Chapter 183 The Treasure House
Just thinking about it makes Ji Keran feel distracted and full of regret: "Why didn't I see Taifu Xiao? Could it be that he drove his wife to Zhuangzi alone? If so, madam can come to Zhuangzi to catch up with my sister. You can also chat with your wife, and there are hundreds of flowers blooming in the courtyard, enjoying the flowers and making tea, which is a special taste."

If so, that would be great.

"Thanks to Mr. Ji's hospitality, I will take care of my wife's heart." The horse under Xiao Xilin hadn't gone out for a long time, and when he ran away, he left the carriage behind, and let Xiao Yi and Xiao Er protect Gu Yun Xiao, he came up to Zhuangzi first.

But a quarter of an hour later, Gu Yunxiao was stumbled by Ji Keran and his party unexpectedly.

When Xiao Xilin came out, what he saw was Gu Yunxiao's displeasure and Ji Keran's entanglement.

Ji Keran cupped his hands and said with a smile: "It turns out that Taifu Xiao is also there, but seeing his wife alone, he thought of inviting her to the Zhuangzi as a guest. There are quite a lot of female relatives in the house, so it's not boring."

"Thank you Mr. Ji for your kindness. You are newlyweds, so you won't disturb Mrs. Ji." Xiao Xilin didn't even look at Gu Yunyan who had been staring at her, turned to Gu Yunxiao, took her little hand and went straight into Zhuangzi.

As soon as the two entered, the servant girl who followed quickly walked away, and the door was quickly closed in front of Ji Keran and the others, which was simply very rude.

Ji Keran's smile faded, and his face darkened: "Let's go, since Master Xiao has no way of hospitality, we don't have to force ourselves to come forward."

Gu Yunyan watched the door slowly close with regret in her eyes.

Ying Cailin glanced at her, raised her eyebrows and said, "Sister, why are you still looking around, Mr. Taifu has already gone away."

Ji Keran glanced at her gloomyly, and Gu Yunyan immediately lowered her head and followed quickly.

Thinking of the black brocade robe that Xiao Xilin wore just now, but a few green bamboos were embroidered on the front of the skirt, it was clean, without any gorgeous and complicated patterns, but it set off his appearance and temperament like an exile.

Just looking at it makes people fascinated, but it's a pity that his focused eyes fell on Gu Yunxiao, and he didn't even look at other people. Gu Yunyan couldn't help biting her lower lip, feeling a pain in her heart.

In the end, YouQi held Gu Yunxiao's hand without hesitation and walked in together. The gentleness and intimacy was what Gu Yunyan had been looking forward to, but it's a pity that none of this belonged to her, but it was cheaper for Gu Yunxiao!

She was in a trance when she saw Ji Jiaqian coming up with her maid, and said with a smile, "Ran Lang is finally here? The room has been tidied up and the hot water is ready, and the cook is cooking some side dishes you like. Hurry up." Take a bath to wash off the dust, and then eat some food and have a good rest?"

"Sister-in-law is here. Let Lin'er take care of this trivial matter. How can I work for sister-in-law?" Ji Keran smiled, took a step behind, and went to the wing with Ji Jiaqian.

They talked as if no one was around, and Ji Jiaqian didn't even look at Ying Cailin and Gu Yunyan.

Gu Yunyan was just a concubine, so it was right for Ji Jiaqian to ignore her so as not to lose her status.But Ying Cailin is Ji Keran's legitimate wife, and Ji Jiaqian is a bit contemptuous of her.

Ying Cailin was upset, so she saw Ji Keran beckoning her to her side: "Sister-in-law is used to working hard, so I will take care of the Zhuangzi's affairs, and it's good for Lin'er to help out occasionally. After sitting in the carriage for so long, The two of you are also tired, so go to the wing room to rest. If you have anything to do, just tell the maids and mother-in-law outside the door, and don't wander around in the village."

Ji Jiaqian answered, "That's right, Zhuangzi only cleaned up half of it, and everything was messy everywhere, so I don't have to make you two delicate girls fall and knock, Ran Lang must feel distressed."

Hearing this, Ying Cailin was full of astonishment, did Ji Keran want to ground her and Gu Yunyan?
Gu Yunyan looked at her hesitantly, both of them looked shocked.Could it be that Ji Keran brought them here just to cover up the affair between him and Ji Jiaqian?
It was said that Ji Keran brought his wife and concubine to Zhuangzi, and Ji Jiaqian happened to be there too, so they played together.

This is obviously not the case now, and Ying Cailin couldn't help being anxious.

Compared to her, Gu Yunyan was even more anxious.She kept Ji Keran in the yard that day, but she couldn't get close, and now she is still perfect, how could she conceive Ji Keran's child early so that she can gain a foothold in the mansion?

As a concubine, she can only sit on an equal footing with Ying Cailin if she has a strong belly.

But a child cannot be born by one person, so how can Gu Yunyan not be anxious?

An old woman of Ji Jiaqian's age is like a tiger like a wolf, she squeezed Ji Keran dry on the couch, and with Ying Cailin as her regular wife, what else can she gain?

Gu Yunyan stepped forward and forced a smile: "Husband, sister-in-law can't be without helpers. My sister and I live in the wing room to enjoy the blessings. I feel really sorry for asking my sister-in-law to work alone. It's better to let me Serving by my sister's side can always be of some use."

