This summer, he can be considered eloquent on weekdays, but he just couldn't tell him to go. After hesitating for a while, he couldn't think of any way to do it, and he walked out dejectedly.
The front foot just stepped out of the threshold, but before the hind foot could catch up, I heard Lu Yi say behind him: "In the future, when there is no one else around, you'd better not step into my house, you can't avoid the vulgar people in this world. , Although Lu has no reputation, he still wants to keep some innocence."
These words were a bit mindless, she was stunned, turned her head hesitantly and asked, "The little guy who chews the tongue?"
"Today, in order to help you investigate the case, I had to entertain Miss Zhai, but I didn't want to, but there was a villain who said behind my back what kind of hungry ghost I was." Lu Yi turned around and didn't even look at her.
"… "
This summer, I finally understood the reason for this. I carefully recalled that there were footsteps outside the window at that time, but I ignored it, thinking that it was Lu Yi who was outside the window, and he listened to all those words. Now that she was annoyed that she didn't keep her mouth shut, it was too late. She couldn't find a good way to think about it, so she could only honestly say: "My lord, I was wrong! I said those words in a hurry to help Dayang. If you don't block it, your lord has a lot, forgive me this time, and I won't dare next time."
"Is your mouth open?" Lu Yi raised his eyebrows slightly.
At this time, Jin Xia's reaction was quick: "No, no, those words are just upside down, right and wrong, and maddening! My lord, please forgive me this time."
Lu Yi still ignored her, and his fingers seemed to brush the cross railings in the room inadvertently, and said to himself, "It's still a little gray..."
This summer was a little stunned, and then quickly said: "I'll come, I'll come, I'll help you clean!"
"Is it wrong?"
"It's right, making adults live comfortably is what a humble post should do." She said diligently.
Lu Yi didn't speak again, turned back to the desk, and continued to look at his picture, looking up and acting as if she wasn't there.
This should be the default meaning. This summer, I got the idea, turned around to get water and a rag, rolled up my sleeves and started scrubbing up and down. She was used to doing these tasks at home since she was a child. It was easy and quick, and now she works even harder, hoping that Lu Yi would get rid of the anger and hook up the two or three coins.
After a while, Gao Qing came in, and when he saw this, he glanced at her a few more times, without daring to ask any more, he cupped his hands and said to Lu Yi: "My lord has ordered someone to investigate it, I don't know if your lord has anything else. order?"
"It's nothing important for now." Lu Yizheng dipped his pen in ink, raised his eyes and said to him, "You've worked hard for the past two days, go back and rest, and come back early tomorrow."
"Thank you, my lord, I will retire from my position."
Gao Qing glanced at this summer again before exiting. The latter was struggling with the legs of the table. The lower part of the legs had a curled leaf decoration, which looked good, but dust accumulated in the recesses of the bars, which made it very troublesome to clean. Working hard. Looking at Lu Yi again, with a calm look, he looked like a cat playing a mouse, and he didn't know why Lu Yi wanted to embarrass this little catcher, he secretly shook his head.
Seeing noon, Lu Yi ignored this summer and went out on his own, probably for dinner. She became curious and took a rag to wipe the book case. Although she kept her hands on it, her eyes went straight to the case.
The map was right, and it was the map of Yangzhou City. She didn't bother to find the official post, then the police officer, and then the Zhai house that she visited yesterday, and the dock where she got on the boat today. …
He stared at the map for half a day, what was he looking at
Frowning this summer, I recalled that Lu Yi's finger at that time was a diagonal line extending to the upper left corner - the northwest side! Her eyes fell on the northwest corner of the map, and she carefully scanned it several times, but she couldn't find any problem.
Just when she was puzzled, Lu Yi had returned. Seeing that she was still scrubbing, he frowned and said, "Have you finished cleaning yet? I'm going to rest."
"Okay, it's done!" This Xia wiped it tightly, and smiled, "Look, my lord, this table, this chair, this cabinet, I have nothing to say about my work, it's so clean that I can use my tongue. Licking, if you don't believe me, try it."
Lu Yi didn't answer and looked at her dryly.
This summer, he also realized that there was something wrong with what he said. He covered it with a smirk, and then laughed again: "Sir, you see that I know I'm wrong, that, that... Silver... Is it... "
Lu Yi stared at her for a moment, then suddenly asked: "It's only two taels of silver, and it's just a sound when thrown into the water. Is it worth it for you to be so servile and aggrieved?"
Hearing this, the smile on his face slowly faded this summer, he lowered his head, and habitually rubbed his foot against the threshold lightly, saying, "Of course it's possible, those above you will naturally not know the difficulties we're dealing with. Now Dongchang , Xichang, Beizhen Fusi, and Nanzhen Fusi, you must know how many people they support and how much money they spend each year. On the contrary, the money apportioned by the three law divisions is less and less year by year, and the superior has repeatedly asked us to act frugally. Now, just renting a boat costs me a month's salary. If the boss goes to Master Liu to report the bill, he will definitely be reprimanded by him to see his face. It's better for me to be humble than him."
After listening, Lu Yi was silent, but listened to her and said:
"Besides, it's just cleaning the house, and it's not prostitution. I'm very good at this, and I don't feel wronged. Why do you think I look aggrieved when you look at it, my lord?"
Lu Yi helped her forehead, ignored her, and walked straight inside.
"My lord, my lord... That silver..." This summer persevered with a smile.
