Chapter 21: Cover Your Eyes and Eyes

Qin Yanhong kept glanced at the direction of the door, and others were talking to him, and he was absent-minded in answering.

It was already time for the lunch break, and Sun Miao took a book to count the number of people. If Shun Yu didn't come again, he would be punished again.

Why didn't you come? Or did you meet Zhou Hai too late, so you just went there together? Zhou Hai is not a good man, I am afraid that my cousin will suffer a loss. When he comes, he has to mention something.

Yan Hong thought in a mess that he had long discarded the profit-making thoughts that had previously matched them.

Just as he was about to call Qin Gui to urge him, Sun Miao heard Sun Miao call Shunyu's name and shouted twice without permission, and his eyes swept around.

"Wait for a while, he will go out and get back in a moment." Yan Hong responded with his throat.

"Who hasn't come?" Zhao Huanan came in from outside cleverly, and after hearing a sound, his face changed.

"............................... Yan Hong knew that something was wrong. He turned his head and looked. He saw Shun Yu flashing through the back door. Except for the mud stains on his robe, there was nothing unusual when he left.

He even smiled at him when he sat down, very calm.

Yan Hong also smiled, and Fang's heart, which had nowhere to rest, fell back to its original place.

...........

The Hanlin Academy sent someone to Qin Mansion to report the letter, and Shunyu entered the Imperial College for the Grand Examination to be held on April 1st and April 2nd.

Liu immediately ordered the servants of Xuanji Academy not to make noise or gather gambling to cause trouble. They must walk lightly and whisper silently when passing through the west wing.

Qin Yanzhao never saw him again after getting drunk and losing his composure in front of Shunyu. In addition, he was the new chief of the Weaver Bureau, including officials who should flatter and colleagues who should be with him, and he was busy with his own future inside and outside.

The courtyard is extremely quiet.

Shunyu liked this quietness, so he simply stopped going to the charity school. Apart from sleeping and eating, he only studied in the room and practiced eight-legged essays.

When I was tired, I looked out of the window and saw that the spring scenery in the garden was very vivid, with willows hanging over green, peach cherry blossoms and elixirs flying by, and sometimes yellow orioles flew by.

At noon that day, she was concentrating on copying the calligraphy. The girl reported that the Fourth Master had arrived and she had just finished speaking. But when she heard the sound of footsteps, Yan Hong walked in, with a very solemn face. She asked, "Do you know something happened to Zhou Hai?"

Shunyu calmly put down his pen, pointed to the chair and asked to sit, and joked: "I am really deaf about the matter outside the window to prepare for the exam, and I only read the books of sages. If I don't leave the door and don't step in the two doors, how could I know what happened to him? Could it be that I like the little actor you like?"

"It's better!" Yan Hong sat down in a depressed mood, picked up the tea bowl and said, "This day, Zhou Hai's father brought a group of yamen runners to enclose the ancestral home of the charity school. The school stopped, and he said that there was something strange inside. I asked Wei Xun privately, after Zhou Hai met you in the charity school, he fell ill when he went back. He thought that his old illness was caused by another disease, but he didn't expect that at night, his body was shaking, his limbs were even colder, and he talked nonsense. Now he is becoming more and more unrecognizable. He only said that it was the fifth girl of the Tian family who took his life. The emperor was kind-hearted and sent someone from the Imperial Hospital to treat him. He couldn't tell what it was."

He looked at Shunyu and asked hesitantly: "There is something strange about him in the garden that day? I am afraid that the people from the Ministry of Justice will ask you for an inquiry, and prepare your words in advance so that you won't be able to panic and get what handle they can catch."

Shunyu stopped laughing and whispered: "You must have heard of the rumors about Houyuanzi. There was a hanged wronged woman, it turned out to be true."

Seeing Yan Hong's face change suddenly, she continued, "It was raining that day, Zhou Hai wanted to talk to me, and sent the guards to wait at the entrance of the garden. After a few words, Long Yang's revival was aroused. I refused and returned the jade ring to him. Just then, a woman with disheveled hair floated by, climbed up the rocks, tied a button on the plum tree with white silk and hung it on it. Zhou Hai fell to the ground somehow. The guard rushed over and looked at the woman again, but there was no one."

"Zhou Hai has always been fearless..." Yan Hong looked at him: "Aren't you afraid?"

Shunyu sneered: "I never do anything wrong in my life, why not be afraid of knocking on the door in the middle of the night!" Then he held the pen and wrote seriously.

The bright light outside the window shone through the swaying trees and shot in through the cracks of the lilac gauze window. Dust was flying around her like a worm. The room was gray and quiet, and Yan Hong felt a chill all over her body.

He couldn't sit still, stood up and wanted to leave, and then turned around and said vaguely, "If the Ministry of Justice asks you for an inquiry, the female ghost will just take it over and say it in detail. If you say it carefully, I'm afraid that I will come to investigate the old case again."

Shun Yu's head agreed, and he left with confidence.

At 10:00 in the evening, Qin Zhong sent a servant around him to invite him. Shunyu secretly wondered why and went forward slowly.

After passing the arch, five or six maids stood under the eaves outside the study. When he saw him coming, a few of them blushed and smiled, while some were busy coming in to report. After a while, the maid raised the curtain, and a concubine came out of it, smiled and bowed, and took the crowd away.

Shunyu then went in. Qin Zhong stood in front of the desk, pounding the black medicinal materials with a copper pestle and a mortar. The room was covered with fishy and bitter taste, and rushed straight to his breath.

The box with the name of the golden-painted flower stream grass was taken off from the large cabinet and placed on the table. She glanced at it, then opened her sight, and went forward to bow and greet her.

Qin Zhong stopped then, wiped his hands with a square towel, walked to the chair in front of the window and sat down, and looked at her deeply for a while.

After a while, he said, "I will take the imperial doctor in the Imperial Hospital to see Zhou Hai, the son of Master Zhou of the Ministry of Justice. I saw him wearing the jade ring. After diagnosis and treatment, it was poisoned by Huaxi Grass. According to the symptoms, the poisoning was very deep. I was afraid that I would not live for five days. Fortunately, Huaxi Grass has long disappeared, and the imperial doctor was unable to make a conclusion, so I dared to return to the world."

"Shunyu, once you have done this, can you tell me what kind of disaster will it bring to the Qin Mansion?" He strengthened his tone.

Shunyu knelt down and raised his face to look at him: "Uncle Qin, don't worry, if this plan brings some danger to the Qin Mansion, I will never dare. Zhou Hai is a playboy in the official family, and it is really a favor for Longyang. The emperor is now jealous of this, and he has just given up a few officials in the capital. Zhou Chen is afraid that the people will be deprived of it, so he can only search the charity school, and he must not find out why.

"Come on that Houyuanzi has a wronged soul. Zhou Hai's words can prove that the fifth sister came to seek his life. They have a ghost in their hearts and cannot find out the evidence. They will lead to the ghost and monster's power. As for the jade ring, it was Zhou Chen and his son who searched the Tian family for embezzlement. How dare they make a statement? There are many shameful things. Even if Zhou Hai dies, this is a headless case."

Qin Zhong silenced for a long time and sighed: "You are still a little simpler. There are difficulties in survival in the court, and my heart is inevitably very strange. Even if Zhou Chen wants to calm down, others may not be willing to let go. Naturally, you will be in a whirlpool and cannot extricate yourself. Have you ever thought about it?"

Shunyu said lightly: "I thought about it! Because of this, Zhou Chen dared not cause trouble."

Qin Zhong was speechless, watching her become more and more stunned. This girl was obviously a tender face. If her eyes were filled with water, she would have lost her bottom.
