The Regent's Sweetheart

Chapter 308 I dug a hole and buried it

Xuemei touched her face, looked at Little Niqiu with a smile, her big eyes flickered, and asked, "Am I really pretty?"

"Well, it looks good." Little Loach nodded very seriously.

Now Xuemei doesn't complain about what happened just now, she used to quarrel with other girls and was told that she might not be able to marry if she looks like this.

Whenever she asked the empress if she was good-looking, the empress would always say she was good-looking perfunctorily, and as time passed, she lost all confidence.

There was no delay, the two disguised themselves a little, and then went to Lianhua Alley, Xuemei reminded as they walked, "In this case, you are my younger brother, and we are here to find relatives."

"I'm older than you, right?" Little Loach retorted.

Xuemei cut it disdainfully, and said, "Cut! How old are you?"

Thin and thin, these two days are a little better than before.

Seeing Xuemei's disgusted look, Little Niqiu was taken aback for a moment, and he didn't know what to think of, and said quite dissatisfied: "I..."

After hesitant to speak, he said: "I must be older than you."

Noisily all the way to Lianhua Alley, Xuemei searched according to the address Lin Jiaojiao said, and the gate of the original small courtyard has been pasted with a couplet, which doesn't look very old, presumably someone has already lived there.

Little Loach knocked on the door first, and after a short while, the door was opened. The person who opened the door was a middle-aged woman with a gray cloth scarf on her head, looking at two people who were busy with the travels with their bags on their backs.

Asked: "The two are?"

"Excuse me, is this Lin Sen's family?" Little Loach asked.

"Lin Sen?" The woman looked puzzled, apparently not knowing.

Little Niqiu smiled and said, "Lin Sen is my uncle, you must be my aunt, but I don't recognize him."

The woman hurriedly waved her hands and said, "You are mistaken. I don't know Lin Sen, and I am not your aunt. Your child, my aunt can still make a mistake."

"Ah?" Little Loach continued, "My parents said before they died that my aunt's family lived here."

The woman was patient and said, "Impossible. My family moved here more than ten years ago. How could this be your aunt's house?"

"Then do you know which family lived here?"

"How do I know this? When we came here, we bought the house from the government."

After asking the woman, the two looked at each other.

After the gate closed, Xuemei said: "She said that she moved here more than ten years ago, and my mother said that the Lin family lived here 15 years ago and lived here for two years."

Little Loach nodded, and the time was estimated to be more than ten years, so he said: "Go, ask the neighbors in the neighborhood."

"it is good."

There is a grocery store next to it, and a middle-aged man is sitting in it and flicking his abacus, as if he is trying to settle accounts.

After the two walked in, the man raised his head to look at the two, then lowered his head again and asked, "You two can buy something and take it yourself."

"We don't buy anything, we want to ask you about someone, uncle."

After they explained why they came to Lianhua Alley, the man looked at them, and after thinking about it for a while, he said: "13 years ago, there was a scholar named Lin Sen who lived next door with his wife and children, but he has not lived here for a long time. .”

"Then do you know where they are going?" Xuemei asked quickly.

The man glanced at Xuemei, hesitated to speak, and then said: "If you want to find your aunt, I can take you there. I don't know where your uncle is."

"My aunt is still here?" Little Niqiu asked, as if he really came to find relatives.

"Yeah." The man nodded, and continued, "I was the one who dug the hole and buried it."
