Chapter 303: There are good and bad
This night, Gan Peilin didn't sleep much, combined with the experience of being seized by Ao Xuan after the failure of Xuanqi last time, he sorted out the dark line of this king's power. In the end, some traces were found.
It's just because of this time, many things have been rewritten, and the past is not necessarily the same as the present, so you should be cautious before you start.
This night, Jiang Yu has been in the study. said that some political affairs have not been dealt with yet, but in fact they must be related to Jiang Yishen.
He didn't say it, he just didn't want to worry about it.
Outside the window, the sky was already bright, Gan Peilin rolled up the quilt and turned over, heard footsteps outside the door, and closed his eyes and pretended to sleep.
Jiang Yu pushed the door in, crept to the bed, looked at her emaciated side face, and couldn't help but lean down and kiss gently.
His lips were warm, and he gently pressed against her smooth skin, and it took a long time before leaving.
Gan Peilin kept his eyes closed, not moving, and couldn't tell what it was like.
Until Jiang Yu left, the door was closed. She opened her eyes slightly, and heard him tell his servants not to disturb her sleep.
For a long time, there was no movement outside the door.
Gan Peilin got out of bed, put on his clothes, and called people in.
"Why did Madame wake up so early and stop sleeping for a while?" Liulan's eyes were sharp, and when she saw the black blue under her eyes, she knew that she hadn't slept well last night.
"I don't sleep." Gan Peilin stretched his waist and cheered up: "I have something important to do today." Let's get dressed and dressed. ”
A few girls were neatly waiting for the dressing and changing, and brought the meal into the room.
Gan Peilin couldn't help frowning when he looked at the table full of delicacies: "In the future, if the governor no longer has breakfast in the house, cold dishes and side dishes, a bun or pastry, and a bowl of porridge and soup are enough." Lunch and dinner are also as simple as possible, with meat and vegetarian dishes. With that effort, we can use it for other things. ”
"But ......," Crispy Core said worriedly, "Even if there are so many dishes, the eldest lady still doesn't use much." If it decreases any more, will it not be a loss to the body? ”
"No, it won't. I'll eat well. Gan Peilin smiled gently: "After all, there is still a tough battle to be fought." ”
"Madame means ......" Yanzi looked at Gan Peilin as if she didn't understand.
"I was timid by nature, but I don't like to be calculated." Gan Peilin gently touched the corners of her lips, she lived enough in her last life, and she didn't fight for her own life. In this life, she chooses to repay her eyes and never condone those who hurt her.
"Let Chen Rui come in, I have something to tell you to do." Gan Peilin said while eating cold cakes.
"Yes." Brittle Core turned around and called Chen Rui in.
"Three things." Gan Peilin raised his eyebrows slightly: "Yanzi, there are not enough maids waiting in the mansion and they are not good-looking enough, you managed to select the maidservants who fit your eyes from inside and outside the imperial city, and send them to the Metropolitan Governor's Mansion in a steady stream." But not all of these handmaidens can be left, and they must be strictly selected. Make a noise. Let Chen Rui cooperate with you to disperse the wind, and let everyone in the imperial city know that we are the Grand Governor, and you want to enrich your mansion. ”
"Yes, ma'am." Yanzi glanced at Chen Rui, and the two of them responded together.
"The second thing, Chen Rui, you go to Xu Baisen." Gan Peilin raised his eyebrows: "Let him come to see me." I need him to do a show for me in the palace. ”
"Yes." Chen Rui nodded.
Gan Peilin said with a smile: "This third thing is also the most important thing. ”
His eyes fell on the crispy core, and Gan Peilin curled his lips and said, "I have already bought a house around here, and I will be able to clean it up in two days." Crispy Core has been with me for almost ten years, and it's time to have a home of my own. ”
"Miss......" Crisp Core was stunned, and then knelt down: "If the slave and maid don't marry, the slave and maid can't leave you." ”
"Silly girl, this mansion is near the Metropolitan Governor's Mansion. You can always come back and see me. Gan Peilin got up and handed her hand to Chen Rui: "Besides, Chen Rui is still the housekeeper of the Metropolitan Governor's Mansion." You have never left me, but you have another identity. ”
Chen Rui held the crisp hand, bowed his head and said, "Miss Xie is complete." ”
Liulan and Yanzi were very happy: "What day is the happy event set for?" ”
"When the house is cleaned up, I will buy some new clothes or something. The fast is three or five days, and the slow is seven or eight days. All into. Gan Peilin smiled very warmly: "I'm a person, I don't pay much attention to these." I have to work together, and every day is a good day. If you two like to pick your own day, you can ask someone to do the math. ”
"No need. According to what the eldest lady said, it's okay every day. Chen Rui responded happily.
Liulan smiled from ear to ear: "This groom official is really anxious, I wish I could carry the bride into the cave room now." ”
"Poof." The swallow couldn't hold back and laughed out loud.
The brittle face was hot and dripping blood. "You guys are so bad that you tease people like this."
"We are happy for you." What Liulan said was sincere: "We haven't served the eldest lady for a long time, but we really hope that you can live happily." ”
"Alright, that's it." Gan Peilin patted the back of the crispy hand: "Chen Rui has no parents anymore, and you don't have either." From now on, the two of you will be the closest people in the world. We must grow old together and help each other in this life. ”
"Yes." Chen Rui had a smile on the corner of his eyebrows.
