Taking advantage of Gu Qingyan's rest in the house, Beiming went back to Shimen, Holly saw Beiming coming back, and came over with Fufeng to reply, handing over a letter received a day ago, Beiming opened it and looked at it, nodded clearly, and put away the letter.

Then he asked how the old ghost Fufeng was doing, and Fufeng stepped forward and replied: "After the incense powder was sent, the old ghost has been studying the incense powder, and the Gu worms are still raised, and the others are still the same as usual." ”

After hearing this, Beiming was still a little uneasy, and quietly went to the stone house with Fufeng, the old ghost in the stone house was picking up new poisonous insects to put in the brocade box, and then closed the brocade box, what to do and what to do, just came over from time to time to see the situation in the brocade box, and then left.

The spice box was placed on the other side of the table at a distance from the brocade box, and there was still some powder left on the table, and the old ghost walked to the side of the table, dusted it off with something, mixed it with water, and poured it into the flower pot.

Beiming and Fufeng left the stone house, and Beiming said, "Did he say anything?" ”

Fufeng shook his head, the old ghost was still the same, he didn't speak, he just lowered his head and did his own thing.

Beiming glanced back at the stone house, told Fufeng to continue to star, and went out of the stone gate first and returned to the Pure Heart Courtyard.

As soon as I entered the courtyard, I saw Su Xin sitting under the railing, holding Gu Qingyan's cloak in his hand, as if he was rummaging for something.

Beiming walked over: "Su Xin? How are you outside? Has the master rested? ”

Su Xin saw that it was Beiming, shook the cloak on his hand, and muttered: "I just changed clothes, I saw a scratch on this cloak, so I wanted to help the master mend it, but I couldn't find it when I took it off." ”

As he spoke, he picked it up and looked left and right: "The master is staying in the house, I haven't stopped when I came out, I'm afraid that I can't see clearly in the house, so I went outside to find it." ”

Gu Qingyan originally wanted to sleep for a while, but she didn't feel sleepy just after sitting on the bed, so she simply got up, came to the soft couch, made a pot of tea by herself, and read a book.

At this time, I heard a voice talking outside, and when I listened carefully, it was Su Xin and Beiming, so he said, "I didn't sleep, come in." ”

When Beiming heard the sound, he went into the house, turned around and said to Su Xin: "If you want to help and wait, I will come out to help you in a while." ”

Su Xin said "um", first put away the cloak and followed Beiming into the house to wait.

Beiming saluted, Gu Qingyan sat upright, and the teacup on the side had just poured a cup of tea, and the fragrance of tea was faintly diffused in this room.

Gu Qingyan tested the temperature of the cup wall with her hand, and was not in a hurry to drink it, so she asked Beiming first: "Does King Yu have a letter?" ”

It's been a few days since they've been gone, so it's not surprising that there's a reply.

Beiming presented the letter, Gu Qingyan opened it, several pages were full of writing, Gu Qingyan glanced at it a few times, looked at a few keywords, and put it aside for the time being.

Bei Ming stepped forward and added: "The letter said that after Ye Jinliang went back, he sent a letter to Fu Di, and since then, he has been running at both ends of the Yong'an Hou Mansion and the Yuwang Mansion. ”

"He thinks he's looking for a backer?"

This Ye Jinliang, the moment Gu Qingyan saw him, he felt that this person was blind, and he thought that he wanted to get benefits anywhere, and he looked like a villain with grass on the wall, without concealing it at all.

Sure enough, King Yu just threw out a small branch, and Ye Jinliang was like finding a big shade, thinking about his dog-legged appearance, how many cokes were in Gu Qingyan's mind.

"It's just that Ye Jinliang doesn't seem to know much about the new host, only that he wants to find someone to replace his sister's vacant position, and he is somewhat repulsed."

Bei Ming continued, Gu Qingyan just scanned the letter, naturally not everything he said was clear, he had already digested the content in his heart, so he directly summarized and relayed it to Gu Qingyan.

"Repulsion?" Gu Qingyan seemed to see this word just now, but he didn't look at it carefully.

Beiming explained: "Well, the letter said that when Ye Jinliang mentioned his sister, he said that his sister had some status in Fudi. Therefore, the subordinates think that the host should have some rights or identities in Futu. ”

"That's right, the host is no better than others, not to mention that it is also Situ Haoyang's exclusive person, and his status is naturally not bad."

Gu Qingyan's brain began to work, and now a new host is about to appear, which proves that the county lord of Yong'an Hou has completely become a thing of the past, Ye Jinliang himself has no ability to take the position, he has always relied on relationships, and if the relationship is gone, won't it affect him? Rejection is in the past.

"Well, it might be better for us to control the host matter ourselves, and besides, I should know something."

Gu Qingyan picked up the tea, took a sip, put down the teacup and tapped his fingers on the table.

Situ Haoyang in the small town galloped here to find Su Tanxue, and at the end of the day, he hadn't started to do anything, Gu Qingyan remembered that he had reminded Situ Haoyang not to be tempted, his eyes narrowed, and a mysterious smile hung on the corner of his mouth.

Beiming didn't know what Gu Qingyan was thinking, so he could only stop talking for the time being, but when he saw Gu Qingyan's playful smile, he felt that his master must have thought of some bad idea brewing.

Situ Haoyang's heart for Su Tanxue is true or fake Gu Qingyan doesn't know, but she now understands that Situ Haoyang can make a play for Su Tanxue, so why not take a look at it.

As for Su Tanxue vs. Situ Haoyang, Gu Qingyan had to let Hanyan take another look. After all, a girl's mind is very simple, and it is like a needle under the sea, which is not false.

