The fire was completely extinguished, the sky was almost bright, Hua Xiangrong had burned out of shape, fortunately no one was injured, a few men who were keeping vigil moved quickly, and rescued the finished clothes, but the cloth inside was burned, even if it was not turned into ashes, it was already broken, smoked and unusable, and those precious lace and silk fabrics were completely destroyed.

Song Lingyue asked the guy who was keeping vigil about the cause of the fire, and the guy said that he had carefully checked before going to bed, and did not find any hidden danger of fire, who knew that not long after he fell asleep, he was woken up by the smoke, and several people saw that it was on fire, so they desperately went out to save things, and before they could save the cloth inside, the beams collapsed, and they didn't dare to go in again, so they had to find the nearest tailor Xie who lived, and asked him to send someone to inform Song Lingyue.

Song Lingyue trusted the character of these guys, they would never lie, listening to their description of the situation at the time, they smelled the smoke first, and only when they came out did they see that it was on fire, then the fire was burned from the outside, not an internal fire, it seemed that it was deliberately set on fire.

After thinking about it, if it wasn't for Nicholas Chen's instructions, it was that she inadvertently offended someone, so someone deliberately set fire to her shop and destroyed it, and the latter is more likely.

Although Nicholas Chen's methods are a little ruthless, he is a commander anyway, and it is inevitable to use means in major matters, and he has an upright way to deal with her small shop, there is no need to hide it like this, and use this kind of means of losing his identity.

If it's an offense, it's hard to say, there are so many clothing shops in Kyoto, each of them may have a feud with her, and it's not impossible to set a fire to take revenge on her, but in this way, it will be difficult to find out who is behind the scenes.

She is running Hua Xiangrong in the name of Young Master Rong, so naturally she can't ask for help from Nicholas Chen, nor can she ask for help from the rich friends she made in Jinkaimen, so she can only admit that she is unlucky, and she must pay more attention in the future.

After appeasing the men who were on the vigil and letting them all go back to rest, she followed Tailor Xie to rummage through the ruins to see if the sewing machine could still be used, the thing was made of steel, such a fire would not burn out, and it should still work if someone was found to repair it.

After dawn, Song Lingyue asked people to report to the police department, whether it was useful or not, report to the police department, and find out the arsonist in the future, so as to get a result.

At noon, Song Lingyue dragged her tired body home, Hua Xiangrong was ruined, there are still many orders that have not been completed, the fabric is gone, and many things have to be repurchased, the problem is that the store is burned to an empty shelf, and it takes time to re-trim, and there is no place to make clothes at the moment, and delivery is a problem.

After lunch, the police department called, because Hua Xiangrong was already famous, the police department checked carefully, but it was determined that it was deliberately set on fire, but no other useful information was found, not a single suspect could not be found, the police guessed a few possibilities, Song Lingyue felt that it was not helpful, thanked him, and did not ask again.

Rong's mother saw that she had been sullen since she came back, washed a plate of fruits, and came to her bedroom, Song Lingyue was lying on the table writing and drawing, and when she heard the movement, she raised her head.

"Godmother, why are you doing such a job, I found a maid just to let you rest, sit down." Song Lingyue got up and took the fruit bowl and helped Rong's mother sit down.

Rong's mother shook her hand and said with a smile: "It's okay, I'm not tired, but it's you, who have been running around all morning and haven't eaten a few bites of lunch, is there something wrong?" ”

Song Lingyue felt uncomfortable in her heart, but she couldn't help but tell her about Hua Xiangrong's fire, Rong's mother didn't know the way to do business, and she couldn't think of anything useful, so she comforted her a few words, told her to rest well, asked her not to think about it, and left the bedroom.

After pondering at home for a long time, Song Lingyue decided to change the location of making clothes to her own home first, complete the order in her hand first, and then the store will not be repaired, and then find a new place, this time to find a big place, but also to find a conspicuous one.

After making up her mind, Song Lingyue notified the tailor and his men on the same day, asking them to move to work at home, anyway, there are enough rooms, a place to make clothes and a place to live, and even meals can be made in the kitchen at home, which is more convenient than the store.

Early the next morning, Song Lingyue took Tailor Xie to buy all the fabrics and equipment she needed, naturally, she spent a lot of money, and even withdrew a lot of bank deposits, which made her feel pain for a long time, but fortunately, she could start work.

stayed up until midnight that day, Song Lingyue took the maids at home to help catch up with the work, and finally caught up with the delayed progress.

The speed of making clothes caught up, and Nicholas Chen's affairs could not be delayed, and the next afternoon, Song Lingyue disguised herself as a man again, took a messenger from the family as a follower, and went to Miaoyin Garden.

The Miaoyin Garden was full of friends, and Song Lingyue spent a lot of money to buy two tickets, so she got a position in the hall that was almost lined up at the door, and sat down with the messenger.

After inquiring, I found out that there was actually Shaotang's play today, and the popular Tsing Yi of Miaoyin Garden partnered together, and they wanted to sing a "Nanke Ji".

Shaotang has not been on stage for a long time, and it is rumored that he will not sing anymore, I don't know why he is on stage again, there is his name, so many people have attracted to see, and all the celebrities in Kyoto have come, and the boxes on both floors are full.

