Ci Jinzhi

Chapter 94 Chongyang
Xin You returned to the Shaoqing Mansion and welcomed a very sumptuous dinner.

"Qingqing, grandma has lost weight seeing you, are you too tired these days?"

"Let my grandmother worry about it. I'm not tired, and I just need to tell you what to do."

"That's good. This maw stewed chicken is good, you should eat more." The old lady looked at her granddaughter lovingly.

"Thank you, grandma." Xin You took a sip of chicken soup with downcast eyes, and glanced at Duan Shaoqing who was also drinking chicken soup from the corner of her eye.

If everyone at the table hadn't eaten it, she would have suspected that the chicken soup was poisonous.But now, it can only be classified as being courteous for nothing, rape or steal.

Could it be that seeing the bookstore's business is booming, you want to intervene?
Xin You was secretly wary until the bowls and plates were removed, and the old lady took the tea from the maid and said: "Yuzhu, go and get the things for the girls."

Not long after, Yuzhu came over with a tray.

The old lady smiled and said, "The set of gold collar belongs to Yan'er, and the other three sets of gold bracelets belong to each of you three."

Following the old lady's signal, Yuzhu held up the tray in front of Xinyou and asked her to choose first.

Duan Yunling didn't respond to this, Duan Yunhua couldn't help biting his lip.

The grandmother is becoming more and more eccentric. She is the granddaughter of her own relatives, but Kou Qingqing must be the first to choose jewelry.

Each of the three sets of jewelry includes a flower hairpin, a bracelet, and a pair of earrings. The materials used seem to be similar, but there are some differences in patterns and styles.Xin You picked a set at random and thanked her, and the granddaughters who received the gold jewelry also thanked them one after another.

"I'll be happy if you guys are all dressed up tomorrow. It's getting late, let's all go back and rest."

Back at Wanqingju, Xiao Lian couldn't help muttering: "Girl, why did the old lady suddenly give you jewelry? Do you have any plans for tomorrow?"

"Let's see it tomorrow." For Xin You, as long as she doesn't touch her bookstore, everything else is fine.

The next day, the sky was high and the clouds were light, several carriages stopped at the Chuihuamen.

"Qingqing, sit with grandma." The old lady held out her hand to Xin You.

Xin You helped the old lady get into the front car, Zhu Shi took her daughter into the rear car, and Duan Yunhua and Duan Yunling looked at each other, one with a dark face and the other full of helplessness, got into the third car.

Behind it is where the servant girls will sit.

The carriage started, and the atmosphere in the first three carriages was different.

"There are a lot of people today, so don't run around when you get there, or it will be bad if you had an accident like your cousin." Zhu Shi gently told her daughter.

Duan Yunyan nodded obediently.

Mrs. Zhu took out the cake from the box and handed it to Duan Yunyan, and touched her daughter's bun.

Following in the last carriage, Duan Yunhua and Duan Yunling leaned against each other, and no one spoke for a while.

The sound of squeaking wheels came to my ears, and it was so boring that it was annoying. Duan Yunhua finally couldn't hold back his anger: "Why, it's disappointing not to be able to ride in the same car with Kou Qingqing? It's a pity that he has a grandmother who hurts, and you just want to move forward There is no chance."

Duan Yunling's eyelashes trembled slightly, but said nothing.

Duan Yunhua burst into anger, and his words became more and more impolite: "Duan Yunling, are you dumb?"

He used to be obsequious in front of her, but now he turns a blind eye to her and concentrates on being with Kou Qingqing.

Duan Yunling remained silent.

Duan Yunhua was furious all of a sudden, and stretched out his hand to twist Duan Yunling's arm.

A hand stretched out, grasping the outstretched hand firmly.

"you--"

Duan Yunling looked at those stunned eyes, and asked coldly: "Second sister still wants to beat me?"

"You think I dare not?" Duan Yunhua trembled with anger.

"And then? Will I be locked up by my grandmother again?"

Duan Yunhua froze, lowered his voice and asked coldly: "You think you are Kou Qingqing, and grandma will make decisions for you?"

Duan Yunling looked at Duan Yunhua with pity: "I am me, the same as before. What about the second sister, do you still think she is the former second girl? Grandma will not make decisions for me, but she won't make decisions for you either. Let's lock up together."

Duan Yunling's words hit Duan Yunhua's heart like a heavy hammer, making her unable to react for a while.

Duan Yunling pushed away Duan Yunhua's hand and raised the curtains of the car.

The late autumn wind blew in, sweeping away the restlessness, and the girl showed a relaxed smile.

In the carriage at the front, the old lady had a smile on her face all the time: "Qingqing, you are still living at home today, don't worry about it, your cousin and the others will be back from vacation tomorrow."

"Okay." Xin You obediently agreed.

The old lady asked some more about the bookstore, leaned against the carriage and closed her eyes to rest.

Like Duan Yunling, Xinyou lifted the curtains of the car.

The autumn wind blows all over the face, refreshing, and there is the sound of horseshoes.

Not long after, a young man rode past.

The bay red horse kicked up smoke and dust, and the young man on the horse was extremely reckless.Xin You immediately recognized that it was Dai Ze, the son of Uncle Gu Chang.

Dai Ze didn't study in the Imperial College, so it's very likely that he will go out for an autumn walk today, which is why Xin You is willing to join in the fun.

Maybe apart from Dai Ze, he might be able to meet other people in Guchangbo's mansion.

After this thought flashed by, the sound of horseshoes approached again.

Xin You glanced back and saw a burly man riding on the horse.

She also recognized this person at a glance, it was Dai Ze's father Gu Changbo.

Although the bookstore is busy these days, Xin You patiently figured out the faces of the key figures in Gu Changbo's mansion, and Gu Changbo is undoubtedly the first.

Without thinking too much, Xin You immediately took out a stone from her purse, and skillfully shot it at the horse.

The horse that was running suddenly suffered from pain, and suddenly raised its front hooves, and saw Gu Changbo leaning against the horse's back, and found that the horse was out of control, turned over and jumped off decisively.

The horse ran forward, and Gu Changbo, who jumped off the horse, stood up with one hand on his hands, and brushed the dust off his body with a sullen face.

Because of this accident, the driver of the carriage that Xinyou was riding in pulled the reins to avoid the side of the road and stopped, and the carriage behind him also stopped.

The old lady opened her eyes: "What's wrong?"

Xin You poked her head out and looked out, showing the little girl's curiosity: "Someone's horse was startled, and that person jumped off the horse."

She learned from He Qingxiao that Gu Changbo followed Jinshang to conquer the world, and his martial arts were outstanding.With the lesson of failing to assassinate He Qingxiao first, she can't act rashly, and find an opportunity to try Gu Changbo's skills.

I didn't expect to meet by chance today, the opportunity came so quickly.And the result of the test has verified He Qingxiao's words.

In this way, we will be more cautious in the future.

When the old lady heard that someone was startling her horse, she also looked out of the car window, and she recognized Gu Changbo.

"Qingqing, help me out."

Xinyou's face remained calm, but anticipation rose in her heart.

Could it be that Shaoqing's Mansion is related to Guchangbo's Mansion?

The old lady got out of the carriage and walked towards Uncle Guchang.

"Uncle, do you need help?"

Gu Changbo glanced at the old lady, but he didn't recognize her.
