Chapter 41
Chapter 41
After listening to Qing Yun's cry, Yun Ran didn't make any big moves. If Gu Chen hadn't been watching her secretly and could see her eyelashes still trembling, she would have suspected that this person was afraid of him. Not in samadhi, Gu Chen thought about it for a moment, and felt that he still had to talk.
Although according to Naquniang, the matter sponsored by the chief rudder is really outraged by heaven and earth, but it really has nothing to do with Yunran. When Fang was doing evil, Yun Ran was too busy to take care of himself, how could he have the time to supervise what he did?
As the saying goes, it's not too late to make up for it. Now that Yun Ran's deity is here, it's a different situation. Since those mistakes have been committed in the past, there is no need to be too entangled. Doing a good job is the right thing to do now.
Gu Chen considered his words, looked at Yun Ran's face and spoke, and saw Yun Ran smile at her while talking.It wasn't the kind of perfunctory smile that was forced to show, nor the kind of smile that was deliberately propped up for the sake of people's hearts. She just showed a faint smile very easily and naturally, as if she didn't take Qing Yun's words to heart.
But Gu Chen knew it wasn't. She listened to Qing Yun's words seriously and heard what was in her heart, but it seemed that Gu Chen underestimated her ability to bear it, or that Gu Chen overestimated the seriousness of this matter?She was a little puzzled.
"Young Master, you don't need to comfort me. If this matter is serious, I'm prepared." Yun Ran said, "The power of Tanyue Pavilion is scattered, and the major rudder masters are doing their own thing. No one is willing to convince anyone. What did you really do out of line? This matter is also the root of the weaknesses accumulated over the years, and it cannot be changed overnight."
Gu Chen's eyebrows twitched, and he suddenly asked: "What if it's not serious?"
"Chen Zhoufang disappears for a day, and a conclusion can't be drawn for a day." Yun Ran subconsciously squeezed her thumb. So far, all the evidence pointing to Chen Zhoufang is only the piles of ledgers, and the rest are all The words of others are not enough to be believed.And the only account book is too shallow.
"You mean there are other tricks in it?" Gu Chen was completely stunned, and couldn't imagine how Yunran would analyze these messy clues one by one, and then distinguish the true from the false.
The carriage was swaying, Yunran raised the curtain and could already see the two stone lions at the gate of the city lord's house. Someone was welcoming them outside the door, and it seemed that there was some posture. Yunran put down the curtain and said: "Jiangnan This place is mixed with fish and dragons. Chen Zhoufang has been the chief rudder here for more than [-] years. He is naturally not an ordinary person. If he can leave such a big hole for a fledgling girl like me, then the chief rudder It's too easy to sit in the seat." Yun Ran paused, and then said: "Besides, Chen Zhoufang is the last chief rudder promoted by my mother." Chen Zhoufang's current whereabouts are unknown, and Yun Ran is anxious Yes, she did doubt Chen Zhoufang, but she was still unwilling to give up this last hope!
Be on guard and be prepared, so that the hearts of the subordinates will not be chilled, and no one will stab her secretly.The so-called listening together means that before meeting Chen Zhoufang himself, Yunran will not make this decision lightly.
In the end, her mother promoted Chen Zhoufang to stay in the base camp in Jiangnan, didn't she just want Chen Zhoufang to let her keep this fortune?Although times have changed and things have changed, even Jiyue, who has always been loyal, can't wait to cut her flesh and blood and drink her blood, but in fact, these people have never deviated from their original intentions.
Just like Jiyue wanted her to die only for Tanyue Pavilion, what Yunran Chen Zhoufang's original intention is is unknown at the moment, but she doesn't mind taking a gamble to block her mother's knowledge of Chen Zhoufang Grace!
The Lord of Tai'an City is also a person who does not get involved in Jianghu affairs. This time, he heard that the Lord of the Tanyue Pavilion came to visit in person. The courtesy is full of courtesy, but there is nothing more.The old city lord grabbed a handful of beards and chatted with Yunran about the young talents in the world today, and praised the guardians around Yunran all over the place. Finally, the topic fell on his prospective daughter-in-law. He expressed his love for his daughter-in-law without hesitation, and by the way, he was annoyed that he should not have used the family as a prejudice that day, which hindered the marriage of the young couple. There is shame, but also from the heart.
