In the morning, Gu Qingzhou was woken up by the sound of a tinkling phone.

The phone number on her bedside is known only to the Overseer's Mansion and the Yan family.

Gu Qingzhou only thought it was Yan Luoshui, and answered the phone in a daze.

She heard Mrs. Dong's voice.

"Young lady, I asked Mrs. Si about your phone number, don't bother you, right?" Mrs. Dong said.

Gu Qingzhou suddenly sobered up and said, "Don't bother." What's in a hurry for you so early? ”

"I want to go to the Yan Mansion early to meet Mrs. Yan, because I have to go to the tailor's shop at ten o'clock in the morning. The third child in my family has to make a few more clothes for tomorrow's banquet. Mrs. Dong said with a smile.

Gu Qingzhou's heart was completely sober.

At this time, she almost understood Mrs. Dong's intentions.

"Madam, you go to make clothes first, and it's the same for us to go to Yan's house in the evening." Gu Qingzhou said.

Mrs. Dong smiled: "I heard that Mrs. Yan is old-fashioned, and it is rude to disturb at night." ”

Mrs. Yan is indeed an old-fashioned habit, she rarely entertains at night, and she will not entertain guests at night, so she will know it as soon as she inquires.

"Then you'll be back in the afternoon, and we'll go again." Gu Qingzhou said.

Mrs. Dong's voice was squeamish: "Young lady, let's go now, I'll bring some pastries by the way, and it's not bad to go to Yan Mansion for breakfast." ”

She has been in Yuecheng for less than a day, and she has already learned some of Mrs. Si's soft language, and her babbling is very good.

Gu Qingzhou said: "Then I'll call and ask, how about it?" ”

Mrs. Dong said: "There is Mrs. Lao. ”

hung up the phone, Gu Qingzhou immediately called the Yan family.

The maid took it.

"Call Miss Four to answer the phone." Gu Qingzhou said.

"Fourth Miss?" The maid hesitated, "The fourth lady is still sleeping, and now I am afraid that I will be scolded if I call her at this point." ”

Gu Qingzhou looked at the clock on the wall, it was only half past six, and Yan Luoshui was used to getting up at seven o'clock.

"It's okay, just say what I called, or I'll go myself." Gu Qingzhou said.

The maid went and shouted.

Yan Luoshui was really angry: "Gu Qingzhou, you are lacking in virtue early in the morning!" ”

"I have something important." Gu Qingzhou said.

Yan Luoshui was angry: "Nothing is as important as sleeping." ”

Gu Qingzhou smiled.

Yan Luoshui yawned, and Gu Qingzhou continued: "You tell your mother, let your mother tell the servants at home, and say that your father-in-law went to the camp, and you and your fifth brother followed your mother to a relative's house and came back at night." ”

"Why?" Yan Luo was puzzled.

Gu Qingzhou told Yan Luoshui about her guess.

"You're listening to me." Gu Qingzhou said everything he wanted to say slowly.

She said for two or three minutes, but Yan Luoshui didn't interrupt and listened carefully.

Yan Luoshui listened, a spirit.

"Really?" She asked.

Gu Qingzhou bowed: "It should be true, my guess has always been reliable." This Madame Dong is going to visit you early in the morning, and I can't guess what other purpose she has. ”

Yan Luoshui bit his lip.

She was wearing flannel pajamas, and when she went downstairs, her shoes on, her heels freezing in the cold air.

Shocked and cold, Yan Luoshui completely woke up, and he didn't feel sleepy.

"Qingzhou, we always have to see Mrs. Dong, you don't see this trick, just raise the soup to stop the boiling." Yanluo Waterway.

Gu Qingzhou smiled: "You are really anxious!" Step by step, she thought that if she could take advantage, we would naturally be able to do it too. ”

Yan Luoshui asked her what she meant.

Gu Qingzhou explained it to her.

