"What kind of person is the painter?" Xin Yu asked.

Although Jin Linwei said that he supervised hundreds of officials, in the early days of the founding of the People's Republic of China, it was not yet pervasive, especially the sesame petty officials who painted the gift of the edict, no one paid attention to it at all. After starting to investigate the person named "Dongsheng", he entered the Jinlin Satellite TV line.

In just a few days of investigation, He Qingxiao did not have much information: "The name of the painting is Hua Anfu, who is six years old Chinese New Year's Eve today, and has a wife, a concubine, a son and a daughter. His wife died of illness ten years ago, and the concubine ran away with her daughter five years ago, and now only one son is left to rely on each other. ”

"The concubine ran away with her daughter?"

He Qingxiao nodded: "Although Hua Anfu entered the Hanlin Academy to wait for the edict, he had almost no chance to face the saint, and only relied on a meager income to support his family and provide for his son to study. The concubine couldn't bear the perennial poverty and left with her daughter. ”

Xin Yu couldn't help but sigh: "Many officials seem to be very poor. ”

He Qingxiao paused and said, "The difference is very big. Those officials whose families have a large amount of fertile land have a very prosperous life, while those who are from ordinary backgrounds who only rely on salaries to support their families are more miserable, and some even rely on loans to turn over ......"

The difference between the rich and the poor officials mentioned by He Qingxiao made Xin Yu think thoughtfully.

My mother also mentioned this aspect, especially when she met some farmers who had lost their fields due to accidents.

"Do you have any other relatives to be edicted?"

"No more. Painting was born in a wealthy family, learned to paint since childhood, showed amazing talent, and invited a famous teacher to teach at home. When he was a teenager, his family was in the middle of the road, and his relatives died one after another......" He Qingxiao said about the situation, "He is not from the capital, these are also inquired, and whether there are discrepancies remains to be verified." ”

"Who is the third person named Dongsheng?"

"It's a Langzhong in the household department, named Zhao Qingyun. Remember Yaxin Bookstore? ”

"Naturally, I remember." Xin Yu thought of something, "Could it be that this Zhao Langzhong is the father-in-law of the owner of Yaxin Bookstore?" ”

Yaxin Bookstore has always been-for-tat with Qingsong Bookstore, and it is because of the personal grievances of its owner that the Wu Dongjia disappeared after the bookstore was seized.

Xin Yu remembered that He Qingxiao mentioned that Wu Dongjia was the son-in-law of a Langzhong in the household department.

"Exactly. Xin waits for the edict to have a good memory. He Qingxiao's lips were unconsciously stained with a smile.

Talking to smart people will save a lot of effort.

"In this way, the three people named 'Dongsheng' have more or less some intersection with me, which is really a coincidence." Xin Yu muttered.

Listening to He Qingxiao talk about Zhao Langzhong's situation, Xin Yu decided to go to Qingsong Bookstore first.

"Be careful." He Qingxiao reminded.

After the two separated, Xin Yu left Jifeather Street and turned into an alley.

In the past year, she has used her spare money to buy many houses, mainly ordinary and inconspicuous, which provides convenience for changing her identity.

Restoring her identity as a daughter, Xin Yu went straight to Qingsong Bookstore, but did not enter through the gate of the bookstore, but entered the east courtyard, and sent someone to call Hu Shopkeeper and Liu Zhou.

"Boss, you haven't been here in a few days!" Seeing Xin Yu, Liu Zhou was a little excited.

Xin Yu smiled: "Now that the bookstore is everywhere and the business is booming, there is no need for me to guard it all day, if there is something, send someone to Shaoqing's Mansion to send a letter to Xiaolian." ”

"There's nothing wrong with the bookstore, it's just that people always ask about the owner."

"Who asked me?"

Liu Zhou snapped his fingers: "Some students of Guozijian, Lord Sacrificial Wine, by the way, and His Royal Highness King Xiu......"

