Lin Chenyao climbed over the wall and left the Hou Mansion. When he saw a black shadow standing on the wall of the house opposite, he knew that it was Xiao Jingxuan who had left Chu Xinyu before.

"It was two quarters of an hour later than expected." Xiao Jingxuan said.

Lin Chenyao glanced at him, "I thought you were gone."

Xiao Jingxuan said: "You haven't left, why can I leave with peace of mind?"

Lin Chenyao raised his eyebrows slightly, "Aren't you going to entrust her to me?"

"But you haven't gotten married yet. If someone discovers her reputation..."

Lin Chenyao interrupted him and said, "If you care about her reputation, you shouldn't have appeared in her room tonight."

"..." Xiao Jingxuan said for a long time: "You know, I was monitored by them, afraid that they would be unfavorable to her, otherwise she would not be entrusted to you."

"You are not incapable of protecting her." Lin Chenyao didn't understand him. How could a prince not protect a woman?

Xiao Jingxuan said: "I'm not afraid to tell you that King Jin seems to be interested in Yu'er. He also wants to attack me. If I protect her too much, it will harm her."

He has the ability to protect her, but Xiao Jingsheng has always targeted him. If he had excessive protection for Chu Xinyu, it would have attracted him to fight. If Chu Xinyu was Lin Chenyao's fiancée, Xiao Jingsheng had always wanted to win over Lin Chenyao, so he would not dare to have any inappropriate thoughts about Chu Xinyu.

What he felt most guilty about in his previous life was that Chu Xinyu died because of him. In this life, he would try his best to make her happy, and a pair of people in his life, even if these happiness was not given by him!

Although he did not agree with Lin Chenyao's appearance in Chu Xinyu's boudoir, he believed that his character would not do anything too much to Chu Xinyu. The reason why he said this was to remind Lin Chenyao to pay attention to Chu Xinyu's reputation and not let people catch a handle.

At the same time, he also tried to find out that Lin Chenyao was also very concerned about Chu Xinyu, otherwise he would not be angry when he saw himself appearing in her boudoir and wanted to drive him away. As for how much he "cared about", it would be a good start.

"There is indeed some problems in Deng Guozhu, and it is best for you to check it out." Xiao Jingxuan suddenly changed the topic and turned to Chu Xinyu's question.

Lin Chenyao jumped onto the wall, and the two jumped into the yard together. The owner of the house had moved away, leaving an old servant guarding him. It was the third day of the day and the surroundings were very quiet. The two came to the stone table in the yard to sit down.

Lin Chenyao asked: "What do you think is his problem?"

Xiao Jingxuan replied: "His source of funds."

In his previous life, he did not have a wealthy businessman Deng Guozhu. He seemed to have come out of nowhere. At that time, he didn't pay much attention to this person, but when he donated supplies to the army and did good deeds everywhere, he seemed to have predicted that when the disaster occurred, his rescue supplies would be prepared to be transported, donated thousands of stones of rice, porridge and medicine, and then he began to pay attention to this person.

In just a few years, Deng Guozhu's business has grown bigger and bigger, and his reputation has become well-known in the business world. Because he is enthusiastic about charity and is willing to give kindness, he has won the reputation of "Deng Daliangren".

He found that Deng Guozhu's financial situation was really wrong and was about to start investigating him, but he didn't expect that Chu Xinyu wanted to investigate him too. Since that was the case, he followed the situation and pushed this task to Lin Chenyao. He is now the person the emperor trusts the most, and it is best for him to investigate.

Xiao Jingxuan said: "This person is from Huaihe County. Many years ago, there was a plague in Huaihe County. That year, many people died. Because of this, he could not find anything he had done before. He only found out that he had been in the coastal areas for fishing and buying aquatic products a few years before his success. But if he had no connections, he would not have risen in the business world in such a short time."

Lin Chenyao guessed: "Do you suspect that the person behind him is King Jin?"

"Yes." Xiao Jingxuan nodded, "The King of Jin had been traveling around two years ago, called "Traveling around in the mountains and rivers, but we all know what his purpose is."

