Chu Hantang also went out, and he understood Bai Yuan's actions very well, it was nothing more than a fear of extraneous branches, and the relationship between the original owner and them had not yet reached the point where they could be honest with each other about the secrets in their hearts.

It was still quiet in the courtyard, and they walked out, making very soft footsteps.

Xie Ruhuai bent down to hit the well water with a bucket, Chu Hantang leaned over, and also wanted to wash his face and go to the Qinglou, feeling that his face was also smoked with a lot of rouge gouache with a strong fragrance.

Chu Hantang rolled up his sleeves to his elbows, revealing two thin white wrists.

He stared.

She picked up the water and splashed it on her face, and the droplets of water slowly flowed down her face, and a clear face became clearer and clearer, and the Adam's apple rolled in the not-so-obvious one.

But the Adam's apple that is not too obvious is also the Adam's apple, and Xie Yihuai lowered his eyes again.

Chu Hantang wiped off the water stains with the back of his hand, and in order to satisfy his curiosity, he pretended to ask casually, "How do you know that the person who scratched the Chi girl in the Taishou Mansion is the little guy of the Qinglou?" ”

He scrubbed his hands until they turned red, "The smell, the shape, the way he walked, etc." ”

She still didn't understand.

"The taste? The smell of the Qinglou is indeed quite special, and you can know it as soon as you smell it after the Qinglou, but the guests who have been to the Qinglou will also get this smell, and most of the people who go to the Qinglou are men. ”

"Looking at the figure, I know that he is a man, or he may be a guest of the Qinglou, how can I tell that he is a young man?"

Xie Yihuai finished washing, and his ten fingers were still dripping with water, "When I caught up, I saw that figure enter the Qinglou." ”

Chu Hantang handed over a handkerchief and listened to him quietly.

He took a handkerchief and wiped his hands, his finger bones were beautiful and slender, "There is a kind of fragrance on him." ”

"I have a keen sense of smell since I was a child, and after entering the Qinglou, I found that only the people who pick up customers inside will have this smell, and the guests inside are very light even if they are stained, and it is easy to disperse when the wind blows."

Chu Hantang sniffed himself and couldn't tell the difference.

Xie Sihuai said again: "And although he is thin, his height and skeleton are actually similar to Bai Gongzi's, not like those Qinglou women who came over." ”

Bai Yuan's height is also tall among men, and women in ancient times rarely had this height.

"But his walking posture is soft and brisk, and he doesn't look like a man who works as a coolie in the Qinglou, I remember that there seems to be a kind of person in the Qinglou called Xiaoqi, who is also a man, so I look for them."

She paused, she didn't expect there to be so many twists and turns.

"But there are so many little ones, how are you sure it's Shen Gongzi?" Chu Hantang also called Shen Bi Shen Gongzi, and in ancient times, he called strangers by their names and did not respect others.

He rarely had the patience to talk to her so much.

"Looks, the way he looks at us is different from the way other little guys look at us."

Chu Hantang couldn't distinguish the fragrance, let alone his eyes or anything, he just felt amazing.

After explaining, Xie Qihuai smiled, "What else does Gongzi Chu want to ask?" ”

She was afraid that if she asked again, the other party would be annoyed by herself, so she waved her hand and said, "It's gone, if you're tired, go back to your room to rest first." ”

His face was a little more beautiful under the bright sky, and his appearance without powder was a little more pleasing to the eye than the Shen Wall who had just put on makeup, "Chu Gongzi is too." ”

They were separated.

Chu Hantang returned to his room and fell asleep unconscious as soon as he got into bed.

She didn't wake up until someone knocked on the door, she opened her eyes lazily, sat up and looked at the shadow at the door, "Who?" ”

Kong Chang said outside: "Master Chu, my son-in-law has something to talk to you about." ”

Bai Yuan has something to look for her?

Chu Hantang asked him to wait, then got up to tidy up his clothes and wash up, and after opening the door, he saw Kong Chang standing not far away.

Kong Chang's impression of her is neither good nor bad, mainly because Chu Hantang looks like his son-in-law's rival.

"Where is Bai Gongzi?" She twisted her neck and yawned again.

Kong Chang didn't say where he was, and took people directly.

Before going to see Bai Yuan, Chu Hantang also vaguely thought that he was going to say something when he came over alone, and after meeting, he begged her not to tell her about last night.

Chu Hantang immediately patted his chest and assured that he would never leak half a word.

She also wants to curry favor with Chi Yaoyao, the heroine of the strategy, and reveal the secret they have worked so hard to keep, which is to lift a stone and shoot herself in the foot.

Bai Yuan stared at her for a long time, and chose to believe, "Young Master Chu, thank you." ”

As soon as this matter was over, Chu Hantang remembered that he had promised Xiao Qi last night that he would not harm his life, "What about Shen Gongzi?" Where is he now? ”

He recalled what Shen Bi had said last night, and suddenly had mixed feelings, "He went back to the Qinglou." ”

It's good that she didn't hurt Shen Bi, otherwise she would have broken her word.

Chu Hantang just wanted to ask this, and deliberately didn't ask what they said between them last night, for fear that he would misunderstand his ill intentions.

"How many days are we going to stay in Peizhou?"

