Chapter 8: Inquiry

He Linwan glanced at them lightly, and when his eyes fell on Yuan Chun, Yuan Chun didn't know why a layer of cold sweat broke out on his forehead, he resisted the urge to retreat, and subconsciously stood up straight.

He Linwan just glanced at him, and then turned his head to talk to Yuan Xiang: "Miss Yuan, I'm here to find you, and I want to ask you about something." ”

Yuan Xiang was stunned, she glanced at Yuan Chun and He Ling, and then nodded to He Linwan: "Okay, let's go in and talk." ”

So Yuan Chunhe, who was gritting his teeth and planning to resist the anger of the He family's female overlord, how could he avoid being injured without angering He Linwan, He Ling, watched He Linwan follow Yuan Xiang into the house without looking back.

"Bang-" The door was closed by the maid lightly, and two leaves fell flutteringly and landed at the feet of Yuan Ershao. Yuan Ershao looked at the door that was locked up in a daze, and didn't come back to his senses for a while.

He Ling was also stunned for a while, and then her face became ugly. He Linwan did not have it from beginning to end

I looked at her, and I completely ignored her.

It was useless to use Yuan Chun to provoke He Linwan? How could this be?

He Linwan was not in the mood to worry about what the two people outside thought, after she followed Yuan Xiang into the house, Yuan Xiang found a wooden box and handed it to her: "This is what my second brother wants to give to Third Young Master He." Yuan Xiang thought that He Linwan was looking for her to help He Mian get the dagger.

He Linwan nodded, motioned for the maid to accept the things, and then said to Yuan Xiang: "Miss Yuan, I still have something I want to ask you for help." ”

Yuan Xiang frowned, not knowing what idea He Linwan wanted to make, but in order to maintain her demeanor, she still said, "Miss He said to listen, as long as I can help." ”

He Linwan then took out something from his purse and handed it to Yuan Xiang: "Does Miss Yuan know this?"

Yuan Xiang carefully looked at the jade pendant in He Linwan's palm, and finally shook his head.

He Linwan said: "This is what my third brother gave me, and he said that he got it from the second young master of Yuan." I like this pendant very much, thinking that my fourth sister will be born soon, so I want to buy another similar one to congratulate her. I just don't know which master in the jade shop made this pendant?"

Yuan Xiang thought for a while and muttered, "I haven't seen this thing, but if I got it from my second brother, then I might know the source." A few days ago, I heard that the second brother lost a small object to Third Young Master He, so it must be this thing, right?"

He Linwan nodded: "Exactly." ”

"If that's the case, I'm afraid Miss He won't be able to find this jade carver. Yuan Xiang pointed to the wooden box that the branch line gave to He Linwan's maid, "Because this pendant and this dagger are things that came out of the pawnshop." ”

"Pawnshop?" He Linwan muttered.

Yuan Xiang bowed: "Well, I have a relative who runs a pawnshop at home, and these are things that have been treated as death deeds, so my second brother can find them." ”

He Linwan's voice was a little dry: "Then I don't know where your relative's pawnshop is? When did this pendant enter the pawnshop? What does the person who pawns things look like?"

A series of questions made the surprise on Yuan Xiang's face even worse: "The pawnshop is open in Beijing, but I don't know how this pendant got into the pawnshop." ”

He Linwan was silent for a moment, and then pleaded: "Miss Yuan, can you help me find out?" I heard that this kind of pendant is likely to be a pair or a set, if possible, I want to buy several other pendants from the person who mortgaged this item at a high price. ”

Yuan Xiang felt that He Linwan's request was a little strange, but after thinking about it carefully, she didn't know what was strange, but inquiring about this matter was just a gesture for her, so Yuan Xiang didn't refuse: "Okay, I'll help you ask." ”

He Linwan smiled: "Thank you, Miss Yuan." ”

Yuan Xiang felt very surprised to receive He Linwan's thanks.

