Chapter 62
The next day, Su Jinshi woke up naturally from a sleep, and after getting up, he was refreshed and ready to go to breakfast, and he happened to meet Nian Su at the door.
Nian Su was still wearing a gray cloth dress, and there was also a very simple hairpin on her head, Su Jinshi looked at her outfit and frowned slightly, but soon she took Nian Su's hand and said with a smile: "Let's go eat together." ”
Nian Su nodded, took Xiaodouzi's hand and walked away.
When they arrived at the dining room, the Tang brothers and sisters had not yet gotten up, but Lu Ning was eating first.
Seeing Lu Ning eating leisurely, Su Jinshi was slightly surprised, this Lu Ning was nominally Tang Mingze's entourage, but it seemed a little strange at this time.
As far as Su Jinshi knew, the concept of master and servant in ancient times was very deep, if it weren't for Tang Mingze's more openness, it would be that Lu Ning's identity was not simple, and Tang Mingze and Tang Yaxin were protecting his identity.
And the identities of Tang Mingze and Tang Yaxin are obviously not simple......
Su Jinshi's heart turned a thousand times, but there was no trace on her face, she added vegetables to Nian Su and Xiaodouzi as usual, and she was happy to eat herself.
After a while, Tang Mingze and Tang Yaxin came over, both of them were a little embarrassed, and the two brothers and sisters didn't care that Lu Ning was already sitting and eating, so they did it.
Lu Ning has been sitting silently after eating, Su Jinshi observed him with his spare eyes, but told him to sit upright, and the dishes and chopsticks in front of him were also placed extremely neatly.
She kept an eye on her, but didn't ask anything.
After breakfast, Su Jinshi said, "Let's go to the victim's house today and take a look, maybe there will be clues." ”
Tang Mingze nodded indifferently, but Tang Yaxin did not speak, but his expression was unwilling.
Su Jinshi didn't ask anything, she smiled, and left with Nian Su, "Let's go back and sort it out first." ”
Tang Mingze didn't speak, Tang Yaxin wanted to go with Su Jinshi, but she received Tang Mingze's eyes, so she could only stay with a grievance.
Walking out of the living room, Nian Su asked in a low voice: "Jinshi, this Tang family brother and sister doesn't seem to be simple, let's ......"
Nian Su's words were not finished, but Su Jinshi understood the meaning of her words.
A smile tugged at the corner of her lips, as if she was curious and excited, and she said, "Let's see, although they have secrets, they don't look like bad people. ”
"Everyone has secrets, we are just a cooperative relationship, if this case is solved, we will disperse, and I will not take the initiative to explore their secrets." Su Jinshi reassured, although she said this, she had a rough guess about their identity.
When Nian Su turned his head to look at Su Jin, he saw that her face was dyed with morning light, and in the golden light, it looked particularly dazzling.
She pursed her lips and said, "Do you have any secrets?" ”
Su Jinshi was stunned, she looked at Nian Su, she lowered her head to look at the ground, and walked slowly with her footsteps, so small and cute.
Su Jinshi sighed, her little daughter-in-law was too unconfident, but she would slowly let her have confidence in herself.
"My secret, you will know it in the future~" Su Jinshi said with a smile, in the sun, her eyes were extremely clear, and Nian Sufang fell into her eyes as soon as she raised her head.
So bright, so dazzling.
The corners of Nian Su's mouth rose, and he couldn't help but smile, "Okay." ”
**
In the afternoon, Su Jin Shinian Su and the Tang family brothers and sisters came to the deceased Min's maiden house together.
Min is a well-known widow in the city, not only soft in appearance and gentle voice, but also in excellent figure, her husband died not long after marriage, and her mother-in-law did not let her remarry, so she has been detained at home.
Min's mother has passed away, and there is only one father Min Chao, an older brother Min Jie, and a sister-in-law Kong.
When the group arrived at Min's mother's house, Min Chao was the only one in the family.
Min Chao was a little panicked when he saw a stranger suddenly coming to his house, and he stood up a little tremblingly, "Who are you?" ”
Tang Mingze briefly said their intentions, but he didn't expect Min Chao to take a broom and want to drive Su Jinshi and the others out!
