Chapter 160: Investigation
Because it was already afternoon when Fu Ze and Fu Jingwu came to the General's Mansion, they were visiting people in Kyoto in the afternoon, and if they visited rashly, they would definitely arouse suspicion, so even if the two of them couldn't wait to explore, they had to wait.
Mu Xin, Fu Ze, and Fu Jingwu made preparations, and set off for the Hou Ye's Mansion early the next morning.
Hou Ye's Mansion.
"Marquis Qiqi, General Mu is visiting!"
When the housekeeper received the news, he arranged Mu Xin and the three of them in the hall, and then went to ask Gu Zhenyue.
Gu Zhenyue was a little stunned when he heard Mu Xin's visit at first glance, although he and Mu Xin were officials in the same dynasty, they did not have a deep intersection, why did they suddenly come to the door today.
"Lead the way."
Although he had doubts in his heart, Gu Zhenyue still went without changing his face.
When I arrived, I saw Mu Xin, Fu Ze, and Fu Jingwu.
When Mu Xin saw Gu Zhenyue coming, his face was calm, and he got up and stepped forward: "Mu Mou came to visit today, and there are many disturbances, so please forgive Master Hou." ”
Seeing that Mu Xin was humble, even if he didn't know why he came suddenly, Gu Zhenyue's face couldn't help but soften a little.
Gu Zhenyue motioned for Mu Xin to sit down, "Where is General Mu, he will be a guest at the door, someone will come, and prepare tea!" ”
Gu Zhenyue instructed his subordinates to prepare tea for the three people, and did not ask about the identities of Fu Ze and Fu Jingwu.
"I don't know, what happened when General Mu came to the door today?"
Gu Zhenyue didn't come to do Tai Chi, and went straight to the point.
In the face of Gu Zhenyue's inquiry, Mu Xin did not panic and said slowly.
"I heard that the little marquis was going to get married, so I came to visit and brought some gifts."
Fu Ze and Fu Jingwu placed the gifts on the table, and then silently retreated to Mu Xin's side.
Seeing Mu Xin's actions, Gu Zhenyue understood.
In fact, recently, because Gu Qingcang was going to get married, officials of all sizes in Kyoto also came to visit, and even the emperor rewarded a lot of things, but he always felt that Mu Xin was relatively alienated from other officials and had never been enlarged, so he didn't expect this.
But thinking about it this way, it is actually reasonable, the same dynasty is an official, his own family does happy events, people send gifts to congratulate, and gifts are still exchanged.
After Gu Zhenyue figured it out, the expression on his face softened a little, and he became enthusiastic about Mu Xin.
It's not because Mu Xin's behavior of giving gifts pleases him, it's just that Gu Zhenyue admired Mu Xin very much early on, and he always thought that Mu Xin was not close to people, and he was the Hou Ye, so he didn't take the initiative to contact him.
Mu Xin's visit made the two of them suddenly open the conversation.
"In the middle of this month, my son Qingcang got married, and I also hope that when the general and his family come, my Hou Ye's Mansion will definitely welcome it."
Gu Zhenyue smiled heartily and patted Mu Xin, as if he didn't treat him as an outsider anymore.
Mu Xin gave up his hand and agreed, and the afterglow met Fu Ze's eyes, thinking of the purpose of their coming today, and motioned for him and Fu Jingwu to be calm and not impatient
Talking about the pleasant place, Mu Xin pretended to be curious: "I have always heard that Gu Xiaohou is going to get married, and I am free today, but I don't know...... Who did the little marquis marry? ”
Mu Xin's expression was just right, as if he was just curious and casually asked.
Gu Zhenyue didn't think much about it, but Mu Xin was also a little embarrassed when he said this.
"It's not from the Kyoto clan, my son Qingcang is happy, and it has been arranged in the house for the past two days, just waiting for the wedding to welcome the door."
Speaking of Liu Qianyu, Gu Zhenyue didn't show any rejection, but he didn't like it much.
This is not because Liu Qianyu has no background, but simply because he has never seen Liu Qianyu from the beginning, and he doesn't understand the specific situation, where he likes it inexplicably.
Originally, Gu Zhenyue also planned to explore and explore, but Qingcang's stinky boy didn't let him, no matter how he was about to get married, his father-in-law hadn't seen his daughter-in-law yet.
Fortunately, his wife had seen it and praised it endlessly, so Gu Zhenyue didn't care so much, otherwise where could he be so confused.
He also wants Gu Qingcang to get married as soon as possible, otherwise he won't be in Kyoto for a long time, and those who don't know still think that he Gu Zhenyue has no queen.
Of course, in addition to these reasons, the most important thing is that Gu Qingcang took the initiative to put it forward, how dare they oppose it, after all, if he finds him a lady, he will definitely not obey.
Anyway, their Hou Yefu doesn't need to seek anything through their daughter-in-law's family, so they naturally don't care about these families, as long as the juniors are good, they are happy.
Therefore, Gu Zhenyue did not hide it when he told Mu Xin, feeling that he was embarrassed or embarrassed, and he had to know sooner or later anyway.
Mu Xin heard Gu Zhenyue's words, thought about it slightly, and couldn't tell whether it was Liu Qianyu or not, just wanted to ask something again, to see if he could find a way to meet him, but he heard Gu Zhenyue say.
"That's it, let's not talk about these things today, just wait for the general to show his face on the day of marriage!"
Gu Zhenyue ended the topic with a wave of his hand, he wanted to discuss the art of war with Mu Xin more than this.
Fu Ze and Fu Jingwu's originally nervous and restless emotions suddenly became even more heart-wrenching because of Gu Zhenyue's words.