Song Lingyue sat down, as soon as the gongs and drums sounded on the stage, "The Legend of Nanke" began, and Chun Yudi, played by Shaotang, came on stage, looking very handsome.

"The purple horse hisses into the falling flowers, and when will the east wind blow the dream to wake up."

Shaotang's voice is bright, his singing voice is mellow, as soon as the first words came out, someone at the bottom actually shouted hello, and Song Lingyue almost shouted out, but because of politeness, she couldn't help it.

It has been more than a year since she and Shaotang parted ways, and they met again, but they didn't expect it to be on this occasion, he sang opera, and she was a spectator, as if she was in a different world, and she felt a lot of emotion for a while.

After the first scene was sung, Shaotang went down to rest, Song Lingyue wanted to see him and ask him if he was doing well, but when she saw that she was dressed as a man, she suddenly remembered that she was no longer the Song Lingyue she used to be, and when she saw Shaotang, she didn't know how to explain it, so she had to dispel this idea, and asked the messenger to send a flower basket and purse in the name of Young Master Rong, and then returned to the hall.

After finishing the errand, she returned to her seat and waited for the second scene to start, Song Lingyue took advantage of the gap and began to wander around the box, wanting to see if Xia Yeqing had come, even if she didn't talk to him, she had to pretend to inquire, as if Nicholas Chen had made a mistake.

The box on the first floor turned around, and he didn't find his shadow, Song Lingyue tiptoed up to the second floor again, and saw that there were no two boxes, and he was almost noticed, Song Lingyue ran a few steps away, hid at the door of a box with a closed door, and gasped for breath on her chest.

When she was frightened, the door of the box was slammed open, and Song Lingyue stumbled and almost fell in, but fortunately she grabbed the door frame, so she didn't make a fool of herself.

"What for? Hide in the door and sneak around. ”

A pair of big leather boots appeared in sight, Song Lingyue didn't need to look at it to hear this person's voice, rough voice, who else besides Adjutant Zhang, no need to ask, that enemy Xia Yeqing must be inside.

She clutched her hat tightly, glanced in secretly, and suddenly her face turned red, Xia Yeqing sat on the soft seat, holding a woman in costume in her arms, talking and laughing with the people next to her, the one wearing the costume was actually the one who played Princess Yaofang on stage just now.

Song Lingyue gritted her teeth, this summer night is clear, she is still restless after marrying her wife, and she doesn't even let go of Miaoyinyuan singing, she is really a beast, just let Chen Tingfeng kill him.

Adjutant Zhang saw this little man bent over and was stunned for a long time, stomped his feet, and asked again, "What about you!" What for? ”

Song Lingyue didn't dare to raise her head, pinched her throat, and said in a rough voice: "I'm sorry, I went to the wrong place, so I'll go." He turned and left the doorway.

Before he went far, he heard Xia Yeqing's deep voice sounding, "Adjutant Zhang, who is at the door?" ”

Adjutant Zhang chuckled, "It's nothing, I don't know the little rabbit cub in the box, he has walked through the place, and he has already left." Then there was a slamming of the door.

Song Lingyue secretly breathed a sigh of relief, fortunately she didn't catch up, otherwise it would have been miserable, and secretly slandered the adjutant Zhang, "You are the little rabbit cub, Xia Yeqing is also a little rabbit cub, no, it's just a hooligan!" ”

In the box, Xia Yeqing drank a glass of wine that others had given her, put down the cup, casually pushed away the person in her arms, and said lightly: "I have something to discuss, you should go on stage." ”

Bai Peony rolled up his sleeves, nodded, walked to the door, turned around again, and asked reluctantly, "Chief, when will you come next?" I'm going to sing "Peach Blossom Fan" in a few days, can you come here? Would you like them to leave you a private room? ”

This is a disguised invitation to Xia Yeqing to send her money, this is also the rule of the play, but whenever there is her play, the person who holds it must send a basket to a purse, and the purse cannot be less.

Xia Yeqing didn't have much interest in this white peony, but it was sent by someone else, and she acted twice on the spot, in front of so many people, it was not good for her to get off the stage, so she said casually, "Keep it!" Even if I don't come, someone else will come. "That's what happened.

Bai Peony smiled and left the box with interest.

The people in the box toasted Xia Yeqing a few more glasses of wine, and the offstage drama started again, and everyone stopped drinking and concentrated on listening to the play with Xia Yeqing.

Adjutant Zhang took the opportunity to walk up to Xia Yeqing, leaned into his ear, and said in a low voice: "Chief Chief, I saw Nicholas Chen's people just now, but I didn't see him in person, do you want to give them some color?" ”

Xia Yeqing waved his hand, "No need, we're just here to listen to the play, there's no need to cause trouble." ”

Adjutant Zhang nodded, and was about to sit back in his place, Xia Yeqing said again, "However, the kid at the door just now was a little suspicious, you send someone to check and see where he came from." ”

Adjutant Zhang smiled disdainfully, "It's just a little rabbit cub, that little hand is more tender than the white peony, and you can't do anything if you have a way, there's no need for this, right?" ”

Xia Yeqing touched his chin and said meaningfully: "You are wrong, the little rabbit cub is the most likely to do bad things, if the little white face is bad, it is bad." ”

Adjutant Zhang understood, nodded in response, "Okay, I'll send someone to investigate!" ”
