Chapter 87: Remediation
Gu Baiyu's heart was very chaotic and panicked, as long as he thought that Xiao Yanlin might be in danger in the future because of his own reasons, Gu Baiyu's heart was like being slammed into someone, and he couldn't breathe.
She didn't know how to explain her prediction in advance, just like the bandit before getting married, it may be unbelievable in the eyes of outsiders.
But Gu Baiyu also clearly remembered what Xiao Yanlin said to her last time, he said that no matter what he said, he would believe her.
This time it was the same, the palm was held backwards, and a steady stream of heat came from the place where the palms of the two met, slightly relieving Gu Baiyu's anxiety.
And Xiao Yanlin's expression was firm: "Do you remember what I said to you before, no matter what you say, I believe you." ”
This sentence was like a reassuring pill, which made Gu Baiyu's mood slowly stabilize.
"Master Hou, the collusion between the Ministry of Industry and officials in the northwest can't just be allowed to develop."
Gu Baiyu settled down and told Xiao Yanlin about his memories in a speculative way.
Including the possible consequences, the safety of the people, and the possible increase in taxes by Emperor Ye, they all said it in one breath.
At the end, Gu Baiyu said again: "If this is the case, the northwest riots, the prince has the power of the army, if His Majesty sends the Hou Ye to quell the chaos, can the Hou Ye really bear to aim the sword at the people of Daye?" ”
In her previous life, Xiao Yanlin had been ordered to go to the northwest to quell the turmoil, she didn't know what the specific situation was, she only knew that the riot was quickly quelled, but no matter how many casualties, Xiao Yanlin had a reputation for killing and bloodthirsty, and Xiao Ruoyun was after the riots were quelled, the savior generally went to the northwest, and the people simply regarded Xiao Ruoyun as the god of salvation.
Maybe Xiao Yanlin didn't care about this, but since Gu Baiyu was by his side, he wouldn't allow such a thing to happen!
Xiao Yanlin patiently listened to Gu Baiyu finish everything, raised his hand to brush his sideburns, which were a little scattered due to excitement, behind his ears, and said gently, "I know." Rest assured, I won't let that happen. ”
Gu Baiyu's heart was miraculously appeased: "What is Master Hou going to do?" ”
Xiao Yanlin stroked his hair for a moment, and then said: "I will first discuss with a few trusted colleagues and subordinates, rest assured, I will come up with a solution." But there is one ......"
He looked at Gu Baiyu with a serious expression: "Don't tell the second person about your speculations, and if you hear anything related to them in the future, don't say that you already know about it." ”
Gu Baiyu nodded, she knew that Xiao Yanlin was protecting her.
Such a speculation is too absurd, if it is known, it is her idea......
If things happen according to her guess, then she will inevitably be accused of being a woman involved in politics, alarmist, and bewildering the public;
If things really turned out as she thought, then the situation might be even more serious.
A back-of-house woman who can predict the future, she can't imagine what kind of situation she will fall into, at least she will be executed as a ghost, and at worst the whole family will be affected......
Xiao Yanlin must have thought of this, just like the last time he suppressed bandits, Xiao Yanlin said to the outside world that he had always found out about the bandits, just to get married with peace of mind, until the bandits were wiped out, no one in this world knew that this matter had something to do with her.
He had been protecting her.
Thinking of this, Gu Baiyu's heart rose again, she couldn't do such an unpredictable prophet, so could Xiao Yanlin do it? Will there be any dangers?
Seeing Gu Baiyu's worried expression, Xiao Yanlin patted her back as if soothing: "There will definitely be a way, don't worry about it first, when you have a perfect method, I'll be the first to tell you, okay?" ”
Gu Baiyu nodded, Xiao Yanlin's voice was gentle, with magical power, which calmed her overly fast heartbeat.
This matter is not trivial, neither of them has the heart to treat you and me anymore, Xiao Yanlin ate something in the house, and hurried out of the house.
