"Wait!" Qiao Lezi stopped Pei Ming, who was about to be taken out of the exhibition hall by the officials and ready to be taken to the prison, "This mansion asks you, did you come up with this murderous method yourself?"

"Yes. Pei Ming replied without hesitation.

Qiao Lezi rolled his eyes, did not continue to ask, waved his hand and asked the official to take Pei Ming away, but called Mr. Li from the handicraft club to the front: "Pei Ming's latte paper carving has been done in your club before?"

Mr. Li shook his head: "No, unheard of." ”

Qiao Lezi asked the other five people, "Have you ever seen his paper sculptures?"

The five shook their heads in unison.

"Mr. Li, this official needs to see all the members of the handicraft society immediately, please bring people here as soon as possible," Qiao Lezi turned his head to his two subordinates and said, "Go to Pei Ming's house immediately, firstly inform his family of the reason for this case, and second, carefully ask the people around Pei Ming, can anyone have seen Pei Ming make this kind of latte paper carving, since when did he start doing it, and where he has been recently, who he has seen, and what is different in his daily life, the more detailed the better, go quickly." ”

Seeing that this matter was over, the four to nine gangs didn't want to stay longer, and came over to salute Qiao Lezi to say goodbye, and a group of children walked out with a bang, Qiao Lezi looked at the back of these children, and his eyes inadvertently fell on the back of the head of the Lu family girl, the girl seemed to sense something, and suddenly turned around, and the eyes of the two people were so together, they couldn't help but be stunned, the girl smiled at him, and he couldn't help but smile at others.

After this incident, the gang didn't want to stay in Dongxi Academy for a long time, and there was still a while before lunch, and several people stood outside the gate of the academy to discuss where to go.

"Feel free to do so, I'm going to Lord Xiao's house. "Young Master Yan Jiu and Yan Qidao.

"Then be obedient and be polite when you go. "Yan Qidao.

Young Master Yan Jiu: "......"

Xiao Chen glanced at Yan Qi and said, "If you don't mind, you might as well go to our mansion for lunch." ”

"It's too disturbing, isn't it?" Yan Qi politely.

"Don't bother. Xiao Chen said.

Yan Qi looked at Wu Yue, Lu Rong and Cui Xi, these three had no opinion, and everyone went all the way to Xiao Mansion.

Xiao Tianhang took a break today, just didn't go out, read and drank tea in the outer study, and was relieved to hear that his son led a group of friends back, but after a while, the little guy outside came in and reported: "Master, the young master brought two guests and wanted to meet the master." ”

Xiao Tianhang was a little puzzled, but he couldn't help but support his son, so he asked someone to come in, put on a serious and kind look, and sat on the chair in the hall.

As a result, as soon as he saw one of the two guests brought in by his son, Xiao Tianhang couldn't sit still any longer, got up and took two steps forward, looking at him with some surprise and excitement: "An An?"

"Hello Lord Xiao. Yan Qi saluted, pointing to Young Master Yan Jiu, who was also saluting him, "This is Brother Jinghong." ”

"Ahem, okay," Xiao Tianhang realized that he was a little out of shape, and quickly corrected his attitude, "Sure enough, it's a young talent, come, sit, sit." ”

A few people sat down, waited for the tea, and after politely sipping it, Young Master Yan Jiu took the lead in speaking, bowed slightly and said to Xiao Tianhang, whose eyes always fell on Yan Qi: "My lord, I took the liberty to come to the door today, and I really want to ask for advice from the juniors." ”

"Oh, say. Xiao Tianhang came back to his senses, and then he moved his gaze to Young Master Yan Jiu's face, and saw that this child was neither humble nor arrogant looking at him quietly with a pair of black and white eyes, and he couldn't help but move in his heart—this kid ...... is so similar to An An's birth, could it be-

"The junior bought an exhibit at the Dongxi Academy Handicraft Charity Bazaar," Young Master Yan Jiu said and unfolded the scroll in his hand, "This painting is said to have been donated by Lord Xiao, and the junior wants to know who the author of this painting is." ”

When Xiao Tianhangfu saw this painting, he couldn't help but be taken aback, and hurriedly said: "This painting was indeed owned by my Xiao Mansion, but I don't know about any charity bazaar...... Qingtong!" said he called the personal chief into the door, "Go and ask Madame if she knows anything about the charity sale, and if she has donated anything." ”

Qingtong hurriedly took the order, and Young Master Yan Jiu continued to ask Xiao Tianhang: "My lord, since this painting is indeed owned by your mansion, dare to ask your lordship if you know who the author of this painting is?"

