CHAPTER XVII
Zhao's expression made Su Jinshi a little confused, but she didn't take it to heart, she obediently washed the dishes, and helped make dinner, after eating, Su Xin taught her to make wine again, this time the teaching was more serious than before, Su Jinshi learned quickly, and learned it in a while.
She showed her results to Su Xin, and Su Xin nodded and praised again and again, and said with some emotion: "Jinshi is smart, he learned it so quickly." ”
Hearing Su Xin's praise, Su Jinshi was a little flattered, she smiled happily, "It's rare to hear my father praise me, hehe." ”
Su Xin patted Su Jinshi on the shoulder, and said a little seriously: "Our family is not bad!" ”
"Then you used to scold me all the time." Su Jinshi pursed her lips, but her eyes were full of smiles, she enjoyed this feeling very much, this feeling of being loved and valued by her family.
"Isn't this because you were always disobedient before, and besides, you jumped out like you in the past, and your mother and I were worried that you wouldn't be able to get married!" Su Xin said with a smile, the beard at the corner of his mouth was curled, very cute.
"Then you're not worried that I won't be able to get married now?" Su Jinshi asked with a smile.
Su Xin's expression paused, and after a while, he looked away, and said a little unnaturally: "Now, let's go with the flow." ”
Su Jinshi was a little puzzled in his heart, there was something wrong with Su Xin and Zhao's expressions, especially when talking about her marriage, there seemed to be something hidden from her.
The father and daughter said a few more words, Su Xin went back to his room, Su Jinshi tidied up her things, she looked at the sky, the night sky was not clear tonight, and the clouds were churning in the sky, blocking all the stars and moons behind her.
Su Jinshi took a cool ride in the courtyard for a while, then went into the house to sleep, and after a simple freshening up, she lay on the bed thinking about what happened today, and only felt like a dream.
She never dared to imagine that she would one day see a corpse, nor that she would encounter a murder, but there was a stirring in her body, as if the excitement hidden deep in her heart was being awakened.
She wanted to track it down.
Thinking about it, she fell asleep, this night she didn't sleep peacefully, she could always dream of Wang Youhan's corpse, the blurred appearance of flesh and blood made her wake up from her dreams repeatedly, and when it was time, she finally couldn't sleep again.
Su Jinshi woke up, it was still dark outside, Zhao and Sun had already gotten up to make breakfast, she sat on the bed and listened to the movement outside, but what appeared in her mind was the dream just now.
She dreamed that Nian Qiang was cutting her with a knife.
The pain, she could feel even when she woke up.
**
I didn't sleep well at night, and I was a little depressed during the day, Su Jinshi sat in his room, drinking tea and sorting out the thoughts in his head, and when he was halfway through thinking, Su Huaijin came in.
As soon as Su Huaijin came in, he saw the dark blue in her eyes, he sat on the chair and said, "Sister, who hit you in the eye?" ”
"......" Su Jinshi glanced at him and didn't speak.
Su Huaijin saw that she didn't talk to herself, and she was not embarrassed, he casually looked at the words written by Su Jinshi on the paper, raised his eyebrows and said, "The first time I saw my sister's writing, the writing is good." ”
Su Jinshi glanced up at him and said coldly: "There are so many things you don't know, who made you usually not pay attention to me at all?" ”
Su Huaijin touched her nose and was a little embarrassed, "Sister, what are you writing now?" Do you want me to help? ”
"Aren't you reluctant to continue investigating this? Why are you still coming to me? Su Jinshi didn't have a good temper with him, although Su Huaijin had a good skin, but he usually took pleasure in making fun of her, and her gloating appearance made her want to beat him up......
"Who said I didn't investigate? Our brothers and sisters work together, and its profits are gold! Su Huaijin said a little exaggeratedly.
Su Jinshi was silent for a while, she can't solve this case with her own strength now, after all, she has only been in this world for more than a month, and she doesn't know many things, but Su Huaijin has lived in this town for more than 20 years, and there are some deficiencies that he can make up for.
It's just that......
