Yan Ruyu stood in the shadows and keenly noticed that the layout of the two adjacent courtyards was almost the same.

No, it should be said that they are not almost the same, but exactly the same.

The flowers and plants in the courtyard, the fish tank, and even the unknown tree under the steps that lightly cover one third of the window have the same shape.

After all, she was also a person who searched the Wang Mansion, Yan Mansion, and Yi Wang Manor... She had never seen such an arrangement before.

The ancients, especially wealthy families, paid great attention to garden design. How could they create such a layout?

It's a bit like a modern hotel.

As soon as this idea came up, Yan Ruyu felt something was strange.

She quietly went to the corridor, using the shadow of the tree to block her body, and could hear the conversation inside clearly.

"How did it happen like this? You didn't mention it in your letter."

It was Huo Changrong's voice. He didn't go to get any wine at all, but came here.

The third lady sighed: "Things are changing every day. It was not like this when I wrote to you.

We also want to have a good relationship with Dafang, but as you can see, because of the previous breakup of their relationship, they are very upset and it is difficult to get along with each other at all. "

"Yes, brother," Huo Yunran was aggrieved and angry. His speech was unclear and there was still something in his mouth that he had not swallowed.

"You can talk about it after you finish eating!" Huo Changrong scolded him in disgust, "How long have you known how to eat? Where has your education gone?"

Huo Yunran was extremely aggrieved: "Brother, I haven't had a full meal in several days..."

"I haven't told you yet, what happened to Yan Ruyu? Didn't you say she was timid and cowardly?

Do you see how timid he is? The relationship is still so bad. "

Huo Yunran whispered: "She was indeed before. Who knows why... maybe her house was confiscated and she was so scared that she changed her temper."

Huo Changrong interrupted her impatiently, and she was too frightened to say anything more.

The third lady's tone was soft: "Rong'er, how about Yan Ruyu now? Is it possible to please your father-in-law and help you achieve success in one fell swoop?"

"It's okay if you don't, but fortunately that face is pretty," Huo Changrong said in a cold voice, "Originally I wanted to use Ruan Xianzao, but I didn't expect that Yan Ruyu is much more beautiful than Ruan Xianzao.

As for their temperament, I'll check on them later and they'll faint after eating.

If I give her some other medicine, no matter how strong it is, she will become a whore. "

The third lady's voice was filled with laughter: "That's good. I'll be relieved if I can help you."

"Your father's mouth..."

Huo Changrong said: "Let's talk tomorrow. It's getting late today and we can't find the doctor. Success or failure depends on tonight. It's important to do big things."

Third Lady: "...that's right. Once your position is established, everything will be easy to discuss."

Huo Yunran asked timidly: "Brother, have you really married into their Wen family?"

A brief silence.

The third lady said: "Oh, you kid, there is nothing we can do about it. If not, wouldn't your brother be implicated as well? How could there be any chance today?"

Huo Changrong's voice was a little colder: "You guys have a good rest, stay here, don't go anywhere, and don't go out if you hear any noise."

"Okay, okay." The third lady quickly agreed.

Then he thought of the old man again and asked: "Rong'er, your grandfather..."

Huo Changrong's voice sounded as if ice had rolled over him: "He is old and has been working hard all the way. When he suddenly relaxed, his body became even more unable to bear it. It is understandable that he cannot hold on any longer."

Through the window, Yan Ruyu could feel the coldness.

She finally understood that what she had guessed before was true, Huo Changrong planned to use her as a stepping stone.

But I didn't expect that she would be dedicated to Wen Qingzhuo.

It's a shame he could do such a disgusting thing.

After hearing about it, Yan Ruyu was also afraid that the eldest lady and the others would not be able to wait any longer and would retreat back the way they came.

When she reached the tree, her mind moved slightly, and she stood up to the highest point, condescending.

The moon is in the sky, the clouds are slightly rolled, and the fireworks in the world are bright, as bright as the stars.

This is a large house, with bright lights everywhere. The place they entered is not a private courtyard, but a special existence of this house.

It's like an extra piece, but it's closely connected.

There was not enough time to go over and take a closer look, but Yan Ruyu guessed that this place was like a secret back garden, which could be reached from the front house through the path in the dead of night.

Just as I was thinking about it, I saw a few lights swaying in the distance, and someone was coming this way.

She stopped looking at it and walked lightly down the tree, jumped over the courtyard wall, returned to the courtyard, and waited for Huo Changrong to come.

……

Yan Ruyu was not mistaken. There were indeed several people coming with lanterns. The person leading the way was a boy, followed by a man and a woman.

The man is about 25 or [-] years old, thin, luxuriously dressed, with a lot of sachets and jade pendants around his waist, and his fragrance is fragrant when he moves.

Next to him was a charming woman. She was wearing so thin that her waist would break when she walked. She also smelled like powder.

The man's hand would touch the woman's waist from time to time, and he would not forget to turn around and warn the two people walking at the back.

"Master Jia, be careful and watch your steps."

"Thank you Mr. Wen for the reminder." Mr. Jia said calmly.

The man was Wen Qingzhuo's son, Wen Haizhe, and the woman was the dancing girl he had just fallen in love with, who had only been brought to the house a few days ago.

We were having a good time with each other affectionately, but the boy came to report that Mr. Jia had arrived.

Although Mr. Jia has no official position, he is respected by local officials wherever he goes. This is because Mr. Jia is the largest salt merchant in the north.

To be a salt merchant these days, you must have a rich family background. I heard that Mr. Jia often travels and makes friends with powerful people. He went to great lengths to invite people here.

He was supposed to arrive two days ago, but why was he delayed? Therefore, no matter how tired he was of the beauty, he still had to entertain her.

Mr. Jia is wearing a moon-white brocade robe with a jade belt around his waist. There is no sachet on the side of his waist, only a mutton-fat jade pendant with red tassels, which is clean, elegant and noble.

His face was pale and somewhat sickly. He held a brocade handkerchief in his hand and coughed twice from time to time. Wen Haizhe was frightened and confused: Can this person really travel all over the world? Wouldn't he die on the way?

There was a guard behind Mr. Jia. He had a cold face and cold eyes, and said nothing. Wen Haizhe almost thought he was mute.

Mr. Jia looked around: "It's quiet and elegant here. I wonder where this is?"

Wen Haizhe smiled: "Young Master Jia will know later, and I will keep it for you to enjoy."

After you enjoy it, I can talk about cooperation again.

Although Wen Haizhe was the prince of the governor's office, he was bright and wealthy, but he also spent a lot of money. Especially in the past few years, his money was spent like running water.

You have to find a way to make money.

No, the opportunity has come to his door. As long as he can reach cooperation with Mr. Jia, he will not worry about being out of money in the future.

Mr. Jia covered his mouth and nose with a handkerchief and coughed a few more times. His long eyelashes drooped to hide the disgust in his eyes.

What kind of smell did these two people have on them? It was so fragrant that it choked him to death!

Walking around, I came to a place where two small courtyards were connected.

There were people standing in front of the door, and Wen Haizhe wondered: "Are there any guests tonight?"

The guard in front of the door hurriedly came over and saluted: "I have met the eldest young master. He is my distinguished guest."

When he heard that it belonged to Huo Changrong, Wen Haizhe sneered contemptuously: "What kind of distinguished guest can he have? Only a weakling can be called an honored guest, Mr. Jia."

"What a bad luck, we..."

Before he could say the words "Go further", Mr. Jia suddenly coughed violently.

Wen Haizhe changed his words again: "Just in the yard in front."

Bodhisattva bless you, don’t cough to death.
