[Red Mansion] Ronghua Road of Mrs. Hou's Mansion

"I would also like to thank Miss Wang for taking me in." Gu Xingchi folded his arms.

Sister Feng glanced at him.Obviously what he said was very plain, but she felt that there was a sense of playfulness and frivolity.

She withdrew her gaze and said casually, "Master Hou, you're welcome." If she wasn't afraid of offending the Gu family, she wouldn't be so kind.

She turned around to go back to the cabin, when suddenly she heard his voice, "Miss Wang, I have something to ask."

"Master Gu, I met you by chance, so I really have nothing to say." Sister Feng said.

Gu Xingchi walked up to her side, stared at her side face, and said nothing.During the silence, she only felt a sense of oppression, and faintly felt a heat rising from her cheeks.Suddenly she was a little annoyed, she simply turned around and looked at him, "Gu..."

Before he had time to speak, he heard him say: "Miss Wang, you haven't given me an accurate answer to the question I asked that time."

Sister Feng was not at all surprised that he would ask this question, she smiled lightly and said, "With Master Hou's scheming and sensitivity, he must have already found out, so why bother to ask? It never happened, didn't it?"

Gu Xingchi smiled and said: "I have indeed sent someone to check, but I'm not completely sure. Now I just want to confirm, and I hope the girl will give me some advice."

"Things have passed for so many years, and Lord Hou has become His Majesty and his valued person. He has enjoyed endless glory and wealth throughout his life, so why care about these old things?" Sister Feng said mockingly, "Besides, this is not a good thing. Aggressive, are you not afraid that I will reveal it to others?"

Gu Xingchi's eyes were deep, and he said firmly, "You won't." Just as Sister Feng was about to refute, she heard him laughing, "You are also one of the people who know about this matter, and if someone finds out about me, you can't be alone. Besides, not long ago, you were the one who helped me escape from hunting, and now we are grasshoppers on the same rope, how could you have the heart to betray me?"

Sister Feng was depressed.Gu Xingchi was not searched, but only the Wang family's boat was not searched. Who is the mastermind behind the scenes?They might also think that it is too late for the Wang family to seek refuge with Gu Xingchi.

She asked: "Since Master Hou said so, can you tell me who is going to assassinate you that day?"

"Guess." Gu Xingchi approached her and whispered.

He is tall and tall, and he just lowered his head and stared at Sister Feng, his peach blossom eyes were so gentle that water dripped out, and there was a trance of pines and bamboos between his breaths.

She was slightly stunned, and forgot what to say for a while.

After a while, I heard Ping'er's voice, "Girl, the boat is about to dock."

She was startled, looked at Gu Xingchi angrily, and said, "Got it."

As she walked, she wandered away, feeling that something was wrong.After a while, it suddenly occurred to her that she had made a mistake in this matter.She shouldn't think about who sent someone to assassinate Gu Xingchi, she should first figure out why someone wanted to assassinate Gu Xingchi.

Thinking of the person Gu Xingchi asked her about, it seemed that he had caught something...

There are not many opportunities to land on the way, and even if there are, it is for shopping. When I land for the last time, I have already arrived in Yangzhou.

Sister Feng got off the boat, followed by servant girls, all of whom were well dressed, especially a man with a handsome appearance, which attracted many people's attention.

Lin Zhixiao's family stepped forward and said: "Miss, Madam said, if you want to stay in Yangzhou for a while, you can go shopping. I have already brought the letter written by the master. If you are free or pass by Master Lin's house You can hand over the letter to him. The Lin family and the Wang family have some friendship, Master Lin will take care of you after reading it. "

Sister Feng nodded, "Since the two families are old acquaintances, there is no reason for me to come to Yangzhou this time. Otherwise, if my uncle hears about it, he might blame me for being ignorant."

She was going to the Lin family. Since Mrs. Jiang said so, it saved a lot of trouble.

Originally, Wang Ziteng wanted to get in touch with the Lin family, maybe he could use it in the future.So I told Lin Zhixiao and his wife a long time ago, and reminded Sister Feng not to forget to visit Lin Ruhai at the right time.Now hearing what Sister Feng said, Lin Zhixiao's family is relieved.

Suddenly thought of something, Lin Zhixiao's family gave Sister Feng a wink.Sister Feng understood and said with a smile: "Now that Yangzhou is here, where is Lord Hou planning to go?"

Gu Xingchi didn't seem to realize that someone was issuing an order to chase away the guests, so he turned his head and said with a smile: "It just so happens that the girl and I are going all the way."

Lin Zhixiao's family was stunned. A big man had been with the girl for more than a month, and now he didn't want to walk away from the girl when he arrived in Yangzhou. The girl walked around with a strange man, what is this called?

Sister Feng raised the tails of her eyes slightly, her brows and eyes were charming, but when she looked at him, she was a little cold. "Master Gu, I'm just going to visit the mountains and rivers, so I don't care how much time it takes, and you don't care either?"

Gu Xingchi raised his eyebrows, "Coincidentally, I also have nothing to do to travel around the mountains and rivers. If that's the case, why don't we go together? We can also take care of each other, right? Then we can go back to Beijing together."

Sister Feng didn't believe his words.She stared at him, as if trying to read something from his eyes.

