Bai Shao came over and helped her choose dishes together and said: "If it was before today, I would have answered you that the son just borrowed the marriage certificate to keep Miss Chen by his side. But now I can tell you that the son does intend to marry her as the princess."
"Why?" Ban Xia glanced at her.
Bai Shao said calmly: "Whether it's Miss Yao San, or Miss Biao Si, they are indeed beautiful, and their talents are not comparable to Miss Chen. But don't forget, my lord. What you are facing now, or what you will face in the future. What the young master wants is not only a concubine who can afford his status, but also a companion who can go hand in hand with him. Undoubtedly, Miss Chen is such a person."
"Just follow Miss Chen to have a body examination?" Ban Xia teased.
Bai Shao glanced at the plucked old hen next to her hand, and said indifferently: "Maybe, you should also go and have a look."
Ban Xia followed her words, and also glanced at the plucking old hen, "Forget it, I'm just asking casually."
"Just ask." Bai Shao put down the dishes in her hand, and before leaving, she kindly said, "Although Miss Chen comes from a humble background, she is not someone who can be manipulated by others. The old lady and Miss Biaosi are Not her match, I'm skeptical."
Ban Xia clicked his tongue twice, "I thought Yue Jian, Ruolan and Ling You were the ones who most supported Miss Chen to become a princess, but I didn't expect that you were better than them. Well, I just asked you on a whim. As for who the princess is, I don't care. As long as the young master thinks she is good and suitable, and she is also good to the young master, that's enough."
"It's good that you understand." Bai Shao said.
It was getting dark, but Muyuan Hall was still deserted.
Obviously, Xie Xuan has not come back yet.
Chen Chaoyan didn't ask either.
Early the next morning, after learning that Xie Xuan hadn't returned all night, Chen Chaoyan sent the maid outside the door to invite Feng Shoudao over, and then asked about what he hadn't finished yesterday.
"The two people who came before Shi Jiaoer and Shi Zhi lived in the Manfu Inn." Although it was a night, but the shadow of the autopsy had not yet dissipated, Feng Shoudao avoided Chen Chaoyan's gaze and looked at her. Asked about the residence of the person who came to Luyang County to check the account books of privately mined iron ore in the identity of a tourist or visiting relatives, he replied compulsively and calmly, "I sent someone to Manfu Inn to ask about the account books of Manfu Inn yesterday afternoon. The booklets are only kept in the warehouse for two years. After two years, they will be burned centrally. Therefore, the occupancy information of the two cannot be found."
"Then how did they check the account books when they came to Luyang County, and who did they check the account books with?" Chen Chaoyan asked.
"This, Wang Da said he didn't know." Feng Shoudao said, "According to Wang Da, at the beginning of each month, he will hand over the account books of the previous month to Qi Wu. He has never asked Qi Wu how to deal with it. As for The account book inspector came, let alone how Qi Wu handed over the account book to the other party for verification."
Chen Chaoyan asked unwillingly: "Then what about Shi Jiaoer and Shi Zhi? How much does he know, or how much does he know?"
"Like the two people who came before, Qi Wu didn't tell him until Shi Jiaoer and Shi Zhi settled down in Luyang County." Feng Shoudao replied, "According to Qi Wu's order, he, Shi Jiaoer, Shi Zhi Chi didn't have much contact with him, he only had a close relationship with the shopkeeper Fang of Yinhook Cabinet Square."
Chen Chaoyan asked: "Yuan Qianli, another shopkeeper of Silver Hook Cabinet..."
Feng Shoudao immediately said: "Wang Da wanted Yingou Cabinet to open another black market to sell their stolen goods, but Yuan Qianli refused."
Chen Chaoyan thought almost instantly that he wanted to use Qiu Jiu's identity as the bandit leader to rob passing merchants.After slightly lowering her eyes to hide her disgust, Chen Chaoyan looked at the blank paper that she hadn't written down, put down her pen and got up and said, "Master Feng, please."
"This is my job, but I have to worry about Miss Chen." Feng Shoudao also stood up, glanced at the blank paper in front of her, and said rather ashamedly, "In the end, I didn't find any useful information. , it really made Ms. Chen a joke."
"Master Feng is serious," Chen Chaoyan softened her voice, "I inquired about traveling merchants and people visiting relatives, just to confirm my guess about Shi Jiaoer and Shi Zhi's purpose of coming to Luyang County, it's not a serious matter It's my fault for bothering Mr. Feng to run around."
With that said, he bowed his hand and made an apology.
"Miss Chen is too polite." Feng Shoudao quickly returned the salute, and said, "Miss Chen wants to confirm her guess, but also to investigate the case. Don't talk about running around, she is willing to go up the mountain of swords and down the sea of fire."
The two kept courteously from the living room to the gate of the courtyard before Feng Shoudao left.
Chen Chaoyan looked at his retreating back, breathed a sigh of relief, turned around and entered the room.Holding a blank sheet of paper that didn't write down a single word, I thought about it.
Yue Jian came back after packing up the leftover tea, and waved her hand in front of her, "Miss Chen?"
Chen Chaoyan regained consciousness, looked at the white paper again, and said in an unclear way: "They have been mining iron ore privately for more than ten years, and in these ten years, the sheriff of Luyang County has changed two or three times, right? Did no one really find out what they were doing?"
Without waiting for Yuejian to reply, she said again: "I don't know if it's too late to regret it now."
Yue Jian said confusedly: "What do you regret?"
Chen Chaoyan said: "Nothing."
Xie Xuan didn't come back until the early morning of the third day.
When she came back, Chen Chaoyan was fast asleep.
But Yuejian called out forcibly.
"Young master is back." Yuejian reminded in a low voice.