Xiao Tianhang frowned, looked at Young Master Yan Jiu, and said slowly: "I inadvertently bought this painting from the calligraphy and painting market, and I didn't see the payment when I bought it, so I don't know who the author of the painting is." ”

One sentence blocked all the questions to be asked behind Young Master Yan Jiu.

Young Master Yan Jiu was as calm as usual, slowly picked up the picture scroll and put it on the table next to him, and then raised his eyes to look at Xiao Tianhang: "It is said that Lord Xiao has a great relationship with his father, so he was invited to participate in the three baptisms of his sister, and his father is seventeen years old, dare to ask when Lord Xiao and his father met?"

Xiao Tianhang squinted his eyes and looked at the little boy in front of him, his face was silent, and he only said lightly: "That's when I met Ling Zun." ”

Young Master Yan Jiu said again: "I often hear my ancestor talk about my father's youth, and I said that my sister was still competing with others outside on the day of her birth, but she injured her forehead and wrapped gauze around her head and returned home.

But is this true? Is this true or false? The boy is testing him, what does he know? He came to ask about the painting, but he has already realized that the owner of the painting is......

"It's been so long since then, and I don't remember much of the chaos and the number of guests who were there. Xiao Tianhang said lightly.

"The ancestor also said that my father invited a lot of friends to drink at the house that day, and in the end, he got drunk and fell into a courtyard, does Lord Xiao have any impression?"

"I can't remember. "Xiao Tian Channel.

Young Master Yan Jiu smiled, stopped asking, and drank the tea on the table slowly.

Xiao Tianhang breathed a sigh of relief inexplicably, this kid is really difficult.

Fortunately, Chang Sui Qingtong has come back to restore his life: "Back to the master, Mrs. said that the painting was donated by her, just because she went out to sit with a friend a few days ago, and talked about the recent charity sale of Dongxi Academy. ”

Xiao Tianhang nodded, and said to Young Master Yan Jiu: "I found this painting before, and then I came to Beijing from the local government to take office, and brought the things together and piled them up in the library, and before I had time to clean them up, I was donated to the academy by my son." If the son of the Yan family likes it, he will ask the good student to keep it, if he only buys the painting in the name of the author, I am willing to buy it back, but I also like the painting very much, but Neiko does not know. ”

"This painting will be kept by the juniors," Young Master Yan Jiu said and stood up slowly, "I'm sorry to disturb my lord." ”

I don't plan to give him back the painting, and I don't plan to talk to him anymore.

Xiao Tianhang sighed in his heart and sent his son and his two little guests out of the study.

The lunch of the Xiao family was very richly prepared, Xiao Tianhang and Mrs. Xiao did not participate, leaving the space to Xiao Chen and his guests, the snow outside stopped, the charcoal basin in the house burned warmly, and the six people sat around the table, eating, drinking, talking and laughing, not having some intimacy and warmth.

"Are you all going to cheer me on in the afternoon?" Wu Yue asked happily.

"Yes, I even brought the charcoal that I needed to watch the game, a whole car, and when the time came, all of us were burned, how warm and warm it was, and if you wanted to see us from the sidelines, you would look for it in the stands, and we would stand in the middle of the fire and look at you. "Yan Qidao.

Wu Yue burst into laughter all of a sudden: "What I know is that you are heating, and those who don't know think that you want to be a collective **!"

"It depends on your performance on the field in the afternoon," Yan Qidao, "Don't embarrass us, otherwise we will protest with **, burn the small lotus root first, the body is thin, and it is better." ”

Lu Lotus was drinking soup, and almost choked when she heard the words, and slapped Yan Qi on the shoulder.

