Chapter 187: Before the Mountain Rain Comes

It's still early, and I've planned to leave the house in the evening.

Cui'er and I sat under the trellises in the yard, each doing what was at hand.

The servant brought me a long table and chairs.

This is still Cui'er's meaning, originally I wanted to lie on the stone table to complete the supplement to the map of the southwest I made.

Cui'er objected repeatedly: "It's already very cold in autumn, so let's move a wooden table." ”

I had no reason to object to her nuances, so I listened to her.

From time to time, I glanced up at Cui'er as she sat next to what seemed to be a pile of cut laundry.

I looked down and drew for a while, feeling my neck sinking, so I walked over to see Cui'er's handiwork.

Cui'er held the aqua blue jacket in her hand and smiled at me: "The slave maid went to the street to see the dresses of the girls in the southwest, but many of them were wearing such clothes, and I thought about making a few for the girl." ”

Her eyes sparkled and said: "The master has asked people to buy too many clothes, and the slave maid has chosen this color for a long time." ”

"The slave knows that the girl doesn't like too bright and eye-catching material."

I looked down at Cui'er's embroidery, as she said before, compared to the sisters in the courtyard of Qibei, she was indeed not the most outstanding, but it took a lot of thought.

The best compliment is, of course, a compliment, I smiled and said: "Your female celebrity is getting better and better, it's hard to work hard along the way, and the yard is also riddled with miscellaneous things, but you can still not delay." ”

Hearing my compliment, Cui'er happily took out a few other pieces of clothing on the side, pulled out one of the moon-white silk satin and said, "This is a silk skirt with a small jacket, and I wear it on the street." ”

She said with disgust: "It's rare for a girl to be willing to wear women's clothes to go out, and this time the skirt that the slave maid has worked so hard to make, you must wear it." ”

After that, Cui'er also said with longing in her eyes: "Wearing it out like this, my girl looks good." ”

My heart warmed, and listening to her words was like my sister making a dress and dressing up my sister. I couldn't help but approach her and laughed, and commented on the pile of things that my brother asked her to buy.

Cui'er talked about the unique patterns on the clothes of girls in the southwest, and gave me examples one by one.

Just as the two of us were talking happily, on the courtyard path, the steward hurriedly came over and saluted, "Miss Xiaoling, the boy next door has just come back." ”

My heart jumped. Quickly put down the clothes in his hand: "Okay, I know." ”

After sending away the steward, I was about to take Cui'er to the East Courtyard, when I suddenly thought of Yun Chu's temperament and hesitated temporarily.

Cui'er saw my hesitation, and asked tentatively, "Is it the slave who rashly followed?" It's going to make your teacher unhappy. ”

I smiled bitterly and said, "He is indeed a strange character, otherwise, I should go and see him alone, anyway, it is close, if he proposes to meet the people in our yard, it is more appropriate to go again." ”

Cui'er nodded and said, "Okay." The slave and maid were under this trellis, and continued to do needlework, waiting for the girl to return. ”

I took a few steps and turned around and said, "After dinner in the evening, I'll take you to the street to visit the night market, I've already said it." ”

I hurriedly arrived at the East Courtyard, and when the nursing home saw that it was me, I didn't stop it.

I went straight into the small building where Yun Chu lived.

There was a boy waiting at the door, and he saw me. hurriedly came up to greet him: "Childe is waiting for you in the study." ”

I went up the wooden steps. The second room in the past is Yun Chu's study.

The small building in the east courtyard is different from the west courtyard in that it is larger.

Entered the study, the strange thing is that I didn't see anyone, I thought back to just now, I heard it right, the boy downstairs did tell me that Yun Chu was waiting for me in the study on the second floor.

He raised his foot and was about to turn back to ask someone. Suddenly, I heard a voice from inside the house: "Xiao Ling'er." ”

I was startled, and when I looked closely, I realized that the sound was coming from behind a screen on the side.

This screen is hidden behind the Duobao Pavilion, and the design is so weird.

I looked around just now and thought there was no one in the house.

Bypassing the screen, I saw a wooden couch behind me, leaning against the north window.

Yun Chu leaned on the couch, looked up at me and smiled, "Just come in and leave." ”

"What else do you say," I replied to him angrily, turning and nodding at the strange design, "who arranged this, and put it like that to block the view, I thought there was no one in this room." ”

"Why, look closely." Yun Chu raised his hand and pointed to the screen channel.

I followed his gesture and looked over, and suddenly discovered the mystery of this screen, people who came in from the outside could not see the movement behind the screen, but the end of the screen looked over, but I could clearly see the people coming in at the door.

I looked at it for a moment and exclaimed, "What a special screen, what kind of material is it made of." ”

"Your subordinates really put a lot of thought into it."

