Qu Song was always worried when he saw his mother Meng, so in order to comfort one or two, he smiled and said: "Mother doesn't know that Guan Ming Li Tong will be imprisoned in Dali Temple tomorrow, and there is no one in charge of the household department, and the saint has temporarily handed over the household department to his father's control." ”

"Is that true?" When Meng Shi heard this, he was really pleasantly surprised, "Great, the master has been in the position of the right attendant of the household department for several years, and now he finally has a bright future." ”

Qu Hong smiled indifferently: "What is the beginning of the day, I only know the food of the king, bear the worries of the king, not to mention the trust of the saint, for the courtiers, should bow down to repay the grace of the saint." ”

As he was talking, the maids outside spread the word, and the big maid Coral beside Mrs. Qu came over.

Coral came in and saluted, "The old lady asks the eldest master to come over." ”

The Meng family knew that it must be for the sake of Qu Hong's being left in the palace by the holy decree, and the old lady Qu was worried about it, but she didn't show it at the banquet.

Qu Song followed Qu Hong to the upper room of Old Lady Qu, where Meng's heart was greatly settled, and seeing that Lu Jiayue was still sitting on the side, he urged her to hurry back to the room to rest.

Lu Jiayue responded blankly, and came out with Xin Zhu.

All the way back to Chuntangju, Lu Jiayue only lowered her head and pursed her lips, looking uncertain.

Xin Zhu sensed that something was wrong, and tightened the cloak behind her for her, "Miss, what's wrong?" What's uncomfortable? ”

Lu Jiayue shook her head indifferently.

Uncle Qu Hong's words still ringed in her ears.

Tong Baili, the governor of the two Huai salt transports... Tobe Shangshu Guan Ming... The two Huai salt transportation tax silver case......

She had overheard this case from Qu Hong in her previous life, and she also remembered the names of Tong Baili and Guan Ming very clearly.

Because of these two people, on the same day, one was assassinated on the way back to Beijing, and the other died violently in the prison of Dali Temple.

Since the founding of the Yan Dynasty, it has gone through nine emperors, and in 238 years, it was the first time that an important minister of the court was assassinated.

This matter is appalling, and it is spread in Kyoto, even if he lives in the boudoir, Lu Jiayue can't help but hear about it. It's just that after hearing about it in her previous life, she only felt frightened and scared, but now she thinks about it again, but she vaguely feels that there seems to be something else in it.

According to Qu Hong, Tong Guan and the two are the main culprits in the two Huai salt tax and silver cases, and the tax and silver case is the Shengshang's personal judgment, who has such the courage to assassinate Tong Guan and the others without fear of the thunder of the Shengshang?

What's more, Tong Guan and the others committed the capital crime of raiding their homes and destroying their doors, and sooner or later they will inevitably die, so why should the real murderer behind the scenes make another assassination?

The harder Lu Jiayue tried to ponder, the more chaotic the thoughts in her mind became.

When the truth doesn't come out of nowhere.

In the end, he could only shake his head and stop thinking about it.

What's more, what do you want to do so much? The left and right have nothing to do with themselves, and have nothing to do with the Qu family, so let him go.

In a blink of an eye, it was the first day of the winter month, and since the morning on this day, Lu Jiayue hid in Chuntang Ju and laughed with a few maids for a long time, and she didn't even go to greet Meng.

Just because I don't want to meet Qu Rong.

In the afternoon, Xiaoshun Xiaocheng came quietly.

The maids were all sent out, and the two little maids began to praise Lu Jiayue.

"Miss is really like a god, the young master of the Lou family really bought a house in Longshengfang the day before yesterday, and today he is adding furniture and ornaments and hiring a maid."

Lu Jiayue just played with Juxiang Yuxiang to catch stones, won several in a row, and was in a good mood, and smiled leisurely when she heard the words: "Can you inquire clearly, which day will you move in?" ”

"The newly bought mother-in-law didn't keep the door open, and as soon as I inquired, I said that on the fourth day of the next month, the young master of the Lou family personally took the Xiangruan girl into the house."

"Very good," Lu Jiayue nodded, "It's just that I remember that Longsheng Fang is a business shop, and most of the shops in it are for business, why did Young Master Lou buy a house there?" ”

When the two little guys heard this, they couldn't help but feel strange in their hearts.

Has Miss Fei been to Longsheng Place? Why does the lady's tone seem to be familiar with the situation in Kyoto?

