Chapter 223: Scented Letterhead
In order to observe the killing of pigs for the first time, Song Lian and Hu Yan agreed earlier to ask Song Xiang to adjust the time to the afternoon of the next day, so as not to delay them from going to school or writing articles.
So after school, Song Lian packed up his books and pen and ink at an unprecedented speed, said hello to Shen Li, and was about to leave the school.
Shen Tian looked at his back and turned to Shen Li: "Why is he so happy?" β
"Because he kills pigs in his house."
Shen Tian sighed, and then said, "I also want to see the killing of pigs." β
Shen Li looked at her in disbelief: "What's so good about killing pigs?" β
"If it's not good-looking, then why does he want to see it?"
Shen Li felt unreasonable, turned his head and left with other children.
Shen Tian looked at the gate where Song Lian's figure had long been gone, lowered his shoulders, and left.
Song Lian put down the dishes and chopsticks first, and the butcher came with tools and started a stand in the yard where the pigsty was located. When Hu Yan arrived, he was just making preparations in advance, and then Hu Erye hid his face in horror while watching the whole process with great interest.
Song Xiang watched too much of this when he was a child, and he didn't feel terrible at all. On the contrary, I wondered how to cut the pig into pieces and marinate it after it was slaughtered.
The letter sent by my grandfather said that he would arrive in the capital in three or five days, and counting the time to deliver the letter, it was estimated that it would be tomorrow and the day after tomorrow.
And the doctor he made an appointment with didn't know when he would arrive? And did the doctor receive his letter?
Although Shen Yu's illness is precedent for the ending of his previous life, Song Xiang still hopes to do his best.
"Girl, Ah Shun is here."
While he was sitting in the hall, the flower came and stood beside him when he finished speaking. However, after a few days of training, the little girl has already remembered the rules, and her every move is quite steady.
Song Xiang turned his head and saw Ah Shun coming in in in the sun. As soon as Song Xiang asked Hua to pick up the handkerchief, Ah Shun took out a letter and said, "Girl, someone in the shop sent a letter today, saying that it was for you. β
Because Song Xiang was thinking about the doctor invited by his grandfather, he just thought that there was news, so he quickly tore open the mouth, and when he saw it, his brows frowned.
"Who wrote it?" Zheng Rong passed by here and asked casually.
"It's a pharmacist, and he wants to talk to me about the sale of medicinal materials, but I didn't go to the shop today, so he left a letter there and asked me to meet in a teahouse in Xicheng last morning, and said that he would not see him or something. - When was it delivered? She looked up and asked Ah Shun.
"It's been more than an hour," Ah Shun said, "the shop is busy, so I just took the time to deliver it to the girl." β
"Hasn't he been waiting for me there for an hour or two?"
Song Xiang looked at the sky and folded the letter. There is still a while before the noon dinner, but you can go over and take a look, after all, people are also sincere to come to the door, and it always seems rude not to say hello.
The moment the letter was folded, a vague fragrance floated in front of the tip of her nose, she frowned, moved the letter to the tip of her nose, and there was indeed a fragrance of fat powder on the paper - this is strange, how can there be a fragrance of fat powder on the paper given to her by the herb merchant? Isn't it possible that this herb merchant is still a woman?
She looked down and sniffed again, yes, although the smell was very light, but it was there.
"What's wrong?" Zheng Rong walked over.
"I don't think it's right." Song Xiang folded the letter and asked Ah Shun: "How did you receive this letter?" β
"When the man came, he inquired about the girl, and I said that the girl did not come to-day, so he took out this letter and gave it to me, and asked me to pass it on."
"Since you came here temporarily, how can you carry the letter with you?" Zheng Rong immediately found the suspicion, and also took the letter in her hand, smelling the smell on the letter, she said: "It's weird and crooked, it's not like a man can use it, why is it so strange?" β
If something goes wrong, there must be a demon, Song Xiang said: "I'll go and see first!" β
Su Mu happened to be under the corridor, and when he saw this, he said, "Where is the girl?" β
Ah Shun said from the side, and Su Mu said, "The little one goes with the girl!" β
Song Xiang didn't refuse, took him and went out.
"Wait!" Zheng Rong put down the dustpan and also walked over: "I'll go too." - Wang Ma Ah Shun looks at home! β

Lu Zhan had the intention of seizing this position with the King of Jin, so he went down to the palace early in the afternoon and arrived at the Yong'an Hou Mansion.
A few days ago, Xiao Zhenshan went to the palace to find him, but at that time he had no intention of coping, so he ignored it, feeling a little ashamed. Xiao Zhenshan immediately sent someone to cook the table and dishes, and asked him to leave lunch.
"I don't need lunch, I have to go to Nancheng when I go back. First of all, what did you do with me before? β
Xiao Zhenshan was not polite, sat down and said, it turned out that the Mid-Autumn Festival was getting closer and closer, according to the practice of previous years, this year's Autumn Festival also has the eldest princess's mansion, Xiao Zhenshan lost to Zhong Min, the prince of Nanping Hou three years ago, and this year he wants to break back a game to let Lu Zhan accompany him to practice riding and archery for a while.
Then he asked, "I see you've been quite busy lately, is there anything I can do?" You name it. β
How could Lu Zhan tell him that what he was busy with was the evidence of King Soujin? "When I ask you for help, how can I be polite?"
But it just so happened that he came over with a good intention, and after eating a cup of tea, he said: "There is a lack of experience in the Metropolitan Procuratorate, although the position is low, but you can also learn a lot of things, do you have any familiar and reliable people who want to enter?" β
Xiao Zhenshan raised his head: "The experience is an official of the sixth grade, how can it be low?" Speaking of this, he thought for a moment, and then said, "Then do you think I am suitable?" β
Lu Zhan inhaled slightly, holding the cup in his hand and did not make a sound.
"What, what's the problem?" Xiao Zhenshan saw it.
Lu Zhan didn't know how to tell him, so he pondered for a moment and decided to tell the truth: "The reason why I am embarrassed is because my father seems to be planning to arrange for someone to go in. If you do, you will be caught in the middle of it and it will be difficult to be a person. β
Xiao Zhenshan was confused: "Lord Wang's fortress, you should cooperate and help, why do you have to find someone again?" β
"Because I think it's more reliable to be my own people." Lu Zhan looked over with a sincere look on his face, "There are some things that I'm still not sure about." β
Although Princess Jin and Miaoxin have no evidence of King Jin in their hands, since he is the unshirkable No. 1 suspect, then he naturally can't trust King Jin anymore, and the person recommended by Xiao Zhenshan will inevitably be more reliable than King Jin.
And it is too naΓ―ve to expect a murderer who is likely to have killed his family in his previous life to take care of the "father and son" for 17 years.
Xiao Zhenshan was cautious in his words, but he understood that Lu Zhan was guarding against disputes between the three emperors and grandsons in the palace, so he didn't think about the father and son at all, so he nodded and said, "You are very worried." β
But after two sips of tea, he still said, "No matter what, you won't back down, will you?" β
