Shen Xiao slept until noon, got up and pushed the window to let in the air, and gently and slowly twisted his arms to move his muscles. Looking at the sky, the sun appears and disappears behind the clouds, and the sky is becoming dark and heavy.

Jian frowned: It looks like it's going to rain.

"Woohoo!" The 'Shen Laosan' in the backyard was barking again for no reason, and his voice was like a certain eagerness to attract attention.

Shen Xiao turned his face and saw Chang Xi and Chang Huan, brother and sister, entering the courtyard along the corridor and heading towards the cage of 'Shen Laosan'.

"Don't make a fuss, I'll take you out for a spin twice today!"

"Brother, why haven't Miss and Childe come back?"

"I don't know, anyway, with the son here, there can't be a big deal."

Listening to the conversation, it turned out that Zhao Qingmiao and Zhao Yanjiu went out.

Shen Xiao lowered the corners of his mouth boringly, and was about to turn around, when he saw a long oblique black shadow on the ground, half of his body fell upside down from the eaves, and a fair and pretty face poked out, and the 'four eyebrows' were extremely funny.

Shen Xiao was startled, and almost instinctively grabbed the man's throat, and suddenly felt that the feeling of pinching his throat was smooth and delicate, and he suddenly understood. He let go of his fingers and took two steps back.

"If you don't get in, you have to learn to be a thief?"

Therefore, Xiaoyu turned over and jumped and landed easily. Dressed in a clean plain arrow sleeve shirt, the person was still panting, rubbing his hands on his neck to soothe it, and glared at him with some anger: "Little boy, haven't you heard of beating people without slapping their faces, and catching thieves to catch stolen goods?" I look like a thief all over my body. Besides, don't you and I want to come in in a dignified manner! ”

She came with news today, thinking that she would enter again at night, but she was afraid of delaying things, so she simply climbed over the wall and entered. Fang just shocked a black dog raised by Zhao Mansion, as smart as her, and she was agile and got rid of it in time, so she didn't attract the attention of others in the mansion.

Shen Xiao bypassed her directly, closed the window first, and then turned around and stared at her deeply, "The news of the Thousand Machine Pavilion has arrived?" What did Guo Bu say? ”

Therefore, Xiao Yu thought that he was pinching the pain just now, and he didn't know how to accompany him first, so he raised his neck and snorted coldly.

- Please, beg my aunt and grandmother to tell you!

Shen Xiao guessed when he saw her expression, but sneered: "If you don't say it, I'll throw you out." ”

Therefore, Xiaoyu rolled her eyes and comforted herself: Grandma is afraid of hurting you, so as not to explain to the customer.

Her eyes slowly moved to the side, she hooked a square stool on her toes, caught it in her hand, sat down and said, "My master informed Guo Bu when he received the news, and I only received a reply in the morning, and the two of them will come to Yongcheng together." ”

Shen Xiao's eyes narrowed slightly, as if there was light and light extinguished, and the calm on his handsome face was incomprehensible, and a trace of coldness flashed slightly. He intentionally or unintentionally tempted: "Is this matter revealed to others?" ”

Therefore, when Xiao Yu heard this, he was angry and glared: "What do you mean?" We do things in Qianji Pavilion, confidentiality is the first point, life is at stake, never joke! ”

She wanted to get up, but Shen Xiao saw through her movements. Shen Xiao reached out and pressed her shoulder in time, pressed a finger to her mouth to signal her to be quieter, and said slowly: "Don't worry, I'm just asking, there is no best." ”

- This kid is not a year or two older than himself, but he is very old-fashioned!

Therefore, Xiao Yu withdrew his shoulder unconvinced, his expression was slightly dark, and he patted the gray on his shoulder that did not exist at all: "Didn't you set some trap, so that some people could drill it, right?" ”

It was just a sentence, Shen Xiao looked at her quietly, guessing what she had seen.

But even he didn't find that the facial features of the two were compared from a certain angle, and there was such a three-point similarity.

Wang Kee Restaurant.

Outside the window, the sky is gray, and the raindrops are connected into a curtain.

