"That's a good idea, all right, you guys have a chat, and the two of us old ones will go first. Prime Minister Lin got up and said to a few people, he was going to go to the morning court-

After Prime Minister Lin and Aunt Lin left, several people were not as restrained as they were at the dinner table, and their expressions were a little relaxed at this moment, Lin Yue looked at Zi Han with some curiosity and appreciation in her eyes, and said, "I didn't know that my brother knew such an excellent son." ”

"Mrs. Tao has won the prize. Zi Han smiled lightly, lowered his eyes and drank tea, but did not look for a topic.

After all, she is an outsider, and she is not familiar with these princes and nobles, and she has no common topic.

"Hehe, in fact, we and Zi Gongzi only met last night, but it was like a friend at first sight, it just so happened that Zi Gongzi came to play, and he didn't come out often, so I thought a few people would be more lively together. Lin Shu smiled and looked at Lin Yue and the two, "It just so happens that there is nothing to do today, let's come to the lake together, there are many people and it is lively." ”

"Yes, that's fine. Lin Yue nodded.

At this moment, a family came in at the door and said to Lin Shu: "Young master, it has grown again." ”

Lin Shu's expression was stunned, his eyes flashed, and he waved his hand: "Send someone to pick it." ”

"Yes, young master. After the family had finished speaking, he went down.

Several people's faces are a little obscure at the moment, Wan Yannuo is the seventh prince, even if he has a good relationship with Lin Shu, it is impossible to come out from time to time, although he knows something about their family's affairs, but it is also word of mouth, and he has not seen it with his own eyes so far, at this moment, he was a little curious, so he asked: "Lin Shu, what is going on with your family's lotus pond? I have heard a lot of rumors in the palace."

As soon as these words came out, Zi Han gave Wan Yannuo a thumbs up in his heart, awesome!

"Alas, don't mention it. Lin Shu sighed, "It's been three years now, and new blood lotuses will grow almost every ten days and half a month, our Lin Mansion has done a lot of measures to no avail, even those warlocks on the rivers and lakes have been invited back, it's still like this, and over time we will get used to it, and our Lin Mansion hasn't had anything weird because of the appearance of the blood lotus, just as if it was a transparent one, it grew out and picked it, after all, the blood red color looked weird." Lin Shu said with a somewhat obscure expression, although this matter was very strange, it really didn't have any impact on their family, at most it was just a discussion from outsiders.

"Oh?" Wan Yannuo raised his eyebrows, "Can you show me a look?" I've been to your Lin Mansion so many times, and I've never seen it. ”

Lin Shu nodded, "Let's go, it's not a secret anyway." ”

After that, he said to Zi Han: "Zi Gongzi is from out of town, maybe I haven't heard of it, let's take a look." ”

As he spoke, he ordered his subordinates not to pick the blood lotus first, and then pick it after a few people finished watching.

Zi Han followed behind Lin Shu, his expression was a little suspicious, and asked, "I didn't know that Lin Gongzi's family still had such strange things, it just so happened that I was quite interested in this matter, and I had cracked several cases before." ”

"Oh?" Lin Shu raised his eyebrows when he heard this, and said with interest: "That's really great, maybe this mystery will be solved for Zi Gongzi." ”

"Hehe, but don't report too much hope, I was all mistaken. Zi Han smiled lightly, but said in her heart, this is the first time that the old lady has solved the case~~~ She must be successfully solved, otherwise she will be eliminated!

"I can't say that, my Lin Mansion has also invited a lot of capable people back for this, and they have not been successfully cracked so far, if Zi Gongzi is interested, this case will let you take over and play, anyway, it's been three years, we don't care anymore, we just want to know the reason." Lin Shu waved his hand, just because of this matter, the Lin Mansion also spent a lot of unjust money.

"Let's see, if I really have that ability, I'll take it and see. Zi Han replied lightly, but she was complaining in her heart, Nima, I have to take over if I have the ability to take over, if I don't take over, her big competition will end here~~~

Lin Shu took a few people to the back of the Lin Mansion, along the way Zi Han saw the surrounding flowers and plants and rockeries, the structure of the entire mansion is the same as those parks, the path under the feet is paved with pieces of milky white pebbles, the flowers and plants planted on both sides are very smooth, there is not a single grass or a branch of flowers stretched out to the path, I believe that people with obsessive-compulsive disorder will be very comfortable walking here.

The Lin Mansion was very large, and several people walked all the way and chatted, Zi Han felt that they seemed to have gone around to the backyard of the Lin Mansion at the moment, and from afar, she saw a pond of lotus flowers blooming under the fence in front of her, only that branch, bright red as blood, it was blooming in the middle of the pool

It seems that compared to other lotus flowers, the blood lotus blooms large and bright, more than twice the size of the surrounding lotus.

