Xue Congjia didn't speak, walked straight to the opposite side, and told the vendor that he wanted a purple rice steamed cake, a mung bean one, and an osmanthus flavored one.

The seller of steamed cakes is a little girl of five or six years old, born with a little disability and can't hear sounds, she should be setting up a stall with her parents, but she doesn't know where the adults have gone at the moment.

The little girl's dirty face pointed to her ear with her finger to signal that Xue Congjia couldn't hear, Xue Congjia squatted down, pointed to the steamed cake of three colors, and gestured another finger.

Then the little girl made a gesture of six, which meant a total of six copper plates, and Xue Congjia counted out six copper plates from his waist bag and put them in the girl's palm.

Chu Tao looked very interesting on the other side, Xue Congjia didn't hate it so much when he didn't speak, he was so good-looking, the women on the street turned their heads to look at him, and some people threw flowers at Xue Congjia from the street, Chu Tao's eyes narrowed with a smile, she was very proud, this is the person she likes!

Xue Congjia took a crumpled lotus leaf wrapped in three steamed cakes and handed it to Chu Tao, who caught it with his hand and pretended to be kind and asked, "Why have you been there for so long, do you want to eat it?" ”

Xue Congjia said: "I don't eat. ”

Chu Tao said: "Don't eat and pull down." ”

A girl can eat the pastries in five or six bites, she Jiang Chutao has two bites, quickly solved three steamed cakes, patted the crumbs on her hands with satisfaction, and said to Xue Congjia: "Thank you for inviting me to eat cakes, how about I invite you to eat next time." ”

Xue Congjia said: "Can you wipe your mouth clean." ”

Although Chu Tao was very rough, he still carried such a thing as a handkerchief, so he took out his handkerchief and wiped it on his mouth, approached Xue Congjia, and said with a smile: "There is no such thing as this time." ”

Xue Congjia dodged a little and said, "You walk well, don't be hit." ”

At this time, it is already the time of late autumn and early winter, the north is not warmer than the south, and the air is already a little cool, but the afternoon is very full, and the temperature is also very suitable.

The market is not more prosperous than Jinling, but it is also very clean and spacious, the peddlers and pawns are shouting on the street, Chu Tao and Xue Congjia stepped on the thick layer of fallen leaves on the ground, and the two slowly walked towards the residence.

Xue Congjia is not a very good listener, a good listener always has to give a lot of responses to the confidant, but along the way, it was Chu Tao who was talking, and Xue Congjia was still silent and occasionally accosted.

"Xue Congjia, when do you think this case will end? Why can you find the underground casino of Xie Dong's family, but Dali Temple and the Criminal Department can't, is it really impossible or they don't dare? Chu Tao asked suddenly.

Chu Tao's suspicions are not unreasonable, even the three kings can pretend that there is no progress in the case, are the people in the court really straw bales?

As soon as the deadline for investigating the case arrives, both parties can push out one person to take the blame at will, and even the three kings can pull Zhao Tieniu out to take the blame, what are everyone hiding together?

In such a case, fundamentally speaking, what the truth is is no longer so important, what matters is what the emperor wants the truth to be, whether the emperor can make the truth public, Chu Tao's words can be regarded as to the point.

Chu Tao is not stupid, Xue Congjia thought so, he said: "They are not fools, and your emperor of Dongyi is not stupid. The reason why we can continue to investigate is also with the tacit consent of your Dongyi Emperor, not that they can't find out anything. ”

Chu Tao nodded silently, the reason why she asked this was that she was actually looking forward to the case being closed as soon as possible, and after a long time, she was also a little worried about her father's attitude, and she was afraid that they would kick her out of the Jiang family directly. Chu Tao, who was shouting that he was going to run away from home, was not afraid of the sky and the earth, but he couldn't do it at the moment.

"You've been out playing for a few days, so why don't you go back early." How smart Xue Congjia was, how could he not know Chu Tao's worries.

"I'm not here to play, I'm here to catch you back. If you don't go back with me, I won't go back first. Chu Tao was so angry that his cheeks were bulging.

Xue Congjia was about to say something, when he suddenly saw a familiar figure in the distance, and before he had time to think about it, Xue Congjia grabbed Chu Tao's wrist and stuffed Chu Tao into a nearby deep alley, and made a booing expression. Chu Tao was ignorant, and her head lit like a chicken pecking rice.

She trusts Xue Congjia so much, she does not hesitate to follow whatever Xue Congjia asks her to do, in order to prevent others from discovering her, Chu Tao saw a small chicken coop on the ground in the middle of the alley, and immediately took it to her body, and the petite Chu Tao stayed in the stinky chicken coop, covering her mouth and nose, but her eyes were always staring at Xue Congjia's direction.

This familiar person is Xie Caiwei, the daughter of Xie Dongjia, because she grew up in the pile of gold and silver, Xie Caiwei is not very old, but she exudes a luxurious temperament that does not match her age, dignified and beautiful, with a calm and unhurried elegance. She came out this time to ask her friends to choose a few pieces of good material to tailor, and when she suddenly saw Xue Congjia appear, she naturally slowed down.

