The Grand Secretary’s Pampered Wife

Chapter 420 Reunion (two more)

Since the other party chose Yuan Tang as the scapegoat, there would be no danger of his life for the time being until Princess Rui came forward to testify.

Gu Jiao left Prince Rui's residence.

She got into the carriage of the hospital.

Just a few steps away, the carriage was stopped by someone.

It's Yuan Tang.

Yuan Tang came to the side of the carriage, opened the curtains and said to Gu Jiao: "I went back to the palace last night and thought about it all night, the more I thought about it, the more I felt that something was wrong. You just asked me if I have something to do with your Princess Zhao Guo. I was chased and killed when I turned around. To be honest, do you know something? Does this matter have something to do with your royal family of Zhao Kingdom?"

Gu Jiao said flatly: "No comment."

If I tell you the truth, you disclose your whereabouts that day and make a perfect alibi, then Princess Rui will lose the value of testifying against you.

Princess Rui is in danger.

Therefore, for the safety of Princess Rui, I should temporarily wrong you, the great His Royal Highness Chen Guo, for a while.

Gu Jiao grabbed the curtain and said with a smile: "Someone may come to assassinate you in the past few days, so be careful."

After finishing speaking, she put down the curtain of the car, and said to Xiaosanzi, "Let's go!"

The carriage is gone!

Yuan Tang jumped in anger.

"Hey, hey! Please speak clearly! Who is going to assassinate my highness!"

what!

This girl!

Halfway through talking, it's so annoying!

Yuan Tang roared in place: "Girl! Don't think you can stay out of the matter! If that person wants to kill me, wouldn't he kill you? Do you think you can escape? You have already been with His Highness !"

Gu Jiao didn't really ask Yuan Tang to take risks. The other party failed in the first assassination and couldn't figure out Yuan Tang's hole cards, so she probably wouldn't make a second attack so soon.

...

Before noon, Gu Jiao arrived at the Four Seas Villa.

There are three days in the party, the really important thing is the first day and the second day, and you can come back the next afternoon.

Unsurprisingly, they ran into people from Huichuntang at the chamber of commerce. This is a very important chamber of commerce. All the major owners came, so Gu Jiao met the rumored stepson of the Hu family——Hu Erye Hu Hongtu.

Just by the name, you can tell how high your parents expect of him.

Back then, the second owner's family was squeezed out by the family, so don't expect Hu Hongtu to have much brotherhood with him.

Hu Hongtu smiled and looked at the second owner's family, without concealing the contempt and disdain in his eyes: "Brother is here too? It seems that when I was in Huichuntang, my brother secretly learned a lot."

This is too embarrassing, what do you mean that the second owner's family stole a lot in Huichuntang, the co-author of the second owner's family is an outsider, and Huichuntang is not his own father's property.

Hu Hongtu might have forgotten that if it wasn't for his appearance, the second owner would be the first successor of Huichuntang.

Although Huichuntang was a century-old pharmacy, when the mother of Erdong's family first married to the Hu family, the Hu family suffered an accident, and Huichuntang was almost unable to operate.

But in the end, this miserable woman got nothing, and died of a serious illness, leaving her youngest son to be bullied.

Only when a person is weak will he be stabbed in the foot. Now that he has a strong backing, he is not afraid of Hu Hongtu's provocation: "I came here because of my real ability. You weren't the one who stole it? I'm the son of the Hu family!"

Hu Hongtu said hehe: "The former son of the Hu family! Now you are just a bereaved dog!"

The second boss smiled coldly: "Really? Let's wait and see, and see if it's my lost dog who killed you in the end!"

The brothers broke up unhappy.

Gu Jiao admired the surrounding landscape curiously.

The second boss said: "I made you laugh."

Gu Jiao said: "No, it's fine."

The more humble Hu Hongtu is, the more ruthless they will be when they fight in the future.

Gu Jiao asked, "Do you need my help?"

The second owner said angrily: "No need, just a stepson, I can crush him to death!"

The Second Master is not the former Second Master, he is Niu Hulu Second Master!

Since the second boss said so, Gu Jiao will not get involved in the grievances between their brothers.

She stayed in the villa for one night, met many merchants in the capital with the second owner's family, and also used her superb medical skills to prove the strength of Miaoshoutang to the chamber of commerce.

She returned as scheduled the next afternoon.

She rushed back to celebrate the Moon Festival, which was the Mid-Autumn Festival in her previous life, and it was a great day for a family to reunite and enjoy the moon.

Last year was due to Qiu Wei, and we couldn't have a good holiday. This year, everyone is here.

Feng Lin and Lin Chengye came over early in the morning, and Du Ruohan also came, but he went back after lunch, and Gu Jiao failed to meet Du Ruohan.

Gu Jiao invited Master Lu and Mrs. Nan Xiang early in the morning. The two came in the afternoon, and almost arrived at Bishui Hutong with Gu Jiao.

