Chapter 323: The Case
Summer in the south came earlier than expected, and it was only in May, and it was already a little hot.
Early in the morning, Du Rongzhi discussed with Yuan Yuan and others about going to the tailor shop to take down people's summer clothes - this is not comparable to the Guogong Mansion, there is a ready-made needlework team at home, and now except for the clothes of a few masters, the others have been asked to measure the size and ask outsiders to make them.
Song Zixun listened to Du Rongzhi's words, and couldn't help but raise his head and glance at her lightly, "When they are ready, they will naturally send it, and it will be the same if you ask someone to get it...... Why bother running your own errands? As he spoke, his slender hand had already picked up a spoon and scooped a bowl of wolfberry porridge and put it in front of Du Rongzhi.
Du Rongzhi waved her hand and asked Yuanyuan and them to go down to prepare, and took the spoon handed by Song Zixun, "I want to go out for a walk myself." ”
She scooped up the porridge and took a sip, remembering, "By the way, the last time you asked you to help me find a shop, did you have eyebrows?" ”
Song Zixun's hand peeling the egg paused slightly, "I'm already looking for it." He skillfully broke the egg white from the middle, and the yellow and clear egg yolk rolled into Du Rongzhi's plate, "The right shop doesn't mean that you can have it, and you shouldn't be too anxious." ”
Du Rongzhi understood that what he said was the truth, thought about it and said, "If you really can't find a suitable one, you can actually consider a slightly worse location." ”
"Okay." He put the egg white on the plate in front of him, quickly picked up another one, and peeled it gracefully, "Or?" ”
Du Rongzhi shook her head, "Don't." ”
Song Zixun smiled gently, "Eat quickly, I'll accompany you after eating." ”
……………………………………
After breakfast and settling down, Song Zixun accompanied Du Rongzhi to the tailor's shop to look at the clothes.
The two got off the sedan car early and walked on the crowded street.
On the way, he passed by a juggling, and there were several circles of people inside and out, Du Rongzhi was also a little curious, and was about to pull Song Zi over to see the excitement, when he suddenly saw a team of officials wearing silk clothes coming over.
When everyone saw him, they hurriedly saluted and said, "Lord Song." ”
Song Zixun bowed slightly, and asked lightly, "What's the matter?" ”
The head catcher led by the head hurriedly stepped forward and said, "I received a report from the yamen just now, saying that a girl died in Huo Yuanwai's family, and his subordinates and others were about to go over to investigate......
Before he finished speaking, Song Zixun felt that there was a way of looking at him warmly.
He thought for a moment, "You go first, and I'll be there later." ”
"Yes, the subordinates retired." The head catcher arched his hand towards Song Zixun, and then led the people to stride away.
When the group walked away, Song Zixun looked at Du Rongzhi and raised his eyebrows lightly, "Do you want to go too?" ”
Du Rongzhi pursed her lips embarrassedly and said with a smile, "In this way, I'm afraid it's not good, right?" ”
After a cup of tea, Du Rongzhi was already sitting in Song Zixun's sedan chair.
Song Zixun squinted at her, "...... Didn't you just say it's not good? ”
Du Rongzhi stroked the folds on her skirt and said with a serious face, "I heard Mrs. He say last time that Huo Yuanwai is quite tasteful, and the garden he designed is the most elegant in the entire Shanyin County...... It just so happens that I've been idle at home lately, and I'm thinking about making the garden again, so I'll take a look at it with you today, and maybe I'll find some inspiration in it. ”
"......" Song Zixun looked at her silently for a while, and then said, "I found that you have become thicker and thicker recently." ”
Du Rongzhi tilted her head and thought about it, and said, "It's about the black of the ink." ”04
……………………………………
When Song Zixun and Du Rongzhi arrived, Huo Yuanwai was comforting Aunt Gu who was crying in the room.
Gu's was born weak and coquettish, at this time, the powder was fading, and the pear blossoms brought rain, which made people feel distressed.
Gu instinctively shrank into Huo Yuanwai's arms, and asked in a choked voice, "He...... How did they come? ”
Huo Yuanwai was also a little puzzled, so he only patted her comfortingly and said, "You have a good rest, I'll go out and have a look." ”
Gu's mind turned a few times, and before Huo Yuanwai could get up, he reached out and grabbed him, and said, "Master, wait...... The concubine accompanied the master to go outside to entertain guests. ”
Huo Yuanwai paused and hesitated, "This ......"
Gu Shi wiped the tears on his face and said softly, "As soon as Lord Song and Mrs. Song come back, we can't be rude...... snubbed Mrs. Song. ”
Now there is only one hostess in the family, and she is indeed the only one who can accompany the female dependents, but it is ......
Seeing Huo Yuan's embarrassed appearance outside, Gu Shi choked up and said, "The concubine understands what the master is worried about...... her voice was stunned, and she didn't know what she thought for a while, and she burst into tears again, "Although Xiaohong was disrespectful and collided with Mrs. Song in Wanfu Jinlou last time, the concubine did not stop it in time as the master, and it was also wrong...... Now that Xiaohong is gone, the concubine should go to make compensation to Mrs. Song again......" said and couldn't help but cry loudly.
Huo Yuanwai sighed, "That's it, in that case, you can go with me......" He paused, and then admonished, "In front of Mrs. Song, remember to be cautious in your words and deeds, don't lose your manners." ”
Gu Shi hurriedly responded, "Don't worry, the concubine can save her body." ”
……………………………………
Song Zixun and Du Rongzhi were led to the front hall to drink tea by the housekeeper of Huofu.
Song Zi slowly wiped the tea leaves in the bowl, "How?" Got inspired? ”
Du Rongzhi was looking around, and was slightly stunned when she heard the words, before nodding and saying, "It's really inspiring...... Why don't we go to the yard where the crime occurred again? ”
Song Zixun looked at her speechlessly.
"It's all here, you have to take a look at it, don't you?" She actively lobbied, "Didn't you say that Mrs. Xianhuo had been raising a baby in that yard before she died? I guess the view must be the best in the whole province......"
"Aren't you afraid?" Song Zixun said helplessly, "That kind of scene is not what you should see as a woman." ”
Du Rongzhi pursed her lips, and was about to speak, when she heard a sound of footsteps outside.
"I don't know that Lord Song and Mrs. Song came to the cold house, and Huo Mou missed the ...... I hope that the Lord and Mrs. will forgive their sins. I saw a handsome and straight middle-aged man striding in, followed by a petite woman behind him, it was Gu Yun, an aunt who had a two-sided relationship with Du Rongzhi.
"Huo Yuanwai doesn't have to be polite." Song Zixun smiled lightly, "I also just went out with Neizi, and I accidentally heard that there was an accident in the house, so I came over to take a look." ”
Huo Yuanwai sighed, "I don't know how this happened...... It's really unfortunate at home, unfortunate at home! ”
As soon as he finished speaking, Gu Shi let out two low sobs at the right time.
Song Zixun looked at it coldly, frowned, and said, "This is ......"
Gu Shi hurriedly wiped his tears, and Chu Chu said pitifully, "The folk woman Gu has seen Lord Song, Mrs. Song. ”
