She put away the small white porcelain jar, and she checked it inside and out, but found nothing else. Mrs. Shen loves cleanliness very much, even when people leave, the house is also clean, and even some corners are clean.

But I don't know how she recognized Uncle Beggar, and how she became a close friend? It's really puzzling.

This summer, he rode his horse back to the city, and as soon as he arrived at the city gate, he was stopped by two brocade guards. She recognized that these two people were Gao Qing's subordinates, and in terms of rank, they were higher than her little catcher, so she turned over and dismounted from the horse.

"Yuan Zhu, please come with us and go to meet an adult." The tone between the two of them was quite polite, and they didn't put up a fight in front of her.

Jin Xia was stunned: "Who are you seeing?" ”

"You don't have to ask, just go."

The two of them turned on their horses and led her all the way to the ferry outside the city, where they sent the horses and got into a small boat. The boatman didn't say a word, just rowed, and naturally he was also their man.

This summer asked a few more questions, and the two of them spoke very tightly, and never revealed the identity of the adult. Not long after, the boat that Lu Yi had pointed out to her that night appeared in her sight, quietly moored in the middle of the lake, and the boat broke through the waves and headed towards the boat.

It's him! A big shot from the capital?

Who is the person who wants to trample Lu Yi under his feet, and he is also very curious this summer.

The boat went all the way to the bottom of the boat, but the two brocade guards did not get on the boat, and when they boarded the cable ladder this summer, the boat reopened, leaving her alone.

"You ......"

This summer, I grabbed the cable ladder in my hand, and I couldn't shout it back, and when I thought about it, if there was an accident, it would be a big deal to jump into the water. With her water nature, from the center of the lake to the shore, it is not a problem.

Thinking like this, she had no fear in her heart and climbed up the cable ladder. Oddly enough, the ladder did not hang down from the deck, but from the third floor of the ship. She climbed all the way up until she crossed the railing and landed on the third-floor plank.

When she landed, the soles of her feet were soft, and she looked down to see that the ground was covered with shaggy gray squirrel skins, one next to the other, densely turned, covering all the planks she could see. Although leather goods are only fashionable outside the customs, the price in the customs is still not cheap, and now a gray squirrel skin under her feet is not worth the family's expenses for a year.

"What a loser...... "Jinxia shook his head inwardly.

Stepping on the squirrel skin, she stepped into the cabin, which was quiet, in fact, the whole ship seemed so quiet that no footsteps could be heard, perhaps because of the leather goods on the floor.

She walked cautiously forward, and among the layers of draperies, the cabin, which had not been very well lit, became darker and darker.

"Anyone?" This summer tentatively opened his mouth.

No one responded, and after a brief silence, she heard the sound of flint and steel, and soon the light burned deep in the curtains......

In the bright light, a figure is reflected on the drapery.

This summer, he could clearly see the movement of the figure, he took a hairpin from his head, picked the wick, and the fire was a little brighter.

"Humble to your lordship." She said aloud.

Still no one answered, the figure stuck the hairpin back on his head, took the teapot from the case in front of him, and began to pour tea, as the tea entered the cup, a faint fragrance of tea diffused in the room.

This summer, Fu said loudly: "Humble duties see adults. ”

He still ignored her, just poured the tea slowly.

This summer was suspicious, looking at it through the curtain for a while, I always felt that this person had an indescribable strangeness, and was about to lift the curtain and go up to see what was going on, but I saw him standing up.

Not only did he stand up, but he also held the cup of tea in his hand, and with the sound of clicking, he bypassed the table and walked straight towards her, where he went, the curtain split in two, and parted to both sides. It's good that he didn't come over, but when he left, he was shocked this summer, and that posture didn't look like he was walking, but like floating over, ghostly.

She glanced back, making sure there was still a way out.

The curtain parted from the last curtain in front of her, and the man slid in front of her, and the tea in his hand was handed to Jinxia - the hand serving the tea was made of copper and iron, the joints were delicate, as flexible as the bones of a real hand, and the teacup was firmly clamped, not moving.

He turned out to be a dummy!

He hung his head slightly, and this summer he turned his head to see his face, smooth and bright, made of porcelain clay, but quite exquisite.

The first time she saw such a delicate and realistic doll, she was so engrossed that she didn't take the teacup at all, and suddenly, the copper and iron hand let go of the teacup, and the hot tea splashed on the ground, and he suddenly raised his head, and the black hole eyes were facing this summer, making her staggered back in horror.

Behind her, someone held her up.

She was startled, and turned her head sharply, facing Lu Yi's slightly frowning brow.

"Your Excellency?!"

"Why are you here?" Lu Yi seemed to be worried about seeing her in the building boat.

"When I returned to the city, I met two of Gao Qing's men at the gate of the city, and they said that an adult wanted to see me, so he sent me here, but they themselves did not get on the boat. ”

Fortunately, it wasn't her own recklessness, Lu Yi secretly breathed a sigh of relief, but when she thought about it, she didn't know what the master wanted her to do here, and she couldn't help but raise her eyebrows again.