Several people approached the lotus pond and stood in the small pavilion that extended into the lotus pond, their eyes were a little curious, especially Wan Yannuo and Zi Han, after all, everyone else was used to seeing them, and only the two of them had never seen them, and at this moment, the eyes of the two of them staring at the blood lotus in the lotus pond were a little bright.

Zi Han looked at the blood lotus, his eyes looked at the bottom of its water surface, it shouldn't be a problem with water quality, after all, if it is a problem with water quality, it shouldn't be like just a lotus flower, but looking at the expressions of these people in the Lin Mansion, it doesn't seem like it was artificial, after all, there is no reason!

Zi Han's eyes flickered a little, looked at Lin Shu, and said, "Young Master Lin, can you pick up that blood lotus and let me have a look?"

Lin Shu's expression was a little obscure when he heard this, and he said to Zi Han: "If Zi Gongzi doesn't dislike it, I don't have an opinion on what the ominous meaning is, but I'm afraid that this blood lotus will bring some bad luck to Zi Gongzi, and it will not be good if something happens then." ”

"Huh?" Zi Han frowned slightly, "What happened to the people who came into contact with it?"

Lin Shu sighed, "Yes, many of the people who came to my Lin Mansion to investigate this blood lotus before have died because they have come into contact with the blood lotus. ”

Zi Han's eyes flickered a little when he heard this, raised his eyebrows, and said, "It's okay, I've never believed in evil, and there must be a reason for what happened, maybe it's just that those people are unlucky." She smiled, looking a little unconcerned.

Seeing Zi Han like this, Lin Shu no longer stopped him, after all, not all the people who had come into contact with the blood lotus died, but only a part.

The family put the picked blood lotus in front of several people, and Wan Yannuo and Zi Han surrounded the side, as if they were not taboo at all.

Lin Shu originally wanted to stop Yan Nuo, but when he thought about his temper, he couldn't persuade him, so let him be.

Looking at it from a quiet distance, the blood lotus seemed to be even more bright red, lying quietly on the board, and there was a cloth underneath, which was wrapped by those family members to prevent them from coming into contact with the blood lotus.

After all, these people are still more evil-minded, like Lin Shu, although they don't believe in any ghosts and gods, but if they really want to touch this blood lotus, they don't dare.

There are also some water droplets on the blood lotus, and when it is stained on the blood lotus, it is like a clear pearl, so bright.

Zi Han stretched out his hand and picked a piece of blood lotus petal, put it in his hand and looked at it quietly, he wanted to put it on the tip of his nose and smell it, but found that the sight of Lin Shu and the few people around him was a little strange, that is, he inadvertently picked up the petals with his fingertips and still returned to the cloth, and glanced at the interface where the petals were pulled out from the corner of his eyes, and even the inside of the petals was bright red?

Immediately, she looked at the root of the blood lotus again, and she asked Lin Shu at the root, "This blood lotus was cut from the middle?"

"Well, because the water in this lotus pond is relatively deep, it is impossible to send someone to the bottom of the pond to pull out the roots every time, so I cut it off from the middle section. Lin Shu replied, his eyes were a little suspicious, "What's the problem, Zi Gongzi?"

"Nope. Zi Han shook his head, a glimmer of light flashed in his eyes, "I just think it's a little strange that its roots don't have roots, it turned out to be cut from the middle, and this is the explanation of the past." ”

Lin Shu nodded when he saw Zi Han say this, "We have also sent someone to pull it up from the roots before, but we found that no matter how we get it, it still grows, so there is no need to bother." ”

"Did anyone go down to study the blood lotus before that Lin Mansion?"

"Of course there is, not a few, they all think that it may be something under the bottom of the pond, that is, they dived down in person, and specially brought the silt up, but they found that there was nothing special, and over time no one went down, and the rest were those monks and Taoists, either doing it or chanting scriptures, one by one mysterious and mysterious, but it was useless. Lin Shu's expression was a little disdainful, how could a real master come to decrypt this mundane matter~ It's just a group of people who eat together.

"I see. Zi Han nodded and didn't ask again.

"Zi Gongzi saw this blood lotus, but what did he find?" Lin Shu asked curiously when he saw that Zi Han didn't speak.

I saw her shake her head and smile bitterly: "I didn't find anything, but I was very curious, I wanted to take over this mystery and play, can Lin Gongzi agree?" When she said this, she kept looking at the facial expressions of several people in the corner of her eyes.

"Of course you can, anyway, I wish Zi Gongzi could stay in my mansion for a while longer. Lin Shu agreed, and with a wave of his hand, he asked the family to take the blood lotus away and burn it.

Wan Yannuo saw the blood lotus take it away, his face was a little strange, and said: "This is really strange, there was a red lotus in the palace before, but it is different from yours, it is a real red lotus, and this is a blood lotus, the color of the two is really a little surprised, its red lotus is heard to be soaked in pigment since childhood, so it got that kind of red, and your blood lotus is raised with clear water, can this color appear? )
