"August 14?" Wang Liang looked at Qi Lian and scratched his head......

Qi Lian immediately replied: "On August 14, I made moon cakes in the backyard with a few senior brothers. He said and asked, "Isn't it?" ”

Everyone nodded along with the nod.

Song Ning looked at Wang Liang and waited for him to answer.

"I remember, that day I was here to make mooncakes with everyone that day, and then I went to Temple Street, bought two lanterns for my nephew and went home."

"When I got home, I heard the news of Su Yan's accident, and I went over."

Song Ning looked at the two of them and asked again, "Are you familiar with Su Yan?" When did he get into the game, when did he leave, and how many years have you known each other? ”

"He came to the game with me for a year, I was twelve and he was sixteen, and he was four years older than me." Qi Lian remembered very clearly, "They are all senior brothers, even if the relationship is not good enough, but they are also very familiar." ”

Song Ning looked at Wang Liang.

"Me and him are okay, he's my brother-in-law. As long as I am in the capital, we will see each other almost every day. Wang Liang said.

Song Ning nodded: "So as your brother-in-law, what kind of person do you think he is?" ”

"He's a very honest man." Wang Liangdao.

Song Ning's gaze swept over everyone, everyone looked indifferent, and no one was ready to add.

"Got it." Song Ning got up and suddenly asked again, "Wang Liang, is your sister feeling better?" I'm going to visit her now, is it convenient? ”

Wang Liang frowned, looked at Kang Qingdu, the latter nodded, Wang Liangcai said: "If you want to see you, you can see it now, I'll take you there." ”

"She's here?"

Wang Liang bowed his head and made a gesture of please.

Song Ning followed him around a small courtyard, to the back of which looked like a dormitory and a warehouse in a row of upside-down seats.

"She's in the room." Wang Liang pointed to the door of a room on the far right, and was about to speak, when a person came out of the room, looked at him and said, "Senior brother, Sister Mei is making a fuss about eating osmanthus cake, I'll go buy some ......" He pointed to Song Ning and said in surprise, "It's Lord Xiao Song, why are you here?" ”

"Qian Li Lane?" Song Ning exclaimed, "You said that you came to the capital to find your senior brother, could it be that your senior brother is Wang Liang?" ”

Qian Lixiang is the sword-bearer who was in the Taizu Temple a few days ago.

He said at the time that he had come to pick up his brother and his sister to Tongzhou for medical treatment.

Unexpectedly, his senior brother was Wang Liang.

"yes. My brother and I only came back from Tongzhou yesterday. When Song Ning was deliberating on the case that day, Qian Lixiang witnessed the whole process, so he had a very good impression of her and admired her, and asked enthusiastically, "Lord Xiao Song, what are you doing here?" ”

Song Ning thought about it, could it be that the few dart masters she knew and came into contact with were all here?

"I'm working on the case of Su Yan's murder." Song Ning said to him, "After meeting Wang Liang, I want to meet his wife Su Wang." ”

Qian Lixiang showed such an expression, nodded and said, "Then you wait for me, I'll go and buy the osmanthus cake back, and she will be happier if she eats it." ”

"Okay."

Wang Liang also told him: "Don't buy a lot, she won't eat two pieces." ”

Qian Li Lane should have run out.

"Lord Song, please." Wang Liang invited Song Ning to enter the door, and as soon as he entered, he saw a very beautiful and petite woman sitting on the kang, with a round face, thin eyebrows, big eyes, a small nose, and a small and delicate skin, if he didn't know that she was twenty-six years old and married and had children, Song Ning would have thought that she was only fifteen or sixteen years old.

One is that she is very small, and the other is that her eyes are clear and her expression is childish.

Thinking of Qian Lixiang calling her sister...... She thought there were thirty in Qian Li Lane.

"Spilled tea again?" Wang Liang stepped forward and wiped Wang Mei's clothes with a handkerchief, she was wearing a peach-colored gown, leaving tea stains, Wang Liang sighed and said, "The washed clothes haven't dried yet, the new clothes haven't been delivered yet, you have to wear dirty clothes if you get dirty again." ”

Wang Mei stared at a place, her head tilted to the east and the west for a while.

