Originally, the family lived together, and the calculation was too clear, so how could there be a little family affection, it was better to split the family earlier, at least there was still a trace of affection.

She is indeed willing to maintain a rare confused attitude on some things, but when it comes to human life, she should always be cautious and careful.

Of course, in addition to this, there are some personal reasons for her.

According to the history known to later generations, the current Fujin of Prince Yong's Mansion should still be the Wulanala clan, and the Niu Hulu clan she represents is also an unappreciated side Fujin at this time, and it is necessary to wait for Emperor Kangxi to notice the young and precocious fourth elder brother Hongli, and after the friendly meeting of the three generations of grandparents and grandchildren in the Peony Terrace, the status of this Niu Hulu side Fujin in the heart of the fourth master has improved a few points.

Although the current situation has been caused by her little butterfly, such as the death of the Wulanala clan, for example, the name Hongli has become a taboo in the Fourth Master's Mansion, and no brother has been given the name Hongli so far...... But who knows when the god of fate will come to set things right.

Erf didn't think that her little arms and legs could beat the god of fate.

Because of these worries, Erfu was especially worried that anything uncontrollable would happen in the Fourth Master's Mansion, because she didn't know if these things were coming for herself, her heart was already filled with all kinds of uneasiness, but the truth that she was not a local woman was the biggest secret in her heart, and she didn't dare to share it with anyone, she could only let these worries accumulate little by little in her heart.

Thinking of this, she sighed again in extreme distress.

Shilan didn't know what was going on, and thought that something serious had happened, so she didn't dare to delay any longer, and with the silver chain in her hand, she trotted all the way to see Mama Qin.

The poet was also very considerate, and came forward to say good things and comforted Erf.

Erfu understood their thoughts, she reluctantly showed a smile that was not too sincere, and said softly: "Okay, check and check, maybe I am still worried, in case it is those thieves and rats in the palace who secretly poured from the palace to the outside of the palace to exchange silver, in fact, this is still an uncertain thing, so I just casually ordered, you don't have to worry too much."

However, there is one thing, the matter of this silver chain still has to be kept secret.

Because I'm not afraid of 10,000, I'm afraid of what if, in case this matter is really done by one of our relatives in the house, if she knows that there is such a thing, it is estimated that before we find out what clues are here, the other party will come up with a way to deal with it, then our thoughts will be completely in vain. ”

"The slave and maid understood, and the slave and maid asked Zhao Dezhu to tell the master of the Hong class in a while, and let the director of the Hong class be good-mouthed. ”

"Cheng, you just have to know it in your heart.

In addition, you ask Zhao Dezhu to check if there are any suspicious people among the people who were on duty near Gengzhixuan last night, and those in the main drama class of Hongban should also be investigated, since it has been determined that Li Chou did not die violently due to physical reasons, then no matter who the murderer is, he does exist, so we still can't take it too lightly. ”

"Okay, the slave will go to Zhao Dezhu to explain this matter now. Hearing this, the poet replied with a smile.

Explaining all these things in one breath, Erfu was indeed a little tired, so she smiled and nodded, and let Shiqing go to work, while she herself was busy running back to the bed in the inner room to be lazy.

On the soft and comfortable bed, she draped her hair loosely, let it hang down on the side of the bed, and read it with a book in her arms.

Press the leisurely Erfu and don't mention it, and then talk about Shilan's side......

She hurried to the small courtyard where Mama Qin lived temporarily, and mysteriously drove out all the palace maids who were helping in Mama Qin's room, and then took out the inconspicuous silver chain from her sleeve, and sent it to Mama Qin with a serious face, whispering about her intention.

"This thing is the craftsmanship of the office, but such an inconspicuous little thing is actually a gadget practiced by craftsmen in the office, so after the Ministry of Internal Affairs is sent over on a monthly basis, our house is generally registered with an approximate number, and there is really no separate registration style, and then it is sent to various places according to the rules of the relatives in the house. Hearing this, Mama Qin seriously looked at the silver chain left and right, and sighed.

Shilan originally thought that when this silver chain was brought to Mama Qin, she would soon know the owner of the silver chain, but she didn't expect such a result at all, and the answer was too unexpected, so she didn't know what to say for a while.

