Chapter 25 of the Silver Ticket Scroll of the Urging Order, the Wine Shop
The Wei Mansion is still open, and because Wei Zhouli lives a simple life, there are not many people. Pen ~ fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info Su Zhuo walked all the way into the house, and no one stopped him. There was no one in the main hall, so the three of them made a detour to the backyard.
As soon as I entered the garden, I happened to see an eleven or twelve-year-old boy writing on a stone table in the pavilion next to the flower path, which was the son of Wei Zhouli who I saw that day. Su Zhuo couldn't help but step forward and stood behind the young man and watched. His hands and feet were slight, and he didn't make a sound, and the boy wrote carefully, but he didn't notice it.
Qin Lei and Li Hong looked at each other, and it was not easy to come forward to disturb them, so they had to wait patiently. Su Zhuo looked at it for a long time, and couldn't help but read: "However, Qin has a small land, and the momentum of ten thousand times has been in the same row for more than a hundred years. Then he took the house of Liuhe and the letter of the dead as the official; one husband made difficulties and seven temples, and died at the hands of others, so why not be the laugher of the world?
When he read the first sentence, the young man was already conscious, put down his pen, and hurriedly got up and saluted, "Sir!"
Su Zhuo has been teaching for three years and has a good impression of the students. Although his heart was clouded by the difficulty of solving the mystery, he still smiled and said: "This is the "Treatise on the Passage of Qin" by Jia Yi, a famous scholar in the Western Han Dynasty, I can't imagine that you have already started to learn such an article at such a young age!"
The young man said respectfully: "Mr. has won the award." This is my mother's assignment, and I actually know a lot about it!"
Su Zhuo said: "A teenager as old as you is still studying Confucius and Mencius and the Four Books. It's really rare to learn this kind of article. You are still young, and it is not easy for you to be able to comprehend it!" he flipped through the articles copied on the table and found that Qin had copied them four or five times. Further on, there are Li Si's "Book of Exhortations to Guests", Han Feizi's "Five Worms" and Wei Zheng's "Ten Thoughts of Emperor Taizong" and so on. The more Su Zhuo looked at it, the more curious he became, and asked, "These are all the homework assigned by Lingtang, why did you copy the first few articles once or twice, but in the end, I copied the Qin Treatise four or five times?"
The boy replied, "Mother has been busy for the past two days, and she has not had time to assign new homework. So I'm going to copy this one a few more times!"
Su Zhuo nodded, and asked again, "I heard that you are leaving?"
The boy replied, "Yes, my mother wants to take me back to Jiangzhou." ”
As soon as the words fell, Wei Zhouli's wife had already walked over quickly, and said apologetically to Su Zhuo and the others: "I don't know how many adults have visited, and I am really sorry for missing the welcome!"
Su Zhuo saw that she took off the mourning mansion today and wore a plain white shirt. Although elegant, the workmanship is cut and all exquisite. There are also several cloud motifs embroidered between the sleeves. Qin Lei said: "Mrs. Wei is serious, we are just passing by here and taking the liberty to disturb." This Mr. Su used to be a private school teacher, and when he talked about learning with Ling Gongzi, he fell in love with each other!"
Mrs. Wei smiled faintly and said to the young man, "Yun'er, you go back to the room first." ”
The boy packed up his pen and paper and hurried away. Su Zhuo said: "Mrs. Wei, I heard that you are leaving Jinling?"
Mrs. Wei nodded and said, "My husband is deceased, and there is nothing worth remembering here! Therefore, I think it is better to leave this place of right and wrong as soon as possible!"
"When are you leaving?" asked Su Zhuo.
Mrs. Wei replied, "Tomorrow morning, we will leave." ”
"So fast!" Qin Lei exclaimed.
Mrs. Wei smiled apologetically: "These two **** heard that something happened to several shopkeepers, so they were busy appeasing their families, and forgot to tell a few head catchers about it." ”
Su said clumsily: "But the case of the shopkeeper Wei has not been solved yet, doesn't Madame want to know who the murderer is?"
