"Xiaoya, why are you always following me today?"
In the Hong residence, Hong Dingfeng looked back at his little sister and asked.
"Oh~ I was discovered by my elder brother. In fact, a new batch of silk and satin arrived at Fengxiangpu today. It's really beautiful."
"Why, dad doesn't allow you to buy it?" Hong Dingfeng replied with a smile after listening.
"Hey, big brother is still smart."
"You, there are so many silks and satins in the warehouse, and you insist on buying them outside. It's no wonder Dad disagrees."
"It's new, it doesn't exist at home."
Shaking his head helplessly, Hong Dingfeng said: "If you want money, go to your second brother, I'm not rich."
"Okay~" After a long sound, Hong Yaxuan turned and left.
"This girl is too realistic..." Seeing Hong Yaxuan leaving decisively, Hong Dingfeng couldn't help rolling his eyes.
When Hong Dingfeng walked away, Hong Yaxuan patted his chest and let out a sigh of relief.
'Phew... I didn't expect to be discovered by my elder brother so soon, but fortunately I was witty. '
After the discussion yesterday, the only task Jiang Beiran gave Hong Yaxuan was to let her go home to see what was different from before, and not to miss any details.
And Hong Yaxuan naturally started with the elder brother who knew the most about the family, but after following her all morning, she didn't see anything different about her elder brother, and even the sad face that she would show before had disappeared.
'Could it be that the troubles brought by the Liu family have been resolved? '
Feeling that the matter would not be so simple, Hong Yaxuan thought hard and decided to observe the second brother again.
In Youshi, according to the agreement, Hong Yaxuan came to the pavilion.
"Did you find anything?" Jiang Beiran, who was sitting in the gazebo, raised his head and asked Hong Yaxuan.
"I... I found out that the second brother went out to steal food behind my sister-in-law's back!"
Jiang Beiran let out a long breath after hearing this, "What else?"
"This is serious! My sister-in-law is so virtuous, yet he still..."
Hong Yaxuan was halfway through speaking, seeing Jiang Beiran's sharper eyes, she had to slowly shut her mouth and lowered her head.
"I'm not interested in your housework, let's talk business."
"Oh... I followed the two brothers for a day, but I really didn't find anything. They are all the same as usual."
"Sigh, it seems that I still overestimated you." After Jiang Beiran finished speaking, he looked at Luo Wenzhou who was standing aside and said, "Go and call Cheng Yi."
"Yes."
Luo Wenzhou responded and walked out of the pavilion.
Not long after, Gu Qinghuan was brought into the gazebo, and shouted to Jiang Beiran, "Brother."
Hong Yaxuan met Boss Song a few times at home, and knew that even her father would greet him with a smile and treat him as a distinguished guest.
At this time, Boss Song... just like the housekeeper Zhang at home when he saw his father.
"Who is this person..." Hong Yaxuan couldn't help but glanced at Jiang Beiran again.
After explaining the matter to Gu Qinghuan in detail, Jiang Beiran looked at Hong Yaxuan and said, "Tomorrow I will let Chengyi go to your mansion. All you have to do is to find an empty space where no one is around. Do you understand?"
"Stay in an empty space without people? What do you mean?" Hong Yaxuan asked strangely.
Without answering Hong Yaxuan, Jiang Beiran looked at Gu Qinghuan and said, "Do you understand the plan?"
"Understood." Gu Qinghuan nodded.
'what? plan, what plan? '
Hong Yaxuan looked confused, she had been listening just now, but she didn't hear any plans at all.
"Well, go, teach her what to do on the way."
"Yes." She cupped her hands towards Jiangbei, and Gu Qinghuan left the pavilion with Hong Yaxuan who was still in a dazed state.
When Gu Qinghuan walked away, Jiang Beiran looked at Luo Wenzhou who was on the side and said, "You also go to Liu's residence to check and see if there is anything unusual."
"Yes." Luo Wenzhou bowed his hands towards Jiang Beiran, and Luo Wenzhou also walked out of the pavilion.
Sitting back at the stone table again, Jiang Beiran picked up the teacup and took a sip.
Putting two sunspots that he didn't know where he came from on the chessboard, Jiang Beiran's eyes froze.
"The Liu family, which is backed by the royal family, and the Hong family, which is a vassal of the Sifang sect, what kind of energy can these two forces burst out..."
Then Jiang Beiran kept dropping several sunspots on the chessboard.
"The first time I came to Lanzhou, I was involved in the power center. If I want to break the situation without injury, I'm afraid I have to be more careful."
As he spoke, Jiang Beiran picked up another white piece.
"Fortunately, I have enough chess pieces, and I... am also very good at playing slow chess."