However, Mama Qin is a capable and stable housekeeper, and she still gave Shilan an idea.

This idea is also simple, in fact, it is to ask people to take this silver chain to the manufacturing office to investigate who made it, determine the maker of this silver chain, and then go to the Ministry of Internal Affairs to check, you can determine whether the owner of this silver chain is from the Fourth Master's Mansion.

Once that is decided, this matter will be easy to do.

If it's a person from the house, there's nothing else to say, a little bit of scrutiny, you can always find that person.

If it is determined that the owner of this chain is not from the house, it will be easy to do, and there is a worthless silver chain on the left and right, which at first glance is the thing that the apprentices and craftsmen of the office have practiced, and throw this chain directly into the corner of the storeroom, as if there is no such thing.

Mama Qin's method is a bit troublesome, but it is the only way.

Unless someone jumps out now to recognize who this silver chain has appeared on, but this probability is very low, because the palace maids and servants in the house are very smart, who will take the initiative to cause trouble without anything to do, and the style of this silver chain is so ordinary, even if someone is so unsmart and take the initiative to take care of things, it is estimated that it will not prove anything.

However, Shilan didn't go back to Peony Terrace to tell Erfu like this.

She still insisted that Mama Qin rub a small mark on the corner of the silver chain, with this rubbing, it was easier to go to the manufacturing office to find the maker of this silver chain, and she also had an explanation for her master.

Mama Qin couldn't resist Shilan, turned around and took the cinnabar printing clay table, quickly rubbed the mark, and sent the tea away.

In fact, Shilan was just thinking about finishing the errand, and she didn't expect such an inconspicuous little mark to play any role, she folded the ribbed paper printed with the mark and stuffed it into the sleeve tube, and took the silver chain, telling Mama Qin not to spread the matter, and after a lot of nagging, she sighed and walked to the peony platform.

In order to make her suddenly run to Mama Qin's place not seem abrupt, she also brought back a set of glass tea sets.

"Master, Mama Qin doesn't know who the owner of this silver chain is, and she asked the slave maid to take this silver chain to the manufacturing office to check it, what can you do about this!" Shilan walked to the side of the bed with gentle steps, half-squatted down, and asked in a low voice.

Hearing this, Erfu picked up the waist-length green silk, sat up straight, and said softly: "Then take your time." ”

Shilan had already guessed that this would be the result, and she continued to ask, "What about this silver chain?" With that, she took out the silver chain with a few wisps of cinnabar ink from her sleeve.

"Put it with me first. Erf took it and got a hand of cinnabar.

With a disgusted face, she threw the silver chain on the countertop of the cabinet on the side of the bed, and while pulling the handkerchief to wipe the marks on her hands, she asked, "Why is this so dirty?"

When Shilan heard this, she hurriedly handed the paper with the rubbing mark into Erfu's hand, and replied respectfully: "The slave maid thought that the mark on the silver chain was always a clue, so she asked Mama Qin to help rub a few, but she didn't expect that the cinnabar ink used for rubbing was not wiped clean, so the slave maid went to twist a wet handkerchief." ”

After saying that, she hurried to the clean room behind the screen.

But before she could get over, Erf stopped her in surprise, for she recognized the mark.

"Master, what do you have to tell the slave?" asked Shilan hurriedly returning to the bedside.

When Erfu heard this, he shook his head and said: "I remember this mark, this is not a gadget that Mama Qin thought was practiced by an apprentice craftsman, but one of the heads of a set of plain silver inlaid beads with a particularly unique shape, I said how can I look at this silver chain is a little familiar, you go and take my makeup box, I will let you see a magical scene." ”

As she spoke, she leaned to the side of the bed in high spirits, regardless of whether the cinnabar mark on her hand was not wiped off, grabbed the silver chain stained with the cinnabar mark, pulled on the soft-soled embroidered shoes on her foot, and walked to the window in the sun in three steps and two steps.

As soon as Erfu moved the corner table to the front of the beauty couch, Shilan came to Erfu with the makeup box.

