Chapter 016: An Embroidered Screen

Because of the repair of Liu Si's body, he was too late, so Shen Lingxi simply rested in the coffin shop.

Early in the morning of the second day, she explained to Zhuang Sheng that Shen Ji was going to do white things for Yao Niang and told them to arrange it.

She herself changed her appearance, pretended to be a man, and entered the capital with Liu Si's ghost before Mu Huai'an and Shen Yuyao came to the door.

If you want to find out what the murderer is trying to do, it is most direct to start with the people who are tracking Liu Si's wife.

Heming Tower is located in the most lively Pingkang Fang in the capital.

The first and second floors are restaurants for people to eat and drink.

Further up, is the most famous gambling house in the capital, Wanguanfang.

Liu Si followed the two yesterday and entered this gambling house.

It was still early, and the gambling house had not yet opened, so Shen Lingxi found a private room on the second floor facing the street and sat down, ordered a table to eat, and offered Liu Si to enjoy the food.

Liu Si is a hearty and honest person, full of good wine and food, and the sadness in his heart has also dispersed.

Seeing this, Shen Lingxi's expression was much more relaxed.

Whether it is a living person or a dead soul, as long as there are people who are concerned in their hearts and understand that there are still things that must be done, there is no time to grieve the Spring and Autumn Festival.

Since there are tiles in the Heming Tower, it is inevitable that there will be storytellers.

Shen Lingxi originally knew that the news of the body being fished out from the well of the Xuanping Marquis Mansion would spread in the capital.

The Golden Immortal Guan will definitely become famous because of this, and it will be favored by the nobles and gentry, and the incense money will also rise.

But what she didn't expect was that the news would spread so quickly.

In just one night, it has been spread into the restaurant.

After eating a meal, I could only hear the storyteller downstairs, "snap", slapping the table eye-catchingly, and talking about today's opening.

“…… It is said that the Miao Ling Dao of the Golden Immortal Temple is a righteous person and has a profound Taoism. When he was doing this, he only felt an evil aura flying in front of him, and Miao Ling Dao let out a cold shout, 'Bah! Where do you run! He drew his peachwood sword and chased after him......"

The sound of "Bah! ", almost sent Shen Lingxi away on the spot.

She held the hand of the teacup and trembled.

Who made up this joke, the words are exaggerated......

Liu Si was not present at the time, he was fascinated by what he heard, and looked at Shen Lingxi's gaze, solemnly in awe.

There is no physical performance, but it can be so expressive and clever!

The cheers downstairs continued, and the storyteller continued: "...... The Taoist took the peachwood sword, and with a move of 'Ma Buyun Hug' and 'Kicking Forward Thorn', it hit the evil point. Seeing that the evil demon could not help the enemy, he fled in the wilderness, and the Miao Ling Dao Chang chased after him, and it was another move of 'flying and picking thorns' and then 'jumping and flat stabbing', and the evil evil was beaten to the point that he had no power to parry! ”

Liu Si had already put down his chopsticks and began to follow the sword gestures, seeing Shen Lingxi raise his eyes to look at him, Liu Si did not hesitate to give her a thumbs up, and the respect in his eyes was even greater.

Shen Lingxi: ......

Really thanks.

“…… Chased straight to the well, the evil suddenly disappeared. The Taoist chief pinched his fingers, and said that the evil demon was hiding in the well, and used the peachwood sword to drive the rune paper, and actually lifted a corpse out of the well......"

Shen Lingxi really couldn't listen to it, and if she let this storyteller continue to talk nonsense, she, the "Miao Ling Dao Chief", might have to grow three heads and six arms.

She called the shopkeeper and threw him two taels of silver, "That's a good story, please have some refreshments, moisten your throat, and rest for a while." ”

Xiao Er heard the sound and knew that she didn't like to listen to this paragraph, so she smiled and went to arrange it.

After a while, the storyteller withdrew.

