On her wedding night, she went into exile with her pharmacy arsenal
Chapter 148 Chess Game
Huo Zhongmao twisted the burned area of the grass hard, and there was some grass ashes on his fingers.
"Wait a moment, young lady, I'll be back as soon as I can."
He turned around and went out, while Yan Ruyu waited patiently.
Rong's eyes gradually became brighter. The way her husband was serious and focused and talking reminded her of the same situation in the past at home. When her husband concentrated on studying the things he liked, she would stay with her, either mending or sewing. Serve him tea.
Although the days are dull, they are also beautiful.
Yan Ruyu saw what she was thinking: "I don't know, he still knows these things. When he gets to the northwest, he can open another spice shop."
Rong was startled, with tears glistening in her eyes.
Huo Zhongmao came in, holding a piece of white paper in his hand, which was slightly damp.
"Look, young lady, what is this?"
"Blank paper."
Huo Zhongmao smiled and said nothing, and lightly wiped the grass ash from his fingertips on the paper. A few words slowly appeared on the originally empty paper.
"It was made temporarily, so it's a bit rough, and the paper hasn't dried completely. If we have enough time, we can make it more refined."
Yan Ruyu's heart skipped a beat, and several thoughts flashed through her mind.
"Thank you, you've been a big help!"
She took the paper and fodder and quickly went out to find Huo Changhe.
Huo Changhe and Yintuo were talking together. When he saw her coming, Yintuo cleared his throat and was about to speak.
Myna screamed: "The moon is so full tonight!"
Yintuo: "..." I really want to die.
Yan Ruyu flicked Bago's forehead with her finger, and Bago shouted: "Fairy, fairy! The skin is so white and the eyes are so bright!"
Yan Ruyu ignored him and it, and said to Huo Changhe: "Master, please change the place to talk."
"it is good."
The two entered Yintuo's house, and Huo Changhe closed the door: "What's wrong?"
"You come and see."
Yan Ruyu put the paper and straw on the table and said what Huo Zhongmao had just said.
Huo Changhe nodded: "That's right. Just now Yintuo said that he just heard news on the street, saying that there are rumors that Wenqu star will appear at Mao tomorrow, and many people will go there to worship Wenqu star."
He held the forage with his fingertips: "This thing may come in handy at that time."
"What time will it be tomorrow?" Yan Ruyu calculated the time and found it was equivalent to five o'clock in the morning.
"Exactly, at dawn. However, in order to win a good chance, many people will set off tonight."
Yan Ruyu thought to herself: This is a bit like the scene where modern people rush to burn incense during the Chinese New Year.
"Master, is there any way to find another entrance?"
Huo Changhe looked at her and smiled faintly: "You want to go? You can go if you want."
"Want to go."
"it is good."
The two discussed it again, and when they came out of the house, they saw Huo Zhongmao helping Yintuo.
Seeing her coming out, Huo Zhongmao said, "Young Madam, I haven't told you about the other things you asked me to do."
Yan Ruyu nodded: "Come."
Huo Zhongmao entered the room and took out a small notebook, which contained the news he recorded.
"There are so many scholars here, all here to pay homage to Wenquxing. In addition to some ordinary people from nearby cities, I found out that there are also several children from aristocratic families. Among them are the Pingyang Qiu family and the Taizhou Jiang family."
Yan Ruyu raised her eyebrows slightly, remembering that Huo Changhe said that there were four great families in this dynasty, including the Pingyang Qiu family and the Taizhou Jiang family.
"sure?"
"Sure," Huo Zhongmao nodded, "I went to the best inn in Antai Town first, and gave the waiter some broken silver to find out some information.
I thought the people there must be people who came early and had some money.
The waiter also told me that although the people living there were rich, they were not the most powerful. The powerful ones all lived in small manors in the west city. "
"The small manor is not far from the ancestral home of the then chief minister. It has now been bought by a powerful person. I went there, but I couldn't inquire about the information like I could at the inn.
But there are some young vendors selling things outside. After chatting with them for a few words, I also got some useful information.
It is said that two noble gentlemen and a noble lady came here a few days ago, and they were quite grand. As for their identities, they did not know. "
"I waited for a while and met a little maid who came out to buy things. She had a purse on her body. It was made of fine silk. The embroidery on it was also the famous Su embroidery. Her accent was Wennon soft, and Taizhou is related to Su. The city is adjacent.”
"Then a boy came out, and the two of them had a few quarrels. They looked down on each other. The Pingyang Qiu clan and the Taizhou Jiang clan had always been dissatisfied with each other over their rankings. Therefore, I guessed it was probably them.
When it was almost noon, a restaurant came to deliver food. When the person who delivered the food came out, I followed him to the restaurant and stuffed some money with him. Only then did I realize that they had delivered food several times in a row. Therefore, I can conclude that a person from the Jiang family in Taizhou came. There is a young lady from the Pingyang Qiu family. "
Yan Ruyu looked at Huo Zhongmao with admiration.
This person is smart, organized, attentive, and has a calm temperament. He is really a rare good partner.
Huo Zhongmao gave her the small notebook: "Because I have been squatting for a long time, I only asked about this information. I will go back in the afternoon."
"This information from you is very rare and important. Thank you for your hard work."
"Should be."
Yan Ruyu said: "If you go out in the afternoon, be more careful and don't attract attention. Safety is the top priority."
"it is good."
Huo Zhongmao went out and Yan Ruyu sat at the table, flipping through the notebook he had kept.
Huo Changhe knocked on the door and came in: "The meal is ready."
Yan Ruyu raised her eyes: "The boss comes here to take a look."
"Is this what Huo Zhongmao heard about?"
"Yes," Yan Ruyu pushed the notebook to him, "There are people from the Pingyang Qiu family and the Taizhou Jiang family."
Huo Changhe was slightly surprised: Yintuo had just gone out to contact the secret guards here to collect information.
But the secret guards' attention was all on the temple and they didn't pay attention to this. After all, there were not enough manpower now and they couldn't compare with before.
"So, this Mr. Mo is playing a big game," Huo Changhe sighed, "I know there are people with high status, but I didn't expect it to be them."
Yan Ruyu agreed: "An ordinary scholar, plus the children of aristocratic families, the hometown of the first assistant, plus the Wenquxing Temple, the location, people and people are all there."
"The time, place and people are favorable," Huo Changhe said. "It is not easy to occupy the second place."
"No," Yan Ruyu said firmly, "He also took advantage of the opportunity."
"How to say?"
Yan Ruyu raised her eyes and looked at the sky outside the window: "There will be a continuous rain here in at most two days."
Surprise flashed in Huo Changhe's eyes.
Yan Ruyu pretended not to see it and pointed her finger at the small book: "Mr. Mo played the game really well, but he forgot."
"One wrong move and the whole game will be lost."
Huo Changhe chuckled lightly, with a chill in his tone: "I think he has a weak heart.
If he just wanted to play this game and play slowly, he might succeed. But he just wants to lead us into a trap..."
"Then," Yan Ruyu smiled solemnly, "kill him and turn everything upside down."
"Wait a moment, young lady, I'll be back as soon as I can."
He turned around and went out, while Yan Ruyu waited patiently.
Rong's eyes gradually became brighter. The way her husband was serious and focused and talking reminded her of the same situation in the past at home. When her husband concentrated on studying the things he liked, she would stay with her, either mending or sewing. Serve him tea.
