When Shan Rou woke up, the sky was already bright, and the sound of rain outside had not stopped, making it soothing to listen to.
There was no one in the house, and I didn't know when Lin Fu got up and left. The yard was quiet, and no one could be seen. This is the back garden of Dongya. The garden is not big, and the patio is only about ten steps square, with a brick pavement.
On the floor, the sound of water dripping from the eaves was clear, and the rustling branches and leaves of a clump of bamboo were also reflected on the window paper.
Dan Rou sat up, her snow-white body was bruised in several places, all traces of last night's lovemaking. She opened the sheets and looked at the blue printed sheets under her body, and she saw that they were even more messed up. Dan Rou didn't care.
She had to get out of here quickly. Although this garden was Lin Fu's temporary resting place, Lin Fu didn't go back to the mountain last night, so there was no guarantee that Gu Junxun wouldn't come down to take a look in the morning.
Shan Rou knew that she had no qualifications to compete for favors, and of course she would not seek bad luck in front of Gu Junxun. She picked up the dresses that were piled messily on the corner table. She was angry and funny. Her fine silk gauze dress was ignored by the impatient and overbearing Lin.
The binding was torn to pieces.
"What a beast!" Shan Rou said shyly, but she was extremely troubled. She didn't know if the maid would be more clever and come to see her, otherwise she would be trapped here waiting for Lin Bie to come back to rescue her. She couldn't wear such a dress.
Chang slipped out of the back door and didn't know when Lin Fu was busy and thought of her predicament.
Danrou only wore obscene pants and a tube top, and sat on the edge of the bed in distress, with her white arms exposed. She didn't even dare to go to the outer room. When she heard footsteps coming from outside, Danrou's heart rose in her throat.
Eyes, she was afraid that Gu Junxun or Xiaoman would come over. Liu Yuer's temperament was docile, and he would probably have to hide it for her if something happened to her. If it were Gu Junxun and Xiaoman, they wouldn't be so easy to talk to.
Gu Yingxiu pushed the door open and came in. She saw Shan Rou hiding behind the door and teased her: "You only know that you are guilty when you eat secretly?"
"Sister, please stop making fun of me." Seeing Gu Yingxiu holding a dress in her hand, she asked in surprise, "How did sister know I want this?"
"You have such a little mouth, sister, my sister's call is so sweet, I won't bring you clothes, why don't you have to wait here all the time?" Gu Yingxiu said, "That guy doesn't have that much time to spend with you, he
He has to go to the island before noon, and I'm afraid he won't be able to come back until night. He is still thinking of you, so he asked someone to send a note..."
Shanrou felt happy, took the dress and put it on, listening to the chatter outside, it was the two maids in her room talking to Gu Yingxiu's maid outside.
"Aren't you my sister?" Shan Rou said. Gu Yingxiu was a month older than her, but when she first married into the Lin family, she was married to Lin Tingxun as a concubine. She was in front and Gu Yingxiu was behind. But now it's
Turning it upside down, Shan Rou naturally called Gu Yingxiu her sister.
"Come on, let's still call Xiao Liu and Xiao Qi. Although we don't have much contact with the other people, we still have to guard against leaking anything in front of others," Gu Yingxiu said, seeing some red marks on Shan Rou's chest.
, pulled open the tube top and looked at it. There were two deep bruises on the snow-white and tender breasts. He smiled helplessly, "This guy just likes to suck here and his neck. He doesn't care about the bruises."
Whether it can be eliminated or not will make others worried for several days..."
Danrou blushed and was embarrassed, and pulled up her tube top to hide the bruises. However, the skin was worn somewhere, making it quite inconvenient to walk. She had to walk with her legs crossed to avoid the pain. Gu Yingxiu looked at it
He gloated at the misfortune and said with a smile: "If you are greedy and don't know how to restrain yourself, you will have to struggle for several days!" Then he asked her, "What do you think about the bank's affairs?"
"What about the bank?" Shan Rou asked.
"He didn't tell you?" Gu Yingxiu asked.
"No, the one in front...the back was tired, so I fell asleep," Dan Rou was embarrassed to say that she kept tossing until dawn before going to bed. The skin was torn there, which was really the retribution of greed. She said with a blush, "It was also a sleep. What time has it been since you fell asleep and just woke up?"
"He Zhe is a full night, but you can bear it." Gu Yingxiu said angrily.
"Can sister bear it?" Dan Rou asked.
"You coward, are you planning on me?" Gu Yingxiu scolded with a smile, and then said, "I can't tell you the details about the bank. Song Dianshu is in front. Let's ask her for details..."
"I..." Shan Rou hesitated. Song Jia came over last night. Knowing this, she felt guilty and a little afraid of seeing Song Jia.
"What's wrong?" Gu Yingxiu asked.
"Song Dianshu is the daughter of Yongtai Bo Song Fu. Other things are the same as Qianzhuang. I didn't have time to listen to his details - how come Song Dianshu is in Chongzhou? Aren't the two She and Song families rebelling?" Shan Rou asked.
"Did you hit him?" Gu Yingxiu was smart. Huaidong had so many secrets, and she knew that Lin Fu would not just talk about Song Jia for no reason.
Rou admitted that she had been fighting with Gu Yingxiu for many years, and she also knew that she was more considerate than anyone else. If she wanted to occupy a position in Lin Fu's heart in the future, she could not rely on anyone else and could only fight with Gu Yingxiu. Good relationship.
"In the spring of the year before last, Song Dianshu and the daughter of the She family passed by Guangjiao Temple on their way to Jiangning. The guy led troops back from Jinhai by sea and captured her sister-in-law," Gu Yingxiu explained briefly, " This incident is a shame for the She family. They sent people to kill them, and the two of them, especially Song Dianshu, have lost interest in the south!"
