Chapter 57

On the second day, Su Jinshi got up early in the morning, wanting to buy the osmanthus cake made by the widow of the king, Xiaodouzi loves sweets, although Nian Su never said what he likes to eat, Su Jinshi also slowly discovered that Nian Su loves to eat sweets, especially pastries.

When she left the inn, the sky was bright, there were still a few stars in the far east, but there were also pedestrians on the road, Su Jinshi grabbed a person at random and inquired about the location of the widow Wang, and then hurriedly ran over.

She had also passed by this place during the day, but it was an inconspicuous alley, but there was a long queue at this time, Su Jinshi took a look, took a cursory look, and there were dozens of people in front of her.

There was a burst of fragrance wafting from some dark alleys, Su Jinshi suddenly spoke, she looked at others, and she was the same as her, and she put her heart at ease.

She looked at the long line in front of her and sighed, regretting why she didn't get up earlier to reads.

Fortunately, when it was her turn, there were about a dozen osmanthus cakes, Su Jinshi bought five osmanthus cakes in one go, she had just finished paying, but she heard that the people behind her were a little dissatisfied.

Su Jinshi didn't care, and went back with the osmanthus cake happily.

When they returned to the inn, Nian Su and Xiaodouzi were still asleep, so Su Jinshi put the osmanthus cake on the table and went out lightly.

At this time, the sky has brightened a lot, Su Jinshi walked on the street with cheerful steps, there were people selling steamed buns on the street, the steaming heat came out of the steamer, and bursts of fragrance spread all over the streets and alleys.

Su Jinshi couldn't help but buy two white steamed buns, and ate them while walking, but he also felt that they tasted good.

She walked to the bulletin wall in the city, but saw the paper that helped the government solve the case and gave the silver, she was a little moved in her heart, but she also had some doubts.

It happened that a man who looked like a scholar next to him was also watching, so Su Jinshi asked, "Dare to ask Gongzi, is this notice posted by the government?" ”

When the man looked at Su Jin, he saw that it was a girl, and his tone was a little unkind, "Naturally, it was posted by the government, and women don't want to have anything to do with it." ”

Su Jinshi frowned, but he didn't want to argue with him, and continued to ask: "It's true that there will be a reward here?" ”

"Naturally it's true, this notice has been posted here for a month, but it can't be broken, the original reward is only one tael, because no one can break it for a long time, at this time it has risen to ten taels, I look at it but no one can break it!" The scholar sighed and said, only to find that he was talking these words to the woman, and he frowned.

Su Jinshi nodded thoughtfully, and began to look at the notice carefully.

A month ago, a corpse was found in the lake, the body was swollen from the lake, and there were scars on his hands and legs, but the facial expression of the deceased was very peaceful, not like he had been killed.

There were not many words written on the announcement, Su Jinshi read it back and forth a few times, and thought about it, if she wanted to solve the case, she would definitely have to go to the government.

Thinking like this, the sky was already completely bright, and Su Jinshi planned to go back to the inn first to talk about it.

Back at the inn, Nian Su and Xiao Douzi had already gotten up, Xiao Douzi was happily eating those osmanthus cakes, and Nian Su was looking at Xiao Douzi with a smile.

Seeing that Su Jinshi was back, Nian Su supported his chin with his hand, tilted his head and asked, "Did you buy this osmanthus cake?" ”

Su Jinshi sat down with a smile, and when he saw that there was one left on the table, he asked, "Is the osmanthus cake delicious?" ”

Nian Su nodded, "I just took a bite, it's very delicious, you see how happy the little beans are." ”

When Su Jinshi heard this, she immediately became unhappy, this osmanthus cake was specially bought by her for Nian Su to eat! Why did Xiaodouzi eat four by himself?!

After eating one, he reached out and wanted to take it again, but Su Jinshi clapped his hands all of a sudden, frowned, and said, "Your mother didn't eat it, and I don't know how to save some for your mother." ”

Xiaodouzi looked at the osmanthus cake on the table, and then looked at his mother, and immediately gave the osmanthus cake to Nian Su, and said crisply: "Mother eats, Xiaodouzi is already full!" ”

Su Jinshi still felt sorry for those osmanthus cakes in her heart, but most of them fell into Xiaodouzi's stomach, which was obviously what she specially bought for Nian Su;

When Nian Su saw it, he also took the osmanthus cake with a smile, holding the osmanthus cake in one hand and putting it under his mouth with the other, eating it carefully, Su Jinshi looked a little sad.

They have a lot of money on them, but in the long run, it won't allow them to live for a lifetime.

At this time, Su Jinshi remembered the announcement again, so he asked tentatively: "Su Su, I just saw an announcement, saying that if you help the government solve the case, you can get a reward." ”

Nian Su subconsciously shook his head, "No, it's too dangerous to solve a case, haven't you forgotten the last time you were in the Gu Mansion?" ”

Because of Xiaodouzi's presence, Nian Su didn't say everything, but he also strengthened his position.

Su Jinshi naturally understood her worries, but she felt that they needed silver more, and she could hardly live in this ancient period, although she learned to make wine with Su Xin, if they found a place to settle down, they could open a tavern, but at this time, they lived in an inn, so naturally they could not settle down and make a living from winemaking.

Nian Su also understood Su Jinshi's worries, she ate the remaining osmanthus cake, and said to Su Jinshi, "I can take some needlework......

