It is impossible to set off tomorrow, and the nearest auspicious day of the zodiac is the day after tomorrow, but you can set off back to Qinghe Village early in the morning after tomorrow.

The gentleman has already prepared the existing books, made a list of assignments, how to contact them next, and how often to come and make arrangements.

In terms of life, the affairs of Zhuangzi here have been ordered, and the things that should be purchased have also been prepared, and some items will be delivered before dark.

What else is left, unprepared?

To worship Master Zhou, I have to go there later.

It seems that there is no more.

Gu Wenxuan pondered for a moment, and decided to leave early the day after tomorrow.

Before he was going to accompany Zhou Banxia to go out to worship Master Zhou, he asked Zhiming to run a dart game in person.

In fact, half of the people in the Shunyi Dart Bureau and their group who came back from Zhending Mansion had to continue to escort others to Baocheng Mansion, but the steward of Dingzhou Mansion, where the Dart Bureau was located, also told him.

Because Dingzhou Mansion is in the middle of Zhending Mansion and Baocheng Mansion.

Therefore, the dart bureau often receives dart orders at the branch point of Dingzhou Mansion, and it is very convenient to form a team.

But, after all, it is safer to send Zhiming to personally go to the official order, but I don't know where Yun Chengming, the young owner, is going to the team now.

It's fast.

Gu Wenxuan had just returned to Zhuangzi with Zhou Banxia to worship Master Zhou, and the two of them were about to divide into two ways, when Zhiming came back.

According to Gu Wenxuan's instructions, the order was booked to meet in front of the branch on the side of Dingzhou Mansion in the middle of the day after tomorrow, and inquired about Yun Chengming's direct return to Qingyang County in the near future, and he also got a pile of letters.

In other words, Yun Chengming took the car back to Qingyang County directly from Baocheng Mansion to Dingzhou Mansion, counting the time, and almost hoped to meet on the way back.

I haven't seen Yun Chengming for more than three months, except for the letters I received from the dart bureau during the period, to be honest, Gu Wenxuan still misses him, Brother Yun.

Looking at the pile of letters, there was also a wooden box handed over to Yun Chengming by the shopkeeper Hu that Zhiming said, and he couldn't help but be a little surprised.

It's not that the two of them don't want to go home, why is Yun Chengming in a hurry, and when he learned that he had recently gone from Zhending Mansion to Dingzhou Mansion, he asked Senior Brother Entrusting him to bring it here.

A bunch of letters.

You don't need to open it to know that it comes from Uncle Zhang Dazhuang, Gu Yourong, the head of Zhuangzi Zhuang on the other side of Fucheng, and the neighbors you know during the preparation for the exam in Fucheng.

What matters?

I can't wait for a moment, I have to send it to Dingzhou Mansion first?

Zhou Banxia quickly opened each letter and looked at it roughly, "There is no big deal mentioned in the letter, there are major matters waiting for us to deal with." ”

"That should be Gu Yourong was very anxious when he handed over the things to Yun Chengming, which made Yun Chengming misunderstand, you can see what is in this small box of Aunt Mei."

It is said that it is a small box, but in fact, compared to the dowry box, this wooden box is not large, and it is the size of a bedside table with a wooden frame on the outside.

It's about the same height as the bedside table, but it's slightly wider than the big slap.

Then cut the outer layer of linen with scissors, and it is a makeup box.

Seeing this, Zhou Banxia's heart moved, and he opened one of the small drawers.

Inside was a letter, handed it to Gu Wenxuan, and continued to open the small drawer.

Another letter.

Then hand it to Gu Wenxuan.

"This letter was written by Aunt Mei."

"I know that Aunt Mei will not commit any of the following crimes."

The corners of Gu Wenxuan's mouth twitched, as for him, he had to put Mrs. Qian's letter in a small drawer, "What other mysteries are there?" ”

"There must still be."

Don't look at this makeup box compared to the pair of makeup boxes in the dowry given to her by Mrs. Gao, there is no gem inlay, and there is no gold and jade.

But what kind of person is Mrs. Qian, who dared to invest in her master since she was a little maid, and it was definitely not because she couldn't find the box because she took the trouble to bring the makeup box.

"Look, splints."

Gu Wenxuan couldn't help frowning when he saw Zhou Banxia take out the brocade box inside the cabinet door, as well as the yarn and silk forging that he didn't know what kind of material it was, and then found a letter next to the splint of the small drawer.

"Don't worry, it's not a big deal.

It is very important, if you don't mention Mrs. Qian, it is impossible for Aunt Mei to send it directly here. ”

When I said this, I seemed to have guessed what was written in it.

Gu Wenxuan was not suspicious, but was 100% sure that when he was in Zhending Mansion, his daughter-in-law must have spoken to Mrs. Qian in a correspondence.

"Look, what is this?"

Opening the letter envelope, Zhou Banxia took out the paper inside, and when he opened it, he saw another piece of paper folded in the middle.

When I opened it, it was Mrs. Qian's hairpin letter.

Roughly wrote the background of the owner of the production of cardboard boxes in Quanzhou Prefecture, which had not been investigated before.

Gu Wenxuan leaned over his head and looked at it, speechless, "That's it?" I thought something was going on, so I couldn't let outsiders know. ”

"Is this so informed?"

"You forgot the sumptuous dowry that your master and her mother left behind, but that is the eldest daughter of the Zhou family who was once in charge of the internal affairs office.

Mr. was young back then, and now, can he not investigate whether his great-grandfather had an enemy in the Internal Affairs Office?

If you think about it again, even if there is no enemy in the Ministry of Internal Affairs, can Mr. not know who is behind the owner of the cartons that produces candy cubes?

Is it too far? I'm not telling you about it.

Look, you're in a hurry, I haven't had time to say it, but I've contacted Mrs. Qian again. ”

Zhou Banxia couldn't cry or laugh, "It's a big wrong!"

I mentioned this matter to Mrs. Qian the previous time, and He Lai contacted her again.

No, you said you hadn't had time to say it yet?

You've found out, why are you hiding from me? Okay, good car job, dare to hide a lot of things from me! Tell me, what are you hiding from me! ”

Look, I still want the wicked to sue first!

Gu Wenxuan glanced at her, "Don't have time, I haven't had time yet, but I heard from Zhang Qingshan that it was a royal deal." ”

"Cardboard boxes?"

"Sugar cubes."

"It's pretty much the same, no wonder it's an exclusive sale, and no one is finding fault with the price-"

Halfway through the words, Zhou Banxia's hand froze, "No, Xuanzi, that kind of gift box candy cube is not available in the founding of the country, and it has only been a few decades since it appeared, and that senior still left a recipe or something?"

As far as I know, the predecessor introduced sugar beet when the beetroot was making sugar, and when the founding of the country did not hear that he hid the recipe, it was exclusive to the royal family.

Didn't my uncle say that it was the same as salt at first, and then it was similar to the war materials, and then the founding of the country was handed over to the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and then the sugar recipe was in the hands of the magnates?

From this point of view, it's not like the predecessor left the recipe, and after hundreds of years, the royal family exclusively did this sugar cube business, right? ”

"Foreign."

"Fang Zi is from overseas?"

"Yes, according to Zhang Qingshan, the surname of this owner is Chen, the ear is Chen, and the ancestor is the King of Liang, that is, the descendants of Taizu's mother's family, there is a caravan to find Fangzi......"
