Chapter 153: Looking for a hairpin is not encountered
I stayed in Lining City for two days, and I didn't find any women in red.
It may be late, the woman in red has already left.
Luo'er was upstairs in Naning, looking at the railing along the street, bustling with all kinds of people, but she couldn't see the one she was looking for.
"What are you looking at?" Zhishu asked behind him.
Turning around, looking down, I saw a five or six-year-old boy with round eyes looking straight at Luo'er: "I seem to have seen the hairpin on my sister's head somewhere!" ”
Luo'er's heart moved, she raised her hand and pulled out the hosta, brought it to the boy, and asked with a pleasant face: "Where have you seen it?" ”
The boy glanced at it, pointed to the flower on the hairpin and said excitedly, "I have seen this flower in the library!" ”
After a stick of incense, the three of them followed the boy to his house.
On the bank of the water, the green tile and pink walls, row upon row, this little boy was also from the local clan of Lining.
Luo'er looked at the three words "Pengyangtang" on the archway in front of him, which seemed to be dyed with medicinal fragrance, the Wu family has been inherited for thousands of years, and there are still some things left after all......
"It's here!" The little boy happily held Luo'er's hand, this sister is not only good-looking, but also soft and fragrant......
"I'll take you to the library!" The boy pulled Luo'er, and just walked under the archway, he met Mr. Wu who Luo'er recognized.
As soon as they met, it was Mr. Wu who saluted the little boy and said, "Uncle Thirty-Seven! ”
The boy pretended to be old and nodded, told Luo'er and the others about their intentions, and then asked, "Shentu, have you seen the flowers on my sister's hairpin?" ”
Mr. Wu looked at it and shook his head: "I haven't seen the book Uncle Thirty-Seven said!" ”
So I accompanied them to the library.
Wu built a small building with five rooms and three floors to store books, Zhishu and Zhang Yang stayed downstairs, and the boy led Luo'er and Wu Shen Tu to the third floor, pointed to a corner and said, "That's what I saw here!" ”
Wu Shen Tu walked over and looked at it twice, and asked, "Does Uncle Thirty-Seven remember which book it is?" ”
The boy scratched his head: "I don't remember, the book fell by itself and hit me on the head, I just saw it, I remember that it was full of pictures, there are flowers and grass, birds and beasts, the paintings are all strange, all of them have never been seen before!" ”
Wu Shen Tu looked at the hundreds of books in this corner, and shook his head helplessly: "I am afraid it will take a lot of time to find all of them!" Looking up at Luo'er, "If the girl is eager to find out, she might as well stay and look for it together!" ”
Luo'er hesitated a little: "I'm an outsider, can I rummage here?" ”
Wu Shen scribbled and said, "It's okay, this library is originally available for the Wu clan and friends with foreign surnames to borrow!" ”
Since Wu Shen Tu said so, Luo'er is not welcome, this hairpin is extraordinary everywhere, and she also wants to know the origin.
This stay is two days.
The corner that Wu Xiaotong pointed to was full of books of that kind, each with a drawing, he was too young to remember, and he looked at each one a little similar, causing them to almost turn over hundreds of books in this corner.
In the end, nothing came of it.
"Uncle Thirty-Seven, could it be that you have misremembered the location?" Wu Shen Tu couldn't help but be suspicious.
Wu Xiaotong was unhappy: "It's really here, I won't be mistaken!" ”
Wu Shen Tu shook his head helplessly, and said to Luo'er: "I can't find the book, but you can go and ask my great-uncle grandfather, he has been guarding the library for 80 years, and there are few books in this building that he has never seen!" ”
Wu Xiaotong said "um" and "um" twice, and added: "It's my great-grandfather!" ”
Although this old man is not a master of the world who is difficult to see, he is really old, and after it took a lot of effort to describe the book, he took the hosta and looked at it for a long time, and then said slowly: "I have some impressions of this flower, it seems to be in the ...... of the different zhi department."
Wu Shen Tu was helpless again, the book was on the third floor, and he had just told the old man about this.
"I don't remember what this flower is called...... What is the book called? The old man raised his head, looked at the sky and thought hard for a long time, but still shook his head, "I'm old, I can't remember......
Luo'er was also helpless, and had the idea of giving up in her heart.
"You can't find the book, could it be that someone borrowed it?" The old man asked slowly.
Wu Shen Tu's eyes lit up: "Yes! I'm going to ask Uncle Eleven! He patted the old man on the shoulder, "Thank you, Uncle Gao, Grandfather!" ”
The group came and went in a hurry, leaving a centenarian with a white beard to continue to bask in the sun in the yard.
"Huh......" The old man's voice sounded slowly again, "That book seems to be called ......"
Pengyangtang's library has always been guarded by Wu Xiaotong's family, and the current keeper is Wu Xiaotong's own brother.
After listening to Wu Shentu's description, Wu Xiaotong's brother flipped through the borrowing record book: "There are quite a lot of books borrowed by the Yizhi Department on the third floor, there are seven books!" ”
Write down the whereabouts of these seven books and find them one by one.
Six of them were borrowed by the Wu clan, and it was easy to find, and they had all been visited at the end of the day, but none of them were the one Wu Xiaotong said, so only the last one remained.
"There is a Bear Foreign Body?" Luo'er read the title of the book and asked, "Isn't it recorded that there are products of the Bear Kingdom in ancient times?" ”
Wu Shen Tu shook his head: "I haven't read this book, but I've heard that in ancient times, the aura of heaven and earth flourished, breeding many strange flowers and plants and rare birds and beasts, and our Wu ancestor drew a book of "There Are Bears and Foreign Objects". He looked at the borrower, "It's too late today, I'll let someone send the message first, and I'll visit with you tomorrow!" ”
Luo'er let out an "um" and her eyes fell on the borrower's name.
What a coincidence!
Early the next morning, Wu Shen Tu took the three of Luo'er to the door of the City Lord's Mansion.
The porter had already been commanded to meet them eastward.
But as soon as he entered the door, he happened to pick up Shen Zong, who was about to go out.
This is the Shen family, it is not uncommon to meet Shen Zong, but it is strange that Luo'er actually saw the warbler beside Shen Zong again.
Yingzhuan is still dressed as a maid, and her eyes do not squint, as if she doesn't know Luo'er at all.
"Miss Luo?" When Shen Zong saw Luo'er, he stopped, although he had a smile on his face, his eyes were full of defense, "Miss Luo visited the City Lord's Mansion, what advice do you have?" ”
Luo'er's gaze retracted from Ying's turn, and said lightly: "I'm here to find Shen Wulang!" ”
As soon as Shen Zong heard the word "Shen Wulang", his face became aggressive, and he even threw his vigilance against Luo'er to the back of his mind.
"I haven't asked Miss Luo yet, what did you say to Xu Yunxi that day, and he sent Xu Wuniang to the palace?" Shen Zong was still speaking in a tone at the beginning, and when he said the second half of the sentence, he was a little bit gritted his teeth.
Luo'er was stunned for a moment before reacting.
"I'll just tell him that you're a master of mandarin ducks!" Luo'er Yun said lightly.
