Chapter 72: The Orchid and the Fox (2)
Deng Nan was about thirty years old, with a short beard and clear eyebrows, and when he entered the house, he took off the black coat outside, revealing a cyan gown, and his temperament was elegant and upright.
After seeing Lin Yuan and Luo'er, Deng Nan greeted him politely and politely, and then went straight to the point: "Mr. Lin has come thousands of miles, I don't know what advice I have?" β
Changtianlou is famous, and Deng Nan also thought about asking Changtianlou to investigate Deng Zhiyin's assassination, but Changtianlou was far away in Danyang and couldn't do it directly, so he chose the West Gate in the territory of Wei.
Later, I heard that Changtianlou and Chen and Yu joined forces to investigate the murder of the beauty, and Deng Nan didn't need to spend this thought anymore.
Now that Lin Yuan, the owner of Changtianlou, suddenly came to the door, Deng Nan intuitively felt that it was related to his sister's murder, so he hurriedly put down what he was doing and hurried over.
Deng Nan was waiting for Lin Yuan to speak, but Lin Yuan turned his gaze to the woman beside him.
When he entered the house just now, Deng Nan was concentrating on guessing Lin Yuan's intentions, and he didn't look closely at the woman in white beside Lin Yuan.
Lin Yuan was followed by a stunning woman, white clothes and white skirts, white fox fur, white skin is better than snow, lip color is also faint, a pair of black eyes looked at him clearly, the whole person was like ice and snow carving, delicate and cold, she looked at it intently, Deng Nan felt a feeling of flattery in her heart.
"Who is this girl?" Deng Nan couldn't help but soften his tone and asked.
Lin Yuan introduced him with a smile: "This is Lin's fiancΓ©e!" β
Luo'er glanced at Lin Yuan lightly, bowed to Deng Nan, and said: "My surname is Luo, I love the way of Lanyi, and after Changtianlou, I learned that the Deng family has a collection of "Continuing Xiangzhai Lanpu", but I ask to read it!" β
A woman who is obsessed with orchid art searches for the book of orchid art through Changtianlou, and then comes to the door to ask for it, which seems to be nothing wrong.
Deng Nan looked at Luo'er again with a solemn expression, and suddenly asked: "Every life is tied with flowers, the stem is the most green, the leaves are green and thin, flowers and give birth to children, and the stems are similar to bitter horsetail leaves, what kind of category is it?" β
"Stove Mountain, also known as Jasper!" Luo'er replied without blinking.
"By the Golden Palace, who is precious?"
"The leaf is divided into two sides from the tip, each with a line, straight down to the middle of the leaf, and the color reflects the sun like a golden line!" Luo'er replied slowly, but did not hesitate.
Deng Nan nodded, sighed lightly, and said, "The Deng family did have a copy of "Continuation of Xiang Zhai Lanpu"ββ"
The word "once" was enough to make Luo'er frown and change color.
I heard Deng Nan continue: "The book "Continuation of Xiang Zhai Lanpu" was originally inadvertently obtained by the sister, and after the sister died, this book also returned with it! β
Luo'er's heart sank.
said goodbye to Deng Nan and returned to the carriage.
Zhang Yang couldn't wait to come up and ask, "How is it?" β
Luo'er shook her head and said, "It's with the burial!" β
"Impossible!" Zhishu said in surprise, "There is no book in the lady's funeral goods, and it was accepted by Lang Jun at that time-" After a pause, he asked hesitantly, "Is Deng Da Langjun talking about the burial or the return of the underworld?" β
Luo'er asked suspiciously: "Isn't it the meaning of burial?" β
Zhishu shook his head and explained: "The return of the underworld is a unique name in the area of Taihe County, the burial is with the coffin, and the return of the underworld is burned with the paper!" β
It actually burned? Isn't it worse than being buried? Luo'er suddenly felt powerless.
