At the age of twenty-five, he settled the palace.

It's been more than ten days, no matter what method you use, this person doesn't open his mouth whether he is dead or alive, even if you promise a lot of money, and even put the gold in front of his eyes, he doesn't say a word.

Whether you torture him, even if you cut his flesh, the most right thing is that it hurts, but Ren just doesn't say a word.

Eat when you give food, drink when you give water, and when you are angry, you are hungry for three days, but you don't complain, you don't say a word, as if there is really no way to take him in this world.

After thinking about it for a few days, Zhu Guli finally reluctantly wrote a letter to Wukong, the great monk of Xiaowuxiang Temple.

Sue him, he didn't interrogate a word, let alone be useful, even if it was useless, he didn't say it, if it wasn't for his henchmen to check it, he would have thought this guy was dumb.

In the letter, he admitted that he had no choice, and hoped that the master could think of a way to think of a way for him to look at the face of his more than a dozen trucks of silver silk carbon and cooked grain.

The reason why Zhu Guli said this was because when he left, the old monk said that he still needed to ask something, and when he finished asking, he would send someone to send a letter to ask the prince to pick people up.

After five or six days, the old monk sent someone to let him pick up people, which shows that this Wukong master definitely asked something, otherwise how could he let people be picked up, this means that they have been used up and returned, if they didn't ask, how could they die so quickly.

He asked people to check that there was no = trace of torture on this person's body, which shows that this monk has his own way to interrogate it.

As a last resort, Zhu Guli bought more than a dozen truckloads of silver silk charcoal, as well as some cooked vegetables and grains that could be stored. and let his secret guard go to the Little Wuxiang Temple with the letter.

Zhou Mansion.

The Chinese New Year is still a few days away. The busiest people in the house are all the housekeepers, as well as the subordinates, and several ladies also share some tasks. The He family of the big house suffered a loss from Zhou Xiaofu, and was also a little disgusted by the old lady, so he was diluted of his rights.

The big kitchen is now in charge of the second room Ma family, and the gifts and gifts are still managed by the He family in the big room, after all, this is very important for an official.

It is a particularly good time to bring people closer to each other during the New Year's holiday, and you can give gifts in a bright and bright way, and no one will say anything.

So at this special time, even if the old lady is angry again, she will take care of the overall situation. Leave the most important ones to Ho's management.

And Ye Xinlan hurried back except for Chinese New Year's Eve to come out for a meal, and recently did not let Zhou Xiaofu go over to ask for anything and stayed directly in the yard. I don't know what I'm doing, Zhou Xiaofu has been practicing every day recently, and escorting grain and grass with her uncles has given her a sense of crisis, and only by being strong can she protect the people around her. Survival in the last days made her feel that danger was very close to her.

So I can't bother to listen to the root of the wall. She listened more or less about Ye Xinlan's receipt of her mother's letter, but she didn't know much, and she also knew in her heart that according to Ye Xinlan's previous appearance, she would not let go of herself so lightly, she would only hate herself even more, and this would only be said to be the darkness before dawn.

Everyone in the house is busy, and the most idle are the few unmarried brothers and sisters in the house, and the brothers don't have to go to school. Recently, I have been resting already. The adults were busy giving gifts and preparing for the festival, and a few small ones were idle to get together to drink tea and chat or something.

For example, Zhou Xiaofu and Zhou Xiaolan are two sisters. Originally, the two of them went directly to Zhou Xiaofu, but after sitting for a while, they felt that Zhou Xiaofu's courtyard was too small, and the hall was pitiful, and then the three of them got dressed and went to Zhou Xiaobin's house.

The two sisters of Zhou Xiaolan live in the same courtyard, and the two have five rooms together, the largest of which is used as a common hall, and the other two are the bedrooms and small study rooms of the two sisters.

So the hall here is much bigger, and the two of them cleaned up this hall very comfortably, unlike Zhou Xiaofu, where there is a chair machine or something, but here is a large semi-circular couch, placed in the innermost part of the hall, soft pillows and cushions are placed on the couch, and there are four chairs and two high machines around the round couch, and a large desk is placed in front of the glass bed.

On weekdays, the two sisters often get together, embroidering and painting and practicing calligraphy, which is very comfortable.

Recently, Zhou Xiaofu has also come here often, and she likes it too.

As soon as the three of them packed up and sat down, Zhou Xiaofu took out two small gold velvet jewelry boxes from her purse, bright red.

Zhou Xiaobin's eyes were sharp, and he saw it at once, and looked at it with surprise on his face, this box was so beautiful.

Zhou Xiaofu smiled and handed it to the two sisters respectively.

Zhou Xiaolan took the box and looked at it carefully, and saw that the texture was very good, I didn't know what it was, and Zhou Xiaobin had already hurriedly opened it, and she couldn't open it for a long time, she thought that the box was in the form of an old-fashioned box lid.

Zhou Xiaofu smiled, took it, and with a flick of her hand, the box popped open.

Seeing this, Zhou Xiaobin's eyes glowed, and there was a small ring inside, just a simple prismatic pattern, no other decoration, simple but chic, just silver-white, Zhou Xiaobin took it curiously, and suddenly took it in front of him and looked at it for a long time, looked at Zhou Xiaofu suspiciously: "Fourth sister, this is not a silver ring, why is it so heavy?" ”

Zhou Xiaofu smiled, this Zhou Xiaobin is a little arrogant but very smart.

