A sketch of a camellia has just been completed on a blank piece of paper, and Fluttershy gently enters the door.

"Girl, are you awake, are you hungry, the slave and maid are going to prepare food."

Ling Lan shook her head silently, signaling that she didn't need to.

Seeing this, Fluttershy slowly approached, "Girl, adults have been here before, and when you see that you are still asleep, you will go back for a while." ”

"What is he here for?" Ling Lan perfected the camellia on the paper and asked without raising her head.

"I didn't say that."

After a pause, she sighed!

"Girl, what are you drawing?"

Ling Lan was sketching petals from memory, responding that it was a camellia.

Fluttershy tilts her head to take a closer look, and laughs, "That's the camellia!" The slave maid had heard of it before, but it was the first time I saw it, and it was quite good-looking. ”

"What have you heard?"

"The slave maid heard that in addition to the pavilion master, there are several hall masters in Yunshui Pavilion, who are in charge of different fields, and it is said that these people have a camellia tattooed on their wrists, the black one is very mysterious, and it is also a symbol of status, but it is just a legend that the slave maid has not seen it with her own eyes and is not sure." Fluttershy reminisces.

It was originally a casual inquiry, but I didn't expect to get such a reply.

"You mean, the hall master of Yunshui Pavilion has a black camellia on his wrist?"

Fluttershy was taken aback when she suddenly raised her eyes and asked, "Yes, yes!" The slave did hear about it, what's wrong girl? ”

Ling Lan shook her head, it really didn't take any effort to get it, it was actually related to Yunshui Pavilion?

Thinking that the last case involved Yunshui Pavilion, which seemed to be closely related to Guan Liang of the Changsheng Gambling House, she had a plan in her heart.

"I'm hungry."

Fluttershy can't keep up with him, and nods her head in a daze, before she can think about it, and immediately goes out to get ready to eat.

Ling Lan got up, thought for a moment and threw the piece of paper into the trash.

She slept for a long time this time, it was already afternoon outside, Ling Lan calmed down to deal with the remaining trivial matters on the side of the store, and by the way, she explained some things to Sister Qiao, and asked her to recruit a few sensible and diligent girls to do things.

Sister Qiao listened carefully to the quick record, and then said with some uncertainty: "Girl, there are some things that slaves and maids are afraid of not doing well." ”

"You just do it boldly, and if something goes wrong, I'll have it! I trust you and will do a good job, and you will get along with Fluttershy while I'm away, and she'll be a good helper. ”

Sister Qiao took a deep breath and nodded vigorously.

"By the way, I see that there are a lot of homeless and begging children on the street, and when the store is on the right track, you can find a house with a larger yard nearby, rent or buy it, settle them, and find a suitable teacher to teach them to read and write."

Hearing her words, Sister Qiao was stunned.

Ling Lan chuckled: "I'm just telling you to pay attention to it first, as for the implementation, you still need to wait, at least until we have enough silver, so you have to work hard to earn silver." ”

Because of her health, Sister Qiao has never had any children of her own, so her love for children can be imagined, every time she sees those poor begging children, she is sad, but because of her limited ability, she can only be secretly sad, she didn't expect Ling Lan to have such thoughts, which made her full of emotion and gratitude.

"Please rest assured, the slave will definitely work hard."

Ling Lan raised her hand and patted her shoulder: "I said that I would change the title, as long as you do what I said and work hard, there will be no problem." ”

After explaining most of the matters, Ling Lan said that she went out and walked outside.

She needs to breathe in and make plans for the next step.

On Guan Liang's side, she is confident that she can get the news she wants, but Guan Liang's identity is always a mystery, will she be surprised?

If the main person behind the destruction of the Ling Mansion before she started knew that she was investigating something, wouldn't it be cool before she started?

It's not that she's cowardly and afraid, but she can determine one thing from the current clues of this matter, that person must be in a high position and belong to the existence that can cover the sky with one hand in Linyang City, otherwise the many lives of Ling Mansion died tragically under the sword, but everyone thought that he died in the fire, which is completely reversing black and white.

Thinking about stepping into the flow of people, as others walked down the street, the thoughts in my mind went from complex to clear, and ideas soon came to mind.

The goal is clear, and she can only use the few clues she has to investigate more information.

"Miss Ling, Miss Ling." A familiar shout suddenly came from behind him, and he turned around and couldn't help but be surprised, this was really a coincidence.

Ben was still thinking of finding a reason to find the other party tomorrow, but he didn't send it to the door himself now.

She looked at Guan Liang, who was standing outside the door of Xiangnian Hall, and strode back.

"It's good to be in time, otherwise I would have missed it." Guan Liang was very happy.

After a few steps, Ling Lan suppressed all the thoughts in her heart, returned to her normal state and stepped forward with a smile: "Why is Guan Gongzi here?" ”

Guan Liang looked at her and the smile in his eyes couldn't help but deepen a little: "Didn't I hear that you moved out from Master Mo, so come over and see if you need anything?" But looking at your face, isn't it uncomfortable to live here? ”

I didn't expect the other party to be so direct, and I didn't even need a reason.

"Thank you Guan Gongzi for your concern, it's very comfortable to live here, but I've been too busy recently."

"That's good, since you're standing here, don't you invite me in and sit?" Guan Liang looked at the closed door beside him.

Ling Lan chuckled, quickly raised her hand and knocked on the door, inviting the other party in.

After entering the door, Guan Liang looked around with great interest, and walked around the house a few times in admiration.

"Miss Ling is really amazing, this shop is unique, many of them are so novel and unprecedented."

"It's all gadgets, it's Guan Gongzi who praised it."

Guan Liang waved his hand: "This is not a gadget, look at this shelf that can be turned, and this exquisite chandelier..."

The other party said a lot this time, from the paintings on the wall to the ornaments, including the existence of the rest area, etc., Ling Lan motioned for Sister Qiao to make tea, feeling that his mouth was dry.

Ling Lan went from being absent-minded at the beginning to being positive, the man was more careful than he imagined, his observation was subtle, the language logic was clear and organized, and the knowledge level was rich, the more they chatted, the more speculative they became, and finally from the incense burner to the poetry and songs, they couldn't stop at all.

During the chat, the strangeness and alienation between the two gradually disappeared, and they seemed to have known each other for a long time, and there were endless topics.

Of course, Ling Lan has a certain amount of selfishness, and when the topic changes, when it comes to flowers, she naturally mentions camellias.

As a result, he didn't expect that Guan Liang was very happy and didn't hesitate at all, and mentioned Yunshui Pavilion.

Same as Fluttershy's description, the gist of Guan Liang's narration is the same, but in more detail and richer.

"Yunshui Pavilion, I've heard many times that I'm also curious about this mysterious organization, and I feel that the pavilion master is an interesting temperament." She pondered and guessed.

Obviously surprised by her words, Guan Liang was interested: "I don't know why Miss Ling said that?" ”