"Ah Ying is naturally excellent." After hearing what his father said, Young Master Qi couldn't help interjecting: "It's my father's prejudice. If it wasn't for my wife's persuasion, you would have suffered a great loss!"
Hearing this, Gu Chen stopped holding the chopsticks for a moment, and turned his questioning eyes to that Mr. Qi Yue Qi.If it wasn't for sitting so close, she would have doubted whether the scholar she saw flirting with Qu Niang in the restaurant that day was the gentle and gentle young master Qi in front of her. This, it is too unbelievable. The son has a special liking, so why are you flirting outside?
Man nature?Thinking about Gu Chen's goosebumps all over his body, when he regained his senses, he didn't know where the topic had strayed.
"Ah, the pavilion master talked about the Zhesha Island." Gu Chen listened to the old city owner's sloppy eyes and said: "I have heard of this Zhesha Island, but I don't know much about it. The Zhesha Island was only developed in the last half a year." They appear frequently, and I heard that there have been several conflicts with people on shore, but I don't know much about this. This is all dealt with by my future in-laws, but Zhou Fang is usually busy with affairs, and we don't have much time to see them again. Let's drink and chat together. No, Zhou Fang went out this time and didn't know what to do, and he hasn't come back yet. I have made a list of guests, and I just wait for him to come back and have a look."
Pushing two five six is clean and neat. The old city lord speaks impeccably, Gu Chen can't hear anything at all. It is a fact that Chen Zhoufang and him are future in-laws. They all expressed that although they are in-laws with Chen Zhoufang, they are just in-laws, and they don't have time to drink together, let alone other things!
"Then the city owner has to add one more seat to the list." Yun Ran smiled, and no longer mentioned the matter of Zheshazhou. The old city owner is like a fox, no matter what he knows or not, he wants to get something out of him It's not simple, at least it's not just a meal, Yun Ran simply stopped asking.
"Yunran has lived in Kyoto for a long time, and it's hard to meet a happy event. I must stay here to enjoy the joy."
"The pavilion master can't even invite you here. It's my honor, my honor." The old pavilion master gave his son a wink: "Yueer, I still haven't thanked the pavilion master."
"Thank you Pavilion Master." The joy on Qi Yue's face did not seem to be fake: "The Pavilion Master is willing to come, Ah Ying must be happy!"
Gu Chen held the wine glass and silently passed it to his lips, looking at the joy in Qi Yue's eyes, a little lost in thought.
Just as he was saying this, he saw a few young girls in pink clothes holding some soup in their hands, and they came to Yunran with a smile on their hands. They first saluted Yunran in a proper manner, and then explained: " My wife heard that the master of the Tanyue Pavilion was coming, and she was afraid that the people below would neglect the master, so she ordered me to add food to the master." While talking, the little maids behind Zhang Luo came in one after another, not too much effort, A few more dishes were placed in front of Yunran, and finally the leading woman served a piece of pigeon soup herself. As soon as the porcelain pot was opened, she filled Yunran with the soup with a white porcelain spoon, and the tangy aroma , Gu Chen couldn't help moving his nose.
This can of soup is really exquisite. When Gu Chen smelled it, he could smell at least 28 kinds of ingredients. They all said that medicine is not as good as food. If you drink this can of pigeon soup, Yunran won't have to drink soup when he goes back at night. It's not just nourishing, it's really nourishing. If this soup can be drunk for a month or two, Yunran's small bones will definitely fatten her up!Of course, this soup is not something you can drink casually. Among other things, as far as the 28 ingredients are concerned, some people may not be able to collect them all in 28 years.
It's a big deal, it's really a big deal!
"Madam is eccentric!" The old city lord sighed, and then saw the leading woman bowed her head and smiled, and gave him another bowl before smiling contentedly: "Okay, ma'am is a good crafter."
Qi Yue on the side was about to speak, but finally smiled wryly and shook his head: "Father, don't be like this, I will marry Ah Ying soon, and Ah Ying can also make soup." Although he was envious, it was very sweet.
With a dazed effort by Gu Chen, a white porcelain bowl appeared in front of him, and the heat of the pigeon soup came directly to the surface. He raised his head to look at Yunran, and saw that the woman who spoke before immediately filled Yunran with another bowl of soup. The words were very polite: "My wife heard that the pavilion master is weak, and this pigeon soup was stewed by the lady herself. She said that the pavilion master came from the capital, and she should make up for it after running around for days."
