Chapter 430

The west courtyard of the study is a tense moment, and the backyard accompanies the Wulanala clan to return to the main courtyard to talk Erfu, who is not idle at all, Zhang Bao provides a set of file books that do not know the origin, and compared with the file books of the servants in the house, one by one outlines the list of suspects.

Among them, the ones that were suspected by Erfu and the Wulanala clan were a number of dancing girls who were purchased from Hangzhou Mansion the year before last.

After all, during the time period that Concubine Tong Jia said, she had to appear in front of everyone without suspicion, and she had to carry weapons with her, and there were only those dancing girls who were performing on the lake.

Whoever asked Erfu to design the dance skirts were the kind of layered floor-length skirts and Tang Feng palace skirts with wide waists, and if they stuffed a short sword or a short knife into it, no one would be able to find out.

Even if Hao Lin, who is in charge, will arrange a manual body search, it is not good to check too carefully, after all, Hao Lin's cadres are all men, or eunuchs who have gone to the roots, and they all need to pay attention to the matter of male and female defense.

"Why don't you send them all away!" Erf sighed as she flipped through the booklet in her hand and looked at the portraits of the beauties scratching their heads.

"Send it away, where will it go?" asked Ulanara with a smile.

Erfu was stunned by the question, scratched her head with her backhand, and replied with a somewhat self-deceptive smirk: "It's better to find someone for them all to marry, there is a lot of power on the left and right Zhuangzi." I think I can settle it!"

"Let's not say that these dancing girls are a lot of money to buy back, can he be willing to give up these silver, just say that these dancing girls who wear brocade silk on weekdays are the kind of temperament that can live an ordinary life?

It was our master who gave his subordinates a marriage. Then you have to find the right one. If this is a lot of resentment, it's even more trouble, my silly girl!" Ulanala reached out and tapped Erf's head, his tone full of helpless chatter.

"Hey, my Fujin, you can't abuse me like this!" As soon as the words of the Ulanala clan fell, Erfu hugged her head and wailed, it turned out to be the random little movements of the Ulanala clan. It happened to poke the bruise on the door of her head.

Seeing this, the Ulanala clan smiled a little embarrassedly, and spread his hands as if begging for mercy.

Erf was just a little annoyed flipping through the booklets. Only then did she pretend to be stupid and play treasure to ease the atmosphere in the room, and seeing that Wulanala and Yaoqin and others no longer paid attention to her, they also lowered their heads and continued to flip through the booklet.

A dancing girl purchased from Hangzhou. There were thirty-seven of them. Ages range from fifteen to seventeen. Among them, the most outstanding ones are named Chunhong and Qiutao, don't look at the cheesy names of the two, but the appearance is charming and vulgar, showing the bewitching beauty.

These two people were bought since childhood, raised as thin horses, light and graceful, plump/breast/thin/waist, looking at it makes people have an unbearable impulse, they should have become the playthings of the old man. As soon as he showed this charm, he was sold to the dance shop again because of the sin of that family. is already soft and tenacious, but after learning dance skills from the master in the dance workshop for half a year, he has practiced a good dance skill and has become the pillar of the dance workshop.

Chunhong and Qiutao stayed in the dance workshop for more than a year, and were finally bought back by Hao Lin from Hangzhou.

"These two should be fine!" Erph whispered, pointing to the portraits of the two of them, biting the tip of her pen with jealousy in her eyes.

It seems that this is true, but it should not be taken lightly.

After all, the two of them were so good, how could the owner of the dance workshop sell them so easily, and according to Hao Lin's account, he didn't mention the fourth master for a word, and he didn't even pay too much money. Ulanala flipped through the booklet in his hand, found the information recorded by Zhang Bao, and explained softly to Erfu's jealous little eyes.

"That's something wrong, but is the killer so pretty?" Erph muttered in disbelief, and then used a red pen to tick a big circle on the names of the two, indicating that he was the target of suspicion.

"Why can't this killer be good-looking. The Wulanala clan kept moving his hands, greeted Qixiang without raising his head, and said softly with a smile on the corner of his mouth, "Show your Guerjia master and let her open her eyes, what an uninformed guy!"

As he spoke, he pushed the arm of Dolf who was sketching a circle, and motioned to Dolf to hurry up and raise his head, don't miss this kind of good show that is not seen once in a century.

