Suddenly, Guo Zijin inadvertently discovered: Liu Ruoxi's eyes when he looked at Zhuo Yan were very similar to the way he looked at Zhuo Yun back then, full of love, which could not be concealed. You may not know it yourself, but others will know it at a glance. It seems that Xi'er is moved by Yan'er, and what Xi'er said can be explained.

I know Xi'er's character, this child has filial piety and looks good. If Yan'er doesn't object, it's a beautiful marriage.

Worst! My aunt hasn't spoken for so long, it can't be that she has seen through my careful thoughts.

"Auntie, what are you thinking?" Liu Ruoxi walked up to Guo Zijin and gently shook her arm.

"I'm thinking that our Xi'er is already a big girl, it's time to marry a good family!"

"Auntie, you're so annoying, you know how to make fun of me. I, I'll go back to my room first. ”

With that, he ran out with a shy face.

Cai Hong saw that her young lady ran out like this, and after saluting Guo Zijin, she hurriedly chased Liu Ruoxi.

"Miss, Miss, you're waiting for me!"

After a while, Liu Ruoxi had already run a long way. Hearing the faint sound of red picking behind him, he slowly stopped.

"Miss, I've finally caught up with you." At this distance, Cai Hong was tired and panting.

Liu Ruoxi was a little surprised to see that Cai Hong was so tired, how could she seem to have nothing to do. Suddenly, her thighs were sore, and she was about to fall to the ground, but fortunately, Cai Hongyan quickly helped her.

"Scared me to death, miss, are you alright?"

"It's okay, it's okay, help me back to my room!" Liu Ruoxi said that it was okay, but in fact she was just enduring it, if it wasn't for Cai Hong catching up and supporting her in time, then the consequences would be really unimaginable.

After Liu Ruoxi returned to the room, she lay on the bed for a long time before coming back to her senses.

"Pick red, pick red, help me up."

As soon as Cai Hong heard Liu Ruoxi's call, she immediately came to the bedside.

"Come, miss, slow down." Cai Hong slowly picked up Liu Ruoxi and took a pillow for her to lean on.

After doing some things, Cai Hong walked to the table again, poured a glass of water from the teapot and handed it to Liu Ruoxi. "Miss, come, drink a glass of water to moisten your throat."

"Cai Hong, what do you mean by what your aunt said to me this morning? Do you want me to go home because I've been here for a long time? ”

"Miss, don't be cranky. Madame, she's not that kind of person, and what she said may be hinting at you! ”

"Hinting at me? How so? Liu Ruoxi was confused by the red picking.

"Miss, you think, Madame can tell you this in private. She didn't mention it sooner or later, so why did she have to mention it this morning? ”

"You mean, my aunt saw my thoughts about my cousin and deliberately wanted to match me and my cousin."

"Miss, you've finally figured it out."

After Liu Ruoxi figured out the meaning of Guo Zijin's words, she couldn't help but secretly rejoice, the day she was looking forward to might come soon.

In the main hall, although Zhuo Yan had already eaten dim sum in the morning, he was still eating with Guo Zijin.

"Yan'er, you are not too young. What your father and I mean is that in a few days, let you study hard with your father, help deal with some things in the villa, and when you are proficient, the villa will be completely handed over to you. Your father will be a shopkeeper and enjoy the blessings!"

"Mother, I haven't heard you mention it, it's too sudden, I haven't been prepared. Besides, after a while, I still have to go back to my master's. Zhuo Yan was very surprised when he heard Guo Zijin's words.

"This decision is the result of careful consideration by your father and me, and it's time for you to start a family. Besides, sooner or later, this villa will be handed over to you. ”

Zhuo Yan obviously couldn't accept this decision for a while, but he couldn't find any good excuse to convince Guo Zijin. A few words came out of the mouth: "But...... When I went down the mountain, I promised the master that I would go back in a while. ”

"Your master, you don't have to worry, naturally your father will talk about it. Besides, your master has always understood righteousness, and I believe he will understand. ”

Zhuo Yan wanted to say something, but no matter what he said, Guo Zijin seemed to be able to refuse him.

I must go back, otherwise I won't be able to see my sister in the future.

Zhuo Yan still didn't know that Xia Jinghan had already gone down the mountain, and thought that Xia Jinghan was on the mountain!

And Xia Jinghan's situation here doesn't seem to be very optimistic, she and Gu Junmiao have been on the road for a day and a half, and they haven't even seen the shadow of Zhuojun until now.

"Jun Miao, is it the right direction for us, how long will it take to get to Zhuojun?" Xia Jinghan's curiosity about going down the mountain had already been exhausted by the long journey, if it weren't for Gu Junmiao's company, she would have been bored to death along the way.

"Come on, there's a ferry not far ahead. When we arrived at the ferry, we were heading north by boat, and we would be there in less than two nights. ”

"What? It's going to take two more nights, my ears are right! Xia Jinghan couldn't believe what she heard from Gu Junmiao's mouth, Senior brother, senior brother, I suffered so much to come to you, and when I arrive, you have to compensate me well.

