Because the matter was of great importance, at the end of the discussion, Lian Chen still did not agree with Lian Ding's suggestion, and decided to think of another way - loyalty and loyalty to the world, which is very desirable for young people like Lian Ding, and for Lian Chen This kind of master who has matured into a master can be regarded as a floating cloud.
Lian Chen had seen Qiu Feng and couldn't believe him; Qiu Yilan, who still felt that Ruan Qingyan's origins were suspicious, was even more unwilling to take risks easily.
"Have you heard of this autumn wind?" Qiu Yilan asked Chun Ran and Xia Ran on the way back to the Xihe Palace.
The two nodded together: "Although Tiema Qiuxia only appeared in the past two years, he became famous very quickly and had a great reputation. It is said that the governor of Jiaozhou wanted to recruit him, but he gave up because he could not find out his details and could not meet him. of."
"What about the accent? Didn't you say that the accents of the ten miles south are different?" Qiu Yilan frowned slightly. If Lian Chen said that the origin of the autumn wind was unknown, she would still be skeptical. Even the dignified governor could not find out the details of this person. Then the origin was not only Just being unclear can be said to be suspicious - unless there is a war-torn era when there is a change of dynasties, the government's power must be the largest and most comprehensive.
Xia Ran said: "But what they speak is authentic Mandarin."
"..." Qiu Yilan was speechless.
Chunran suggested: "Why don't you go back to the General's Mansion and ask the young master? When the young master was in the south, he had a relatively wide circle of friends. He knew people from all walks of life, and he might know some private information."
"My cousin is recovering from his injuries now. Besides, the palace examination is on March 15th, so don't let him be distracted." Qiu Yilan shook her head, "No matter how much the dowry is, how can it compare with my cousin's future?"
Su He couldn't help but ask: "Can you ask General Jiang for help?"
"If the Jiang family takes action, I'm afraid Queen Mother Gu won't sit back and watch." Qiu Yilan still shook her head, "Besides, I just lost his cat in the first place, and he has long since repaid the favor."
That's what they said - that night, after Su He and the others were settled, Qiu Yilan quietly got up, changed into neat dark clothes, climbed out the back window and went straight to the wall adjacent to the Jiang family courtyard...
After a while, she hid in a room in the Jiang family's annex, caressing her breasts and exclaimed: "It's just an annex. Even if there are dignitaries living there, how can it be so tightly guarded? Fortunately, the zombies in the previous life were smarter than these masters. ... Huh... I was almost discovered just now... I'm so weak now!"
Wiping away cold sweat, Qiu Yilan felt in a dilemma: "I forgot that I don't know where Jiang Yashuang lives. This courtyard is too big! If I continue to search, if I miss it... I won't just kill him like in my previous life. "Go back, all your efforts will be wasted..."
While weighing, he suddenly heard footsteps coming from the corridor outside, and then a girl let out a light sigh and called out crisply: "Jiang Tan!"
Qiu Yilan couldn't help but feel refreshed! Isn't Jiang Tan Jiang Yashuang's confidant
Sure enough, Jiang Tan's voice came to greet the girl in the court, calling the girl "Miss He". He could hear that he was surprised: "Miss, you haven't gone to bed yet? But you are not used to the bed?"
"I don't choose these things." The girl's voice was sweet and refreshing, but she said with a sharp energy, "After I resigned from the old lady just now, I went to talk to Sister Qizheng before I went back! Why are you here so late?"
"The Nineteenth Young Master's usual Xixiang ink is gone. I haven't finished practicing the calligraphy I taught you today, so while I'm practicing swordsmanship, I asked the younger one to go to the warehouse to get some." Jiang Tan explained, "The younger one is about to Send it over."
The lady and the lady said: "Oh, wait a minute...forget it, you can ask Cai Qi or Cai Ying to come over tomorrow. I left Beijing this time and got a few square meters of good ink. I'll give it to Nineteen to try." "Obviously she wanted Jiang Tan to take it to Jiang Yashuang on the way, but then she thought it was too late for Jiang Tan to have a servant come to her place, so she changed her mind.
