Chapter 23: Making Friends

"It's my honor to be able to help adults, and adults have something to say!" Wei Ning replied bluntly, it was indeed unexpected to meet Master Rong in the roadside tea shed.

If you think about it carefully, it is reasonable, as a powerful minister in the book, she will naturally become powerful, and she will naturally be left and right, and maybe Lord Rong has been waiting for her here for a long time.

Tea guests sat down one after another in the tea shed, Rong Xun got up at this time, and the black-clothed guard beside him stretched out his hand to Wei Ning and made a gesture of invitation: "There are many people here, please ask Mrs. to sit on the carriage." ”

After that, the slender white shadow headed towards the blue silk carriage parked under the trees on the street, and it stands to reason that it was inappropriate for a lonely man and a widow to ride in the same carriage in ancient times.

Although he was afraid of powerful ministers before, now that people have lowered their posture and asked for something, there is nothing to be afraid of.

Wei Ning had some doubts in his heart and didn't think much about it, and quickly got into the carriage.

"Madame was not afraid of me." Rong Xun leaned on the blanket and looked at the woman beside him, "If I guess correctly, Mrs. is just afraid of me, right?" ”

Although the carriage was spacious and the two of them sat so close, Wei Ning's fingers were a little cramped, but he was not afraid, and he was a little speechless when he was interrogated for no reason.

Could it be that he replied that he knew that he would become a strong man who would dominate Daqi in the future, so he was in awe of him?

Or is she not from the same world as him, but just stayed here temporarily in place of the original owner, so she knows everything unknown?

"Exactly." Wei Ning thought for a moment and explained along the way, "The adult is in a high position, and the woman in my backyard is naturally in awe of the power of the adult. ”

Rong Xun smiled gently: "I remember that Mrs. once had an inexplicable good impression of Zaixia, but now that Madame sees Zaixia, she is only jealous." ”

The sound of each other's breathing could be heard in the carriage, and the woman on her side was wearing a plain lake-colored water skirt, with slender and graceful bones, sitting quietly by the window, and her facial features were very delicate and beautiful.

As he spoke, his gaze was wandering to the dark begonias on her bun of Chaoyun Jinxiang.

The beautiful flower is even more elegant but charming and stunning.

"It's my sin to let adults misunderstand! Regardless of past suspicions, I would like to be friends with adults. Wei Ning didn't say a word in advance, so as not to add embarrassment, since the powerful minister had something to ask her to help, the two could naturally be friends!

Hearing this, Rong Xun couldn't help but feel funny, and said indifferently: "Madam is the first woman who is willing to make friends with Zaixia. ”

There was something else in his heart, probably surprised by her words.

Due to the difference between men and women in the world, there are not many women with such a hearty temperament as in front of them.

"To get back to the point, I heard that Mrs. is proficient in embroidery and is good at running an embroidery shop, so I want to ask Mrs. to help keep an eye on the business of the Gu family and the Xiao family."

"Naturally." Wei Ning happily responded, and then expressed the doubts in his heart.

"It's just that I don't hide it from my lord, someone in the Gu family has done unrighteous things, dare to ask my lord if he can tell me about the twists and turns?"

When the paper mill was assassinated that day, Lord Yung captured and took the assassin away, and has been puzzled ever since.

These days, the fake silver ticket is even more of a headache, and today is such a good time, I must ask what is going on!

"The assassin has already committed suicide, and the real murderer has not yet been caught."

Rong Xun smiled, but also said calmly: "Presumably, Mrs. Gu also knows about the fake silver ticket, this matter involves the secrets of the court officials, and the truth behind the scenes is still under thorough investigation." ”

"It is precisely for this matter that Mrs. Xia asked Madame to help keep an eye on the Gu family and the Xiao family."

Wei Ning asked what he was puzzled in his heart: "Can you explain the matter of the top Kabuki Green Fu girl in Wankelou?" ”

Rong Xun said calmly: "The identity of the green lady is complicated, she is a spy arranged by the Xiao family in Wankelou, and the black-clothed assassin is a person in the rivers and lakes, which is implicated in the open and secret battles of the imperial court, these ladies don't know the best, so as not to get caught on fire." ”

"I see, thank you for telling me." Wei Ning smiled slightly, and did not beat around the bush in the conversation, and most of the doubts in his heart were solved.

