Chapter 362: The First Spring Rain

The little misunderstanding of Mrs. Gui will not have any impact on Zhou Wenjun's sisters and Begonia.

They just said it in the letter, as if it were a joke.

Zhou Wenjun sent a letter to Haitang today, inviting her to participate in his feast.

She is going back to Ganzhou, and Zhou Xuejun is going to follow her parents to Beijing, and the sisters are separated, and I don't know how many years it will be when they say goodbye. Therefore, she thought that before leaving, she would get together again and invite her good sisters and friends over, which was also the meaning of giving herself and Zhou Xuejun a good trip.

On such an occasion, she only hoped that all the guests she liked would attend, and she didn't want to reluctantly invite Wu Qiong over, making everyone uncomfortable talking. But if she held this small banquet in the garden of the Zhenguo Mansion, even if she was unhappy in her heart, she would have to give a post to Wu Qiong, who was living at home. In desperation, she had no choice but to go to another courtyard outside, so as not to have to be distracted to entertain Wu Qiong, and face Mrs. Gui to find fault at any time.

The Duchess of Zhenguo didn't really want to agree, and persuaded her to hold a banquet at home as much as possible. Recently, the Zhou family has something to do, and the city is not very peaceful, she doesn't want her granddaughter to cause chaos at such a time.

Zhou Wenjun could vaguely sense that the elders of the Zhenguo Mansion were busy with a big matter. She didn't know exactly what it was, but she wasn't going to make a mess of them. It's just that there is no sign of peace in Chang'an City at the moment, as long as her small banquet is held during the day, and all the guests are returned home before dark, then there is nothing wrong with it. Anyway, she just didn't want to hold a banquet at home, so she had to invite Wu Qiong to make everyone uncomfortable. And she still wants to invite Begonia, what if Wu Qiong is influenced by her mother and Mrs. Gui and says something inexplicable in front of Begonia?

The guests of the Zhenguo Mansion are ugly, and it seems that even the young lady of the Zhenguo Mansion will be faceless!

Zhou Wenjun talked badly in front of his grandmother, the Duchess of Zhenguo, and finally obtained the permission of her old man's family to hold a small banquet in the courtyard for a day and entertain good sisters and friends. It's just that in the Zhenguo Mansion, she will only say that she will invite her sisters to play in the other courtyard, not to mention that she will also invite female guests with foreign surnames. As long as Mrs. Gui doesn't know that Zhou Wenjun's banquet also invited Haitang and other young ladies from other families, she has no reason to make a fuss about letting her daughter go to the party between the sisters of the Zhou family.

Because of this, after receiving the invitation, Haitang should also act as low-key as possible, and don't spread the news, so that Mrs. Gui knows that there are people with foreign surnames who will become guests at Zhou Wenjun's banquet.

Although this matter is a little troublesome, considering that Zhou Wenjun acted so carefully, just for the sake of her friend, who was inexplicably hated by Mrs. Gui, Haitang has nothing to complain about. She wrote a reply to Zhou Wenjun, thanked the other party for the invitation, and said that she would go to the banquet on time and bring the gifts prepared for the other party by the way.

What is this gift, Begonia also thought about it. She spent two days to make a delicate embroidered belt for Zhou Wenjun, with different colors and patterns on both sides to match different clothes, and also brought several mezzanines and hidden pockets, which can hide gold and silver, paper strips, medicines, needles and threads, even small knives and hidden weapons can also be hidden, and the special materials and unique stitches of embroidery can ensure that the needle tips and sharp edges hidden in them will not hurt people. The belt can also be adjusted according to the change of the wearer's waist, which is practical and versatile, and can be said to be a must-have for home travel.

Begonia buried herself in making a belt for two days. On the day she finished it, the reef returned home with the latest news, and the spies that the Sun family had planted in the surrounding area of Chang'an should have basically gathered somewhere outside Chang'an City. The Tang family heard the news from the nurturing grandmothers, and knew that someone had contacted them and was waiting for them to go out of the city to meet. The Zhenguo Mansion and the Tang family are currently struggling, whether to take advantage of the other party's meeting to wipe out all the people in advance, or wait until the other party besieges the small Zhuangzi where Jin Jiashu temporarily lives?

