I have to say that Xu Jinxiang's yard may be the most lively place in the whole Xu family, and the maids in the courtyard are all remarkable.

"What are you doing sneaking around at the door?" As soon as Xu Jinxiang came back from Master Xu's side, he saw the girl with a ghostly ass at the door, and he recognized it as Chen Lingdang at a glance, and the appearance of the inquiry was really interesting.

Chen Lingdang immediately turned around when he heard the voice behind him, and when he saw that the person was Xu Jinxiang, he always felt that the dark circles under this person's eyes were heavier after not seeing him for a day, and obviously he was also having a bad time.

After all, with so many people in front of him, Chen Lingzhong still has to do what he should do.

"Third Young Master, the eldest lady and Miss Bai Ran just finished chatting, and she asked me to ask you to hurry over and set the bride price list."

Chen Lingdang felt that she had learned the wrong major, and she was obviously more suitable for acting, so she would delay the child's future. Xu Jinxiang comprehended and motioned to Chen Ling to lead the way.

"I think you do have a talent for being a maid." The quiet atmosphere was broken by Xu Jinxiang.

Chen Ling was silent, and after his eyes swept over the surroundings, he glared at Xu Jinxiang fiercely.

"Don't talk nonsense, it's the third day, and you're still so good, I doubt now that you've found a way back." She glanced around the man.

"There's no way to find it back, but I did find a lot of clues...... Listen well, don't turn around. As he spoke, he pulled the girl who was spinning around in front of him.

Chen Lingdang stood still and slapped the man's hand away hatefully, "Just talk, don't move your hands and feet." Have you had any results on a few of the things I asked you to investigate? I always felt that the ghost and the nursery rhyme were the key clues to go back. ”

Xu Jinxiang gently rubbed the back of his hand that was slapped open: "The real murderer...... You asked me to check everything, Green Willow fell at the door of the main house at the time, Xigui was catching ghosts with the guards at the gate of the courtyard, and there should be no problem with the two of them. ”

"No problem? How do I not remember when the green willow fell in the doorway? Chen Ling rubbed her temples and recalled the scene at that time, "That green willow's life is really big, she can survive from the hands of ghosts twice, except that she is basically in danger, don't you think her luck is too good?" ”

Listening to Chen Lingling throw the question to himself, Xu Jinxiang touched his chin and thought: "Maybe this is survivor bias, or maybe it's because ghosts are also admirers of appearance." ”

"You!" Doesn't that mean that you are ugly! Chen Lingzhong felt more and more that this man didn't want to cooperate with him at all.

"Just kidding, it's serious to say that Green Willow is indeed a breakthrough, you can go and inquire. Time is running out......"

"You know time is running out!" Chen Lingzhong couldn't help but complain.

Xu Jinxiang frowned and said: "You listen to me first, my marriage with Jiang Bairan is decided, I don't know where Mother Xu heard that the bride can give the patient joy, and it was decided to hold the wedding three days later." ”

Hearing that the wedding would be held soon, Chen Lingzhong raised the corners of her mouth quietly, it was really unexpected that her task would go so smoothly. But if you think about it, will there be any accidents with such hasty preparations?

"Then what do you think, to marry such a beautiful girl, there is no reason to refuse."

"My father didn't give me a chance to refuse, but you're right, who doesn't like a beautiful girl." After that, he gave Chen Lingzhong an ambiguous expression.

"Prodigal" Chen Lingzhong complained in her heart, as long as he didn't make trouble, this wedding could be successfully completed, and she would be able to go home alive, thinking that she could go home, her attitude towards Xu Jinxiang was not so impulsive.

"By the way, I learned about the source of the nursery rhyme from your fiancée, I'm going to go out to find clues later, will you go?" Chen Lingdang said and stuffed a note to Xu Jinxiang, on which the content of the nursery rhyme was written.

"Ah...... I remember, it's the uncle on North Street, I have an impression, but I'm going to go to my unlucky second brother in a while and discuss with him about repaying the debt, otherwise it will affect the wedding on time. ”

As soon as it was related to the issue of the wedding, Chen Lingzhong was busy and asked Xu Jinxiang to hurry up, and he found a clue and then came back to tell him, but he didn't dare to show it too obviously, and secretly thought to himself.

"You seem to want me to get married quickly......" Xu Jinxiang looked at the girl with interest.

The girl sneered and responded: "No, I just think that marriage is a happy event, and you are very handsome and beautiful...... Don't waste time, I have to hurry up, you have to hurry, it's only four days. ”

After speaking, he ran out without looking back, leaving Xu Jinxiang to look at her back thoughtfully.

Chen Lingzhong clearly realized that he was too aggressive just now, and a ghostly person like Xu Jinxiang might be able to think about his task if he used his brain a little to think about it.

