【Two hundred and forty-eight】guessing

She was very careful, afraid of changing the original appearance of the dough. It took three minutes and finally finished her work. She put down the makeup pen in her hand and exclaimed, "Okay, there is no flaw now."

Dou Yueshan smiled and said, "It's still awesome sister-in-law."

Jiang Chengjia glanced at him and whispered: "You praised me for being so powerful without even looking at the bronze mirror? Are you not afraid that I will paint you as an ugly and sloppy man?"

Dou Yueshan was full of confidence: "My sister-in-law is of great character and she will never do such rude things."

Jiang Chengjia smiled secretly in her heart, but she was very restrained on her face and said lightly: "You can flatter. Let's go and accompany me to see what meals you have so that Erlang can cushion his stomach."

She instructed that she looked like an elder, with a look of an elder sister. Dou Yueshan bent her lips and nodded and said, "Okay."

The two of them opened the door, closed quietly, and walked out carefully.

Under the corridor, Ning Nanyou's deputy general Li Yue and the little sentry had already guarded the steps with their swords. Yue Chong and Nian Qian were instructing the soldiers to take off their luggage.

Jiang Chengjia ignored them and said directly to Dou Yueshan: "I'll bother you to lead me to the kitchen."

The young man beside him knew that the play was about to start, so he replied: "You are kind to me, please come here with the villain."

So, the two of them took a light step and walked carefully to the east of the station.

When he walked to the secluded place, Dou Yueshan suddenly grabbed Jiang Chengjia. After looking around, he asked in a low voice: "Sister-in-law knows... Who is the person who is guessing in my heart? If I don't ask clearly about this, I will always be full of doubts and worrying."

Jiang Chengjia stopped, turned his eyes and looked at him. He read a trace of abnormality from his slightly dodged eyes, so he frowned and said, "Are you still hiding something? Didn't you tell us?"

Dou Yueshan was a little stunned, her heart jumped up, her face was dark, and she stammered: "Actually, actually..."

He took a deep breath: "My sister-in-law doesn't know that there is a reason why I rushed to Liangzhou anxiously this time that I cannot speak to my brother. The mysterious person behind the scenes who came to me knows my life experience and my brother, and also knows who the Dou family Sanlang was... who was the son of."

Hearing this, Jiang Chengjia was shocked, quickly met the young man's eyes, and asked in disbelief: "You, say it again? Who knows the mystery of the life experience of the king?"

"It's this mysterious man who has not yet appeared."

Dou Yueshan said in a hurry. He took out a piece of silk from his arms and handed it to Jiang Chengjia: "This is another document attached to the letter. Sister-in-law, look at it. It says that he knows that my brother and I are blood relatives, so I ask me to come and help."

Jiang Chengjia took the light silk paper and carefully confirmed it. He began to panic in his heart and murmured to himself: "He actually knows the life experience of the king. Did Master Lu even tell him this?"

Dou Yueshan asked in confusion: "What? Master Lu? Did Mr. Lu say it to this person? How could it be?"

He reacted for a while before he suddenly understood: "So... this mysterious person is... the old man of Lu's mansion?"

Jiang Chengjia looked at him with a close look and nodded, "You guessed it right. This person is indeed the old man of Lu's mansion. However, I never expected that Master Lu trusted him so much, even telling him about the mystery of his life experience."

Dou Yueshan thought for a moment and asked tentatively: "What my sister-in-law and brother guessed in their hearts... Is it that Mr. Chen Youzhi, who is in Changshan Marquis' Mansion at this moment?"

Seeing that he guessed it, Jiang Chengjia said unexpectedly: "Are you very familiar with this Master Chen?"

When Dou Yueshan heard her say this, she knew that her thoughts were correct, so she nodded silently and said, "Yes. Zhao Yuan and I have heard his teachings in Lu Mansion together. Speaking of which, Master Chen is also my teacher."

"I see."

Dou Yueshan continued: "It seems that I feel a little relieved. Master Lu had the best relationship with Mr. Shen during his lifetime, and the two of them were considered close friends. Perhaps it was Master Lu who entrusted the secret of his brother's life experience to Mr. Shen before his death. Please ask him to take care of his brother more secretly."

Jiang Chengjia listened and smiled helplessly, "You brothers have the same idea. They don't think this Master Shen will be detrimental to us?"

Dou Yueshan became serious and serious: "Of course I know. He will not do such things and will not bother with this. He is as glorious as a man of such a noble character, so he can never use weird means to deal with old friends..."

Jiang Chengjia was silent for a long time, and then breathed a sigh of relief: "Well. Since it is Master Chen, you and I don't have to worry that the mystery of the king's life story will be exposed."

Dou Yueshan nodded in agreement: "Mr. Shen loves his brother the most. He was the same when he was a child. I believe he is the same now. He will never let his brother fall into pain and cannot extricate himself."

The weather in Liangzhou is not as dry as the north, and the humidity is very heavy at night. Even if it has already entered spring, frost will also come to the west after the sun sets.

