  Chapter 59 Glimpse

  He Qingxiao turned around upon hearing the words, and looked over with a calm expression.

  Xin You stepped closer and lowered her voice: "Master He, I see that your seal is black, and you may have a **** disaster..."

  He Qingxiao: "..."

   "Master He?" Sensing that He Qingxiao was distracted, Xin You called out.

  He Qingxiao came back to his senses, coughed with his fist on his lips, and found an excuse at random: "Sorry, I suddenly thought of a case. What did Miss Kou just say?"

   "I said Mr. He might have a bloodbath, and you should pay attention to the perpetrators when handling the case." Xin You said seriously.

  In the scene just now, she saw He Qingxiao go down with his hands to arrest someone. The arrested person suddenly pulled out a dagger from his sleeve and stabbed him in the abdomen.

  Blood splashed out immediately.

  Xin You looked at the man who was as tall as a pine tree in front of him, and shook his head slightly.

   It is said that to be able to sit in the position of Jinlinwei Zhenfu, the martial arts must be passable, and the reaction of Mr. Mahe was not bad that day, but why is he not very bright every time in the picture?

  But people are always careless.

  Xin You found a reason.

  Looking at the serious girl, He Qingxiao was in a delicate mood.

  He was reminded earlier that time, and he didn't doubt Miss Kou's words, but if Miss Kou is so proficient in physiognomy, I'm afraid he will hear the words "Master He is afraid of bloodshed" from time to time in the future.

He Qingxiao discovered that his luck was a little bit off since he was a child, and various unexpected situations emerged one after another. Fortunately, after practicing martial arts, he reacted flexibly and his mentality was tempered. It is rare to see **** things again, and others do not notice him. extremely unlucky.

  He Qingxiao sorted out her delicate mood, and said thank you calmly: "Thank you Miss Kou for reminding me, I will be careful."

   "Master He, walk slowly."

  Seeing He Qingxiao off, Xin You also walked out of the bookstore.

  The evening in the capital is very lively, and it is the time for teahouses and restaurants to receive guests.

  Xinyou walked through the streets and alleys and came to Jixiangfang.

  Ji Cailan and Zhou Ningyue are cousins, and Ji Cailan's mother is Zhou Ningyue's father's sister. After Zhou's father was transferred to the capital, he rented a house in Jixiangfang because of his sister.

  Ji and Zhou are both in Jixiangfang, and Xinyou came here because of Zhou Ningyue.

  She wants to see what Zhou Ningyue looks like.

  Every house raised smoke, and the aroma of food wafted in the wind, and shouts calling children to go home for dinner sounded from time to time.

   Xinyou looked around and found a big tree.

  The trunk of the tree is straight and smooth, and the crown grows only two feet from the ground. Such a tree almost eliminated the possibility of ordinary people climbing up, but fortunately, it was not a big problem for Xinyou.

  Xinyou quietly climbed up the tree, under the cover of lush branches and leaves, overlooking a residential house.

   This is a one-entry house, with a main room, an inverted room, and east and west wing rooms. It can be inferred that the Zhou family is a medium-sized family with a simple population.

  There are people dressed as maidservants collecting clothes in the courtyard, smoke is rising from the kitchen, and a cat can be seen lying lazily on the steps.

  Xin You watched patiently.

   Perhaps it was luck. After waiting for a while, I suddenly heard a voice.

   "Amber—"

  The cat on the steps moved, but continued to lie down again.

   Not long after, a young girl walked out from the west wing, and went straight to the steps outside the main room.

   "You shouldn't even call you, you're too lazy." The girl bent down and picked up the cat, rubbed the cat's head dissatisfied, turned and walked to the west wing.

  Xin You condescended, and finally saw the girl clearly.

  Round face, almond-shaped eyes, skin like snow, just by walking, I can't tell that my legs and feet are inconvenient.

   Could this be Zhou Ningyue?

  Xin You thinks it should be.

   Suddenly there was a knock on the door, and the girl holding the cat stopped and looked towards the courtyard door.

   Soon, a girl carrying a basket walked in through the screen door, it was Ji Cailan.

   "Cousin is here." Seeing Ji Cailan, the girl smiled.

  Ji Cailan lifted the basket in one hand: "My mother made some sweet-scented osmanthus cakes, let me deliver them."

The tree where Xinyou hid was not close to the wall of Zhou's courtyard, and there was even a distance, but it was a very tall tree, standing high and looking far. The face girl is undoubtedly Zhou Ningyue.

   "Cousin, have you finished reading "Painted Skin"? Is it good?"

  Zhou Ningyue nodded: "It looks good, my cousin can buy a copy for me, and I can read it from time to time."

   "My cousin likes it so much, I'll go shopping with you. Let me tell you, Qingsong Bookstore has changed owners. She's a girl about our age. She's a nice person..."

  Zhou Ningyue seemed a little moved, but shook her head: "It still doesn't work, it's so troublesome to go out."

   "Cousin, go ahead, your legs are healed, you can't stay out forever."

   “I always feel uncomfortable walking.”

   "That's your illusion. It's okay, I'll come to you tomorrow, let's go to Qingsong Bookstore together..."

  Xin You watched the two cousins ​​enter the main room, and the courtyard became quiet.

  Ji Cailan seemed to be left behind for dinner, and she came out of the main room after a while, and was sent to the gate of the courtyard by Zhou Ningyue.

  It was dark, and mosquitoes were flying around. Xin You waited for a while and saw no more movement, took advantage of the darkness to cover the tree, and went back to Qingsong Bookstore.

  The bookstore was already closed, Xin You went directly into the east yard through the corner door, and saw Xiao Lian walking back and forth.

   "Girl, you are back!" Seeing Xinyou, Xiao Lian's eyes burst out with joy.

   "Is there something wrong at home?"

   "It's okay. It's just that it's getting dark and you haven't come back yet, so the servant girl is a little worried."

  When she was serving Xinyou to take a bath, she saw the red envelopes from mosquito bites on her body, and Xiao Lian couldn't help but mutter: "Where have you been, why are you biting all the bags?"

   "Just put on the swelling ointment later." Xin You was in a good mood as soon as she could see Zhou Ningyue tomorrow without any surprises.

  A girl from out of town had a storybook sold in the capital, and she speculated that this girl was a person who loved reading storybooks.

   What is certain is that this girl came to Beijing with her family, so when a bookstore sells books that are very popular, it is very likely that this girl will come to buy books. Even if I didn't come to buy "Painted Skin", sooner or later I would come to buy something else.

  For Xin You, naturally, the sooner she finds this girl, the better. The fact that Zhou Ningyue surfaced made her feel that luck was not that bad.

  For the first time, Xin You anxiously fell asleep, looking forward to the arrival of tomorrow.

  The next morning, Xin You went to Qiantou Bookstore.

  Liu Zhou and Shitou were still wiping the table and sweeping the floor, so they were a little surprised to see Xin You coming.

   "My boss is so early today."

   "Nothing else, let's see if there are too many guests."

   "Then you came early, why don't you come here for more than half an hour." Although Liu Zhou said so, he was in a happy mood.

  The business is really good recently. If it was changed before, there might not be any customers in the afternoon.

   "Really?" Xin You turned her eyes to the door.

  Liu Zhou looked at He Qingxiao who walked in early in the morning, and then at Xinyou, the fire of gossip was ignited.

  Could it be that the boss and Mr. He have made an appointment!