After hearing this, Yun Chu smiled and said: "Xiao Ling'er, didn't you send it to you, what else did my subordinates arrange, they have never collected such a thing at all." ”

"Ah," I said with a surprised look at him, "it's all my brother's fault, I didn't even see so many things when I sent them." "Watching their three wagons unload and pile up in my room, I'm tired of watching." When I talk about that scene in the morning, I feel like my head is big.

I said with some regret: "I didn't even bother to look closely, I cheapened you." "But isn't it," Yun Chu looked at me and smiled so well. Hey, you heard this, why didn't you follow it? I hung my head. What's next? Yun Chu's long eyelashes moved. Generally speaking, this is the case, taking advantage of other people's good things, out of morality and conscience, you have to make up for something. "I'm going to do it." Morality, conscience? Yun Chu raised his eyebrows and looked at me and said, "Yes, pay off your debts, and pay for your life by killing." “

"But," he coughed for a while, a little short of breath, leaned a little, and looked at me with a smile, "It's what you pick and don't want, but I didn't take advantage of it." ”

I glared at him with a slanderous face, and said with a straight face: "You went out in the morning, did it do so for the murder yesterday." ”

Seeing Yun Chu's noncommittal expression, I continued: "In the morning, I asked Cui'er to go to the street to inquire about the news, saying that the corpse was sent to the City Lord's Mansion last night. ”

"But when Cui'er came back, I didn't hear any reaction from the City Lord's Mansion on the street."

"I think it's weird, what do you think?" While speaking, I carefully observed Yun Chu's expression, he was still leaning there with Yi Rong, I suddenly felt a little obstructive, walked a few steps forward and said, "You are in your own place, do you still need to take this Laoshizi?" ”

As I spoke, I noticed that his lips were not very good-looking.

My heart tightened, and I leaned over and asked, "Is there something uncomfortable?" ”

In Qibei, he was treated as a guest by the Liu family, and he took care of him like a national treasure, and now for me, he has traveled all the way to this place of poor mountains and bad waters.

Thinking of this, my heart is sour.

After looking at him in a daze for a few seconds, Yun Chu raised his hand and pulled me over, habitually rubbed my face and said, "It's uncomfortable, I said so many words for a broken screen, and then I talked about the corpse after saying the broken screen." ”

"When you come to me, you talk about these bad things."

The warm breath brushed my ears, and I blushed and retorted, "Then you dare to say that you didn't go to investigate the clues of the murder." ”

"Not really," Yun Chu said as he grabbed my arm, "I went out to see the location of Litong." ”

"What," I said suddenly, "it's not that there is no money in the southwest. ”

"The money bank here is still opened by General Snow Eagle, and even this business has to be robbed?" I don't look good.

In this way, the purpose of Yun Chu's coming to the southwest is actually for this, not at all what I thought, why did I work hard to get here.

For a moment, I felt like a fool for myself, and when I lifted up, I pushed him away and blushed and said in shame: "In this case, I won't delay the young master, and I still have something to do." ”

Holding my arm without moving, I broke free, Yun Chu had already put his head on my shoulder and said in a low voice: "Xiao Ling'er, don't make trouble, I'm very dizzy, can you rest for a while." ”

His hand pressed on my shoulder and didn't let go, leaning on my shoulder and breathing a little unsteadily.

Out of the healer's acumen, and taking advantage of his lack of defense, my hand moved to his wrist, and when I touched it, I was startled.

After hugging each other silently for a while, Yun Chu seemed to be relieved.

I took out the handkerchief in my arms and carefully wiped the cold sweat on his forehead, sighed and said: "I'm nosy, in fact, what are you doing in the southwest, I don't have the right to ask, I tell you to move freely." ”

After a pause, I said with regret, "I won't say this again next time." ”

At dusk, I asked Cui'er to go to the east courtyard to deliver the white fungus porridge I had boiled and a few side dishes.

When Cui'er came back, I grabbed her: "The original plan remains the same, you can follow me to the street for a walk." ”

Out of the alley, a few turns, you will be on the busiest street in the city.

Cui'er and I shuttled through the crowds of the night market, stopping at food stalls, teahouses, and even restaurants.

Of course, under Cui'er's strong insistence, I couldn't drink some wine, which is still a specialty of the southwest, and the result was white, purely for seeing.

On the way back, I kept frowning, Cui'er looked at me frequently, and finally couldn't help but say, "The girl is disappointed? “

I didn't deny it: "Yes, how things have developed, it is a little different from what I expected, I originally thought that according to what I knew about the teacher, he had always done things vigorously. "You've also heard that there hasn't been such a murder in the southwest for many years, but until now, the City Lord's Mansion has not moved at all, which is also incredible."
