"You mean that Xu Gongzi often goes?"

Mr. taught, uncertain should not be taken lightly, Jing Ming put pen to paper and thought for a while, "I often go, I beg at the city gate, I often see him go in the direction of the east, and every time he will come back the next day or a few days later." ”

It is common for wealthy families to have Zhuangzi in the suburbs, but it is also occasionally to live for a few days, or to escape the summer or something, and they will not live outside permanently, and the Zhuangzi in the suburbs does not have to raise so many people, let alone be lively from time to time.

Inextricably linked, what does it matter?

Jing Ming didn't wait for a response, the girl was pondering, and her eyebrows were full of depression.

"Xiao pick, call the seventeenth prince and Xiao Shizi to come to the study house to get together, and there are important things to discuss."

The two didn't expect to meet again so quickly, standing at the door of the study, Seventeen smiled proudly, when he saw the person, he instantly restrained his smile, squinted at him from his nose and let out a soft "hum", walked in angrily, his ponytail swayed, so lively.

Xiao Yu'an knew that his words were inappropriate before, so he touched his nose uncomfortably and followed helplessly.

Yiren didn't know that they met outside, and when they saw the two of them walking in one after the other, they were relieved when the two had already made peace.

Don't get entangled, ask the two of them to sit down and express their thoughts and suspicions.

Xiao Yu'an pondered for a moment, his face was not very good, "Are you suspected of the Xu family's corruption, and what are some ulterior secrets in the eastern suburbs?" ”

The anger in Seventeen's heart disappeared the moment he saw Yiren, and although he was much more serious when he talked about business, his words were still out of tune, "There are a few officials who are not greedy, but more or less, and there are more people in Kyoto." ”

The little pick brought a plate of lotus seeds, and the three of them knelt there to peel the lotus seeds, and put them all on the plate of the Yiren, and after a while, they were full of a plate, and the Yiren couldn't put it down, so they took two small plates, and one person gave them half of them, and then began to peel them again, the atmosphere was peaceful, and it was hard to imagine that they were discussing such a serious matter.

Seventeen and Xiao Yu'an didn't know what it meant, but when they saw that her plate was empty, they stripped the floor harder and put it all on her plate, and it was full after a while.

When Yiren saw it, he couldn't put it down, so he silently divided it into the two of them, and brought the unpeeled lotus seeds on the table to his back as if nothing had happened, and said innocently: "Let's talk about business." ”

The two of them were about to stretch out their hands to the lotus plate for a moment, but they withdrew them and coughed uncomfortably.

Yiren just didn't hear it, "Xiao Shizi has a way to check the account book of Xufu." ”

Xiao Yu'an shook his head, "There is no reason, the account book is furniture, even if I am the prince, it is impossible to ask him to check it for me for no reason, not to mention that he is still an official of the imperial court." ”

"Is there a way to sneak into the house?"

This kind of thing, Seventeen is the best, his body is crooked, from kneeling to sitting sideways, one leg bent on the wrist on the knee, one hand pillows his head on the table, the ponytail is spread on the collapse, and he said lightly: "It's not easy to enter, it's an official family, someone is guarding, and we don't know the location of the account book, which is equivalent to looking for a needle in a haystack, but 。。。。。。 ”

"Just say whatever you want, be refreshed!" Seventeen took the lotus seed she threw over, threw it upward, and easily fell into his mouth, frowning, "What is this?" How can lotus seeds be so bitter! ”

That's why she didn't eat it.

Seventeen's face was not very good, his face was wrinkled together, he took the tea handed over by Xiao Yu'an, raised his head and grunted twice, and drank it with a slip in his throat, "However, it is not difficult to sneak into the mansion to see if there are any treasures in his house, antique paintings." ”

The implication is that if you can't find the account book, you can go to the vault, no matter how big the house is, you can always turn it over, and no matter how small the vault is, there will always be it.

Rogue!

Makes sense though.

"Then tonight, we will go our separate ways, I will go to the eastern suburbs to check the house, and you will go to the Xu Mansion to rummage through the treasury." The tone is flat and flat, no different from usual.

In fact, he also had a little panic in his heart, and he was afraid that what he said outside the prison would hit their hearts.

If he doesn't want to, he doesn't force it, if he is willing, he doesn't know what to do, the friendship of gentlemen is as light as water, although he has made many friends, but most of them are people in the rivers and lakes who meet in Pingshui or children of friendly families.

Yu Seventeen, although they have not known each other for a long time, he is not willing to only meet him in Pingshui, nor is he very willing to be friendly with him, he feels that they should be honest with each other, free and chic, without scruples, he has many scruples in his heart, and there is a secret that cannot be said, but he does not want to lose this friend.

Seventeen didn't expect him to take the initiative to arrange, a little surprised, and then became angry, "You leave this kind of stealing of chickens and dogs to me, your errand, why do you want me to be tired, I will help you, and I haven't seen you send me a salary." In these years, the children of the family are all so cheap? ”

"What about January 2?"

Two taels were not enough to have a meal in the palm of the clouds, and Seventeen took the case and made a gesture to beat him.

Yiren felt naïve when he looked at these two people, and didn't bother to pay attention to them, so he took out the pot of lotus seeds and peeled them for himself as early as they began to fight.

Seeing that he was about to reach out in front of Xiao Yu'an, his seventeen hands turned and stretched out into the plate, grabbed a large handful and put it in front of him, and began to peel it, like an awkward child, ignoring him.

Xiao Yu'an put his hand to his lips, laughed sullenly, and also reached out and grabbed a handful and began to peel it.

Yiren looked down, and most of the lotus seeds on the plate were instantly missing, she looked left and right at the lotus seeds in front of them, straightened up, first swept the one in front of Seventeen to the plate with a handkerchief, and then turned around to sweep the one in front of Xiao Yu'an in, walked out with the plate, and said expressionlessly: "Xiao pick, let's eat."

The two men looked at each other, and even the little bit of competition in their eyes just now was replaced by confusion.

Xiao Picky giggled and took away the two plates of peeled lotus seeds that had been given to them earlier, "The two sons don't have to care, my girl likes to play with something in her hand when she thinks about things, and you two peel them so quickly, but my girl has no fun, and you wasted the lotus seeds that my mother-in-law went to choose for the girl in the morning." ”

Only then did the two of them understand, and they were a little embarrassed for a while, touching the top of their heads and their noses, and preparing to eat.

It rained lightly at night, hairy, falling on the face, adding a layer of mist, the son was dressed in night clothes, shuttling in the night, and the ponytail that was always flamboyant on weekdays also stood behind him, only the black and red gold hairband was still fluttering.

The guards of Xu's mansion are not strong, the old man Xu lost his beloved son, and his body collapsed, there was no anger up and down the house, and the subordinates were a little more cautious than usual, and they also rested early at this moment.

Seventeen hid in the tree, holding a small root in his mouth, looking at the promised Xu Mansion, and fell into deep thought.

He thought that no matter how big the house was, there would always be a time when it was finished, but now that he saw it, he remembered that he was too naïve.

There were a few smacks in his mouth, his ponytail raised, he jumped off the tree and left, not even entering the door of the Xu Mansion.
