At this time, he had already eaten dinner, Fu Jiuqu went straight to see Yi Nian and Er Nian reading, and San Nian also followed in.

When Xin Yi entered the house, he saw the little guy sent by Du Zhongqing fidgeting in the courtyard, so he stepped back and asked with a smile.

"Has the little brother eaten?"

The little guy had already been hungry for the food of the Xin Yi family, so he swallowed a mouthful of saliva when he heard the words, and smiled embarrassedly.

"Not yet, shopkeeper Du will send someone to bring me food later."

"Hmm~" Xin Yi remembered that when they had lunch, this little brother didn't eat it, obviously he didn't have that meal.

The day in March is said to be spring, but it is still cold, cold and hungry, where can I stand it?

She didn't say much, and went into the house and asked Xiang Ling to pour a big bowl of the rest of the meal and bring it to the little brother.

After a long time, Xiang Ling came back with an empty bowl and snorted and laughed: "At first, I politely refused to ask for it, but then I ate it in a big gulp, as if I had been hungry for hundreds of years......"

Xin Yi: "Everyone has difficulties, don't laugh at others." ”

"It's not a joke about him, I'm angry with that Du Zhongqing."

Xiang Ling has a prejudice against Du's shopkeeper, he put the bowl heavily on the table, and his voice was sour, "I don't know how many treasures are hidden in his house, for fear that others will steal him, I can't trust us, find a small guy to sit there and guard the ......"

Xin Yi smiled and shook his head, but did not speak.

Pour the hot tea into the bowl and head inside with the tray.

Fu Jiuqu sat at the table to check the schoolwork of the first and second thoughts, and the two children sat honestly, holding a book in both hands and reciting it one by one. Ernian didn't make a fuss, grabbed the pen and wrote seriously.

This picture is inexplicably warm, and Xin Yi unconsciously slowed down.

"The king of the county drinks tea."

Fu Jiuqu is very fond of the medicinal tea of the Xin Yi family, and he can't tell why, obviously the taste is not so good, but when it is poured into the throat, it has a sweet taste. Or because of the combination of medicinal materials, after drinking, the whole person is refreshed and can never forget it.

The room is quiet and quiet.

The sound of reading, the sound of tea, mixed into one.

Xin Yi waited for Fu Jiuqu to drink, pouted, and whispered:

"How?"

Fu Jiuqu nodded, his gaze swept over Ernian, "Not bad." ”

Ernian looked at her aggrievedly: "Mother, I can't read well." Uncle Fu asked me to transcribe it ten times......"

He flicked his wrist, and the black dots danced everywhere, but his small mouth pouted.

"I can't write ten times until tomorrow."

Xin Yi was a little amused, "Then you just shut up, concentrate on copying, and don't concentrate on two things." ”

Ernian snorted lowly, observing his words and feelings, "Uncle Fu said that I am like a father, not for reading, but my bones are strange, and I am suitable for practicing martial arts...... To gain fame, I have my own big brother to do it, and I can still protect my mother if I practice martial arts well...... That being the case, why don't you let me practice martial arts, and force me to read this Raushzi book every day? I can't memorize it, and I write like a dragon crawling on the ground...... I dozed off when I saw my husband......"

"Why aren't you reading material?" Xin Yi couldn't cry or laugh, "Don't talk about laziness so freshly and refinedly. Even if you don't take the test for fame in the future, you must give me a good study like a big brother......"

"Why?" The second thought was puzzled, "I don't take the fame test, why do I want to study?" ”

"Let you study not to gain fame, but to let you understand etiquette and things, and stand on the shoulders of sages to think. Where you can't go with your feet, you can go to reading; What the eye can't see, you can see when you read a book; Diseases that can't be cured by medicine can be treated by reading. The meaning of reading is the meaning of life, and reading is the only equal enjoyment between you and the nobles. You don't just have to read, you have to live to be old, read to old ......"

"Ah~ still want to read to the old?"

Ernian didn't understand anything, and looked at her with his mouth wide open, his face full of despair.

Yinian stopped the sound of reading, "Reading will also make people happy." ”

Xin Yi smiled: "That's right. ”

Fu Jiuqu narrowed his eyes slightly, and his gaze fell lightly on Xin Yi's body, thoughtfully.

Xin Yi praised his thoughts, picked up the tray and was about to go out, when he heard Er Nian sniff.

"Mother, what's the sound?"

Several people were stunned, and Xin Yi looked at him quietly.

"No sounds, huh?"

"Yes." Ernian plucked his ears, "I heard you." ”

At least for a moment, there was a sudden scream from outside.

Xin Yi put down the tray and ran out, Fu Jiuqu instructed the scholar and Duan Sui to look at the two brothers, and quickly got up and walked out.

The lover was in the room, and he was so angry that he looked red.

Xin Yi: "What's wrong?" ”

The lover held a skirt in his hand and looked anxiously at the mess all over the ground.

"Sister, I don't know who it is...... Stealing my little clothes, and the freshly washed skirt also has messy finger prints, you see......"

The term "small clothes" here refers to the close-fitting trousers.

Last time Xin Yi made spring clothes, she specially asked Tailor Feng to make a vest and pants according to her own design, which was more convenient for women.