"My lord, look at this puppet, doesn't it look like that...... That's it. "Tug at his sleeve this summer.

Lu Yi naturally knew what she wanted to say, this puppet is much more elaborate than "love parting" in terms of workmanship and mechanism, but it has similarities. He sighed and pulled his sleeve out of his hand and replaced it with his hand.

Her hands were cool and slightly sweaty.

Was it frightened?

He glanced down at her without a trace: she was staring at the doll, biting her lip vigorously.

At this moment, the puppet that had been standing quietly suddenly moved, rushed forward, and then clicked backwards along the way it came. At the same time, the curtains in the house were raised, and when I looked up at the top of the house this summer, the round pipes were slowly turning and rolling up the curtains.

Several people poured in from the other end of the room, all barefoot girls.

Yingying's ankles are slender and fair, like delicate flowers blooming.

At the end of the day, there was only one person who walked slowly towards them.

"Humble position, see Lord Zuo Lang Yan." Lu Yi bowed to the man.

Lord Zuo Lang Yan? Yan Shifan!

This summer, he came back to his senses, and hurriedly bowed down: "...... See Lord Yan. ”

Yan Shifan said softly: "There is no need to be polite. Yan Yuan, I have checked the autumn eagle picture you sent, and it is indeed genuine. I didn't expect to be hidden by Qiu Luan's family, and I couldn't find it after looking for it for many years...... Don't take a seat yet! The latter sentence was addressed to the maid.

The maid moved two mahogany circle chairs and invited Lu Yihe to sit down this summer. Yan Shifan sat on the cushioned Taishi chair, there was nothing next to him, and after the maids turned around, warm tea, various tea fruits and so on were placed on the coffee table. This series of things was done, and not even the slightest murmur came out.

This summer, by drinking tea, peeking at Yan Shifan, it is strange to say, Yan Shifan, as a figure that everyone in the capital knows, she has lived in the capital for a long time, but it is the first time she has seen him in Yangzhou.

According to rumors in the capital, Yan Shifan has a short neck and is fat and white, and he is a big fat man. But at this time, it seems that this summer's skin is fair, it is true, a little whiter than the skin color of the maid standing next to him, but he is well-proportioned, and he should be slightly shorter than Lu Yi, but he can't be regarded as a short and fat person, and as for the rumors of fat head and big ears, it is even more inadequate.

He had a disease in one eye, and although both eyes were open, he could see that his right eye was more cloudy than his left, and that his eyeballs were dead and fixed, which was a little strange.

"Little girl, if you want to see my eyes, you can come closer." Yan Shifan took a slow sip of tea and glanced at this summer with his left eye.

Jin Xia hurriedly retracted his gaze, lowered his eyes and bowed his head: "Don't dare to be humble." ”

Lu Yi didn't look at her, and said to Yan Shifan: "She's just a six-door catcher, her behavior is rude, and she hasn't seen much of the world, so it's an eyesore here, so it's better to send her off the boat." ”

Hearing this, Yan Shifan smiled and said: "Don't worry, although this little girl is rude, but it is still a little interesting." I've heard that she's quite capable of investigating cases...... Come here, little girl. ”

This summer got up, cautiously walked forward only two steps, and stopped four or five steps away from Yan Shifan.

"What do you command?"

"The way I look today, the way I dress...... What can you discern that? He smiled, looking interested, and even lifted his robe up, "You can also look at the shoes." ”

"......" she froze, she never thought that Yan Shifan would ask her to analyze himself.

With Yan Shifan's identity and temperament, what can he say in front of him and what he can't say, this size of the grasp, I really don't know the bottom this summer, how dare I speak rashly.

Lu Yi smiled beside him: "My lord, you see her standing here, her legs are trembling, I don't know what I'm afraid of in my heart, where can I say that she is ugly." ”

This summer happened to follow his words, and said: "How can a lowly position and a lowly position equate an adult with a criminal, and it will never be possible." ”

Yan Shifan pondered for a moment and pointed to the maid beside him: "She! You say, don't excuse yourself. ”

This summer I looked at the maid and saw that she was no more than twenty-eight years old, with bright eyes and bright teeth, and she was very beautiful.

"You go over and let her take a closer look." Yan Shifan pushed the maid.

When his hand touched the maid's body, this summer did not miss the tension and sudden stiffness of the maid's face, obviously she was afraid of Yan Shifan, and every touch he made was very painful for her.

(Regarding the dolls, if you have the opportunity, you can go to the Shanghai Music Box Museum to visit, there is a clown puppet in it that impresses me deeply: a clown lights up an oil lamp and writes a letter at the table, and when he writes halfway through, he gets sleepy, and the oil lamp dims with his sleepiness, and when the clown comes to his senses, the oil lamp also shines, which is really interesting.) ）