Mu Xin sorted out his emotions and knew that he couldn't ask any more, otherwise he would definitely expose something, so he had to respond: "What Hou Ye said is true, the letter will come from now on the day of marriage." ”
Gu Zhenyue was in a happy mood, firstly, the happy event was approaching, and secondly, he had a good communication with Mu Xin.
"General Mu won't go back at noon, I'll let my subordinates prepare food, and we'll eat at the house."
Gu Zhenyue patted Mu Xin's shoulder, and then said.
When Mu Xin heard this, he subconsciously wanted to refuse, but he immediately realized that they had not yet accomplished something, so he took advantage of the situation.
Seeing that Mu Xinying ordered Hou Ye Gu Zhenyue's food, Fu Ze and Fu Jingwu immediately understood something.
Finally, there was an opportunity, and they had come here, so they might as well stay and act on the opportunity, maybe they could know something.
Gu Zhenyue and Mu Xin chatted for a while, and then took a few people to the back garden, planning to order a pre-dinner wine first.
Gu Zhenyue and Mu Xin walked in front, while Fu Ze and Fu Jingwu followed behind.
The four of them were walking, and suddenly they were confronted by two small servants from the house.
"Meet Master Hou!"
The two little guys saluted, and Fu Ze and Fu Jingwu behind them were suddenly stunned, reacted and hurriedly looked over.
Sure enough, I saw Fu Shiqin and Fu Nian.
Fu Jingwu almost couldn't hold back and called 'big brother', but fortunately, he was quickly stopped by Fu Ze's eyes.
The four of them looked at each other, as if they had a lot to say for a while.
Seeing that the eldest brother and the fourth brother were about to leave away, Fu Ze's mind was spinning rapidly.
Suddenly thought of something, and couldn't help but speak: "I don't know where the thatched house of the Hou Ye's Mansion is?" ”
As soon as Fu Ze asked, Mu Xin immediately understood and looked at Master Hou.
Hou Ye didn't think much about it, and said directly: "Just let the next person lead the way......"
Gu Zhenyue's words were exactly what Fu Ze wanted, Fu Ze lowered his head to hide his active emotions and followed Fu Shiqin and Fu Nian.
Fu Jingwu looked at the back of the three people leaving, a little depressed.
However, Fu Ze had already said so, he definitely couldn't say that he wanted to go, if he wasn't joking, so Fu Jingwu had to honestly follow behind Gu Zhenyue and Mu Xin.
Fu Ze, Fu Shiqin and Fu Nian walked away silently, and only took off their disguises when they reached a place where no one was.
"Third brother! Why did you and your second brother come to the Hou Ye Mansion? ”
Fu Shiqin couldn't suppress his surprise and hurriedly asked.
And why did he still follow General Mu, Fu Shiqin had too many doubts.
Fu Nian was also puzzled, and when the eldest brother asked this, he also set his eyes on Fu Ze's body.
Fu Ze then told the two people about himself and Fu Jingwu being discovered by Prince Li.
Fu Shiqin couldn't help frowning after hearing this.
Not to mention that Prince Li found out that he didn't blame them in the slightest, and there was also Fu Ze's suspicion of Gu Xiaohou's marriage.
Both Fu Shiqin and Fu Nian fell into deep thought.
Fu Ze thought, "Big brother and fourth brother, you haven't seen that ...... What is the situation with the woman? ”
Fu Shiqin and Fu Nian shook their heads when they heard Fu Ze's inquiry, and their faces were also very helpless.
Fu Ze originally hoped that the two eldest brothers would know something, but where did he expect it to be so mysterious.
Fu Nian thought of something and wrinkled his nose: "I don't know if Gu Xiaohou has discovered the identity of me and my eldest brother......"
Fu Nian's words made Fu Ze and Fu Shiqin frown.
Although Gu Qingcang didn't react, it didn't mean that he didn't find out.
Suddenly thinking of something, Fu Ze's eyes darkened.
"I just heard from Hou Ye that Gu Xiao Hou Ye has moved the bride outside the mansion......"
Fu Shiqin and Fu Nian were surprised and a little puzzled when they heard this.
"I've been in the Hou Ye's Mansion with my eldest brother for so long, and I don't know about it."
It seems that Gu Qingcang really closed the bride's news very well.
But the more this is the case, the more the three of them doubt whether this person is Liu Qianyu.
Their subconscious tells them that it is, but what little sanity they have left tells them not to act rashly.
Whether it is or not, the current situation is definitely going to offend the Hou Ye Mansion, but if it is, then this offense is understandable, and they are not worried, but if it is not, they offend the Hou Ye Mansion It is very likely that it will affect the matter of finding Qianyu, which they do not want to see.
The three of them were very entangled.
"That'...... Will that be determined until the time of marriage...... Is it ......?"
After Fu Nian stumbled, he also felt discouraged.
Originally, they wanted to find a way to explore a thing or two, but now they don't know where they are taken to, how do they find it.
Reality tells them that the possibility of them finding it is very small, and the possibility of exposure is very high, otherwise everyone will transfer people in the house, and they don't even know at all.
In fact, there is no guess about the three and one of them, not that they can't guess, but they don't dare to guess.
It's all about......
What happened to Qianyu?
They may also guess that things aren't as good as they thought they would, but even so, so what.
They can't change what happened, but they just want Qianyu to come back safely, as long as she has theirs in her heart, nothing else matters.
The three of them looked grim, but they soon realized that they had wasted too much time, and Fu Ze had to say goodbye to Fu Shiqin and Fu Nian first, and return to Mu Xin first.
Although Fu Jingwu performed well during this time, Fu Ze was still a little worried about whether he could cope with it alone.
