MTL - Capture the Jade-Chapter 99 [Catch a bug~] [Ten thousand characters change]...
On March 25th, Xiangxiang Academy opened.
As soon as it was dawn, the street in front of the academy was full of carts from various prefectures. For this day, the prefectures have been preparing for this day in advance. As soon as the door opens at dawn, people will continue to carry boxes and boxes inside. It seems that they know the rules of the academy. , but the sound of conversation could not be heard inside the door.
Teng Yuyi and Du Tinglan were the first to report to the academy, and as soon as they entered, a female official took them to the dormitory.
Just as the queen said, the good names that were planned at Ledao Villa were all used in various places in the academy.
The bookstore for the history of teaching is called Tanliyuan, which was originally presented by Wu Qi. The book building that teaches rhythm is called Dongyou Building, which was presented by Zheng Shuangyin.
The ladies' dormitory is called Zimu Pavilion, which was dedicated to Liu Siniang, the daughter of Liu Guying, the minister of household.
The dormitory is divided into two people and a suite. Since most of the students are women from aristocratic families, each person is allowed to bring a maid, but they cannot buy meals in the room, let alone drink and have fun in the room. All students must be in the room. Sishan Pavilion for meals.
There are morning classes in the morning, and they are not allowed to enter or leave the academy in the evening.
Teng Yuyi and Du Tinglan share the same dormitory.
Du Tinglan lived in the east wing, Teng Yuyi lived in the west wing, and there was a small living room in the middle. Du Tinglan kept a maid, Hongnu, beside Du Tinglan. Teng Yuyi hesitated between Chunrong and Biluo for a long time. Quick, and combing her hair quickly means she can sleep a little longer in the morning, so she reluctantly chose Biluo.
Chunrong blushed because of this, thinking that she would not be able to see her for a month, and wiped away her tears until she left.
The two sisters lived in the middle of the dormitory on the east side. Sister Peng Huayue was on the right, and Zheng Shuangyin and Deng Weili, the granddaughter of Deng Zhiyao, were on the left.
Further past, it is the dormitory of Li Huaigu and Liu Siniang.
Wu Han and Wu Qi did not live in the same row as them, but in the dormitory in the opposite row.
When Li Huaigu came out, Teng Yuyi looked at her carefully. Li Huaigu was just recovering from a serious illness, and his face was inevitably worse than in the previous days. Fortunately, his body was graceful. This disease not only did not reduce his appearance, but made him feel a little more pitiful. Wind.
After a while, the queen arrives.
The students were silent and waited in the vestibule with their silks in their hands.
When the time came, the two deans, four female officials, and several great Confucians who were invited to watch the ceremony, together with the Minister of Rites, raised the drum and casket.
The ceremony followed the procedures of the Imperial College Supervisor and lasted for an hour. The Empress spoke a lot of words of exhortation to encourage the first batch of students she personally selected.
When the queen was instructing, she casually looked at Du Tinglan below. The child's quietness was different from others. It was not pretending, but it was really like a soft and solemn Buddha statue. The appearance of that little adult was really attractive the more you looked at it. .
After the queen finished her lecture, Teng Yuyi dared to look straight ahead. As expected, she saw Jian Mingxiu, the female official Lin Chengyou mentioned, beside the queen.
Jian Mingxiu is the daughter of Jian Wenqing, a great scholar in Luoyang. She is also the youngest of the four female officials. She is in her early twenties. It is said that she is as prosperous as her father.
During the ceremony, Lady Jane never looked down. She is the female official of the department.
After the students have paid for their repairs in turn, the ceremony is considered complete. The Queen drives back to the palace, and Vice President Liu leads the students to bow down and send them off.
Teng Yuyi thought that today was just a promotion to the school. After the ceremony, they would go back to the dormitory to sort out the boxes. Unexpectedly, the female officials would then lead them to the Tanli Academy. The first class was the book "Book of Rites" The first volume of , and the lecturer is Mrs. Liu, the vice president.
Mrs. Liu has always been stern, and she is not angry and arrogant when she is teaching.
Teng Yuyi was afraid that she would yawn accidentally, so she had to grit her teeth.
Last night, she returned to the house in the middle of the night in order to collect ghosts. She woke up before dawn in the morning, and she was already sleepy by now. If she taught something new, she might not fall asleep, but she recited these classics and history before she was ten years old. Familiar, it is really drowsy.
