"Perhaps, you'll find out when you go." Gu Jinxi smiled.

Before the birthday of the old princess, the things that should be busy are all done, Ruan Cailing drinks and chats with Gu Jinxi in the attic every day, and the life is very comfortable, but every day Mu Bai will come to report to Gu Jinxi about the various situations in the capital, and the rest doesn't matter.

But only Ji Jingyan and Xie Qingyuan's affairs made Ruan Cailing particularly concerned.

She never thought that Ji Jingyan really liked Xie Qingyuan, and she had already told King Ping that she would marry Xie Qingyuan.

"What did King Ping say?" Ruan Cailing asked Gu Jinxi.

Gu Jinxi was lowering her head to help Ruan Cailing peel apples, and when she heard Ruan Cailing's words, she glanced up at her.

It was not the turn of Prince Xuan to do such a trivial thing as cutting apples, but Qingrui went to help Jingshu, and Mu Bai, a big man, had never done this kind of work, so he could only condescend to help Ruan Cailing in person.

The movements of his hands were very neat, Ruan Cailing supported his jaw with one hand and watched the smooth movements of his hands, Gu Jinxi didn't seem to hear it, and he didn't reply to Ruan Cailing.

"Jinxi, you don't look like you're the first to peel an apple! It's better than Qingrui! ”

The skin of the apple has never been broken from beginning to end, and a thread is connected.

Gu Jinxi cut a piece and sent it to Ruan Cailing's mouth, Ruan Cailing bit it in, Gu Jinxi said, "When I was in the house, I would help my grandmother peel apples, practice makes perfect." ”

It turned out to be the old princess!

There are only two days left before the old princess's birthday, and Ruan Cailing suddenly remembered that the gift for the old princess has not been prepared yet!

In the past, if you participated in any birthday banquet, Uncle Fan in the house helped prepare gifts, Ruan Qi and Ruan Su's one, Ruan Cailing and Ruan Xuchen, the two juniors, and finally decided to set a large portion of the Mansion.

But this time, since it was the old princess who personally invited Ruan Cailing to go, she thought about how she had to choose it in person.

"I've got something to go out for." Thinking so, Ruan Cailing got up and said goodbye to Gu Jinxi.

"Does the prince want to follow?" Mu Bai asked.

Recently, the capital has not been peaceful.

On the day of the wedding banquet in the Jingkang General's Mansion, although the third prince was picked up by his people, he was still injured, and the news of Mu Yizuo's assassination had reached the emperor, who was furious and ordered Dali Temple to find the murderer of the assassin as soon as possible.

The murderer must not be found, but late at night a few days ago, Gu Jinxi saw Mu Yizuo coming in the box of Yanhua Building.

He didn't look hurt at all.

It seems that this is also Mu Yizuo's plan.

During this time, Ruan Cailing was in the attic with Gu Jinxi, unless Ruan Xuchen and Gu Jinxi had something to talk about and needed Ruan Cailing to leave, otherwise she would be here except for the time when she was sleeping.

Gu Jinxi was also worried that Ruan Cailing would always run out and encounter danger.

After he was injured, the news of staying in the Dingguo Mansion overnight also spread, and people from all directions were staring at the Dingguo Mansion, although Ruan Cailing was not the only one, but the most dangerous thing in the entire Dingguo Mansion was her.

Nguyen Su's stay at home, there is no danger.

And Ruan Qi and Ruan Xuchen both have martial arts, and they are also surrounded by countless masters.

"You send someone to follow secretly, don't let Ruan Ruan find out."

"Yes."

Ruan Cailing doesn't like to be followed when she goes out, unless she is going to do business, she will take Jiang Chen to support the scene, otherwise she will only take a maid like Qingrui.

And today Qingrui and Jingshu were busy, she got into the carriage alone and left.

The carriage picked up Su Bangyue halfway through.

"Why do you want to go out today? You have been at home for more than half a month, and you have been fascinated by watching piano, chess, calligraphy and painting? Su Bangyue teased Ruan Cailing when she got into the car.

However, Ruan Cailing's headache was a gift for the old lady and princess.

"What do you think I'm going to give?"

The birthday banquet of the old princess will be attended by all officials and their families, and Master Su, the secretary of the Criminal Department, will also bring Su Bangyue's mother and daughter to participate, Su Bangyue said that the gifts at home have already been prepared, and there are several boxes of treasures that can be said to be named, not to mention all kinds of precious tonic such as thousand-year-old ginseng and snow lotus.

These things are estimated to be prepared in every household.

Therefore, if Ruan Cailing wants to choose a gift in person, she can't give these things.

"Why don't you go to Yancui House to see the jewelry? Hasn't the owner of Yancui Building recently put on a new batch of jewelry? Su Wanyue asked Ruan Cailing.

As soon as Yancui Building was mentioned, Ruan Cailing thought of Ji Jingyan.

Thinking about Xie Qingyuan again, my head hurts even more.

She covered her forehead with one hand, and waved her other hand, "That's it, when I mention Yancui Building, I think of Ji Jingyan, the recent news of Ji Jingyan and Xie Qingyuan really annoys me." ”

"Our family knows about it, and my father still asked me what happened to the county lord of Anyang and Xie Qingyuan."

Even Su Benyan knows?

According to the news inquired by Jiang Chen, Su Benyan and King Heping had a good relationship.

Probably King Ping and Su Benyan said!

