Rudonghai

Chapter 201 New Love
There were fewer and fewer maids to serve on weekdays, from the original four to two, and then they disappeared altogether, replaced by two stout maids guarding the door.

There were only one or two guards waiting outside the yard, and the others were nowhere to be seen.

Forget it, one of the mother-in-law is stammering, the other is deaf, she has to yell loudly when she says anything, and she can't explain clearly when asked, Gu Xuanyi asked twice more, and soon lost her patience, so she stopped talking.

It's just that seeing that today's dinner is only two dishes, which is far worse than before, Gu Xuanyi became unhappy and yelled at the mother-in-law to call his confidant over.

The servant soon came, bowed and said: "I don't know if the young master called the villain, what is your order?"

Gu Xuanyi pointed to the two cold dishes on the table, and said displeasedly: "What is this, does the kitchen use such things to perfuse me?"

The young man repeatedly apologized, and said helplessly: "Madam is not here, and the old lady took away the storehouse. I only have the salaries of the young master and the master. The master has recently started to use ginseng as an primer for dispensing medicine, and the elder and younger leg injuries have to be applied three times a day." Medicine. As time goes by, the mansion will not be able to survive, so we can only cut down on food and clothing, please be patient, wait for the villain to send the old lady back to the mansion, and open the storehouse, then things will improve."

Hearing this, Gu Xuanyi was a little skeptical, and asked again: "How is Dad's condition, why hasn't anyone come to report to me?"

"Young Master is recuperating, and the villain doesn't want to let those talkative talk too much in front of Young Master, so as not to make Young Master worry and worry, which is not good for his recovery."

The young man spoke clearly and logically. Even if Gu Xuanyi had doubts in his heart, he couldn't find anything wrong, so he could only ask: "Where did the old lady go? Why haven't you been invited back for so long? Even if the old lady doesn't want to come back, take the Gu family What is the key to the warehouse?"

After hearing this, the servant hesitated and said: "The villain sent his mother-in-law to the Marquis of An Guo several times, but she was kicked out. In the past two days, I managed to buy off the concierge, and only then did I know that the old lady has not been in the Marquis's mansion for a long time. I went to the temple to listen to the Dharma, and I don’t know when I will come back.”

"Temple?" Gu Xuanyi was dumbfounded, he didn't expect Ji Jiaqian to go to such a place.There are many temples near the middle of the capital, where did she go, I am afraid that a servant of the Hou's mansion will know?

Could it be that she just let her hold the key to Gu's treasury, making them suffer while watching the money in it not being used?

"Be sure to go to the nearby temple and ask, and invite the old lady back."

"Yes, young master." The young man responded, and said: "The master ordered, no matter how much the mansion saves on food and clothing, the second girl's funeral affairs must be done well. The villain invited the abbot of the temple and brought eight My disciple will chant scriptures for the girl when she is buried tomorrow. I heard that the scriptures will be chanted for 49 consecutive days. I'm afraid the young master will have to be wronged in the future."

It's not easy for Gu Xuanyi to refute Master Gu's words. Gu Yunyan's legal affairs should be done well.Now he can only count on the servant to find Ji Jiaqian and get back the key to the warehouse.

Otherwise, if the money is spent, he and Mr. Gu will drink the northwest wind?

You can't go around borrowing money, it's a great embarrassment, Gu Xuanyi won't do anything.

"Alright, you can figure it out. Make sure that the second sister behaves decently, and don't make people laugh."

The little servant respectfully agreed, and only then did he leave the High Heaven Pavilion. A guard from outside came over with a flattering smile, and asked, "Your young master didn't suspect anything, did you? It's the boss who is amazing. Take it, you can eat delicious and spicy..."

"Restrain me, now is not the time to make things happen." The boy narrowed his eyes, and the humble smile on his face just now disappeared completely: "The young master is a little suspicious, you should tell the brothers to keep an eye on you, you can't do it at this time." Something went wrong."

"Yes, I listen to the boss. But the second girl Gu's affairs, do you really want to go on?" The guards felt pain when they saw the white money being thrown down just for a dead person.

"Do it, how can you not do it? The master and the eldest son love the second girl. If they don't do it, they will be suspicious and make a fuss." Although the servant also loves money, but what should be done must be done, at least on the surface Want scenery.

The guard snorted coldly: "It's just an unwanted concubine in the Hou's mansion. The Hou's mansion didn't even send back the corpse. In fact, it's not that they didn't find it, but they didn't want to find it, right? , wouldn't it make the Hou family lose face?"

"The Hou's mansion and the Gu's family quarreled, didn't they take advantage of us?" The little servant smiled, his face full of confidence in victory.

The guard quickly praised: "The boss is still smart, and the snipe and the clam fight, isn't it just us fishermen who benefit? The boss is mighty, and the younger ones will follow you from now on."

"Okay, don't need to say more good things, hurry up and do things for me. Everyone inside and outside the mansion is watching closely, don't let people who don't have good eyes spoil our good deeds. Also, the master can't be killed now, call the doctor Be careful, you don't have to let the young master see the clues." The servant ordered, and the guards agreed repeatedly.

As soon as the guards left, the boy looked back at the quiet High Heaven Pavilion and smiled mockingly.

