Chapter 55: Bao Jun is satisfied
Because of being in Su Chen's house, the subordinates also knew that Gu Xinian didn't like to be served, so the house was also dark, and no one would come.
After Gu Xinian lit the candle, he was startled and almost screamed.
She patted her chest, stabilized her beating heart, and only felt that her body was a little cooler when she was blowing outside, and she was suddenly warmed up by this fright.
I saw that Mo Yanjue, who had been here for an unknown period of time, was sitting at the table, drinking tea indifferently.
He raised his eyes faintly, and under the mask, his ebony-like deep pupils reflected the flickering candle flame, his nose was high, his skin was snow-white, and his red lips were seductive.
Inky black silk with an elegant gold-encrusted piping pattern embroidered on the hem......
Isn't this the one she wore when she first returned to Beijing when he saw Mo Yanjue for the first time in cyclamen?
But......
"Mo Yanjue? Why are you here? ”
Mo Yanjue glanced at her and withdrew his gaze.
"Ye Family Library Pavilion, jade bracelet."
Gu Xinian didn't expect him to be so direct, but thinking about it is also in line with him.
"So...... What are you...... Willing to help me? ”
"A month."
"What month?"
Gu Xinian frowned, expressing his incomprehension.
Can this big brother finish speaking?
"Term. If you can't please me......"
Before he finished speaking, Gu Xinian hurriedly laughed.
"Where! That's it, one month is a month! Bao Jun is satisfied! ”
Just kidding, Mo Yanjue is now a person who can walk sideways in the capital, hugging this thigh, isn't it much easier?
The next day, Gu Xinian was carried back to Ye Mansion by the Ye family's eight sedan chairs, and it spread all over the capital.
The Queen Mother was in the bedroom, listening to the report of the palace maid, smiled with satisfaction, and waved her hand to step down.
The door shut, and a dark shadow appeared.
"I heard that I want to carry the sedan chair for eight times, isn't Ye You going to care about her? Why did you call to the palace and change your mind again? ”
The Queen Mother sat down on the concubine's floor, picked up the lid of the very small incense burner on the side with one hand, and held a small spoon in the other, slowly placing the incense powder.
It was just a reminder to him that the gift of asking for in front of the Holy One is not so easy to fool. If Your Majesty really only wants to give this grace, you can do it directly. But what His Majesty has done is nothing more than to take care of his own intentions.
If you really take it back, the reputation in the capital will naturally have to be mentioned, but if you don't take it, Your Majesty will mention it in the future, who knows what you think of this courtier in your heart? ”
The man nodded, "The first step, let her go back, has already been done, but how can she help us find clues?" It's not known that we're looking for clues? ”
"Don't worry, this matter, the mourning family has its own measure. The Su family does not have a soul mirror, Gu Xinian has returned to Ye Mansion, you don't have to stay on Su Chen's side, keep an eye on Gu Xinian, now, she is the key person to help us find things. ”
Ye Mansion, Gu Xinian was not surprised at all to be taken to the abandoned courtyard, but thinking that since the jade bracelet was given to her mother by the Su family, and she was looking for clues to the jade bracelet, she would ask for her mother's previous courtyard.
"I forgot, your mother's yard, okay, you can go."
Originally, I thought that the original owner and her mother also lived in the same courtyard before, so it was convenient.
But what she didn't expect was that the original owner's mother's yard was not as good as Fang Cai'......
She finally knew why it went so smoothly to ask for a change of yard, and what schadenfreude that damn old maid was doing!
The walls are half couches, the doors and windows are old, the ruins are full of broken walls, and the courtyard is barren and grassy, and it is desolate everywhere.
Walking along the green brick paved road between weeds, a faint moss grows in the damp brick cracks, and coiled vines grow everywhere.
In the courtyard, the unknown tree has been left untended for a long time, the dead leaves are all over the ground, the branches and leaves are swaying with the wind, and the wild grass and ginger under the tree are a bleak scene.
Pushing open the mottled wooden door, there were only a few broken pieces of furniture left, staggering and scattered all over the floor.
The walls of the house are empty, the roof is leaking rain, the gable is covered with mottled rain marks, and the corners of the walls are covered with cobwebs.
Dust accumulates under your feet, and with every step, you will bring with you fine dust that rises, and a smell of decay spreads through, choking your mouth and nose are disgusting.
Gusts of cold wind pierced through the broken wooden window lattices, and the tattered window paper fluttered in the wind.
"This ...... Miss...... It seems that no one has taken care of this yard for many years, otherwise we should go and change it, right? ”
Ling'er was really surprised by this dilapidated yard, she is an old man in Su Mansion, she has never seen such a dilapidated yard for so long, is this for people to live in?
Even if he knew that Gu Xinian would not have a good life when he came back, he didn't expect this, and the one he had just now would be many times better than the current one.
In contrast, Juan'er is very calm, when the family was at its lowest, where did they not sleep?
This kind of scene has long been accustomed to it.
But what surprised her was Gu Xinian, she thought that this person changed the yard to dislike the previous one, but it turned out to be a worse one, but she lost her burden and pulled her sleeves.
"For what? It's good, it's far away from their yard, it's quiet. Pack up first, at least you can make room for a place to live today. ”
As he spoke, he had already gone up to move his things.