Erfu was a little confused and confused by the actions of the Ulanala clan, but she still followed the meaning of the Ulanala clan and raised her head.

I saw that Qi Xiang, who had been shrinking in the shadow of the floor cover, actually stood in the open space at the bottom of the main hall for the first time.

A blue-pink palace maid flag dress was worn on her, which looked very fitting and obedient, outlining the delicate curves of the woman, on the palm-sized goose egg face, there were no pores at all, the small cherry lips were slightly pursed, and under the eyebrows of the two curved willow leaves was a pair of dark and smart eyes like apricot kernels, which fused the woman's softness and the girl's playfulness just right.

"So she's so beautiful!" Erph never thought that Qixiang, who had been following the Ulanara clan like a shadow all day long, actually had such a heart-warming face, and exclaimed in surprise.

"It's nothing, keep looking!" Ulanala waved his hand indifferently as if he was used to seeing such a reaction, pointed at Qi Xiang, and said with a smile.

Erfu was puzzled again, and then looked at Qi Xiang, who had already moved, a soft sword that I didn't know where to draw, facing the milky white halo sprinkled by the palace lamp, flashing with a cold starlight, dancing in the hall like a swimming dragon.

The sound of breaking the air made Erfu clearly realize that Qixiang's dancing sword was definitely not low. It's not as good as those big-shouldered and round-waisted guard warriors, and he's definitely a good hand at using one as a five.

In the blink of an eye, the light gauze curtain embroidered with twig patterns shattered into rags. Qi Xiang stood there without even breathing, and there was still a light smile on the corner of her mouth, as if she didn't take it seriously at all, causing Erfu to show a deep envious look.

"This is ......" Erfu clapped her hands stupidly, and her feet were already unconsciously walking towards Qi Xiang's side, a pair of soft wattles like clotted fat touched Qi Xiang's body, and her mouth was still muttering with words. "Where to hide, where to hide......"

Qi Xiang's face was red when she was touched by Erfu's small hands. She didn't dare to resist, so she could only push back step by step, staring at the Ulanala clan with her eyes full of help, hoping that her master could relieve her.

"Alright, alright!" the Ulanara clan lived up to Qixiang's hopes. He beckoned to Erf. said with a smile, "She is the second generation of Qi Xiang, the first generation of Qi Xiang grew up with me, when I was learning to manage the family, she followed the master to learn martial arts, and later accompanied me to marry the elder brother, and then when she was older, the family found her for me."

This is even for you to see. Those who know martial arts are not all reckless men with thick arms and thick thighs. This is a real master, who is no different from an ordinary delicate woman on weekdays, but when he starts to move, he is no worse than a martial arts master!

You've read so many books, don't you know that those martial arts masters are good at all kinds of disguises, it's really a waste of time. In the end, the Ulanala clan teased Erfu a few more words, and raised his hand to let Qi Xiang return to her original position and stand, so as not to be uncomfortable in such bright light, which Qi Xiang was used to hiding in the shadows.

Qi Xiang returned to the shadow of the floor cover with a red face and stood up, looked at Erfu who had returned to normal with some fear, and said secretly: "This Guerjia Fujin is really a strange person, don't be like those women with special preferences that the master said, you have to stay away from her in the future." ”

Erfu didn't know that her previous gaffe had left a shadow in Qi Xiang's heart, and she was still blinking her watery eyes, paying attention to Qi Xiang's every move when she retracted into the corner, her eyes were hot as if she had seen a top jade, and suspicious liquid was already flowing from the corners of her mouth.

"Okay, you converge and converge, you are scared of Qi Xiang!" Wu Lan Nara followed Erfu's eyes, looked back, and just saw Qi Xiang shrinking into the shadows again, and also noticed Qi Xiang's little eyes that were a little afraid, smiled and pulled Erfu, and said softly, "Yaoqin next to you, compared to Qi Xiang, it is not bad at all, and she is also good at medical skills, I don't know where the master found such a treasure for you, even I look a little greedy!"

"Ah!?" Erph looked at her in disbelief, and Yaoqin, who was sitting under her and was sorting out the file book, asked suspiciously, "Are you also very good at kung fu? I don't know, what other secrets do you have that you haven't told me!"

Yaoqin smiled implicitly and said softly: "The slave does know some fist and foot kung fu. ”

Sure enough, it is a master in the folk.