Jiang Tan responded with a smile and said: "The Nineteenth Young Master just said that when Miss He comes back, there will definitely be something for him."
"I'm over the age of my hair, but I'm still the same as when I was a child. When I saw me coming, I was thinking about what to bring him?" Miss Nahe smiled, "You go back and tell him, so that he won't have to guess and write. If he doesn't concentrate, the old man will find out and punish him to rewrite."
After Jiang Tan resigned and the young lady and his group had gone far away, Qiu Yilan hurriedly stepped out of the house and chased after Jiang Tan.
Following Jiang Tan, she successfully arrived at a private courtyard near the lake.
Before he entered, he heard the whistling sound of a sword cutting through the air.
Qiu Yilan thought for a moment, then walked around to the back of the courtyard and climbed in. Entering the courtyard, the sound of the sword cutting through the air became clearer. She peeked out from the darkness in the corner and saw the long sword in Jiang Yashuang's hand dancing into a ball of silver light in the courtyard, with a posture that was impervious to water - Jiang Tan was not there. He must have gone to the study to put some ink. Two maids in colorful clothes were standing in the corridor. They were probably Caiqi and Caiying whom the young lady had mentioned.
"I don't know how long he has to practice? Well, just now Jiang Tan said that he hasn't practiced calligraphy yet, so he should go to the study room." Qiu Yilan retracted her head.
The yard was only so big, but the study was easy to find. After a while, Qiu Yilan got into a room full of books.
At this time, Jiang Tan had already put Mo on the table and left. She found a corner to hide in the dark, started to wait, and made plans to persuade Jiang Yashuang to help her out.
After a while...
"Why aren't you here yet? It's already midnight, and Darui didn't take the martial arts exam. Why are you working so hard?"
After a while...
"There is no sound in the yard. Why is there still no one there? Could it be that he has more than one study room?! Where is the other study room?"
Continued for a while...
"No! There must be something wrong with not coming here for so long. I will fall asleep if I wait here any longer... Go out and look for it!"
Qiu Yilan tiptoed out of the door, took a look around, and saw a room with lights on. The lights illuminated the outline of the bookshelf. The corner of her mouth twitched: "There are really two study rooms..."
However, when she sneaked in through the back window, she discovered that Jiang Yashuang was not here either—but a three-in-one rosewood bed not far from the bookshelf made her realize: This should not be a study, but a bedroom...
Seeing this bed, Qiu Yilan thought of the several times she and Jiang Yashuang were blocked together: "It's so ominous, I'd better leave quickly!"
She carefully walked out of the bedroom. There was a cubicle outside, with no lights on... The point is, she bumped into someone while walking!
The man's reaction was astonishing, and he quickly reached out to cover her mouth!
The next moment, Qiu Yilan bent her knees and slammed into his a**!
At the same time, he raised his two fingers together like a halberd, poking at the man's eyes!
It's just that the attacks from up and down haven't worked yet. The man seemed to have heard something wrong. He grabbed her wrist with his other hand and pressed her pulse gently. Qiu Yilan's whole body suddenly became weak and she almost collapsed. In his arms, Jiang Yashuang's voice said with helplessness: "I'd better take a shower at the back. I found you in my bedroom. I wanted to put on my robe here before going in..."
... The two of them were very close at this time. Needless to say, Qiu Yilan also felt a strand of long hair brushing her cheek with a wet feeling.
"... I'm sorry!" Qiu Yilan secretly vomited a mouthful of blood and whispered. Why did she forget to take a shower after practicing the sword
Jiang Yashuang let go of her hand and coughed dryly: "You... go in first, I haven't tied my robe yet..."
Apparently he felt something was wrong and used his hands just now because he had to hold on to his robe.
Qiu Yilan walked back to the bedroom, and a moment later, Jiang Yashuang, who had a face as beautiful as jade but was now glowing with a faint crimson color, walked in.
