Coming out of Guhou's mansion, everyone saw Yufu and flattered Guhou, all of them were satisfied.
After bidding farewell outside the gate of the Hou Mansion, each went back to each house, each looking for each mother.
"Young Master Yin, go slowly."
A middle-aged official smiled, bowed his hands to a handsome young man, and added against his will, "Say hello to your father, Prime Minister Yin, for me."
Prime Minister Yin is a nuisance, but his son Yin Shuo is the opposite, and is very popular in the court.
Everyone is willing to make friends with Yin Shuo, as for Prime Minister Yin, he can only reluctantly say something.
The young prince was dressed in a white brocade robe and was about to get into the sedan chair when he heard this and turned around to salute the official.
As if he couldn't hear the reluctance in his words.
"Okay, my lord, go slowly."
When he spoke, his voice was modest and reserved, and his warm eyes were slightly smiling, making people look like a spring breeze.
After finishing speaking, he bent down and got into the sedan chair, and slowly opened the folding fan in his hand. On it was a pair of ink and wash landscape paintings by the famous Zhang Daqian.
His eyes looked at the painting, and it seemed that he was looking at someone else through the painting.
The distant mountains contain emerald green, well arranged.
Like the flower buds of that little girl's black hair, the natural oil is shiny and smooth, like silk.
The green water is winding and sparkling.
It seemed that her eyes were moving, and she was as lively as a deer in the forest, jumping in the mist.
There is also a peach blossom on the bank of the river, just like the pear dimples on her cheeks, so sweet that it attracts bees and butterflies.
When she smiled and ran up to call for big brother, Yin Shuo's heart skipped a beat, but what he saw was her throwing herself to Gu Shubai's side.
At that moment, he actually felt jealous of Gu Shubai.
And Gu Shubai called her, Yufu.
Yufu, one day the clouds are broken, and the two trees are sparse.
What a great name.
After a long time, the sandalwood in the sedan chair curled up, and his eyes flickered through the smoke.
"Let's get up the sedan chair."
…
"Have you seen the illegitimate daughter of Gu Hou Mansion?"
In the study outside the prime minister's mansion, through a series of doors to the inner room, is where Prime Minister Yin usually works.
The room is not big, but what attracts attention is the bookshelves that cover the two walls with densely packed books of various colors. Opposite is Prime Minister Yin's desk.
On the thick rosewood book table, the official documents are neatly stacked, and the rest is a pen holder, a square of ancient inkstone, and a stack of equally neat white paper.
Prime Minister Yin was sitting on the grand teacher's chair behind the desk, behind him was a half-open window, outside the window was shaded by pines and cypresses.
"I see. But according to the child, that little girl is not Gu Houye's illegitimate daughter."
"Not an illegitimate daughter?!"
Prime Minister Yin raised his head, a pair of sharp eagle eyes stood out on his thin face, and his protruding cheekbones made him look mean and unkind.
He was born completely different from Yin Shuo, one was upright and harsh, while the other was as gentle as jade.
"Um."
Yin Shuo recalled the scene he saw at the banquet.
He didn't deliberately talk to Yufu today, in order not to arouse Gu Huaijiang's suspicion, but he observed Yufu carefully in the corner, without any mistakes.
"Every part of her facial features is not similar to Master Gu. The six princes of Guhou's mansion have more or less traces of Master Gu, but Yufu has none at all."
When Prime Minister Yin heard him call Yufu's name affectionately, there was something strange in his eyes.
"Maybe she is like her mother, not like her father. Just like you and Ji Qiang."
Yin Shuo shook his head.
"Didn't my father send someone to investigate at the border? Did it ever find out that Gu Hou Ye kept an outside house? If there really was such a person, after more than ten years, it is impossible that there is no trace left behind?"
"According to your point of view, if this Yufu is not Gu Huaijiang's daughter, who else is he who deserves his love and care?"
Prime Minister Yin frowned, snorted, and was extremely dissatisfied with Gu Huaijiang.
"This Gu Huaijiang has bewitched the Sacred Heart, and by virtue of his repeated victories in the court, he has achieved a status of under one person and above ten thousand people, and even surpassed me, the prime minister! I don't believe that he is really so powerful and never loses. ? He must have some kind of secret collusion with Xikun, Shuo Er—"
Yin Shuo bowed his head and waited for his order.
"You have a lot of friends in the court, and you have also been involved with Guhou's mansion. You have to get close to this little girl for your father, and try to see if you can find any clues about the collusion between Gu Huaijiang and Xikun from her."
"Yes, my son will follow my father's orders. But there is no need to rush this matter. The Guhou family are not stupid. They protect Yufu like that. My son can't rush in. I can only ask my father to wait patiently for a while."
"Hmph, the more they care about a little girl of unknown origin, the more they have ghosts in their hearts. Don't worry, as a father, he has been bullied by Gu Huaijiang for so many years, and it won't be a year or so. As long as you If we can find evidence of his collaborating with the enemy, even if my father dies, I will rest in peace... "
Yin Shuo came out of the study, still thinking about Yu Fu's frowns and smiles.
He was also surprised.
Why was she all in his mind just after meeting her once? He even remembered clearly whether the red spot on her forehead was vermilion or dark red.
He was stunned for a moment, and he didn't come back to his senses until he entered the inner courtyard and saw crowds of people in front of him.
My younger sister has always been like this, and she hugs each other when walking around the mansion, which is completely opposite to him.
"Brother, what's wrong with you?"
Tingting, a curly beauty in white clothes, walked lightly with lotus steps.
She is slender and tall, and she has a beautiful face that deceives the world, which makes people feel pitiful.
Only Yin Shuo, who has watched her grow up since childhood, knows how much a lotus root-like heart lies under this lotus-like face.
"Is there something wrong with me?"
Yin Jixie leaned forward, carefully scrutinized his face, and showed a malicious smile.
"Although it's hot during the Dragon Boat Festival, my elder brother won't blush from the heat if he walks in this shady place?"
blush? !
Yin Shuo frowned slightly, subconsciously denying, "I just came back from Guhou's mansion, the driving and horses along the way are naturally hotter than yours in the mansion."
"I don't think my eldest brother is hot, but his heart is moved. Because every time my elder brother tells a lie, he will frown. This can be hidden from others, but can it be hidden from me? Although you and I are not the same mother, but …”
Yin Shuo raised his head and looked at her coldly, his eyes concealed a warning, and at the same time his brows were furrowed even tighter.
This time it was not because of lying, but because of genuine displeasure.
Yin Jixie quickly confessed her mistake, not daring to really provoke Yin Shuo's anger.
"It's Ji Yao who is talking nonsense. Ji Yao and elder brother are siblings of the same mother, and both were born to their mother. Don't be angry, elder brother, Ji Yao will never dare again."
"Go back to your room and do embroidery. The weather is so hot that it's not suitable for a young lady like you to come out and walk around."
Yin Shuo said with a cold face, without any emotion, and Yin Jizheng turned around and walked back in a hurry.
Seeing the group of maids leaving with a whimper, Yin Shuo's expression softened a little, and he couldn't help but think of Yin Jiyi's words just now.
"Amused? It's a joke. I, Yin Shuo, was in my weakest years. How could I be attracted to a twelve-year-old child..."
He was talking to himself, and after speaking, his voice became softer and softer, like a whisper.
