The Grand Secretary’s Pampered Wife

"Shou Fu Jiao Niang ()"

"You know him?" Liao Chen looked at Gu Jiao.

Gu Jiao said: "Oh, he has been watching Bishui Hutong for a long time, and even bought a golden abacus that has passed through the clear space. He claims to be Mr. Mingyue."

Liao Chen looked at the other party again, his eyes turned cold: "Are you here for the clear sky? Who are you?"

Young Master Mingyue also recognized Gu Jiao. He rubbed his chest, straightened up and said to Chen angrily, "I didn't come after that little monk! I came here for you!"

Liao Chen: "Me?"

Young Master Mingyue said angrily: "I have been inquiring about your whereabouts for the past few years! It was hard to track down your temple, but you rarely show up, so I have to keep an eye on your apprentice! I tracked you down from Zhao Kingdom. Yan country, from Yan country to stare here again..."

It's just that Liaochen's whereabouts are too secretive, even if he keeps staring at Xiaoqingkong, there will always be times when he misses it.

Liaochen asked puzzledly: "Why are you staring at me? I don't know you."

Young Master Mingyue said coldly: "You don't know me, but you hurt my people and took away my things! You hurry up and return the things to me! Otherwise, I want you to look good!"

"So it's about the two of you." Gu Jiao suppressed her murderous aura, held the red-tasseled gun in her arms, and started to watch the play in a leisurely manner.

Liao Chen is not a person who can be threatened. He hooked his red lips mockingly and said, "Oh? You said I took your things, do you have evidence?"

Master Mingyue's face darkened: "The guard is dead, there is no witness, but you know best if you took it or not!"

Liaochen smiled lightly: "What did I take from you?"

Young Master Mingyue said angrily: "Sword!"

"Sword..." Liaochen smiled casually, "Many people have given me swords, but which one was given to me by your guard?"

Young Master Mingyue said angrily: "What is it for you? You obviously snatched it!"

Liao Chen looked at him with a half-smile, not angered by his words at all.

Young Master Mingyue also knows that he is now the passive side, his skills have been affected a bit, and he is no match for these people now.

You can't fight, you can only reason with the opponent.

Young Master Mingyue turned his head and looked at Gu Jiao: "Girl, I spent five hundred taels of silver to buy an abacus from your younger brother, but you snatched the abacus back later, but you didn't give me any money. If you paid me such a sum of money, will you at least prove my character to him?"

"Oh." Gu Jiao said to Chen, "As you can see, it's still quite a beating."

Young Master Mingyue: "..."

He took a deep breath: "Forget it, I won't argue with you. That sword is my... my father took a lot of effort to find the sword. My father passed away, and it is the only thing I want in this world." Think, you can make an offer, and I am willing to make a deal with you."

The man spoke generously, and Li Chen became a little interested: "What does your sword look like?"

Young Master Mingyue said: "The black iron sword, the scabbard and hilt are engraved with royal blue peacock feathers!"

Liao Chen narrowed his eyes slightly, and thought deeply: "Hearing what you said, I seem to have seen such a sword."

A trace of eagerness flashed across the eyes of Young Master Mingyue: "As long as you are willing to return it to me! I will pay you any amount of money!"

Liao Chen spread his hands: "It's a pity that you came late, the sword is not in my hand, I think it is too heavy, so I threw it away."

Young Master Mingyue was stunned: "Throw, throw? How come...you better not lie to me!"

Gu Jiao thought: What is there to lie to you? A prodigal monk who can even throw a Fuxiqin into a charcoal basin as firewood, is it strange to throw you a sword?

Liaochen said innocently: "I didn't lie to you, believe it or not, I really threw it away."

"Where did you throw it?" Young Master Mingyue asked.

Liaochen smiled: "I don't remember that. I threw away so many things, how can I remember them all?"

Master Mingyue choked: "You!"

"Let's go." Liaochen ignored him and led Gu Jiao out of the alley.

"You really don't remember?" Gu Jiao asked.

Liao Chen said lightly: "I remember and I don't tell him."

Dare to attack his apprentice, he doesn't know how to live or die!

If he didn't take his life today, it was all for him!

"Go in." Liao Chen sent Gu Jiao to the door of the house, hesitated, and decided to tell her, "It happened several years ago, in Yan Country, I didn't take the initiative to snatch it, but his guards brought it to the door. His guard bullied the helpless old man in the tea shed, I couldn't see him, so I taught him a lesson. I'm not interested in weapons, so I sold them to an iron shop near Shengdu."

Gu Jiao had an epiphany: "So that's how it is."

...

In the alley, the guard in gray found his son.

Seeing his young master holding the wall with one hand and covering his chest with the other, as if he was injured, he strode over, grabbed his arm, and said, "Young master! What's wrong with you? Are you feeling unwell again?"