"I eat cakes." Wang Mei said.

"Cake!"

And don't say anything else.

Wang Liang was helpless, and coaxed softly: "The alley went to buy it for you, there is really no way to take you." ”

As he spoke, he seemed to remember that there were other people in the room, and turned around and asked Song Ning to sit down: "Let the adults laugh." She has been delirious since Su Yan's accident, I have found many famous doctors and taken a lot of medicines, but it is useless. ”

Song Ning was looking at Wang Mei's peachy clothes, raised his eyebrows when he heard the words, and then listened.

"A few days ago, I inquired about a famous doctor in Tongzhou, and I took her there."

Song Ning suddenly asked, "When Qian Lixiang was waiting for you at Taizu Temple, he said that you went to run errands. Who do you leave her to take care of when you run errands? ”

"I put her here when I went back and forth that day, and my brothers helped me take care of it." Wang Liang said, "In the past two months, my brothers and sisters won't let me go on an errand to go out. ”

Song Ning bowed his head, took a few steps forward, and stared at Wang Mei: "Do you remember your child?" ”

"I forgot to ask the name, what's the name?" Song Ning asked Wang Mei.

Wang Mei tilted her head and looked at her, not knowing if she understood, but she didn't answer.

"He misses you so much that he cries." Song Ning said softly, "I also said that I want to grow up quickly and protect you." ”

Wang Mei lowered her head and stared at the tips of her fingers.

"She doesn't understand whatever you say. When she wants to speak, she only says what she wants to say, and she doesn't answer. ”

Song Ning didn't speak, and waved at Wang Mei.

Wang Mei hung her head and didn't look at her.

"Here comes the cake." Qian Li rushed in like a wind, "Sister Mei, the osmanthus cake you like." ”

He opened it and put it in the hands of Sai Wang Mei.

"Cake, cake!" Wang Mei grabbed the osmanthus cake but didn't eat it immediately, but pinched it in the palm of her hand, crumbled it into powder, and then filled it into her mouth and face, and the broken cake powder suddenly stuck all over her face.

"You can't eat like that." Wang Liang grabbed Wang Mei's hand, gently patted the powder in her hand, and said helplessly, "I'll feed you." ”

Wang Mei didn't wait for him to feed, grabbed a piece and stuffed it into her mouth, chewed it with a coo, and grinned at Qian Lixiang.

Qian Lixiang also laughed and said, "Sister Mei, when you laugh, I think of the past, you haven't grown up." ”

Wang Mei tilted her head to look at him.

Qian Lixiang smiled even more happily, and explained to Song Ning: "When I was fourteen, I was sent by my family to learn martial arts, and I met Senior Brother and Sister Mei. At that time, I still thought that Sister Mei could marry me as a daughter-in-law. ”

"Alley, don't talk nonsense!" Wang Liangdao.

"It's okay, when Su Yan was alive, I could also say that I just liked Sister Mei, not only I liked it, but many of our brothers liked it." Qian Lixiang stared at Wang Mei.

Song Ning nodded and said, "She is cute, cute and well-behaved, and she is very likable." ”

"Isn't she well-behaved, Sister Mei has a bad temper and beat me." Qianli laneway.

He said that when Wang Mei beat him, he was happy.

In the time between speaking, Wang Mei had already made a box of pastries into pieces one by one.

Wang Liang and Qian Lixiang went to clean up for her like taking care of a child.

"Su Yansheng is good-looking?" Song Ning asked Qian Lixiang.

She saw that Su Tang's facial features were very upright, and she didn't know what Su Yan looked like when he was alive.

"Hmm...... It's pretty good, better than me anyway. Qian Li said, "He doesn't speak all day long, and he works hard to get his head down, but Sister Mei likes him." ”

"I'm going to take her back to change her clothes." Wang Liang suddenly interrupted Qian Lixiang and Song Ning's words, "Alley, you talk to Lord Song." ”

Without waiting for Song Ning to answer, Wang Liang led Wang Mei out of the door.

