In the front hall, Lin Shangshu and Lou's mother and daughter had already arrived, and it seemed that they were waiting for themselves again, Xia Shen said haha: "Dad! Good afternoon, everyone has arrived, and there is a delay in some things! ”

"It's okay, Qing'er, sit down!" Lin Shangshu said.

Xia Shen saw that there were more chairs today, and Lou's mother and daughter sat on the left side of Lin Shangshu together, thinking that the two chairs on the right side were probably reserved for himself and Lin An, so he sat next to Lin Shangshu's right side.

Since getting along with Lin Rong'er recently, Xia Shen's relationship with her has eased a lot, maybe Su Dong was present, Lin Rong'er rarely was unreasonable to Xia Shen anymore, and Xia Shen winked at Lin Rong'er when she sat down.

As soon as she sat down, Mrs. Jiang took Lin An into the hall and said, "Master, madam, the little master is playful, and he ran to the backyard alone, so that the old man can be easy to find." ”

Lou called Lin An gently: "An'er, come and eat!" He turned his head and lowered his eyes and said, "Master, it's all because the concubine is not in good health, so An'er ran out by herself." ”

Lin Shangshu waved his hand and said: "That's it, An'er is the age of playfulness, and besides, there are people in this mansion, and if you can't lose it, Mrs. doesn't have to blame herself." ”

During the banquet, Lou Shi seemed to have no intention of chatting, and said: "I heard that Qing'er has been very close to His Royal Highness King Zhao recently, and she has been playing all day long, Qing'er is really blessed, and His Royal Highness is really interested in you!" ”

"Oh? Is this true? The two daughters are already old enough to get married, but Lin Shangshu is worried for some reason, puts down the dishes and chopsticks and asks.

Xia Shen said: "The words are true, but we are just traveling together, just to have fun!" ”

Lin Shangshu's hanging heart was put down, and Xia Shen looked in Lin Rong'er's direction with a smile: "I heard that my sister has been out of the yard a lot recently, but she hasn't left the house, I don't know..."

Before she finished speaking, Lin Rong'er suddenly coughed, as if she was choking on rice, she knew that she couldn't let her mother know that she often met with Xia Shen and Su Dong, but it was cold that Xia Shen deliberately mentioned this matter during the banquet.

Mrs. Jiang hurriedly went over and gently patted Lin Rong'er's back, and said, "Second Miss, be careful!" As he spoke, he picked up the teacup and said, "Here, drink some water." ”

Lin Rong'er took a sip of tea and said, "Jiang Xi, I'm fine!" ”

Mrs. Jiang relieved her mind at this time.

Xia Shenhuan noticed this detail with deep meaning, she had seen this Mrs. Jiang, it was Lou's personal chatter, and she knew that the master loved this pearl in her hand the most, even if Lin Rong'er's personal maid was present, Mrs. Jiang did not care about Lin Rong'er so much, so considerate, that kind of worry could not be pretended, she really cared about Lin Rong'er.

Presumably, only if you are loyal to the Lou family and follow it for many years, you will have such an awareness, and this person is also very suspicious!

After eating, Xia Shen returned to Qinglan Courtyard, and at this moment, Jiang Condensing also came back to recover his life.

"Miss Lin, just based on a clue of lameness, to find out this person who has a relationship with Qionghua Academy, like looking for a needle in a haystack, condensing secretly visited all morning and found nothing, do you continue to investigate?" Jiang condensed.

"Sister Ning, I just found a suspicious person again, maybe I can find out something by following her!"

Condensation asked, "Who is this person?" ”

Xia Shen said: "Lou's personal chatter, Mrs. Jiang!" ”

On the same day, Jiang Condensing secretly observed Mrs. Jiang's every move, but she stayed in the mansion and waited without any abnormality.

At night, Condensation hid at the door of Qionghua Courtyard, and only then did he see Mrs. Jiang sneaking out of the house, carrying a frame in her hand, probably pretending to be the food of Shangshu Mansion, and walking through the side door.

Condensation followed all the way, and it was not good to get close for fear that Mrs. Jiang would notice, so she didn't dare to go too far, and carefully watched Mrs. Jiang's whereabouts not far away.

