Chapter 27: The Shadow

After Mo Li's carriage turned around and left, Han Sidao was still standing there looking at the car shadow in the distance, for some reason, he always had a lingering doubt in his heart, but after thinking about it, he couldn't figure out anything for a while.

Zhang Yimao next to him said: "Master Han, what kind of girl was she just now, how could she be so beautiful, look at that little appearance, she is not inferior to the two sisters in Changchun Courtyard at all." ”

Han Sidao frowned, the displeasure in his eyes flashed, and he just said immediately: "Aren't you going to listen to the story, why don't you go quickly, you won't have a good place for a while." ”

Zhang Yimao glanced at Han Sidao, and knew it in his heart, so he shook the folding fan and smiled, and then beckoned to a few people next to him: "Okay, a few of our brothers will go over first and set a location, and Han Ye will come later." ”

Han Sidao nodded, and after a few of them left, he said to Liu Qi: "This matter is a little strange today, you can go to the gatehouse of the Yang Mansion to inquire later, did there really a descendant of the Mo family go over to inquire about the whereabouts of the eldest girl of their family just now." ”

Liu Qi shook his head and smiled bitterly after being slightly stunned: "Brother Han is really a careful person, but I was miserable by you in this matter today, if this is passed on to my father, I don't know how to teach me, even on my aunt's side, I don't dare to pass this time again." But don't worry, I can still help you when I go to the porter to inquire about it. ”

Han Sidao patted him on the shoulder slightly apologetically and said, "No one expected the accident, forget it, come with me to the restaurant for a few drinks, seal the mouths of those people first, and then talk about this matter in detail." ”

Liu Qi smiled: "This, I still have something to do, so I won't accompany Brother Han today." ”

Han Sidao was stunned: "What?" ”

Liu Qi's peach blossom eyes narrowed: "The two sisters in Changchun Courtyard just now were born well, that girl has a good temper, I'll take a look." ”

Han Sidao smiled: "The women of Yigou Courtyard are also worthy of your Liu Shao's attention." ”

"It's always different if you don't get it, doesn't Brother Han know this too." Liu Qi blinked, and said goodbye another day. Han Sidao had no choice but to ask him not to forget what he had just said and let him go. In the end, there was only Han Sidao left at the door of the shop, and I saw him standing there with his brows twisted and pondering for a while, and then glanced in the direction that Mo Li had left before, and then walked towards the restaurant that Zhang Yimao said just now.

Everyone in this farce, including Mo Li, didn't know that in another private room facing the street on the second floor opposite, a young man was almost seen from beginning to end.

After Han Sidao left, Xie Gexian picked up the tea cup and took a sip gently, only to find that the tea had cooled down for some time. He paused, then smiled, and took another sip, just as the little guy next to him came in from outside.

"This tea is cold, why is the son still drinking, didn't the doctor tell the son not to drink cold tea!" Ping'an came in and took a look, and immediately said dissatisfied, and as he spoke, he stepped forward to take away the tea cup in front of Xie Gexian, and then asked the guy to come over and change the hot tea. Xie Gexian said with a smile: "You don't have to change it, I've sat idle enough today for a long time, let's go back to the checkout." ”

Ping An was stunned, I don't know if it was an illusion, he felt that Childe seemed to be in a good mood at this time, and even the smile was not as obvious politeness and detachment as in front of people in the past.

"Childe has thought of something good?" Ping An couldn't help but ask.

"Why do you ask?" Xie Gexian raised his eyebrows and glanced at him.

"I just think Childe just had a smile in his eyes." As he spoke, Ping'an helped Xie Gexian pick up the idle books on the table, but he didn't move at all when he saw the plate of butter snails he ordered before, so he said, "The butter snails here are still not in line with the child's taste?" ”

Xie Gexian smiled helplessly: "I don't know if it's because my memory is wrong or my mouth has become tricky, I've been thinking about things for so long, but now I only smell that smell a little wrong, so I don't want to touch it." ”

Hearing this, Ping'an's eyes couldn't help but darken, but Xie Gexian didn't continue to recall, and went to the door as he spoke.

"Have you just been to the Yang Mansion?" As soon as he got into the carriage, Mo Li asked Hongdou.

"Don't worry, girl, I'll pass according to the time the girl said." Hongdou replied with a smile, and then asked, "Who was that just now, that question was so rude." ”

"Han Sidao." Mo Li was silent for a while before gently spitting out the name.

