When Jiang Suizhou went to Gu Changyun's room that night, as expected, there were still Gu Changyun and Xu Du in the bedroom.
The food was already set on the table, and there was not a single waiter left behind.
Seeing Jiang Suizhou come in, the two saluted him, and Gu Changyun poured tea for him.
Jiang Suizhou sat down at the top.
"The lord said he would come early this morning, so this subordinate specially asked someone to make a squirrel mandarin fish." Gu Changyun said with a smile, and moved the plate of fish in front of Jiang Suizhou.
"Try it, my lord?"
Jiang Suizhou couldn't help being a little puzzled.
I don't like sweet food in the first place, especially this kind of sweet and sour Jiangnan cuisine.After coming to the south of the Yangtze River for a few days, the dining table in his room has always been mostly northern dishes.
Does the original owner have a sweet tooth?
He looked at Gu Changyun suspiciously, and saw Gu Changyun raised his eyebrows with a bit of surprise on his face.
"Will the Lord not eat?"
Jiang Suizhou didn't make a sound, he stretched out his chopsticks and took a piece of fish from the plate.
The fish meat tasted sweet and fragrant, so tired that Jiang Suizhou's brows could not help but frown.
He paused with his chopsticks.
Although the soul of King Jing is his now, the structure of the body is still Prince Jing's.Apart from experience, taste buds can affect people's eating preferences.He didn't like sweets by nature, and he didn't have any psychological barriers, so his body's reaction to the chopstick fish must have come from the body itself.
The original owner didn't like sweets either, so Gu Changyun's move was clearly to test him.
Jiang Suizhou chewed a few times, then looked at Gu Changyun lightly.
There was a slight smile on Gu Changyun's face, as if he was relieved after his doubts were dispelled.
Jiang Suizhou didn't say a word, just looked at him coldly, with two points of scrutiny and warning in his eyes.
Gu Changyun noticed it immediately, blinked slightly, and said with a smile: "Sure enough, the Lord still doesn't like sweets. It's just a pity that this famous Jiangnan dish won't be in the eyes of the prince for three years."
Jiang Suizhou slowly put down his chopsticks.
"You are very courageous." He looked down at the table and said lightly.
Gu Changyun looked at him and didn't speak for a while.
Jiang Suizhou asked: "Did you get the result you wanted?"
Gu Changyun paused, then laughed softly.
"What is the master talking about? This subordinate is just looking at the freshness of the mandarin fish brought in by the house in the past few days, and wants them to taste it with the master."
Jiang Suizhou's knuckles were slowly clasped on the table.
If someone who knows him is here, he must be able to see that this is his habitual action when he sees through the other party's lies and thinks about countermeasures.
Jiang Suizhou knew that they realized that he was not the original owner.
He was mentally prepared.After all, these two people are quite trusted aides of the original owner, not to mention getting along day and night, they must know everything about it.And since these two people can be brought under the command of the original owner, it is absolutely impossible for them to be idle people. It is very difficult to fool them.
But he didn't expect that during the second meeting, the other party would start to test him.
This proves that from the first time they met, the two of them had noticed the difference between him and the original owner.
The knuckles collided with the wooden tabletop, and the sound was soft, resounding in the quiet room.
At this moment, Xu Du who had been waiting by the side spoke.
"My lord, forgive me, Changyun is just a little mischievous." He stood up.
Jiang Suizhou looked at him, and saw Xu Du bowed deeply at him.
"However, rest assured, my lord, no matter what happens, his loyalty to the lord can be learned from heaven and earth."
This is a show of loyalty.
Jiang Suizhou knew that he was telling him that no matter who he became now, as long as he was still their master, they would be loyal to him.
He lowered his eyes, took a sip of tea, and suppressed the sweetness in his mouth.
Naturally, he would not believe what he said was unfounded.
But he also knew that his identity now was self-evident among the three of them.He issued a warning, and the other party also expressed his loyalty. At this time, any further persecution would be useless.
He needed facts to prove that the loyalty Xu Du said was true or false.Before that, what he has to do is to find a way to find a weight that can restrain the other party and prevent them from betraying him.
Jiang Suizhou picked up his chopsticks again, as if the confrontation just now had never happened, and calmly talked to them about the letter he received yesterday.
Xu Du and Gu Changyun discussed the content of the letter with him as if nothing had happened.
Just like their last meeting, the two men's thinking is orderly, logical, and they have some insights. When they put forward countermeasures, they usually hit the nail on the head, which coincides with Jiang Suizhou's analysis based on historical data.
It was as if he was really the original owner, doing his best without any reservations.
Jiang Suizhou couldn't tell whether they were pretending deliberately, or whether they really didn't care whether the person in front of them was the original Prince Jing.But no matter what the reason is, the analysis they put forward is advisable. After Jiang Suizhou considered it, he wrote down the part he thought was useful.
So after finishing the meal and discussing the big and small matters that happened in the past few days, Jiang Suizhou got up and left.
——Although it is not a big deal to stay here for one night, he is still a person who has lost his vest now, and spending the night here with the original owner's subordinates, he just thinks about it. It is a very tormenting thing.
