Lu Jiayue finally slept peacefully.

Although Tong Baili died, Guan Ming had been handed over to Jin Yuwei for detention, and he was only waiting for the three law divisions to join Jin Yuwei to try the salt tax case.

In the previous life, the root cause of the collapse of the Qu family and the innocent death of his father has also been found.

Next, I just waited for the salt tax case to be heard and concluded, and waited to see how the King of Wei lost his sacred heart and his authority was no longer authoritative.

My heart is stable and happy, and I eat breakfast very sweetly.

Seeing that Lu Jiayue had returned to her old cloud, Xin Zhu almost cried with joy.

After finishing breakfast, Xiaoshun and Xiaocheng talked back and forth.

"I have heard that Tong Baili, the governor of the salt transport, has committed suicide in fear of crime, and Guan Ming, the secretary of the household department, has been moved from the prison of Dali Temple to the Jinyu Health Department.

It seems that Jin Yuwei did not make the truth about Tong Baili's death public... If you want to investigate the mastermind behind the scenes, you probably don't want to startle the snake, or you don't want to cause a shock to the government and the opposition, and the people are uneasy.

It is good to interrogate Guan Ming left and right, with his testimony, plus the two Huai salt transportation tax and silver accounts of the household department, it is impossible to deny him and King Wei.

Lu Jiayue was still happy, rewarded the two little guys, and ordered them to continue to inquire about the news of the salt tax case outside, and if there was any trouble, they would report it immediately.

Lu Jiayue originally wanted to order the two little servants to inquire outside, and he could also "eavesdrop" from his uncle Qu Hong at home, so that he could grasp the news of the salt tax case at any time, but who knew that the sky would not fulfill people's wishes, Qu Hong suddenly came back in the afternoon, saying that the case was serious, and he had no time to return home recently, so he asked Meng to pick up a few changes of clothes for him, wrapped them and handed them over to his close entourage to protect his loyalty, and simply lived in the Jinyu Health Department.

Meng Shi was not at ease and asked him how many days he would come back.

Qu Hong frowned, and only said: "The short is ten days, the long is one month, everything depends on how the holy will is decided." ”

As a result, Lu Jiayue could only wait for the two little servants to pass on the news of the salt tax case outside every day.

*

After another two or three days, I got up early this day and went to the upper room with the Meng family to say hello, only to hear the maids around Mrs. Qu say that Mrs. Liang Shaokuan's wife came over with a famous post, saying that she was going to come to see Mrs. Qu the next day and greet Mrs. Qu.

Only then did Lu Jiayue remember that there was still the matter of Young Master Liang Haoliang.

So I couldn't help but laugh to myself, I was only tied to the salt tax case recently, and I almost delayed Qu Ying's good fate.

But although he already has some understanding of Young Master Liang's character, Qu Ying still doesn't know anything about him, what should he do to make Young Master Liang and Qu Ying a pair?

... It's better to let the two of them meet first, otherwise, who knows what Young Master Liang looks like?

Although Xiaoshun Xiaocheng replied that Young Master Liang was handsome, but men look at men and women look at men, and their eyes are different after all.

Maybe Young Master Liang is a leprosy head.

But there is a difference between men and women, which is called a great defense, if you deceive Qu Ying in private and secretly go to see Young Master Liang, it will be spread in the future, and Qu Ying's reputation will be hindered.

How can Young Master Liang and Qu Ying meet openly?

Lu Jiayue thought hard for a long time.

finally remembered that Xiaoshun Xiaocheng had mentioned in his reply that Young Master Liang was now studying in Qingfeng Academy.

Isn't Qu Zhang, the third young master of the Qu family, a classmate with Young Master Liang?

Since Mrs. Liang was going to visit Mrs. Qu the next day, why didn't she ask Qu Zhang for help, and first invited Young Master Liang and Mrs. Liang to come to Qu Mansion together, and then we would see the opportunity to act and make a match?

