Chu Jihan silently put down the tea cup. In order to avoid anything damaging to his image, he would not drink tea in front of people who could read his mind.
The other party looked at him with a weird look on his face, which made Chu Jihan feel a little uncomfortable. He coughed and said, "Well, if brother is busy and doesn't have time to help me pick one or two, then you might as well tell me that the jade is for you." What kind of kid is that?"
Su Ningxin immediately came back to her senses, "No matter what the prince said, I am still willing to do my best for this small job."
[They will threaten me! Alas, it will be too much trouble to climb over the wall tomorrow.]
Climb the wall? Why did he want to climb over the wall? Chu Jihan had deep doubts in his heart, but he didn't think about it for too long. Then he asked Su Ningxin, "Don't you know your surname?"
"My surname is Gu, and my single name is the word "burn"." Su Ningxin said casually, not because he chose the name deliberately, but because he used to use this name when he disguised himself as a man.
She had just joined the secret guard at that time, and often followed her boss Gu Mingxi in cockfights and horse racing in the capital. She had lived a carefree life, which was probably the same as Shuangbai and herself now, so she got her name and followed suit. Her last name is Gu.
Chu Jihan had various speculations in his mind. If there were people with the Gu surname in the capital, the most famous one was King Pingnan, the only king with a different surname in Daqi. He thought that Gu Ran was the emperor he met outside the palace of King Pingnan not long ago. , then he is indeed probably from Pingnan Palace.
The eldest son of Pingnan Palace had a very good relationship with the emperor when he was still the fifth prince. If Gu Ran was from the palace, it would make sense for him to be acquainted with the emperor.
Afterwards, Chu Jihan tried various methods to induce Su Ningxin to think about her identity and where she lived, but unfortunately they all found nothing. When they separated, Su Ningxin and Chu Jihan agreed on a place to meet tomorrow, and Su Ningxin turned around again the next day. Qiang came out to accompany Chu Jihan to visit the jewelry store.
Su Ningxin was reluctant at first, but then she thought about it, not all the jewelry bought by Chu Jihan were sent to her as a gift, so she just treated it as a gift for herself.
Chu Jihan watched as Gu Ran took him all over the famous silver building in the capital as if he was suddenly hit with blood. He was forced to follow behind to pay. When he went home at night, Chu Jihan even suspected that his legs were not My own.
The most hateful thing is that all day long Gu Ran could only think about this good-looking one and this poor workmanship, and he didn't get any useful information at all.
A few days later, Su Ningxin got up in the morning and was sitting in front of the dressing table dressing up. Shuangbai walked in with a cup of tea. Behind the tea cup, she whispered in Su Ningxin's ear,
"The fourth master's affairs have been found out. The aunt he raised is the daughter of a small merchant family in the capital. The fiancé he had been engaged to since childhood died, so he kept watch over the family. Later, for some reason, the fourth master took a fancy to him and raised him in the house. In that small courtyard.”
Su Ningxin was not interested in whether the Fourth Master Su had a wife, but she was very interested in him raising a wife during the period of filial piety. Now the entire Marquis Mansion was closed, and even the official positions of the Marquis of Xuanning and Master Su were Ding You stopped going. If he sneaked into the outer room at this time and was caught by someone, it would be a big trouble for the Hou Mansion.
Shuangbai saw that Su Ningxin was thinking, so she waited. Then Su Ningxin looked at her, and then she continued, "And the outsider is already pregnant. She has just been diagnosed by the doctor for a month."
Hearing this, Su Ningxin showed an expression as if she had seen a ghost. She was really afraid of what might happen. It had been two months since the funeral of her ancestor, but the fourth master Su's wife was one month pregnant. If something happened, After going out, even if the Hou Mansion has the words, it can't be explained clearly. The filial piety period is close to women's sex, and it may be spread outside what it will be like.
Su Ningxin rubbed her temples with her hands. When choosing Xuanning Houfu, she still valued the integrity of his family. Unexpectedly, it was not easy for people to worry about. Now she only has two maids and a nanny around her. There is no manpower to do it. What, we can only borrow the power of others.
"I'm going to say a few words in front of the old lady later to see if I can make the old lady notice someone sneaking out."
Shuanghua, who was combing Su Ningxin's hair, said, "Girl, didn't I catch a little maid with dirty hands and feet in the yard the day before yesterday? Can we use her to make a fuss?"
Su Ningxin nodded, "That's okay. It's said that the little maid stole the jewelry and sold it. People coming in and out of the mansion will definitely be strictly investigated. Master Su Fourth's departure from the mansion will definitely not be hidden."
"By the way, what did she steal?" Su Ningxin suddenly turned around and asked. She and Chu Jihan went to buy jade jewelry that day. She didn't know what happened, "Hiss..." because she suddenly turned her head and pulled her hair. , Su Ningxin hissed lowly.
"Girl, be careful," Shuanghua hurriedly helped Su Ningxin rub her sore scalp, and then said, "She took a few Shuangbai hairpin rings. Shuangbai doesn't like to wear jewelry, so she usually just leaves them in the room. , she found an opportunity to take it secretly, and Xiao An bumped into it."
Su Ningxin casually took out a red coral bracelet from the jewelry box and gave it to Shuangbai, "Shuangbai, take that maid to the eldest lady's yard and say that the little maid stole your hairpin ring and sold it. Now You are even more daring and want to steal my steps."
Shuangbai has never been fond of buying jewelry. Those hairpin rings are probably the ones brought from the palace. Although no one should notice, it would be bad if someone sees it, so it is just right to hold on to this newly bought coral and shake it. It's so valuable that it deserves a thorough investigation by the Hou Mansion.
Shuangbai took Bu Yao and turned around. After all, he had stayed in the palace for two years. Shuangbai could still handle such a small matter, but Su Ningxin wasn't worried about it.
Su Ningxin had some steamed dumplings for breakfast. As soon as she finished eating, the little maid came back to report to the eldest lady, who sent the maid over. Su Ningxin and Shuang Hua in the room looked at each other with incredible expressions in their eyes. Could it be that this Shuangbai can also be destroyed
"Let her come in and answer." Su Ningxin put down the tea cup and said.
Soon the eldest lady's maid came in, not because of the white frost, but because someone from Prince An's palace came to deliver the betrothal gift, and asked Su Ningxin to come over and meet someone.
Taking Shuanghua into the flower hall where the eldest lady was entertaining guests, Su Ningxin saw Shuangbai standing behind the eldest lady winking at her as soon as she entered.
[What happened to the eyes? It's like having a cramp. Unless you pull out a Morse code, I can't understand it.]
With this thought in her mind, Su Ningxin had already stepped forward to greet the elders. It was her first time meeting Prince An and his wife, but she could recognize them. After all, she had had portraits of important figures in the royal family before.
After giving gifts to her elders, she successfully received the jade bracelet given to her by Princess Anjun as a greeting gift. When she turned around, she saw Chu Jihan sitting below, suppressing a smile, and playing with the red coral Bu Yao in his hand.
[Now I know what Shuangbai wants to express.]
