———————————————————————————————— or the Christmas dividing line——————————————————

Because of the nature of his position, the actions of the Hanging Mirror Envoy have always been low-key and secretive, and they have not been publicized after returning to Beijing in the summer and winter. But for those who have a heart, it is not difficult to find out her actions. However, for many pairs of eyes in the open and in the dark, Xia Dong was not deliberately mysterious, the Imperial Palace, the Marquis of Ningguo's Mansion, and the Mu family's Beijing Mansion, after she went in and out of these three places publicly, she lived in a simple place and stayed in the mansion of the Hanging Mirror Division.

However, to the surprise of the government and the opposition, the "land invasion case" storm caused by the expected return to Beijing in the summer and winter did not explode immediately, but this feeling of mountain rain and wind full of buildings is even more unbearable, Qingguo Gong Baiye has already been sick at home, and according to the imperial doctor, he is not pretending to be sick.

Another thing that everyone expected did not happen, the person who was rumored to be the county horse was still in the mansion of the Marquis of Ningguo as a guest, and the emperor gave him two ink treasures, and announced that he entered the palace to play the qin and drink tea once, but there was no news of the marriage. However, the Nihuang County Lord sent someone to deliver a letter to him the day after Xia Dong's visit, and he didn't know what kind of medicine these people were selling in their gourds.

The crown prince, who had thought about it behind closed doors, behaved extremely well, although it was inconvenient for him to publicly apologize to the county lord because the real reason was covered up, but the people in the prince's east palace would be polite sideways when they met the people of Mu Wangfu, and the posture was so low that it was staggering, but it made the angry Mu family unable to provoke a thorn, and the relationship between the two sides failed to deteriorate publicly. After Concubine Yue was demoted, she did even more bitter drama, and her rapid aging and emaciation made the emperor feel pity in his heart, and his anger was no longer as good as the original victory.

In such a stagnant and dreary situation, Su Zhe, who has become a celebrity in Kyoto, leisurely picked a sunny day and invited a few young friends to go out with him.

Mottled white walls, broken powdered eaves, and a gap in the parapet from time to time, the walls were crawling with the withered stems of wisteria, creepers, and wild roses. As far as the eye can see, there are only withered grass, half-dry lotus ponds, and you can see the fallen rockery rocks and the long corridor covered with spider silk everywhere. Only the undulating façade that runs along the slope still firmly encloses this small manor that has not been popular for a long time.

In the middle of the manor, the outline of a curved flower garden can be vaguely seen, but there are no flowers in the garden, only vines and weeds, charred and yellow, extending in all directions.

But in the midst of this dry and messy barren grass, there stood a few people in gorgeous clothes in a very incongruous manner, all looking from side to side, as if admiring the decaying scenery around them.

"If it weren't for the fact that I could see the spire of Chongyin Pagoda when I looked up, I really don't know where I was......" The person who spoke was the eldest prince of the Uncle Mansion, who was also handsome in winter, "I didn't expect that there was such a desolate place in Jinling City, Brother Su, how did you find here?" ”

"I didn't find it myself," the man in green shirt who replied with a wry smile, "I just entrusted a trading house and said that I wanted to buy a garden in the city, and the owner recommended it here, saying that it was a very good ......."

"Excellent ......" Xie Bi repeated these two words like an echo wall, and fixed his gaze on the half-collapsed flower platform not far away.

"He said very good, and you believed it? Pay without looking at the place? Jiang Zuomeng has become rich like this? Yan Yujin used a three-stage questioning method to clearly express his disdainful opinion.

"I ...... I sent Feiliu to see it, and he said it was excellent......"

"Excellent ......" The echo wall sounded again, and Feiliu's figure seemed to be cooperating with him, brushing the ground from the front in a flash, and disappeared into the rockeries that were crooked like a maze, and it seemed that he was playing on his head.

Yan Yujin clasped his hands on his chest and tilted his head to look at the handsome man in front of him. Entrusted the firm to buy a garden, and only sent a child to pay at a glance, this is the style of the Qilin genius? It's really different......

"Actually, it's not too bad here," Mei Changsu said with a smile, "at least the location is very good, the size is also appropriate, no one has lived in it for many years, and it is not strange that it has been abandoned like this." It's just that I have to ask someone to repair it well, and it should be beautiful to clean it up, and Feiliu likes it too...... Do you say, Jing Rui? ”

The young man, who hadn't spoken much from beginning to end, snorted in response.