Those two people got up after him, saluted and sent him away.
It wasn't until Jiang Suizhou's servants surrounded him and left the courtyard that the two sat down at the table again.
Gu Changyun laughed lightly.
"He found it," he said.
Xu Du glanced at him disapprovingly: "I told you earlier, don't play tricks on him."
Gu Changyun raised his eyebrows indifferently.
"I just didn't expect him to be so sharp," he said. "But look, isn't he not angry?"
Xu Du glanced at him.
"Not sure," he said.
Gu Changyun laughed a few times.
"Never mind him," he said. "I just want to see what this smart and soft-hearted new master will do next."
-
Jiang Suizhou returned to Anyin Hall, but did not go back to the bedroom. Instead, he went to the study while it was still early.
The original owner saved in the study, besides the letters, there are many other information that can be checked, but because of the extremely hidden and large amount, Jiang Suizhou has not thoroughly checked the information in the original owner's study until now .
Now, he had a guess in his heart, and wanted to try to find out something from the information stored in the study.
This search lasted for two hours, until it was about three o'clock.
He found an account book that the original owner had placed in the back of the desk.
There was nothing special about the account book, but Jiang Suizhou discovered that the amount of expenditure in this account was large, and each account was issued on the [-]th day of the current month, and the original owner handed over these taels to Xu Du himself.
In addition, there is an expense on the account. Although there is a slight fluctuation every month, the amount is very small.
Ordinarily, such a small amount of money would not be used by the original owner to keep accounts.Since it is recorded, the use of the money must be very important.
The date of monthly payment is also NO.15.
Jiang Suizhou had a plan in mind.
He thought for a long time, until Meng Qianshan came to knock on the door, reminding him that it was late at night and he had to go to the court tomorrow, then he put away the ledger properly and went back to his bedroom.
At this time, the night was already deep, and most of the servants had rested early, leaving only a few guards on duty.
Meng Qianshan opened the door for him, Jiang Suizhou stepped in, and saw Huo Wujiu sitting under the lamp reading a book.
He frowned, resting one hand on his forehead, he didn't touch the place for a while, as if he didn't understand the content of the book, and he seemed a little irritable.
Hearing the noise at the door, Huo Wujiu raised his eyes and saw Jiang Suizhou walking into the room while taking off his cloak.
His eyes paused inaudibly, and stopped on Jiang Suizhou.
...how did you come back?
Jiang Suizhou put the cloak in Meng Qianshan's hand, and when he turned his head, he saw Huo Wujiu sitting there with a book in one hand, as if he didn't see him.
Jiang Suizhou felt a little inexplicably relaxed.
Even if he is a salty fish in the Ministry of Rites, he still has to be on guard against his colleagues, and always put on an appearance that Prince Jing should have; when he returns to the mansion, those two staff members with lightning-like eyes alone are enough for him to deal with. up.
On the contrary, this Huo Wujiu, who always ignores him all day long, rarely speaks to him, even doesn't even look at him, which makes him feel relaxed.
Under this atmosphere, Jiang Suizhou even vaguely felt a bit of lightness when he returned home.
Thinking of this, Jiang Suizhou sighed a little self-deprecatingly.
How hard did he have to live to find Huo Wujiu's cute face?
Hearing him sigh, Meng Qianshan thought he was tired, quickly supported him, and led him to the back room to wash up.
After the figures of the two disappeared behind the screen, Huo Wujiu, whose gaze had been on the book, slowly raised his eyes and looked at his back.
...somewhat difficult.
Originally this morning, he heard Meng Qianshan say "he went to Mrs. Gu's place because of you", and thought that the eunuch was sick, but now that the night is so dark and Prince Jing has to rush back, Huo Wujiu also feels uncomfortable Very satisfied.
This person just wished to please him, but now he doesn't even favor his original concubine, and he wants to run back and sleep on the couch...
Huo Wujiu frowned, and slowly nodded his fingers on the wheelchair.
Is it really because of yourself?
He has never liked to owe others, whether materially or emotionally.Therefore, he especially hates others wishing him something he doesn't need, and he never appreciates it.
Like King Jing.
Huo Wujiu withdrew his eyes, lowered his eyes again, and looked back at the book in his hand.
This book was written by a great Confucian of the Jing Dynasty. It is full of benevolence, justice and morality, and the speech is also wordy.Huo Wujiu was already annoyed enough when he read this book, but Prince Jing came back suddenly, no matter what, it should make him feel even worse.
But when he read this book again, Huo Wujiu's brows couldn't be wrinkled for some reason.
It seemed that this old and ignorant Confucian suddenly became less hideous.
The food was already set on the table, and there was not a single waiter left behind.
Seeing Jiang Suizhou come in, the two saluted him, and Gu Changyun poured tea for him.
Jiang Suizhou sat down at the top.
"The lord said he would come early this morning, so this subordinate specially asked someone to make a squirrel mandarin fish." Gu Changyun said with a smile, and moved the plate of fish in front of Jiang Suizhou.
