Chapter 282: Clever
Gan Jilu had lunch at the Metropolitan Governor's Mansion before returning to Ganfu.
In the past half a day, although she has been treated as a guest and treated politely, she is still tormented in her heart.
Back in the carriage, her body had been trembling slightly, and what came to her mind was Ao Jue's rudeness, and she didn't even treat her as a wife......
"Madam, there's a juggling team in front of you, blocking the way." The coachman spoke suddenly.
Gan Jilu came back to her senses and lifted the curtain. Sure enough, a troupe of jugglers performed in the lively street market, and many people stopped to watch, and it was not easy to cross a carriage on the originally spacious road at this time.
"Forget it, you move the car to the side of the road first. I happened to come down for a walk. Gan Jilu thought to herself, it doesn't matter if she goes back anyway, it's better to watch the excitement and relax.
She walked to a stall selling rouge gouache and picked up a box of powder.
The proprietress hurriedly said, "This young lady can't help it, this box of powder has been sold." ”
"I'll give you more money." Gan Jilu didn't plan to ask for it, but when she heard her say this, she didn't want to let it go anymore.
"This is not good, this is ordered by the old customer, and it took several months to send it to other places, just such a box......"
Gan Jilu gave the maid beside her a look. Then the maidservant took out a mina of silver and gave it to her.
"No, girl, it's really not for this silver......"
"That's it." The woman's voice was pleasant: "Since she likes it, give it to her." ”
Gan Jilu immediately turned around and saw Xue Baoyun wearing a graceful light veil on her shoulders, looking like a noblewoman, and the frost on her face instantly became warmer. "It turned out to be Mrs. Taiwei. Lady Lu is polite. ”
She handed the fat powder to Xue Baoyun.
"Take it if you like. This color is pink and suitable for you. Xue Baoyun smiled: "Why are you so free to come to the market?" ”
"I went to the Metropolitan Governor's Mansion to visit the Metropolitan Governor and his sister." Gan Jilu said with a smile: "When I returned home, the road was blocked by the drama team, so I came down and walked." I didn't expect to meet Mrs. ”
Holding this box of fat powder in her hand, Gan Jilu was a little suspicious in her heart. If the rumors in the imperial city are true, Xue Baoyun wants her sister's life, then deliberately getting close to her at this time must have a purpose.
"It's not too early, madam, you take your time strolling, and you'll be out of company." As Gan Yulu spoke, she put the box of fat powder back in its place. She likes fat powder, but prefers the feeling of competing with others. But I don't like to be bought like this.
"The road is still blocked." Xue Baoyun took a step forward and held her onion-like fingertips with a smile: "There is a teahouse over there, and the pastries are good, why don't you sit with Mrs. Ao." ”
The road was indeed still blocked, and Gan Jilu couldn't refuse too directly, so she nodded.
Xue Baoyun walked into the restaurant one step ahead of her, and instructed Xiao Er to lead the way and find a suitable private room.
Gan Jilu followed in at this time, and that mood was not easy.
At this time, Gan Peilin was sleeping soundly.
After lunch, people love to be sleepy, and they have eaten less, so they don't feel bloated and uncomfortable when they sleep.
Yanzi came in lightly, and saw Jiang Yu sitting on the soft couch next to him with a pen, but his eyes looked at the sleeping person on the couch from time to time. It's a pleasant picture.
"Say it." Jiang Yu put down his pen and glanced at Yanzi lightly.
"The second lady of Ganfu was invited into the teahouse by the old lady in the market." Yanzi's tone was slightly cold: "I went directly into the elegant room." Hei Yan vaguely heard the old lady inquiring about the situation in the mansion through the door, as well as the injuries and deaths of the master, you and your wife. Before leaving, the old lady also gave the second lady a box of rouge. ”
As soon as Yanzi finished speaking, Crispy Core gently pushed the door open.
"Governor, someone sent a box of rouge to our house, saying that it was for Madame." Crispy Core handed over the rouge.
The swallow took it, opened it neatly, and immediately recognized the taste of rouge.
"Isn't this the box that the old lady gave to the second lady of Gan Mansion?" Yanzi raised his eyebrows: "I heard that it was just sent to the imperial city, just such a box." ”
Jiang Yu didn't make a sound, but he knew what Xue Baoyun was going to do.
Yanzi also immediately understood that the second lady of Ganfu wanted to rely on her sister and brother-in-law after all. I can't wait to send Rouge over to show my sincerity. "Master, this fat powder is pink and beautiful, but the taste is too strong. Madame has always liked fresh and elegant smells, and she will definitely not use them. ”
"Where did it come from, and where did it go?" Jiang Yu only said these six words, which were enough to express his disgust for Xue Baoyun.
Gan Peilin didn't know when he got out of bed, and walked over and took the rouge from Yanzi's hand. "This rouge seems to be produced by Qibao Xinglou."
She turned the rouge over, and sure enough, there was the sign of Qibao Xinglou.
"Jiangnan's rouge can be made so pink. Sure enough, it is more pleasing than the color in the imperial city. Gan Peilin took the puff and gently dipped it in the fat powder and patted it on the back of his hand. It's very close to the skin and smooth.
"Mother gave me such a good thing, I naturally want to be a subordinate." Gan Peilin's face was slightly happy. "It's just that most of the gifts I can take out are gold and silver vulgar things, and my mother won't like them. It's not as good as ......."
