Chapter 90: Calm Waves
The night is getting thicker, and the Chunfeng Building is the same as in the past, full of lights and wine, bustling.
What is different from usual is that since the last time Xia Yuxi danced amazingly, not only the old customers often came, but also recruited a group of newcomers to Chunfeng Building.
For this reason, these days, the business of Chunfeng Lou has ...... is becoming more and more popular, Zhao Chunxiang receives money and receives soft hands, and laughs from ear to ear all day long, almost beating gongs and drums.
Different from the noisy and noisy fireworks outside, on the second floor, in the west wing, the room where Su Qiqiao was located was quiet, the candle flame was slightly jumping, and the atmosphere was peaceful, which was clearly isolated from the atmosphere of the market outside.
But soon, the only remaining quiet beauty in this room was rudely broken by Xia Yuxi's loud voice.
"What? Not Liu Qinxin? Are you sure? ”
Xia Yuxi's eyes widened, pulling the high notes, and the action of preparing to stuff the bun in his mouth also stopped.
"It's true, I can assure you, it's definitely not her." Su Qiqiao held his forehead, thought about it, and said again.
"I've been talking to her for a long time, and I'm pretty sure she's not harmful."
"It shouldn't be, who else but her......" Xia Yuxi's face was full of suspicion, staring at her directly, "What did you two talk about?" Or did she pour you ecstasy soup? Believe her so much. ”
"Talked about ......"
Su Qiqiao paused, and smiled slyly in her appearance, "I talked about some unspeakable secrets, and no third person can know about them." ”
Although she believes that Xia Yuxi will not say it, it is better that fewer people know about Liu Qinxin's life experience.
What's more, since she promised to keep her secret, she can't be untrustworthy.
"Shhhh Think I'm rare? ”
Hearing this, Xia Yuxi's originally curious eyes suddenly changed, he waved his hands with disgust, and took a bite of the meat bun with his head bored, overflowing with fragrant juice.
Su Qiqiao saw that she didn't speak, thinking that she was sulking, and was about to comfort her for a word or two, who knew that Xia Yuxi almost choked her to death with another sentence.
"I see! It must be that peppercorn! She's the one who got in the way and played us around!"
Xia Yuxi raised her head, her face angry.
“…… What? Pepper? ”
Su Qiqiao was dumbfounded, and her thoughts couldn't keep up with her rhythm.
"That's right, think about it, according to the principle of profit maximization, if you fall, Liu Qinxin, who is of the same class as you, will definitely benefit the most."
"But since that Liu Qinxin is not the murderer, if you push it down, isn't it that pepper!"
"She's a red guy, she's selling her art and body, she lives on the second floor with the two of you, if you're gone, she will definitely be good!" Xia Yuxi pushed his glasses that didn't exist at all, and his eyes flashed with wisdom.
Su Qiqiao blinked and smiled.
"Eldest sister, you also used this theory to deduce Taohong and Liu Qinxin before, but none of them were accurate."
"I know that your theory is feasible, but you also have to combine theory with reality, your nonsensical conclusion is too unreliable."
"Uh, this."
Xia Yuxi's face was slightly embarrassed, scratching her head, her voice was similar to that of a mosquito humming, and even she didn't have much confidence herself, and her expression was depressed.
"What if, what if my guess is true?"
"Even if it's a guess, eldest sister, you have to find preliminary evidence, how can you guess like this?"
"Okay."
Xia Yuxi puffed out her mouth and ate another meat bun angrily.
"You can take it easy, eating too much at night is easy to accumulate food, and it is easy to gain weight."
"Hmph, the old lady is not afraid." Xia Yuxi continued to bite the bun happily.
Su Qiqiao was speechless, so he went with her.
"Sichuan peppercorns."
Su Qiqiao muttered to himself, and for some reason, he also raised his vigilance against this person in his heart.
She always felt that the character of Sichuan pepper was too vague. It's like a piece of paper full of colorful lines, making it impossible to tell what the painting itself looks like.
After eating and drinking, turn off the lights and go to bed.
In this way, a peaceful and extraordinary day passed.
……
The sky was full of stars, and in the cold humidity, Su Qiqiao got up early, lit a bean lamp, and read quietly under the candlelight.
After a quarter of an hour, the twilight faded and the light crept up the horizon, the light soft and warm.
Su Qiqiao blew out the candle, remembered what Liu Qinxin said yesterday, thought about it, and felt that it made sense.
Anyway, she wasn't too busy, and she still had time to eat, so she decided that unless she was too busy, she would go to eat herself.
"It's time to exercise."
Su Qiqiao stretched out his hand and touched the beam of light in the window, smiled lightly, turned his head to look at Xia Yuxi, who was lying on the bed, sleeping soundly, pouted and walked out.
Back yard, stove room.
Su Qiqiao twitched his nose and smelled the delicious fragrance in the steamer, and the whole person seemed to be about to blend into the steaming mist in front of him, quite enjoyable.
Next to her, the chef who had been instructed by Xia Yuxi, Lu Yunxiang had an apron tied around her waist, and was chattering with mung bean soup for Su Qiqiao at the same time.
"Hey, Xiufang, do you know, didn't Wen suddenly fall seriously ill two days ago and went home? As a result, it has only been two days, and he has already died of illness at home!"
"What? Wen's went? ”
The old woman named Xiufang was startled, put down the work in her hand, and hurriedly asked.
"Wen's going?"
"Who said it wasn't, hey, think about this person is useless when he's old, you see, he talked to us two days ago, and now it's gone."
"Then if she goes, doesn't she have a little grandson named Liu Su? What about the kid? ”
"Alas, I think about it, that child is only six years old, and the Wen family has no relatives, what a whole thing, it's really worrying."
Lu Yunxiang sighed again as she spoke, handed the mung bean soup to Su Qiqiao, and turned her head to talk to the old woman.
As for what she said, Su Qiqiao couldn't listen to it anymore, she took two plates of steamed buns, and put two bowls of mung bean soup into the food box, after doing all this, she was still in a dream, and slowly walked out of the stove room.
According to Liu Qinxin, Granny Wen should also be a good and conscientious old man, who has served Liu Fu all her life, a lonely old man, who wanted to live for a long time, but encountered Liu Qinxin, who was so difficult and difficult.
She shouldn't have been in this idle business, she was left alone. But she still did her master-servant friendship to the extreme, and she never thought that she would end up like this.
Speaking of which, this Granny Wen is so dedicated to Liu Qinxin's mother and son, and her affection is beyond others.
I don't know, Liu Qinxin knows how to feel about this, it must be very heartbreaking.
Su Qiqiao thought like this, and after a glance, he noticed Liu Qinxin standing under the pear tree.
She was dressed in white and plain clothes, her long hair was simply tied up with a ribbon, and she didn't wear any jewelry on her body, but she just stood there, her hands folded, her expression solemn, and she let the falling flowers hit her shoulders.
After a long time, she calmed down, slowly turned her head, and saw Su Qiqiao, tears glistening in her red eyes, and then smiled with tears in her eyes, and turned to leave.
