Twin Brocade

Chapter 264

Under the cover of the darkness, the corners of Xiang Lan's mouth turned up slightly, and said, "Well, it must be my eyesight."

In the early morning of the next day, Fang Jinshu received a letter from Sansheng Nunnery.

She opened it and looked at it, and said to herself with a happy expression: "Is it finally unbearable?" She wrote a letter with a pen, dried the ink, sealed it with sealing wax, and handed it to someone to bring it back.

Xiang Lan received Fang Jinshu's order and threw the letter into the charcoal basin, pretending that nothing happened.I only changed the boots for long distances in the dark, and put the money properly.

In the afternoon, Fang Jinpei lied to the nun in charge that she had a stomachache, and instead of going back to her room to pack her clothes, she hurriedly slipped through the back corner door.She hadn't been able to bring anything to Sansheng Nunnery, but she had collected a few valuable things last night and hid them close to her body.

As for the things that she only used after she came to Sansheng Nunnery, she hated them so much that she still had the slightest nostalgia for them.When she thought about it, she was going to live a good life this time, so there was no use for these junk things.

Xiang Lan followed Fang Jinpei's carriage to a village in the eastern suburbs.After waiting for another night, seeing that Fang Jinpei hadn't come out, he went back to Fang's mansion to report.

Two days later, Xiang Lan returned to Fang's house again, and said, "Girl, my family has found out clearly. The other courtyard is in the name of the village head, but it is actually the property of the Li family."

"The Li family?"

Hearing this name, Fang Jinshu was startled.The clues that she remembered so well were now strung together by an invisible thread, becoming extremely clear.

"Well done." Fang Jinshu said: "Thanks to you." If the two people sent by Princess Jing'an were not capable, when would she be able to find out that it was originally the property of the Li family.

Xiang Lan didn't know what she understood, but it seemed that she had made significant progress.She respectfully said: "The servant girl dare not take the credit, thanks to the young lady's good scheduling."

"Fang Fei, go and get my dowry box." Fang Fei took the order and left.

"Girl, the servant girl came here at the order of the princess, so I don't dare to be a reward for the girl." Xiang Lan repeatedly declined.

Fang Jinshu smiled and said: "This is different. Since I have made meritorious service, I should be rewarded. Do I have to be stingy with this little reward when I borrowed from the princess's mother-in-law? How can I have the face to go to the princess' mansion next time?"

Fang Fei brought the box, and Fang Jinshu picked up a red gold red treasure peony hairpin and gave it to Xiang Lan, saying: "Take it carefully. Your husband's share will be rewarded together after the work is done."

When she came to work for Fang Jinshu, Princess Jing'an had told her husband and wife to take good care of her, and she would be rewarded after completing the errands and returning home.If Fang Jinshu rewards again here, it will be double.

Although Xiang Lan is not the kind of person who is greedy, but it is always a good thing for the master to have rewards, and it is also the reason why they do well in their errands.He smiled and thanked him for accepting it, and he was extra careful when doing business.

"Trouble you to keep guarding. If there are not enough people, I will transfer you. If anyone goes to the Zhuangzi, or Fang Jinpei comes out, you should report it quickly."

"Yes! Girl." Xiang Lan took the order and left.

After Xiang Lan left, Fang Jinshu ordered: "Fang Fei, change my clothes for me, I'm going to see my father."

When they arrived at the study, Fang Shuyu hadn't come back from the office yet.Fang Jinshu asked Fang Fei to stand guard at the door, and sent a servant to wait at the door, and whenever Fang Shuyu returned home, he was invited to come to the study first.

She picked up the ink stick by herself, poured water into the koi lotus leaf inkstone, and slowly grinded the ink.

While grinding the ink, she sorted out the thoughts in her mind, thought through everything, and her thoughts became clearer.It's just that in this whole thing, there are still some key points shrouded in fog and inconsistencies.

She was obsessed with turning the ink stick slowly in one direction, and the black ink gradually stained the clear water black.When the ink is thick but not greasy, as silky as juice, I pick up the pen and start writing.

Fang Jin wrote so intently that he didn't even notice Fang Shuyu had entered the door.Of course, this is also because she doesn't have to take any precautions in this study.

Sensing Fang Shuyu's shadow cast towards the desk, Fang Jinshu stopped writing, and politely said: "My daughter has something to report."

Fang Shuyu nodded, walked to her side and looked at the piece of paper she had just finished writing.At first, I just glanced at it briefly, and then it seemed as if I was trapped in it, and the more I looked, the more focused I became.

After reading all of them, his complexion became gloomy, he slammed his palm on the desk, and said in a cold voice: "Li Qing! I thought he was different, but I never thought he was the same as those children of the aristocratic family!"

Li Qing is the most outstanding child cultivated by the Li family of Zhao County over the years.Like Fang Shuyu, he was not born as a direct descendant, but he was fully cultivated by the family.

In the Hanlin Academy, because of the similarities in their life experiences, the two of them got to know each other better than others, and they got along very well when they had occasional small gatherings.Fang Shuyu regarded the other party as a close friend, and never thought that behind this incident, he was actually playing tricks.

"I misread the person." He turned his head to look at Fang Jinshu, and praised: "Fortunately, I have a good daughter like you, otherwise I would be kept in the dark as a father."

Fang Jinshu said crisply: "My daughter dare not take the credit, that's why father trusts her."

Let me ask, which family's right to speak is not in the hands of men?In the words of a woman, whether it is a wife or a daughter, which man would trust such a big event to a young girl to carry out.

Listening and employing people without doubt have always been Fang Shuyu's strengths.

Although he was not in power at this time, such excellent qualities could already be seen in him.

"Shu girl don't need to be self-effacing." Fang Shuyu said: "If it wasn't for you, I would never have suspected him. He has a distant relationship with the Li family, so how could he fight for a position in the imperial edict? Use such despicable methods."

For scholar-bureaucrats, they have the pride of being scholars.It is absolutely disdainful to destroy other people's marriages to achieve one's own goals through the private means of the back house.

How could someone like Li Qing do such a thing?

Fang Shuyu frowned, he couldn't get out of his own train of thought, so he couldn't figure it out.

"Father's words are wrong." Fang Jinshu said slowly: "Master Li may not want to, but everyone can see the interests represented by this position, and the Li family will not think about it."

"My daughter thinks that the relationship between Master Li and the Li family may not be what it seems on the surface." Fang Jinshu lowered his voice, and said, "Both the former emperor and the emperor didn't like being in a family. Lu, naturally cannot have close contact with the Li family."

"But who knows what's going on in private? Even the emperor can't have thousands of hands and eyes to see these small movements clearly."

It is precisely because of this that the late emperor formed the shadow guards, who are only loyal to the emperor.This organization became bigger and more sophisticated in the hands of Emperor Qinglong, and it was the emperor's most secret weapon.
