Capture the Jade:

On March 25th, Xiangxiang Academy starts.

It was just dawn, and the street in front of the academy was full of carts from various prefectures. For this day, each government has been preparing for a long time in advance. As soon as the door opened at dawn, the servants moved in an endless stream, seeming to know that the academy has strict rules, and the servants are all cautious in their words and deeds. They rubbed their shoulders together, but there was no sound of conversation inside the door.

Teng Yuyi and Du Tinglan were the first to report to the academy, and once they entered, the official took their master and servant to the dormitory.

As the queen said, the few good names that were drafted in Leshan Villa that time were all stored in various places in the academy.

The bookstore where the scriptures are taught is called Tanliyuan, which was presented by Wu Qi at the beginning. The teacher of the temperament is called Dongyoulou, which was presented by Zheng Shuangyin.

The maids' dormitory is called Zimu Pavilion, which was dedicated by Liu Siniang, the Minister of the Household Department, Liu Guying.

The dormitory is a two-person pavilion. Since most of the students are from aristocratic families, each person is allowed to bring a maid, but they are not allowed to buy meals in the room, let alone drink and have fun in the room. Students must eat in Si Shan Court.

Early classes in the morning, no unauthorized entry and exit from the academy in the evening, must go to bed in the middle of the day, and even three meals are set at the same time.

Teng Yuyi and Du Tinglan are in a dormitory. Du Tinglan lives in the East Wing, Teng Yuyi lives in the West Wing, and there is a small living room in the middle. Du Tinglan keeps a maidservant, Hong Nu, beside Du Tinglan. Fast, and combing her hair fast means she can sleep a little longer in the morning, so she reluctantly chose Biluo.

Chunrong blushed from crying because of this, thinking that she would lose her motherhood for a month, and was still wiping tears when she was leaving.

The two sisters live in the middle of the dormitory on the east side, sister Peng Huayue is on the right, and Deng Weili, the grandson of Deng Zhiyao in Zheng Shuangyin's servant, is on the left.

Further on, it is the dormitory of Li Huaigu and Liu Siniang.

Wu Xiang and Wu Qi don't live in the same row as them, but in the dormitory on the opposite row.

When Li Huaigu came out, Teng Yuyi looked at her attentively. Li Huaigu had just recovered from a serious illness, so his complexion was inevitably worse than before. A few lovely and pitiful characters.

After a while, the queen arrived.

The students were silent like cicadas, waiting in the vestibule holding silk.

One day at a time, two deans, four officials, and several great Confucian scholars who were invited to watch the ceremony, together with the Minister of the Ministry of Rites, performed the ceremony of raising the drum box.

The ceremony lasted for an hour according to the process of entering a higher school in the Imperial College. The queen said a lot of words of encouragement to encourage the first batch of students she personally selected.

During the Queen's speech, she looked at Du Tinglan below. The quietness of this girl was different from others. She was not pretending, but really looked like a soft and solemn Bodhisattva statue. The more attractive.

After the empress finished her training, Teng Yuyi dared to look straight ahead, and as expected, she met the simple official Jian Mingxiu whom Lin Chengyou had mentioned beside the empress.

Jian Mingxiu is the master of Jian Wenqing, a great Confucian in Luoyang, and the youngest of the four officials. He is about 20 years old. It is said that he is as literary and talented as his father. marry.

Officer Jian did not look sideways, and never looked down. She is the official of the Department of Reading. The so-called reading refers to being in charge of the students' homework.

After the students have paid their repairs one by one, the ceremony will be over. The Queen drives back to the palace, and Vice President Liu leads the students to bow down and send them off.

Teng Yuyi originally thought that today was just a promotion to school, and after the ceremony, they would be asked to go back to the dormitory to tidy up the cages. Unexpectedly, the officials would immediately lead them to the Liyuan Academy for classes. The first class was the first of the Great Classics The first volume of "Book of Rites", and the lecturer is Mrs. Liu, the vice president.

Madam Liu has always been strict with her words, and she was even more calm when teaching. The students sat on the table, and they all dared not show their pride.

Teng Yuyi was afraid that she might accidentally yawn, so she gritted her teeth.