Crispy Core burst into tears of excitement.
Counting the days, Ao Xuan's good days are also approaching. Gan Peilin recalled the day he married Ao Xuan, and his heart was involuntarily dull.
"Okay, let's not talk about that, let's do their jobs."
"Yes." Everyone responded, Yanzi stayed by Gan Peilin's side to accompany the meal, and the rest of the people withdrew from the room.
"King Yeqing, what's going on?" Gan Peilin asked.
Yanzi stared and said, "King Yeqing originally planned to set up a new mansion for Princess Ting's marriage. But Princess Ting insisted on staying in Ao Mansion. Therefore, King Yeqing asked the emperor for a decree, painted a piece of land behind Ao Mansion, and forcibly moved the original residents. Race against time to build a princess's mansion. Just like the Jiang Mansion and the Dadu Governor's Mansion, the two mansions are connected. It's just that they're progressive, not like we're back-to-back. ”
"King Yeqing also gave up for the sake of his daughter." Gan Peilin sighed: "Forcibly evicting the original residents may attract criticism." ”
"Yes." Yanzi nodded: "So the emperor used a lot of money to settle this matter." ”
"On the surface, the emperor is quite dependent on King Yeqing. In fact, he wanted others to think that he could only rely on King Yeqing. Gan Peilin said thoughtfully: "I'll write down a few names, and you will let people secretly check them." I suspect that these people are all the emperor's secret lines, just like Cheng Qian, the leader of Yulinwei who entered Jiang's mansion to search that day. ”
"What does Madam mean that the emperor has been cultivating the plank road openly and secretly Chen Cang for so many years?" Yanzi couldn't help but take a breath of cold air: "The emperor's city is deep enough." has always been in front of the courtiers and the people, pretending to be pretentious, but he prefers to be strong. It makes people think that he is strong on the outside, but in fact, he is strategic, which should not be underestimated. ”
"How can the emperor be so easy to deal with." Gan Peilin smiled a little coldly: "Otherwise, your master would not be able to endure it so far." As early as when King Shengqing rebelled, it was time for him to take advantage of the situation. ”
"This ......" Yanzi thought about it carefully, and couldn't help but tremble: "Madam, I can't complain that the master cares about you so much, in the whole world, I'm afraid you are the only one who knows the master's mind best." ”
"......" praised Gan Peilin and didn't know how to answer it.
After breakfast, the whole person is more energetic. Although he didn't sleep all night, Gan Peilin didn't feel tired at all.
"You go and do these things first, I'll take the time to look at the account books in the house."
"Yes." Yanzi nodded: "Slave maid, let people send it over." ”
Gan Peilin also has his own study. This is Jiang Yu's thoughtfulness, and he deliberately placed a room in a secluded place in her courtyard.
originally thought that the servants would submit the account books in the house, but they didn't expect that the ones who came with the account books turned out to be Ao Li and Cuiyun.
This Gan Peilin doesn't understand.
When did the account books of the Metropolitan Governor's Mansion go to Ao Li's hands.
"Madame, please don't be surprised." Ao Li knew her thoughts, and hurriedly explained: "The concubine originally wanted to find out how much clothing she had purchased after the beginning of spring, and whether she had already started to arrange various procurement matters before the summer came. Coincidentally, Yanzi asked someone to come over and said that the lady wanted to check the accounts, so the concubine brought someone to send it over in person. ”
"Sister Ao really has a heart." Gan Peilin slightly relaxed his lips.
"How can the lady see the outside like this, just call the name of the concubine between them." Ao Li could feel how annoyed Gan Peilin was with her.
"I'm a stingy person and a grudge." Gan Peilin said directly: "I'm afraid that Sister Ao is not very familiar with me, so she doesn't know my temperament." ”
Ao Li was stunned for a moment, and then smiled: "Why did Madam say that." Up and down the house, who doesn't know that Madame is the most tolerant. Even in Ganfu before, I had never heard of Mrs. treating the people around her slowly. Where did he come from being stingy and holding grudges. ”
"Far from it, let's just say that a year ago, my carriage almost hit a pedestrian in the market. It's my sister's good plan. But unfortunately, Ao Xuan saved me. If you want me to say, the Ao family still has a good calculation, and I can't ask the Ao family's daughter for this justice, and I even have to repay Ao Suo's favor. Inside and out, I have to repay the Ao family if I am afraid, the sister of the Ao family is so shrewd, it is naturally more suitable for you to manage the accounts. ”
"Madam......" Ao Li bent his knees at Gan Peilin, but he was not very reluctant, but he couldn't: "There must be some misunderstanding in this." I really didn't hurt my wife. ”
"Really?" Gan Peilin said with a smile: "You didn't hurt me, and you saved me." I was almost hanged that day, but you just threw everything out and put it under me, and you still have a faint pain in your body, right? ”
When Ao Li heard this, her body trembled: "Madam, you are not ......"
"It was the swallow who told me that you saved me." Gan Peilin deliberately said this to make Ao Li suspect that she was pretending not to remember. "So today, does Sister Ao want me to repay you this favor and hand over the accounts of the Dadu Governor's Mansion to you to take care of?"