"It's just a foreign product, called platinum, which is also a very rare metal, rarer than gold, but our country doesn't like this." Zhou Xiaofu tried to use simple language as much as possible.

Zhou Xiaolan listened carefully before slowly learning from Zhou Xiaofu and opened the box in his hand, this is also a platinum ring, but the appearance is not the same as the one Zhou Xiaobin held, it is composed of several five-pointed star-shaped patterns, and it is also very bright.

Zhou Xiaobin looked at the one in his sister's hand, tried to wear it, and the one that could adjust the size of the ring was worn on his middle finger and shone on the sun, and found that it was more shiny than a silver ring, and much more elegant than a gold one.

Zhou Xiaofu Zhou Xiaolan didn't give it a try, stretched out his hand and patted her arm and said, "This is what I brought back from Jindu, and my grandmother rewarded me, and I specially picked out two of them for the second and third sisters." I hope you guys enjoy it. ”

In fact, there are many such small jewelry in Zhou Xiaofu's space, more of which are diamond rings, but expressing one's heart does not necessarily require expensive things. Besides, this will also cause other suspicions, no, I am just a mourned eldest daughter to the outside world, and suddenly giving so many valuable things to my friends will always arouse the suspicion of others.

Zhou Xiaolan was relieved to pick up the ring and put it on his hand, and then Zhou Xiaobin happily compared his finger with his sister's for a long time, although he thought that his sister's one was also good-looking, but she was not a person with small eyes, and she didn't want what she saw when she saw it. After all, this is the intention of the fourth sister.

Zhou Xiaolan glanced at her happy sister, then turned her head to look at Zhou Xiaofu and said, "Thank you, fourth sister, it's the New Year soon." It's you who send things to our sisters first, really, Qingmei went to my room to bring the things prepared yesterday. ”

Zhou Xiaofu was stunned, but saw Qingmei immediately get up and go out. And Zhou Xiaobin got off the couch alone and went back to the room happily. said that there were good things for Zhou Xiaofu.

Zhou Xiaofu looked at Zhou Xiaolan, both of them showed helplessness in their eyes, when will this sister grow up, what can I do if she keeps being like this.

After a while, Qingmei and Zhou Xiaobin returned to the room together, and as soon as they entered the door, they hurriedly took off their shoes and got on the couch, but they were holding a thick boxy thing wrapped in a cloth in their arms, with a mysterious face.

Seeing this, Zhou Xiaolan ignored her, but asked Qingmei to open the things she had prepared.

It was a package without a big one, and after Qingmei opened it, she handed it to Zhou Xiaolan.

After Zhou Xiaolan took it, he handed it to Zhou Xiaofu and said, "This is a pair of thick-soled shoes made by myself." You work out every morning, and your shoes wear out quickly. I deliberately made a pair of thick bottoms, and the face is snow blue, I remember that you have a few clothes that are snow blue, and I think you like snow blue. ”

Zhou Xiaofu took the shoes and looked at them carefully, it was indeed her own size, the snow-blue shoes were embroidered with spring flowers around them, and the color matching was excellent, and she did it with heart.

Before I could say thank you, I heard Zhou Xiaobin complaining: "Sister, you started preparing gifts for the fourth sister early, why don't you tell me." ”

Zhou Xiaolan glanced at Zhou Xiaobin depressedly and said: "What are you going to do, even if it is not a year, I plan to make a pair of shoes for the fourth sister, what is there to say hello to, and it is not a big deal, just take advantage of it today." ”

Zhou Xiaobin gagged his mouth and handed the Quartet in his arms to Zhou Xiaofu.

Zhou Xiaofu took over the thing in Zhou Xiaolan's surprised eyes, it was so heavy, it looked like four or five pounds.

Puzzled, I opened the wrapped cloth, and it turned out to be a book, a particularly thick book.

The name of the book is: "Domain Chronicles of the Kaiyuan Dynasty", Zhou Xiaofu was stunned for a moment, why this book.

Zhou Xiaobin said happily: "Fourth sister, the gift I gave is more intimate than my sister's, this is enough to relieve your boredom." ”

Zhou Xiaobin's explanation, Zhou Xiaofu and Zhou Xiaolan both thought of the solar terms in the surrounding areas of Tongzhou a few days ago and said that it was to relieve boredom, and when they thought of that day, and looked at this book again, Zhou Xiaofu suddenly felt so bored and couldn't cry or laugh.

Zhou Xiaolan had a black line on his face, how could this sister give this kind of book as a gift.

Zhou Xiaobin asked inexplicably: "Fourth sister, didn't you say that you like to read this kind of book to relieve boredom that day, I specially asked the maid to go to the largest bookstore outside to buy it, this one costs ten taels of silver, alas, the book to relieve boredom is expensive." ”

Zhou Xiaofu immediately laughed when she heard this, this Zhou Xiaobin is really a living treasure, okay, of course professional books are expensive, books are already very expensive, Zhou Xiaofu wrapped good things in Zhou Xiaolan's helpless eyes and handed them to Qingbi who came together, bring the things back first, and then pick him up in the afternoon.

Enough laughter, Zhou Xiaofu is not in the mood to read today, so she is on the desk with Zhou Xiaolan, Zhou Xiaolan is practicing calligraphy, and Zhou Xiaofu draws the clothes that Zhou Xiaobin likes to wear.

The three of them were painting when they heard the maid come to report that Aunt Wang from the big house had brought Zhou Xiaohu over.

The three of them looked at each other in confusion, what are you looking for them to do. (To be continued......)