Last night she went back to the house in the middle of the night in order to collect ghosts, and she woke up before dawn in the morning, and she is already sleepy now. If she taught something new, she might not be able to doze off, but these experiences made her very tired I learned it by heart before the age of 10, which is really sleepy.

In order to divert her attention, she glanced left and right, Peng Huayue's eyes were wide open, but Peng Jinxiu's head had already been knocked. The ruler lightly tapped several sides of Peng Jinxiu.

Peng Jinxiu opened her eyes in a jerk. According to the academy's rules, she was found lazy in get out of class by the law officer and had to hand-copy the homework twenty times after class. Now she dared not fall asleep again. I can look at the table and want to cry without tears. Peng Huayue on the other end seemed to think that her sister was not up to date, so she couldn't help but rolled her eyes at her.

Not long after, Dean Liu began to ask questions, which were very deep and lively, and no one answered them at first.

If you don't understand, you dare not answer casually.

Those who understand, such as Du Tinglan, who is steady and introverted and doesn't like to show off, are unwilling to answer;

Zheng Shuangyin's temperament is aloof and arrogant, and he thinks the question is too simple, so he doesn't bother to answer it;

Teng Yuyi entered the academy to find the murderer, not to marry the younger brother of the clan for the sake of being outstanding, and she was too lazy to answer.

Dean Liu waited for a long time and didn't wait for anyone to answer, so he simply pointed down: "Wu Xiang, you answer."

Wu Xiang gave a good answer, and at the end he extended it gently.

Dean Liu nodded while listening, Teng Yuyi looked at Wu Xiang in surprise, this question is not difficult to answer, but Aunt Wu's honesty is really impressive.

This requires not only familiarity with the scriptures, but also a very high comprehension ability.

But thinking about it again, Wu Zhongcheng's talent and reputation have never been inferior to Zheng Pushe's. Wu Yuanluo, the master of the Wu family, is also known as a child prodigy.

She looked at Aunt Wu carefully, her appearance was softer and more beautiful than that of her younger sister Wu Qi, but her temperament was not as lively as her younger sister Wu Qi's. When Aunt Wu was naturally shy, she didn't expect that she was just good at hiding her clumsiness.

In retrospect, Aunt Wu only started to socialize frequently after retiring from her marriage. According to Teng Yuyi, Duan Qingying is not as good as Wu Xiang in every way. Mr. Zheng must have a leak in his eyes, so he met Duan Qing before getting married. Sakura scratched her head and tail.

After thinking about it, Duan Ningyuan made a fool of himself, Teng Yuyi thought coldly in his heart, all men in the world like to change their minds, and the marriage contract can't stop these men from being hot-headed.

Suddenly I thought of my grandpa and aunt again, how loving my grandpa and mother were at the beginning, but when my grandpa passed away, there was only her by my side, my grandpa——

Thinking about it, her heart seemed to be frozen with ice, leaving only a coldness.

Dean Liu really praised Wu Xiang very much, and ordered the official Jian to write down Wu Xiang's answers and send them to the palace to show to the queen, and said: "When the questions are asked in the future, anyone who answers well will be judged." Write it down in everyone's conduct book, and do it in the future evaluation, and the answer is particularly brilliant, and it 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 a timely manner, and they need to be diligent and introspective in the future.

Everyone responded anxiously.

After this class, it will be noon.

The students sent off Dean Liu, feeling exhausted, so they took each other to Sishan Pavilion for lunch.

Fortunately, there is no official to supervise during lunch, so I am not so restrained all at once.

After dinner, returning to Zimu Pavilion, Liu Siniang took the lead with her maidservants to present face-to-face gifts to the windows, and then Zheng Shuangyin and Deng Weili also left the house with food boxes.

Teng Yuyi and Du Tinglan also prepared gifts. As soon as a few people took the lead, the Zimu Pavilion became lively, and the girls met in the veranda, exchanging gifts in a lively manner.

Deng Weili seemed to be very curious about Teng Yuyi, so he glanced at Teng Yuyi several times while giving the gift.

Teng Yuyi couldn't help looking at Deng Weili.