"Master Lu, Mrs. Nanxiang!" Xiao Jingkong warmly and hospitablely invited the two of them into the courtyard. One of his eagles and seven chickens were all tied with big red flowers, and they formed a welcome formation in the courtyard. Said it was very ceremonial!

Nan Shiniang liked this little guy so much, she smiled and said, "You are just Qing Kong?"

"Yes, Mrs. Nan!" Xiao Jingkong said cutely.

The older one and the younger chatted happily, and Xiao Jingkong enthusiastically introduced his chick and little eagle to Mrs. Nan, and of course, he didn't forget to introduce Gu Yan's puppy along the way.

"That's Xiaoba, he's relatively timid."

Xiaobazi straightened up the male dog's waist.

How timid it is!

It is the bravest shepherd dog in the whole capital, okay?

"Wow!"

The big yellow dog newly raised by the Zhao family next door rushed in.

Xiao Bayi broke through in a second, hugged the dog's head with his paws, and hid behind the chickens cowardly!

Mrs. Nan likes this place very much.

The smile in her eyes never disappeared from the moment she entered the door.

Seeing Nanxiang like this, Master Lu felt very relieved.

Xiao Jingkong introduced the small vegetable garden at home to Mrs. Nanxiang, and was very proud to tell her that the vegetable garden was watered by him.

Nan Xiang was so teased by the little guy shaking his head, he wished he could steal him back right away!

Under Xiao Jingkong's introduction, Master Nan Xiang and Master Lu also got to know Feng Lin and Lin Chengye.

Surprisingly, the four of them got along very well.

Except that Lin Chengye felt that he was a stammer, because of his inferiority complex and embarrassment.

Nan Xiang smiled, not in a hurry to comfort him, but directly took off her veil.

Lin Chengye and Feng Lin Qiqi were startled, and then Lin Chengye blurted out a complete sentence: "It's okay, actually Nan Shiniang, you are very beautiful."

Feng Lin slapped Lin Chengye on the shoulder: "Ah! Xiao Linzi, stop stuttering!"

Lin Chengye: "I, I, I don't...don't tie up..."

Woo, still stuttering!

But with such an interruption, the last trace of uneasiness in everyone's hearts disappeared. No one would laugh at Lin Chengye's stuttering, nor would anyone laugh at Nan Xiang's disfigured face.

It was at this time that Xiao Liulang stepped into the courtyard. He had just gone to the small wine shop of Grandma Zhou's house to drink.

The last time Nan Xiang came over, there was only Gu Jiao in the family, and Xiao Liulang had never seen Nan Xiang, but he knew that Nan Xiang and Master Lu would come, and the wine was specially prepared for them.

"Liulang is back!" Feng Lin waved to Xiao Liulang.

Lin Chengye hurriedly got up and ran over to help Xiao Liulang carry the wine jar.

Feng Lin introduced with a smile: "Liulang! This is Master Lu, and this is Master Nanxiang."

Xiao Liulang: No, you really didn't treat yourself as an outsider.

Feng Lin said to the couple: "Master Lu, Mrs. Nan, he is Xiaoshun's brother-in-law!"

Master Lu and Xiao Liulang greeted each other kindly.

Nan Xiang's expression was a little weird, she kept staring at Xiao Liulang's face, which made Master Lu feel embarrassed.

He pulled Nanxiang's sleeve and whispered: "Why do you keep staring at him?"

Nan Xiang said in a daze: "I think... I seem to have seen him somewhere."

Master Lu was amused: "How could you have met him? He is Xiaoshun's brother-in-law, and he came from the county town, and you have never been to the county town. However, I heard that he looks very similar to the deceased Lord Marquis of Zhaodu. Like, did you meet the Young Lord Zhaodu when you first entered the palace?"

Nan Xiang shook his head: "No, not in the palace..."

It's not in the capital either.

Nan Xiang looked at Xiao Liulang for a moment, trying to remember where he had seen him.

"Ahh! My book! My book is gone! Naughty!"

Xiao Jingkong's wailing came from the study.

Small headroom is good for everything, but he is not very good at tidying up, and he can always be heard looking for things all day long.

Xiao Liulang didn't hear the whispered conversation between the two, he just noticed that Nan Xiang was always staring at him, but as the master, he couldn't say anything.

"Nan Shiniang, Master Lu, excuse me." After saying hello, he went to the study to help Xiao Qingkong find something.

If you don't help him find it, the little guy will go crazy and the whole family will have no peace.

This was the first lunar new year's Eve they passed through Zheng'erba in the capital. Lao Jijiu was the chef himself, and Mother Fang and Yu Ya'er helped him, and cooked a large table of special dishes - lamb scorpion spicy pot, Hand-caught mutton, sweet and sour pork tenderloin, rock sugar elbow, fried lotus root, cold tofu skin, crucian carp tofu soup, vegetarian delicacies, hairy crab and several seasonal vegetables,

Of course, I didn't forget that Xiao Jingkong's Yuexi is a special vegetarian. He also has hairy crabs... steamed stuffed buns, made of flour and tofu skin.