Xia Jinghan didn't know that she would never be able to reach Zhuojun on this trip.

"Jinghan, look, the ferry has arrived. You wait here for me, I'll go and sell the horses for some trays. ”

"Okay, go and come back quickly, I'll wait here for you to come back!"

This is the ferry, Xia Jinghan saw it for the first time since she was a child, and she thought it was very strange.

Thousands of boats of all sizes docked on the vast river, the scene is spectacular.

"Jinghan, I'm back!" Gu Junmiao trotted all the way back.

"Jun Miao, why did you come back so soon? Are things going well? ”

"It went well, and the horses were sold, and they were sold for a total of eighty taels of silver. Look, it's all here! Gu Junmiao lit up the cloth bag in his hand, and all the silver he got was in this cloth bag.

"I didn't expect to sell so much silver, but it's a pity that those two horses have been with us for so long." Xia Jinghan still has some feelings for those two horses.

"Jinghan, I know you are reluctant, in fact, not only you, but also me. However, we were next by boat, so it was inconvenient to take them with us. Now, the only thing we can do is pray that they will meet good owners. ”

"I hope so!" Xia Jinghan's mood is still not very high.

"Jinghan, you wait for me again! I'm going to talk to the boatman and rent a boat to take us to Zhuojun. ”

"Well, there you go!"

I saw that Gu Junmiao walked in front of an old man who was about fifty or sixty, and I didn't know what the two said, but the old man looked in the direction where Xia Jinghan was.

Suddenly, Gu Junmiao also beckoned to Xia Jinghan and motioned for her to come over. After Xia Jinghan passed, she only heard Gu Junmiao say to her: "Jinghan, I have already discussed with this old man, and he will send us to Zhuojun." The boat behind you is it, and when we get on board, we can go. Come, go up first! Be careful, don't kowtow. ”

Xia Jinghan didn't grasp the strength when she stepped on the boat, and the hull of the boat shook slightly, but it was fine.

Immediately afterwards, Gu Junmiao also went up.

After the old man waited for both of them to go up, he untied the rope tied to the pillar and drove slowly away from the river with the penny.

Yangcheng is the capital of the Moonlit Night Dynasty, backed by mountains and rivers, with developed and convenient transportation, and is a central hub connecting all parts of the country. Dongfang West Street, cars and horses, and the flow of people is non-stop day and night. At the feet of the Son of Heaven, it is naturally extraordinary.

In the palace, Situ Heng was reviewing the recitals in the imperial study at the moment. I saw that the cloud top sandalwood in the hall was made of beams, the crystal jade was the lamp, and the fan gold was the pillar base. There was a pile of folds on the rosewood table, a few brushes resting on the inkstone, and a maid standing next to him was sharpening the ink for Situ Heng. The whole study was quiet, so quiet that you could hear the sound of a needle falling on the ground.

Suddenly, the appearance of a small eunuch broke the peace of the imperial study.

"Your Majesty, Xiao Shan has something to see, and he is waiting outside the imperial study at the moment."

"It's so late, what's the matter? Forget it, let him in! Situ Heng temporarily put down the brush in his hand and put it on the inkstone.

The little eunuch who was reported just now led a man dressed in black in, thinking that he should be Xiao Shan in the mouth of the young eunuch.

Xiao Shan respectfully bowed to Situ and said; "Your Majesty, Weichen has something important to report."

"Aiqing doesn't have to be polite, get up quickly!" Situ Heng came to Xiao Shan's face, and after helping him up, he instructed the maids and little eunuchs standing above: "You all go down!" No one is allowed to trespass without my permission. ”

There are only two people in the huge imperial study now, Situ Heng and Xiao Shan.

"Aiqing, there are no outsiders now, what do you have to say!"

However, Xiao Shan was still worried that the wall had ears, after all, what he was going to report next was an absolute secret, and if it was heard by others, the consequences would be unimaginable. I saw him whisper in Situ Heng's ear: "Your Majesty, the minister does not live up to the emperor's trust, and before entering the palace, he has found out that the key to open the tomb of the former emperor is in Xia Qinghuai's hand." And Xia Qinghuai's hermitage, our spies already know. Please ask the emperor to decide! ”

After listening to Xiao Shan's words, Situ Heng subconsciously squinted his eyes, as if thoughtful.

"As I expected, Xia Qinghuai was the most important person in the first emperor's lifetime, and even the weight of my son in his heart was not as good as Xia Qinghuai. If there is a key to open the mausoleum of the first emperor, it must be on him. Situ Heng seems to dislike Xia Qinghuai, but thinking about it, Xia Qinghuai easily has what Situ Heng envies.

"Then Your Majesty, what should we do next? When the first emperor was alive, he collected skilled craftsmen from all over the country, began to build the imperial tomb in Otter Mountain, and ordered that after his death, all kinds of treasures collected during his lifetime should be buried with him. You must know that there are countless treasures in the mausoleum of the first emperor, and the wealth is comparable to that of the country! ”
