The girl's eyes are bright and bright, and the smile at the corner of her mouth is confident and generous, as if she has the temperature of the summer sun.

Lin Shao'an's heart skipped a beat inexplicably, his face was a little hot, he hurriedly took the letter, lowered his eyes and coughed lightly: "Ziyi is polite, what do you say about cooperation or not, if our Lin family can successfully gain a foothold in Xiangyang City, we will naturally take care of your three sisters and brothers." ”

As soon as Mo Xiaodie heard it, he knew that he didn't take her words seriously, and also, in this world, the world always thinks that women should stay in the back house.

Mo Xiaodie was not in a hurry, only smiled and returned to her original position.

It is not her style to sit back and wait, she never thought that she would have to rely on Nanping Houfu, who was already too busy to take care of herself, for the rest of her life.

Wei Ziqing on the side looked at Lin Shao'an's slightly restrained appearance, and his little sister's unconscious attractive smile, and a few thoughtful touches quietly flowed in his eyes.

Soon, Lin Shaoan left, and the three sisters and brothers also began to leave for Yuan's house.

The Yuan family is also in the east of the city, most of the people living in the east of the city are ordinary people, the housing prices are cheaper, and the most important thing is that there is a public rental house undertaken by the imperial court, and the rent fee is more than twice as cheap as the houses rented by the people themselves, which is very popular, and officials have the right to rent houses first.

For an official like Yuan Hongjie, who was born in a poor family, no matter how high the official position is, just relying on that idea, if he wants to buy a house of his own in Xiangyang City, he can only dream about it, so the imperial court has such a policy.

Therefore, there are also many court officials who have no foundation living in the eastern part of the city.

The three sisters and brothers talked and laughed all the way, and Wei Chengxuan, who had stolen half a day of leisure in his busy life of preparing for the exam, was even more excited, and said with a slightly red cheek: "I haven't been to the eldest sister's house yet, I heard that the eldest brother-in-law's ranking when he was admitted to the imperial examination was not low, I don't know if I can let the eldest brother-in-law guide my article?" ”

Thinking that his little brother came all the way over, and he didn't even have a decent gentleman, Wei Ziqing was a little distressed, nodded with a smile and said, "Of course, you just ask!" Although your eldest brother-in-law is a little wooden, he has a good temperament and does things most seriously and properly, you ask him to help you guide the article, and he may even have to help you circle out the typos in it one by one! You have to be mentally prepared. ”

Wei Chengxuan's eyes lit up, he smiled, and his young face was full of expectation and joy, "I'm not afraid!" Luckily, I had the foresight to bring an article that I wrote just yesterday. ”

Wei Ziqing tidied up his younger brother's hair lovingly, and said, "Today, I also prepared your favorite food for your sister and brother, and for Xuan'er, I prepared a lion's head, a duck stuffed with wine, and a pot of chicken soup that has been boiled since the morning." ”

Wei Chengxuan's face darkened.

"There are also your favorite squirrel cinnamon fish, sweet and sour pork segments, and wine-stuffed meatballs for Ziyi!"

Mo Xiaodie's face also darkened.

Wei Ziyi's taste is completely opposite to her, she is really, very annoying, very nasty, and sweet.

Wei Ziqing noticed that the interest of his younger siblings suddenly dropped, and he couldn't help but be a little confused, but fortunately, at this time, the Yuan family arrived.

Yuan Hongjie, who was dressed in a moon-white straight jacket, had already waited at the gate with Banxia, and when he saw them, he immediately greeted them, asked Banxia to help Mo Xiaodie and Wei Chengxuan get out of the car, and personally stepped forward to help Wei Ziqing.

As soon as Wei Ziqing saw her husband, the corners of her mouth rose slightly, her eyes were as soft as a puddle of water, and she took Yuan Hongjie's hand and got out of the carriage carefully.

Mo Xiaodie watched from the sidelines, only feeling that he was fed a mouthful of dog food, obviously the two did not have too close contact, Yuan Hongjie, as a scholar who read the books of sages, could not do anything out of the ordinary in front of outsiders, but just from the eyes of the two of them, it seemed to be glued to the sight, as well as the tacit understanding and warmth between their gestures, they knew that they were a loving couple.

To be honest, just looking at his appearance, Yuan Hongjie is not outstanding at all, and even some of his appearance is not good-looking, and he is much older than Wei Ziqing at first glance, but he looks steady and down-to-earth, has a simple temperament, and is reliable.