Hongdou was taken aback: "Ah, isn't that the Han Ye that the master often says!" ”

Mo Li lowered his eyes, mumbled, and then turned his head to look out the screen window quietly. When Ah Sheng drove the carriage to Ping'an Street, he stopped, and Hongdou was about to ask what was going on, Mo Li said to her: "I remember that there is an old shop near here that specializes in selling all kinds of tea, you go down and buy some candied golden oranges to make tea, remember to let the store weigh it, don't let them mix the rotten orange fruits into it." As she spoke, she took out a few coins of silver and put them in the red bean's hand.

"Why did the girl suddenly want to drink this?" Hongdou took the silver and smiled, opened the curtain and looked out, and really saw a shop specializing in tea not far in front of him.

Mo Li smiled lightly: "It's Mo Xue who likes this, it's hard to come out today, so I'll bring some back for her." Oh, and with the rest of the money, you can go to the shop next door and pick up some fresh cheese and let the kitchen make some snacks in the evening. ”

"Wait a minute, girl, I'll buy it and I'll come back." Azuki jumped out of the car as she spoke.

Not long after the curtain was lowered, someone picked it up from outside, followed by a sister wearing an emerald blue shirt and a double Ruyi belt, with graceful eyebrows and handsome eyes.

"Is Brother Ling as I said, living well in the Zhou Garrison Mansion." After Li Yue'er came up, Mo Li said.

Li Yue'er first glanced at Mo Li, and then said, "What happened just now, what is the girl going to do?" ”

"There are a lot of guests coming and going in Changchun Courtyard, you look for an opportunity to pass on what you see today to the ears of the Xie family, and then if the Xie family asks you, you will tell you 1510, and there is no need to increase or decrease. If the Xie family doesn't ask you about it, you can appropriately reveal a few words to other people. ”

After Mo Li finished speaking, Li Yue'er looked at her suspiciously for a while, hesitated for a moment, and finally didn't ask anything, only said: "After I finish this matter according to the girl's words, the girl's kindness to tell her younger brother about the whereabouts will be fully repaid, and there will be no more debts from then on." ”

Mo Li glanced out of the screen window, then retracted his gaze to look at Li Yue'er, and sighed: "Don't you know the hobbies of the guards that week?" ”

Li Yue'er was stunned, her brows furrowed, and Mo Li continued: "Although there is no shortage of beautiful wives and concubines in the Zhou Garrison Mansion, the best thing about this person is a boy, as far as I know, in the Zhou Mansion, all beautiful boys over the age of ten and under the age of fifteen are all received by the Zhou Garrison as a personal servant. Brother Ling, she is eight years old this year, Sister Li looks like this, presumably Brother Ling's appearance must be not bad. ”

Li Yue'er's expression changed greatly, her hand tightly tugged at the tassel under the fan, and it took a long time before she opened her mouth: "You-"

"Do you know who sent your brother Xiaoshi to the Zhou Garrison Mansion?"

Li Yue'er's hand holding the spike was already white, Mo Li glanced down, and his voice was still soft: "There are many people who know that Zhou Shou is so good, and Han Sidao is one of them." After Brother Ling was separated from you that year, he fell into the hands of human traffickers, changed hands several times, and finally fell into the hands of a Yapo surnamed Qian, who was bought by Han Sidao about half a year ago, and then sent to the Zhou Mansion as a gift by him to make friends with Zhou Guard. If Sister Li wants to know the detailed transactions, she will go to Ya'er Hutong to find a Ya woman surnamed Qian to inquire. ”

"Who the hell are you, why do you know so much, and what's the purpose of telling me this!" Li Yue'er bit her lip, suppressed the vibration in her heart, and stared at Mo Li and asked.

"Like you, I'm a defenseless and weak woman, but in this world, even ants have their own way of surviving. I can't tell you the information from the source of the news, but I have no ill will towards you, and I have not made it clear from the beginning that if you help me, I can tell you what you want to know. Now, I can also promise you that within a year, I will let Brother Ling leave the Zhou Mansion, and if you are willing to take care of it myself, I will hand Brother Ling over to you, but if you have any scruples, I can also find a good family for Brother Ling, and you can see it from time to time. ”

Li Yue'er was confused for a while, and the tassels of the fan were almost torn off by her, Mo Li looked at her quietly, and said in her heart: Li Yue'er, become my shadow.
