Three days later, in the early morning, the dew drops dripped from the young leaves, slowly slid off the tip of the knife, and the person holding the handle of the knife stabbed steadily outward, the dew bounced into the air, Ning Xiaoxiao dodged the blade with a backflip, raised her foot and kicked the blade, and propped the whole knife into the air.

Chen You looked at the sky-facing horse of the person in front of him, and asked expressionlessly, "Your legs are so open, doesn't it hurt?" ”

"It hurts." Ning Xiaoxiao suddenly grimaced, leaning on the pillar, her legs trembling uncontrollably.

Suddenly, Tatsuna's right knife was across his neck.

"Why are you hiding from me, didn't you say that you could find out who she was in half a day?"

"Well..."

Ning Xiaoxiao scratched her head weakly and turned her face with embarrassment.

Seeing this, Chen You withdrew the knife and said with an indifferent face:

"Actually, I know how much you are capable of, since I can't find out..."

Chen You was just about to turn around, but Ning Xiaoxiao put one hand on his shoulder and stopped him, her eyes were much more serious.

"Who said you can't find out, after knowing the truth, you must not regret it."

"Regrets?" Chen Right looked at him slightly sideways, "What do you mean by that?" ”

Ning Xiaoxiao sat him down, pulled up her long hair, and said as she walked:

"The woman you said, I went to the palace to ask, and the father-in-law revealed that in the imperial garden that day, the woman wearing a pink and purple dress and an orchid hosta on her head was only the disfigured future thirteen imperial concubines."

"Disfigured? That's not her. ”

Chen Youzheng felt strange, and Ning Xiaoxiao's next sentence answered his doubts.

"It's her, because she hasn't been disfigured at all, and later, according to Lord Ben's spies, not long after the thirteenth prince sent the masked princess back to the house, a woman in disguise went out of the back door, do you know where she went?"

"Don't sell it, where is it?" Chen You was actually a little anxious.

"Yan Mansion, the future thirteenth imperial concubine is the eldest lady of the Yan family."

Hearing this, Chen You's heart suddenly sank, she was actually the rumored Miss Yan family.

"Tatsuyou? Tatsuyou-sama? ”

Ning Xiaoxiao stretched out five fingers and shook them in front of his eyes, and the other party seemed to have lost his mind, silent and unresponsive.

"Actually, you don't have to be disappointed, I'll tell you a secret." He pretended to mysteriously leaned into Chen's right ear and said, "This eldest lady of the Yan family not only has a bad reputation, but she is also two years older than you." ”

Chen You suddenly turned his face and almost kissed Ning Xiaoxiao, and both of them were startled.

"Okay, are you idle? With this kind of gossip, it is better to investigate a few more cases. ”

Ning Xiaoxiao pursed her lips and raised her eyes to stare at him.

Changing his face has become so fast, where is the good young man who had a budding spring heart at the beginning?

"Okay, it's nothing, go and review your official documents, I'm going to patrol the streets, there has been a flower thief in the main city recently, and no one can be caught for a day, and the people will not be at peace for a day."

"Oh."

Ning Xiaoxiao turned around, whistled, and walked towards the case room, Yu Guanggang saw the figure of Chen You leaving, turned around slowly, and went back to the room to sleep lazily.

Although there are rumors of flower thieves, the main city is still prosperous, and the people should still eat and drink, as if it has no effect.

In the market, there are people coming and going, and there is an endless stream.

"Did you hear that? The eldest lady of the Yan family is back, and kind-hearted people just look different, like a little girl of sixteen, seven, eight. "Aunt Cai, who sells vegetables, is happy.

"Come back? Don't you hear that she has been going out of her house all the time, studying poetry and songs? Yingniang picked up Aunt Cai's cabbage and carefully picked and chosen.

"It's not closed, she went to Liqian City to worship her ancestors before, and she only came back a few days ago, this news is genuine, it was told to me by Aunt Lu, who sells chickens in the city."

Hearing this, Yingniang said disdainfully in a sharp voice.

