At that moment, Zhang Wenxin disguised, the little couple and Murong Yanchang sat in two carriages, and ordered more than a dozen people who looked like Zhou Zheng and were tall, all changed into shiny nursing home costumes, went out through the back door, and walked up with a swagger.

Murong Yanchang put his arm on the box, looked down at himself, and then thought about Murong Xi and Zhang Wenxin in the car in front of him, shook his head and complained: What do you look like here?

The high-end route taken by Baoyue Tower, since its opening, it is rare to see such a pompous big man. Welcoming guests outside the door is a sight, just looking at these entourages in brocade clothes, you also know that the master in the car is either rich or expensive. At the moment, he didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly invited people in.

The old mother came over with a spring breeze on her face and greeted: "Masters, please take a seat......"

Zhang Wenxin folded the fan in his hand, stopped her, turned the tip of the fan back, and gently picked up the mahogany box in the hand of the attendant: "Mom is not busy, tonight Miss Mingyue, I will wrap it." ”

A box full of yellow and clear shines.

Sweeping back, there are more than a dozen of them holding the same box!

Just as he was surprised, he saw Zhang Wenxin pick up another box, and the golden light in the hall was shining, almost dazzling.

It's true that Mingyue is the Oiran of Baoyue Tower, but in fact, not many people really patronize her. It's just a gimmick to sensationalize and attract popularity. Who knew that in the capital, not only is there really such a playboy who spends a lot of money, but today, there is also a more arrogant loser.

The old mother's eyes straightened, swallowed her saliva, and personally led the person upstairs to settle down.

Murong Yanchang and Murong Xi stayed in the hall and waited, because they knew that they were all the entourage of the young high-roller just now, and these women were polite and did not dare to make a mistake.

The boudoir of the bright moon is open and bright, divided into two parts by a screen, and the piano, chess, calligraphy and painting are all complete. Zhang Wenxin has been in the market since he was a child, and he has seen all kinds of pomp and circumstance in the song building. I didn't walk around at the moment, but I sat at the table for a while, and then I saw a girl with a flying fairy bun walking over from behind the screen.

The maid burned incense, made tea, and withdrew.

The incense mist curls and spirals upward.

The bright moon is full of blessings, and the eye waves flow with thousands of styles: "Son, Wanfu, the bright moon is polite." I don't know what kind of tunes Childe likes to listen to. Is it good for Mingyue to play a song for her son? ”

Zhang Wenxin got up and returned the salute: "Miss Mingyue, I came here today, not to listen to the music, but to ask for something." If there is anything abrupt, I hope the girl will forgive her sins. ”

Mingyue only heard that today's guest was young and frivolous, and he was also wealthy, but he didn't expect to be so polite, so he hurriedly invited him to sit down and talk in detail.

Zhang Wenxin rendered the night pearl, but only when it came to the tribute of Fanbang, the first emperor couldn't put it down, so he didn't talk about it anymore.

Mingyue Huarong was startled, and looked at Zhang Wenxin again: "That bead is flowing from the palace, are you ...... The people in the palace? ”

Concealing part of the truth is a helpless move.

Zhang Wenxin didn't want to lie to her, so he only picked up the important thing and said: "It's an object in the palace, and it's also to blame me for not doing things well, so that the beads have a mistake, and it also affects the girl, which is really a sin." If the girl can give up the pearl, she will be rewarded with a lot of money for saving her life. ”

Although the night pearl is good, the best goods are worth hundreds of taels of gold. The holy relics in the palace are naturally priceless, but buying and selling holy relics is a sin of killing the head. It's better to be a favor and return it to him. He saved the lives of others, but also his own.

Mingyue thought about it for a while, and immediately said happily: "The beads are still in the little girl's hand, father-in-law wait a minute, Mingyue will take it." ”

Zhang asked Xinden and choked up, and said in his heart, why am I a eunuch, can't I be a master of the inner world?

The beads were taken, Zhang Wenxin temporarily extinguished the candle, and the room was suddenly filled with a clear light. Zhang Wenxin shuddered: no one told her before that this night pearl was as bright as the full moon and as cold as ice.

Murong Qi didn't take anything, but he took this, and his taste was really not ordinarily high.

After settling down, he unfolded a handkerchief-sized red silk, hung the beads above the red silk, gently rotated, adjusted the angle, and sure enough, the word "loyalty" was slowly reflected.

Mingyue was dumbfounded, but Zhang Wenxin breathed a sigh of relief and said, "That's it." The girl is very kind and virtuous, and she will be rewarded with a thousand gold, and she will never forget it. ”

Zhang Wenxin quickly came downstairs, and the old mother hurriedly stepped forward for some reason: "Oh, son, but what are your orders?" ”

Zhang Wenxin greeted his entourage: "The gold stays, let's go." ”

Seeing that the old mother was salivating to take over, she added: "These are all for Miss Mingyue." ”

The old bustard didn't raise his head: "Understand, the old body must be handed over on behalf of the old body, and no one will be missing......"

According to the battle they had come, the men and horses began to hurry back. At night, there were few pedestrians, and when they got out of Yongle Fang, the horse's hooves trotted briskly, and they returned to the Hou Mansion after a while.

Murong Yanchang was worried all the way, and when he got out of the carriage at this time, he withdrew his entourage, and couldn't wait to say, "Can you get the beads back?" ”

Zhang Wenxin presented a small box: "Return to Zhao after completion." Dad, you promised me to find the beads, and I can leave the house at any time in the future. ”

Murong Yanchang snorted perfunctorily and took out the beads to take a closer look.

