Chapter 216 is true and false, false and true
In the middle of the night, the streets are closed everywhere.
Wei Shuying yawned a few times, and walked forward listlessly, saying as he walked: "Xiao Yu'er, I am wading with you in any troubled water, after today's episode, I am afraid that I will not be able to wash it by jumping into the river." ”
"Who in the capital doesn't know that you are a scholar of Wei University, who has a romantic nature, countless confidants, and can be washed?"
"My Fair Lady, good gentleman, I don't talk about the wind and snow with the Yiren, do you want to go home and talk to Zhu Xiaozhen about the art of war?" Wei Shuying smiled, "But these girls in the capital are really not as tender as Jiangnan women, no wonder Xiao Yu'er has to go to Jiangnan to find a confidant." ”
Wei Shuying thought about this and asked with interest: "By the way, what about the one before you, who is the young lady, why didn't you come to Beijing?" You don't have a tigress at home, what are you afraid of? ”
Gu Chuyu only responded lightly: "It's inconvenient." ”
"Yo, yes, this is the first time you've admitted it!" Wei Shuying was inevitably a little excited, and pointed at Gu Chuyu and said, "Who's daughter, whose surname is whom, is not recruited from the truth." ”
Gu Chuyu brushed aside his hand and didn't want to answer.
Wei Shuying was bored. He hasn't known Chu Yu for a day or two, and he knows that if Chu Yu doesn't want to say it, no one can ask the bottom line. If you want to say it, you will be more direct than anyone else, and no one needs to ask at all.
Wei Shuying shook his head helplessly, and in a blink of an eye, he saw a figure coming from under the moonlight, even though he couldn't see the girl's face from too far, he saw that her figure was graceful, her demeanor was dignified, and her slender steps were like a lotus in one step, which was really eye-catching.
Wei Shuying looked at the figure and couldn't help but pat Gu Chuyu, "Xiao Yu'er, I take back what I just said." ”
"What?"
"The women in the capital are not as good as the girls in the south of the Yangtze River, I didn't expect that there are such beauties in the capital, they are really born every step of the way, and they look forward to it." Wei Shuying was amazed.
Gu Chuyu glanced in the direction of Wei Shuying, and froze his gaze just for a glance. What a Beijing woman, that's a Jiangnan girl.
Dressed in a long blue dress, she walked alone through the streets, sometimes looking at the buildings to the left and right, sometimes at the sky, her eyes shining like water during the day and brighter than the stars at night. As Wei Shuying said, look forward to life.
She walked slowly forward, as if from a painting......
Wei Shuying said eagerly and excitedly: "Xiao Yu'er, I want to recite poetry for a while, you help me think about it, what is the most appropriate comparison for this girl?" ”
"It's useless for you to chant anything, she doesn't understand it, and she's not interested."
"What do you mean?" Wei Shuying frowned, "Then how should I talk to me?" ”
Gu Chuyu didn't pay much attention to Wei Shuying, he looked at the people who came and didn't take his eyes off for a moment. It was the first time he had seen her face unveiled.
The two stayed where they were, and it wasn't long before she saw them. She was just stunned, as if she didn't expect to meet, but she didn't plan to hide, and walked towards them generously.
Wei Shuying rubbed her eyes, "Xiao Yu'er, this girl is so familiar, have we met somewhere?" ”
"Not only have I seen it, but I know it."
Wei Shuying was wondering, the person who came was already in front of him, he saw that this girl's face was really familiar, but he never remembered where he had seen it.
Gu Chuyu just raised the corners of his mouth and asked, "Why are you dressed like this?" ”
"Got business." Mei Xiaoren looked around calmly.
With a flower-like appearance and a sand-like voice, Wei Shuying could tell who it was just by his voice, and he was taken aback: "Brother Mei...... It's you? ”
Mei Xiaoren smiled and nodded.
Gu Chuyu asked again: "What business?" ”
"There's a flower thief in the capital, and I want to try my luck with this trick."
Gu Chuyu locked his eyebrows, "Alone, not to mention the danger, if you really meet a thief, can you catch it?" ”
Mei Xiaoren leaned over slightly, leaned into his ear and told him, "There is an official errand behind." ”
When she got close, Gu Chuyu smelled a faint fragrance exuding from her, which made people greedy.
Wei Shuying walked around Mei Xiaoren a few times, and couldn't help but sigh: "Brother Mei, you are dressed like this, but you are more iconic than the top brand of Pillow Moon Tower, if I am a flower thief, I can be fooled by you." ”
Gu Chuyu also took advantage of this rare opportunity to look her up and down, and inadvertently saw a place, a place that she had deliberately disguised on weekdays, and then he looked aside.
Mei Xiaoren saw Gu Chuyu's look of wanting to laugh and endure, and then lowered his head, saw his undulating places, and immediately understood what he was laughing at.
She was helpless, put her hand into the neckline, took out an orange, peeled the orange peel with heavy eyes, and said: "I came out for a walk, but I didn't catch anyone, and my stomach was hungry first." ”
She half-peeled it and stopped, put her hand into her collar again, took out another one from the other side, and handed it to them: "I have another one here, will you eat it?" ”
Gu Chuyu was slightly shocked and shook his head.
"I'm hungry, I'll eat." Wei Shuying smiled, and was about to reach out to pick it up, but was blocked by Gu Chuyu with his hand.
The boss took his food before him, so he naturally didn't dare to complain, but just snatched his oranges, and glared at him.
Gu Chuyu said to Mei Xiaoren: "It's not too early, go back and rest, and leave the matter of catching the thief to your subordinates." ”
"Okay." Mei Xiaoren replied, and said with a smile, "The two adults will also go back to rest earlier, and they will not be sent away." ”
After parting, Gu Chuyu and Wei Shuying left in the direction of the street, while Mei Xiaoren continued to walk forward, eating oranges as they walked.
It's a bit risky for her to come out to catch a thief like this, if she doesn't stuff two oranges and then naturally take them out in front of others, how can she make others believe that she is a man?
In fact, she didn't know about the case of the flower thief before. Although the flower thieves harmed some girls, most of their families did not report to the authorities, and most of them took care of the girl's family's reputation.
Until now, only one family has reported to the police, and that is the old man she met on the street before.
The old woman's daughter was one of the victims, but she failed to attract the attention of Tao Fuyin after she reported to the government, and the case was shelved until the next year, no wonder people blamed them for the government's inaction.
A long time has passed, the clues have been difficult to find, and those people don't talk about it, Mei Xiaoren can only think of such a way to try his luck.
However, the flower thief did not meet, but met the prime minister and the scholar of the guard.
Mei Xiaoren wondered, why did the two of them rarely show up in the market, but tonight they were walking around the streets in their regular clothes.
Just when she was puzzled, a pavilion in front of her caught her attention. Most of the shops on the street have closed, and only the one is still open.
Mei Xiaoren approached and saw a name written on the plaque that she had heard recently-Pillow Moon Tower.
