Hongying retreated in response, and after a while, she led a man with an ordinary face and medium build, dressed similarly to the previous Dongsheng, who should be one of Xiao Jingxi's entourage.

After bowing to Tongde, he stood aside respectfully, and if he did not pay attention to it, ordinary people would not stop their eyes on him. His sense of existence was extremely low, but Ren Yaoqi felt a peculiar aura from him. She didn't know how to describe it, but she felt that if she judged this kind of person by her appearance, the consequences would be very serious.

"If you have anything to ask, just ask him." Xiao Jingxi said to Ren Yao.

Xiao Jingxi's words made Ren Yaoqi know that her judgment was not wrong, but even so, she couldn't help but be a little surprised. Could it be that his subordinates can still know everything?

Xiao Jingxi seemed to know Ren Yaoqi's thoughts, but he just smiled slightly and didn't speak.

Seeing him like this, Ren Yaochi asked, "When will the people from the Liu family, Mrs. Lei's foreign family, come to Yunyang City?" ”

Tongde bowed his head and said, "Miss Hui, I can arrive before tomorrow." ”

Ren Yaochi glanced at Xiao Jingxi, Xiao Jingxi poured tea with a smile and did not interfere in their conversation.

After thinking about it, Ren Yaochi asked again: "How long does the Lei family plan to let Mrs. Lei rest her coffin?" ”

"Seven days."

The funeral customs of the Great Zhou Dynasty, as long as the conditions permit, are generally closed for seven days, and some are stopped for more than ten days or even months, but this is a minority. Especially in the summer, it is a seven-day stop.

Ren Yaochi nodded, then looked up and said to Xiao Jingxi, "How did Mrs. Lei die?" ”

"Why do you ask?" Ren Yaochi already knew that Mrs. Lei had committed suicide, so it was natural for her to ask what kind of Fang clan she used to commit suicide.

Ren Yaochi thought for a moment and said softly, "I guess there should be no obvious injuries or signs of poisoning on Mrs. Lei's corpse. ”

Xiao Jingxi was a little surprised: "How did you guess?" ”

Ren Yaoqi tilted her head, although she didn't mean it, Xiao Jingxi still caught a trace of wisdom and certainty in her bright eyes: "Isn't it obvious? The Liu family is here to recognize people, and tomorrow will come, even if Mrs. Lei has passed away, who knows if they want to see the remains? Knowing that the comer is not good. The Lei family also dared to let Mrs. Lei stop at home for seven days before being buried, indicating that it should not be seen from Mrs. Lei's body that she committed suicide. ”

Xiao Jingxi looked at Ren Yaoqi, suddenly smiled, and said with his chin propped up: "It makes sense, and you guessed well." ”

Xiao Jingxi sighed: "Although Mrs. Lei was born in a humble manner, she can indeed be regarded as a character. I sent someone to investigate, and I came to the conclusion that she died of a broken heart. Whether it is due to illness or external force, there is no clue to the rupture of the heart vein. ”

Ren Yao knew that some older people might also die due to an accident, but listening to Xiao Jingxi's meaning, Mrs. Lei's heart may have been broken due to external forces. As for how it was found out, Ren Yaoqi didn't know what to do. But that's not the point.

"I don't have anything more to ask." Ren Yaoqi nodded and thanked Tongde.

Although Xiao Jingxi was a little surprised that she only asked such two seemingly inconsequential questions, she didn't say anything and let Tongde retreat.

"If you are in a difficult situation, we can play chess to determine the winner."

Xiao Jingxi proposed: "How about I let you have five chess pieces?" ”

Xiao Jingxi knew Ren Yaoqi's strength, if he let her play a few chess pieces, Ren Yaoqi would not have no chance to win.

Ren Yaoqi was thinking about something, and when he came back to his senses when he heard the words, he still shook his head: "Let's bet on the original one." ”

As calm as Xiao Jingxi, he couldn't help but be a little curious at this time: "How do you want to help the Lei family?" ”

Ren Yaochi blinked. It was actually a little naughty: "If I ask Lei Ting to arrange for Mrs. Lei to be buried early tomorrow morning, how will he react?" ”

In fact, there are also people who stop coffins for three days, but the family will not do this.

Xiao Jingxi didn't speak, but Xiao Jinglin, who had been watching the excitement from the sidelines, frowned and said, "Do you want the Lei family to let Mrs. Lei enter the ground before the Liu family arrives?" In this way, it is indeed to avoid the trouble of the Liu family for the time being. But...... Will the Han family allow it? ”

Xiao Jingxi originally thought so, but seeing the sly smile on the corner of Ren Yaoqi's mouth, he couldn't help but move in his heart, lowered his eyes for a moment, pondered carefully, and then understood a little.

When I raise my eyes again. Looking at Ren Yaoqi's gaze, he couldn't help but feel a little complicated: "It's really a good means." ”

Ren Yaoqi saw that he had just figured out her plan in such an instant, and couldn't help but feel a little frustrated, in case the enemy also had nine tricks like Xiao Jingxi. Wouldn't she just be killed by the neck?

"I'm not sure if you say that." Ren Yao's half-truth and half-truth.

Xiao Jingxi smiled and comforted: "The authorities are confused, and the bystanders are clear." ”

Xiao Jinglin glanced at Xiao Jingxi, then turned to Hongying and said, "It's time for him to take medicine, bring it up." ”

Xiao Jingxi: "......"

