As soon as she walked to the kitchen door, Shi Shuiyue smelled an appetizing fragrance coming to her face.

"Da da da......" Shi Shuiyue unconsciously quickened her pace and walked into the kitchen.

In the kitchen, there was only one aunt who was neither fat nor thin in front of the stove, and the fragrance came from the plates of delicacies on the stove.

"It smells so good. Shi Shuiyue was very envious of this, if she was asked to do it, she would definitely not be able to do this effect.

"Madame has won the award, I just use the most ordinary ingredients, where can I compare with the delicacies of the mountains and seas that the royal nobles are busy with?" The aunt put the dishes in the pot on a plate, and then turned her head and said to Shi Shuiyue.

The aunt has a delicate face, and she must have been a beautiful embryo when she was young.

"How do you know I'm a lady?" Shi Shuiyue asked rhetorically, this chef is a new recruit, and it is impossible to know her.

Facing Shi Shuiyue's suspicions, the aunt smiled, and then explained unhurriedly: " Of course, I don't know them, but I have seen two people in this house, one is the cold man who invited me to cook, and the other is you, and I heard from the neighbors that someone came back to live in this house, and it happened that when I came into the house, I saw the carriage parked at the door, so I guessed that there were only four people in this family at most, because the capacity of the carriage can only seat four people, so far, I have only seen you and the cold man, and Mrs. You happen to comb the women's hairpin, so I made up my own conclusion, no, I guessed that it is not far from ten。 ”

After listening to her aunt's explanation, Shi Shuiyue seemed to be in a detective show.

"You are so amazing!" Shi Shuiyue sincerely admired: "Even these can be deduced, why do you still want to be a cook?"

The eldest aunt smiled and said, "Madame is serious, I'm just used to paying attention to these, but it's a pity...... Hey......"

"What's wrong?" Shi Shuiyue looked at her aunt puzzled, why did she suddenly sigh?

The aunt sighed and said carefully: "I was originally a servant of the Yamen, and I met my husband when I was working in the Yamen, and he was just a new head catcher at the time, I heard that it was because of his outstanding performance and was specially arranged by the Yamen, I was also very curious about him, but unfortunately I have not had the opportunity to know, and in one case, I worked with him and became familiar with it a little, and then the two of us were together, and I immediately became pregnant and gave birth to a lovely daughter, but ......"

When she heard her aunt say that she was a man, Shi Shuiyue couldn't help but be surprised, you must know that in ancient times, the status of a woman could be described as low and low, and even a man could not stand this kind of public opinion, let alone just a delicate woman.

Because it is very hard to examine the corpse, and the feudal ideology is particularly serious in ancient times, it is generally a pariah or slave to check the corpse and report the situation to the official, which is equivalent to the ancient forensic doctor.

It's just that the work in this world can be regarded as a profession now, but a good look like an aunt is still a woman's work, and Shi Shuiyue has heard of it for the first time.

In ancient times, 仵作 belonged to one of the 36 lines, called "仵作行". In fact, the examination of injuries is mainly carried out on the corpses of very deceased people, and the examination of the cause of death is similar to that of later forensic medicine.

Xie is a general brawl, and the test method is relatively simple.

The autopsy is much more complicated, and it is necessary to report the detailed results of the examination to the company without dissecting the corpse for reference in the conclusion of the case. Therefore, it is necessary to know a lot of professional knowledge, be proficient in anatomy and pharmacological pathology, know where the meridians are injured, which organs are endangered, and what symptoms of what kind of poison appears. Therefore, almost all of them are taught by famous teachers. Conscientious and responsible, the examination of the corpse is extremely detailed, from the hair to the nails, never let go of any details, a corpse always has to be searched again and again, looking for suspicious places.

Those corpses that have decayed, and there are ways to verify them by clever tricks, and even determine what kind of poison was in the middle of the original according to the color of the dry bones.

"But what, what happened to make you come out of the yamen and become a chef instead?" Shi Shuiyue was very curious, she had also read a lot of things about the work in the book, I don't know what others thought, anyway, she saw it with a lot of feelings_(:з"∠)_

The aunt tried tears with her sleeve and choked up: "But my lovely daughter, my heart is ......."

It turned out that the aunt's sixteen-year-old daughter suddenly disappeared, and the husband and wife searched for a long time but did not find it, and her husband also unfortunately fell from the mountain and died unexpectedly when he was looking for his daughter.

Seeing that the aunt was crying so sadly, Shi Shuiyue also felt uncomfortable in her heart, so she could only comfort: "Maybe your daughter is still alive now, I believe you will find her." ”

Who knew that the aunt shook her head and said, "Impossible, impossible ......"

The aunt's original name was Zhan Yunna, and on the night of her daughter's disappearance, she happened to be unable to get away because of the Yamen case, and it wasn't until she came back the next day that Zhan Yunna knew that her daughter was missing.