"Cut, the chicken seller's words must be credible?"

"However, people are specially providing live chickens for the Yan family's back kitchen, and they are making a big deal, are you credible?"

Aunt Cai picked up the scale and was about to weigh it, when Ying Niangman urged:

"You can hurry up, I'll hurry to the gate of Yan's Mansion to see if the living Bodhisattva is really as good-looking as you said."

"Eh, five cents." Aunt Cai took the copper coin and grabbed Yingniang, "Go to Yan's Mansion to do something, Huang Po, who sells melons, said that the eldest lady of the Yan family is looking for a medicine shop, go to East Street, and see you." ”

A certain person who was patrolling with an official knife suddenly stopped, looked over, and walked thoughtfully towards East Street.

At this time, Shun Hua was standing in front of the Baizi cabinet, stretching out his fingers and pointing at the medicinal materials in the cabinet in an orderly manner.

"That, that, that, Master Ben... Miss Ben wants them all, and she wants as many as she has in the store. ”

"Come on, I'll wrap it up for the eldest lady right away."

The old uncle in charge of picking up the medicine in the pharmacy is a lot older, and his speech and hands and feet are a little slow, but he can take down all the medicinal materials that Shunhua just seemed to be pointing at randomly, and there is no mistake or omission.

Although he is old, he is also a talent.

The familiar voice suddenly sounded in her ears, and she suddenly turned around, only to find a stranger in front of her.

"Nux nux, licorice, clematis, astragalus... It is full of medicinal materials that reduce swelling and relieve pain, and invigorate blood circulation, but there are people in Miss's family who have inconvenient waist and legs? ”

Waist and leg inconvenience?

yes, it's not that she has a leg injury, she has to do it with this.

"No, I bought the wrong one, and I don't want all the medicinal materials I just took." She said coldly.

Frost hurriedly pulled her clothes and said in a coquettish voice: "Miss, no, the old uncle who can pick up the medicine will have to distribute the wrapped medicine bag back, how pitiful he is, Frost confused the beans last time, and it was not divided until midnight, which is very eye-consuming." ”

"Alright, then I'll give you all the wrapping." Shunhua turned around and walked out of the pharmacy.

"Eh, why do you want to give the medicine for leg and foot inconvenience to Frost? Miss, you're not hinting at breaking Frost's legs, are you? The silly girl chased her all the way out.

"Miss Yan."

Chen You couldn't help but call her out, and his voice was as smooth and quiet as a dragonfly falling on the water.

"But I disturbed Miss Yan, so you don't want those medicinal herbs?"

Shunhua frowned slightly, thinking that the person in front of him was here to find fault?

"Miss Ben has already asked for those medicinal herbs, and they will send them to the house later, this lord, do you know me?"

Chen You suddenly realized that he was a little abrupt, and hurriedly said:

"This official and Miss Yan have had a relationship, in the palace, on the bridge, Sipa."

As soon as the last word landed, Shunhua remembered that someone in the palace had picked up a veil for her, and this person actually recognized her.

"My lord, I am mistaken, Miss Ben has not... Entered the palace. ”

Shunhua deliberately emphasized, and at the same time was also tentative.

If you are willing to lie, it's okay to say, if you don't want to, Xiao Thirteen will be terrible now.

"That's the official who misremembered." Chen You smiled gently, "Then let's get to know it again, in Xia Chenyou, it is the right servant of the Criminal Department,"

"The people of the Criminal Department..."

Shunhua nodded, but his eyes were attracted by the two people next to him.

A young man is supporting a gray-haired grandmother, who seems to be warm, but in fact it is weird.

"Grandma, you believe me, as long as you eat this bottle of rejuvenation powder, you can cure any disease, acne, white hair, melasma, even internal rheumatism and bone pain, vitiligo, thirst, even if someone in your family is paralyzed, as long as you flush it, a dose will be fine."

"Really, isn't it expensive?" The old woman nodded and asked innocently.

The young man in the showman's hat grinned and gestured three fingers.