"Madam is biased." The old city lord sighed again.
Yun Ran looked at the can of pigeon soup, with a gentle smile on the corner of her mouth: "Madam Lao has a heart, and Madam Lao misses it."
"Should be."
"Madam takes such care, but Yun Ran doesn't know what to do. I don't know if I can greet Madam in person?" Yun Ran said again.
When Gu Chen heard this, the hand holding the spoon stopped in mid-air.The pigeon soup is really delicious and very nourishing. Could it be that some old friend of Yunran didn't work so hard?If she has an old friend or the wife of the city lord, wouldn't their trip save a lot of trouble?Got a lot of news?
However, Gu Chen was still wrong, not only Gu Chen, but Yun Ran was also wrong.
"I-I'm really sorry." The woman bowed to Yunran again with an apologetic face: "Madam is not in good health, and I don't see any outsiders. I'll convey the pavilion master's wishes on my behalf."
The old city lord also hurriedly said: "Yes, yes, my wife is getting old, this person is getting old, his body is not good, his legs are not good, he doesn't like to go out, Yun Ran, come another day Look, I'll see you another day. Hehe."
"Father, be careful with what you say." The young master Qi on the side sneered a bit: "Why don't you trouble me, I'm getting married soon, and I'm counting on my wife to give me some money to organize the wedding."
"Bastard, get out of here." The old city lord blew on his beard and stared.
Gu Chen put down the spoon in his hand: "Coincidentally, I come from the Valley of Medicine. I don't know what's wrong with Madam. Gu Chen has practiced medicine for many years, so I can check Madam's pulse."
"This," the old city lord Yanyan swallowed, glanced at Gu Chen, cleared his throat and deliberately pretended to lower his voice, "Then what, the old clam is just pregnant, everyone, don't talk nonsense, you know?"
"Pfft!" Qi Yue spat out the tea he just drank in his mouth, and looked at the old city owner in shock: "Father..." Shen Yan, you don't want to live anymore?
"Hey, I've been hiding this from my son, I'm making you laugh." The old city lord immediately said to the women in a serious manner: "Okay, okay, the soup has been delivered, and the pavilion master has also seen it. Go back and report back, tell Madam to rest well, understand?"
Gu Chen could clearly see that the corners of the mouths of those people were holding back their smiles, and their footsteps were hurried before leaving, it could be seen that they were holding back their laughter and were about to die.
The meal was almost finished, but more questions arose. The old city lord sent the person out politely. Before leaving, he patted Yunran on the shoulder, sighed for his youth and promise, and finally said something.
"The Zheshazhou place is very dangerous, the pavilion master should be careful!" Gu Chen thought about this sentence, as if he got back that bowl of pigeon soup, and became more and more curious about the wife of the city lord.
Yunran got into the carriage with these words in his mouth, but before he could understand, the carriage was stopped by someone again, this time he was an acquaintance.
The gentle scholar was obviously out of breath while riding on the horse. Yunran raised the curtain of the car and looked at his young face with a more nervous expression, remembering her hint to him during the banquet, and asked Qingyuan to give him the things in private, Thinking of that sentence before leaving, he forgot that Mr. Qi still had a reply letter to bring, so he said with a smile: "Look at me, I have a bad memory, I almost forgot, Mr. Qi, take care of me."
"Where is it? I am the one who troubled the pavilion master. I went back and wrote a letter, that, please trouble the pavilion master." Qi Yue handed a small box to Yunran: "The pavilion master brought this together to Ah Ying That's good, I, I have time to see her."
Gu Chen said coldly: "Isn't it forbidden to meet before the wedding?"
"That, that," Qi Yue was obviously a little nervous: "If we don't meet, if we don't meet, my father is still waiting for me. I dare not delay the Pavilion Master any longer. Pavilion Master, go slowly."
Seeing the scholar's back walking away, Yun Ran put the small box aside, and asked Gu Chen in a puzzled tone: "What are you doing for him? It's ridiculous not to be allowed to meet before the big marriage. Their little lover can't bear it." How can it get in the way if you don't know about it once you see it?"
Gu Chen leaned against the car wall and sighed: "You don't understand."
Yun Ran grabbed her dress and stopped talking. She really didn't understand, she really didn't understand, and she would rather not understand, but some things backfired on her!
