Chapter Eighty-Seven: Substitution
After the moon, several people in the Hongfu dispersed, and the Hong teaser who had been holding back his stomach could finally ask as much as he could.
On the stone road, Hong teased Di Gu next to him and asked him, "What is the case you talked about on the table? Why are you sure it wasn't Master Fan who did it?"
Di Gua looked at the full moon and twisted his beard: "I have been to Shucheng and met that Master Fan, although he is not a very easy person to contact, but he is not a person who can do such a thing as hiring a killer to destroy the door." ”
"Then what does the master think of this case?"
Dou Cheng has always been safe under the governance of Lu County, at most it is some sneaky things (情qíng), such a bad incident has never happened, but it makes Hong Tuo feel a little fresh.
Di Hexagram glanced at him: "How can I know this? Your father doesn't know much, how can he guess just these incomplete things?"
Hearing this, Hong was a little frustrated, so it seems that he will have to wait for Shucheng to solve the case to know the answer, but he doesn't know how long it will take to reach Doucheng, and he doesn't know if he was still at home at that time.
The two of them talked about something else, and walked all the way back to the courtyard, but saw that there were bright lights in the courtyard, and the two were puzzled, and they followed the lights to see, there was a bunch of lanterns stacked on top of each other, and in the lanterns, Ah Lu was biting the moon cakes.
"Phew!"
She spit out the mooncakes she had just bitten into her mouth, and her face was full of horror: "Why do mooncakes have mung bean flavors!"
Hong Tuo and Di Gu glanced at each other, and saw a little surprise in each other's eyes.
"What are you doing here?"
Hong teased and looked at the delicately tied lanterns, lotuses, rabbits, butterflies...... For a while, I was in a trance whether today was the Mid-Autumn Festival.
Ah Lu put down the moon cake and said happily: "Isn't it a festival! You Hongfu is so strange that there are no decent lanterns, I made some and took it back to Xishan for Ah Sheng to play with!"
“......”
Hong Tuo and Di glanced at each other, and after a moment of silence, Di Gu couldn't help but laugh.
"There is also a saying about playing with lanterns in the Mid-Autumn Festival, but it is more suitable for the Shangyuan Festival like the girl......"
Ah Lu looked down at the lantern next to him (身shēn), and then at the lantern hanging in Hongfu (日rì), which seemed to be different.
"The Mid-Autumn Festival lanterns are generally played by children or family members, and there are no large-scale lanterns to enjoy, but you say that it is for Ah Sheng, which is also appropriate. ”
Hong Tuo looked at the lanterns in that place, and picked up a nearby orange lamp, the lamp bone was tight, and the lamp surface was evenly pasted: "You made all this?"
Ah Lu nodded casually and continued to pull moon cakes to eat: "Yes, it's just a small thing." ”
Di hexagram said: "The green girl is a wood genus (sex xìng), ((cāo) cāo) to control these things, naturally. ”
Hong teased the orange lamp in his hand, held it casually in his hand, and watched her toss and turn in the moon cake with a disgusted expression.
"What kind of mooncakes do you want to eat, I asked someone to bring them to you, why bother to look at those few. ”
Ah Lu was overjoyed: "Really? That's so thankful, I said to have the same when I bought it, but it turned out to be mixed with a lot of mung bean paste, this boss!"
"Beans!"
Hong Tuo called out casually, and Doujiao, who had been guarding outside the hospital, walked in.
"What do you command, young master?"
"Let's go, prepare one of the mooncakes in the house, except for the bean filling. ”
Doujiao wondered in his heart, the young master has never (loved) these dim sums, tonight is it a turn?
"Yes"
Even if he was puzzled, Doujiao didn't dare to ask more, and soon retreated.
Ah Lu looked at Hong Tease gratefully, picked up the moon cakes in his hand, threw out all the mung bean paste, and then wrapped them again.
Seeing this, Hong Tuo went to pick up a piece of mooncake she put outside, and took a bite, the rustling of the mung bean filling mooncake spread in her mouth with a little cool taste, obviously not unpalatable.