The two of them only speculated, but they couldn't imagine that Lu Jiayue had lived in the Qu family for three years in his previous life, and he was not very familiar with the situation in Kyoto City, but he also knew everything about it.

There are several trading shops in Kyoto City, and Longshengfang is one of them, Lu Jiayue knew it, but she didn't pay attention for a while, so she said it casually.

The two little guys said again: "Actually, Young Master Lou has also seen a few houses everywhere, and it is estimated that he is also not rich in money, and the location is slightly better, he can't afford to buy it, but the house in Longshengfang, although it is not big, it is still exquisitely repaired, and the gate is facing the street, and it is convenient to enter and exit, so he bought it." ”

"The house is facing the street?" Lu Jiayue was slightly stunned, and then smiled, "I know, you guys will keep an eye on it again, if there is no change, you will talk back on the morning of the fourth day of the new year." ”

The two little servants gladly accepted the order, and each received a reward, and withdrew.

On the side, Xin Zhu saw Lu Jiayue's calm and relaxed appearance, and knew that she must have made up her mind again, and wanted to ask, but remembered that Lu Jiayue has become more and more different from before since she recovered from her illness, and sometimes it seems to be a different person, every word and deed, which is really elusive.

So I didn't bother to ask, Lu Jiayue is the master, she is a slave maid, no matter what the lady does, she just has to be loyal to the girl.

*

Two days later, it was the third day of the new year.

On this day, sitting in Meng's room, the eldest and youngest grandmothers Xu and Qu Ying were also there, Lu Jiayue only did not inadvertently, and talked about the Jiangnan-style pastries that Qu Song left for her last time.

When Xu heard this, he smiled and said, "Sister Yue must be gluttonous, and she wants to eat Jiangnan pastries again." ”

Lu Jiayue smiled, "I used to eat in Jiangnan, but I didn't think much about it, I haven't eaten much for a while, but I want to taste it again." ”

Before the words fell, Meng Shi said: "This kid, if you want to eat pastries, just let the small kitchen make it." As he spoke, he instructed Hexiang to send someone to the kitchenette to deliver the message.

Qu Ying stopped Hexiang, "That's it, our small kitchen is good for cooking, as for the Jiangnan-style pastries, I'm afraid they are still poorly done, I don't taste fragrant, and my sister is afraid that she won't like it." ”

Meng Shi said: "Then I went to the pastry shop outside to buy it, people specialize in pastries, and the taste is always authentic." ”

Qu Ying smiled: "Do you have to send someone to buy it?" That's so troublesome, why don't we also invite a Jiangnan chef back, I can also touch my sister's light, and often taste Jiangnan flavor. ”

Lu Jiayue knew that Qu Ying was just laughing, but she was afraid that the Meng family would take it seriously, and then she would work hard to invite a Jiangnan chef back for her, and she didn't know how the people of the Qu family would talk about her behind her back.

Most of the time I want to say that she is squeamish and difficult to serve.

So he hurriedly said: "Why do you want to hire any cooks, it's the same when you buy it outside." ”

Xu said: "I remember that there is a pastry shop, which is also a century-old shop, and it is the best at making pastries from all over the world, what is the name - Baiwei Zhai." ”

Qu Ying nodded, "There is this shop, and I have heard that the business is excellent, and the pastries I want to make should taste good." ”

"In that case, then send someone to buy some back," Meng Shi looked at Lu Jiayue with a smile, "What do you think is good?" ”

"Actually, in addition to pastries, I want to buy something else," Lu Jiayue lowered her head slightly, looking a little embarrassed, "It's been two or three months since my father took me back to Beijing, but I haven't been in Kyoto City once, I always hear the little guys say that Kyoto is prosperous, full of novelty, and different from other places," she raised her eyes to look at Meng's with a bit of yearning and expectation in her eyes, "I sound excited, and I also want to take a look around the city, even if I only buy some small toys." ”

Lu Jiayue's words, Meng's is omnipresent, not to mention that she is bored in the house all day long, and Meng's is afraid that she will be bored, so she agreed, and asked Qu Ying and Mama Zhang to accompany her out tomorrow morning and go to Longshengfang for a walk.

Lu Jiayue didn't want to persuade Meng Shi so smoothly, and took Qu Ying with her as she wished, and she couldn't help but secretly rejoice in her heart.
