What happened inside the house, outside the house was unaware.

Jun Shan and Frost Branch waited quietly outside, waiting for an hour before the door of the study was opened.

The first to come out was Jin Yue, looking at the red corners of her eyes, as if she had cried, but it didn't look like she had cried, although her clothes had been tidied up, she still had wrinkles in her clothes, and it was not at all what she looked like when she went in, especially the bun...... It's obviously been re-cared for, but the left is a little rough and still loose.

"Young lady?" Frost Branch hurriedly stepped forward.

Jin Yue didn't speak, holding the jasper hibiscus hairpin in her palm, and left in a hurry, as if she was a little angry, and her ears were red.

Shuangzhi didn't dare to delay, saluted Fu Jiuqing, and chased after Jin Yue.

"Childe." Junshan saluted.

Fu Jiuqing looked at the direction of Jin Yue's departure, the wind blew the lantern and shook it wantonly, shaking the pale blue figure more and more blurred, and finally he couldn't see it anymore. In the empty corridor, there is nothing left!

Gone...... My heart was suddenly stunned, as if she was really gone, Fu Jiuqing's face immediately turned cold, and even her voice became extremely cold, mixed with the cold night breeze, "No news yet?" ”

Jun Shan bowed, "The son forgives the sin, it is the slave who is not good at doing things." ”

"That's it!" In fact, Fu Jiuqing brushed his sleeves away.

In fact, he also knew that this matter was in a hurry, back then, Song Yan used the power of the entire Yan Wangfu, and there was no trace of it in the Zhou Dynasty, and now after many years, there are naturally fewer traces to be found.

Back in her courtyard, Fu Jiuqing stood under the eaves and watched the lanterns in the courtyard light up, and the colorful light sprinkled all over the courtyard was dazzling.

After a long time, Shuangzhi crept out of the house, and when he saw Fu Jiuqing standing outside the door, he was really startled, and immediately bowed and saluted.

"What about her?" Fu Jiuqing opened his mouth expressionlessly.

"The young lady is a little tired today, and she went to sleep after taking a bath, and the son is going in now, and the young lady is probably not asleep yet." Frostbranch replied in a low voice.

Fu Jiuqing nodded, and the frost branch quickly retreated.

He stood in the doorway for a while, guessing that she was probably asleep, before he pushed the door in.

The room is slightly warm, and the candles are shining.

When he came in, he brought a gust of wind, which blew the candles flickering and dimming, and the room was dappled with light and shadow. Closing the door, he walked to the bed with light steps, looking at the person who was already asleep, Fu Jiuqing sighed faintly, and sat on the edge of the bed with his sleeves brushed.

The long eyelashes hung down against her lower eyelids, curling slightly, and as he approached her, the warm breath just brushed her cheeks, causing her long eyelashes to tremble slightly.

He bent down, put his hands on the sides of her cheeks, and dropped a kiss on her brow, so light, so soft. Turning his face sideways, he looked at the brocade box she placed next to the pillow, and the sharp corners of his lips suddenly curved into a light smile.

Eventually, she began to care about him.

The night is long, and he doesn't want any long days, but he wants to be less unpredictable.

Early the next morning, Jin Yue took his hands and feet away from him in the most helpless posture.

When sober, he bullied her; When he fell asleep, it was her turn to bully him.

kicked him under the quilt, grabbed his bed, and finally hung himself on him. She thought that if she fell asleep and someone pulled her like this, when she woke up, she would be half tired and half dead, absolutely uncomfortable.

However, Fu Jiuqing did this very well, no matter what her sleeping position was or what she did at night, when she got up in the morning, he would definitely not say more than half a word, so that Jin Yue dispelled the qi she had saved before.

After breakfast, the housekeeper sent some fabrics, saying that the weather was cold, and the lord ordered him to come down and start making the first batch of winter clothes.

Jin Yue picked two light blue and azure materials, and looked at the light yellow materials in a daze, "This color is very suitable for the third sister-in-law, the third sister-in-law is white-skinned, and it is very flattering to her." ”

The butler didn't say anything, just bowed down and smiled.

Fu Jiuqing held the white porcelain spoon and gently stirred the porridge in the bowl without saying a word.

When the butler left, Frost Branch walked out with the cloth in his arms.

"After eating, follow me to the mansion." He spoke.

Jin Yue stuffed a mouthful of buns, answered in a low voice, and then stopped talking.

