Chapter 99 Jiang Yunshu doesn't believe in precognitive dreams
Du Zhihuan's face lit up with joy. "Third brother is such a timely help! When he comes back, I'll cook for him myself and reward him well. But today, let's reward our parents first."
Du Zhihuan opened the food box and said, "This is the peony fruit cake I made myself. Come and try it and see if it's edible."
Du Henian picked it up and took a big bite. "Mm, delicious, very delicious, better than what Mrs. Wu made. Ah Qing, is it better than what Mrs. Wu made?"
Su Beiqing raised her eyebrows, "It's sweet but not greasy, very delicious, I want to eat two."
"The rest is mine!"
"Are you too greedy? I want another one."
Du Zhihuan watched her parents fighting over the peony fruit cake, feeling both happy and melancholy.
She finally understood why her cooking skills had always stagnated.
No matter how bad her cooking is, her parents can still eat it.
Not long after Du Zhihuan returned to her room, the maidservant, Yunyan, knocked on the door and came in. "Miss, Princess Anyang just sent someone to invite you to go to the Nine-Storied Tower tomorrow."
"I see."
＊
"Cousin, you're sure to love it when we go to the Nine-Storied Tower tomorrow. Floors one through three sell all sorts of calligraphy and paintings, the four treasures of the study, fashionable clothes, treasures, and accessories. There are so many novelties, and even Western goods, I guarantee you'll be dazzled. Floors four through six are the teahouses, taverns, and theaters frequented by the city's dignitaries. You have to make reservations in advance to go up there."
Jiang Shiyun chattered non-stop to Song Yu, "Hehehe... Daddy has already arranged everything. If we're hungry, we can go to the sixth floor for dinner. I don't know about the seventh to ninth floors. You need an invitation from the owner of the Ninth Floor to go up there."
"Cousin Yu, cousin Meng, sister."
This is Jiang Guanchen entering the courtyard in red court robes.
"Cousin." Song Yu and Cheng Qingmeng stood up together.
"Brother!" Jiang Shiyun hurried over, "Can you take a leave of absence from the Hanlin Academy tomorrow and go to the Nine-Storied Tower with us?"
Jiang Guanchen patted Jiang Shiyun's head lovingly and said, "Tomorrow is a day off, so I'll go with you guys."
Jiang Guanchen tilted his head to look at Song Yu and Cheng Qingmeng, "Cousin Yu, Cousin Meng, please sit down. It's more comfortable to be at home."
Song Yu and Cheng Qingmeng then sat down.
Cheng Qingmeng said, "Cousin, I remember you are good friends with Prince Mu. Can you take us to the rooftop of the ninth floor tomorrow?"
"Of course, that's what I came to tell you."
Jiang Guanchen looked at Song Yu and said, "Cousin Yu, the ninth floor overlooks most of the capital. Within the visual range, you can see everything you want clearly."
Song Yu was surprised. "Is my cousin real? The human eye can only see so much, and we need to see clearly and carefully, unless..."
"You can't see clearly unless you use it."
Several dazzling rays of light flashed before the eyes of the three sisters.
"Brother, are you borrowing Brother Mu's Thousand Miles Pupil Mirror?"
Jiang Guanchen smiled and nodded, "That day I used it to find my aunt on the roof of the ninth floor, and that's why I rushed back."
"Miss." Bai Lan gently pulled Song Yu.
Song Yu pursed his lips slightly. It turned out that the dandy boy that day was actually his eldest cousin!
"Cousin Yu, what's wrong?" Jiang Guanchen keenly noticed that the beautiful eyes under the peony mask seemed to be smiling at him.
"Oh, I just remembered that day when we saw a light sweeping over the roof of the Nine-Storied Building. It turned out that my cousin was upstairs at the time."
Jiang Guanchen quickly wrapped the Thousand Miles Eyeglasses with a handkerchief and said, "Cousin Yu, that person wasn't me. It was your big brother Mu. He loves to play the most. If you see him tomorrow, you all hide behind me."
Song Yu's expression changed. "This Mr. Mu is very fierce. Is he a real dandy?"
"Cousin, Prince Mu is not a dandy boy." Cheng Qingmeng hurriedly explained, "He is the eldest grandson of the eldest son of the Duke of Anguo's mansion, and his mother is the eldest princess. Not only does he have a distinguished family background, he is also highly regarded by the Emperor and has been entrusted with important tasks. As for his appearance... 'A man as beautiful as jade, a young man unparalleled in the world', that's what Prince Mu is like. But he doesn't like women. Women who come within ten steps of him are lucky enough to be sent to Shuiyun Temple outside the city to practice Buddhism, while those who are unlucky are beaten to death."
Song Yu took a breath of cold air. Is this still a man?
"Then we won't go to the ninth floor tomorrow."
"Don't be afraid, cousin. You have your cousin to protect you. He won't dare to do anything rash. Besides, he's busy looking for Divine Doctor Qin right now, so he may not go to the Ninth Floor tomorrow."
