Is it hypocritical? Qiao Ran snorted lightly and went out noncommittally.

The doubts have been solved.

However, she was not prepared to close the case now. Once the case is concluded, it does not fall under the jurisdiction of Dali Temple, and the prisoner has to submit it to the Criminal Department, and it will not be easy to interfere at that time.

Therefore, she was still waiting, waiting for the reaction of Lady Xue that Zhen Shiyuan could test. However, just as Zhen Shiyuan said, Lady Xue who always wears a "dignified and atmospheric" mask has already cultivated Mount Tai without changing her color, and it is not easy to see a few clues from her face.

Qiao Ran stood on the patio in front of the back office and thought about things.

"Mistress Joe." When Xu Hexiu passed by with a dossier, he saw her standing in a daze, walked up to her, stretched out his hand and shook it in front of her, and asked, "What are you doing?" ”

The girl in front of her is a girl who has not reached her in any way, but it always feels strange for the girl to be in a daze with a young girl.

The little girl next to her may think about the wind and snow in a daze, and the things she thinks about in a daze are probably much more terrifying for ordinary men.

Qiao Ran, who came back to his senses like this, said "oh", looked at the sky, and said, "It's time, it's time to be on duty!" ”

This natural reaction was natural and Xu Hexiu was dumbfounded: "Master Qiao, you are really the first person in Dali Temple to stay for a moment at this point." ”

"What are you doing in the yamen after the matter is done?" Qiao Ran smiled and asked him casually, "What are you going to do?" ”

Xu Hexiu sighed and said, "What else can you do?" Sort out the case file of Yuanheng Qianzhuang and see if there are any loopholes or anything to send to Lord Zhen. ”

Qiao Ran remembered that the case of Yuanheng Qianzhuang was shelved: I was originally going to the Ministry of Industry to get the files, but I didn't know that most of the files in the Ministry of Industry's treasury were damp and moldy, and now they are mobilizing manpower to help repair the files, so naturally there is no way to borrow them, and the case has come to a standstill.

Having said that, this case is really full of twists and turns, and every time Zhen Shiyuan puffs up his energy and prepares to make a move, there will always be all kinds of accidents that make the case stop.

But this accident doesn't seem to be a problem. Because of the heavy snow in Chang'an before, not only the Ministry of Industry, but also the rest of the Yamen even Dali Temple has a lot of files damp, but fortunately, the officials of Dali Temple often go to the treasury to borrow files to read, and they have been reading something. Except for some files that are always piled up in the corners and not looked at and taken care of, the rest of the files are fine, especially those that are often borrowed, and the more diligent they are, the more they are not affected.

The files in the Ministry of Industry's treasury were so damp that they could not be borrowed, which shows that this time it suffered serious damage from the dampness. Of course, this can also be seen that most people, even the officials of the Ministry of Industry and the Yamen themselves, do not seem to attach much importance to the files in their own yamen treasury.

The file could not be borrowed, so Xu Hexiu could only check the existing information at hand again. And these things are trivial and complicated, which makes people drowsy to watch.

After tidying up for a day, Xu Hexiu had already sorted out his sleepy eyes, and it can really be said that the more serious he looked, the more sleepy people became.

As he spoke, Xu Hexiu stretched out his hand and yawned, and said, "I'm going to go to Xie Zhi for a drink after I get off duty......"

"I'm looking for him too, so let's go together!" The girl said.

Xu Hexiu was shocked when he heard this, as if he was frightened, he thought for a while and said, "Didn't that old doctor from Jinling come to you yesterday?" You don't have to hang out with him today to fulfill the friendship of the landlord? ”

"You said Doctor Feng!" Qiao Ran spread her hands and said with a smile: "I asked Hongdou and them to accompany Doctor Feng for a walk." ”

Xu Hexiu said "oh", and when he saw the girl standing in front of him, his face suddenly became happy, he coughed, and said, "From here to the Heavenly Master Dao, we have to walk a long way, why don't we go to Baishenglou and wait for the solution?" ”

Every time Master Qiao is here, this rare solution in this prime day will become extremely generous. Originally, he was going to find a roadside tavern to drink with Xie Zhi, but since Master Qiao was here, the roadside tavern was naturally not good. Why are you embarrassed to let the girls eat with them at the roadside tavern? This is not right! Xu Hexiu was full of confidence in his heart.

Qiao Ran glanced at him: Xu Hexiu really wrote everything in his heart on his face. However, as a disciple of the Xu family and a first-class powerful gate valve in the capital, the Xu family can really be regarded as a clear stream.

"No wonder your tenth sister wants to write a book to make money." Qiao Ran said, "It's really thrifty. ”

"Ten sisters are not thrifty!" Unexpectedly, as soon as these words came out, Xu Hexiu snorted coldly, and then said to Qiao Ran, "Master Qiao, do you know that there was an annual auction in Jubaoxing yesterday...... By the way, Master Joe, do you know about the auction of the treasure shop? ”

The girl looked at him and shook her head.