"You go! It's all you who hurt my family's spring flowers! Min Chao shouted as he drove them away with a broom.
Tang Mingze was scolded a little inexplicably, but Tang Yaxin beside him was furious, "I said what happened to you old man, my brother said it so clearly...... Why are you still driving us away? We're here to investigate, and we're here to find the killer! ”
Because Tang Yaxin's voice was a little loud, it alarmed the neighbors, and some people came to watch.
Min Chao saw that there were more and more people, and he became more and more ruthless, and he also scolded some unpopular words in his mouth.
Su Jinshi and the others had to leave, and on the way back, Tang Yaxin kept complaining about Min Chao's actions, but Su Jinshi and Tang Mingze didn't say anything, their expressions were a little stern.
Nian Su was also silent and did not speak, she looked back at Min Chao's home from time to time, and only felt that his reaction was too strange.
A few people did not get any news from Min Chao, so they went to Min's in-law's house, Min was a widow and had no children, only Min's mother-in-law Jiang cleaned alone at home.
Min's mother-in-law's home is simple, and because of Min's death, some white silk is also hung, but there is no sadness in this family at all, and Jiang is still humming an out-of-tune song while sweeping the floor.
Su Jinshi and the others stood at the door for a while before entering the house, Jiang Shi saw that there were suddenly so many people from the house, and then looked at the man who looked up in brocade clothes and jade belts, and said angrily:
"Min Chunhua is dead, don't come here to find her again!"
After Jiang finished speaking, he continued to clean up, and muttered in his mouth: "It's not safe to live even if you're dead, and you've got a peach blossom debt, and you're coming to the door!" ”
Su Jinshi frowned, she looked around the house, it was very simple, similar to Da Niu's house, although it was simple, it was also complete, and it was also cleaned up.
She looked at the Jiang family again, but saw that there were still some stains on her clothes that had not been washed, Su Jinshi raised her eyebrows and did not speak.
"Jiang, what kind of person is Min in your eyes?" Su Jinshi asked casually.
Jiang Shi was stunned, and said a little unnaturally: "She? She is watery Yanghua, and has had relationships with many men, I have been turning a blind eye, and now she is retribution for her own death! I don't know what to do outside every day, and I don't do housework! ”
Su Jinshi nodded and said with a smile: "In this way, it has been hard for you all these years." ”
Jiang Shi was stunned again, her face was a little embarrassed, she said haha: "This day has passed, and I will be the only one left in this family in the future." ”
Su Jinshi comforted a few words and stopped talking.
Out of Min's mother-in-law's house, Su Jinshi took Nian Su to the neighborhood, but found a very interesting phenomenon, this Min family is completely two people in the eyes of the neighbors and in the eyes of the Jiang family.
A meaningful smile appeared at the corner of Su Jinshi's mouth, Tang Mingze on the side looked at Su Jinshi's actions and did not speak, and Lu Ning also watched her run around with interest, only Tang Yaxin felt very puzzled.
When she came back, Tang Mingze didn't ask her why she did this, but said with a smile: "Let's go eat, I've been busy for a long time, and I'm tired." ”
Su Jinshi nodded, took Nian Su's hand and followed.
Su Jinshi sorted out the clues she had just gotten while walking, and she asked Jiang's family, and at the same time asked about five neighbors on the left and right, but found that the Min family in Jiang's eyes was a lazy person with water-based poplars, but in the eyes of the neighbors, the Min family was a person who kept to himself and lived diligently at home.
There must be someone among these people who is talking, but there is also a possibility that the Min family is disguised too well.
After thinking about it all the way, Su Jinshi didn't come up with any conclusions, and several people came to the largest restaurant in Windy City and found a seat.
Su Jinshi sat down and found that she had come to such a place, she looked at Nian Su beside her, and saw that she was a little uneasy, so she touched her hand comfortingly and gave her a stable look.
After a while, the dishes came up, Tang Mingze, as the host, moved his chopsticks, and Su Jinshi and Nian Su also ate.
"Jinshi, why did you ask Jiang Shi such a question? And he went to the neighbor's house to ask questions, why is that? Tang Yaxin ate a few bites of food, and then asked a little impatiently.
