Soon the women and men acted in groups. Immediately came the news that the servants were actively weaving and working hard to catch fish, and Duan Ling'er took the roster of tenants to check it again, and memorized the places where they lived one by one.

After reading it for a while, he instructed An Niang again: "Wen Niang still needs to prepare for a few days, Nanny, you and Ruyi don't have to worry about other things, these few days only need to give me a clear picture of the cups, saucers, tea utensils, wine and rice utensils, as well as lamp oil and candles everywhere in the Zhuangzi warehouse, and then record all the tables and chairs, phlegm boxes, dusters, grass and trees, whether new or old." In addition, you should also pay attention to staring, whether there are lazy, gambling money, eating and drinking, fighting and bickering, now there is a rule in the Zhuangzi, and those who want to repay things will come to report from time to time."

An Niang and Ruyi nodded immediately, and the two took the key to the warehouse and the booklet, turned around and went out.

The two of them are also always neat, and soon put those small to oil candles, mattresses, felt mats, sputum boxes, foot pedals, feather dusters, brooms, large table surrounds, chairs, willow and locust trees are all put to the pen to register, Geng Dabao fully exerted his talents, every day with millet corn corn residue and other fried all kinds of fine porridge, try to make exquisite side dishes, every day to send to the master.

Duan Ling'er and Shen are not afraid of hard work, they get up every day, and everything is in order.

On this day, Geng Dabao came back from the market, couldn't hide his happiness, and said to Lan Niang: "Mother, I know good news today, the person who sold our teeth was arrested." ”

Lan Niang was painting embroidery patterns, raised her head and even dropped the pen in her hand on the table: "Caught it?" Monkey caught? ”

Geng Dabao nodded vigorously: "Isn't it a monkey, I saw him arrested by Yangzhou City in the market today, and it is said that he was involved in a case, that is, the original rumored disappearance of a businessman." Mother, I've seen that catcher, it's a very handsome boy, he asked me about it a few days ago, it turned out to be to catch monkeys. ”

Lan Niang hugged her palms: "Thank God, God opened your eyes." ”

"The disappearance of Shang Jia?" Duan Ling'er walked out of the inner room, and Lan Niang hurriedly said: "The master is helping me choose an embroidery sample, I was happy just now, and I forgot about the master, the slave and maid should die." ”

Duan Ling'er sat down at the Eight Immortals table, and Tuanzi meowed in from outside and jumped onto her knees.

Duan Ling'er hugged the ball, touched its round head, and asked with a calm face, "Is that a young man with outstanding appearance and a kind attitude?" What did he ask you the other day? ”

Seeing that his master was interested, Geng Dabao hurriedly told him about the thank-you speech he had met at the market a few days ago.

Duan Ling'er looked at the blue jade fish-shaped bracelet with light waves flowing on her wrist and thought for a moment.

patted the danzi, and the danzi reluctantly jumped off her knee and went outside to continue playing with butterflies.

Duan Ling'er returned to her room and changed into a light outfit, and called Ruyi, Ruyi quickly came out of the backyard, her hair was combed to the slightest, and she patted the soil on her body: "Master? ”

Duan Ling'er glanced at the sun and said, "Prepare the carriage and follow me back to Yangzhou City." ”

"Ling'er, what are you going to do?" Shen came out of the house, there has been a lot of income in selling anchovy, crucian carp and river shrimp in the past few days, Shen's whole popularity seems to be much better, she heard that her daughter is going back to Yangzhou, and she can't help but worry: "Are you going back to the house?" It's better to be with you for your mother, if you go back like this, if the eldest lady and the sixth aunt give you ...... anger"

Duan Ling'er shook her head: "Mother, I won't go back to Duan's Mansion, I'm going to find a friend, don't worry." I'll be back before the sun goes down. ”

Shen hesitated for a moment, but he was still not at ease: "Ling'er, are you going to stand up for those tenants?" This matter still needs to be considered in the long run. ”

In the past few days, Duan Ling'er and the Shen family have also visited many tenants as ordinary merchants, and they have not yet revealed their true identities, and they have also obtained a lot of facts about how Su Lao Er bullied tenants and bullied others.

The Shen family saw that those tenants were pitiful, and wanted to give them some compensation for the silver they had earned in the past few days, but for some reason Duan Ling'er stopped her from doing so, and now that her daughter was going back to the city alone, the Shen family was a little uncertain.

But she also knew that her daughter was not very old, but her idea was very big, and if she was not allowed, she would not count.

Fortunately, Ruyi is a kung fu person, so you don't have to worry too much.

He nodded and told him to pay more attention and come back early.

Duan Ling'er was about to go out, turned back, entered Geng Liang's house, and said to Lan Niang, who was doing the work: "Lan Niang, give me the best embroidery purse you have made these days." ”

Lan Niang hurriedly took out a purse and handed it to Duan Ling'er with both hands.

Duan Ling'er put the purse on her waist: "Lan Niang, you are ready, soon the demand for this purse will increase all of a sudden, and these days I will take the mother-in-law to embroider more like this." ”

After Duan Ling'er finished speaking, she left with Ruyi.

Duan Ling'er went straight to the teaching field of thanks.

It was noon at this time, and Xie Ci had just caught the man nicknamed "Monkey" in the suburban market in the morning, and he ate some food casually, and after resting for a while, he practiced his sword in the training ground.

While dancing the sword, he thought about how to make the man's teeth speak smoothly in the afternoon.

Xie Ci waved a wooden sword on the left and right and waved it into a fight, the wooden swords collided with each other, and the sound of impact was sometimes dense like a bead, continuous, and sometimes there was only the sound of breaking the wind, and the sound of brushing was made.

