Chapter 8: Ya'er

The next day, the news that Nangong Wan'er had a twin sister swept through the entire capital like a flood. Up and down the capital, up to the emperor-

In the early dynasty, he ridiculed Nangong Yao for being so deeply hidden, even a girl had to hide it so well.

Down to the common peopleβ€”

"Hey, did you hear that? The talented girl who is famous in the capital actually has a twin sister! ”

"Two peerless beauties, did the Nangong family help the Bodhisattva in their last life?"

"It's fake, if it's true, why don't you say it now. Isn't it just a daughter, no matter how beautiful she is, she doesn't have to hide it for so many years. ”

"Impossible, the emperor knows it, if there is a fake, it will be a bully! How dare he Nangong Yao...... Besides, that day, did the Nangong family not know how to lead their two younger sisters to the theater to listen to the play? Many people have seen it with their own eyes. I guess it's because the second daughter is also old enough to get married, so she has to be a last resort. So this news is absolutely true. ”

"What else can I say, I can only say that his Nangong family is really blessed......"

At the same time, there were already many protΓ©gΓ©s of the Nangong family dressed as civilians in many teahouses, and they secretly inquired:

"Hey, little two." A chivalrous man with a public face stuffed Xiao Er with a silver ingot, and Xiao Er instantly smiled and said busily:

"What does the guest officer want to ask? The villain must know everything and say everything. ”

"How much do you know about the six-year-old child who fled ten years ago?"

Inside the screen on the side.

"Lord Wang, recently, there have been frequent inquiries about the six-year-old child who fled ten years ago." The man in black with a resolute face bowed his head and hugged his fists.

Someone's hand holding the teacup with two fingers on the table couldn't help but sway, and a few drops of tea splashed into the mouth of the person holding the cup.

"Is it the prince?" On the side, Li Lao looked at the man in black with wide eyes, and then quickly looked at the person sitting at the table, "Could it be that we were exposed?" β€œ

"Not the prince." The man in black spoke calmly, his voice without the slightest wave, "My subordinates followed all the way and recognized a few people who were loyal to Nangong Yao." β€œ

"Nangong?" The person at the table is as soft as jade and has an extraordinary temperament, it is Yun Xichen.

"Hasn't the Nangong family always been neutral, how could he suddenly go to great lengths to use his network to find out about a person with an ethereal background?" Li Lao frowned.

"Nangong's house has been very lively recently." Yun Xichen gently wiped the water stains on his hands with white silk.

"What does the prince mean...... The second lady who suddenly appeared? β€œ

Yun Xichen put down the white silk, looked at Li Lao and smiled slightly: "Look, you also used two 'suddenly'." He slowly got up and walked to the window and stood in the backlight, "The coincidences in this world have always been connected. ”

"It seems that the new second lady of the Nangong family...... I'm very interested. ”

"Need a villain...... The man in black looked grim and quickly scratched his finger on his neck.

"Not necessarily." Yun Xichen raised his hand to stop, "It's just a woman, don't startle the snake for the time being." Besides, the Nangong family is not easy to mess with. ”

"So what?" Li Lao asked.

"Chen Ran." Yun Xichen turned around and shouted.

The man in black knelt on one knee and looked up in response, "Yes." ”

"Destroy all the clues that have been reported from the flight ten years ago. Remember, clean it all. Yun Xichen's gaze suddenly sharpened a little.

"The subordinates are white." Chen Ran clenched his fists and agreed.

Chen Ran was just about to leave, but Yun Xichen hesitated for a while, but still stopped him:

"Chen Ran, help me go to the best jewelry shop in the capital to customize a silver hairpin."

"Why did the prince ......" Chen Ran's voice was full of doubts, and Li Lao on the side was also stupid.

Is it for your favorite Oiran?

It's impossible, the prince has never been close to women, not to mention that kind of land of wind and snow, he has never even approached. On more than one occasion, he instructed his subordinates not to go near such a place of black smoke and miasma.

Could it be that you have a girl you like?

It's impossible, he knows how much the prince is infatuated with someone in the Miao family.

Chen Ran had already begun to think about it, and his eyes when he looked at Yun Xichen were unconsciously a little ambiguous.

"Don't ask, just go." Yun Xichen didn't seem to want to explain more, but just waved his hand and asked him to go as soon as possible. Chen Ran replied respectfully and stepped back.

He was left sitting alone at the table, not knowing what to think, when a peach-colored figure wearing a silver hairpin suddenly appeared in front of him, and he couldn't help but chuckle as he gazed at her.

……

"How can there be no clue at all!" Nangong Wan'er immediately stood up according to the mahogany table and looked at her subordinates in disbelief. Xiao Han also heard the sound and walked over from the side.

With a deep furrow on her brows, Wan'er waved her hand to let her subordinate step back, and she grabbed the armrest of the wooden chair herself.

