Chapter 63: The Incense Next Door (One Shift)
Hua Jingyao didn't speak, turned around and came to the courtyard: "I remember that what you found was that in the entire incense alley, only this one is a separate courtyard, and the others are all miscellaneous courtyards, right?" ”
Shi Yi hurriedly said: "Yes, the girl remembered correctly, the landlord's family now lives in the courtyard next door." ”
"Well, what about this side? Have you been there and asked? Hua Jingyao asked, pointing to the west wall.
Shi Yidao: "I asked, all the people who live in it are rented houses." Coincidentally, the landlord of the house is surnamed Hao, who was originally the son of the Qian Shilang Mansion of the Ministry of Industry, and the Qian family took pity on their family a few years ago and gave the family a registration, although they are still working in the Qian family, they are no longer slaves, this yard is the Hao family, and the Hao family has another place to live in the Qian Mansion, so the house will be rented out to make some surplus money. ”
"Qian Shilang of the Ministry of Works, is that unhappy Qian Bu angry?" Hua Jingyao couldn't help but bend her eyes, speaking of Qingyuan's Bofu being demoted, thanks to the Qian family's Qian family's Qian Yushi.
Shi Yi smiled: "The girl has a really good memory, she is the one who doesn't hate the money." ”
"Although Qian Shilang is unhappy all day, he seems to be good to the people in the house." Hua Jingyao said sincerely.
"Yes, the Qian family is the bloodline of the lord of Roukang, and the ancestors have produced champions, and their temperament is first-class, but they are ...... temperament" Shi Yi smiled and stopped talking, there are some things that he can't say.
"Weird temper, huh? I have heard people talk about it before, saying that those generals who are on the border will be polite when they see the Qian family, is it true? "This is what she heard in the palace in her previous life, Zhao Qian looked at the Qian family tighter than his eyes, and if the Qian family wanted to release it, he would never agree.
"It's true, our firearms battalion and artillery battalion in Da Zhou were all built by the lord of Roukang." Shi Yi said.
"It's a pity that I was born many years later, and I couldn't see the genius Roukang County Lord with my own eyes, by the way, you just heard that this house has something to do with the Qian family, so you didn't go in to check it, right?" Hua Jingyao turned her words and looked at Shi Yi with blazing eyes.
Shi Yi was embarrassed, the girl was right, he did think so, most of the people in the capital would think like this, the three thorns of the Qian family...... Don't talk about it, just look at the nearest Qingyuan Bofu.
"Girl, the door of that house is locked, and all the people who live in it have gone out, so the little ones don't have ......," Shi Yi said.
"You will follow me to do things in the future, and you must learn to use your eyes and heart in everything, like this time, I asked you to inquire about the incense alley, there is a house related to the whole family, but you have not told me until now, if I don't ask, will you not say it? Or do you think it's an inconsequential thing that can't be called a clue, right? Hua Jingyao said.
A layer of sweat beads appeared on Shi Yi's forehead, and he hurriedly knelt down: "The girl taught the little one that was really negligent and self-righteous." ”
"Well, you don't have experience yet, I don't blame you this time, but don't have a second time like this, if you do it again next time, you don't have to follow me, go back to the house to take care of the family." Hua Jingyao was unceremonious, some things can't be appeased, if you appease once, there will be a next time. A, B, C, and D should grow up as soon as possible and become her right-hand man like in the previous life.
"The girl is taught!" Shi Yi couldn't wait to slap himself, this time he was not only self-righteous, but also self-inflictedly smart.
"I said I don't blame you this time, get up, we still have business to do." Hua Jingyao said.
"Please, girl." Shi Yi got up and stood with his hands down.
"Let's go to the west courtyard to check now, I'm talking about us, me and the little fox are going over", Hua Jingyao looked at Shi Ding who was standing stupidly on the side, "You are responsible for scooping out all the water in this big tank." ”
Sting hadn't figured out why the second brother was taught a lesson by the girl, but what the girl said must be right, that is, the second brother did something wrong.
"Does the girl suspect that the body is hiding in the water tank? I just jumped in and had a look, and I didn't have to dig out all the water. Sting said as he rolled up his sleeves and trouser legs.
Hua Jingyao glanced at the dirty water, and said with a smile: "On this hot day, the smell of the corpse hiding under it for three days has already come out, do you think you can escape the nose of the little fox?" You scoop the water clean, I want to see this tank. ”
"Good!" Sting said loudly.
The little fox had already run under the west wall and patted himself on the shoulder: "Sister, I'll carry you up." ”
Hua Jingyao pointed at him and asked suspiciously, "This wall is so high, can you carry me up?" ”
She originally wanted Shi Yi and the others to go up first, put a rope down, and pull herself up.
"I can!" The little fox proudly said that he would not fall to his sister, he would not.
"Don't worry, girl, this kid is very hard." As soon as the words came out, Shi Yi regretted it. The girl is already twelve years old, although the little fox is only three years old, but how can he be fifteen or sixteen, let him carry the girl to the wall, is this good?
"Okay, come on!" Hua Jingyao did not hesitate and pressed the little fox's shoulder.
Shi Yi hurriedly stretched out his hand and wanted to help the little raccoon, but the little raccoon had already climbed the wall, like a raccoon cat, and jumped into the yard next door in a blink of an eye.
This courtyard is much bigger than the one just now, and it is also quite exquisite. The paint on the doors and windows is very new, the windows of the main house and the east wing are open, and the smell of Buddha as soon as you enter the courtyard is wafting out of the windows of these two houses.
Many people think that Buddha incense will only smell after it is lit, but a lot of Buddha incense is piled up in one place, and it will smell even if it is not lit.
These two families should have sold incense in Guangji Temple, and there were a lot of incense and candles stored at home, and the windows were opened to ventilate and disperse the smell.
The doors and windows of the west wing are closed, and the door is not like the other two houses, with wooden barrels, wooden basins, brooms, and dustpans, but is clean and clean, not like a resident.
Hua Jingyao walked over, pulled out a very thin hairpin on her head, and poked a drum in the keyhole, Shi Yi was startled, and her voice turned in a circle with a small water vortex: "Girl, are you ......?"
Before he could finish his words, he heard a click, and the lock on Saigo's door opened.
Hua Jingyao turned her head and comforted him: "If you want to learn, I can teach you, but you can't teach your subordinates." ”
Just kidding, if the guards of the Eldest Princess's Mansion all learn to slip the door and pick the lock...... Forget it, don't think about it.
Shi Yi didn't know whether to nod or shake his head.
Hua Jingyao pushed open the door and raised her legs to walk in, but her feet shrank back before she stepped into the threshold.
The sunlight spreads in obliquely, and everything in the outer room of the wing room is clear at a glance.
There was a lot of dust on the ground, and there were footprints that could be seen with the naked eye.
The house must have been uninhabited for a long time, but the footprints were not covered in dust, and it was still new.
