I see You Lian is the ally

Chapter 8 The Heavenly Fiancé

The little master came back, and the mansion became lively immediately, with constant laughter, which was comparable to the New Year's Eve.

Uncle Han directed his servants to light up all the wind lamps in the corridors of the courtyard. The dim yellow lights gradually dispersed the night, and the entire Zheng residence was shrouded in a ball of warm light.

Aunt Lin hugged the corner of the painting and wiped her tears. She was distressed that she would inevitably suffer when she was out alone. She also talked about how she lived and slept in the open. .

Huajiao felt heartwarming when he heard it, but he couldn't stand it after listening too much.

The servants in the mansion are all the loyal servants of Huajiao's father, Zheng Yuanyuan, but Aunt Lin is the maidservant of the Jiang family. She was also the young lady of a rich family. She was saved from an untimely death, and she has followed Jiang Shi ever since.

Because of her etiquette upbringing since she was a child, even though she has followed Huajiao for many years, when she sees her doing something out of character, she can't help saying a few words.She told Hua Jiao to abide by the rules in Lan'an these days, and not to tear herself apart with Xifu.

Hua Jiao nodded in response, while going in his left ear and out of his right ear.

After finishing the evening food, she fled back to the small courtyard where she lived.

Although she didn't come back for many years and the small courtyard has been left unused for a long time, Gu Lin has someone to clean it every day.The house is clean and elegant, and the flowers and trees in the courtyard are neatly trimmed, as if she just went out yesterday and returned today.

Maid Xuexiu helped Huajiao to bathe and change clothes, spread out the quilt, and asked Huajiao: "Little lady, this time I'm back in Lan'an, won't you leave again? Or, will you only stay for two months?"

She lives in her grandfather Jiang's house all year round, and the servants in the mansion are used to her only staying in Lan'an for two months a year.

Huajiao changed into a soft plain skirt, lying on the soft bed, just wanting to sleep in the dark.Hearing Xue Xiu's words, his eyelashes trembled, and he said, "Maybe longer."

Xue Xiu pursed her lips and smiled: "That's great."

"Look how happy this girl is. This time, your little lady will never leave again." Lin Gu pushed the door open and entered, holding a newly made brocade quilt in her hand.

Hua Jiao was afraid of being nagged by Lin Gu again, so he buried his head and pretended to be asleep.

Lin Gu put the brocade blanket on her body, and said: "I don't know if you came back today, and the quilt is not dry, this one is newly made. I almost forgot about the business just now. Before the Lord passed away, I made a marriage for you." , and asked me to wait for you to come back, so I will leave you in Lan'an to wait for marriage and never go out again."

Hua Jiao murmured in a daze, and suddenly reacted, only to feel like a thunderbolt rolling over her head, and she was so startled that her sleepiness disappeared instantly.

She sat up suddenly, and the wind almost extinguished the candles on the lantern tree.

Xuexiu shouted in surprise: "Gu Lin, is this true? That's great, this time the little lady will be able to stay in Lan'an for a long time."

Hua Jiao stared at Lin Gu's face for a long while, then shook his head and said, "It's absolutely impossible, Lin Gu, stop coaxing me."

Lin Gu's face was serious: "Little lady, how can I coax you with marriage. Ever since your grandparent's family suffered disaster five years ago, Master Ying has been concerned about this matter."

Jiang Huajiao's witch-hunting skills are all passed down from his grandfather Jiang's family, and only Lin Gu in the house knows that Huajiao is a demon-hunting master.

"He doesn't want you to take any more risks, and wants you to live a peaceful life like an ordinary little lady in Lan'an."

Huajiao shook his head.

In her life, she was afraid that she would never be like an ordinary little lady.

"Why didn't Dad mention this to me?"

Lin Gu sighed softly: "The marriage was agreed three years ago, and Lord Ying passed away not long ago. He wanted to tell you, but he couldn't find you either."

"Gu Lin, who is the young lady's husband?" Xuexiu asked curiously.

Lin Gu said happily: "It's Mr. Sanlang from Pei Ning's family, Doctor Guanglu. Pei Sanlang has not yet reached the age of weak crown, and he has been an official to General Yunhui from the third rank. In the future, he will definitely accomplish a lot. Hearing that he was born handsome and extraordinary, He is an upright person, he never lingers in the place of fireworks, he is an upright and courteous little gentleman."

Hua Jiao raised his eyebrows, feeling incredible.

"Such a good young gentleman, he must be robbed mad by the little ladies in Lan'an, why is it my turn?"

Lin Gu looked at her with a look of resentment: "The Zheng family is an aristocratic family. Your father worships Zhong Shuling, and you are his only daughter. Why can't it be your turn?"

Hua Jiao frowned: "But my surname is Jiang. If I have a daughter after we get married, I will also be surnamed Jiang, so the Pei family will also be willing?"

She has always felt that for a woman like her, only when she meets a man who likes her, just like a father treats a mother, will she be willing to marry her.And she and Pei Jiasanlang have never met face to face.

