Little Fujin

At the ball, the clothes are fragrant and the temples are shadowed, and the cups are staggered.Mrs. Gu brought Ms. Zhao, the daughter of the Director of Finance, to greet Zhan Xi.

Ms. Zhao has a very beautiful appearance, wearing a white off-the-shoulder mermaid dress with a shining diamond necklace on her chest.Among so many well-dressed ladies and ladies, she still doesn't look inferior.

Zhanxi greeted her, and Baizhu seemed to know her too.

Miss Zhao had just the right amount of surprise on her face, "It turns out that Miss Bai is here too."

Lin Ruan looked at Miss Zhao, then at Bai Zhenzhu, he figured out some meaning of confrontation.Zhan Xi and Mrs. Gu must know better.But the faces of both of them remained unchanged, as if they were used to such small scenes.

It seems that Miss Bai is not a very popular person.

Mrs. Gu spoke to Zhan Xi in a low voice, and Zhan Xi had a smile on her face, "It's a good match for Gu Ji."

Mrs. Gu smiled even more.

Ms. Zhao stopped after saying a few words. If she talked too much in this scene, she would feel aggressive.In this regard, Miss Bai is inferior.

Under the background of Ms. Zhao, Bai Zhenzhu lost her aura, she said goodbye to Zhanxi lightly, and went to another place.

Suddenly there was movement at the gate, and the guests who came at this time were obviously unusual.

Mrs. Gu said something to Ms. Zhao, walked over alone, looked at Zhan Xi and Lin Ruan, "You must go and meet this person."

Saying that, a person walked in the door.

It was a young man, wearing a black double-breasted robe with auspicious clouds and dark patterns, and a pair of satin shoes on his feet. He was one of the few men in the ball wearing Chinese clothes.He was very good-looking, with peach blossom eyes and thin lips, but he gave off an unserious feeling, with an evil look in his eyebrows and eyes.

Lin Ruan saw a string of red agate bracelets hanging on his wrist.

"This is Master Wuwei's apprentice, Master Suanzi." Mrs. Gu said.

Hearing this, Zhan Xi's eyes moved.

Master Wuwei was the master who told Zhan Xi's fortune back then, and he was the one who brought Lin Ruan to Prince Jin's mansion.Master Wuwei has never appeared since then.Some people say that he went south to Shanghai, others say that he has gone abroad, and some say that he is dead. There are many speculations, but none of them have been confirmed.

This master operator seems to be very famous. As soon as he appeared, many people came forward to say hello.The crowd surrounded him and spontaneously made a way for him.

However, being surrounded by so many dignitaries, Master Suanzi still didn't change his face, which seemed a little complacent.

Mrs. Gu said: "Perhaps you should get to know him."

She looked at Zhan Xi, Zhan Xi was indifferent, and he, who has received a civilized education, naturally wouldn't believe it.He didn't move, and Lin Ruan stood beside him, not daring to move.

Mrs. Gu didn't force it, and after a while, Master Suanzi walked in front of several people.Mrs. Gu came forward to greet him as the host. Master Suanzi behaved very casually, without any pretensions of a master.

Lin Ruan looked at him curiously, just in time to meet his casual glance.The operator looked at Lin Ruan, looked him up and down, and suddenly showed an inexplicable smile.

Lin Ruan frowned slightly, feeling that this operator was somewhat familiar.

The operator was invited by Mrs. Gu, Lin Ruan stood where he was, thought and thought, but couldn't figure out why.

Zhan Xi nodded his forehead, "What are you thinking?"

Lin Ruan shook her head and asked, "Sir, don't we really want to go and have a look?"

After a while, Master Suanzi was surrounded by many people.Zhan Xi took a sip of her wine, shook her head, "Noisy."

Lin Ruan stopped talking, it was rare that there was no one around Zhan Xi, Lin Ruan followed him wherever he went.

After a while, the music sounded again, and this was the last dance.Everyone returned to the center of the dance floor.Many people invited Gu Liufeng and Gu Huixue, but they refused.The last dance, the two of them will dance.

Marshal Gu and Mrs. Gu also walked to the dance floor, and Gu Ji's dance partner was Miss Zhao, whom Mrs. Gu liked very much.Miss Bai's partner is a young man, whom Lin Ruan doesn't know, but they have a good chat.

Zhan Xi put down his wine glass, bent slightly towards Lin Ruan, and stretched out his hand.

Lin Ruan was taken aback, he was used to seeing Zhanxi's back, but he had never seen Zhanxi bending over in front of him.Lin Ruan was a little at a loss, he thought he might have been in a daze for a long time, but Zhan Xi's hand never retracted.

Lin Ruan came to her senses and handed her hand to Zhan Xi in a hurry.

As soon as he touched Zhan Xi, Lin Ruan's hands were tightened instantly.Zhan Xi embraced him and walked onto the dance floor, with a gesture of complete control and irresistibility.

Lin Ruan looked up at Zhan Xi, who still had a calm face, with a slight but perfect curvature of the corners of his mouth.His eyes, those eyes containing stars, became deeper and deeper under the lamp, making Lin Ruan unable to move his eyes away.

