Chapter 007: Identification
Lu Yunxian was really taken aback when he saw Ma Guixian, this cousin, since she became the incense envoy of Yuanxiang Academy, she didn't come to look for her. It's just that although the two are relatives, the Ma family owes her mother and daughter a lot back then, and she has always remembered those humiliations, so even if she loves money, she doesn't want to deal with Ma Guixian. It's just that Ma Guixian has met a lot of incense envoys through her relationship, and has earned a lot of silver in recent years, and his wealth has accumulated, so he can now go in and out of the sleeping forest, and the days are getting more and more proud.
Ma Guixian secretly dealt with the incense envoy to do business in private, Lu Yunxian had heard of it, but it had nothing to do with her, so he didn't bother with it. But what she didn't expect was that today Wang Meiniang was calculating her own affairs, and Ma Guixian was also involved in it, helping others to calculate her!
Lu Yunxian was even more angry after being surprised, his eyes were staring at Ma Guixian, and as soon as Ma Guixian came in, he looked at Lu Yunxian and smiled wryly. He didn't know the relationship between Lu Yunxian and Wang Meiniang, although he didn't know what was going on yesterday, but after all, he didn't have anything to lose, so he was actually extremely reluctant to recognize people from the Xiangyuan today. You don't need to think about this kind of thing to know that it is a job that offends people, but he has a handle in Chen Lu's hands, so he can't refuse, so he has to come over hard.
Lian Xi'er felt very uncomfortable, stealing incense was not a glorious thing, even if Chen Lu found out, she should tell her privately and let her deal with it. Now she didn't even say hello, so she led outsiders over and pointed out that there were incense slaves stealing incense in her courtyard, and she really didn't take her seriously. It's just that when she saw that it was Shizhu who led Chen Lu and Ma Guixian in, Lian Xi'er was stunned, and had to contain the dissatisfaction that was about to be exported. Shizhu is a small servant next to Wang Zhangshi, and he usually does not mix with the things in the incense courtyard, and now Shizhu's action shows that Chen Lu came over today to obtain the consent of Wang Zhangshi, so no matter how unhappy she is, it is not easy to show it.
Wang Meiniang had already greeted her at this time, bowed slightly to Chen Lu, and then said: "We are also investigating who this bold thief is, I can't imagine that anyone else has seen it with their own eyes, you are welcome, if it is really someone who steals incense in our courtyard, you will point it out to us on the spot." ”
Chen Lu was anxious about his lost incense cards, and he didn't have the heart to greet them politely, so he simply greeted Lian Xi'er, and introduced Ma Guixian's identity to Lian Xi'er, and then glanced at the incense slaves in the courtyard, and then nodded at Ma Guixian.
Just before she could speak, Lu Yunxian said, "Wait!" As she spoke, she walked over, looked at Chen Lu twice, looked at Wang Meiniang and Gui Zhi again, and then said to Lian Xi'er, "This happened too coincidentally, in order to avoid someone deliberately making trouble, when recognizing people, no one is allowed to make a sound, and no one is allowed to give any hints!" ”
Lian Xi'er was not happy in her heart, and at this time, she was biased towards Lu Yunxian's side, so she nodded and said: "This is reasonable, if someone dares to speak out or hint at something for a while, today's matter will be another matter." ”
Lu Yunxian immediately ordered the incense slaves who had just been named to return to their original positions and stand up.
Wang Meiniang smiled a little sarcastically, but she didn't object.
She felt that Lu Yunxian had miscalculated this time, she really wanted to get rid of Lu Yunxian, but today Chen Lu brought someone over, but it was not arranged by her. She asked Chen Lu to inquire last night, but she didn't find out any more useful news, so it proves that there is indeed a Xiangnu who has done something outside the Sleepy Forest, as for whether that Xiangnu is An Lan or not, she doesn't mind at all, but she will let this result come according to her wishes.
From the moment Ma Guixian came in, the golden finch couldn't help clenching his fists, and the roots of his teeth were clenched tightly.
She knows this person, even if she turns to ashes!
After An Lan returned to stand next to the golden finch, she glanced at her with concern and shook her head slightly, suggesting that she should not be impulsive.
The Plantage paused before giving her a reassuring look, and even smiled reluctantly, and asked in a low voice, "Are you okay?" ”
An Lan shook her head: "It's okay." Then motioned for her to be silent, Ma Guixian had already begun to come over to recognize people, and Chen Lu had been following Ma Guixian, with angry eyes and a gloomy face.
There were a total of thirty-eight incense slaves in the courtyard, standing in five rows, almost the same dress, and the age was not much different, but Ma Guixian was very quick to distinguish, and he looked at them one by one, and kept shaking his head, and after a while, he came to the last row.
The golden finch couldn't help but quietly clench her palms again, and An Lan also mentioned that the incense she gave Ma Gui yesterday did work, otherwise she wouldn't have been able to get back the Guanyin paper. But...... Whether it can completely confuse Ma Guixian's memory and make him unrecognizable when he sees him again, she is not sure.
There were eight incense slaves in the last row, and Ma Guixian looked from the first one, and Chen Lu was still following him.
The atmosphere was so tense that it was difficult to breathe, and even the selected Xiangnu felt uneasy.
The first one is not, the second one is not...... Three, four, five, six, in the end, Ma Guixian came to An Lan and Jinque, and then stood hesitantly, these are the last two incense slaves.