In order to distract her attention, she secretly looked around, Peng Huayue's eyes widened, but Peng Jinxiu's head had already been knocked. Knock on several sides of Peng Jinxiu.
Peng Jinxiu suddenly opened her eyes. According to the rules of the academy, she was found by the female officer to be lazy in get out of class. Cry without tears. Peng Huayue at the other end seemed to think that her sister was unsatisfactory, and couldn't help but rolled her eyes at her sister.
After a while, Dean Liu began to ask questions. This question is very deep and vivid, but no one answered at first.
I don't understand, I don't dare to take a call.
Those who understand, such as Du Tinglan, are prudent and reserved and do not like to be in the limelight, and are reluctant to answer;
Zheng Shuangyin has a arrogant temperament, and feels that the question is too simple, and is disdainful to answer;
Teng Yuyi entered the academy to find the murderer, not to marry a clan's son to perform well, but to be too lazy to answer.
Dean Liu waited for a while before anyone answered, and simply pointed down: "Wu Zhang, you answer."
Wu Zhang answered it with a good word, and at the end he extended it gently.
Dean Liu nodded as he listened, and Teng Yuyi looked at Wu Xiang in amazement. It was not difficult to answer this question, but Aunt Wu's insight really made people look at it differently.
This requires not only a familiarity with the history of scriptures, but also a very high comprehension ability.
But think about it again, Wu Zhongcheng's talent name has always been as good as Zheng Pushe. Wu Yuanluo, the leader of the Wu family, also has the name of a child prodigy.
She looked at Aunt Wu carefully, her appearance was softer than her younger sister Wu Qi, but her temperament was not as lively as her younger sister Wu Qi. Teng Yuyi and Wu Erniang were very familiar with each other, but she only spoke a few words with Aunt Wu, and only acted as Aunt Wu. Naturally shy, I didn't expect that people are just good at hiding clumsiness.
In retrospect, Aunt Wu only started to show up frequently after she quit her marriage. According to Teng Yuyi, Duan Qingying is not as good as Wu Zhang in every aspect. Master Zheng must have lost her eyes, so she had a relationship with Duan Qingying before the engagement. First and last.
After thinking about it, didn't Duan Ningyuan also put him on the line, Teng Yuyi sneered in his heart, all men in the world like to change their minds, and the marriage contract can't stop them from being hot-headed.
Suddenly I remembered grandpa and grandma. When grandpa and grandma were so loving, when grandma died, she was the only one by her side. grandpa, he—
Thinking about it, she felt as if ice **** had formed in her heart, leaving only a piece of ice cold.
Dean Liu really praised Wu Chang, and ordered the female officer Jian to write down Wu Chang's answer and send it to the palace for the empress to see, and said: "In the future, when the questions are asked, those who answer well will be recorded in each section. People's conduct book is used for future evaluations, and the answers are particularly brilliant, and they will be sent to the queen immediately."
The implication is that the words and deeds of the students will be fed back to the palace in time, and they must be diligent and introspective in the future.
Everyone was apprehensive.
It was noon after the class was over.
The students sent Dean Liu away, consciously exhausted, and took them to the Sishan Pavilion for lunch.
Fortunately, there was no female official to supervise during lunch, and it was not so restrained all of a sudden.
After Shanbi returned to the Zimu Pavilion, Liu Siniang took the lead with her maid to give gifts to her classmates, and then Zheng Shuangyin and Deng Weili also went out of the house with food boxes.
Teng Yuyi and Du Tinglan also prepared gifts. A few people took the lead, and Zimu Pavilion finally came alive. The little ladies met on the veranda and exchanged gifts in a lively way.
Deng Weili seemed to be very curious about Teng Yuyi, and glanced at Teng Yuyi with a smile when giving gifts.
Teng Yuyi couldn't help but look at Deng Weili.
Deng Weili's grandfather was Deng Zhiyao, a servant, and his grandfather was Duke Wei, who carried a noble daughter who was one of the best in Chang'an City.
In the first few years, Mrs. Deng died of illness. My grandmother cherished her granddaughter and often brought her granddaughter to live in Luoyang. Deng Weili was away from Chang'an for most of the year, but because of Deng Weili's humorous and lovely personality, no matter where he went, there were always a lot of girls around him. follow.
