Chapter 335 Inner Study
Xu Pan turned his head and saw that under the sunlight through the curtains, there was a woman wearing a lilac jacket and a white moon dress.
This woman is not tall, and she can't see her face clearly in the sun, she is dressed elegantly and plainly, and her hands have not had time to leave the mahogany tray that holds the tea.
The fragrance of tea slowly swept into the air, and with the breeze, it surrounded the tip of Xu Pan's nose.
For a moment, his heart skipped a rapid beat, and he thought that his little wife had returned.
However, he finally saw this woman's appearance clearly, with delicate eyebrows and eyes, ruddy lips, and small chin.
Xu Pan didn't have any memory of her, he glanced at her suspiciously, and deliberately opened his mouth to ask, but before he could speak, he saw that the woman opened her mouth very politely.
"Please uncle, the slave and maid are now serving in the uncle's study. The silk coat bowed and whispered.
"Silk clothes?" Xu Pan couldn't remember at all.
Seeing that he didn't recognize himself, a little disappointment flashed on his face, and then he said: "The slave and the slave's mother came from Shu with the second lady. At first, the slave maid served in the second lady's room, and then the second lady sent the slave and maid to you, and served for more than half a year. Later, the slave maid was not in good health, so she went to Zhuangzi, and just came back yesterday, the lady arranged the slave and maid to serve in the study. ”
Xu Pan heard her say that she was from the Yao family, and suddenly for a moment, although he couldn't remember that this silk coat had served him, but the people of the Yao family made him feel relieved from the bottom of his heart.
He said a pleasant "um", raised his eyes to see a few peach blossoms on the bookcase, and nodded again: "You did a good job." ”
After he finished speaking, he ignored the silk coat, turned around, and continued to look through the local chronicles.
The silk clothes got his praise, and he couldn't help but be happy in his heart, he hurriedly took a cup of tea, walked lightly to the bookcase, and said softly to Xu Pan: "Uncle read the books of these times, the slave maid made tea, Uncle take a break." ”
Xu Pan didn't look back, but said casually: "Let it go."
Silk Coat obediently put the tea on the bookcase, and then turned around and exited the study.
She went out of the door of the study, and did not leave for a while, but stood under the porch, looking through the window screen, looking at the vague but still visible majestic and tall figure in the room. She pursed her lips and bent the corners of her mouth, and looked at the back for a few breaths before she raised her feet and left.
Xu Pan flipped through the books for about two quarters of an hour, and also hugged four or five books, and the local chronicles left.
He handed over these local chronicles to Ping Sakura and went to the study outside to deal with things.
When it was time for dinner, after he had dinner alone, he just sat down and drank two sips of tea, don't listen to someone outside going back and forth, saying that the maid in the study has something important to return.
What can a maid in the study do? Xu Pan raised his eyebrows, and opened his mouth to let the silk clothes come in.
The silk clothes ran into the door in small steps, she was in a hurry, with a frightened face, and after entering the door, she saluted, and said hurriedly: "Uncle, the slave and maid have just sprinkled and swept in the study." After sweeping back, I remembered the slave's Juanpa, forgot it in it, and was going to get it back, but when the slave and maid arrived at the door of the study, they saw a figure in the study, and the slave and maid hurriedly shouted inside, and the black shadow was gone, but the slave heard a sound from the window lattice. Slaves...... The slave did not dare to go in, so she shouted for someone to come and see, but there was nothing in the study. The slave suspects that someone broke into the study while people were not looking!"
When Xu Pan heard this, he immediately frowned.
In the inner study of the main courtyard, someone dares to break in?!
"Did you really see clearly? Seeing the shadow, how tall is a person?" Xu Pan asked in a deep voice.
The silk cloth hurriedly replied: "Back to the uncle, that person has never straightened his waist, and the slave and maid can't say for sure!"
Xu Pan groaned for a moment and said in a loud voice: "Go over and have a look." ”
He frowned, immediately got up, and strode forward. And the silk coat behind him didn't dare to delay at all, and kept following step by step.
Perhaps it was the reason why the silk clothes shouted at the time, and there were still several people standing in front of the door of the study. Xu Pan's face sank, and when he saw Fu Ping also running over, he looked back at him and said, "Go and ask Shao Ban, has anyone broken into Bo's Mansion at night?"
After he finished speaking, he pointed to the servants gathered below: "Among you, can any of you see anything? If you do, you all tell Fu Ping that you will be rewarded for what you say." ”
Telling a few words of truth will be rewarded, that is really a good thing, but the people below exchanged words in a whisper, hesitated and hesitated, but no one stepped forward to report back to Fu Ping.
Xu Pan suppressed his brows, doesn't anyone know?
A bolder old woman stood up and said, "Back to Uncle, when the slaves and maids ran here, the thief had already left, and he didn't see anything important. ”
When she said this, the people next to her all nodded their heads and said yes.
Xu Pan listened and didn't say anything more.
Except for the silk clothes who saw a little figure of this person, no one saw the side, but I didn't expect this thief to come and go without a trace.
Xu Pan ordered the silk clothes to open the door of the study, and he made the lamp turn on, and the study was not illuminated.
But the study was still meticulous, there were no footprints, no traces of movement, and even the unfamiliar breath that had entered the room could not be distinguished, only the peach blossoms emitted a faint fragrance, as if no one had ever come.
The windows of the study were all ajar, and when the silk clothes saw Xu Pan's questioning gaze, they hurriedly understood and replied: "The slave maid finished sweeping just now, and I was afraid that there would still be dust and wetness in the room, so I didn't close the window." ”
So it seems that the thief came in through the window and fled through the window.
Xu Pan took a closer look in the study, and asked the silk clothes that had just been cleaned in the study to search for it, but he never found anything strange.
Shao Ban also came back and forth with Fu Ping, saying that he didn't find anyone who dared to break into Bo's Mansion at night.
Shao Ban led people to patrol and always did it in place, and since Yu Xiaoling suspected that there was a brocade guard in the house, even the garden has strengthened its precautions, not to mention the main courtyard of the uncle.
Since Shao Ban and the guards patrolling below said that they didn't see anyone breaking in, it seems that there are only two possibilities for this matter.
Either it was the martial arts master who broke in, and the high level of martial arts could make the guards of the Bofu unaware, or the people in the palace grasped the gap in the guards' inspection and took the opportunity to commit crimes.
Either way, it's dangerous.
Xu Pan couldn't help but fall into deep thought.