"It's not expensive, it's just three hundred taels."

"Three hundred taels? The old body... There is not so much money. ”

The old woman poked her pocket, looking a little pitiful.

"Don't be afraid, seeing that you look so kind, and a little like my own grandmother, bet this jade bracelet to me, and when you have money, it's not too late to redeem it."

After that, the young man was about to reach out and drag the old woman's jade bracelet.

"Slow, Miss Ben can't look at it."

Chen You, who was full of seriousness, was thinking about going over, but he didn't expect the eldest lady of the Yan family to take a step ahead of him and walk over.

Shunhua snatched the medicine bottle with one hand, poured the white and gray medicine on his hand, and rubbed it, his nose was full of sandalwood fragrance.

She teased coldly: "I didn't expect that flour with incense burner ash can cure acne, white hair, melasma, and even paralysis?" Your flour has been brightened. ”

Hearing this, the person who wore a Xiucai hat that didn't look like Xiucai was a little panicked, and looked at the crowd around in surprise.

"You, who are you? What nonsense is there here? Everyone, don't believe her, she's just an illiterate. ”

"Miss Ben? Miss Ben is a person who owns sixteen pharmacies in Wanqiong Country, and she dares to swagger in front of our Yan family's pharmacies? Believe it or not, I'll report to the police to arrest you? ”

Shun Hua suddenly remembered that the right attendant of the criminal department was standing beside him, hurriedly pulled him over, and then pointed at the liar.

"Yes, you are the official, come and arrest him."

Seeing that the situation was not right, the liar hurriedly pushed Shunhua's hand, and the flour in the medicine bottle suddenly spilled on Chen's right face, and when Shunhua turned his head to look, he hurriedly caught the grandmother who wanted to escape.

Chen You wiped the flour on his eyes with his sleeve and asked suspiciously, "Why did you catch this old man?" ”

"Because, they are a group, Miss Ben has never seen an old man with white hair on the outside and black on the inside, and there is no wrinkle at all, although this person is bowed, but his neck is to the back, and his spine is not protruding, and he knows that he is pretending at a glance."

"Miss, Shuangshuang doesn't understand, why did this person pretend to be a grandmother and be deceived into a bracelet?"

"If you want to attract more people like you who can't see the situation clearly, come and buy medicine, come here, tie up this person, and let Lord Youlang take it back as a souvenir."

As a souvenir?

Chen You wiped the flour on his face, but his vision was still blurry.

As soon as the words fell, a few strong guys came out of the pharmacy, and the man who was pretending to be an old man stood trembling in place, tied up like a hairy crab, and stuffed into Chen's right hand with a dazed face.

"Wow!" Shunhua turned his head to look and saw the extraordinary man in front of him with a white flour face, like a freshly kneaded sugar man.

"Frost, Sipa."

"Oh."

Yan Shuangshuang obediently pulled out the silk handkerchief of the belt and handed it to Shunhua's outstretched hand.

This resolute woman stepped forward slowly, helped Chen You wipe the flour around her eyes, stuffed the silk handkerchief into his hand, and said chicly: "Fortunately, the little woman Yan Shunhua has seen Lord Chen You." ”

With that, the woman smiled, turned around, and gradually disappeared into the noisy crowd, leaving only a faint fragrance of flowers.

Chen You pulled the liar who was tied up by the five flowers, and was stunned in place, still holding the silk handkerchief that had just been rubbed with flour in his hand.

*

In the evening, Shunhua, who finished patrolling the store, was so tired that she almost slept in the sedan chair, and her eyelids were so heavy that she couldn't lift them.

However, a certain silly girl shouted energetically: "Miss, look, look, someone has sent you a lot of gifts, Hongdangdang, in front of our Yan Mansion." ”

"A gift from Red Dangdang?" She said with her eyes half-open.

When the sedan chair stopped, Shunhua, who was tired and had a sore back, walked out of the sedan chair, looked at the big red happy words all over the ground, and said in surprise: "My good frost, this is not like a gift, but like a dowry." ”