Until they entered the gate of the mansion, neither of them spoke, Junshan and Shuangzhi looked at each other, I don't know what happened to the two?

"Master Fu, young lady!" The prefect Su Lizhou walked out slowly.

"Lord Prefect!" Fu Jiuqing saluted with Jin Yue.

Su Lizhou waved his hand, "Speak in the hall." ”

After entering the side hall, the people below served tea, and An Kangsheng stood silently beside Su Lizhou, looking a little dignified.

Jin Yue glanced around and didn't see Luo Zhutou.

After taking a sip of tea, Su Lizhou opened his mouth with a pale face, "The one from the Bai family, run away!" ”

The Bai family?

"Bai Gongzi?" Jin Yuezhong was stunned, and immediately went to see Fu Jiuqing beside him.

In this regard, Fu Jiuqing didn't seem surprised, Gu Zi held a cup of tea, and his expression was still indifferent and calm.

Su Lizhou continued, "Here's the thing, that day, Luo Zhutou and Master An brought the maidservants and Bai Xiong of the Bai Mansion back to the mansion, and the case was inquired about, during which the two of them insisted on it, it was just a momentary joy, and they didn't know anything about Master Bai, so in desperation, we could only put the two of them back and send someone to keep an eye on them outside the White Mansion." ”

Fu Jiuqing was holding the cup in his hand at the moment, "It's a convention, and it's all inappropriate." ”

"But in the second half of the night, Bai Xiong disappeared." Master An sighed lightly, "The maid died in the room, and the death was the same as that of the master of the Bai family, she committed suicide by hanging a beam, but the stool was ......."

Jin Yue frowned, "That is to say, the person who killed Master Bai may be the same person who killed the maidservant now." ”

Master An nodded, "That's what we speculated. ”

"Now Luo Zhutou has sent someone to find Bai Xiong's whereabouts, but Kyoto City is so big, it's not easy to find someone." When he said this, Su Lizhou stared at Fu Jiuqing, and his eyes kept wandering over Fu Jiuqing's face.

Jin Yueyuan didn't understand, the son of the Bai family was gone, why did he come to Fu Jiuqing to discuss? Now looking at the eyes of the prefect, she immediately understood a little, King Yan returned to the dynasty, Princess Yan was preparing for the birthday banquet in the past two days, and the entire Kyoto City had begun to be lively.

If it comes out now, the suspected murderer is nowhere to be found, it will definitely cause panic among the people, and even worse, it will anger the prince of Yan, and the entire prefect's yamen will not be able to eat and walk around.

No wonder Fu Jiuqing has not spoken, I am afraid that he has already seen through Su Lizhou's thoughts!

"Luo Zhutou is so familiar with Kyoto City, he must be able to find it." Fu Jiuqing responded indifferently.

Su Lizhou was stunned for a moment, saw that Fu Jiuqing did not let go, and immediately looked at Jin Yue, "Young lady, the abnormality of this maid and Bai Gongzi was found out by your hands, can you do a favor now......

"Can't!" Before Su Lizhou finished speaking, Fu Jiuqing had already stood up and arched his hand at Su Lizhou, "We grass people, how dare we interfere in the affairs of the government, if it is known, the Fu family can't afford to be guilty!" ”

This is an outright refusal.

Although Jin Yue didn't know what Fu Jiuqing meant, he never did something that he was not sure of, presumably this matter was extraordinary, so he would treat it very well. Her father-in-law said so, and as a lady, she naturally wanted to echo it, "Lord Prefect, I don't know anything, don't you want to lift me up!" ”

Su Lizhou's brows furrowed, and he watched Fu Jiuqing take Jin Yue's hand and walk out, he really didn't leave any affection.

"Wait!" Su Lizhou hurriedly said, "Why don't you do this?" Don't you just think that you can't participate in the affairs of the government as civilians? Then I'll give you an identity, won't I? ”

Jin Yue was surprised, give an identity? Can public status be given casually?

"Your Excellency, the Fu family doesn't need this, we are just businessmen, and we are in the business of money and goods, and we are not interested in the affairs of the government." Fu Jiuqing continued to walk out.

