Chapter 814: Zhuangzi is not simple
"Yes." Jin Yang nodded and pointed to the place where the door was, "These doors seem ordinary, but in fact, there are some hidden doorways. ”
"Doorway?" Xue Jinyi couldn't help but look at the door, and through the gap she could see the ordinary courtyard door, "What kind of doorway?" Is there a problem with the door in our yard as well? ”
Jin Yang took another piece of paper and drew the style of the courtyard door, "Look at this door panel, it is about a finger wider than usual, and there are some subtle traces on the door, and the subordinates estimate that there are hidden weapons in it." In addition, the courtyard wall is also high, and there is a small river outside the Zhuangzi to surround the half circle, does the eldest lady think that the whole Zhuangzi is like a fortress? ”
Xue Jinyi narrowed her eyes, "It is indeed easy to defend and difficult to attack, and it is within Tongguan, close to Huayin County, so it is also a way to attack the capital directly." ”
She looked at the picture drawn by Jin Yang, frowned, and fell into deep thought.
However, she didn't think about it for too long, and instructed Jin Yang: "Continue to stare at the suspicious places in the Zhuangzi, and all the people of the Luan family must also keep an eye on them, they must also be involved with the remnants of the previous dynasty." ”
Jin Yang should go down and go out quickly.
Xue Jinyi lit the pieces of paper and threw them into the brazier.
Qinglan sighed: "The slave maid saw that Miss Luan was simple and cute, but she didn't expect ......"
Xue Jinyi said: "I don't know if she is involved." ”
However, even if Miss Luan is kept in the dark, it is a capital crime to collude with the remnants of the previous dynasty and cause trouble to the Great Zhou, and if the family is implicated, Miss Luan will not be able to avoid it at that time.
She rubbed her eyebrows, "Don't think about this for the time being, let's do things according to the original plan." ”
"Yes." Qinglan owes herself.
Not long after, Pu Yangxuan returned.
He was accompanied by Miss Luan.
“…… I met a merchant, and I forgot about it when I met late. Miss Luan muttered sadly.
Xue Jinyi smiled softly and rubbed her hands, "Then forget him with nothing and enjoy it happily." ”
"Hmm!" Miss Luan nodded vigorously, then looked at Pu Yangxuan, "Uncle Cui, how are your goods selling?" Do you need help from our family to introduce guests? ”
"I found a trading house, and all the goods I brought with me today were sold." Puyang Xuan Road.
Xue Jinyi smiled: "That's really good, we have the money to buy more peppercorns." ”
Miss Luan smiled sweetly, "I will personally choose the best peppercorns for you!" ”
Xue Jinyi gave Pu Yangxuan a look, and came to the small stove room with a smile with Miss Luan, the ingredients were ready, just waiting for them to start work.
"Aunt Cui, what are you going to cook today?" Miss Luan asked excitedly.
Xue Jinyi asked, "Did Wang Gongzi eat spicy food?" ”
"He has a lighter appetite, but don't worry about him." Miss Luan shook her hand, "I see him, I'm going to have a good time with other merchants tonight." ”
Xue Jinyi said with a smile: "It is very beneficial to socialize with different people a lot, and to embark on a career in the future and be thoughtful and tactful." ”
Miss Luan listened to it and felt that it made sense.
Xue Jinyi asked: "Speaking of which, when Wang Gongzi passes the general examination and the palace examination, do you want to stay in the capital or go to a foreign country to temper and temper?" ”
Miss Luan shook her head, "We haven't discussed such a distant matter yet." ”
"Haven't you discussed?" Xue Jinyi pretended to be shocked.
"Uh......" Miss Luan almost touched her chin with the hand that had kneaded the dough, "I always feel ...... I will always stay in Huayin, after all, my brother and I have to take care of the family's business together. ”
Xue Jinyi said: "However, I heard that officials can't stay in their hometown, so I think they can't stay in Huayin." ”
"Ahh......h
It was Wang Gongzi who knew that he would definitely be in the capital in the future, and his future was bright, so there was no need to discuss this issue with Miss Luan at all.
Xue Jinyi looked at Miss Luan frowning slightly, her face was a little ugly, and she hurriedly said apologetically: "I'm sorry, Miss Luan, it's me who is too talkative, maybe Wang Gongzi has an answer to this question, so you don't need to worry about it." ”
Hearing this, Miss Luan's brows finally loosened a little, "That's right." ”
Subsequently, Xue Jinyi changed the topic, "I think this house is quite new, has it been renovated recently?" ”
Miss Luan nodded, "Just two years ago, my father disliked that the house was not grand enough and was not worthy of our identity as a well-known wealthy businessman in Huazhou, so he invited several groups of craftsmen to rebuild the Zhuangzi. ”
"Two years ago, ah......" Xue Jinyi smiled: "It's really magnificent, I see that the wall is high, and it also prevents thieves from coming in, right?" ”
"Yes, yes, this Zhuangzi is outside the city, but you have to be careful everywhere."
"No wonder I found several groups of craftsmen." Xue Jinyi had something to say, staring at Miss Luan's face, "I put a lot of thought into it." ”
Miss Luan smiled embarrassedly: "Daddy always said that the craftsmen are either lazy or not satisfied with what they do, so in exchange for it, it took a month and a half more than the estimated construction period to complete the renovation." ”
In this way, no craftsman can know the complete layout of the Zhuangzi. Xue Jinyi covered a piece of cloth on the kneaded dough, "I want to visit your Zhuangzi a little bit." ”
"We can have a night tour of Zhuangzi!" Miss Luan clapped her hands happily, "If Aunt Cui is too dark to see clearly, we'll go shopping again tomorrow!" ”
Xue Jinyi saw that she agreed very happily, and smiled, "It's still tomorrow, although I was happy to play outside today, I was a little tired." ”
"Okay." Miss Luan didn't think much about it, and agreed.
In the evening, the fragrant meal filled the table again, and Young Master Luan accompanied Wang Gongzi and the merchants to drink and talk happily, so only Miss Luan had dinner with them alone today.
Xue Jinyi asked in surprise, "Isn't your father coming back today?" ”
"That's what matters." Miss Luan pouted, "I hope we can meet and have a meal before you leave." ”
"I hope so." Xue Jinyi didn't force it, "If we really can't meet, then wait for the next time we come to Huayin, we will have a good meal." ”
As she spoke, she sandwiched a large piece of ribs for Miss Luan.
"Let's eat and try your own craft, you're quite talented."
Miss Luan happily nibbled on pork ribs.
Xue Jinyi's gaze turned to Pu Yangxuan, who silently winked.
She knew it in her heart, she didn't say anything, and after everyone was full of wine and food, she sent Miss Luan out.
At this time, the night was already dark, but there were still voices in the village, and some lights were on, which looked like an ordinary big family.
"Aunt Cui, I understand that I will come to you again!" Miss Luan touched her belly and smiled embarrassedly, but who called Aunt Cui a clever mouth and a pair of skillful hands, not only did the dishes she made herself look good and fragrant, but under her teaching, her cooking skills had also grown greatly, so she ate it unconsciously.
"Okay......" Xue Jinyi had just agreed, and suddenly a flash of fire fell into the corner of her eye.
