CHAPTER XXIX

The piano sounded for a while, and then there was silence for a while. Yang Yue is sad when there is the sound of the piano, and he is even more sad when there is no sound of the piano, and it is really pitiful to watch him this summer.

It is estimated that after half an hour, the rain has gradually stopped, Lu Yifang returned from the building boat, and seemed to be in a good mood, seeing that he had eaten most of the shortbread on the plate this summer, he didn't say anything, just asked them all to come into the cabin.

The two boats gradually separated, and Yang Yue reluctantly watched the ship sail away before slowly entering the cabin.

Lu Yi sat down in his robe, and when he saw that everyone had come in, he said, "Let's talk about it, did you find any clues in this Zhai girl?" ”

Gao Qing was stunned, he had only been on the boat for half a cup of tea, he had never interrogated, he had not looked around, he really couldn't talk about any clues, and Lu Yi was quite fond of Zhai Lanye, so he hesitated for a moment before saying: "My lord forgives the sin, I didn't find out about my humble duties, judging from her words and demeanor, this Zhai girl doesn't seem to know about the river repair." ”

Lu Yi nodded, and turned his gaze to Jin Xia and Yang Yue: "You guys? ”

Yang Yue shook his head, he didn't even want to say anything right now.

This summer kindly reminded him: "My lord, you have been with her for half an hour, and if you want to tell you clues, you should know more than us." ”

"So......" Lu Yi raised his eyebrows, "Do you want me to report to you now?" ”

β€œβ€¦β€¦ I don't dare to do it. ”

Lu Yi narrowed his eyes slightly, signaling that his patience was limited.

This summer had to swallow slowly: "There are not many clues, I can only see that Miss Zhai is quite nostalgic and treats the maid very well." She lived very close to the dock, probably by the lake, and she had been sneaking out in the rain lately, and she had suffered a bit of a cold. Also, with all due respect, Miss Zhai is most likely restrained by others, and she has to meet dignitaries and dignitaries, and she should have other plans for adults. ”

Lu Yi was not annoyed, and said lightly: "How can you say this?" ”

"Her breadwinner is not short of silver, but she wants her to swim in the lake while sick, isn't it something else for adults?" I asked him this summer.

Gao Qing snorted and said, "It's just an occasional cold, it's not a big deal." ”

This summer glanced at him: "Occasional wind chill is naturally nothing to ordinary people, but she is born with a damaged heart pulse, and this wind chill can be very sinful to her." ”

"She was born with a damaged heart? How do you know the way? Gao Qing was puzzled.

"Every time she coughs, it touches her heart, which is different from ordinary wind and cold coughs, can't you see it?"

"And how can you tell that she lives close to the docks?" Gao Qing asked again.

β€œβ€¦β€¦ I really envy you, you don't have to think too much about it, as long as you can torture you. Jin Xia muttered a few sentences before explaining, "Miss Zhai's shoes and socks are very clean, but there are mud spots on her maid's shoes, so they sit in a sedan chair before they get on the boat." If it's a long distance, they'll take a horse-drawn carriage. There were five or six scratches on the upper of Ms. Zhai's shoes, apparently caused by the maid's carelessness when scraping off a large number of mud spots. For a delicate and weak girl like her, such a large number of mud spots can only be contaminated when she goes out on a rainy day, and she does not sit in a sedan chair or a carriage, so she goes out quietly. ”

Gao Qingleng paused for a long time before he said, "...... It costs two thousand taels of silver to marry her, which is obviously the breadwinner wants to use her to make money, how can you say that there is no shortage of silver to support the family. ”

Jin Xia looked at him helplessly: "Brother, the red musk bead curtain alone on the boat is more than two thousand taels of silver, not to mention the square piano she plays." ”

Gao Qing was speechless, so he had to make an appearance of understanding and nodded.

Lu Yi couldn't see any emotion on his face, his fingers lightly tapped the armrest of the circle chair a few times, and said, "So, what do you think she wants to do with me?" ”

This summer shrugged: "It's hard to say, her adoptive family is the prefect's brother-in-law, and he should be comfortable enough on the Yangzhou territory." My lord, you are from Beijing, and you have a good tire, maybe he wants to drill in the capital. ”

Lu Yi looked at Gao Qing: "Go and find out this brother-in-law, when he adopted Miss Zhai, who are Miss Zhai's biological parents, who she has come into contact with, and the real estate in his name." ”

"Humble duty understands."

The boat was slowly sailing on the way back, Yang Yue still had no energy, and he tried to tease him from time to time this summer, but unfortunately he couldn't do it. When she said ten words, he said "uh-huh" at most. After a while, seeing that the ship was about to dock, she sighed, patted him on the shoulder and said, "You are like this, the leader will definitely be suspicious when you see it, you should pretend to be good and be in good spirits." ”

After hearing this, Yang Yue rubbed his face violently with his hand, and the force was quite strong, and the entire rough skin was rubbed red.

"I don't want to, what's the use of thinking!" He said fiercely.

Although he said that he didn't want to, there was still an iron bump between his eyebrows, which showed that he was not right.

