Ji Yunshu smiled.
Reached out and touched the horse's head.
He responded, "It's not a god, but when those boxes were smashed open just now, because of my sharp eyes, I saw a few tiger skins inside."
"So that's the case." The man asked again, "But how does the son know that those tiger skins have been sewn, but they don't smell? Could it be that the son also understands skins?"
Ji Yun smiled modestly, and glanced at those people, "Look at your clothes, you don't look like people from the capital, they should be business travelers who come to Beijing to buy and sell, right? And those tiger skins just now seem to come from the Nanlin area, they are authentic. Gao tiger skins, if I remember correctly, are extremely precious, and there are only less than 20 of them a year. Only the rich and wealthy merchants can afford the price. It is precisely because of their preciousness that those merchants ask for the best. The craftsmen carefully cut it. You businessmen are naturally worried that a good piece of leather will be ruined, so they did not over-process it, but simply sewed it, so that the tiger skin still retains the original taste and taste. Although it's not big, the horse's sense of hearing and smell are naturally very sensitive, and when the box was smashed open, the smell was exposed, which disturbed the horse."
"It seems that the son is an expert."
"I just read more books, I can't get into it. If I'm wrong, please forgive me." She smiled slightly.
The man looked at her with admiration, and the little boy in front of him looked fair and clean, although he was a little thinner, but judging from his speech and manners, he should be a scholar full of knowledge.
"Young master is handsome, and he is quite knowledgeable. Under the emperor's feet, within the capital, is really a good place for talents to come out." The man bowed his hands and bowed, "His surname is Gao, and the word is fierce. He is from Anlang, this time it is This is the first time I went to Beijing to do tiger skin business, and I thanked the young master for his help before settling down the frightened horse.
"you are welcome."
"And since the son still has something to do, don't delay."
Ji Yunshu nodded lightly.
Gao Meng hurriedly had the carriage pulled away to clear the road.
Thank you again.
Ji Yunshu bowed his hands in return.
Then he pulled Tang Si, who was watching the fun, onto the carriage.
Inside the carriage.
Tang Si looked at her with admiration, "Aji, you really know everything, you can draw bones, you can see dead people, you can solve murder cases, even the origin of those tiger skins and the habits of horses. You all know that as a Hou Liao native, I should have the most research on horses, but I’m still not as good as you. Seriously, if you were in our Hou Liao, there would definitely be many men lining up to marry you and marry you back. Home, serve like a god."
for
Shame!
Without getting a response, she leaned closer, staring curiously at Ji Yunshu's white and tender face, "I never saw you put your hair down, nor did I see you wearing women's clothing, Aji, if you do it back A woman must be beautiful."
"Yes?"
"Sure, otherwise, how could that Lord Leng be so infatuated with you?"
Ji Yunshu looked at her sideways and asked seriously, "So you think a man is infatuated because of a woman's appearance?"
Uh!
Tang thought for a while, "It should be, but—not all."
Ji Yunshu was silent.
The breeze blew across the wall of the car, lifted the curtain, poured in slowly, rubbed against her delicate face, and... the very shallow scar beside the corner of her eye.
She raised her hand to touch the scar.
Laughed…
If you truly love someone, no matter what she becomes, she will never leave her!
Back to Zhuxi Garden.
The people Jingrong had arranged to take care of here were all greeted outside.
"Mr. Ji, you're finally back." asked the old housekeeper Liang Bo.
"Thank you, Uncle Liang."
"Unfortunately."
Liang Bo said, "According to the instructions of the gentleman when he left, the remaining 11 coffins were sealed safely. The seals were sealed with lard, and they were all covered with licorice. Now they are all placed in the main room."
report.
"It can be incense."
"Three pillars a day, one pillar is a lot."
She nodded.
go in.
All the way to the backyard hall past.
Tang Si looked like a tourist, looking around in the yard.
From time to time, I pick up small stones and throw them on the eaves, and from time to time I pull up a branch and turn it in my hand...
This place is not as big as Prince Rong's mansion, and things are very old, but the layout of the furnishings and courtyards are very elegant!
Liang Bo asked curiously, "Mr. Ji, who is this girl?"
She said casually, "An ignorant friend."
"It turned out to be Mr. Ji's friend,"
Liang Bo looked at the girl in a muffled voice. Mr. Ji was gentle and quiet. Shouldn't the people he met be the same
why this girl...
That's it.
When we arrived at the main room in the backyard, as soon as we entered, we saw 11 coffins placed in two rows.
In front of each coffin is a censer filled with incense.
"Why are there so many coffins here?" Tang Si was shocked.
Ji Yunshu didn't respond, took three incense sticks, lit them, bowed, and inserted them into one of the incense burners.
Then he pointed to a coffin that he had marked before leaving, and instructed Uncle Liang, "The skeleton in the coffin, I have already painted the portrait when I was on the way, you can arrange it and bury it as soon as possible. Will tick names off the roster."
"Okay, Mr. Ji."
should be down.
The skeleton in the coffin was the skeleton that had been burnt to death and had been changed and sprinkled with ginger powder.
That is - Faber's son.
If it weren't for the little prince of the Duke Yu's residence, she really wanted to transport the skeleton to Jinjiang and hand it over to Uncle Fu to bury it in person.
But she took a deep breath and said nothing.
Tang Si approached and asked curiously, "Aji, who is this coffin in?"
"What's in the coffin, of course, is a dead person."
Uh!
Miss, when I didn't ask.
Ji Yunshu walked to a coffin and touched the seal of the coffin lid with her hand. It was greasy because it was covered with lard. She moved it on her fingertips.
Tang Si asked, "What's the use of lard sticking here?"
"Lard can act as a seal. In this way, whether it is air or water, it is difficult to enter in a short period of time, and the bones inside will not be damaged much."
"What about the licorice?"
Point to the licorice on the ground and on the coffin.
"Licorice itself is a medicine. It not only has the effect of clearing heat and detoxifying, but also disperses diseases and insects with its fragrance. It is covered on the coffin to avoid the trouble of being bitten by insects or mice. Put a layer of licorice around the place of burial, or, if conditions are good, geraniums."
Oh, Tang Si understands.
Ji Yunshu, Ji Yunshu, you are a walking encyclopedia!
