Shi Huan got up, dusted off his clothes, and saw that the sky was getting dark outside, and the sunset had risen. The lively chrysanthemum in the courtyard is dyed with a layer of glow, which is very beautiful.

She greeted the glow, "Grandfather, before the palace gate is locked, I will enter the palace." ”

Taifu nodded, and was telling her to come back earlier, when she saw that Uncle Lin, who had gone to see Gu Yanqi, came back, and walked very fast with a smile, followed by a person, it was Gu Ci.

"Why is Ah Ci here?"

Gu Ci saluted to the Taifu before he said, "I heard about the things in the palace, and I thought that if Gu Yanqi wanted to save Concubine Xian, he would definitely come to the Shi family." So I came over and had a look...... Before he entered the door, I saw him get into the carriage and leave......"

"You have a heart. However, all the concubines involved in this matter are harem concubines, and the eldest princess's mansion is better to be alone, so don't get involved. Taifu didn't approve of it, "Your Majesty couldn't find anyone to unload the fire." Since you're here, play a game of chess with me and wait for dinner. ”

He beckoned Gu Ci to sit down, his eyes fell on the half of the game that Fang Cai and Shi Huan hastily ended, and he was slightly stunned...... This girl won.

Gu Ci didn't move, and smiled, "It's okay." Huanhuan wants to enter the palace to ask the queen about the background of the palace maid, right? No need to go, in the afternoon at leisure, I will check, and I will go with you at this time, if it goes well, I can catch up and come back to have dinner at the teacher's side. ”

Since the other party said so, Shi Huan didn't delay, after all, this matter was really in a hurry, so he said goodbye to Taifu and set off.

It's just that she still doesn't know something, so she got into the carriage and asked Gu Ci, "How did senior brother know that I would agree to help Gu Yanqi?" "After all, this matter is somewhat thankless for the Shi family, and it may even be jealous of His Majesty. His Shi Huan could see that Taifu was originally a little reluctant to help. After all, although wealth is in danger, the Shi family is no longer in the stage of risking wealth and wealth.

Gu Ci poured tea and handed it to her, firm and peaceful, "Because you don't want Gu Yansheng to be the emperor." ”

Shi Huan was really surprised at this time, "Senior brother even knows the conditions for me to open?" ”

"Yes." He smiled. This girl is a person who has learned the art of imperial power with Taifu. She's just a lot of the time reluctant to design and plan, not that she won't.

She doesn't want Gu Yansheng to be the emperor, but whether it is Gu Yanyao or Gu Yanqing, once she takes the throne, she will definitely support her own forces and suppress the Shi family everywhere, in the final analysis, Gu Yansheng's idle prince is not so easy to do.

Gu Yanqi is different.

Gu Yanqi, who is fledgling, has no support from the army, let alone the so-called popular will, and second, the mother family behind him is not strong, and he wants to support his own forces to compete with the Shi family, and I am afraid that he will not be able to achieve the climate in ten years.

The political situation in the DPRK is changing rapidly, and ten years ...... Who knows what will happen in 10 years. Shi Huan's move is actually to strive for the stability and wealth of the Shi family in the next ten years.

After a little accident, Shi Huan felt happy. Her eyes were bright, and she smiled like a child waiting to be praised," said the senior brother...... This deal, can the Shi family make money? ”

He reached out to tie her broken hair, and then reached out and touched Shi Huan's head, doting and conniving, "Naturally, it's earned." I...... Our family is happy, so smart, how can they make a loss-making business. "Even if you don't make money at the beginning, in the end, you will make it profitable.

The carriage slowly turned into the small alley.

This place has passed the downtown area, the population is gradually thinning, and occasionally there are plainly dressed people, carrying vegetable baskets and holding children. There was a crushing musty smell in the air and something even stranger, a little unpleasant.

Shi Huan's nose is sensitive, and this feeling becomes clearer.

Her brows furrowed, and Gu Ci had already handed over a sour plum, "Eat one." This is the West Market, which is relatively chaotic, and the people who live here are also some poor people, so naturally many places are not well taken care of. ”

There is a vegetable market in the West Market, which is a place for serious offenders to cut off their heads. I heard that blood seeped into the soil, and over the years the mud in that place had become a seeping reddish-brown color that was not found anywhere else, and it exuded a strong fishy smell, and no amount of rain could wash it away.

Therefore, those who live in the West City have always been poor families. Anyone who has some conditions will definitely move away from this place where "resentment is rampant, and lonely souls and wild ghosts wander at night".

The carriage is a rare symbol of the rich and noble in the small alleys of the West Market, but it has attracted many people to stop and turn around, stretching their necks to see whose rich relatives are developed.

Then the carriage came to a halt in front of a closed door. Suddenly, "Oh......"

The subdued emotion fell into the ears of the girl who was wearing a veil and preparing to get out of the carriage, dragging her tune, with a little disdain and envy that was not well disguised. It can be seen that Caimei's mother in it does not seem to be very popular in this neighborhood.

With sour plums in their mouths and veils on, Shi Huan and Gu Qi got out of the carriage and knocked on the door generously in those equally disdainful but inquiring eyes.

"On weekdays, I am proud, and I keep saying how my daughter is favored in the palace...... Oh, if you want me to say, it's not a waiter, I don't know, I thought her daughter went to the palace to be a concubine......"

"Isn't it...... Look, when these guys leave, it's time for her to come out and show off......"

The sound is not loud, but it is not small, it can be heard vaguely when it falls into the ear, Shi Huan raised his head and looked at Gu Ci, the wooden door in front of him opened from the inside, and the sound squeaked, half opened, obviously stuck. A head poked out of it, her hair was gray, she was wearing a jacket that didn't show her original color, the whites of her eyes were a little cloudy, she looked at people from head to foot, her eyes were fixed on a jade pendant on Shi Huan's waist and she didn't move, and she vaguely seemed to swallow saliva, "You guys...... Who to look for? ”

Some are wary, and some are expectant. So, that expression looked a little embarrassed.

Pian Yu was about to speak, but was stopped by Shi Huan, she took a few steps forward, bent down and said with a smile, "Hello auntie." My brother and I came to the imperial capital to visit the elders of the clan, and when we got lost for a while, we were thirsty, so we begged for a glass of water to drink, and asked for directions by the way. ”

The eldest lady was really vigilant and didn't believe it, and pointed to the people who were pointing and whispering outside, "You said you wanted to ask for directions, but you didn't ask about those people there, did you get out of the carriage and look at my house to ask?" ”

A few days ago, my daughter came out with a large bag and told me not to go out these days, and not to answer casually when I meet strangers, especially the kind of strangers who look extraordinary.

The two in front of me, look...... It's very noble, but it's just the one on the side, but it looks like a person in the rivers and lakes, she was a little uncertain for a while, and her eyes looked at the jade pendant again...... Tut. It's worth a lot of money.
