Chapter 166: The First Strange Case in Ancient and Modern Times
In the Hongyun Building, the trend of discussion was transferred from the Guozhang Mansion and the Chengguo Mansion to the female dependents of the Zhenguo Mansion who had just gone upstairs.
Especially those who had seen the ladies in the Zhenguo Mansion yesterday were even more surprised and couldn't believe their eyes.
From the old lady Xiao to the eldest princess and several young ladies in the Zhenguo Mansion, which one is not energetic, which one is not coquettish and colorful, no one can be connected with the legendary sick number.
"They don't look so good with makeup, do they?"
"Humph! If makeup could make me look teenage younger, I'd too! β
Xiao Ningyin naturally listened to everyone's discussion in her ears, she looked around carelessly, and suddenly remembered that she had forgotten one thing - the whereabouts of Xiao Zhihua and Qin Ji have not been found yet! I don't know where these two people fled to?
Why don't you take some time out and look for it?
The peony pavilion on the third floor soon arrived, and when I opened the door, I saw a large round table in the room that could seat more than 20 people, and each chair was carved with a peony pattern, which was lifelike and colorful.
After the old lady Xiao and the eldest princess sat down, the other juniors all sat down according to their seniority, only Xiao Ningyin and Xiao Yingxue sisters sat down next to the old lady and the eldest princess.
Xiao Ningyin also met Xiao Bingyan, the lobby sister of the eldest uncle's family, and Xiao Bingyu, the second cousin, Xiao Bingju, the third cousin of the second uncle's family, and Xiao Bingqin, the younger cousin of the uncle's family.
The lobby sister Xiao Bingyan is fourteen years old, which is the age of the family. She is familiar with poetry and books, gentle and generous.
The second cousin, Xiao Bingyu, is twelve years old, and she likes poetry, calligraphy, calligraphy and painting more than the eldest sister, but she doesn't like to practice martial arts.
Xiao Bingju, the third cousin of the second uncle's family, is fourteen years old, likes to dance and play with swords, has a hearty personality, and is also looking at each other.
To ask why the third cousin is older than the second cousin? Because there are two older brothers above the third cousin! Her ranking is according to the second uncle's room.
"Our family and dependents are here." The old lady smiled: "Come on, come on, the old ancestor will introduce you sister and son." β
"This is your third uncle's Xue'er, Yin'er."
"This is your uncle's eldest sister Bingyan, second sister Bingyu, this is the third sister Bingju of your uncle's family, and this is your uncle's sister Bingqin."
"Hello sister!"
"Hello sister!"
The whole family got up very politely to salute, and then they got together and whispered.
Mulberry pear soon brought people to serve the dishes, there are seven or eight kinds of meat porridge and vegetable porridge, as well as side dishes, small pickles, small snacks, meat buns, vegetarian buns, seafood buns, etc., which are dazzling.
"Wow! It's so rich! Xiao Bingyan Xiao Bingyu couldn't help but sigh: "In the past, we came to Hongyun Building to make an appointment, and every time it was obviously our turn, someone always came to make trouble, so that our Zhenguo Mansion never had a meal in Hongyun Building." β
Xiao Ningyin smiled, it was because the luck of the Zhenguo Mansion was taken away by Hu Guozhang, so Xiao Bingyan and their luck would be so bad.
"Eldest sister, second sister, third sister, little sister, if you want to come to Hongyun Building for dinner in the future, you can come at any time!" Xiao Ningyin waved her small hand and said arrogantly: "I declare that from now on, you are all the little bosses of Hongyun Building, and I will give each of you half a dry share!" β
Half of the dry shares, for such a hot business as Hongyunlou, it is already an astronomical amount.
"How does this work?" The eldest lady, the second lady, and the fourth lady hurriedly refused: "Since this Hongyun Building is Yin'er's property, then let their sisters want to eat it to relieve their hunger, where can they take dry shares?" β
"Sister-in-law, second sister-in-law, fourth brother and sister." Leng Aoyun stopped the three ladies: "This is Yin'er's gift to their sisters, if you don't accept it, you will dislike this half of the dry shares!" Then I'll call the shots, and let the sound rise for themβ"
Before Leng Aoyun could say the word "Yicheng", the three ladies were so frightened that they couldn't sit still, and they all stood up and grabbed Leng Aoyun and explained:
"Third brother and sister, how can we be too little?"
"yes, that's not what we meant!"
"Half percent, it's already a lot!"
Leng Aoyun smiled: "Since you are not too little, then it is decided!" You can't say no! β
The eldest lady, the second lady, and the fourth lady looked at each other and sighed helplessly: They didn't promise to do the shares!
"Don't worry, three ladies!" Sang Li came in with a wad of paper: "This is the document that the master gave to the young ladies, you can sign it!" β
Leng Aoyun raised his eyebrows slightly: "A few nieces, come and sign!" β
This time, the eldest lady, the second lady and the fourth lady were embarrassed.
Xiao Bingyan, Xiao Bingyu, and Xiao Bingju all signed their own documents, but Xiao Bingqin was too young, and the document needed to be signed by the fourth lady.
The documents were signed, in duplicate, and several young ladies still couldn't believe it after they put the documents together, so they became shareholders of Hongyun Building.
It's a beautiful feeling, but it's also a little unreal.
After a meal and breakfast, the family was satisfied, and the children were all exhausted, with round bellies and tired walking.
Old Madam Xiao frowned: "You are the young lady of the Zhenguo Mansion, what are you talking about one by one?" Walk! The ancestors took you shopping and eating. β
Everyone laughed and followed behind Mrs. Xiao and went shopping.
In the past few years, several ladies have not been in good health, and they haven't gone shopping for anything for a long time, and it's rare to see everything at the moment.
Xiao Ningyin deliberately took a few steps behind everyone, holding a sugar gourd and shaking the two small pinchs on her head. The beaded red silk swayed to and fro as she walked.
"Master, directly behind you, there is a crossbowman who wants to assassinate you." The little butterfly sensed the danger in advance and warned Xiao Ningyin.
"It's fine!" Xiao Ningyin walked forward step by step: "He will become the first strange case in ancient and modern times." β
The little butterfly didn't know why: "Master, what kind of strange case?" β
Xiao Ningyin smiled: "Kill your own killer!" β
As soon as Xiao Ningyin's words fell, an arrow swished off the string and pointed directly at Xiao Ningyin's vest.
Once this arrow hits, it will definitely kill you on the spot, and you will be dead.
However, the arrow suddenly made a 360-degree turn less than three feet away from Xiao Ningyin, and hit the crossbowman's own heart with a bang.
"Poof!"
The crossbowman fell from the rooftop, black blood gushing out of his mouth. He looked at the arrow that pierced his body in disbelief: it was the one he had just shot!
How so? died before leaving the school, is that what he is talking about? The crossbowman rolled his eyes, dead.
The scene was suddenly chaotic, the timid fainted with fright, and the bold stretched out their necks to watch the excitement.
When Dali Temple and the Criminal Department arrived, after surveying the scene, it was determined that the arrow was fed with a poisonous poison that sealed the throat with blood, and the killer was killed by his own poisonous hand. He was originally going to assassinate Xiao Ningyin, the fourth lady of the Zhenguo Mansion, but the arrow that shot out inexplicably turned and killed himself.
Uh~, it's outrageous!
