Chapter 053: Passing the Message

Because of the assassination of the eldest prince, for a month, everyone in Su Mansion acted a little carefully.

Therefore, when the Mid-Autumn Festival arrives, the house is suddenly lively.

Early in the morning, the Liu family arranged for the maid to clean the house again, and every corner was cleaned clean. She also ordered the kitchen steward to tidy up the kitchen, prepare the kitchen utensils, and just wait for the fresh ingredients to be brought into the house.

During the festival in the house, the old lady spoke early in the morning, and she was not allowed to go out to admire the moon at night, so she doubled the reward for everyone in the house, and everyone was full of smiles.

In the small building of the mirror flower, Du Juan and Yingge removed the Xia He screen and replaced it with the Su embroidery screen of Chang'e running to the moon. The two looked around the room again, but still felt that it was not festive enough.

Yingge proposed to Jin Nian: "Miss, why don't you open the treasury and replace all the vases on the Duobao Pavilion?" ”

It's rare for the maids to be so active, Jin Nian nodded, and let them fiddle at will.

Yingge went to the warehouse, and when she came back, she secretly glanced at Jinnian, and saw that she was in a very good mood, so she asked carelessly: "Miss, Gu Gongzi's umbrella is still with us......"

Last time in the back mountain, Gu Gongzi gave the umbrella to the young lady, and when he came back, the young lady began to be busy copying the scriptures, afraid that she had forgotten to return the umbrella.

The cuckoo on the side was quick and said first: "What's so difficult about this, today's Mid-Autumn Festival, Gu Gongzi should come to the house, just give it to him then!" ”

When Jin Nian heard this, his brows frowned slightly, Gu Yanyi and Su Jintong had a falling out, maybe he wouldn't come to the mansion again in the near future, and besides, if he returned the umbrella to Gu Yanyi in the mansion, he might be respised by someone with a broken mouth.

It's better to give it back to him quietly.

The idea was certain, so Jin Nian ordered: "Du Juan, you wait and ask the eldest brother, see where Gu Gongzi lives, you quietly send the umbrella to him." By the way, I will go to Lu Mansion and help me deliver a letter to Miss Lu. ”

As she spoke, she gave the letter she wrote to Lu Jingxian to Du Juan, she can't go out during the Mid-Autumn Festival this year, she has to tell Jingxian the news, lest she still look forward to going out with Su Fu to enjoy the moon.

When Yingge heard this, she quietly glanced at Jinnian, and saw that her face was calm, without the indifference and impatience when she mentioned Gu Yanyi in the past, and thought of the two handfuls that were erected alone in the corner of the warehouse, Yingge sighed secretly in her heart.

The two maids went back to the room of the next person who sat upside down together, Yingge saw that the cuckoo was still rubbing in the room, flipping through and looking at the family letter in his hand but he didn't mean to move, so he said a little anxiously: "Why don't you leave the house yet, it's later, but it's noon, and you can read a letter from home for half a day?" ”

As she spoke, she reached out and snatched the letter from the cuckoo's hand.

This made the cuckoo anxious, she jumped up in a hurry, and begged Yingge for mercy: "Good sister, don't make trouble, return the letter to me quickly, Second Brother Tie is going to join the army, I'm worried!" ”

At the beginning of the year, Du Juan's parents wrote to say that they had given her to the iron second pillar in the village, and they would only get married when she was released from the house when she reached the age, which Jin Nian and Yingge knew.

Yingge saw that she was really panicked, so she returned the letterhead to her, and said: "Miss asked you to go to Gu Gongzi to return the umbrella, and asked you to send a letter to Miss Lu, don't patronize your good second brother and delay the business that Miss ordered ......"

The cuckoo took the letter back, and when she saw the cuckoo talking to her, she immediately straightened her attitude and said, "I'll go ...... now."

Yingge was satisfied: "You go early and come back early, I'll go to the outer courtyard to find the young master to get the script, and the young lady is waiting to read it." ”

Du Juan was puzzled: "The young master is a scholar, how can there be a book read by a woman in the boudoir?" ”

Yingge smiled, "The young master sent it to the young lady." "Last time, I was afraid of goofs, and the box of scripts was carried back to Jingmingxuan by Xie Qian, but then I never found a chance to send it over.

