第34章 茶楼

信阳公主府沉香榭中,信阳公主手执白玉棋子正在苦苦思索如何破解珍珑棋局。

一嬷嬷快步进入沉香榭,见公主殿下在下棋,便放轻了脚步,站在一旁等候。

“说吧。”信阳公主眼皮都不曾抬一下,始终盯着棋盘。

嬷嬷上前两步,小心翼翼道:“郡主的计划没有收效。”

信阳公主美目一凝:“她放弃了吗?”

“这倒没有,还在想办法。”

信阳公主微微一笑:“这才像她的性格。”

嬷嬷踟蹰道:“殿下,其实想知道答案,奴婢可以去找钟大夫,或者直接问侯府二房的人。”

"No, this matter can only be handled by the princess, and it must be done indirectly so as not to arouse any suspicion towards me."

"You can remind the princess, instead of looking for Yu Wanwan, it would be better to find Lin Zhenzhen."

“是,奴婢这便去。”

“莫要太刻意了。”

“是,奴婢会注意。”

嬷嬷离开后,信阳公主手中白子落下,困局顿解,唇边扬起一抹似是而非的笑。

没想到林晏晏的命还真大,都这样了还死不了,不过,林晏晏必须死,不但林晏晏要死,林家长房全都要死。

When Lin Yannan returned to Muyuan Pavilion, Mama Li brought someone to see her.

“小姐,这位是柳先生,大舅爷派来的,京城这边的生意都是柳先生在打理。”

林晏晏微然:“柳先生请坐,锦心,看茶。”

"Mr. Liu, my eldest uncle called you here..." "

“大小姐,在下这次来是有两件事,其一,在下了解到侯府二夫人姚氏通过其弟姚牧州放印子钱,数目有一百万两之多,明年五月才到期,沈大爷说,他会想办法让这笔钱回不来,沈家要吃下这笔钱。”

林晏晏惊诧,一百万可不是小数目,祖母知道吗?照姚氏的行事风格,怕是瞒着祖母偷偷赚体己。而且姚氏哪来这么多钱?姚家乃是书香门第,书挺多,但钱并不多,那就只有一个可能,挪用公中款项。

Lin Yannan already knows. Now Third Aunt is in charge of the family's finances, so it seems necessary for her to thoroughly check the accounts.

"What about the second matter?"

"The second matter is that Mr. Shen said the Miss needs to open the Tongyuan Building, maybe she lacks a manager."

“大舅愿意让你来帮我?”林晏晏大喜,这可真是雪中送炭。她正想招个管事,毕竟她是侯府大小姐,不可能亲自去打理生意,柳先生是大舅的人,信得过,而且柳先生常年打理京中生意,有能力有人脉,实在是最好不过的人选。

“大小姐不嫌弃的话,在下就听大小姐吩咐了。”柳先生道。

“何来嫌弃,我求之不得,同源楼的事务就拜托柳先生了。”

送走柳先生,林景元过来了:“姐,刚才那人是谁?”

“大舅送给咱们的人。”

“大舅在忙什么呢?姐你封了康平县主,大舅也没露面。”

What is Da Jiu busy with? Naturally, he is causing trouble for the Yao family. The Shen family cannot be bullied by anyone.

Putting that aside for now: "How did your meeting with Magistrate Cai go today?"

"It's settled, I can start school tomorrow."

"I'll take you there tomorrow."

"No need, I'm not a child anymore. Besides, I have already informed Big Brother Zhou, he will come to pick me up tomorrow morning."

“那好吧,进了国子监好好用功,别丢了咱们侯府长房的脸。”

“姐你放心,这几年我的功课可没落下。”林景元自信满满。

翌日,林晏晏还是偷偷地跟在林景元和周大同身后,看着两人进了国子监,有种老母亲送儿子奔前程的心情,期待又担心。

“小姐,咱们这就回去吗?”檀云问。

“去同源楼。”

林晏晏去同源楼转了转,装修的进度比预想中的快,没什么可以操心的。

So Lin Yannan found a tea house to have some tea.

Tea houses are gathering places for all kinds of news and a place for spreading them, some of which may not be useful, but it's a good way to pass the time.

Just as she sat down, Lin Yannan was drawn to the conversation next to her.

"Have you heard? The Tao Mansion is haunted."

"The Tao Mansion? Which Tao Mansion?"

"It's the former residence of Tao Taiyi, the physician of the imperial court. Just the other day, two thieves sneaked in to steal, and they encountered a female ghost. This female ghost had no feet, with only a layer of skin hanging from her neck, and her face was covered in blood..."

Lin Yannan: Uh...

Is this her image? She's just tilting her neck, how did it turn into being described as just skin? That does sound a bit scary.

"Really?"

“当然是真的,我跟你们说,更吓人的是……那女鬼一直追着那两个毛贼问他们看见她的头了吗?两个毛贼吓的尿都出来了。”

"You mentioned Doctor Tao and it reminded me of the day when the entire Tao family was beheaded. The weather suddenly turned gloomy, and it started snowing heavily for three days and three nights. At that time, everyone said that the Tao family was unjustly treated."

“对对,我也想起来了,那场大雪百年难遇,说不定陶宅里的女鬼就是陶家人冤魂不散的缘故。”

一人压低了声音,神秘兮兮地说道:“我跟你们说个事儿,你们要保密,我一个在宫里当差的亲戚告诉我,陶太医是当了替罪羊。”

众人惊讶:“替罪羊?替谁?”

“那就不知道了,陶太医的医术在太医院是数一数二的,误诊,不太可能吧!”

“有冤又能怎样?都过去这么多年了,陶家人也死光,还有谁能替陶家伸冤?”有人叹息。

Lin Yannan silently sipped her tea, only to realize that the Tao family had been decimated and a rare hundred-year snowfall had occurred. She also found out about the scapegoat story.

However, the reliability of these rumors is questionable. It is necessary to find a way to contact people from the palace. Please let me know if you need any further assistance!

However, Lin Yannan finds the idea of ghosts a bit questionable.

潜入被封的宅院偷盗是大罪,那两个毛贼怎么可能跟别人说在陶宅见鬼了呢?吓坏脑子了?

如果不是脑子坏了,那么闹鬼一说,倒像是有人故意放出来的。

问题是……谁会放这样的消息呢?难道前晚陶宅还有第四个人?

想到这,林晏晏心惊不已,冷汗直冒。

她会不会被人发现了?

“救命,救命,快救救我的孩子……”

楼下传来凄惨的呼叫声。

林晏晏回神,走到窗边往探头一看,只见一妇人坐在路边,怀里抱着个四五岁的孩子,那孩子似乎昏过去了,面色青紫,手里还攥着一串糖葫芦,妇人无助的哭泣。

Oh no, the child is choking, the airway is blocked.

Lin Yannan quickly turned and walked downstairs.

“小姐,您去哪儿?”檀云忙摸出几个铜钱放在桌上,去追小姐。
