Chapter 108
Back in the painting garden, Xu Jiatong tapped on the door three times according to the method agreed in advance, and Bi Shui asked another question before opening the door.

Bi Shui let out a long breath and said: "It's good that the girl is back, just now Lan Ying came to send a message, if there is no wife to send a message in the future, you don't have to go to have dinner. Fortunately, Lan Ying just told Ah Xiang, didn't come in, or else The slaves must reveal their secrets."

"We don't have an honest reason to go out yet, so we can only do this for now. If she insists on coming in, you can go through the back window, and she can't do anything to me when I'm not in the room." Xu Jiatong sighed.

Bi Shui didn't say much, after a while, he felt that the room was too quiet, and remembered something, so he started gossip.

"Second Young Master didn't follow the girl, nor did he follow Fifth Girl from the beginning. I heard that he stayed at the ancestral house for two days longer. The slave girl remembered that he didn't seem to have been to the ancestral house before, and he didn't have anyone he knew well. The people in that house don't know how he stayed." Bi Shui felt that Xu Lianjue was a soft persimmon, even a servant girl would be taboo.

Xu Jiatong thought for a while, then asked: "He stayed alone in the ancestral house for two days, did you hear me wrong, how did I remember that he was always with Miss Wu?"

"There's nothing wrong with this. This servant heard Dong Xue say that Second Young Master was afraid of madam's anger, so he begged Fifth Miss to help smooth things over. He also told Fifth Miss not to speak out. It seems that he is really afraid of Madame and Third Miss. "Bi Shui said.

Xu Jiatong said: "There is always a reason for him to stay in the ancestral house. It seems that he is not as cowardly and incompetent as he appears on the surface."

Bi Shui also learned not to ask more questions beforehand, and Xu Jiatong didn't say anything further.

At this time, Xu Jiaqing felt guilty towards her and wanted to cling to her, and she purposely told her these words.But it may not be because he wanted to do anything, but because he wanted to make her feel at ease, to show that he had no secrets, and that he was on her side.

But Xu Lianjue is not simple, he is the son of a maidservant, although Li Shi feels that he is his own grandson after all, he has never made things difficult for him, and I heard that he is also included in the annual gifts sent to Xidu every New Year. Son.But as long as Xu Xiaozu and Lin didn't make a clear statement, she would not get close to Xu Lianjue.

Zheng Shi and Xu Xiaoxian were also embarrassed towards him, just saying a few perfunctory words on their faces.Xu Lianjue didn't want to stay in the ancestral house because he wanted to renew his family relationship with them. He stayed for two more days against the cold faces of the whole family. There must be a reason for him to stay.

Xu Lianjue was ambitious, Xu Jiatong guessed that he at least wanted to get back his share.He stayed in the ancestral house to bite the bullet and brazenly want to make friends with those elders and even clan elders. Even if he can't make deep friends, he still wants to open up the situation.

It is not impossible for him to make a comeback. After all, he has a unique advantage. He is Xu Xiaozu's only biological son.

"Pay more attention to him. If there is anyone who needs help, we will help him." Xu Jiatong ordered, and turned to look through the clothes box, "Where are the rough clothes we brought?"

"It's all on the bottom, girl, you won't go out of the house as a servant again, will you?" Bi Shui was startled.

Xu Jiatong nodded and said: "Let's go to the Yang Mansion tonight, and you will follow me too. Don't worry too much, Master Dai will arrange someone to meet him."

With Dai Yuanguan's attitude, and thinking about his usual principles of handling things, Pang Tai will definitely let Pang Tai take care of them.

"You don't want to meet that uncle, do you? I heard that he has both civil and military skills, and his appearance is not bad, but he is introverted and rarely goes out. He sounds good, not like you think. Would you not I also heard that you want to meet him?" Bi Shui said with a smile.

If there is a hidden disease, and you live in seclusion or even go out easily, it is difficult for outsiders to see it.Since Dai Yuanguan's words opened the door, she had to find out in person.

"It's a matter of life, I must see it with my own eyes. You can walk with me, look out for the wind, and listen to the movement. I'll do the important things." Xu Jiatong said.

It's night, and the sky this night seems to be filled with a lot of black cotton, and you can faintly see clusters of dark clouds.The bright moon hangs high, the surrounding light is very bright, and only a few small stars are shining on the black sky.

An hour after dinner, the alley had become silent, but the street was still buzzing with people.Compared with Ding'anhou's mansion, Yang's mansion is quieter than Xudong.But it's not that the location here is not good, on the contrary, the families of this generation are much more secure than ordinary upstarts.

"Girl, they also need to look at their badges when they enter the mansion." Bi Shui wandered around the back alley of Yang's mansion twice, and came back to report.

Of course Xu Jiatong knew that servants who entered the mansion had to look at their badges, so he looked around: "It's not far from Dai's mansion, go to the concierge of Dai's mansion and ask for someone named Pang Tai."

Bi Shui came back after a while, Pang Tai didn't come, but she brought back two waist cards, which were for the servants who walked up and down.

"Pang Tai asked the maidservant to bring a message. It's from two maidservants who went shopping. He had a stomachache today, and he asked you to thank Master Dai in person." Bi Shui deliberately emphasized the four words of "definitely." words.

"Understood, let's go in." Xu Jiatong nodded embarrassingly, Dai Yuanguan's stinking problem must have happened again.

Both of them were wearing coarse cloth clothes brought from their private houses and wearing waist tags, so that they were not much different from the low-level servants who bought them.

"Girl, can I buy your basket and the vegetables in it? We belong to Yang's Mansion." Xu Jiatong was about to cross the alley, and took a look at the back alley of Yang's Mansion. At this time, everyone who came back brought big things. s things.

It happened that someone was carrying a large basket of vegetables to the door. Captain Yang was leading the troops, and there were more soldiers and guards in the mansion than in ordinary mansions. These vegetables were probably what they ate the next day.

The girl was very happy, and said with a smile, "Want to buy it, girl? I'll pull it to the door." After collecting the money, she turned to turn the carriage.

"Why haven't you met these two people?" A man in charge asked.

Xu Jiatong paused for a moment and said: "The two maidservants who have just entered the mansion were originally the cleaners, and the two maidservants who bought the house had a stomachache today and couldn't come out, so we temporarily let us do it."

The person in charge asked, and there were indeed two maidservants who were having stomach troubles. Seeing their dark and thin appearance, they no longer doubted it, and let them in.

There was only half a basket of vegetables in the vegetable basket, but it was still quite heavy. Fortunately, Xu Jiatong and Bi Shui also had a hard time in the private house, and often had to do some physical work, so lifting it was smooth.

After settling down, Xu Jiatong kept the clear water here to watch the wind, and went to the hut to take off the coarse clothes, inside were ordinary maid's clothes.This coarse cloth cannot enter the inner courtyard, and she had carefully prepared for it.

"You don't know the way, so I don't feel relieved to go in alone." Bi Shui said.

Xu Jiatong said: "Master Yang and Mrs. Yang believe in Fengshui very much. Not to mention the location and orientation of the houses in the mansion, even the things in the house were purchased and arranged according to Master Fengshui. I don't know where they are exactly, but I know where this house is prosperous for official fortune and where it is prosperous for heirs. You wait here, if I don't come back within an hour and a half, you can go to Dai's mansion to find Master Dai. "
