Chapter 59: A Glimpse
He Qingxiao turned around when he heard this, and looked over with a calm expression.
Xin Yu walked closer and lowered his voice: "Lord He, I see that your Yin Hall is black, and I am afraid that there will be a bloody disaster......
He Qingxiao: "......"
"Lord He?" Sensing that He Qingxiao was distracted, Xin Yu called out.
He Qingxiao came back to his senses, coughed with his fist to his lips, and made an excuse at random: "I'm sorry, I suddenly thought of a case." What did Miss Kou just say? β
"I said that Lord He is afraid that there will be a bloody disaster, and you must pay attention to the perpetrators when handling the case." The pomelo is colorful.
In the scene just now, she saw He Qingxiao leading his men down to arrest someone, and the person who was arrested suddenly pulled out of his sleeve and stabbed him in the abdomen.
Blood splattered instantly.
Xin Yu looked at the man in front of him and shook his head slightly.
It is said that to be able to sit in the position of Jinlinwei Zhenfu, martial arts are passable, and the reaction of Lord Ma He that day was also good, but why is he not very bright in the picture every time?
But there are always times when people are careless.
Xin Yu found a reason.
Looking at the girl with a serious look, He Qingxiao was in a delicate mood.
There was a reminder beforehand, he didn't doubt Miss Kou's words, but if Miss Kou was so proficient in physiognomy, I am afraid that he would hear the words "Lord He is afraid of a bloody disaster" from time to time in the future.
He Qingxiao has found that his luck is a little bad since he was a child, and all kinds of accidents emerge one after another, but fortunately, after practicing martial arts, his reaction is flexible, and his mentality has also been tempered, but it is rare to see blood again, and it is also unlucky for others not to notice him.
He Qingxiao sorted out her delicate mood and thanked her quietly: "Thank you Miss Kou for reminding me, I will be careful." β
"Master He, walk slowly."
Seeing He Qingxiao away, Xin Yu also walked out of the bookstore.
The evening in the capital is very lively, and it is the time when the teahouse restaurant is served.
Xin Yu walked through the streets and alleys and came to Ji Xiang Fang.
Ji Cailan and Zhou Ningyue are cousins, and Ji Cailan's mother is the sister of Zhou Ningyue's father. After Zhou's father was transferred to the capital, he rented a house in Jixiangfang because of his sister's relationship.
Ji and Zhou are in Jixiangfang, and Xin Yu came here for Zhou Ningyue.
She wanted to see what Zhou Ningyue looked like.
Smoke rises from each house, the aroma of food wafts in the wind, and the shouts of children coming home to eat are heard from time to time.
Xin Yu looked around and found a large tree.
The trunk of the tree was straight and smooth, and it was nearly two feet above the ground before the crown of the tree grows. Such a tree almost eliminates the possibility of ordinary people climbing up, but fortunately, it is not a big problem for Xinyu.
Xinyu quietly climbed the tree, covered by lush branches and leaves, looking down on a dwelling.
This is a one-entry house, with a main house, an inverted seat room, and an east and west wing room, and it can be speculated that the Zhou family is a medium family with a simple population.
In the courtyard, a man dressed as a maidservant was collecting clothes, smoke curled in the kitchen, and a cat could be seen lazily lying on the steps.
Xin Yu watched patiently.
Xu was lucky, and after waiting for a while, he suddenly heard a voice coming.
"Amberβ"
The cat on the steps moved, and continued to lie on its stomach.
It didn't take long for a young girl to walk out of the west chamber and go straight to the steps outside the main room.
"You shouldn't be called at you, you won't be lazy." The girl bent down and picked up the cat, rubbed the cat's head in dissatisfaction, and turned to walk towards the west wing.
Xin Yu was condescending, and finally saw the girl's appearance clearly.
With a round face and almond eyes, skin like snow, you can't see that your legs and feet are inconvenient just by walking.
Could this be Zhou Ningyue?
Xin Yu thinks it should be.
At this time, there was a sudden knock on the door, and the girl holding the cat paused and looked at the courtyard gate.
Soon a girl carrying a basket walked in from the screen door, it was Ji Cailan.
"My cousin is here." Seeing Ji Cailan, the girl had a smile on her face.
Ji Cailan raised the basket in her hand: "My mother made some osmanthus cakes and asked me to send them." β
The tree where Xin Yu was hiding was not next to the wall of the Zhou family's courtyard, and there was even some distance, but this tree was extremely tall and looked far away, and Xin Yu's ears were good, so he heard the conversation between the two clearly, so he was sure that the round-faced girl was Zhou Ningyue.
"Cousin, have you finished reading "Painted Skin"? Looks good, right? β
Zhou Ningyue nodded: "It's good-looking, cousin help me buy a copy and come back, I can look through it from time to time." β
"My cousin likes it so much, I'll go buy it with you. Let me tell you, Qingsong Bookstore has changed owners, and she is a girl about the same age as us, so she is a good person......"
Zhou Ningyue looked a little moved, but shook her head: "It's still not good, it's so troublesome to go out." β
"Cousin, go ahead, go ahead, your legs are all right, you can't stay out all the time."
"I always feel uncomfortable walking."
"That's your delusion. Okay, I'll come to you tomorrow, let's go to Qingsong Bookstore together......"
Xin Yu watched the two cousins walk into the main room, and the courtyard fell silent.
Ji Cailan seemed to have been left to eat, and it took a while before she came out of the main room and was sent to the gate of the courtyard by Zhou Ningyue.
It was dark, mosquitoes were flying around, and Xin Yu waited for a while without seeing any movement, and took advantage of the night to cover the tree and returned to the Qingsong Bookstore.
The bookstore was closed, and Xin Yu entered the east courtyard directly from the corner gate, and saw Xiaolian walking back and forth.
"Girl, you're back!" Seeing Xin Yu, Xiaolian's eyes burst with joy.
"Something at home?"
"It's fine. It's just that it's dark and I haven't seen you come back, and the maid is a little worried. β
When she was serving Xin Yu to take a bath, when she saw the red envelopes bitten by mosquitoes on her body, Xiaolian couldn't help but mutter: "Where have you been, why did you bite the bag?" β
"Just wait and apply a swelling ointment." Xin Yu didn't think that she would be able to see Zhou Ningyue tomorrow without any accident, and she was in a good mood.
A girl from other places has a book for sale in the capital, and she speculated that this girl is a person who loves to read books.
What is certain is that this girl has entered Beijing with her family, so when a bookstore sells books that are very popular, there is a great possibility that this girl will come to buy books. Even if you don't come to buy "Painted Skin", sooner or later you will come to buy something else.
For Xin Yu, the sooner she finds this girl, the better. Zhou Ningyue's surfaced and made her feel that her luck was not so bad.
For the first time, Xin Yu fell asleep in a hurry, looking forward to the arrival of tomorrow.
Early the next morning, Xin Yu went to the front bookstore.
Liu Zhou and Shi were still wiping the table and sweeping the floor, and they were a little surprised to see Xin Yu coming.
"It's so early today."
"Nothing else, let's see if there are many guests."
"Then you're early, why don't you have to wait more than half an hour to come?" Although Liu Zhou said this, his mood was beautiful.
Business has been so good lately, if you change to before, you may not have customers in the afternoon.
"Really?" Xin Yu's eyes turned to the door.
Liu Zhou looked at He Qingxiao, who walked in early in the morning, and then looked at Xin Yu, the fire of gossip was lit.
The owner and Lord He have made an appointment!