Lin Gu sighed, was silent for a moment, and said: "Actually, Pei Sanlang was originally a concubine. After the death of the mistress of the Pei family, his mother was brought upright. I heard that his aunt's background is not very good, but this Pei Sanlang is a He is very competitive, more promising than his two elder brothers."

The picture is clear, it's not that she belittles herself, but that the marriages of these big families in Lan'an City are just like this.

His aunt was originally a concubine, although he was straightened up, but in terms of background, he was still a head lower than the two elder brothers above.Maybe it's because of this that she doesn't mind her family name after her grandfather's.

However, after hearing that he is more promising than his brothers, Hua Jiao is somewhat interested in him.

"Lin Gu, what is Pei Sanlang's name?"

Lin Gu smiled and said, "The name is nice too, Pei Ruzhi."

Pei Ru sent.

Hua Jiao held his lips and smiled, thinking of looking for an opportunity to take a look at this person another day.

Seeing the smile on her lips, Gu Lin knew that she had another evil idea, her heart skipped a beat, and she asked hesitantly: "My lady, let me tell you, you and him are just engaged now, and you have to maintain etiquette. In one place. Lan'an City is no different than the outside world, the reputation of the lady in the boudoir is important, so don't mess around."

Huajiao nodded obediently.

Lin Gu was still worried, and asked: "Do you know whether a man and a woman will be kissed or not?"

Huajiao suddenly thought of the young man in white clothes who had been flimsy by her in the peach blossom forest of Jiumian Mountain, and lowered her eyes with a guilty conscience.

If a man and a woman can't kiss each other, what if they do?
What about kissing after kissing?

Hua Jiao stretched out his hand to caress his lips, and asked cautiously: "Guy Lin, let me ask you, is there any crime of indecent assault in the laws of Lan'an City, and if it is committed, how will it be punished?"

Lin Gu looked at Hua Jiao with a strange expression, and slowly frowned.

"The crime of indecent assault, this servant knows." Xuexiu turned on the light, and the room suddenly lit up, "A few days ago, I heard that a young lady in the East City was molested in public, and was later captured by the imperial army. However, this slave feels that the crime of indecent assault depends on the intention of the person being molested, if he doesn't mind, then it's fine. But if he minds, I heard that he will be punished for one year in prison, and he will also be imprisoned for one year."

Huajiao's face changed slightly, it turned out that he would really go to jail.

Xuexiu suddenly understood something, and asked worriedly: "Little lady, could it be that you...have you been molested? Who is so bold?"

Lin Gu stared at the corner of the painting for a while, then rolled her sleeves and said, "I'm afraid it's just the opposite."

Hua Jiao hurriedly waved his hands: "Where is it? I'm just asking casually. I'm going to the West Mansion tomorrow, so I'll rest first." As he spoke, he was afraid that Aunt Lin would question him again, so he lay down on the bed and covered himself with a brocade quilt.

Lin Gu got up and tucked the quilt for her, shook her head helplessly, and retreated together with Xue Xiu.

***
The next day, Hua Jiao didn't go to the West Mansion, but Zhang Hui sent someone to send a message, saying that the matter of the Liang Pavilion was a bit tricky, and asked her to go there to make an idea.

Huajiao used Chaoshi, then took a carriage to Pinmoxuan.

Zhang Hui personally went to the Raoliang Pavilion in disguise last night, but he didn't find any trace of the demon, nor did he detect the demon's aura.He also deliberately went to Zuoernu's room, but he never saw any evil spirits in the room.

"However, by chance last night, I ran into a demon master I knew before outside the Raoliang Pavilion, and I found out something from him." Zhang Hui said in a low voice.

Hua Jiao frowned: "What's the matter?"

Zhang Hui said in a low voice: "A few days ago, he stalked a leopard monster. He was going to kill it. However, someone found him in private and asked for a monster. The price was very high, so he sold it. But in the end I felt something was wrong, so I followed the buyer secretly, and found that the person who bought the demon was the person from the Raoliang Pavilion."

Hua Jiao raised his eyebrows in surprise: "You mean, the owner of the Liangliang Pavilion bought a demon?"

Zhang Hui got up and walked a few steps in the room, and asked with a frown: "Leader, what do you think you are buying monsters around Liang Pavilion? Are they not afraid? Could it be that they bought the monster Zuo Ernu encountered, and was it just to scare his family?" A prostitute in the court?"

Ordinary people are not afraid of demons.

However, if the demon can bring them benefits, even if they are afraid, they will take the risk.

Huajiao murmured: "The owner of the Raoliang Pavilion opened a brothel to make money. Now buying monsters is probably also to make money. We might as well go and find out what they are doing."

"If it's really a monster bought by the owner of Pavilion Liang, it's very difficult for us to pretend to be prostitutes like last night. I'm afraid Zuo Ernu won't be able to do this job."

Hua Jiao smiled and said, "Let me go, I have my own way to sneak into the Raoliang Pavilion."
