Chapter 23: A Little Trick Hua Jin Explores Guo's Mansion
The imperial grandson did not go north immediately, nor did he wander around in Baoying County, but just returned to the county office, asked someone to serve him with pen and ink, and wrote on his own.
Xiao Yan and Xiao Zhong didn't dare to ask more, they waited at the door for the imperial grandson to speak, and saw that the imperial grandson had written one after another posture, and it would be tomorrow if he wanted to leave.
Hu Yanjin only picked two "junior brothers" to notify the resumption of classes, one is Xu Jingtang, the youngest son of the county master, and the other is Hua Rong, the younger brother of Hua Qiao. Xu Jingtang was followed by a group of children from wealthy official families who wanted to get close to him, and notifying him was equivalent to notifying a string.
Xu Jingtang is easy to find, there is a place in the West Market where a bunch of people play cockfighting, Xu Jingtang and his "Iron Crown General" are inside.
"General Ironcrown, bite it! Bite it! Again! Uncle, I won! ”
Xu Jingtang was so happy that he hugged the brother next to him and jumped up. But this brother was not as excited as he was. Hey? Who are you?
"Oh, big brother! How come I never met you? It doesn't matter if you haven't seen it, let's play together**? I'm a victorious general. Xu Jingtang warmly invited.
"I'm going to inform the others, the eight people you're playing with, you're in charge of notifying, remember?"
Hu Yanjin came out of the West Market and went to Hua's house. Notify Hua Rong, then needless to say, it is naturally because ...... He was a warm-hearted man. Those poor children are willing to associate with him.
"It turned out to be a senior brother, disrespectful and disrespectful! Hua Rong will ask the senior brother for more guidance in the future. Hua Rong looked at this handsome senior brother with admiration, patted his chest and said, "Don't worry, senior brothers other than Xu Jingtang's group, I will notify someone." ”
When Hua Youcai and his wife saw that it was Mr. Wu's disciple who came to inform them of the resumption of classes, they naturally enthusiastically let people go home. Hua Qiao heard a sound in the yard, and also looked out of the window, and at this look, she saw Hu Yanjin who accompanied her to Yizhuang last night.
Hu Yanjin naturally also saw the figure by the window.
He raised his voice a little and explained to Hua Youcai and his wife: "The imperial grandson came to Baoying this time to ask Mr. about the reform of the imperial examination, and nothing else. If there are no accidents, they will leave tomorrow. ”
Hearing Hu Yanjin's explanation, it took Hua Youcai to let go of half of his heart.
"Young Master Huyan, the family made Qingtuan and cold cakes today, I'll take some for you to bring back, you and Mr. can taste them." Yun Niang felt relaxed and happily went to the kitchen.
Hua Youcai chatted without words: "Huyan's surname is good, the iron whip Huyanzan, killing thieves with bare hearts; The double whip is scorching, and the killing is brave. It's a pity that after the Yuan Dynasty, it was rare to hear that there were descendants of Huyanzan. ”
When Hua Youcai was still Song Haoyu, among the four famous novels, he liked to watch "Water Margin" the most, and even his son used the name of Xiao Li Guanghuarong. The double whip is scorching, the eighth place in Tiangang Star, how can he not remember?
Huyanjin was full of blood in his chest, for so many years, even his father no longer mentioned the glorious ancestral history of the Huyan family, and it was the first time he had heard someone praise his ancestors so much. Hu Yanjin couldn't help but bow deeply to Hua Youcai and said:
"Don't hide it from my uncle, Hu Yanjin is the descendant of Hu Yan Zhuo, just because the ancestors were framed by traitors and the heirs of the Huyan family withered, so they went incognito and fled the rivers and lakes."
Hua Youcai is also very excited, he has traveled to Daming for so many years, except for Yun Niang's mother and daughter, he has never had any adventures, and now he meets a descendant of a hero in a novel, and he is also a big living person, and he is not in vain.
"Eh! Then we have to make good friends, I have admired those heroes since I was a child, but unfortunately I have no chance to do chivalry in this life. Gongzi Huyan will come to the house more often in the future, and you will take him to the right road more in our family Huarong. ”
The buckwheat in the window also pursed her lips and smiled: It turns out that you are not only a disciple of Mr. Wu, but also a descendant of a great hero, no wonder you are handsome, polite, and extraordinary......
When she finished thinking about her thoughts, she looked out again, and there was no one in the courtyard. Hu Yanjin thanked Yun Niang's youth group and cold cakes, and went back to the private school with the food box.
didn't see anyone, and Hua Qiao couldn't help but be a little disappointed. But on second thought: Aren't we still on a date tonight? Well, see him again at night!
Although Hu Yanjin had already come to explain the reason why the imperial grandson was stranded in Baoying, the imperial grandson did not leave, and Hua Youcai and his wife still did not allow Hua Qiao to go out.
So Hu Yanjin was like a shadow again, appearing in Hua Qiao's room.
This time, Hua Qiao was ready, she didn't have black clothes, so she made some modifications to one of her dark blue dresses, which was easier to run, jump and walk, and tied a black cloth bag around her waist, which contained her inspection tools.
Hu Yanjin looked at her dress, and saw that the quilt on the bed had been rolled up like yesterday. Needless to say, I picked it up and went out of the flower house. They were still walking in the alley, and after a while, they arrived outside the walls of Guo's house.
I came out late today, and most of the rooms of the Guo family were gone. Hu Yanjin took out two masked towels, handed one to Hua Qiao with a smile, and asked in a low voice, "Are you ready?" Flower hero? ”
Hu Yanjin jumped in first, and after a while, he jumped out to pick up the buckwheat: "I turned around and blew some soothing incense for them, but they couldn't come back to Zhou Gong in less than five days." ”
"You're a 'rooster song five more soul incense', right?" Hua Qiao said with a soft smile.
Hu Yanjin didn't answer her, but the eyes exposed outside the masked scarf smiled crookedly. With the buckwheat, I entered Miss Guo's boudoir from the window.
Sure enough, as Hua Qiao said, before the first seven days, Miss Guo's room remained the same. Even the handkerchief, which was half embroidered on the flower bandage, was placed on the table together with the needlework dustpan, scissors, and patterns, as if the owner had only left temporarily and would come back at any time to continue embroidering.
Hu Yanjin closed the window, went to the bed and brought a bed cover towel, blocking the window tightly. He laughed, "Now, you can light the oil lamp and watch slowly." Hua Qiao stood there without moving, frowning and saying, "The smell in the room is wrong." ”
Hu Yanjin also shrugged his nose and sniffed, and asked, "Sulfur?" In the spring, the insecticidal ants will sprinkle some sulfur powder. Look at yours, and I'll look around to see where the brimstone is sown. ”
Hua Qiao nodded, and then lit the oil lamp. As soon as the grease in the oil lamp burns, there will be some smell in the room, and the faint smell of sulfur just now is covered. Hu Yanjin couldn't help but secretly admire Hua Qiao's carefulness.
Hua Qiao went to Miss Guo's dresser first and flipped through it carefully, but she didn't see a single earring. Don't? That earring is not Miss Guo's? can be hung on Xiao Jiuru's belt, which is obviously much newer than other things, as if it has just been hung up......
The mercury could not be found, and the earrings were not found.
Hua Qiao felt that the clue in her heart was broken all of a sudden.
