Bai Tang stood under a big tree outside the gate of Qinfu. The wind of late summer and early autumn has lost the heat of the summer, and it is full of strength, blowing off a few leaves and a few ripe green fruits.

Qin Jian said to him with a smile: "Bai Tang, when I have settled my sister, I will come to discuss Lan Xue's matter with you." ”

But seeing that Bai Tang didn't hear it, he squatted down and picked up something in front of him to look at it: a small green fruit on a thin stem.

Qin Jian was puzzled and said, "This is the fruit of the camphor tree." What's wrong? ”

Bai Tang suddenly changed color and blurted out: "Camphor tree?!" ”

"yes." Qin Jian looked up at the lush trees, "Camphor trees are common in the south of the Yangtze River. Camphor wood can be used as furniture, and its fragrance can avoid insects. In the Jiangnan family, when a daughter is born, the parents will plant a camphor tree. When the daughter grows up, she can be used as a dowry. ”

How could Bai Tang not recognize the camphor tree! The reason why he was shocked was that he suddenly remembered what he had read in his previous life, on the medical case of the doctor in the Ming and Qing dynasties, a terrifying case of the inner house toppling!

"Brother Qin." The corners of Bai Tang's mouth drew a graceful arc. "I probably know what kind of illness Sister Ling has!"

Qin Jian still had doubts in his heart, he didn't dare to believe his words too much, and shook his head and said, "Let's talk about it when I come back." ”

Bai Tang grabbed his wrist again, not allowing him to refuse, and whispered in his ear.

The more Qin Jian listened, the more surprised he became! In the end, his face was extremely gloomy and ugly, and he arched his hand to Bai Tang, turned around and got on the horse without saying a word, and quickly chased after the convoy.

Bai Tang watched them go away, and sighed gloomily: The courtyard of the Qin family's deep mansion is not peaceful!

Hopefully, his guess is not wrong, Qin Jian can save Miss Qin's life!

When Bai Tang turned home, out of the corner of his eye, he caught a glimpse of a thin figure quickly flashing into the shop on the side of the road. He chuckled in his heart, again?

He pretended to be completely uneventful, and walked around the city a few times, and the figure behind him always followed.

Bai Tang simply stopped caring about him and returned to Songzhu Zhai.

When the steward saw him, he hurriedly put down the abacus in his hand, and stepped forward with a smile on his face: "Young master, have you done the gold sprinkling fan ordered by the Liu family?" ”

Bai Tang's face froze: "No-"

The steward smiled slightly: "Have you done the full set of birthday words set by Mrs. Zhong to sprinkle gold paper?" That's a birthday gift for the British duchess! ”

Bai Tang was embarrassed: "I-hehe, the recent one-"

The steward almost lost his smile: "Why don't you draw a few of Yunlong's poems?" ”

Bai Tang lifted his feet and walked to the courtyard: "Let's go paint, let's paint!"

The whole steward shook his head without a clue, and Bai Tang turned around again and said in a low voice: "Help me pay attention to whether there are any suspicious people outside the shop." ”

"What suspicious person?"

"It's just a person who always walks around in front of our shop, shrinking his head and brain, and has a sneaky face."

The steward frowned in surprise and said, "What do you mean—"

"Someone's staring at my whistle." Bai Tang pouted, "It's the kid in the blue shirt." I don't know why! ”

As soon as Bai Tang's words fell, he immediately felt that the momentum on the whole steward was different, like an old cat who had turned on the defense system, and the hair on his whole body exploded.

"You can rest assured. I'm going to make that kid not get better! ”

It wasn't until after Songzhuzhai closed the door that the people who jingled the whistle left. But there are more vendors selling late-night snacks outside the door.

When Bai Tang learned about it, he laughed out loud: How stupid is this! The street where Songzhuzhai is located is a bookstore. After closing in the evening, there were almost no people except for the scattered boys who watched the shops. There are very few shops like him with a courtyard behind them. I used to choose this place from a snack vendor to do business. If you really want to make money, you should choose the residential area on the other side, right?