"What's wrong?" Xie Bi leaned over, "It's obvious that Brother Su was deceived by someone to buy the garden, why does it seem that you are more depressed than him?" ”

Yan Yujin glanced at his friend with his spare eyes, and did not tease him with Xie Bi as he was used to before, but slowly tapped the palm of his other hand with a fan, and walked around leisurely, as if he wanted to see the garden more clearly, but he only walked about ten steps, and suddenly there was an "ah" sound, and the person was gone.

The people next to him were all startled, and they all rushed towards the place where the living person mysteriously disappeared, Xiao Jingrui had the best skills, so he was naturally the first to arrive, and shouted "Yujin!" at the same time. Yujin! ”

"Here......" a muffled voice came from underground, "pull me ......"

After being pulled out of the ground by Xiao Jingrui's wrist, the luxurious and beautiful robe of the uncle was already covered with black dust and yellow grass clippings.

"It's a dry well, looking at the gloomy ......" Xie Bi carefully picked up the wild grass that overflowed the wellhead and looked down, "The well platform has all collapsed, no wonder you haven't noticed......"

"Fortunately, I am extraordinary and caught the edge in time," Yan Yujin pulled the grass stalks in his hair, and his face was long, "It's really unlucky!" ”

Xiao Jingrui said thoughtfully: "Fortunately, the person who fell was you, if it was Brother Su, he would definitely not be able to catch anything, and he would ...... directly."

Yan Yujin gritted his teeth and looked at his best friend, like looking at a white-eyed wolf, and said hatefully: "What do you mean that it is me who is fortunate to fall?" You ...... without a conscience."

Mei Changsu also came over to help him tidy up, and Wen Yan asked, "Is anyone hurt?" ”

"No, no, how can a master like me be injured so easily?" Yan Yujin smiled, made an expression of nonchalance and waved his hand.

"That's," Xie Bi nodded in agreement, "he's very good at grabbing something and hanging it in the air, and I've often seen him ......hanging like this in the Treant Courtyard before."

Feiliu also arrived at the scene at some point, his eyes wide open to look at Yan Yujin, who was dirty all over his body, seeing that something was wrong with his whole body, and he felt even more embarrassed.

"I don't know where there will be danger in the deserted garden, so it's better to walk on the stone road when you go out." Xiao Jingrui admonished, and then glanced back at Mei Changsu, "Brother Su, you are walking in our steps." ”

"You're too careful," Xie Bi sneered, "no matter how desolate a garden is, it's just a garden, how can there be wells everywhere?" ”

"It's not a big deal to be careful," Mei Changsu said with a smile to defend Xiao Jingrui, "Although the grass is dense, if Yujin is careful, he will not necessarily stumble." It's covered with grass and uneven, and it's time to go back to the main road. ”

The weight of the older man's speech was different, and everyone listened to his advice, and returned to the main road together, strolling through the places they had not walked before, but no matter how much they walked, they were only the same desolation everywhere. The garden was not large, and soon there was a door in the back corner, where the two doors were actually closed, locked with a rusty iron lock. Except for Feiliu, no one wanted to walk back through the garden, so Xie Bi, who was walking in front, stretched out his hand to pull the door, and who knew that when he pulled it, the entire door panel fell off together.

"Oh my God, it's rotten like this, probably only those few blue brick houses are still good, right?" Yan Yujin shook his head and said, "There is simply no place that does not need to be repaired......"

"I'm afraid that the doors and windows of that house will have to be replaced, even if they are not decayed, they are too dirty." Xie Bi also said, "What kind of person is Brother Su, how can he live in such a humble garden?" I heard that there is a good ...... in the East Side."

"Forget it," Mei Changsu cut off his words with a smile, "The money has also been paid, what else are you talking about?" Just like Yujin said, our Jiangzuo League is not rich enough to be like that, so we can buy a few gardens in Kyoto City to keep them empty. ”

Xie Bi hurriedly said: "The garden in Dongcheng doesn't need money, Your Highness said......"

"Xie Bi," Xiao Jingrui said with some annoyance, "Brother Su will plan these things himself, what are you talking about so much?" ”

Xie Bi was slightly annoyed, and was about to fight back, but Mei Changsu had already inserted between the two of them, and joked: "This garden is not good, since I bought it, I can live in it no matter what, or the brothers in the alliance should scold me for spending money indiscriminately, and you can't bear to see me scolded, right?" As he spoke, he was secretly thinking in his heart about which Highness Xie Bi had just mentioned.

