Chapter 41: The Greasy Girl (2)

Jin Ge's study was full of scattered books, Jin Xuan rarely walked through the main entrance once, almost had nowhere to stay, she tiptoed behind Jin Ge, who was busy with her back, put down the food box she was carrying, and was about to say something wrong: "Jin ......"

"Just in time, help me hand over the tome on your left." Jin Ge didn't cooperate with her heart at all, and opened his mouth to interrupt her.

"Okay...... Jinxuan put down the hand holding the hem of her skirt, reluctantly picked up the book and handed it to Jin Ge, "Don't you think about me if you haven't seen me all these days?" ”

"I want to know what you're doing in Fengyang Pavilion all day long, so you don't have to worry about it. Come, this stack of letters for me to put in the empty box on the bookcase. Jin Ge took the book, and without raising his head, he took another stack of letters and stuffed them into Jinxuan's hand.

It has been less than a quarter of an hour since Jinxuan came, and she has fully integrated into the rhythm of Jin Ge and began to help sort it out. No wonder she was in a hurry to call her into the house, and her feelings were waiting for her to help.

When the two of them worked together to sort out the study to its original appearance, Jinxuan picked up the rose cake in the food box and stuffed herself with a mouthful, muttering, "I'm so tired...... Why don't you call RosΓ© to help......"

Jin Ge sat back in front of the bookcase, poured himself a cup of tea, and tasted it slowly for a while, until Xu Zhinan knocked on the door and took a group of maidservants to pack the books and leave.

She touched the only remaining box on the desk, and said in a voice that only two people could hear: "It's not a good thing that it's too deep." ”

If there are really variables, as ordinary maids, it is the best result for them to stay away from disputes.

There are some things that may be good if you don't know.

Judging from the letters that have been turned out in recent days, there are quite suspicious points about the loyalty and martyrs of the Qingyang Hou Mansion back then, but it has been too long, and there are many strange links, and not many people remember the specific contents.

Jin Ge also learned a thing or two under Xu Zhinan's secret suggestion, and then suddenly wanted to sort out his parents' old things, these correspondence are mostly daily trivial, and I think that important letters must have been collected in a hidden place. She felt that Xu Zhinan knew too much about these things, and it was not like the scope of a housekeeper's concern, but the Xu family had been working in the Hou Mansion for generations, and after Jin Ge entered the palace, it was Xu Bo who was taking care of everything in the Hou Mansion and guarding the Qingyang Hou Mansion, which had long since lost its owner. Now that Uncle Xu has long passed away, he has no interests with Xu Zhinan, he should have no malicious intentions, but he still has reservations.

Why? Is it because he doesn't have the ability recognized by Xu Zhinan to know this?

The name of "Demon King of the Mixed World" has been passed on for too long, which may have made Steward Xu have a little misunderstanding about himself. Jin Ge sighed, people always have to pay the price for their past actions.

After going through all these things, she no longer has the heart to go out with Jinxuan to mess around.

It's rare that Jinxuan is still happy every day.

"Xuan, what did you bring with you today?" Jin Ge glanced at the food box on the table, and when Jinxuan took out the contents of the contents, she laughed.

There were several pieces of rose crisp on the plate, except for the one that Jinxuan had just eaten in front of her, and the remaining rose crisp was difficult to continue with even the basic plating style.

Jin Ge: "Is it some little gluttonous cat stealing food on the road?" ”

Jinxuan waved her hand again and again: "No, no, I met a little civet slave on the road and fed it a little." ”

Jin Ge smiled even happier: "Hahahaha, what cat will eat rose cake?" ”

She knows Gu Jinxuan's cat-hateful physique, how can a cat be willing to approach her, let alone eat what she gives. Besides, cats really don't eat rose crisps.

"Really! It's right there on the back wall of your house! I heard movement outside the wall and threw several pieces at it! ”

"Hahaha... Did it eat then? ”

"Eat, eat! Except for the first time I threw it and didn't eat it, I didn't find it after that, and I must have been taken away by it! ”

Jinxuan tried her best to prove that her physique had really improved, and Ruifeng's eyes widened, hoping that Jin Ge'er could see sincerity in her eyes.

Jin Ge slowed down for a while, pushed Jin Xuan's head too close with his white index finger, and asked, "Do you see the appearance of that tanuki slave clearly?" ”

"Not really, it was gone when I flipped in."

"Where?"

"The back wall."

Jin Ge stopped talking, she was not a person like Jinxuan who didn't have basic common sense, and cats would definitely not eat rose cakes. Besides, the back wall is inaccessible, and there is no one living nearby, so the people in the house will not easily pass by. If it's not a cat, it's certainly not something else.