The young master dared to carry his wife behind his back to send the young lady's notebook?!

This... The cuckoo's eyes rolled, and with an oh sound, he responded.

As soon as Yingge left, Du Juan pondered for a while, read the letter in his hand from beginning to end, then changed his clothes and went to the outer courtyard to find Su Ziang and ask Gu Yanyi's address.

When Du Juan arrived at Gyeongbukk Street, the door of the three-entry house was locked, and she had to slam the door hard.

With a "squeak", the door was opened by a young guard with a cold face and wearing a flying fish suit.

Du Juan's heart jumped, thinking that she had gone to the wrong door, she took a step back, and when she was about to ask, she saw from a distance that the little girl Shaquan beside Gu Yanyi was about to come out.

Yes, that's right! She breathed a sigh of relief and called Sha Quan to hand him the umbrella and leave, but Sha Quan stopped her.

Gu Yanyi invited her in to talk!

Du Juan was suddenly a little flattered, Gu Yanyi was such a high-ranking person, how could he still remember her?

She was apprehensive and followed Shaquan to the study.

Gu Yanyi was practicing calligraphy, and when he heard movement in front of the door, he put away his pen, looked at Du Juan, and asked lightly, "What did your young lady say before she sent you?" ”

Listening to this tone, there was no surprise at all, as if she had known that the young lady would send someone to return the umbrella!

The cuckoo gathered his mind and replied respectfully: "Miss didn't say anything!" ”

The corners of Gu Yanyi's mouth are slightly hooked, this is like her cautious temperament!

Seeing this, Sha Quan's heart jumped, and since the assassination of the eldest prince on the Midyear Festival, his own son has not laughed again.

He quickly withdrew his gaze and continued to listen to the conversation between the two.

I only heard Gu Yanyi say: "Recently, what have your young ladies been busy with?" ”

When asked this, Du Juan was relieved, Gu Yanyi left her to inquire about Miss!

As the eldest maid of the young lady, how dare she casually talk about the young lady in front of a foreign man?!

She had no choice but to purse her lips and not speak.

Gu Yanyi didn't force her, and Sha Quan on the side urged: "Say it quickly, the son is waiting for you to reply!" ”

Du Juan glanced at the silent Gu Yanyi and lowered his head again.

Sha Quan was displeased, and sneered: "I heard that your fiancΓ©'s name is Tie Erzhu, and he will enlist in the army at the end of this month, and he will go to the army of Zhennanhou, you also know that a few days ago, Jiaozhi just attacked the southwest, and now the southwest is not very peaceful, if you are more interesting, I can arrange for him to enter the camp without going to the battlefield......"

Sha Quan spoke very slowly, but word by word shocked Du Juan's heart, she looked at Gu Yanyi and Sha Quan in horror, and opened her mouth slightly and couldn't speak.

Gu Yanyi sat in front of the table, sipping tea with a tea cup very patiently, the rim of the cup covered his thin pale pink lips, and only those deep eyes revealed a cold light, completely lacking the warm appearance of the past.

After a long time, the cuckoo came back to her senses, and she muttered: "I'm not busy with anything, just read the script...... Oh, the young master is here, and he wants to send the young lady's notebook......"

She squeaked, but she got to the point.

Sha Quan sighed in his heart, this girl is a smart girl, she understands what the young master wants to know!

Gu Yanyi didn't embarrass her anymore, he put down the teacup expressionlessly, and still said, "In the future, if there is any news, pass it on to Shaquan." ”

After he finished speaking, he picked up the pen on the table and wrote with ink, never thinking that the cuckoo would refuse.

When she left Qingbei Street, Du Juan was still a little confused, blaming herself for betraying Miss, and comforting herself that this was for her Erzhu brother......

It wasn't until she arrived at Lu Mansion that she barely cheered up and brought Jin Nian's words to Lu Jingxian: "This year's Mid-Autumn Festival, the old lady does not allow the young lady and young master in the mansion to go out ......"

Her letter was presented to Lu Jingxian.

Lu Jingxian took the letter, her face could not hide her disappointment, she waved her hand: "I know, you go back and tell your young lady, in a few days, I will go to find her." ”