The idea has been decided, Lu Jiayue is very happy, and she has reviewed the idea from beginning to end, and she admires her "ingenuity" a lot.

*

In the previous life, Lu Jiayue and the third young master Qu Zhang had almost no intersection, and even if they met, they only met a few times.

The last time I saw him, it was the day of the beginning of winter, in the flower hall of Mrs. Qu's upper room, the family had a feast.

It turned out to be a handsome young man, perhaps because of his identity as a concubine, he felt humble, and there was always a bit of uneven loss between his eyebrows.

But since you want to ask him for help, you naturally want to see him in person.

When the men of the Qu family become adults, they will set up a courtyard in the front yard as an outer study, which can not only live daily, but also serve as a meeting with friends.

When it was still dark, Lu Jiayue took Xin Zhu to the front yard.

She has learned from the maids that since Qu Zhang became an adult, he only lived in the study outside the front yard, except for greeting the elders on weekdays, and was not like Qu Rong, going in and out of the inner courtyard at will.

This is probably also because the second master, Qu Xian, and the second lady, Duan, don't care much about him. Children who are not truly loved by their parents are always extra cautious and sensible.

There were small servants in the mezzanine who were busy lighting up the wind lamps under the wall one after another.

The drunken yellow lights, although not very bright, can also add some warmth to people's hearts.

Lu Jiayue tightened the hand warmer in her arms and tiptoed slightly to look at the courtyard ahead.

At this time, Qu Zhang should have returned from Qingfeng Academy?

*

Qu Zhang was quite surprised by Lu Jiayue's arrival, and even a little at a loss.

Behind him, Xin Zhu held a set of four treasures of the study, Lu Jiayue took it, and served it to Qu Zhang with a smile.

"I took the liberty to come, and I ask the third brother to forgive me - I heard my sister call you the third brother, so I also followed her to call you the third brother, okay?"

Qu Zhang smiled shyly, "Sister Lu doesn't have to be polite, since you are the niece of the eldest aunt, you can call me the third brother with Sister Ying." ”

"Okay, please ask the third brother to accept this set of four treasures of the study, and let's talk again." Lu Jiayue saw that Qu Zhang didn't answer, so she held it and sent it forward.

Qu Zhang hesitated slightly, but still took it and held it in his hand dignifiedly.

“... I don't know why Sister Lu suddenly came to my study room today, and gave such a valuable gift," he looked at the sign on the four treasures of the Chinese room in his hand, writing the three words "Champion Yuan Lou", and there was surprise in his eyes, "The so-called merit is not reluctant, Sister Lu is so polite, but it teaches me to feel uneasy." ”

Qu Zhang is a person who likes to read, and as long as he is a student, he knows the century-old store in Jiangnan - Zhuangyuan Building.

Zhuangyuan Building specializes in the four treasures of the study, the materials are exquisite, the style is exquisite, and it is widely rumored that those students with the title of the gold list for a hundred years have used the things of the Zhuangyuan Building when they take the exam. Therefore, for students, just the three words of Zhuangyuan Building are already a good luck symbol. It's just a pity that the champion building only opened a shop in the south of the Yangtze River, and if students from other places want to use the things of the champion building, they need to be entrusted with it.

These things were originally purchased by Lu Mian for Lu Jiayue in advance before leaving Jiangnan and going north to Beijing, so that Lu Jiayue could also have a few handy gifts when he arrived at the Qu family, which could be given to the Qu family.

At that time, Lu Jiayue thought that it was really cumbersome to bring a lot of things to Beijing, but she didn't think that it would come in handy now.

It's just that at that time, he only brought a total of four sets into Beijing, and when he first arrived at Qu's house, he gave Qu Song a set, although he didn't have to be named on the gold list, and the things in the end were more convenient than ordinary pen, ink, paper, and inkstone. Later, he gave the fifth young master Qu Hua a set. Now that I have given another set of Qu Zhang, only the last set remains.

I still have to live in Qu's house for a while, and I don't know if that set is enough to give away?