Teng Yuyi met Deng Weili once during an audience at Daming Palace in his previous life. At that time, because he didn't dare to look around when he met the queen, only a vague shadow was left in his mind, and he only remembered Deng Weili's beautiful appearance.
After looking at it this time, I found that Deng Weili was somewhat related to himself.
Liu Siniang also discovered this immediately, looked at Teng Yuyi and Deng Weili, and smiled in surprise: "Miss Teng and Mrs. Deng seem to be a bit similar, what do you think of Mrs. Du?"
It's a bit similar, Du Tinglan thought to herself. They all have watery eyes and a face like a flower, but they don't look like it when you look closely. Mrs. Deng's eyes are slender, while her younger sister has a pair of apricot-shaped black eyes. Not so much the appearance, it is better to say that the bearing is somewhat similar, they are all delicate appearances who smile before saying a word, and don't care about everything.
Deng Weili smiled and nodded: "I said why I think Mrs. Teng is so friendly, it turns out that we are a little bit related to each other, don't you remember me? I still remember you, when we were young, we fought chess, and you were the only one who won so many children. Me. It's a pity that I was at my grandparents' house in Luoyang for the first two months, and I didn't even know that you came to Chang'an."
Teng Yuyi was stunned. Did she meet Deng Weili when she was a child? What year was that? She had no impression at all.
She smiled and asked, "Where did I win you?"
"In our house. When my grandfather was celebrating his birthday, the steward in your house brought you a gift. You played with us all afternoon. You were only five or six years old at the time. I was the same age as you."
Du Tinglan listened with a smile, the two of them didn't look alike, but the smart and exposed demeanor when they spoke was a bit similar.
Deng Weili took Teng Yuyi's arm as he spoke, and ordered the maid to give the two of them the gift she had prepared.
The Peng sisters were the most generous. They actually prepared a set of pen, ink, paper and inkstone for each classmate. The paper was Yanxi paper, the inkstone was Longxu inkstone. All of a sudden, a dozen little ladies gathered in the sisters' house.
After the conversation, everyone went to Liu Siniang and Li Huaigu's house together. Li Huaigu was very considerate in dealing with people and things. This time, when they met with classmates, Lu Li would prepare some ingenious gifts, but she didn't know if she had just gotten sick. For the sake of healing, I only took some snacks made in my own house.
Teng Yuyi immediately looked at Li Huaigu with admiration. A person is not afraid of making mistakes, but he is afraid that he will not realize the crux of the problem after making mistakes. Li Huaigu was harmed by the spell, and he immediately knew that what he had done before was too conspicuous. Raising time is dark.
Next, when the classmates went to each house to give gifts, Li Huaigu really only followed with a smile, and when Deng Weili and Zheng Shuangyin were discussing the rhythm, she no longer interjected without any trace as in the past.
After the gifts were delivered, the female officials brought the maids over and said that it was time for a lunch break, and the girls went back to their houses reluctantly.
Biluo and Hongnu made an appointment to go to the chef to fetch water. Teng Yuyi fiddled in the Westinghouse for a while, and then ran to the Easthouse with the little puppet, saying that she wanted to sleep in the same bed with Sister.
Du Tinglan pushed the pillow to Teng Yuyi in a good-natured manner, moved in, looked up at the house, and whispered, "Are you hanging a hundred flowers in front of the bed again?"
Teng Yuyi pulled the quilt to his chin: "I also hung up by the window. There was more than an hour in the afternoon break, I slept well, and Duanfu was not around at the moment, who knows if that person will make any strange moves. "
"Be careful." Du Tinglan, "Did you rest late yesterday? You look like you want to doze off in class, so hurry up and go to sleep while my sister is watching for you."
Teng Yuyi yawned and buried her head in the arms of the little puppet: "Sister, you can sleep too. That mechanism is done so that there is no trace of it. As long as someone dares to go there, they will be unable to escape."
The students seemed to have rested, and the corridor outside slowly became quiet. After a while, the only sound of flowers and plants swaying in the wind could be heard in the entire Zimuyuan.
The two sisters fell asleep without knowing it, and it was unknown how long it took when they heard Biluo and Hongnu calling softly beside the bed, "Miss, it's time to get up."
Du Tinglan was already alert, and quickly opened her eyes. When Teng Yuyi got out of bed, she looked at the opposite room.
