Rudonghai

Chapter 161
Ji Keran was okay, except for a few unrefined house maids, there were not many concubines in the mansion, except for Gu Yunyan who was about to be brought in.

Now that Gu Yunyan has been tricked, she will not be her opponent in the future. Ying Cailin has her own way to make Ji Keran hate this girl from the Gu family even more.

Thinking of the news she inquired about, Ying Cailin smiled even more.

Gu Yunyan's methods were simple and brutal, and Ji Keran was plotted, and she hated her so much that she took people into the backyard, so I'm afraid she didn't want to take a second look.

But Ying Cailin never underestimates anyone, no matter how stupid Gu Yunyan is, she has a pretty good appearance.Just keeping it in the backyard, it is pleasing to look at it a few more times.

Who knows if one day Ji Keran will feel that it's a pity to let her go, so he will favor her a little bit and make Gu Yunyan turn over?

Ying Cailin would never let such a thing happen, she simply acted first.

Gu Yunyan was more stupid than she imagined, and easier to deal with.Now even the maids around her are not of the same mind, the girl from the Gu family has entered the Hou's mansion, and she is alone, what kind of trouble can she cause?

Ying Cailin raised her head and saw Chunlan hesitated to speak, she couldn't help frowning: "What's wrong?"

Chunlan hesitated and said: "I don't know if this servant is mistaken. When I went to Fulai Restaurant a few days ago, I accidentally saw a man entering the box. His back was quite similar to Mrs. Ji. The servant quietly stuffed money into Xiaoer , I asked that the guest in the box is Mrs. Gu."

Ji Jiaqian is Ji Keran's sister-in-law, why did the two meet outside and secretly?

Chunlan felt puzzled, but she only felt familiar, but she was not sure, so she hesitated whether to say it or not.

Ying Cailin's face changed slightly, and Chunlan hurriedly persuaded, "Maybe the servants have misread it, that person is wearing a gauze hat, and his appearance is not real..."

"You have been with me for a few years, so you have some insight. Especially when Mrs. Ji came to visit me a few times, you went to the front hall to wait on him. You are not familiar with him, I'm afraid you are not mistaken." She thought Bohou once privately mentioned that Ji Jiaqian may not be the seed of An Guohou, and those who are interested can still see some clues to the scandal that happened back then.

If this is true, then Ji Jiaqian and Ji Keran are not related by blood. A man and a woman met outside in private, or in a private room, which is really fascinating.

Ying Cailin never ignores any little things, and immediately ordered: "You send someone to guard at Fulai Restaurant, and give more money to the waiter. If people come, pay attention to them."

She had a bad premonition in her heart. Could it be that Ji Keran went to the Gu family frequently, and later said that she fell in love with the third girl of the Gu family, but it was actually just a cover, with other purposes?

I hope that I just thought wrong, Ying Cailin finally closed her eyes with chaotic thoughts.

Not only Ying Cailin, but even Xiao Xilin got the news.

These days, Ji Keran and Ji Jiaqian have met too frequently.

Fulai Restaurant has a top-notch reputation and is quite popular among dignitaries and dignitaries in Beijing.

Such a lively place, if you meet, it is indeed deceiving.

It's a pity that Xiao Xilin has always sent people to keep an eye on the two of them, so naturally he won't miss every meeting between them.

He squeezed a red sandalwood card in his hand, raised his eyebrows and said, "Is this from Mr. Ji?"

Xiao Jiawei, who had been following behind Ji Keran and staring at him, nodded and replied: "Young master, that's exactly the case. This subordinate is hiding in the dark. This object was taken out from the golden lock that Mrs. Gu is wearing next to her body."

Hearing this, Xiao Xilin's expression couldn't help but be solemn: "He really knew, and it saved me a lot of trouble."

He smiled coldly, turned the small wooden sign over and over in his palm and looked at it: "It seems that this is the key I've been looking for, but I didn't expect it to be in the golden lock. If it weren't for someone close to me, I'm afraid I would never find it." .”

Xiao Xilin tried to search carefully in the Marquis of Anguo's mansion, every corner was spared, but she still couldn't find it.

After a few years, nothing was found, who knew that Ji Keran would find out about the turn of events?
Xiao Jiawei said strangely: "Young master, this young master of the Ji family may know where the key is used. It stands to reason that it happened decades ago. How did he know this secret before he was born?"

If the emperor hadn't told Xiao Xilin himself, I'm afraid he wouldn't have known about such a past.

After searching secretly for several years, Xiao Xilin had vaguely guessed Ji Jiaqian's background.

"This matter is so important, don't startle the snake for now. You return this wooden sign, and let Mr. Ji take us to decipher it. In addition, use a secret letter to inform the emperor that Mr. Ji must have someone inside." But who is the insider? But he couldn't figure it out.

But with just a few glances, he had completely memorized the pattern of the wooden sign, spread out the rice paper, and quickly drew it with a brush.

Xiao Xilin dried the rice paper and handed it to Xiao Jiawei.Who are the insiders, don't bother to guess, it's better to ask the emperor directly.

If you can tell him, the emperor will definitely tell you frankly.As for what you don't want to tell him, it's better for Xiao Xilin not to ask more.

A companion is like a tiger, he knows when to speak and when to shut up.

