Capture the Jade:
Teng Yuyi was stunned.
This question is really strange.
Could it be that Lin Chengyou wants to know everyone's opinion on his detoxification?
Speaking of which, this is not a small matter for the royal family. Seeing Lin Chengyou's seriousness, she only thought that there was some vital relationship involved in it, so she had to answer seriously: "I have the same opinion as other windows. You and Deng Niang are a perfect match—, when did you detoxify?"
Lin Chengyou stared at Teng Yuyi.
Her eyes are calm, and there is not even a little bit of sourness in her tone.
No, that's not right, he doesn't believe it.
"Wait a minute."
As he spoke, he shook out the Soul Lock Zhi from his sleeve, and cast a spell to make it wrap around Teng Yuyi's wrist.
"Okay, now we can continue."
Perhaps she was trying to cover herself up. Only by detecting her pulse can she find out whether Teng Yuyi's heart is in a mess at the moment.
Teng Yuyi looked at the silver chain in his hand suspiciously.
Lin Chengyou pointed to the surface of the river: "Chikou has not appeared for a long time. This place is facing the river. If that thing comes out of the water, I can rescue it in time with this restraint."
Teng Yuyi suddenly realized, and Zheng nodded emphatically: "The world is still considerate."
Lin Chengyou deliberately reminded her: "Where did you just say... Oh yes, so you saw Deng Niang holding the jewelry box of Zhaixinglou in her arms?"
As he asked the question nonchalantly, he secretly felt the pulse from the silver chain, and because he was so focused, he even held his breath.
Teng Yuyi was stunned: "Of course I saw it. The word "Zhaixinglou" is quite eye-catching. It's hard for people not to pay attention."
While she was speaking, Lin Chengyou was concentrating on holding the silver chain. Until the end of this sentence, her pulse and breathing were not disturbed.
It's just hopeless.
Heh, the way he asked the question must be wrong.
Then ask in another way.
He looked at her, smiled and said, "That's right, I went to the Zhaixing Building to buy jewelry, and I bought the most beautiful pair of Bu Yao in this building, and I plan to give it away tonight."
Teng Yuyi said lightly.
It seems that Deng Weili has already been given away. The sugar figurine in her mouth suddenly had a strange smell, as if it was not so sweet anymore. She frowned and handed the sugar figurine to Jun Nu. In fact, she was more curious about how the poison was cured than Lin Chengyou gave Deng Weili any jewelry. , Could it be that Qingxu's return this time really brought the method of understanding Gu, so Lin Chengyou was tempted by Deng Weili.
Deng Weili's delicate and charming expression appeared in front of her eyes. Deng Weili should be very satisfied with the gift from Lin Chengyou, otherwise he wouldn't be like that. Lin Chengyou's enthusiasm for investigating cases is not much. It's quite pleasing to my sweetheart.
She was a little curious about what jewelry he gave, but it was a private matter between him and Deng Weili. Besides, if she were Deng Weili, she would not want outsiders to know these things.
She gave a foolish smile, rested her chin and looked at the sparkling river surface, then not only did she not answer Lin Chengyou's words, she even lost the intention to speak.
Lin Chengyou counted Teng Yuyi's pulse calmly, his heart almost jumped out of his throat, but she was still heartbroken.
Very well, what is meant by "the wind does not move", I have learned enough tonight.
Even if you are not reconciled, you have to admit that Teng Yuyi doesn't mean anything to him now.
Going any further will only make her misunderstand that the person he likes is Deng Weili.
With a flick of his wrist, he stuffed the silver chain into his sleeve.
After being silent for a while, he picked up a stone by the side of his robe and threw it into the water. This was a game he loved to play since he was a child.
The moment the water ripples swayed, he figured it out.
What else can I do, who told him to like her, isn't the so-called "patience" used in this kind of place. Thinking about how many secrets she was carrying, no matter how depressed she was, she gradually felt relieved.
Teng Yuyi was about to get up and leave, but when she saw this, she picked up a stone and made a series of beautiful water splashes, then patted her robe: ", I have to go."
Suddenly there was something more in front of her, and Lin Chengyou handed her something wrapped in a brocade: "Look if you like it."
Teng Yuyi was taken aback, and curiously opened the makeup brocade, his eyes suddenly lit up, it was actually a pair of buds decorated with flower branches decorated with Qiongyu, the leaves and stamens were carved lifelike, and the Qiongyu hanging down also had a special expression Expensive, when gently swaying, the flowers and leaves are crystal clear and shining, which can be called a wonderful workmanship.
Teng Yuyi was stunned, even though she was used to seeing silk and pearls since she was a child, she never saw such a unique jewelry.
"This is—" She raised her eyes and met Lin Chengyou's dark eyes.
