Chapter 66 Riding the Tiger
“Farewell so soon? They are leaving?”
“The mansion that the fourth master has purchased has already been made ready, auntie will move out tomorrow.”
Zhao Su let out a cry. Then said, “Ning Jade came from Tongzhou to move?”
“There’s always something to move, cousin young master has lived here for so many years and has left a lot of books and stuff. By the way,” here Xiaolan said with great interest, “the young master asked about the girl as soon as he arrived, and when we said that the girl had gone to the palace to work as an errand boy, he froze for a while before leaving.”
Zhao Su intuited that it wasn’t simple. The original owner and Ning jade contact is not much, although he also along with Aunt Ning in the marquis residence for more than ten years, but Ning jade like to play with her brother Zhao Ying, see Zhao Su never just to maintain the surface of the polite, and will not take the initiative to approach. Now he will actually come to take the initiative to find her? It’s not like he’s going to make trouble for Auntie Ning to find her, is it?
Yes, two days ago, Auntie Ning did not offer to let her marry Ning jade to come? They’re not going to carry out this disgusting plot, are they?
Zhao Su’s nerves rose, “Where is he now?”
“He’s having tea and talking with several masters in the house.” Xiaolan finished and said, “The girl has not said how to come back late?”
She went to the palace to work as a guard and couldn’t bring anyone to follow her, letting her go out alone could be really worrying.
Zhao Su oh’ed, “I ran into Yu Qingping when I left the palace and was delayed.”
The maids immediately tensed up, “She didn’t do anything to the girl, did she?”
“That’s not true. Just said a few words.”
It wasn’t certain if she stayed any longer. Yu Qingping had all but pointed at her nose and let loose with harsh words!
However, her reaction was also a bit beyond Zhao Su’s expectations, she had thought that when she came to ask for punishment, she would definitely make a big fuss, after all, she had dared to make underhanded moves in Ci Ning Palace! I didn’t think she actually didn’t do it, because it’s not the imperial guards? But see before she left that look, but also seems to be their own words to poke the key points as if ……
Just, as long as she no longer out of other moths, but also regardless of her.
He only need to be good, don’t fall into a let Yu Qingping prophecy of the end, stayed for a few days let the emperor to kick out, and then let her see the joke for nothing!
“Slave girl today inquired about a mouth, I heard that this Yu girl is very strong, in the family is also alone, since she took the first prize in the flower moon meeting, the eyes also do not look at their own siblings. Slave girls have also heard that Marquis Jingnan has high expectations of her, often praising her for her intelligence, and after this incident, the girl still has to be wary of her.”
This couldn’t help but make people wary. People who were muffled were most likely to hold bad water, she had to save for a rainy day.
“Turning back, I’ll ask father to go to the Yu family to look for Marquis Jingnan and make this clear.”
Marquis Jingnan a person who ran to this position with his ability, it’s not so bad that he doesn’t even have that much measure, right? He also wouldn’t be so insistent on taking the bull by the horns without even giving face to Marquis Qingyun, would he? Then as long as Marquis Jingnan’s side made it clear, Yu Qingping would have to be more or less restrained, right?
“By the way,” she suddenly remembered, “how is the matter of Fang Ditch? Has Little Flower returned?”
“Guard Hua went out early this morning, no new news has come from there yet, we won’t know until he returns.”
“Is Sister Su back?”
Just as he was saying this, Marquis Qing Yun’s voice came from outside. Zhao Su welcomed her out and saw that Marquis Qing Yun also walked in dressed for a night out, so she asked, “Father also just came back from outside?”
“Just went out to do some errands.” Marquis Qingyun casually responded, and then said, “How are you today? Are you still accustomed to staying here?”
“There’s nothing I can do if I’m not used to it, I can only adapt slowly.”
Zhao Su said, aiming at the corner of his coat stained with a bit of debris, picked up a smell: “How such a big smell of medicinal herbs?”
Marquis Qingyun looked down: “It must be just dipped in the storehouse.” After saying this, he dusted off his robe.
What kind of storehouse would have medicinal herbs? Zhao Su immediately thought of the Imperial Medicine Division that matter. Just as he also had to tell him about Yu Qingping’s matter, he reached out and took Qingyun Hou into the house: “Father has been particularly busy recently, right? Come in and rest for a while, – Xiao Ju quickly go and bring over the sour plum soup I boiled this morning!”
“Okay!”
Xiao Ju nimbly brought over a large porcelain pot with water beads condensing on the outer wall, and poured it into the cup held in Zhao Su’s hand.
“Marquis, you quickly taste, this sour plum soup is the girl personally boiled. The dinner party is about to start, Marquis first appetize your stomach.”
Sour plum soup was not a rare thing, but because it was boiled by Zhao Su, Marquis Qingyun served it. Before he could drink it, he asked her, “That girl from the Yu family didn’t trouble you, did she?”
Zhao Su still wanted to inquire about the Imperial Medicine Division, but he didn’t expect him to bring it up first, so he had to make his meaning clear.
Marquis Qing Yun heard, a mouthful of sour plum soup, got up and said: “The old Yu family this daughter is also too high and mighty, just as I still have some things to do, to wait for me to go and find him!”
Zhao Su busily said, “It’s not too late to go tomorrow, the going-away banquet for my aunt is about to start, and I heard that Cousin Ning is also coming, so father will eat before he leaves!”
Running to someone’s home at this time, isn’t it obvious that you’re letting someone treat you to dinner?
“You guys can just accompany, there’s no need for me to be there!”
And he moved that fast, so that Zhao Su couldn’t help but suspect that he wasn’t busy looking for Marquis Qing Yun for her, but because he didn’t want to stay home for dinner ……
……
Marquis Qing Yun really didn’t want to participate in this whatever banquet. Of course people are leaving, some words do not need to say more, he also does not object to the long house to him to do this face love but they do theirs, he does not participate.
After the door, look at the sky, now twilight, street lights, this moment to go to the Marquis of Jingnan House is really too late, not much, there is no need to rush in the people closed this mouth over. Then sent long followers to go to the university scholar Zhang Yu’s residence to knock on a door, ready to rub a dinner on his home.
Zhang Yu is still a bachelor, did not marry, Qingyun Hou himself has no daughter-in-law, often in their family contacts.
Driving a horse out of the street, but on the face of a person in a hurry, looking at the figure of some familiar, and then look is actually Chen Han, will be strangling the horse and said: “Mrs. Chen this is where to go?”
Chen Han recognized the person and came over quickly, “I have something to do to find the Marquis!”
Marquis Qingyun rolled over and dismounted, “What is it?”
“I’ve just received news from my brothers in the medicine merchants that the Imperial Medicine Department seems to have noticed the Emperor’s actions and is now preparing to bring in courtiers to confuse the public! I wanted to report to the Emperor, but it was dark and I couldn’t get into the palace, so I rushed to find Marquis!”
“Who are they trying to rope in?”
“This is still unclear, however, looking at the appearance it should be someone related to the Ministry of Household. This is because it is rumored that in the past two days, OCT has been in contact with Minister He Sheng of the Ministry of Revenue.”
“He Sheng has long been their man.”
Marquis Qingyun finished his thought and then said, “I’ll go look for Fang Qingxue.”
