The golden hairpin disappeared, and Furong didn't dare to ask: "Miss, which hairpin are you wearing?"
Xining looked at the jewelry box and found five or six hairpins of various materials. Although the Gu family does not have a high official position, it has a rich family fortune, and each hairpin in it is worth at least one or two months to a commoner's household. And in her package, there were five sets of heads and faces inlaid with various gemstones.
After thinking for a while: "Open my package and take out the ruby head and face."
Fleur was stunned, but still did as she was told.
Mu Xiang came to the eldest lady's place again. Although Mu Xiang was already in her twenties, she was stunned when she saw Fu Rong putting on the ruby head and noodle, which was worth thousands of gold, and serving Xi Ning to put it on in turn.
Xining looked at the woody fragrance in the flower-prismed bronze mirror: "Did mother ask you to come here?"
Mu Xiang bowed slightly and lowered her head: "Exactly."
Xining sighed slightly: "The store should prepare breakfast at this time. Buy all the steamed buns and snacks. Use some if you have time to eat. If you don't have time, see if they can be used on the road."
After Mu Xiang responded, she went out. I will definitely tell the eldest lady everything I see here. If the eldest lady knows, the old lady will also know.
After Fu Rong finished serving her, she couldn't help but say, "Miss, she's so pretty." After saying that, she choked up and turned her head to wipe her tears secretly.
Looking at myself in the mirror, I really depend on my clothes. My whole body lights up. The ruby pendant hangs by my ears, making my skin look whiter and whiter.
"Go get some porridge and ask the old lady if there are any pickles. If so, ask for some." After Xining ordered, he stood up, walked to the window, opened the window gently, and looked out.
The sky is getting brighter, but there should be no sunshine today, and thick clouds are covering the sky.
She looked down and saw two Jinyi guards standing outside the store door. The two of them were talking to each other, as if they were whispering something softly.
Feeling something strange, they both turned to look out the window almost at the same time.
Xining did not hide, but he seemed guilty if he did, and faced them face to face.
The figure of the body master made them stunned, and a touch of beauty seemed to be reflected in his cold eyes. There was no other reaction. Xining nodded at them half-smilingly, then stepped back and left the window.
Furong came in carrying a plate with a mournful face as if someone had died in her family. A large bowl of rice porridge, two plates of pickles, and a few meat buns were placed on the table one by one.
Xining was already sitting at the table, picked up the chopsticks, and asked leisurely: "Has grandma had breakfast?"
Fu Rong took the small bowl and scooped the porridge into the big bowl, her voice still trembling: "The old lady sent Musk to get it. When I learned that the young lady wanted pickles, I ordered some of them. The eldest lady is in the old lady's room. We will use them together." breakfast."
Since the old lady is a merchant from Yangzhou, there are many kinds of pickles in the Jiangnan area, mainly sweet and crisp. Normally, the old lady's wet nurse would also make sauce, and the caravan from Yangzhou's hometown would bring a lot of it when they came to the capital. The owner of the body usually likes to ask the old lady for food, but now that he has no appetite, it is best to have it with clear porridge.
Xining nodded, picked up the porridge and took two bites: "You can eat it too."
Furong made a sad face: "How can I eat this slave?"
Xi Ning seemed to be sighing: "I don't know what the food in the prison tastes like. If you don't eat it now, you may not be able to eat it in the future."
After hearing this, Furong thought for a while, picked up the meat buns that had just come out of the pot and started to bite them. He ate it vigorously, and before finishing the one with one hand, he picked up another one with the other hand.
"Hurry, hurry!" There were shouts accompanied by footsteps outside.
Fu Rong was eating the steamed buns and went to the window to take a look. She immediately grinned, with the steamed buns in her mouth that had not yet been swallowed, and cried: "Miss, they are government servants, there are many."
It seems they are here to catch them.
Xining continued to eat: "Why don't you eat quickly?"
"Yeah, yeah!" Furong ate even faster, making her cheeks bulge.
Chaotic footsteps went up the stairs, and then a door was kicked open. Following the kick, a fierce voice sounded over and over again: "Come out, come out all of us!"
When the door to the eldest daughter of the Gu family was pushed open, two government servants with knives rushed in and pointed their knives at the two girls who were dining.
Xu Mian stood outside the door and did not see that many of the criminal's family members were panicking in the room. Except for the aunt who cried bitterly with her children in her arms and screamed when she kicked the door open, the other principals were having breakfast.
He unknowingly moved to the door of the eldest lady Gu Wanxin. When the door was kicked open, the Yamen rushed in.
I saw Gu Wanxin, who was radiant and dressed as if she was about to enter the palace, sitting in front of the Eight Immortals table, holding a small bowl with pickles and eating slowly. The maid standing behind her was holding meat buns in both hands. Although her face turned pale with fear and her legs were shaking, she kept stuffing them into her mouth and chewing them.
Gu Wanxin swallowed the rice porridge in her mouth and asked leisurely: "Master Xu, do you want to have breakfast at my daughter's place again?"
Unexpectedly, Gu Tingrui's submissive role in the court was like a false promise, but the Gu family's family members were actually a little brave.
It's a bit interesting, Xu Mian's lips curled up inadvertently: "I have already used this seat."
"Oh~" Xining picked up another chopstick with pickles, finished the last mouthful of porridge, put down the bowl and chopsticks, stood up, and walked over.
As expected, the eldest daughter of the Gu family had a very strict upbringing. When she walked, she would not move her skirt, and her two ruby earrings as big as thumbs would not move at all. She has a graceful and steady temperament, which is nothing more than the empress in the palace. It was as if the shining official sword had become a decoration, and she didn't even look at it.
When he walked to the door and stopped, he felt that his maid was not following him, so he said leisurely: "Fu Rong, take all your things with you! Put on the remaining steamed buns on the table as well."
"Yes, Miss!" Furong immediately put the package on her back and went to pick up the steamed bun with both hands. She found that she couldn't take it off even if she held it in her mouth, so she simply threw the steamed bun in again and picked up the bowl containing the steamed bun.
This made everyone present dumbfounded.
Xu Mian thought for a while and finally said it: "Regardless of whether Gu Shilang was involved or not, the Gu family's flight early in the morning still needs to be reported back to the capital. After the investigation is completed, the emperor will make a conclusion."
His tone was loose, and whether he was coaxing or not, he was obviously trying to comfort him.
So Xining saluted: "Thank you, Mr. Xu."
Xu Mian looked at the ruby earrings hanging from Miss Gu's beautiful earlobes. The earrings reached to her chin, making the fair skin of her face and neck extremely white and tender.
After Xining saluted, he stood up straight and said to the government servant next to him, neither humble nor overbearing, as usual: "I'd like to have you lead the way, sir."
Seeing that the Jinyiwei commanders and magistrates were treating each other with courtesy, one of the yamen servants immediately turned the blade of the knife over, with the tip of the knife facing down, and bowed with the knife: "Miss, please!"
Xining walked out of the room, and at this time the old lady and the eldest lady had already left the guest room with the support of Musk and Muxiang respectively.
Both of them were well dressed, the old lady was wearing a luxurious emerald hair and face; the eldest lady was wearing a red gold hair and face, as if they were not going to be escorted back to the capital to be imprisoned, but to be grandly entered into the palace.
When Furong saw it, she quickly stepped forward to help the eldest lady. But what’s the point of holding a bowl of steamed buns in one hand?
Although the 12-year-old eldest son was scared and followed the eldest lady closely, he did not lose his sense of proportion.
And Aunt Zhao’s place is...
