Chapter 11: Meeting

It's late autumn, and the maple tree in the yard shows the best scene of my life. The layers of red leaves on the pen & fun & pavilion www.biquge.info seem to be burning, dazzling so that people dare not look at it directly.

The little crane was in a daze at the red maple, the good times were not always there, and the maple leaves fell immediately after they were red. Just like herself, it was when she was in high spirits that a drunken car sent her to this confused era, and she actually threw herself into the girl who was brought up by wolves.

"White-haired witch", or a savage in the mountains, fortunately met Xie Caiwei quickly, otherwise, Xiaohe is really not sure if she will die again, the body of a four- or five-year-old girl, the thoughts of a mature woman in her twenties, tell her how to accept living naked with a she-wolf in the jungle, wanting to live a human life but not enough energy. In just one day, Xiaohe was about to collapse, so even if she was taking care of Xie Caiwei later, Xiaohe was still grateful.

The red clothes are coming from afar, and the weather has begun to get colder, so the girl should add a dress.

It was early in the morning, and the dew between the plants and trees was crystal clear, and under the sunlight, it was like a dream. The little crane stood in the courtyard, a snow-white brocade shirt, embroidered with light green fine patterns on the placket cuffs, and a light green eight-fold pleated skirt underneath. The face is fair and delicate, and the dark eyes are full of confusion. Chiyi couldn't find the words to describe it, but she felt that the girl seemed to be an elf in the grass and trees, and she seemed to be dyed with fairy energy, and this expression was like she was about to leave empty.

"Girl," Chiyi shouted urgently, calling the little crane back from nothingness, and a pair of black eyes moved. Red Yi sighed secretly and put the robe on Xiaohe.

"Girl, it's getting cold, you must add one more in the morning, my daughter's house is not going to be cold. Chiyi couldn't help but nag.

"Hey, hey, our girl in red has become an old lady, look at this, hehe......" Xiaohe smiled, his confused expression disappeared, and the liveliness of the past returned to his body.

The red clothes also smiled when they heard the words, and affectionately helped the little crane. "Girl, go back! It's time for Master Zuo to come and pay respects. Last night he had sent a message that he would see the girl this morning. ”

"Let's go," Xiao He nodded, "Tell Tsing Yi to make a white chrysanthemum steamed cake, that Qingkou." ”

Crane meets Oza in the front yard. She actually doesn't care about the defense of men and women, but Lin Mao is strict, the girl is older, and those etiquettes must not be saved, especially in the capital, there are a lot of rules for everyone's ladies.

The last time I saw Xie Chen and the three of them in the bookstore, Lin Mao had already complained about it, if it wasn't for Xiaohe's insistence on seeing Xie Chen with his own eyes, he would definitely not be able to make the trip.

In two years, Xiao Zuo Xiaoyou has grown up very quickly, and the little boy who used to run with Lin Mao is now able to take charge of himself.

The two of them recruited more than a dozen small servants, who were specifically responsible for dealing with the subordinates of the major mansions in the capital, the porter, the groom, the steward who bought vegetables, the grandmother who bought rouge gouache, and even collected feces. Of course, things are done very secretly, these little guys don't know each other, but they report to Xiao Zuo at the land temple outside the city at a fixed time every month, and many times, they can't see Xiao Zuo, just put the note in the designated place.

Xiao Zuo is calm and thoughtful, and is responsible for sorting out these seemingly useless news, and then handing it over to Li Da's shopkeeper. Now that Xiaohe has arrived in the capital, these news will soon reach her hands.

Xiaoyou was born with a sweet mouth, good to make friends with the three religions and nine streams, Xiaohe gave a lot of silver, over time, the news from all walks of life in the capital was gathered into Xiaoyou's hands through the collection of buying art and singing operas in the streets and alleys, as well as those ruffians who eat people with short mouths, knowing that this young master who loves to entertain likes to listen to the anecdotes of the court and various governments, and they are also doing their best. These useful and useless messages also entered Xiaohe's hands through Xiao Zuo's organization.

