"You said that Jin Se is looking for Zhou Zimu?" The mysterious man turned his back to Zhong Yi, the wax lamp pulling his shadow to the elder.

"Yes, Miss and Zhou Zhukuai know each other very well." Zhong Yi nodded yes.

The mysterious man closed the paper fan in his hand: "I only know one person in this world named Zhou Zimu." It's the current regent. ”

"The personalities of these two people are very different, and when the regent was assassinated in the imperial capital, he was still on an errand in Yangcheng. But now that Zhou Zhu is about to disappear, things are very strange. Zhong Yi said.

Now that Zhou Zimu has not heard from him, Zhong Yi began to doubt Zhou Zimu's identity again.

The mysterious man didn't know what to think of, and sneered: "Since the two of us are so familiar, we always have to help." I'll let the people below find out where they are, and a big living person will never disappear under our noses. ”

"I bought a house for Miss in Shangyi District, is the young master going to see her?" Zhong Yi was cautious and tentative.

The mystery man just chuckled: "I haven't seen her for years, and I don't want to disturb her life." You continue to be by her side and take care of her. ”

"Yes."

The second day in the blink of an eye

Jin Se moves into her new home in Imperial City. The house is located in the Shangyi District of the Imperial Capital City, and most of the people who live here are ordinary people with ordinary status.

Jin Se is not worried about going out to provoke nobles.

The house that Uncle Zhong found for Jin Se, she liked it very much. It's not big, but she has everything she wants. What pleased her the most was that the house had a cellar.

The temperature in the cellar is very low, and it can be used as a refrigerator to chill a watermelon or something.

After a brief cleaning, she had the boxes moved into her main room. Start organizing your belongings.

A few months ago, she was the proprietress of a broken tavern and was forced to pay a debt of 500 taels of silver. Now she has bought her own house in Dijing City.

Jin Se was lying on the comfortable carved bed, but he kept thinking about Zhou Zimu in his heart.

Where is Zimu now? Is he doing well? Can't get enough to eat?

Although Uncle Zhong persuaded her to wait a few more days, Jin Se did not want to sit still.

She decided to go to the post station to inquire if anyone had seen Zhou Zimu. It was too difficult to draw with a brush, so she went to the kitchen to find a burnt stick.

The stick was too thick, so she chopped a section with an axe, and after a simple sharpening, a practical simple charcoal pen was ready.

I tried hard to think about Zhou Zimu's appearance. Jin Se began to paint a portrait of Zhou Zimu. Her abilities are limited, and although she paints ugly, she feels good about herself.

"Well, Zimu's charm was drawn by me. As long as anyone has seen him, they will definitely recognize him. ”

She writes very ugly calligraphy, and she can barely see someone until now. She is still very confident in drawing, after all, she was in the animation club.

Sketching or something, she doesn't know. But she still knows how to make anime-style stick figures.

Sword eyebrows, big eyes, high nose, thin lips. He wore a cyan hairband on his head and a cloud brocade shirt with auspicious clouds.

Jinse also marked the characteristics of each place with arrows. After checking that there were no problems, she carefully rolled up the picture.

"I'll go out for a while." She greeted Qian Bao and ran out again.

"The shopkeeper has been running out every day for the past two days, and Brother Zhou doesn't know where he went, and there has been no news." Qian Bao turned a page of "The Mean" in his hand and said distressedly, "I also want her to take me to the White Crane Academy to find my brother." ”

Zhong Yi looked at Jin Se's distant back: "Let her go with you tomorrow." She's busy right now. ”

Full of hope, Jin Se took the portrait of Zhou Zimu to the post station in the imperial capital.

There are always four post stations in the imperial capital city, each of which is close to a city gate. This post station next to Yongding Gate is called Gaoyou Station.

Entering the post station, seeing that everyone was busy, Jin Se stepped forward to find a young man in the corner.

"Big brother, excuse me. I have something I want to inquire about. ”

The young man didn't even raise his head: "Send letters to counter No. 1, go to counter No. 2 for officials' accommodation, and go to counter No. 3 for small goods that need to be transported. ”

"I'd like to ask you about someone. Have you ever met this person? Jin Se took out Zhou Zimu's portrait.

The young man raised his head at this time, and when he saw the painting in Jinse's hand, he sneered, "What are you painting?" What do I recognize in such a portrait? ”

"Take a closer look. Sword eyebrows, big eyes, high nose, and mouth that is neither thick nor thin. His name is Zhou Zimu, and he is the catcher of Yangcheng who was transferred to Jingzhao Yamen. Has he been here? ”

Jinse didn't want to give up easily, and despite the ridicule in the other party's eyes, she still held out hope.

"Zhou Zimu is still called by this name? I haven't received any officials from Yangcheng. You get out of the way if you're okay, and the people behind you are still waiting. "The young man no longer wants to waste time with Jinse.

The unwilling Jin Se asked a few more people at the post station, and everyone was a little surprised when they heard the name Zhou Zimu. But no one has ever seen a fast catcher named Zhou Zimu.

Could it be that Zimu really hasn't come to the imperial capital yet?

