Xue Jinyi pondered for a moment and said to Qinglan: "Call Caiyun over." ”

Pu Yangzhen heard a sentence or two about Caiyun's matter, and asked curiously: "This girl doesn't serve people well, why did you call her over?" ”

"It's not good to serve people, but you can do it well." Xue Jinyi smiled mysteriously, and simply said to Puyang Zhen, "I haven't asked my mother for a few days, isn't there no way to go if I'm injured now?" Ask Caiyun to take me back to say hello, and by the way, bring back some of the things that my aunt and grandmother have rewarded. ”

"Oh, I see." Pu Yangzhen can understand it at one point, "It's still my sister-in-law who thinks thoughtfully." ”

After a while, Qinglan came back with Caiyun, and Xue Jinyi looked at her face, a little surprised.

When they first met, in Caiyun's eyes, the original owner seemed to be a livestock, and he was beaten and scolded. And now it is very different from the beginning, Caiyunda has been hanging his head respectfully and greeting him since he walked into the house.

"Caiyun," Xue Jinyi called, pointing to the rewards that Qingzhi had already selected, "I haven't been home for a few days, you go back with these rewards and say hello to my mother on my behalf." ”

She looked at Caiyun's eyes, and her eyes were also respectful and obedient, and she had to sigh that it was worthy of the eldest princess's mansion, and her mother's method of teaching people was much more vigorous than her boiling frogs in warm water.

"Yes, Miss Jin." Caiyun answered.

Pu Yangzhen glanced at Xue Jinyi, and Xue Jinyi said again: "There are more things, Qingzhi will accompany you." ”

Although Caiyun has been trained by the housekeeper mother of the eldest princess's mansion, who knows if she will play some tricks? Therefore, it is better to be cautious at the beginning.

"This little Buddha statue, Qingzhi helped me personally deliver it to my grandmother." She instructed again.

Pu Yang Zhen said with a smile: "My grandmother and the old lady of the Weiguo Mansion are both people who believe in Buddhism, and this Buddha statue has been cultivated by the incense of Baiyun Temple, and it is the most suitable gift to the old lady." This sentence must also be brought. ”

Xue Jinyi gave Pu Yangzhen a grateful look.

Pu Yang raised his eyebrows with a radiant look.

Qingzhi took Caiyun down, and Qinglan continued to serve the two of them to eat.

Pu Yangzhen pounded the food in the bowl with chopsticks, a little depressed.

Xue Jinyi sandwiched her favorite dish and asked, "Ah Zhen, is the food not to taste?" ”

Pu Yangzhen shook his head and muttered, "Brother Xuan doesn't think it's worth it." The first time he did something for his grandmother, the prince didn't know what he was afraid of, so he insisted on going to the Land Temple to do a show, so that the whole world would think that he was the one who did the work? ”

is also a cousin, but shouting that the king of Chu is "Brother Xuan", and the prince is "the prince", which shows this intimate relationship. Xue Jinyi put down her chopsticks and stroked her back, "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince really gave out fifty taels of gold. ”

Pu Yangzhen said again: "This money is actually from the queen, she will not miss any opportunity to create a good reputation for the prince, everyone in the world remembers it, my cousin was able to control the world back then, and reputation is one of the indispensable keys." And ......," she stared at Xue Jinyi meaningfully, "this money is not clean." ”

"Ah Zhen?" Xue Jinyi pressed her surprised expression, a little girl in her early teens still knows this? "You can't talk nonsense."

Pu Yangzhen said disdainfully: "Although my grandmother doesn't care about the government anymore, some eyeliner is still there." In the past few years, her Cai family has sold official positions and accepted bribes, and it is estimated that she is about to become rich. Fifty taels of gold is nothing to them, and using this money to buy a prince's good reputation is really a lucrative deal. ”

Xue Jinyi looked at Pu Yangzhen with a look of disgust, poured a bowl of cold mung bean soup and put it in front of her, "Ah Zhen, drink some of this." ”

"Sister-in-law, aren't you angry?" Pu Yangzhen asked, staring at Xue Jinyi with a pair of big eyes.

"Be angry, but calm down and think of ways to solve the problem." Xue Jinyi smiled and took a sip of the cold mung bean soup, "Right, Ah Zhen?" ”

Pu Yangzhen listened to it and drank the mung bean soup with a smile, "Sister-in-law is right. ”

Having said that, but what to do in the end, it still needs to be carefully considered, Xue Jinyi was a little worried in Puyang Zhen's excited gaze.

Pu Yangzhen couldn't wait to start acting immediately, grabbing Xue Jinyi's hand, "Sister-in-law, your legs and feet are inconvenient, I can take charge of the action!" ”

Xue Jinyi asked, "What do you say His Royal Highness the Crown Prince likes?" Especially those that are not known to the emperor and queen. ”

Seeing that Pu Yangzhen knows that the fifty taels of gold were made by Queen Cai, maybe he knows a little secret of the prince?

Pu Yangzhen didn't care about eating, and snorted coldly: "The prince is never like what he seems, sister-in-law, you have to be careful, you can't be taken seriously by his apparent benevolence and kindness!" ”

"I know." Xue Jinyi nodded, listening to Pu Yangzhen say how the prince disobeyed the yang and yin, and was a treacherous villain, but unfortunately he was more cautious in doing things, and Empress Cai swept the tail, so he couldn't get evidence to show the emperor.

“…… By the way, I heard that there is a palace man in the East Palace whose voice is like a heavenly sound, and he can bewitch people's hearts and make people sad and happy by singing songs. But the people in this palace only sang for the prince in private, and no one else had heard of it. Pu Yangzhen touched his chin, "Grandmother's eyeliner has been checked, this palace man was originally the youngest sister of Pan Niangzi of the Pingkang Fang Runtao family. ”

Xue Jinyi read the book and knew that Pingkangfang was a gathering place for brothels in Qinglou, and asked, "From a prostitute?" ”

Pu Yangzhen shook his head, "Mrs. Pan is, but she is not." The Pan sisters were exiled from the countryside to the capital, without support, and seeing that they were going to starve to death, Pan Niangzi had to sell herself into a prostitute to raise her younger sister. It is said that Pan Niangzi had a good voice and was drunk to many people, but unfortunately she was assassinated, poisoned and dumb and disfigured, and fell very miserably. ”

Xue Jinyi had an idea, "Does Xiao Pan know that his sister was killed by someone?" When she went to the East Palace, did she want to take revenge by the hand of the prince? ”

"I don't know about that." Pu Yangzhen was helpless, "There are so many ladies in Pingkangfang, and they come and go like a tide, even if they are famous, a few people remember them after they are old and decrepit, not to mention those with unknown surnames." Who killed Pan Niangzi, whether the murderer died or not, there is no way to know. ”

At this, she couldn't help but sigh.

"Then ......" Xue Jinyi felt that it didn't seem good to ask Pu Yangzhen this question, but no one could ask it now, "Is there anyone in Pingkangfang who has a better singing voice?" ”

"Since Mrs. Pan, except for the little Pan family, no one can compare." Pu Yangzhen replied, "Sister-in-law, have you thought of anything?" ”

Xue Jinyi looked at Pu Yangzhen, who was wrapped around her arm again, hesitated for a moment, and asked, "Ah Zhen, is this...... How do you know so much about prostitutes? ”
