Chapter Seventy-Four: Three Swords of Honey (Part II)

"Tired or not? You see, I didn't send you a sedan chair, but the friends who came to me were on foot. It's almost time to get to her yard, Du Shaonan pretended to mean it, and hinted that the reason why Liu Yiyi couldn't enjoy the treatment of picking up the sedan chair was all because she wanted to wear men's clothes.

Liu Yiyi didn't think as much as him, and shook his head very simply: "What's so tiring about this little road, besides, your murals are very beautiful." ”

Her fingers are a little higher, the direction is not the wall, that is called Wadang, Du Shaonan did not correct it, he has been in this time and space for almost twenty years, he has always only studied what he is interested in, architectural art is not in it, but he knew that there should be "fellow villagers", he should dabble in any ancient customs and customs, and show off.

"This is the yard where I live, the ancestral home of the Du family is Mengzhou, this house has been built for almost three hundred years, two hundred years ago when the dynasty was changed and destroyed in the war, and later rebuilt for nostalgia to mix some old bricks and new bricks together to build a house, but the wind and rain have been for so long, it is no longer possible to distinguish the old from the new, but the eldest son of the Fan Du family has a room, and each generation lives in this courtyard." Du Shaonan can only say what he knows.

"Is it because the feng shui here is better or the terrain is better?" Liu Yiyi asked boldly, it was rare for someone to tell her about ancient architectural feng shui.

"Yes, it is said that when this place was chosen, it was still the Qin Tianjian of the previous dynasty to see, by the way, the Du family was also a dignitary in the previous dynasty, Qin Tianjian said that this place is a small auspicious place, and the generations will be touched by the emperor's grace, and there is a dragon merit, but the result is not wrong, the day the palace of the previous dynasty was burned down here was also burned." After all, he became a descendant of the Du family, and Du Shaonan must understand his own history.

Liu Yiyi listened to it funny, but she must not laugh. At the same time strange: "...... Did the later emperor find out that he had wronged the Du family? ”

She asked implicitly, in fact, in ancient times, it was important to pay attention to loyal ministers and not two masters, if the Du family changed to a new master. Glory and wealth can also be despicable.

"The big family is very complicated, the head of the Du family of the previous dynasty is unlucky, the Yuan and the royal family have relatives but died early, leaving only a son, he is also considering the problem of dividing the family property in the future, specially accepted a stepfamily with an ordinary family background, and gave birth to a son. As a result, before his two sons could finish presiding over the division of the family as adults, he died in an accident with his stepfamily......"

“…… Yuanpei's eldest son was unable to stop his father from continuing the strings, but after the death of both his father and stepmother. However, he relied on the power of his biological mother's family to drive his half-brother who was only thirteen years old from Mengzhou, and as a result, this younger brother was really lucky, and the little friend who begged to save became the founding generalissimo of our dynasty. He also became a prince of the country because of his military exploits. ”

"I returned home, thinking that I would let my snobbish relatives see who I am now. As a result, the old house became a ruined wall, and the eldest brother who was originally a villain in his heart still had backbone when he changed the dynasty, and committed suicide by throwing his whole family into the well, but it was not in vain that the royal family of the previous dynasty was good to them, of course, now we of the Du family are all in the vein of the prince of this dynasty. Du Shaonan introduced the ins and outs in detail.

The younger brother did not enjoy the benefits of the previous dynasty, but was treated unfairly because he offended the royal family of the previous dynasty, and it was the new dynasty that gave him a new life. Allegiance is not betrayal.

It's just that Du Shaonan, the family history of the Du family, has never introduced it in detail to others, of course, his former friends such as Lin Yuxiao and Fang Xiaozhu. The background is thicker than the Du family, and there are more secrets than the Du family, Du Shaonan doesn't have to reveal his family's old background to them as soon as they meet.

However, Du Quanzhong and they know Liu Yiyi, who is dressed in men's clothes, and grew up with Du Shaonan since childhood, in their memory, their young master, not to mention that they have never introduced the Du family to male friends like this, let alone say such a long word to the daughter of which family, let alone take a woman to his residence, Miss Liu broke three conventions as soon as she came, could it be that she really wants to become the young grandmother of the Du family?

Du Shaonan was not as kind as his subordinates thought, and after introducing his own family, he asked: "The Liu family is also rich in Mengzhou City, and the family has a big business, I heard that it was the generation...... When Emperor Baofeng was still Emperor Changzhi, he was still an imperial businessman, why didn't he do it later? ”

What Emperor Baofeng! Emperor Changzhi! Liu Yiyi only knew that the Liu family almost became an imperial businessman after listening to Du Shaonan today, as for why it was inappropriate, how would she know? Since the crossing, she is afraid that others will find out that she is not the original owner, on the one hand, she does not dare to talk about the history of the Liu family, and on the other hand, she tries her best to collect information related to the original owner.