Otherwise, these years will not be reused by the emperor's side, and the official position will rise to the sky in one step.

Another Xiao Jiawei's voice came from outside the door: "My lord, Madam Zhen Guohou sent a servant girl here."

Xiao Xilin heard the words and opened the door, and was about to go to the Zhen Guohou Mansion next door, but was led to the backyard by the maid.

He thought of the noises in the backyard these days, Mrs. Zhen Guohou didn't let him go to see it, but even if he couldn't, Xiao Xilin could guess a thing or two.

Sure enough, Xiao Xilin stood in an inconspicuous corner of the backyard and saw a newly opened small door.

Mrs. Zhen Guohou has already opened the small door, waited on the other side, and said with a smile: "Today is Muxiu, what are you still doing in the study? Taking advantage of the strong autumn colors, it is time to walk around."

She pulled out Gu Yunxiao who was behind her, and pushed her forward: "I am an old bone, I just want to lie down and do nothing when it gets cold. You young people just walk around, Qiu Ju in the backyard It's in full bloom."

After all, Mrs. Zhen Guohou handed over the things in her hand again: "This small door is usually locked, and I will keep the key for you. You must keep it well hidden. Otherwise, it will be stolen by others. Are you going to work hard over the wall?"

Xiao Xilin was funny, knowing that Mrs. Zhen Guohou was worried that she would climb over the wall and get hurt if she didn't pay attention, so she simply opened a small door to make it easier for him to enter and exit.

Gu Yunxiao's cheeks were flushed, and she was not allowed to come to the backyard these days. Who would have thought that Madam Zhen Guohou would open a small door here, leading directly to the Xiao Mansion next door?

"It stands to reason that we can't meet each other before we get married, but the rules are set by people, and your aunt is not a pedantic person." After Madam Zhen Guohou said, she waved her hand and took the maid away.

Gu Yunxiao lowered his head, his chin was almost touching his chest, he didn't know what to say for a moment, he just felt embarrassed.

Xiao Xilin had already guessed the actions of Mrs. Zhen Guohou, and broke the silence with a smile: "Since the autumn chrysanthemums are blooming just right, the third girl will come with me to appreciate them?"

Gu Yunxiao nodded, and the two walked slowly towards the garden side by side. She suddenly thought of the land deed sent by Mrs. Zhen Guohou this morning, and hesitated: "Master Taifu sent me a lot of bank notes last time. Originally I plan to buy some land so that the tenants of the Gu family can have a place to go. Now the land deeds sent by Mrs. Zhen Guohou are enough, how about returning those banknotes to your lord?"

"No, it's fine for the girl to keep it. There are always some things you want to buy at home, clothes and jewelry, even shops in the downtown area, fields you like, and you can spend them as you like. If there is not enough, just ask, and I will ask someone to give it to you." Come here." Xiao Xilin didn't think it was inappropriate to give some flowers to his wife who hadn't married yet.

No matter what Gu Yunxiao likes, unless Xiao Xilin can't get it, he is willing to give the rest.

Gu Yunxiao was taken aback, he didn't expect Xiao Xilin to send so many banknotes, and they were just for himself to spend freely, and he was flattered immediately: "Your Excellency, you don't need to be like this, I can use it in the Zhenguo Houfu, Madam is very considerate For me, I have made better clothes and jewelry, and I can’t wear them all out, and I don’t want anything else, so I don’t know where to hide it, and I always think about it.”

Afterwards, she felt a little embarrassed.

As if he was a country bumpkin, but there were only a few bank notes, so he had to hide them nervously, for fear of losing them.

Instead of worrying about it, it's better to send it back to Xiao Xilin.

"It doesn't matter if you lose it, just give it back. You don't have to think too much about it, it's my responsibility to give it to Madam Xiao to use as she pleases." Xiao Xilin smiled slightly, and slightly touched the jade hairpin on her bun with her fingertips: " This hairpin must have been chosen by my aunt, it really suits a girl."

The whole body is snow-white, and the carving is simple, but it is generous and decent, which makes her small face very cute.

Gu Yunxiao couldn't help but redden at the base of his ears, this Grand Tutor said nothing if he didn't speak, and he was no worse than Ji Keran, a seasoned lover when it came to talking about love.

She glanced at Xiao Xilin, and couldn't help asking in a low voice: "Master Tai Tuo is very knowledgeable, and Fenghua Xueyue seems to be very proficient."

Xiao Xilin heard what Gu Yunxiao meant, and couldn't help laughing. She touched her hot cheek with her fingertips and said, "I'm still a little clumsy, but I didn't expect to make the girl so happy."

It was the first time he approached the girl's house, so he didn't know what to say or what to do, so he just did it rashly.

Whatever he wanted to do for Gu Yunxiao, he did it directly.If you want to say something to her, just say it directly, it can be said to be from the bottom of your heart.

Gu Yunxiao wondered, this man is really a natural lover, probably no girl can resist his sincere words of love.

"The land my aunt bought is not too much. The girl can invite Ren Yazi, or ask the lady in charge to come forward and buy some more land. Just to take in the tenants of Gu's mansion, it is necessary to attract people's tongues and attract dissatisfaction. Necessary trouble." Xiao Xilin reminded softly, lest she suffer.