Mo Xiaodie nodded secretly in her heart, and then looked at Wei Chengxuan, the kid was secretly squeezing his eyes at her, putting on a look of no eyes, Mo Xiaodie couldn't help but laugh.

When it was time for dinner, Mo Xiaodie and Wei Chengxuan really didn't look at it, looking at Wei Ziqing who kept putting vegetables into their bowls, Mo Xiaodie quietly moved her bowl a little, and said very tactfully: "Eldest sister doesn't care about me, but Xuan'er is growing her body, so she needs to eat more." ”

Wei Ziqing showed a distressed look on his face again, and immediately put a big duck leg in Wei Chengxuan's bowl, "Xuan'er, eat more, this is all made by the eldest sister herself, try to see if the eldest sister's craftsmanship has improved." ”

Wei Chengxuan, who was trying to cook rice, suddenly glanced at Mo Xiaodie with resentment, but he still squeezed out a smile on his face, gritted his teeth and said: "The dishes made by the eldest sister are getting better and better, the eldest brother-in-law is really blessed!" ”

Wei Ziqing was immediately very pleased.

Yuan Hongjie looked at this scene with a smile and didn't speak, Mo Xiaodie always felt that this guy actually knew everything, but he was just pretending to be stupid......

Because he was happy, Yuan Hongjie poured a glass of wine and drank it little by little, and said, "Tomorrow I will take a rest, just enough to accompany you to Guangxiao Temple to make incense." ”

Wei Ziqing was slightly stunned, "Didn't you say that some documents have not been sorted out, and you have to go back to Hanlin Academy tomorrow?" ”

Yuan Hongjie put down the wine glass in his hand and sighed: "The child who disappeared the day before yesterday has not been found in Du Xiang's family, although it may be a little unfounded, but I think about it, I still accompany you to a trip with peace of mind." ”

These days, a dead house who is locked up and immersed in hard study and completely out of touch with the world raises his head, blinks his eyes, and has an expression of begging for information.

Yuan Hongjie chuckled, and couldn't help but say to Wei Ziqing: "I haven't seen each other for four years, Ziyi and Chengxuan are a lot more lively and agile than before, it's really good!" ”

After speaking, he told them the strange case of the disappearance of Langjun, the concubine of Prime Minister Du You's family.

Wei Chengxuan was stunned when he heard this, and when he heard that the gangster left a pomegranate flower, he couldn't help but say: "I remember that there are many pomegranate flowers on the mountain road from outside the city to Guangxiao Temple, and they should all bloom at this time." ”

Wei Ziqing's face couldn't help but change slightly.

Yuan Hongjie said with a smile: "Don't worry, it's the season when pomegranate flowers are in full bloom, don't talk about the mountain road of Guangxiao Temple, there are many pomegranate flowers in full bloom all over the city."

Moreover, there will be no fewer people who will go to Guangxiao Temple to incense tomorrow, and the gangster kidnapped the children of Du Xiang's family, and it was too late to hide, how could he take the initiative to appear in the crowd. ”

Wei Chengxuan nodded in admiration, but couldn't help but ponder, "Then why, after the gangster abducted the child, he still left a pomegranate flower?" ”

Yuan Hongjie saw that he was so absorbed in this mystery that he didn't have the heart to eat, so he couldn't help but put a piece of squirrel cinnamon fish into his bowl, and said: "I don't know about this yet, but the Du family is the queen's mother's mother's family, and the official family and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince are very concerned about this matter."

His Royal Highness the Crown Prince also sent someone to Xiangyang City Yin yesterday, explaining that he must rescue people as soon as possible, and now Xiangyang City City Yin is vigorously investigating this matter, and it should soon be revealed. ”

Wei Chengxuan's thoughts were immediately interrupted, looking at the dishes piled up like a mountain in the bowl, he wanted to cry without tears.

Eldest sister, eldest brother-in-law, when you were picking vegetables, didn't you feel that this hill was already crumbling? QAQ

Mo Xiaodie, who had not spoken on the side, had a deep thought in her eyes.

has been investigating and chasing the murderer all year round, and she believes that she still has a certain sensitivity to crimes.

It must not be an accident that a gangster leaves a pomegranate flower at the scene of his crime, he is conveying a certain message to a certain person, or a certain group of people.
