Chapter 56: Error
What's going on? It was fine just now.
Chihiro took a closer look, and there was a different person under Hachi's pen.
She picked up the roll paper drawn on the side, unfolded it and looked at it, and then quietly rolled it up and put it away.
Without knowing how many times he changed it, Xiaoba finally got the portrait of Hong Yu and paid the final money.
Chihiro and Hachi then took their leave.
The carriage had already stopped at the door, and the two got into the carriage and drove for a while, passing a group of children.
The group of children at the entrance of the village had already reached the center of the village.
Hachi stopped and got out of the car with the portrait.
The children obviously had an impression of this handsome brother, and when they watched Hachi get out of the car, they all circled around him, and some even stretched out their hands, waiting for the big brother to give him candy.
While dodging the claws of these children, Hachi unfolded one of them and asked, "Have you seen this person?" ”
Chihiro lifted the curtain and laughed out loud at the sight of this scene.
Hachi dodged the children's claws left and right, unwilling to let them get close.
"I've seen it!" The children whispered.
"What's his name?"
The group of children carefully identified for a moment before answering one by one.
"It's a bit like Zhang Jia."
"It's Zhang Yong!"
"I know, I know, it's Zhang Xiangyang!"
"What they said is not right, it's Zhang Hongda's father!"
Hachi's expression didn't change much, but Chihiro, after hearing the children's answers, her face became solemn.
Who was this picture of Hachi, originally depicted? Isn't it Hong Yu?
"What about this? Who is this? ”
Chihiro hears Hachi's voice, and he unfolds another painting.
The children's answers were not as fast as last time, but they were surprisingly consistent.
"Brother Hong Yu."
"It's Hong Yu."
"The beautiful brother of the Hong family! Why does he wear women's braids? ”
Although Hong Yu rarely shows up, it doesn't mean that this group of children hasn't seen it, not to mention, Hong Yu himself is like a crown of jade, even if some of the children have only seen it once, it is enough to remember it for a lifetime.
At this moment, Chihiro understood.
Hong Mingyue is Hong Yu, and Hong Yu is Princess Mingyue.
In this way, few of what Hong Liangcai said to them before were true.
Hachi achieves his goal, puts away the drawing paper, and hears a call.
"Xiao Gongzi!"
It's Kim's. Seeing Hachi and the carriage, she knew that the two were leaving.
Hachi and Chihiro bid farewell to the Kim family, and the gold family said a few words to welcome him back before turning around and walking towards Zhang Gongchang's residence.
On the way back, Hachi and Chihiro didn't speak.
This incident has actually exceeded their previous expectations, and the direction of the investigation has deviated from the original plan.
They knew that Hong Mingyue was a man disguised as a woman to participate in a beauty pageant, and now such a result is both reasonable and unexpected.
If this matter continues to be investigated, how many more secrets of Hong Yu will be touched?
Chihiro is not a person who likes to snoop on other people's privacy, let alone a dangerous person like Princess Mingyue? The more she and Xiaoba knew, the tighter they tied up with Hong Yu, and the more dangerous they were.
They were involved in this because of an assassination, and they couldn't get out at the moment.
Chihiro felt as if she was doing something wrong.
She lifted the curtain and looked at the empty country road, her mind heavy.
How can I find the murderer, and what should I do next?
It's been more than a month since they've been here, when will the investigation here come to light, and when will the stone steamed buns on Princess Mingyue mature?
When will they be able to complete their tasks?
"Don't worry, you'll find the mastermind behind it." Hachi looked at Chihiro's gloomy expression and comforted her.
Chihiro smiled, slightly melancholy, and said, "With you, the murderer will definitely be found." However, we have limited time, so we don't know if we can complete the task on time. I can't help with anything. ”
Even if she can't help, it's her own who has put the two in this predicament.
Chihiro said this with a smile, but Hachi could hear the caution in her words.
She always thinks that she will drag herself back, is she so unconfident?
Hachi sighed in his heart, his task was to help or assist his master to complete the task of not tying the boat, so he never felt that Chihiro was holding him back, but Chihiro sometimes played a little temper and fought against himself, which had happened to any master before.
Chihiro mistook the primary and secondary relationship between the two of them, and also misunderstood the executor of the mission.
Often the first task is never completed smoothly. The style of action and tacit understanding between two people need to be cultivated over a certain period of time.
However, Hachi didn't comfort her, and replied coldly according to Chihiro's meaning: "Go back and practice painting well, and observe and copy local clothing styles, colors, and materials, and it won't be a drag." ”
Hachi knew how lazy she had stolen before, and she didn't show much interest in just painting.
Hearing Hachi's words, Chihiro didn't dare to look at him and lowered her head in shame.
After a moment, he heard the woman opposite whisper, "Got it." ”
Chihiro sat quietly across from her, her breathing so light that it seemed as if she would disappear at any moment.
Hachi felt inexplicably uneasy in his heart, and he grabbed Chihiro's hand on his lap and grabbed the hem of his skirt and held it in his hand.
The right hand probed upwards to her pulse, felt the vigorous beating under the palm, and the heart was stable, and the feelings of gain and loss were swept away.
He leaned forward slightly, holding Chihiro's hand to prevent her from breaking free, his voice was gentle, and he said softly: "Go back and teach you how to draw geometry, okay?" ”
What's so bad!
The cold temperature came from her hand, and the shame slowly climbed up her cheeks, and Chihiro heard Hachi's words, stopped withdrawing her hand, nodded, and agreed.
After receiving a satisfactory reply, the strength in Xiao Hachi's hand became lighter, and she gently withdrew her hand.
Hachi, thank you.
Waved away the fetters that seemed to be nothing, and Chihiro thanked in her heart.

As night fell, the palace was lit up. The sound of silk and bamboo came out of the Qiancao Palace, and all kinds of palace maids came and went.
In the hall, a group of people enjoyed singing and dancing, staggering, and the funny jokes could not be finished.
A woman in a white dress in a pink dress with delicate eyebrows and flowers embroidered with gold silk sat quietly in her place, occasionally eating a few bites of food, which did not match the atmosphere here at all.
Today's banquet was specially set up for General Li to celebrate his successful suppression of the rebellion of the displaced people in the south, and the news came back, which also made the displaced people surrounded outside the imperial capital timid, and they were far away from the imperial capital. The news allowed the king to take a breather under the intense pressure of several months. When he was happy, he came up with such a ridiculous idea to celebrate General Li's achievements.
Hong Mingyue, who didn't want to integrate into the cultural circle of the imperial capital's noble wife, is not even a foil now, and there is no need to have fun with the surrounding Yingying Yanyan.
