Chapter 008: The Mansion Guarded by the Secret Guard

Seeing that Ah Xiyan didn't answer for a long time, Chu Junmo also guessed that it might have evoked Ah Xiyan's sad past, so he also felt a little regretful, thinking that he shouldn't be in such a hurry to inquire about her past.

After all, the two of them only met today, and they haven't reached the point where they can talk about everything, so they should give Ah Xiyan a period of time, and after getting along slowly and getting to know each other, Ah Xiyan can say what is in her heart without any worries.

Moreover, Chu Junmo could also imagine that Ah Xiyan had just walked for nearly a month before coming to the imperial city, and had experienced two life and death disasters, one time was almost hit by a carriage and died, and the other time unfortunately fell into the hands of gangsters, so at this moment, he should be physically and mentally exhausted and in no mood to mention the past.

Since this is the case, Chu Junmo also did not ask Ah Xiyan again, but silently accompanied her all the way, thinking about how to get along with Ah Xiyan in the future, and what plans Ah Xiyan might have from tomorrow onwards.

Whether to go directly to find her lost relatives, find out her life experience, or find something to do to support herself first.

Because Chu Junmo could see that Ah Xiyan was dressed very ordinary, and she didn't have much baggage before, and she was a person who came out of the isolated Valley of Ten Thousand Poisons, so she must not have much money on her.

I walked for a month, and even if I had a little silver on my body, I guess it was almost gone.

This can also be seen from Ah Xiyan's choice of the most ordinary inn in the neighborhood and the most ordinary guest rooms in the inn, which can also be seen that she does not have a lot of money.

Wang Xu brought more than a dozen plainclothes to the inn before, and after inquiring about Ah Xiyan's situation, he also sent someone to the palace to inform Chu Junmo as soon as possible.

Therefore, Chu Junmo is still very clear about A Xiyan's situation.

Although the most important thing for Chu Junmo is money, with his help, Ah Xiyan can have no worries about food and clothing for the rest of his life, but he can feel that Ah Xiyan is not the kind of person who is greedy for money, let alone unsuccessful, and will never accept the money he gives for nothing.

He can only secretly send someone to keep an eye on her from tomorrow, and then help her at the opportunity, even if he gives her money, he has to do it cleverly, so that Ah Xiyan thinks that he earned it, not what he deliberately gave it to her for nothing.

There is also the fact that if Ah Xiyan really came to the imperial city to find out her relatives and find out her life experience, there should be some special tokens, otherwise more than ten years have passed, and the female university has changed again, and there is no token that can convince her family, and it is impossible to recognize her.

Therefore, Chu Junmo quietly glanced at the jewelry on A Xiyan's body to see if it looked like an ancestral treasure.

It's a pity that Ah Xiyan's headdress is very ordinary, almost none.

There were no precious bracelets or anything like that on his wrists, but only a part of the red rope could be seen around his neck, which was obviously supposed to be a jade pendant.

It's just that the jade pendant is worn close to the body in the clothes, and Chu Junmo can't see it, so he can't judge the preciousness of the jade pendant and whether it is an ancestral thing.

However, it stands to reason that Ah Xiyan has grown up at the moment, and she should not still use the red rope used by children, but it also shows that this unknown jade pendant should be worn by Ah Xiyan from birth.

Presumably, this jade pendant should be able to prove A Xiyan's identity, Chu Junmo felt that if he could take a look at A Xiyan's jade pendant, with his experience and knowledge in the imperial city for so many years, it should be easy to find out A Xiyan's true identity.

It's a pity that this is Ah Xiyan's personal thing after all, and if the relationship is not close to a certain extent, it will not be easily shown to others.

Chu Junmo understands that he can only think long-term and slowly find a suitable opportunity.

Just when Chu Junmo was walking and thinking about how to get along with A Xiyan in the future, he had unconsciously come to the back door of the palace.

And because Ah Xiyan has been silent, she was also a little distracted inadvertently, and she just numbly followed Chu Junmo all the way to this back door.

This back door is located in a very deep small alley, which is very inconspicuous, and there are no other residents in this alley, so it seems very quiet.

Although this alley looks dim and secluded, and there is no one, only Chu Junmo knows that on the high walls on both sides of the alley and near the entrance of the alley, there are royal secret guards all year round, and it is impossible for outsiders to break in casually.

If it weren't for Chu Junmo personally accompanied, Ah Xiyan wouldn't have been able to enter this alley at all, let alone go straight to the back door of the palace.

"Miss, we're here, this is my humble house. Wait a minute, I'll open the door. ”

When Chu Junmo accompanied A Xiyan to the door of the back door, he spoke.

"Oh, well, it looks quiet here. Hey? There is no lock on this door, and you have not lived in the house for a long time, and the door is not locked? ”

After listening to Chu Junmo's words, Ah Xiyan came back to her senses, looked around, and then looked at the door that was not locked, and sighed curiously.

"Hehe, it's not that the door is not locked, but the open lock is not used. Rather, the door is locked with a special mechanism. Most people can't think of it at all. Come, I'll show you, and you can come and go by yourself in the future. ”

Chu Junmo replied with a faint smile.