"It shouldn't be......"

Before helping Xiaohan find someone, she thought that it was estimated that many people were eligible, and she had already prepared for a long time to investigate, but now the result is indeed - not one?

Every year, there are not 100 but 80 families who can't stand the high taxes in the capital and move in, plus beggars and criminals...... She didn't believe it!

"The day you said ten years ago coincided with the death of the first queen, so there were many eunuchs who were convicted, and even more eunuch families who escaped from the capital. How can there be no news at all......"

Unless......

Unless someone deliberately covers it up.

And the person who can seal the news to this extent must be a person of high authority.

"Xiaohan, there may be a person whose identity is not simple among the people who fled ten years ago......," Wan'er lay on the carved wooden chair, stretching her body, "Let me ask you, do you remember what that person was dressed back then?" β€œ

Xiao Han also pulled a chair and sat next to her and recalled carefully: "Hmm...... He is the standard Central Plains costume, a brocade robe, and a jade pendant pinned to his waist. β€œ

This sentence directly frightened Wan'er to sit up suddenly, and hurriedly asked, "Really?" β€œ

Xiao Han nodded, and said in his heart, what's so strange about this.

"A refugee dressed like this?" Wan'er was alarmed in her heart, and shouted outward, "Come on, come on!" β€œ

The subordinate just now came in response.

"Take all the ...... who were out of the house ten years ago"

"Wait a minute, Wan'er!" Xiao Han interrupted her suddenly.

"What's wrong," Wan'er asked, turning her head.

"You yourself said that there were many families of eunuchs who fled at that time, and it was nothing that the families of eunuchs were dressed luxuriously...... Besides, it's not very good for you to openly investigate high-ranking officials and nobles. Xiao Han was afraid that doing this would implicate the Nangong family, and every time Wan'er was anxious to help her find someone recently, she saw it all in her eyes, and she really didn't want to trouble them anymore.

Wan'er thought about it carefully and felt that it was too, but she always felt that the person Xiao Han was looking for was not simple......

"Two young ladies, Madame is looking for you." There was the shouting of a maid and a knock at the door.

……

"Xiaohan, now you are the daughter of the Nangong family, so in two days, you both have to attend the Queen Mother's birthday banquet." Lin Cui said.

Wan'er raised her eyebrows: "Didn't you never participate before?" Why did you go this time? ”

Lin Cui came up and knocked Wan'er on the forehead, and said slightly angrily: "Why do you say? It's not to pick a wishful husband for you! ”

"Ahh......h

On the main seat, Nangong Yao suddenly spoke: "Xiaohan, Daddy gave you a new name Ya'er, and in the future, you will be the second lady of the Nangong family, so you will be called Nangong Ya'er." This time, you must not show your feet, are you white? ”

Xiao Han nodded and said, "It's white." ”

"Ah, also, help your brother also pay attention to whether there are any good boudoir misses, he is also old." Lin Cui is very inappropriate to interject.

"Madam, in addition to being a matchmaker or a matchmaker every day, marriage has its own fixed number, let the children choose by themselves, don't ......" The three words "worry" swallowed into his stomach, feeling Lin Cui's murderous gaze, Nangong Yao was very familiar - shut up.

Obviously, Lin Cui didn't intend to give up.

"What do you mean by choosing for yourself?! Have you ever heard of the words of the matchmaker of your parents? Yes? In case I don't marry well, if I marry badly and delay the happiness of my children in the second half of my life, can you afford this responsibility? ”

Lin Cui's voice shook the sky, and the two girls couldn't interject half a sentence.

"Who will they blame when the time comes? Not yet! You don't care about anything, you don't understand anything, and you blame me for worrying about it? ”

Nangong Yao and Xiao Han Wan'er invariably blocked their ears.

"What do you mean by being a matchmaker or being a matchmaker?! Nangong Yao, let me ask you, who is in charge of the accounts in this accounting room? Who is in charge of this housework? Nangong Yao, do you still have a conscience, I suffered so much when I married you, do I have half a complaint? Did I cry out in pain when I gave birth to Wan'er Xu'er? Now that the days are good, you do this to me? ”

Xiao Han and Wan'er quietly slipped out from behind Lin Cui, and Nangong Yao could only cast envious glances at them. Wan'er smiled and waved her hand at her father, and said with a mouth shape, "Bye, you are so self-conscious." Then he dragged Xiaohan to slip away.

Nangong Yao on the side was angry with her, and he was about to scold her when he pointed at her, but ......

"Nangong Yao! You speak to the old lady! ”

Lin Cui didn't give him this chance. With a red face and a violent rise and fall in her chest, she has the posture that if you don't speak, your mother will fight you again for 300 games.

Nangong Yao: I really can't say it...... (Lying on the ground crying)
