You are back

Chapter 106 The Unknown Things

"Mama Su said, I deserve the slap I received." Li Yan's voice was low.

Yushu was indignant, "What should you mean? The young lady is responsible for important things, how can these broken rules be applied to the young lady?"

Li Yan let out a groan, "Your eldest lady...is me, doing big things? What big things? Settling the country and Anbang?"

"Yes." Yushu replied confidently.

Li Yan laughed halfway, and was stunned. Looking at Yushu, he was stunned.

Maybe what Yushu said is true...

Miss Wu Jiu and her concubine Miss Twelve left the Li Mansion, Miss Wu Twelve's car went back to the Wu Mansion, but Miss Wu Jiu's car turned around and went in the direction of Jinzhong.

After Miss Wu Jiu drank half a cup of tea in the outer hall, the palace servants came out and invited her in.

Empress Wu was leaning on the kang, looking a little tired, "Sit down, why are you leaving so early?"

"The two masters of the Pei family left first, Madam Yuan said goodbye, and they all left." Miss Wu Jiu answered very concisely, "Little Twelve's girl said that she heard the mother-in-law come to invite the new comer Miss, said that Master Qi asked her to pass on the message, and Master Pei Shiqi wants to see her."

"He's gone?" Queen Wu straightened up, and Miss Wu Jiu nodded, "He's gone. I've been watching carefully. It didn't take long, only about two-quarters of an hour."

"It's really presumptuous." Empress Wu leaned back, "What else is there? Let me tell you, how are the members of the Li family? If my sister is sensible, I can't say anything else."

"In front of my aunt, who dares to be ignorant?" Miss Wu Jiu pulled the corners of her mouth downwards, "If my sister is okay, her family's... Now that she is the third sister, she looks a bit ugly..."

Miss Wu Jiu spoke carefully about everyone's words and deeds, while Queen Wu listened attentively.

"...My aunt often says that people know their masters. If my sister is really sensible, how can the third sister do this?"

Queen Wu smiled and said nothing. Miss Wu Jiu finished her sentence almost without missing a word. After drinking half a cup of tea, she looked at Queen Wu and frowned: "What's so different about this young lady? I stared blankly. Hehe, he is far worse than Sister Ruo, or... is it the Pei family? If there is no profit, the Pei family must have a plan to send this eldest lady back? "

"I let you take a look because I don't know three words." Empress Wu sighed, "Compared with them, our Wu family started late. I didn't know before. Around her, no matter how much she hides it, I also know a lot of things, and only then do I know how many secrets they have hidden for centuries or hundreds of years."

Miss Wu Jiu listened intently to Empress Wu's words. Aunt is the person she trusts and admires the most. Of course, Aunt also loves her the most. Aunt only talks to her about many things.

"Does the eldest princess know too?" Miss Wu Jiu asked in a low voice, thinking about what Empress Wu said.

Empress Wu nodded and sighed again, "The Empress Dowager can't trust the Wu family, let alone me, or even the emperor. The one she trusts the most is the eldest princess."

Miss Wu Jiu looked at Empress Wu and didn't dare to answer.

"On the day when the daughter of the Li family returned to the clan, the eldest princess had someone send her a congratulatory gift." Empress Wu continued, "I have thought about it, but I can't think of anything special about this eldest lady, and I can't do this to win over the Pei family. , Well, you see, this is our shortcoming, there are too many things we don’t know.”

"Well, I will spend more time with Miss Li in the future to see if I can see some clues." Miss Wu Jiu replied in a low voice.

Empress Wu didn't know what she was thinking of, and her expression was gloomy and obscure. After a while, she raised her hand and patted the back of Miss Wu Jiu's hand. "It's okay. Auntie has overcome many difficulties in the past. In the future... she can get over it. You go back and rest." Come on, you’ve been tired for a long time. You go to the Chen family the day after tomorrow and pay more attention. I heard that the immortal ancestor of the Chen family is still in the capital. I have asked people to check outside the city several times..."

Empress Wu didn't say anything else, she just sighed. She didn't know what was so magical and scary about this immortal ancestor of the Chen family. Because she didn't know, she could only restrain her hands. Alas, she only knew now, There are too many old things she doesn't know...

"I understand what auntie means, don't worry, auntie." Miss Wu Jiu agreed, stood up and said goodbye.

In the Huainan Palace, the eldest son Shao Cong and the fourth master Shao Yu have already entered the Taixue, and they have to go to class early in the morning. After inquiring about the elder son and the fourth master going out of the mansion to go to school, Xiong Keding is carrying a jar of good daughter Hong, Yu Shu Carrying the package of pig head meat, the two of them entered Zhou Rui's small courtyard with only two rooms.

"Master Zhou's courtyard, you have to come here a lot to know the benefits!" Xiong Keding put down the wine jar, walked around and stretched his head to look around, while praising loudly, "This is the bank? Look at this wall," Xiong Keding Turned out and knocked on the stone wall behind the two small rooms. "I heard that it is two or three feet thick. This is called backing on the silver mountain. What a good backing..."

Zhou Rui stood at the door of the house, looking at Xiong Keding who was looking around and knocking everywhere, just smiled and didn't answer.

"Okay, Zhou Dalang is not an outsider, don't mess with these useless things, you can't tell the truth if you have something to say? The old bear has something important to tell you, so that people won't eavesdrop." Yu Shu spread out the pork head and put a piece in his mouth , One sentence pierced Xiong Keding's intention.

Zhou Rui laughed, and Xiong Keding blushed, "If you are not an outsider, you have to be more polite... I don't mean anything else, your place is really nice, I really mean it... Forget it, Lao Yu is right, Not outsiders, come here, let's drink, this pork head meat is from the old Song's family in the east of the city, the first portion in the capital, you have a taste."

Zhou Rui stepped aside to let Xiong Keding in, "There is no other good thing about my place, it's just that it's quiet and it's a place where I can talk safely."

"I'm just you, you're a smart person." Xiong Keding had already read it once, and after hearing what Zhou Rui said, his heart settled down, he laughed, first poured wine for Zhou Rui and Yu Shu, and then filled it up for himself. , "Come on, let's drink three glasses of it first."

"Old Yu said that you have a huge capacity. This kind of good daughter Hong can drink two or three catties. I also like to drink a few glasses. This kind of good wine, when I am in a good mood, I can drink four or five catties." Zhou Rui drank a full cup in one gulp Wine, looked at Xiong Keding and said with a smile.

A trace of embarrassment flashed across Xiong Keding's face, and then he laughed, "Zhou Dalang is really... a smart man... let's drink slowly."

Zhou Dalang has about the same amount of wine as him, so his plan of getting people half-drunk so that he can tell the truth won't work. What's more, he only has this jar of wine, which only weighs three or four kilograms...

Yu Shu looked at Xiong Keding with a look of disgust. He told him that Zhou Dalang is a good friend, and sincerity is the most important thing in a man. If it weren't for decades of friendship, he would really not want to talk to such a fool!