Biluo helped Teng Yuyi to dress up, and whispered, "The maid and Hongnu were afraid of disturbing the lady's afternoon break, so they went to the garden after fetching water, and just sat down under the banana tree, how did they know Aunt Peng came over? ."
Teng Yuyi suddenly became energetic: "They didn't go back to the room to take a nap?"
Hong Nu was helping Du Tinglan to dress up at the other end, and she shook her head when she heard the words: "They seem to be sending letters to someone, but they seem to be passing by from the front yard. When they passed by, they probably felt that there was no one in the garden, so they stopped and said a few words. Aunt Peng didn't seem very happy, she sighed as soon as she came over and said that she had made a mistake. It turned out that the peasant woman who fell on Lishan that day was arranged by the queen, and now she has lost a first chance, and it will be bad for the future. Remedied."
Both Du Tinglan and Teng Yuyi were shocked that they came out that day at the behest of the empress.
What surprised Teng Yuyi even more was another layer. Not many people in the DPRK knew about this matter, but the Peng family got the news so quickly.
Biluo also whispered: "Aunt Peng also said that there were only four little ladies who went back to help the peasant women that day, but looking at the meaning of the queen, it seems that the Wu family is the most favorite. Aunt Wu is probably not angry because of the repentance of the marriage of the first son of Zheng, and she is very energetic. It's time for a fight for the Crown Princess. In the past, she didn't even show up very much, but recently she has been in the limelight, and with the power of Wu Zhongcheng in the court, it is very likely that Aunt Wu will be decided."
Teng Yuyi asked, "What did Peng Jinxiu say?"
"Peng Erniang said: 'Not necessarily, isn't there Teng Yuyi, Du Tinglan, Zheng Shuangyin? There is also Deng Weili. She didn't go to Mount Li in Luoyang that day, so the queen might also like her.'"
"Aunt Peng scolded her sister: 'I know what to eat and drink all day long, and I don't think about it. I didn't see the dean calling Aunt Wu to answer during class, and she immediately sent Aunt Wu's answer to the palace. This is very good. How could this happen if I didn’t want to take care of Aunt Wu in the first place. As I said, Dean Liu and the Wu family had already passed each other’s anger, and even this matter was acquiesced by the queen. If you don’t believe it, see, Crown Prince Nine times out of ten, the concubine is Mrs. Wu'."
Bi Luo vividly retells the conversation between the two.
Du Tinglan was dumbfounded.
Teng Yuyi smiled, a little interesting. The selection of the crown princess is related to the national sports. As soon as the academy started, all the forces in the DPRK and China took action. This is the first day, and it is estimated that there will be more tricks in the future.
If Dean Liu belongs to the Wu family, with the frequent care of the dean, Aunt Wu is indeed more likely to win the favor of the queen.
I don't know which of the four female officials are involved with each other.
Besides, the academy is strictly managed. Sister Peng was not in the room for a lunch break, but slipped out to deliver the letter. It was expected that there was an internal response in the academy. Who would that person be? Well, maybe it's one of the female officials.
Hongnu whispered again: "Apart from this, Aunt Peng also scolded my sister, saying that she withheld her letter and told her to die, not to mention that the academy may not be a holiday on the Buddha Bathing Festival, even if it is a holiday. , and don't even think about instigating the servants to help her create a chance to meet His Royal Highness."
Teng Yuyi was stunned for a moment. The eighth day of April is the Buddha Bathing Festival (Note 1). The people of Chang'an will travel together. There are Buddha lectures everywhere in the city. There is no curfew at night. It is one of the most lively festivals of the year. Fifteen, a few days after counting.
Du Tinglan almost slipped the hairpin in his hand to the ground, and Peng Jinxiu actually fell in love with the Prince of Chun'an.
She listened nervously to the movement on the corridor, and sternly told the second maid: "This kind of thing is a boudoir chat on the surface, but in fact it has a lot of implications. If the other party knows that you are eavesdropping, it will definitely bring endless trouble. Remember, this is only once, and you are not allowed to listen to the corner again in the future!"
Du Tinglan spoke softly and softly. It was the first time that she was so serious. The second maid realized that it was a big deal, and said repeatedly, "The maid will never dare."
Du Tinglan added: "When we go to school in the daytime, you need to stay in this room without leaving an inch. My sister and I, these personal jewelry and small things, must not be stolen. You should know what will happen if you lose these things. The consequences must not be left to chance.”