Although the former can also catch people, but they just met, and they didn't do anything illegal, it was easy for the Zhou and Tang families to arrest people, but if they were dug up in the future, they were afraid that they would not be able to keep up with the boss.

The capital has officially issued an order, Tu Rong and Zeng Qingxi will soon arrive in Chang'an, when the time comes, they will inevitably inquire about the Zhou family's recent movements, in case they find some clues, the Zhou family also has to consider what excuse to use to explain their actions. Being a spy for the Sun family is not a serious crime! The Zhou and Tang families will be hostile to the Sun family, but Tu and Zeng may not take it to heart.

When they followed and monitored the people who raised their grandmothers, they found that there were only a few people they met outside the city, and the people of the Zhou and Tang families finally didn't need to be entangled anymore.

There is no option to arrest people in advance, so they still have to wait until this group of Sun family's lackeys besiege the "Jin Jiashu" in Zhuangzi, and then arrest each other on the charge of robbers.

Zhou Yijun finally finished his imitation practice. When he changed into Jin Jiashu's clothes, combed Jin Jiashu's hair, spoke in Jin Jiashu's tone, and sat in Jin Jiashu's wheelchair and moved around the room with closed doors and windows, not to mention Haijiao and Lao Zhangtou and others, even Jin Jiashu himself would think that the people in the house were himself.

On that day, the first rain of the spring fell in Chang'an.

It was dark, stormy, and before evening, there were hardly any pedestrians in the city, and every house was lit with lights.

"Haijiao" and "Zhou Yijun" rode horses, with two Zhou family guards, and returned to the Haijia in the city before the city gate closed.

In front of Hai's house, the two teenagers were laughing and joking, so much so that the "reef" almost stepped on the air when they got off the horse. His feet seemed to have a turn, but I didn't care, I just laughed and scolded "Zhou Yijun" for two sentences. "Zhou Yijun" was very guilty, and left two guards to help the "reef" enter the door, and went back to the Zhenguo Mansion alone. The two made an appointment to meet again in three days.

Waiting for "Zhou Yijun" to leave on horseback, "Haijiao" entered the door with the support of two Zhou family guards, and as soon as the gate of the Haijia family was closed, the atmosphere inside the door suddenly changed.

Xie Wenzai and Hai Changan have been waiting in the front yard for a long time. They all smiled faintly as they watched the "sea reef" put down the hood from his cloak and undo the scarf that blocked the wind, revealing Jin Jiashu's face.

Jin Jiashu straightened up and bowed to the two elders.

Xie Wenzai quickly helped him up and said, "Very well done." Outsiders will only think that Baoshun is coming home, but they will not think that it is you who came, but Baoshun went to the Zhenguo Mansion. ”

Jin Jiashu bowed his head and said, "Next...... The juniors bothered. ”

He was going to stay at Hai's house for a few days. And the real reef has already gone to the Zhenguo Mansion in Zhou Yijun's clothes at this time, and tomorrow he will change into the dress of a small servant and go to Zhuangzi to accompany Zhou Yijun who stayed there as a stand-in for Jin Jiashu. The three of them swapped identities and acted in such a scene, just to dispel the doubts of the Sun family's spies and confirm that Jin Jiashu lived on Zhuangzi, and Zhou Yijun and Haijiao had returned home separately.

It's not that they are too careful and have to take such a painstaking stage to act out such a scene, but after raising Mama to go out of the city and meet the spies of the Sun family, whether it is the small Zhuangzi where Jin Jiashu lives, or the Zhenguo Mansion and the vicinity of the Hai family, there are more people watching the sentry. The close correspondence between the three teenagers attracted each other's attention. They want to attack Jin Jiashu, of course, they have to avoid people who shouldn't be provoked.

A young man from an ordinary military civilian official's family on the reef is just a little better at most, which will cause some trouble to their actions, but Zhou Yijun is the little master of the Zhenguo Mansion. If the spies hurt him during their actions, they might attract the Zhou family to search for him. The spies of the Sun family didn't want to cause trouble, so of course they had to find a chance for Jin Jiashu to be alone.

Now, the "opportunity" they wanted has come to their door.
