Chapter 256: Lunar New Year's eve
Chapter 256 New Year's Eve
"Of course, whether Cai Jin came to this so-called heirloom is just a guess at the moment." Zhen Guo just said: "But before and after King Yan enters Beijing, you must be more precautionary."
Xu Mingyi nodded in agreement, and said, “However, Cai Jin’s intentions still need to be ascertained, so that the right medicine can be prescribed.”
For example, will Cai Jin do what Zhan Yunzhu in the previous life did?
In the previous life, King King, who was demoted as a common man for being involved in the murder of the prince, went mad, and once confessed that the murder of the prince was instigated by her grandfather.
Then, in order to prove her grandfather's ‘innocence’, His Majesty ordered a thorough investigation of the town’s government office.
As a result, evidence of treason with the enemy was found.
And this evidence, she only learned after a long time, it was Zhan Yunzhu's handwriting.
Today, it is different from the past. Now Xu Jiajun is still in their town’s government office. It is expected that no matter how the emperor would dare to repeat the old tricks at this time, he unscrupulously accused them of collaborating with the enemy. After all, the emperor did not dare to press To get them out of control.
It can also be seen how important it is to hold the power of soldiers in your hands.
Especially when you are facing an unreasonable beast, a knife in your hand is the only bargaining chip you can use to win.
But the other party dare not return, there is nothing wrong with being cautious.
So, she must find out Cai Jin's real purpose to be able to feel at ease.
"Of course it needs to be investigated." Zhen Guo Gong said: "But don't rush for these few days, let's boil her down again."
When a person's patience is exhausted, it is the easiest to expose flaws, and it is also the most suitable to start inquiries.
This is the experience he has gained during the past few years in the army to interrogate me and the enemy.
"Why don't you leave this to your granddaughter?" Xu Mingyi recommended herself.
Zhen Guogong looked at her when he heard the words, and nodded with a smile: "Okay, it's up to you to figure it out. If you need something from your grandfather, just tell it."
Looking at the old man in front of him, Xu Mingyi still said: "Grandfather, thank you."
Grandfather not only indulges her, but also trusts her. No matter how big or small it was, even if it was just a word from her, grandfather never treated it perfunctorily.
It may be common for the elders to love or even dote on the child, but this love is not just to coax the child to be happy, but to take everything that respects the child seriously, but it is rare and rare.
In the bottom of her heart, she has the best grandfather in the world.
"What a silly boy..." After hearing her "thank you" repeatedly, Zhen Guogong smiled helplessly and shook his head.
The faint yellow afterglow reflected into the study room, setting off the scene of the grandfather and grandson sitting quietly and eating tea more and more warmly.
Sitting this way for more than a quarter of an hour, Xu Mingyi just returned to Xiyuan.
After returning to the courtyard, the first thing she did was to go into the study and write a letter.
After sealing the envelope personally, Xu Mingyi handed the letter to Akui.
"Send to Xuesheng Tea House."
"Hey!" Akui responded in a crisp voice.
Since is sent to Xuesheng Tea House, there is no need to ask who it is for.
Speaking of it, she hasn't been to Xuesheng Teahouse to deliver a letter for a long time.
When Akui arrives, no one welcomes him in the teahouse.
The business of the teahouse was normal. It was winter evening, and there were no guests coming. The hall was deserted. The man Shouming was sleeping behind the counter with a blanket on his lap.
Akui walked over and knocked on the counter.
Shou Ming woke up immediately, bared his teeth and bared his signature smile, the sentence "Keguan" only had time to say the word "Ke"——
"Girl Akui!"
He immediately stood up, his smile was obviously more surprising and real: "Why is this hour here?"
"My girl asked me to deliver the letter." Akui smiled and passed the letter over.
Shouming took it with a little surprise, with a greater smile in his eyes: "Miss Xu has returned to Beijing?"
Ms. Xu from the town’s government office went to Linyuan to make sacrifices to her grandparents. He also knew about this.
I just didn’t expect that this girl Xu would have been here for nearly a month. During the whole month, he was worried every day, for fear that girl Xu was attracted by other handsome men in Linyuan.
So I can’t help but worry about it. What if Xu girls won’t write to their grandchildren and leave them behind?
Although it is a bit humble to say that, but who told them to go up and down and count on Miss Xu, the living bodhisattva, to let the world’s grandchildren enlighten themselves.
Fortunately, Miss Xu still remembers their grandchildren.
Holding the envelope in his hand, Shou Ming was very relieved in the bottom of my heart.
"Yes, I just came back today." Akui said, "You take this letter, and I will go back first."
"Is this going back?"
Shouming chased out from behind the counter, and said, “I’ve been inquiring about a lot of fresh gossip recently. Miss Akui won’t listen to it today?”
"Come back another day, our girl is only back today." Akui smiled and waved at him, and walked away briskly.
Shou Ming couldn't help but sighed and smiled when she saw that the little maid's back had no nostalgia.
It seems that no matter how wonderful his gossip is, it is still far less important than her girl.
Watching the carriage leave, taking a look at the deserted street, Shou Ming turned off the lights in the front hall and bolted the door of the teahouse from the inside.
It is now closed in the new year, the shopkeeper said, from tomorrow, the restaurant will be closed and not doing business, and will open again after the fifth day.
Seven or eight days passed in a blink of an eye, and it was New Year’s Eve soon.
It has been rare sunny weather in the past few days. When the sky gets dark, the sky will be filled with stars.
Inside and outside the capital, the high-hanging colored lights seemed to disperse the darkness of the night. In the long streets and alleys, children lit lanterns and chased and played, occasionally there was the sound of firecrackers, and the adults who passed by the firecrackers laughed and cursed in surprise.
In Town Guogong’s mansion, there was a lot of excitement everywhere, and the people who had won the silver prize were all beaming.
Only in a courtyard to the north, it was a little bit deserted.
Cai Jin stood outside the hall, numbly listening to the faint noises coming from all around, but felt that the excitement had nothing to do with him.
Since she moved into this yard and was treated as a distinguished guest, she didn’t have to do the rough work of chopping wood and cleaning the floor, but she didn’t have to do the work, and she couldn’t see Xu Yun's face at all.
Not that she was under house arrest.
But Xu Yun did not leave his yard at all—at first she thought that the other party was hiding from her, but then she realized that this was the normal way for Mr. Xu to spend the winter.
Even saying that not leaving the yard is too much to praise him, to be precise, not leaving the bed at all.
It's really hard to get close to him.
She even felt that there was no one in this world who could complete this task.
said that every holiday season, he misses his relatives and thinks about his difficult situation, and Cai Jin can't help crying at this time.
"Can Miss Cai be here?"
At this moment, a voice suddenly came over.
