Chapter 6 Gu Changyuan's Secret Design

"Girl, Xue Guogong's mansion handed over a post, saying that the day after tomorrow"

While talking, Qixi opened the curtain and entered the room, and saw Lin Yu half lying on the couch, already asleep, with the account book in his hand left aside.

The noon light reflected on Lin Yu's hair along the window, covering it with a thin layer of light. Qixi put the post on the table, took a soft quilt to cover her, and when it fell on her body, Lin Yu open your eyes.

"what happened?"

Qixi withdrew her hand, "Girl, it's a post from Xue Guogong's mansion. The next day Xue Shizi and Xue Ergongzi return to Beijing, and the eldest princess is going to host a banquet. The old lady and the girl are invited to come over."

Lin Yu took a sip of water, picked up the post on the table and looked at it, "Didn't it say that it will take more than ten days? How come so soon?"

Qi Xi shook her head, "This servant doesn't know either, maybe the pace is coming sooner."

After hearing this, Lin Yu said nothing, picked up the account book on the side and read it again, remembering what he ordered:
"I remember that there is a half-person-high coral tree in the mansion. Go and ask your grandmother if you can take it as a gift to Xue Guogong's mansion."

Qixi nodded in agreement, and then asked: "Girl, what about the fourth girl? Do you want to let her out?"

After all, the fourth girl and the son of Xue Guogong's mansion are engaged. Now that Xue Shizi comes back, it may not be good for the fourth girl to not be present as a fiancee, but the fourth girl's appearance
Lin Yu was silent for a moment, "No rush, isn't there still two days left?"

From Lin Baozhu's attitude, she could tell that the marriage with Xue's family was going to be ruined, but she was always thinking about how to withdraw from the marriage would be more appropriate, after all, the identity of the eldest princess was there. It is not easy to return.

Before Qixi went out, Lin Yu asked again, "Is there any movement on the side of Yunjin and Baozhu?"

Qixi turned her head, "Second Young Master is recovering from his injuries. Before leaving the yard, Aunt Feng and Fifth Young Master went to visit. They stayed for a stick of incense before leaving."

"The fourth girl went to the second room and the third girl early in the morning. According to the nurse who took care of it, the two seemed to be having an unpleasant fight."

"Lin Xiangxiang?"

Lin Yu frowned slightly, and couldn't help but think again that in the dream, the Lin family was ransacked and beheaded. Except for Lin Baozhu, Lin Xiangxiang didn't seem to be at the execution ground either. Where is she?

Qixi stood at the door, "Miss, do you want your servant to call the third girl over?"

Even if the girl is annoyed by the fourth girl, she will not allow others to bully her, especially the third girl is still a concubine, so she dares to go to the fourth girl to make her unhappy.

Lin Yu shook his head, "You go to grandma first, just keep people staring at the ancestral hall, and don't let Hua Nie make any more troubles before she comes back."

In Qingyun Lane, a middle-aged woman looked at the tall and tall man beside her, and her face was wrinkled with a smile.

"I said Mr. Gu, Zhuangyuanlang, this courtyard was vacated only yesterday. It is transparent from the north to the south, and it is only a few steps away from Chang'an Street. It extends in all directions. Thirty-six thousand taels of silver is already very cheap. Do you want it? A lot of people are lining up!"

Hearing the middle-aged woman's words, Gu Changyuan's hands in his sleeves tightened a little. The yard is indeed good, the location is good, and it's not expensive, but...he doesn't have that much money on hand.

The middle-aged woman saw that Gu Changyuan hadn't spoken for a long time, the contempt in her eyes was obvious, but she held back, "There is a small courtyard with a second entrance across the three streets, it's cheap, only 8000 taels of silver, how about Mr. Gu, go and have a look? "

Gu Changyuan's face turned ugly, and he hated the Lin family completely. If it wasn't for the Lin family, why would he be so hard-pressed that he couldn't even afford a yard.

"No need, this yard is reserved for me, and I will pay you in three days."

The middle-aged woman rolled her eyes, "That's fine, I won't wait for someone else, but since he is the number one scholar, he will not lie to me a little woman, so I will help you stay for another three days."

Gu Changyuan left with an ugly expression, and when he reached the entrance of the alley, an old man with gray hair came over, his voice lowered.

"Young master, the second son of the Lin family recently sent someone to check your details, and I heard that you have gone to Shunnan County."

Hearing this, Gu Changyuan's expression changed a few times, and he immediately hummed, "Isn't Shunnan County already ready? Let him check it out, what else can we find out?"

The old man nodded, "I've already taken care of it, but this old slave thinks that the Lin family is so vigilant towards the young master, it's hard to guarantee that bad things will happen in the future, otherwise, we should think about the matter between you and the fourth girl of the Lin family?"

"Considering what?"

Gu Changyuan's eyes were gloomy, "Lin Yu and Lin Yunjin are both difficult things to deal with, and Lin Xiangxiang is just a concubine, the only one who can break it is that idiot Lin Baozhu."

"Now is the time when she trusts me. If she withdraws now, it will be even more difficult to get close to the Lin family in the future."

After thinking for a long time, Gu Changyuan looked at the old man, "I heard that the son of Xue Guogong's mansion is coming back in a few days, is it true?"

The old man nodded, "It is said that I will come back in the future, and the eldest princess has sent a post to invite everyone to attend the banquet."

Gu Changyuan rubbed his fingers, pondered for a moment and said, "The day after tomorrow? If I remember correctly, the number one scholar will parade in the day after tomorrow."

Mentioning this, the old man was full of joy, "Yes, my lord, the Ministry of Rites has already delivered your parade clothes. When the time comes, you will be in the limelight, my lord."

Gu Changyuan was also happy, but he was not happy because of the parade of champions, but because he was going to surprise the Lin family and Xue family that day, hoping they would like it.

The next afternoon, when Lin Yu came back from checking the shop outside, a woman came over and said that Lin Baozhu wanted to see her.

Lin Yu was stunned for a moment, "She wants to see me?"

The mother-in-law knelt on the ground and handed over a stack of papers in her hand, then nodded, "This is the family instruction that the fourth girl copied twice. She said she knew she was wrong and wanted to see the eldest girl. Tomorrow and tomorrow, the banquet at Duke Xue's mansion. She wants to go."

Hearing this, Lin Yu didn't understand anything. He only glanced at the family motto copied next to him. The handwriting was scribbled, obviously for the sake of perfunctory. He wanted to go to Xue Guogong's mansion for a banquet. What did he want to do?
After thinking about it, Lin Yu finally nodded and said: "The reception banquet will be tomorrow afternoon, let her out in the morning, and copy the family instructions again tonight, and ask her to write neatly, and rewrite it if it is so sloppy. "

After the mother-in-law agreed, she quickly went back to the ancestral hall, and Qi Xi couldn't help but said: "Young lady really wants to let fourth young lady go, just in case"

Lin Yu's eyes were cold, "If she really wants to do something at the banquet at Duke Xue's mansion, regardless of the face of the Lin family, then I will give up on her completely."

She never wanted to believe that the younger sister she brought up with her own hands would be the kind of person in her dreams.

So just taking advantage of the banquet hosted by Xue Guogong's mansion this time, she wanted to see how far her brain-damaged sister would go for Gu Changyuan.