Lin Chengyou turned his head, looked straight ahead and said, "I don't know Deng Weili, and I have never given her any jewelry. I went to the Zhaixing Tower a while ago, but I only bought this pair of walking swings." , I wanted to send you off for a long time, but unfortunately I never had the chance. Hey, don’t think too much, didn’t you lose a step in the underground palace of Yuzhennv Guanguan last time, this can only be regarded as an apology .”
When he said the last sentence, he deliberately emphasized his tone. Teng Yuyi showed no sign of being moved by him. If he pretended to let her know the original intention of his gift, she would definitely not accept it.
But if he doesn't take it out, Teng Yuyi might really think that he bought jewelry as a gift to Deng Weili, which would be a big trouble for him.
He didn't want Teng Yuyi to think that he was a man of change and change.
Teng Yuyi stared blankly at Bu Yao, as if in a daze.
Lin Chengyou said lightly: "I didn't want to pay at first, but I heard that it was your mother's belongings. I accidentally lost it that time, so I was responsible. You can't come in and out at will, so I have to pay you a pair, and the purple jade saddle you gave back last time is too expensive, so I can only treat it as a small return gift."
Teng Yuyi came back to her senses at this moment, and looked up at the back of his neck. Lin Chengyou's back collar only showed a little shadow. She looked at it carefully for a while, and she felt relieved. The Gu seal is still there, but if the Gu poison is removed, the logic Gu seal will also disappear.
Let's just say, he hadn't been able to solve the Gu in the past, but now he can solve the Gu just by explaining it.
So what happened to Deng Weili.
As if guessing what she was wondering about, Lin Chengyou rubbed his chin and said, "Tonight's incident is a trick. I'm on the bridge to shake off my tail, not to **** with some girl. We had a tryst, and when Kuan Nu and I came around from the back alley, we didn’t see anyone, so it seems that someone deliberately plotted against Deng Niang and me, this matter is very strange, I will investigate it carefully.”
Teng Yuyi finally made a movement, wrapping the brocade bag in one hand, and raised one of the step rockers with the other hand to turn gently, the bright light was reflected on her Shuiqiu pupil.
Lin Chengyou waited for a while, seeing that she still didn't answer, he smirked, and deliberately provoked her: "Teng Yuyi, don't tell me that you don't like this step, that's right, compared to Ziyu'an, etc. Priceless treasure, this thing is really inconspicuous, if you do what Teng Yuyi wants, please give me back, and I will pay you a pair of more expensive ones later."
Teng Yuyi shrank her hand subconsciously: "Who said I can't look down on you? I think——"
Lin Chengyou spoke so clearly because he was afraid that she would be affectionate. However, no matter how close they are, men and women are different. It would be impolite to accept such a valuable compensation.
After thinking about it, Lin Chengyou kept what he said, this time she won't accept it, maybe next time he will really come up with something more valuable.
It's okay to accept it.
Think about it, if she breaks his baby, she will try her best to pay for it.
That's how she convinced herself.
"Okay." Teng Yuyi smiled and nodded, "But to be clear, I can't blame the world for losing Buyao in the underground palace last time, but the etiquette is so considerate, I have to reluctantly accept it. I'm satisfied with this step, don't spend any more money."
Lin Chengyou smiled brightly, afraid that she would see the clues, then he suppressed his smile again, pretending to be casual and said: "Then put it away. It's getting late, I'll take you back first."
"That's fine." Teng Yuyi couldn't put it down, played with it carefully for a while, and solemnly wrapped up the kit.
At this time, Kuan Nu got a few wishing lamps from nowhere: ", Qinglong Temple's lanterns are very effective, why don't you put a wishing lamp before you go."
Teng Yuyi became interested, and took one of the lamps: "Let's not say whether it works or not, it's fun anyway, where do you make a wish? Is it written in the lantern?"
Kuan Nu smiled and said, "There is a piece of bamboo slip in the lantern, you can write on it with water or ink. The villain has ink sticks here, mother, take some to write on. Remember to make a wish when you make a wish. Be pious, just write the names of the people you want to pray for."
Teng Yuyi walked to the side with the lantern in her hand, squatted down and dipped some water on the ink stick, took out the bamboo slips inside the lantern, and wrote down her wish on it seriously: cross the catastrophe safely.
After thinking about it, I added the names of grandpa, aunt, cousins and other people in the column of praying for blessings at the bottom. Although Duanfu is not a relative, he also wrote it solemnly. I accidentally saw Lin Chengyou over there, and suddenly remembered that he was assassinated with a poisoned arrow the other day. He is eighteen years old. If he could not be rescued, he would only have lived to be twenty-one years old.
She had an idea, but then hesitated, she didn't know if it would work for her as an outsider to help pray...