Ren Yaoqi glanced at Xiao Jinglin and couldn't help but want to laugh. She knew that Xiao Jinglin might be awkward, but she didn't know if Xiao Jingxi was angry that Xiao Jingxi was more sensitive than her, or angry that they only cared about talking to themselves and ignored her.

However, at this time, Xiao Jinglin finally had the appearance of a girl who was not many years old with her. Although Lord Xiao was awkward, he was expressionless and calm and calm.

Hongying immediately brought a bowl of medicine, and this speed made Ren Yaochi feel that they had been waiting for this opportunity for a long time.

Xiao Jingxi stared at the medicine bowl silently for a moment, and then calmly drank all the medicine in the bowl, not having the same knowledge as Xiao Jinglin.

Ren Yaoqi took advantage of the time when he was drinking the medicine and explained a few words to Xiao Jinglin.

After Hongying cleaned up the medicine bowl and went out, she came back and said that the shopkeeper had just come up and asked if he could serve the food.

They had been talking for a long time, and it was time to eat.

Xiao Jingxi nodded and ordered, "Pass it." ”

As soon as it came to eating, Xiao Jinglin immediately cheered up and said to Ren Yaoqi: "I said last time that I wanted to eat roast duck with you, and I don't want to be delayed by things." Tan Ji's roast duck is very famous, and there are still branches in Kyoto, but Xiao Jingxi said that the one in Kyoto is not as authentic as this one in Yunyang City. ”

Ren Yaoqi has never eaten Tan Ji roast duck in Yunyang City, but the one in Kyoto has eaten it. Mr. Pei likes Tan Ji's duck neck very much, and when he drinks at home on weekdays, he always doesn't forget to ask her to buy him a drink.

Thinking of these past events, Ren Yaoqi's expression was a little dazed. Compared with the more than ten years in Yanbei, the life in Kyoto and the years after the release with Mr. Pei were more impressive.

Xiao Jingxi noticed Ren Yaoqi's flash at that moment, and raised his eyebrows slightly.

The dishes came up quickly, it was Hongying and Xiao Jinglin's other maid who went out of the table to remove the cloth outside, and it was not a person from the restaurant, Ren Yaoqi believed that someone in the kitchen must be staring.

The last few times I had dinner with Xiao Jinglin, I didn't pay so much attention to it, Ren Yaochi couldn't help but glance at Xiao Jingxi, and then a little clear, and couldn't help but sigh that Yanbei Wangfu is really a strange place, and raising a son is much more elaborate than raising a daughter.

Xiao Jingxi was very keen, and Ren Yaoqi's gaze was immediately captured by him, and he couldn't help but feel a little inexplicable.

Xiao Jinglin saw that the layout outside was almost done, so she pulled Ren Yaoqi to get up, and then said to Xiao Jingxi expressionlessly: "She just thinks that you are too delicate, you are not easy to get along with without me, and you have no other meaning." ”

Ren Yaoqi silently skimmed his head.

County Lord, are you really kind enough to help me explain?

Ren Yaochi didn't know if Lu Dao was dazzled, she saw the green tendons on the corner of her forehead under Xiao Jingxi's perfect smile jump.

Ren Yaochi coughed lightly, feeling that he seemed to need to say a few words to ease the atmosphere: "I want to say thank you to Xiao Gongzi, because I have a female dependent, so he has to worry about it." She admits that she is the one who is delicate, not the son who is not easy to mess with.

However, Xiao Jinglin didn't appreciate it, and opened her mouth to say something, Ren Yaoqi was afraid that she would list what Xiao Jingxi's "delicate" things were, so she hurriedly pulled her to walk a few steps quickly, and interrupted with a smile: "I rarely eat in a restaurant outside, and I came out twice with the county lord." ”

Xiao Jinglin didn't continue, but followed her words: "There are not too many restaurants in Yunyang City that can eat, but there are only two or three, let's try it in the future." ”

Xiao Jingxi walked out slowly, and there was no embarrassment on his face.

Because they have men and women, and they are not all blood relatives, it is not good to eat at the same table. So the maids brought three desks, Ren Yaoqi and Xiao Jinglin's two desks were placed side by side, and Xiao Jingxi sat opposite, similar to the arrangements at some banquets.

Presumably, Xiao Jinglin doesn't like to eat like this, so she has a complaint about Xiao Jingxi's arrangement.

However, Ren Yaochi also felt that although there were no outsiders present except for the three of them and a few maids, the appropriate rules still had to be followed, and she didn't feel bad about Xiao Jingxi's arrangement. Because in general, she is still a person who follows the rules.

Tan Kee's signature dish is roast duck, which is served with crunchy naan slices, which will make your mouth flutter.

In addition to a plate of roast duck on her and Xiao Jinglin's low table, there are several other hot dishes, both meat and vegetables, and the colors are also beautiful.

As for Xiao Jingxi's table, the dishes on the table are extremely light, and you can't see any red, red, green and green colors at a glance, they are all written with clear soup and little water, and most of them are vegetarian.

Ren Yaochi remembered that Xiao Jingxi was not in good health, so he must have avoided eating on weekdays.

This meal was not uncomfortable, even with Xiao Jingxi present.

From the beginning to the end, Xiao Jingxi sat there quietly and lowered his head to eat, serving his own dishes, and did not let anyone serve him, and I don't know if it was because of what Xiao Jinglin said just now. (To be continued.) For mobile phone users, please read it on m.biquge.info. )