While dancing with Gu Huixue, Gu Liufeng looked at the two of them and sighed in a low voice, "They are too good for each other."

Gu Huixue said: "Move around, let me have a look."

"Don't worry, don't worry." Gu Liufeng turned his body slightly, and Gu Huixue saw two people under the crystal lamp in the center of the dance floor.

"Tell me," Gu Huixue sighed while looking at them, "What should I wear when they get married?"

Probably because Lin Ruan was too focused on watching, Zhan Xi lowered his head slightly, "What are you looking at?"

Lin Ruan's ears turned red immediately, he lowered his head, and stepped on a few wrong beats in panic.Zhan Xi's hand on his waist tightened, like a small punishment, "Concentrate."

Lin Ruan didn't dare to look at him even more, her eyes drifted away from his side, but unexpectedly bumped into the operator sitting outside the dance floor.

The operator was sitting on the sofa with his legs crossed, holding a small cake in one hand and wine in the other, with a half-smile on his face, like a charlatan who came to eat and drink.

The operator looked at Lin Ruan.

This is not Lin Ruan's illusion, the operator has been looking at Lin Ruan.

The reason why Lin Ruan didn't find out until now was that apart from his upset just now, it was also because Zhan Xi had been quietly blocking the operator's sight.

Obviously, Zhan Xi discovered those eyes earlier than Lin Ruan.

At the end of the song, Lin Ruan withdrew his hand on Zhan Xi's shoulder.The crowd became lively again, and everyone's voices overwhelmed the music for a while.

Lin Ruan looked at Zhan Xi and asked, "Why do you want to dance with me, sir?"

Zhan Xi withdrew her hand, the expression on her face was still indifferent, "Since it's a dance party, how can we not have a dance?"

After finishing speaking, Zhan Xi walked away from the dance floor.Lin Ruan stood still and turned to look at Zhan Xi's back.Lin Ruan always looked at Zhan Xi's back, sometimes he would follow, sometimes he would not.But whether he follows or not, Zhan Xi doesn't care.

When Lin Ruan came back to his senses and remembered the master operator, he looked around, but found that the person had disappeared.Lin Ruan went to ask Mrs. Gu, and Mrs. Gu said that Master Suanzi had already left. He seemed to have really come to eat and drink, and he left without saying hello.

This is very rude, Lin Ruan clearly saw dislike in Zhan Xi's eyes.

After the Lantern Festival, the winter vacation is coming to an end.Lin Ruan and Zhan Xi went back to Lan Mansion, and each started to busy with their own affairs.

A few days later, something happened in Sijiu City. The deputy director of the Transportation Bureau went back to his hometown to visit relatives a few days ago. He came back only two days ago. It rained the night before yesterday, and his house caught fire. The whole house was burnt down. , none of the people inside escaped.None of the master, madam, miss and master, even the servants escaped.

By dawn, the fire went out by itself.

Gu Ji was ordered to investigate this matter, but he did not find out why.It seems that the fire started suddenly, and then went out suddenly. Everyone who went to the scene said it was evil.

"What happened later?" Zhan Xi asked, sitting on the sofa with a cup of coffee, as if Gu Ji had come to tell him a story.

"Afterwards, I found the master operator."

Zhan Xi frowned slightly, and took a sip of coffee.

"I also thought he was a liar at first," Gu Ji said, "I found him because there was really nothing I could do."

Gu Ji continued: "Shouzi stayed alone in the abandoned house overnight, and came out the next day and let us in. In the back garden of their house, more than a dozen corpses were dug up, some of them had become bones, some It has just rotted away. These are all girls who have been trafficked in and around the Forty-Nine City in recent years."

Gu Ji frowned, as if thinking of that scene, he couldn't bear to look directly at it.

"Later, Suanzi asked us to ask the monks from Huguo Temple to take over the old house and build a park or school on top of it."

Lin Ruan was listening, feeling that the story was too blank, as if nothing had been said.

Gu Ji thought of something, and said: "Also, I found a Bodhisattva statue from the house. The Bodhisattva was carved out of wood, and the whole body was red. It was very strange. The operator took the Bodhisattva statue away."

Zhan Xi didn't speak, Lin Ruan couldn't help asking: "Where did the operator go?"

Gu Ji shook his head, "I don't know. My people checked and said that Shuan Zi didn't go out of the city. But there is no sign of him in the city."

Zhan Xi looked at Lin Ruan, as if he could see Lin Ruan's concern for the operator, Lin Ruan stopped talking, and stood aside honestly.

Gu Ji said: "I just came to tell you that Shuanzi is the apprentice of Master Wuwei, and he has a relationship with you. In case something happens to you or Lin Ruan in the future, we have a solution."

After the scruples left, Zhan Xi put down his coffee and asked, "Do you know that operator?"

Lin Ruan shook her head, "I don't have any impression."

Zhan Xi's face was indifferent, "Don't have anything to do with that person, it's bad luck."

Lin Ruan knew that Zhan Xi didn't like operators, so she nodded quickly.