The lover cherishes it very much, and every time he will carefully wash it and dry it on the bamboo pole in the backyard corridor. But now people are coming and going, and there is a small servant of the Du family guarding the courtyard, so Xiang Ling received all the clothes into the house.

didn't think about it, when she entered the house, her clothes were turned upside down, not to mention, her clothes that had not yet been put on were stolen.

Who will steal the girl's household things?

Moreover, only stole hers, not Xiangling.

Xiang Ling heard the voice and came over, "Sister, could it be a buddy?" Loved my sister ......"

"Phew!" The lover blushed, "Little hoof, what are you talking about?" Where there is a truth that you like people to steal and steal clothes......"

"But it's not a buddy, so who else could it be?"

Xiang Ling asked puzzled.

People come and go in the pharmacy every day, but no one comes in the backyard, and today...... Except for Cao Yi and Fu Jiuqu, they are their attendants.

These people, Xin Yi has gone through it in his mind, and they don't look like they can steal his beloved's clothes.

"When did you find out that the coat had been stolen?"

The lover shook his head, "I took a nap at noon today and went out, and I have been busy in the afternoon, and I just had to go back to the house empty......"

As she spoke, she looked at Xiang Ling, who hurriedly shook her head.

"I don't either, it's none of my business, you're so much taller and stronger than me, and I can't wear your little clothes...... It must have been Lang Jun who came to steal it......"

"Who is tall and strong, and who is strong? Dead hooves—"

The lover hated Xiang Ling the most, saying that she was as tall and strong as a man's family, so when he heard the words, he went to pinch him. Xiang Ling giggled, kept dodging and drinking, saying that Lang Jun had taken a fancy to his lover.

Xin Yi watched the two girls play and took the dress from her beloved.

The fingerprints mentioned by the lover are not very obvious, and if you don't look closely, they are like some yellow mud stained.

Xin Yi looked at it for a moment, leaned to the tip of his nose, and sniffed.

After a pause, he sniffed deeply again......

This action shocked the lover and Xiang Ling, stopped, and looked at her in surprise.

Xin Yi asked thoughtfully: "Is there anything else stolen from our house this time?" ”

The lover shook his head.

Xiang Ling collected his face, stopped laughing, as if he remembered something, and suddenly said:

"Things weren't stolen, but the leftovers I kept in the stove were often stolen...... I thought it was Cheng Biting Jin who did it, so I didn't tell my sister, but now that I think about it, it's a little strange, Cheng Biting Jin has the delicious dog food made by his sister, how can he covet that bit of leftovers? ”

Xin Yi's brows furrowed slightly, comforted his beloved, and took out his skirt.

Fu Jiuqu saw Xin Yi hurriedly enter the girl's house, so he didn't follow up.

At this time, Xin Yi went out and saw him on the edge of the wall, walking and stopping, as if he was carefully observing something, Sun Huai followed beside him, cautiously, and in the wall of Du Zhongqing's house, the little guy stood in fear, and he didn't dare to come out.

Xin Yi stood under the eaves and called out to him.

"The King of the County."

Fu Jiuqu turned his head, glanced at him, straightened up, knocked his palm on a green brick that had not yet fallen, and walked over slowly, "What happened?" ”

Xin Yi handed over the dress and briefly explained the theft in the house.

"The county king, look at this?"

Fu Jiuqu frowned and didn't pick it up.

"This mudra." Xin Yi turned out the position of the finger marks and showed them in front of Fu Jiuqu, "According to the experience of King Jun, is this a woman's hand?" ”

Fu Jiuqu subconsciously glanced at Xin Yi's little hand.

"I have no experience."

Burst! Xin Yi guessed that his words made him misunderstand, so he was in a hurry to clear it up, after all, the king of Guangling still wanted to set up a villain.

She cleared her throat, "I mean, the Imperial City Division has investigated countless cases and has its own set of experience with evidence. ”

Fu Jiuqu squinted his eyes and looked at it for a long time, then hesitated, "The woman's hand." ”

Xin Yi's eyes showed a gleam, "That's what I mean." However, there are only a few women in the shop, and they are all trustworthy, and I have made them the same style of small clothes and coats, and I have never treated them badly, and I will never steal them......"

Fu Jiuqu frowned and pointed to the marks on his skirt.

"This woman's finger is either broken or ...... Wear a ring. ”

Xin Yi's eyebrows lit up in an instant.

None of the women in the pharmacy fit this characteristic.

"Looks like it's her."

"She?" Fu Jiuqu frowned, "Who is it?" ”

Xin Yi smiled in his eyes, "The king of the county tonight, can you stay overnight?" ”

Fu Jiuqu's face changed slightly, and his eyes narrowed to look at her. Immediately afterwards, I saw Xin Yi curling his lips with a smile.

"Help me be a witness. I'm going to catch demons. ”

------Off topic------

I had a cold today, coughing, sneezing constantly, and my throat was sore ...... The most important thing is that the whole person is drowsy, and his brain seems to be clouded by someone, and he is in a trance......... Ahhh

Fu Jiuqu: Just say it straight and let the sisters praise you.

Xin Yi: Thank you, obviously to comfort.

Erjin: Ahem, cough, cough...... The two of you are right, don't make any noise, it's dark, go to sleep.

Fu Jiuqu: Staying overnight?

ps: Regarding the paragraph on housing prices, Erjin checked some information, but today's brain is too muddy, and there are some information contradictions, so I wrote a rough ......