A gentle smile appeared on his face, and Gan Peilin hooked his lips slightly: "I personally concocted a spice and sent it to the Taiwei Mansion for my mother." The right is to thank her for always thinking about me. ”
From her eyes, Jiang Yu didn't see at all that she had any problems with Xue Baoyun.
If he hadn't seen Xue Baoyun's ruthlessness when he wanted to kill her, he really couldn't believe that such a thing existed.
"No need, whatever you want to give, I'll let people buy it." Jiang Yu didn't want her kindness to be trampled on at will. "Just stay at home and recuperate, and don't worry about these things."
"How so?" Gan Peilin smiled warmly: "When I got married, I asked Crispy Core to bring me tools and utensils for making spices, and even the incense materials were prepared, so I could make them without leaving the house." Besides, I learned these things from my mother when I was young, and I am so easy to do it that I don't feel tired. ”
Jiang Yu's eyes flashed as he watched her speak. I thought she must have enjoyed doing this.
"Okay." Jiang Yu nodded briskly: "If you want to do it, I will accompany you." ”
It was rare for Crispy Core to see that Gan Peilin was interested, and after a while, he filled the next room with bottles and jars, enamel bowls, and even medicine pestles.
A number of curious servants also came over to take a look, and it was very lively.
"Madam, everything is ready, but the divine doctor is here, and I want to give you a peace pulse first." The swallow led the doctor in.
"Then you all go to the side compartment and wait for me, and I'll come over when I'm done." Gan Peilin called the crispy core: "You can stay with me." ”
Jiang Yu wanted to accompany her, but when she said this, she seemed to have some careful thoughts.
didn't force it: "I'll wait for you in the side room." ”
"Okay." Gan Peilin smiled slightly, watched him out, and made a look to close the door with Crispy Core.
"What kind of drugs can make people dependent?" Gan Peilin frowned and asked the divine doctor: "And it is easy to hide in the spices, and it is not easy to be detected." ”
"Madam, what are you ......?" the doctor wanted to ask, but after thinking about it, it seemed that he shouldn't ask.
"I had to have a reason to meet the people I wanted to meet. I want to know something out of her mouth. Gan Peilin raised his eyebrows slightly: "Only you can help me." ”
Because of Gan Peilin's cooperation before, Wu Wei was rescued from Jiang Yu's hands. Even if the divine doctor owes him a favor, he can only nod.
"I'll come tomorrow and bring it to Madame." So says the miracle doctor.
"Then it's tiring." Gan Peilin handed him his hand.
The divine doctor asked for a pulse, and said with a gentle face: "Madame's body is recovering quickly, and it seems that even her mood has recovered quickly. ”
"There's a lot of work that hasn't been done, and we can't waste time on it." Gan Peilin lowered his voice and asked, "Jiang Yu's injury ...... Is it heavy? ”
"There is no injury to the vital point, most of the governors are strong, and it will be okay to recuperate for a few more days." The divine doctor gasped: "But madam, you are really accurate at that moment." If the dagger is an inch longer, Hua Tuo can only sigh helplessly. ”
Gan Peilin really wanted to kill Jiang Yu at that time, Ao Jue had taught her the exact location, how could she miss.
"Madame still attaches great importance to recuperation, and must not be full of worries and affect herself. You always have to remember that you can't fluctuate too much. The miracle doctor carefully reminded her that it was because of the three medicines she had taken before, which hurt her heart. This kind of recuperation has to be very slow.
"Thank you, Doctor." Gan Peilin found an opportunity to get close to Xue Baoyun.
This time, there was such a big fuss. She didn't want to come in. Then it could only be her going to Jiang's Mansion. I have to find a way to ask the truth about the year.
She didn't want to waste any more time, and her obsession became deeper and deeper.
I didn't expect things to go well.
In just half a month, Xue Baoyun couldn't hold her breath and set up a peach blossom banquet in Jiang's mansion, inviting high-ranking officials and ladies in the imperial city and daughters of various families to taste tea and try dishes. The name is beautiful, the queen's birthday is approaching, and she wants to offer delicious food to the mother.
Of course, Gan Peilin knew that this was just an excuse for Xue Baoyun. When she tried her best to meet Xue Baoyun, the other party was also anxious to repair the relationship with her.
Very good.
"Madame, the Metropolitan Governor is back." The swallow hurried in. "The slave has prepared dinner."
This was the third day of Jiang Yu's reign, and Gan Peilin didn't notice anything unusual about him. He never asked about the situation between the DPRK and China.
As soon as she walked to the door, Jiang Yu had already arrived.
The bamboo-like slender fingers held her hand affectionately and helped her out of the threshold. "How much did you eat for lunch?" Look at you've been thin for the past two days. ”
"Lunch is crispy and swallow cooking, and it tastes good." Gan Peilin stroked his face: "I used it a lot." It's just that it's so easy to get fat all of a sudden. Besides, it's fat, and it's not so obvious. ”
"I can see even the slightest changes in you." Jiang Yu shook her hand: "It's warm these days, can I take you out of the city to hunt?" ”
"When will you be back?" Gan Peilin asked.
"Three or five days." Jiang Yu looked at her eyes gently.
"But three days later, my mother held a banquet in Jiang's mansion, and I promised to go over to help." Gan Peilin said with a smile: "Otherwise, I will go out of the city after the peach blossom banquet comes." ”
Jiang Yu didn't say anything, he knew about the banquet, and he just wanted to take Gan Peilin to avoid this situation.
"Okay?" Of course, Gan Peilin knew his thoughts, but he asked on purpose.
"Okay." Jiang Yu didn't say anything more, just nodded.
