Baoan Garden.
Lin Yunyan sat in front of the dressing table and combed her hair.
Through the mirror, she saw that Wan Yue's eyes were a little blue.
"What's the matter?" Lin Yunyan asked with a smile, "Are you also a thief at night?"
Wan Yue's face turned red and she said angrily: "The princess is joking about my servant, how can I become a thief? I only care about the thief."
Lin Yunyan was very happy to hear this.
"You still look good," Wan Yue said, "You have prepared such a big hole for them, how can you still sleep so soundly?"
What would happen last night? When the princess told Chen Dong's family earlier, Wan Yue was listening by the side.
First, transport the box that the old lady kept out of the house, how to exchange the contents with the Duke, how to collect the real things, where to hide the fake things in the future, and what the Gao Dong family will do after nightfall to send the thief away How will the Yamen Queen complain to Mr. Shan...
Line by line, meticulous.
Chen Dongjia's mind is also very quick. After listening to the princess' explanation, he can immediately understand the intention.
Arrangements were made one after another, and Dong Chen's family went on the move. The princess slept peacefully until dawn, only Wan Yue tossing and turning, always thinking about the situation and not knowing how it was going.
Lin Yunyan did sleep well.
There have been strong winds and waves in the past, and I have developed a good habit of falling asleep.
If she couldn't sleep because of something on her mind, she might have had gray hair.
Besides, she was the one holding the urn last night, and others were the turtles in it, so she felt more at ease.
"You've got the playbook in your hand," Lin Yunyan said with a smile, "Are you still so nervous?"
"That's different," said Wan Yue, "I know what's being sung from beginning to end in The West Chamber, but I'm still concentrating on it when I'm watching the show."
Lin Yunyan asked: "You were so worried about it and didn't go to inquire about it when you got up in the morning?"
Wan Yue chuckled.
She did want to inquire, but she had a responsibility, so how could she run around when she was on duty?
If you ask others to inquire, wouldn't it be like "foreseeing the unknown" and exposing the secret?
"You'll know the result when you go out later," she said.
She kept talking with her mouth and kept her hands. The girl in the mirror had her hair neat and beautiful. Wearing a beaded flower pendant, she looked more delicate than a flower.
Mother Ma delivered the message outside: "Princess, uncle, please go to the study."
Lin Yunyan blinked.
Her father was looking for her early in the morning, so he must have heard some rumors.
Getting up, Lin Yunyan walked to the front yard.
Lin Ju's personal attendant Lin Ju led her to the study.
"Uncle Ju," Lin Yunyan asked softly, "Why didn't father go out today?"
"I was originally Xiu Mu, but I got up early and went out," Lin Ju said. "I came back within two quarters of an hour and said I wanted to see you for something."
After saying this, Lin Yunyan was determined.
In the study, Lin Yu stood by the back window with his hands behind his back.
Outside the window is half a yard, with a few rocks and a few green bamboos.
It wasn't carefully decorated, so it wasn't really a beautiful sight, but it looked comfortable to the eyes, and Lin Yu liked it very much.
Hearing his daughter's greetings, he turned around and pointed to the small table beside him: "I've prepared some snacks for you, let's talk while we eat."
Lin Yunyan naturally agreed.
Lin Ju served him hot tea and then left to wait outside.
Lin Yu wanted to talk about the two boxes of gold bricks, but when he saw Lin Yunyan biting the mung bean cake, he stopped talking.
Gold bricks, banned books.
He just went out and heard that Shuntian Mansion had opened two large boxes of banned books, and he was stunned for a moment.
He had seen gold bricks with his own eyes, and the so-called banned book was also a rhetoric he had thought of in a hurry that day, and it turned out to be true.
This kind of taste, Lin Yue came back to taste it, anyway, it was "dumbfounding".
He guessed that he had something to do with his daughter, and he was afraid that it would be a coincidence and Yun Yan would not know about it.
Then just wait until Yun Yan swallows it, in case she chokes...
Lin Yunyan simply padded her belly and took a sip of tea to moisten her throat.
"Gao An sent the thief and the two copper boxes to Shuntian Mansion together," Lin Yue asked, "Do you know about it?"
Lin Yunyan nodded.
When Lin Yu got the answer, he couldn't help but laugh: "Switching bags and attracting people to steal, the layout is good."
This time, it was Lin Yunyan's turn to be stunned.
She thought about clearly explaining the matters and thoughts involved. With her father's intelligence, he would certainly be able to understand her ambush. However, she did not expect that she would receive a compliment before she even revealed the inside story.
Judging by his father's expression, he was sincere in his praise and was not being sarcastic.
"Since both boxes have been delivered, Duke Fu Guo must also know about it," Lin Yu asked again, "What's his idea?"
Lin Yunyan shook her head: "Mine."
"Oh?" Lin Yu was a little surprised.
As a father, of course he will think that his daughter is smart, well-behaved, and outstanding. Anyway, all the girls in the world are not as good as his own daughter.
The same is true for Lin Yu, but he also has the simplest judgment on his daughter.
Yun Yan probably couldn't think of things like scheming and framing people.
Therefore, after hearing about the wonderful plot last night, Lin Yue preconceived the idea and subconsciously thought that the mastermind must be Duke Fu.
Lin Yunyan and her father refilled their tea and sorted out their thoughts, starting from the fine marks on the gold bricks, to the two businessmen behind the Wang brothers, to Zhu Cheng, Zhu Xian and his daughter, as well as the outer room and the children in the house.
"Exchange books for gold bricks to determine whether Zhu Cheng has seen things with his own eyes," Lin Yue nodded slowly, "Is anyone watching him right now?"
Lin Yunyan said: "The manpower arranged by the Duke."
Lin Yu asked again: "Where did the banned books come from?"
Lin Yunyan is responsible for everything she does, so the extra stuff is naturally not appropriate at all: "The Duke of the country got it from me."
With such an answer, it would be difficult for Lin Yu to pursue the question.
Then I thought about it, the old Mr. Guo had a bold personality and had many friends all over the world. It didn't seem strange that such an old man had something hidden in his hands.
"What if I didn't make up a banned book that morning?" Lin Yu was curious, "What are you going to stuff in the box?"
Lin Yunyan propped up her cheeks and smiled: "I just put some books in the study, and the idea came up. Maybe the Duke of the Kingdom thought of banning books."
"So, where did you hide the real thing?" Lin Yu asked, "Also let Duke Fu keep it?"
"No way!"
She knows all too well what will happen if she puts her eggs in one basket.
Lowering her voice, Lin Yunyan said: "There is a piece of land at the north end of Laoshi Alley. I am thinking of not building a house, but building a shop for a study business, and let Gao An dig a hidden cellar. For the time being, my grandmother will keep the things until the cellar is ready. Just move over.”
Lin Yu also agreed with this method of darkening under the lamp.
As for how to report this batch of gold bricks to the Yamen...
Regardless of who buried the gold bricks, it is impossible for them to see the light of day now.
Otherwise, they first had to ask Duke Fu to explain the origin of the forbidden book to Shuntian Mansion and the Holy One.
That's asking for trouble.
After figuring out the general situation, Lin Wei's focus fell on "fine marks."
He dipped his finger into some tea and drew a line on the table: "Is that so?"
Lin Yunyan looked at the water stains.
It faded, disappeared, and there is no trace anymore.
But it is also the "Mi" written by Li Mi with only one stroke.
"Yes." Lin Yunyan nodded solemnly.
