Abduct a Fallen Immortal to Double Cultivate

It was already late when Shu Manhua returned to Duke Ning's mansion that night, and went directly to his room to rest after returning.

On the other hand, Nanrong Chengzhao on the other side hadn't rested yet, just after Kou Jingzhe's room door was closed, a figure appeared out of thin air in Nanrong Chengzhao's room.

The figure knelt on one knee, and respectfully said to Nan Rong Chengzhao who was sitting at the table reading a book: "Master, Kou Jingzhe visited the old Zhong family in Kyoto today, and took out Zhong Deyuan's tokens and handwriting. All the properties of the family are already under the name of Kou Jingzhe."

Nanrong Chengzhao raised his eyebrows, which is interesting, "That Kou Jingzhe actually holds Zhong Deyuan's letters and handwriting, why has he been bullied in the Mansion for so many years? Judging from the results of Rongyi's investigation today, Kou Jingzhe these years Jingzhe's life in the Kou Mansion is worse than that of the lowest servant."

The figure lowered his head, "This subordinate dare not speculate."

"It's okay, I don't want you to speculate on me, let's hear it boldly."

"Yes. My subordinates think there are two possibilities. First, Kou Jingzhe may still be grateful for Kou Qianshan's kindness in giving birth. Aunt Xue aside, Qianshan is his biological father after all. Until today, when the pond fell into the water, Kou Qianshan only cared about it. It was only because of Yuansi that Kou Jingzhe gave up completely. The second one is that Kou Jingzhe only learned today that Zhong Deyuan's keepsake was hidden in the wooden bow. Although he had always had [-] wooden bows before, he never knew about it. There is something in it, maybe it was moved to the Duke's mansion, maybe it was bumped and bumped, only to find out that something is wrong

Nanrong Chengzhao shook his head, knocking on the book in his hand, "This Kou family young man is definitely not a soft-hearted person. He obviously couldn't swim before, but in order to prevent Yuansi from framing him, he directly Then he jumped into the pond, and almost drowned himself. A person who can be so cruel to himself will only be more cruel to others. As for the fact that he just found out that the token was in the wooden bow, this possibility is not great. Look I think he has planned it for a long time. It’s just that it’s not convenient for him to act in the mansion. Now I brought him out, but it’s fulfilled him. Rong Er, do you think I brought Jing Zhe back, is it because he deliberately guided me? the result of?"

Rong Er remained motionless, "The subordinates think that Ju Jingzhe doesn't have this ability. According to Rong Yi's investigation, Kou Qianshan didn't ask Ju Jingzhe for a teacher at the beginning, and later, when Ju Yuansi reached the age of studying, he began to ask for a teacher. Jingzhe started teaching two years later. Not only that, but he also instructed the teacher to just teach Kou Yuansi well, regardless of Kou Jingzhe's upbringing. Even so, Jingzhe is not very smart, and it is impossible for him to have a calculating master."

"Whether you are smart or not is not judged by how much you read. Some people read thousands of volumes, but they are nerds. Some people have never read a single book, but they have the ability to plan strategies. And there are some smart people who need Hiding clumsiness for self-preservation."

"Master has already determined that Kou Jingzhe is a smart person, and he has been hiding in order to protect himself in the house.

clumsy. "

"Well, this guy is a bit interesting. Before, he was just a guy with a gloomy personality who doesn't like to talk. It's a good disguise. I really haven't seen such an interesting person for a long time."

Rong Er didn't intervene anymore, he knew that since the master said so, it meant that he would intervene in this matter, and he was not helping Qian Qianshan.

"After contacting the old members of the Zhong family, what actions did those people take?"

"The stewards of the Zhong family are all looking for someone."

"Oh? Who?"

"My subordinates initially found out that it was a maid who was in the Zhongfu in the south of the Yangtze River. This maid disappeared after Kou Jingzhe's mother Zhong Yiqiu died of illness. Now these stewards are all looking for the whereabouts of this maid. It was Yu Jingzhe who asked them to find it^"

Nanrong Chengzhao put down his book and said to himself: "What did he do with such a maid? She disappeared without a trace after Zhong Yiqiu passed away... Could it be that Zhong Yiqiu's death was not simply a postpartum weakness and illness?" , but another reason? And this maid may know the truth!"

"This subordinate also speculates in the same way. At present, this subordinate has arranged for Rong Si and Rong Wu to investigate this matter. As soon as there is a result, they will send back the news and report."

"If you find the maid first, don't make a fuss for the time being, bring it back, and I will interrogate it myself.

"Yes!"

"Go down."

Eiji backed away, finally disappearing into the shadows.

The room was restored to silence again. Nanrong Chengzhao squinted his eyes slightly, reflecting the dancing candles in his eyes. He rubbed the pages of the book unconsciously with his fingers. It was true that no one could arouse his interest for a long time. is also interesting.

"Rong—."

It seemed that there was only Nanrong Chengzhao in the room, but there was another voice responding, "Master."

"Starting tomorrow, you will also follow Kou Jingzhe. If he has any troubles, help him solve it within your ability."

"Yes, then should Aunt Xue and Kou Yuansi pay attention?"

"Get someone to keep an eye on it, but you don't have to do anything for them."

Aunt Xue and Yuansi are both relatives of Nanrong Chengzhao. If it were someone else, Shu Manhua might be in trouble, but Nanrong Chengzhao is not the kind of person who would favor relatives.He has already been cleaned up by the help of Qian Qianshan and Aunt Xue to his mother in the past, and even worse.Now, he only cares about whichever suits him best, and helps whichever one, obviously now he is more inclined towards Jingzhe

It's also because Qianshan and Aunt Xue's eating looks are so ugly, not to mention coveting the family property that should belong to Jingzhe, and treating Jingzhe so harshly, even he can't stand it anymore.However, if this Jing Zhe was quick soft tofu, he might not be able to help.This is a world where the weak prey on the strong. If Kou Jingzhe is too weak, even without Qian Qianshan and Aunt Xue, sooner or later he will fall into the hands of others.

