At this time, Li Nian'er was still choking up and thanking her, but Yan had already been helped by Lu Ping to sit on the small pestle, her sitting posture was also straight waist and head down, her eyes kept down forty-five degrees, she was not curious about the gorgeous and rich furnishings in the county lord's room, and she didn't look at it randomly. In comparison, Li Nian'er blushed and thanked her at a loss, which looked much more rude.

Fu Jun looked at Yan with a hint of inquiry in his eyes.

Only the servants of the family or the noble family or the family of the family can have such a demeanor as the Yan family.

After the two of them sat down, Fu Jun asked Li Nian'er about the situation at home. Li Nian'er said: "The woman lives in Qingyun Lane now, and the two younger sisters in the family also came with her. The woman originally wanted to bring the boy over to kowtow to the mother, but he had a fever these days, and his aunt said that she was afraid of being sick, so the woman didn't bring him along. ”

When Li Nian'er spoke, Yan sat with his eyes down, although he didn't say a word from beginning to end, but the etiquette was very respectful, and no one felt anything wrong.

Fu Jun glanced at Yan's and asked Li Nian'er with a smile: "This old lady is your aunt and grandmother?" ”

Li Nian'er hurriedly said: "Yes, Niangniang." ”

Fu Jun turned to Yan and said with a smile: "Thanks to you for taking care of me back then, I thank you for Nian'er." ”

When Yan heard this, he stood up and said respectfully: "Niangniang's words are serious. This is the kindness of the mother, and it is also the blessing of Nian'er, and the women dare not be a thank you word for the mother. ”

She speaks a very standard official language, with clear words and a respectful attitude, and she is extremely polite in all her words and deeds.

It's just that the voice of her voice makes Fu Jun feel inexplicably familiar.

She stared at Yan, and a picture suddenly flashed through her mind.

Her gaze involuntarily shifted downward. finally stopped at Yan's feet.

Because he was standing with his waist bowed, Yan's pair of green cloth plain shoes were exposed. It was a very ordinary pair of shoes, with no embroidery on them, but the embroidery was excellent, and the stitches were fine, and at a glance it was clear that the shoes were made by skilled needlework.

Fu Jun stared at her shoes for a while, and then asked suddenly, "Old Lady Yan." Shoes on your feet. Did you sew it yourself? ”

Yan was stunned.

In fact, everyone in the room was a little stunned.

The county lord's mother actually asked about needlework, which was the first time in the world. And she didn't ask about delicate embroidery, but about the shoes on a woman's feet. Qingman's eyes were round and full of incredulity.

The silence in the room lasted for a second, and Yan quickly replied, "Back to Niangniang's words." The shoes on the feet of the women were made by the women themselves. ”

Very standard reply, not a word of redundancy.

Fu Jun looked at Yan's gaze. It becomes deeper and deeper.

She did hear the voice.

Many years ago, this voice, together with the voice of another delicate little girl, formed a picture in her memory.

In an instant, that period of time is a long time but a clear picture like yesterday. Flashed again in Fu Jun's mind one by one:

The dialogue between the grandparents and grandchildren outside the rockery cave, the plain green cloth shoes and the red shoes embroidered with apricot blossoms, the ghost needle and the hidden cuizhai, the cold and gloomy face of Mrs. Hou, and Fu Jia's crying and aggrieved face......

If memory serves...... No, Fu Jun's memory is absolutely infallible. She remembers it well. The Yan family in front of him is the owner of the pair of plain green cloth shoes that Fu Jun, or the original owner, saw in the stone cave many years ago. Yan's voice, intonation. There are also plain shoes with fine stitches on her feet, which are the same as Fu Jun's memory.

At that moment, Fu Jun only felt infinitely emotional, all kinds of accidents and coincidences in these thousands of worlds could create such an incredible arrangement.

She never expected that she would be able to meet the relevant people of the ghost needle incident here, let alone that the / love/child/fetish/case she cracked in Gusu back then would bring the witness of another difficult incident to her many years later.

Just a few days ago, Fu Jun had just received a few messages about the Pingnan Hou Mansion, and was trying to find time to investigate further, but now that she happened to meet the Yan family, she could solve a few doubts in her heart.

Thinking like this, Fu Jun smiled at Li Nian'er and said, "Nian'er, I have something I want to say to your aunt and grandmother, can you go down to have tea with Bai Wei first?" As he spoke, Fu Jun glanced at Qingwu on the side.

Qingwu understood, waved his hand and pushed everyone in the room back. Li Nian'er trusted Fu Jun wholeheartedly, and after listening to what Fu Jun said at this moment, she thought that Fu Jun had something to say to the Yan family, but she didn't think much about it, so she followed Luping very obediently.

Fu Jun stood up, turned the fan and came to the east room, and Yan was also helped in by Qingwu.

At this time, the Yan family was still silent and quiet, very well-behaved.

After the two of them sat down, Fu Jun said softly: "I heard Nian'er say that you used to work in a big family. Let me guess, is that family the Pingnanhou Mansion? ”

Yan's body shook, raised his head and glanced at Fu Jun quickly, a trace of obvious surprise crossed his eyes.

Seeing her expression, Fu Jun smiled and said, "It seems that I guessed correctly." ”

Yan lowered his head, clasped his hands tightly in front of his knees, and let out a long sigh after a while, and said, "The women didn't deliberately hide it from their mothers. Niangniang was still very young at that time, and the folk women thought that Niangniang didn't remember. ”

Fu Jun said softly: "I remember, I asked you to come in because I wanted to ask you something." ”

Fu Jun was very impressed by the ghost needle incident back then, as well as the mysterious Zangcui Zhai, as well as Mrs. Hou's taboo and anger about this matter, and she has always wanted to find out, and now Yan's arrival is also an opportunity, she believes that the Yan family is likely to know about the matter of Concealing Cui Zhai, which can be seen from her conversation with her granddaughter at that time.

The thought turned here, and Fu Jun's heart suddenly moved.

She glanced at Yan carefully, then slowed down her tone and asked softly, "Can I ask you, your granddaughter...... Are you alright? ”

Li Nian'er once said that Yan was a lonely old woman with no relatives around her, but Fu Jun clearly remembered that the little girl who wore red embroidered shoes was called Yan's "grandma".

Listening to Fu Jun's words, Yan's body stiffened slightly. I don't know if it's an illusion, Fu Jun felt that at that moment, Yan's body exuded an aura of sadness and sadness.

She ...... He's dead. After a long time, Yan Shi said in a low voice, and then clenched his hands tightly, and the green tendons on the back of his thin hands bulged, "She ...... made a big mistake and hit forty boards...... Didn't get past it. ”

Her voice was low and deep, but there was not much sadness in her tone, only numbness, and a trace of the vicissitudes of desolation in the world.

Fu Jun's heart was not very comfortable, but he didn't know what to say for a while. (To be continued.) )