Xu Hexiu saw her shaking her head, and immediately showed an expression that was really like this, and then asked her with a little pride: "Jubao Shop is the largest pawn shop in the city, and there are semicolons all over Dachu, and you also have one in Jinling, haven't you seen it before?" ”

Qiao Ran shook her head, glanced at him, and said meaningfully, "Have you forgotten?" I was in Jinling, but everyone said that I grew up in the countryside in the suburbs, how could I understand these things? ”

What the hell rednecks! Xu Hexiu couldn't help twitching the corners of his mouth when he heard this, and raised his hand to support his forehead weakly in front of the girl's serious appearance, and then said: "In short, it is a very famous pawn shop, there is an auction every year, and the ones who appear at the auction are all priceless treasures, and the jewelry shops and jewelry shops that are put outside can be compared to the treasures of the town shop." ”

The treasure of the town...... Qiao Ran pursed her lips, sighed, and said, "It is also very beautiful to think that so many treasures of the town shop are here at this price, so Miss Xu Shi sold it at yesterday's auction?" And came back with a very expensive thing? ”

"It's not just expensive, do you know what she filmed?" Xu Hexiu's eyes couldn't help but be a little angry as he spoke, as if he was angry as soon as he thought of this, "She took a picture of the seal that was on the side of the front and the left!" ”

The girl still looked at him calmly, and asked, "What is the seal on the side of the front and left?" ”

Such a calm appearance made Xu Hexiu's throat block like a stone, and he panicked aggrievedly.

It is true that it is rare for Master Qiao, who is calm and almost omniscient, to ask him so humbly, which is said to be a good opportunity to show off his "knowledge", but when he thinks that even if he explains it clearly, he may not be able to understand the preciousness of outsiders like her who do not understand its value, and he has a deep sense of powerlessness.

"The former Chao Zuo Gong is a well-known craftsman, he is ...... Well, you know the craftsman as the supervisor and the chief eunuch! Xu Hexiu tried her best to find someone she could know as an analogy.

Sure enough, at the mention of Eunuch Dong, the girl showed a look of understanding: "It's a craftsman as powerful and outstanding as Eunuch Dong!" ”

"No, no, how can Eunuch Dong compare with Zuo Gong?" Hearing this, Xu Hexiu couldn't help but hurriedly correct her words, and said, "Of course, Eunuch Dong is also extremely powerful, and it is not an exaggeration to say that he is one of the most powerful craftsmen in the world, but this is still different. Regardless of ability, ability and status, Dong Dajian cannot be compared with Zuo Gong. Well, it's not bad to understand, but Zhang Daoling enshrined in the same temple can't be compared. ”

"I understand. Predecessors are to be respected," the girl said, "but Zhang Xie is very powerful." ”

The eccentricity is so obvious! Xu Hexiu had cold sweat on his forehead, and rubbed his eyebrows helplessly: "This analogy is also inappropriate, in short, Zuo Gong's power is called three hundred years before and after, and there is no one who is better than the right." ”

Qiao Ran said: "That's not necessarily, future generations stand on the shoulders of their predecessors, and they can naturally see further." Not people of the same era, there is simply no way to compare. ”

Xu Hexiu had a headache for a while, decided to bypass this topic, coughed, and summarized concisely: "In short, Zuo Gong is a very powerful craftsman, this auction is his perennial hanging seal on his side, also known as 'Zuo Gongyin', many folk collections are looking for this 'Zuo Gongyin', known as Zuo Gongyin's status in the ancient seal is like the status of "Orchid Pavilion Preface" in calligraphy and painting......"

"You've already used this metaphor, I've already heard it." The girl interrupted him with her mouth and said quietly, "Anyway, it's the first seal in the world, right?" ”

Xu Hexiu nodded again and again after hearing this, but then as if he had thought of something again, he shook his head and said, "I can't say that, the first seal in the world should be the one in His Majesty's hand." ”

The Seal of the State. Qiao Ran smiled, but had no objection to this. This is really true, compared to the collection of everyone to understand the value of the Zuo Gong seal, the value of the national seal can be said that no one in the world does not understand, this is a seal that can stir up the world, is the real first seal in the world.

"So, Miss Xu Shi took a picture of Zuo Gongyin and spent a lot of money!" Qiao Ran asked him.

"yes!" Xu Hexiu's eyes turned red when he heard her mention "money" again, "Among our Xu family brothers and sisters, the most generous one is the tenth sister, especially since she wrote that book, she has been making money every day, just for a piece of Zuo Gongyin, I see that the things in her room are about to be emptied......"

