Chapter 022: It's very clever

"Then there's Shopkeeper Lao." Chu Yan bowed gently and politely.

Shen Lingxi led him into the shop and lit the oil lamp.

There is a lot of ice at home, and in summer, there is no ice basin in the shop, so as soon as you enter the house, there is a refreshing coolness.

If it is a taboo person, it will think that this is yin qi.

Shen Lingxi saw that his expression was as usual, and there was no difference, so he casually pointed to the coffins in a row against the wall, "There are paulownia, pine, cypress, sandalwood, and golden silk nanmu, all of which are newly polished, and Lang Jun can choose at will." ”

Chu Yan: "...... Thanks a lot. ”

"But ......" Shen Lingxi lowered his head slightly, and said with some surprise: "The coffin that Lang Jun slept in will not be sold again......

Chu Yan's moon-like eyes were frozen for a moment.

He came here only on a temporary basis, and he didn't have any money with him.

It's just that soon, he took off the jade pendant on his waist, put it in the palm of his hand, handed it to Shen Lingxi, and asked gently and politely, "I came here in a hurry, I didn't bring any silver, I don't know if it is enough to buy a coffin with this jade?" ”

Hetian jade, which has excellent material, is worth a thousand taels of silver.

"Enough is enough." Shen Lingxi took the jade pendant from his palm, smiled and bent his eyebrows, and took out a thin quilt and pillow from the inside, "It's all new, Lang Jun, please take care of yourself." ”

After saying that, he bowed and walked into the room without looking back.

The moment the door closed, the smile on Shen Lingxi's face disappeared from the corner of his lips.

She lowered her eyes and played with the jade pendant in her hand.

Although the temperament of the body has changed and he is older, his facial features can still vaguely see the outline of the young general a few years ago.

What a coincidence.

The embroidered envoy had just captured the Tian brothers, and the dignified embroidered commander of the envoy, His Royal Highness the Prince of the Great Zhou Dynasty, pretended to be a Confucian and came to Fu'an Hall.

It's a coincidence.

*

Early in the morning of the second day, Mu Huai'an came to Wangxian Village early.

As soon as the door of Shen's coffin shop opened, a man dressed as a Confucian in a moon-white robe walked out of the house.

"You...... You ......" Mu Huai'an's eyes widened, as if he had seen a ghost.

Chu Yan was very calm, and saluted him gently, "Mu Shaoqing, I haven't seen you for a long time, but are you okay?" ”

He couldn't afford it. Mu Huaian turned sideways to dodge, "You are ......"

"You ...... Know? Shen Lingxi walked out from behind and asked with a surprised expression.

"Acquaintance." Without waiting for Mu Huai'an to speak, Chu Yan smiled slightly, "The aunt below is from the same clan as Shaoqing, and the family business has to be taken care of by the Mu family. ”

Mu Huai'an looked at him strangely.

Next? Business??

He felt like he didn't even know the man in front of him.

"That's a coincidence." Shen Lingxi pretended to be curious and asked, "I don't know what kind of business Lang Jun's family is doing?" ”

"Do some silk embroidery business, that's why I went to Sioux City and met Yao Niang." Chu Yan knows everything, speaks endlessly, and has a very gentle, friendly and kind attitude.

Mu Huai'an finally understood.

It seems that Shen Lingxi didn't know what he had done again, this time he really stabbed the big basket and was targeted by the embroidered messenger.

It's just, the eyes are on the eyes.

The commander personally went down, what kind of trouble is this?

Shen Lingxi felt that His Royal Highness the Imperial Grandson of Da Zhou would not go to the Yuchun class to sing a little student, it would be a condescension.

"Yao Niang's mourning hall is in the main hall of Fu'an Hall, if the son goes to mourn, he can go there by himself." After she finished speaking politely, she bowed slightly to Mu Huai'an, and went straight to work.

After she left, Mu Huai'an finally had a chance to speak, "Your Highness, what are you going to do?" You and her last night, you ......"

"Last night, Lone was just spending the night."

Only the two of them remained, Chu Yan finally stood up straight, and did not make that "harmless to humans and animals" appearance, "Living in a coffin." ”

Mu Huaian quickly glanced at the shop, and there was indeed a coffin, but the lid was not closed.

Really...... It's hard for him.

"What is the significance of Your Highness's move?" He asked tentatively.

Chu Yan: "The embroidered messenger caught two killers in the western suburbs last night, and a buyer who bought a murderer, and the two killers confessed that a few days ago, the buyer hired them to kill a steward next to Xuanping Hou, named Liu Si. ”

"Liu Si?" Mu Huai'an was taken aback, "Isn't this the case I have at hand?" ”

He quickly went through the matter in his mind, "That's why His Highness came late at night and pretended to be like this, just to ...... Investigating the case? ”

"Your case, I'm not interested." Chu Yan said lightly: "The embroidered clothes envoy wants those two killers." As for the buyer, his name is Feng Qi, but he can give it to you to investigate the case. It's just that, in exchange, Lone has one condition. ”

Mu Huai'an laughed dryly.

In the Great Zhou, who dares to negotiate the conditions with the embroidered envoy, "If you have something, you just ask." ”

Chu Yan looked at him and said, "Gu wants to know the autopsy results of Yao Niang and Liu Si." When investigating the case, take Lone, don't reveal Lone's identity. ”

Shen Lingxi promised Shen Ji to bring Shen Yuyao, so he really brought Shen Yuyao.

The Kun Dao of the Golden Immortal Temple was built as a water and land dojo, and the Yuchun class set up a stage in the open space outside the village.

The number of people who came to Wangxian Village today was twice as large as yesterday, and Shen Ji also specially allocated manpower to maintain order.

Naturally, the cost of silver is twice as much as yesterday.

Shen Yuyao followed Shen Lingxi's side, watching her allocate personnel expenses, planning to keep accounts, talk and laugh with the stewards of all parties, and deal with this big mess in an orderly manner, only feeling dizzy.

Her mind kept echoing what her father said to her before he left yesterday:

“…… I have made your identity known to the Holy Lord, and from now on, you and the five girls are twin sisters of the same mother, and they are all my daughters, so don't have any scruples about your identity. ”

"The Mu family is the mother of the queen's mother, Mu Huai'an is young and promising, if you marry him, you will be the only one among the nobles of the Houmen in the capital, always remember your identity, don't surrender your identity in front of people to do the work that only those subordinates do, you know?"

"No matter how capable a woman is, it is better to marry a good man. Look at your mother, in the An family, she is just a concubine who everyone looks down on, and now she is married to her father, although she is a continuation, she also has a destiny. She is in charge of the huge Hou Mansion, who does not respect her as a lady. When you go out to a banquet, apart from those royal relatives and relatives, how can you bow your head to others? It's all because of marrying a good man. Listen to your father, marry Mu Huai'an, your father will not harm you. ”

In a trance, Shen Yuyao saw Mu Huai'an, who had a handsome and clear face, with a smile on the corner of her lips, and walked slowly towards her.

The sunlight sprinkled on his vermilion embroidered gold, making his whole person look like the rising sun, radiant.

For the first time, Shen Yuyao felt that her heart was like a deer crashing......

Previously, not qualified.

Now, maybe you can really fight hard.

However, the next moment ----

"Hey, Shen Lingxi."

Mu Huai'an walked straight past her, walked to the table, looked at Shen Lingxi with starry eyes, and asked impatiently, "You said that you would go to investigate the case, how long do you have to make us wait?" ”
