In the afternoon of the same day, Zhou Tai went back to the city directly behind the convoy of the Chongning Marquis Mansion, and kept staring at Zhou Zhijian in the dark for more than ten days.

Lu Wanzao took the girl back to the Lu Mansion from the courtyard on the outskirts of the city, and asked a few girls to pay close attention to Mrs. Wensan's actions.

Until the twenty-second day of the lunar month, in the evening, Zhou Tai jumped into the courtyard silently from the alley behind the Lu Mansion with a head full of fine snow, stepping on the snow under his feet, but there was no sound at all, and his figure flashed into the Wangmei Courtyard very quickly, and nodded at the green branch that stayed at the door with a stunned face.

"You-" Green Branch blinked his eyes and took a breath, he couldn't care about being frightened, he hurriedly turned around and went inside to reply, and after a while, he lifted the curtain and came out, while paying attention to the situation outside the courtyard, and leading Zhou Tai into the ear room.

Zhou Tai stood silently in the middle of the room, stood for a while, there was a sound of footsteps in his ears, and when he raised his eyes, he saw Lu Wan walking in with a hand stove, and asked with a smile: "What are you staring at?" ”

Zhou Tai was stunned by Lu Wan's direct affirmative tone, glanced at Lu Wan with complicated eyes, stood in the middle of the room steadily, and responded in a stern voice: "I don't know what you want me to star, and I don't know how to count as 'what to stare at'......"

"Getting to the point!" Lu Wan exhaled, interrupted Zhou Tai's words angrily, and glanced up at Zhou Tai, "Since you have entered this courtyard directly, it must be an errand that has almost done it." So-" Lu Wan paused, looked at Zhou Taizheng's appearance, swallowed back the word "verbose" at the back, and changed his words, "You pick up the important ones first." If there is anything that is not clear, I will naturally ask you. ”

Zhou Tai frowned, his eyes paused on the small stove in Lu Wan's hand, and then went all the way up, and finally landed in Lu Wan's sullen eyes, and began to narrate Zhou Zhijian's behavior and whereabouts in the past ten days word for word from beginning to end with a strained face.

Lu Wan leaned on the back of the chair with the stove in his hand, and listened to Zhou Tai's reply with great interest, until he listened to more than ten sentences, he couldn't bear it, he held his forehead and took a breath, stared at Zhou Tai and said speechlessly: "Forget it, don't say it!" Or I'm asking you! Answer whatever you ask! After speaking, he nodded weakly to the chair below and motioned for Zhou Tai to sit down first.

Zhou Tai pursed his lips tightly, followed Lu Wan's gestures, and sat down under Lu Wan, with a little irritability and helplessness in his tone: "What do you want to do?" ”

"What I want to do, it depends on what you're staring at!" Lu Wan replied to Zhou Tai angrily, and snorted in disgust, "You said that you are a martial arts master, why are you so uncontrollable?" You've been in the capital for so many years, and you haven't learned to be polite with others? ”

Zhou Tai opened his mouth, but Lu Wanshu was speechless, turned his gaze away with a tense face, and pursed his mouth again and stopped talking. This girl is articulate, he can't talk about her!

"Forget it," Lu Wan paused, exhaled helplessly, waved his hand and asked, "Just roughly tell me where Zhou Zhijian has been going in the past ten days?" Who do you associate with? What enemies don't? ”

Zhou Tai was so embarrassed by Lu Wan's sigh that he lost his temper, sat down, did not squint, and replied coldly: "I haven't gone anywhere, this person has been going back and forth between the Chongning Hou Mansion and Taoyuan Street, and only once he has made a detour to Guozijian to find a person surnamed Wei to drink." There was also a trip to Taoyuan Street, and I heard the prince of Pingnan passing by halfway, and took the little servant to spare the way. The people who came and went, in addition to the previous surname Wei, there was also a person surnamed Ding, fifteen or sixteen years old, and the two went to Dicuilou to listen to music together every two days, and it was a night to listen to it. As for the enemy, the prince of Pingnan is probably one, and the others have not been found for the time being. ”

Having said this, Zhou Tai twisted his brows and paused, a trace of gloom passed between his eyebrows, and he glanced at Lu Wan, weighing in his heart whether to say the next words.

