Chapter 59 Peeping
He Qingxiao turned around upon hearing this, and looked over with a calm expression.

Xin You stepped closer and lowered her voice: "Master He, I see that your seal is blackened, and you may be bloody..."

He Qingxiao: "..."

"Master He?" Sensing that He Qingxiao was distracted, Xin You called out.

He Qingxiao came back to his senses, put his fist on his lips and coughed, and found an excuse at random: "Sorry, I suddenly thought of a case. What did Miss Kou just say?"

"I said Mr. He is afraid of a bloodbath, and you should pay attention to the perpetrators when handling the case." Xin You said seriously.

In the scene just now, she saw He Qingxiao go down with his hands to arrest someone. The arrested person suddenly pulled out a dagger from his sleeve and stabbed him in the abdomen.

Blood splashed out immediately.

Xin You looked at the man who was as tall as a pine tree in front of her, and shook her head slightly.

Ordinarily, to be able to sit in the position of Jinlinwei Zhenfu, the martial arts must be passable, and Mr. Ma He's reaction to the surprise that day was also good, but why doesn't he look very smart every time in the picture?
But there are always times when people are careless.

Xin You found the reason.

Looking at the girl with a serious expression, He Qingxiao was in a delicate mood.

With that reminder first, he didn't doubt Miss Kou's words, but if Miss Kou is so proficient in physiognomy, I'm afraid he will hear the words "Master He may be bloody" from time to time in the future.

He Qingxiao discovered that his luck was a little bit off since he was a child, and various unexpected situations emerged one after another. Fortunately, after practicing martial arts, he reacted flexibly and his mentality was tempered. It is rare that there are bloody things again, and others do not notice him. extremely unlucky.

He Qingxiao sorted out her delicate mood, and thanked her quietly: "Thank you Miss Kou for reminding me, I will be careful."

"Master He, go slowly."

After sending He Qingxiao away, Xin You also walked out of the bookstore.

The evening in the capital is very lively, which is the time for teahouses and restaurants to receive guests.

Xinyou walked through the streets and alleys and came to Jixiangfang.

Ji Cailan and Zhou Ningyue are cousins, and Ji Cailan's mother is Zhou Ningyue's father's sister.After Zhou's father was transferred to the capital, he rented a house in Jixiangfang because of his sister.

Ji and Zhou are both in Jixiangfang, and Xinyou came here because of Zhou Ningyue.

She wanted to see what Zhou Ningyue looked like.

Smoke was raised from every house, and the aroma of food wafted in the wind, and shouts calling children to go home for dinner sounded from time to time.

Xinyou looked around and found a big tree.

The trunk of the tree is straight and smooth, and the crown grows only two feet away from the ground.Such a tree almost eliminated the possibility of ordinary people climbing up, but fortunately, it was not a big problem for Xinyou.

Xinyou quietly climbed up the tree, under the cover of lush branches and leaves, looked down at a residential house.

This is a one-entry house, with a main room, an inverted room, and east and west wing rooms. It can be inferred that the Zhou family is a medium-sized family with a simple population.

In the courtyard, there are people dressed as maids collecting clothes, smoke is rising from the kitchen, and a cat can be seen lying lazily on the steps.

Xin You watched patiently.

Xu was lucky. After waiting for a while, he suddenly heard a voice.

"amber--"

The cat on the steps moved, then continued to lie on its stomach.

Not long after, a young girl walked out from the west wing, and went straight to the steps outside the main room.

"You shouldn't even call you, you're too lazy to die." The girl bent down and picked up the cat, rubbed the cat's head in dissatisfaction, turned and walked to the west wing.

Xin You was condescending, and finally saw the girl's appearance clearly.

Round face, almond eyes, skin like snow, just by walking, you can't tell that your legs and feet are inconvenient.

Could this be Zhou Ningyue?
Xinyou thinks it should be.

Suddenly there was a knock on the door, and the girl holding the cat stopped and looked towards the courtyard door.

Soon a girl carrying a basket walked in through the screen door, it was Ji Cailan.

"Cousin is here." Seeing Ji Cailan, the girl smiled.

Ji Cailan lifted the basket in her hand: "My mother made some sweet-scented osmanthus cakes, let me deliver them."

The tree where Xinyou hid was not close to the wall of Zhou's courtyard, and there was even a distance, but it was a very tall tree, standing high and looking far. The face girl is undoubtedly Zhou Ningyue.

"Cousin, have you finished reading "Painted Skin"? Is it good?"

Zhou Ningyue nodded: "Looks good, my cousin can buy me a copy and bring it back, I can read it from time to time."

"My cousin likes it so much, I'll go shopping with you. Let me tell you, Qingsong Bookstore has changed owners. She's a girl about our age. She's a nice person..."

Zhou Ningyue seemed a little moved, but shook her head: "I still can't, it's so troublesome to go out."

"Cousin, go, go, your legs are healed, you can't stay out forever."

"I always feel uncomfortable walking."

"That's your illusion. It's settled, I'll come to you tomorrow, let's go to Qingsong Bookstore together..."

Xin You watched the two cousins ​​enter the main room, and the courtyard became quiet.

Ji Cailan seemed to be left behind for dinner, and it took a while before she came out of the main room, and was sent to the gate of the courtyard by Zhou Ningyue.

It was dark, and mosquitoes were flying around. Xinyou waited for a while and saw no more movement, took advantage of the darkness to cover the tree, and went back to Qingsong Bookstore.

The bookstore was already closed, and Xin You went directly into the east courtyard through the corner door, and saw Xiao Lian walking back and forth.

"Girl, you're back!" Seeing Xinyou, Xiao Lian's eyes burst out with joy.

"Is something wrong at home?"

"It's all right. Even though it's getting dark and you haven't come back yet, the servant girl is a little worried."

When she was serving Xinyou to take a bath, she saw the red envelopes from mosquito bites on her body, and Xiao Lian couldn't help but muttered, "Where have you been, why are you biting all those envelopes?"

"Just put on the swelling-reducing ointment later." Xin You was in a good mood as soon as she could see Zhou Ningyue tomorrow.

A girl from out of town had a storybook sold in the capital, and she guessed at that time that this girl loved reading storybooks.

What is certain is that this girl came to Beijing with her family, so when a bookstore sells books, it is very popular, and it is very likely that this girl will come to buy books.Even if I didn't come to buy "Painted Skin", sooner or later I would come to buy something else.

For Xinyou, naturally, the sooner she finds this girl, the better.The fact that Zhou Ningyue surfaced made her feel that luck was not that bad.

For the first time, Xinyou fell asleep anxiously, looking forward to tomorrow's arrival.

The next morning, Xin You went to Qiantou Bookstore.

Liu Zhou and Shitou were still wiping the table and sweeping the floor, so they were a little surprised to see Xin You coming.

"My boss is so early today."

"Nothing else, let's see if there are too many guests."

"Then you came early, why don't you come here for more than half an hour." Although Liu Zhou said this, he was in a happy mood.

The business is really good recently. If it was changed before, there might not be any customers coming to the door in the afternoon.

"Really?" Xin You turned her eyes to the door.

Liu Zhou looked at He Qingxiao who walked in early in the morning, and then at Xinyou, and the fire of gossip was ignited.

Could it be that the boss and Mr. He have made an appointment!
