The soft beauty is very good at flirting, and the soul of the ascetic prince is floating

Chapter 34 Step by step
  Under the cold face of Marquis Yong'an, Li Gui quickly figured out which woman it was.

But up, down, left, right, and in the woods in the neighborhood, Gu Wanyu and others had already taken care of it.

Everyone knows that this Miss Chen came to Shengjing because her family was in trouble.
  Except for Chen Shenzhen and Gu Liufu, not even Chun'er knew that the relative she defected to was Gu Wanyu's Xiaohuan.

Li Gui asked around and only found out the most obvious things.

"Did you ask about that woman's appearance?" Marquis Yongan squinted his eyes, becoming suspicious.

"No, such a young lady always wears a hat when going out and does not show her true face in front of outsiders." Li Gui shook his head.
  "Master Hou, what do you think is wrong?"

Li Gui was his confidant, and Marquis Yong'an naturally didn't hide it either.

He told me that the appearance of the woman he saw by chance was similar to the dead Jade Rui of Zui Chun Lou Tou brand.

Li Gui looked up in disbelief.
  "It shouldn't be possible. I just asked about it. Ms. Chen behaves like a lady, so how could she be from Zuichunlou..."

"Besides, if it's really that girl Yu Rui, wouldn't Mr. Tuesday kidnap people back to the Zhenguo Duke's Mansion?"

"Master Marquis, are you?"

He wanted to ask if he had seen it wrong, but he did not dare to ask due to his identity.

Marquis Yong'an glanced at him angrily,
  I want to say that he is not so dim that he sees the wrong person.

But then I thought about it, and when I looked at that woman’s behavior that day, she really didn’t look like someone from a dusty place.

Besides, what Li Gui said does have some truth to it.
  After thinking about it, I really feel that I may have been wrong for a moment.

There was only one woman on his side, so he said a few words casually and did not mention the matter.

He casually waved his hand for Li Gui to go down.
  Li Gui turned around to leave, but suddenly remembered something, and turned back to report:

"When I came back just now, I happened to see Wintersweet beside my wife. She said that dinner had been prepared and she was inviting me over."

Only then did Marquis Yong'an remember that today was the fifteenth day.

Fortunately, he bought some more rouge and gouache for his concubines in the afternoon, so he ordered Li Gui to take the rest with him to the main courtyard.

----split line----

When Gu Wanyu got the news, he immediately had several thoughts in his mind.

He hurriedly conveyed some words to Chen Shenzhen, including the next steps and what he needed to pay attention to.
  He also asked Gu Liufu to avoid people when passing the message, and to be more careful, just to be safe.

After Chen Shenzhen got her instructions, she felt that if she wanted to do something, she should be more careful.
  While pricking the center of his eyebrow with a hairpin, he was thinking about the next step.

As long as Wan Yu felt that she had seen the right person, this woman still had some tricks up her sleeve.
  Then he gave him all the money,

He only controls the general direction secretly, and Chen Shenzhen leaves the rest to his own consideration.

She knew that this matter could not be rushed, so she turned most of her energy back to herself.
  Aunt Lin was driven out of the main room by her in a few words, but she could only express her gratitude.
  After suffering the loss of being dumb this time, I will naturally not give up easily.

Coincidentally, I wonder if Song Jingzhang was touched by her actions and "revelation of true feelings" that night. After coming for two more days, he was willing to chat with her more.

In addition to the one hundred thousand taels of silver she received the first time, she also received something from Song Jingzhang.

"This is?"

To be honest, she was really surprised when she looked at the table full of silks and satins.

"The one below was presented to me. When I saw that the color suited you, I sent someone to bring it over."

Song Jingzhang said calmly while looking at the chess game she arranged,

"You are good at chess." "Thank you very much for remembering me, I like it very much,"

Gu Wanyu smiled and saw that he was still staring at the chessboard, so she said shyly:

"But those who look at the chess records and play with them casually are actually doing tricks in front of me."

Song Jingzhang waved his hand, "No need to be humble."

He could also see that it was indeed good.

After watching it for a while, I became somewhat interested, so I sat down by the chessboard.
  "Have a chat with me."

Gu Wanyu was naturally unfazed.
  After sitting down and cleaning up the chessboard, we started playing chess with him.

Song Jingzhang is also very proficient in the Six Arts of Junzi, and he is always superb in chess.

Now when I meet someone like Gu Wanyu who is equally skilled in chess but doesn't follow the usual path,
  I couldn't help but feel serious and didn't say anything about giving in.

I saw Song Jingzhang holding a black piece, and she holding a white piece, going back and forth, and for a moment neither could do anything to the other.

Seeing this, Xiaohuan and Zhuer quietly retreated without disturbing the two of them.

"Master, madam, the tea is here."

After a while,
  Lin Sulan's voice suddenly sounded outside, followed by a burst of very light footsteps.
  First, he offered a cup of tea to Song Jingzhang, and then put it on Gu Wanyu's hand.

Song Jingzhang picked it up and took a sip. He raised his eyes and paused at Lin Sulan.
  "You're a bit strange, maid."

"My lord, this servant is new to the house and has been serving you for a short time." Lin Sulan lowered her head and said softly.

Gu Wanyu smiled meaningfully and then said,
  "Don't you know, sir, that Su Lan is Grandma Lin's niece?"

Song Jingzhang's brows furrowed slightly, and then he frowned,
  Without making any more sound, he just waved his hand to signal Lin Sulan to retreat.

Lin Sulan bit her lip, lowered her head and retreated quietly.

The chess game on the table continues,

Neither of them spoke anymore. There was only the sound of chess pieces falling on the chessboard from time to time in the room.
  ……

"I lost." Gu Wanyu suddenly lost the chess piece and admitted defeat calmly.
  Song Jingzhang also dropped the chess piece casually and looked up at her, "It's already pretty good." For her,

At least it was better than the ones in his backyard.

Gu Wanyu looked at him with some admiration on his face and smiled leisurely.
  Just wanted to say something,
  Out of the corner of his eye, he caught a glimpse of a corner of clothes exposed from the crack in the outer door.
  My heart moved slightly, and the words that came to my lips were changed to - "Master, take a rest for a while, I will go to the kitchen to see how the soup is."

Song Jingzhang nodded carelessly,
  Gu Wanyu quietly stepped back,
  Looking at the two pots of elegant flowers at the door of the main room, I thought to myself,
  Don't say that she didn't give Lin Sulan a chance.
  I hope she can seize such a great opportunity.

Then he straightened his expression and took Xiaohuan to the kitchen to see how they were doing with the soup.
  Song Jingzhang only occasionally came here to spend the night in the past.
  Now, everyone in the house was very surprised when he suddenly left food.
  Now the kitchen can't wait to use all the 18 martial arts skills in its body so that it can show its face in front of the master.
  If they can get a compliment, it will not only gain face, but also make the lady value them more.

With this in mind, the kitchen is now in full swing.
  Almost all the maids and servants who had nothing to do came over to help. Even Zhu'er, who had just retreated, was also there.

When Gu Wanyu came over, he saw such a scene and couldn't help but find it funny.

"Why is Madam here?" Grandma Sun's eyes were sharp and she was the first to see her.
  "The kitchen is dirty and messy, how can I let Madam come here in person?"

"It's okay, but come over and have a look..."

Before Gu Wanyu finished speaking, he heard a faint sound of breaking a tea cup from the main room.
