Shen Zetang sat on the hexagonal armchair made of purple elm water nan, calmly eating tea, this is the next place of the excellent child Chen Ruilin, called Xianglaiyuan.

These days, he checked the files of the old years and locked up three major cases of plagiarism.

First, seven years ago, in the case of Chen Shangli, the Zhan Shi of Zhan Shifu, who poisoned the prince, Chen Shangli was executed for a long time, the male dependents in the house were beheaded, and the female dependents and young children were put into the school or sold into slavery. When Jinyiwei checked the register, there was one girl missing, and it was later confirmed that he accidentally fell into the bottom of the well and drowned when he searched his home, and no body was found.

The second is that five years ago, the Ministry of Labor's left attendant Lang Tian Qihui embezzled ink case, all over the house, and when Jinyiwei checked the register, he rarely had a father and son in the family, because he was not a blood relative.

The third is that a few months ago, General Wang Litong treason case, the male dependents were killed, and all the female dependents were included in the Teaching Workshop Division, and it was rumored that Wang Lianbi also had a twin sister, but there was no list in the register.

Feng Shunyu disguised herself as a man to take the imperial examination and wanted to enter the court, so she must have taken such a risky because of the family feud and blood case.

Who is she?

Shen Zetang was frowning and groaning, suddenly hearing the sound of muttering outside the door, two waiters came in front and back, one picked up the chiseled copper hook and hooked the phoenix to wear the peony soft curtain, and the other replied: "My lord will sit down again, and Lin Lang will change his clothes immediately." ”

After speaking, he walked to the flower stand, wanting to burn the plum blossom cake in the Xuande copper furnace, Shen Zetang blocked it, saying that he didn't like to smell the fragrance, just open the window half a fan, and the waiter should accept it, and retreated.

With just a cup of tea, Chen Ruilin wore a cocoon silk with a large begonia flower on the bottom of the ink, and walked in with an oily powdered face, reading outward in his mouth and hanging up three more colored silk palace lamps, and hurriedly knelt down in front of Shen Zetang.

Shen Zetang bowed his head and ordered him to sit on the chair next to him, and the hall illuminated by the palace lamps was as bright as daylight, showing a scratch from Chen Ruilin's ears to his cheeks, oozing rouge and blood, and spoiling the hibiscus noodles that relied on it to eat.

Chen Ruilin looked at him with his eyes on his cheeks, very embarrassed, rubbed the handkerchief and tapped the mark, and sighed: "I am like Mrs. Deng who danced Ruyi in the Han Palace and injured the jade cheek, which made Second Master Shen smile." ”

It just so happened that the waiter prepared a table, knowing that these dignitaries and dignitaries ate delicacies, and the dishes were all light and delicate side dishes, such as fried winter bamboo shoots in spring, wolfberry sprouts with oil and salt, fried shrimp with pea seedlings, etc. Later, a cage of hot crabs was served, which was delivered from Yangzhou, and it was very fresh.

Chen Ruilin poured him wine and muttered: "I really want to cook and eat that southern prostitute like this crab, so that I can relieve my hatred." ”

Shen Zetang picked up a chopstick and ate winter bamboo shoots, and asked him how this was?

Chen Ruilin held his breath and said hatefully: "Zhang Yunke is a smiling fox, but he will come to trouble, and he will pick the brainless white peony to the beam, scolding me for being a shameless little oil flower, causing their sisters to be lonely and widowed." I scolded her, you are a man and a woman, I am a child and a crown, and the other is the wind and moon, each with its own way, why do you have bad intentions to make it difficult. I cursed her again, and in the next life she would have to be born as a husband and wife, and die as a husbandless ghost, and she became angry, and she came up and scratched my face with her fingernails, and got rid of a dominatrix. ”

Shen Zetang put down his chopsticks, refused the bright red crab roe that he scooped out with a silver spoon and handed to his mouth, took a sip of tea, raised his head and looked at him heavily, and said slowly: "Chen Qingqi, your scholarly Confucianism has faded completely. ”