"So that's it!" Shan Rou said suddenly.
In a time of chaos, women, especially extremely beautiful and enchanting women, are just playthings of men. A few women can control their own destiny.
The She and Song families rebelled in the south, and Song Jia and She Mingyue were captured in Chongzhou. If they were escorted to Jiangning or Yanjing, they would most likely be thrown into the Jiaofang Division and used for sexual pleasure to humiliate the She and Song families.
Since Lin Fu left them in Chongzhou, they might also regard themselves as Lin Fu's beloved concubine, right?
Shan Rou was not an ignorant woman. Since she knew the reason why Song Jia stayed in Chongzhou, she had nothing to feel guilty about, so she and Gu Yingxiu went to the front yard to meet her. It was as if she and Gu Yingxiu had joined hands to inquire about the bank. Coming here and staying overnight in Dongya has nothing to do with her.
Song Jia looked at Gu Yingxiu and Dan Rou coming together, and stood up to greet them. She smiled sweetly and said: "Sixth Madam, how come the Seventh Madam has time to come here? Your Excellency went to the island in the morning, Sixth Madam, Seventh Madam is really What a coincidence..." It was as if she didn't know that Shan Rou was spending the night in the back garden.
"Song Dianshu, you can do it here," Gu Yingxiu said, "Lin Fu wants the Lin family to spend money to run a bank together. It's not like we sisters can make the decision. What are the benefits of running a bank? We have to explain it to the other sisters. I know. We don’t know much, so come here and ask Song Dianshu to explain it to us..."
"Oh? Your Majesty still makes your own decisions about the bank. Even if I explain it, I can't explain it more clearly than you!" Song Jia said, raising her hands to straighten her temples, but she glanced at Shan Rou unintentionally, with a slight expression on the corner of her mouth. A very clear smile.
It was these two expressions that pierced the outer shell of Dan Rou's fierce color; Dan Rou blushed and unconsciously turned her head to look away. Gu Yingxiu knew that this woman Song Jia was very thoughtful, and all the women on the mountain joined together to fight.
He may not be her opponent even though Shan Rou is just a little smart, how can he be a match for her?
Thinking about it carefully, Song Jia followed Lin Fu to Haidong alone for four or five months. Lin Fu did not take her into his room. It seemed that Lin Fu valued her very much.
Of course, Song Jia would not expose other people's faces, so she changed the topic to the bank affairs.
"...The affairs of the bank are still very important to Huaidong, and may become one of the foundations of Huaidong. Your Excellency is also a person who has always valued kindness and righteousness. If the ladies have confidence in Huaidong, they will be better able to understand the benefits of the bank."
." Song Jia carefully explained the bank affairs to Gu Yingxiu and Shan Rou.
Gu Yingxiu and Shan Rou didn't stay. After saying goodbye, they went directly to see the third lady. After Shan Rou came to Chongzhou, there was still no news. Gu Yingxiu was nominally helping Gu Junxun take care of internal affairs, so she naturally knew what the world was like outside.
.
It seems that the Dongyang Army has regained Shanglinli, but it is uncertain when the situation will collapse.
If there is no confidence in Huaidong or Lin Fu, where can the Lin clan live in order to escape the catastrophe of troubled times?
Although Lin Tingxun appointed his youngest son Lin Xuxi to inherit the family business before his death, before Lin Xuxi came of age, the affairs of the Lin family still had to be managed by the third wife of the main wife at the time of Lin Tingxun's death. After Lin Xuxi came of age, the sixth wife Shan Rou could speak with a stronger voice.
Passed the third lady.
Even if the third lady had some knowledge, how much knowledge could she have? She subconsciously believed that the land handed down from her ancestors could not be sold. However, after Shan Rou and Gu Yingxiu persuaded her, the third lady hesitated again: she had indeed been living on the move in recent years.
Her life had finally settled down after she arrived in Chongzhou. If she was asked to go back to Shanglin immediately, she would be upset in her heart. If the imperial court did not protect it, the Lin family would naturally not be able to keep the fields in Shanglin. The third lady was also worried for a while.
It was such a mess that I didn't know what to do, so I just said: "The boss and the second master will make the decisions. We women should not make blind decisions!"
If the third lady insisted not to let go, then there wouldn't be much help for Lin Fu here, so Gu Yingxiu and Shan Rou went back to the mountain.
On the way, Shan Rou asked Gu Yingxiu: "Is the third sister aware of something?" Although she asked this question, there was not much panic on her face.
Gu Yingxiu sighed and said: "You said that your face, in just one night, the skin is so tender that it can ooze water. You should really use the kind of gold-plated glass that can illuminate people's faces most clearly."
Take a good look in the mirror. When you talk, the third child spends most of the time looking at your face. It’s because she doesn’t feel suspicious that something is going on..."
"Is there any?" Dan Rou touched her face and said sheepishly, "I don't think there is anything different from yesterday..."
"Don't you have a guilty conscience?" Gu Yingxiu laughed.
Gu Yingxiu and Shan Rou walked back to the mountain and saw the inner house busy with many maids and the mother-in-law preparing their bags. She drove Xiao Man out and asked her, "What's going on?"
"The governor's office has issued an urgent order for my husband to go to Jiangning to discuss matters. My sister is going back to Jiangning Province to get married. We need to prepare urgently to catch up with our husband's schedule..." Xiaoman said.
Lin Fu led his army to Haidong, but the governor did not see any order coming. At this moment, he was rushing to ask Lin Fu to go to Jiangning to discuss matters. Besides, everyone on the mountain and the mountain were talking about Chen Zhihu's transfer to Henan Province. Is there going to be another war?
Already?
Thinking that it had not been a month since Lin Fu came back from Haidong, Gu Yingxiu just sighed, how could anyone control the world like this?