Liu Si was still unsatisfied, and he was still gesturing with great interest, not only gesturing, but also asking seriously, "How did the girl's trick 'Soaring and Picking Thorns' pick up the 'Jumping Step Flat Thorn'?" ”

Shen Lingxi pulled the corners of his lips, "I'll go change my clothes." Busy walked out of the private room.

At this time, in the hall on the first floor, on the platform of the previous storyteller, someone was carried up with an embroidered screen framed with good sandalwood and a height of one person.

This kind of thing in the boudoir of the back house is rarely brought to this kind of occasion, attracting many people to come forward to watch.

Shen Lingxi's eyebrows moved slightly, and he walked downstairs, blending in the crowd, and looked at the embroidered screen.

Although the embroidery screen is framed, the place where the real embroidery is only a few inches wide, and it is still a semi-finished product, which can only be called an embroidery sample.

Ordinary embroidery, only one side.

But the embroidered screen in front of me has two sides on an embroidered cloth.

The front is embroidered with spring flowers, and the back is embroidered with a summer moon lotus pond.

The color of the silk thread is extremely exquisite, the shade is appropriate, and it is lifelike.

Shen Lingxi only glanced at it and recognized that this was something embroidered by Yao Niang before her death.

Except for her, no one in the world can embroider such embroidery.

The onlookers were amazed, "This embroidery is really fresh, it's the first time I've seen it." ”

"I don't know which embroiderer's skillful hands can embroider such ingenious things."

If it's in Sioux City, someone will recognize it.

Kejing City ......

It's too far away from Sioux City, Yao Niang's time over the years has been all wasted on Li Anlin, even if her one-handed embroidery skills are amazing, it is difficult for her reputation to spread to the capital.

A trace of regret flashed in Shen Lingxi's eyes, and he couldn't help but wonder why someone would bring this semi-finished painting to such an occasion.

At this moment, a young man with clear eyebrows walked up to the stage, stood still next to the embroidery screen, and said loudly: "My master occasionally got this thing, I like it very much, and I am willing to offer a reward of 1,000 taels of gold, just to find someone who can complete this embroidery." ”

"A thousand taels...... Gold! It's gold! Oh, my God! ”

"A mere piece of embroidery is worth a thousand taels of gold? Am I crazy, or is this owner crazy?! ”

"You're not a liar, are you...... Although this embroidery is good, it is not worth so much money......"

Shen Lingxi in the crowd, his eyebrows suddenly cold.

Very good.

She had promised in front of Aweng's ghost that she would not take the initiative to seek revenge.

But the owner of this family is so grandiose that he wants to find an embroiderer who knows this embroidery skill.

It must have something to do with the people who killed Ah Weng and them.

How could she not accept the heads sent to the door.

Shen Lingxi glanced at the young man deeply, secretly noted his appearance, and turned around and walked back to the private room.

She had to think carefully about how to set up this game.

When Liu Si saw Shen Lingxi coming back, he stood by the window and hurriedly beckoned to her, "Those two are here." ”

He pointed to the tall and short downstairs, two thin figures, walking and hanging people, "Just those two, they said yesterday that they would collect money from the buyer today, and then attack my mother-in-law, who came so early, it seems that the other party gave a lot of silver, and they are in a hurry." ”

Shen Lingxi looked at them from head to toe, and saw the two of them walking, gesturing in their hands with excitement, not knowing what they were talking about.

I already have an idea in my heart.

She raised her eyes to look at Liu Si, "Do you know how to hang a horse?" Can you read the cards? ”

Monk Liu Sizhang was puzzled, "Will it be ......" He stretched out his hand and shook it, "But I, a lonely ghost, can't touch the cards." ”

"Knock, knock......"

At this moment, the sound of drums sounded upstairs, and it was the sound of Wanguanfang opening the door.

Shen Lingxi stepped out, "You don't need to touch the cards, just look at the cards for me, and all the money you win today will be yours." ”