Since the other party sent it to the door, he might as well take the opportunity to find out.

He generously went out with a lantern, walked to the vendor, sniffed his nose, and smiled, "It just so happens that I haven't eaten enough at night." What kind of late-night snacks are you selling? He looked up at the vendor and couldn't help but smile.

Under the dim yellow light, the young stall owner is quite tall and tall. His dark yellow countenance, hairy eyebrows, and beard made him look like a down-and-out, but his beautiful eyes, which sparkled in the night, betrayed his true appearance.

Bai Tang has never seen such good-looking eyes, they are really like peach blossoms, like spring water, if it weren't for his dull complexion and rough face, what kind of beauty should this young man be? !

When the stall owner saw him, he was obviously surprised, and hurriedly said: "Oh, I, I'm selling duck noodles!" ”

"Duck powder!" Bai Tang took out a string of copper coins, "It smells very fragrant." How much is a bowl? ”

The stall owner's beautiful eyes turned slightly, and after thinking about it, he said, "Five cents." ”

"It's not expensive, it's not expensive." Bai Tang paid the money and said, "Give me more duck gizzards and duck intestines." ”

The stall owner didn't know where to put the money for a while, so he had to stuff it into his pocket indiscriminately. When the soup was served, he was burned to the edge of his palm by the pot, hissing softly, and the person also flicked it, and a spoonful of soup was spilled on the ground, and the hot soup splashed on his upper, he jumped up suddenly, and his knee almost knocked down the boiler, so startled that Bai Tang took a step back, and couldn't stop inhaling and laughing.

In the chaos, Bai Tang smiled at him and said: "Don't be in a hurry, don't be in a hurry, once you are born, and you are familiar twice." ”

The stall took the initiative to stiffen and said with a smile: "Lian Gongzi's eyes are really sharp." It's the first time I've come out to set up a stall! ”

Bai Tang said no wonder. Then he looked at him with a smile: "Huh." How do you know my surname is Lian? ”

The stall owner was stunned for a moment, opened his mouth slightly and stared at Bai Tang Taohua for a moment, and then came back to his senses and said: "No, what, Lian Gongzi, you have become famous recently, who doesn't know who doesn't know in Nanjing City?" The engraving and printing of Songzhu Zhai is a must in Nanjing! ”

Bai Tang showed such an expression and said with a smile: "I have won awards." After a pause, he said meaningfully, "I see that you are very eloquent and eloquent, and I really wronged you to do this street snack business." ”

The stall owner tugged at the corners of his mouth and said dryly: "Where, this is all livelihood, livelihood." After speaking, he hurriedly handed him the bowl of soup.

Bai Tang glanced at the simple tables and chairs beside him, didn't say anything, took the bowl with a smile, and sat down by himself. A few bites solved the duck soup, leaving a sentence "If this business can't be done, you can go to Songzhu Zhai to find me." In my shop, there is a lack of a little guy like you who is articulate and good at change."

After the stall owner waited for him to enter Songzhuzhai to cover the door, his taut back beam instantly relaxed, kicked on the stove, and cursed hatefully in his mouth: "MD! I've never let people laugh at and bully like this, sir! Lian Baitang, you wait and see! ”

I also know in my heart that nine out of ten of my disguises have been recognized. In shame, he pulled down the old shirt that had been washed and washed, threw it away, and threw it away.

After a while, several figures appeared to clean up the aftermath for him.

"Third Master, why bother?"

"The third master thinks that we have been following for so long and there is no news, so I am anxious."

"Alas, you say, follow Lian Baitang, can you really find Xu Danling?"

"Do you have any other ideas?"

There was silence for a while.

"Don't let the third master go out again. He's not ashamed, but we're shameless. ”

"Not really!"

"By the way, you said that the people who followed Baitang during the day were sent by whom?"

"No matter who it is, I guess it's also going for Xu Danling!"

"Alas, this surname is Xu, the dragon can't see its tail, it's really a TMD demon!"
