Ah Dao's body stiffened.

"Turn around. The voice commanded.

Ah Tao was wearing the clothes of a servant girl of Xunfu at the moment, and when she heard the footsteps getting closer and closer to her, her body moved, and she had to turn around slowly.

Just halfway through, I suddenly heard the gentle voice of a woman not far away.

"Yan'er!"

Xun Guangyan, who was standing opposite Ah Dao, turned around, and Ah Dao took the opportunity to turn into a red light and escaped.

Xiangfu jade disturbed the courtyard, Xiangyu is in the strange stone stacking, flowers and plants, surrounded by bamboo at the entrance of the courtyard side, he is wearing a crown on his head, wearing a white jade brocade robe, sitting on a mound of brocade pestles, is facing the murmuring rockery made of the ditch stream to cook tea and fuqin.

The sound of the piano is ethereal and melodious, like the continuous mist in the mountains all year round, and each note falls on the flowing water, merging and intertwining with each other, presenting the same elegant tone.

When listening to the sound, the listener is like being in the mist of mountains and rivers, which has a unique charm.

The sound of the piano gradually subsided, and then stopped.

The mist cleared in an instant, and everything returned to normal.

There was a slight fluctuation in the air, and Yin Heng, dressed in purple, had knelt down on one knee in front of Xiangyu respectfully at some point.

"What's wrong?" Xiangyu looked at Yin Heng and asked in a lazy tone.

Yin Heng: "Back to Gongzi, there has been no progress yet. ”

"What has she done all these days?"

Yin Heng replied again: "In the past few days, Ah Tao has secretly and carefully searched the entire Xun Mansion inside and outside, including the ashes of the things used in the ceremony that were destroyed by Miss Yin Er's order, but there is no trace of the hairpin. ”

"Hmm......"

In the dark blue dragon pattern tea stove on the desk, the boiling water is gaining momentum, and the boiling water is about to tumble and surge, and soon the sound of popping water begins to sound.

A ghost suddenly burst out of nowhere like a gust of wind, trotted quickly to the front of the desk, squatted down and respectfully began to pour tea for Xiangyu.

A trace of hesitation flashed on Yin Heng's face, who was kneeling in front of Xiangyu.

Xiangyu saw it in her eyes: "What else did she do?"

Yin Heng had no choice but to reply: "Ah Tao sneaks into the big kitchen of Xun Mansion every night to steal small yellow croaker," he sighed, "These little yellow croakers are specially prepared for her by the Yu clan of the Xun clan." ”

However, Ah Tao and the Yu clan have never met, and it seems that she doesn't know the inside story. ”

"Got it. ”

Xiangyu waved his hand to signal Yin Heng to retreat, took the freshly brewed tea presented by the ghost beside him with one hand, looked at the clear yellow and clear tea in the cup, the corners of Xiangyu's mouth slowly hooked up a casual smile, meaning, and muttered in his mouth: "I don't know the inside story......

Xiangyu took a sip of tea, put down the teacup, and then got up and walked towards the study deep in the bamboo forest.

Passing through the bamboo forest, you can faintly hear the sound of several ghosts wailing and screaming, followed by a messy sound of crockpots breaking to the ground.

It was also mixed with the excitement of Xiangqian coaxing the people in the house to bet on which ghost would win the game in the end.

Finally, Xiangyu arrived at the door outside the courtyard of the study.

In the place where I entered, I saw the raccoon slave wearing an auspicious cloud pattern white jade wide-sleeved shirt, with a black cloth ribbon buttoned at the waist, sitting in the moss open space surrounded by bamboo on three sides, holding a cup of hot tea in both hands, looking at a few ghosts who had been so tired of wiping bamboo leaves every day that they kept falling to the ground and fainting, with a smile on their faces.

Xiangyu followed the raccoon slave's line of sight, looked at the layers of bamboo forests in front of her, and saw those few fierce ghosts who clinged to the bamboo poles and did not let go, wiping the bamboo leaves hard, while not forgetting to interfere with each other, the picture was relaxed and funny.

The corners of Xiangyu's mouth couldn't help but hook a shallow arc, and the smoke that had been deposited all year round in a pair of deep inky eyes dissipated slightly.

The scene in front of him gave him an illusion, and in a trance, he seemed to return to the simple and idle days he once had.

"Childe. The raccoon slave found Xiangyu standing at the door, and it called softly, and Xiangyu came back to his senses.

The smoke that had just cleared quickly floated and filled the entire eye socket, obscuring the true emotions of the owner of the eyes.

Xiangyu walked towards the study, followed by the tanuki slave.

Xiangyu asked as he walked, "How many days are left until the January pre-death curse occurs?"

Without hesitation, the tanuki said, "There are twenty days left." ”

Xiangyu nodded, thinking about it, and walked quickly into the study.

At the main gate of Xun Mansion, Xun Guangyan was dressed in brocade and was about to go out at this time.

There was a carriage parked on the road in front of the mansion, and a young man dressed as a young man in a restaurant stood outside the carriage, stretching his neck from time to time to look at the door of the Xun Mansion, as if waiting for someone.