Bai Yuan thought for a few seconds and gave an approximate time, "A few days, it won't be too long." ”

Chu Hantang was more worried about how Chi Yaoyao was doing now, "How is Miss Chi's health?" The poison is completely gone. ”

He moved his lips, and he also felt that she cared too much about Chi Yaoyao, not just this time, but before, "She's okay, I'm worried about Gongzi Chu." ”

At noon, the sound of suona blowing came from the street outside, like a funeral for someone.

Kong Chang, who went out to buy vegetables and came back to cook, ran back quickly and told them that the government was going to cremate the Taishou family today.

Chu Hantang, who was biting the fruit, was stunned in place.

The whole family was wiped out yesterday, and they will be cremated today? The murder case hasn't even been investigated yet, so if you are in such a hurry to cremate people, you are not afraid of causing public outrage?

Chi Yaoyao asked this question for her.

Kong Chang said that when the government conducted an autopsy, it was found that some corpses in the Taishou Mansion were actually infected with the plague, and if the corpses were put down, I am afraid that it would affect the people of the entire Peizhou.

If there is one corpse, other corpses may also be contaminated, so all the corpses can only be burned to prevent future troubles.

And the government led by example, isolating the officials and soldiers who had been to the Taishou Mansion yesterday.

As soon as these words came out, the people who were initially opposed to immediate cremation gradually changed their tunes.

Plague is something that the people are afraid of.

Even though they really wanted to find out the real cause of the death of Taishou, who loved the people, and who killed him, but the plague was a matter of their own lives, so they naturally changed their minds.

Don't blame them, most of the people's families are dragged with their families, and if one is infected, the whole family will suffer together.

The people who went to the vicinity of the Taishou Mansion yesterday are now burning mugwort leaves for disinfection.

Chu Hantang thought that this was too coincidental.

The sound of suona and the smell of mugwort leaves also reached their yard, and Kong Chang anxiously asked them if they wanted to buy some mugwort leaves and smoke them back.

Kong Chang didn't know that they had been to the Taishou Mansion last night, and if he knew that they had been in the Taishou Mansion for a while looking for something, he might have fainted in fright.

Chu Hantang was not worried.

The male and female protagonists have the aura of the protagonist, take 10,000 steps back and say, if there is really a plague, they won't be infected, and take another 10,000 steps back and say, if they are really infected, they shouldn't die.

After a while, Bai Yuan said, "You don't need to buy it." ”

Kong Chang was so anxious that he jumped up and down, "Childe, this is a plague!" Infected people will die! ”

Liu Zhipei sat next to the well with his arms crossed, and he didn't care very much, and he still had the heart to ask Chu Hantang to give him a fruit to eat.

Chu Hantang didn't give it to him, and seeing that Liu Zhipei was unyielding, he handed the extra fruit to the person closest to her with his backhand, "Here you go." ”

Xie Qihuai took a few seconds before answering.

Liu Zhipei looked at them with interest and quipped, "Young Master Chu, why are you so good to Young Master Xie?" ”

Chu Hantang spit out the kernel, "I like it." ”

In fact, I was afraid of offending the sick Jiao.

He deliberately misrepresented her meaning, "What? Do you like Mr. Xie? I can't see it. ”

Their side and Bai Yuan's side are completely different styles.

Chu Hantang was calm and threw away the kernel, "I like women." ”

Xie Ruhuai was fiddling with the fruit, the green peel was turning on his white hand, and he didn't look like he could eat it.

Liu Zhipei was unexpected, just now he just teased her and asked smoothly, "What kind of girl does Gongzi Chu like." ”

Chu Hantang didn't think about it, and said casually: "Just a woman." ”

Xie Yihuai suddenly looked at Chi Yaoyao for some reason, and rarely lowered his head and took a bite of the fruit.

Liu Zhipei definitely didn't believe it, "Young Master Chu, your requirements are so low?" ”

She fooled him, "Then it's pretty." ”

This person is definitely the most verbose and gossip man Chu Hantang has ever seen.

Liu Zhipei laughed out loud when he heard it, although this is the truth, but if he says it directly, it is inevitable that someone will say superficial, "I like good-looking girls...... Hahaha, Chu Gongzi is really temperamental! ”

Chu Hantang also felt that he was ...... It's silly.

Kong Chang persuaded Bai Yuan so much that his saliva was dry.

Seeing that they were still talking about other things indifferently, he couldn't help but get angry, "You still have the heart to say something else, aren't you worried about the plague?" ”

Bai Yuan called Kong Chang unhappily, "Kong Chang, don't be rude." ”

Kong Chang was silent instantly, and then he was also annoyed that he had just opened his mouth.

In fact, Chu Hantang didn't care, but they visited almost all of the Taishou Mansion last night, and if there was a plague, there was a high probability that they would not be able to escape.

Chi Yaoyao's maid Su Xin was actually a little worried, quietly pulled the corner of her clothes, and whispered: "Miss, Kong Chang is not unreasonable. ”

"Well, if you're afraid, it's okay to buy some mugwort leaves and smoke them back."

After Chi Yaoyao finished speaking, he looked at Bai Yuan, and when he saw that he didn't object, he made a look and let Kong Chang go.

She thought that the plague was just an excuse for destroying the corpses, but out of an abundance of caution, she gave each of them a pulse.

When it was Xie Yihuai's turn, he said no.

Chi Yaoyao was a little insistent in this matter, but Xie Yihuai was more insistent than her, and she refused with a smile, but it was more difficult to start than directly refusing sharply.

Chu Hantang also didn't know why Xie Yihuai didn't let people take the pulse, and the original book didn't mention that he had any hidden diseases.