Lu Wan keenly caught the annoyance that flashed on Zhou Tai's face, straightened up, stared at Zhou Tai and asked in a deep voice, "What else is going on?" You make it clear! ”

"It's just two gossip," Zhou Tai raised his eyes and glanced at Lu Wan, retracted his gaze, hesitated for a moment, and replied sullenly, "That Zhou Zhijian mentioned the Lu family when he was drinking with the surnamed Ding, saying that he had taken a fancy to the Lu family and wanted to ......" Halfway through the words, Yu Guang caught a glimpse of Lu Wan's instantly gloomy expression, Zhou Tai coughed unconsciously, ruthlessly, and said the words behind him in a suppressed voice, "I want to take it into the house." ”

"He dared to think of it!" Lu Wan sneered and snorted, his eyes were cold, his fingers were clasped on the hand stove one by one, and his thoughts turned extremely fast, but after a moment, he had a plan in his heart, and he was angry, and there was a light smile on his face, as if the gloom just now was just an illusion of others, he got up and looked at Zhou Tai, and smiled word by word, "You don't have to follow him, go back and rest first." I'll invite you to watch the play in two days, thank you for your hard work for so many days. ”

Zhou Tai stood up without saying a word, stared at Lu Wan hesitantly for a moment, thought about it, and didn't ask any more questions. She must have been very annoyed by the laughter. That Zhou Zhijian eats, drinks, prostitutes, gambles, rapes/lewd, and plunders everything, and now he still wants to beat her idea, where can she bear her temper? Forget it, it's okay to let her get angry, anyway, Lord Lu should come back in a few days, and then she will know how to converge!

Thinking about it, Zhou Tai silently withdrew from the ear room, jumped lightly to the wall, and went out of Wangmei Courtyard in the blink of an eye.

Green Zhi watched Zhou Tai's movements in amazement, staring at his eyes and stunned with envy for a moment, and as soon as he came back to his senses, he heard Lu Wan's deep voice instruct: "You go to the concierge to find someone to spread the word, and let Xiao Si come over today." ”

As soon as it was dark, Zhao Xiaosi arrived at the west corner gate of Lufu, and stuffed a purse into the porter's mother-in-law with a smile. The mother-in-law of the porter smiled kindly with the heavy purse, turned her head and called the little girl to go inside to find the green branch to reply.

After a while, the green branch turned out and glanced at Zhao Xiaosi, and the two turned to the back of the door and muttered something for a while. It wasn't until the middle of the hour that Zhao Xiaosi turned out of the Lufujiao Gate with a calm face, paused at the mouth of the alley, pondered for a moment, and turned his head to Taoyuan Street.

******

In the blink of an eye, it is the twenty-fourth day of the lunar month, the Chinese New Year's Eve, from the morning, the weather is gloomy, and the clouds are overwhelmed, which looks particularly dull. At the beginning of the Shen period, the cold wind was blowing, and after a while, snow began to fall in the sky. As the Chinese New Year approaches, all parts of the capital are not cold and silent because of the sudden heavy snowfall, and the shops on the street are lit up as soon as it gets dark, and the streets and alleys are crowded with people, busy with traffic, crowded and crowded.

Taoyuan Street is even brighter at the moment, singing and laughing, and it is very lively.

Zhou Zhijian slowly shook the jade bone fan, swaggered into the Dicui Building, raised his chin and glanced around the building, and pouted a little indifferently, every day is like this, he is also tired of it!

"Ouch, I came here just in time today-" The old bustard's eyes were sharp, and when he saw Zhou Zhijian entering the door, he greeted him with a smile, leaned over with a smile on his face, and greeted him politely. Yu Guang caught a glimpse of the flicker on Zhou Zhijian's face, and the old bustard's mind turned quickly, he changed his mouth quietly, lowered his voice, approached Zhou Zhijian, and said with a sticky smile, "There is a new little girl in our building, who was bought from Yangzhou by the slave family for a lot of money, and is waiting for the master to open his face." Needless to say, that girl's appearance is even more unique, and she keeps it so that the master can have fun-"

As soon as the bustard's words were finished, Zhou Zhijian's little servant Zhou Fugui squeezed up from behind, with a hint of excitement and flattering smile on his face, intentionally or unintentionally tore the bustard away, and attached it to Zhou Zhijian's ear and encouraged: "Master, the little one just saw a little woman in her twenties at the back door, not only is she good-looking, but her figure is even more seductive, and everyone on the road is stunned!" The little one quietly asked someone, and the woman was a widow, her husband died of tuberculosis, and her in-laws were not there, so she was alone at home...... I heard that this woman was very good at serving...... Why don't you go over and take a look? ”