With the sound of "da", Jiang Beiran dropped Baizi away from Heizi.
At noon the next day, Hong Yaxuan, who had just finished her lunch, stood by a rockery in the yard. No one would come here on weekdays, which met Lin Yu's elder brother's request.
'Who is he, and why did he come to Jiyuan Town? If I ask him for help, it won't be a sheep in the mouth of a tiger, right? '
Just when Hong Yaxuan was thinking about something, she suddenly felt a pat on the back.
Hong Yaxuan instinctively wanted to scream, but remembering Boss Song's explanation yesterday, she quickly covered her mouth again.
Turning around, Boss Song in a long gown appeared in front of her just out of thin air.
"Song... Boss Song, where did you come in from?"
Yesterday when Hong Yaxuan heard that Brother Lin Yu wanted Boss Song to come to their house, Hong Yaxuan thought it was a very formal visit, but after chatting with Boss Song, she realized that he did not intend to go the main way.
However, even though she was mentally prepared, Hong Yaxuan was still a little frightened when she saw Boss Song suddenly appearing in front of her.
Gu Qinghuan's sudden appearance in front of Hong Yaxuan was naturally due to wearing Minran. Since Jiang Beiran thought that the single style of Minran was also a problem last time, he made Minran into all kinds of luggage. The core is formation, not appearance.
When Hong Yaxuan's mood stabilized a bit, Gu Qinghuan asked, "Miss Hong, I don't know if your residence is extravagant and wasteful in daily expenses?"
'Extravagance? '
Although Hong Yaxuan didn't understand why Boss Song would suddenly ask such a question, she still answered seriously: "No... My father often teaches us brothers and sisters not to waste money, and he is also a frugal person."
"What about the daily meal? Is there violence?"
"Meal?"
Hong Yaxuan frowned and thought for a moment, "I didn't pay attention to this." After she finished speaking, she raised her finger as if she suddenly remembered something: "By the way, Cui Rong must know, I'll call her here."
Soon, Hong Yaxuan dragged Qin Cuirong over.
"Hello, Mr. Song." Qin Cuirong saluted Gu Qinghuan politely when she saw Gu Qinghuan.
Gu Qinghuan bowed back and said, "It's troublesome."
On the way, Qin Cuirong had already heard from her own lady what she was looking for this time, so she answered after thinking for a while.
"Sometimes I'm with Guixiang... Oh, Guixiang is the maid in charge of grocery shopping in the house. When I went shopping with her, she told me that the house rule is to eat the freshest vegetables, and the master Don’t waste it, so you usually buy as much as you eat.”
After listening, Gu Qinghuan nodded her head twice, and said, "Thank you."
Seeing that Boss Song didn't take the initiative to say why he asked about this, Hong Yaxuan couldn't help being curious and said, "I don't know why Boss Song asked about this?"
Gu Qinghuan pursed her lips into a smile, and replied: "When you were having lunch today, I went to the East Kitchen to take a look, and found that there were a lot of leftovers left in the kitchen, which was rather wasteful."
"Eh?" Hong Yaxuan was a little strange after hearing this.
Before Hong Yaxuan could ask again, Gu Qinghuan looked at Qin Cuirong and said, "Miss Cuirong, right? I still have something to trouble you with."
"Please tell me." Qin Cuirong immediately bent down to salute.
"Do you usually help in the kitchen?"
"Yes, occasionally." Qin Cuirong nodded.
"That being the case, you just need to be natural and ask some questions for me..."
Shen Shi, Gui Xiang, who came back to the East Kitchen with a vegetable basket, shouted, "General Cai, there are Chrysanthemum chrysanthemums for sale at the entrance of the vegetable market today. I bought some more, and you can serve them cold."
Le Dong, who was picking vegetables, immediately stood up and said back and forth: "This is a rare item. I haven't seen you buy it for a long time. Why do you suddenly have it today?"
Because there is no refrigerator, seasonal wild vegetables like Chrysanthemum chrysanthemum are usually available in the same month, and they have to be from rich families.
Putting down the vegetable basket, Guixiang said as if asking for credit: "Jia Bo went to the mountains to dig it, and he dug a lot."
"Hey, have you entered the mountain? He's brave enough. There are a lot of wild animals in the mountain recently. I heard that there are strange beasts infesting."
"No, but thanks to his courage, we are also lucky."
While the two were talking, Qin Cuirong ran over bouncingly, and immediately shouted after seeing the chrysanthemum chrysanthemum in the vegetable basket: "Ah! There are wild vegetables to eat today."
Gui Xiang laughed and said, "You still have a good nose, you come as soon as you have something delicious."
"How can I~ I miss you, don't I?"
"Then you should come earlier and go shopping with me."
"Okay~ I will come early tomorrow."