He had memories of his previous life. King Jin made friends with the sovereignty in various places in the name of traveling, and even people from all walks of life and all kinds of people were connected with him. His best attitude was to win over people's hearts.

After the prince died of illness, it gradually spread among the people that when King Jin was young, he traveled to various places and did many good deeds, such as setting up porridge factories, charity halls, and charity pavilions. He secretly sent people to do it, and persuaded local officials to donate money to provide disaster relief. Everyone said that he was low-key in doing good deeds and was kind-hearted, so he immediately won the hearts of the people.

Later he realized that these were all planned for him behind his back. In fact, those good deeds were not done by him at all, and they were all due to Fu Yinghua. But in order to promote him to the top and win over the people's hearts, he did so.

There are many things different in this life. At least he will not let the things from the previous life happen in this life. If it is found out that Deng Guozhu is from there and there is a problem with his financial path, he will never let him continue.

The two sat here for about half an hour, and after discussing, they left.

Xiao Jingxuan went to Honglefang first, which was a sluggish place mainly singing and dancing, but unlike brothels, the girl inside was selling her skills but not selling herself. He entered through a secret door in the backyard. After a while, when he came out again, he had changed his clothes, but disguised himself as a middle-aged man with a bearded face and went out swaggeringly from the main entrance.

After he walked out, a man of medium figure followed him from afar, until he saw him climbing into the back door of the Qin Palace, and then turned around and walked back.

...

King of Jin’s mansion, King of Jin’s bedroom.

The fire was incense, the gauze tent was swaying, and several rolls of clothes were wrapped around the ground. A purple brocade robe and a red silk robe was covered with a slanted slanting.

The woman's broken and light panting sound came out of the tent.

Suddenly, a rapid knock on the door interrupted the woman's voice.

"What's up?"

In the tent, the man's low voice was a little dumb.

"Master, the secret guard is back."

The gauze tent was lifted open, and the man came out in his naked top, picked up the brocade robe on the ground and put it on.

"Master..."

The man glanced sideways at his hand pulling his clothes, his white fingers are as jade as jade.

"I will come back if I go."

Jade hand then let go.

In the study, Xiao Jingsheng sat behind the desk table, and the secret guard stepped forward and said respectfully: "Master, my subordinates have been following the King of Qin. He disguised himself as a middle-aged man and entered the Honglefang. It was not until the fourth update that the genius came out of the house."

Upon hearing this, Xiao Jingsheng frowned and confirmed: "He really pretended to be a middle-aged man and entered Honglefang. Are you reading it wrong?"

The secret guard shook his head, "I watched him come out of the back door of the palace, and acted cautiously. Although I disguised myself as someone else, my height and posture when I walked were definitely his. My subordinate did not admit his mistake."

"After entering, are you sure he hasn't left?"

"No, my subordinates watched him enter Miss Ruyan's room."

A man next to him smiled and said, "I usually see the King of Qin as extraordinary, but I didn't expect that he would be so good at this. Miss Ruyan is beautiful and charming, and her figure is incomparable to ordinary young women."

He was Tang Ming, the confidant counselor of King Jin. He was from the imperial examination and was a second-class Jinshi. Because his career was not going well, he joined the King of Jin as a counselor.

Liu Ruyan was originally an official girl, but because of her family's decline, she sold herself to Honglefang. She was twenty-two years old. When a woman was the most beautiful, she was charming and charming, and she exuded a mature and prosperous charm, which made men fascinated.

Xiao Jingsheng smiled and said, "The more pure a man is, the more he is, the more he is. Since he likes this, it is better to just follow the favor and give him one."

"You mean..."

"Yes, it's time for her to repay her for so long."

"Okay, I'll go and arrange it." Tang Ming suddenly remembered something, "Seven days later it will be King Jing's birthday. He invited all the princes. King Jing has a good relationship with King Qin, so he will definitely go, it's better..."

"I'll let you do this."

...

Outside the window, the morning glow is gorgeous, bright and charming. The lotus in the small pond in the yard was still pointed yesterday. After a night, it actually bloomed a lot, pink and tender, on the branches, trembling slightly in the breeze of early summer, which makes people feel pity.

