Except for Liu Nianchu, who was kept in the dark, almost everyone was waiting for Zhou Xu's next move.

Liu Nianchu was the apple of Taifu Liu's eye, but Liu Nianchu didn't want to make a big deal out of it.

Just close the door and invite some close relatives and friends to a wedding banquet.

However, even so, the servants in Taifu's house were still busy with their feet on the ground.

The Wang Family Courtyard was even more joyful. The Queen Mother was wearing a dress she bought at a high price, looking refreshed and showing off in front of her neighbors.

She seemed to touch the golden hairpin on her head inadvertently: "I don't understand these either. They are all sent by someone from Taifu's Mansion. I guess it was Miss Liu's intention. She is a considerate and sensible person. I guess this hairpin is too heavy.

It’s a bargain, it shows that Miss Liu values ​​our Wang family.”

Several women around her were wearing white and coarse blouses that had been washed, which formed a sharp contrast with her.

"By the way, in three days, my son will be very happy. I can't invite you all to drink, so I'll treat you all to some wedding cakes to celebrate the occasion. This wedding cake was bought from the most famous pastry shop in Lin'an. Just one piece is enough.

It’s worth a lot of money.”

The Queen Mother was secretly happy and satisfied, and her eyes were full of pride. She opened the cloth bag in her hand, which was filled with wedding cakes.

The people around me rolled their eyes, who wouldn't take advantage of it?

At that moment, someone put on a smiling face: "Then I have to try it."

"Mrs. Wang, when you get rich and wear gold and silver in the future, don't turn your back on us poor neighbors."

"Yes, yes, this Wang An has been promising since he was a child. I saw it early on."

Listening to these flattery, the Queen Mother felt very happy.

When she returned to the Wang's courtyard proudly, the flattering look in the eyes of the women around her disappeared.

"It's just a piece of wedding cake. It's worth what she said. Why is it expensive? She didn't buy it."

"It's really funny. Why don't you treat us to a drink? It's just that her mother and son plan to move into the Tutor's Mansion tomorrow. The Wang family has been completely cut off. If the Wang father knew about it, he might have to crawl out from under the ground."

The Queen Mother was destined to be unable to hear these words.

After she returned to the courtyard, she saw Wang An walking in and out of the dilapidated house, sorting out the items brought into the Liu Mansion.

"Mom, if you have time, you can also pack up the things you plan to bring into the Liu family."

"Liu Mansion is so prominent, so nothing."

Queen Mother: "These clothes are all worn out, why do I need to bring them with me? The Liu Mansion will naturally have to prepare new ones for you, my uncle."

With a "creak" sound, the door was opened by someone outside.

The visitor walked steadily, glanced at the two of them casually, and flicked his elastic robe.

He has narrow and slanted eyes, a tall and slender figure, and a slightly fluttering scarlet robe. His whole body looks noble and elegant.

"Wang An?"

His thin lips parted slightly, and his voice was like a pearl falling from a plate.

Wang An was stunned and felt a chill go down his back because of the arrogance in the man.

But it's obvious that the other party's status is extremely noble.

Wang An hurriedly stepped forward: "I am exactly the same, I wonder who you are?"

Gu Huaizhi looked tired and obviously did not want to reply. After all, not everyone was qualified to know his identity.

If Zhou Xu hadn't rarely asked him to do something, how could Gu Huaizhi have deigned to come here.

Looking at the two people in front of them, especially the Queen Mother, the greed in their eyes is about to overflow.

Today's dynasty is dominated by traitors and sycophants. Gu Huaizhi never thinks that greed is the original sin, but being greedy for the person Zhou Xu likes is another matter.

Gu Huaizhi said calmly: "This is a thousand taels of silver notes. I will send someone to take you out of Lin'an."

The Queen Mother's eyes are almost straight, but the Liu family can give her a thousand taels, right?

She's not stupid!

Wang An was even more wary and even said with a stern face: "Master, please come back."

If it were not for the fear of offending someone, the Queen Mother would have driven him out: "Whose son are you from? You are so rude. I will be the mother-in-law of Miss Liu in Taifu Liu's house in the future. Naturally, I will not leave Lin'an!"

Don't agree?

A sigh escaped from Gu Huaizhi's mouth.

Don't let him use force.

He raised his hand and raised his index finger slightly.

"Throw it out of Lin'an, as far as it goes."

Chang Su understood: "Yes."

————

The streets of Lin'an are bustling and noisy. The sounds of vendors on the streets are endless.

However, the study room of the General's Mansion was completely silent.

Mu Youde had a look of fear all over his body. He looked coldly at the tired-looking Mu Hansheng in front of him and said: "Nowadays, there are internal and external troubles, and the situation is getting more serious. But it's good for you that I haven't seen you for a few days."

He put down the tea in his hand heavily, and heard a "bang" sound, which shook the military books on the table three times, and the tea splashed everywhere.

"You know how to come back!"

Mu Hansheng's hands under his sleeves tightened again and again. However, this time he went out was different from the past, and he gained something.

A few days ago, while riding a horse in an alley in Liuzhou, a child suddenly ran over. Mu Hansheng quickly tightened the reins, thus averting a disaster.

The child was probably surprised and burst into tears. Mu Hansheng rolled over and dismounted, and when he was about to comfort her, he saw the necklace hanging around her neck.

Mu Hansheng could not be mistaken.

Except for the material used, the appearance is a bit rough, but the one worn by Jiao Jiao is generally the same.

The necklace that Jiao Jiao is wearing is a tribute from the feudal state. Not to mention anything else, the flower carved on the jade is the national flower of the feudal state. It is expensive and ordinary people cannot afford it, and it is only available to the royal family of the feudal state.

The stringed agates and pearls are even engraved with blessings in Fan script. The only one in the world.

It was difficult for Jiang Yi to give birth to Jiao Jiao, but she became increasingly weak afterwards and even alarmed the entire hospital.

The late empress wanted to admire the loyalty of her family for generations, so she ordered people to send supplements, and also gave this meaningful necklace, wishing Jiaojiao a worry-free life.

Mu Hansheng's head was buzzing.

The blood all over his body boiled instantly.

He heard himself ask: "Where did this come from?"

The girl's mother rushed up to her. Seeing that Mu Hansheng had no intention of blaming her, and did not bother to comfort her child, she quickly said, "This is the work of a civilian woman and her husband."

"He worked as a clerk in Wei's pawnshop six years ago. He saw it and thought it looked good, so he made one according to the pattern."

Mu Hansheng did not dare to delay and hurried to the Wei family pawnshop deep in the alley.

The store was deserted, and the shopkeeper was counting his income with a gloomy face. When he saw someone coming in, well-dressed, he hurriedly came forward to greet them.

Before he could say anything flattering, the man asked hurriedly: "Eleven years ago, did the shopkeeper receive a necklace?"

Before he could explain the style of the Yingluo in detail, the shopkeeper said: "Take it! It's obvious at first glance that the item is not an ordinary item, but the young master arrived late and had been bought long ago."

"Do you still remember the person who pawned the pawn?"

How come the shopkeeper doesn’t remember?

A couple dressed in tatters were holding a dying girl in their arms. The girl's face was as pale as the snow outside, and even her eyelashes were covered with a layer of frost.

"After all, it's a wild man from a mountain village who doesn't understand its value. He took this out, knelt on the ground and begged me to exchange it for ten taels of silver."