Lin Yuan looked at Zhishu thoughtfully, and suddenly asked, "Zhishu used to be served by Mrs. Deng's side?" β
Zhishu glanced at him uneasily, and replied with a low "yes".
"Then why were you sold after Deng Niangzi died?" Lin Yuan's tone was still gentle, but his words were sharp.
Deng is a family of Taihe, a family slave, if he makes a mistake, he can also be punished to the remote Zhuangzi to do hard work, and he will rarely sell it, especially if he has served by the side of the daughter of the family like Zhishu, he knows some privacy secrets, and the master's family will not sell it for the sake of fame, even if he is executed in private.
Zhishu pursed his lips, his eyes flickered, and he didn't answer.
As soon as Lin Yuan asked, Luo'er also became suspicious: "You don't know what secret Deng Zhiyin has, Deng Nan wants to kill your mouth, and you will escape by yourself, right?" β
Zhishu hurriedly shook his head and explained: "There is no such thing, Deng Niangzi is innocent and frank, Deng Dalang is benevolent and kind, and the Deng family treats Zhishu as kind as a mountain!" β
"Then why were you sold?" Zhang Yang couldn't help but ask.
Luo'er and Lin Yuan also looked at her thoughtfully.
Zhishu was forced to tears, struggled for a long time, and finally bowed his head to Luo'er, and said softly but firmly: "This matter is about the old master, please forgive Zhishu for not saying more!" β
Luo'er nodded briskly, looked at Lin Yuan, and motioned for him not to ask again.
Lin Yuan smiled softly at her, and sure enough, he didn't ask.
Zhishu secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
The burning of "Continuation of Xiang Zhai Lanpu" disrupted their plans, and Luo'er didn't know whether to leave Huazhou for a while, and at least stayed in Huazhou today at least today.
After Zhishu saw that there was nothing wrong in the guest room, he went to Tianyifang to pick up the package.
As soon as Zhishu's footsteps were gone, there was a knock on the door.
The only one who can walk without being noticed by Luo'er is Lin Yuan.
Luo'er couldn't help frowning, since that night, Lin Yuan has been a little weird, usually there are still three people here, they all think he is difficult to deal with, if he opens the door now, wouldn't he have to be alone with him?
Seeing that Luo'er didn't respond, there were two more knocks on the door.
"Come in!" Luo'er said coldly, maybe there is something, you can't really stop him out of the door.
Lin Yuan walked in with a smile on his lips and closed the door with his hand.
If there is something to discuss, it is normal to close the door, but Luo'er stubbornly saw the hidden ill intentions from it, and instantly felt uncomfortable.
"Is there something wrong?" Luo'er frowned and asked impatiently.
Lin Yuan saw her undisguised unwelcome face, but he seemed to be in a better mood.
"I want to talk to you about Zhishu!" Lin Yuan said with a smile, his eyes were as gentle as water.
"What's wrong with Zhishu?" Luo'er was diverted, and her mood relaxed a little, and she didn't notice that Lin Yuan moved closer quietly.
"Don't you think Zhishu is hiding something from us?" Lin Yuan said, "Regarding Deng Zhiyin and "Continuation of Xiang Zhai Lanpu", Zhishu must know some key things! β
Luo'er thought for a while, nodded, and said calmly: "Zhishu does have some things that she hasn't said, but she has said everything she can say, and the rest may be hidden, Deng Zhiyin is not thin after all, and it is understandable that Zhishu is unwilling to say it, so why should we be strong-" As he spoke, he suddenly glanced at Lin Yuan, as if he was smiling, "Could it be that without Zhishu, Changtianlou can't find out?" β
Lin Yuan had seen Luo'er look at Feng Lin with this kind of eyes from a distance, Feng Lin would only giggle in an instant, and now it was her turn to look at her like this, only to feel that the eyes were as soft as silk, the slightest bit of bone erosion, entangled people uneasy, unable to control themselves.
Seeing Lin Yuan's reaction, Luo'er's face changed, and her voice became cold: "If it's okay, please do it!" β