Xie Ci's feet are like the wind, the wooden sword is slashed down from the upper left, and then the wrist shakes the sword obliquely, and the sword is stabbed out to the right, the wind brush is steady, and the resolute and fierce offensive consciousness runs through, these two wooden swords sometimes attack and kill each other, and sometimes resist the enemy at the same time, which is dazzling.

Xie Ci practiced the wooden sword for a while, stopped, put the two wooden swords back into the barrel, wiped the sweat, and picked up another gun and danced.

I saw him jump up with his feet in the air, and the red tassel spear stabbed out, breaking through the air, stabbing the sand on the ground, and then the sand was raised, and the red tassel spear stabbed into the air again.

Suddenly, I heard a few applause.

Xie Ci stopped, gasped slightly, and turned back.

I saw Duan Ling'er standing on the edge of the teaching field.

Duan Ling'er was wearing an ordinary water-green shirt, with an extremely light yellow cloth skirt, and a pair of embroidered shoes embroidered with a few small green bamboos, purely dressed as an innocent little girl.

On Duan Ling'er's side, there were two colleagues who had long been stunned by Xie Ci, they stared at Duan Ling'er intently, provoking Ruyi on the side to force their anger, so they couldn't help but scold them immediately.

"Miss Duan?" Xie Ci was stunned and walked over: "Why did you come here?" ”

"Exactly what I was looking for you." Duan Ling'er raised the corners of her mouth: "I have something to ask for." ”

This smile made the two people next to him laugh and scold themselves angrily in their hearts, but the person in front of them was just a ninety-year-old child and girl, and he looked too ungentlemanly.

So the two of them scolded themselves and fell to the side, watching Xie Ci and Duan Ling'er pass by themselves while talking.

Ruyi turned around and gave them a big look.

The two of them looked at each other: thank you for this kid is too blessed!!!

Xie Ci didn't know that his colleagues envied him, he was a little puzzled, and frowned slightly: "I heard that you went to your Duanfu's grange with your mother and brother, and it will take a while to come back, why did you come to me today?" Is there anything you need me to help with? ”

Duan Ling'er smiled prettyly: "I want to ask to see Song Yan and Song Gongzi, but I am a girl's family, it is not convenient to go directly to him, thinking that you are familiar with him, the concierge of Song Mansion should not be lazy, so I want you to help me go to Song Mansion to deliver a word." ”

Xie Ci's face suddenly turned white: "Song Yan? What are you looking for him......"

When the words came out, he felt inappropriate, and immediately changed his words: "It's okay, I'll help you call him out." ”

The two walked towards the Song Mansion while talking, only to see the willows and green silk smoke all over the street, and between the green tiles and white walls, the water waves were clear, reflecting the blue sky of the same color.

The two walked side by side, surrounded by people, the sound of lively hawkers, birds, and children chasing and playing...... For some reason, the sound came into my ears, but I felt that when it came to my ears, those sounds became smaller.

Only the footsteps of the person beside him.

"You're so good at kung fu." Duan Ling'er did not hesitate to praise: "That merchant is missing, but there is a clue?" ”

Duan Ling'er's volume was not loud, and his tone was very vivid, Xie Ci almost didn't dare to look at her side, he was a teenager who was easily shy in front of women, and Duan Ling'er made the left part of his chest hot.

He didn't know why, so he had to think that it was because Duan Ling'er was the person in the dream.

Xie Ci stared at the bluestone slab floor tiles in the distance: "It's a bit eyebrow-raising, but there are still a lot of clues that can't be strung together." How are you doing at a grange in the suburbs? ”

"Okay." Duan Ling'er smiled: "When I come back, I still want you to take me to the Embroidery Spring Pavilion again, no, next time I have to go to other workshops, I have to see and learn." ”

Xie Ci laughed out loud: "You are a girl's house, what are you going to do in those places, I don't usually go to ......"

At this point, the speech suddenly stopped, and the atmosphere was a little delicate.

Duan Ling'er turned his face, looked at Xie Ci's obsidian-like eyes, and pointed to his wrist: "Actually, there are two things today, looking for Song Yan is one of them, and the other is that this bracelet is too valuable, I want to return it to you." ”

Xie Ci looked at the thick green that was ringing on the snow-white wrist.

This bracelet was the only decent jewelry from his grandmother, and the last time Duan Ling'er broke the jade bracelet, he found it and gave it to her.

Xie Ci always felt that he took Duan Ling'er to the Embroidery Spring Pavilion, but he didn't protect her, and it was natural to compensate for a jade bracelet.

There was another reason that he didn't say.

Xie Ci thought about the reason, there was a burst of red on the back of his ears, and he hurriedly said: "No, it's not a valuable thing, I don't have a good one there, I hurt you to drop the bracelet last time, this will be compensated to you, you wear it...... It looks good to wear, you wear it! ”

Duan Ling'er felt a little strange in her heart, it seemed that he didn't know the preciousness of this bracelet now, but the more she did this, the more she couldn't ask for it, so she had to take it off and return it to him.

Xie Ci pressed her hand, and immediately let go again: "If I give it to you, you will wear it, don't take it...... Good no good? ”

Duan Ling'er's pale face was stunned in the air, and the eyes in front of her were full of sunshine looking at her.

Xie Ci was a little at a loss, how could he say it, in the dream, he saw that she was older, and she was originally wearing this green jade fish-shaped bracelet.

This jade bracelet, as if it itself, should be yours.

Xie Ci lowered his head, looked at Duan Ling'er's face, looked at the snow white, the glass color, and the cherry red.
