Chapter 451: Affiliation
Liu Yan felt vaguely understood what he meant.
Lu Yi saw that she was interested in this, and explained it to her carefully.
"I first searched for the old servant of this old family, as well as his brother and son, and asked him what kind of character he was. This man is very cautious, cautious a little too much, listen to the old servant of his family said, in the past when he was still alive, every night before going to bed, he had to personally check the large and small doors in the house, especially the front and back doors, he had to lock it with his own hands, and after the lock was dropped, he had to pull and shake it a few times, to make sure that the lock was tight, so that he could go to sleep, otherwise he would not want to sleep this night. β
Liu Yan was happy: "This person is really careful enough." β
"When the situation is good, it's okay, but when the situation is gradually not peaceful, he is like a frightened bird every day, always by the pillow, next to the bed with spare sharp weapons, or knives, or axes, even if the family later persuaded him not to do this, he has to press the scissors under the pillow."
Okay...... This man is timid enough, no wonder he hid his belongings early on.
"So, do you think that a person with such a character would feel free to hide his life savings and heirlooms far away?"
Liu Yan shook his head: "That shouldn't be." β
Hiding in the distance, this man is afraid that he will go to see it once a day, and he will not sleep all night but think about the treasure he has hidden.
"I also asked him about an old concubine living in his family, if he had any strange habits during the two years he was alive, if he often went out to where he went, and surveyed the terrain in their current new house, old house, and ancestral hall, and the treasure was hidden in their old houseβhe also died in the old house."
"Where is that hiding?"
"Right under the two bluestone steps in front of the door of his bedroom." Lu Yi gestured: "I used a triple box, wrapped in oiled paper, padded lime, and buried it very finely, so that the moisture can't get in, and the insects can't bite it, even if it's on fire, the stone slab and the iron box can be blocked for a while, at least the gold and silver inside can't be burned." β
Liu Yan is really breathtaking.
"It's a shame that he can figure it out. Buried at the door of the bedroom, it is equivalent to guarding the baby every day and night, even if others know, it is difficult to steal it. Liu Yan asked excitedly: "Then you found the treasure for them, did they give you any thanks?" β
Lu Yi shook his head with a smile.
"Well, you didn't ask for it?"
With Lu Yi's usual temperament, he really won't take gold, silver and property to heart.
"No, they didn't plan to give it to me." Lu Yi said: "When they didn't find the treasure, their family really worked together, and it seemed that brothers, uncles, nephews, and sisters were very close. But as soon as they found the treasure, they immediately beware of me, I hate you, intrigues, you fight for me, and make a lot of trouble. β
"Ah......" Liu Yan blinked: "So you were crossed by someone and the bridge was demolished?" β
Lu Yi spread his hands: "Isn't it, from the beginning to the end, I only drank two teas at their house, and I didn't even entertain a meal, let alone see a penny of thanks." However, the friend who asked me for help in the middle was very reluctant to go, and had to ask me to drink to make amends. β
"It's not his fault to make amends, as long as he doesn't introduce such a forgetful person to you next time."
Lu Yi smiled: "The princess is right." β
However, Liu Yan also knew that this matter was not easy.
Because...... Sometimes people's character can not be distinguished as soon as they meet, and they may even be friends for a few years, or they may not be able to really recognize a person for more than ten years. Just like the family that Lu Yi just said, the family looked quite harmonious before they found the treasure, but once the treasure was found, their true character could not be hidden. Before the critical moment, who knows who has a heart.
"But this time I went out and bought a courtyard, the place is good, but the house is a little old and needs to be renovated."
"A separate courtyard? Where? Is the place big? β
"There are about 180 acres of land, the place is a bit deserted, on the side of Nanfu Mountain, by the mountains and rivers, very quiet. There is a lake in front of Zhuangzi and a forest behind you for hunting. There is also a temple in the middle of the mountain, which is also very dilapidated, and the incense has long been cut off. β
Liu Yan thought for a while: "Is it called Fangyuan Temple?" β
"Exactly, the princess has been?"
"No," Liu Yan shook his head: "I've heard people say that it's a temple that has long been abandoned. β
"In the previous dynasty, there were many temples inside and outside the capital, and there were 80 temples if there were not 100, but later, a lot of them were abandoned. If the princess is interested, she can go and see it when she has free time. β
What's so beautiful about the broken temple - and Liu Yan actually doesn't like to go into the temple to burn incense, and she can't tell why.
You don't have to look at the temple, but Lu Yi said that this Zhuangzi Liu Yan is a little yearning.
"I plan to hire some people to speed up the tidying up, and when the repair is completed, I will post a post to invite two or three friends to relax." Although Lu Yi talked about two or three friends, his eyes stayed on Liu Yan's body.
There is no need to ask, his second or third friends are only afraid that the fourth prince, Liu Yan and their brothers and sisters have not run away, at most there is another person like Zhao Lei and Cao Zhongyan, who are close to them.
"Hmm...... If it's a long way, I'm afraid I won't be able to go. β
Her father and mother wouldn't let her spend the night outside the city.
Lu Yi didn't care, and said with a smile: "Don't worry, there will always be a chance." β
They talked in the house, and Guiyuan, who was guarding the doorway, could not hear unless he was deaf. But Judge Lu didn't enter the house, and the princess was separated by the window, what could Gui Yuan do? I had to wait.
But I didn't expect that the princess and Lu Shenju would be so close to each other, and they spoke very warmly, and they were not cold at all one sentence after another.
I don't usually see the princess and others have such things to say.
However, seeing that the time is not early, Gui Yuan has to be a villain again.
She coughed and asked softly through the door, "Is the princess awake?" The slaves and maidservants serve the princess to dress and change clothes, right? It's not early, I'm afraid that the emperor and the mother are about to drive back to the palace. β
As soon as she reminded her, Liu Yan remembered to look at the sky.
"Ouch, it's not too early." Liu Yan didn't care about talking to Lu Yi anymore, and hurriedly said goodbye: "Then see you next time, and you can tell me about your thief next time." β
Lu Yi nodded in response, and said: "The weather has been hot and cold recently, so the princess should take care of his jade body." β
"I know," after a pause, Liu Yan said to him, "You too." β
Gui Yuan and the others came in to fetch the servants, all of them did not squint, and their expressions could not be more serious, as if no one had come just now, and they had not heard anything.
