Chapter 220: Revisiting the Study
Su Xin didn't go to the kitchen, but fortunately, Qu Yimeng and the others came back with dinner when they came back.
"Eh, today's two events have made those boring banquets gone, which is really a bit good." Qu Yimeng said jokingly.
Gu Qingyan echoed her and said a few words, and the few people sat down to eat.
No matter how troublesome he was before the Tibetan Sword Gate, the food was really good, the ingredients were exquisite, and the cooking skills were good, Gu Qingyan had unrealistic ideas, I don't know if I can get this chef back to Peach Blossom Stream, but it's just a thought.
After dinner, it was not dark yet, thinking that it would not be very convenient to go to investigate so early, so Han Yan planned to go back to Xiaofeng Courtyard first, just so that Gu Qingyan could take advantage of this time to rest a little.
After they left, Gu Qingyan asked Su Xin about the situation of the injured girl.
Su Xin said: "She is a simple-minded person, and she believed it when I said my identity casually." She talked about the cause of the injury as I had previously understood. β
After all, she is not a girl with a high position next to her master, and Su Xin didn't ask a reason for many things, but she was a little open-minded and talked to Gu Qingyan.
"The marriage between Master Shu and Miss Yu'an is coming soon."
"How?" Gu Qingyan asked.
Su Xin replied: "According to that girl, Shu Gongzi and Miss Yu An are the bridge between Miss Bai, at the end of last year, the head of Bai was still talking about Shu Gongzi's marriage, and after the New Year, Miss Luo Bo began, and many of them felt that Shu Gongzi's good thing was coming." β
Gu Qingyan smiled, this possibility is really not impossible, but she didn't understand a little, even though Bai Shu and Bai Jiaoyue have reached the age of marriage, they will not let the two of them get married in the time before and after.
How so? I always feel that Bai Qing is slightly anxious.
"And the broken fat powder, it is said that it is used by the ladies of the palace or the royal ladies, the little girl recalled, the thing is indeed a good thing, the powder is delicate and silky, and there is a faint floral fragrance."
"Do you know what the box looks like?" Gu Qingyan asked.
If it is really the things used by those people, whether it is the things on the outside or the fat powder itself on the inside, it is indeed different from the ordinary.
But because of this, it's easy to track down.
Su Xin recalled that she had asked this question, but the girl was flustered at the time, and she didn't have time to take a closer look, and she only talked to her about it when chatting.
"The box is not big, it can be put up with your hand in the palm of your hand, it is a porcelain vase, and there is a golden hollow pattern on the side..."
Listening to Su Xin's description, Gu Qingyan imagined that picture, and then said, "Go back and talk to Beiming again, and ask him to find someone to draw one for King Yu." β
The things in the palace are scattered, although it is not a particularly important matter, but it is not a trivial matter.
Su Xin answered, and told Gu Qingyan again, saying that she had heard a guess from the maid's mouth, which was just enough to prove why everyone thought that Bai Shu and Yu An's marriage was going soon.
"I heard that Master Shu's gift list is ready, and I also asked a few heads to look at it first."
Gu Qingyan remembered the list of items she saw in Bai Shu's study in the afternoon with several pages full of papers, she thought it was an inventory or something, so she didn't look at it carefully, but now that she thinks about it, she doesn't know what the things on it are, but those numbers seem to vaguely remember that they are all even numbers.
Just when the master and servant were talking about Bai Shu's marriage, the party had already returned to his courtyard from Bai Jiaoyue and plunged into the study again.
Lighting the lamp, Bai Shu held the letter in his hand that made his face change greatly during the day, the content of the letter was very direct, directly stated the intention of wooing, and also picked out what Bai Shu was doing now, and the other party was clear.
The letter also attached a picture, which Tu Baishu only had time to look at carefully, and in addition to shock, there was fear and unwillingness in his eyes.
The picture depicts the solution to the entire mechanism array of the sword mound and even the back mountain!
Back then, Bai Shu led several sects to rebuild the trap array, and apart from them, no one could know the solution of the trap array so clearly.
Moreover, in these years, while Bai Shu rapidly expanded the power of the Tibetan Sword Sect, he suppressed and suppressed the sects that had helped them, and they couldn't even say "cross the river and demolish the bridge".
Therefore, after such calculations, there are not many people left who can know the full solution of the trap array.
It was as if his fingers were brushing over the picture.
The paper was new, the handwriting was also new, and the other party didn't want to hide that they really knew the solution of the mechanism formation in the slightest.
There is also an inconspicuous totemic sign in the corner of the envelope....
Holding this letter, Bai Shu didn't know how long he had been pondering, and no one knew how long he had been thinking back and forth about the things in the letter.
Mu Ne removed the lampshade that was covered with the candle flame, and the letter met the fire and turned into ashes little by little.
Bai Shu's eyes were scattered, and it was not until the last bit of confetti reached his fingertips that Bai Shu suddenly woke up.
Then he looked frightened, his hands trembling and he wanted to take a sip of the water next to him.
The sound of the cup lid and the quilt colliding expressed his inner panic and badness.
A mouthful of water was sent down, and he sat down in a chair to relax, muttering something that no one could hear, until an hour later, he came out of the study without a master, went straight back to the bedroom, lit the lamp, and fell asleep.
At night, Gu Qingyan was also going to go out, and before going out, Su Xin changed into a coat for Gu Qingyan.
Gu Qingyan took a look, and Zhidao had a heart.