It's hard to say anything this summer, so I just followed him: "That's it, let's think about serious things." What will we eat later? The head will have to break his muscles and bones in two days, should he make up for it first? I don't have enough money here, but we can go to the woods outside the city to hunt pheasants and ducks or something, and if we're lucky, we might be able to hunt hares......"

The boat slowly docked, and Lu Yi did not give any other orders, and the group went straight back to the official post. Yang Yue told Yang Chengwan about the things on the boat, what kind of person Yang Chengwan was, and how could Yang Yue hide the strangeness he inadvertently revealed every time he said the word "Miss Zhai".

"Isn't it because of that woman?" He looked at Yang Yue and asked lightly.

Yang Yue was stunned, he didn't expect to be seen through by his father so soon, and he didn't know how to respond for a while.

Jinxia hurriedly interjected: "Boss, haven't you seen that Miss Zhai is really good-looking, and Da Yang just looked at her twice." That Lord Lu, look at her so straight that he touches her hand without saying a word, he is simply a hungry ghost! ”

"Xia'er......" Yang Chengwan frowned.

"Really, don't look at him pretending to be sanctimonious in the day, seeing Sister Shangguan is about to talk behind closed doors, and he said less than half a pillar of incense, we heard movement inside, as soon as we entered, guess what...... His hands were all on Sister Shangguan's waist! It's just a pervert. ”

She was talking lively, but she didn't know that she was standing outside the window. He had something to order, and he didn't want to hear this, so he thought about it for a moment, and instead of going in to reprimand her, he turned around and left. This summer, I only heard the sound of footsteps outside, thinking that it was a miscellaneous servant in the official post, but I didn't think much about it.

After half a cup of tea, Gao Qing came over, called Jin Xia out and asked: "Lord Lu has something to ask, the charter boat today is a total of two taels of silver, plus the tea and snacks on the ship, even if it is three dollars of silver, he has temporarily advanced for you, and asked when you plan to repay the two?" ”

Standing on the spot this summer, the whole person was petrified from head to toe, and it took a long time to come back to his senses and ask in a low voice: "This boat, this boat...... Isn't it what Lord Lu wants to rent himself? Why do you want us to pay now? ”

"I don't know what to say, I'm just asking for adults."

It's just something else, only this silver is worrying, just renting a boat costs two or three dollars, this is not a small amount, and it is difficult to talk to Lord Liu to report the account. She turned around anxiously, feeling that this matter was a bit wronged, and decided to talk to Lu Yi.

The door was open, she hesitated for a moment, did not dare to push the door, but stood outside the door in a proper manner, knocked on the door in a proper manner, and spoke in a proper manner.

"Lord Lu, I want to report something from my humble position, I wonder if it is convenient for you?"

β€œβ€¦β€¦ Come on in. He said lightly.

This summer rubbed his cheeks with his hands, moved his chin, and then pulled out a smile like a spring flower, and walked in.

Inside, Lu Yi had already changed into his homely robe, his half-old moon-white body was straight, loosely knotted with green silk, and he was standing in front of the bookcase looking down at something......

"Lord Lu?" Asked tentatively this summer.

"Wait."

Lu Yi didn't even raise his eyes, staring at the case intently.

This summer had to take care of it and wait obediently. The room was quiet, only the sound of Lu Yi's fingers rubbing on the paper could be heard, she followed the sound carefully, he was looking at a map that seemed to be a map, the streets were crisscrossed, it should be a map of a certain town.

After waiting for a long time, I didn't see Lu Yi raise his eyes, standing this summer, but he didn't feel that his legs were sore, but the smile on his face was a little unbearable.

After a long time of tea, Lu Yi raised his head, glanced at her, and was busy facing her with a smile this summer.

"What's the matter?" He lowered his head, straightened his sleeves, and asked casually.

"Lord Lu, just now Gao Qing came to ask me when the two taels and three coins of silver for renting a boat will be returned, I think it is an adult's idea to rent a fragrant boat, how can I ask us to return the silver, he must have heard it." This summer said with a smile.

Lu Yi raised his eyes, looked at her and said calmly: "He heard it right." ”

β€œβ€¦β€¦ This ......" half of this summer's smiling face collapsed, and the other half still stubbornly persisted, "My lord, thisβ€”This is not appropriate......

"What's not the right fit?" Lu Yi turned out from the bookcase, "You came to me to borrow money, saying that you wanted to rent a boat to investigate the case, right?" ”

β€œβ€¦β€¦ Yes, that's right, but I didn't say that I wanted to rent an incense boat, the incense boat is so expensive, I can't repay it to Lord Liu. This summer barely accompanied the smiling face, "Actually, the incense boat is rented by you, and Miss Zhai wants to see you, is this fare ......?"

Before she finished speaking, she was interrupted by Lu Yi: "Reasoning, come to Jiangnan to handle this case, I am the co-organizer." Whether it's renting a boat or seeing Miss Zhai, it's all about assisting you in handling the case. Now, you are also on the boat, Miss Zhai, you have also seen it, you have the clues to the case, you have eaten most of the pastries, but I have to pay for the fare, where is this kind of reason. ”

This summer's face has completely stepped down.

β€œβ€¦β€¦ Iβ€”I've just eaten a few pieces......"

Lu Yi looked at her and said slowly: "Be kind." ”

Who the hell isn't kind?!
