Wishful Things

"Of course, whether this Cai Jin came for this so-called heirloom is just a guess at the moment." Zhen Guogong said: "But during the period before and after King Yan's entry into Beijing, we must pay more attention to it."

Xu Mingyi nodded in agreement, and said, "However, Cai Jin's intentions still need to be ascertained, so that we can prescribe the right medicine."

For example, will Cai Jin do what Zhan Yunzhu did in the previous life——

In the previous life, King Jing, who was demoted to a commoner because of his involvement in the murder of the prince, went crazy, and revealed that the murder of the prince was instigated by her grandfather.

Then, in order to prove her grandfather's 'innocence', His Majesty ordered a thorough investigation of the town government's mansion.

As a result, evidence of collusion with the enemy and treason by the Zhen Guo government was found.

And it was a long time later that she learned that this criminal evidence was written by Zhan Yunzhu.

Although today is different from the past, the Xu family's army still belongs to the Duke of Zhenguo, no matter what, the emperor would never dare to repeat his old tricks at this time and unscrupulously charge their Xu family with the crime of collaborating with the enemy - after all, the emperor did not dare to rush Get rid of them, so that the situation really gets out of control.

It can also be seen from this how important it is to hold military power in your hands.

Especially when you are facing an unreasonable beast, having a knife in your hand is the only bargaining chip you can use to win.

But the other party dare not return, there is nothing wrong with being more cautious.

Therefore, she must find out Cai Jin's real purpose before she can feel at ease.

"Of course we need to investigate." Zhen Guogong said: "But don't be in a hurry for these few days, and let her suffer for a while."

When a person's patience is exhausted, it is the easiest to show flaws, and it is also the most suitable to start questioning.

This is the experience he has gained from interrogating secret agents and enemy troops in the army over the years.

"Why don't we leave this matter to our granddaughter?" Xu Mingyi recommended himself.

Lord Zhen Guo looked at her when he heard the words, nodded with a smile and said, "Okay, I'll leave it to you to figure out what to do, if you need grandfather to do something, just tell me."

Looking at the old man in front of him, Xu Mingyi still said, "Grandfather, thank you."

Grandfather not only pampered her, but trusted her. And it doesn't matter how big or small, even if it's just a word from her, grandfather never treats it perfunctorily.

It may be common for elders to love or even dote on their children, but this kind of love is not just to make the children happy, but to take everything that respects the children seriously, which is rare and rare.

In her heart, she has the best grandfather in the world.

"What a silly child..." Listening to her repeatedly saying "thank you", Lord Zhen smiled helplessly and shook his head.

The dim afterglow reflected in the study room, making the scene of the grandparents and grandchildren sitting quietly and drinking tea even more warm.

After sitting like this for another quarter of an hour, Xu Mingyi finally returned to Xi Garden.

After returning to the courtyard, the first thing she did was to enter the study and write letters.

After sealing the envelope with his own hands, Xu Mingyi handed the letter to Ah Kui.

"Send it to Xuesheng Tea House."

"Hey!" Ah Kui responded crisply.

Since it was sent to Xuesheng Tea House, there was no need to ask who it was for.

Speaking of which, it has been a long time since she delivered a letter to Xuesheng Tea House.

When Ah Kui arrived, there was no one in the restaurant to greet her.

The business of the teahouse was normal, and it was winter night, and there were not many customers coming. The hall was deserted, and the waiter, Shou Ming, was dozing off behind the counter with a blanket on his lap.

Ah Kui walked over and knocked on the counter.

Shou Ming woke up immediately, bared his teeth and showed his trademark smile, and only had time to say the word "guest"——

"Girl Aoi!"

He immediately stood up, and the smile was obviously more pleasantly surprised and real: "Why is this hour here?"

"My girl asked me to deliver the letter." Ah Kui handed the letter over with a smile.

Shou Ming accepted it in surprise, with even more smiles in his eyes: "Miss Xu has returned to Beijing?"

He also knew that Miss Xu from Zhen Guogong's mansion went to Linyuan to offer sacrifices to her grandfather.

It's just that Miss Xu has been there for nearly a month. During this entire month, he was worried every day, for fear that Miss Xu would be attracted by other handsome men in Linyuan.

So I can't help but always worry that if Miss Xu comes back, she won't write letters to their grandchildren, what should I do if I forget their grandchildren?

Although it is a little humble to say so, who told them to count on Miss Xu, a living Bodhisattva, to enlighten their grandchildren.

Fortunately, Miss Xu still remembers their grandchildren.

Holding the envelope in his hand, Shou Ming breathed a sigh of relief in his heart.

"Yes, I just came back today." Ah Kui said, "You take this letter well, and I will go back first."

"Is this going back?"

Shou Ming chased him out from behind the counter, and said, "I've been inquiring about a lot of fresh gossip recently, Miss Ah Kui, won't you listen to it today?"

"Come back another day, our girl just came back today." Ah Kui waved to him with a smile, and left briskly.

Shou Ming couldn't help sighing and smiling when he saw that the little maid's back was showing no nostalgia.

It seems that no matter how exciting his gossip is, it is still far less important than her girl.

Watching the carriage leave and taking a look at the deserted street, Shou Ming turned off the light in the front hall, and bolted the door of the teahouse from the inside.

Now it's the end of the new year, and the shopkeeper said that from tomorrow onwards, the teahouse will be closed for business, and it will not open until the fifth day of the lunar new year.

In the blink of an eye, seven or eight days passed, and soon it was New Year's Eve.

The weather has been rare and sunny in recent days, and after the sky darkened, the sky was filled with stars.

Inside and outside the capital, the high-hanging lanterns seem to dispel the darkness of the night. In the long streets and alleys, children chase and play with lit lanterns. Occasionally, the sound of firecrackers is heard, and the adults who pass by the firecrackers laugh and curse in surprise.

Inside the Zhen Guogong's mansion, the surroundings were extremely lively, and the servants who had won the silver rewards were all beaming.

Only a courtyard in the north was a little deserted.

Cai Jinli stood outside the door of the hall, listening numbly to the bustling noises coming from all around, feeling that the bustle had nothing to do with him at all.

Since she moved into this yard and was treated as an honored guest, she didn't have to do rough work like chopping wood and mopping the ground, but she didn't have to do the work, and she couldn't see Xu Yun's face at all——

Not that she was under house arrest.

But Xu Yun didn't leave his yard at all - at first she thought that the other party was avoiding her, but later she realized that this was the normal state of this Mr. Xu during the winter.

It would be too flattering to say that he would not leave the courtyard, to be precise, he would not leave the bed at all.

It's really hard to get close to him.

She even felt that it was impossible for anyone in this world to complete this task.

It is said that during the festive season, Cai Jin misses his relatives and thinks about his difficult situation. Cai Jin can't help but want to cry at this time.

"Is Miss Cai here?"

At this time, a voice suddenly came.