"There are two things. First, go out in the afternoon to see where Miss Zhai lives now, and give this to her for me." Lu Yi handed her a box, "and then find out what she has in her daily life. What do you like, what do you want to eat, what do you want to play."
After a few sniffs through the lid of the box, she raised her head and asked, "Spice?"
"Musk and borneol."
Weighing the weight of the box, I guessed that the spices in it were worth 30 to 40 taels this summer, but I don't know if the taels of silver were paid for by Lu Yi's own money bag or from the public account
Lu Yi changed his words, suddenly looked at her and said, "Shangguan Hall Master is a very nice person, I can see that your sister's name is sweet. The Wu An Gang has been here for a long time, and the Ruozhai family lives not far from the water. , I asked her and heard that I might be able to find it sooner."
"You asked me to find Shangguan Hall Master?" To be honest, because of the incident on the ship, I wanted to go to Shangguanxi this summer, but Lu Yi said this, and she couldn't help but wonder if he had seen through his mind.
"something wrong?"
"No no no no..."
Lu Yi then instructed: "Second thing, at the second watch tonight, go to the small building where Zhou Xian has lived, turn on the lights, and then open the windows. It will be the same as the night Zhou Xian had hanged himself, and then you will waiting inside."
Like the night of the suicide? Still have to wait? This summer, cold air bursts down your back: "Sir, are you trying to do this? Or are you hunting ghosts?"
Lu Yi glared at her.
She had to ask carefully, "When will the time be?"
"After the cock crows three times, you just blew the lamp and went downstairs... Also, don't tell others about this."
After hearing this, I felt a chill down my spine again this summer, and it was hard to refuse: "Then... silver..."
He said lightly: "This matter will be discussed in the future."
Since it is a reconsideration, at least there is room for negotiation, and I will happily take orders this summer.
At this time, noon was over, and it was quiet in the official post. Everyone was resting for noon, and it was estimated that the boss also rested this summer. Guessing that Yang Yue would keep food for herself, she turned to the kitchen to find food, but saw Yang Yue nest in the kitchen holding a radish and carving a flower.
"Dayang? Do you have any food?"
Yang Yue pouted into the cage next to him.
This summer, I opened the cage and saw a bowl of golden egg fried rice. I was overjoyed. I put the box aside, and hurriedly grabbed the bowl, took out the chopsticks, and put it in my mouth.
"What is this..." Yang Yue also sniffed through the box, "Musk, and borneol, these things are not cheap, where did you get them?"
"Where is it from me? Lord Lu ordered me to send it to Miss Zhai," Jin Xia swallowed, "and asked me to ask her what she likes, eats, and plays on weekdays. It seems that he is very interested in this girl Zhai. Really concerned."
Putting the carved radishes down, Yang Yue straightened up, and his tone was a little excited: "Is this for Miss Zhai?"
"yes."
"I'll go with you!"
I didn't expect to see her again so soon, Yang Yue kept turning around in the kitchen, and seeing this summer's eyes dazzled.
"You said she's not in good health, so she should eat something that nourishes her qi and blood... Stewed black chicken soup? No, no, it's too meaty..." He muttered to himself, "stewed agar-agar?..."
"We can't afford agar-agar," reminded him this summer.
"It has to replenish qi and blood, and it has to be delicious, refreshing, and easy to eat. She still wants to eat after eating..." Yang Yue racked his brains.
This summer sounds really exhausting.
"Millet cake, do you think it's okay?" After a long while, he finally came up with an idea.
This summer nodded like pecking at rice, and said in agreement: "Okay, this is good, by the way, steam more, I want to eat it too."
The millet is ready-made in the kitchen of the official post. At the moment, Yang Yue hurriedly washes the rice and grinds the flour. He does all kinds of things carefully without care. After half an hour, he opens the steamer, takes out the steamed millet cake, and waits for it. After the heat dissipated a little, carefully wrap the good-looking ones with clean paper, and wrap the rest to keep them in your arms this summer.
"Let's go, let's go quickly, this is best eaten while it's hot."
The two inquired about several piers where Wu An Gang haunted, and went to the nearest pier first. There were at least dozens of boats moored at the pier, and there was a lot of noise and excitement. Yang Yue was looking for a boat with the flag of the Wu'an Gang. This summer, he caught a glimpse of someone out of the corner of his eye. He looked very familiar, and then he looked closely, and couldn't help but grinned and said, "We are lucky today, and we will catch the right master as soon as we arrive!"
Yang Yue followed her gaze and saw a big man with a burly stature, long arms and legs, with his back facing them, he was tying the boat with a rope, and a bamboo hat on his head was lowered.
"Brother, is the old man willing to let you go out?"
This summer, I walked around to the front of the man and said with a smile.
This person is Xie Xiao, who was stunned when he saw Jin Xia, and then smiled: "Why are you here, I was thinking of looking for you."
"Why are you looking for me?" Jin Xia teased in a low voice, "Isn't your accident big enough that night? Half the city of Yangzhou was shaken three times. If I were an old man, I would lock you up for three months and wouldn't allow you to go out for half an hour. step."
"How do you know..." Xie Xiao stopped halfway through speaking and looked at her suspiciously. At this time, Yang Yue also came over and saluted him with a fist.
"Where's Sister Shangguan?" This summer looked to the side.
"She's not here. There was something in the gang yesterday. She went to Jiangning and hasn't come back yet."