"This garden needs to be repaired to accommodate people, but I'm afraid it will take more than a month." Yan Yujin said with a smile, "But Brother Su is not in a hurry anyway, and Jing Rui doesn't want you to move out so soon, you see, if you just come out to see the garden today, he will look like he is in love." ”

Xiao Jingrui pursed the corners of his mouth, did not refute Yu Jin's words, and was silent for a while before slowly asking, "Brother Su really ...... Do you have to move out? ”

"It seems that I have to stay in the capital for a while longer, and I will always be disturbed in the house, and I am also unstable." Mei Changsu's gaze was very soft, but the words he said were unusually polite.

"Xuelu is a guest house, and it won't interfere with the main house, what's there to bother." Xiao Jingrui said sullenly.

Mei Changsu smiled faintly, "I know that Lord Hou and the eldest princess don't have to compare, but it's always a little inconvenient......"

Although this sentence is simple, it has a deep meaning. None of the people present were stupid people, thinking that he would be an important staff member of a certain palace sooner or later in the future, he naturally knew where the inconvenience was, and he couldn't help but be silent for a while.

"It's good to move out and live, it's not far anyway. For me, it's more convenient to visit Brother Su here than to go to Xie Mansion," after a while, Yan Yujin broke the dull atmosphere with a loud laugh, "But although this place is not big, it is a whole garden, how can you and Feiliuzhu do it alone?" There should be some servants to protect them. ”

"I've never liked being waited on by people, and Feiliu has always taken care of herself. However, it is not difficult to hire a few rough maids to sweep the courtyard...... As for the guards, firstly, there are Feiliu, and secondly, there are a few friends staying in the capital, and you can invite guests to live. ”

Xiao Jingrui remembered that Yan Yujin had said that the four masters who escorted him into Beijing had not left yet, and he suddenly understood in his heart, and he couldn't help but feel a little uncomfortable, but at the same time, he felt a little relieved.

"It's naturally good to live with more people, but ......" Yan Yujin didn't know what to think of, squeezed his eyes and smiled, "There are many tree monsters and flower demons in abandoned gardens." Brother Su is only afraid to be careful after living with his friends, if a beautiful woman knocks on the window in the middle of the night one day, you must hold it, and it is best not to even open the window to look at her, so as not to be hooked. ”

"Cut," Xie Bi chirped, "You didn't even look at it, how do you know it's a beautiful woman?" ”

"Once the goblin has the power of transfiguration, of course it is necessary to conjure up a good-looking appearance, if it is conjured into the appearance of Lord Sun of the Ministry of Officials, it is better to show its original form."

The head of the official department surnamed Sun has an ugly appearance and is known in the capital, Xiao Xie and the others couldn't help but laugh when they thought about him, Xie Bi also laughed and scolded: "Evaluate people's appearance, what heart!" As long as you are handsome, where did Lord Sun provoke you? ”

Yan Yujin snorted, brushed the ground open the folding fan and shook it, and said proudly towards the wall: "Listen, vine spirit tree monsters, if you want to transform, you will change compared to the appearance of this young master, and ensure that after the change, everyone will praise the jade tree in the wind..."

It's okay if it's usual, but at this moment, although he is still a handsome face, his whole body is covered with mud, and his hair is also a messy mess when picking grass roots.

"How can you learn this three-step attitude against the wind for a while?" Xie Bi choked with laughter, and said while coughing, "Let's ask Brother Su to clean up a room for you alone, come and stay for a few more days, and let the spirits of the family take a closer look......

"I don't care about you," Yan Yujin turned his head and said to Mei Changsu with a very serious expression, "The two of them have been jealous of me since childhood, and I am used to it." ”

"Yes," Mei Changsu nodded solemnly, "I also think they are jealous of you." ”

"Let's go back and change clothes," Xiao Jingrui punched his friend, laughed consciously, and felt a lot more comfortable, "The reputation of the No. 1 embroidered pillow in the capital is not easy to come by, at least you have to keep this skin." ”

"Am I obviously repairing both inside and out? You jealous man......" Yan Yujin sighed, and at the same time lowered his head and dusted off the placket of his clothes, who knew that after two dusts, his hand suddenly froze.

"What's wrong?" Mei Changsu immediately noticed something wrong and hurriedly asked.

"Missing ......"

"What's missing?"

"My Cuiyue Jue ......"

"Huh?" Xiao Jingrui and Xie Bi both knew how precious Cui Yuejue was to Yan Yujin, so they all stepped forward, "Will you not bring it out?" ”

"Cui Yuejue is set in this belt, and the belt is still on the waist, why didn't she bring it out? I touched it before I went to look for you......" Yan Yujin said, his face a little pale.

