"I didn't expect that the girl was frightened when she just came to the Star Picking Pavilion, I just made a calming tea here, the girl might as well drink a cup. ”

Sitting on the soft floor, in front of him is a square mahogany low table, with a set of exquisite tea sets and a copper-colored incense burner.

The tea gas is around the fingers, and the water is murmuring.

When cooking tea, he lowered his eyebrows slightly, his expression was focused, he was not impatient, and his every move was as beautiful as a goddess in the sky, and the fairy in the painting made people unable to take their eyes off.

After a while, she pushed a cup of white jade tea bowl with a curling aroma.

Because the topic I wanted to talk about with her was the most important secret in the Star Picking Pavilion at the moment, from the moment we sat opposite each other, Yu'er and the maid who was waiting for Xi were instructed to go out.

The first two times, I only knew that the Oiran of the Star Pavilion in front of me was talented, but I didn't expect that the kung fu of making tea was also perfect, if I were a man, I would see her sitting here quietly cooking tea, and I didn't want to do those things, but I was also in a good mood.

"Then thank you, girl. ”

I smiled and picked up the tea bowl, and as soon as I reached the tip of my nose, I smelled a different fragrance from ordinary tea leaves.

It seems to have a bit of medicinal energy, clear, distant, and pleasant.

A cup of throat moistening, the slightly sweet tea slid into the stomach, as if it could give birth to a faint warmth on its own, and I was still a little impetuous and nervous when I entered the door, as if it was really calmed down a lot.

"Girl, this tea really works wonders!" I complimented.

He bent the corners of his mouth, poured himself a bowl of tea, but did not drink it immediately, and with a twist of his wrist, he picked up a small bronze carved locket two fingers wide from the small copper stove.

The box is so exquisite.

The surface is embossed with patterns, the texture is delicate and neat, and the position of the front buckle is inlaid with a ruby the size of a mung bean, which seems inconspicuous, but when it moves, it reflects different shades of red light with the light, which is very good-looking!

"This is a gift from a guest who is doing business in the Western Regions, called Rest Tea, after drinking it, you can calm your mind and sleep well at night, I don't have much left here, if the girl likes it, these will be given to the girl. ”

She said that

The bronze locket was pushed over.

I hurriedly waved my hand, "Miss Xi, you are too polite, this tea must be very precious, it will be in such a beautiful box, your guest gave it to you, that is his heart, how can I take people's favor?"

"The girl was frightened today, I am afraid that I will not be able to sleep well in the past few days and nights, and from tomorrow I will have to raise my spirit to practice music and learn the piano with the masters of the Star Picking Pavilion, and I will not have much time to rest, and I will drink this tea, so that you will not be so hard. ”

He looked at me with a smile, and his peach blossom eyes were full of concern.

I immediately felt warm in my heart, and I didn't refuse anymore, so I put the small box in my sleeve pocket, thinking that if I could survive tonight safely, I would go back to Li Rui and find some thank-you gifts to send over.

Tonight, I must sleep with Li Rui, but before that, I still have to find a way to get rid of the tragic fate of being killed inexplicably.

"What do you think, girl...... What's so strange about Miss Mingxiang's death?"

Since I was determined to investigate, I stopped squirming and asked about the person in front of me.

Since she is an Oiran in the Star Picking Pavilion, her status is naturally different from that of the women in other houses, and she has a thin face in front of Mother Liu, as for those mothers-in-law, maids and whatnot, they naturally respect her and respect her, so if you talk about things under this roof, I am afraid that she knows no less than Mother Liu.

Xi wiped his fingers with a handkerchief, raised his eyes again, looked at me seriously, and then asked with some confusion: "What has the girl noticed?"

"Not really. ”

For some reason, I was a little unnatural by that gaze, and hurriedly shook my head and said, "I first came to Jingshi, I didn't know anything, and I met Miss Mingxiang after being sold into the Star Picking Pavilion...... So at this time, there is no clue. ”

Xi nodded lightly, and pondered for a moment before answering, "It's a pity that although I have known Miss Mingxiang for a while, I am not very familiar with her, and I don't know much about her, otherwise I may be able to help Mother Liu investigate." ”

Belch?!

I was stunned for a moment, frowned and asked, "Miss Xi, don't you know about Miss Mingxiang?"

He pursed his lips

smiled, "I'm ashamed, it's only been a few months since Miss Mingxiang came to the Star Picking Pavilion, and I was busy organizing the Mid-Autumn Festival poetry meeting with several other girls from the Flower Building, so I haven't been able to pay attention to the new girls in the Star Picking Pavilion." ”

Isn't that right......

I pinched the purple sand tea bowl in my hand that I hadn't had time to put down, and I wanted to ask but I just moved twice and closed my mouth again.

Why is the girl's answer different from the last time I knew from her......

If there is only this day repeating the cycle in the illusion, it stands to reason that the things that happened before should not change, but if so, isn't the girl lying to me?!

"Miss Xi, since you and Miss Mingxiang are not close, why did you go to her house today?" I asked again.

Blinking, smiling with a charming eyebrow, but not at all gaudy, it is a natural 'elegant charm'.

"I went to Miss Mingxiang's house to give her a congratulatory gift, after all, tonight was a good day for her, not long after I sat down, I saw that Mingxiang seemed to be very tired, so I got up to say goodbye, and before I could go out, I saw you, girl. ”

What she said didn't sound out of the ordinary.

I nodded, thought about it for a moment, and asked, "Then when you went to the tea room, did you see anything strange that she ate or drank?"

Xi recalled seriously and shook his head: "No." ”

That's weird.

What was the smell of medicine I smelled in Miss Mingxiang's room? And when I was outside the door with Yu'er, I clearly heard something rolling to the ground, and it was ......

"Miss Xi, I was standing outside the door, you said that Mingxiang accidentally hit the tea bowl at hand, do you know what tea she drank?"

"Rest tea. ”

Xi quickly replied: "It's the tea that the girl drank just now, and I also heard Liu's mother talk about Mingxiang's poor spirits, so I brought a cup of rest tea for her to drink, thinking that she could recover her spirits as soon as possible...... Girl, do you suspect that the cup of tea I sent hurt Mingxiang?"

"No, no, don't get me wrong. ”