This coat is different from other clothes and clothes, and it has materials that Xu Shaolin specially found someone to sew, which can help Gu Qingyan block some sudden injuries in some cases.
But because of this, this dress is not light, Gu Qingyan doesn't like to wear it on weekdays, and the days of being idle in the Pure Heart Courtyard are far more than those that are carried in the package, let alone the upper body.
Only when Su Xin came out with him, he would think about bringing Gu Qingyan just in case.
When Gu Qingyan came to the assembly point, Beiming, Hanyan, and Linrui were already there, and after a few simple words, the four of them acted in twos and twos.
Bai Shu lit the candle with Gu Qing's cigarette and medicine in an unguarded manner, and now he was sleeping deeply, and a figure quickly flashed into his bedroom, and he didn't notice it.
Bei Ming's hands were very fast, and he searched the corners of the bedroom and those places where there might be hidden things, but he didn't find anything similar to the book that Han Yan had given him before.
Focusing on the person lying on the bed, Beiming walked over there without fear, reached out and touched the bed, everything was normal.
Then he took out a bottle in his arms and moved it back and forth under Bai Shu's nose, Bai Shu raised his hand and rubbed his nose as if his nose was uncomfortable, and then fell asleep sideways.
Bei Ming had already hid on the side of the bed before he could react, waiting for the movement to stabilize before he slowly went back, reaching out to grope under Bai Shu's pillow.
Sure enough, he found a notebook.
With this notebook in his hand, Bei Ming walked to the outer room, picked up the paper that was folded by Bai Shu on the table, and went to find Hanyan after a while.
In the study, Han Yan touched the box that Bai Shu had hidden, picked it up and shook it, he always felt that the sound he heard at this time was different from when Gu Qingyan shook it before.
Putting the box aside first, Han Yan found that although Bai Shu's study did not have any hidden compartments, there were many cracks, and Bai Shu was also a person who could hide things, and everything important would be hidden in these inconspicuous places.
People don't pay much attention on weekdays.
But once you find one, it's not hard to find the other.
Looking at the jade pendant on his waist that he found from under their bed, Han Yan always felt that he had seen it somewhere.
After a while, Beiming came: "Young owner." β
"How's it going, have you gotten the thing?" Han Yan asked
Bei Ming nodded and handed the notebook in his hand to Han Yan, who happened to give the locked box to Bei Ming and motioned for him to open it.
Then I turned it over and saw that the book was not very thick, and there were several pages of blank paper at the back, and the characters on the penultimate page were only two-thirds drawn, and there was a blank space next to it, as if to leave a place for the text, but now, there was no drawing.
Flipping forward, Han Yan's expression became worse and worse, and the picture on it was not a simple two people holding a sword to make a move, but a move and a style of direction, and the text next to it was accompanied by analysis.
On closer inspection, the brushwork is a bit too delicate.
Han Yan recalled what Bai Shu said, looked at the book carefully, lifted it and smelled the page, the pine fragrance between the papers was still very new, especially the last page.
The feeling of the paper is also very new.,The book is closed.,In the corner of the page,Han Yan smelled a faint fragrance.γ
He smiled, no wonder Bai Shu asked Yukikawa to do this, and no wonder he couldn't say how angry he slapped the table at that time.
The co-author is his fiancΓ©e, and he almost puts himself behind his back.
It's just that then again, since Yu An can draw this sword spectrum, it means that she can touch it, and Bai Shu can be angry again, so it just confirms the conjecture in Han Yan's heart.
He sneered, closed the notebook, and put it on Bai Shu's desk.
Just when he was reading the book, Beiming studied the lock for a while, and then out of nowhere he took out a needle with a small tooth hook in the front section, poked it into the lock cylinder, and after a few pounds, he heard a "Gada" sound, and the lock opened.
Han Yan nodded secretly, Gu Qingyan's side really cultivated all kinds of capable people.
Beiming took out a few letters with envelopes from inside, opened them and handed them to Han Yan, the two of them took a cursory look, it was nothing more than some letters exchanged between Bai Shu and various sects, but some of them involved indescribable content, otherwise there would be no need to keep them so carefully.
"It should be less." Han Yan said in a low voice.
As he spoke, he pointed to the pleat of the top one, which had a shallow mark telling them that there was a letter with something encapsulated before it, and briefly let it go.
Bei Ming's gaze instantly moved to the burned candle on the table.
The table was clean, and even if it had burned before, it should have been cleaned up.
Is it still too late? Gu Qingyan intuitively felt that there was something wrong with the letter, but they were still late.
The two of them packed these up, Beiming showed Han Yan what he had come out of Bai Shu's room, Han Yan opened it, and there were many items listed on it one by one, and the numbers below were all even numbers, Han Yan knew something, smiled, and returned the list to Beiming.
Beiming took the list and saw the fast jade pendant that Han Yan had been holding, and he said, "This jade pendant...."
"You've seen it?" Han Yan asked.
In fact, he also felt that he had seen it, but he couldn't remember it for a while.
Beiming nodded: "My subordinates remember that Prince Yukikawa also has a piece on him." β
Gu Qingyan has a bad memory, which creates the memory of the people under her who are not unforgettable, at least they must be able to remember all kinds of details.
Therefore, Han Yan did not doubt that he had him, and told Beiming: "Pay more attention in the next few days." β
Although Yukikawa and Bai Shu have a relationship, they already know it, but the specific relationship between these two is still unknown.