"Come, you put this makeup box first, and then give me a hand, move this corner to my side, and then wait for your master and I will play tricks for you. She raised her hand to touch the sweat on her forehead and greeted with a smile.

Shilan didn't dare to slack off, put the makeup box in the right place, and raised the corner with Erfu.

After a while, the corner table was placed in the position designated by Erf.

The square corner table is placed at the end of the beauty couch, like a primary school student's desk, Erfu also threw off the soft-soled embroidered shoes, sat cross-legged on the beauty couch, she beckoned Shilan to bring the makeup box, while adjusting the bronze mirror on the dressing table that can be adjusted freely, so that the sunlight can better fall on the corner table.

"Let's take a closer look!" said Erph with a mysterious smile when he had done this.

After saying that, she lowered her head and fiddled with the silver chain that was still stained with cinnabar ink.

I saw that Erph was holding a small tweezer in her hand, and coiled the silver chain into a small ring as if she was doing a trick, and then she opened the pendant buckle on the silver chain, and with a bang, the silver chain became a silver ring in the shape of a flower, and the pearl pendant the size of a mung bean was the stamen part of the flower shape, and the silver chain that was clumped into a circle became a piece of stretched petals.

"Master, what's going on?" asked Shilan, looking at the ring in Erf's palm with a surprised face.

Hearing this, Erfu pursed her lips and smiled, and explained softly: "This is the special feature of this set of plain silver beaded heads, which is designed by a very thoughtful craftsman in the manufacturing office, and the whole set of heads can be changed through these small locks, such as this silver chain, which can be worn as a necklace around the neck, or as a ring between the fingers, and can also be used with the hairpins in this set of heads to form a step rock." ”

"Master, you know this set of heads so well, this silver chain shouldn't be yours, right?" Shilan listened, and didn't think there was anything good about this design, but was a little worried about Erfu, for fear that this matter would involve her master, and asked hurriedly.

Erfu smiled and waved her hand, and said: "You are the big palace maid in charge of my clothes and jewelry, you have never seen this silver chain, do you think this set of head noodles can be my thing, the reason why I understand, is because the craftsman who designed this set of head noodles is no longer on an errand in the manufacturing office, and was dug by Bai Jiao's girl to work in the dazzling color workshop. ”

"Oh, did the master recognize that mark?" Shilan understood when she heard this, and said with a smile.

"You guessed it.

This mark is Liu Xiaoquan's special mark when he was on an errand in the office, his hand is really coincidental, before many palace concubines in the palace sent the former eunuch to find him to set a relationship, just to let him make a few pieces of jewelry for himself to show off, and then he went to the dazzling color workshop, this mark also followed him to the dazzling color workshop, and the step of the green luan spreading wings and beads in the makeup box is his craft. Erff said with a smile.

After speaking, she took out the step shake in the makeup box, and pointed out the mark on the step rocker.

Although the size of the marks is different, the treatment of the graphics and details is exactly the same.

Seeing this, Shilan suddenly thought of another question, and she hurriedly reminded: "Master, is the owner of this silver chain a person from our house!"

Erfu nodded with a smile, shook his head again, and replied with a heavy face: "The owner of this silver chain is the Wulanala clan of Xianfujin, but the Wulanala clan has passed away, and this set of heads has also been put into the ground as a burial object, so why this silver chain appeared in the room of Li Chou in Cultivation and Weaving Xuan is still a mystery." ”

After saying that, she carefully wiped the silver chain with a handkerchief and put it in the makeup box.

"Master, do you think it will be a tomb robbery?" Shilan was stunned at first when she heard this, and then thought of a possibility.

When Erf heard this, she shook her head again.

If it were the future generations, such a silver chain produced by the office might have been dug up by tomb robbers from the grave of the Ulanala clan, but now...... I really thought that the palace maids and servants who guarded the tomb in Enji Village were going there to spend their old age, and they were not afraid that the fourth master would take their lives after finding out......

Besides, she didn't believe that such a shiny silver chain had been dug out of a grave.

Although the Ulanala clan was not in the soil for a long time, the silver was easily corroded and contaminated, so it was impossible for it to be preserved so well.