Chen Chaoyan didn't wake up, but it wasn't because of the sudden case that woke her up from her deep sleep, but she said annoyedly: "Come back when you're back, what did you call me to do?"
"Didn't the concubine say a few days ago that she wanted to stand beside this king in an open and honest manner?" Xie Xuan seemed to have quenched the ice, with Xia Ye's cool voice, fluttering from the direction of the door, "This king will give it to you now." Opportunity, still not coming?"
Chen Chaoyan narrowed her eyes and followed the sound to look over.Seeing Xie Xuan illuminated by seven or eight palace lanterns, he rolled his eyes speechlessly, then slipped back into the quilt and fell asleep: crazy!
Xie Xuan walked into the house with a low smile, then went to the bed and stood still, and tapped her quilted head twice with the jade bone landscape fan, "If you don't get up again, you won't be able to see the rising sun."
Chen Chaoyan quickly lifted the quilt, "What do you mean?"
Xie Xuanman casually glanced at her exposed half shoulder, "In half an hour, Lingyou will escort Qiyang to the capital."
"Now?" Chen Chaoyan frowned.
Xie Xuanji corrected patiently: "After half an hour."
Chen Chaoyan sat up, her gaze was calm: "What happened?"
Xie Xuan looked away calmly, "The matter of Luyang County is over, it's time to go."
"Then there's no need to be in a hurry." Yue Jian brought the clothes, and Chen Chaoyan lifted the quilt and was about to get out of bed.Yue Jian quickly pressed down the quilt, and then took a quick look at Xie Xuan.Xie Xuan turned around and left.While pulling up the inner garment that had slipped off for her, Yuejian muttered: "Miss Chen, please have some time. Although the young master has written a marriage letter for you, you should be more careful before you get married."
After she finished speaking, she didn't wait for Chen Chaoyan to say anything, she muttered again: "My lord, too. I know that Miss Chen has already fallen asleep at this time, so I don't know if I want to come over and let the servant come in to say something. Although there are no outsiders here, there will be no one. Whoever goes out and talks nonsense, but Miss Chen hasn't reached the point yet, even if..."
Chen Chaoyan looked at her with a half-smile, "Stop what, just keep talking."
Yue Jian blushed, "What are you going to say?"
"Keep talking about what you said just now." Chen Chaoyan lifted the quilt, let her wait on her while dressing, and said, "Whatever it is, huh?"
Yuejian gave a light pooh, "Miss Chen is not ashamed either!"
"Why should I be ashamed? I didn't say anything." Chen Chaoyan clicked twice, "It's you, why are you blushing? Are you thinking about some inappropriate scenes?"
"What kind of picture is not suitable for children, bah!" Yue Jian said shamelessly, "Stop talking nonsense!"
"It's not suitable for children, it's that girls like me who haven't grown up can't think about it, they can only think about it after they get married, or wedding candles..." Chen Chaoyan said halfway, when Yuejian covered her mouth.Seeing Yue Jian's face blushed with shame, Chen Chaoyan couldn't help laughing after pushing away her hand.
"You're still laughing!" Yue Jian wanted to cover her mouth again, Chen Chaoyan quickly surrendered, "Okay, okay, I won't laugh anymore."
Yuejian threatened: "If you want to laugh again, I'll tell Ruolan to tell the young master that you want to get married right now!"
Chen Chaoyan quickly stopped laughing, and promised: "I really don't laugh anymore."
Moon snorted.
Chen Chaoyan, who was dozed off and fully awake, hooked her hand, "Okay, don't be angry, let's go quickly. It's late, Lingyou and Qiyang should go."
Yue Jian didn't hear the teasing meaning in her words, rubbed her face, wiped away the blushing on her face, and followed her out of Zhai Xing Tower with repeated warnings.
Xie Xuan was waiting for her outside the door.
Chen Chaoyan glanced at the five-linked round ram horn palace lantern carried by Shi Shu and Wen Mo, and asked, "I'm in such a hurry to set off, did I find Qi Wu?"
Xie Xuan didn't answer but asked instead: "Miss Chen is reluctant to leave Luyang County?"
fine.
Chen Chaoyan simply shut up.
Chen Qiyang was obviously woken up in his deep sleep. Although he was packing his things quickly, he could still clearly see sleepiness in his expression.Seeing Chen Chaoyan approaching, he instinctively called out 'sister', and continued to pack up, but his movements became slower and slower.
Chen Chaoyan walked over, pulled him over and hugged him, and patted his head lightly, "Are you scared?"
Chen Qiyang shook his head, but the tears that he had been holding back after seeing her suddenly fell out.
Chen Chaoyan took out a handkerchief, wiped away his tears, and said, "I believe in you."
Chen Qiyang's eyes were still red with tears welling up, but he forcibly held back when he heard her words.Eyes brushed by tears looked at her brightly and said, "Sister, don't worry, I will definitely study hard!"
"Not only must you study hard, but you must also take good care of yourself." Chen Chaoyan said gently, "When I am free, I will go to the capital to see you."
"Sister should take good care of herself." Chen Qiyang said.
Chen Chaoyan nodded, and after wiping away the tears overflowing from the corners of his eyes, he patted his shoulder and said, "When you get to the capital, if you miss me, you can write to me."
Chen Qiyang should be fine.
Chen Chaoyan tilted her head and looked at him with a smile, "Then, I'm going to the capital soon, is there anything you want to say to me?"
"Why?" Ban Xia glanced at her.
Bai Shao said calmly: "Whether it's Miss Yao San, or Miss Biao Si, they are indeed beautiful, and their talents are not comparable to Miss Chen. But don't forget, my lord. What you are facing now, or what you will face in the future. What the young master wants is not only a concubine who can afford his status, but also a companion who can go hand in hand with him.