When Xun Guangyan passed by him, he glanced at the carriage and asked casually, "What's the matter with you?"

The young man obviously knew Xun Guangyan, and hurriedly stepped forward and bowed down and said, "I've seen Xun Xiaogongzi, the villain is a guy from Rongxiang Restaurant, and he came to deliver the little yellow croaker today." ”

Xun Guangyan, who was just about to leave, paused, turned his head to look at this guy, and said suspiciously: "What little yellow croaker?"

The guy in the restaurant looked flattering and said: "Mrs. Zun has been ordering small yellow croaker in Rongxiang Restaurant every day these days, and she is very good at taking care of the business of the small shop, and our Rongxiang Restaurant is really grateful to your house!"

When Xun Guangyan heard this, his figure was completely retracted, and he turned to the guy with a solemn expression.

As night fell, in the darkness and darkness, there was a faint sound of food chewing in the kitchen of Xunfu.

Ah Tao sat casually on the ground, swallowing a small yellow croaker in her mouth, and in front of her was a large porcelain plate, which contained a small yellow croaker mixed with condiments and some fish bone remains.

Today's small yellow croaker is salty and fragrant, and it is much more delicious than the taste I ate a few days ago.

When Ah Tao swallowed the last small yellow croaker, she burped with a pleasant face.

After eating, Ah Dao lay flat on the ground, looking at the darkness above his head, and his mind calmed down.

She knew that someone deliberately provided herself with different flavors of raw yellow croaker every day, some time ago because she was busy searching for the whereabouts of the hedge hairpin, so she did not delve into the matter, and now the search for the hedge hairpin was unsuccessful, after eating these small yellow croaker, she planned to leave Xunfu and go back to Lord Luan to return to her life.

It's just that before she left, she still had one thing to do, which was to thank the kind-hearted person who secretly provided Xiao Huangyu to herself every day, thank Xiao Huangyu for the grace of supply, and thank the other party for not publicizing the fact that she had been hiding in Xunfu for many days.

But this person Shenlong has not seen the beginning and the end, and has never shown half of his face, and it is really difficult to repay the favor.

Ah Tao got up, cast a spell to clean up the remains of the fish bone in front of him, and then took out a piece of yellow wood from the clothes on his chest, and placed the yellow wood in the large porcelain plate that she had cleaned up by the spell.

Since you can't see the deity, you can only make a promise through this method that you are used to.

After doing all this, Ah Tao walked briskly towards the door, reached out to open the kitchen door, and prepared to leave.

It's just that at the moment when her hands touched the deadbolt, a cold object suddenly hit her neck, and Ah Tao stopped walking instantly.

In the dark, a male voice that was still in the stage of voice change and sounded a little familiar sounded coldly in Ah Dao's ears: "What are you looking for in Xunfu?"

Ah Tao stabilized his mind and quickly recognized the identity of the person: "How did Xiao Gongzi Xun know that the slave was looking for something?"

Xun Guangyan snorted arrogantly, obviously thinking that Ah Tao had asked a very stupid and shallow question.

But he still explained: "In the past few days, the little maids in the house have always been inquired about and the day of the ceremony, who else will there be besides you!"

"The slave is a little puzzled, how did Xun Xiaogongzi find the slave?"

Xun Guangyan didn't answer, but his eyes quickly stayed on the large porcelain plate that Ah Dao had just cleaned up for a moment.

Ah Tao was relieved.

She sighed to herself, she was really unlucky to reveal her whereabouts before leaving.

But he quipped: "Xun Xiaogongzi has good eyesight." ”

The blade on Ah Dao's neck tightened: "Don't give me a poor mouth, the servant girl I stopped in the courtyard that day was pretended by you, right?"

Xun Guangyan refers to the day when she was stopped by Xun Guangyan when she cast a spell in front of the car that transported the filth in the house to probe the whereabouts of the fence hairpin.

"Yes. ”

Xun Guangyan sarcastically said: "You are frank. ”

Ah Tao simply had a showdown with him: "The slave came to investigate the disappearance of the dancing girl on the order of Lord Luan of Dali Temple, and there is no other ulterior motive. ”

Xun Guangyan's voice was cold: "You still want to trick me! Since it is in the name of Lord Luan, the investigation will be investigated, why is it so sneaky?"

"Miss Xun Er made it clear to Lord Luan that all the things used in the ceremony had been destroyed by her order. ”

Xun Guangyan paused: "Could it be ...... Lord Luan thinks Xun Yuse is lying?"

is worthy of being a prodigy, and his brain is really fast.

"Yes. Ah Tao replied.

However, isn't Xun Guangyan Xun Yuse's brother, why do you call Xun Yuse by his name?

There was a sudden sound outside the door, and Xun Guangyan and Ah Tao were alarmed at the same time.

Seeing that the closed door of the kitchen was being slowly pushed open from the outside, Xun Guangyan decisively reached out to cover Ah Dao's mouth, dragged her whole body and quickly hid behind the stove.