After Xiao Yan left, Gu Baiyu immediately found the old housekeeper, summoned the subordinates of the Hou Mansion, re-sorted the rules of the Hou Mansion, and disposed of a few restless subordinates, killing chickens and monkeys, hoping that through beating, they would not do anything that would damage the face of the Hou Mansion during this time.
Gu Baiyu knew that the open and secret battles above the court were not so simple.
If Xiao Yanlin chooses to flow into the troubled waters of the Ministry of Industry and the Northwest, it will undoubtedly move the interests of both sides, and the ensuing struggle is almost inevitable.
And this kind of struggle is not just superficial, any mistake or omission related to Xiao Yanlin will become a reason for the other party to attack Xiao Yanlin.
Gu Baiyu couldn't help too much in the affairs of the court, so he could only do his best to stabilize the Hou Mansion and stabilize the rear for Xiao Yanlin, so that he could deal with this matter without any worries.
Gu Baiyu's movement this time was quite big, and Gu Ruan Ruan also got the news.
When the old housekeeper sent someone to call Licorice to the front yard, she was carrying a heavy futon to dry in the yard.
When someone spoke to her, Licorice unconsciously turned her face, and the slap marks were faintly visible on the left.
"Wait, I'll tell Aunt Gu and I'll go right away."
The person who came nodded: "By the way, there is also the Lingzhi girl, let's hand it over together." ”
After a while, Licorice came out, with a little embarrassment on his face: "Now Lingzhi is serving my aunt closely, and it will be a while and a half...... I can't leave. ”
The person who came thoughtfully didn't say much, just took the licorice first, and then reported it to Gu Baiyu truthfully, and even told Gu Baiyu about the injury on the licorice's face.
Gu Baiyu nodded, satisfied.
Lingzhi is the person she arranged for the past, it was the nail she chose in advance, and she found a reason to reprimand people in the garden where Gu Ruan Ruan often went, Gu Ruan Ruan really fell into the trap and asked the person to leave.
Now it seems that Lingzhi is indeed clever, not only has it won Xiao Ruoyun's love, but even Gu Ruan Ruan has been obedient to her.
Lingyu said on the side: "Why don't you call it Ganoderma lucidum?" ”
Gu Baiyu shook his head, and a smile hooked up on his lips: "It's a good sign, it's better to add more fire, Aunt Gu lacks a henchman by her side, it's best to do something for me in the future, it won't arouse suspicion." ”
Gu Baiyu said and called the old housekeeper: "Since it is to set rules for the subordinates, how can Aunt Gu not be present?" Ask her to listen to it together, so as not to be inconsiderate to the second master in the future. ”
"Also...... Lingyu, I'll find someone to inquire later, what mistake did the licorice girl make, which made Aunt Gu so angry that she even beat the wedding maid. ”
The old housekeeper rolled his eyes and passed the words to Gu Ruan Ruan as they were.
Sure enough, after Gu Ruan Ruan heard this, he was easily provoked to anger: "What are you going to do with reprimanding my subordinates?" Do I put it as a person? ”
Lingzhi used just the right amount of strength to beat Gu Ruanruan's legs, and said casually: "It's okay for my aunt to take a look, Mrs. is a good housekeeper, everyone will be present today, my aunt will show up, and follow the study, if Mrs. is too strict, it is indispensable for my aunt to speak and persuade her, so as not to resentment against Mrs." ”
Lingzhi said this very interestingly, she revealed three pieces of information to Gu Ruanruan:
One is flattery, Mrs. Butler, you go to learn, and you will have a chance in the future;
The second is to remind that everyone will be present today, many people only recognize Gu Baiyu, but they don't know Gu Ruanruan, show up more, so that the people can know that there is a master in this mansion who can be loyal;
The third is to suggest that if Mrs. is punished harshly later, Gu Ruan Ruan can just be a good person, win people's hearts, and prepare for the seizure of power in the back house in the future.
Sure enough, after Gu Ruan Ruan listened, he looked at Lingzhi with appreciation: "I need a smart person like you around me." ”
With that, he stood up and said, "Let's go, let's go and see the majesty of Madame." ”