Chu Xinyu got up, had breakfast, and asked someone to put pens and ink on the small stone table in the yard, nailed the paper to a tripod, and began to carefully describe the portrait.

There is no Yuan family in Xiaozhuyuan, so now she doesn’t have to hide what she wants to do.

She promised to help Lin Chenyao draw two paintings, and she will finish them today, but she first painted a portrait. Lin Chenyao said she would come to get it tonight, but why is this portrait a girl? Who is she?

After she finished painting, the girl was very beautiful, between the age of twenty-four and fifteen. However, as she looked at her, she suddenly realized that the girl looked familiar, but she didn't remember seeing her at the moment.

Sometimes it is like this. If you think about it deliberately, you can't figure it out. Chu Xinyu took down the portrait, took the bamboo silk into the study, then nailed new paper and drew lotus flowers.

Halfway through the drawing, I saw Danqing hurried in and said, "Girl, Grandma San takes her cousin out, and she is going to apologize to those girls."

Chu Xinyu heard about it. It is said that the second girl from the Dingyuan Hou Mansion invited Yang Lianxin to her mansion to listen to the opera. Not only did she invite Yang Lianxin, but even Chu Jiating also invited her, but she did not invite her.

She didn't care about it at first, and even if she invited her, she didn't have time to go, not to mention that her feet were not completely healed. Although she could walk a few steps, she could not stand for too long.

"I heard that Dingyuan Hou Mansion also invited Princess Zhaoyang, Princess Funing County, the second girl of the Fu family, Miss Yang and others. There were originally those who invited the second girl, but the girl pushed her." Zhu Bo said beside him.

Zi Ling said, "What does the second girl in Dingyuan Hou's Mansion mean? She invited so many girls from aristocratic families in the capital, and even cousin girls, but we are not invited?"

Danqing also said angrily: "That's right, whether to go or not is another matter. She clearly looks down on others?"

Chu Xinyu smiled when she saw them angry, "It would be fine if she didn't invite her, so she wouldn't make excuses to push her."

Zhu Bo nodded and said, "That's right. I heard that the second girl from Dingyuan Hou Mansion is very close to Princess Jing'an. Maybe they will be neglected and ridiculed by them when they go."

Danqing remembered something and smiled and said, "By the way, the third aunt and cousin went to apologize. I don't know what the situation is, I really want to go and have a look."

Zhu Bo said, "If you are curious, they will come back later. You can go to Anshantang for inquiries."

"Okay, I'll go when they come back."

At this time, a little maid hurried in, "Girl, Miss Seven is here."

When Chu Xinyu heard this, he said, "Let her come in."

Soon, Chu Jiayu came in and saw Chu Xinyu painting in the yard, and said, "Fifth sister is so leisurely."

Chu Xinyu said, "I haven't thanked you for the last time." She refers to the last time Chu Jiaqi came to grab the invitation. Chu Jiayu was accusing Chu Jiaqi of lying in Anshan Hall. She was busy all the time and had no chance to thank her.

Chu Jiayu smiled and said, "I should have done it, let alone you helped the second sister, right?"

Chu Xinyu looked at her, and the two looked at each other and smiled. Chu Xinyu's eyes suddenly fixed on her hairpin. She wore a golden silk-in-fitting Phalaenopsis hairpin on her hair bun today.

That's right, it's Phalaenopsis.

When she was still Fu Yinghua, she had a flower hairpin like this, which she drew pictures to make. Originally, she gave it to Ah Niang as a birthday gift.

My mother likes it very much and often wears it. Later, she is afraid it will be broken, so she keeps it in her jewelry box.

The flower hairpin that Chu Jiayu wore was almost the same as what she gave to Ah Niang. Is there an exact same flower hairpin in this world? She can be sure that Phalaenopsis is very rare in this dynasty. At the Hundred Flowers Banquet that day, many people didn’t know that the flower was called Phalaenopsis.

Chu Xinyu then asked, "Your flower hairpin is very beautiful. Did it give it to someone else or bought it?"

"I bought it, do you like it? I'll give it to you." Chu Jiayu said, and took down the flower hairpin for her.

Chu Xinyu took it and took a closer look. The word "a" was engraved under the flower hairpin, which she used to mark it.
