delicious little cook

Chapter 624 Act without trace

Shi Tianmin saw that he really couldn't keep Gu Yun, so he had no choice but to send him out, and told him to ride home carefully and be safe.

After drinking a lot of wine, although Gu Yun was surrounded by guards, he really didn't dare to ride a fast horse. He dawdled back to Tianshuifang, went straight into the stables, and walked back to Zhongmingyuan through Babu Lane.

Seeing that the young master came back after drinking, the girls hurriedly helped him into the house to change his clothes and wash his face, and asked the small kitchen to prepare some food for the young master for lunch.

Naturally, Bai Kou went to Xilefang early in the morning, and the soap making workshop had already moved there. She had promised to hire experienced soap craftsmen and she did, but because of the bad traditional crafts, the healthy and skilled The craftsmen were really limited, but they still took a bunch of young people as apprentices. Before these young people fully adapted to their new life, Bai Kou had to focus more on Xilefang.

Knowing that Bai Kou was not at home, Gu Yun ate something and took a nap. After waking up from the wine, he was really bored at home and didn't want to read a book, so he went to wander the streets, inspected his shops and glass workshops, and made some should do.

After walking around and returning home, Bai Kou just came back, the two chatted for a while, went back to their rooms to change their clothes and wash their faces, and then met in the ear room.

While drinking the cool sour plum soup, Gu Yun told him that he met Liang Zhongshan at the poetry meeting.

"I didn't expect Shi Tianmin to invite him, but he didn't tell me in advance."

"Except for Liang Zhongshan, did he tell you the other list in advance?"

"No, I just said that there are daughters of gold participating."

"That's not intentional concealment. Don't take it to heart. If you don't mind, next time he invites you, you can take the initiative to ask who is there, copy down the list, find someone to secretly investigate the background, and spend a little more time. If you can sort out a detailed picture of your social circle and have been led by them for so long, it's your turn to take the initiative once or twice."

Gu Yun couldn't help laughing for a while, then remembered seeing Tong Mingli at the poetry meeting, so he also told Bai Kou about it.

Bai Kou didn't react much at first, but when she heard Gu Yun say that Tong Mingli was not doing well and couldn't recite poems, she still sighed lightly.

"It's a good thing that Ms. Tong is willing to go out. Don't mention other things. Such malicious harm is a great blow to people's spirits. Ms. Tong is a spoiled and pampered daughter. If you can’t get out, it’s also possible that you’re crazy.”

"Tsk, those people are so hateful! That Peng Nian is really daring. He also came from the Imperial Academy. In terms of seniority, Tong Hanlin is still his junior."

"The official department, the head of the six departments, the senior officials have been sitting in good positions for a long time, it is inevitable that they will be a little arrogant, coupled with the continuous flow of benefits, is it very important to be just a junior in the Imperial Academy? It is worth it for him and his own Is the interest circle quarreling?"

"Hey? But don't you think it's weird?"

"What's wrong?"

"Peng Nian has only been imprisoned for a few days, and there are piles of evidence against him. It looks like an official's downfall. Don't you think it's a bit of a shame?"

"If you don't tell me, the servant girl really didn't realize that the maidservant is not that well-informed about the affairs of the court, but the maidservant has more first-hand information about the market and business affairs." Bai Kou looked innocent. .

"Humility, it's too modest." Gu Yun was used to seeing her expression, and wasn't fooled at all.

"Peng Nian is just a servant on the right, and there is a minister on top of him. I heard that Master Shangshu didn't know about the things he did. This old minister is really dereliction of duty. Is it because he is old and lacks energy? Why don't you return home? To avoid occupying a good seat in vain and affecting the upward flow of talents."

"Don't be like this, I was almost scared by you and started to sympathize with the Minister of the Ministry of Officials."

"Just remind the prince. You just want to watch such a thing and you are not qualified to stand in the first row. The saint is old and no one can afford to wait. Even if he becomes an old birthday star, his energy and physical strength cannot keep up Come on, at that age, sooner or later you will abdicate and become the Supreme Emperor. This is a good ending, the old and new regimes will be handed over smoothly, and I am afraid that if you close your eyes, then..."

"Okay, that's enough." Gu Yun stretched out his hand to pinch Bai Kou's mouth, and put his other hand on his lips to make a silent gesture.

Bai Kou shrugged and slapped Gu Yun's hand away.

"Don't worry, there are only three cases. The government has already been involved in four cases. In the end, officials have stepped down. Enough is enough. The patience of the saint is limited. If you get involved in a new case, those ministers should gang up on us. .”

"So, next, even if you want to do something, it will be completely picked up?"

"The servant girl is out for business and has never done anything superfluous." Bai Kou held her face in both hands, innocent and kind.

Gu Yun smiled and lay down on the low table.

At the same time, the poetry meeting ended early. After Gu Yun left, the Qianjin ladies all lost their interest, and the meeting ended after lunch time.

Liang Zhongshan used Shi Tianmin's light to show courteousness to Shi Tianqi, but only received a cold social response. Thinking of her attitude towards Gu Yun, he was not in a good mood. After breaking up with everyone, he went to find the sister he had made an appointment with in advance to kill time , After eating a lot of food and wine, she naturally rolled onto a bed.

That sister's skin is as snowy as it is, round and jade-like, and she is young, just two months old. Mr. Xiaoliang is her first benefactor, and she is considered one of the most favored among the current group of beauties, although this may have something to do with the freshness of the man, But now this girl just wants to do her best to let this famous romantic talent in the capital pamper her for a few more days.

So after happily rolling the bed sheets for a while, the sister took out a delicate small porcelain flat jar from under the pillow, dug a little ointment from it, and gently applied it on Liang Zhongshan's body. After recovering time, they soon became alive and well again, and the two of them began to roll around on the bed again until they no longer had the strength to move even a single finger.

That night Liang Zhongshan spent the night with his sister, and his servants hurried back to the Liang Mansion early in the morning to get clean clothes for the young master to change, so he did not miss the time to go to the Imperial Academy.

Before leaving, Liang Zhongshan took the small flat jar away.

Throughout the whole day, Liang Zhongshan was a little distracted. As long as he recalled the wonderful feeling of last night, he would feel hot all over his body, and a certain part was about to move restlessly. Lanzhu, he took out the small jar of ointment, had a hasty dinner, and quarreled with Lanzhu all night, and at the end of the third watch, the two fell asleep hugging each other tiredly and contentedly.

This ointment brought Liang Zhongshan the greatest sense of satisfaction as a man. After using it for only two nights, he was unable to extricate himself from it. After that, he fought with different women in bed for several nights. This was against his old habits. , but strangely, he is not disgusted, but finds it wonderful and interesting, and just wants to sink.

In the blink of an eye, at the end of May, Bai Kou received a letter from his uncle Tang Lin. Liang Zhongshan took the bait, and no one was involved.

After reading the letter, Bai Kou stuffed it together with the envelope into the stove in the pantry and burned it to ashes.

No evidence.