This young man is the person his father fancies, and he lost his mother at a young age, so his father is also in charge of major life events. On weekdays, the two have many conflicts of ideas, but in the matter of choosing a son-in-law, the father did not disappoint him. Xie Caiwei thought silently.

"Why doesn't Gongzi Jia go to the cold house these days?" Xie Caiwei smiled and saluted Xue Congjia.

Xue Congjia returned the salute and said: "The owner has every opportunity, how can the younger generation take the liberty of disturbing." ”

Xie Caiwei said: "Mr. Jia, my father has always wanted to tell you that there is a small tea merchant guild recently. It's just that you didn't come, and you didn't leave an address, and my father couldn't deliver the post. Thinking that Gongzi and Shopkeeper Fang had a great friendship, the post had already sent someone to Pinshizhai of Shopkeeper Fang. ”

Xue Congjia said: "Thank you Miss for telling me, and thank you for the owner's kindness." ”

Xie Caiwei said: "Gongzi is serious, Jia Gongzi must have something important to do, so the little girl will not bother." ”

"Please take care of yourself." Xue Congjia said very politely.

After Xie Caiwei walked away, the maid next to her asked, "Miss finally met Jia Gongzi, why didn't you ask him directly in the name of the guild?" ”

"He won't tell me, he's guarding me." Xie Caiwei sighed slightly.

Chu Tao shrank in the chicken coop, and was already indistinctly distinguished by the smell inside, and heard Xue Congjia talking to a woman in pieces, eager to tie up the two of them and sink to the bottom of the water.

Xue Congjia saw Chu Tao who got into the chicken coop, and finally couldn't help it, and laughed, Chu Tao was clumsily getting out of the chicken coop, seeing this situation, he was speechless with anger.

She was like a kitten with clipped claws about to have a seizure, she was so embarrassed, Xue Congjia said: "I let you hide, who told you to hide in the chicken coop." ”

"I-I-I'm not supposed to hide in the chicken coop, I should have dug a crack in the ground and got in, I bothered you to have a relationship with that young lady, did I?" Chu Tao threw the chicken coop to the ground, and turned his back to Xue Congjia angrily.

Xue Congjia said: "That is Xie Yun's daughter. I asked you to hide for fear of revealing your identity. ”

Chu Tao immediately answered: "Oh? It's Miss Xie, Xue Congjia, are you trying to make a beautiful man to others? ”

"What the hell do you have in your head?" Xue Congjia didn't have a good airway.

Chu Tao said angrily: "Anyway, my brain is filled with things that you don't have in your head." ”

Xue Congjiaqiang endured the unpleasant smell, pinched his nose and pulled out the first peach, and said, "I don't care what you have in your head, you quickly go back with me to wash away the smell." ”

Chu Tao sniffed his sleeves carefully, a wave of nausea came from the bottom of his stomach, and he vomited out with a "wow".

Thereupon...... Xue Congjia also had to go back and change his clothes.

"I'm sorry...... I didn't mean to, the chicken coop really smelled too big, I couldn't help it......" Hatsumomo apologized very seriously.

"Stay away from me, don't come near me." Obviously, Xue Congjia didn't want to accept her apology at all.

Chu Tao and Xue Congjia walked very slowly, and there were some twists and turns on the road, but they came back later than Shi Li.

Shi Li circled around the Hanging Flower Gate, and finally waited for Chu Tao to come back, and hurriedly asked, "Sister Tao, why didn't you leave without saying hello?" Where have you been, why have you not come back until now, but I am in a hurry. ”

As soon as the words fell, Shi Li saw Xue Congjia, who was following behind, come in, and he said, "It turns out that Brother Di is also here, so I am much more relieved." ”

It's Brother Di and Jia Gongzi, Xue Congjia will really name himself, Chu Tao silently scolded, she said to Shi Li: "I'm sorry, don't worry, it's nothing good to be with him anyway." ”

Xue Congjia didn't speak, and snorted coldly.

Xiaohong and Xiaozi were obsessed with watching the show, and they almost lost their master, and they were so frightened that they were so frightened that they saw Chu Tao and Xue Congjia coming back together, and a big stone in their hearts fell to the ground.

Xiao Zi thought silently, Miss is really the first person in the world who is duplicitous, obviously thinking that Xue Congjia can't think about it, and when they meet, they say that people are not good, so it is strange to be able to catch up with Xue Congjia.

Shi Li also smelled the stench on the two people, and said embarrassedly: "Come in, come in, this ...... Why don't you take a shower and change your clothes first? ”

Xue Congjia and Chu Tao nodded in unison, and Shi Li suddenly remembered Shopkeeper Fang's words: "Brother Di, Shopkeeper Fang said that Dongjia Xie sent a post from the guild to his shop, and your name was written on it. ”

Xue Congjia nodded: "Okay, I know, thank you Brother Shi." ”

Chu Tao followed Xue Congjia with small steps, chasing after him while carrying his skirt: "What guild and what guild, I will also go to you and take me to ......"

Shi Li sighed in a low voice, as long as Chu Tao touched Xue Congjia, he couldn't tolerate others in his eyes at all.