Deng Weili's grandfather was Deng Zhiyao, a servant, and his maternal grandfather was the Duke of Wei, who lived in a luxurious family, one of the most expensive houses in Chang'an City.

Mrs. Always accompanied by a large number of children.

In her previous life, when she was in the Daming Palace, she met Deng Weili once. At that time, she didn't dare to look around because she met the empress. In the end, only a vague image was left in her mind. She only remembered Deng Weili's beautiful appearance.

After taking a closer look this time, I realized that Deng Weili had some sort of relationship with himself.

Liu Siniang also noticed this immediately, looked at Teng Yuyi and then at Deng Weili, surprised: "Teng Niang looks like Deng Niang, Du Niang, what do you think?"

It's like, Du Tinglan thought in her heart, they all have watery eyes and a flower-like face, but they don't look the same when you look closely. Eye. It's not so much alike in looks, it's better to talk about demeanor. Some of them are alike, they are all the delicate appearances that don't care about everything.

Deng Weili poked his head naively: "I said, why do you think Mrs. Teng is so kind? It turns out that it's because of our photoshoot. You don't remember me, do you? I still remember you. We played chess when we were young. You beat me among so many kids. It's a pity that I was at my grandfather's house in Luoyang for the first two months, so I didn't know you came to Chang'an."

Teng Yuyi was taken aback, had she met Deng Weili when she was young? What year was that? How could she have no memory at all.

She asked: "Where did I win you?"

"In our mansion, my grandfather celebrated his birthday, and the steward of your mansion brought you home to give gifts. You played with us all afternoon. You were only five or six years old at that time, and I was with you for five years."

Du Tinglan was listening, and couldn't help but smile a little, the two of them don't look alike, but they do look alike in their smart and revealing expressions when they speak.

Deng Weili took Teng Yuyi's arm while speaking, and ordered the servant girl to give the gift he had prepared to the two of them.

The Peng sisters are the most generous. They actually prepared a set of high-quality brushes, ink, paper and inkstones for each of the students. After hearing the news one after another, a dozen or so girls gathered in the Peng sisters' house.

After talking in this room, everyone went to the house of Liu Siniang and Li Huaigu together. Li Huaigu treated people very well. , but she didn't know if it was because she had just recovered from her illness, so she only took some chestnuts made in her own mansion.

Teng Yuyi looked at Li Huaigu with admiration. A person is not afraid of making mistakes, but he is afraid that the crux of the problem will be lost consciousness after making mistakes. It's time to decide to follow him.

Next, when the windows went to each house to give gifts, Li Huaigu really only followed each other with a groan, and when Deng Weili and Zheng Shuangyin discussed the rhythm, she no longer interjected as quietly as in the past.

After delivering the gifts, the officials brought the envoys over to say that it was time for a lunch break, and the children reluctantly went back to their houses.

BiluoHongnu met with the chef to get water, Teng Yuyi worked in the west room for a while, and ran to the east room with the little puppet, saying that she would sleep on the same bed with sister.

Du Tinglan pushed the pillow to Teng Yuyi in a good-tempered manner, moved it in by herself, looked up at the opposite room, and whispered: "You hung flowers in front of the bed again?"

Teng Yuyi pulled the quilt to her chin: "I also hung it by the window. After lunch break for more than an hour, I slept well, and Duanfu was not around. Who knows if that person will do something strange?" Move."

"It's better to be cautious." Du Tinglan, "Did you rest very late yesterday? You looked like you wanted to doze off during class, so go to sleep while you're at it. Sister will keep an eye on you."

Teng Yuyi yawned, and buried her head in the little puppet's arms: "Sister, you can sleep too. The mechanism is made so that there is no trace, as long as anyone dares to go there, they will not be able to escape."

The students seemed to have rested, and the porch outside slowly became quiet. After a while, the whole courtyard could only hear the sound of flowers and plants swaying in the wind.

The two sisters fell asleep without knowing it, and I don't know how long it took before they heard Biluo Hongnu calling softly beside the bed: "Mother, it's time to get up."

Du Tinglan was already alert, so she hurriedly opened her eyes. When Teng Yuyi got out of bed, she looked at the opposite room.