After listening to Gu Qingzhou's explanation, Yan Luoshui smiled: "This is also quite reliable." ”

Gu Qingzhou smiled and hung up the phone.

She thought for a moment.

About three minutes later, Mrs. Dong's call came in again, interrupting Gu Qingzhou's contemplation.

Mrs. Dong smiled: "Young lady, how is it?" The driver should know your address, I'll pick you up now, how? ”

Gu Qingzhou was very apologetic and said: "Madam, this is very embarrassing, I just called, and I learned that my stepmother took the two children and went to my aunt's house in a foreign country." ”

Mrs. Dong was stunned.

It was a refusal to see her.

Mrs. Dong felt that she was a guest, and she was still a very distinguished guest, and the Yan family refused to see her, which means that the problem is a bit serious!

"And she's not coming back today?" Mrs. Dong asked.

Gu Qingzhou said: "You should be able to come back in the evening, and you will be able to see her at tomorrow's banquet." ”

Mrs. Dong hesitated.

"Why don't you call me again if it's early in the evening?" Mrs. Dong asked, "It's okay to make an exception to visit at night, right?" ”

Gu Qingzhou agreed: "It's okay." If they come back in the afternoon, we'll go over for dinner. ”

The call ended, and Mrs. Dong also fell into deep thought.

Marshal Dong Jinxuan had already gotten up and combed his hair and beard in front of the mirror.

"How?" He asked Mrs. Dong.

Mrs. Dong's eyebrows were a little frosty: "I think Gu Qingzhou detected my intentions, she deduced that Mrs. Yan was not at home, but she clearly said yesterday that she was willing to take me to Yan's house, it was impossible for her not to know that Mrs. Yan was going out." Mrs. Yan must still be at home, she made it up. ”

Dong Jinxuan said: "I said that you were too eager, but it aroused Gu Qingzhou's suspicions." ”

Mrs. Dong wanted to go to breakfast, but she actually wanted to go to the Yan Mansion to hang out all day.

She's not going to make clothes.

Mrs. Dong Ling Man is conceited and intelligent, if she stays with Mrs. Yan, Yan Luoshui, and Yan Yiyuan from morning to night all day, she will be able to find out their personalities and strengths and weaknesses from their conversations.

Because Dong Jinxuan and his wife decided to give Yan Xinnong a test tomorrow, they wanted to start with their families.

When it comes to Mrs. Yan and Yan Xinnong's children, Mrs. Dong feels that it is most important to observe and understand them first.

She lied to Gu Qingzhou that there was something in the morning, so she visited early, in fact, to buy more time.

As long as she went to Yan's house, she could say in the morning that she was reluctant to leave when she saw Mrs. Yan, and if she had to have lunch, Mrs. Yan would never be embarrassed to drive her; After noon, when she asked to visit the courtyard of Yan's mansion, Mrs. Yan could only agree; After walking around the yard to eat, and then asked to play cards, until dinnertime, Mrs. Yan must keep the meal.

On this day, with three meals a day, Mrs. Dong can find out the shortcomings of everyone in the Yan family and find out their personalities.

The plan was very good, but he didn't want to be seen through by Gu Qingzhou.

"It's not that it's not without gains, at least I know that this Gu Qingzhou is indeed very cautious." Dong Jinxuan comforted his wife, "Cautious people are actually easy to deal with." ”

Mrs. Dong blinked her beautiful eyes and looked at her husband.

Comprehending, Mrs. Dong smiled slightly.

Gu Qingzhou went to Yan's house.

Huo Huijing is also here today.

Gu Qingzhou said his guess: "Let me first put forward a conjecture: Dong Jinxuan has ambitions to Yuecheng, and the overseers don't know it.

Well, he will start from the junta. Si Mu is too young and has no achievements in the army, and the overseer is going to Nanjing, and his father-in-law is the support.

If Dong Jinxuan is ambitious, he will test his father-in-law first to see the depth of his father-in-law. If the father-in-law is difficult to deal with, they will relent; If the father-in-law is a deceitful, they will let go of their hands and feet.

