"How do you know?" Qiao Wu was surprised.

"Since the last time, Miss wanted to go out, and asked Zhuangzi in the western suburbs. I asked the old people in the house about many interesting places near the capital. Now it comes in handy. Min Qi smiled lightly.

"Thank you." Cheng Xin said.

Although it was only half a day's journey, Cheng Xin felt numb in his ass when he thought of the bumps in the carriage.

"If the young lady wants to go, why don't you go and write a letter first, and if the lady agrees, it's not too late to set out. Otherwise, even if we get there, the lady will not meet. ”

"This is also to be reported......"

"When Madame is concentrating on worshipping the Buddha, she is not allowed to be disturbed by outsiders. Although Miss is not an outsider, I'm afraid of this rule-" Min Qi said and glanced at Cheng Xin cautiously.

Cheng Xin knew that when the original owner first came, this lady did not come out to meet at the first time because she was worshipping the Buddha.

"Okay, I'll write a letter."

Cheng Xin came to the desk, and Minqi and Qiaowen were already helping to lay the paper and grind.

Cheng Xin dipped his pen in ink, and just about to put down the pen, he suddenly paused.

'My little girl, you don't know how to write calligraphy, do you?' ’

'How is that possible?' ’

She has practiced martial arts since she was a child, and she is also more traditional, and has practiced calligraphy for several years.

'Then you write?' ’

My writing is not good-looking, and the most important thing is that it will be recognized as not the handwriting of the original owner. ’

Then you should practice your calligraphy first. The little book said that there was nothing to be done.

"Miss, what's wrong with you?"

"It's fine." Cheng Xin put down the pen again: "By the way, are my previous calligraphy and painting letters still there?" I'd like to take a look. ”

It should be regarded as a copybook of the original owner, and it must be copied well.

"Miss, most of the calligraphy and paintings you write are in Jiangnan. After coming to the capital, you rarely practiced calligraphy, and even if you did, you took it and burned it. ”

Hearing Wen Qi say this, some pictures vaguely appeared in Cheng Xin's mind. When the original owner was sad and sad, he would burn things alone in the study, which is now very empty, with few books and fewer calligraphy and paintings.

Cheng Xin looked around the room: "Just, nothing?" ”

Minqi nodded, she also knew that the young lady hated the little grandfather at that time, and heard that the little grandfather was a well-known talented son in the capital, so she burned calligraphy and paintings when she returned home.

Hearing this, Cheng Xin was in a bright mood.

It doesn't matter if there are no calligraphy and paintings left by the original owner, so no one will question what she writes in the future.

For Minqi, they only need to say words to improve.

Just as Cheng Xin was about to put pen to paper again, Qiaowen on the side reminded:

"By the way, miss, you still have the letters in the box."

Letters in a box!

Those things were left by her in the little grandfather's room.

Seeing Cheng Xin frowning, Qiao Wu said with relief: "How about the little grandfather not taking Miss's letter, if Miss cares, take it back." ”

Cheng Xin looked at the sky outside: "What time is it?" ”

"It's three o'clock in the afternoon, and at this time, the little grandfather is usually taking a nap. Mademoiselle might as well wait for him to wake up before going? ”

Nap, nap.

"No need, I'll go back as soon as I go." Cheng Xin walked out: "You don't have to follow, continue to study the ink, and wait for me to come back." ”

"Yes."

……

The afternoon sun was very warm, the Guogong Mansion was very quiet, the corridor was empty, and Cheng Xin turned into the courtyard of the little grandfather after only half a cup of tea.

The porter was lying in the shade and resting, when he heard the movement and stood up.

"Miss, why are you here?" The little guy is a little cramped.

Cheng Xin put his finger to his mouth and shrugged: "Be quiet, be careful to make noise to the little grandfather." ”

The little guy nodded.

"I'm here to find the little grandfather for something, you continue." As he spoke, he bypassed the small servant and entered the courtyard.

Cheng Xin didn't come to the little grandfather's yard for the first time, so he came to the door of the little grandfather's house with a familiar car.

Cheng Xin was about to knock on the door, but saw that the door was slightly open, she poked her finger lightly, and the door opened with a "squeak".

The room was empty, and the little grandfather didn't know where to go.

Cheng Xin poked his head and saw a box on the low table next to the bed at a glance.

"It doesn't take much effort to get there."

Cheng Xin approached, this box was no longer the muddy box it was at the beginning, but a clean appearance.

On the edge of the iron box was a neatly folded handkerchief, which she had also dropped that night.

She opened the box, and several letters were there.

It's just that...... The silver hairpin was gone.

Cheng Xin rummaged through the little grandfather's bed, but didn't see it.

'Little book, do you think he also knows the secret in the silver hairpin?' ’

That's hard to say, maybe he thinks your hairpin is broken, and he just threw it away. ’

It would be nice if he had lost it. ’

She always felt that what the little grandfather wanted that night was not her iron box, but the silver hairpin.

At this moment, there was the sound of footsteps outside.

Cheng Xin quickly tidied up the bed and the place of turmoil, and hid in the compartment behind the bed with one arrow step.

'My little girl, are you a thief?' ’

yes, what is she hiding?

Looks like she has the potential to be a thief. Just as she was hesitating to come out, the door opened.

Three people walked in.

"Little grandfather." A voice paused: "Do you want to-"

"It's okay, Uncle Qin, you continue."

Qin Shu's expression remained unchanged and continued to walk inside.

Behind him was a guard of his age, standing without squinting.

Mr. Qin: "The prince set up a banquet in the East Palace three days later and invited hundreds of civil and military officials to celebrate. Little grandfather, you are also listed. ”

"He knows I'm not going to the feast."

"This time is different, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has repeatedly told you to take the young lady with you."

Qin Shu glanced at the iron box on the low table: "It turns out that the drunkard doesn't mean to drink." ”

"Not only the young lady, but also the young ladies of the Manchu Dynasty were invited, saying that it was to let the future crown princess get acquainted with the daughters of the courtiers in advance."

At this time, the guard standing aside said: "There is news from the East Palace, and the prince secretly seems to be looking for someone. ”

Looking for someone?

Isn't he looking for Wen Yunxian?

Cheng Xin secretly said that the prince is too distracted, eating the bowl and looking at the pot. But this time he should be disappointed, Wen Yunxian will definitely not have the opportunity to attend this banquet.

"Got it. There's nothing going on here, so go down. ”

"Yes."

The guard's footsteps were light, Cheng Xin could almost only hear the sound of Manager Qin's footsteps leaving, and when the door opened and closed, the room fell into silence.

There was a murmuring sound outside.

Cheng Xin poked his head out cautiously, but saw that the little grandfather had his back to her and was untying his clothes.

Is it appropriate to take off your clothes in this blue sky and white day?

Cheng Xin hurriedly stepped back and approached the wall, holding his breath without making any sound.

'Little girl, welfare, why did you return it! ’

Welfare is big, I accidentally picked his pants last time, and this time I bumped into him in a wide coat. If he finds out, I'm afraid that she will think that this sister of hers has ill intentions towards him. ’

This is going to be caught, and it is impossible to tell whether it is jumping off the Yellow River.
