Chapter 186: Hold your ground, wait
When I first arrived in the southwest, the courtyard I lived in was like my home here.
When I got up in the morning, I took Cui'er around the yard while talking.
Looking out at the courtyard, I couldn't estimate the size of the area.
It was only when I was in it that I realized that the area of the courtyard was not inferior to the ones I had seen before.
The southwest region has a warmer and humid climate than the north.
The flowers and trees in this yard are becoming more and more lush and growing happily.
I glanced intently at the newly built fence across the courtyard from east to west, and Cui'er tugged at my sleeve beside me.
I heard a rush of footsteps in my ears, and when I looked at it, it was still the little guy who couldn't speak.
Early in the morning, what did he do when he ran over in a panic?
I frowned, and Cui'er had already taken a step forward to meet me.
The little guy ran over and stood in front of me in a moment, gesturing to look at me.
Cui'er understood what he meant, turned back to me and smiled, "Girl, the people arranged by the Lord are here to bring you something." â
I looked at Cui'er in amazement, and it took a few seconds for me to react and say, "Send something? What do you mean, do you mean that someone from Qibei sent something used in the yard? "How can it," Cui'er shook her head and denied, "It's something I bought from a few nearby cities." â
"Qibei here, after all, it is not a day or two to get here, the Lord is worried that you will be bored here, so a few people who went with the slave maid were ordered by the Lord to search for some delicious food and fun in this neighboring small city."
I looked at Cui'er speechlessly, and it took a long time before I said, "It's just a small stay for a while, is it necessary to engage in such a big battle?"
After thinking about it, my senior brother is a very rich master, so if he wants to give it away, he will take it, anyway, I won't live in this yard for long, and I can leave my things here when I walk horizontally.
A cage for clothes, a delicate embroidered screen. There are also unnamed birds with beautiful feathers, chirping, carved furniture, all kinds of pastries in the southwest, and even paintings by famous painters in this area.
I watched in amazement as the steward instructed his men to unload the stuff that had filled three wagons.
An empty house. After a while, it was crowded to the point that there was no place to stay.
Is this the rhythm of preparing the dowry?
I shook my head repeatedly. Too much, too much.
You can't make it like that if you have money!
Things were carried in an endless stream, and the stewards were busy directing the subordinates to carefully handle the large pile of things.
Cui'er stood beside me, and her eyes widened when she saw the room full of things squeezing the huge space to the brim.
She watched it for a long time before she squeezed out a sentence. He said, "These people may have misunderstood what the Lord meant." â
But now that I've bought it, what should I do with it?
I frowned at the crowded household items in the room, and took a breath and said to the group of people who had been busy for a while: "You send these to the East Courtyard." "With so much put, Cui'er and I can't even take a step."
I tapped and clicked, and in an instant they took half of the items and sent them to the courtyard to the east.
Cui'er and I reorganized it, and it was still full. "Cui'er, do you think these things are given away for nothing?" I glanced at the contents of the room and asked Cui'er. "I guess so." Cui'er looked thoughtful when she saw me. There are some uncertainties. "Let's take it as such, but this is not our yard, it's just a temporary stay, I want to sell some when I leave, and exchange it for silver."
I dismissed all the thoughts I had left behind when I left, and thought it would be better to deal with it like this.
Speaking of silver. I just remembered the money that so many heavenly soldiers sent in two ways.
Anyway, where did all the money go?
When Cui'er heard this, she laughed in my ear and said, "The girl is too distracted, the cart of silver has been deposited in the money bank in ZĂ i City." "Didn't you just arrive, didn't you have time to ask in detail for a while?" I glanced at her in embarrassment and couldn't help but chuckle. "It can't be a semicolon for Litong, right?" "No, it's a money village opened by the southwest region, and it has nothing to do with Li Tong, speaking of which, you still know that it is a money village opened by the city lord of the southwest region, and the style of operation is almost modeled after that of Qibei."
In this way, Xueying must have sent someone, or himself, to Qibei to investigate.
Although I only saw a short section on the street yesterday, I keenly noticed that some of the street scenes and house layouts here are a little similar to the snow country in the past, but the snow country is obviously not as convenient as the money village that is convenient for access.
It seems that it is to take the idea of Qibei, integrate it, and absorb the strengths of other families, and Xueying is indeed operating in the southwest with his heart. "Cui'er, since you arrived two days earlier than me, can you sue me, where is the City Lord's Mansion?"