Thinking of Xu Hexiu's distressed expression at that time when he "knew that money was not easy to come by since he was a child", Qiao Ran comforted him and said: "Your tenth sister is not spending your money, so forget it!" ”

"My tenth sister promised me that she would give me a high-grade grinding inkstone for my birthday this year." Xu Hexiu glanced at Qiao Ran angrily and said, "Now that it's gone, how can you say that it's not my money that was spent?" ”

Is this his money good?

Qiao Ran was silent and said, "What can I do then?" The flowers are spent, and besides, I am happy to buy it for a thousand dollars, and your tenth sister likes it, so let her go! ”

Originally, it was just a casual reassurance, but as soon as these words came out, Xu Hexiu became even more angry, and he said: "If it is really her own liking, it would be fine, but this Zuo Gongyin was not taken for her at all, and I just know such a person who likes Zuo Gongyin......"

Looking at the complicated and indescribable look on Xu Hexiu's face, Qiao Ran suddenly understood something for a moment, and blurted out: "Xie Chengze? ”

"Not bad! It's Xie Chengze! Xu Hexiu hated and said, "The tenth sister was filmed for him, if this is a man who is not familiar with me, I have to secretly find someone to beat him with a sack, but this person is Cheng Ze, and he can't beat him, but it makes me angry!" ”

Qiao Ran was silent and said, "Your tenth sister and Xie Chengze have a good relationship, which is also a good thing, as a brother, you should be broad-minded!" ”

Xu Hexiu snorted and said: "There was more than one fool in yesterday's auction, my tenth sister, the Zuo Gongyin was the second highest price in the auction yesterday, and the highest auction price was a set of a complete set of heads and faces that the famous female craftsman Gongsun Niangzi of the previous dynasty spent ten years building, and I don't know which one was auctioned." Saying that, he couldn't help but gloat a little, "My tenth sister is the money she earned, and she was still told by the family when she emptied her belongings, I want to inquire which family took it, and go back and ask Xie Zhi to help reveal the news to his family, then she has to be disabled by the elders of the family." ”

Qiao Ran said, "...... Maybe people are affectionate and want to surprise their sweetheart! ”

"One was patted for the woman, and the other was patted for the man." Xu Hexiu snorted twice and said, "There are rumors in folk history that Zuo Gong and Gongsun Niangzi are on good terms, and yesterday's auction was really full of these greasy things, and when I see and understand it, I have to tell him." ”

Qiao Ran smiled and shook her head.

Xu Hexiu, who was emptied by his tenth sister's belongings but not for his brother, muttered a few times, and couldn't help but ask Qiao Ran a little puzzled: "You women like to spend a lot of money like this?" ”

If it's all like this...... Xu Hexiu was a little scared, he was very strapped for money, he really had to spend a lot of money, if it wasn't for the family to help him set up a marriage, if he wanted to find it himself, it was estimated that he would be beaten a bachelor in this life.

"I don't know." Qiao Ran thought for a while and said, "Look at people!" If it's given by someone you like, no matter what, as long as he cares about it and tries his best to get it for me, I like it. If it's not from someone you like, it will only add to your troubles. ”

Hearing this, Xu Hexiu was even more worried: "What you said is the same as what you didn't say!" ”

Qiao Ran spread her hands: "This is not something that can be explained clearly in a few words!" ”

Xu Hexiu twisted his eyebrows and did not speak.

After talking to Tang Zhongyuan, Qiao Ran and Xu Hexiu walked out of the yamen and walked to Baisheng Tower, along the way, Xu Hexiu was still chattering, thinking that he was really stimulated by the auction of Jubao Store yesterday.

Until he entered Baisheng Building, Xu Hexiu was still chattering: "I will definitely explain what my tenth sister did yesterday, and I haven't married yet!" is willing to scatter all his belongings for Chengze, if he really marries, then he can pay it back? ”

Qiao Ran hummed casually and Xu Hexiu followed the guy to the private room upstairs, pushed the door into the house, and Zhang Xie had already arrived.

There were already side dishes and snacks on the table, Xu Hexiu hurriedly glanced at them, and his face couldn't help but show a little more triumph.

Each of them is the latest new dish in Yum Lou, and you know that Master Qiao is there, and the solution must be extraordinarily generous.

I knew this was the case, I should let the tenth sister learn from Xie Zhi, if I really want to please Chengze, I don't necessarily have to have Zuo Gongyin! Anything else is okay too.

Today's Zhang Xie seemed to be a little different from usual, he had a little more smile on his face, and walked to Qiao Ran's side with a carved sandalwood box, and said, "I have something I want to give you!" ”

Sending something? Xu Hexiu looked back and saw that the carved sandalwood box was opened, surrounded by pearls and emeralds, and the moment it was opened, the room was full of light.

A gorgeous set of women's heads is quietly placed in a box.