Su Lizhou originally thought that Fu Jiuqing was just putting on a show, until he saw that he was about to step out of the gate of the mansion, and his steps were steady and fast, and he had no intention of lingering. Stunned, Su Lizhou hurriedly said, "How about being a public catcher?" ”

Fu Jiuqing looked back, his gaze was cold and warm, "The Fu family doesn't need to catch fast." ”

"Then this mansion can't let you be the head catcher, right?" Su Lizhou crossed his hands on his hips, "Luo Zhutou is enough to be competent, we really don't need more headhunters here, not to mention that in terms of qualifications, Fu Gongzi, you are a businessman, polite and polite, and ...... honestly."

Not to mention catching heads, being a quick catcher is all reluctant. But when these words came to his lips, Su Lizhou swallowed them back, Fu Jiuqing's eyes were too cold, as if they were frozen in the winter frost, and they were so cold that people were frightened.

Jin Yue didn't know what to do for a while, and stood there looking at Fu Jiuqing in a daze.

He took her hand, his face solemn, "That being the case, why should the prefect do anything else?" ”

"Oops, hey, come back! Come back! Su Lizhou frowned, and dispatched a large number of officials to find Bai Xiong, which would inevitably alarm the people, in case the happy event of Yanwang's Mansion was ruined, this disaster could not be settled with a sentence of "competent" or "competent".

Fu Jiuqing had already led Jin Yue out of the gate of the yamen, and Su Lizhou could only rush to the door by himself to stop, "Okay, just catch your head!" Left, Fu Gongzi, you are so busy on weekdays, I'm afraid it's ......"

"Who said I was going to be a headcatcher?" Fu Jiuqing raised his eyebrows slightly.

Su Lizhou's face darkened, if he didn't want to take advantage of the Fu family's presence in Kyoto City, which has all kinds of shops in Kyoto City, it would not alarm the people and the Yan Wang's Mansion when he inspected it, how could his dignified prefect of Kyoto Mansion be so low-voiced.

Listening to Fu Jiuqing's meaning now, it seems that he is playing tricks on him.

"Then you ......" Su Lizhou gritted his back molars, "What do you mean?" ”

Fu Jiuqing glanced at Jin Yue, and was so shocked that Jin Yue instantly broke away from his hand, and retreated three times in a row, "What do you think I do?" I'm a woman, how do I do headcatching? ”

Su Lizhou was stunned for a moment, "I can't help it, how can I ...... young lady and a woman?"

Fu Jiuqing brushed his sleeves and went down the steps.

"Oops!" Su Lizhou almost called him "ancestor", this temper is simply ...... It's even more powerful than his prefect. However, there was a Yanwang Mansion pressed above, and Su Lizhou had to compromise, just ask who in Kyoto City wants to mess with this kind of filth? Even if he wanted to find someone else, no one would agree.

"Your Excellency." Master An opened his mouth, "I think the young lady is feasible!" ”

Su Lizhou was stunned, "Just because she found Bai Xiong's suspicion?" ”

Master An nodded, "As a woman, it is not easy to have such a mind, but you have to have this courage." I saw that the young lady was brave and resourceful, and seemed to have quite an opinion on these things. Fu Gongzi Xu has a deep meaning, let me ask whose husband is willing to let his wife enter the government to do such things? ”

"Cheng, listen to you!" Su Lizhou looked at Fu Jiuqing, who was already stepping on the pestle and was about to enter the carriage, and said, "Young lady, are you willing?" ”

Fu Jiuqing had already entered the carriage, Jin Yue stepped on the pestle with her front foot, and her back foot still fell on the ground, and when she heard this, she immediately looked back at the prefect, and her heart was a little thumping, as if, as if there was some strange feeling, spreading in her heart, but she couldn't grasp the source of this feeling for a while.

This will, Jin Yue is a little difficult to ride a tiger.

Everyone's eyes fell on the carriage in unison.

The doors are closed and the windows are hidden.

The wind blew the curtains of the car and fluttered gently, but the people in the car did not react.

Su Lizhou was extremely displeased, "Fu Jiuqing, you say something, if you succeed, if you don't succeed, you can't succeed, this mansion is a person who will practice his words, since he says it, he will definitely not regret it." ”

"When will I report on my job?" Inside the car, his cold voice was heard.

Su Lizhou was relieved, "Tomorrow!" ”

"That's ...... Tomorrow! ”

Across the carriage, Jin Yue couldn't guess what Fu Jiuqing was thinking, and only felt that his last tail note seemed to be a little trembling, shallow, faint.

Jin Yue was still hesitating, and there was another noise in the car, "Don't come up yet?" ”

"Oooh!" Jin Yue quickly entered the carriage.

