Chapter 656 Knocking on the Wrong Door
When Xu Boyan heard Gao E's analysis, he stared at her with a smile. Gao E didn't hide anything now, which was good.
"What?" Gao E looked at Xu Boyan's scrutinizing eyes and asked, "Did I say something wrong?"
Before, Xu Boyan only told her to wait, but how long did she want to wait? What if Que'er recovered her memory in the middle of the process, wouldn't they be waiting in vain?
Now it seems that Xu Boyan intends to take the initiative.
"That's right." Xu Boyan nodded.
"By the way, Lord Xu said before that he would invite Prince Bin to come. I wonder when Prince Bin will be able to come?" Gao E was still thinking about this matter.
Now that Xu Boyan is going to take the initiative, others will not sit idly by. Gao E cannot count on Xu Boyan. After all, he is just a pawn that has crossed the river, and some things are beyond his control.
"This matter..." Xu Boyan was a little embarrassed. "The capital is far away, and I can't get the news from the capital in time."
Gao E thought this was another unreliable person: "Okay, I understand. Lord Xu, just tell me the truth, and I can make preparations."
Xu Boyan felt that he was being disliked, but there were indeed too many variables in this matter, and it was beyond his control.
After leaving the yamen, Gao E went to find Lu Qingluo and saw the candles that Lu Qingluo bought.
"Why did you only buy so little?" Gao E looked at the two bundles of candles in the basket.
"The money I have is only enough to buy these." Lu Qingluo spread his hands.
Gao E knew candles were expensive, but she didn't expect them to be this expensive: "Can't you bring more silver?"
Since Lu Qingluo followed Gao E, she has never taken the initiative to bring money with her. Gao E will arrange everything she needs anyway.
"Forget it, I'll go buy it." Gao E had no choice but to go by herself.
As it turned out, there weren't many candles in the store. Gao E then realized that candles were a problem. She had previously thought that there was no need to buy such things in Qinzhou City.
On the carriage back to Baotou Village, Gao E thought about the candle problem.
The main materials used to make candles now are beeswax and white wax worms, and Chinese tallow trees can also be used to make wax.
Then you can raise the bees and collect honey and beeswax.
As for the white wax worm... Gao E didn't know if there was anyone in He County who specialized in raising white wax worms, otherwise finding white wax worms would be a problem.
Gao E had never seen a Chinese tallow tree in the area of Baotou Village, so she wanted to go back and ask Xiao Chuyun if he knew where one was.
Even if you find a Chinese tallow tree, you have to wait until autumn when the Chinese tallow fruits are ripe.
So after returning to the village, Gao E asked Lu Qingluo to deliver candles to Liang Jiange and the others, while she went to find Xiao Chuyun.
Liang Jiange opened the door and saw that it was Lu Qingluo. He immediately closed the door and leaned against it.
"Who is it?" Prince Bin looked at Liang Jiange's nervous expression. "Could it be a jackal, a tiger or a leopard?"
Liang Jiange thought it was much scarier than jackals, tigers and leopards: "You knocked on the wrong door."
When Lu Qingluo outside the door heard Liang Jiange say this, he kicked the door open, forcing Liang Jiange to run forward two steps before stopping.
"Isn't this Miss Lu?" Prince Bin looked at Liang Jiange suspiciously, not knowing what was going on.
Lu Qingluo came in carrying a basket and went straight to Liang Jiange. Liang Jiange gritted his teeth and stood up straight, showing the spirit of being ready to die.
"These are the candles you wanted." Lu Qingluo put the basket in front of Liang Jiange and turned away.
Liang Jiange breathed a sigh of relief. It turned out that someone came to deliver candles.
"It's time for me to go back," Prince Bin said, standing up. "I'll be staying in Yue Garden. We'll go to Qingtan Gorge together later."
"Okay." Tang Song also stood up. "Once Madam Chen sets a time, I'll have her send someone to inform my brother."
"Okay." Prince Bin agreed happily.