This room, Gu Xuanyi was kept in the dark, not knowing that the Gu family was about to be emptied by his confidants, but Gu Yunyan, who was thinking about it, was doing well.

She followed Young Master Luo back to the Luo family's old house and was placed in a secluded courtyard.For the small wound on her body, a maid sent her a good golden warehouse medicine. Not only did the wound heal without any trace, but it also made the skin more supple and smooth than before.

Knowing that the Luo family is not short of money, this wound medicine is probably comparable to that in the palace.

Gu Yunyan has a good appearance, and is proficient in all aspects of piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and soon won the heart of Luo Sanshao, and asked him to come to the yard every day.

The servant girl who served was just bought from outside the mansion. Although she was young, her mouth was as sweet as honey. While combing her hair, she praised: "The girl's black hair is so beautiful, and her appearance is even more outstanding. It's rare that Qin Chess, calligraphy and painting are all proficient, no wonder the third young master frequently ran to the yard, so many sisters envy the girl's good fortune. From now on, the girl will become the master, and the servants are still waiting for the girl to help."

Gu Yunyan smiled, she had been praised too many times since she was a child, and her ears were already callused.Now after listening to the little maid's words, besides taking it for granted, there is also a little joy in my heart.

Third Young Master Luo seems to be very interested in him, as long as he works harder, he may be able to completely win over this man's heart.It is impossible for her to go back to the Hou Mansion. Gu Yunyan knew from the little girl that Ji Keran said that she had slipped and fell off the cliff and died without bones.

It gave her a good excuse, and changed her name so that she didn't have to worry about being seen out.

Gu Yunyan looked at the combed hair, with a strong determination in her eyes.She was no longer the spoiled and proud second girl of the Gu family who was held in the palm of the hand for a long time.

After being touched by the minister of Dali Temple, she was no longer a perfect body.Apart from this face, she has piano, chess, calligraphy and painting that she has practiced hard for more than ten years, and she is full of talent, which is used to attract Luo Sanshao's attention.

Although the Luo family is not as powerful as Zhen Guohou and An Guohou, and there is no such high-ranking figure as Xiao Xilin, but Shengzai's family has been passed down for 300 years, they have good friends with the family, and they have a large clan and a wide network of contacts.

Third Young Master Luo is the most beloved youngest son of Master Luo's family. He looks like a dandy student, but he is handsome and suave, and loves romance the most.

He picked up a strange girl's house on the side of the road, and he dared to take it home, obviously he was not very smart.

It's better not to be smart, it's easy to handle.Gu Yunxiao looked at the bronze mirror, and she didn't believe that with her outstanding self, she couldn't take Luo Sanshao down.

After taking him down, wouldn't the Luo family be used by her?
"Girl, the third young master is here."

The little girl's joyful voice sounded, Gu Yunyan showed the most beautiful and shy smile, slowly turned around, and called out in a low voice: "Little girl has seen the third young master."

"You don't need to be too polite," followed behind San Shao Luo was a tall man with a straight face and an unkind temper.

Gu Yunyan lowered her head and didn't dare to look too much, wondering who this strange man was.

"I forgot to introduce, this is my second elder brother. I heard that I brought a girl back home, and she has some attainments in painting and calligraphy, so I came here specially. The second elder brother just got a painting and wanted to write a poem, but he never found a suitable one. Yes, I suggested that he come to meet the girl, maybe he can get a wonderful poem." Luo Sanshao highly praised Gu Yunyan, which made her very happy.

Gu Yunyan pretended to be hesitant, but finally agreed: "Ms. Rong took a look at the painting, only hoping to share the worries of the second young master."

Second Young Master Luo handed the scroll in his hand to the attendant beside him, and slowly opened it on the table, but his eyes never moved away from Gu Yunyan, especially the one who stared at her face almost without blinking.

Gu Yunyan felt uncomfortable, but she was proud of her charm.Look, besides the third young master Luo, even the second young master Luo, who met for the first time, bowed down under her pomegranate skirt.

After all, Third Young Master Luo is just a playboy in the world, how can he compare to Second Young Master Luo who was born as a serious Gongsheng student, and his official career is unpredictable.

She thought about it in her heart, and she even tried her best to exaggerate this landscape picture, and racked her brains to think of a poem.The poems are gorgeous and neat, and with the paintings, it is indeed a higher level.

Luo Sanshao clapped his palms and smiled, praised: "I told my second brother a long time ago, this girl is full of talents, and she can really learn good poems, what does my second brother think?"

"That's right," Second Young Master Luo cherished his handwriting like gold, and glanced at the painting. Every stroke of the petty small characters was beautiful and extraordinary, and even sharp and strong. It really didn't look like the handwriting that a girl should have.

Gu Yunyan's cheeks were flushed, her beautiful eyes were shy, and she looked at Second Young Master Luo timidly: "Thank you Second Young Master for your praise."

"Look, the girl is still shy. Second brother is willing to gamble and admit defeat. Later, I will treat my younger brother to drink the daughter's red wine that has been preserved for 20 years. How about it?" Luo Sanshao smiled, and said: "I will drink with my second brother later. Fan, come back to play a game or two with the girl in a while."

After all, he and Second Young Master Luo left the courtyard. Gu Yunyan felt a little regretful that she couldn't say a few more words to Second Young Master Luo, guessing his thoughts, so as to win over this man's heart.