Looking at Yaoqin, who looked as usual and did not see the slightest arrogance, Erfu simply had the feeling of seeing Qiao Feng and Duan Yu who were martial arts masters written by the old man Jin Yong, and regarded Yaoqin as the legendary master who would kill people by picking leaves and flying flowers, and I couldn't wait to knock her a few on the spot, just begging her to teach her a few tricks, so that she could have the ability to protect herself!

"Okay, okay, where do you want to go, hurry up and sort out these booklets, find out those suspicious people, and find out the hidden spies in the mansion!" Seeing Erf's strange smile again, the Ulanala clan felt a chill on his back, and hurriedly grabbed Erf's arm and shook it, reminding in a low voice.

Erf also realized that her brain was too big.

Not to mention that there are no peerless magic skills such as flying eaves and walking walls, fighting cattle across the mountains, etc., that is, they really exist, and it is definitely not something that can be practiced with a handful, and she is this age, if she is allowed to learn from squatting and stepping a little bit, she really doesn't have that perseverance, so she still has to be a rice worm in a down-to-earth manner, if there is hope, she will defend herself from the fourth master's fire gun, this is the right way.

Erfu, who was at ease, no longer paid attention to Yaoqin and Qixiang, and continued to bow her head and flip through the booklets, according to the booklet sorted out by Zhang Bao, she concentrated on finding suspicious palace maids and servants, and even the stewards and Chang Sui around the fourth master of the outer courtyard did not pull down.

......

"The hour is getting late. I don't know how long it took, but the Ulanala clan spoke, breaking the calm of the upper room of the main courtyard, rubbing his stiff shoulders and neck, and speaking loudly.

Hearing this, Erfu looked up in confusion, glanced at a small Western table clock on the Bogu shelf, and saw that the watch hands had already pointed to the position of three o'clock in the morning.

A bright moon hanging high in the sky fell on the treetops, obviously it was not early.

"Didn't you go into the backyard today?" Erph also followed the example of the Ulanara clan, and asked with some confusion as she squeezed her stiff shoulders. I don't know who I'm asking, after all, these people in the hall have been here since they sent those guests away, and they haven't left, and even the strong tea and ice veils they used to refresh themselves were sent by the palace maids spontaneously and automatically, and no one has ever said a word or asked a question from beginning to end.

It's already early in the morning, even if you are holding a pair of cards, these people in the back house can't pass the weeping flower door, if you want to know the situation in the front yard, only Zhang Bao, who has a strange status in the house, can do it, so the Wulanala clan is not polite, raised his head and pinched his eyebrows, and commanded loudly: "Zhang Bao, you go to the front to see!"

"Then the slave will retire first!" Zhang Bao didn't refuse, after all, his status is special, and he can't go against a master like the Wulanala clan, not to mention that he is also worried about the situation in front of him, according to the fourth master, he will definitely not rest in front of the unruly today, refute the face of the Wulanala clan, and rest in the front yard alone.

Thinking of this, Zhang Bao's heart became anxious, and he arched his hand and walked out.

"Don't pretend to work hard. The Wulanala clan also knew that the fourth master would come to her yard to stay overnight on the first and fifteenth days of the new year, but he didn't know the movements in front as well as Zhang Bao, so he didn't have too much heart, and collapsed on the backrest and armrests of the Taishi chair as if the power had been cut off.

Qi Xiang went to the small kitchen at the back and took a look, and brought me and your Guerjia master a bowl of hot Lantern Festival, and you can take care of the rest!"

Qi Xiang hurriedly answered, and went directly to the small kitchen in the northwest corner through the back door.

There was a fire left in the stove in the small kitchen to warm the water on the stove, but the few masters who were waiting on the stove had already gone back to rest, Qi Xiang hesitated slightly, and then dispelled the idea of going to the back room to wake them up.

I saw her move swiftly from under the long workbench by the window, found a basket of half-frozen Lantern Festival, and found a few pieces of sauce beef and other cold vegetable materials from the cabinet, three times five divided by two to make four plates of fragrant and delicious side dishes, the Lantern Festival cooked on the stove over there also out of the pot, packed in the blue and white porcelain bowl, and placed it firmly in the food box with charcoal insulation, and walked to the upper room.

"Bang!" thought to Na Cheng, as soon as she walked to the back door, a muffled sound came out.