Forget it, he saved her so many times, out of gratitude, he should also help him pray for blessings, so he turned around and wrote Lin Chengyou's name respectfully.
Kuan Nu over there also handed a lantern to Lin Chengyou.
Lin Chengyou was too lazy to accept it. Looking back at the scene just now, even asking Teng Yuyi to accept a gift would take such a lot of effort. Well, it will be safe."
Lin Chengyou looked at the profile of Teng Yuyi, who was writing something devoutly on the bamboo slips.
Tonight is the Buddha Bathing Festival. Any girl in Chang'an would have no distractions to play, but only Teng Yuyi is still thinking about catching thieves.
So he changed his mind, took the lantern and the ink stick without saying a word, wrote a line on the bamboo slips, walked to the water's edge and put the lantern in the water.
At this moment, Teng Yuyi let out the lantern and came over, just in time to see this scene.
"What wish did make?"
Lin Chengyou smiled, but didn't answer: "Let's go."
Kuan Nu used bamboo poles to send the two lamps as far away as possible. When the lanterns were lit, the bamboo slips inside also lit up. He accidentally glanced at it, and there was only one line on the bamboo slips:
Teng Yuyi lived a long life.
***
On the way back, Teng Yuyi was busy discussing with Lin Chengyou how to lure the thief out of the cave. When he returned to the narrow alley just now, Teng Yuyi took off his gray cloak and handed it over to the slave.
Lin Chengyou looked at Teng Yuyi's veiled hat: "When you came out earlier, I told people that you went to the jewelry store to pick up things. Now that you go back, it's not good to go empty-handed. You're wearing a veiled hat on your head, don't you?" Put on Bu Yao. I have already greeted the owner of the jewelry shop, and if someone asks afterward, I'm not afraid that I won't be the right number."
Teng Yuyi thought about it, as long as she didn't take off the veil, no one would notice that there was a pair of Bu Yao on her head, not to mention that there were so many people tonight, and the pair of Bu Yao was only wrapped in a kit. Worried about breaking.
"Alright." Teng Yuyi took out the pair of Bu Yao, fumbled to put them on her head.
Lin Chengyou tilted his head and took a look, but unfortunately the alley was too dark to see what she looked like wearing this swing.
Teng Yuyi touched it again and again to make sure that Bu Yao was firmly inserted, and Kuan Nu came over and said, ", Yan Sizhi is waiting for you over there."
Seeing that Lin Chengyou was busy, Teng Yuyi hurriedly bid farewell and came out. Taking advantage of the crowd and the cover of the night, Teng Yuyi mixed into the crowd, but unexpectedly ran into Mrs. Wu and her party on the way.
Wu Xiang seemed to have been playing nearby, holding various gadgets in his hands, and when he saw Teng Yuyi, he stopped and smiled and said, "Your sister said you went to Linshuizhai to pick up the ordered jewelry, but I was waiting for you I haven't seen you back for a long time, so I couldn't hold back and went out to look for you, and I shouldn't have gone far. I'm going to put the wishing lamp, and I will come back to play with you later."
Her eyebrows and eyes are very similar to her younger sister Wu Qi, but she has a graceful body, white skin like jade, and she speaks more kindly.
Teng Yuyi broke up with Wu Xiang, returned to Jushuangzhai, and found that more than half of his classmates had disappeared.
Sister and cousin are not there, and looking around, even Huo Qiu's figure is gone.
There were only Deng Weili, Liu Siniang, Wu Qi and others on the table, they were all talkative and laughing people, but they were quite lively.
Teng Yuyi winked at Duanfu who was outside, signaling him to send Chang Geng to look for Ajie and the others. When he sat down, he looked around and asked with a smile, "Have you all gone out to release the wishing lamps?"
"That's right, I'll be back soon anyway." Liu Siniang looked at the jewelry in Deng Weili's brocade box, "Ayu, look, this is a gift Weili just received, and the other party also attached a letter expressing her admiration." The letter indicated that it was a gift, but it was a pity that it was not signed, and we are now guessing which gentleman sent it."
Deng Weili said with a smile: "It's good to return this thing, but I won't take it if there is no beginning and no end. I will tell my grandfather tomorrow to find the person who gave the gift and return the thing."
Teng Yuyi looked into the brocade box, and there was a pair of moon bead rings.
Wu Qi and Liu Siniang looked at each other, and said tacitly, "Wei Li, have you already guessed who the gift-giver is?"
Deng Weili said frankly: "I really don't know."
Wu Qi said narrowly: "Although there are not many young men who admire you, there are not many people in Chang'an who can afford this kind of jewelry. I don't believe that you don't have a shadow in your heart."
"From Zhaixing Building." Liu Siniang smiled and took a sip of tea, "We all saw it just now."
