Chapter Ninety-Nine: Pride

Zhou An's face changed and he glanced at her. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

Chen's body shrank and lowered his head.

"Sleep." Zhou An got up with his robe and said lightly.

Chen obediently pulled up the futon to cover his body.

"Are you going out again?" Her gaze fell on his back.

Zhou An walked straight out of the room and gently closed the door.

Chen sighed softly, closed his eyes, and fell into a deep sleep.

Beijing suburb teahouse.

In the past few days, the teahouse has welcomed four strange guests, all of whom are young and pretty women, gorgeously dressed and generous. They usually come around the clock and leave around noon. When they came, they sat at a table by the window, and when they left, they rode in a spacious carriage.

They would order tea and snacks every time they came, but almost always they had a lot left. And a few people are quite interesting, always two people sit upright, two people go out, about a cup of tea, in turn.

"See, see?" Shao Yunru couldn't wait to ask Wang Yaxin and He Xurong, who came back from outside.

After Wang Yaxin took a sip of tea slowly, he said, "I see, but there are two women in the cake shop, one is taller and the other is shorter, I don't know which one." ”

He Xurong nodded, "One is older, and the other is younger." ”

Shao Yun got up and pulled Shi Yongyi up, "Let's go, Sister Shi, it's our turn to go out and take a look, I remember the woman's appearance." ”

After the two left, He Xurong looked disdainful, "What do you say a woman who sells cakes has to do with Lord Wei?" ”

Wang Yaxin smiled, "What else can it do?" It's just to accompany Yunru to mess around. Although Master Wei did not explain the reason, he clearly rejected her. Let's not let her toss and toss anymore, vent the fire in her heart, and what if she turns around and cries out of her problem. ”

He Xurong suddenly understood, and smiled and grabbed Wang Yaxin's thin shoulder.

"Yaxin, I sometimes think you are more sensible than Sister Shi, why are you so afraid of her?" She asked openly.

Wang Yaxin hurriedly covered her mouth, looked out, and saw that Shao Shi and the others were gone, so she relaxed a little.

"You can't talk nonsense, you know that Sister Shi's temperament has always been strong, if you want her to hear it, you should scold me again." Wang Ya's face was bitter.

He Xurong glanced at her, "You are weak!" You are the daughter of the head of the ministry, she is just the daughter of a cook, what are you afraid of her doing? ”

Wang Ya said in her heart, "It's not that I'm afraid, but let's make a mess of harmony, and it's our Yun Yong Yaxu who will hurt us in the end." ”

He Xurong was not convinced, "To endure is to conniv!" ”

Wang Yaxin smiled and said nothing.

He Xurong rolled her eyes and lowered her voice again, "Oh, my father told me about the past of the Shi family, do you want to hear it?" ”

When Wang Yaxin heard "The Past of the Shi Family", her eyes lit up, and she said continuously, "Well, I also heard, is it Sister Shi and her mother's ......?"

He Xurong nodded hurriedly, and the two little heads touched each other and muttered together.

Outside the teahouse, Shao Yunru and Shi Yongyi hid behind the plane tree, looking at the plum cake shop from a distance.

"It's ordinary, but it's just a little taller than me, what's there?" Shao Yun is sour.

"You mean that the tall one is what Zhou Anze said-" Shi Yongyi couldn't remember the name for a while.

Shao Yunru nodded, her eyes staring at Shen Yueran, who was busy in the cake shop.

"Yes, it's her, the woman I saw that night was her, Shen Yueran." Shao Yunru said with hatred.

Shi Yongyi wondered.

"It's strange, what did Master Wei do when he took away a woman who made cakes during the Yuan Lantern Festival, could it really be an investigation? But Master Wei has always been responsible for homicide cases, and looking at the woman's calm expression, she doesn't look like she was involved in a murder case. She was puzzled.

Shao Yunru thought about it, but he couldn't think of a reason.

"Whatever, let's keep an eye on her first. Stalking at this matter consumes patience. I heard from my brother that in order to catch a murderer, Brother Yi once lay in ambush in the grass for three days and three nights without moving. Brother Yi has patience, and Yunru also has it, so that Brother Yi can look down on Yunru. Shao Yunru raised his chin, his eyes were full of stubbornness.

Shen Yueran was busy in the cake shop, and just made a pot of shortbread, a woman's voice came.

"Shopkeeper Shen, I'm busy."

Shen Yueran looked up, it was Mei Cailian.

"Sister Cailian, why are you here?" Shen Yueran was overjoyed, and went out of the shop to greet her.

It was the end of the first month, the temperature had risen, and Mei Cailian no longer wore cotton clothes, but wore a thick cotton hat, probably to cover the scar on her forehead, which looked a little strange.

Mei Cailian smiled, "I should have come a long time ago, but there were many things in the first month, so I have been rushing to today." Don't worry about me, go get busy. ”

Shen Yueran looked at the bell in the teahouse and said, "It's okay, when it's just now, there are not many guests here, I asked Lu Su to keep an eye on the shop, and Sister Cailian will sit at home with me for a while." ”

Mei Cailian agreed, Shen Yueran called Lu Su, and the two left.

Lu Su sat in the cake shop for a while, and suddenly felt that the darkness in front of her eyes was overwhelming, and she looked up to see the four women standing side by side in front of the cake shop, blocking the already not very bright light.

"Do you want to buy bread?" Lu Su didn't have much confidence in asking.

Although several women have different forms, they know at a glance that they are the daughters of rich and noble families. Four thousand gold came together to buy cakes, which is a bit strange.

"You made this bread?" A slightly darker-skinned woman asked.

Midori Su nodded first, then shook her head.

"I will make this bread this day, and I will make it." Midori replied earnestly.

"Haha-"

The four women were amused by what Lu Su said, some laughed, and some hid their faces.

"Fu Kuo, Fu Kuo...... " The slightly darker-skinned woman grimaced, learning Lu Su's words.

The green su is full of redness.

"Do you buy it or not?" She was a little angry.

"Buy." An older woman asked, "You didn't make this bread, but who?" ”

"My sister did." Midori replied.

"Oh, your sister, do you have a brother-in-law?" The slightly darker-skinned woman asked.

Green Su's face was even redder.

"Wood (no) there is wood (no). Do you buy bread or not? "Lu Su was a little displeased.

"Buy it." A soft voice said, "But I heard that your sister has been involved in a murder recently, so we can't buy cakes made by such a person." ”

"Fu (Hu) instigated (said)!" Lu Su was immediately furious.

"Lord Gray has long annoyed (returned) our innocence! Don't listen to those people chewing on the root of the tongue, the death of the oil mill child has nothing to do with us! Lu Su explained in a loud voice.

It's been a long time since the matter of the oil mill children, how can anyone still mention it, it's true!

Green Su was angry.

"Lord Gray?" The last woman with a slightly white complexion asked, "Are you talking about Lord Wei Yiwei, the detective of Bianjing Mansion?" ”

"Four (yes), it's him, the gray lord who treats me and my sister really well." Green Su yearns for it.

The slightly white-skinned woman changed her complexion, and the slightly darker-skinned woman snorted, "Master Wei is in an important position, and it is within your duty to arrest the murderer, what do you have to be proud of?" ”

Lu Su couldn't stand such an agitation.

She widened her eyes and said, "Of course I'll knock (proud) good (proud)!" Has Lord Gray been to your house, has Lord Gray eaten your sister's cooking, has Lord Gray helped your sister cook rice, Lord Gray has helped your sister ......"

Before she finished speaking, the slightly pale woman burst into tears.

I saw her push away the three girls beside her with a "wow", hide her face and run away. (To be continued.) )
