Chapter 63 The incense next door
Hua Jingyao didn't say anything and turned around to the yard: "I remember what you found was that this one of the entire Xianghuo Huo Tong is the only one with a single courtyard, and the rest of the family are all large courtyards, right?"
Shi Yi hurriedly said: "Yes, the girl remembers that it's right. The landlord's family lives in the next yard now."
"Well, what about here? Have you asked?" Hua Jingyao asked, pointing to the wall to the west.
Shi Yi said: "I asked, all the people who live in rent houses. It's a coincidence that the landlord of the house was named Hao. He was originally a son from Qian Shilang's mansion of the Ministry of Works. A few years ago, the Qian family mistook their family and released their family. Although they are still working in the Qian family, they are no longer slaves. This yard belongs to the Hao family. The Hao family has another residence in the Qian family, so they took out the house for rent to earn some extra money."
"The Minister of Works of the Ministry of Works is the unhappy Qian Buhen?" Hua Jingyao couldn't help but bent her eyes. Speaking of the relegation of the Qingyuan Mansion, it was thanks to the Censor of the Qian family's money-fighting for money.
Shi Yi smiled: "The girl has a good memory, she is the Minister of Qian Buqian."
"Although Mr. Qian is unhappy all day long, he looks good to the servants in the mansion." Hua Jingyao said sincerely.
"Yes, the Qian family is the blood of Princess Roukang. His ancestors have produced the top scholar. His foundation and demeanor are all first-class, but that temper..." Shi Yi smiled and stopped saying anything. Some words were not something he could say.
"I have a weird temper, right? I heard people say that those generals guarding the border would be polite when they see the Qian family, which is true?" This is what she heard in the palace in her previous life. Zhao Qian looked at the Qian family more tightly than his eyes. If the Qian family wanted to let it go, he would never agree.
"It's true. Our firearms and artillery camps in Dazhou were all built by Princess Roukang." Shi Yi said.
"It's a pity that I've been born many years late and I haven't seen Princess Roukang, who is a genius. By the way, you just heard that this house has something to do with the Qian family, so you didn't go in to check it out, right?" Hua Jingyao turned her tone and looked at Shi Yi with a bright look.
Shi Yi was embarrassed on the face. The girl was right. He did think so. Most people in the capital would think so. The three thorns in the Qian family... Not to mention it, you can tell by looking at the nearest Qingyuan Mansion.
"Girl, the door of the house is locked, and all the people living inside have gone out, so there is no young one..." Shi Yi said.
"You follow me in the future and learn to use your eyes and mind in everything. Like this time, I asked you to inquire about Xianghuo Hutong. There is a house that is related to the whole family. But you didn't tell me until now that I don't ask, would you not say it? Or do you think this is an irrelevant thing and cannot be called a clue, right?" Hua Jingyao said.
A layer of sweat came out of Shi Yi's forehead and he hurriedly knelt down: "The girl taught her a lesson that she was really negligent and thought she was self-righteous."
"Well, you don't have any experience yet. I don't blame you this time, but don't blame you for this. If you do something again next time, you don't have to follow me and go back to the mansion to guard the house." Hua Jingyao was not polite at all. Some things cannot be tolerated. If you tolerate them once, there will be the next time. A, B, C and D must grow up as soon as possible, and become her right-hand man like in her previous life.
"What the girl taught me is!" Shi Yi wanted to slap himself. This time he was not only self-righteous, but also self-righteous.
"I said I won't blame you this time. Get up, we still have some serious things to do." Hua Jingyao said.
"Please give me instructions." Shi Yi stood up and stood with his hands down.
"We'll go to the yard to check now. I'm talking about us, I, Xiaoli, have to go over." Hua Jingyao looked at Shi Ding, who was standing by the silly, "You are responsible for washing out all the water in this big water tank."
Shi Ding hasn't figured out why the second brother was taught a lesson by the girl, but what the girl said must be right, but the second brother did it wrong.
"Does the girl suspect that the body is hidden in the water tank? I just jump in and take a look, and there is no need to wash out all the water." Shi Ding said as she rolled up her sleeves and rolled up her trousers' legs.
Hua Jingyao glanced at the dirty water and laughed: "In this hot day, the body was hidden below for three days. The smell had already come out. Do you think you can escape Xiaoli's nose? Clean the water and I want to see this jar."
"Okay!" Shi Ding said loudly.
But Xiaoli had already run under the western wall and patted her shoulder: "Sister, I'll carry you up."
Hua Jingyao pointed at him and asked in confusion: "This wall is so high, can you carry me up?"
She originally wanted Shi Yi and the others to go up first, put down a rope, and pull herself up.
"I can!" Xiaoli said proudly. He would not fall to his sister, and he would not.
"Girl, don't worry, this kid is very tough." As soon as he said that, Shi Yi regretted it. The girl is already twelve years old. Although Xiaoli thought she was only three years old, he was still fifteen or sixteen. Is this OK?
"Okay, come on!" Hua Jingyao pressed Xiaoli's shoulder without hesitation.
Shi Yi quickly reached out and wanted to help Xiaoli, but Xiaoli had already climbed up to the wall, like a raccoon cat, jumped into the next yard in a blink of an eye.
This yard is much larger than the one just now, and it is quite particular. The paint on the doors and windows is very new, and the windows of the main room and the east wing are open. The smell of Buddha smells as soon as you enter the yard floats out of the windows of these two houses.
Many people think that the Buddha fragrance will only smell after it is ignited, but many Buddha fragrances accumulate in one place, and they will also taste even if they are not ignited.
Both families should have taken out incense at Guangji Temple. They store a lot of incense and candles at home, and the windows are opened to ventilate and relieve the smell.
However, the doors and windows of the west wing were closed, and the doors were not placed in wooden barrels, basins, brooms and dustpans like the other two houses, but were clean and not like people living there.
Hua Jingyao walked over, pulled out a very thin hairpin from her head, and poked a drum in the keyhole. Shi Yi was startled, and his voice turned around and carried a small water vortex: "Girl, you are..."
Before he could finish his words, he heard a click and the lock on the Xixiang door opened.
Hua Jingyao turned her head and comforted him, "If you want to learn, I can teach you, but you can't teach your subordinates."
Just kidding, if the guards of the Princess' Mansion learn to slip through the door and pick the locks... Forget it, don't think about it.
Shi Yi no longer knew whether to nod or shake his head.
Hua Jingyao pushed open the door and raised her legs to walk in. Before she could step into the threshold, she shrank back.
The sunlight spreads in, and everything in the outside of the room is clear at a glance.
There is very dust on the ground and footprints that can be seen with the naked eye.
This room hasn't been inhabited for a long time, but the footprints are not covered with dust, so it's still new.