Wang Mei walked with her head down, didn't look at people or roads, and followed Wang Liang with her head down.

Wang Liang counted her down softly as he walked.

"My senior brother is good to Sister Mei, and he is both a father and an elder brother." Qian Li said, "Their father and mother seem to have died when Sister Mei was seven years old, and he was nine years old at the time. He knelt outside the dart board and begged the master to take him as an apprentice. ”

"The master saw that he was pitiful, so he accepted it."

Song Ning nodded, and walked out with Qian Lixiang, she looked at the backyard, and suddenly asked, "Does the dart game change weapons once every two years?" ”

"yes. This rule has been established for the past few years, and last month was the second time it was changed. ”

The second time? That's the rule that was established four years ago?

"Speaking of which, aren't you going back to Tongzhou, saying that there is nothing alive here, why don't you stay?"

"I wanted to persuade my senior brother to go with me, but he just wouldn't listen to me, and the master wouldn't stop him." Qian Li said, "Now that Sister Mei has more places to take medicine and spend money on medical treatment, if he stays here, he will really be desperate." ”

"Isn't there any work at all?"

"Very little, anyway. I saw their account books yesterday, and I took two jobs in ten days, still short darts, three taels of silver. ”

"Who can this feed?"

Song Ning looked at the people here and didn't feel that they were anxious about lack of money.

She thought for a while, put things aside again, and said, "I'm going to Su Yan's house in Sanyang Hutong, are you going?" ”

"Go ahead, I went to see his son last month, and I haven't been there this time." Qian Li Lane was very refreshing, and said as he walked, "Just sell some food to bring." ”

The two went to the front yard, everyone dispersed, Lei Song was still waiting in the yard, and when he saw Song Ning coming out, he forked his hand.

"You go back." Song Ning said to Lei Song good-naturedly, "I'll do something." ”

Song Shi'an didn't even dare to hold him accountable, he bullied him to see what he could do. Lei Song said: "The villain went back." ”

He walked away without looking back.

"This head-hunting is very arrogant." Qian Lixiang's face was strange, "Lord Xiao Song, doesn't he respect you?" ”

Song Ning said: "I will serve as a substitute for three months, and he can choose not to respect me." ”

"Be careful, then. This kind of catching fast is the head snake of the ground. You have to go to the county, and some of them will be able to unite with the miscellaneous servants in the yamen and control the county officials. ”

Song Ning was not surprised at all, and said with a smile: "Thank you for reminding me." ”

The two of them chatted nonsense, what Song Ning asked, what Qian Lixiang answered, and those who didn't know could guess.

He bought a lot of things on the road and carried them to Su Yan's house.

Su Tang knew him, and the two chatted for a while.

Song Ning didn't participate, she stood at the door and looked at the long alley in front of the door...... Then he suddenly turned around and asked the child, "What does the lantern that your uncle bought for you look like, is it fun?" ”

"Lanterns?" The child looked at Su Tang's with a confused face.

Su Tang shook his head: "Lantern? His uncle didn't buy him a lantern. If there is an accident in the Mid-Autumn Festival this year, it is impossible for him to buy lanterns. ”

"I asked him just now, and he said he bought a lantern on the 14th." Song Ning said and asked Qian Lixiang, "Did you see the lantern at his house?" ”

Qian Lixiang shook his head: "I didn't go to his house, I don't know." ”

"Let's go, I'll take you to your uncle to ask for a lantern." Song Ning beckoned to the child, "I forgot to ask, what's your name." ”

The child replied, "My name is Su Ziyun, and I was given the name by a gentleman. ”

"Ziyun, let's go to your uncle's house to find a lantern."

Su Ziyun shook his head and said, "I, I don't want to go to my uncle's house, and I don't want lanterns." ”

Song Ning looked at the Su Tang clan in confusion.
