Bright eyes, moth eyebrows and bright teeth, wearing a cotton coat woven by flowing Shu brocade, although it is not rich and gorgeous, but it also makes him can't help it.

His gaze passed over the inky sideburns, swept over the lifelike hairpins, and finally fell on Xu Chu's face that bit his lower lip.

The two of them looked at each other without moving, one of them was so nervous that he even breathed tightly, and he wanted to change out of such a costume as soon as possible. It's really awkward to dress up like this, but it can't make her ignore a trace of expectation in her heart. The other was amazed and reluctant to look away.

Suddenly, Xu Chu's mind flashed Xiao Mingzhu's sentence just now, "Women are those who please themselves"!

At this time, no matter what the situation was between the two of them, Xiao Mingzhu, who was excited, dragged Xu Chu and ran out of the door. Then he came to Xiao Qinglang's side like a treasure and said, "Third uncle, Sister Chu's makeup is beautiful." ”

The sun is gradually rising, and the leaky halo shines on the frozen earth, which actually makes this big year a little warmer.

Xiao Qinglang's eyes were rolling with feelings that others couldn't understand, and his eyes were full of Xu Chu's shyness when he lowered his head. After a moment, he forcibly restrained his emotions and looked away slightly, but even so, her appearance still flashed in his mind.

Since he saw Xu Chu for the first time, he had never seen her dressed up like this, and people who have always been plain face can be so beautiful. So much so that he almost lost his normality.

After knowing each other for a few months, he has seen her solemn expression in the autopsy, her rigorous appearance when she pushes the case, her naïve appearance after she is sick, and her delicate appearance when she jokes and laughs with himself when she is temporarily identified. Even, last night I saw her coquettish appearance of confiding in her heart after being drunk. He thought that she had brought him enough palpitations and joy, but he didn't want to see her so beautiful and moving today.

Thinking of this, he subconsciously looked at Xu Chu again.

The two of them are separated by a threshold, on either side of the boundary between light and dark.

He just looked at her like that, with a thin and fragrant face, blooming like a peach blossom in March, extremely moving.

Somehow, he, who has always been pure-hearted, suddenly wanted to see her laughing wantonly. It's probably because the two people are too close in temperament, and they never thought that a calm and calm introverted woman would have such a fresh time. Now I suddenly saw her brilliant and dazzling side, and then I was even more greedy in my heart.

He was silent, his eyes burning, and the curvature of his mouth became more and more gentle. It wasn't until he saw Xu Chu pursing his lips and looking nervous that he smiled and bowed his head, "Naturally, it's good." ”

But I don't know if the sound is good, whether it is for Xu Churuhua's delicate face, or for Xiao Mingzhu's craftsmanship.

When his words fell, he saw Xiao Mingzhu's satisfied eyebrows and smile. He didn't wait for his niece to say anything, and said directly: "A quarter of an hour ago, Hua Wu entered Yunan County without illness, and I think it won't take him a quarter of an hour at most if he wants to find it." After speaking, he glanced at his niece, raised his eyebrows, and said, "Are you sure you don't need to freshen up?" ”

As soon as Xiao Mingzhu heard that Hua Wuzhi was coming, she immediately wailed, and then ran to the inner room with the corner of her skirt that she had not changed yesterday. During the Chinese New Year, the flower peacock didn't stay in the capital, so how could it run to Yunan County.

At this time, she naturally didn't know how Xiao Qinglang pretended to be a public servant for the first time, and sent the letter to Prime Minister Hua through a channel that others did not know. How did he speak righteously, and deceived Prime Minister Hua Cheng into letting his sister-in-law out of Beijing.

"If it's cleaned up, let's go to the front hall first, Lord Zhang has been waiting for a long time." Xiao Qinglang looked at Xu Chu, whose eyes were wandering, and said, "It's probably for the Liu family's case." ”

Xu Chu frowned slightly, and said suspiciously: "Isn't the Liu family's case closed?" At this time, he should write an official document and send it to the Criminal Department. ”

Even if there are any issues that are difficult to decide, they should be presented to King Jing'an by the Ministry of Punishment. Of course, she believed that the official documents sent to the palace by the Criminal Department would be sent to him through the unique channels of the Jing'an Palace.

Xiao Qinglang couldn't help but chuckle when he saw her hesitation, "Even if the case has been closed, he should have come to thank you, or send the reward." ”

Of course, he didn't mention what Zhang Youwei said about redeeming Xu Chu. Originally, the relationship between the two of them was not the master-servant relationship that outsiders saw, and it would be ugly for the two of them to be forced to mention.

Xu Chu nodded, sighed, and said, "After being by the side of Gongzi for a long time, I will forget that I originally ate with the reward silver." ”

Zhang Youwei is the county magistrate of a county, and he has family members to follow, so the entertainment in the first year of junior high school is naturally very small. So he only exchanged a few words of greeting, and then offered the official reward silver, and then left the mansion full of confusion.

It's not that he doesn't want to dig into the corner of this Zhou Gongzi, but in fact, just looking at Miss Chu's outfit, it is worth how many years he has been served. If you really mention redemption, I am afraid that I may not be able to get what I want if I scatter all my wealth.

Besides, he is not blind, let alone a hairy guy who doesn't know anything. The relationship between the two is probably not so simple. A noble son indulges his personal maid without any restraint, how can he look like he is to his own wife.