When Ling'er saw it, she hurriedly stepped forward and grabbed her.
"Miss, how can you do this, just leave it to us here, you can rest next to you."
Gu Xinian smiled and said, "Just the two of you will receive it and receive the Year of the Monkey and the Horse Month?" I'm fine, I'll do it with you, after all, I'm sleeping here. ”
"But ......"
"Oh, but what is it? Grind for a while, there is really no place to sleep today, go get water! ”
Juan'er thought that Gu Xinian was just putting on a show, and it wouldn't be long before she revealed her true nature and went to rest.
But until she finished taking care of it, Gu Xinian cleaned up with them throughout the whole process, and when she did more than them halfway, Juan'er didn't know how to describe the feelings in her heart for a while.
Some surprised, some tangled.
I was surprised that Gu Xinian would not be afraid of being dirty and tired, and even better than them.
Entangled in, in this regard, completely subverted Gu Xinian's impression in her heart.
When Ye Chenghuan came to Qianxueju, he was already after Gu Xinian and them had cleaned up.
Because they were thinking that this place would have to be cleaned up, they didn't have the heart to look for Gu Xinian these days.
Today, I helped Ye You deliver something, so I stopped by to take a look.
But seeing the appearance in the courtyard, Ye Chenghuan couldn't help but be a little shocked.
The house is clean and tidy, except for the old wood, there is no appearance of long-abandoned appearance.
The ground should have been overgrown with weeds, but now it was cut down very low, and it was surrounded by a stone pavement, like a lawn, which was particularly eye-catching.
Today, the sun is just right, the courtyard is empty, and all the furniture and materials are taken out to dry.
At this time, Gu Xinian was thinking about how to go to the library in the house, Ling'er saw someone coming, motioned to Juan'er to stop, and ran to the house to inform Gu Xinian.
"It's been abandoned for a long time, but I didn't expect you to clean it so quickly."
Seeing Juan'er, Ye Chenghuan only felt familiar, and after thinking about it carefully, he remembered, isn't this Li Feifei's maid at the Hundred Flowers Banquet that day?
But later Li Feifei was imprisoned, wasn't she also knocked unconscious? Why haven't you seen you for a while, and you have become a maid who cherishes the year?
Thinking about it, Gu Xinian didn't come out left and right, and there was nothing to say about it, after all, they all knew about it, so they asked about it.
"I remember your name is Juan'er? Aren't you the maid of the Li family? Why are you following your big sister now? ”
"It's hard for you to let go of your grievances with your big sister and serve her. You don't have to remember what happened back then, after all, it should be the fault of our Ye family. ”
Juan'er clenched her fists, can she put it down? Ridiculous, how could she put it down!
If it weren't for Gu Xinian who buried her mother for her and hired a doctor for her younger brother, if it weren't for the fact that she still had a young brother, she would have died directly with Gu Xinian.
Seeing the emotion in Juan'er's eyes, Ye Chenghuan smiled with satisfaction.
It seems that it is still under control, as long as Juan'er hates Gu Xinian, after that, it will be much easier.
"I see that my eldest sister is also busy, and I have to rush out of the house now. My father remembered that the eldest sister and Mrs. Xian had not seen each other for many years, and Mrs. Xian did not leave anything for the eldest sister to remember.
I was asked to give this to the eldest sister, which remembered the whereabouts of some of the items of the first lady, and the eldest sister could take a look, after all, some may still be in the house, but the eldest sister has to find it herself. ”
Ye Chenghuan took out a booklet from his sleeve, handed it to Juan'er, looked at the direction of the room again, and left with a smile.
His Royal Highness invited him, and he was in a good mood today, so he spared Gu Xi New Year and talked about it another day.
When Gu Xinian went out, Ye Chenghuan had already left, and when Juan'er saw her come out, she handed her the booklet and repeated Ye Chenghuan's words by the way.
Gu Xinian nodded, turned a few pages, and asked them to be busy, and went back to the house to read the booklet.
said that Gu Luoxue came to the capital alone, and no family members appeared, but most of the records in it were Gu Luoxue's dowry.
I don't know if these dowries were prepared by the emperor or Ye You, but Gu Xinian was more inclined to the former.
These things are also precious, but they are nothing special, after all these years, they must have been taken because of Gu Luoxue's death.
Turning back further, there are some gifts for the bride at the wedding, Gu Xinian quickly glanced at it, and his eyes fell on the words "glass jade bracelet".
But...... There are no markings on it.
All other items are recorded in the location, even if Gu Luoxue holds it, it will be marked "for himself".
Only this jade bracelet has nothing.
Gu Xinian frowned, Mo Yanjue said that he was in the Library Pavilion, but the Ye family's Library Pavilion was not something that anyone could enter.
Even Ye Chenghuan, who is most liked by Ye You.
I still remember that when I was a child, Ye Chenghuan was curious, and entered the library once, Ye You didn't get used to her after knowing it, and she was even dealt with by family law.
It's just that after that time, Ye Chenghuan had a high fever and forgot about it.
"Is there any way to get in openly?"
It's too unsafe to sneak around, and she can't guarantee that she can find it all at once.
There are a lot of people staring at her in this house.,When the time comes, it's hard to guarantee that she won't be discovered.。。
By then, she would have been miserable.