Seeing this scene, Gui Zhi was so excited that she was short of breath, Wang Meiniang also raised the corners of her mouth slightly, and Lu Yunxian sank her face. Even Xi'er frowned, no matter what she said, she didn't want such a disgraceful thing to happen in the incense courtyard before she left, and it was pointed out by people outside the courtyard.
The little girls with delicate skin and tender flesh are all Ma Guixian's favorite models, although the fragrant slaves in front of them are also well-born, but compared with An Lan and Jinfinch, there is obviously a gap. Therefore, when Ma Guixian first saw An Lan and the Golden Finch, he felt that his eyes lit up. It's just that when he looked at An Lan again, some vague images suddenly flashed in his mind, first a pair of hands lighting incense, and then a wisp of intoxicating fragrance......
Ma Guixian only stopped for a few breaths, but for these few breaths, it was extremely long for everyone present!
Chen Lu couldn't help it at first, stepped forward and asked, "Recognize it?" Which of them is it? ”
Ma Gui was suddenly excited, and was shocked by Chen Lu's voice to come back from his trance, and then subconsciously turned his head, a little dazed: "Ah? "Yes.
Chen Lu was impatient: "Who is it?" ”
"Yes......" Ma Guixian raised his hand and pointed at An Lan, and the golden finch was about to speak, but the finger pointed at her again. An Lan's eyelids that had just been raised lowered slightly, the golden finch was stunned, and Lian Xi'er, Lu Yunxian and others in front were also stunned, Chen Lu was angry because she was in a hurry, gritted her teeth and said again: "Who is it?" ”
Ma Guixian felt that his brain was completely confused, just now, he seemed to smell the faint fragrance of yesterday again, which made him excited and frightened. He felt that An Lan was a little familiar, but he felt that the golden finch was more familiar, and the contours of his eyebrows and eyes were just like the ones he had only seen yesterday, very similar, really similar, the more he looked at it, the more he looked at it, the more similar it became!
The incident when he finished playing the little girl in the garden had already been forgotten, but yesterday I didn't know what happened, and suddenly I remembered, and the outline of the little girl's eyebrows and eyes were recalled very clearly. When he saw the goldfinch at this time, that scene jumped out of his mind, so he looked at the goldfinch in a daze, and every time he looked at it, he felt more like a point.
"Yes...... Yes, it's her! After Ma Guixian pointed back and forth between An Lan and the Golden Sparrow a few times, he finally ignored An Lan completely and pointed to the Golden Sparrow.
Lu Yunxian quietly breathed a sigh of relief, and glanced at Wang Meiniang with some mockery, Wang Meiniang was very surprised, she thought that Chen Lu must have been prepared to lead people over like this, why did she make such an oolong?
Guizhi is also anxious, the golden finch has never been out of the Yuanxiang Courtyard in the past few days, how could Ma Guixian see the golden finch in Kou Sleepy Forest, what is going on? How could Chen Lu lead such an unreliable person over to cause trouble, it's really stupid!
"Are you sure it's really her?" In the end, it was a person from Yuanxiang Courtyard, although Chen Lu couldn't wait to pull out the goldfinch immediately, but he still asked first.
Ma Gui seemed to be in a trance for a moment before he said, "Indeed, sure." ”
Chen Lu was about to take care of Lian Xi'er's person, but Lu Yunxian smiled at this time, looked at a few of them back and forth, and then said to Lian Xi'er: "I don't know yet, the people around me actually have the ability to separate." ”
Chen Lu frowned, not knowing what Lu Yunxian meant by this, even Xi'er was faintly happy in her heart, so she said: "It seems that the person Chen Xiang'er is looking for is not here, the incense slave that Boss Ma just pointed out has not been out of the Yuanxiang Courtyard in the past few days, so he must have admitted his mistake." ”
Chen Lu was stunned for a moment, that is, he looked at Ma Guixian, Ma Guixian was also a little confused, only to feel that his brain was even more confused, and he couldn't even say an explanation for a while. Chen Lu was very anxious and angry, so she pointed to An Lan and said, "What about this, did she go to Sleepy Forest yesterday?" ”
Gui Zhi hurriedly spoke: "Yesterday, she went to Sleepy Forest, and when she came back, it was dark!" ”
It was too late for Lu Yunxian to stop Gui Zhi, Chen Lu heard Gui Zhi's words, and immediately said to Ma Gui: "What you pointed at just now, it must have been confused by a moment of nervousness, it should be her!" ”
"Nonsense!" Lu Yunxian raised his voice and scolded, "It's just child's play, can the incense slave in my Yuanxiang Courtyard be wronged by you so casually?" Don't say that the source of the incense courtyard is not under the management of the forest, even if it is under the management of the forest, the affairs in the incense courtyard are far from your turn to point fingers! Lian Xiang envoy, such a person, I think it's better to please go out! ”
Chen Lu also felt that she had offended people by what she said just now, but if she didn't find her incense card today, she would not have a good time in Ningmeilin, Yuanxiangyuan was not a place for herself after all, and if she was offended, she would be offended, so she gritted her teeth and said: "It is a fact that the Yuanxiangyuan was stolen, and it is also a fact that the incense slaves of Yuanxiangyuan are secretly selling incense in Ningmeilin, and the time is right, if you think what I said is wrong, you can search the rooms of these Xiangnu, and maybe you will find out what you shouldn't have." ”
Lu Yunxian sneered: "You can eat things indiscriminately, but you can't talk nonsense, you have searched before you came, but unfortunately, you didn't find anything that shouldn't be." ”
Chen Lu was stunned for a moment, and asked again: "Have they also searched their bodies?" ”