Su Jinshi smiled and said, "I just want to know what kind of person this Min is." ”
"So, do you get the results?" Tang Mingze raised his eyebrows and asked.
There was a cunning hint in his eyes, Su Jinshi understood what he meant, rolled his eyes at him, and said, "If you want to know, go and ask yourself." ”
Tang Mingze didn't mind, he laughed in a low voice, didn't speak, he looked at Lu Ning next to him, Lu Ning received his meaning, although he was a little reluctant on his face, he still said: "The Jiang family is lying, but it doesn't mean that the Min family is like the neighbor's mouth." ”
The smile on the corner of Su Jinshi's mouth deepened, she didn't speak, she sandwiched a piece of meat for Nian Su, and said with a smile: "Eat more." ”
Tang Yaxin saw that these people were selling Guanzi like this, and she was a little angry in her heart, she put down her chopsticks heavily, "Don't eat it!" If you don't tell me, you will leave me and Nian Su not know what happened, how can we solve the case together! ”
Tang Mingze held his forehead, there was no way to take this sister, but he pointed his head at Nian Su, "Does Miss Nian know what we just said?" ”
Nian Su didn't expect Tang Mingze to ask herself, she was stunned, but nodded, "You can guess." ”
Tang Yaxin completely stopped, she threw her head to the side, and whispered: "Even Jinshi doesn't face me, you people are too bad!" ”
Su Jinshi looked at Tang Yaxin with some tears in his eyes, and also put down the dishes and chopsticks.
Tang Mingze sighed and said softly: "Good, I'll go back and tell you later, is it okay to eat obediently now?" ”
Tang Yaxin turned her head to look at him sideways and asked uncertainly, "Really?" ”
Tang Mingze nodded naturally, and he said with a smile, "Let Lu Ning talk to you." ”
Tang Yaxin pursed her mouth, picked up the chopsticks, and continued to eat, but muttered in a low voice: "It's Lu Ning again, I don't want him to explain it to me......"
When Su Jinshi heard this, she couldn't help laughing, she secretly looked at Lu Ning, thinking that he also heard this, and his face was a little helpless.
The meal was quickly finished, and several people went back to Gu's house and entered their respective rooms, Su Jinshi slipped into Nian Su's room again, and when he saw that she was sewing clothes, he frowned again, "Why are you making clothes again?" ”
She took away the clothes in Nian Su's hand, gently rubbed her eyes, and whispered, "Don't make clothes in the future, okay?" ”
Nian Su suddenly laughed, when she raised her eyes to look at Su Jin, her heart warmed, "Actually, this dress is made for you, it has been made for several days, but it has not been completed, and now it is almost done, when it is done, can you put it on?" ”
Nian Su tilted her head to look at her, her clear eyes were full of tenderness, Su Jinshi's heart softened, she lowered her head and kissed her forehead, leaned into her ear and whispered, "Okay, I'll wear it every day in the future, okay?" ”
Nian Su laughed, her voice was like the sound of a spring in a mountain stream, clear and pleasant, Su Jinshi couldn't help but hold her into his arms, "Na, if you want to help me make clothes in the future, help me make them, but you can't sit too long every day, otherwise it's not good for your eyes." ”
Nian Su obediently leaned on Su Jinshi's shoulder and whispered "um", and then she said, "I didn't do it for long, and you came soon after picking it up." ”
Su Jinshi's heart now seems to have been soaked in honey, and the tenderness in his heart seems to be overflowing.
"By the way, I remember, the lantern festival in this Windy City is about to start, let's go out tonight, okay?" Su Jinshi tilted his head sideways and looked at Nian Su.
Nian Su thought that this Windy City was not at peace now, and subconsciously wanted to refuse, but he didn't want to disturb Su Jinshi's interest, so he nodded.
Su Jinshi saw that Nian Su agreed, and immediately said happily: "Then let's tidy up and let's go, it's getting dark this day, when will we watch the lantern festival!" ”
"What about Little Bean?" Nian Su asked.
Su Jinshi frowned, she forgot that there was such a small oil bottle, she didn't want to take Xiaodouzi with her, after all, there were many people in this lantern fair, and Xiaodouzi was a child, if it was lost, it would be bad, and ......
