Xie Jiang is worthy of being able to walk sideways in the imperial capital.

How to mingle with the girl in the painting boat is a piece of cake for him.

I went for a few days in a row, spent the money given by Gu Ci, ordered a few small songs, ate a few expensive and outrageous dim sum, and asked some gossip that Xu Taishou couldn't ask.

For example, Zi'er is gentle, and the girls in the painting boat like her very much, and her popularity is good. But it's really good enough to know the cold and the hot, but there is only one girlfriend named Xiaolian.

Xiaolian is a very introverted little girl in the painting boat.

doesn't talk much, even if it's Xie Jiang, he would never have imagined that he could hit a wall in front of that kind of little girl. The girl looked introverted, but she was also alert, she couldn't say anything, she should be well-behaved in saying anything, and when it came to Zi'er's matter, she couldn't say a word.

But who is Xie Jiang, he was stunned to make up a tragic story of "I have a friend who has been secretly interested in Miss Zi'er for many years, and now he is getting thinner and thinner because of his lovesickness, and his time is running out".

The little girl has the most no resistance to the stories that only exist in these picture books.

It didn't take long for him to speak.

Zi'er does have a man who has a "good relationship", and he is the only man Zi'er has brought to that house. Once I accidentally mentioned it, saying that it was a fellow countryman, and even ate and lived with her almost for a while.

Zi'er actually rarely mentions the affairs of her hometown, especially in the past two years, and she is even more tight-lipped and secretive.

is because of this fellow, Xiaolian also knows very little, only knows the surname Shen, and the number of times she sees it later is not much, there are two or three times a year, and each time she lives for a month. Before every time she came, Zi'er was looking forward to it, like a little girl who was just beginning to fall in love, but after that, the mood was not as good as day by day.

I can't say what it feels like, it's like being depressed and irritable.

……

These are all words that Xie Jiang used a tragic story from Xiaolian, and he was quite complacent about this, and even a little carried away. That...... He forgot that there was a Gu Qi sitting across from him.

After all, Gu Ci just listened quietly and didn't have any sense of existence throughout the whole process, and only then did he mention casually, "In this way, that Xiaolian girl is not a very tight-mouthed person...... A story was deceived. ”

Xie Jiang was really proud, and he was full of spirit written on his eyebrows - after all, it was the first time that he found that he had a talent for investigating cases.

So, with the purpose of resolutely not letting a well-deceived opponent appear to be effortless, Xie Xiaogongzi waved his hand, and the folding fan inlaid with gold and jade brought a wave of broken light, "Hey, didn't you go to the painting boat a few days ago, I said, it's the one who was originally a tiger's back, but now you see, a gust of wind can blow ...... ......"

The latter words, swallowed back.

But it's too late.

"I have been secretly thinking about Miss Zi'er for many years, and now I am getting thinner and thinner" Gu Gongzi, his eyebrows and eyes were warm, and there was a faint smile at the bottom of his eyes, he took a sip of tea, put the teacup down gently, and raised his eyes to look at Xie Jiang.

Xie Jiang chuckled in his heart and jumped up in fright.

Half an hour later, Xie Jiang watched a letter from "Xie Lao personally enlightened", which was personally carried by Gu Ci's subordinates and went on the road. The letter was quite long, and most of the time he greeted Mr. Xie as a junior.

Occasionally, a few sentences are interspersed, such as "Gongzi Xie is all right, he is like a fish in water in Taihe County, chic and happy." ”

For example, "Gongzi Xie fell in love with a small round in a place where Yingge Yan Dance was not lively, and he went there every day." ”

It is indeed true......

However, Xie Jiang also knew that when Gu Ci said this, the old man would not believe in any small rounds, he would only think that these words were Gu Ci's excuse for the last bit of face for his grandson! A small round worth eating every day? Xie Xiaogongzi suddenly felt that the old injury on his buttocks from a few months ago began to ache faintly again.

Gu Ci's subordinates, especially those who could be brought to Taihe County by him, had outstanding martial arts, relying on Xie Jiang's three-legged cat kung fu...... Can't stop it.

Xie Jiang, who scratched his ears and cheeks on the side and didn't coax Gu Gongzi for half an hour, rubbed to Shi Huan with a begging face, but Miss Shi seemed to think it was very interesting, she supported her chin and smiled Yan Yan, she didn't have the slightest intention of wanting to rescue, "I heard that the Xie family is strict in governing the family, I also want to see what kind of strict method it is......"

Yes, Miss Shi has learned badly.

Gu Ci smiled and said casually, "I guess it's a matter of a few meals." ”

Xie Xiaogongzi's face stiffened, only to feel that the old injury on his buttocks was getting more and more serious, pulled the corners of his mouth, twisted his body, and opened the topic, "What about Xu Binyuan?" Why don't you see others? ”

Xu Binyuan is the daimyo of Xu Taishou.

Gu Ci has often come to Shi's house these days through the case of the painting boat, in the end, this case has nothing to do with Shi Huan, at most, she went to the painting boat that day and saw the family letter, she just said a few words casually.

After that, whenever there were clues about this case, Xu Taishou would always talk to Shi Huan, and gradually, it seemed as if several of them were investigating the case together. Even Hanyan, who has been going out early and returning late these days, knows that his young lady has been busy investigating cases recently.

In the past two days, there has been another Xie Jiang.

"Said that the person sent to Zi'er's hometown has returned. Xu Taishou was anxious and had to go outside the city to answer. Gu Ci stretched out his hand and poured the half cup of tea that had not been touched in front of Shi Huan for a long time, replaced it with new tea, and then continued, "Xu is delayed on the road." ”

Xu Taishou waited at the agreed gate of Dongcheng for about half an hour, but he didn't wait for his subordinates who should have appeared a long time ago, and a bad premonition gradually enveloped his heart.

Just as he was about to go out to take a look, he heard the sound of horses' hooves behind him, and the voice of his subordinates came, "My lord! My lord! Eight hundred miles expedited! ”

Kankan's steps back were retracted.

……

The imperial capital is here.

The messenger ran eight hundred miles and killed many horses to deliver the letters. But people go slowly, and it will be about five or six days before they come.

When the emperor heard that Taifu was about to return to the imperial capital after the New Year, he specially sent the second prince Gu Yansheng and Shen Pan, the recently hot young talent of the Ministry of Rites, to come over.

Gu Yansheng is the queen's own son and grandson of the Taifu, and it is naturally the most appropriate for him to take over this journey.

After arranging a matter of affairs, Mrs. Xu of the family took the time to come and poured several cups of hot tea in a row, before he could be regarded as gasping for breath, and answered Xie Xiaogongzi's question about who Shen Pan was, "The waiter of the Ministry of Rites who was just mentioned a few months ago is young, good-looking, and lively, and he is very hot, and Xia Guan has also heard of it in a place like Taihe County, but Xie Xiaogongzi doesn't know?" ”

Speaking of the imperial capital, Xie Jiang felt that his butt hurt, so he was so angry that he spoke, "It's just a waiter, it's worth my attention?" ”
