Chapter 27: Folk Nursery Rhymes
As soon as Yiren saw Jingming, he beckoned people over, and Seventeen made a gesture to hold him on his lap, but Jingming avoided him and sat next to Yiren, although he couldn't keep up with his nutrition a few years ago, and his body was thin, but in the end he was a twelve-year-old boy, and he refused to be hugged by anyone.
Seventeen pursed his lips, took a new spoon and handed him the wontons in his bowl, Jing Ming didn't dislike it, took it with both hands, was not in a hurry to eat, and sat quietly with his hands on his lap.
Yiren hugged the person closer to him, and said softly: "How do you know that it is a girl from the Hu family?"
Jing Ming first glanced at her, and then said: "On the eve of the Hu family's wedding, the bride was abducted, and the family also reported to the official, and later, for some reason, the family said that the bride died of illness, not abducted, and everyone said that the Hu family was crazy."
"But I don't see it, after the death of the daughter of the Hu family, his family made a fortune, and opened a noodle restaurant, and the groom official also returned to his hometown, and it is said that when he left, he also threatened not to return to Kyoto in this life.
"How did you press it down?" Xiao Yu'an has just returned to Beijing, and he doesn't know much about the water in Kyoto, and since this matter is full of turmoil in the city, it is naturally impossible to suppress it casually.
Jing Ming said respectfully: "This is Kyoto, new things are happening every day, the Hu family is just an ordinary family, no matter how rare things are, they can't match a little lace anecdote of Xungui's children, within a few days, Xu Gongzi was in the drunken rain building for a while, and the news of spending thousands of dollars spread in the alleys of Kyoto, everyone was discussing Xu Gongzi's flowers, and gradually, the matter of the Hu family's daughter was forgotten."
What an irony! The children of the official family can suppress the rare things that are full of wind and rain in the city.
"Jingming, it is rumored that there is a prince in this folk, do you know who it is?" Yiren thought of the folk prince that Qin Sheng said, and he was a little resistant in his heart, and he also wanted to confirm it.
As soon as these words came out, several people were stunned, and Xiao Pick and Jing Ming even kowtowed and knelt down directly.
Yiren helped the man up, gently stroked the top of his hair, and said softly: "Don't be afraid, no one will blame you, even the prince brother in the palace knows about it, and he will be grateful to you for helping him catch the bad guy."
Xu was that her voice was too gentle, or maybe her touch was too warm, but he was not so scared, and sat back upright, his hands on his knees and clutching his robe tightly, his voice was quieter than just now, but he could hear it clearly.
"I don't dare to have such rumors in the market, even if there is, I don't dare to say it, but there is a nursery rhyme among the people, saying that Xu Guangyao is the prince of Kyoto, and the child is unscrupulous, and no one will blame him."
"Can you sing that nursery rhyme?"
Jing Ming shook his head, he couldn't sing, but he had a good memory and could remember all the words, just listening to his slightly crisp voice and remembering, "Sit in the heavenly womb, the prince guards Kyoto, the bird in the golden wire cage, the tiger basks in the sun, the buttocks are slippery, no one can do anything, the overlord of the land in Beijing, Lao Tzu closes the kitchen." ”
"Presumptuous!"
Everyone was suddenly frightened by this exclamation, and even Jing Ming was stunned for a moment before she regained her soul, her aura was too cold, and she was not gentle and calm at all.
The Son of Heaven and the Prince are in the palace, where did the Prince Kyoto Shou, it is clear that this prince has another person, the Son of Heaven and the Prince are the golden birds in the cage, the Xu family is old and has a three-day feast, who doesn't know that Xu Guangyao was born in the Year of the Tiger, isn't Lao Tzu the emperor!
Yiren knew that she was too excited, but she was dominated by emotions for a while, and she didn't care about thinking, so naturally she didn't notice that Xiao Yu'an's eyes were getting deeper and deeper when she looked at her.
Seventeen didn't react, but since Jing Ming said this nursery rhyme, he has been laughing, and the smile does not reach the bottom of his eyes, a little angry and a little dark, so that people can't see clearly.
A few people had their own thoughts, but they also quieted down for a while, and finished breakfast quietly, and Seventeen played with the headband, a few rays of light flashed in his eyes, and he didn't know what he was thinking.
Seeing that they had finished eating, they said: "I went to Xufu last night, and most of the famous and ancient paintings in the warehouse have a large amount of silver, and there are more shop title deeds in the box, which are available from all over the world."
Jing Ming consciously put away the bowls and did not disturb their conversation.
With such a transparent mind at a young age, the Yiren can't tell what emotions they have, but they feel a little sorry.
Xiao Yu'an also noticed Jing Ming, and didn't say anything, probably because he didn't think it was appropriate to say anything, so he turned his attention to the matter of Xu Fu, "What do you want so many shop title deeds for?" ”
"Naturally, it wasn't his, it was stuffed to him by someone else." Yiren had already recovered from the mood just now, lowered his head and began to make tea slowly, and returned to his usual gentle and cold appearance, but his tone was colder.
This is not clear, understand that people do understand, he Xu Fu District Officials Shangshu, no matter how rich he is in business, it is impossible to have so many land deeds, it can only be someone else who asks him to stuff it, in other words, the official is a corrupt official, and he has a lot of appetite, after all, he raised a folk prince.
"This matter has to be discussed in the long run, Xu Guangyao was killed by the Nine Killings Hall, the killing of the Nine Killings Hall has always been justified, and the dragon sees the beginning but not the end, it is naturally impossible for us to catch the murderer, but we must find out the reason why Xu Guangyao was killed in order to explain." Seventeen pondered it roughly, and found that all the clues of the matter were pulled together by an invisible thread, and what they had to do now was to pull this thread out.
"Qi Luo, check the house in the suburbs of Xufu up and down for me, Xiao Xuan, can you please go to Jingzhao Yin to pass a message, and ask Lord Chen to make a secret appointment with the household servant." Xiao Yu'an commanded sharply.
Qi Luo saw his son-in-law looking so serious, and hugged his fists and answered "yes".
Xiao Piao was about to reply, but was interrupted by her girl, "You want to check Shan Ce?" ”
Xiao Yu'an shook his head and said: "I'm not checking Shan Ce, I'm checking the story behind the account book, Shan Ce has the courage to burn the account book, he must know something, the household officials are close to the family, and they must find the reason to find the Xu family to investigate thoroughly."
The matter is so settled, the only thing they can do now is not to let go of any clues, Xiao Pick and Qi Luo got the order and hurriedly went to do it, Xiao Yu'an is going back to the house, he has not returned home for a few days and nights, he should also go back to ask for peace, seventeen is alone, and he can only go back to his palm to sleep.
"Come back to the little lady later, I have something for you." Seventeen whispered in her ear after falling behind, and the warm exhalation sprayed in her ears, tickling and stirring up a little ripple.
Iren glanced at him, turned and went into the study, and Seventeen stood at the door, smiled silently, raised his ponytail again, and walked away in high spirits.
