Chapter 117: Pretty mixed
Chapter 117 Learning is quite complicated
Before the sky darkened, Xu Mingyi and Wu Chao met again at Xuesheng Teahouse.
There were a few guests in plain clothes having tea in the hall. Seeing the two of them coming in, they couldn’t help but take a few more glances.
They have ordinary identities and do not recognize the identity of the two.
Seeing the two went up to the second floor, several people whispered a few words.
"Hey, isn't it the one who came here for a private meeting..."
Their voices were extremely low, but they also passed into Wu Chao's ears.
Being misunderstood in this way, the teenager didn't feel so angry, but subconsciously paid attention to the reaction of the girl around him.
saw her face calm, as if she hadn't heard it at all.
At this time, there was another voice coming from downstairs.
"How can it be a private meeting? It is really a private meeting, how could it be possible to walk in together so swaggeringly, not afraid of being scrutinized at all-in my opinion, the two are close brothers and sisters!"
"Yes, I look alike, I look pretty good, I must be a mother..."
Wu Chao's expression stiffened for a moment.
He and Miss Xu look like brothers and sisters?
What are the eyes of these people?
But why is Miss Xu still smiling?
Looking at the girl's uncontrollable appearance, Wu Chao couldn't help but pull the corner of his mouth.
Well, he thought about it, it seemed a bit funny.
The two did not sit on the second floor as usual, but went to the inner courtyard behind the lobby from another staircase leading to the backyard.
As for why I didn’t pass through the front hall directly, it was because I didn’t want the tea guests to notice the strangeness.
"Young Master——"
A middle-aged man in a gray-cyan gown walked out of the inner hall and greeted him.
Wu Chao nodded slightly: "Mr. Mo."
This is the shopkeeper on the face of Xuesheng Teahouse and his grandfather’s confidant. He was sent to the capital about seven or eight years ago to take charge of the inside and outside of Xuesheng Teahouse.
can also be regarded as his childhood chess enlightenment teacher.
Seeing Xu Mingyi's salute to himself, Mr. Mo hurriedly paid it back.
The young man told the girl the secret of the teahouse. He already knew about it. He couldn't be more clear about the identity of this girl.
Although Xu and Wu's two families are not in harmony, how illegal it is may be a little different from what outsiders know.
Yes, he didn't have a split opinion on the granddaughter of Old General Xu.
"Mr. Laomo helped me fetch something-the map of the house in Xia Tingzhen's house." Wu Chao sat down in the hall and explained his intention directly.
"Yes, please let the son and Miss Xu sit down for a while."
Mr. Mo saluted and retired, and took two men down into the inner secret room.
After Half a stick of incense, he just turned back, holding a slightly thicker scroll in his hand.
"My son, please have a look."
Wu Chao took it and unfolded in front of him.
Xu Mingyi tilted his head slightly, looking at the fineness of the drawing on the scroll, and guessing how it would take months to complete the drawing from verification to drawing.
And she suddenly thought of something.
A picture of a house like this, in the secret room of Xuesheng Tea House, I’m afraid there is also a copy of their town’s government office, right?
But these things are inevitable.
"This should be Xia Han's residence." The young man's slender and beautiful finger points to a residence on the scroll.
Xu Mingyi nodded.
Looking at it for a moment, he couldn’t help but say: “How does this place seem to have been modified?”
Mr. Mo came over when he heard the words, took a look, and smiled with appreciation: "Miss Xu is really careful, and I have indeed made some changes here——"
It's just that they didn't overthrow the repainting, but chose to make additions and changes on the original basis. They also took great care when covering up. It is said that they would not be easily noticed by others.
Old General Xu had a granddaughter who was attentive and attentive, which was really unexpected.
"I remember this revision was made about two or three years ago. At that time, after the parents of the second son of the Xia family were set up, they opened up a nearby courtyard and merged the two courtyards into one. A small half was built into a garden. "Mr. Mo recalled.
Xu Mingyi's heart is slightly shaken.
"Two or three years ago?"
Xu Su disappeared three years ago, and Lu married into the Xia family two years ago——
In this way, the expansion and reform of Xia Han’s residence was in the middle of these two things...
She had only heard from her grandfather the day before yesterday, and her grandfather had tentatively checked and found out that Xia Tingzhen didn't know much about Xia Han's secret actions, so she rescued Xu Ying from the other hospital that day and it went so smoothly.
In other words, Xia Han kept everyone from the beginning, including his father.
If Xu Su’s bones are really in the Xia’s family, if Xia Tingzhen is not disturbed, he will invite a Taoist priest to cast a spell at the door, then he needs a name that is not suspicious as a cover-
The expansion of the house is an opportunity!
Xu Su’s body, nine out of ten, was quietly placed by Xia Han at that time...
So, the bones are most likely in Xia Han's courtyard!
Xu Mingyi returned his sight to the house.
The purpose of drawing the house courtyard map is, after all, to understand the location of various courtyards. This map is accurate to every bedroom, study, and even ice cellar water wells, which is very rare.
But if you want to take this look at the array layout, it’s obviously not enough.
At first, she had listened to what Mr. Yao had said and said to Wu Chao. At this time, Wu Chao saw through what she was thinking. Before she could speak, she said to Mr. Mo: "It needs to be more refined. You can put Xia Han in the courtyard. Every plant and tree are drawn clearly—is there anyone in the building who is good at hiding and drawing?"
If there hadn’t been that treacherous change on the way to Beijing, and if Sui Shan was still there, he should have done this errand.
Mr. Mo thought for a while, and said: "Xiao Qi is suitable."
Wu Chao's expression is slightly stagnant.
Why do you think that wherever there are Xu girls, you will always hear the name Xiaoqi?
And how can he be prominent everywhere?
"Little Qi is good at painting?" He questioned.
is obviously from a dark guard, and he has a rather complicated learning.
Mr. Mo smiled and explained: "The son doesn't know something, Xiao Qi was adopted in this teahouse since he was a child before he was incorporated into the dark guard. Because he has a lot of talent in painting, he is also hardworking. He is studious. He has also been responsible for drawing pictures and texts in the building before, and he has done very well every time. The picture in the hands of the son was originally painted by Xiaoqi and his subordinates.
Wu Chao glanced at the scroll in his hand, but felt that he didn't want to listen anymore.
Seeing that Mr. Mo seemed to have to boast, he hurriedly said in front: "...then him."
Yu Guangde saw that Xu Mingyi re-examined the picture in his hand. The boy rolled up the thing blankly and handed it back to Mr. Mo.
confessed: “You don’t have to mention this matter with your father.”
Mr. Mo smiled knowingly.
This is not necessary for the son to confess.
You don’t need to talk to the world about anything related to Miss Xu—he understands.
When the two left the teahouse together, the sky was already dark.
There is no trace of sunset clouds to the west, but a layer of gray clouds are faintly piled up.
……
"Second Lord, the second youngest grandmother came back from Lu Mansion today, but she suddenly suffered from abdominal pain. The doctor came to see it and said it was frightened by the bumps..."
Xia Han came back from the Hanlin Academy, and as soon as he entered the house, he heard news from his confidant that made him feel bad.
Thank you for your reward and monthly pass.