Although I didn’t meet Du Weiqing, it was nice to meet Tang Song and Liang Jiange. They said that more people would come, and it would definitely be more lively then.
There are indeed Chinese tallow trees in the He County area, but they are poisonous, so most people just cut them down for firewood and no one touches their seeds.
Gao E found out the place and waited until the Chinese tallow trees ripened in autumn before taking people to pick them.
When Lianxin returned home, she said that a messenger had come to deliver a letter today and brought a large package.
When Gao E saw the package, she knew it was Tao Meiyu. When she opened it, she found some things unique to Dancheng, and there were more of them sent this time.
Gao E first took out the letter from inside. In the letter, Tao Meiyu said that the Tao family had sent someone to He County again, asking Gao E to be cautious. She planned to go to Xiangzhou to find He Tangchun, and then follow He Tangchun to take up his post.
She said she would write to Gao E when she arrived in Xiangzhou, and Gao E would write back to her then.
After reading Tao Meiyu's letter, Gao E was silent for a while, struggling over whether to tell Xu Boyan about this.
Finally, I plan to talk to Xu Boyan about it. After all, it was Xu Boyan who killed the Tao family.
Liang Jiange came to have dinner secretly and ate in the kitchen with Tian and others. He was unwilling to come to the main hall.
Gao E saw Tang Song sitting alone in the main hall and asked, "Mr. Liang, aren't you going to have dinner?"
"He's in the kitchen." Tang Song put down his chopsticks and replied.
"Kitchen?" Gao E looked at Lu Qingluo on the side when she heard Liang Jiange say this.
"I didn't do anything." Lu Qingluo spread his hands.
Tang Song glanced at Lu Qingluo and wondered what else she was going to do.
"I'll go and take a look." Gao E thought Liang Jiange had a psychological trauma.
Liang Jiange sat in the kitchen to eat, so he could avoid Lu Qingluo and would not be discovered even if he ate more.
He would never enter the kitchen before, but now he thinks the kitchen is a great place.
He and Tian kept adding more food to Liang Jiange's plate, worried that he wasn't full.
When Gao E came in, she saw the plates piled high in front of Liang Jiange. He and Tian stood up hurriedly.
Liang Jiange looked up and saw Gao E almost choking on her food, so she rubbed her nose to ease the embarrassment.
"Eat slowly." Gao E sat opposite Liang Jiange. "I didn't expect Mr. Liang likes to eat in the kitchen."
Can Liang Jiange say that he is afraid of Lu Qingluo?
Seeing Liang Jiange remained silent, Gao E smiled and said, "I'll apologize to Mr. Liang on behalf of Qingluo. I'm sure Mr. Liang has already noticed that Qingluo is not good at speaking."
Liang Jiange didn't dare to look at Lu Qingluo at all, so how could he realize that she was not good at speaking? But after hearing what Gao E said, it seemed that it was indeed the case. She didn't talk much.
"So Mr. Liang doesn't have to worry about her talking nonsense." Gao E said meaningfully.
Liang Jiange knew what Gao E was talking about, so he cleared his throat and pretended to be relaxed: "I didn't. I just... she's good with the sword."
Gao E almost laughed when she saw Liang Jiange like this: "I know what Mr. Liang is worried about. I actually have a solution that will solve the problem once and for all."
"A permanent solution?" Liang Jiange was puzzled.
"Mr. Liang, what do you think of Qing Luo's swordsmanship?" Gao E asked directly.
"Uh..." Liang Jiange didn't want to answer this question. "It's quite strange."
Gao E thought this answer was rather strange: "In that case, why don't you, Mr. Liang, learn swordsmanship from Qing Luo?"
"Ah?" Liang Jiange stood up immediately.
"As the sage said, 'When three people walk together, there must be one who can be my teacher.' I will follow the best." Gao E ignored Liang Jiange's surprise. "Since Qing Luo's swordsmanship is superior to Mr. Liang's, if Mr. Liang wants to learn, he can naturally become my disciple."