When he entered, Fu Jiuqing was leaning on the soft couch, his pale face was slightly transparent, his slender fingertips were holding his forehead, curled slightly, and the roots were like jade in the faint light.

"Are you feeling unwell?" Jin Yue originally wanted to ask the reason, but seeing his expression, she immediately dispelled her thoughts, "Can you take the medicine my father gave you?" ”

"Eat!" He replied softly.

Jin Yue said "oh", and then there were no words. Dad said that his disease was brought out of his mother's womb, and it must have been like this for a long time, if he was really uncomfortable, he should know it in his heart. Fu Jiuqing pinched his eyebrows, oh, it's gone?

Indeed...... Gone!

Someone has no heart or lungs, as if he is uncomfortable or not, and has nothing to do with her, she leans down at the window, looking at the scenery outside the window, so comfortable.

It was very cold behind him, and the terrifying chill rushed away from his back, quickly spreading to his limbs, Jin Yue subconsciously turned around, just in time to meet the pair of deep pupils with a bit of resentment.

Quickly closing the window, Jin Yue sat back beside him solemnly, and asked with a trembling voice, "Is it uncomfortable?" Do you want me to find you a doctor? ”

Fu Jiuqing didn't move, and a pair of eyes roamed her coldly.

Jin Yue's breathing was slightly suffocated, "Is it a headache?" ”

He still didn't answer.

"Why don't I rub it for you?" She really didn't know what was wrong with him.

If you don't say anything, it's difficult for the gods to do it!

However, as soon as she finished saying this, he leaned on the soft couch very elegantly, his long eyelashes covered the darkness under his eyes, and the whole person looked extraordinarily calm.

Jin Yue was stunned at first, but immediately understood what he meant, and quickly rolled up his sleeves and leaned up, his warm middle finger gently pressed against his temple, and his demeanor was extremely gentle.

The fingertips were warm, and little by little they seeped through the thin skin at the temples, like sparks of stars, slowly gathering together, and finally burning the field in his heart, and even his throat became difficult.

Especially the faint fragrance, pouring into the tip of his nose at close range, as if it also carried the warmth of her body, warm, like the sun in early spring, falling on his gloomy world, making him no longer alone, trapped in darkness and unable to extricate himself.

"Are you comfortable?" Jin Yue asked.

His arms were sore, and his fingertips ached.

He let out an "um", and she immediately withdrew.

The moment the warmth dissipated, Fu Jiuqing took advantage of the situation, and looked at what seemed to be a subconscious action, but it was extremely precise and fast, just encircled her shoulders and pressed her directly into his arms, "Don't move, I'll squint for a while!" ”

Jin Yue's face instantly turned red to the root of his ears.

Squint for a while?

Was it because she slept too horizontally last night, so he didn't sleep well?

He asked her not to move, but she really didn't move, just lying quietly in his arms, listening to his chest, and then again, the clear heartbeat. Gradually, she felt that her heartbeat seemed to follow his heartbeat.

It feels amazing, I can't say why, but it seems to be ...... She kind of liked the feeling.

When Jin Yue woke up, the carriage had already stopped, and she was still lying in Fu Jiuqing's arms, maintaining her initial movements. The car was parked in the open space next to the mansion gate, and Junshan knew the master's temperament, so he didn't bother.

Open your eyes and look at each other.

She didn't know when he woke up, but she knew that he would definitely get tired if she pressed him like this, so she quickly got up and picked him up by the way, "I'm pressing you again, are you okay?" ”

"What do you say?" His tail note was raised, as if with a bit of ridicule, but the bottom of his eyes and the corners of his lips did not change at all.

No matter who presses whom when you sleep, it's all excellent, so how can it be okay?

"Huh?" Jin Yue followed behind him, "Why do you want me to enter the government to be a catcher of Lao Shizi, you know, I'm not really interested in these, if you really want to do it, why don't you let me take over my father's mantle?" ”

Fu Jiuqing looked at her with deep eyes, and her voice was cold, "You'll like it." ”

Will it?

"I ......" Before Jin Yue could ask, Fu Jiuqing had already stepped out of the carriage.

Jin Yue stood on the side of the wheel, looking at Fu Jiuqing's back thoughtfully, how did he know what she would like to be a catcher and a headcatcher? Did she say something when she was dreaming?

"Young lady, what's wrong with you?" Frost Branch hurriedly asked, "Are you alright?" ”

"You say, I'm a woman, what kind of head catcher, will anyone laugh at the Fu family?" Jin Yue hesitated.