The second maid nodded solemnly.
After dinner, the ladies did their homework in the room, and because it was not yet time to go to bed, they happily visited each other.
Compared with noble girls such as Zheng Shuangyin, Deng Weili is more lively and lovely. Most of these girls who grew up in Chang'an are friends with her.
When the maid next to Deng Weili invited Teng Yuyi and Du Tinglan over, the room was full of people.
Everyone is discussing the trip to the Buddha Bathing Festival.
Deng Weili said: "I asked the dean of her old man, and she said that there was only a sutra class in the morning, and it was a holiday at noon. On that day, there were theaters in all major Buddhist temples, and the most lively was the Ci'en Temple (Note 2). ), why don't we go out for fun together."
Someone pulled Teng Yuyi over: "Miss Teng, you were in Yangzhou in the past, and I didn't know you well. This year, you came to Chang'an. You must have a good time with us."
Zheng Shuangyin asked Teng Yuyi, "Ayu, where do you want to go that day?"
Teng Yuyi sat down next to her elder sister: "Ci'en Temple is a bit far from the academy, and I have to go to school the next day, or I can go to Qinglong Temple. Those talented students who have entered the discipline have the so-called 'Ci'en Temple inscription'. We female talents Might as well have a 'Qinglong Temple inscription'."
The girls' eyes lit up and said the idea was interesting.
Wu Qi was originally playing chess with Liu Siniang, and she pointed at Teng Yuyi with a smile, "I said earlier that Teng Niang is fun, but if you don't believe it, just watch, she will have more good ideas later."
The whole day was suffocating, and the girls were extraordinarily wanton when laughing and laughing, and when it was time to go to bed, everyone still had a smile on their faces.
As soon as Teng Yuyi and Du Tinglan returned to the house, the four female officials came to visit together.
Lady Jane seemed to be in charge of the east corridor. When she walked to Teng Yuyi and Du Tinglan's house, she looked at it casually, and then said warmly, "Today is your first day in the academy, can you still get used to it?"
When he spoke, his eyes stayed on Teng Yuyi for a moment.
There was no trace of these words, but Teng Yuyi knew that if Lady Jane was not entrusted by Lin Chengyou, she would never have asked this question.
She hurriedly said, "Mr. Lao Jian is concerned, everything is fine."
Lady Jane: "You two have a good homework. I'm Si Du. If you come across anything you don't understand when you're studying in the future, you can come and ask me."
Du Tinglan and Teng Yuyi bowed their heads and said, "Yes."
Lady Jian asked the maid to pass a basket to the two of them: "The dean has an order, the students need to cherish the writing paper. In the future, they will not use the peach blossom paper and green gold paper they brought from home, but the paper issued by the academy should be used uniformly. Ink, it will be issued every half month, you can talk to Mr.
The sisters took the basket and sent the female official Jane out of the house.
After closing the doors and windows, Du Tinglan saw that it was getting late, so she went back to the room to change her clothes. Teng Yuyi carried the basket back to the west wing, and touched it. There was a pen, ink, paper and inkstone on her face, but a small lacquer box was hidden underneath.
Open it and see that there is a box of Sanqing Cake, and there is a letter attached to it, with a few lines written on it crookedly:
Lady Teng, are you in the academy? You must not be at home. I'm afraid I won't be able to invite you out this month to get rid of troubles. We made Sanqing Cake for you, so you can study with peace of mind.
The inscription reads: Jue Sheng, Abandoning Wisdom and knocking on it.
Teng Yuyi looked at the scribbled letter and smiled. It was a letter with no beginning and no end, and there were a lot of typos in it. However, after reading every word, I only felt that the thoughts in the letter were very precious. Unfortunately, she couldn't reply to the letter, so she could only ask the female officer Jane to reply "Well" .
Then she looked at the bottom and back of the letter, Lin Chengyou Xu did not leave a single word in order to avoid suspicion.
Teng Yuyi lit the letter with a candle, waited patiently for the ashes to burn out, then set up the traps in front of the window and the bed, and went to the opposite room to sleep on the same bed with my sister.
After lying down, Du Tinglan tucked the quilt for Teng Yuyi. Looking back on this day, she felt extremely tired. She looked at the top of the tent and sighed, "The first day of the academy has just passed."