"Hahahaha!" Wu Yue couldn't laugh, "I can't guarantee this, today's opponent is Jiyue Academy!"

"The sworn enemy will have to win even more," Yan Qidao said, "Think about how we won the Yushu in the first place, Xiao Chen and Captain Kong both hung themselves in the southeast branch in the end. ”

Xiao Chen: Don't mention the black history of "......" again.

"By the way, November 19 is Lord Min's birthday, and my family has already received a post, what about you?" Wu Yue asked.

"Pick it up. "Everybody's talking.

"Lord Min has a whole life, I heard that I was going to have a big life, and most of the officials of the imperial court let his family give a post, but because of the snow disaster in the south and the soldiers in the north, it is not good to be extravagant at this moment, but I want to temporarily reduce the scale, and the posts have already been released," Wu Yue said in a low voice, "It is said that later the emperor gave the Min family a step down, and gave the palace servants to go to the Min Mansion to celebrate their birthday that day, which means that the Min Mansion was allowed to let go of the operation - the emperor is really gracious to the Min family." ”

"Maybe it's because Concubine Min is favored in the palace. Lu Rong also gossiped.

"When the time comes, will we all wear clothes of the same color?" Wu Yue is still a little girl's heart, and the focus is actually here, "I have long wanted to wear the cotton skirt with a white rabbit fur collar we bought a while ago!"

A while ago, a person who went shopping in Wuliuqi bought the same cotton skirt with the same terms, only the color was different, Wu Yue's was pomegranate red, Lu Lotus was lotus powder, Yan Qi was nightshade purple, and the servants made an appointment to wear it together, and this time it was a good time.

After the three girls finished talking about the clothes and began to talk about the jewelry they were going to wear that day, they were so unhappy that they were chattering, the three young masters at the dinner table had completely become listeners, Cui Xi could still talk a few words, Young Master Yan Jiu simply ignored it, just thought about it when he was full of stomach and thought about it, Xiao Chen out of the politeness of the master's family, it was not good to ignore a few girls, and this time he listened to the book of heaven and kept silent seriously beside him.

It was easy to clean up the table, the girls got together to continue the topic, and the boys could finally get out of the sea of suffering and sit far away, but Cui Xi was still sitting next to Yan Qi, Young Master Yan Jiu picked up a corner and continued to ponder, Xiao Chen thought about it, walked to Young Master Yan Jiu and sat down.

Young Master Yan Jiu raised his eyelids and glanced at him, and said, "You want to ask why I said those things to Ling Zun?"

Xiao Chen was surprised by this child's intelligence and maturity that did not match his age, nodded and said, "You have met my father before?"

"I've never seen it, but there are some things that I can't get rid of. Young Master Yan Jiu looked at Xiao Chen, "Ling Zun is lying, my sister was born in the office of my father, just now I mentioned what my sister saw with her own eyes when she washed the third day, but it was actually false, but Ling Zun did not point it out, it can be seen that what he said to his sister about participating in the three baptisms of his sister is also false." ”

"Why are you telling me this?" Xiao Chen said.

"Maybe you're willing to tell me or my sister something about Ling Zun," Young Master Yan Jiu looked at Xiao Chen with a smirk, "And if you don't want to, I'm also welcome you to bring my words to Ling Zun, let him know that I have seen through his lies, and I'll welcome Ling Zun to come to me at any time to talk about him or my father's past." ”

Xiao Chen felt that this little boy was very powerful, he was shouting at the adults, and he still had the domineering spirit of sitting firmly on the Diaoyutai, what did he know? Why did he do this? What did Dad know about the Yan Qi sisters and brothers?

When he thought about it, he suddenly realized that this little boy had deliberately told him this! He just wanted to arouse his doubts and curiosity, he knew that he would not turn a blind eye to Yan Qi's affairs, he lured him to investigate, he wanted to beat him with this grass, and startled his father's snake! 166 Reading Network