"Eat it in the yard, and you can enjoy the moon!" Feng Lin said.

Small Headroom was the first to agree.

Feng Lin and Lin Chengye went to move the tables. There were too many people and one table was not enough, so they made two.

Gu Jiao didn't take part in the cooking, she was making mooncakes in the small stove house by her uncle, and Xiao Liulang was also there.

He is not very good at cooking, so he can still chop wood, light a fire and carry water.

Xiao Liulang has never eaten moon cakes, but it can be seen that Gu Jiao makes a kind of dim sum with fillings. The fillings are very rich, including five kernels, red bean paste, salted egg yolk and lotus seed paste.

"Can you make jujube paste?" He asked suddenly.

"I haven't done it, but it should work." Gu Jiao said, "It seems that there are no red dates at home."

"I'll go buy it!" Xiao Liulang stood up and said.

Gu Jiao gave him a weird look, she never saw you like jujube paste so much.

"Okay." Gu Jiao nodded.

Xiao Liulang went to a nearby market to buy red dates, and under the guidance of Gu Jiao, he washed them, removed the pits, and mashed them into jujube paste.

There is no oven, moon cakes can only be steamed, and the taste is still not the same as the moon cakes in the previous life, but Gu Jiao has put a lot of thought into the molds, and the moon cakes are round, flower-shaped, and very special. Cute pattern with words.

When Xiao Jingkong saw the cute little pig's head on his mooncake, he screamed with excitement!

Gu Jiao picked out a few sugar-free mooncakes and put them in the food box: "These are for my aunt."

Empress Dowager Zhuang will spend the moon and night in the palace and cannot come out.

Gu Jiao planned to send her to the palace in a while.

Unexpectedly, Xiao Liulang took the initiative to contract this task: "I'll send it to my aunt."

Gu Jiao glanced at him: "Okay."

"Jiaojiao! Jiaojiao! Come and take a look!" Xiao Jingkong didn't know what new land he had discovered, and dragged Gu Jiao out.

When Gu Jiao returned to the stove house, Xiao Liulang had already brought mooncakes and left.

Except for those few sugar-free ones, the jujube paste ones were also taken away.

On Suzaku Avenue, the whole street is filled with festive atmosphere.

However, a courtyard behind the peach tree was extremely deserted and quiet.

Because it was too quiet, I could clearly hear the laughter and laughter of the rest of the house.

The windows are wide open.

Princess Xinyang and Yujin sat opposite each other by the window, and there were sumptuous dishes on the table between them.

Yujin opened a plump crab and said with a gentle smile: "After the moon and eve today, the princess will not be a vegetarian. This is a crab sent by the palace. Princess, try it?"

"It's for you to eat." Princess Xinyang said.

Yujin sighed.

The noises of children playing and adults laughing and cursing came from the next door, making it even more desolate and desolate on their side.

Suddenly, someone knocked on the silent courtyard door.

"Who is it?"

asked the little maid who was washing clothes in the yard.

She was answered by another series of knocks on the door.

"Come here!" The little maid put down the half-washed clothes, stood up, dried her hands on the towel on the clothesline, came to the door, and opened the courtyard doorway, "Who is it?"

"Huh? Where's the person?"

The little maid poked her head out to look around, and she was sure she didn't see anyone, so she scratched her head in confusion: "I obviously heard someone knocking on the door."

She was about to close the courtyard door, but suddenly saw a food box at the door.

"Eh? Who let it go?"

she muttered.

"What's the matter?" Yujin asked looking at the strange little maid in the corridor.

The little maid turned around and said to Yujin: "Master Yujin, someone knocked on the door just now and put a food box here."

Yujin is a very cautious person, she came to the door and looked at the tightly closed food box, she didn't open it immediately, but called Long Yi, and asked Long Yi to open it.

"Be careful, I'm afraid there is a hidden weapon hidden inside." Yujin said.

She didn't know if Long Yi could understand.

But after all, there is no hidden weapon in this world that can plot against Long Yi.

Long Yi opened the food box, and a strong aroma of date paste came out.

Yujin was stunned for a moment, only to see that there were some hidden weapons inside, which were obviously novel and unique snacks.

The princess loves jujube cake.

But almost no one knows.

"What's wrong?"

Princess Xinyang walked over calmly.

The little maid hurriedly bowed and saluted.

Yu Jin hugged the food box in Long Yi's arms, handed it to her and said, "I don't know who put this one in."

Princess Xinyang picked up a mooncake filled with jujube paste and stared at it for a long time.

The little maid asked cautiously: "Do you want to throw it away? Will someone poison it?"