Frost Branch sneered, "Young lady, you are not such a hesitant person. Since Childe is not afraid, what are you afraid of? The sky is falling, isn't there still a tall man on top? ”

"That's right!" Jin Yue walked towards the door of the mansion with a smile, "I'll tell you, I'm ......"

"Young lady!" The butler let out a respectful shout and interrupted Jin Yue's words.

Jin Yue bowed her head, "Old housekeeper, is there something wrong?" ”

"Concubine Gu is here, she will be waiting in the flower hall." The housekeeper spoke very respectfully, probably worried about Jin Yue, and added, "If the young lady is unwell, the old slave will go back to her." ”

"When did she come?" Jin Yue asked, walking forward slowly.

The butler smiled, "Half an hour." ”

Jin Yue sighed lightly, she didn't leave for half an hour, if she said that she was uncomfortable, she estimated that Gu Ruoli would rush into Shangyi Courtyard to verify the authenticity. Thinking of this, Jin Yue walked towards the flower hall.

"Young lady, that Gu side concubine...... I'm afraid that those who come are not good, and those who are good will not come! "Frost Branch is very worried.

Jin Yue walked with her hands in her hands, "It's not weak, guess, what did she do?" ”

Frostbranch shook her head, "The slave can't guess. ”

"What did Childe say?" Jin Yue looked at the old housekeeper.

The housekeeper replied in a low voice, "Childe said, the young lady will deal with it herself." ”

"I see!" Jin Yue bowed, "You go back first, at the other end of the flower hall, I'll come by myself." ”

"Good!" The housekeeper nodded, "If the young lady has something to do, just make some movement and come out, and the servants outside the flower hall will listen to the movement and will go to Shangyi Yuan to report the news." ”

Jin Yue smiled, "I'm not going to fight, what can I do?" Rest assured. ”

The butler saluted and turned away.

Inside the Flower Hall.

Gu Ruoli sat for half an hour, drank three cups of tea, his face was blue and white, and his expression was slightly gloomy.

"It's just a businessman's house, but it's so ignorant of etiquette, dare to snub the master, it's damned!" Amber gritted her back molars, "It's a shame that the master picked such good material and sent it here, it's really Baba's heart, and I fed the white-eyed wolf!" ”

"Don't talk about it." Gu Ruoli lowered his eyes, pinched the fingertips of the handkerchief, and was slightly white.

Jin Yue happened to walk to the door of the flower hall, and when she heard this, she raised her eyebrows and glanced at the frost branch.

Frost Branch rolled his eyes boringly, what about Rao is Tianyi? The clothes were originally used to cover the body, and the young lady of her family didn't like to be public, and they didn't need their so-called good materials at all, the Fu family was useless, and the son didn't know how precious the young lady was!

After entering the door, Jin Yue bowed and saluted, "Concubine Fang is fine!" ”

"Sister!" Gu Ruoli got up immediately, rushed over with joy on his face, and quickly shook Jin Yue's hand, "Sister, how are you doing lately?" I've been in Kyoto for so long, and I haven't been to the Fu Mansion once. ”

Jin Yue retracted her hand, her eyebrows jumping suddenly.

What does this mean?

Let her take Gu Ruoli for two laps?

"Sister...... Are you not welcome me? Gu Ruoli's eyes were slightly misty, "Are you still angry with me because of what happened last time?" Angry with the little prince? ”

"What happened last time?" Jin Yuepi didn't smile, "Why don't I remember at all?" Concubine Niangniang, why don't you talk to me? ”

Gu Ruoli was stunned, how embarrassed to turn over old accounts.

"By the way, sister, Princess Yan's banquet is about to start, you and the fifth prince are invited, I got a few batches of good materials here, and I specially sent them over for you to pick, do you like it?" Gu Ruoli took Jin Yue's hand and quickly walked to the front of the case.

On the table, there is a stack of fabrics and jewelry.

The crow-blue material, embroidered with dark cloud patterns and dark red lines, is like a flame burning in the silent night. In the jewelry box on the side, there were a lot of gold and silver jewelry, pearls and jade, but her eyes fell on the black ink crow hairpin.

The hairpin is neither gold nor silver, but seems to be made of dark iron.

Ink Raven ......

Something seemed to be beating suddenly in my head, and my scalp was a little numb from the pain.