Hong, who took another bite, asked Ah Lu: "This mung bean paste is not unpalatable, why don't you (love ài) eat it?"
A green hun (body shēn) stiffened: "How to say this, there is no other reason, it is that I myself can't get used to eating this thing......"
Hong Tuo didn't ask any more questions, slowly ate the moon cake in his hand, and didn't say anything more.
However, Di Gua saw that the atmosphere had a tendency to be silent, and remembered that Ah Lu would not come back if he was mostly fine, so he asked, "What is the matter with the green girl coming back tonight?"
This also asked Hong Tea's heart, but he didn't show it, but raised his eyes to look at Ah Lu.
Ah Lu slapped the table, and Hong Tuo noticed that there was a wine jug on the table, she picked it up, raised her hand and turned out three wine glasses and filled them one by one.
"After all, it's Mid-Autumn Festival tonight, so let's get acquainted and celebrate together. ”
Incomprehensible, Hong teased to look at Di Gua, who stepped forward and sat down, smiling: "This is nature." ”
Saying that, Di Gua picked up the wine glass in front of him, sniffed it lightly, and became intoxicated: "This osmanthus brewed fragrance is clear and intoxicating, and it is a rare and good product!"
After Di Gua finished speaking, he brought the wine glass to his mouth, drank a glass slowly, and was full of intoxication: "The wine is like silk, sliding down the throat, and the fragrance remains on the lips and teeth, making people nostalgic......"
As soon as you touch the wine of the digua, it is like turning on some terrible switch, and the mind will lose its normal thinking, and its heart will only be on the wine.
"If you like it!"
Ah Lu smiled and refilled Di Gua's glass, and then looked at Hong Tu, who was still standing.
For some reason, Hong Tuo suddenly felt that his breathing was tight, and he always felt that something was happening, so he was not willing to sit down next to Di Gua.
"You don't want to taste it?"
Seeing Hong Tuo sit down, Ah Lu smiled a little more, focused his eyes on the cup of osmanthus brew, and asked.
Hong Tuo always felt that Ah Lu was a little strange tonight, although he couldn't drink it even though he picked up the wine glass.
"Don't worry, it's not poisonous!"
Ah Lu sat down and put the wine jug down, and Di Gua, who couldn't wait there, hurriedly reached out and grabbed it, and poured himself the wine.
Ah Lu put his hand on the table, supported his head with his hand, and looked at Hong Tea: "Listen to the explanation (日rì) You are going to Lu County Mansions as guests......
Seeing Ah Lu speak, Hong Tuo put down the wine glass: "Yes, Lu County Decree invites everyone in Doucheng to admire the moon." ”
After listening to Hong's teasing, Ah Lu turned his gaze to Di Gua again: "Di Gua, let's talk about it, I will give you a drink of this osmanthus brew for a day, and I will go to Lufu on your behalf tomorrow, how about it?"
Di Gua, who was already addicted to drinking, heard this, and quickly nodded: "It's not much fun for me to go, if the green girl likes to go." ”
Hong teased and said, "How do you go for him?" What are you going to do in Lufu?"
"Won't you just go if you become like him?" Ah Lu smiled as a matter of course: "I'm going to solve the matter of the wind spirit (情qíng), plus there is another matter (情qíng) recently (情qíng) I need to go to the Lu Mansion to ask the Lu County Order......"
"What's the matter?"
"The thing you just heard about (情qíng), the destruction of the merchants in Shucheng ......"
Hong was shocked, and even Di Gua, who was addicted to drinking on the side, came back to his senses.
"Immortal...... What Master Hong said before, the girl knows?"
Shocked, Di Gu almost called the wrong name, and quickly changed his words and continued to ask.
Ah Lu nodded indifferently: "This case is not necessary to be tried (sex xìng), anyway, the murderer behind it will not be traced, but just pull out a person to make a scapegoat......"
