Lin Chonghan was stopped by his question. He thought about it in his mind before answering: "I didn't go, what happened?"

Lin Shijing raised the rattle: "The skin of this drum comes from a unique animal in the Western Regions. The drum made of this animal skin has a pleasant and low sound... This drum is a bit old."

Lin Chonghan's attention was attracted by the word "Western Region" in his words, and she was stunned on the spot——

Yu Qing is a fisherman's girl from Jiangnan. How could her parents use such skin to make a rattle for her?

Lin Chonghan asked: "Will there be no mistakes?"

Her expression was serious and nervous. Lin Shijing rubbed the rattle carefully and checked it again before he assured her.

"Yes, it's a drum from the Western Regions."

Haruhi also looked at Lin Chonghan in surprise. With just one look and years of tacit understanding between master and servant, she understood what she should do.

"Slave, go and have someone check."

Lin Shijing didn't ask her what she wanted to check or why she wanted to check. He just asked Chunri to find the old housekeeper Qiao Bo in the front yard. Yongding Hou's power was far greater than hers.

At dusk, candles were passed around the Han Palace, and light smoke dispersed into the house of the Five Marquises.

Every New Year, there would always be rewards from the palace, and the Lin family received very generous silver rewards and royal dishes. Lin Guangqing opened the ancestral hall, placed the silver rewards and royal dishes in front of the memorial tablets of his ancestors, worshiped the ancestors one by one, and

It's not finished until you've wiped the tablet yourself.

In previous years, Lin Yizhou was stationed abroad and could never come back. The only two people in his family were Lin Guangqing and Lin Shijing. When these two grown men celebrated holidays, they always seemed a little boring and perfunctory.

When Lin Chonghan returned home this year, life suddenly seemed promising. Even Lin Guangqing began to find fault with the lanterns hanging at the front entrance, let alone Lin Shijing.

However, he has a vicious mouth. In just three days, including the 28th, 29th and New Year's Eve, Lin Shijing tortured the servants in the house to the point of dying. Even the little maid who liked his romantic appearance the most stopped going to him.

Standing in front of him, it was as if he was not the young master, but the reincarnation of the King of Hell.

Lin Chonghan looked at the maids and servants in the house who wished they could die. He was funny and helpless, so he simply gave away more money as a sign of sympathy from his master.

The master was so kind that the maids and servants in the courtyard knelt on the ground and praised Lin Chonghan.

At this time, a young man ran up to the front yard. He saw a crowd of people kneeling inside, and thought it was Lin Chonghan who was angry, so he didn't dare to go in timidly.

Haruhi had sharp eyes, saw him, walked over and asked what was going on.

"There is a fat man outside and he says he is the servant of Marquis An Ning." The boy lowered his head and said in a dull voice, "He said Marquis An Ning wants to see our girl."

"You wait here."

Lin Chonghan was handing out monthly silver reward orders. After hearing this, he asked Chunri to ask Gu Qingzhang what happened. Not long after, the boy came back to report that it was related to something she was investigating recently.

"Gu Qingzhang!"

Lin Chonghan hurriedly got on the carriage and went all the way to the teahouse where Gu Qingzhang had made an appointment. He found that the man was neatly putting tea leaves into the tea basket and watching carefully. She was so angry that she called him by his full name.

She had never told anyone about Yu Qing, and the person who moved her came directly from the Hou Mansion. The only possibility that Gu Qingzhang knew about it was that she went to Yanyu Tower that day. Gu Qingzhang knew about it, and he followed the clues to investigate.

"Gu Qingzhang," she said with a serious look, "you are sending someone to follow me."

Gu Qingzhang was not annoyed when she pointed him out, nor did he quibble. He waited until Lin Chonghan sat cross-legged on the futon before handing her the tea lotus.

"How do you think the quality of this year's Wuyi rock tea is?"

Lin Chonghan knew that it was useless to be impatient, but he did not look at Chahe carefully: "I usually only drink Wuyi rock tea during the Mid-Autumn Festival, and November at the latest. It is already the Chinese New Year, and all the shops sell are old tea."

"Wuyi people disdain to drink old tea," Gu Qingzhang pointed out, "but I don't care about the best time, I only love this old tea."

She came to question him about following him, but Gu Qingzhang was dancing with Xiang Zhuang, aiming at Pei Gong. Lin Chonghan didn't know how to reply, so he pushed Cha He back.

She said: "It's not a wise move for you to dip into this muddy water."

Gu Qingzhang gently moved the tea leaves on the tea lotus to the purple clay pot, shook his head and refused: "I am still a member of the Gu family, and I am also Gu Zhao's brother. I will take care of this matter without going too far."

...That's quite high-sounding.

"Then tell me, what news do you want to tell me?"

"Oh, it's not a big deal," Gu Qingzhang finished washing the tea leaves and poured the tea soup into the justice cup, "It's just that Yu Qing may not be Yu Qing."

?

Lin Chonghan's thoughts went through his mind before he came back to his senses and understood what he meant.

She said: "What you mean is that Yu Qing is an imposter. She may not be named Yu Qing. Even..." Lin Chonghan thought of the rattle, "... She may not even be from the Jiangnan water town."

Gu Qingzhang gave her an appreciative look, indicating that she was right.

The teahouse covers a very large area, and each courtyard inside is set up separately. The distance between the courtyards is very far, so the world is silent at this moment, and only the occasional chirping of birds can be heard.

After Lin Chonghan figured this out, he covered his forehead with a headache.

"This..." The first thing she thought of was Gu Zhao, "If Gu Zhao knew about this, I'm afraid he would be greatly irritated."

She did hate Gu Zhao very much, but Lin Qingzhang was his biological brother after all, and some things were not that simple.

Gu Qingzhang's expression changed slightly, and he quickly pretended to be nonchalant. He handed her the tea he had brewed, and said generously: "Gu Zhao is not young, and it is not a big problem for him to be stimulated. He can't hide behind the scenes."

A lifetime after my father’s death.”

Yeah?

Lin Chonghan looked at him suspiciously, always feeling that Gu Qingzhang might not be so kind.

Gu Qingzhang is indeed not that kind. Every time he thinks about the days when Lin Chonghan and Gu Zhao had a lingering relationship and were at odds with each other, he feels like there is an unknown fire burning in his heart, and this fire will always be in his heart.

There is no time to burn out.

Is jealousy necessarily reserved for women and only for women?

He thought coldly, not really.

At this time, he was trying his best to organize manpower so that Gu Zhao would "accidentally" hear that Yu Qing was replaced. Gua Er thought sadly: Jealousy is indeed not exclusive to women, it should be exclusive to him, Lord Gu, Gu Qingzhang

.

Lin Chonghan took the teacup, subconsciously examined the color of the tea, smelled the aroma, then stood up and put the teacup back in front of him with a look of disgust.

"What kind of old tea leaves? I won't eat this tea."

Gu Qingzhang slowly sipped tea to calm down the jealousy in his belly.