"Miss Liu?" Du Shaonan was very humble on his face, and he was very happy in his stomach.

"I'm a woman, no matter what the family is doing, I don't know what Young Master Du said." Liu Yiyi could only answer like this.

Du Shaonan would let her go easily: "Miss Liu, don't be presumptuous, who doesn't know that Ling Zun has only one daughter, and she has always been raised as a son." ”

"When a son will not become a son, my father said, how to do business anyway, I can't learn it, so he doesn't need me to go north and south, as long as I can read the account book and not let people cheat, if the income of any store is not good in the future, it will not be opened, or rent or sell it, anyway, the money is enough for me to spend." Liu Yiyi said truthfully.

The "Liu Yiyi" in the original book is even more unreliable than the current one, Master Liu should have recognized the reality of his daughter's dote on him for more than ten years, and it is reasonable to plan to this extent that he spoils his daughter, "What about you?" Do you really want to sit back and enjoy it for the rest of your life? ”

According to the analysis of many time-traveling novels, time-traveling women are idle, big interference in court politics is the empress and queen, and the medium one must be a first-class lady or the richest man in the world, and those who make small troubles and farm will also be rich. Self-improvement is not a bad thing, and Du Shaonan has no right to stop others from fighting, provided that it does not hinder him from living a good life, and does not cause him to be cannon fodder.

Liu Yiyi also thought about the future, she didn't come to be Miss Liu's family since she was a child, and she always felt empty when she came to live in Liu's house for nothing: "I really don't know how to do business, I only cook, if possible, I hope to expand Liu's restaurant in the future and open a few more dim sum shops." "At least earn living expenses and then pay her back the money from the Liu family.

If he can't hurt him by opening a single store, he will have a good place to eat again, after all, this crossing girl's cooking skills are really good, and he is a little happy and looking forward to it. Du Shaonan joked: "Then aren't we enemies?" ”

"What?" Liu Yiyi didn't understand.

"My peers are enemies, you forgot that I just opened a restaurant." Du Shaonan said with a smile.

"Oh, what does it matter. Mengzhou is not a small town, there will never be only one restaurant, what is the saying? A single flower is not spring, a hundred flowers bloom in spring, that is, I will preside over the restaurant business of the Liu family in the future, and the peers should also be a cooperative relationship, and everyone will make a fortune together. "Sure that the word enemy has no other meaning. Liu Yiyi's speech was also sharp.

Du Shaonan touched his chin with his hand, imagining the picture of only his restaurant in Mengzhou City, and only one family in a city could eat. It's not a monopoly, but shabby!

"Yes, yes, there is competition to be stronger." Du Shaonan smiled very happily, he has been here for almost eighteen years, except for the sense of crisis and ambition at the beginning. The days that followed were spent eating, drinking, and merrymaking. His brain will rust if he doesn't use it, he hasn't been so refreshed and imaginary for a long time.

As he spoke, he finally walked into the courtyard where Du Shaonan lived, and when he arrived in the living room, of course, he had to invite the guests to sit down and let the people below serve tea: "Liren, soak the golden buds given by the emperor in a pot, and then bring the honey three knives that Miss Liu just gave as a snack." ”

"Don't bother." Liu Yiyi said politely, she doesn't understand tea anyway. I'm not here for tea.

Du Shaonan's grandfather in his last life was a master of the tea ceremony and a full cultural person. It's a pity that the grandson who studied abroad fell in love with coffee, so he was often taught by the old man to forget his roots, and he thought that he would not be able to change the habit of drinking coffee for a lifetime.

I knew that I would cross, and it was not a loss to accompany the old man to drink more tea and learn more tea culture in those days, and he could still make the old man happy, why was he afraid of trouble?

"Tea tasting is an elegant thing, not troublesome." Whenever someone regards drinking tea as a trouble, even if it is just a polite remark, Du Shaonan will be unhappy and dislike to listen to it.

Liu Yiyi was snubbed and ridiculed by her relatives in her previous life, which made her very sensitive to other people's tones, but she didn't understand why Du Shaonan was unhappy, and it was inconvenient to ask, so she could only sit honestly and silently in a low voice.

His emotions shouldn't be obvious, right? Du Shaonan asked himself that he is usually quite good at wearing masks, so the problem is afraid that it will be on her, her sense of acuity is closely related to the environment in which she lives, and this woman who has traveled through the last life is not happy.

She may be willing to travel in time to change her fate, and she will cherish the opportunity to change her fate, and to do so, she will fight as many people as possible who stand in her way.

