.. org, the fastest update of the latest chapter of the reborn Gaomen pet daughter-in-law!
Although the room was dim and Li Yingge couldn't see her movements clearly, Chang Qing still shook his head and replied, "There are no other masters in Yuan's mansion except for the subordinate who guards the door in that room. I looked at the lights in the main room in the backyard, and when I was left at home, I quietly touched it and took a look, but it was just a mother-in-law guarding the yard, and I didn't see Master Yuan. ”
Master Yuan's full name is Yuan Shicang, he is a typical businessman, but he is very shrewd on the outside, but he is very shrewd on the inside.
Yuan Shicang, the head of the family, did not enter Beijing first, but brought Mrs. Yuan's wife, Huang, a housemother who was not good at managing foreign affairs, to Beijing first.
Li Yingge's eyes narrowed slightly, and he groaned slightly before asking, "What other news did you find?" ”
"I heard from the people near Yuan's house that Yuan Xiaoyang only moved into the south of the city with a few small servants three days ago. As for Mrs. Yuan, she was a day late, and she only arrived in the capital yesterday, and in addition to her mother and maid, she also brought two male servants who looked like stewards of the outer courtyard. Chang Qing replied while recalling, "Not only are you curious about how Master Yuan is falling behind, but the neighbors near you also wonder why the head of Yuan's house is not there. ”
The owners of the Yuan Mansion are not all now, and the subordinates are even more pitiful, and the news that can be heard at the moment is nothing more than that.
Chang Qing thought for a while, and added, "Xu is just to settle down, I heard that Yuan Xiaoyang and Mrs. Yuan have not gone out in the past two or three days, that is, I don't see where they went, and I don't see anyone going to Yuan's house." It was tonight's Lantern Festival, Yuan Xiaoyang and Mrs. Yuan went out on their front and back feet, counting the time, probably the same as the time we arrived in Anxifang. ”
"Brother Ying, it's just that you bumped into Yuan Xiaoyang, why is it so coincidental, Yuan Xiaoyang and Mrs. Yuan actually helped Miss Chen Qi by chance?" After Chang Qing finished talking about business, he inevitably became curious, "I couldn't squeeze in before, looking at the words and deeds of Mrs. Yuan and Yuan Xiaoyang from a distance, I have a lot of grace, you don't know, those little girls and daughters-in-law who are surrounding me, when they catch a glimpse of Yuan Xiaoyang, they can't help but praise their good looks." ”
In all fairness, Yuan Xiaoyang's human skin can indeed be called a jade tree in the wind, that is, he is not as weak as ordinary scholars, and he is not out of place in the border places, if he doesn't know what his essence is, it is indeed easy to have a good impression because of his appearance.
First, there was the praise of Mother Xie, who was unknown, and then there was Changqing's praise in a corner, which shows how cheap Yuan Xiaoyang is to take advantage of his eyes.
It's just that at this moment, Li Yingge's heart is as calm as water, and when she heard the words, she didn't have the disgust before, so she only chuckled, "Yes, even a quiet person like the eldest princess of Chengyang will inevitably show emotion when Yuan Xiaoyang stepped forward to greet him, not to mention the little girls and daughters-in-law you said." “
There was no light in the inner room, and the cold moonlight shone through the window and into the half-hung curtain, reflecting Li Yingge's face half-bright and half-dark, and his expression was difficult to distinguish.
Chang Qing keenly felt that Li Yingge's words were not affirmation or praise, she had always only known how to act according to orders, and she couldn't help but ask at this moment, "Now that you have found out about Yuan's house, you have also seen Mrs. Yuan and Yuan Xiaoyang...... Brother Ying, what are you trying to do with me staring at them? Next, do I have to continue to pay attention to the movements of Yuan's house? ”
So many things have happened one after another before, Li Yingge has been glad that no matter who she faces, she can rely on her youth to please her, and even let the other party despise her and find a chance to get out of danger, and then protect herself.
Now in the face of the previous enemy who suddenly appeared in Beijing, she is a little cruel to her own youth.
Li Yingge slowly let out a long breath, countless thoughts intertwined in his mind, and only after a while did he speak quietly, "You continue to help me keep an eye on Yuan Zhai." You don't have to worry about other people and things, just stare at who Yuan Xiaoyang has seen since he went out. But...... You don't have to keep an eye on it all the time, just go out of the house once every three or five days, so as to save extraneous branches, but make Xie's mother suspicious. ”
She had asked Chang Qing to report to Mother Xie whenever she went out to do errands, except for matters related to the Yuan family, as for the future, when she needed to use the energy of Mother Xie and others, she had other plans.
Chang Qing is a person who does this kind of thing when she is old, and when she hears that as long as she only goes out once in three or five days, she knows that Li Yingge is not so much to grasp all the movements of Yuan Xiaoyang, but to just feel the rough idea, and then to get to the surface.
She originally felt that Li Yingge was not like an ordinary little master, but at this moment, she felt that Li Yingge's instructions were a little strange.
didn't ask much, only reconfirmed, "Then when Master Yuan enters Beijing, I won't care anymore?" ”
Li Yingge snorted, and was silent for a long time before asking a question that seemed to Chang Qing to be very clueless, "You said that Yuan's house is quiet in the middle of trouble, what kind of method is it to be quiet in the trouble?" ”
In her previous life, when she was still the daughter-in-law of the Yuan family, she had seen the expenditure of the Yuan Mansion in the capital on the books, but she did not clearly remember where and where, even she asked Changqing to investigate, and it was based on the amount of money she knew to infer the possible location, even so Changqing spent a lot of time to find out the specific location of the Yuan Mansion, which led to the night visit to the Yuan Mansion tonight.
