Chapter 150: Sour Nectar
relieved Liu Rumei, Gan Peilin asked people to go to the Zen Heart Courtyard to say goodbye.
said that he was going out of the house to pray for blessings.
Mrs. Gan never stopped her from going out, but only told her to be cautious. I'm afraid it's an eventful time.
After leaving the house and getting into the carriage, Gan Peilin lifted the curtain and asked Liulan: "Look, is someone following us?" ”
Liulan paid attention for a moment and nodded slightly: "I looked skillful, but I didn't hide it carefully." Presumably, it was the Metropolitan Governor's people who were secretly protecting. ”
"Okay, find a small alley and stop the carriage." Gan Peilin couldn't help but panic.
Ryulan complied.
As soon as the carriage stopped, someone from Jiang Yu flew over.
Liulan didn't expect it to be Lu Yao.
"Miss." Lu Yao bowed his hand and saluted through the curtain of the carriage.
Gan Peilin couldn't help but worry when he heard his voice, and hurriedly lifted the curtain: "Did you not find that girl last night?" ”
"Yes." Lu Yao said with some self-reproach: "It's the subordinates who are not doing well." ”
"Nope." Gan Peilin looked at him solemnly: "I'm afraid this matter is not so simple. If you just didn't find that girl, it wouldn't be that the emperor urgently summoned your father to the palace. Is there anything else you haven't said? ”
"This ......" Lu Yao didn't dare to say more. After all, the master didn't tell him to tell the eldest lady.
"I know your concerns." Gan Peilin said quietly: "But you also saw it last night." Even if it was a rush, Jiang Yu didn't hide it from me. So you don't have to worry about him scolding you. Just tell me. It also allows me to guard against it. ”
"That's good." Lu Yao arched his hand and said: "The girls who disappeared last night were only three at the beginning. But with the young girl who suddenly disappeared this morning, there are already five people. The girls were the same, only 11 years old, less than 12 years old. There are no exceptions. Come to think of it, it should have been taken away by the same person. Or rather, being taken away by the same people. ”
"......" Gan Peilin fell into deep thought. Who is so bold to do such a thing in the imperial city. And where were those girls taken? What to do? Selling *** good for prostitution? Or is it a vendetta?
"Miss." Lu Yao saw that her face was not good, and he couldn't help but be relieved: "Maybe things will take a turn for the better." In short, the master asked me to tell you, these days as much as possible to avoid going out of the house, although the other party has a clear goal, the lost girls are eleven years old, but no one dares to guarantee that the next will not change. Your safety is the master's greatest concern. ”
"Thank him for the reminder." Gan Peilin lowered the car curtain, and there was an indescribable feeling. "Rulan, let's go home."
"Isn't Miss going to pray for blessings?" It's still early to see the time in Liulan, so I have to ask more.
"I'm not going." Gan Peilin sighed: "Natural disasters are allowed to seek the protection of gods and Buddhas. But man-made disaster...... Often, you have to find a solution on your own. I don't have the heart, let's go back. ”
"Yes." Liulan nodded slightly at Lu Yao and instructed the little servant to turn his horse's head.
"Wait." Lu Yao caught up with Liulan, who was about to get into the carriage, and whispered in her ear: "This is for you." Lives can be saved in a pinch. ”
Without waiting for Liulan to react, Lu Yao had already stuffed things into her palm.
"This is ......" Liulan wanted to ask, but Lu Yao had already flown away.
It was only after getting into the carriage that she opened the little box.
"Lu Yao gave it to you?" Gan Peilin looked at the exquisite box and couldn't help but have some ideas. "It seems that Lu Yao cares about you."
"Not really." Liulan's heart tightened: "Where did Miss think of it?" He was doing things for his master, and he didn't want the young lady to be in danger. Say that you can save your life when it is critical. ”
Opening the box, Rulan found that it was a ring inside.
"Can this thing save lives?" Gan Peilin laughed weirdly. "Don't worry, I'm very open-minded. It will never stop you from getting married. A rich dowry will also be prepared for you. ”
Ryulan took the ring and gently touched the bottom of the ring with her fingers.
With a whoosh, a silver needle flew out and was set on the wooden window of the carriage.
"Miss, look, I said that this is a hidden weapon for life." Liulan pouted: "I don't know where you want to go." Besides, Lu Yao is rigid and wooden, I'm not interested. ”
Seeing her serious appearance, Gan Peilin leaned close to the side of her cheek and asked, "Actually, do you have someone you like?" ”
As soon as she asked, Rulan's face turned red all at once.
"No, no." Liulan shook her head stubbornly: "I just want to find my brother, I don't want anything else." ”
"It's okay." Gan Peilin sighed: "This may be better." Sometimes, feelings are often a bond. Once you get into it, there are too few people who can control it. It's good to have no worries. ”
When Liulan heard her say this, she had to ask more: "Is Miss still worried about Wu Gongzi?" ”
"Worried, not worried." Gan Peilin calmed down: "Maybe it's not as worried as at the beginning." I don't know what he's doing. But I knew he must know what he wanted. Leave it to him. ”
Next, three times a day, we will taste the dishes, set up the venue, and select the fine wines. No matter how big or small, Gan Peilin looked at them one by one, just to be able to calm the hearts of his grandmother and father.