The rain crackled and knocked on the window from time to time, jumping into the house and slightly wetting the corner of the wall. A copper stove is placed on the sandalwood case to smoke incense, and the porcelain altar with blue and red glaze is planted with emerald phoenix tail bamboo, which looks elegant and poetic.

"Hahaha, Mr. Ji, I love to listen to your speech, and it is better to drink and talk at first sight with you!" Zhao Yanjiu and Ji Yunli drank half a pot of wine, and their cheeks were already crimson.

"Zhao Gongzi set up an academy, which made Ji someone admire."

Zhao Yanjiu thought that the other party was a cold person, but he turned out to be very talkative. From the landscape to the high hall, from the folk customs to the national policy, I can't help but raise my eyebrows when I am interested.

It is said that the mouth of the literati is a ghost who deceives people. The two praised each other for a while, but in fact, they had their own temptations.

Zhao Qingmiao was eating quietly and quietly, and occasionally heard Ji Yunli talk about interesting things when he was patrolling with the supervision case, and smiled with a smile.

Coldly, Ji Yunli looked at this end.

The eyes were neither warm nor cold, but Zhao Qingmiao couldn't help but care. Her heart tightened, so she simply put down her chopsticks and wiped the corners of her mouth, and looked back at the past with a calm expression.

The two eyes hurriedly met, Ji Yunli lowered his gaze first, lowered his head and didn't know what he was thinking.

"Zhao Gongzi, listen to the accent, you have also been in Shangjing?" He asked as if he was inadvertent.

Zhao Yanjiu shook the wine glass in his hand, and his expression was uninhibited and slightly drunk.

"yes, I lived there many years ago...... Mr. Ji, I see that you are as old as me. You're already the right-hand man of Lord Kashiwa, and you should have met a lot of nobles in Beijing, right? ”

Ji Yunli stared thoughtfully at the clear wine in the cup, raised his head and drank it all.

"Zhao Gongzi thinks too highly of me, the big and small officials in the capital are divided into three, six, nine and so on, like I have no position and no right to step into the palace department, who can I know with whom? Zhao Gongzi asked, but who do you want to ask? He raised his eyes to explore faintly.

"Hmm, curious." Zhao Yanjiu still has that scattered morality, "I was determined to be an official when I was young, but unfortunately I didn't learn much later...... I remember that when I left Beijing, there was a Dali temple with a good reputation, I heard that people died, and I don't know who did that position now? ”

Ji Yunli's gaze stopped at Zhao Yanjiu's face and looked at him carefully, seeing that he seemed to be drunk or not, but he was not without scheming when he spoke. After pondering, he said: "I have been out with Lord Bai all the year round, but I have also heard that Lord Liu Chengfeng is now honest and upright, and he is a master in the trial of Dali Temple." ”

Zhao Qingmiao remembered hearing about this person. Dad was the Dali Siqing back then, and the second-in-command was Liu Chengfeng. Could it be that my brother wants to start with that person and investigate Daddy's death? It's been too long since I went to the capital, and I didn't necessarily find out what I had to do.

Her eyes darkened, she looked at Zhao Yanjiu, and found that he also had a solemn expression, as if he had precipitated emotions and surged. After a while, I burp and don't ask any questions.

"That." Zhao Yan stood up violently for a long time, feeling a little dizzy and shaking. "Mr. Ji, that's all for today! You and Master Bai won't leave before the autumn exam, so we'll have to make an appointment again! ”

Zhao Qingmiao went up and helped, supporting his brother's head on half of his shoulder. The three of them descended the stairs back and forth and stopped at the counter.

The rain continued unabated, and the guests in the lobby simply ordered another pot of hot wine. Passers-by take shelter from the rain under the eaves. The autumn wind swept away the fallen leaves, and the doorway was muddy and wet.

Seeing that Ji Yunli was about to leave alone, Wang Ji's shopkeeper hurriedly came up and handed over an umbrella.

"Childe is good to go."

Ji Yunli thanked him, and looked at Zhao Qingmiao with some concern hesitantly: "Miss Zhao, how do you and Brother Ling go back?" ”

"Naturally, I have a sedan chair." A young man stood firmly at the door, the wind and rain fluttering on the oil-paper umbrella in his hand.