Biluo helped Teng Yuyi to dress up, and said in a low voice: "The servant girl, the red slave, was afraid of disturbing the mother's lunch break, so she walked around the garden after fetching water, and just sat down under the banana tree. One will come."

Teng Yuyi came to his senses immediately: "They didn't go back to the house for a nap?"

Hong Nu helped Du Tinglan make up at the other end, and shook her head when she heard the words: "They seemed to be asking someone to deliver a letter, and they seemed to be coming from the front yard. When they passed by, they probably felt that there was no one in the garden, so they stopped and said After a few words, Mrs. Peng seemed not very happy. She sighed as soon as she came over, saying that she had made a mistake. It turned out that the peasant woman who fell on Lishan Mountain that day was arranged by the queen. Now she has lost a step. I'm afraid it's hard to remedy."

Du Tinglan and Teng Yuyi were all taken aback, the one that came out that day was actually ordered by the queen.

Teng Yuyi was even more surprised by another layer. There should not be many people in the court who 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 girls who went back to help the peasant women that day, but judging from what the queen meant, it seemed that they were most interested in the Wu family. Maybe Aunt Wu was angry because of Zheng Dagong's remorse. In the past, she didn't even make a lot of appearances, but recently she has been in the limelight frequently, and with Wu Zhongcheng's power in the court, it is very likely that Aunt Wu will be appointed."

Teng Yuyi asked: "What did Peng Jinxiu say?"

"Peng Erniang said: 'Not necessarily, isn't it still Teng Yuyi, Du Tinglan, Zheng Shuangyin? And Deng Weili, she was in Luoyang that day and didn't go to Lishan, the queen might also like her.'"

"Aunt Peng scolded her younger sister:'I know how to eat and drink every day, and I don't use my brain. , This is an excellent opportunity to show your face. If it weren't for the fact that you wanted to take care of Mrs. Wu, how could it be like this. According to me, Dean Liu has already communicated with the Wu family, and even this matter was acquiesced by the queen. I don't believe you Just look, the concubine is ten to ninety-nine is Wu Da Niang'."

Bi Luo vividly recounts the conversation between the two.

Du Tinglan was stunned.

Teng Yuyi thought about it, what he meant, the choice of the concubine is related to the national system, the academy has just started, and all parties in the DPRK and China have taken action. This is the first day, and there will be more tricks in the future .

If Dean Liu belongs to the Wu family, under the frequent care of the dean, Aunt Wu is indeed more likely to win the Queen's favor.

I don't know which house the four officials are dealing with.

The academy is heavily guarded, the Peng sisters don't rest in the room at noon, but go out to deliver the letter, expecting to respond inside the academy, who could it be? Well, maybe it was one of the officials.

Hong Nu said again in a low voice: "In addition to this, Mrs. Peng also scolded my sister, saying that she withheld her letter, and told her to give up her heart, and said that the academy may not be closed on the day of the Buddha's Day. Even if she is on vacation, she still wants to instruct her servants to help her create an opportunity to meet His Royal Highness."

Teng Yuyi was taken aback for a moment. The eighth day of April is the Buddha Bathing Festival (Note 1). The people of Chang’an will go out together. There are Buddha teachings everywhere in the city, and there is no curfew at night. It is one of the most lively festivals of the year. It doesn't count for a few days.

But Du Tinglan almost slipped the hairpin in his hand to the ground, and Peng Jinxiu fell in love with Chun'an County King.

She listened nervously to the commotion on the corridor, and told the second servant girl seriously: "This kind of thing appears to be boudoir chats, but in fact it involves a lot. Once the other party knows that you are eavesdropping, it will definitely bring infinite harm. Endless troubles, remember, only this time, don't listen to the corner again in the future!"

When Du Tinglan spoke softly, it was the first time that he was so serious. The second maidservant realized that the matter was of great importance, and said repeatedly: "My maidservant will never dare."

Du Tinglan also said: "When we go to school during the day, you need to stay in the room here. My sister's personal jewelry and small things must not be stolen by others. You should know how to lose them. What the consequences of things will be, you must not take chances."

The second servant girl bowed her head.