"Little girl, if you inquire about someone at the post station, you might as well go to Qinglian Zhai. There is a cargo business, and goods come in and out of the imperial capital every day. Maybe they've seen it. ”

Seeing Jinse standing there pitifully, an old man at the post station pointed her the way.

"Thank you, thank you, uncle." Jin Se thanked him gratefully.

Qinglian Zhai is very familiar to her, when she was in Yangcheng, she bought a batch of glass cups in Qinglian Zhai. Qinglian Zhai is plain on the outside, but luxurious on the inside. She was very impressed.

Finding out where Qinglian Zhai was in the imperial capital, Jin Se hurriedly set off. Either way, it makes more sense to ask somewhere than to be stupid at home.

Compared with the desertion of Qinglian Zhai in Yangcheng, outside the headquarters of Qinglian Zhai in Dijing City, it is quite lively.

Carriages of all kinds are lining up. Although the line was long, not a single person complained.

The headquarters of Qinglianzhai is more than twice the size of the Yangcheng store. But the style is still the front counter is mundane. If it weren't for Jin Se having entered Qinglian Zhai, who would have thought that there would be a hole in such an ordinary store.

Unlike the inside of Yangcheng, there are guys standing outside the door of Qinglianzhai's headquarters who specialize in maintaining order.

Anyone who wants to cut the queue is not allowed to enter.

Jin Se saw an arrogant son being dragged away, and he shouted loudly: "My father is the governor of Qianhu, you subordinates. Wait until I go back to my father. I want you to look good. ”

In his cognition, his father is the most powerful person in the world. But in the Imperial Capital City, a place where the Tianyao royal family walks everywhere, it is really not enough to see.

"We don't welcome guests like you. Please prepare your business post and come back. The young man ignored the man.

Until the arrogant boy was dragged away, no one in the crowd stood up to speak for him.

It seems that I have to line up honestly.

In a group of carriages, she stood alone and looked particularly abrupt.

It doesn't seem to be a maid from any family, it's not the master who came to send a little girl. Everyone looked at Jin Se curiously.

Feeling the scrutiny of everyone, Jin Se was a little uncomfortable. She didn't have the habit of wearing a hood, and she didn't think about it before.

It's so strange to be stared at by a bunch of people right now.

But she couldn't leave, and finally got to the middle of the line, and now it's not a loss to go.

The guys who maintain the continuity have also discovered the unique existence of Jinse. He stepped forward and asked Jinse: "This young lady, do you have a business post?" ”

"Yes, my business post is here." Jin Se used his money bag to take out the business post with the blue lotus pattern.

The guy carefully checked the post and confirmed that it was genuine. Not only is the name of the holder printed on the post, but the lotus flower is also painted with special ink, and the pattern changes in the sun.

Zhuang Jinse!

Seeing this name, the man's face changed. He immediately cheered up Twelve's spirit and showed his most perfect smile: "This young lady waits. ”

Returning the business post with both hands, the man explained a few words to his companion, and turned around and entered the interior of Qinglian Zhai.

Leave a dazed Jinse, wait? What are you waiting for, I've been waiting for a long time.

The people who were watching the excitement in the carriage next to them didn't expect that Jin Se really had a business post in his hand. Maybe some people like to walk and don't like to make carriages.

The guy rushed all the way to the second floor of Qinglian Zhai, and after the report, he met Li Haoyue, the owner of Qinglian Zhai.

"Master, Miss is here alone. Queue is outside. ”

"Oh? Is it? Li Haoyue smiled playfully, "I didn't look for her, the little guy came over by himself." ”

He lifted the beaded curtain by the window with a fan, and at a glance he saw a girl squatting in a group of carriages.

Without a hat, a little powder, one more point, no more, no less. At this time, the girl had a sad face and was bored and drew circles on the ground.

The good-looking willow eyebrows, the big eyes are full of helplessness, the nose is on stilts, and the small cherry mouth is still sighing.

"Go and give Miss a hood and fetch her through the side door. You don't need to bring her to see me, take her to find He Lao, ask about the situation and then report to me. Seeing that Jin Se was worried, the corners of Li Haoyue's mouth raised an unconscious smile.

"Yes." The guy was instructed to leave.

Jin Se never imagined that he would be invited to Qinglian Zhai.

When the guy handed her a hat to wear, she was startled. Travel back in time to ancient times for so long. It's the first time anyone has given her something like this.

The other party is kind, but it is not easy for him to refuse. I had to pick up the hood and put it on.

Jin Se followed the guy into Qinglian Zhai through the side door, and he was able to come in without queuing, thank God.

She had just squatted on the ground for a while, and her legs were a little numb.

It's still the ultimate in luxury, and it's resplendent everywhere you look. The symmetry of the seamlessness is beautiful, and I can't find a single fault.

The only thing that can be said to be wrong is that too many ornate decorations are easy to attract thieves.

Because Jin Se had been to Qinglian Zhai in Yangcheng, the outfit of the headquarters of Dijing City did not surprise her.

She walked after the fellow without squinting. Such a calm performance made the guy who led the way look at her with admiration.

It's not a loss, Miss, she doesn't blink her eyes with so much gold.