She wants to be alone with Niansu, alone!
With Little Bean, she couldn't help it at all...... What to do with the Nian Su.
"Su Su, I think it's ......" Su Jinshi paused and asked tentatively, "Why don't we take Xiaodouzi with us?" ”
Nian Su frowned, and just wanted to speak, but heard Su Jinshi say: "You see that there are many people in this lantern fair, and Xiaodouzi is out of character, if you are careless and get lost, how can it be good?" Besides, I want to be alone with you......"
Speaking of the back, Su Jinshi was coquettish to Nian Su, she knew that the most unbearable thing for Nian Su was her coquettishness.
Sure enough, as soon as Nian Su saw Su Jinshi like this, his heart softened, but he still said: "If Xiaodouzi comes back and can't see me, he will definitely panic." ”
Su Jinshi hurriedly said: "I have already inquired, Xiaodouzi and the child of the housekeeper in the Gu Mansion are playing very well, and now they are playing, I have asked someone to bring a message to the housekeeper, and Xiaodouzi knows that the two of us have gone out together." ”
When Nian Su heard this, he immediately turned his head to look at Su Jinshi, frowned and said, "It seems that you have planned it a long time ago." ”
Su Jinshi saw that Nian Su's expression was wrong, and immediately apologized obediently: "I'm sorry, I just want to be alone with you for a while, you see that we have been out these days, when have I been alone with you?" ”
Nian Su also wanted to be alone with Su Jinshi in his heart, but there have been a lot of things that have happened recently, and Xiaodouzi has always been by his side, so he can't find time to be alone.
She sighed and compromised: "Okay, I'll go out with you, it's just that we're going to come back as much as possible, I'm a little worried about Xiaodouzi's ......"
Su Jinshi nodded like pounding garlic, pulled Nian Su up, and went to the wardrobe to look for Nian Su's clothes, looked around, and found that it was either gray cloth clothes or gray blue clothes, and the only one with a brighter color was a water green dress.
Su Jinshi sighed and took out the aqua green clothes, "Susu, are you okay with this dress today?" ”
Nian Su frowned when she saw the dress, and she sighed, "No, just wear this." ”
Su Jinshi was disappointed in her heart, she seemed to have never seen Nian Su wear this dress, in her impression, Nian Su always wore gray clothes, Nian Su was small, although it was not ugly to wear, but it also lacked an aura.
She saw that Tang Yaxin was wearing bright and beautiful every day, but her own Su Su could only wear such simple clothes, so she felt that Nian Su had suffered with her.
Su Jinshi reluctantly held the clothes on Nian Su's body and gestured, "You just wear it, you haven't worn this dress, I think this dress looks good, you will definitely look better if you wear it!" ”
Nian Su sighed, her expression became a little indifferent, and she whispered, "This dress was left to me by Da Niu." ”
Su Jinshi's smile froze on her face, a little overwhelmed, and the clothes in her hands became a little hot, she smiled reluctantly and put the clothes back.
Nian Su's expression was a little different when she saw Su Jin, she said: "After I got married to Da Niu, he took me to the store to buy this dress. ”
Nian Su didn't notice Su Jinshi's expression, she could still remember her mood and Da Niu's expression at that time.
After thinking for a while, Nian Su sighed, and when she looked at Su Jin, she saw that her expression was a little uncomfortable, and she couldn't help asking, "What's wrong with you?" ”
Su Jinshi didn't speak, and grabbed Nian Su's hand a little angrily and walked out, Nian Su was a little inexplicable in Su Jinshi's anger.
It wasn't until Su Jinshi took her to a store that sold finished clothes that she had some reactions, and she couldn't help but want to laugh when she watched Su Jinshi look left and right to pick out clothes for her.