Chen Ruilin was slightly stunned, suddenly smiled, picked up again, and ate the whole piece of crab roe by himself, lowered his eyes for a long time, and his tone was disapproving: "Second Master Shen's words are bad, Chen Qingqi has been sold cheaply, and now he is a good boy on Cherry Xiejie, relying on social harmony and beautiful conversation. This is my fate, I only dare to go forward, Shen Erye is not provoking me to look back. ”

Shen Zetang sneered: "Born in sorrow and died in peace!" In this world, you are not the only one who has fallen into the path of great sorrow and great calamity from the realm of great wealth and wealth. Whatever I know is unyielding to life, but you would rather fall for yourselves. I was disappointed. ”

After a pause, he said lightly: "It's a pity that your belly is full of splendid chapters." ”

Chen Ruilin ate the crab cleanly, and looked at it with a smile: "Second Master Shen came to look for me, do you want to listen to me make righteousness?" I'm afraid I can't, I've long forgotten about it. If you want to listen to any tune, there will be a lot, the second master's "Ruilong Yin" I have sung more than 10,000 times, adults may wish to listen to a song. So he asked the waiter to fetch the sheng.

Shen Zetang shook his head and said no, he just asked him: "Seven years ago, when Jinyiwei checked his nationality, you had a younger sister who was missing, nine or ten years old, do you know about it?" ”

Chen Ruilin spilled half a cup of wine in his hand, waved his hand to retire, and said with a slight tremor in his lips: "Didn't my sister fall into the well and drown?" Why did Second Master Shen come here to ask? ”

Looking at his pale expression, I really don't know.

"Don't panic, I've been flipping through old cases recently, and I just happened to see it, and I don't mean anything else." Shen Zetang's tone was very gentle: "Your family's case is also confusing, and it still needs to be discussed in the long run." ”

Then he asked, "What's so special about your sister?" ”

Chen Ruilin calmed down, poured a cup of wine and drank it all, and said slowly: "My sister's life is bitter, she accidentally fell into the brazier when she was a child, and burned half of her face. ”

Shen Zetang frowned, sat silently for a while, and had no more gossip to say, that is, he took his whole clothes and left.

Fifteenth school day, Liang Guogong Mansion.

Xu Lancai tried swordsmanship with the third brother, and he was already sweating profusely, so he went to the bath room to take a shower, but he felt that there was nothing to do, so he shook out of the room.

After passing a wisteria trellis, I saw that the cage hanging on the porch was empty, and the green parrot with a mouth full of birds did not know where it had gone.

He fell in love with the fowl and killed each other, and when he saw it, he was eager to pluck out its hair, which would be gone, but he was worried that it would be eaten by others because of its cheap mouth and the blood of others

I simply walked around in the garden, passed through the shade of a green onion cage, and saw that in the octagonal pavilion in the center of the lotus pond, my mother turned her back to him, sat on the railing, and shook the beauty fan in her hand, and was resting.

Before striding closer, he could hear who his mother was talking to laughing, and it was too late to stop his feet, and the people in the pavilion could already hear and look at him.

Talking to her mother is her cousin Yuan Xueqin, and in the other corner, her nephew Xiaoqi is pinching a big pink lotus flower, concentrating on peeling the lotus canopy.

I had to step forward and bow my cousin's head slightly, and then waved it to my mother, and said with a smile: "Can my mother see that noisy parrot?" There was no shadow on the porch. ”

Without waiting for her mother to speak, Yuan Xueqin came in with a swollen head and a red face, pointed to something else, leaned over slightly, and walked away with a twist.

Xu Lan was a little surprised, but it was meaningless, and the maid Ying'er panicked, and said that the medicine was decoctioned, but the lady was gone, and the master was mad.

Xu Lan saw her mother get up with a depressed face, and she didn't say a word to him, but also left.

He scratched his head, he was no longer surprised, and he wanted to go to the next place to look for birds, but suddenly the figure in front of him flickered, and Xiao Qi, who peeled the lotus canopy, ran to him and asked him to bow down his ears, looking mysterious.

"Fifth uncle, Aunt Xueqin can get married! She was bleeding a lot from her buttocks. ”
