Exquisite ingenuity

Chapter 232

For example, last night she just helped her grandfather back to Tai'an Courtyard, and his grandfather rewarded her with five taels of silver.

Five taels!That was her full five months' monthly money!No wonder Zhao Jinyi runs outside every day. Now that he has money, can he control not to spend it?

After getting the money, she coquettishly said that she wanted to embroider the fan and wanted to go to the street. No, Manager Hu sent his servants early in the morning to carry her out in a small sedan chair.Although it was only a small sedan chair, Zhao Jinqing was already content.

Looking at the bustling street selling all kinds of gadgets, Zhao Jinqing smiled like a flower.In the future, when she marries Xiao Yang and acquires the wealth of the Xiao family, not to mention these little gadgets that people can't put down, even this street, she can buy it.

Of course, today she is not only buying silk thread as an excuse, the most important thing is to meet the mysterious man.

The mysterious man said that as long as she could enter the silk thread shop in Wangpo Alley, he would come to see her.

The spring is bright and beautiful, Zhao Jinqing wears a mask, and with the support of the little maid Cuixia, she enters the silk thread shop in Wangpo Alley with great poise.

There are quite a lot of people in the shop, although there are several women who sell silk thread, they are still too busy.

Although it was agreed to meet here, the mysterious person did not say what the secret code for the meeting was.

Zhao Jinqing picked out the thread absently, because she had something on her mind, so naturally she couldn't pick it out.A lady selling silk thread smiled, and pulled Zhao Jinqing into another hut: "I can see that the lady is an expert, so she must be very good at picking silk thread."

The lady moved very fast, and Cuixia couldn't keep up for a while, and when she rushed to the hut, Zhao Jinqing had already sat down: "Cuixia, I'm thirsty, go to the water seller outside and buy me a bowl of water." .”

Cuixia is just a ten-year-old maid, who was bought by the Huang family after Zhao Jinqing became favored, to serve Zhao Jinqing.

Cuixia hurried to go.

The silk thread lady in the room was full of smiles: "Fifth girl, wait a moment, the master will come right away."

After saying that, Miss Sixian lifted the curtain and went to the back door. After a while, it was the mysterious person who opened the curtain again.

When Cuixia came back with water, Zhao Jinqing had already picked out the silk thread, paid for it, drank the water and looked at the fans in the shop for consignment before leaving reluctantly.

The fifth girl behaved well, and when she said that she was buying silk thread, she was just buying silk thread. She only bought a snack from Baiweiju on the way, called peach blossom crisp, and took it to grandfather Zhao Qing.

It was a coincidence that this peach blossom cake was actually my aunt's favorite snack back then.

Grandfather Zhao Qing looked at the Peach Blossom Cake and rewarded Zhao Jinqing with a pair of gold bracelets.

Zhao Jinqing couldn't help but secretly felt that the mysterious person would only benefit him but not harm him.

She won the gold bracelet but didn't leave, so she asked Cuixia to go back to her room to bring embroidery stretchers, baskets of scissors, etc., and she had to stay in Tai'an Courtyard while she embroidered fans and accompanied her grandfather.

When Zhao Jinyi came, he saw Zhao Jinqing embroidering with his head bowed while chatting amusingly with his grandfather.

She raised her eyebrows and glanced at Manager Hu.Guanshi Hu still kept his eyes on his nose, his nose and his heart, with his waist slightly arched, as motionless as a statue.

"Grandfather, granddaughter has something to say to you alone." Zhao Jinyi pointed it out.

When Zhao Jinqing heard this, he immediately showed a look of fear: "Fourth sister, my sister will leave now."

Zhao Qingcai ate the peach blossom crisps, and when he saw this, he was naturally protective of Zhao Jinqing: "If there is anything you can't say in front of your fifth sister."

Grandpa became more and more confused.

Zhao Jinyi frowned, looking at Zhao Jinqing timidly showing a flattering smile.

Zhao Qing felt even more distressed: "Si girl, did I spoil you too much? When you look at you, you actually scared your sister into such a state."

Zhao Jinyi was depressed. Ever since Zhao Jinqing used the excuse of dreaming about his aunt, his grandfather had become more and more partial to Zhao Jinqing.

