I'll be a nanny for the lord

Chapter 1299 What a coincidence

As a result of being satisfied, Gu Yuanlong ate two full meals for dinner.

Seeing that he was eating happily, Xia Ying heard Gu Yuanlong talk about what he had encountered in Jingzhao Yamen today. The mother and son brought another group of little guys together to gossip for a long time, and before she knew it, she also gave a bowl of rice to eat Be clean.

After eating, the mother and son went back to their rooms to rest, and the next day they naturally started to go their separate ways.

In this way, half a month later, Gu Yuanlong could be considered to have adapted to the chaotic rhythm in Jingzhao Yamen, and he began to formally get started with the things inside.Xia Ying also clarified the idea of ​​the painting, and finished the first draft.

Then, Gu Yuanlong also told her what he had promised Xia Ying before——

"Mother, I just found out that since half a year ago, several families in the capital have been in trouble, and the whole family was killed, leaving no one alive. At first glance, these families have nothing to do with each other. However, Haier finally found the final connection through these days of digging and cocooning. Some of their families had worked as secret guards, and they all died at the hands of the second sister. Several of them competed with the second sister many years ago. When the position of the commander of the dark guard was lost, the second sister personally ended it."

I go!

This news is really exciting!
And... seems like really good news too?

"However, are you sure the time was half a year ago? This time seems to be a bit special!" Xia Ying began to think about it, she felt that this time point was stuck a bit strangely.

Gu Yuanlong nodded. "Half a year ago, it was the time when Wen Yuan was defeated by Ye Jing and then fled."

In a flash, half a year has passed?
Xia Ying sighed lightly.

Time passed so quickly, and she almost forgot the existence of this person amidst the busy schedule.As a result, when he heard his son mention this person again, the vivid figure once again appeared in front of his eyes.

The guy who used to pop up from time to time to play tricks in front of her has actually disappeared for half a year.

"It's such a coincidence." Xia Ying said softly.

"Isn't it? What a coincidence." Gu Yuanlong also said.

The topic of the mother and son was only shelved at this level, and they did not dig deeper.

However, deep down in their hearts, the mother and son have already thought a lot.

Xia Ying has already confirmed that this matter was definitely done by Wen Yuan!
After all, in this world, there should be no one who is as devoted to the matter of the second sister as he is.

Hey!
Poor guy put all his sincere heart on the second sister, but in the end he didn't get anything in return.

However, what surprised Xia Ying even more was what Gu Yuanlong's discovery brought her——

It turns out that this guy has been in the capital all along!He didn't leave!

Knowing the news, Xia Ying didn't know whether she should be happy or helpless.

"Forget it, forget it!" She shook her head speechlessly, "I have a lot of things on my hands!"

It's just that there are some things that she doesn't want to intervene, and things will let her go.

No, it's the twelfth lunar month in a flash, and every household in the capital is preparing new year's goods.

The latest collection of poems and paintings in Qianjin Bookstore has finally been assembled into a volume, and then it is published and sold to the public!
Although these poems and essays have been spread as early as the housewarming in the Zhai Mansion, especially the poems and essays sung by Tang Shanchang and Gu Yuanlong, the master and apprentice, are even more admirable, and everyone is almost familiar with them.However, this does not prevent the great popularity of poetry and painting collections.

There is no way, the current Qianjin Bookstore has already become a leader among many bookstores in the capital. No matter if it is a bigwig in the field of poetry or calligraphy and painting, they all have a lot of friendship with Xia Ying, so as long as Xia Ying speaks, they will definitely I will hand over my latest work to Xia Ying for publication.

Who would not be happy that the things produced in this way can make money for themselves and put a layer of gold on their faces for doing good deeds?
What's more, Xia Ying has never been more serious when dealing with these matters.Even though the reputation of Qianjin Bookstore has spread far and wide around the capital, and the customer base has stabilized long ago, she still strictly controls the quality of her works.The customers bought the booklets and went back, and none of them were dissatisfied with the products!

Over time, the products produced by Qianjin Bookstore have also become synonymous with good quality, and you can treasure any copy you take home.

The current collection of poems and paintings is another grand gathering after Xia Ying first came to the capital the year before last, after Xinglin Yaji, the big names in the capital's painting circle, and the people who produced the works are all well-known!Buy a book like this and keep it at home, it can be used as a family heirloom!
As a result, the collection of poems and paintings was sold out as soon as it was put out.

Xia Ying specially left two copies, one was sent to the palace for the empress to enjoy, and the other was carefully packaged by her, and was given as an annual gift together with Gu Yuanlong's first month's salary after becoming Jing Zhao Yin Arrived at Wei Wang's mansion.

When Princess Wei saw this gift, she laughed so hard that she couldn't see her teeth.

"The New Year gift brought by Mrs. Ronghua is very precious! Seeing these things, I don't know what to give back to you!"

"You know what our family wants, Wangfei, so we don't have to beat around the bush." ​​Xia Ying laughed.

The two looked at each other and smiled, and Princess Wei also smiled more heartily.

"Indeed, the two children have been engaged for a year. They are not young. It is time to set the date of marriage."

"Isn't it? My brother Long is now Jing Zhaoyin anyway. He is busy with the work ahead, and there should be a reassuring person to help him take care of all kinds of social gatherings in the back house. I can't do it." , My family's affairs are still handled by my housekeeper!" Xia Ying laughed.

She is expressing her attitude that she will not interfere with her son and daughter-in-law's affairs in the future.

With her words, Princess Wei felt relieved.

"Then wait for my prince to come back tonight, and I'll mention it to him. The prince has kept his daughter for so long, so he should let him go."

Xia Ying smiled and nodded. "Then I will wait for good news from you, Princess!"

As she said that, she couldn't help mentioning again: "Now, do you have news about Wen Yuan?"

Princess Wei still shook her head. "As long as that kid wants to hide, no one will be able to find him. But I think he should show up soon."

There was a bit of disappointment on her face, clearly disapproving of this matter.

However, it doesn't matter if you don't agree or disagree, she also knows that she can't stop this from happening.

Seeing this, Xia Ying's heart sank again.

"Why? It's because of the hidden guard..."

"Yes, there will be big changes in the hidden guard at the end of the year." Princess Wei said slowly.

Yes, Ye Jing and Second Sister, the final confrontation between mother and son is about to begin.