Teng Yuyi counted the days with her fingers: "On the eighth day of the fourth lunar month, there is still half a month before we can go out to play."
"It's coming soon." Biluo and Hongnu slept on the couch beside the bed, got up to blow out the lights, and said with a smile, "We have to get up early tomorrow, madam, go to bed earlier."
***
The next day, Cheng Wangfu.
Lin Chengyou got dressed and went out, Kuannu came over to report: "Sir, there is still nothing to do this morning."
Lin Chengyou was silent. Yesterday was Teng Yuyi's first day of school. In order to wait for the news, he slept in the middle of the night. According to Jane's report, there was nothing during the day.
It seemed to be fine at night.
He looked at Kuan Nu's empty hands: "Only this? Nothing else?"
Kuan Nu looked down at his hand and was stunned: "This is the only one."
The academy is so strict, could it be that the prince still expects Mrs. Teng to send another box of flower cakes?
Lin Chengyou thought to himself that the meals in the academy were uniform, and the students were not allowed to drink for fun. Teng Yuyi could hold back his addiction to alcohol, but that old man Xiaoya might not hold back. He thought that Teng Yuyi would ask him to bring wine for her. It's not difficult to do, as long as he wants to find her, no matter how strict the academy can stop him.
It's a pity that Teng Yuyi didn't mention it at all, probably because he was afraid it would be too much trouble for him, so he had to change his mouth and said, "Specially send someone to wait for the reply from Lady Jane near the academy, wait all day, and don't leave for a moment, remember?"
Kuan Nu hurriedly said: "I have sent someone over. By the way, it is said that the academy will be closed on the day of the Buddha Bathing Festival."
Lin Chengyou's face became a little happy, and he thought about it: "I see."
As he spoke, he looked at the opposite corner of the street calmly, got on the horse, looked straight ahead and said, "I've been following the 'tail' behind me long enough, and you still haven't figured out who it is?"
"Almost got it."
"Then catch it. I want to live, don't let him die when I do it."
Kuan Nu nodded silently.
Lin Chengyou urged the horse to rush to the Dali Temple, first went to the morgue to find Chen Zuozuo, and then went to the service pavilion to find Yan Sizhi.
Yan Sizhi was carefully checking the two files of Hu Jizhen and Li Ying'er, looked up to see Lin Chengyou, and hurriedly said, "Lin commented on the matter, I have sorted out the similarities between the two cases."
Lin Chengyou sat down and looked at three places:
The first and second victims were both taken away by sorcery. This is an extremely rare modus operandi, and it is almost certain that it came from the same person.
Second, both victims lived in Yi Ning Fang.
Third, he had been to Deshan Street before he was killed. When Hu Jizhen went home, he had to pass through Deshan Street. Li Ying'er fell into the well at Chuguo Temple, and Chuguo Temple was opposite Deshan Street.
"From these points of view, it's hard not to suspect that the murderer is the same person." Yan Sizhi said, "and the murderer is likely to live near Deshan Street, but unfortunately the murderer in Hu Jizhen's case left too few clues, otherwise he would More commonalities can be drawn.”
Lin Chengyou put the things in his hand on the table: "Brother Yan, first look at the autopsy report written by Chen Pei, Li Ying'er has a lot of oil on the soles of her shoes, and it was checked that it was meat oil such as hog oil. I went to Chu the day before yesterday. Guosi inspected the well where Li Ying'er fell, and found a handprint on the edge of the well. The handprint was full of flies, and it was expected to be meat. Yesterday, I checked it again and found that the handprint matched the size of Li Ying'er's right hand. , indicating that this was left by Li Ying'er grabbing the edge of the well before she fell into the well. I guess she fell down before the accident, but her palm touched something like a piece of meat on the ground, so it was not scratched, but rubbed against it. First-hand oil."
Yan Sizhi read the autopsy report in amazement: "I have meat oil on my hands and meat oil on the soles of my feet. Could it be that Li Ying'er went to a place like a meat shop before the accident?"
"But there is no meat shop nearby, not even a shop." Lin Chengyou thought for a while, "Ask Li Ying'er's female companions at the time and said that they came out to play together, and Li Ying'er was not alone until she entered the Chuguo Temple that day. It's still good. Looking at Li Ying'er's makeup, she doesn't look like a sloppy person. The soles and hands are full of meat and oil, and it is impossible not to wash them, so this should be what happened in the moment before she lost consciousness. Although he lost his soul, he insisted on going to the well, probably because he was trying to wash his hands in a daze, but accidentally fell into the well."