Nian Su stood quietly on the side and didn't speak, Su Jinshi was seriously picking out clothes for Nian Su, she looked at it for a while, and then a woman came over and asked with a smile, "The girl wants to buy clothes?" ”
Su Jinshi didn't answer the woman, just looked at the clothes in the store, looked at it for a while, but saw a water-blue dress, her eyes lit up, "Can you help me take that dress down?" ”
When the woman heard this, she smiled and said, "Girl, this dress is the best sold in our store, and the material is excellent." ”
Su Jinshi didn't care about her, she walked up to Nian Su with her clothes, her face was still a little unhappy, but she still said, "You go and try it." ”
Nian Su took the clothes, couldn't help but smile, and whispered, "Okay." ”
When Nian Su changed clothes, Su Jinshi was still looking at the clothes in this store, and after looking at it for a while, he felt that it was not as good as that dress.
After a while, Nian Su walked out, his face a little ruddy.
Su Jinshi looked at her, but saw her in a water-blue skirt standing under the yellowish light, because it was a bandeau skirt, the collarbone was particularly obvious, her skin was particularly reflected by the light, and she had a shy smile on her face, just so, Su Jinshi couldn't take her eyes off.
The proprietress is also good at business, and when she saw that Nian Su was wearing it so well, she walked over with a smile and re-coiled Nian Su's bun for her a slightly complicated one, but it was more suitable for this skirt.
When Su Jinshi saw this, he asked happily, "How much does this dress cost?" ”
The woman smiled and said earnestly, "The original price is two taels of silver, and I see that the two girls are not locals, so I will give you a cheaper price, one tael or eight cents!" ”
As soon as Nian Su heard that it was so expensive, he immediately walked down to Su Jinshi's side, shook his head and wanted to refuse, but was stopped by Su Jinshi.
Su Jinshi took out the silver from his arms, gave it directly to the proprietress and said with a smile: "Let's see if this silver is enough." ”
The woman smiled when she got the money, and said, "Two girls, let's go!" Next time! ”
Su Jinshi took Nian Su's hand and was about to leave, but he saw a noble lady at the door, the woman's eyes were bewitching, with a sense of evil spirit, but when she saw Su Jin, she smiled, "Don't come unharmed." ”
Su Jinshi looked at her a little inexplicably, and wanted to ask her why she said this, but saw that she entered the store without looking back.
Nian Su obviously saw the noble lady as well, she stared at it for a while, and asked, "Jinshi, where does that woman seem to have seen it?" ”
Su Jinshi glanced back at the woman a few more times, and really felt familiar, but he couldn't remember where he had seen it.
Walking out of the store, the two of them didn't take it to heart, they walked around the street casually, Nian Su put on the clothes Su Jinshi bought, and Su Jinshi was very happy.
Because it was a waiting, there were a lot of men and women on the street, and there were also many small stalls on the street, Su Jinshi pulled Nian Su to a stall selling jewelry, and the stall was set up by a young man, and when he saw someone coming, he said very enthusiastically: "Two girls, take a look!" I've got a bargain here! ”
Su Jinshi rummaged through and found a jasper hairpin, although it was not a real jasper, but the color was not bad, she picked it up and brought it to Nian Su, which happened to match her aqua blue skirt.
"How much does this hairpin cost?" Su Jinshi asked with a smile.
"The girl has a good eye, the color of this hairpin is better than that of ordinary hairpins, and the price is naturally more expensive." The young man said with a smile.
"Five taels of silver." The guy stretched out a hand and said directly.
Su Jinshi frowned, "Why is it so expensive, if it's one or two, I'll buy it." ”
After speaking, she put down the hairpin and left, and just after walking a few steps, someone stopped her, "Girl, please stay." ”
Su Jinshi looked back, but it was the noble lady she had just met in the store, she frowned, and asked, "When?" ”
The noble lady waved her hand, and the little maid behind her gave the things to Su Jinshi, "I see that the two girls are very close to each other, so I will give them to you." ”
Under the faint yellow light, the noble lady's eyebrows and eyes were a little blurred, and there was a sudden uproar around her, Su Jinshi saw that the woman's mouth moved, and she seemed to be saying something, but she couldn't hear it, she wanted to ask, but saw that she had already turned around and left.
Su Jinshi opened the thing wrapped in a water-pink handkerchief in his hand, but it was the jewelry on Fang Cai's small stall, among which was the jasper hairpin.
She was puzzled, and just wanted to ask, but found that the woman had disappeared into the crowd.