If my conjecture is true, then Dong Jinxuan and his wife will not just attend the banquet tomorrow, and Mrs. Dong has ulterior motives for asking to visit today. ”

Mrs. Yan's back stiffened.

Yan Luoshui pursed his lips, and the blackness in his heart was already faintly troubled.

And Yan Yiyuan was born stupid and sweet, he said: "Not really, right? People come to be officials, and you women love to think nonsense. ”

Yan Luoshui smiled: "See, the flaw is here!" If I were Mrs. Dong, I would have stabbed you first. ”

Yan Yiyuan hid back.

Huo Huijing said: "I'm going to the banquet too, I'll follow Yiyuan." Don't worry, I won't tell anyone to calculate. ”

Yan Yiyuan immediately grinned: "Ah Jing, you are so good to me!" ”

Huo Huijing coughed awkwardly, embarrassed by Yan Yiyuan's enthusiasm and straightforwardness.

Mrs. Yan smiled at this time.

Gu Qingzhou comforted her: "Mom, don't worry, isn't there still us?" Besides, I'm just guessing. Guarding against others is indispensable, right? Let's guess the villain first, if we guess wrong, it's just that we are villains in vain, isn't it more happy? ”

Mrs. Yan smiled at this time.

She knew Gu Qingzhou's acumen.

Gu Qingzhou guessed that Mrs. Dong had a problem, that is, there was definitely a problem.

However, Gu Qingzhou painstakingly comforted her and made Mrs. Yan happy.

Mrs. Yan disdains to calculate people's hearts, but she is not a stupid person. She has so many children, except for Xiao Wu, who is a natural optimist, which of the other children is not a hundred times more shrewd?

At four o'clock in the afternoon, Mrs. Dong called Gu Qingzhou and asked if Mrs. Yan had returned.

The maid of the new house told Mrs. Dong: "The young lady wants to hold a banquet, and she is busy and is not at home. ”

Mrs. Dong was not reconciled, so she asked her entourage to pretend to be a shipping company and call Mrs. Yan.

The Yan family's phone number is unknown to outsiders, but Mrs. Dong has an insider.

After getting through, the maid took it and said, "Mrs. has gone to relatives, the old aunt has been admitted to the hospital, and Mrs. has taken the fourth lady and the fifth young master to visit the patient." ”

Mrs. Yan had already told her family not to leak their mouths.

The entourage of the Dong family asked again, "When will Mrs. Yan come back?" ”

"I'm coming back tonight, my wife let me stay at the door." Maid.

The maid waited for the phone to hang up, and immediately went to tell Mrs. Yan.

Mrs. Yan bowed.

Mrs. Dong also immediately understood: "The Yan family is vigilant. ”

Sure enough, they wanted to test Yan Xinong, and their purpose had reached fifty percent.

The people of the Yan family are very cautious and seamlessly united.

"Tomorrow's banquet, let's see how they react." Dong Jinxuan thought it was quite interesting, "Do you know how to look at Yan Xinnong?" ”

Mrs. Dong was puzzled.

Dong Jinxuan taught her a trick.

The couple had a lot of discussions.

Gu Qingzhou returned to the new house at night, but Si Mu still didn't come back.

The servant said, "The young marshal has not been back since last night, but I am afraid that he has gone to the Overseer's Palace." ”

Gu Qingzhou thought of him saying that he wanted to marry his aunt's wife, and thought to himself, "Overseer's Mansion? I'm afraid I'm going to Gentle Township."

It had nothing to do with her.

His mind just passed over from there, and then he shifted to the feast tomorrow.

The banquet was a dinner party, and the dignitaries and celebrities of Yuecheng were invited.

The next day, Gu Qingzhou had breakfast and was about to go to the Overseer's Mansion, when Si Mu came back.

"I have something to say." Smoothie.