Yan Sizhi: "Could the murderer be a butcher? In the past, I saw the butcher take the unsold meat home, and sometimes he tied it with a straw rope and held it in his hand. When the man was chasing Li Ying's childhood, the meat fell off. , happened to be touched by Li Ying'er when he fell. The meat and oil are not easy to clean, so even if the murderer knew that he had left evidence, he could only leave in a hurry. Well, I will go to Deshan Street and ask if there is a butcher nearby. kind of people live."
Lin Chengyou suddenly said: "Don't you think something is wrong? Hu Jizhen and Li Ying'er are about the same age, one is a young man, the other is a little lady in a ru skirt, Hu Jizhen is still riding a horse, who will run faster in the event of danger , isn't it clear at a glance. The murderer can kill Hu Jizhen without leaving any clues, why is he embarrassed when chasing Ying'er?"
"This-"
"Either it's not the same person, or the murderer encountered unexpected twists and turns when he assassinated Li Ying'er—" A thought suddenly appeared in Lin Chengyou's mind, "There are also monks in the temple who hide meat and food, it seems that I have to go there. The chef of Chuguo Temple."
***
For several days, the academy was calm.
Lady Jane would come to look for Teng Yuyi every day, and Teng Yuyi would say "nothing's wrong" every night, and never forget to set up the organs before going to bed, but unfortunately she never waited for the thief.
She quickly adapted to the life in the academy. She could handle the homework with her eyes closed, not to mention that the meals were not bad, and her classmates were friendly and friendly. After staying in the academy for a month, I am afraid that I will be suffocated.
Fortunately, when she entered school, she brought Grandpa's half-made brocade robe, and when Teng Yu had nothing to do, she asked Grandma to bring her to make clothes.
In the blink of an eye, it was the Buddha Bathing Festival.
Early in the morning, when the white female official was still in class, the girls couldn't hold back their eyebrows, and when the class was over and lunch was over, they hurried back to the room and dressed up. They had to go back to the academy to sleep at night, and they had to hurry up and go out.
When the prefectures got the news, they came to pick up people before noon. By the time everyone was dressed and came out of the academy, there were already many carts at the door.
Before parting, Deng Weili told the classmates: "Alright, you will meet outside the Qinglong Temple theater. Jushuangzhai, see you soon."
Teng Yuyi and Du Tinglan were in the same car, Teng Yuyi lowered the window curtain, turned around and said to Du Tinglan, "The man has not shown his feet these days, sister, do you think that man will find a chance to attack tonight?"
Du Tinglan said worriedly: "I think so. There are many rules in the academy, but there are many people in the street market. For me, I think it is a good opportunity to start. Otherwise, don't go out tonight. Fu can't take care of it."
Teng Yuyi said: "Don't be afraid, I'll just wait for her to take action. I'm curious about how she will deal with me. I'll make arrangements when I go back. In short, I must catch her tonight."
As soon as Teng Yuyi returned to the house, he sent a letter to Qingyunguan, but unfortunately he didn't wait for Lin Chengyou's reply until he went out in the evening.
Teng Yuyi changed into a new dress, put on a hat and came out of the mansion. According to the plan, he brought Duanfu, Chang Geng and others with him, and took the car to the Du residence to pick up his cousin. Du Shaotang heard that the two sisters were going to Qinglong Temple. Playing in the theater, I suddenly became interested, and I had to join in the fun whenever I said anything.
So the three siblings went to Chongyifang, the most lively place tonight.
On the street, there are cars and horses, and there are monks handing out "cakes" on the side of the road. Not far away, there are a lot of music and drums. Hu people can be seen singing and dancing everywhere. Young men and women collect orchids as gifts of peony. Not at all lost on the New Year's Day.
When the car drove to Anfu Street near Qinglong Temple, no matter what, Teng Yuyi and the three had to get out of the car. Duanfu, Huoqiu, Chang Geng and others disappeared in the crowd, always keeping close to Teng Yuyi. the distance.
When we arrived at the agreed door of Jushuangzhai, there were indeed many people waiting in the store. In addition to the classmates in the academy, there were also brothers and sisters of each of them. Fortunately, they were all young, so there was no need to avoid suspicion.