Liu Rumei ran towards her from time to time. Seeing that what she did was the way, my heart was also happy. "I said Peilin, if you are not in a hurry to get married, take charge of the affairs of the house for me. Anyway, if you marry Jiang Mansion in the future, you will also be the head of the house, and you will always be in power. It will definitely be beneficial to be able to learn a little more now. ”
"Hmph." Gan Peilin turned his face away: "What kind of little abacus did the sixth aunt think I can't guess?" You, at all, are afraid that Mo Yanqing will take advantage of your pregnancy and make it inconvenient to work hard to regain power. That's when I was pulled out as a shield. Then I can't mention any Jiang Mansion to make fun of me. ”
"You're a dead duck with a hard mouth." Liu Rumei sneered and said: "Then Jiang Yu and his people must have appearances and means." If you want silver, you are even richer. You said that such a good person still has a soft spot for you. Not married? Fools don't get married! ”
"The rich party?" Gan Peilin hadn't heard of this. "Isn't Jiang Yu also taking the court's money? It's not much different from Ganfu, right? ”
"Stupid." Liu Rumei stared at her anxiously: "What do you know?" In addition to the house and land rewarded by the emperor, our Ganfu has no other livelihood at all. It's a lot of silver, and I won't tell you, but I'll make it up. Even the money of Zhonggong is the harvest of the land every year. To put it mildly, that bit of silver can be regarded as nothing in the eyes of the traders. It is only Mo's rare. But Jiang Yu is different. He has all kinds of property in his hands. Silk and silk to the south, tea and tobacco to the north, and even we don't know how to make a living. Anyway, he knows everything in the business field. Before he became the Grand Governor, most of his efforts were spent on this. I heard that her mother's dowry that year caused a sensation in half of the imperial city. It is not unusual for a mother to have money, and a son naturally has funds to do business. ”
"I can't complain." Gan Peilin couldn't help frowning when he remembered the magnificence of Xinghualou decorated by him.
"You girl, you're so stupid." Liu Rumei knocked on her brain: "Do you think, which of those things he gave you is not priceless?" Without such strong financial resources, where did you get such a big deal? ”
"What he gave me......" Gan Peilin was a little embarrassed.
The things sent by Jiang Yu were all put in the warehouse by her. I don't even bother to look at it, so I naturally don't know the value of it.
"He's willing to do anything for you." Liu Rumei took Gan Pei's hand and said seriously: "It's only you who don't take it seriously." Others don't know how to cut their heads and want to come to him. ”
"Every time I am with Mrs. Sixth Aunt, I say this." Crispy Core came in with hot tea, and said with a smile: "I don't know, I thought that our sixth aunt and wife had taken a fancy to the governor." ”
"You girl!" Liu Rumei glanced at her: "What you said is really accurate." I'm really looking down on that Metropolitan Governor! It's a pity that people don't look down on me. ”
After saying that, she laughed sneered herself.
Not sure why. Someone used to say that Jiang Yu was good in front of her, but she was always very resistant. But now, he is gradually accepting some things about him.
"Mrs. Sixth Aunt, the master has returned home. Two distinguished guests were also brought. Xiangping walked in quickly and brought the hot nectar to Liu Rumei's hand.
"What is this?" Gan Peilin recognized that thing at a glance, and his heart tightened slightly.
"It's hot nectar." Liu Rumei said with a smile: "The newcomer to the kitchen is the best at mixing this kind of nectar." Strange to say, this nectar tastes sweet with a slightly sour taste, which makes people feel very comfortable. ”
"Give me a taste of it." Gan Peilin snatched it from Xiangping's hand and took a sip of it himself.
Liu Rumei was stunned by her move. She knew that Gan Peilin never cared about eating and drinking. It is even more impossible to be greedy for her nectar. "What, do you think there's something wrong?"
"Drinking too much nectar makes it easy to get stomach acid." Gan Peilin frowned slightly. "I'll have someone bring you sour plums."
"Okay then." Liu Rumei saw that she wanted to speak and stopped, so she didn't ask again. "Then I'll go back to my room first."
After she left, Gan Peilin tasted the sour nectar again. The taste was exactly the same as what she had drunk in Ao Suo's mansion in her previous life. It's not such a coincidence, the cook in Ao Xuan's Mansion and the one in Gan's Mansion are actually the same person, or are they from the same school, right? Then why does Liu Rumei drink exactly the same thing when she is pregnant?
In the previous life, she was greedy for acid during pregnancy, and never suspected that there was something wrong with this sour nectar, but now that she looks at it this way, there must be something wrong with it.
And those who are related to her and Liu Rumei are probably only Mo Yanqing.
"Crisp core, you go and call Chen Rui. Find out the origin of the new cook. Also, staring at the back kitchen, now that the Liu family is pregnant, all the people in the house must be cautious. I can't let them behave right under my nose. Gan Peilin's eyes revealed a rare majesty.
Crispy Core couldn't help but be stunned, and nodded hurriedly: "The slave understands, let's do it." ”
Gan Peilin put down the sour nectar, and his heart tightened slightly. It seems that if she persists in investigating, she will be able to find the answer.
