good meal

Chapter 277
Chu Liangrao obviously wouldn't stay to watch a play with two women, so he made one point and said he wanted to go back home.

"Oh, I was negligent!" cried a little exaggeratedly, and Gu said with concern: "Don't worry, this is silver carbon."

Hearing this, Mama Du's expression became a little unnatural, but seeing that Chu Liangrao was still calm, she simply pretended not to hear it.

Chu Liangrao smiled, and said, "If mother doesn't tell, Ah Rao really doesn't know that this is actually silver carbon."

Gu's expression froze for a moment, and he said: "You child always stretches out your clothes and opens your mouth, so you don't know."

"Mother's words are wrong. Ah Rao married someone to take care of the house after all. Naturally, we can distinguish the firewood, rice, oil and salt. As for whether this is silver carbon..." After a meaningful pause, Chu Liangrao stood up She said, "Since my mother said yes, so be it, it's getting late, and Ah Rao won't stay any longer."

After finishing speaking, Chu Liangrao saluted dignifiedly, then left with the hand of Mother Du.

After listening to it for a while, Mrs. Xia only felt embarrassed. She forced a smile and said, "The Princess is really good at joking."

"Yes." Gu replied vaguely, and looked aside unnaturally.

This little action was noticed by Xia Shi, and she couldn't help but thump in her heart. Could it be that the charcoal that the princess sent her was not silver charcoal?Wouldn't it be in vain for me to be so grateful to Dade?
However, due to Gu's identity, Xia did not ask directly, but after Gu left, she turned out all the clothes that Gu sent and put them in a package.After thinking about it, the Xia family put the clothes that Chu Liangrao sent into the package, planning to go out tomorrow and let the experts help to see if the mother and daughter are using inferior goods to perfuse themselves.

After tidying up for a long time, a fine layer of sweat appeared on Xia's head, but she still didn't feel tired, so she flipped through the dressing box and found the golden step that Gu gave her two days ago.

She weighed the weight, feeling agitated in her heart, she still regarded it as picking up a treasure, but don't worry about all these things.

But it's impossible to go out now, after absent-mindedly eating dinner, Xia called his son Huo Taihuan to his side and said, "Why did you hide and go back to sleep when the princess came today? How many times have I said it, you, show off!" Performance, there will be a good job for you in the future."

"Mother, don't coax me, I'm not a three-year-old child anymore." Huo Taihuan muttered and asked, "Mother, what are you doing packing up? Are you going back?"

"It's nothing, just take it out and have a look." Xia Shi said.

"Oh." With a muffled reply, Huo Taihuan said, "Mother, it's okay, I'll go back."

Hearing this, Xia's expression filled with hatred: "You don't know how to change it after saying it many times. You eat and sleep every day, and you don't know how to plan and plan. How can you get ahead?"

"What else can you do besides reading?" Huo Taihuan said impatiently, "I'm not familiar with the place in Kyoto, and it's rare to go out for a meal and feel ashamed. What else can I do if I don't eat and sleep!?"

Hearing Huo Taihuan's old story brought up again, Xia felt very uncomfortable. She said: "It's obvious that the store has no eyes, but you still blame your mother? It's not that mother said you. If you don't go out to drink flower wine, mother can still have money to take you Go out for a stroll, and now you have spent all the money, what else can I do?" Taking out the handkerchief and covering her face, Xia family cried out, "Why do I have such a hard life, raising you who is so unworthy? Rebel."

This is not the first time seeing her wipe tears, Huo Taihuan curled his lips indifferently, and said: "Mother may not be any better than a son like me." After finishing speaking, he strode back to the house. Let's talk about Xia Shi again.

Xia grabbed the handkerchief in his hand, trembling with anger: "It's really impossible to teach! Just say a few words and run away, I really don't know whose temper!"

Full of complaints, Xia could only talk to himself, his mouth dry.

Picking up the cold tea at hand and swallowing it, Xia Shi called the servant girl to come in to add some tea, and said: "I'm going out tomorrow, so I don't need you to follow, just take care of the young master."

The servant girl didn't say a word, she refilled the tea and retreated.

Only when Xia Shi heard that she drank a cup of hot tea did she calm down a bit of resentment.

The next day, the Xia family woke up very early in the morning, so she didn't care about the early morning, so she went out with that plain and unpretentious baggage in her arms.Looking around, Xia Shi hugged the bundle in her arms tightly, walking towards a clothing store based on memory.

Although Mrs. Xia was careful in every possible way, she still followed her tail. Seeing Mrs. Xia walking into a clothing store, the man stopped.

After Xia Shi came out with a complicated expression, he stepped into the shop and asked about the reason.

After hearing about the purpose of Xia's visit, this person went to Huo's mansion to report without saying a word. At this time, Chu Liangrao had just had breakfast, and knowing that it was from Xia's side, he asked Madam Du to ask what happened. thing.

