The Reborn Concubine Returns

Chapter 169: Zhang Yangzhou

On Bai Qingran's side, because of Gu Qingping's arrogance, he told Chong Jin about Situ Mu in the capital.Chong Jin was so happy that he played around with Gu Qingping's words, since the two of you are not in such a hurry to go back, why don't you go to Yangzhou with me to have fun first, and then drive towards the capital, which will not only make Xiao Wouldn't it be great if Ran'er and Xiao Lizi were reunited, and they could delay their return to Beijing for a few days?

Gu Qingping drank a lot that day, holding the flagon and tilting his head to think about it, it seemed that there was nothing wrong.So he agreed to Chong Jin's idea that sounded perfect.

On the second day, after Gu Qingping sobered up, it was too late to regret.Because Chongjin had already talked to Bai Qingran early in the morning, and why Gu Qingping sobered up so quickly after a hangover was also because Bai Qingran came head-on in the early morning of winter. A cup of herbal tea.

Although it was true that he did not rush back to Beijing, it was only because Gu Qingping and Chongjin did not act like monsters.It's just that Bai Qingran's fantasy was ruthlessly broken by the two of them just after they set off.

Gu Qingping is a person who likes to join in the fun and meddle in other things, he has to stop and take a look at everything he encounters, not to mention meeting a confidant like Chong Jin who is a good thing, the two of them can be regarded as like-minded along the way.They have to take care of whatever matters are trivial, why the big lady in this village has less eggs, and the piglet in that family is lost, and these two confidantes who are brave (too idle) will stay overnight until the end of the day Help the uncle and aunt to solve it.

Therefore, the speed of returning to Beijing this time was so slow that Bai Qingran wanted to smash the heads of the two of them.

Bai Qingran pinched the empty cup in her hand, and looked at Gu Qingping with a masked face viciously.Why doesn't he remember that the prince was so carefree in his previous life?Instead of worrying about state affairs, fighting between the government and the public, he spent all his energy on eating, drinking, and having fun. The appearance of the second-generation ancestor was so alive that Old General Gu saw him, and he could peel off his skin.

It's just that hating iron can't make steel is hating iron can't make steel. On the surface, Bai Qingran complained that Gu Qingping and Chong Jin had slowed down the schedule, but in his heart he still wanted to go back to Jiangnan very much.

Bai Qingran estimated that since he left Jiangnan with Gu Qingping in this life, he has been entangled in various things, and he has not had time to go back to see Gu Li. Bai Qingran is also very concerned about this. Ci Chongjin's mischief with Gu Qingping happened to give him a chance to get together with Gu Li.

Moreover, when it comes to Jiangnan, what Bai Qingran is looking forward to more faintly is the Bai Fusheng who has never existed in his memory in the ten-mile peach forest.Thinking of the father whom she had never met, Bai Qingran's heart also felt a little turbulent.

In Situ Mu's Juhuayuan of Gu's Mansion, all the flowers and plants in the courtyard were wiped clean, and the howling cold wind swept the few dead leaves in the bleak courtyard.In Situ Mu's room, the warm-colored doors and windows were tightly locked, and the charcoal fire in the room was burning hot.

"Is this book sent by my father?"

Situ Mu was sitting by the charcoal fire, his fair and tender face was a little reddened by the flames, against the backdrop of his pale face, his blushing face was a bit abrupt.Situ Mu's watery eyes were fixed on the letter in his hand, his black eyebrows that had been drawn in detail were twisted together, and he raised his eyes to stare at Xingyu who had been silent all the time, trying to find out from Xingyu's face What's wrong, but Xingyu just turned his body slightly and answered yes, without any superfluous look.

Situ Mu didn't ask any further questions, he opened the letter again, glanced up and down, then put the letter in the stove and lit it.The off-white letter paper burned quickly under the tongue of fire. Situ Mu stared at the letter paper that had been reduced to a mass of ashes in the stove, glanced at it, clapped his hands, and ordered Xingyu to open the west window.

"Xingyu, do you think father is too impatient this time?"

Situ Mu walked to the window, saw the few remaining leaves on the branch, smiled slightly, then suddenly turned around to look at Xingyu not far behind, and asked with a smile.

"Miss, the matter between you and the master, the servants are dull, they don't understand, and dare not talk about it."

Although Xing Yu was taken aback by Situ Mu's sudden rise, she quickly reacted, following her usual respectful attitude towards Situ Mu, she blurted out with a low eyebrow.

"Hehe, you girl, you are self-effacing at this time, don't worry, say boldly, there are only two of us here, and I won't punish you if you make a mistake."

Situ Mu seemed to have expected Xing Yu's reaction early on, but this time he did not let Xing Yu go easily, although his tone was still calm, but his eyes were fixed on Xing Yu.

Situ Mu's attitude of relentless pursuit made Xingyu a little dazed. She asked herself that she had done a little hastily with the accounts, and that she hadn't made any mistakes in other things. This Situ Mu always had his eyes above the top. , why did he suddenly stare at her?Could it be that she has become suspicious of herself?Although Xingyu also had many doubts in his heart, before Situ Mu expressed his attitude, Xingyu suppressed his doubts and frowned, as if he was thinking for a while before slowly answering.

"The master's order this time is indeed a bit urgent. When you were still sick, miss, the master also urged me several times. Just think about it, miss. The master has always been far-sighted. This time, the urging is a bit urgent. There must be a reason for the master. According to the servants, it may be that the envoy is coming soon, and the master must be impatient."

Xingyu said this carefully, and pushed the previous account matters to Situ Hui, picking himself up clean.But it wasn't a complete flattery and cowardice, but it pointed out the reason why Situ Hui was so anxious to urge Situ Mu to quickly grasp the financial affairs of the Gu family this time.

After listening to Xing Yu's words, Situ Mu laughed silently.He didn't say much, he just praised Xingyu a few words and then put the matter in a perfunctory way, and when he was exhausted, he let Xingyu back down.

Situ Mu sat at the table with his eyes closed, and after listening to Xing Yu's exit, the wooden door creaked and opened his eyes slowly.The black eyes are like a pool of deep water, calm and without waves, but also like countless turbulent undercurrents hidden, making it difficult for people to see what is concealed.
