Chapter 10: The Intruder

The next day, the news of the second son's death from a sudden illness came out of the Hou Mansion in Zhenbei.

Chu Shuo only sighed a few times when he learned the reason.

He was rarely serious, and his face was gloomy: "The Marquis of Zhenbei has two sons, this is to want the Marquis of Zhenbei to be the queen." ”

Nanli was sorting out the yellow paper, and there was a hint of surprise in her eyes: "Second brother, it turns out that you not only know how to spend money, but your brain is sometimes quite bright." ”

Chu Shuo pursed his lips, "You also need brains to do business, sixth sister, don't underestimate me." ”

"Since you have this suspicion, you should inform Xie Shizi and Zhenbei Hou." Nanli said, "So that they can have a precaution." ”

"Don't worry, Beihan is as smart as I am." Chu Shuo wasn't worried.

Now that he has been startled, that person will not use any more tricks in the short term.

I just don't know who Zhenbei Hou Mansion offended, and let that person be so vicious, and want Zhenbei Hou Wu'er to die.

Chu Shuo went back to his yard to read the account book, and Nanli drew the talisman.

Drawing talismans needs to be meditated, different patterns of talismans have different effects, and the level of cultivation of the painter will also affect the effect of the talisman.

So after an hour, tiny beads of sweat appeared on her forehead.

As soon as she wiped off the beads of sweat, Shen came in with refreshments, "Li'er, come over and have some refreshments, you have returned home now, don't be so tired." ”

As she spoke, her eyes moistened again.

The daughter suffered a lot in the Xu family, and when she arrived at Xuanyue Temple, she had to go around often.

"Mother, I'm not tired." Nan Li cleaned his hands and went over to pull Shen to sit down together.

The refreshments are made by Shen himself, and they are sweet and delicious.

Nanli ate several pieces in one bite.

Shen watched his daughter eat and drink to his heart's content.

"You still like to eat red date cakes as before."

Among the pastries on the plate, Nanli eats the most red date cake.

Nanli was slightly stunned and said, "Did I love to eat when I was a child?" ”

Shen nodded and said with a smile: "Yes, you didn't like to eat before, and you were noisy all day long to eat red date cakes." ”

Nanli's memory of her childhood was already very vague, and before she could think about it, she saw that Shen's face was a little haggard, and her eyes were seriously blue.

She couldn't help asking, "Mother, are you prone to headaches and tinnitus these days, and you always can't sleep well at night?" ”

Shen was a little surprised: "Yes, how do you know?" ”

"Look at your face." Nanli touched Shen's pulse, "My mother has been depressed in her heart for many years, and her blood and qi are blocked, and I think it's because I'm lost." ”

Shen nodded with red eyes, "Yes, I couldn't sleep all night when I thought of you before. Even now that you're back, I'm sometimes afraid it's a sweet dream. ”

Nanli grabbed Shen's hand and let her feel the temperature of her palm, "It's not a dream, my daughter is back." I'll refine some elixirs for my mother to dredge stagnation, and my mother will take them every day, and she will get better soon. ”

Shen only felt that God was kind to her, not only let her get her daughter back, but also so sensible.

If you want to buy medicinal herbs, of course, you have to go to Aunt Qian's pharmacy.

Nanli went to find Chu Shuo to go out together, but he looked hurried and said, "You let Mrs. Zhang lead the way, Chunxi Lou has let people smash the store, I have to go over and have a look." ”

Chunxi Building, which is also Aunt Qian's industry, is one of the five major restaurants in Kyoto, and it can be said that it is making money every day.

was suddenly smashed in the store, and the business could not be done in the past few days, and the loss was not small.

Nanli thought that someone was making trouble, but she didn't care.

Mrs. Zhang took her to the Qian family pharmacy to buy medicinal materials, who knew that it was also closed to business.

Because Mrs. Zhang was Aunt Qian's companion and was familiar with the shopkeeper of the pharmacy, she went down to ask and found out that something had happened to the pharmacy.

"Sixth Miss, someone went to the pharmacy in the middle of the night to splash water, and the medicinal materials were soaked in water and couldn't be sold, why don't we go to another house?" Mrs. Zhang said.

"Chunxi Building was smashed and water was splashed here, could it be the same group of people?" Nanli asked.

Mrs. Zhang frowned and sighed: "My aunt has already reported to the official, but even if she catches someone, she will suffer a heavy loss." ”

Nanli lifted the curtain of the car and looked at it, only to see a faint ghost aura wafting out of the pharmacy, she smiled faintly: "The official is good at catching people, but he shouldn't be good at catching ghosts." ”

"What?" Mrs. Zhang's body shook, "Is this haunted?" ”

"Well, let's go to Chunxi Tower again." Nanli already has a suspicion in her heart, but she still has to be sure.

The coachman heard the order and rushed to Chunxi Tower.

Mrs. Zhang looked at Nanli, and saw that she was young, wearing a light green Luo skirt, her hair was still tied up with a wooden hairpin, and she was carrying a small cloth bag cross-body, which didn't look like a young lady at all.

Looking at it like this, it really looks like a ghost hunter.

"Miss Six can also hunt ghosts?" Mrs. Zhang asked cautiously.

Nanli said modestly: "I understand a little." ”

When Mrs. Zhang heard this, she couldn't help but be a little worried.

After all, Miss Six is too young, if she encounters an evil ghost, how can she fight.

Soon arrived at Chunxi Tower.

Aunt Qian and Chu Shuo are here, even if there is an official mission to handle the case, Nanli can go in.

As soon as she entered the restaurant, she felt cold.

Many tables, stools, dishes, chopsticks, cups and cups were smashed to pieces, and the floor was in shambles.

This is true not only on the first floor, but also on the top two floors.

This is renovated, and then buy some new tables, stools, dishes and chopsticks, to say the least, it will cost tens of thousands of taels.

Not to mention that other stores have also suffered heavy losses.

Aunt Qian cried and her eyes were red, and she asked the official to find out the person.

The official surnamed Chen who took the lead said: "The people who smashed the store must be a few light masters, only the windows on the third floor are not closed, and they came in from there." ”

The windows on the second floor and the door on the first floor are locked, and there is no sign of prying.

"No, they're floating in." Nanli retorted.

The three of them were stunned.

Floating?

How to float?

Or Chu Shuo reacted and said, "You mean it's haunted?" ”

"Exactly." Nanli nodded solemnly.

Chen Zhutou held the handle of the knife on his waist and laughed: "Haunted? Where did the little god stick dare to obstruct the office here! ”

Chu Shuo still protected her for the first time, and said: "Chen Zhutou, this is my sixth sister, she is not a god, she is a famous Xuanyue Temple...... Chu Tianshi! ”

Chen Zhutou was stunned again, if it weren't for the fact that this was Miss Gongzi of the Hou Mansion, he would have laughed at them for burning out their brains.

Where is a little girl qualified to be called a heavenly master!

He said to Aunt Qian: "We will try our best to investigate this case, and Auntie should take them home." ”

Nan Li looked directly at him and said, "No matter how much you investigate, it's in vain, I can take you to find the real criminal." ”

Chen Zhutou endured his anger and said coldly: "Sixth Miss, you should go home to embroider and play the piano, instead of talking nonsense." ”

With that, he turned and left.

"Since it's a ghost messing around, what should I do?"

Chen Zhutou didn't believe it, but Aunt Qian believed it.

"Don't worry, I'll hunt ghosts too." Nanli thought about it for a while, "You make a list of details first, after I find someone tonight, I will make him lose money." ”