Although Mei Changsu didn't know what treasure they were talking about, looking at everyone's expressions, he also knew that it was extraordinary, and hurriedly said: "It must have fallen off." Let's hurry up and look around the place where you walked out today, but I'm afraid we can still find it. ”

"Yes, yes," Xiao Jingrui echoed, patting his friend's vest and persuading him, "If you can't find it today, don't worry, you will definitely be able to find it back." ”

Yan Yujin was anxious in his heart, and he didn't want to say more, so he turned around and stepped over the back door that was torn to the ground, and re-entered the deserted garden, picking grass and turning stones along the road, looking carefully.

After Mei Changsu whispered to Xiao Jingrui about Cui Yuejue's general appearance, the three of them also bowed down and helped to find it together. Feiliu dangled from a tall tree technique, looking curiously at the scene below that he couldn't understand.

The return trip to the deserted garden took nearly an hour longer than when I came, and all the places I had set foot in my impression were turned upside down, and the garbage turned out in a pile, but there was no trace of jade.

In the end, everyone straightened up their already sore waists and looked at one place at the same time.

The dry well that collapsed among the barren grass.

"It can't be such a coincidence, can it?" Xie Bi said with some trepidation, "It's not easy to find if you want to fall into this well, even if there is no water, I'm afraid there is a thick layer of silt......"

Xiao Jingrui frowned, pushed the second brother with his elbow, turned around and patted Yan Yujin on the shoulder with a smile, and said in a relaxed tone: "It's just a dry well, what's tight, I'll go down now, and I'll find it out for you!" ”

"I'll go down by myself," Yan Yujin understood his kindness and smiled back, "Anyway, my clothes are already dirty, why drag you into the water again......"

"Go," Xiao Jingrui gave him a half-truthful punch, "What are clothes?" It's dark below, my eyesight at night is better than yours, and besides, isn't your eldest young master the most afraid of snakes? In this place where the grass is deep and wet, the most are snakes......"

As soon as the words fell, he received four contemptuous glances from his younger brother and friends, and was a little confused, Mei Changsu said softly beside him: "Jing Rui, it's winter, and the snake is going to hibernate......"

“…… ……”

"Ignore him," Xie Bi glanced at his brother, "I'll go find a rope, no matter who goes down, it must be tied up." As he spoke, he turned around to leave, but was stopped by Mei Changsu.

"Feiliu has already gone to look for it, he moves relatively fast......" As soon as he explained, the young man's figure had already swept over quickly, and he was indeed holding a thick roll of hemp rope in his hand.

Xiao Jingrui reached out first and grabbed it, tying one of them to his waist, Yan Yujin knew that he couldn't see like a blind man as soon as he arrived in the dark, and he was not polite, but he just reached out to help him check whether the knot was firmly tied, and said softly: "Be careful." ”

"Hmm." Xiao Jingrui agreed, and when he turned around, he saw Mei Changsu squatting on the ground pulling dry grass, and couldn't help but ask strangely, "Brother Su, what are you doing?" ”

"Make a small torch with hay and sticks, and you can bring them down."

"No, I can see things clearly at night, and they all say I look like an owl."

Mei Changsu sneered, shook his head and said: "It's not for you to illuminate, this well doesn't look shallow, and the wellhead is covered by weeds, the air flow must be not smooth, and there must be dirty gas below, if you can't continue to burn after you go down, people can't stay for a long time, otherwise it's easy to suffocate." ”

Yan Xie and the others were startled, and hurriedly squatted down together to help pull the weeds, and soon the simple torch was already tied, Mei Changsu took out a small flint from Feiliu's body, lit the torch, Xiao Jingrui was in his hand, and slowly hung down from the well. Xie Bi and Yan Yujin tightly pulled the rope and lowered it down little by little, while Mei Changsu leaned over at the mouth of the well, paying attention to the brightness of the flames at any time.

Since Cui Yuejue is something that can be set on the belt, the volume will not be much bigger, so Xiao Jingrui went down for a long time, only to hear him keep screaming and lowering down, as if he had found nothing.

"Stop, it's the end, the silt is really thick," after a while, Xiao Jingrui's voice came from the well again, and the moss-covered well wall sounded a little deformed, "It's not easy to find, I have to turn over for a while, the grass on the torch is almost burned, don't worry if you see the fire go out......"

"But ......" Yan Yujin bit his lower lip, he was very sorry in his heart, and was about to say more, when he felt a weight on his shoulder, a hand pressed up, looked back, and bumped into Mei Changsu's slightly smiling eyes.

"Don't worry, the flame has been burning steadily, it should be fine."

Looking at his knowing gaze, Yan Yujin couldn't help lowering his gaze and said in a low voice: "Jing Rui...... Ben is the one who loves cleanliness the most......"