Doctor Qin?
Song Yu and Bai Lan looked at each other.
No way, is the cave owner so famous that all the dignitaries are looking for him!
Cheng Qingmeng: "Cousin, that Divine Doctor Qin must have passed away a long time ago. I heard that people in the capital were looking for him ten years ago, but to no avail."
"It's better not to die. Madam Mu said she's seriously ill, and Judge Xue and others haven't been able to diagnose what's wrong. Now we're counting on Doctor Qin to diagnose what's wrong with Madam Mu..."
"Cousin, you go..." Cheng Qingmeng opened her mouth and quickly closed it.
"Ah, don't worry, I will definitely go to the Jiuchonglou tomorrow. Cousin, cousin, I'm a little tired. I'll go back to Hibiscus Garden first."
"Miss, Miss Meng just wanted you to go see the old lady of the Mu family."
Song Yu shook his head. "When I saved Miss Gu, it was a last-ditch effort. It was all luck. The Mu family isn't just any family. I can't rely on luck to treat patients. And Mr. Mu sounds scary. If something goes wrong, how can I save my life?"
Bai Lan: "Then we should stay away from the Mu family, but there is still Mr. Mu who still owes us medical fees."
"Yeah, ask her if you see her."
The moon rises above the willows.
"Master, the people below have reported that this afternoon, a very noble young lady arrived at the Wu Mansion. She was openly accompanied by four maids and secretly followed by eighteen secret guards. It's a pity that our people were discovered when they chased after them. If they hadn't run fast, they would have been killed."
Song Mingen's expression was solemn. "He's most likely Wu Lingheng's backer. His strength shouldn't be underestimated. But can you clearly see who's markings are on the carriage?"
Zhang Feng: "There's no sign, the carriage is large and ornate, and the girl is wearing a veil, so I can't see her face."
Song Mingen thought to himself, could this rich young lady be the child swapped with Sister Yu?
"Ah Feng, tell the brothers below to be more cautious. Arrange to keep an eye on the Du family of Weiyuan Marquis' Mansion, as well as the Han family of Xinyang Marquis' Mansion. Pay special attention to the appearance of those entering and leaving these two mansions. See if anyone has a teardrop mole on their face."
next day
"Wanwan, we'll wait for your family of three. The carriage is ready. We'll go to the Nine-Storied Tower now."
Feng Yingying protected Jiang Yunshu and walked out.
"Sister-in-law, Shushu, let's go to the Jiuchonglou again tomorrow?"
"Why are you suddenly not going? Didn't we agree to go to Jiuchonglou early this morning?" Feng Yingying looked surprised and then blinked quickly at Jiang Yunwan.
Jiang Yunzhou: ...
Don't blink so obviously, he saw it all.
Fortunately, Shushu didn't see it.
"Yes, sister, why aren't you going?" Jiang Yunshu also looked puzzled: "Brother has already made arrangements. If we go tomorrow, we won't be able to gather together."
Jiang Yunwan said, "Sister Yu had a dream last night that on the way to the Nine-Storied Tower today, a startled horse would crash into a carriage, which would upset Shushu's miscarriage. She would also be hit by a falling flower pot when she got to the Nine-Storied Tower. For safety's sake, we should go another day."
"Then we won't go. My brother is more important."
Cheng Qingmeng dotes on her younger brother very much. Her mother had gotten pregnant with great difficulty, so there couldn't be any mistakes.
"Dreams are all fake, don't take them seriously." Jiang Yunshu would never believe that Song Yu had another predictive dream.
"It's impossible for a startled horse to crash into a carriage. There are patrolmen everywhere, and there's no way a flowerpot could fall from the Nine-Storied Tower."
Jiang Guanchen said, "Aunt, this has never happened in the Nine-Storied Building since it was built, and it is impossible for it to happen again. Every floor of the Nine-Storied Building is strictly guarded."
Jiang Shiyun clenched her hands and didn't dare to say anything. She really wanted to go today, but she was worried that her cousin's dream would come true.
Jiang Yunzhou said, "Wanwan, I will send more people. Just be careful when traveling and nothing will happen."
"Let's do it another day. Shushu is pregnant now, and I don't want her to have any accidents."
"Sister, that was just a dream. It's all the opposite. It won't happen. Let's not delay any longer. The sun will be high soon."
After Jiang Yunshu finished speaking, he pulled Cheng Qingmeng and walked out of the mansion.
She didn't believe that Song Yu's dreams could be so accurate every time!
Jiang Guanchen and Jiang Shiyun, who didn't know the truth, followed him out without thinking.
"Cousin, hurry up and follow me. Trust me, the capital is safe."
"Oh, here it comes."
Song Yu pulled Bai Lan and followed him out.
"Brother, Ming En, you have all made arrangements, but don't do it for real."
Jiang Yunzhou: "Don't worry, it's not a real collision. Just let Shushu know that what happened in the dream will happen. Let's catch up quickly."