She had no choice but to say: "Grandfather, my granddaughter has investigated the fact that Fifth Sister dreamed of her aunt, but it is nothing but a mysterious man wearing a mask who told Fifth Sister what happened to Aunt before her death..."

The expression on Zhao Jinqing's face became more and more frightened.

Zhao Qing said impatiently: "Si girl, do you have evidence for what you said?"

Zhao Jinyi said: "My granddaughter is ashamed to let that mysterious person run away..."

Zhao Qing stared: "There is no evidence, why is there no evidence. You go, you go, I have five filial girls now, so there is no need for you to come."

Zhao Jinyi looked at his grandfather in astonishment, only to see that he turned his face away, as if he didn't want to see her again.

Zhao Jinyi had no choice but to resign. When passing Guanshi Hu, she lowered her voice and said, "Guanshi Hu, come out with me."

Manager Hu came out with her, and said, "Fourth Miss, please forgive me for not telling the old man what happened outside."

Zhao Jinyi raised his eyebrows: "Why is this? If you don't tell your grandfather about your eldest sister, how can your eldest sister reconcile with Shen Ping happily? And how will she marry into the Kong family?"

Guanshi Hu's expression remained unchanged: "The eldest aunt is the eldest wife's own flesh and blood. If the eldest aunt can leave the Shen family and marry into the Kong family, the eldest wife may be overjoyed, so naturally she will do her best to facilitate this."

Zhao Jinyi looked at Guanshi Hu, and couldn't help but say something for a while.Obviously in the small courtyard that night, Manager Hu promised well.

Manager Hu said again: "If the fourth girl is afraid of the old man's interference, there is no need to worry about it. Now the old man's attention is all on the fifth girl, and he only hopes that the fifth girl will talk to him about Miss Chengjiao every day. Anyway, Kong Zhao Both families are going to get married, and it doesn't matter whether it's the eldest aunt or the fourth girl."

Zhao Jinyi's mouth twitched, and he looked at Guanshi Hu: "Grandpa's current appearance is the sequelae of a stroke? In fact, grandfather has gradually forgotten the present person, and only remembers the past twenty years ago?"

Manager Hu hesitated for a while, then nodded indiscernibly: "Miss Si is very knowledgeable, old man, it is the symptom that Miss Si said."

Zhao Jinyi gritted his teeth: "What does Wang Yigong say?"

Guanshi Hu shook his head: "There is no cure."

Zhao Jinyi stared at him closely: "Guard Hu, what happened twenty years ago? How did Aunt Chengjiao die? Why did my grandfather not pursue someone who stole my aunt's portrait? Why did my grandfather treat Su Bo? So disgusting? Why did the third uncle conspire with King Zhong to kill me, but grandfather kept covering it up again and again?"

Her questions were sent out like cannonballs, but what she got was Guanshi Hu took a deep breath, and then was silent for a moment: "Miss Si, I'm sorry. Unless the old lady orders, otherwise the old slave will die, and I can't treat you right." The fourth girl said."

"Then I'll investigate!" Zhao Jinyi was a little angry, his little face was flushed with anger.Her voice was still hoarse, and when she said this, her hoarseness made people feel distressed.

Manager Hu quickly responded, "It will be of no benefit to anyone if we continue to investigate this matter. Miss Si, please stop."

Zhao Jinyi looked at Guanshi Hu stubbornly, his eyes suddenly turned red.The sun was shining brightly, but she just felt cold: "So all these years, it's all an illusion that my grandfather doted on me?"

Manager Hu twitched his lips, but was finally speechless.

"He wants me to find a son-in-law, and wants me to marry anyone, but not Song Jingxing. The third sister has a good relationship with Su Bo's granddaughter, and he didn't stop him. He repeatedly objected to my marriage with Song Jingxing..."

Zhao Jinyi approached Guanshi Hu step by step: "Could it be that the Song and Zhao families have great hatred?"

Hu Guanshi took a step back.

Zhao Jinyi smiled suddenly: "Sorry, Manager Hu, I lost my composure." She narrowed her eyes, turned her head and walked away, "Please tell my grandfather that my marriage with Song Jingxing will not change."
