September 28th is the birthday of Emperor Qiantai, and the whole country is full of joy. Every home of the common people is decorated with lanterns and colorful lights, and the inner courtyard of the palace is brightly lit. The dignitaries, royal relatives, and relatives bring great gifts to wish the long live emperor a long life and a long life.
However, because the old lady of the Zhongyong Hou Mansion passed away suddenly in May, and everyone in the family was in the mourning period, they only prepared congratulatory gifts and did not go to the palace to congratulate her.
After nightfall, Gu Jingzhi and Caiwei put on night clothes, quietly left Tingxuexuan, and walked left and right to the eldest lady's yard.
As expected, due to the Wanshou Festival, the government rewarded the servants with plain rice noodles. Since the old lady's death, the mansion has released servants twice. Those who were loyal and conscientious have all been released from good jobs under Gu Jingzhi's suggestion, leaving behind all those who are cheating and cheating.
Although the vegetarian noodles served in the house did not have meaty dishes, they tasted very delicious. The women who guarded the warehouse put it all together. The eldest lady has always been tolerant of going to bed early at night. Although the eldest young master is powerful, he is a fool. They didn't follow the rules and ate two kilograms of soy beef in three or five days. No one would come to the warehouse after nightfall, so they took out two jars of wine, pushed the glasses to change the glasses, and said one after another: "Old sisters, we haven't been here for half a year." I’m so greedy for drinking. We won’t go home until we get drunk today.”
As a result, the drug Gu Jingzhi prepared was useless. When they arrived at the warehouse, the women were already drunk and sleeping next to the table, snoring loudly.
After Caiwei took away two-thirds of the things in the warehouse as usual without being asked by her master, Gu Jingzhi hugged her and ran away quickly, fearing that his eldest brother Jing Chao would accidentally find her trace.
When passing by Ruyi Courtyard, Gu Jingzhi slowed down and whispered in Caiwei's ear: "Don't say anything, let's go to Song Wanru's place to have a look." After that, he jumped into Ruyi Courtyard.
Gu Jingshang often went to Ruyi Courtyard to pay greetings, but it was so long ago that he vaguely remembered that Song Wanru lived in the second room of the main house. He was highly skilled in martial arts and light on his feet, walking like a cat in the dark night, making almost no sound.
The two people slowly approached the window, and suddenly a dart flew out of the house, penetrated the window, and hit the two people.
Gu Jingzhi's reaction was extremely fast. He floated sideways away from the window. The dart hit the big tree in the yard next to the two of them, and then several more darts were shot out from the house.
He moved a few times, flew up the wall, jumped out of the courtyard, quickened his pace and quickly moved away from Ruyi Courtyard.
Along the way, Caiwei held her breath and did not dare to make a sound. After the two of them arrived at Tingxuexuan safely, they let out a long breath.
Gu Jingzhi asked her: "In a situation like that, why didn't you scream in fear?"
Caiwei asked him, "Zhongyong Hou Mansion is your family, and you are the future head of the family. What will happen even if your aunt discovers it? Besides, her father is about to rebel and may not live for a few days. She is the daughter of a rebel. What am I afraid of her for?" He rolled his eyes as he spoke. She wouldn't admit it even if I beat her to death. In fact, she was so frightened that she couldn't scream.
Gu Jingzhi did not expect that there would be a martial arts master hidden in Ruyi Courtyard. In his last life, he was deceived by Song Wanru, but he still underestimated her. It seems that his aunt is not simple!
"Caiwei, go to sleep first! I'll go find Gu Ye and then go to Ruyiyuan to see who this martial arts master is." After saying that, he walked out of the room and disappeared into the night.
Caiwei followed Gu Jingzhi to the door and watched him leave. Suddenly she saw the direction of the palace, and the fire lit up the sky. She could faintly hear the shouts of killing, and thought: "Could it be that Prince Xian is getting up tonight?" Conspiracy to rebel?"
After being frightened in Ruyi Courtyard and seeing the fire in the direction of the palace, Caiwei lost sleep even more. She sat on the bedside and waited for more than an hour before Gu Jingzhi returned to Tingxue Xuan with dew all over her body.