"I see that the letter also mentions the matter of Nangong Rui."

Gu Qingyan smiled and picked up the letter again, this time King Yu was a lot more sincere, this thick pile, and described all the things that could be said.

Beiming said: "Yes, the news from the local investigation, not long after Nangong Rui disappeared from the Shuangying Building, someone in the place where she disappeared recognized a female corpse of Yizhuang in the name of the Nangong family. ”

Gu Qingyan frowned slightly, when Yuhualou was investigating this matter, whether it was from Nangong or Shuangyinglou, there was no such news coming out, either it was leaked, or it was directly covered up.

"There's another phenomenon that we haven't asked." Beiming said.

"What?" Gu Qingyan's intuition told her that Nangong Rui's matter might not be as simple as they found out.

Beiming said: "Yao Ji and Xue Ji have appeared in front of everyone's eyes until today, except for the first time when they appeared together, they have only seen one person after that. ”

"Didn't the two show up at the same time?"

"Yes, it is said that since they became famous overnight, the two of them have risen in value, and they rarely accept customers after that, unless they offer a high price, and even if someone can afford the price of two people, they can only see one person."

"Where did King Yu find out about this?"

"Some of the officials they cleared had entered the Twin Shadow Building."

"When the third brother and Xi Du come back, let's talk about it."

"What does the master think?" Beiming actually had some doubts in his heart, but he didn't know if his judgment was correct.

Gu Qingyan looked at him and asked, "Do you also think that the news we explored before is a little strange and what was said in this letter?" ”

"Yes."

Thinking about it carefully, the news they found before seemed to be a little too vague, and it was all the superficial phenomenon of Shuangying Building now, which made Gu Qingyan feel that these news were deliberately made up for them to explore, and maybe most of them were fake.

"Reply to King Yu, Ye Jinliang will leave it to King Yu for his own consideration, Nangong Rui's matter still needs to be investigated..."Saying that, Gu Qingyan waved his hand, "Forget it, prepare paper and pen." ”

It's better for her to write by herself, Su Xin heard that Gu Qingyan wanted to prepare paper and pen, put it on the table, studied the ink, and Gu Qingyan wrote the letter.

Handed it to Beiming: "Hurry up and reply to the past, if it is inconvenient for Yuwang to continue to investigate, introduce the right person to Yuhualou." ”

"Yes."

"By the way, what's going on with the old ghost?" Gu Qingyan still sat back on the soft couch.

Beiming said: "It's still the same, after the incense powder is sent, it will be studied directly, and the Gu worms will be raised as usual." ”

Gu Qingyan didn't say anything, in fact, he didn't know what he was thinking, so he asked: "How many days has it been since the last time I fed blood to Gu worms." ”

Beiming didn't know what to say and couldn't answer, so Su Xin counted the days on the side and said, "Master, today is the seventh day." ”

Gu Qingyan nodded and said to Beiming, "I'll go to Shimen tomorrow." ”

After that, let the two go out first, the room was quiet again, Gu Qingyan continued to make tea by herself, looking at the book, as if no one had been here just now.

Su Xin still came out with a cloak and sat under the railing, the matter in Beiming's hands was over, and he didn't have to go back to Shimen today, and found someone to pass on the matter of Gu Qingyan going to Shimen tomorrow for Holly, and he stayed to help Su Xin.

The crow-blue cloak is embroidered with a crane pattern embroidered by twisting feathers into threads, and the scratched place that Su Xin just saw is around the crane's wings, and the color of the crane's tail feathers is somewhat similar to the color of the cloak itself, so it takes a lot of effort to find it.

Beiming was dazzled and asked Su Xin: "Are you wrong?" ”

Su Xin shook his head desperately: "Impossible, you can take a good look at it again." ”

Su Xin remembered that Gu Qingyan's clothes looked better than her own, she said that there was, the two of them were stunned and looked around the cloak for a while, and finally saw different traces in the subtleties.

Beiming pointed to the position near the corner, picked his fingers, saw a scratch, and asked Su Xin: "What do you see this?" ”

Su Xin hurriedly said: "That's it, that's it." ”

It's one thing to find happiness here, but seeing this position and the silk thread used, Su Xin twisted his brows again.

Beiming asked, "What's wrong?" ”

Su Xin glanced at Beiming helplessly, and said: "This, just here in the crane feathers, is the needle embroidery method, but I can't." ”

Beiming stroked his head: "Why don't you ask Sanniang?" ”

With that, the two went to the small kitchen to find Shen Sanniang. When Shen Sanniang saw Su Xin's aggrieved appearance, she was still holding Gu Qingyan's cloak in her hand, thinking that there was something big.

As soon as she heard Beiming finish speaking, Shen Sanniang smiled: "You two come with me." ”

led the two back to their own room, found a basket with needle and thread, looked for a circle of thread but couldn't find it, and asked Beiming to go to the internal affairs workshop to get a roll of white and silver two-color thread.

Su Xin said: "There is it in the master's house." ”

After finishing speaking, he went back to the main house to get the line, Gu Qingyan saw Su Xin coming in to look for something, and asked casually: "Su Xin, what are you looking for?" ”

Su Xin obediently said about the cloak scratching, and said that Sanniang was remedy, Gu Qingyan didn't think it was anything, and said that she was really careless, so she let Su Xin take the line and go out.

Seeing Su Xin trotting out, Gu Qingyan took off the mask on her face, there was no one in the house, why did she care. Besides, the people around her can be so considerate, and there is a warmth in their hearts.
