Xu Jing looked at Xu Huai'an's eyes, the corners of her mouth pursed slightly, and she didn't know how to respond to him for a while.

The tourmaline butterfly peony hairpin he said was sold by her as early as after the original owner mistakenly thought that the Xu family had betrayed her.

It was one of the first items she sold, because she had the most complicated feelings for Xu Huai'an, so she hated him the most.

It's just that, later, she tried to go back to the pawnshop several times to redeem it, but she couldn't help it.

She was entangled for a long time, opened her mouth, and was about to say something, when Chunyang's inexplicable and somewhat cautious voice suddenly came from behind her, "Mother...... Lady, Xiao Shilang is here. ”

Xu Jing was slightly stunned, subconsciously turned her head, and saw that not far behind her, a handsome man in a purple official uniform was standing quietly beside Chunyang, looking at her with a pair of black eyes without blinking, like a dark and deep ancient well, so that people couldn't even see whether there were ripples in it.

Xu Jing was inexplicably a little flustered, walked over quickly, and said, "Why did Xiao Shilang come here early in the morning?" ”

Looking at Chunyang's expression and tone, what Xu Huai'an said to her just now, Xiao Yi probably heard it!

He came too unlucky!

However, she didn't know how to explain the matter between her and Xu Huai'an.

Xiao Yi lowered his eyes and looked at the woman in front of him, noticing the rare panic in her eyes, her eyes flashed slightly, no matter how depressed she was in her heart, she only raised a faint smile on her face, and said: "You successfully solved the case of Guozijian yesterday, the saint is very happy, saying that this time I will reward you with a big prize, when I went to see the saint yesterday, he asked me what you want, because I don't know very well, so I came to ask you." ”

"Ah, that's ......"

Of course, Xu Jing was very happy to have a reward, but she couldn't be happy about the current situation.

She could feel that Xu Huai'an behind her was still looking at her steadily, her eyes were hot, as if she was going to open two holes in her back, the first time she encountered this kind of thing, she didn't know how to deal with it at all, her brain twitched, and she directly grabbed Xiao Yi's hand and said, "Let's talk to the side." ”

After speaking, he turned his head and pulled the corners of his mouth at Xu Huai'an, and said, "Cousin, go in first, I'll come over in a while." ”

As he spoke, he was already pulling Xiao Yi to the corner.

Xiao Yi looked at his hand being held a little stunned, and when he passed Xu Huai'an, he raised his eyes to look at him, but saw that his face was pale and depressed, and a pair of eyes were closely chasing the woman who was pulling him, and the sadness and trance in his eyes were so full that they were almost pouring out.

His hand that was being held was unconsciously put away, and he held the woman's slightly cool and soft hand tightly.

Xu Jing's heart was a little confused, and he didn't notice Xiao Yi's small movements at all, until he was far away from Fang Cai's Shura Field, he secretly breathed a sigh of relief, let go and turned to Xiao Yi, and before he could say anything, he heard the man in front of him whisper: "But the timing of my arrival is not right?" ”

Xu Jing was slightly stunned, and hurriedly said, "Of course not, the man from Fangcai...... It's my cousin, my uncle's family came yesterday, they have taken great care of me since I was a child, but a few years ago, I had a little misunderstanding with them, and I only talked about it yesterday. ”

After a pause, he said: "The Holy Lord has already decreed that we will remarry, don't worry, I won't do anything to make you embarrassed." ”

If they were just ordinary friends, Xu Jing didn't need to explain so much to him.

But they are about to remarry the relationship, and where it should be made clear, it still needs to be made clear.

If Chunyang was there, he would have covered his face and sighed again.

What does it mean to get darker and darker, this is it!

After Xu Jing finished speaking, the man in front of her was inexplicably silent for a while, she couldn't help but look at him strangely, and saw him raise the corners of his mouth and said, "I believe in you." This is your first public investigation of the case, and you have achieved such good results, and the Holy Lord also intends to promote you, so that you can have more opportunities to participate in the investigation of the government in the future, you can think about what reward you want. ”

Xu Jing unconsciously stared at Xiao Yi for a while, and after feeling that he was indeed not abnormal, he said: "If you have gold and silver treasures, the saint has already rewarded me a lot last time, and I have a house now......"

She suddenly thought of Guangming Hall, which had been haunting Zhou Qi.

Although he didn't mention the fact that Guangming Tang was about to supply medicine to the army now, how could he really not care in his heart.

If she took this opportunity, she asked the Holy Lord to allow Tianyi Pavilion to supply medicine to the army together......

No, no, this is equivalent to snatching food from the tiger's mouth, the Jiang family will definitely have opinions, and she doesn't want to raise the Tianyi Pavilion so high all at once.

Xu Jing thought about it for a long time, but she didn't know what reward to ask for, so she simply looked at Xiao Yi and asked, "What advice does Xiao Shilang have?" ”

Xiao Yat knows more about officialdom, and in this matter, he will think more deeply than her.

Just like before, when she first came into contact with Guozijian's case, she was still thinking about whether to interfere, and he had already thought that she could use this case to officially confirm the name of the goddess detective, so that those strange rumors about her would be difficult to retreat.

"I do have a suggestion."

Xiao Yi said: "Ah Jing can take this opportunity to let the Holy Lord appoint you to become the external staff officer of the Xijing Mansion, and in the future, you can participate in the case of the Xijing Mansion in an open and honest manner." ”

External staff officers?

Xu Jing was slightly stunned.

Xiao Yat patiently explained: "It is not uncommon for local government offices to seek help from outsiders, and there will be some government offices that regularly cooperate with certain external personnel, for example, many of them use this way to cooperate with government offices.

It's just that they have never had an official name, and they are just spontaneous actions of local governments.

You...... After all, it is a woman, that is, you have fully demonstrated your ability to investigate the case through this case of Guozijian, and other yamen may not be willing to let you participate in their investigation work, but if the saint speaks and makes you an external staff officer of the Xijing Mansion, you will have a legitimate reason to continue to investigate the case. ”

All kinds of small cases that occurred in Xijing were handled by the Xijing government, and only some big cases or cases involving officials and magnates would be handed over to Dali Temple.

Xiao Yi paused and said: "Of course, if you do this, although you can continue to investigate the case, you will definitely attract a lot of eyes, those eyes cannot be good, and there will be people like Wang Qilang who are jealous and dissatisfied with you, and even secretly stumble on you."

If you don't want to ......"

"I do."

Xu Jing's voice interrupted Xiao Yi's words calmly but resolutely, looked at the man in front of him, and raised the corners of his mouth: "It should be said that I feel Xiao Shilang's good intentions." You asked me to be the external staff officer of the Xijing Mansion, not Dali Temple, because you don't want me to be too sharp all of a sudden and be hated too much.

I used to worry that I wouldn't be able to protect myself if I was too aggressive, but now ......"

Xiao Yi's dark eyes unconsciously clenched her, and his voice was a little lower, "How is it now?" ”

Now that I have you by my side, I suddenly feel that there is nothing to be afraid of.

In this way, Xu Jing was inexplicably embarrassed to say it, and coughed lightly: "It's nothing, just do what Xiao Shilang said, and trouble Xiao Shilang to help me tell the saint."

Uncle, they're still waiting for me, so I'll go back first. ”

After saying that, he turned around and was about to leave.

Xiao Yi suddenly, his heart was empty, and before he realized it, he had already grabbed the hand of the woman in front of him.