Caiwei helped him take off his clothes and put on dry pajamas. "I saw a fire in the palace. Is Prince Xian really planning to rebel tonight?"
Gu Jingzhi lay down on the bed, nodded and said to her: "You should have a good sleep. Soon we will not have a good night's sleep."
Caiwei shook her head, "How can I sleep! Let's chat!" She leaned her head on Gu Jingzhi, "What did you and Gu Ye just discover when they went to Ruyi Courtyard? Does Song Wanru know kung fu?"
"It's not her, it's her nanny Dong." Gu Jingzhi also didn't expect that the slightly bent old woman actually possessed martial arts. In that case, when her grandmother died, she was the only one around her. Her grandmother's death might be Her hand.
Neither of them could sleep, lying on the bed and cuddling together until the eastern sky turned fish belly white, and they heard the servants in Xuexuan starting to get up to wash up and do their errands.
In fact, there are only a few women left in Ting Xuexuan who do menial work, and only one golden bell is left among the maids, plus Mother Li is waiting on them.
Mother Li was one of the first people to be granted good status, and her son's family, like most of the servants, had moved to the north. However, she didn't want Jin Ling to be alone in the courtyard, so she insisted on staying and serving Gu Jingzhi.
As for Jin Ling, she poisoned Gu Jingzhi in the last life. In the twenty-fifth year of Qiantai, in this life, except for often giving him a few winks and making disgusting noises, she had no other out-of-the-ordinary behavior. With bad intentions, he deliberately did not give her a deed, because the servants who ransacked the house would be sold again, and they were not allowed to redeem themselves, and they would be slaves for life.
Caiwei rubbed her eyes, got up and put on the simplest clothes. Seeing Gu Jingzhi still lying on the bed, she asked him, "Second Master, don't you get up and change? The official is coming soon!"
Gu Jingzhi looked disgusted, sighed, got up, and said to Caiwei, "It doesn't matter if you come. In the last life, the officials surrounded the Marquis's mansion for three days and were not allowed to enter or leave. On the fourth day, they ransacked the house and sent him into exile."
He opened the curtain and went out, leaving behind a message, "You can have breakfast by yourself! I will go have breakfast with my grandfather and comfort him."
Gu Jingzhi was very calm, but Cai Wei felt very uneasy. The more she stayed alone, the more panicked she became, and she wanted to find someone to talk to. But there were only Jin Ling and Li's mother left in the yard. She and Jin Ling disliked each other, and Li's mother was an old lady and had a lot of work, so she had no time to chat with her.
Caiwei suddenly regretted sending Guizhi and Liuer away, otherwise the three of them would have gotten along just fine.
At that time, because the eldest sister was worried about Miss Liu from Songjiang Prefecture getting married and lacking a maid to serve her, she asked her to inspect Guizhi and Liu'er for a month and then sent them to Songjiang to serve Miss Liu. This was a reward for her willingness to let eldest daughter. Sister's favor to redeem herself.
When I was stuck in the emotions of boredom and fear, which could not be relieved, the old woman guarding the door came to report: "Miss Caiwei, Miss Cai Lian sent a woman to invite the girl to play in the big room."
When the two were picking lotuses on Zhuangzi, they would go to the martial arts training ground during the day, but they would often see each other at night. After returning to Zhongyong Hou Mansion, one was in the fourth room and the other was in the main room, and they were rarely together.
When Cai Lian asked her to go, Cai Wei agreed without hesitation, and after packing everything, she was about to set off.
There is no one who comes empty-handed when visiting a house. Caiwei, an old aunt in her thirties, still knows how to deal with the world. She took out six kilograms of soy sauce beef and six pieces of meat from the space. These two are the best of the eldest young master Gu Jingchao and Cai Lian. Love to eat.
Thinking about the possibility of meeting the eldest lady, she is an older person with bad teeth. There are two bags of oil tea noodles fried by herself in the space. The gifts must be in pairs. When she taught her father, Han Dalang, how to make roast duck, she couldn't accept it. There was less roast duck in the space, so he took out two of them and made four gifts.