Passing through the downtown area during the day, all the way to the southeast corner of Kyoto City, which is a residential area, inhabited by ordinary people, Mrs. Jiang came to an ordinary courtyard that can no longer be ordinary, knocked twice, and shouted "Blessing!" ”。

In a moment, someone stepped forward and opened the door.

Taking advantage of the moonlight, Condensation saw that the door of the courtyard was open inward, only to see that the person who came was short, thin, slightly hunched over, and after opening the door, he jumped back twice, welcomed Mrs. Jiang in, and said, "Old woman, why are you back!" ”

Mrs. Jiang raised the basket in her hand, and said as she entered the door: "It's not that you are a drunkard, there are some meat and vegetables left in the house, and half a jar of good wine, but the foreign envoys paid tribute, and the lady rewarded me all." ”

"It's still Mrs. who feels sorry for me, hehe, I'm going to thank Mrs. for me tomorrow." Lefle happily jumped forward two more steps and closed the door.

The left leg is only an aid to walk during the whole process, and it can't be stressed at all!

The cold eyes tightened, Miss Lin really guessed correctly, she quickly looked around, wrote down the courtyard, and flew away.

Behind the door, Mrs. Jiang showed a sly smile on her face, which was very hideous under the moonlight...

On the second day, Xia Shen nestled in the recliner and thought seriously.

The clue seems to be broken when it is found here, even if it is known that Mrs. Jiang has something to do with the lame and Qionghua Academy, where should they start with the bad things they did ten years ago!

Suddenly, a glimmer of light flashed in her eyes, and she said, "Nuan'er, do you know when Aunt Shen entered the mansion?" ”

Nuan Erdao lowered her head and pondered: "I used to hear the chatters in the house talk about it, and now there should be... Twelve years! ”

Xia Shen said thoughtfully: "Twelve years, then she should have seen my mother, right!" Is An'er her only child? ”

Nuan'er replied: "Miss, since Aunt Shen entered the mansion, she has only had one heir from the little master. ”

"How old is An'er?"

"Miss Hui, the little master is six years old this year!"

"Hmm... It seems that Aunt Shen's child is not easy to come by! Xia Shen nodded slightly.

If you catch a clue, you should quickly investigate, otherwise... She can wait, Lin Qing's soul can't wait!

Xia Shen got up and left.

"Miss! Where are you going? ”

Xia Shen suddenly turned around and asked, "Where does Aunt Shen live?" ”

Nuan'er paused and said, "In Shuiyunju, Miss, I'll take you there!" ”

"Good!" Xia Shen said as he walked: "Shuiyunju... This name is very fresh and refined! ”

Nuan Er said: "Yes, I heard that when Aunt Shen first entered the house, the master loved it very much, and the nickname of the courtyard was also taken according to Aunt Shen's character!" ”

Walking to Shuiyunju, Xia Shen observed slightly.

The elegant atmosphere that comes to the face, although the furnishings in the courtyard are a little old, but the layout is appropriate, but it adds a lot of classical charm, and a few Junzi orchids on the side of the corridor are in bloom, subtle and deep, elegant and solemn.

There is a small vegetable patch on the right side of the courtyard, the vegetable leaves are all oily and shiny, full and big, like a fat doll, I saw Aunt Shen wearing a navy blue robe, a black hair pulled at will, hanging a few locks of broken hair, bending over to do something.

This scene, quiet, wonderful, and full of fireworks, saw a bit of otherworldliness from Aunt Shen.

Xia Shen thought to himself, this must be a person who is delicate and loves life, and called softly: "Aunt Shen! ”

Hearing this, Shen stopped what he was doing, and was stunned, before turning around and saying, "The eldest lady has something to look for me?" ”

"No, no, just stop by and go around, you're busy!" Xia Shen scratched his head and said.

"By the way?" Shen Shi looked at the courtyard behind him and said, "My Shuiyunju and Qinglan Courtyard are two opposite directions, no matter how the eldest lady turns, she can't follow me!" ”

Xia Shen smiled: "It seems that you can't hide anything from Aunt Shen, but Aunt Shen doesn't have to see her like this, just call me Qing'er." ”

"Tell me, what's the matter with me." Shen lowered his eyes and said.

"Do you know my mother?"