After dinner, the ladies did their homework in the room, and since it was time to go to bed, they wanted to visit each other.

Compared to Zheng Shuangyin and other nobles, Deng Weili is more lively and cute. Most of these girls who grew up in Chang'an are on good terms with her.

When the servant girl next to Deng Weili invited Teng Yuyi and Du Tinglan over, the room was full of people.

Everyone is discussing the trip on the Buddha's Day.

Deng Weili said: "I asked the dean and her old man, and she said that there was only one big scripture class in the morning, and the holiday was at noon. That day, all the major Buddhist temples had theaters, and the most lively one was the Ci'en Temple (Note 2), why don't we go out and have fun together."

The man pulled Teng Yuyi over: "Ms. Teng, you were in Yangzhou in the past, and I didn't know you well. This year, I came to Chang'an, so I have to have a good time."

Zheng Shuangyin asked Teng Yuyi: "Ayu, where do you want to go that day?"

Teng Yuyi sat down next to her elder sister: "The Temple of Ci'en is far away from the academy, and I have to go to school the next day, and I have to go to Qinglong Temple. Those who have entered the Jinshi Department are the so-called 'titles of the Temple of Ci'en', we These talented people might as well come up with a 'Title of Qinglong Temple'."

The eyes of the children lit up, and they all said the idea was interesting.

Wu Qi was playing chess with Liu Siniang, when she heard this, she pointed at Teng Yuyi: "I said Teng Niang is fun, if you don't believe me, just wait and see, she will have more good ideas later. "

The whole day has been suffocated, and the children were extravagantly wanton when they talked, until it was time for bedtime, everyone still had a smile on their faces.

As soon as Teng Yuyi and Du Tinglan returned to the house, the four officials came to inspect together.

Officer Jian seemed to be in charge of the east corridor. When he walked into Teng Yuyi's house and Du Tinglan's house, he first looked around casually, and then said softly, "Today is your first day in the academy, can you still get used to it?"

When he spoke, his gaze stayed on Teng Yuyi for a moment.

These words were not revealing, but Teng Yuyi knew that if the official Jian had not been entrusted by Lin Chengyou, he would never have asked this question.

She hurriedly said: "Mr. Lao Jian is concerned, everything is fine."

Officer Jian: "The two of you have done a good job in your homework. I'm the tutor. If you encounter anything you don't understand in your homework, you can come and ask me."

Du Tinglan and Teng Yuyi lowered their heads and said, "Yes."

Officer Jian asked the envoy to hand the two of them a basket: "The dean ordered that students need to respect the writing paper. In the future, they will not be able to use the peach blossom paper and green gold paper that they brought home, but they need to unify them. The paper and ink in the academy will be returned every half a month, and you can talk to Mr. when you are done."

The two sisters took the basket and sent Officer Jian out of the house respectfully.

Closing the doors and windows, Du Tinglan saw that it was getting late, so she went back to her room to change clothes, Teng Yuyi took a basket and went back to the West Wing room logically, touched it, there was a pen, ink, paper and inkstone on the surface, but there was a small lacquer hidden underneath box.

Open it and look, inside is a box of Sanqing cakes, and there is a letter beside it, with a few lines written crookedly on it:

Niang Teng, how are you in the academy? I must not be comfortable at home. I'm afraid I won't be able to ask you out this month to get rid of the trouble. We made Sanqing cake, so you can study with peace of mind after eating.

The inscription reads: Jue Sheng, Abandoned Wisdom, Kowtow.

Teng Yuyi stared at the scribbled letter and got up. A letter without beginning or end, mixed with a lot of typos, but the heart in the letter is heavy. Unfortunately, she can't reply to the letter, so she can only ask Officer Jian to reply with a "well".

Looking at the back of the bottom , Lin Chengyou probably did it to avoid suspicion, but he didn't say a word.

Teng Yu wanted to burn the letter with a candle, waited patiently for the ashes to burn out, and then set up traps in front of the window and in front of the bed, and then shared a bed with Sister in the opposite room to sleep.

After lying down, Du Tinglan tucked up the quilt for Teng Yuyi. Looking back on this day, she felt extremely tired. She looked at the ceiling and sighed: "The first day of the academy has passed."