Mrs. Wei sighed and said, "What if you know? I believe that Qin Zhutou will definitely bring the real culprit to justice and comfort the soul of the deceased in the sky!"
A wave of pride rose in Qin Lei's heart, and he said loudly: "Madam, don't worry, I, Qin Lei, will definitely catch this murderer with my life!"
Mrs. Wei bowed slightly to express her gratitude. Su Zhuo asked, "Forgive me for taking the liberty of asking Madame, apart from your mother and son, there are other people living in the Wei Mansion?"
Mrs. Wei was stunned and said, "There is a housekeeper and seven or eight subordinates. I don't know what Mr. Su is asking for this?"
Su Shu said: "I don't want to ask the next person, but I want to ask, are there any strange people in the house?"
Mrs. Wei shook her head and said, "This mansion is not big, if there are others, how can I not know?"
Su Zhuo nodded, frowning and silent. Mrs. Wei said again: "It's lunch time soon, why don't you stay and have a light meal?"
Qin Lei hurriedly shook his hand and said, "Thank you Madame for your kindness, we have other things, so we won't bother!"
Mrs. Wei sent a few people to the door and said some words of thanks. Qin Lei and the others left the Wei Mansion at this time. Su Zhuo was silent all the time, and Qin Lei asked, "Su Zhuo, what do you want to know about this trip?"
Su Zhuo shook his head and sighed. Li Hong said: "I know there is a wine shop near here, why don't we go there and sit down and talk slowly!"
Qin Lei applauded loudly, and regardless of whether Su Zhuo wanted to or not, he followed Li Hong and left. The three of them came to a small liquor shop, saying that it was a liquor store, but it was nothing more than a house in a deep alley. There were no guests inside, a middle-aged man sat in the doorway, listless. Qin Lei frowned and said, "This is a wine shop?"
As soon as the words fell, the three of them stepped into the door and smelled a strong aroma of wine. Qin Lei's original tone of suspicion immediately turned into exclamation: "Good wine! I have been in Jinling for so many years, but I don't know that there is such a wine shop in this place!"
Li Hong waited for the two to sit down and said, "The boss here has a strange temper, if he is an unfamiliar guest, he is reluctant to bring out really good wine." I'll have to talk to him first!"
Qin Lei said happily: "Okay!" Li Hong left, Qin Lei saw that Su Zhuo was still frowning and silent, and said, "Brother Su, can't even good wine make you smile?"
Su Zhuo suddenly said: "It must be hidden in the Wei Mansion!"
Qin Lei was startled and said, "You, what are you talking about?"
Su Zhuo approached Qin Lei and said in a low voice: "Qin Zhutou, I want you to visit the Wei Mansion tonight!"
Qin Lei's eyes widened, and he said, "Explore the Wei Mansion?"
Su Zhuo whispered a few words, and Qin Lei's face changed and became gloomy. After Su Zhuo finished speaking, Li Hong and the middle-aged man also came back with wine. Li Hong said with a smile: "I have explained to the boss, these pots are definitely the best wine in Jinling!"
Su Zhuo smiled and said, "That's the best! I can't wait." ”
Qin Lei let out a "hmm". Li Hong said: "This boss is not only good at wine, but also has excellent cooking skills. We must not be drunk today!"
Qin Lei said: "Li Zhutou, we still have work to do later, just fill your stomach." ”
Li Hong was stunned for a moment and said, "Okay! ”
Qin Lei really didn't say more, simply had lunch, and beckoned Li Hong to leave. Su Zhuo sat alone in the wine shop, and the wine brought by the boss was indeed rare, and it was more mellow than Yu Yaochun. Su Zhuo was thinking about his thoughts while drinking, and the three pots of wine on the table gradually bottomed out, and the sky outside had already darkened.
Su Zhuo didn't feel drunk, looking at the sky, thinking that Qin Lei might have already started to act. He shouted again, "Boss, another jug of wine!"
The middle-aged man, still with a straight face, brought a jug of wine, said nothing, and went to the backyard. Su Zhuo poured a glass of wine and was about to taste it. Suddenly, someone outside the door whispered, "If you are afraid that you will not die fast enough, just drink it!" (To be continued.) )