He Linwan didn't stay in Yuan Xiang's room for long, she could see that Yuan Xiang didn't have much friendship with the previous He Linwan, so she planned to leave after asking about what she asked.

When he didn't want He Linwan to turn around, Yuan Xiang suddenly seemed to remember something, and stopped He Linwan: "I almost forgot about it, Sister Zhao seems to come to the temple today to offer incense, this pawnshop is an industry under her family's name, do you want to ask Sister Zhao?"

He Linwan's footsteps paused, turned his head and smiled: "That's naturally good, thank you Sister Yuan." But I don't know where this Zhao girl is? Sister Yuan will give me a thorough understanding first, so that I won't be rude when I see someone. He Linwan didn't remember that the Yuan family had a relative surnamed Zhao.

Yuan Xiang said: "Sister He should not know about this Zhao family, because they only moved to the capital from Jinan the year before last, and the Zhao family is no longer there, only the brother and sister depend on each other. The Zhao family is also a big family in Jinan, and their house is a branch of the Zhao family. My grandmother was born in Jinan, and there is still some kinship with Sister Zhao's mother, and the Zhao brothers and sisters came to the capital to settle down My grandmother also helped a little, and then my grandmother and mother were very close to Sister Zhao, and my mother recognized her as a goddaughter. ”

He Linwan nodded thoughtfully: "I see." ”

Although Yuan Xiang said that the Zhao family and their Yuan family are relatives, but this level of kinship is so distant that it can be ignored, presumably this relationship is just the reason why the Zhao family brothers and sisters came to the capital to gain a foothold in the Yuan family, after all, with their situation, it is impossible for other families to gain a foothold in the capital.

It's just that they can finally get the favor of Mrs. Yuan and Mrs. Yuan, and they must have some ability.

"Later, Sister Zhao will come, and I will ask someone to find you. Yuan Xiang said.

At this time, the Wei family sent someone to say that Mrs. Tai was going to go to the incense, and asked He Linwan to go back quickly. He Linwan thanked Yuan Xiang and took his leave.

When He Linwan came out of Yuan Xiang's room, He Ling was no longer outside, but Yuan Chun was talking to a fifteen or sixteen-year-old boy, the young man's face was three points similar to Yuan Chun, but his skin was dark, his body was tall and strong, and his temperament was very different.

Yuan Yan and Yuan Chun both saw He Linwan and couldn't help but stop talking. Yuan gradually looked at He Linwan and then at his younger brother, and then squeezed his eyebrows and secretly touched Yuan Chun with his elbow, that appearance reminded He Linwan of He Mian, the third young man of the He family.

He Linwan was a little puzzled, in terms of temperament, He Mian should be more compatible with Yuan Yan, but He Mian and Yuan Chun, two people with opposite personalities, became close friends.

Yuan Chun's face was very embarrassed when he saw He Linwan, and He Linwan even felt that the second young master of Yuan had a feeling that he wanted to run away.

Yuan gradually put his hand on Yuan Chun's shoulder with a big grin, and smiled at He Linwan with a mouthful of white teeth: "Hello Miss He." ”

He Linwan glanced at them, nodded and smiled at Yuan Yan, and then walked away from them with the maids.

Yuan gradually widened his eyes, looked down at his younger brother, and said uncertainly: "This is the eldest girl of the He family? I didn't recognize the wrong person, ......did I?" Is she alright?"

Yuan Chun looked at He Linwan's back in the distance, but his face was a little complicated, this was the second time He Linwan turned a blind eye to him, the only two times.

Yuan gradually touched his chin and pondered for a long time, slapped Yuan Chun, leaned into Yuan Chun's ear and whispered: "Could it be that last time she accidentally heard you say that it was impossible to marry a rude shrew, and she would only like a gentle and petty woman like He San, she decided to change her mind and become a new person?"

Yuan Chun's face changed, and after a long time, he held back a sentence with some annoyance: "That's not what I said!