"No need, if you are idle, you can sit some female celebrities in the wing room, and self-cultivation is also good." Ji Keran flatly refused, too lazy to talk to Gu Yunyan, and directly called two servants and four women, and invited them People went to the wing.

Ying Cailin found that the two's wing room was in the most remote part of Zhuangzi, especially far from the gate, even the corner gate was not close, and there were eight women and four guards watching around the yard, it was no different from being in prison.

Gu Yunyan's wing room was next to Ying Cailin's. As soon as the latter sat down, she heard a rattling sound from the side.

Apparently, Gu Yunyan was so angry that she reached out and smashed half of the porcelain in the room.

It's really hard to hold back, but that's why it's easy to handle, it's a stupid one.

Ying Cailin lowered her head and pondered for a moment, realizing that it was impossible for Ji Keran to compromise.He only hoped that after only a few days, he would let her out.

Ji Keran couldn't hang out with Ji Jiaqian at the hot spring village all the time. The two of them had been hiding it for so many years, so they must be careful not to raise suspicions.

It's just that she wasn't sure again, Ji Keran rushed to the hot spring village, and didn't hide his closeness with Ji Jiaqian. This was indirectly telling herself and Gu Yunyan that Ji Jiaqian was far above the two of them. They obediently listen to Ji Jiaqian?
I really don't know what it means, Ying Cailin ordered in a low voice: "I brought a lot of gold and silver, you go out to buy some food, melons, fruits and snacks that are not available in the village every day, of course they have worked hard, and the errands are naturally expensive It has to be higher, too."

Zhuangzi is not close to the city, and it is not easy to run errands here and there. Naturally, the salary should be higher.

Chunlan understood that Ying Cailin was planning to use this to bribe the guard's mother-in-law, she nodded slightly to express her understanding.

"Mrs. Xiao suddenly changed her appearance. Miss, don't you think it's strange?"

Ying Cailin shook her head: "There are all kinds of wonders in the world, but the appearance has changed a little, what's so strange about it? She doesn't have three heads and six arms, but she has become more beautiful, but she is also Mrs. Xiao, and has nothing to do with me. Especially Mrs. Xiao has become more beautiful, don't you?" Seeing that the face of the second girl of the Gu family is the same as that of Dyefang, red and green at times, I'm afraid I can't wait to see it."

Gu Yunyan always thought that she was outstanding in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and her appearance was all over the country. She was favored at home, so she didn't take this ordinary-looking younger sister with little talent in her eyes at all.

Now not only has her sweetheart been robbed, but her appearance has gradually improved, how can she not be jealous?
Chunlan covered her mouth and smiled: "Indeed, the second girl's complexion is not very good."

She doesn't like Gu Yunyan, she acts like a noble girl, but she was born in a small Gu family, what's there to be ashamed of?
But being held up by the scholar and coaxed with a few good words, he will be elated and can't find his way.Who doesn't know that her reputation has been ruined, and she has dealt with a few men. Now that she is plotting against Ji Keran, being able to marry into the Hou's mansion is simply a blessing for eight lifetimes.

But he didn't know how to cherish it, and he didn't pay attention to Ying Cailin, the mistress. He really deserved to die.

"Look, I don't need to take action, and the second girl won't sit here waiting to die." With Gu Yunyan here, Ying Cailin was not so anxious.She must not be able to sit still, and went out to inquire secretly, but it would have helped herself a lot, saving time without talking, and being able to test a thing or two.

Ji Keran didn't know that his wife and concubines were thinking about herself.With a sullen face, he sat at the table and pushed away the tea offered by Ji Jiaqian: "Don't be busy with these, still haven't found the entrance?"

Ji Jiaqian shook her head and sighed: "I searched the whole village, even the garden in the backyard was dug three feet, but I found nothing. I also knocked on the wall, to be honest, there was no trap on the ground. Are you sure Lang is here?"

Hearing this, Ji Keran frowned and said, "Didn't you tell me that the old lady mentioned it?"

"That's true, but did the old lady remember the wrong place?" Ji Jiaqian became more and more puzzled. This Zhuangzi was bought by Mrs. Hou decades ago.

It is written on the title deed that the family surnamed Zhang is also an official. Unfortunately, he made some mistakes and had no money to take care of it. The whole family was released. I was afraid that I would never be able to return to Beijing, so I simply sold all the houses, shops and fields here. It's better to change some money and go south.

Over the years in Beijing, there have been quite a few people with the surname Zhang, and even more people who have been released outside. It is completely at a loss to check.

Ji Jiaqian didn't know if there was really someone with the surname Zhang, and there was nowhere to find out where Zhuangzi bought it. Mrs. Hou might know something, but she didn't dare to ask.

"The old lady won't remember the wrong place, I'm afraid the entrance is more secret than we imagined." Thinking of Xiao Xilin next door, Ji Keran couldn't help frowning.If there is too much movement, it is necessary to alarm him.

After letting this Taifu know, the ownership of the treasure house can't be controlled by himself: "Be careful, the Taifu has also come to Zhuangzi next door."

When Ji Jiaqian heard this, she said displeasedly: "You also said that Ran Lang just arrived and didn't come in for a long time. I thought something happened. It turned out that he couldn't move because he saw the beauty?"

Since Xiao Xilin is here, she must bring Gu Yunxiao, the new Mrs. Xiao, with her.

She worked hard on the Zhuangzi to secretly find the entrance to the treasure house, but Ji Keran was lucky, she couldn't bear to come in after staring at other women outside!