Su Jinshi immediately interrupted Nian Su's words, "No, how can I let you make money to support me alone?" I promise that I will always be careful not to put myself in danger, and if this case is solved, there will be ten taels of silver! ”

Nian Su lowered his head and didn't look at Su Jinshi, but he still refused to compromise.

Su Jinshi sighed, and she said to Xiaodouzi: "Xiaodouzi, can you go outside and ask Xiaoer to send some early?" ”

Xiaodouzi was very happy to eat the osmanthus cake, so he went out happily.

Su Jinshi raised his hand and touched Nian Su's head, and said softly: "I don't have many things, here, I may not have a way to make a living, I don't want to live on you, I may not be able to solve this case, I just want to give it a try." ”

In the past, she couldn't stand Su Jinshi's gentle voice and would obey Su Jinshi, but this time she was extremely determined.

"Jinshi, I really don't want you to be hurt again, I was terrified when I saw Gu Shengyun put a knife on your neck that day, I don't want you to ...... like this again"

Su Jinshi was a little moved in her heart, she thought that Nian Su had always been in a passive state, and she was the only one who worked hard to maintain their relationship.

She stood up and hugged Nian Su into her arms, nephrite was warm and fragrant, Su Jinshi's heart also became soft, and she said softly: "Susu, I want your life to be better, I don't want you to save money every time, and you are reluctant to buy clothes, I don't want you to only eat white steamed buns every time, and you don't have a ...... after eating this meal."

Nian Su's eyes were a little red, and she wrapped her hands around Su Jinshi.

"I promise you, I will protect myself well and not let you worry, okay?" Su Jinshi's tone became more and more gentle.

Nian Su buried his head in her arms and said sullenly: "You promised me, what if you don't protect yourself?" ”

"Then I'll ......" Su Jinshi paused, and said in Nian Su's ear: "How about you deal with it?" ”

Su Jinshi's voice was very low, and he whispered in Nian Su's ear, Nian Su couldn't help but blush, and at this time, the door of the inn was suddenly opened, and both of them were frightened and left each other with lightning speed.

Xiao Douzi came in first, and Xiao Er took some breakfast and put it on the table, which was also some buns and steamed buns and the like.

Su Jinshi thanked him, but sat down and ate casually, the little second was still yesterday's little two, and he didn't leave after delivering breakfast, but asked with a smile: "Have the two guest officers been to the places I said yesterday?" ”

Su Jinshi glanced at Nian Su, saw that her cheeks were still red, and her heart became more and more joyful, she smiled and said: "Naturally, I went to see it, the scenery of the Pavilion is really excellent, and the osmanthus cake of the widow Wang is also a must." ”

Xiao Er looked surprised, but praised him: "The two girls can play," After speaking, he changed his words, and said in a somewhat solemn tone: "It's just that Windy City has not been very peaceful these days, and it is better for the two girls to go out less." ”

Su Jinshi's face sank, and she remembered the notice she saw today, so she asked, "But the person on the notice hurt people again?" ”

When Xiao Er saw Su Jin, he saw the notice, and said bluntly: "This is not just hurting people, in the past few months, several girls have been killed, and the bodies have floated up on the diversion lake a few days after they disappeared, and it has been almost a few years intermittently, but the government can't solve the case, the notice will be changed every other month, but no one can break it." ”

Su Jinshi nodded and said with a smile: "Thank you for telling me, my sister and I will pay attention to it these days." ”

Xiao Er didn't stay any longer, closed the door and left, because Xiaodouzi was present, Nian Su didn't want to ask Su Jinshi about this case.

"Come and eat some, you only ate one osmanthus cake, you won't be full, eat more." Su Jinshi smiled and pulled Nian Su to sit down.

Nian Su had no intention of eating, and he couldn't swallow it for a long time.

Xiaodouzi's eyes rolled slightly, and he saw that the two adults were eating very slowly, so he said directly: "Mother, Aunt Jinshi, I want to go out to play for a while, is it okay?" ”

Nian Su frowned, "Why do you want to go out and play?" Didn't you just hear that big brother say that it's dangerous outside? ”

Xiaodouzi pouted, "Mother, I'm not out of here, I want to play with Xiaoqing for a while......"

"Who is Xiaoqing?" Su Jinshi asked.

"It's the boss's child, I just saw it...... I want to play with him for a while. ”

Xiaodouzi's voice was aggrieved, Nian Su sighed when he heard it, waved his hand and said, "Go play, don't go with people you don't know, you know?" ”

Little Beanzi nodded happily and immediately ran out.

Su Jinshi got up and closed the door, she picked up a bun on the table and stuffed it into Nian Su's hand, "You can eat more, this is a meat bun, it's delicious." ”

Nian Su took the bun and took a bite, but it was a thin skin and big filling, and the soup flowed down the corner of his mouth when he took a bite, Su Jinshi swallowed a mouthful of saliva, thinking that he hadn't eaten meat for a long time, he felt very hungry in his mouth.

Finally waited for the vegetarian to run out, Su Jinshi asked with a smile, "Is it delicious?" ”

Nian Su nodded, Su Jinshi handed another bun to Nian Su, but Nian Su didn't accept it, "You eat, I'm already full." ”

Su Jinshi had already eaten four steamed buns, naturally she couldn't eat them, she forcibly stuffed them into Nian Su's hands, "Eat quickly, I just ate two steamed buns outside, which are also meat buns, but they are delicious, you can eat them quickly!" ”

Nian Su nodded, and then began to eat.