Zheng Shuangyin and others came to pick up Teng Yuyi and his brother in person. After sitting down and looking out, they happened to see the long trestle bridge opposite Qinglong Temple. The Qinglong Temple had a special ditch dug outside the gate, and the ditch led directly to the outside of the city. Strings of wishing lamps look like bright strings of beads from a distance. Tonight is a good time to make a wish for safety. These lamps are spontaneously put into the river by the people who came to pray for blessings.
Li Huaigu counted the classmates of Jushuangzhai, and said suspiciously, "It seems that there are still a few people who haven't come."
"Where's Deng Weili? She's the owner tonight, why hasn't she shown up yet?"
Most of the classmates at the table like Deng Weili, and they are busy laughing to smooth things out: "It's not that you don't know her temperament, she's naive and charming, and it's always slower to go out than others, just wait a moment."
Suddenly someone said, "Hey, have you heard? Cheng Wang and his wife are about to return to Beijing. They said that they learned that their son has a sweetheart. The first thing they did when they came back this time was to kiss their son."
Teng Yuyi was drinking tea and almost choked when she heard the words. Who is spreading these rumors on purpose? Someone said this at the Lishan Palace last time, and she came again tonight, but she could see clearly in the deserted mansion that day. Chu, Lin Chengyou clearly has a scarlet golden Gu mark on the back of his neck.
She subconsciously looked at the person opposite, and it was Peng Jinxiu who started the conversation.
Wu Qi hurriedly waved her hands: "You guys don't want to talk to me anymore, that day, Prince Cheng brought Yu Fengyu over to confront him in person, so that my elder brother couldn't give birth to Taiwan, and I was also a disaster, the two of them. Dou Fa, inexplicably got me involved, I hate my brother to death now, and I don't want to pay any attention to him if my brother paid me a thousand miles."
Another person smiled and continued: "This time it's not you. Because I heard that the little lady is very delicate, and Wu Erniang, you are also very good-looking, but your temperament is sassy. I heard that Prince Cheng loves that little lady very much. In order to please that little lady, I also bought extremely expensive jewelry from the Star-Zhailing Building."
Even the Xingxing Building came out? Teng Yuyi looked at the tea cup in his hand, unless someone was secretly stalking Lin Chengyou, even if it was a rumor, it couldn't be detailed to this level. Does Lin Chengyou really have someone he likes? Impossible, how can such a poison be solved by explanation.
delicate? jewelry? Thinking about Lin Chengyou's partial affection for his junior brother and sister, if he really moved his "moral heart", it would be possible for him to do such a thing, and he would not know who the girl was.
Du Tinglan pretended to look casually at her younger sister. She had suspected that Lin Chengyou liked her sister, but she dispelled her doubts only because she thought of Lin Chengyou's unfeeling insecurities. Being able to eat and sleep in the academy doesn't seem like falling into love.
Suddenly someone was startled: "Hey, isn't that Deng Weili?"
Li Huai looked at the reputation, and the tea in the cup almost shook out.
As soon as Teng Yuyi raised her eyes, she couldn't help but widen her eyes. On the trestle not far away, Deng Weili stood on the bridge with two maids. A face, with a smiling appearance, is brighter than the bright moon above his head.
The tall and handsome boy standing beside him was Lin Chengyou. Lin Chengyou looked at the river, not knowing what he was looking at.
Pedestrians passing by frequently review, it seems that they have never seen such a good-looking man and woman.
The person in the room blushed and said with a smile: "The charming lady that Prince Cheng looked at, shouldn't it be Deng Weili?"
Teng Yuyi turned her head to one side, put down the tea cup and smiled: "Hey, isn't that a candy man? I haven't been in Chang'an for all these years, and I have forgotten the taste of a candy man. I went out to buy a few candy men, who would you like? ?"
Someone said, "I want it, Mrs. Teng, please bring me a bunch."
Teng Yuyi came out with a smile, went to the door to find Duanfu, and was about to use her eyes to signal him to go over to take a look. Just at this moment, a young man in brocade clothes was about to enter the building. Teng Yuyi only felt that the person was familiar and did not care who it was , I stepped back subconsciously, and when I looked again, Lin Chengyou and Deng Weili on the bridge were gone.