After listening to Liu Zhou, Xin Yu asked the shopkeeper Hu: "Shopkeeper, has Master He come to see the travelogue recently?" ”

She asked this, naturally not to ask He Qingxiao, but to draw out He Yushi.

Shopkeeper Hu didn't know Xin Yu's true thoughts, so he misunderstood.

The old shopkeeper sighed secretly, but still replied: "Lord He hasn't been here recently. ”

This young man looks calm and reserved, but in fact it's not like this, the owner is no longer in the bookstore, so he won't come!

"Looks like our travelogue is going to be dusty." Xin Yu sighed.

Liu Zhou smiled and answered: "That's not going to happen." Don't you know, although Lord He has stopped reading travelogues recently, an adult who also loves to read travelogues has come. ”

"Oh, who is it?" Xin Yu looked curious.

"It's the Lord He Yushi who helped Miss Zhu redress his grievances, and he rode a donkey every time."

"I didn't expect He Yushi to also love to read travelogues."

When the shopkeeper heard this, he smiled.

Xin Yu looked over: "Shopkeeper, what's wrong?" ”

Shopkeeper Hu stroked his beard and said in a long voice: "I'm afraid that this Lord He doesn't mean to drink." ”

Judging from the rich experience he has accumulated over the past year, Master He is clearly running for Miss Zhu.

For Zhu Xiaoyue, who came to be his helper, Shopkeeper Hu was more and more satisfied.

This girl is really capable.

Shopkeeper Hu was satisfied with Zhu Xiaoyue, so he was not very optimistic about He Yushi.

He Yushi is indeed a respected and good official, Lord Qingtian, but he is too old to be a good match.

Asked the shopkeeper what he meant by this, Xin Yu sneered: "How old does the shopkeeper think He Yushi is?" ”

"I'm in my thirties."

Seeing Xin Yu's strange expression, Shopkeeper Hu asked, "The villain guessed wrong?" ”

Xin Yu curled her lips: "I heard that this He Yushi is only in his twenties. ”

"Twenties?" Shopkeeper Hu and Liu Zhou were shocked.

The two looked at each other, both in disbelief.

"What about Miss Zhu?"

Shopkeeper Hu couldn't cry or laugh: "Why does Miss Zhu think that Yushi is almost forty." ”

Xin Yu didn't know how to evaluate it for a while, and told the two: "Miss Zhu has no relatives, and now she is working in the bookstore, and we can count her half of her relatives." Since He Yushi is likely to be here for Miss Zhu, you shopkeepers should pay more attention, a good official is not necessarily a woman's beloved......"

In this case, if He Yushi is abnormal, he may be able to be discovered by the shopkeeper Hu.

Of course, this is just a multi-faceted approach, and it is not all expected that through the shopkeeper Hu, they will find out whether He Yushi is the Dongsheng who corresponded with Zhou Tong.

"Don't worry, the villain will pay attention to it in the future." Liu Zhou pointed in the direction of the bookstore, "Lord He is in the lobby of the bookstore." ”

"I'll take a look."

Xin Yu raised his feet and went to the front.

There were a few booksellers in the lobby, Zhu Xiaoyue and Shi collected money and greeted guests, and they were not busy because of the departure of Shopkeeper Hu and Liu Zhou.

Xin Yu glanced at the busy two, didn't make a sound, and walked lightly to the bookshelf.

The rows of bookshelves are long and deep, and it is very hot and humid in this June weather. Just where He Qingxiao often stood, He Yushi was holding a book as thick as a brick, and the clothes on his back were wet with sweat.

Xin Yu thought of the upright and smooth small print on the letter left by Zhou Tong.

Maybe you can take a look at He Yushi's handwriting first.

She looked up, had an idea, and turned to the counter.

Just a few booksellers needed to leave after buying it, and Zhu Xiaoyue was happy when she saw Xin Yu: "The owner!" ”