Chang Qing elaborated on the contents of the previous investigation, "Yuan Zhai used to be a household official in the city, and the official Zhishi sold it before returning to his hometown, and it changed hands several times, and it was only resold to the Yuan family more than three years ago. If you want to say that it is quiet in the middle of the noise, it is because Yuan's house is the penultimate household at the end of the street, but the neighbor at the end of the street is vacant and has not been sold. On the other side, there is a head of household, but there is no one living in it now. ”
Li Yingge raised his eyebrows, "So there are empty houses on the left and right?" ”
Chang Qing nodded and added, "The other end is said to be the courtyard of a merchant in the south of the city, which was originally used by the old man to hide Jiaojiao in the golden house, but later the east window incident, and the mother-in-law in the family was a Hedong lion roar, and everyone knew about the Yuan Mansion at that time, and then no one lived in that courtyard anymore, saying that it had been transferred to the name of the old man's mother-in-law, and kept for the dowry of the children in the future." ”
In other words, no one will move in to the left and right families of Yuan's house in a short period of time......
The corners of Li Yingge's mouth hooked slightly, and he ordered something extremely abrupt, "Since the Yuan Mansion has changed hands several times earlier, and I want to come to the official mansion to have archives, can you get the general layout of the Yuan Mansion to be mapped?" If you can, try to get me one. ”
Chang Qing was dizzy by Li Yingge's hammer in the east and hammer in the west, and promised in his mouth, "It shouldn't be a big problem, but the fourth day of the junior high school has just opened, and the yamen of all ministries are waiting for everything to be happy, and I'm afraid it will take two more days for this matter." ”
Li Yingge didn't care about waiting for a few more days, closed his eyes and said, "Don't be in a hurry, be impatient and make mistakes, you just want to do it well or not quickly, I can afford to wait......"
From the past life to this life, what else can't she wait?
Chang Qing faintly felt that Li Yingge was a little strange tonight, and saw that she had closed her eyes and silenced her, so she relaxed her hands and feet, folded the corners of the quilt for Li Yingge and put down the curtain, and then lay back on the low floor of the vigil, and carefully thought about what Li Yingge confessed, and then gradually fell asleep.
Yuan's house, which had been visited by Changqing, had not yet fallen into the dark sweetness, and the west room of the main house was brightly lit.
Yuan Xiaoyang changed into a moon-white home-style clothes, and was sitting on the chair under the big kang near the window, scooping the rice balls one by one.
Mrs. Yuan Huang saw that her son was elegant and calm even when eating, and the relief and pride in her eyes could not be hidden, and she looked at her son with a loving face, but after quietly using a whole bowl of rice balls, she called Zheng's mother next to her with satisfaction, and when Zheng's mother took the maid to clean up the dishes and chopsticks and withdrew, only the mother and son were left in the west room.
"God opened my eyes, as soon as I saw that Miss Chen Qi was dressed extraordinary, I knew that it must be the daughter of a high-ranking family in Beijing, but I didn't expect it to be the only daughter of the eldest princess of Chengyang!" Huang raised his eyebrows, and although his voice was deliberately lowered, he was full of joy, "The eldest princess of Chengyang grew up under the knees of the queen mother, and she has been a saint all year round, who doesn't know these two things in the Great Qin Dynasty?" If you can become a guest of honor in the Eldest Princess's Mansion because of this, your future will have another layer of security! ”
Yuan Xiaoyang wiped the corners of his mouth with a handkerchief, and couldn't help but recall the picture when he met the eldest princess of Chengyang.
Although the eldest princess of Chengyang was courteous to him and his mother, it was only because he and his mother helped escort Chen Jinyu back to the first floor of the world......
Such a heavy thank-you gift, not to mention just sending people back, is enough for Xie Yi to save people's lives.
It can be seen that the eldest princess of Chengyang may not be as excited as she appears on her face, otherwise she would not have doubled her return when she turned her head, so clearly.
The gift from the eldest princess's mansion is so thick and heavy, and it is sent through most of the capital at night, and if you want to come tomorrow at the latest, everyone in Beijing who should know about this matter will know.
At that time, those people will not say that the Yuan family, a merchant from the border gate, is kind to the eldest princess's mansion, but will only say that the eldest princess of Chengyang has a kindness to repay the favor.
That being the case, how can this so-called "kindness" that must dissipate like dew be worthy of being treated as a guest of honor by the Eldest Princess's Mansion?
When my mother first arrived in the capital, she saw the most noble princess of the dynasty, and she was carried away by the joy in front of her for a while, and she couldn't think of this.
Yuan Xiaoyang raised his eyes to look at the Huang family, the smile on the corner of his mouth was gentle, and his voice softly said what he thought in his heart, and finally said helplessly, "Mother, don't worry about the eldest princess's mansion, why bother looking at those unrealistic things." Yuan Jia...... After all, it is only a merchant in the northeast border, how can they have a reputation and financial resources in Qihe, and if they leave Qihe and enter the capital, they will be able to get at least half of the discount......"
Huang doesn't like to hear this.
Since she married into the Yuan family, she has been smooth sailing all the way, and she once secretly worried about the only son of Yuan Xiaoyang under her knees, but Yuan Xiaoyang has been smart since she was a child, and her talent is gratifying, and she is even more talented when she grows up, and her waist is also straight, and now the only deficiency is the merchant courtyard of the Yuan family.
But now, the day when the Yuan family will change its door is approaching!
Not to mention that there is the help of the big house in the Qihe Li family behind her, let's just say that the three years of married life that her son sacrificed in vain for the future, she also wants to ask for it back with interest!