It seems that the guards outside the mansion have been slackened recently, and someone has taken the opportunity to make a move.

"Okay, okay," Jin Ge, who was pondering, was arched by Jinxuan, and had to give up thinking and push the person who was making trouble in her arms to a safe distance, "Ah Xuan, do me a favor." When I went back, I went to the Xianwang Mansion to see what Nuoye's sister-in-law had been doing in recent days, and asked her if she could come to the mansion to talk about it. ”

There were a few letters that vaguely mentioned the Jiangnan Su family, and she hoped to get some information from Nuoye's sister-in-law.

As for Brother Zisu's recent frequent letters...... Jin Ge couldn't bear to be disturbed, so he sent these carrier pigeons to the back kitchen of Fuzhong. After adding several meals in a row, even a thin person like Butler Xu looked rounded.

"Do you miss Sister-in-law Nuoye too? I was also going to go over to take a look, anyway, the second brother has helped my father deal with government affairs in the past two days, and he is not very home, I think that Sister-in-law Nuoye is lonely, and I went to accompany her, just right, the three of us haven't been lively together for a long time. ”

……

The next day, Princess Xian was a guest at the princess's mansion, and she was supposed to put on a banquet to treat her guests, but Princess Xian instructed her subordinates to visit Steward Xu in advance, pointing out that it was just a reminiscence between friends, and it did not mean that the princess's mansion came.

When Steward Xu heard this, he cancelled the banquet-related matters on the spot, and without even bringing a change of clothes, he welcomed Princess Xian at the gate of the mansion.

When Su Nuoye got off the sedan chair, his eyes stayed on the young man in blue, and he just glanced at it meaningfully, and was pulled into Jinge's study by Jin Xuan.

Yesterday, Jinxuan didn't stay for a moment, she came out of the princess's mansion and went straight to the Xianwang Mansion, if it wasn't for the fact that it was getting late and was sent back to the palace by Gu Yubai, who returned to the house, she even wanted to stay overnight.

The three of them sat in the study and chatted about homely things, until dinner time was approaching, Jinxuan had to show Jin Ge her newly learned dishes, and pulled Jin Ge to the kitchen, Jin Ge couldn't help it, so she could only watch Nuo Ye's sister-in-law see her two leave.

Su Nuoye put down the teacup in his hand, sat upright and said, "Gentleman Liangshang, have you missed the distance?" ”

A masked man in a night robe fell from the beam, facing Su Nuoye, he looked at the woman in front of him and grabbed the short knife in his hand.

"Dare to ask Your Excellency, why did you visit the Princess's Mansion?" Su Nuoye took a sip of tea and asked.

The masked man was silent.

"Although Jin Ge'er has a bad reputation outside the palace, she used to do good deeds when she followed the Queen Mother to worship the Buddha. She is a princess raised by the queen mother and crowned by the emperor, so she naturally has what she wants, and who will she have a conflict of interest with? ”

The masked man still stood there, making a defensive gesture.

There was no response, and Su Nuoye was not annoyed, she looked directly into the murderous eyes of the person in front of her, and said with a warm smile: "It seems that this righteous man made a mistake."

"Can't figure out how you were exposed?" Su Noye was still smiling, but the masked man was alerted for no reason.

"Yes."

"It tastes special." That is, Jinxuan and Jinge, who are used to smelling aromatherapy, can't smell the subtle smell of roses in the air.

It seems to be a special spice from Zuishenglou, and this person has a very chic life.

The masked man got the answer, nodded, and immediately turned his head to leave.

"The autumn wind blows the ground and the grass is dry, and the gorgeous blue shadow is cold at night."

He heard Su Nuoye's recitation, and in an instant, the short knife came out of its sheath and rested on the slender white neck of Su Nuoye, who was still sitting upright, and asked in a cold voice, "What did you say?" ”

Su Nuoye glanced at the man who was pressing in front of her, the cold temperature on her neck showed that her life was in the hands of this man, and her eyebrows were still full of smiles: "Don't be nervous, if something happens to me, it will be difficult for you to come in next time." ”

β€œβ€¦β€¦β€

"Of course I won't betray you, otherwise I wouldn't have asked you to come down and talk about it."

The two fell into a stalemate, the guards and maidservants outside the door followed Jin Ge to the kitchen, and Su Nuoye's own maidservants had already been sent by her to close the door and go elsewhere. There was an eerie silence in the air.

After a long time, Su Nuoye didn't expect this person to say anything, looking like a stuffy gourd, she took the lead in breaking the silence: "I'm curious......"