The husband, who also didn't return all night, also knew that his daughter was gone, where did he have other thoughts, and after telling a few good brothers in the yamen, he searched for it all night, but unfortunately a few days later, there was still no news of his daughter.

Zhan Yunna was also anxious, and went to the streets and alleys every day to look for her daughter's traces, who knew that her daughter was not found, but received the news that her husband was dead.

Zhan Yunna almost fainted without two eyes, but she still supported herself and went to the yamen to collect her husband's body.

They said that the husband unfortunately fell from the mountain and died unexpectedly while looking for his daughter, but how could Zhan Yunna, who was a servant, not see it? The husband was obviously shattered by the internal force, but unfortunately there were very few people who knew martial arts at that time, Zhan Yunna obviously told them many times, but they still didn't believe it; in fact, it was better to say that they didn't believe it, it was better to deliberately not believe it, if it was really as Zhan Yunna said, it was very likely that the person who killed her husband would be a person with strong martial arts, and their yamen did not deal with the affairs of the rivers and lakes, anyway, more things are better than less things, everyone forgot about this matter, Zhan Yunna was also completely heartbroken, and left the yamen.

Zhan Yunna was returning home, only then did she receive a letter sent back by her husband not long ago, and when she opened it, there was only a short sentence on it:

The daughter may be in Yuxumen.

Only then did Zhan Yunna know that this "person with strong martial arts" was likely to be someone inside the Yuxu Gate, so she pretended to open a shop on the street, and the opposite side of the store was the Yuxu Gate, which was convenient for her to observe.

Although with her observation, she found something wrong, but in the absence of evidence, Zhan Yunna had no way to rashly 'frame' Yuxumen, and so on, several years have passed.

"Yuxumen, do you mean the famous Yuxumen on the rivers and lakes?" Although he already knew that this was good, Shi Shuiyue couldn't help but ask.

Zhan Yunna, who didn't seem to have much emotional fluctuations in Shi Shuiyue's reaction, was not surprised, nodded and said, "That's right, it's that Jade Void Gate." ”

"......" Shi Shuiyue didn't know what she should say, since she went to visit Dye Feng, that wrong emotion had been circling in her heart, until she heard Zhan Yunna's words, the feeling in her heart was getting stronger and stronger.

"Hey......" Zhan Yunna shook her head slightly, and said helplessly: "Yes, I actually told Mrs. so much, this dish is estimated to be cold, let me heat it up again." Zhan Yunna turned around and poured the dishes back into the pot to reheat them.

After that, Shi Shuiyue didn't ask anything more, and helped Zhan Yunna put the food on the plate and put it in the box, ready to carry it for Tang Xun.

When Shi Shuiyue was leaving, she still couldn't bear to say to Zhan Yunna: "Your daughter will definitely come back." ”

Zhan Yunna was slightly stunned, and then nodded at Shi Shuiyue with a smile, but the smile was a little reluctant no matter how you looked at it.

"Tang Xun?" When Shi Shuiyue came back with food, Tang Xun still maintained the same posture as when she left, he stared at the table and didn't speak, as if he was in a daze, until he heard Shi Shuiyue's voice, he came back to his senses, raised his head and looked at Shi Shuiyue and smiled: "What's wrong?"

Shi Shuiyue put the lunch box on the table, sat next to Tang Xun and said, "Let's think about those things after eating." ”

For Shi Shuiyue's words, Tang Lu has never refused.

After eating, Shi Shuiyue put away her rice bowl and looked at Tang Xun who bowed her head and pondered with a little worry.

I don't know what's going on, after returning from the Yuxu Gate, Tang Xun's mood seems to have suddenly become depressed.

"Tang Xun, is there anything unhappy?" Shi Shuiyue still couldn't help asking, Tang Xun's appearance really made her very worried.

Tang Xun was slightly stunned when he heard this, and then smiled: "Ah, it's a little bit......

"Then, can you and I help you......" Shi Shuiyue was a little helpless, as if she really couldn't help with anything......

Tang Xun thought for a while and said gently: "Then can you sing me a song, I think my mood should be better." "If it was Shi Shuiyue before, he might be able to jump out of the joke in Tang Xun's tone, but now that Shi Shuiyue is all about Tang Xun, where can he still pay attention to this?

Merely...... Shi Shuiyue was a little embarrassed, she sang, it was really not very good.

Seeing Shi Shuiyue's hesitant appearance, Tang Xun smiled secretly in his heart, but the expression on his face suddenly dimmed, and said in a low voice: "If you don't want to, forget it, I just want to be alone and quiet......"

Shi Shuiyue was in a hurry, and she didn't care about anything else, so she agreed directly: "Okay!"

Then Tang Xun laughed.

Shi Shuiyue looked at Tang Xun's smile, only to realize that she was tricked by Tang Xun, her old face turned red, and she shouted coquettishly: "Tang Xun!"

Tang Xun waved his hands and laughed, which made Shi Shuiyue's face even redder.

Ahhh!!h
