Chapter 544: Acacia Lamp
Yan Du asked Da Hei to interrogate the people on Zhuangzi, but no one saw the six girls and her maidservants come to Zhuangzi that night. The official carefully searched Zhuangzi and found no clues.
But how could the body of the maidservant appear on the Zhuangzi? Where did the six girls go?
When I returned to the city, it was already dark, and when I crossed the long street, I saw the lights shining brightly, like a fire dragon. There are all kinds of stalls on both sides of the street, and pedestrians are in groups of three or five, shouting, bargaining, and laughing.
Yan Du asked Da Hei to take the official to bring the body back to the Criminal Department, and asked him to conduct an autopsy tonight, and they would go to the Dingyuan Marquis Mansion to investigate again tomorrow morning.
Several officials ran for a day, and she hadn't eaten since noon, so she took out a silver ingot and gave it to Dahei.
"You bring some wine and meat back, and you'll have a hard time tonight."
Da Hei caught the silver, and said with a smile: "With the princess's words, we won't have to work hard." ”
After sending them away, Liu Yunxiang pulled Yan Du to the market, "There is a wonton seller in front, with thin skin and filling, and the soup is fresh, which is very delicious." ”
said that he was going to eat wontons, as soon as Liu Yunxiang walked in, he was interested, and when he saw the seller of silk flowers, he went over to pick one and put it on his head, and turned around to ask Yan Du if he looked good.
"Beautiful."
"What about this one?"
"It's beautiful, too."
"Which one is better?"
Yan Du directly took out the silver and gave it to the small vendor, "I want both." ”
Liu Yunxiang said with a smile: "Xie Fujun sent me, and my husband gave me, I like them all." ”
As he spoke, he plugged the two silk flowers on, and continued to walk forward with Yan Dui's arm.
Going forward, I saw a gouache seller again, Liu Yunxiang had a gouache shop by himself, and he still happily stepped forward to pick it up. There was an old woman selling tiger head shoes next to her, Liu Yunxiang took a look, and it happened that Zhou Lihuai's wife Pan was picking them out in front of the stall.
"Mrs. Zhou." Liu Yunxiang called.
Pan Shi turned his head to see Liu Yunxiang, and hurriedly stepped forward to salute, but Liu Yunxiang hurriedly grabbed her.
Pan smiled, "I didn't expect to meet you in this night market." ”
"I hung out with my husband." Liu Yunxiang looked back and saw that Yan Duan had already walked to the front, waiting for her in a clean place in the corner, she turned her head and smiled at Pan, "Most men don't like to buy things with us." ”
"Your Highness has come with you, and my family will never will."
"By the way, how is Dr. Zhou, I haven't seen him these days."
Pan sighed, "His body is almost the same, he wanted to come to the door to thank His Highness, but the Tai Hospital didn't know what was urgent, so he sent him to the field." ”
"Going out of town?"
"No, the letter that came at night simply packed two clothes and left."
Liu Yunxiang frowned, even if there is an emergency, it won't be so urgent.
Liu Yunxiang saw that Pan picked out a pair of tiger head shoes, took them and looked at them, and said, "These shoes are really exquisitely embroidered." ”
"yes, I like it too."
Liu Yunxiang glanced at Pan's stomach, "How many months?" ”
"It's been almost six months." Pan laughed.
Liu Yunxiang returned the tiger head shoes to Pan's, "This night market is full of people, and my wife is a month old, so it's better to come to this kind of place less." ”
Pan Shi was a little embarrassed and said: "My husband is not at home, my in-laws have also returned to my hometown, I live in a huge mansion, except for talking to the maids around me for a while, I can only read books in a daze at other times, which is really boring." ”
"If Madame is bored, you can come to the palace as a guest, my house is lively."
"With the princess's words, I have a thick skin."
"Always welcome."
Liu Yunxiang said a few words to Pan's family, afraid that Yan Duan would be in a hurry, so he left first. When he came to the corner of the wall, but he didn't see Yan Dui, Liu Yunxiang sighed, walked forward again, walked to the head of the white jade bridge, and saw Yan Dui standing there, holding a lantern in his hand.
Liu Yunxiang frowned, "Why don't you wait for me?" ”
"A little boy just came to me and said that someone was waiting for me at Baiyuqiao."
"Who's waiting for you?"
"I didn't see anyone, but a little girl came and gave me this lantern."
Liu Yunxiang looked down and saw that the lantern was quite chic, and there were begonias depicted on it.
"Hmph, begonias represent Acacia, have you provoked any girl again?"
The corners of Yan Dui's mouth twitched, "The little girl said it was a man who gave her the lantern. ”
"Huh? How can you even provoke men? ”
"Nonsense."
Liu Yunxiang looked around, but didn't see anyone, so he snatched the lantern from Yan Dui's hand, "No matter who gave it to you, now that this lantern is in my hand, it's mine." ”
Yan Du had no objection, "Let's go eat wontons." ”
The wonton seller is an old man, just in the alley across the flower street, the peddler pawn is tired for a day, he likes to eat a bowl of hot wontons here, and there are also those who accompany the master's family to the flower street, and the little guys who stay outside are hungry at night to eat a bowl.
When Liu Yunxiang and the others came, because it was still early, there were no people at the stall.
The two bowls of wontons were quickly served, and Liu Yunxiang saw that Yan Duan was not very interested, so he scooped up a spoonful of soup and fed it to his mouth, "You taste it." ”
Yan Dui's face flushed, "I'll do it myself." ”
"Hurry up, I'm tired with my hands raised."
Yan Du looked around and saw that no one was paying attention to them, so he leaned over and drank the soup.
Liu Yunxiang snorted, "If you drink mine, you have to feed me." ”
Yan Du snorted, knowing that Liu Yunxiang liked to be careful, he also cooperated, scooped up a spoonful and fed it to her.
There was a gust of wind in the aisle, blowing the lantern out.
Liu Yunxiang casually threw it aside, not caring about it.
The two were eating, and two scholars dressed up came over and asked the old man for two bowls of wontons.
"Brother Li, I went to the inns today and asked, if it's not full, or if the house is too expensive, or let's unite a few fellow villagers to rent a yard, after all, there is still a month before the autumn season, and we have to wait for the release of the list, so it will take at least two months."
"In Shengjing, where every inch of land is expensive, renting a yard is also expensive, and those who have money go to live outside, and those of us who stay are from poor families. Everyone's idea is that they can live in the Jiangnan Hall for a day, although they are broken everywhere, snakes, scorpions, insects and ants are infested, and it is not a place for people to live at all. ”
"It rained two days ago, and I had no place to take up the leak in my house, and a lot of books were wet."
"It's the same with my house."
The two scholars sighed as they spoke, "Nanzhou rioted, and the imperial court said that it would not stick to one pattern to reduce talents, but in the end, it looked down on our candidates from Nanzhou." The Jiangnan Hall is in disrepair, and the imperial court shouldn't be unaware. ”
"Hey, this food and accommodation is still a trivial matter, I'm just afraid...... I'm afraid none of us will be able to pass the test. ”
"Shhh
"You and I know that."
The two scholars ate quickly, as if they were so hungry that they didn't even have soup left, and hurried back to study after eating.
"The third prince is in charge of Qiuyu, I'm afraid he doesn't have the ability." Liu Yunxiang said.
Yan Du picked his chin on the side of Huajie, "He has the ability, and this ability is to stir up the autumn." ”