Teng Yuyi counted the days with her fingers: "On the eighth day of April, it's still half a month before I can go out to play."

"It's coming soon." Biluo Hongnu slept on the couch next to the bed, got up and turned off the light, "I have to get up early tomorrow, mother, go to bed earlier."

***

The next day, the palace.

When Lin Chengyou dressed and went out, Kuan Nu came over to report: "Shifu, you are still fine this morning."

Lin Chengyou paused. Yesterday was Teng Yuyi's first day of school. He stayed up late last night in order to wait for the news. According to Jian's report, there was nothing to do during the day yesterday.

Looks like nothing happened at night.

He looked at Kuan Nu's empty hands: "Just this one? No one?"

Kuan Nu was stunned for a moment: "Only this."

The academy is so strict, is it possible that the world still expects Teng Niang to send another box of flower cakes?

Lin Chengyou thought to himself, the college meals are uniform, students are not allowed to drink and have fun, Teng Yuyi can bear the alcoholism, but the old man Xiaoya may not be able to bear it, he thought Teng Yuyi would ask him to bring her wine, this matter It's not difficult, as long as he wants to find her, no matter how strict the academy is, it won't be able to stop him.

It's a pity that Teng Yuyi didn't mention it at all, probably because he was afraid that it would be too troublesome for him, so he had no choice but to change his words: "Specially send someone to wait for Officer Jian's reply near the academy, and wait all day long, not leaving for a moment, remember?" /

Kuan Nu hurriedly said: "I sent people over earlier. By the way, it is said that the academy will be closed on the Buddha Bathing Day."

Only then did Lin Chengyou look happy, and he pondered for a while: "Got it."

While speaking, he looked at the opposite corner of the street calmly, got on the horse, and looked straight ahead: "The 'tail' behind me has been following me for a long time, and you still haven't figured out who the family is?"

"It's almost clear."

"Then grab it, remember, you have to live."

Kuan Nu silently nodded his head.

Lin Chengyou urged the horse to go to Dali Temple, first went to the morgue to find Chen Yuzuo, and then went to the office to find Yan Sizhi.

Yan Sizhi was carefully checking the two files of Hu Jizhen and Li Yinger, looked up at Lin Chengyou, and hurriedly said: "Lin Jushi, I have sorted out the similarities between the two cases."

Lin Chengyou sat down and took a look, there are three places:

Both the first and second victims were enchanted with their souls. This is an extremely rare modus operandi, and it can basically be determined that it was done by only one person.

The second and two victims both live in Yiningfang.

Third, they all went to Deshan Street before they were killed. Hu Jizhen had to go through Deshan Street on his way home, and the Chuguo Temple where Li Yinger fell into a well and died was just opposite Deshan Street.

"Based on the past few days, it's hard not to suspect that the murderer is alone." Yan Sizhi said, "And the murderer probably lives near Deshan Street. Unfortunately, the murderer of Hu Jizhen's case left too few clues. , otherwise, more common points can be summed up.”

Lin Chengyou put the things in his hands on the table: "Brother Yan, first look at the autopsy report just written by Chen Yuzuo. There is a lot of oil on the soles of Li Yinger's shoes. After inspection, it is meat oil such as hog oil. The day before yesterday I went to the Chuguo Temple to check the well where Li Yinger fell, and found a handprint along the well, which was full of flies, and I guess it was meat oil. I went to check again yesterday, and found that the handprint was the same as that of Li Yinger. Yinger's right hand is the same size, which means that it was left by Li Yinger grabbing the edge of the well before she fell into the well. The two together, I guess she fell down before the accident, but the palm of her hand pressed something like a piece of meat on the ground, so It was not scratched, but rubbed with a hand of oil."

Yan Sizhi looked through the autopsy report in amazement: "There is meat oil on the hands and meat oil on the soles of the feet. Could it be that Li Yinger went to a meat shop or something before the accident?"