I'm more curious about this question, and it's only been a few days since I went to meet Snow Eagle. "The slave hasn't been to the street yet, and I'm going to cook later, so the slave and maid go out to find out the news, and you'll know when you come back." Cui'er knew what I was thinking, and replied to me with a smile. "Remember, I wear my ears when I go out." I looked at the furnishings in the room and turned to tell Cui'er. "If you buy vegetables, you have to go to the market," I put away my laughing expression and said with a straight face, "When we came yesterday, there was a scene at the gate of the southwest city, and when you buy vegetables and go to the street, you should pay special attention to the discussion, and when you come back, tell me about it." â
Cui'er looked at me puzzled, since I arrived in Qibei to be with her, whether it was in the yard or on the street, this is the first time I directly asked her to inquire about the news.
Cui'er straightened her waist and replied simply: "The slave knows." â
I thought about it left and right, and felt that since the purpose was so clear, Cui'er was ordered to investigate, so it was better to tell her the truth directly, so that she could be targeted when she paid attention to the discussion on the street.
I told the truth: "Yesterday at the gate of the city in the southwest, fishermen by the river fishermen fished up a corpse in the river. â
As soon as the words fell, Cui'er covered her mouth and was startled, and said with a white face: "Ah." "I'm far away, and I don't look very closely, but judging by my size, it seems to be a woman." "When you go out on the street today, you should be extra careful when you hear this kind of related news."
After a few words, I waved my hand, and Cui'er immediately went out to the street
The sun rose, looking at the very sunny weather, I walked out of the small building and stayed in the courtyard to read, and after a while, the steward hurriedly came to me. "What's the matter?" I saw him trotting along the garden path, but there was no one behind him who was delivering things. "The steward in the courtyard next door has already accepted what the girl sent." He bowed down and replied to me clearly. "Oh, what did that boy say, but I have something for you to bring here." My heart was slightly relieved, and I asked. "The steward said thank you, girl, but I didn't see the boy you mentioned."
I coughed lightly, covered my mouth and said, "Mo hasn't gotten up yet." "The housekeeper said that the boy went out early in the morning."
I looked at him in a daze, and it took me a long time to reply: "I know, you go down." â
I put down my book and sat down by the trellis, and I began to feel depressed.
Qibei to the southwest was in a hurry, and he had almost crossed the first few days before catching up with my footsteps.
This has just arrived in the southwest, and the tired people don't know that Ontario will be raised for two days, so they hurriedly went out.
What is good about him, I sighed deeply.
If you know it, don't deliberately mention any space to him, freedom, if you live in a courtyard, it is estimated that there is any movement that I can control better, unlike now, there are small doors on both sides, not to mention the entry and exit of one person, it is the entry and exit of a group of people, and the other side can't listen to the movement.
I closed my eyes and muttered to myself: Is this a shot in the foot?
After more than an hour, Cui'er came back from the street, carrying a basket of vegetables, and the expression on her face looked a little confident.
Before I could stand up, she walked over quickly. "Girl, the slave is back." Cui'er breathed a sigh of relief. "You're right, the streets and alleys are talking about this matter, saying that there hasn't been a murder in the southwest for a long time." "Go on." "Girl, the slave maid heard from the people on the street that the body found in the river was indeed a woman." "I had already guessed this, after all, I was nearby at the time, and I saw it with my own eyes." I glanced at Cui'er and smiled knowingly. "The corpse was delivered to the City Lord's Mansion yesterday by the car guarding the city." I frowned in disappointment as I didn't hear the crucial news.
After listening to what I said, Cui'er hurriedly added: "The girl asked the slave maid to inquire about the city lord's mansion, and she has already inquired, and it is in the northern suburbs of this city that it is some distance away. â
"It's still a bit of a way from here." "What you just said, I generally knew about it yesterday, but I don't know that now that the night has passed, there is news from the City Lord's Mansion?" "It's not yet, but the slaves and maids will go out every day, so don't worry about not being able to find out the news."
"Originally, I asked you to go, I planned to get up early to meet the son next door, but he went out, I will wait a while, if he doesn't come back in the evening, I will take you to the night market and find a place to sit." I thought about it for a moment and made a decision.
In any case, once the Snow Eagle side is activated and intervenes in the investigation of the murder, I will pay attention to the streets, and I believe that there will be a movement soon.
"Totaling the whole day today, I think there should be new news from the City Lord's Mansion." I narrowed my eyes and said.