"Then Gu Houye also wants to visit Master Lin with me?"

"Why not?" Gu Xingchi said calmly, "I've heard about Mr. Lin's name for a long time, so I just took this opportunity to see his true face."

It seems that he has made up his mind to follow Sister Feng.Sister Feng suddenly felt very funny, and said, "Then let the Marquis do it himself."

Gu Xingchi said again: "Since you're far away from the capital, it's better to change your name."

Sister Feng secretly rolled her eyes, "Third Young Master, if we don't leave, it will be dark."

Ping'er looked up, the sun was shining brightly, how could it be dark?

I saw Gu Xingchi smiled, and chased after him in two or three steps, "This address is much more pleasing to the ear than the previous one. However, we are also friends who are in trouble together. It is still too unfamiliar for you to call me son. Why don't you just call me by my name."

"The young master is joking, but the little girl can't afford it."

The more Lin Zhixiao's family looked at it, the more confused they became, and they said to Ping'er, "Ping'er, don't you really know who this person is?"

The handsomeness of this person, his words and deeds are also of noble birth, when he is silent, there is an aura of indifference from his body, making people afraid to approach him, not even to take a look at him.But when he opened his mouth, it didn't match his identity at all, especially when he always had a playful smile on Sister Feng's face.

This is so weird.

Before dark, Lin Zhixiao found an inn, and a group of people stayed in, thinking that when Sister Feng had enough fun, she would leave here and go elsewhere.

Sister Feng was not in a hurry to go to Lin's house, she stayed here for half a month, wishing she could visit the whole town.

This town is close to the pier, so it is very lively, whether it is scholars, ordinary people, or business people, you can see it everywhere.

The street was noisy, and Ping'er and Lin Zhixiao's family followed Sister Feng, protecting her carefully.There are many hawkers and stalls on both sides of the street, offering everything from jewelry to snacks.Seeing Sister Feng holding a pearl hairpin in front of the booth, Lin Zhixiao's family said: "If the girl likes it, I can accompany you to the jewelry store to buy some."

Not only Lin Zhixiao's family, but even the maids in the house look down on these from the bottom of their hearts.

Sister Feng said: "No need, I just take a look at it." Even so, Ping'er was asked to pay the money.

The crowd was bustling, Gu Xingchi looked at it and said in a low voice: "I don't know what the purpose of Miss Wang's trip is. However, since you and I have known each other once, and have helped me, if you need any help, just tell me, I will naturally help you." I will go all out to return the girl's favor."

Sister Feng thought to herself, you both use me and borrow my Wang family's boat, you owe me more than one favor.However, Gu Xingchi is not a simple person, maybe he can really help her.

Thinking of this, she said: "Since the young master said so, I will not be polite. I wonder if the young master knows a wandering doctor named Xia? It is said that he has been practicing medicine in the Jiangnan area for the past few years."

"Miraculous doctor Xia?" After a pause, Gu Xingchi said with a smile, "In this way, we will be more destined."

Sister Feng was puzzled, and was about to ask, when she heard him say, "Be careful."

After finishing speaking, I heard a scream, and then I heard a hoarse voice shouting: "You still dare to run, I bought you from someone else just to bring you to Beijing to sell for a good price, how dare you run away?" ?!"

This voice attracted other people's attention, and then they lost interest and walked away without anyone caring.Because they have long been familiar with it, buying and selling people is the most normal business.

Sister Feng also followed the sound and found several women hugging each other, their hands bound by ropes.Facing the man holding a whip in front of him, they all panicked and trembled.

These girls were all skinny and tender, the man was reluctant to really beat them, so he just whipped the whip to the ground to scare them.

Several women are good-looking, and the most outstanding one is the one shrunk at the back.She has a beautiful face, a graceful and slender figure, a delicate and timid temperament, and a rouge mark the size of a grain of rice between her eyebrows.

Sister Feng was terrified, she had seen this woman several times in her previous life, why did she meet her here today?

Without thinking too much, she said, "Wait."

She was about to walk over, but found that someone was pulling her arm.It was only then that she remembered that the kidnapper had bumped into her when he was chasing a few girls just now, and it was Gu Xingchi who helped her up in time.

Seeing her staring at him, Gu Xingchi hurriedly let go of him, Zhuang Ruowu said: "What are you going to do? Seeing injustice on the road, draw your sword to help?"

Sister Feng did not deny it.

Lin Zhixiao's family persuaded: "Girl, buying and selling girls is a very normal thing. If any of the girls in the capital in Beijing were not bought from these people, you don't care about them."

Sister Feng naturally understands this reason, she is not a disciple of Guanyin, and she doesn't have the heart of a bodhisattva, so she just said: "I will only buy one."

Lin Zhixiao's family frowned, "Is it because Qing'er and the others didn't serve them wholeheartedly? This is not the capital city, and the origin of these girls is unknown..."

Sister Feng interrupted: "I know, Mrs. Lin, she's just a girl."

Lin Zhixiao's family had no choice but to follow.Forget it, there's only one anyway, it's just an extra pair of bowls and chopsticks.

Gu Xingchi looked at Sister Feng's back and raised his lips.I heard her say to the kidnapper, "I want to take one away."