After finishing speaking, under Ah Xiyan's curious gaze, Chu Junmo stretched out his hands to straighten the two ring handles on the door at the same time, turned his left hand to the left, and then turned his right hand to the right twice, and then let go of his hands.

Then, only a series of sounds were heard of the mechanism opening: "Click-squeak-click-"

Under Ah Xiyan's stunned gaze, the originally closed double doors automatically and slowly opened.

And the moment the door opened, the stone wall lamps on the wall in the entrance yard and the candle lights in the house also slowly lit up by themselves, which looked quite magical.

"Yes, this way you can open the door? It's a saving with a key. It's suitable for people like me who are naturally lost. And is the candle light inside also controlled by a mechanism? It's going to light it up by itself. Hehe. ”

Ah Xiyan said in an appreciative tone.

"Hehe, yes, everything is controlled by the agency, and there is no need to send someone to do it, otherwise I won't be able to live alone without a subordinate and a housekeeper." Simple, right? Just hold the knocker with both hands and turn left once and right twice to open the door. As for closing the door, it's simpler, just pull any knocker and the door will close automatically. Remember how to open and close doors? ”

Chu Junmo said with a faint smile.

"Remember! Rest assured. Can you please take me in and get acquainted with it? ”

Ah Xiyan nodded and replied.

"Good! Please come with me. This house is not big, except for the small garden, there are only wings on the east and west sides. I lived in the wing on the east side, and the west side was always empty. The layout of the wings on both sides is almost identical, but the west wings have their own kitchenette for cooking......"

Chu Junmo said briskly, and took A Xiyan to point to the courtyard and both sides in detail while walking, and took A Xiyan to visit the east and west wings.

After reading it all, when the two of them returned to the small garden again, Chu Junmo said apologetically: "I've taken you to see the house, but I rarely come here to live, and I haven't asked someone to take care of it, so please don't mind if it's a little messy."

"How could I mind. Thank you that it's too late. Well, although the house is not big, it looks even elegant and clean. It seems that you also paid a lot of attention to taking care of this house when you lived in it before. Now that I have been loaned it for the time being, don't worry, I will take care of it, and when the time comes to return it to you, I guarantee that it will be in good condition. Thank you. ”

Ah Xiyan replied with satisfaction.

"Hehe, Miss Ah doesn't mind. It wasn't early at that time, and you must have been tired all day, so you should go back to your room early to rest, right? By the way, the open-air hot spring in the small garden that I just showed you can take a bath all year round, you can feel it, soak in the hot water, and sleep more comfortably. As for the kitchenette in the west wing, you can cook whatever you want. You're welcome. If you need help with anything in the palace, you can light the Kong Ming lantern in the garden, and I will come to you as soon as possible after I see the Kong Ming lantern rising in the palace. Or if you have something urgent to see me, you can also go directly to the gate of the palace and say that you are looking for Mo Gongzi, and someone will naturally inform me. ”

Chu Junmo looked at the moonlight and said empathetically, and deliberately explained the way to contact him.

"Okay, Master Mo, I see. Then you should go back and rest early. ”

Ah Xiyan also replied politely.

Subsequently, Ah Xiyan sent Chu Junmo out of the door, and after seeing Chu Junmo go away, she activated the mechanism to close the door.

In view of the fact that she hadn't eaten much for a day, Ah Xiyan first went to the small kitchen of the West Wing to make a bowl of noodles to eat.

After that, I went to the open-air hot spring in the small garden to take a comfortable bath before returning to the west wing and lying down.

It's just that Ah Xiyan can't sleep after tossing and turning, and she keeps thinking about her sachet in her heart.

She figured that the person who picked up her sachet by this time must have been poisoned, and the seizure looked like he had lost his mind and was talking nonsense.

So she plans to go to the nearby hospital tomorrow morning to find out who has a seizure and gone crazy.

Although the person who picked up the sachet looked like he had lost his mind, he was not really crazy, but he became like that because of the unique poison of the Valley of Ten Thousand Poisons.

Therefore, without Ah Xiyan taking action in person, the doctors in ordinary medical halls would not be able to detoxify at all, and the patient's family would definitely seek medical treatment all over the city, and it would inevitably be full of trouble, so Ah Xiyan only needed to keep an eye on the largest medical hall nearby, and she was very sure who picked up her sachet.

At that time, she will recommend herself to come to the door for treatment, and bring back the sachet by the way.

After solving the matter of the sachet, the next thing she did was to visit the major jade custom shops in the imperial city, and began to investigate the origin of the peace charm jade pendant she had worn since she was a child.

It's just that A Xiyan understands that her life experience may not be found out in a short period of time, and even if it is found, she will not recognize her parents until she finds out whether her parents are willing to recognize her as an abandoned child, and the poison body is not completely cured.

So in order to allow herself to live in the imperial city, she has to find something to do that can support herself, otherwise it will not be a long-term solution to sit and eat and borrow this mansion of Mo Gongzi for a long time.

It's just that what to rely on to earn money to support herself, Ah Xiyan fell into hard thinking and meditation again.

Thinking about it, maybe I was too tired, or I fell asleep......