He had just come out of the bath, and his waist-length black hair had not been completely dried, and was spread over his shoulders with a clear sense of moisture. Under the light, it was as smooth as silk. The snow-white middle coat was exposed from the dark green peacock-shaped wide-sleeved skirt, which made his already handsome features look as clear as the empty mountains after the rain. There was a wry smile hanging on the corners of his slightly pursed lips. - But seeing Qiu Yilan lowering her head and looking timid, she wanted to say something but just shook her head and sighed: "Sit down and talk."
"I'm so sorry just now." Qiu Yilan looked sad and remorseful, and her attitude of admitting her mistake was very upright and good.
It was probably not once or twice that he had encountered embarrassing things when he met her. Jiang Yashuang's face was tender and she was used to it, so she said helplessly: "It's just an accident. You don't know that I'm out there... What's wrong with you?" "
"... I would like to ask my uncle to help me tell my uncle about the dowry of my grandmother and mother-in-law." Qiu Yilan was not in the mood to talk now, and said straightforwardly, "But I don't have a dowry list. The one kept by the Lian family The copy is in Lanxi, and my uncle is a little worried about whether he can send it over. "
She slapped two banknotes neatly and said, "No matter whether things work out or not, this is just a small token of my gratitude." Although from Jiang Yashuang's attitude after discovering that she had sneaked into her bedroom privately, it can be seen that this young general Jiang is very well-educated. - But if you always turn to him when trouble comes, it would be shameful to be empty-handed every time - What do you mean by that sentence? Relationships of interest are the longest lasting!
Jiang Yashuang glanced at the banknote, but confiscated it, and asked calmly: "Who are Fan's mother and Xiuyan's master?"
Qiu Yilan was startled for a moment before she remembered how he knew. She couldn't help but glance at him. Jiang Yashuang subconsciously turned her head and coughed dryly: "I just remembered it when I heard it that day."
"It's my aunt Qiu Yuqing, and my aunt Princess Yang." Qiu Yilan was afraid that he would not be able to get off the stage, so she hurriedly sat up straight and looked away.
Jiang Yashuang muttered: "I do have some manpower, but... they are all being watched by the Queen Mother."
"My uncle's cousin recommended a person, which sounds very good, but I don't know the details." Qiu Yilan knew that he was telling the truth - the two empresses are currently temporarily in a truce, and it is very possible that they The battlefield has returned to the palace, so even if the Xihe Palace knows about the Lian family's dowry list, if they want to take action, they will probably only use the palace's power.
But Jiang Yashuang's move caused Queen Mother Gu to misunderstand... In Qiu Yilan's plan, she quietly asked Qiu Mengmin to spit out the two dowries, but she didn't want to make the whole city uproar like the incident with Mrs. Lu. .
So I decided to do the next best thing and said, "I think the Jiang family has a wide range of eyes and ears and a lot of information, so I'll ask you about it."
Jiang Yashuang nodded: "You say."
"It's a knight from the south named Qiu Feng." Before Qiu Yilan finished speaking, Jiang Yashuang shook his head: "I have never heard of this person."
He thought for a while and said, "Tomorrow I will send someone back to the Duke of Qin's Mansion to ask. Maybe someone there knows."
Speaking of this, he suddenly said, "Actually, if you don't believe this Qiu Feng, there is still a way to successfully get that order to Beijing."
Qiu Yilan hurriedly asked: "What method?"
"Tell someone to take this to the north of the city." Jiang Yashuang walked to the bookshelf, took out a bluestone token, and said a place, "That is a stronghold of 'Tianya'."
He explained, "Although Tianya specializes in assassinations, they are willing to take on other jobs as long as the pay is decent. Their reputation has always been good. As long as they accept the order, they will definitely complete it!"
Seeing Qiu Yilan's hesitant look, Jiang Yashuang whispered: "The people in charge of them are very shrewd. The court secretly killed them several times but to no avail... Of course, this is also because, sometimes, they are very useful."