"But there are no meat restaurants nearby, not even shops." Lin Chengyou thought for a while, "Ask Li Yinger's companion at the time, and they also said that they came out to play together, and went straight into Chuguo Temple , Li Yinger is still fine. Judging by Li Yinger's makeup that day, she doesn't look like a sloppy person. The soles of her shoes and her hands are full of dirty oil. It is impossible not to wash them, so this should be the moment before she lost consciousness. What happened, after that, although I lost my soul, I insisted on going to the well, probably because I wanted to wash my hands in a daze, but accidentally fell into the well."

Yan Sizhi: "Could the murderer be a butcher? In the past, I asked the butcher to bring home unsold meat. At that time, I tied it with a straw rope and carried it in my hand. When that man chased and killed Li Yinger The piece of meat fell, and happened to be touched by Li Yinger when she fell. Meat oil is not easy to clean, so even if the murderer knew that he had left evidence, he could only leave in a hurry. I will go to Deshan Street to ask if there is any nearby People like butchers live."

Lin Chengyou suddenly said: "Don't you think something is wrong? Hu Jizhen and Li Yinger are about the same age, one is a young man, and the other is a little lady in a skirt. Hu Jizhen is still riding a horse. Who will take care of him when he is in danger?" Come on, isn't it clear at a glance. When the murderer assassinated Hu Jizhen, he didn't leave half a clue, why did he become so embarrassed after chasing and killing Yinger?"

"This——"

"Either it's not a single person, or the murderer encountered unexpected twists and turns when he assassinated Li Ying'er—" Lin Chengyou looked up, "It's true that the monks in the temple hid meat for themselves, it seems that I still have to Go to the chef of Chuguo Temple."

***

For several days in a row, the academy was calm.

Officer Jian would come to look for Teng Yuyi every day, and Teng Yuyi would reply every night, "Nothing happened".

She quickly adapted to the life in the academy. The meals were not bad, and the windows were friendly and friendly. Xiaoya stayed with her in the academy for a month, and he was afraid that he would be overwhelmed.

Fortunately, I brought my grandfather's half-made brocade robe with me when I entered school, and when Teng Yu was free, I asked my sister to take her to make clothes.

In the blink of an eye, the Buddha Bathing Festival came.

Early in the morning, when the white teacher was still in class, the children couldn't help but flicker their eyebrows and eyes. After class and lunch, they rushed back to the room to dress up. I have to go back to the academy to sleep at night, so I need to hurry up and go out.

All the prefectures got the news and came to pick them up before noon. By the time everyone got dressed and came out of the academy, there were already a lot of carts at the door.

The children discussed at the door before the meeting, and Deng Weili told everyone: "It's agreed, we will meet outside the Qinglong Temple theater at the beginning of Youshi. Jushuangzhai, don't leave."

Teng Yuyi and Du Tinglan took the same car, Teng Yuyi put down the window curtain, turned around and said to Du Tinglan: "The man hasn't shown his feet these days, sister, do you think that person will find a chance to strike tonight?"

Du Tinglan worried: "I think it will. There are many rules in the academy, but there are many people in the market. I think it's a good opportunity to make a move. Otherwise, I'd better go out tonight. Sister is not afraid. I'm afraid Duanfu won't be able to take care of him."

Teng Yuyi said: "Don't be afraid, I'm just waiting for her to make a move. I'm really curious about how she will deal with me. After I think about it, I will go back to make arrangements in the afternoon. In short, I must catch her tonight. "

Teng Yuyi sent a letter to Qingyun Temple as soon as he returned to the mansion, but unfortunately he didn't wait for Lin Chengyou's reply until he went out in the evening.

Teng Yuyi changed into a newly made dress, put on a veiled hat, and came out of the mansion. According to the planned arrangement, she took Duanfu, Chang Geng and others with her, and went to Du's mansion by car to pick up her cousin. Go to the Qinglong Temple Theater to play, and join in the fun no matter what you say.

This is the three siblings going to the most lively Chongyi Square tonight.

The streets are full of horses and horses, and monks on the side of the road are releasing "cakes and rice cakes". In other words, this lively scene is not inferior to the Shangyuan Festival.

Duanfu, Huoqiu, Chang Geng and others were hidden in the crowd, not far away from Teng Yuyi. not close distance.