But if Kou Jingzhe has the ability to overthrow the Kou family, he is also willing to watch the fun and do a little favor by the way.

In the past few days, Shumanhua has been investigating the matter of the maid back then, and she is always away from the Duke's mansion. Even if Kou Yuansi wanted to trouble him, he couldn't find anyone else.And Nanrong Chengzhao also seems to be very busy, seeing no one all day long.Kou Yuansi managed to get the people around him to find out that Nanrong Chengzhao was back, and he left again as soon as he went to find everyone, so after four or five days, he didn't catch up with Kou Jingzhe, and he didn't seize the opportunity to talk to Nanrong Chengzhao. Repair relationships.He himself just thought it was a lot of luck, but the two servants who followed him thought that it was probably the Duke of the country who deliberately avoided seeing their young master.

Kou Yuansi was so angry that he went back to the mansion to complain to Aunt Xue.

Aunt Xue also felt sorry for Yu Yuansi, and it was probably due to a psychological effect. She always felt that her precious son had become much weaker after not seeing him for a few days. _Thinking that this was all caused by Kou Jingzhe's anger, Aunt Xue hated her so much that she wished she could find a way to get Kou Jingzhe dealt with.

When Kou Qianshan came back at noon, Hammer was depressed, and even seeing Yuansi couldn't make him feel better.

Aunt Xue gave Kou Yuansi a wink, and the latter stood beside Yu Qianshan, obediently rubbing his shoulders, like a filial son.

"Father, what's wrong with you?"

"What else can I do? I'm just worrying about the banquet in the palace. Everything to be purchased at the banquet is almost done, and the only thing that needs to be purchased is the Sichuan brocade. I made an agreement with Boss Li at the beginning. According to the price of 40 taels of gold, As a result, he changed his mind when it was time to deliver the goods! He wanted to mention the original price of 50 taels of gold. This one was ten taels more, and I wanted to buy fifty. This is 500 taels of gold! How to make it up for him? When I changed the price before, I trusted him. I didn’t sign anything on the document. Now he asks me for money according to the original document of 50 taels, and I don’t say anything. I was really cheated by him!"

Kou Yuansi rolled his eyes, "Father, how do I remember that the market price of this Shu brocade seems to be 60 taels of yellow brocade? You can only buy more than 50 taels at a time to deduct [-] taels for each piece. The [-] taels you signed before is not much."

Kou Qianshan sighed, "It's really not much. If it weren't for the fact that the original price was cheaper than the outside price, Boss Li didn't dare to break the contract at will. He just knew that even if he didn't follow the 40 taels that he said at that time, his place would be the cheapest. I won't buy it from someone else's house!"

"Since this is the case, then father will just give the money! The money allocated from the palace should be based on the normal price outside, right?"

Qian Qianshan's face flickered, and he turned around and reprimanded Kou Yuansi, "How dare you say that? If you hadn't clamored for the emerald screen with a 40% discount at that time, I wouldn't have spent that money so quickly! Now The money has been filled in, and the rest is only enough to pay [-] taels per horse! What do you say?"

Yuansi was so wronged by the scolding that he asked for a [-]-fold screen, but the set of golden nanmu tables and chairs that his father liked at that time was obviously more expensive than his own screen. In turn, blame it on yourself.

Kou Yuansi, who had never been scolded by his parents much, thought he wanted to refute. Aunt Xue tugged at his sleeve, frowned at him and shook her head. It's not good for Shan to knead his shoulders too hard.

"Hey! What are you doing so hard? I'm angry at you? You still want to squeeze me to death, don't you?"

"No, no." Kou Yuansi was even more aggrieved, defending in a low voice like a mosquito.

He has been spoiled since he was a child, and he is more delicate than girls from other families, without the masculinity of a man, nor the elegance of a literati.In the past, Yu Qianshan loved him, but he didn't care about it, but today he was angry, so he saw that something was not pleasing to the eye, waved his hand to let Yu Yuansi stand aside, and complained about his many faults.

Seeing Kou Yuansi's increasingly ugly face, Aunt Xue felt distressed, so she had to interrupt to divert Qian Qianshan's attention.

"In this case, we can only take money from home to make up for the shortfalls."

Aunt Xue originally wanted to save her son from the siege, but she didn't expect to set Qian Qianshan on fire as soon as she said that, and instantly caught herself on fire.

"Taking money from home? How can there be any money at home?" Kou Qianshan slapped the table, showing a posture to settle accounts with Aunt Xue, "Just say that this year you have added a few sets of Nanzhu's face that is not inferior to the empress of the harem? There is also a pair of autumn-scented jade bracelets bought from southern Burma. Nowadays, noble concubines use copper daisy, but you use snail dais produced in Persia, and the complete set of bird hairpin jade head scratching and gold step shaking, let alone There are so many pearl powders and rose dew, how much did you buy that eight-treasure necklace at Liuxin Auction House a month ago? I don’t even think about who you are, how can you wear that necklace ring? Just look in the mirror at home and make yourself happy!"

If Kou Qianshan's mouth is really bad, otherwise Zhong Yiqiu couldn't be mad at the beginning.Don't look at how he usually hurts Kou Yuansi and is directed at Aunt Xue, but this has to be based on the premise of not violating his own interests.

It's fine if there is no such thing as Boss Li's change of mind in advance. Now that there is such a commotion, he starts to criticize Aunt Xue and Kou Yuansi mercilessly, thinking that he has no money now because he was harmed by them.As for himself, in his opinion, the money is his, and he can't spend it too much.