Liren offered tea and honey three knives at this time, and Du Shaonan took the opportunity to push Liu Yiyi's side, which was regarded as an apology to ease the atmosphere: "Did Miss Liu hear that the Du family was targeted by the murderers of the Mengzhou Strange Case, and she came to take a look if she was not at ease?" ”

"Master Wang of the prefect came to tell my father, I came to ask if there is anything I can help with?" Liu Yiyi said with a straight face, Du Shaonan was targeted because she helped her, and she was duty-bound.

"So how can Miss Liu help?" Don't say you can't trust her, but Du Shaonan really can't find someone she can help? Her cooking skills are good, but she is only suitable for a peaceful environment.

"I have a suspicious target, about the murderer of the strange case in Mengzhou......" Liu Yiyi also considered before coming, Mi Sandao can't be used as a defensive weapon, she wants to make people believe that she is useful, and it will definitely not work if she doesn't come up with some actual ones.

"Purposeful? Who do you think it is? Du Shaonan's curiosity is pretended.

"......" Liu Yiyi didn't say it immediately, hesitantly looking at the others present.

"I have complete trust in my people!" Du Shaonan didn't need to look at anyone else present, he waved his hand magnanimously, and those who can enter his yard now can naturally be trusted.

He assured that Liu Yiyi would not question: "I doubt Lu Tingqi." ”

How dare she say, "Evidence? ”

Liu Yiyi was surprised: "Do you believe what I said?" ”

"No, so I want proof." Du Shaonan lied more than Liu Yiyi when he met without changing his color, and he would smile and take the lead.

"I don't have any human and physical evidence, but don't you think that the murderer in the Mengzhou Strange Case is simply too powerful? How much of the rich family's family background can be found out by ordinary people? The people of the government have convenient conditions. There is also how there is an invisible spell in the world that kills people, and it is more likely that there is a secret hand when it is close at hand without vigilance, and Lord Lin has checked the deceased after coming to Mengzhou, and he should find something. ”

Liu Yiyi knew that there was no evidence, and if she confronted Lu Tingqi, she was afraid that she would be slandered by him, so when it came to bringing out Lin Yuxiao later, Lin Yuxiao was the most confident in this time and space.

Du Shaonan said helplessly: "What you said makes sense, the murderer in the Mengzhou strange case is very likely to be from the government, but why must it be Lu Tingqi?" Or is that the phrase, what about the evidence? "If he could catch Lu Tingqi's handle, he would have done it a long time ago.

"Wouldn't it be okay to try to check him first? Lu Tingqi is not a native, his identity is only a few sentences on the file, does what he wrote must be true? As for why he was suspected of investigating him first, because he was the chief catcher of the yamen, if other arresters were traitors, could they hide from him? He is not the real culprit, but also dereliction of duty or complicity! ”

As the daughter of a businessman, she has only been through for less than a year, and Liu Yiyi has no right or ability to investigate the origin of a chief catcher, but the young master of the country, who is a relative of the emperor, has privileges, right?

The young master of the Du family was helpless and spread his hands: "What you said this time still makes sense, but I don't have the right to read the files of the government, because I have no rank, my father can, but he is now in the capital." So when Du Guogong came to congratulate Mrs. Li on her birthday, he used his father's privilege to check, but unfortunately Lu Tingqi hid it too deeply.

He couldn't show off the things he had checked but didn't find, and Liu Yiyi was disappointed when he heard that the young master couldn't check it either: "Then what should I do?" Young Master Du, can you not let Lu Tingqi come to the Du family first? ”

"Young master, I have always hated Lu Tingqi, I don't need you to say that I told Governor Li not to let this person come to the Du family, but to check all the way from Mengzhou to find out what he served in other places, what he did before taking office, this is really half of Jiangnan, and if you can do it, you must have the support of the imperial court, such as the Criminal Department, such as the Ministry of Officials, or the Metropolitan Procuratorate, and then it is Qincha, they have the right to be justified."

Du Shaonan popularized the common sense of officialdom here to the new "fellow villagers", and at the same time regretted it in his heart, he had read the original book and knew that Lu Tingqi was not a good person, and he didn't make a move before the case because this case caused the plot, and there will be the acquaintance of the male and female protagonists if there is a strange case in Mengzhou.

If the male and female protagonists never know each other, how will the plot unfold? Is this plane still going to collapse? Will he still be alive?

At that time, Du Shaonan was considering that he didn't dare to mess up the plot, and at the same time he didn't make a move on Lu Tingqi with the mentality of watching a good show, who would have thought that the heroine would be worn at the beginning of the plot, and now the plot is very different from the original work, and he, who is watching the excitement, is about to put himself in.

"Young Master, Lord Yue and the people in the yamen are here." Du Quanzhong, who had gone out to talk to the porter for a while just now, came in to report.

"Who is the person from the yamen?" Du Shaonan asked this first.

"It's a deputy head hunter surnamed Han, and he brought more than 20 people." Du Quanzhong replied. (To be continued.) )
