There was silence inside the carriage, but outside the carriage was the sound of crackling rain.

This heavy rain is coming fiercely, as if it wants to wash the world clean.

The rain was getting heavier and heavier, and the carriage almost became one with the heavy rain.

Sitting in the carriage, Gu Ning could only hear her own breathing. She kept turning her head and looking out the window, not daring to look at Xie Yan.

At that moment just now, her heart was disturbed.

She didn't dare to continue on this matter, so she could only pretend to be stupid.

It wasn't until the car curtain was lifted that Gu Ning breathed a sigh of relief.

"Cousin!" She looked at Pei Chongfang who walked in through the curtain with bright eyes, as if two candles were in full bloom in her eyes, which were astonishingly bright.

Pei Chongfang has been in Hualou for many years, and he saw Gu Ning's slightly bright red lips at a glance.

He is not an ignorant person, he knows what the color means.

His eyes narrowed, and he immediately looked at the people around Gu Ning.

There was not much expression on Xie Yan's handsome face, but under Pei Chongfang's gaze, he rarely felt a little guilty.

Pei Chongfang was full of anger, but he couldn't get angry at Xie Yan.

It's just that he suppressed this anger again and again before saying coldly: "Xie the guard go back to the mansion first, I still have something to say to Ning'er."

"Yes." Xie Yan bowed his head and walked out of the carriage quickly.

It was pouring rain outside, Gu Ning hesitated to speak.

Seeing Gu Ning's appearance, Pei Chongfang said in a strange way: "The guard Xie is strong and healthy, but it's just a little rain, so it shouldn't be a problem."

Gu Ning was keenly aware of other meanings in Pei Chongfang's words, she immediately retracted her neck, pretending that nothing happened, admiring the rain scene outside the car.

Xie Yan walked into the rain curtain, he didn't bring any rain gear, Gu Ning winked at Chun Yu, and she was relieved when she saw Chun Yu handed the rain gear to Xie Yan.

Before she could relax for too long, Pei Chongfang's words of warning came from beside her.

"Ning'er, if you don't want to marry Prince Duan, I will find a good husband-in-law for you from another family." Pei Chongfang put away his foolish appearance before, and said seriously, "You are the jewel in the palm of our Pei family. I will never let you be wronged."

Gu Ning blinked, knowing that Pei Chongfang saw the tricks between himself and Xie Yan.

She opened her red lips slightly, and wanted to say something, but Pei Chongfang said to the coachman with an angry face: "Hurry up and drive back home!"

Pei Chongfang was still angry, Gu Ning didn't dare to make trouble at this time.

But Pei Chongfang would not let her go so easily: "Ning'er, what did you do in Qianjin Pavilion before? Why did they make such a big noise?"

When Gu Ning heard this, he became energetic.

She glanced around subconsciously, and Pei Chongfang said helplessly: "The coachman is my confidant for many years, and Chunyu was sent to you by your grandmother, what are you worried about?"

"It's really a big deal." Gu Ning stuck out his tongue and smiled at Pei Chongfang.

"What's the matter?"

"Second Cousin, do you know whose property Qianjin Pavilion is?" Gu Ning whispered, "I suspect it is related to Yan Kingdom."

Hearing this, Pei Chongfang's little smile just now disappeared without a trace: "Yan Guo?"

"Yes!" Gu Ning nodded quickly, "I just wanted to find a few servants and maids to inquire about the news about traveling doctors, but I saw Yan Yu, the protégé of Yan Kingdom, entered the same room with Mother Hua."

"Mother Hua is over fifty years old, and Yan Yu is in her early twenties. The two of them are in the same room. It can't be for the love of a man and a woman. I followed, and I heard a huge secret !" Gu Ning made a surprised look, covered his lips with a handkerchief, "That mother Hua is so respectful to Yan Yu!"

"Did you really see it with your own eyes?" Pei Chongfang asked suspiciously, "As far as I know, the owner behind Qianjin Pavilion belongs to the Jiang family."

The Jiang family belonged to Chu Yunyi's faction. They wholeheartedly supported Chu Yunyi, so how could they have anything to do with the enemy country?

Gu Ning shook his head, his beautiful eyes were full of innocence: "Could it be that Yan Yu is from the Jiang family?"

"Impossible!" Without even thinking about it, Pei Chongfang denied this idea.

After a moment, he scowled.

Although I don't know why the Jiang family is related to Yan Yu, it is a fact that Mother Hua of Qianjin Pavilion has a close relationship with Yan Yu.

He was silent for a moment, then told Gu Ning: "You don't need to worry about these things, you just stay at home and wait for the Queen Mother's birthday banquet."

Gu Ning nodded, very obedient: "Second cousin, don't worry, I am the most obedient, you let me go east, I will never go west!"

Hearing her words, Pei Chongfang smiled helplessly.

The heavy atmosphere in the carriage was finally swept away, he rubbed Gu Ning's head, and said softly: "Who is it that promised me today that I will stay at the door?"

Gu Ning's eyes rolled around, and he didn't say a word for a long time.

Pei Chongfang had no intention of embarrassing her, but he just warned her earnestly: "The relationship between Yan State and our Chu State is complicated, and you, a little girl, can't get involved. To make Mother Hua obey his orders, his methods must be extraordinary, unless our Pei family is all dead, otherwise I will never ask you, a little girl, to take risks."