When we arrived at the gate of Jushuangzhai as agreed, there were indeed many people waiting in the store, except for the window in the academy, there were also brothers and sisters of everyone, fortunately they were not very old, so there was no need to avoid suspicion.

Zheng Shuangyin and others personally came to pick up Teng Yuyi and his brother. After sitting down, they looked outside. They happened to be able to see the long trestle bridge opposite Qinglong Temple. There are strings of wishing lights floating on the river, which look like bright beads from a distance. Tonight is a good time to make a wish for safety.

Li Huai took a look at the windows of Jushuangzhai, and said doubtfully, "There are still a few people who haven't come."

"Where is Deng Weili? She is the host tonight, why hasn't she shown up yet?"

Most of the people on the table like Deng Weili, and they are busy trying to smooth things over: "It's not like you don't know her personality, she is naive and delicate, she always goes out slower than other people, just wait a bit."

Suddenly another person said: "Hey, have you heard that? Wang and his wife are going back to Beijing soon. They said they heard that their son has a sweetheart. The first thing they do when they come back this time is to say hello to their son." .”

Teng Yuyi was drinking tea, but he almost choked when he heard the words. Who on earth is deliberately spreading these rumors? Last time, people said this in the Lishan Palace, and it came again tonight, but that day in the wilderness She could see clearly that there was a red-gold Gu imprint on the back of Lin Chengyou's 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 can't talk about me anymore. That day, Wang Shiyi called Yu Fengyu face to face for this matter, which made my elder brother unable to give birth to Taiwan. It was also a disaster for me. The two of them fought, and I got involved for no reason, and now I hate my elder brother to death, even if my elder brother lost me a thousand-mile horse, I wouldn't bother him."

Another person continued to answer: "It's not you this time. Because I heard that the young lady is very delicate, and Wu Erniang, you are also very good-looking, but you have a sassy temperament. I heard that Wang Shiyi loves that girl very much." This little lady, in order to please that little lady, even bought very expensive jewelry in the Zhaixing Tower."

Even the Star Picking Tower came out? Teng Yuyi looked at the teacup in his hand, and unless someone secretly followed Lin Chengyou, even if they spread rumors, they would not be able to go into detail to this extent. Could it be that Lin Chengyou really likes someone? Impossible, how can the Gu poison be solved as soon as it is explained.

Delicate? jewelry? Thinking about Lin Chengyou's partiality for his younger brother and younger sister, if he was really moved by Fanxin, he might have done such a thing, but he didn't know who that girl was.

Du Tinglan pretended to casually look at the younger sister beside her. She once suspected that Lin Chengyou liked her younger sister, and she only dispelled her doubts because of the memory of Lin Chengyou's unfeeling gu. And these Japanese sisters can eat and sleep when they are in the academy, and they don't look like they are falling in love.

Suddenly, people were startled: "Hey, isn't that Deng Weili?"

Li Huaigu followed the prestige, the tea in the cup almost shook out.

When Teng Yuyi raised her eyes, she couldn't help but also opened her eyes wide. On the trestle bridge not far away, Deng Weili was standing on the bridge with two maidservants. A hibiscus-like face was revealed, with a full-spirited appearance, brighter than the bright moon above her head.

The tall and handsome young man standing next to him is not Lin Chengyou. Lin Chengyou looked at the middle of the river, but he didn't know what he was looking at.

Pedestrians passing by frequently looked back, and it seemed that they had never seen such a well-matched and beautiful man.

The people in the room blushed and said, "The girl Wang Shiyi saw, could it be Deng Weili?"

Teng Yuyi turned her head to one side, put down the teacup, and said, "Hey, isn't that a sugar maker? I haven't been in Chang'an for these years, and I have forgotten what it's like to be a sugar maker. I'll go out and buy a few sugar sellers. Who do you want?"

The man said: "I want, Mrs. Teng, please bring me a bunch."

Teng Yuyi narrowed his eyes, looked for Duanfu at the door, and signaled him to go and have a look with his eyes. At this moment, a man in brocade clothes outside the door was about to enter the building. The man stepped back subconsciously, and when he looked again, he only had a wrong eye, and Lin Chengyou and Deng Weili on the bridge were all gone.
