Chapter 177: Go Ask

Jin Nian didn't want to say anything about Aunt Yi anymore, so she said to Xie: "I asked the kitchen to make a few light dishes, including shrimp dumplings and clear soup mustard greens. He turned his head and told Yingge to pass the meal.

Xie Shi hurriedly stopped her: "I came back after eating in Baolin Nunnery, you can go eat by yourself, and you can help me write a letter to your father when you go back, and you must always tell him about Yi Niang's affairs." He is not at home, Aunt Rong's affairs are all up to the old lady, and he didn't take Aunt Rong back to the house for mourning, and when your father comes back, I don't know if I will be blamed. ”

Jin Nian persuaded: "Even if my father is at home, I still have to listen to the old lady about the affairs of the family, so my mother doesn't have to worry about it." "Just look at the style in the house in the past two days, you can see that Aunt Rong's death has not even made a splash in the house, as if she has never existed.

Xie sighed, and told Jin Nian about Su Youhua: "A few years ago, it was said that the eldest brother helped Jingzhou's Tongzhi, but who knew that the Holy Decree would suspend the transfer and re-evaluate his performance." I don't know if there will be any changes in this performance appraisal, if your father can be transferred back to Yangzhou to take up a post, it would be the best. Brother Feng and Ming'er are both older, and they both have to study for the imperial examination, and if your father is at home, he can still give them a guide or two. ”

Mother suddenly said that she hoped that her father would come back to Yangzhou, and Jin Nian knew that her father had not told her mother about Yangzhou's salt industry.

She couldn't bear to look up at her mother anymore, and now she was begging Gu Yanyi for help, trying her best to transfer her father out of the Lianghuai region, preferably to Jingzhou.

This is a living tear apart of father and mother!

But in the previous life, the Yangzhou salt case was widely implicated, my father was imprisoned, my mother thought too much day and night, and finally died of illness before my father came out of prison.

Reborn once, no matter what, she can't watch the tragedy repeat itself.

Jin Nian pulled the corners of his mouth hard, and said with a smile: "It's not up to my father to decide where to serve, and now the decision on the performance appraisal of the two Huai officials is in the hands of Lord Qincha." According to the daughter, it would be good if her father could go to Jingzhou, which was the place chosen by the eldest uncle for his father, and it must not be too bad, and it was not very far from Yangzhou. "I thought about it in my heart, should I find an opportunity to ask Li Lie?

"My mother also knows that this is the reason." Xie Shi let out a long sigh, "As long as he can be safe and smooth, he can ...... anywhere."

Her gaze gradually softened, and Jin Nian's eyes couldn't help but turn red.

When I came out of Fuhuayuan in the evening, the first quarter moon had risen in the western sky, and it was not a few days before the fifteenth full moon.

The master and servant walked slowly along the corridor, the hazy moonlight sprinkled in the house, and the surroundings were quiet.

Jin Nian asked Yingge: "If I go to ask the British Duke about my father's transfer, do you think, will he reveal some news to me?" Li Lie doesn't look like a person who is easy to get close to, what's more, listening to Zhang's meaning, Li Lie is quite iron-faced and selfless.

Yingge held the lantern's hand for a moment and asked, "Isn't Gu Gongzi able to help over there?" "Or do you want to go to the British Duke again?

Jin Nian said: "I just want to prepare with both hands, in case Fourth Brother Gu can't take care of it, we can also have one more way." Her relationship with Gu Yanyi has been a little delicate recently, and the old lady warned her like that, she doesn't know how to face Gu Yanyi in the future.

What's more, on that day in Yuhu Spring, Gu Yanyi's meaning of his father had to wait. It would be best if she could ask for some news from Li Lie.

Yingge said: "Then have you figured out how to go to meet the British duke?" "The Salt Transport Envoy where Lord Qincha lived, there were guards with knives wearing Cheng Ziyi's clothes in front of the door, and ordinary people were not allowed to approach.

Going to see Li Lie was just an idea she had only come up with today, and she hadn't figured out how to meet him yet. Home

Yingge smiled: "I helped the young lady come up with a good idea...... Isn't the cuckoo quite familiar with Zhan Feng? What she meant was that Jin Nian didn't have to come forward, and asked Du Juan to help find out the news.

Jin Nian smiled, she forgot about this stubble. After Li Lie gave her tea at the post station outside the city last year, it was still the name of the tea that Zhanfeng told Du Juan, and she knew that it was originally called Baihao tea.

The next day, after Jin Nian went to Ronghua Hall to ask for peace and came back, she asked Yingge to call the cuckoo to the wing: "How many days have you been a sprinkler and sweeper, can you get used to it?" ”

The cuckoo was wearing a third-class maid's Ge cloth shirt, and stood in front of Jin Nian with her waist bent: "Adapt, before coming to serve the young lady, the slave maid is also doing sprinkling and sweeping beside the third lady." ”

Jin Nian sighed and said, "So, are you still addicted?" ”

The cuckoo shook his head hurriedly: "How can you still be addicted to sprinkling?" Over the years, the slave and maid have not done any rough work with the young lady, and they have not touched the broom for many years, and in just a few days, the slave and maid's hands have become calloused. But this is a matter of duty, and the slave and maid dare not slack off. ”

Jin Nian noticed that her hands didn't have the smooth sheen they had before.

She looked the cuckoo up and down again, but she lowered her hand respectfully, and did not even dare to raise her head.

I didn't forget to call myself a slave.

It seems that this punishment, Cuckoo's temperament has indeed converged a lot.

Jin Nian exhaled slowly, and told her to go to Zhanfeng to inquire about her father's transfer: "...... If you do a good job, the three-month penalty will be reduced to two months, and you will be allowed to return to me after two months. If not, you don't have to come back. ”

She didn't know if it was a clear reward or punishment if she did this. Originally, the cuckoo was punished to the yard for three months, but now because of his father's affairs, he has to make an exception.

Cuckoo was stunned, she didn't think it would be like this. Last night, when Yingge told her that Miss Tomorrow was looking for her something, she was worried all night, thinking that Jinnian must be driving her out of the house this time. She asked Mama Lin yesterday about what happened to Jinnian in Ronghuatang, thinking that Jinnian knew. She was punished for sprinkling and sweeping, and the lady's personal affairs were not something she should inquire about.

I never thought that it was the young lady who wanted to reuse her.

After the cuckoo returned, he sat down and changed into clean clothes, and left the house without stopping.

The morning sun was still very soft, so she first went to Jinchun Building to pack two boxes of rose cakes, and then went to Jingbei Street.

When passing by the mansion where Gu Yanyi lived, she glanced at it, and the door of the mansion was closed tightly.

Not far ahead, there is the two Huai salt transport envoys. There is a gilded plaque on the door of the palace, and two teams of guards wearing Cheng Ziyi are neatly lined up in front of the door.

Before the cuckoo could get closer, a guard blocked her way: "What are you doing?" No one is allowed to approach the Chincha-sama without being summoned. ”

The cuckoo was taken aback and hurriedly reported the name of Zhanfeng. The guards looked her up and down before ordering her to wait outside, then turned around and went inside.