After exchanging pleasantries, Qin Cuirong looked at Le Dong and said, "General Cai, leave me to help cook today."
The Hong family is very generous to the servants. The servants can also share a bite of the dishes eaten by the master's family, especially those who help in the east kitchen can eat more.
So Ledong saw that Qin Cuirong was greedy for Chrysanthemum chrysanthemum.
"Okay, okay, then you have to work harder." Le Dong said with a smile.
"It's on me!"
Half an hour later, East Chef had come to the end of his work, Qin Cuirong looked at the steamer in Le Dong's hand and asked, "General Cai, why are you making so many steamed buns today? It's much more than when I came last time, oh, I Got it, don't you..."
"Don't dare to talk nonsense!" Le Dong quickly put on a serious face, "This is all explained by the young master, let me steam more steamed buns in the next few days."
"Oh~" Qin Cuirong nodded knowingly.
"You girl, what do you think of me, really..."
"Hey, I just want to ask if the master likes to eat the steamed buns you made and asked you to make more. Where are you going?"
"Ghost spirit, get out of the way, be careful not to bump into you."
Then those who continued to help in the east kitchen found out that they also took out some more pickles, which was also ordered by the young master.
At Xushi, Qin Cuirong, who had obtained the information, cautiously came to the gate of the back garden and found her young lady.
"Have you asked all the questions?" Hong Yaxuan asked.
"Yeah! That's all." Qin Cuirong nodded vigorously.
"Okay, let's go in then."
When they came to the rockery, before the two of them looked around, they saw Boss Song coming out from behind the rockery.
Arching hands towards the two of them, Gu Qinghuan looked at Qin Cuirong and said, "Thank you, girl."
"It's not hard work, it's not hard work." Qin Cuirong waved her hands again and again, and then immediately replied: "Sir, I have found out everything you asked me to inquire about. The East Chef has indeed cooked more food these days, and said that it was the young master's order. "
After hearing Qin Cuirong's answer, Hong Yaxuan couldn't help being secretly surprised.
Not to mention whether the information is useful or not, Boss Song discovered the abnormality after only half a day here, but she never thought about it in this direction at all.
'Oh... I'm going to be called stupid again by that person, no, no! I'm not stupid, Miss Ben is very smart, hum! '
After comforting herself in her heart, Hong Yaxuan couldn't hold back her curiosity and asked again: "I don't know how this little thing will help sir?"
"I won't bother you about the next thing, Miss Hong. When there is a result, my brother will naturally inform you in the pavilion tomorrow. Let's take a step first and leave."
After Gu Qinghuan finished speaking, she put on the Lun scarf and walked back to the rockery, but when Hong Yaxuan and Qin Cuirong followed up together, they found that he was no longer there.
In the night, Qin Cuirong, who felt a chill, grabbed the young lady's arm, and said in a trembling voice: "This Mr. Song is really a strange person."
"Yes." Hong Yaxuan nodded.
But what Hong Yaxuan is more curious about at the moment is what kind of existence is the one who can control two strange people at the same time.
That night, Hong Yaxuan suffered from insomnia.
She tossed and turned, not trying to figure out what Boss Song had discovered, and what this discovery would bring to their Hong family.
'I'm not going to get into trouble...'
Hong Yaxuan suddenly panicked, but only after a little panic, she decided not to scare herself, because her instinct told her that that person would not harm her.
'But what is it...'
In this way, Hong Yaxuan tossed and turned until Tianming, but she was also a cultivator after all, it was nothing if she didn't sleep all night, and she survived till You hour, and finally Hong Yaxuan, who waited for the appointed time, couldn't wait to come outside the gazebo.
"Hoo..."
After adjusting her breath, Hong Yaxuan walked into the pavilion slowly, and found Lin Yu and the three of them were in the pavilion.
Just as Hong Yaxuan was about to surrender, she saw Jiang Beiran making a gesture to drive her away and said, "You don't need to report today, go home and wait for the news, and I will tell you when the matter is found out."
"what!?"
Hong Yaxuan was taken aback, but still couldn't help asking: "I want to ask Song yesterday..."
"You can go back, I don't want to say it a second time."
Looking at Jiang Beiran's sharp eyes, Hong Yaxuan couldn't help shrinking her neck, bowed her head and said, "Yes..."
Walking to a grove far away from the gazebo, Hong Yaxuan couldn't help stomping her feet twice.
"Bad guy! He's fierce! He's fierce!"
Hong Yaxuan couldn't help but feel a little aggrieved for a while, but felt that that person seemed to have really found out the matter, otherwise why would she not need the help of her, an insider of the family.
'Forget it, for the sake of his being so caring, I will forgive him one more time. '