After thinking about it like this, he no longer knew how to mention his previous words, so as not to be slapped in the face.

Now only Xiao Qinglang, who is quietly drinking tea, and Xu Chu, who is counting the broken silver, are left in the hall.

Naturally, Xiao Qinglang is still calm and clear, and there is nothing abnormal. But Xu Chu secretly glanced at him from time to time, his face was full of confusion, and he asked in a chirp after a while: "Childe, what did I trespass last night?" ”

finally mentioned last night's incident, and Xiao Qinglang couldn't help but laugh in his heart. He raised his eyebrows and asked meaninglessly, "Which thing are you talking about?" ”

The tail note was slightly raised, which made Xu Chu chuckle in his heart. Immediately, she became annoyed, how much alcohol did she drink yesterday, and did she do many embarrassing things?

She glanced at Xiao Qinglang quietly, and saw that he squinted slightly, his face did not change, as if he was careless. But the corners of her lips were slightly hooked, and she looked at it with a little interest, and she was so frightened that she immediately didn't dare to ask again.

Xu Chu muttered in his heart, he has always been cautious, even in his sleep, he will remain calm. So much so that many times, others will seem to be dreams but not dreams, and she can quickly distinguish the difference between dreams and reality when she falls into dreams. So, logically speaking, you shouldn't be crazy about drinking.

Thinking about it like this, she thought about it, hesitated and pursed her lips and said to herself: "Childe, my wine shouldn't be very bad......

Xiao Qinglang took the tea and took a sip slowly. When he heard Xu Chu find comfort for himself like this, he simply glanced at it, and then smiled lightly and was noncommittal.

"You've been drunk before?"

"Nope!" Xu Chu was still full of expectations, but when Xiao Qinglang asked like this, his voice was completely dumb.

She used to have a few sips with her father at most during the New Year's Festival, and she drank very low degree of purified grain wine that was not good, so she couldn't say that she was drunk or not.

At this time, her eyes glanced at Wei Guang, and saw that Wei Guang's face was faintly red and black, and her eyes looked at her with a bit of sympathy and excitement. Immediately, she felt that she probably had really done something, maybe she was really drunk.

Thinking of this, she hurriedly coughed lightly, and did not count the broken silver in her heart, but hurriedly swept the broken silver into her purse, and then hurriedly forcibly changed the topic.

"The unburned gold beads and those southern beads in the pink relics found in Liu's house that day can be found?"

Xiao Qinglang saw that she was so deliberate, but she didn't expose it, so she simply followed her words and said, "I have already sent someone to Liangguang, and it is estimated that I will not be able to get a reply in the first month." ”

Although Nanzhu is rare, it is not rare. But gold beads are different, if someone really dives pearls and picks gold beads, it is absolutely impossible not to reveal a trace of wind. What he has to do is to find out who took those Nanzhu and Jinzhu and how they got to Liu Wengui's house.

was able to stop the tribute before the imperial court, but I was afraid that the power of that person was far more complicated than he had imagined before.

Xu Chu saw that Xiao Qinglang's eyes suddenly became a little sharp, and his face gradually sank, he lowered his eyes slightly and thought for a moment, frowned and said: "I used to like to read some barnyard official history, and I once remembered that there were three anecdotes that were very interesting. ”

One said that Gaozong summoned a minister, and because it was early, he asked him if he had eaten. The minister replied that his family was poor, so he only ate eggs. At that time, Gaozong was stunned and said, "One egg costs ten gold, and four eggs cost forty gold." I still don't dare to indulge in such desires, but Qing is saying that he is poor? ’！ ”

"The other person is Dezong who asked Uncle Weng Pingxiangguo and said: 'The food is excellent, what does the master eat?' Weng used eggs to pair, and the emperor was deeply surprised. If you cover the imperial meal, if you enter the eggs, each piece must be four taels of silver, and it is not often royal. The last one, probably the same, said that buying in the palace will fill their pockets, so that the nobles in the palace mistakenly think that things are precious and scarce. There is also a saying in the market that the people who buy in the palace are worried that the nobles will ask for something that is impossible in the season on a whim, so they often lie......"

Xiao Qinglang is such a keen person, he naturally knows the meaning of her words. So he shook his head and said: "The palace is quite cautious about various financial expenditures, and even more so, there is a certain limit. More importantly, it is not ignorant of what is in the market today, and the governor of the Inner Court may be corrupt, but it is impossible for him to be so unrestrained. And the inner court is not an illegal place, and there are institutions with the same ability as the three law divisions in it, and the management is more stringent because it involves matters in the palace. ”

In this way, the origin of Nanzhu and Jinzhu is even more mysterious. If it weren't for the inner court to buy and smuggle things out of the palace in order to fill their own pockets, then who could do it before the emperor?

"In addition, the people I stayed in the Xu family also spread the news, Xu Yanzuo still hasn't returned, but in the past few months, several groups of people of unknown origin have gone to the village to investigate. In addition, Xu Chengzuo had also conducted an autopsy in front of Huang Dashan, so I guess he should be safe and sound now. Xiao Qinglang looked at Xu Chu and said slowly, "If Xu Chengzuo is in danger, those people don't have to go to great lengths to find him." ”