Since there are some irrelevant things and no interest in exploring, just take care of your own business!

"Thank you, Madame." The man in the carriage smiled gently, and his voice was very clear and pleasant.

Wei Ning actually thought it sounded very good, and when he came back to his senses, he realized that he was cranky, so he said goodbye and got out of the carriage.

Ling Shuo, who was guarding outside the carriage, asked the coachman to drive the horse, and asked, "My lord? But back home? ”

"Go to the palace."

Back to the embroidery shop, Yuyan brought back the message of the shopkeeper Xu, there are no less than dozens of embroidery shops in Daqi Kyoto, it is really surprising to ask if you don't ask, most of these embroidery shops belong to the Xiao family, and the shopkeeper Xu helps the Zhang family take care of Beiyuzhai, but he can't fight the Xiao family's monopoly on the embroidery business.

What's more interesting is that the eldest lady of the Xiao family, Wu, was not born in a family of eunuchs, her father was a well-known businessman in Kyoto, and Xiao was just a fourth-grade official, so she married Wu in order to enrich her family.

In addition, the shopkeeper Xu also mentioned that Lord Yin Sun of Kyoto Prefecture was friendly with the Wu family, so the Xiao family took over the embroidery shop business in Kyoto.

In addition, Aunt Ying, who was next to Princess Lehua, once said that Concubine Shang and the Wu family were distant relatives, and the main room of the little four-grade official was so big and deep-rooted, it seemed that the matter of fake silver tickets was becoming more and more complicated.

At this time, in the hall of the east courtyard of the Gu Mansion, the maid Ning Lu walked up to the Qin family, and respectfully saluted and replied: "Back to Mrs. Hui's words, the eldest lady went to Aunt Lan's embroidery shop with jade smoke today. ”

"You're a sensible man." Qin Shi nodded, his tone was quite satisfied, and waved his hand to let her take the reward, "In the future, the whereabouts of Qiyu Pavilion will be reported in time, and the benefits of you and your family will be indispensable." ”

Ning Lu took the silver taels handed by Mama and put them in her pocket happily: "Thank you, Mrs. for the reward!" The slave and maid will do their best! ”

"Go ahead, and tell Aunt Zhou when you leave the house, so that she doesn't have to be too polite to the Wei family!"

The Qin family was a little tired, took Mama's hand and got up, and left instructions when he walked into the middle hall, and Ning Lu just responded, but Second Miss Gu didn't follow the second lady at this time, turned her head and shouted: "Ning Lu and wait, I have something to say to you." ”

"What do you have to say about the second miss? The slave and maid will do a good job. Ning Lu bent down and said respectfully, the second lady is the pearl of the second lady's palm, and she must be responsive.

Gu Mingyun's face was gloomy, and she instructed Xiwen to bring something: "You give this thing to Aunt Lan, and let her find an opportunity to mix it into the clothes of the embroidery shop." ”

Seeing Ning Lu's suspicious face, Gu Mingyun chuckled, and Xiwen made a mysterious point: "Miss will do it if you ask you to do it, and Miss will take care of anything." ”

The colored glazed medicine bottle is light and fluttering, and the condensation is held in the palm of his hand and put away his doubts, since he regards the Qin family as the main one, the second lady said this, how can it be a slave to be a slave, so she took the things and hurriedly retreated.

But just after a few people dispersed, there was a person standing under the cloister outside the house, and he couldn't move in place for a long time.

This person was Gu Mingxuan, who was passing by the door of his mother's room, and when he heard Fang Cai's words, he couldn't be unfazed, and those bad things were clearly said from the mouth of his loved ones who he had always respected and loved.

On one side is the mother and eldest sister, and on the other side is the aunt of the Gu Mansion, Gu Mingxuan remembered the gentle and bright woman he met in the mansion that day, and it was difficult to make a choice in his heart, so he asked the scholar to lead the way: "Shimo, follow me to the North Courtyard." ”
