Chen Ying took two steps forward, put his body half sideways, covering the sight of everyone outside, and quietly put the wood carving on the case, and took a jade lion paperweight to block it.

Seeing this, Pei Shu tilted the corner of his mouth on the left, picked up the wood carving, walked to the case against the wall, turned his back to everyone, carefully observed the things in his hand, and his eyes became focused.

Chen Ying didn't bother him, he still sat in the same place, and after waiting for a while, Pei Shu turned back again, put the wood carving back behind the paperweight, squinted his eyes slightly and said softly: "It seems to be a horse." ”

"How so?" Chen Ying's voice was equally soft.

Pei Shu's eyes were fixed on the wood carving, and he said in a deep voice: "If there is any reason, I can't say it, I can only say that I feel like it." He looked at the four legs of the carved wood and said, "Do you see that these four hooves are bigger than the cows and sheep?" ”

"Really?" Chen Ying stared at it, but still didn't see anything, so he said apologetically: "I don't know much about these animals and the like." ”

Pei Shu let out an "oh", raised his eyes, and raised an eyebrow at the end of his raised eyes at the same time: "Miss Chen San claims to be a detective, and she doesn't even know this?" ”

There was a faint ridicule in these words, but Chen Ying didn't care, and said calmly: "There are thousands of things in this world, and what I can understand is only a small part of them." After that, he pointed to the ear part of the wood carving: "If it is a horse, this ear seems to be too big." ”

Pei Shu looked stunned, looked at the wood carving carefully, and felt that what she said seemed to be right.

After looking at it for a while, he took off his chin and nodded at the wood carving, and said in a low voice: "No matter what this is, judging from the knife technique, this person should not be very good at using a knife, and his technique is quite rusty." ”

It's a new discovery, and while it's still insignificant, it's better than nothing.

Chen Ying nodded, put away the wood carving, frowned and thought for a moment, and then asked, "I just heard that the adult said that he was going to the eldest princess's mansion for questioning, and the adult plans to go alone?" ”

Pei Shu tilted the corners of his mouth and smiled, and shook his sleeves: "Since this official is going alone." As he spoke, he swept his eyes towards Chen Ying, and said with a smile: "What? Are the three girls very close to the eldest princess? ”

Although he knew that he was knowingly asking, Chen Ying still seriously denied it: "I don't have a good relationship with the eldest princess. Otherwise, I'd rather be able to meet her for a while. ”

The Guogong Mansion and the eldest princess had such an unpleasant quarrel, it was a wise choice to avoid her edge, she would not go to the eldest princess's mansion, that was really not a smart approach.

Further, it would be detrimental to the present case if her presence had turned the investigation in an unpredictable direction.

"I'm going to pass today." Pei Shu said his plan, put the record sealed with fire paint into his sleeve, and then took out a folding fan, fanning the wind very leisurely: "This thing is given to me, I have to go to the palace later, it is better to do everything easily, and I can explain it to Your Majesty." ”

Being able to walk in front of the emperor so easily, the relationship between Pei Shu and Emperor Yuan Jia is really close.

Chen Ying picked up the teacup on the table and said softly and calmly: "Actually, this is already excellent. The eldest princess's mansion and Xingjibo's mansion are in-laws, and if something happens to Xingjibo's mansion, the eldest princess's mansion is inevitable. Your Majesty was able to open this mouth, which shows that he is still in his heart. ”

Pei Shu nodded and replied with four words: "The opportunity is rare." ”

Chen Ying sighed softly and agreed with his statement.

Then there was silence in the large study

Pei Shu walked slowly to the window, shaking his fan and looking into the distance; Chen Ying sat upright, frowning and thinking.

There was a silence in the room.

Pei Shu looked at the verdant green shadow outside the courtyard gate for a long time, and was speechless for a long time.

He had already discovered that apart from the case or the so-called "official business", he had nothing to say to this Chen San girl.

But the strange thing is that this kind of situation without words is not very embarrassing, and he can even feel a little comfortable from it.

After a long time, Pei Shufang turned his head and looked at Chen Ying, and the corners of his mouth slanted upward: "The tree is good." ”

Chen Ying immediately knew that he must be looking at the old apricot tree, so he twisted the corners of his mouth: "Thank you." ”

If anyone is here, they will be surprised by the similarity of their smiles, and even more surprised by the self-awareness of "my smile is friendly".

After laughing, Chen Ying's gaze stopped on Pei Shu's body, hesitated for a moment, and then looked away.

The dream of those five years was an unspeakable secret, and she didn't plan to reveal it until she became more familiar with Pei Shu.

So, the two of them had nothing to say.

I don't know if it's an illusion, Chen Ying always feels that Pei Shu seems to be in a very good mood at the moment, as if he is enjoying this speechless scene.

After standing for a while, Pei Shu left the window, and in a very sloppy posture, he thrust the fan into the back of his neck, and arched his hand: "The official still has something to do, so I will leave." ”

This is going to the eldest princess's mansion for questioning.

Chen Ying naturally couldn't keep him, so he also stood up and said, "My lord, it's easy to go." ”

"Stay." Pei Shu said briefly, glanced at Chen Ying again, and then turned around and walked out.

Chen Ying walked to the door and watched him step out of the courtyard door, accompanied by Liu Baoshan and left, so he didn't mention it.

But he said that Pei Shu did not ride a horse today, but came by car on purpose. After leaving the gate of the Guogong Mansion, the coachman drove the car over, and Lang Tingyu, who had been guarding outside, also followed.

"Go to the Eldest Princess's Mansion." Pei Shu gave an order, and he was about to get into the car.

Lang Tingyu was stunned, but after a while, Fang tentatively took half a step forward and asked, "Master...... Do you really want to go? ”

Pei Shu's face turned black immediately, and he scooped up the fan and unfolded it with a "brush", raised his eyebrows and said, "What's the matter, you can't go?" ”

"Go! Of course! Go very well! Seeing that the situation was not good, Lang Tingyu immediately changed his words

Pei Shu glanced at him sideways, and said coldly: "Go outside, don't say that you are Pei Jiajun." Before he could finish speaking, he kicked him coldly.

Lang Tingyu seemed to have expected it, flashed to the side extremely skillfully, and shouted in his mouth: "Master's words can be wronged by his subordinates." The subordinates are well-known local heroes! ”

"What a fart!" Pei Shu scolded, flicking the folding fan: "Open the door!" ”

Lang Tingyu walked over with a bitter gourd face and pulled the shelf, while guarding against his master's heartfelt feet at any time, he opened the car door, and persuaded bitterly: "Aren't your subordinates afraid that your master will offend people, and the master should not take everything on him." ”