When Pang Zi heard that the person was back, he also hurriedly came with a lantern, and when he saw that his treasure had finally been found, he finally breathed a sigh of relief, and returned to Wutong Courtyard with Murong Yanchang, discussing with each other where to hide the Night Pearl.

The night was dark, the breeze was still on, Su Qiu was napping under the lamp, and when she saw the two of them coming back, she was busy heating up the meal.

Zhang Wenxin took a bite of food, thinking that although Murong Xi and Guo Wanting were no longer possible, Miss Mingyue's talent and appearance were extremely compatible with him. It's a pity that his family will never allow him to marry a dusty woman, and he regrets it for a while: "Mingyue girl is proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, gentle and elegant, and empathetic, and she really deserves her reputation." You should really go up and have a look. ”

Murong Xi was speechless.

Zhang Wenxin looked at this person with a puzzled look, shook his head and sighed: "Ten years in Hedong, ten years in Hexi." Ten years ago, the drunken building in the east of Yongle Fang was also like today's Baoyue Building, with a lot of traffic and a city. Have you ever heard of Golden Peony? I'm guessing you haven't heard of it, ten years ago, Sister Peony was the Oiran of Yongle Fang. Wuling is young and entangled, and I don't know how many red silk songs are played. It's a pity you haven't seen ......."

Murong Xi took a sip of tea lightly and said leisurely: "It seems that I have really missed a lot for my husband." ”

Zhang Wenxin patted him on the shoulder: "Don't be afraid, it's still too late to remedy." There are so many things to do in the capital. I can go out at any time in the future, and the days are very long, so I'll take you there. ”

Murong Xi smiled lightly: "You could have gone out at any time, and you didn't need to explain to anyone." If anyone is looking for trouble with you, let him come to me. ”

"Huh?"

Zhang Wenxin almost choked in one breath: "Why didn't you say it earlier?" If I had said it earlier, I would have ......."

You can also take the opportunity to knock on a stroke. However, this idea was only fleeting, and it was immediately vetoed by Zhang Wenxin. First, she goes out every day, and every time she makes people find trouble with Murong Xi, it's very troublesome, and it's better to have more than less. Second, Murong Yanchang is definitely not a person who can be recognized so easily, this time he knocked him, he will definitely ask for it elsewhere.

So she temporarily changed her words: "There is nothing bad about this now, most of the thousands of disasters in the world are caused by coveting things that do not belong to them." It's not your own, it's better to take less. ”

Murong Xi looked at her, and infinite pity appeared in his eyes: "It's not your own, so naturally you don't take a penny." But what if it's your own? If you miss it, I'm afraid that you will regret it for the rest of your life. There are some things that you must not let go. ”

Zhang Wenxin's face turned red when he saw it, and his heartbeat suddenly became chaotic for no reason. Hurriedly turned his head away, and his eyes fell on the dancing candle flame. Murong Xi's words were not very clear, Zhang Wenxin was confused, but he didn't want to be cold, so he said: "Don't rob other people's things, and you can't let others rob your own things." You're right. ”

The dream is long and the night is short, and in the morning, Zhang Wenxin was awakened by the noise outside. Turning over and taking a look, he saw that Murong Xi was already dressed neatly, so he quickly got up, grabbed his clothes and put them on his body.

"What's going on out there?"

Su Qiu just went out to investigate, and as soon as she entered the door at this time, she heard her ask, and hurriedly replied: "Childe, young lady, it was the body found in the lake in the back garden, Mama Zou...... Drowned. ”

Su Qiu was too timid to go, so Zhang Wenxin took Murong Xi with him and went to the back garden.

The garden is stacked into a mountain, a lake is built and water is stored, there are no towering trees, only a variety of strange flowers and plants are planted all over, and the flowers, trees and fruit trees that are more than one person tall are pruned just right. It's just that the lake is difficult to take care of and a little muddy.

Zou's mother's body had been dragged to the shore, wet, white and swollen in the water. Pang Zi had arrived one step earlier, pinching a handkerchief sadly. The maids present all lowered their heads and stood in a circle from a distance, not daring to rush forward to persuade them.

As soon as Pang Shi saw Zhang Wenxin and Murong Xi coming, he instantly put away his sorrow with a pale face, and the yin and yang became angry: "The eldest prince, the young lady, Mama Zou threw herself into the lake and died, are you satisfied?" ”

Murong Xi glanced at the corpse from afar: "Mother Zou is dead, and no one in the mansion is embarrassed and shocked." My wife and I asked ourselves if we had ever been mean to her old man, and I wondered why my stepmother said this? ”

Pang Zi's willow eyebrows were raised, and the beads on his hair were trembling with his teeth and claws: "What a good one who has never been mean!" Mama Zou told me that day that she went to Qingfeng Ju to ask about the carriage, but she didn't expect to be scolded by the two of you. You guys...... You actually forced her to throw a defenseless old man into the lake for such a trivial matter! Now that the person is dead, and you are lying in front of her, you are not afraid that Zou Ma will know under the spring, and she will not be blind to death! ”

Zhang Wenxin looked at the cloth shoes on Zou's mother's feet and shook his head: "Stepmother, Zou's mother did not fall into the water, nor was she invited to be pushed into the lake. Rather, they were killed elsewhere, or knocked unconscious, and dragged over. ”

Pang Zi has lost his right-hand man, and he is resentful of who bites whom. As soon as he heard this, he immediately pointed the finger at Zhang Wenxin: "How do you know that Mama Zou was killed elsewhere?" It's your ......."