Deng Weili didn't answer the words, just lost his mind with a smile on his face, but from the look in her eyes, it seemed that she acquiesced to the answer.
Teng Yuyi took a deep look at Deng Weili, couldn't help but take off the veil, turned her head with her chin resting, and tapped her face lightly with her fingers.
When she moved, the Bu Yao on her head also shook.
At first no one paid attention, but Liu Siniang turned her head inadvertently, her eyes lit up immediately: "Ayu, are you making this pair of Bu Yao new?"
Wu Qi and Deng Weili also showed surprise and envy: "Ah, it's so beautiful."
Teng Yuyi smiled showing two deep dimples, looked directly at Deng Weili, and said casually: "I made it in Linshuizhai, and I picked it up and put it on in time for tonight's festival."
Deng Weili did not doubt that he was there, looked at him and said with a smile: "This is the first time I have seen such a strange walking style, Ayu, is this the style you drew yourself? Ingenious."
Wu Qi simply sat down beside Teng Yuyi, raised her face and looked carefully, at this time several people came in through the window, and after sitting down, she saw the brocade box of "Zhaixinglou" on the table, and whispered to Deng Weili: "Did King Cheng give it to you?"
Deng Weili was surprised: "Who?"
Liu Siniang feigned anger: "You are still pretending, I have been friends with you since we were young, you will not even hide it from me, we have seen it before, you are on the bridge with King Cheng Enjoy the scenery."
Deng Weili raised his hand in confusion and said, "Wait, wait, the reason why I stayed on the bridge earlier was because a door window asked me to wait for her at the seventh pier."
Teng Yuyi was slightly surprised and looked at Deng Weili. She thought that someone used Lin Chengyou's name to invite Deng Weili to the bridge, and Deng Weili also believed that it was Lin Chengyou's appointment, but seeing Deng Weili's performance, it seemed that this was not the case.
"Which window is it?" Wu Qi and the others were dubious.
"Aunt Wu." Deng Weili looked around, "She is the one who asked me to wait for her at the seventh pier."
Everyone is more and more surprised, Wu Xiang is steady and kind, not like a teasing personality.
Deng Weili looked at the window: "Aunt Wu seems to have passed by the building just now, no, I have to go to her and clarify this matter."
"You don't have to look for it anymore, it must be my elder brother who took my elder sister to release the wishing lamp." Wu Qi pouted, "The whole family loves my elder sister, so my mother, my elder brother That’s why, he came to see us tonight, and he didn’t say he would take me out to play.”
Liu Siniang and Deng Weili touched the back of Wu Qi's hand affectionately.
Teng Yuyi casually looked around, but saw a familiar figure.
Lu Zhaoan? How could Lu Zhaoan be here. Suddenly thinking that her sister was nearby, Teng Yuyi's heart skipped a beat. Lu Zhaoan couldn't be here for her sister.
She was about to go out to check, when she heard a shrill scream from the street.
"What happened?" Someone at the door of the store asked in surprise.
"A little girl over there has an accident."
"It looks like she is a noble lady."
The people in the store looked at each other in shock, only worried that it was a certain window, after a moment of silence, they swarmed into the store.
I saw that the arch bridge not far away was full of people, and soon, the crowd was dispersed.
Teng Yuyi was afraid that something might happen to her sister, so she was protected by Duan Fu and tried her best to squeeze into the crowd. When she got close, she saw a young lady in a tulip skirt lying on the ground.
Teng Yuyi recognized the man at a glance, and said in astonishment: "Ms. Wu."
Wu Xiang's originally beautiful facial features were distorted and deformed, the eye sockets were full of whites, his legs were stretched straight, and his whole body was twitching.
Wu Yuanluo half-knelt next to his sister, his face as pale as a piece of paper, trying to hold his sister down, but he was afraid of triggering a stronger reaction from her.
"Hurry up and ask Feng Yu!" Huge beads of sweat dripped from Wu Yuanluo's temples, he turned his head and scolded the maid beside Wu Xiang, "What are you doing in a daze, quickly put the handkerchief on your mother's face .”
The maidservants panicked and were about to cover their veils, when the crowd parted to the two sides, Lin Chengyou arrived, squatted down to take a look, and stuck a talisman on Wu Xiang's forehead, Wu Xiang straightened his back, finally No more twitches.
Wu Yuanluo raised his sleeve and wiped his sweat: ", my sister is—"
Lin Chengyou rolled Wu Qi's eyelids, and his expression turned ugly. He was accompanied by Yan Sizhi and others, who were surprised when they saw this and said: "Lin Pingshi, this **** looks like..."
"The murderer should not be far away." Lin Chengyou said blankly, "She just got her soul taken away."
As he spoke, he raised his head to look at the crowd, his eyes swept from left to right one by one, as if he wanted to imprint the expressions of everyone in the crowd.