"Today, I still heard from the people around my eldest brother, Ji Jingyan has already told King Ping, Xie Qingyuan will not marry!"

Su Bangyue opened the curtain and looked outside, it was lively outside at this hour, and the carriage was walking very slowly, otherwise it would be easy to hurt people.

As soon as she lifted the curtain, she saw the piano room where Ruan Cailing had gone to practice, Su Wanyue patted Ruan Cailing's thigh and said, "Eh, isn't this the piano room where you learned the piano?" Recently, Shen Yunyun is still learning the piano? ”

Speaking of this, after returning from General Jingkang's Mansion, Shen Yunyun's whole person was quiet.

Eating and learning the piano to rest, without making any trouble, Ruan Cailing followed Su Wanyue's gaze and looked outside, and sighed, "It seems that I am learning the piano, I have left early in the morning every day recently, and I only came back in the evening, and I didn't say a word, my mother also asked me, Shen Yunyun, what's wrong." ”

"Did you say Shen Yunyun and Xie Qingyuan were ......" Su Wanyue stared at Ruan Cailing with a sly look.

Ruan Cailing remembered that she had never told others about the relationship between Shen Yunyun and Xie Qingyuan, and that Jiang Chen had found out that Xie Qingyuan appeared in Shanyun Pavilion in the middle of the night.

She sighed, "This Xie Qingyuan and Shen Yunyun have been together for a long time!" ”

"Ahh Su Wanyue was surprised and covered her mouth.

Although she is a martial arts practitioner, she is also a lady, and she must feel shy and embarrassed when she hears such a thing.

"Jiang Chen once found out that Xie Qingyuan was in and out of Shanyun Pavilion in the middle of the night, do you think Xie Qingyuan just went to drink tea?"

"Then why is Xie Qingyuan still with An Yang?" Su Wanyue asked simply.

Ruan Cailing glanced at Su Wanyue and didn't speak.

What else could it be for? Even if Xie Qingyuan likes Shen Yunyun again, this person will not be of any help to Xie Qingyuan's future, naturally it is not as good as the luck that she and Ji Jingyan can bring to Xie Qingyuan, and even more, she doesn't think that Xie Qingyuan likes Shen Yunyun.

Or maybe he covets Shen Yunyun's body, or maybe he thinks that this person is helpful to his various schemes, anyway, he just uses it.

If you use it, you'll be kicked aside.

She died too early in her previous life, if she could hold on, maybe she could still see the picture of Xie Qingyuan and Shen Yunyun dog-eat-dog!

Forget it, Ruan Cailing said, "Don't take the topic away!" I'm thinking about what to give to the old princess! What do you want to do with these! ”

"Oh yes, I forgot, then you can't send gold, silver, gems or tonic medicine, do you have an idea of your own?"

Ruan Cailing, "......, "If I have an idea, why do I want to call you to help!"

"Stop!" Ruan Cailing shouted outside.

Sigh!

The carriage slowly stopped in the middle of the road, Ruan Cailing got out of the carriage with her skirt, although Su Wanyue was puzzled, she still followed Ruan Cailing, Ruan Cailing straightened her skirt and looked up and said to the coachman, "You first find a post station and wait for me." ”

"Yes."

The carriage left, only Ruan Cailing and Su Bangyue stood in the center, Su Bangyue turned her head sideways and asked, "What do you mean by this?" ”

What can you see in the carriage? She had come out to look for attention, and she had been sitting in the carriage, and the coachman didn't know what direction to go, so it was better to walk slowly by herself.

"See."

The two of them walked along the street, Ruan Cailing's tired legs began to sore and still didn't find a suitable gift, the old princess lacked nothing at all in her current age and experience, and what she gave was her heart, not to mention, the old princess was Gu Jinxi's grandmother, and she hoped to do her best.

But what should I give?

"I don't think it's as good as you do it yourself!" Su Wanyue pulled Ruan Cailing to find a teahouse and sit down to rest.

After drinking half a pot of tea, Ruan Cailing took a long breath, and when she looked up, she suddenly saw the small low house opposite the teahouse, which was a very prosperous market, but there was no crowd in the low house opposite the teahouse, but Ruan Cailing could see at a glance that the cloth clothes hanging at the door of the low house were gorgeous.

"Little Er, what kind of place is that?" Ruan Cailing shouted to Xiao Er and pointed to the opposite side.

Xiao Er was busy, and was suddenly taken aback by Ruan Cailing's tugging, and came back to his senses and looked at the other side, "That's right!" That's the most famous show in our capital. ”

"The most famous? But Yunxiu Fang? Su Bangyue asked.

Xiao Er gave Su Bangyue a thumbs up, "It's still this young lady who is well-informed!" This Yunxiu Fang has a lot of origins! I've been making clothes for all the ladies in the court! ”

I see, Ruan Cailing let go of Xiao Er after thanking her, her eyes rolled, and a good attention suddenly appeared.

"Let's go!" Ruan Cailing slapped the money on the table, pulled Su Bangyue and got up and walked to the opposite side.

"This young lady, please stay, we can't go inside!" As soon as I arrived at the door of Yunxiu Fang, I was stopped by a woman dressed as an embroiderer.

Su Wanyue was just about to open her mouth to reveal her identity, but Ruan Cailing stopped her, and she bowed softly to the embroiderer, "Do you have ready-to-wear here?" Worn by older people? ”

Xiuniang looked Ruan Cailing and Su Wanyue up and down.