"Jin Ge'er! Believe me again, please. Outside the door, Jinxuan's somewhat distorted shouts came, and then there was a sound of footsteps outside the door, and the masked man put away his short knife and turned over and climbed onto the beam, and his black night clothes were hidden in the dark.

Su Nuoye stood up and tidied up his collar for a while, and in the next second, the door was pushed open from the outside by Jin Ge.

Su Nuoye's gaze crossed Jin Ge and looked at Jin Xuan, who was following closely, and she asked, "What's the contradiction?" Jinxuan, you talk about it. ”

"Woo, I just, I accidentally ruined Jin Ge's last braid tea...... "Jinxuan stepped into the door, straightened out the hem of her somewhat messy clothes, and said aggrievedly.

"There's no stock in the house, just go buy some more, you two, is it necessary to make a fuss like this?" Su Nuoye smiled.

Jinxuan: "But Sister-in-law Nuoye, you don't know, the rainy season returned two days before Zuishenglou, and most of the tea was ruined......

Su Nuoye: "That's always some left, it's not worth it to be angry about this matter." ”

Jin Xuan suddenly remembered what she had experienced when she went to Zuisheng Lou yesterday, and she wanted to speak for a while, but she was looked at by Jin Ge, who was angry, and under the pressure, Jin Xuan had no choice but to tell the truth.

"I went to Zuisheng Building yesterday to buy you your favorite braided tea, but the shopkeeper said that most of it was bought by a woman like you." Jin Xuan confessed one by one.

When Jin Ge heard this, she couldn't care about getting angry, she frowned, this information was a bit too much.

Unknown people were mixed in the house, a woman in the capital who was very similar to her, and coupled with the several assassinations she had encountered before, she seemed to have become the one affected by the storm.

"Jin Ge'er, your situation is very dangerous," Su Nuoye took a sip of tea after sitting down, and continued on his own, "Father and Emperor have made an order, and even the Imperial Grandmother can't make Father and Emperor take back the will, let alone Yu Bai." No one can help you now, and maybe the only one who has a way is the eldest brother. ”

Jin Ge rubbed his temples.

Su Nuoye sighed and beckoned to Mu Jinge. After the little girl came over, she whispered in Mu Jinge's ear: "This place is full of dangers, it is not advisable to stay for a long time, only if they don't know where you are, you are relatively safe." ”

With that, she got up and left.

Monk Gu Jinxuan was at a loss, so he had to look at Mu Jinge. Mu Jinge glanced at her, and she knew that Mu Jinge would find the right time to tell her, after all, the sisterhood for many years has been together since wearing open crotch pants, and she still understands this little look.

When the time is right, of course, is when the lights go out. Xiao Anzi is guarding outside the door, so she doesn't have to worry about the ears on the wall.

"Sister-in-law Nuoye persuaded me to go find Brother Zisu." Mu Jinge said softly.

"And what do you think?" Jinxuan propped up her head.

"I don't have a clue yet. But Sister-in-law Nuoye is right, there are hidden dangers in this house. ”

"If it's not safe, what are you going to do?" Jin Xuan was puzzled.

"The emperor has grounded me in the mansion, if I leave, it will be a bully, how can the other people in this mansion save their lives?" Jin Ge sighed, she had a trace of expectation, Brother Zisu's letters were becoming more and more frequent, and it was not a way for her to drag it all the time, but it was difficult to say a few words on the letter, and there was a hidden danger of being intercepted.

But she couldn't abandon the lives of hundreds of people in the princess's mansion.

Jinxuan: "It's okay, it's good not to let my father find out." It just so happened that I recently got the news that a messenger came secretly from the Northern Desert, although I don't know what was discussed, but my father has been in a hurry for the past two days, and even the second brother has been pulled to help, so it can be seen that he doesn't care about this side at all. ”

"Besides, you've been grounded for so long, and you don't go out on weekdays, no one comes to look for you except me, and no one will find out if you don't show up for ten days and half a month, and ah, don't I support you very much when I hear Sister-in-law Nuoye? When the time comes, please ask her to take care of the rest of the Houfu. ”

She saw that Xu Zhinan had secretly even packed up her luggage for Jin Ge, and she probably got up early, but she didn't have a chance to break it.

"But the road is far away, Ah Xuan ......" Jin Ge still hesitated.

"It's okay, and me! I'll go with you. Jinxuan patted her chest, "Go back and let the second brother find an excuse to ground me, and I can sneak out." ”

Anyway, the second brother seems to be eager to let her settle down a little recently.