Seeing that Gu Ning's eyes were wandering, Pei Chongfang's tone was a bit serious: "Did you hear clearly?"

"I see." Gu Ning nodded heavily, "I will never take the initiative to provoke Yan Yu."

That's the male second, the future emperor of Yan Kingdom, as long as she can get the jade pendant in Yan Yu's hand, she can hide as far as she can.

……

People were coming and going on the long street, and the Queen Mother's birthday banquet was approaching, making the capital even more bustling. Ladies and ladies in luxurious clothes could be seen playing in the street everywhere, and there were also sons and daughters of aristocratic families drinking heavily in restaurants.

On the bustling long street, Gu Ning only brought Chunyu behind him, wandering around the street, she came out today to find that mysterious wandering doctor.

Chunyu got the news that the traveling doctor did not leave the capital, but lingered in the restaurant.

The reason why he was able to find out his whereabouts so quickly was because he was addicted to alcohol, and he had tasted almost all the restaurants in the capital.

Looking at the restaurant with the words "Lujia Restaurant" floating on it, Gu Ning stopped in his tracks.

"Miss, that traveling doctor is inside." Chunyu whispered, "I will bring him out for you."

"No." Gu Ning reached out to stop Chunyu.

Lu's Restaurant is one of the best restaurants in the capital. Even the wives and ladies in the courtyard of the deep house will buy a few jugs of wine from here for a drink, so they also have a private room for female guests.

Under Chunyu's worried eyes, Gu Ning stepped into the Lu's restaurant.

The clerk in the store has seen many customers coming and going, so he can tell at a glance that the female customer is wearing the tribute brocade today, and on the pair of earrings she is wearing, there are two pearls the size of a thumb. Not even Fanpin.

To be able to dress like this, I'm afraid they are members of the royal family.

The clerk's legs softened, but he quickly came up to him, and said respectfully: "Please, sir, we still have a lot of private rooms in the restaurant. Do you think it's facing the window or facing the lake?"

Gu Ning's eyes glanced at the lobby of the restaurant several times, and finally stopped on the old man with gray hair who was drinking a glass of wine.

"Keep an eye on him." Gu Ning whispered a few words in Chunyu's ear, and went up to the second floor, "I want a private room facing the street."

At the end, she added another sentence: "Bring up all the best wines in your restaurant, if there are also outside, there is no need to bring them up!"

"Yes!" The buddy smiled like a flower, and quickly greeted Gu Ning.

When the distinguished guest came to the door, the clerk tried his best to take a few pots of the good Lihuachun from the shopkeeper, and the good Nurhong that had been buried for decades, and walked carefully to the second floor.

The value of these jugs of wine is enough for him to work in the wine shop for ten years, and only such noble people are willing to order such expensive wine.

Unexpectedly, he had just walked a few steps when he was grabbed by someone.

"Hey hey!" The clerk quickly protected the two jugs of wine, and looked at the person in front of him with dissatisfaction: "Old man, I have no grievances with you, why do you want to kill me?"

"What kind of wine are you holding?" The old man looked dissatisfied, "Why have I never tasted it?"

"Ouch! This pot of wine costs hundreds of taels of silver. Old man, you used to order the cheapest wine when you came to our restaurant. If you are willing to pay the silver, I will definitely deliver this wine to your table!"

Hearing this, the old man stopped pulling out his sleeves.

His money had already been used up in the past few days.

The buddy didn't bother with him, and he was about to walk to the second floor.

At this moment, Chunyu stepped forward.

She put a bank note in front of the shopkeeper, pointed to the old man and said a few words, the shopkeeper looked surprised and looked at the old man again and again.

Could this be the master of some family?Came out to pretend to be poor?

Just when the old man was staggering and was about to leave, he saw the shopkeeper bring two jugs of wine to him, and the fragrance of the wine exuded from the two jugs which lifted his spirits.

But soon, he shook his head: "I can't afford it."

"It was given to you by a nobleman." The shopkeeper was very envious, "It's a full 260 taels of silver!"

Hearing this, the old man was startled, he raised his head, and met Chunyu who had been watching him for a long time.

The shopkeeper left wisely, and Chunyu stepped forward respectfully: "Doctor Zhou, my lady is here to invite you."

The old man stroked his gray beard, his eyes were still confused just now, but now he has recovered his clarity: "Who is your young lady? Why are you courting me?"

"Miss heard the rumor that Dr. Zhou treated Miss Ruoxue, and was very interested in it. I would like to ask Dr. Zhou to explain it." Chunyu was very respectful to the old man.

"Oh?" The old man narrowed his eyes slightly, "Your young lady paid a few hundred taels of silver, she must be from a noble family, she is a noble daughter of a noble family, don't you dislike me for treating Hua Niang?"

Chunyu smiled: "Miss said that doctors and patients don't distinguish between high and low. You are a doctor with a benevolent heart. You don't mind the status of a doctor and a patient. It's a blessing for doctors and patients. How can she despise it?"

Hearing this, the old man laughed twice.

He lifted two jugs of wine and said with a smile, "That's what I like!"