"It's just the silt in the well, and it's not that it can't be washed off," Mei Changsu smiled, "He doesn't mind, what do you mind?" That Cui Yuejue is very important to you, right? ”

"Well," Yan Yujin nodded, "That's the family's heirloom thing, the ...... my grandfather gave me before he died."

"So," Mei Changsu smiled slightly, "Helping a good friend find his most important thing is also very important to Jing Rui." ”

Yan Yujin glanced at him deeply, suddenly smiled, and shouted loudly at the mouth of the well: "Jing Rui - it's rare to have a chance to be courteous to me, you work harder——"

"Die!" There was a laughing and scolding voice from below, "Wait for me to come out and wipe you with mud!" ”

Mei Changsu was a little amused by the two, and Xie Bi also shook his head while laughing, and the atmosphere was a little more relaxed for a while. After about half a cup of tea, the following has been shivering, as if nothing has been found.

"Jing Rui, come up if you can't find it, it doesn't have to be a ...... that fell in here," Yan Yujin shouted.

"A little while......" Xiao Jingrui's voice came from the urn, but before the sound fell, the rope suddenly shook, and at the same time, he was heard exclaiming "ah" below.

"What's wrong?" Yan Yujin was shocked, leaned half of his body down, and shouted loudly: "Jing Rui! Jing Rui! ”

The well paused before responding: "Nothing ......"

"What's the hell you're screaming?" Yan Yujin couldn't help but scold, turned his head to Xie Bi and said, "Let's pull him up!" ”

"Don't panic first," Xiao Jingrui hurriedly said to stop, "There are still places that haven't been turned over, and they will ......be fine immediately."

Mei Changsu persuaded softly: "Don't worry, there is something Jing Rui will say." Now that you're down, at least find a clarity. ”

Yan Yujin wrinkled his brows and sat down at the mouth of the well again, and waited for a while before he heard the voice below again: "Pull me up!" ”

Naturally, it was much easier to come up than to go down, and in the blink of an eye, Xiao Jingrui's head popped up, as everyone expected, he was covered in mud, and his hands were also black.

Yan Yujin silently grabbed one of his hands and rubbed it rudely with the inside of his shirt, but Xie Bi asked, "Did you find it?" ”

Xiao Jingrui raised his other black hand, curled his fingers into a fist, and then slowly spread it out, and a small crescent-shaped hard object covered with black mud lay on the palm of his hand.

"yes, it really fell here," Xie Bi took out a handkerchief from his sleeve, wiped Cui Yuejue clean, and handed it to Yan Yujin, who glanced at it silently, reached out to take it back, and put it in his arms.

"It's good to find it, two stinky ghosts, go back and take a shower!" Xie Bi breathed a sigh of relief, and slapped his back on the back.

"Second brother," Xiao Jingrui turned his head and said with a somewhat solemn expression, "Let's go back to take a bath, but I'm going to trouble you to go to Jingzhao Yin Yamen." ”

"Jingzhao Yamen? Do what? Xie Bi didn't understand.

"Report the crime. I saw the mud in the well...... Someone's bones......"

"Huh?" Everyone was taken aback, and Yan Yujin lost his voice and said, "You just called that because you found the bones?" ”

"Hmm."

"Then why don't you hurry up?!"

"I saw a little green light on the dead leaves on the other side. Cui Yuejue is so small, if I come out first to make people raise the corpse, it must not know where it will be turned over, so I want to look for it again, but fortunately it is really it. ”

"Stupid!" Yan Yujin gritted his teeth and scolded, "It stinks to death, take a bath." ”

"Dead well hides corpses...... Xie Bi's face turned slightly pale, "It's weird to hear, you are so bold, you can stay down there for so long...... I would have crawled out a long time ago......"

"Can you compare with Jing Rui? He's half a Jianghu person! Yan Yujin immediately shifted the target of the attack again.

"Yes, I'm the most useless officialdom!" Xie Bi laughed back and shrugged, "Let's go, Brother Su." ”

Xiao Jingrui glared at him strangely, "Where did you call Brother Su to go?" ”

"Go to Jingzhao Yamen to report the case!"

"Can't you just go?"

Xie Bi raised his eyebrows, "Big brother, this garden has now been bought by Brother Su, of course he is the most suitable person to come forward to report the case, right?" ”

"Xie Bi is right," Mei Changsu's eyes swept lightly over the wellhead in the barren grass, "I really should go." ”

Xiao Jingrui also makes sense when he thinks about it, and his whole body is smelly and sticky and very uncomfortable, so he won't say more. A group of five people was divided into two pulls, and after leaving the park, they went their own way.