If she cooperates with Su Huaijin, she will inevitably tell Su Huaijin about Nian Qiang, after all, Nian Qiang is the only clue.
She looked at Su Huaijin's smiling face, and couldn't help but ask herself in her heart: Can she trust him?
"Sister, you can't doubt me, do you?" Su Huaijin suddenly asked.
Su Jinshi came back to her senses, she waved her hand, and said, "How can I doubt you, it's just that I suddenly feel that you and my brother in my impression are not the same." ”
"How is it different?"
"It's nothing, it's like you think I'm not the same as before, and I think you're not the same as before." Su Jinshi picked up the pen and paper again, sorted out his thoughts in his mind, and wrote them down from time to time.
Su Huaijin raised his eyebrows and looked at Su Jinshi, and then smiled, he looked at what Su Jinshi had recorded on the side, and slowly recalled what he knew in his mind.
He looked at it for a while and found that the things recorded by Su Jinshi all had her own thoughts, and he couldn't help asking, "Jinshi, you have a clue, right?" ”
Su Jinshi didn't answer him, he just quietly wrote down the thoughts in his mind, and Su Huaijin stopped talking.
After about a pillar of incense, Su Jinshi put down the pen, sorted out the paper he had written, and looked at it carefully, not noticing that Su Huaijin beside him had not left.
When the sun sank in the west, Su Jinshi was tired, put down the paper, and was about to go to bed to lie down for a while, but found that Su Huaijin was still by her side.
"Brother, what are you doing in a big girl's boudoir!" Su Jinshi asked with a frown.
"What big girl's boudoir, I'm your brother, what's wrong with coming to your room?" Su Huaijin glanced at Su Jinshi, and then said, "Aren't you going to tell me what you just did?" Do you have a clue? ”
Su Jinshi stretched his waist, lay on his bed, and said lazily: "I can't sue you yet." ”
Su Huaijin was silent for a while, he also relaxed his body, leaned back in the chair, and said, "Is it related to Nian Su?" ”
Su Jinshi was so excited that she almost blurted out how do you know, but she still calmed down, and she didn't speak.
"Want to know why I guessed that?" The corners of Su Huaijin's mouth were lightly raised, and there was playfulness in his eyes, "Why don't you guess too?" ”
Su Jinshi rolled his eyes at him, and directly turned over to express his refusal.
"Jinshi, I'm not blind, I can see that you are special to the big cow daughter-in-law, if there is anything that makes you hesitate not to tell me, probably only the big cow daughter-in-law, okay, can you tell me your clues?" Su Huaijin's tone was firm, as if he expected Su Jinshi to say.
Su Jinshi frowned, could it be that his expression was so obvious? Even Su Huaijin can see that he is not ordinary to Niansu?
"Brother, don't you even need to read? Aren't you going to Beijing next year to take the imperial examination? Su Jinshi continued to turn his back to him and asked idly.
"You also said that the time interval is getting shorter and shorter, and if I fail in the imperial examination, I can exchange it for a life, but I don't care." Su Huaijin said lightly and indifferently, as if he was saying something very casual.
Su Jinshi was shocked, she didn't expect that the justice in Su Huaijin's heart was more important than her own future, if he became a magistrate in the future, he would be a good official who was honest and honest.
In ancient times, people took the imperial examination as an opportunity to turn over, many people studied hard from a young age, but very few people were able to take the imperial examination in high school, and most of them lived a mediocre life, but Su Huaijin didn't seem to take the imperial examination to heart, which had to make Su Jinshi feel strange.
But she no longer has the energy to think about Su Huaijin, and she is entangled in whether she should tell Su Huaijin about Nian Qiang.
Su Huaijin didn't rush Su Jinshi, just sat quietly in her room, waiting for her response.
Su Jinshi was lying on the bed thinking about her situation, if she wanted to solve this case, she would definitely need someone to talk to, Nian Su was Nian Qiang's sister, and she couldn't look at this matter rationally, and she didn't seem to have anyone else besides Su Huaijin.
And Su Huaijin is a man, and she is always more useful than a woman at critical moments.
