Farming and reading lady

When Gu Xixian and his sister returned to the city happily from Yanyun Manor with a dozen cloud-patterned ink in their hands, the soldiers at the city gate handed them a wax-sealed letter and

Informed: "This is what Young Master Yan asked you to give it to."

Gu Xihao pointed at his nose to confirm again and again: "Did you teach us by name?"

The gatekeeper nodded without hesitation: "You are the Gu family siblings. The brother is Gu Xihao and the sister is Gu Xixian, right?"

The two nodded.

The gatekeeper said firmly, "That's right. He is the recipient designated by Master Yan."

The brother and sister took the letter reluctantly, but they were a little nervous in their hearts, but they didn't show it on their faces. After thanking the soldiers, Gu Xihao put the letter in his arms and looked at the time. It was noon, so they didn't stay for too long. They went straight to the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion. They didn't go back to Tong's Mansion directly because they didn't want to make the master's wife worry. When they arrived at the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion, they first apologized to the teacher and said that they happened to hear someone talking about Wenyun ink on the way. They were curious and followed without thinking it through. They even forgot to ask someone to ask for leave from the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion. The teacher didn't blame them too much because of the fragrant new ink in his hand.

Since they went to the place of origin, of course they came with a full load. The brothers of the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion and the Duke of Zhenguo all received a piece of cloud-patterned ink, and everyone just laughed it off for the two being late.

After finishing a day's study, the brother and sister asked for a ride from the Zhenguo Mansion's carriage for the first time. The Zhenguo Prince Yin Xiao's eyes flashed, and he quickly arranged a carriage to take the two out. Watching the carriage gradually go away, he raised his hand to call someone over and ordered: "Go and check what happened to cousin Hao and the others after they left Tong's mansion. You must check it carefully, or you can ask Yan Honglou directly for information."

Although these two little guys were very close to them, they were not the kind of people who would take advantage of others and did not want to trouble them with anything. But the people that Yin Xiao protected were not people who could be easily bullied.

The person who went out came back soon. Yin Xiao met him in the study and asked, "How is it?"

"I went directly to find Yan Honglou... The young master of the Yan family said that the matter has been settled and there are no consequences to worry about, so the prince does not need to intervene." The Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion has stood for so many years, it is not surprising that it has its own trump cards, and the ability of Yin Wei and others to do things is naturally first-class.

After hearing what Yin Wei said, Yin Xiao frowned: "It's really strange that the Yan family intervened in this matter."

Although he felt it was strange, Yin Xiao did not intend to further investigate why the Yan family intervened. He was not going to let it go just because of the two little guys. It seemed that the person who touched his Yin family was not ordinary. Yan Honglou did not say it, but it did not mean that he could not find out.

Gu Xihao and his sister had no idea of ​​Yin Xiao's thoughts. They returned to the Tong Mansion, greeted their teacher and his wife as usual, and went to their study together. Gu Xihao took out the letter from his arms, tore it open, took out the paper inside, opened it, and there was only one line of words on it: Five plus one in the grass at the north gate, the corpse turned into water, no more trouble! Signed: Yan Ming.

"Brother, who is this Yan Ming?" Putting aside the surprise of what happened, Gu Xixian asked curiously: "When did you two meet?"

Gu Xihao shook his head: "I have only heard of this name, but I don't know this person. It is said that he is the current young master of the Yan family."

"Is this Yan family very famous? What does it do?" Gu Xixian's eyes sparkled. Young Master So-and-so, that is a title that can only be given to people of prominent background.

Gu Xihao tapped his sister's forehead and said, "Curiosity kills the cat, that's what you said. I don't know what they do specifically, but I know it's an old, hidden family, and it looks very mysterious."

Gu Xixian pursed his lips and said, "Well, if he doesn't know, then he doesn't know. These big families must have countless hidden cards. It's not surprising that they know what we did today. But what does he want to get from us by leaving his name here? What can he get?"

Gu Xihao also pondered over it, but finally comforted him: "We have no way of remembering this matter, so let's not think about it. Anyway, there is no evidence, so we don't need to worry too much."

"Well, maybe he just wanted to do a good deed and leave a name for himself." Gu Xixian also nodded.

Sometimes the truth is just so coincidental. In Yan Honglou, Yan Yunqing looked at his cousin and said, "When will you change your hobby of always wanting to leave a name for yourself when doing good deeds?"

"Why should I change it? If I do good deeds without leaving my name, then wouldn't all my efforts be in vain? Doing funeral ceremonies is not the Yan family's style." Yan Ming glanced at him and said as a matter of course.
