Chapter 189: Discovering the Secret

Jing Yan's eyes were as clear and bright as the blue waves of the lake, and he carefully checked Chu Peijin's pulse while looking at the pretty face close at hand, and there was an indescribable sense of satisfaction in his heart!

Chu Peijin saw that he was silent for a long time and just stared at herself, she was a little uncomfortable for a while, she tried to withdraw her hand but did not withdraw it, her ears were hot, and she couldn't help glaring at him, and said angrily: "What do you see?" Nerds! ”

Jing Yan came back to his senses, but he couldn't help laughing!

"Well, someone is waiting for a nerd, so what is she?"

Chu Peijin's chest froze, glared at him with some annoyance and patted him with his hand, Jing Yan took advantage of the situation to withdraw the hand holding the pulse, and said: "It's not bad, although the progress is very slow, but it's already good for beginners!" ”

Chu Peijin's eyes lit up instantly: "Really? ”

"Well, as long as you persist, you will be able to feel it yourself after a while!" Jing Yan smiled and encouraged her.

Chu Peijin was overjoyed! She took the initiative to pour Jing Yan a cup of tea and served it to him, and said, "In order to thank you for your dedication, I invite you to tea!" ”

Jing Yan took it with a smile and took a sip, then asked, "Is there something wrong with you asking Nian Xue to send me a message?" ”

Only then did Chu Peijin remember the news she got today, so she hurriedly sat down on the chair next to Jing Yan and explained the matter of charcoal in detail.

Jing Yan's heart moved, and he raised his eyes to look at her, "Do you suspect anything?" ”

Chu Peijin said: "I just think this matter is a little incredible, so I came to you to discuss." ”

Jing Yan pursed her lips and thought for a while, then said: "We don't have any detailed information about Miss Fu San, it seems normal to look at her performance on weekdays, and the matter of charcoal alone is indeed beyond common sense...... Instead, I'll have someone secretly investigate and see how the situation goes. ”

Chu Peijin gathered the jacket made of gray squirrel hair on his body, shook his head, and said, "I originally thought that I would order a batch of charcoal tomorrow, but if I send someone to investigate, I don't know how long it will take, I'm worried that it's too late!" ”

It's October soon, the weather is getting colder and colder, and some people have already used charcoal fires at home, so Chu Peijin is reluctant to delay it any longer.

Jing Yan's eyebrows moved slightly, his eyes narrowed slightly, his fingertips tapped unconsciously on the table, but his mind was spinning rapidly.

Chu Peijin couldn't help but feel a little strange when he didn't speak, "What are you thinking?" ”

Jing Yan didn't answer her immediately, just looked at her seriously and asked, "Do you want to go and see it yourself?" ”

"Huh?" Chu Peijin was a little surprised, "You mean, let's go to visit Prime Minister Fu's mansion at night?" ”

Jing Yan nodded: "Do you dare?" ”

"Dare! Why don't you dare? Do you want to go now? Chu Peijin looked excited.

Jing Yan looked at her childish little appearance and shook her head with a smile, and said, "Go and wear a thick dress, and bring a cloak by the way, it will be colder to go out at night." ”

"You waitβ€”" Chu Peijin finished speaking, and hurriedly went to the wardrobe to get her clothes, put them on, and brought a thick emerald brocade feather satin cloak.

"Go, go! Maybe everyone is resting when it's late, but I don't want to run away and hear people snoring there! ”

Jing Yan smiled, "Aren't all men snoring?" ”

As he spoke, he carefully put on the cloak for Chu Peijin, and then took her hand and walked out.

"Don't move around later, and don't talk nonsense, there must be secret guards in Fu Xiangfu, we have to be careful!"

Chu Peijin glared at him, "You're so long-winded, go quickly!" ”

The first time she did this kind of thing, Chu Peijin was so excited that her little face was flushed, and her eyes were black and bright, like stars in the night sky.

Jing Yan couldn't help pinching her face, took her in her arms and tapped her toes before she went crazy, and quietly walked out of Wu'an Houfu all the way to Fu Xiangfu.

The courtyard walls of Fu Xiang's Mansion were all bare outside, except for a few poplar trees planted near the side gate, which rattled in the night wind.

Jing Yan took Chu Peijin and landed on the branch of the poplar tree, hid and looked inside.

"How? Is there anyone guarding it? ”

Because he was worried about being discovered, Chu Peijin whispered very low in Jing Yan's ear.

Because the distance was so close, her warm breath swept through Jing Yan's ears and into his heart. Jing Yan felt that the half of his face was about to burn even with his ears!

He held Chu Peijin's hand subconsciously tightened, and then suppressed the throbbing in his heart and said: "This should be the inner courtyard, there are no secret guards, let's go in." After saying this, he hugged Chu Peijin tightly and easily swept into Fu Xiang's mansion again.

With the help of the palace lamps hanging under the pillars everywhere, the two of them smoothly touched the courtyard where Fu Yanjun lived. The two of them found a very hidden place to hide, and Chu Peijin took a closer look at Fu Yanjun's yard.

At this time, it was time to rest, Fu Yanjun deliberately turned on the lights, and judging from the projection of the window, it seemed that there were still two maids there who didn't know what they were busy with. There is a room on the left and right wings with flashing lights, and it seems that there is also a maid ring on night duty.

Chu Peijin and Jing Yan glanced at each other, Jing Yan gestured to her slightly, and then took her to the roof of Fu Yanjun's main house. Jing Yan carefully lifted the tiles and looked down, just in time to see Fu Yanjun leaning on the beauty couch reading a book, and the two little girls were beating her legs one by one.

At this moment, another maid walked in with a bowl of bird's nest.

I saw her put the things on the table next to Fu Yanjun, and said respectfully: "Girl, this is something that Mrs. asked to send to you, can you eat it while it's hot?" ”

Fu Yanjun raised her hand to stop the two serving little maids, got up and took two sips of bird's nest, as if she remembered something, and asked, "What happened to the things that asked you to ask before?" How much did the mother order? ”

The little girl said: "Madame said that she has ordered more than half of the amount in previous years, so I haven't ordered charcoal again in the past two days!" ”

Fu Yanjun frowned, "Didn't I let you tell my mother?" Will this winter be a little colder than usual? ”

The maid shrank for a moment, and then replied, "The slave and maid have already said what you have told the girl, but, girl, why don't you tell the lady directly?" ”

Fu Yanjun glanced at her, "If I say it directly, my mother will believe it?" ”

The girl was stunned for a moment, and a trace of doubt flashed in her eyes, "Girl, what if this winter is the same as in previous years?" Isn't there a lot of silver going to be put in our house? ”

Fu Yanjun smiled slightly and said, "Don't worry, it will definitely be cold!" ”

The girl opened her mouth for a long time and didn't know what to say, and finally had to say: "Then the slave will quietly spread some news tomorrow, so that the lady will probably pay attention to it!" ”

Fu Yanjun nodded, handed the bowl back to the girl ring and leaned back on the big pillow embroidered with peonies to continue reading her book.

Yahuan quietly retreated.

Jing Yan glanced at Chu Peijin and quietly put the tiles back in their place, and then took her to perform light skills and left the Fu Mansion and returned to Qinglan Courtyard.

Chu Peijin went in and got a cup of hot tea, and then gradually came to her senses.