Master Mingyue said with a pale face: "I went to catch that little monk just now, who would have expected that person to appear..."

The guard in gray frowned and said, "He hurt you?"

"My body is getting weaker and weaker, and I am not his opponent." Young Master Mingyue took a breath, "He said that the sword is not in his hand, it doesn't look like he is lying."

The guard in gray was shocked: "What? The sword is not in his hand? Then we have been staring at his apprentice in vain for so long? Young master, your situation is getting worse, or... let's go back?"

Young Master Mingyue looked at the pitch-black night, and said with a complicated expression: "Without a sword, we can't go back."

...

That night, Gu Jiao rested in Bishui Hutong.

An Guogong came out of the palace and took a carriage back to the mansion bought by his servants.

Guanshi Zheng also came to Zhaoguo, he smiled and said to An Guogong: "Young master... er... No, it's time to change the name to Miss. Miss will not come back tonight, will you be sad?"

An Guogong smiled: "What's so sad about this? She has been with me for so long, and she should go back to accompany her mother. There are many people who love her, and I am too happy. Oh, by the way, remember to count the dowry , I always feel that it is not enough, and I want to buy some more. The wedding date has been brought forward to next month, so I have to hurry up, let's go tomorrow!"

Guanshi Zheng was dumbfounded.

Isn't that enough, my lord, isn't that enough?

Are you all red makeup?

Marrying a princess is not such a big deal.

In the dowry he brought, in addition to the family property he had earned over the years, there was also the dowry that Xuanyuan Zi brought into the Duke's mansion back then. When he spent all his wealth to collect the body of Xuanyuan's son, he did not touch Xuanyuan Zi's dowry.

Now it's all brought over by Gu Jiao.

If so, he still wants to give her more.

...

The next day, Guanshi Zheng came to Bishui Hutong.

It stands to reason that An Guogong wanted to visit Yao Shi, but Yao Shi was a female family member, so it was somewhat inconvenient, so Anguo Gong only asked Zheng Guanshi to come to the door and deliver some special products of Yan Kingdom, which was regarded as a greeting to each other.

Yao shi said softly: "The Duke has a heart, thank him for me."

Yao asked his servants to prepare a gift in return, and brought it along with Gu Jiao when she went to visit An Guogong next time.

After Zheng Guanshi left, Gu Jiao was ready to go out.

She had greeted her uncle and grandpa last night, but she hadn't seen her aunt yet.

She plans to go to the palace in a while.

It just so happened that Yao Shi also wanted to buy some beautiful jewelry for Gu Jiao. Although there was no shortage of jewelry at home, they were all old styles. She wanted her daughter to choose them herself.

The mother and daughter hugged Gu Xiaobao, took the candied fruit made by the uncle, and boarded the carriage.

Their itinerary today is to buy jewelry together first, and then visit the aunt in the palace together.

"Auntie." Gu Xiaobao said.

Gu Jiao looked at him curiously.

Yao Shi laughed and said, "The Empress Dowager gives him delicious food every time she comes. He really likes Auntie."

Gu Xiaobao was wearing tiger-toed shoes and a tiger-headed hat today, looking tiger-like and full of tits.

Gu Jiao really couldn't hold back, and gently pinched his little cheek.

"Do you want my sister to hug me?" Yao asked.

Gu Xiaobao threw himself into his mother's arms, kicking his little feet excitedly.

The three came to Baolinxuan, the largest jewelry shop in the capital.

Gu Xiaobao doesn't like to walk, so when he went to open the door for Gu Jiao yesterday, he already finished walking for a month.

Yao Shi was going to put him on the ground, but he curled up his calves, his feet couldn't touch the ground.

Yao Shi had no choice but to hold him in his arms.

Gu Jiao had a marriage contract and wore a veil according to the custom of the capital.

Her birthmark was covered, and her eyes were so beautiful that people couldn't take their eyes off, but when her veil was blown up by the wind, revealing the red birthmark on her left face, everyone immediately shook their heads in disappointment.

Yao frowned, holding her daughter's hand distressedly.

Gu Jiao: "I'm fine."

She is used to these gazes.

Yao shi took a deep breath: "It is right to advance the wedding date."

Shougong sand is about to fall... soon...

"What?" Gu Jiao asked.

Yao's eyes flashed, and he said with a sneer: "Ah, I mean... your wedding date is brought forward, which is very good."

As soon as the words were finished, a little servant girl came to the side and called out to Mrs. Yao, "Ma'am!"

Yao shi paused, and looked at each other together with Gu Jiao.

The little servant girl came to her and bowed respectfully: "It's really you! The young master is here too!"

Gu Xiaobao had a cold face.
