Chapter 21: A Narrow Encounter
Lin Yue was thinking about it, and he was going to the county government to report the rich man Ma for committing suicide.
Lu Jingshuo, who was standing next to Lin Yue, looked at the guests sitting at the table, and saw a man sitting at the wooden table in the southwest, looking a little familiar.
After taking a closer look, I found that the man in the light purple costume was the son of Qiu Yuanli, Qiu Shi, the waiter of the Ministry of Works.
Lu Jingshuo's starry eyes quietly flashed with a cold light.
Even if Qiu Shi wants to come to Yancheng to participate in a polo tournament, he has to stay in Yancheng, why did he come to Ma's house on the outskirts of Qinhe City as a guest?
Could it be that the Qiu family and the Ma family have a little friendship, Qiu Shi came to the rich man's house, did he want to do anything with the people of the Ma family?
Lu Jingshuo looked at Lin Yue beside her, and saw her frowning slightly, looking preoccupied. He reached out and took her hand.
Lin Yue didn't expect Lu Jingshuo to hold her hand and look up at him, with a hint of surprise in his eyes.
Lu Jingshuo gave Lin Yue a look. reminded her with his eyes: You have also seen that few of the men who come to Ma Wanguan's house to drink are fuel-efficient lamps. Far away, let's talk about a man sitting at that table, who doesn't look like a good person.
Lin Yue felt that Lu Jingshuo's gaze only stayed on her face for a few seconds, and then moved to the face of a man in a light purple suit.
She followed Lu Jingshuo's line of sight, only to find that the man in the light purple suit looked a little familiar. I saw that the man had sword eyebrows and phoenix eyes, and his face was handsome, but there was a bit of evil spirit between his eyebrows, and the bridge of his nose was exposed and sharp.
Just looking at that man, Lin Yue remembered the man's name - Qiu Shi!
Yes, that man is Qiu Yuan's only biological son from the thief. In her first life, in order to help her family avenge her, she sneaked into the heavily guarded Qiu Mansion, intending to stab Qiu Yuanli and his father to death.
However, she only stabbed Qiu Shi to death, and she also took one of her precious lives.
Thinking about it now, Lin Yue feels very sorry for herself at that time. If you want revenge, why venture to the imperial city alone?
Even if you talk to Master and listen to Ajing, what's the matter?
As soon as he thought about it, Lin Yue's heart hurt again for no reason. This pain lasted for a while, until Lu Jingshuo reached out and gently patted her shoulder, reminding her not to be stunned with his eyes, that the pain became a little lighter.
Lin Yue forcibly put away the resentment in her eyes, so as not to be seen by Qiu Shi's thief and suspect her identity.
In this life, she saw Qiu Shi for the first time. If Qiu Shi is still the same as before, he is a person who does no evil. Then she will stab him to death, as she did in the first life, lest he do any more harm to others.
Two women dressed in red stepped forward and greeted Lu Jingshuo and Lin Yue warmly: "Two sons, please come here." ”
One of the women in red looked at Lin Yue, and saw that this son was still young, and he must have never been to the countryside much. This time, he lost no time in saying to Lin Yue:
"Childe, in order to welcome you, our lord and lady also specially invited some singers from Yancheng to come over. They are all as beautiful as flowers, and they also play the pipa well. Why don't I take my son upstairs to listen to the music? ”
Lin Yue couldn't hold back the unhappiness in her heart, and hurriedly glanced at Lu Jingshuo's face. Accidentally, he brought Lu Jingshuo to this kind of place.
Before this, Lin Yue really didn't know that the rich man Ma would also do this kind of business in private.
Lin Yue had a few carrier pigeons in his mind.
It seems that Lu Jingshuo wanted to write down Qiu Shi's affairs at the rich man's house in a note, and then bring it to his friends with carrier pigeons.
Looking at the woman beside him again, a very dimly lit room appeared in Lin Yue's mind, and in the north corner of the room, there was a woman with messy long hair.
The woman was slender and had a delicate face, with a red mole on her eyebrows......
Although the woman's appearance was not very clear, Lin Yue recognized that the woman was Pei Yunzi. She saved Pei Yunzi in her first life, and she still remembers the face of that beautiful woman.
As for the dimly lit room, it should be a secret room of the Ma family, or a miscellaneous house of the Ma family.
The woman in red walking beside Lin Yue was holding a silk handkerchief, and her body was closer to Lin Yue, and then closer. The right hand holding the silk handkerchief deliberately put it on Lin Yue's shoulder, smiled flatteringly, and said:
"Childe, I heard from those family members that you are all guests from afar in the imperial city, and you all know the relatives of my lord. So how long do you plan to stay in Qinhe City when you come here this time? ”
Lin Yue stretched out his right hand, bent his thumb and index finger, and gestured to the woman in red. Meaning, she'll stay here for three days.
Smelling the strange fragrance on the silk handkerchief of the woman in red, Lin Yue was very disgusted in her heart, but she didn't show it on her face.
The fragrance on the silk handkerchief is the fragrance of the feathered flowers.
The Youling Flower is only found in places such as the Northern Crossbow Country, as well as the Northern Xinjiang of Jingxi Kingdom, and it is a poison flower. The spice made from the flower can be used as a mi1huan medicinal powder.
When Lin Yue was in her first life, Master taught her to make antidote pills before taking her out of the valley. If you take the antidote, you won't be harmed by some poison powder.
The antidote powder that can solve the poison of the flower is very precious. To collect those medicinal materials, you have to travel all over Yanzhou and Qizhou and other places to get them together. Lin Yue has crossed over in this life, and he still took the antidote pill in the carriage.
Those pills were all given to her by Lu Jingshuo.
At this time, he smelled a strange fragrance, and Lin Yue's mind was still very clear. The woman in red beside her asked her anything, and she could hear it clearly. She sometimes answered the questions asked by the woman in red, and sometimes ignored them.
The woman in red was still looking to herself:
"Childe, don't be embarrassed. In fact, who doesn't come to our master's house to listen to music? If you're just here for drinking, why don't you drink some chrysanthemum wine in Qinhe City? ”
Lin Yue shook his head slightly.
She didn't want to hear this kind of thing.
But the woman in red next to her was still persuading her.
"Since Childe is here, don't worry about it. What you want to eat, what you want to play, just tell your sister. My sister will do her best to arrange a ...... for you."
Just as the woman in red beside her was speaking, Lin Yue also heard what the other woman said.
"Oh, Childe, you and that friend of yours, shouldn't it be, hehe, hehe. Actually, like Childe, you look so handsome, if it's just a good style, it's a pity. The girls invited by our master's family are all first-class beauties. Childe, you come with me to have a look, I promise, they will not disappoint Childe......"
Lin Yue snickered in her heart.
At the inn, as soon as she looked at Lu Jingshuo, the hall of Yinghualou came to mind.
It can be seen that Lu Jingshuo was thinking about the hall of Yinghualou at that time, what he thought, what kind of picture could appear in her mind.
Until now, she still remembered the women in light pink dresses and sitting in the luxurious hall playing the lute. and the aristocratic sons who sat at the table and gave them money.
Although the picture in my mind is not clear, it is not particularly blurry.
Lin Yue was a little unwilling, how could a person like Lu Jingshuo, who was clean and self-conscious, think of Yinghualou? He himself said that he really went to Yinghualou a long time ago.
He was only sixteen years old, and he had been to Yinghualou a long time ago. Isn't that a bit of that......