Now, Xiao Zuo Xiaoyou is Xiao He's secret eyes, staring at this huge capital for her.

"I've seen the girl. "Xiao Zuo came in and saluted Xiao He.

Xiao He smiled slightly and said, "Xiao Zuo is here, sit down and say, red clothes, serve tea to Xiao Zuo." ”

Xiao Zuo smiled, and he was not polite to Xiao He, everyone who followed the girl knew that the girl never put on a stand in front of her own people, and asked you to sit, that is, to ask you to sit, but not to talk about it.

"Girl, as expected, someone secretly inquired about Chengqi Bookstore and Tianyi Pavilion," Xiao Zuo said, "According to the girl's instructions, we only revealed the ins and outs of Li Da's shopkeeper and Zhu's shopkeeper. ”

Xiao He took a sip of tea, then shook his head and said, "That is only useful for ordinary people, if the Zhenguo Mansion and General Xie only have these skills, they will not be able to stand at the peak of the power of this Great Chen Dynasty." Alas, what is the mother for?"

"By the way, in the past two days, how have the bookstore and Tianyi Pavilion been, and how are they now. Xiaohe frowned and thought about it carefully, "You and Xiaoyou don't have to make any moves in the past two days, and don't contact me for the time being." Tell the green clothes, and don't send news here. ”

"Yes," Xiao Zuo agreed, standing up, "I'll go and inform them right away." ”

Watching Xiao Zuo go out, Xiao Crane lazily leaned back in the chair, squinted and muttered to himself: "Alas, I know people and faces, but I don't know my heart, I always have to keep some hole cards." ”

Zhenguo Mansion.

"Subordinates see the general," Xie Nan walked into the study, "Chengqi Bookstore is really related to Tianyi Pavilion, Tianyi Pavilion's shopkeeper Zhu sold sixty percent of the shares to Chengqi Bookstore's shopkeeper Li Da a year ago. ”

General Xie nodded and motioned for Xie Nan to continue.

"The shopkeeper Zhu is a native of Lin'an, his family has been running a restaurant in the capital for more than 50 years, he is innocent, he has only one son, and he is a bookworm. Legend has it that Zhu Gongzi was reluctant to take over Tianyi Pavilion, so he connected Li Da to his father, and this led to the cooperation between the two families. ”

Xie Nan paused, pondered and said: "As for this Li Da shopkeeper, it seems that he is a member of the Min family of the Nanyue clan, and there is a jeweler from Nanyue in the capital who said that he had seen him in the Min family, and I have already sent someone to Nanyue, but I am afraid that the news will not come so quickly." ”

"Nanyue Min's family," General Xie raised his phoenix eyes lightly, "It's good to have a place to check, what about Xie Gui?"

"The most strange thing is this Xie Gui, we can't find this person," Xie Nan replied, "As a last resort, I used the relationship of the household department and found a strange thing." ”

"Oh, let's hear it. General Xie was interested and listened attentively.

Xie Nandao: "It turns out that the big proprietor of Chengqi Bookstore and Tianyi Pavilion is not Li Xinyuan and Li Da's shopkeeper, but a little girl named Xiaohe. Following this line, we touched Furong Lane in Xicheng. Xie Nan paused again, "I went to see it myself, and I suspect that the Xie Gui that the eldest prince saw was only afraid that it was this girl named Xiaohe." ”

"General, the young lady went in the direction of Lin'an Mansion at the beginning. Xie Nan's face became more and more cautious, "There is also a Chengqi Bookstore in Lin'an Mansion, and the eldest prince has a classmate from Lin'an, and it is said that the Chengqi Bookstore was originally opened in Qingshan Town under Duxian Mountain. ”

"Okay," General Xie stroked his palm, "There are nine flowers on Duxian Mountain." Finally, there is definite news of Cai Wei!"

"Tomorrow, you and Xie Dong will go to Tianyi Pavilion with me. ”
