"Pei Min, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites?! Lao Tzu has no grievances with his family in the past, and there is no enmity in the near future, why did he do such a death to my daughter behind his back! ”

Although Chang Kuo is stubborn and a little reckless, he is not a brainless person, and he shook his head after scolding: "No...... That's still not right! ”

Although it is not defeated by the Cui family, the Pei family is also a big family, what is the reason to attack a little girl?

But this just confirms a point...... It's a big snake, indeed.

"Even if it may not be Pei Min-" Chang Suining took the letter and looked down as he pondered: "But since the courtyard here is his, the murderer must also be the person who is very close to him." ”

Yu Zeng probably also thought about this, so the letter wrote a detailed list of Pei Min's cronies and his family children.

It is worthy of being the master of the Pei family, who is responsible for the heavy responsibility of spreading the branches and leaves, although this Pei Min is sixty years old, but his son is only ten years old, so it can also be seen that he has many children.

Chang Kuo obviously noticed this, and a pair of thick eyebrows frowned: "This old thing is not idle......

In front of the child, the rest of the words are not good.

"We need to find out as soon as possible!" Chang Kuo said, called the white steward, handed over the list, and explained: "...... Be meticulous and don't let go of any clues and suspicious places. ”

The white steward responded and retreated to arrange the matter.

Chang Kuo was not idle, took Chang Sui'an to the study, and before leaving, he explained to Chang Suining: "Now that you have eyebrows, you can recuperate with peace of mind, and leave the rest to Daddy and your brother!" ”

Chang Suining nodded on the surface, but his inner thoughts did not stop.

Back in the courtyard, she asked Xi'er some old things about "herself", trying to find some clues from them.

Pei Jia......

Chang Sui Ning stood by the window and was distracted.

Could it be that Pei Shi knows something?

But even so, why did Pei Min want to kill Ah Li?

And buy murder, this kind of behavior...... The dignified head of the Pei family, how could he use such a means?

Buying a murderer is an extraneous move, not to mention choosing a scholar like Zhou Ding, who does not guarantee that he will be able to succeed, although he can use it to blame once the incident happens, but if it is Pei Min's doing, it seems that this family owner is really not clever.

All in all, the people behind this have means, but not many - at least not the means that Pei Min can use.

Who would that be?

Thinking of the dense names of people he had just seen, Chang Suining only felt like a mess.

At this time, Que'er walked in with an extra invitation in her hand.

Seeing that her girl was holding her arms to the window, Que'er bowed silently and handed the post to Xi'er as usual.

When he was about to retreat, he saw the girl who was originally facing the window turn around, and her eyes fell on Xi'er's hand: "What?" ”

It was an ordinary two-word question, but it made Que'er inexplicably nervous, and hurriedly replied: "Back girl, it's an invitation to the flower party." ”

"Flower Society?" Chang Suining's eyes moved slightly.

"Yes, girl, it's spring, and the ladies of all the provinces have begun to hold flower-viewing banquets." Xi'er said: "It's just that the girl has never liked to join in the fun, and these posts were sent aside, and there were two more a few days ago." ”

These ladies send posts, pay attention to rain and dew, although their own girls are not among the best among the noble girls in Beijing, but they are also ranked first, and they have never fallen behind when they send posts.

It's just that the girl has hardly ever been there, and these invitations have always been just a formality.

"Pick the one that is the most presentable and the most lively." The girl by the window said, "We'll go by then." ”

Xi'er was stunned, but she didn't ask much, answered "yes", looked at the invitation in her hand, and said, "If you talk about the most lively, it may be this one." ”

Chang Suining stretched out his hand.

Xi'er handed over the post.

This flower post is made very exquisitely, the water ripple dark pattern paper, smoked with precious incense, hairpin flower small Kai neat and beautiful.

But these are not the point, the point is on the person who posted -

"Duchess Zheng Guo's garden flower viewing banquet is very famous, it has been held for many years, and almost all the powerful families in Beijing will go to the banquet whenever they have leisure."

Xi'er was afraid that her own girl would not remember the Duchess Zheng Guo, nor would she remember this flower-viewing banquet, so she explained on the side.

"......" Chang Suining silently closed the invitation, with a complicated sigh in his heart.

How could she have forgotten her only former close friend?

It's time to see the old man again.

- with this small figure that was a full seven years younger when she died, but a whole generation younger than her former peers.

……

The day before the flower-viewing and garden banquet of Duchess Zheng Guo was the day when Chang Kuo and Cui Jing entered the palace to face the saints.

The army triumphed, including the Yuan Palace, the Holy Book Emperor Long Yan Dayue.

Chang Kuo has not yet returned to the house, and there are already chamberlains who have sent carts of rich rewards to the Xingningfang General's Mansion, attracting many onlookers.

Chang Kuo was not in the mansion, so naturally it was the white steward Chu Xing and others who took the Chang family brothers and sisters to receive the thanks.

Listening to the chamberlain chanting the oracle of praise loudly, and looking at the reward that was about to be filled in the front yard, Chang Sui Ning bowed his head with everyone to thank him.

After the chamberlain left, the white steward asked Chang Suining with a smile: "The girl will see if there is something she likes, and if there is, she will send it to the girl's courtyard." ”

This is the custom of the house, if you get a reward or something good, whatever can enter the eyes of the daughter's house, it must be given to the girl, and if the girl does not like it, she will accept it.

There is no second female dependant on the left and right houses.

Chang Sui Ning also said: "Yes, sister, do you see if there is a closed eye." ”

Chang Suining glanced at it: "No need, since it is a gift from the emperor, it is better to take it to the treasury and place it properly." ”

With that, he left the antechamber.

"Ning Ning, where are you going?" Chang Suian hurriedly followed.

"Martial arts arena."

"Huh? I have to practice again...... Why don't I accompany you? ”

The brother and sister walked towards the martial arts arena together.

On the road, the girl's feet walked extremely fast.

Chang Sui An inexplicably felt that his sister was a little unhappy, although he didn't understand why, but he didn't dare to ask more, so he could only say something casually: "...... In fact, except for this battle with the Nanban, Daddy has not been on the battlefield for many years, and our house has not been rewarded by a saint for many years. ”

Chang Suining's feet suddenly slowed down: "It's because of ...... Leg injury? ”

"Sort of." Speaking of this old incident, Chang Suian's tone was rarely a little heavy: "Daddy's leg disease was left over from the battle with Beidi twelve years ago...... At that time, my sister was still young, and she still didn't remember, my eldest sister was two years old, so she had a vague impression, and I heard Uncle Chu and them secretly say——"

"I heard that in that battle, Daddy somehow killed Red Eyes, attacked on the battlefield as if he was dying, he couldn't listen to persuasion at all, and he personally led his henchmen to raid several times, and finally won the battle, and Daddy was also seriously injured...... And after that, the Beidi Khan surrendered and sued for peace, and he should not fight again, but Ah Dad was not ordered by the imperial court, and he personally cut off the head of the Beidi Khan in front of 100,000 soldiers of Xuance! ”
