Chapter 254: Shoe Prints
People who practice martial arts do not distinguish between heat and cold, even if it is a snowy day, they still will not miss morning classes.
Gu Yunjin is now practicing with Gu Yunqi, and he also got up early in the morning, and went to the main courtyard after freshening up.
Last night's snow was quite heavy, but it didn't fall for a long time, so it only accumulated a thin layer, and did not increase again, and the mother-in-law got up early in the morning, and had swept the snow on the ground into a pile, only the eaves and treetops were still left white.
The snow has stopped, but the weather is still extremely cold, and Mama Shen smiled: "It looks like it won't melt for a while." ”
Gu Yunjin walked on his horse, turned around and responded: "It's okay if it can't be resolved, Brother Feng will be happy." ”
Mama Shen laughed.
As they thought, in the long room, Brother Feng was so happy.
The snow in the capital is not as good as that of the northland, and when the first snow was returned before, it fluttered for a long time, and there was only a little left on the ground in the end, which made Feng Ge'er, who had been living in the northland, extremely dissatisfied.
Today's snow was enough for him to rub snowballs, Brother Feng couldn't bear it at all, so he had breakfast in a hurry, and begged Gu Yunyan to take him to play in the snow.
In the treetops in the back garden, the snow has not yet fallen, and there is more snow than in the yard.
Feng Ge'er rode on his father's shoulder, his little hand stretched out to reach for the snow, giggled and rubbed it together, and smashed it out with his arm.
The snowballs landed, splashed the snow foam, and flew one after another, so happy that he applauded himself.
Gu Yunyan was commanded by Brother Feng to walk around, just under the wall of the backyard, the snow dumplings exploded on the wall, he raised his eyes and swept over, he didn't pay attention at first, and when Brother Feng smashed a ball on the wall again, Gu Yunyan's afterglow suddenly caught a glimpse of something strange.
He looked up, his brow furrowed slightly.
There is a mark on the ridge of the wall, which should have been left when some snow had accumulated, but later it was covered by snowflakes, and the appearance was no longer clear, but because the snow fell not long last night, this mark was not completely erased.
"Looks like a shoe print?" Gu Yunyan was afraid that he had seen the wrong eye, so he beckoned Brother Feng'er's nurse to come over.
The nurse looked up for a while, and said, "Uncle, it's a shoe print." But how can shoe prints be on the ridge of the wall? Someone in our house climbed over the wall when it snowed yesterday? ”
Gu Yunyan handed Brother Feng over to the nurse and took him back, and called the mother-in-law who took care of the garden and the nursing home who patrolled the night.
He asked his mother-in-law, "When you were clearing the snow in the garden, did you find any footprints?" ”
If someone climbs over the wall, it is impossible to leave only one footprint, and there should be a lot of inside and outside the house.
The mother-in-law had a bitter face and said: "There are a lot of footprints, but the people in the house get up before dawn, and there are people walking around in the garden, and the slave didn't think about what was wrong with the footprints at that time, so they just swept it." ”
Gu Yunyan's head, if there is only a string of footprints, it may make people suspicious, but the messy pile will not be eye-catching, not to mention the maid and wife who are early, and the nursing home who patrols the night will also leave footprints.
He looked at the nurses.
The first replied: "Uncle, everything was normal last night, and I didn't find anyone climbing over the wall." Maybe the other person is better than us, or maybe we were patrolling elsewhere when he passed by. ”
Gu Yunyan thought for a while, instructed, and said, "The seals on the ground are gone, go and look at the roof ridges everywhere, maybe there are still seals." ”
A group of people scattered to look for it, went around in a circle, closed the house up and down, and were stunned to find only that one mark.
Gu Yunyan thought about it and went to the fourth room.
In the courtyard, Gu Yunqi was instructing Gu Yunjin to practice marksmanship, and when he heard the movement and looked at the courtyard gate, he saw Gu Yunyan coming in.
Greeting each other, Gu Yunyan said straight to the point: "There is a footprint left on the ridge of the wall behind, that place is close to you, did you hear any movement last night?" ”
Gu Yunqi and Gu Yunjin were both stunned, Gu Yunqi was surprised, and Gu Yunjin was weak-hearted.
"I fell asleep before the snow fell last night, I didn't hear it," Gu Yunqi finished speaking, turning his head to look at Gu Yunjin, "Did you hear that?" ”
Gu Yunjin blinked his eyes.
She thought that Jiang Muyuan's coming and going would be unaware, but she didn't expect that she would show her feet because of the snow.
She asked Nian Xia to wipe the marks on the wall of the East Cross Courtyard, because this place is the most eye-catching, once she is seen, she can't say that the three of them kicked it by themselves, as for the rest of the place, it is not on her head.
It's just that Gu Yunjin also ignored that now this house is no better than the courtyard of Pearl Lane, the courtyard wall of the east cross courtyard is not high, Jiang Muyuan can step on the wall and directly climb out, but the wall of the house is a little higher, even if he has kung fu, he will leave footprints on the ridge of the wall.
Thankfully, it was a wall, close to her quarters, but she was still able to pretend to be stupid.
Gu Yunjin shook his head and said, "I didn't hear anything." ”
Gu Yunyan paid attention to Gu Yunjin's reaction, listened to her answer like this, and didn't ask any more questions, only said to Gu Yunqi: "You go with me to see that seal?" ”
Someone entered and exited the house unconsciously, and Gu Yunqi was also very worried, and responded: "Let's go." ”
The two brothers walked back to the garden, and Gu Yunyan asked in a low voice, "Yun Qi, do you think Yun Jin really didn't hear it or ......?"
As soon as he heard this, Gu Yunqi paused and looked at his brother in surprise: "What do you mean......"
Gu Yunqi was up and down in his heart, so that Gu Yunjin could know but still conceal it, the identity of the other party was about to come out.
"Yun Jin and the little grandfather should have a relationship before they promised to kiss, right?" Gu Yunyan's voice was very low, "In the house we live in now, it is very convenient and smooth for me to go to the yamen to apply for the deed, I wondered if someone had explained, now that I think about it, isn't it a little grandfather?"
This house is so close to the Wu Tai Doctor's Mansion, the old lady doctor came to see the aunt in person, if there is no dignity in the Guogong Mansion, I am afraid that I will not be able to invite it......"
Gu Yunqi pursed his lips.
The inside story of the house and the Wu Imperial Doctor's consultation, Gu Yunqi heard from the Wu family that since the house was found by Jiang Muyuan, he should definitely explain it to him in the yamen.
"Yun Jin and the little grandfather knew each other before, but if you want to say that he ...... in the middle of the night" Gu Yunqi couldn't be sure, or rather, he didn't want to believe it.
Gu Yunyan rubbed his eyebrows: "The kung fu is so good that I didn't call the nursing home to find ......."
Neither of the two can make a conclusion, but even if they do, what should they do?
Do you tell Gu Yunjin not to open the door to Jiang Muyuan, or do you go and tell Jiang Muyuan not to come in the middle of the night to look for it, and to explain anything during the day?
None of them are suitable, and any of them make people angry.
"Uncle, Sixth Master!" A mother-in-law trotted over from afar, and when she came to the front, she gasped and said, "Mrs. Qin next door came, saying that there were several footprints on the wall of the Qin family's courtyard, as if she had been robbed, and Brother Feng's grandmother said that we also have it in the house, so Mrs. asked the uncle to hurry over." ”
Now, it was Gu Yunyan's turn and Gu Yunqi to look at each other.