"I'm so anxious, Chen Lingdang, you're too anxious!" Chen Ling secretly spit on his impulses, but after thinking about it, Xu Jinxiang's task is like what Xu Ximiao said, it should be related to Jiang Bairan, "When the time comes...... I can only gamble. ”

Chen Lingdang inquired while thinking about it and walked to North Street, the lively street made her curiosity rise sharply, so she could only silently recite "rattle, rattle" to try to find someone without distraction. The huge North Street is full of hawkers as far as the eye can see, and there are countless uncles walking the streets, probably because it is in the middle of the afternoon, there are not too many children on the road, and there are no vendors surrounded by children.

Chen Lingdang had no choice but to go straight to the nearest vegetable stall and ask, "Mother-in-law, I want to ask you personally." ”

The stall owner, who was busy choosing vegetables, raised her head when she heard the sound, and what caught her eye was a delicate and pretty little girl doll, she looked the girl doll up and down, and then lowered her head and continued to arrange the dishes.

"Mother-in-law, I'll ask you about a person, buy some vegetables by the way, and see that this dish is your own grown, it looks so bright!"

Hearing that the little girl was praising herself and buying vegetables, the stall owner finally changed to a smiling expression.

"And who do you want to inquire about? There is no one on this North Street who my Granny Liu doesn't know! Granny Liu said and stuffed the bundled vegetables to Chen Lingdang, and by the way, she nodded her palm and asked Chen Lingdang to give her the copper coin.

Chen Ling lit the copper coin and asked, "Granny Liu, do you know that there is an uncle who sells rattles here?" Many children like him, and he can also sing a nursery rhyme. ”

Liu Po picked up the copper coin in her hand and pursed her lips, her drooping eyelids were talking about disgust.

"You're looking for him." Granny Liu rubbed the soil on her hands, rubbed it clean on her body, and then pointed to a vacant space diagonally opposite, "I see that there is no over there, that place turned out to be the place where he came out, as long as he came, half of the guests on our side had to run, and I don't know what good he has, and the things he sells are not good to eat or use!" ”

"Oh, who said no, who doesn't have the things he sells, just because he lowered the price, and in the end the grocery stalls on the whole street couldn't make money!" The uncle who sold meat next to him sharpened his knife also came to interject, "Don't you know that Sugar Man Li hates him to death, and he can't die a good death every day by cursing the kidnapper!" ”

"Kidnappers? That uncle is called a kidnapper? Chen Lingzhong asked.

"I really don't know his name, but he was lame, and after a long time we all called him a crutch." The uncle who sold meat said and cut a piece of meat, "Little girl buy a piece of meat, my meat is freshly killed in the morning, you see how tender this loin is!" ”

Chen Lingdang looked at the bloody piece of meat and waved his hand, "No uncle." ”

"Why are you asking him, I haven't seen a crutch for almost half a month." Granny Liu stood up and beat her waist, kicking the rotten vegetable leaves behind her.

"Ao, my brother heard that his rattle is very strange, and the children are spreading that he wants it, and the family doesn't buy it, and he rolls around and gets sick, so I really don't have a trick to come out and look for it."

"Just for the sake of the rattle? Children can't get used to it, and filial piety comes out under the stick! You have to persuade your father and mother, this is unfilial! ”

As he spoke, he was about to step forward and pull Chen Lingdang to teach his godson Dafa, and Chen Lingdang immediately found a reason to slip away.

Just as she was looking around on the side of the road with the vegetables and thinking about who to ask again, a cold voice startled her.

"Are you looking for Uncle Feng?" The childish voice was crisp and loud.

Chen Lingdang soothed his beating heart, rolled his eyes, changed his smile to a kind smile, and bowed his head to talk to the child: "Is the Uncle Feng you are talking about the uncle who sells rattles and can sing nursery rhymes?" ”

"He's not just selling rattles, he's also selling noodle people and kites...... He sells everything! The little kid in front of him with pigtails crossed his fingers and counted carefully.

"Okay, so do you know where he went? My sister wants to buy a rattle from him! If you tell me that my sister will give you a copper coin, it will be considered a reward. Chen Lingdang said and took out a copper coin and dangled it in front of the child.

"I'm telling you, I can take you there!" The child grabbed the copper coin in his hand with both hands, for fear that Chen Ling would regret it.

"Then let's go, sister is in a hurry."

The child took Chen Linggong into a narrow alley, the roadside weeds were grown, and there was some feces from time to time, the house was not much better than the tattered, the house was uneven next to the house, as if it was going to swallow the side of the general dark competition, the sound insulation effect was very bad, and there was a rapid coughing and wheezing sound when listening carefully.

"We're here." After saying that, the child ran away firmly.

Chen Ling looked at the stone wall in front of him speechlessly, "It stands to reason that there should be some savings in the endless stream of doormen, why is the place where you live so dilapidated." ”

The lock of the courtyard door was loose and sloppy on it, but Chen Lingdang still patted the courtyard door politely: "Is Uncle Feng here?" I'm here to buy something. "The sound was louder than the last, but no one answered.

Chen Lingdang looked at no one around, gritted his teeth, or tiptoed open the door and entered the courtyard.
