift, I happened to meet my uncle.
After chatting for nothing, he said that he was going to make a plaque for you next, and when my uncle heard it, he said that he would personally write the name of the mansion for you.
My uncle went to the plaque shop with me, and personally paid for the production and material costs of the plaque out of his own pocket.
According to common sense, the golden part of the plaque of the mansion is pasted with gold foil, but the text and border of your plaque are cast with real gold.
After my uncle had written the lettering for the plaque, I asked him why he would agree with my cousin to move out of the Protectorate's Mansion. Lin Shangshu paused when he said this, staring at Gu Yanran's eyes. Do you know what my uncle said? β
Gu Yanran was silent. ββ¦β¦β
Lin Shangshu also knew that Gu Yanran's mood was quite contradictory at the moment, so he opened his mouth directly. Uncle he said......
There will be some unpeace in the house next, since you offered to leave, presumably it is the will of heaven, and he will not stop it. β
"Not peaceful?" Gu Yanran was shocked, grabbed Lin Shangshu's shirt and asked. "What does it mean to be not peaceful?!!
"Don't get excited." Lin Shangshu tore off Gu Yanran's hand and took a step back to make sure that he would not be affected again. "Actually, uncle, he knows everything.
He knew about the fact that you were deliberately smeared by Gu Qiuyu and Gu Kerou, that you were not regarded as a master by your subordinates, and that you were ridiculed and discussed by the people of Yeyu Imperial City.
A few days ago, you and your uncle had a quarrel in the north courtyard of the Protectorate Mansion, right?
That's all a plan that my uncle painstakingly worked out, which is to make others think that you, the daughter of the Protector Mansion, are not favored.
As for you, when I was furious, I said that I would move out of the Protectorate Mansion and set up my own door, although my uncle was shocked, he immediately agreed to your request.
Because in this way, you will not be involved in the dispute between the concubines and concubines of the Protectorate Mansion.
By the way, I'll tell you a secret. Lin Shangshu leaned into Gu Yanran's ear and said in a voice. There is a dark compartment behind the plaque, which contains what your uncle wants to give you.
However, my uncle specially asked me to tell you, 'The contents of the secret compartment are very important, and they will be taken out in three months.' β
## #εΉ½ε₯εΊ, the House of the Dead
In the atrium of the Afterlife Courtyard, there is a two-story octagonal attic with the most traditional Yeyu.
The second floor of the attic is transparent and bright, which is the place where Night Netherworld held a banquet to entertain Gu Yanran.
At this moment, there was no one else in the entire second floor except for the night ghost and Gu Yanran who was invited.
Gu Yanran and Ye Yin sat opposite each other.
Gu Yanran picked up the teacup in front of her and raised it flat on her chest.
"Thanks to the banquet and hospitality of the national teacher, Yanran is here to replace wine with tea, and do it first as a respect." After Gu Yanran finished speaking, she drank all the tea in the teacup.
"Huh." Night Nether smiled, and picked up the wine cup in his hand.
Gu Yanran saw that the wine cup was in the end of the night nether, and only then did she notice the wine jug standing in front of him.
"Wait!" Gu Yanran jumped up and snatched the wine cup that Night Nether had already handed to her lips, and yelled at him angrily. "Who made you drink?!!
I don't want to think about how hard I went to save you, and I didn't value my life so much...... If I had known this, then I should have died for you last night! β
Gu Yanran was angry, so she also forgot that the person she was roaring at now was the extremely noble 'National Teacher' of Yeyu Country.
Night Netherworld looked at his empty palm, and then looked up at Gu Yanran, who was full of anger. He frowned slightly. ββ¦β¦β
Gu Yanran saw that Ye Yin Ying's face was unhappy, and she realized what she had done.
βοΌοΌοΌβ Gu Yanran's heart froze, and she hurriedly stood in a slightly empty place, and bent her knees to plead guilty to the night nether. "Yan Ran has no intention of offending, and I hope that the national teacher will forgive me!"
"Trampling on his body in front of his life-saving benefactor, it is indeed the king's mistake, okay, get up, you can't be blamed for this matter." Speaking of this, Night Nether threw the wine jug in front of him directly out of the pavilion.
"Thank you for the grace of your innocence." Gu Yanran bowed down to the Night Nether, and then stood up and sat back in front of the banquet.
Night Netherworld looked at Gu Yanran, her eyes deep. "Don't you want to ask me why my life is hanging by a thread?"
"That's not what Yanran should ask." Gu Yanran didn't want to know about those things that might bring her a crisis.
Seeing that Gu Yanran was a little more restrained than just now, Ye Yin thought about opening up the topic. "By the way, listening to Forgotten Chen, it seems that you want to entrust the Netherworld Mansion to find someone?"
"Uh." Gu Yanran hesitated for a moment, but she didn't hide it. "Yes, I want to entrust the Netherworld to find someone.
Although I have heard that the Netherworld Mansion has not resulted in such a commission, I am willing to pay 10 million taels of silver to entrust it, and I hope that the National Teacher will agree. β
10 million taels of silver tickets, the silver tickets she received from her grandfather and mother-in-law respectively, are the amount of entrustment she decided to pay after considering the entrustment reference price given by Wangchen last night.
"Even if you don't take a penny, the Netherworld will definitely do its best to find the person you want to find, but in the vast sea of people, can you find that person...... This is a big problem, so I can't assure you that this commission will be completed smoothly. β
"It's okay, just do your best." Gu Yanran smiled in understanding at the Night Nether.
Of course, she knew that the chances of finding Nangong Xuanyi were slim, after all, the current monarch Nangong Yunhai sent people to search for several years but did not find any trace of him.
But Nangong Xuanyi is her biggest concern after being reborn, and it is also the thought that supports her to continue to survive in this Yeyu country, she can't give up easily!
"Tell me, who are you looking for?" Night Nether personally asked Gu Yanran for information about that person.
Gu Yanran pursed the corners of her lips, clenched the small hand hidden under her sleeve, and took a deep breath. "The person I'm looking for is the second prince of Yeyu Kingdom, Nangong Xuanyi."