After a while, Madam Du came back and said to Chu Liangrao: "This Mrs. Xia is very considerate. She just took the clothes from the princess and went to the clothing store to ask the price. The shopkeeper told her that those clothes were The old style, and the material is not high-quality. She took the squirrel fur jacket from the princess and asked if it was worthless. The shopkeeper told her that this one was more decent than the pile she brought out, and then Mrs. Xia changed her face."

"It's not in vain that I specifically mentioned her." Chu Liangrao said.

"This time, the concubine's calculation was wrong. With Mrs. Xia's mind, how could she be so determined to associate with the concubine?"

Chu Liangrao shook his head and said, "That's not necessarily the case. You know, Mrs. Xia can only rely on her mother right now. Even if her mother doesn't treat her sincerely, if she pretends to be ignorant, she can still get along with her. As for There are benefits to this as well.”

After hearing Chu Liangrao's analysis, Madam Du couldn't help but sigh: "Why hasn't the person I'm looking for come yet?"

"When Ding Er comes back, there should be news."

Not long after talking, a servant came to spread the word that Ding Er had returned.

Chu Liangrao's first impression was to say Cao Cao. When Cao Cao arrived, she asked, "He came back alone?"

"Yes."

After bowing his head and thinking for a while, Chu Liangrao said, "Let him wait outside, I'll come right away."

Putting on the hood, pulling her hair out from the clothes, and combing it with a comb, Chu Liangrao came out to see Ding Er.

"Princess." Ding Er leaned over to salute.

"Mianli, what's the matter? Did you find someone?" Chu Liangrao asked.

Ding Er replied: "The little one has failed the princess's expectations. Although he hastened his horse, he didn't find out where he went. I heard that he left with someone on the day of heavy snowfall, but where did he go?" Nobody knows."

Where would a normal person go out in a snowy day?This is really strange.

Could it be that there was trouble, or an accident?
If it's the former, it's okay to say, but if it's the latter, I'm afraid it will be difficult to find someone.

Putting fingers on the hand stove, Chu Liangrao said, "Who wouldn't want him to come?"

"This little one has thought about it too. Mrs. Xia is the one who doesn't want people to come the most, but Mrs. Xia doesn't know about this matter. As for who else..." Ding Er hesitated to speak.

Chu Liangrao also understood why Ding Er stopped talking, because the other suspect was Mrs. Gu, Ding Er was just a servant after all, how could he say anything wrong with the princess.

Chu Liangrao didn't intend to ask, but said: "This matter was arranged by the county horse, no one should know."

This is another suspicious point. If it wasn't for Huo Tainan's letter to him at the beginning, Chu Liangrao would not have known that he had made arrangements in advance, but now that he was about to enter Beijing, he was taken away halfway. This is really embarrassing It's unbelievable.

The only thing that can be explained is that there are spies around Huo Tainan, but Mo Qing is the most trusted person around Huo Tainan, could it be him?
This thought made Chu Liangrao startled, if Mo Qing was really a spy, then if she asked Mo Qing to find Huo Tainan, wouldn't it be letting the tiger go back to the mountain?But soon she calmed down. From Huo Tainan's point of view, she shouldn't be mistaken for someone. It's obvious to all what kind of person Mo Qing is, so it shouldn't be Mo Qing.

But who would it be if it wasn't Mo Qing?Obviously, this person must be someone close to Huo Tainan, and he knows Huo Tainan's arrangements very well, so he will be a hindrance.

That being the case, then this matter has nothing to do with Gu Shi, she should be the beneficiary of the benefits, but the instigator is still behind the scenes.But who would mess with their own housework?

Chu Liangrao thought for a while, and said to Ding Er: "Send a few more people to look for it, and get someone to bring a letter, and go to my grandfather's hometown to find another elder, preferably the patriarch."

After hearing the arrangement, Ding Er suggested: "Princess, please tell the prince about this matter, otherwise I'm afraid there will be insufficient manpower."

Knowing Ding Er's worry, Chu Liangrao nodded and said, "It looks like I'm going to trouble my father again."

"Princess, don't worry, if you can help the princess, the prince will only be happy, and there will be no trouble." Ding Er said sincerely.

Chu Liangrao's heart warmed, this man and Huo Tainan were the only ones in this world who could take care of her without expecting anything in return. How lucky was she to have their care?
On the same day, Ding Er reported to Chu Chaoyang, but this time, his rhetoric was different from that of Chu Liangrao.

"I heard that it was taken away by a handsome man. My lord, I doubt that it will be Daban Xiao. He has some friendship with the county matriarch. With his skills, you should know that this matter is easy to catch."

Mentioning this, Chu Chaoyang's face became a bit more dignified. Now that Xiao Mingyue is a pawn of the queen, could it be that he wanted to harm Huo Tainan by making this move?In any case, Huo Tainan was the son-in-law of King Ming Yang, so Chu Chaoyang would not just sit idly by, and arranged for people to find him that day.

On the other hand, Chu Liangrao asked Zhu Xiucai to go, and hired two skilled men from the bodyguard bureau, and then handed over the task of recruiting them.