In the afternoon, the group checked in the inn. Ning Nanyou went to the house to rest and slept for three full hours.

When he opened his eyes again, the room was silent and silent. Jiang Chengjia was not in the room, and Dou Yueshan was not found whereabouts. Ning Nanyou dragged his tired body and moved off the bed. Somehow, he slept extremely peacefully and comfortably, so that after waking up, his body felt pain everywhere.

He put on his shoes, turned his arms carefully, loosened his heavy shoulders, and lit the candlelight placed beside the bed to illuminate the house.

The next moment, he heard a creaking sound from outside the screen. The door outside was pushed open, and a fragrance floated in. He heard the girl's voice slowly ringing: "Erlang, are you awake? If you don't wake up, I should come in and make trouble for you."

Ning Nanyou took one step at a time, slowly moved his footsteps, walked out of the screen, with a blue face, and said tiredly: "You should wake me up early..."

Jiang Chengjia took the table and walked to the hall, put up the bowls and plates, then went to him to support him, and asked carefully: "What's wrong? Are you sleeping uncomfortable?"

Ning Nanyou said helplessly: "It's just that I'm sleeping too well, and I feel even more tired."

Jiang Chengjia laughed and said, "It's not good to let you sleep, who is abusing you?"

He answered naturally: "Nature is what you are used to."

The girl raised her eyebrows and snorted, "You will talk nonsense. Come and eat something quickly. If you haven't eaten for a long time, you will definitely be hungry."

The husband's stomach took advantage of the opportunity and started to scream. The couple looked at each other and smiled, then sat around the table and started to eat.

"What about the Master? Why didn't I see him when I woke up?" Ning Nanyou asked while eating.

Jiang Chengjia replied: "Go to pick up that mysterious man. The little sentry you saved to the death also went with you."

Ning Nanyou looked surprised: "He went to pick him up in person? He could still work hard on his own?... Could it be that he had guessed who it was?"

He looked at the girl beside him, full of questions.

Jiang Chengjia nodded and said, "Yes, Ziyue guessed it. You grew up together, and this mysterious man is so dedicated to protecting you. Can he still guess it if he thinks about it? After thinking about it, he will know that it is Master Chen. Therefore, you are worried that he will receive the news in the evening and personally take the people to pick him up."

Ning Nanyou was silent for a moment and asked again: "What if... what if it's not Master Chen? Isn't he afraid of falling into danger when he goes out in such a hasty way?"

Jiang Chengjia stretched out his hand and attached it to the back of his hand, comforting him: "Don't worry. He didn't take the initiative to go. It was just that someone sent him a message saying that if he couldn't see him with his own eyes, he would not be able to tell his identity and come forward to meet him. He left the station. But don't worry, just in case, I asked the little sentry to follow him, and secretly arranged for Zhuying to follow him. If he was in danger, he would immediately rescue him."

"Zhuying is here?"

Ning Nan asked, "I thought, you asked him to rush back to the capital to assist his uncle and sister-in-law? I didn't expect you to let him rush to Liangzhou first?"

Jiang Chengjia blinked and said embarrassedly: "I ordered this matter when I was still in the border town, but I didn't have time to tell you...Don't blame me. The one who rushed back to the capital was the breeze. There was a place where Qianji guarding Muyun, and there was no trouble in the Jiang Mansion.

As for Zhuying, he arrived here half a month before us, and made arrangements at all the inns where the Hou Mansion car might have settled. After our group entered Liangzhou, he immediately followed and checked in here like us in the afternoon."

Ning Nanyou stretched out his finger, scraped the tip of her nose, and said dotingly: "You! You are just a clever person. I arranged these in advance for my sake, so how could I blame you?"

Jiang Chengjia shrank his neck, hugged his hand, and smiled sweetly, "Well, just don't blame me."

Ning Nanyou stared at her deeply and said gently: "Okay, have a meal first. I'm afraid I won't have any leisure time."

When it was late at night and all the residents of the station were resting, a sound of wheels rolling came from outside the fence. Then, in the dark, two or three people helped each other and walked down silently from a ox cart.

At that time, Ning Nanyou, who was in the deep courtyard, was watching with relish with a volume of ancient books. Jiang Chengjia was guarding him, staring at the faint candlelight, not knowing what he was thinking. After a while, she lifted up the lampshade, picked up the scissors beside her, and carefully cut the candle wick.

The husband sat opposite him and saw the light and shadow on the book shaking, he raised his eyes and smiled at her, "Aluo, you cut this candle wick and cut it again. If you cut it again, it will probably stop burning. Then what else can I use to read the book?"

Listening to his words, Jiang Chengjia pouted her red lips and said dissatisfiedly: "Read, read books! You know how to read books! I'll sit here to wait with you, and you don't know how to talk to me! What kind of books are you reading! You're so bored."

Ning Nanyou couldn't help laughing, put the ancient scroll aside, stretched out his hand to stroke her cheek, and said gently: "It's my fault, A Luo who made me unhappy."
