The next day. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

While Aunt Shunzi was busy making lunch, Qiaoya went out for a walk, and when she came back, she mysteriously took out a box and handed it to Xue Ying.

This box was the one that Xue Ying told her to go to the miscellaneous courtyard to find - it was the mysterious box that fell and smashed Xue Ying that day, and those pursuers may not have noticed its existence, so they stayed where it was. Last night, Xue Ying asked Qiaoya to take a look when she was free, but this girl brought it back directly early in the morning.

The box had been simply wiped before, so as not to take the dirty stuff directly to her. It also made it easier for Xue Ying to see what it was: the box was made of sandalwood, locked with a brass lock the size of a thumb and finger, and had a simple appearance carved with a simple symbol - the same as the one of Zhao Zhuangtou's family.

Qiaoya also found out, and unconsciously stuffed her thumb into her mouth and gnawed: "Isn't this the sign of Master's family?"

Xue Ying pulled her hand out: "Well, you didn't ask what this is?"

Qiaoya replied: "Of course I asked, but my master refused to say, and they all said they didn't know." She fiddled with the brass lock and asked, with some excitement and curiosity, "Do you want me to smash it open?"

"I don't know what it's pretending to, what a pity if I accidentally break it......" Xue Ying hesitated, after all, this thing was not hers, and she didn't dare to destroy it at will.

Qiaoya's eyes rolled twice, and she clapped her hands: "I have a way, San Lang will open the lock, I'll ask him for help!"

Da Lang, Erlang, San Lang, etc. are the names that everyone calls the sons of Zhao Zhuangtou's family, and everyone is used to calling them like this, so that Xue Ying still hasn't figured out what the names of their big names are.

"Saburo can pick the lock?" she wondered, "Did your master teach you?"

"No, I heard that a few years ago, a man named Hanako passed by, and Saburo gave him two bowls of rice, and the old man taught him. Qiaoya picked up the box and said to do it, "I'll go to San Lang, if my mother asks, just say I'm looking for the master!" After speaking, she ran out, and Xue Ying didn't have time to say what she wanted to say.

There was no way, she had to pick the most important sentence: "Be careful, the road is slippery!"

"Got it!" replied Qiaoya from afar.

Xue Ying shook her head and sighed, comforting herself: "Forget it, this girl is not stupid, she should know how to adapt to the situation." ”

Qiaoya didn't leave for long, and came back before lunch, her little face flushed from excitement and running back and forth: "Miss, it's open." ”

Putting the box in front of Xue Ying, she came over to ask for credit: "Don't worry, I asked San Lang to help open the lock, and I didn't let him see what was inside—neither of us looked at it." ”

"That's smart. Xue Ying tapped her forehead, opened the box, and took out the contents inside: a few books, a topographic map.

The book appears to have been written by the same person, with the words "Chess Score" written on the cover, unsigned, and divided into four volumes. Xue Ying flipped through it casually, because she couldn't play chess, she just felt that she couldn't understand it in the clouds, and when she opened the map, she found that there were also dots and forks and circles of various symbols inside, which made people dizzy.

"Ah, why are these things......" Qiaoya was a little disappointed, and then looked into the box again, her eyes lit up, "Miss, look!"

"Huh?" Xue Ying followed her point, and found that there was a piece of jade in the corner of the box, and when she picked it up, she saw that the jade was about the size of three fingers, round, bulging from front to back, with four small square holes in the middle - it looked like a chubby button, and in general it was not very novel, but the color was like mutton fat, and the tentacles were warm and comfortable.

"This thing is good, miss, shall I get you a rope to string and bring it?" Qiao Ya suggested.

"Forget it, it's someone else's stuff, let's put it away. ”

Qiao Ya pouted: "This box is so dirty that it looks like it has been put for hundreds of years, and the person who put it probably forgot it." Besides, this yard belongs to the young lady's family, and this thing is not yours, is it?"

Xue Ying was speechless by her, and in the end she could only use the privilege: "I said put it away." ”

"Okay. Qiaoya had no choice but to put the box aside, planning to wait for Dong Xun to come in before handing it over to her - it was still Dong Xun who was in charge of keeping Xue Ying's property.

The days continued to pass calmly, and Xue Ying did not deliberately inquire about how the "robber incident" was finally resolved: Aunt Shunzi was right, she is just a child now, and she should be like a child.

However, she didn't forget that there was a Qiaoya who was born with a "gossip physique" by her side. Sure enough, half a month later, Qiaoya finally restored the matter.

On that day, the courtyard was occupied by deserters, and those people threatened Xue Ying's reputation and demanded that the Marquis of Jian'an come forward to pardon their sins. On the one hand, Zhao Zhuangtou appeased them, and on the other hand, he quickly entered the mountain and invited Orion Wang Cang, that is, the husband of Liuli Master.

Wang Cang's ability is very powerful, he can sneak into the courtyard quietly in the middle of the night and fascinate all the people, Zhao Zhuangtou and Aunt He'an searched the people one by one after tying them up, ensuring that those people would not leave anything threatening, and finally negotiated outside the courtyard.

The specific negotiation process cannot be examined, and the result of the negotiation is that those people finally left, and judging from Zhao Zhuangtou's performance, this matter did not leave a disaster.

A body search can ensure that those people will not take anything threatening?" Xue Ying was skeptical. Therefore, since Zhao Zhuangtou is so sure that the matter has passed, then, in the negotiation process, they must still have a back hand, but, what will it be?

She remembered the sign that had appeared in Zhao Zhuangtou's house and in the box in the utility room, what did that sign represent? Will it have anything to do with Zhao Zhuangtou's solution to the desertion incident this time?

"Miss, Miss!" Qiao Ya shook her hand in front of her eyes, "Why are you distracted again?"

"Hmm, what's wrong?" Xue Ying came back to her senses.

"Miss, may I ask you something?"

"What?"

Qiaoya's begging expression was full of unconcealed eccentricity: "I want to go ice skating with Yunyou and them to Half Moon Lake, is it okay?"

"Ice skating?" Xue Ying remembered, Qiao Ya had mentioned this matter before. The weather has been fine since the robbers left, but now it's very cold, and the ice on the lake is thick enough, so it's a good day for ice skating.

"You have to ask Uncle Shunzi and Aunt Shunzi about this, why do I do it?" Although she is Qiaoya's little master, it should be Qiaoya's parents who can play a decisive role in this kind of thing, right?

"Because it's better for Miss to speak. "Qiaoya is right.

"Hmph, I'm also a child, so it doesn't count. Xue Ying waved her hand.

Qiao Ya pouted: "Miss is cheating!" If Miss is willing to talk to her parents, no matter how unwilling her parents are, they will give her a few faces-after all, she is still the master, isn't she?
