Ci Jinzhi

Chapter 75 Wrong
Zhou Ningyue didn't think too much about it, and said with a smile: "I know. Father doesn't believe this, if he hears about it, he will definitely punish me."

"Yes, men don't really believe this." Instructing her good daughter, Zhou's mother looked tired, "Mother, sleep for a while, you can go back to your room to sleep."

Zhou Ningyue left, and the room became quiet, but Zhou's mother tossed and turned without feeling sleepy.

On the way back to the bookstore, Xinyou and Ji Cailan walked together for a while, quietly inquiring: "Sister Zhou's family just came from other places, will their Mid-Autumn Festival be different from the local customs?"

Ji Cailan immediately came to chat: "I heard from my cousin that there are some differences between the north and the south. The mooncakes they eat in the south are filled with meat."

Speaking of this, Ji Cailan couldn't help showing disgust on her face.

Mooncakes are obviously made of bean paste, jujube paste, and five kernels. Meat mooncakes are simply crooked!

"Meat mooncakes?" Xin You cooperated with a strange look.

Seeing her like this, Ji Cailan seemed to have found a bosom friend: "Isn't it strange?"

Xin You nodded: "It is indeed different from what we are used to."

"It's more than that! Cousin and the others not only eat meat-filled mooncakes in the south, but also salty rice dumplings, and salty spring rolls, but they eat tofu nao with sugar! Sister Kou, can you imagine sweet tofu nao?"

Xinyou shook her head in a good manner: "It's unimaginable."

In fact, not only can she imagine it, but she also eats it deliciously.

Of course, whatever Aunt Xia cooks is delicious, from all over the world, frying, frying and frying.So she is used to both sweet and salty foods.

"Then wait for the Mid-Autumn Festival, is sister Zhou used to eating sweet mooncakes?"

"In the early years, my uncle and the others were in the capital, so they must be able to eat them, but these years they are used to eating salty mooncakes, and mooncakes with meat are better. Two days ago, I told my cousin that there is a dim sum shop not far from Jixiangfang. Every Mid-Autumn Festival In a few days, not only common mooncakes, but also meat mooncakes are sold. My cousin said that she would buy some back at that time, and she didn’t let me mention it to my aunt and them, saying that it was a surprise for them.”

Xinyou can't wait to give Ji Cailan a hug.

How can there be such a caring girl?

She showed surprise on her face: "Are there meat mooncakes sold in Beijing?"

"Yes, that dim sum shop is called Wuxiangzhai. It didn't sell meat mooncakes at first. It is said that the wife of the Shaodong family is from the south, and later they sold meat mooncakes. The business is actually good, and most of the customers are from the south."

Ji Cailan's disgusted look when she mentioned "business is good" was so obvious that Xinyou curled her lips.

When they stood at the intersection and said goodbye, Ji Cailan held Xinyou's hand reluctantly: "Sister Kou, have you been at the bookstore all this time? I'll go play with you later."

"I'm usually here when it's not a year or festival. Sister Ji can find me anytime."

Back at the bookstore, Xinyou told Nanny Fang: "There is a pastry shop called Wuxiangzhai near Jixiangfang. Nanny, go and find out the exact location."

With the name of the shop and the approximate location, it sounded very easy to call, and it didn't take long for Mother Fang to report the information she had found to Xin You.

"The shop is two streets away from Ji Xiang Fang. It's open on the side of the road. The business is booming. When the dim sum is sold out in the afternoon, it closes early..."

Nanny Fang's words also verified Xin You's deduction that the murder happened in the morning.

That night, Xinyou didn't sleep well, thinking over and over again about her actions on the Mid-Autumn Festival.

She probably figured out the layout of Zhou's house. She went to see Zhou's mother today in the east room, and the layout was different from what she saw in the pictures. The only place where the crime happened was the west room.

There are three main rooms in the Zhou family, the west room is connected to the main room, and there is no place to hide in the main room.It is even more inappropriate to be under the window outside the house. If the timing is not right, Zhou Ningyue, who came back from outside, will spot it at a glance.

After thinking about it, the most suitable place to hide is on the beams of the West House. It seems that she is going to be a "gentleman on the beams" once again.

With a plan in mind, Xin You fell asleep in a daze.

The next day when she was nestling in the east courtyard, Shi Shi came over from the front to deliver something, which turned out to be Wuxiangzhai's dim sum.

"It's from your friend, Miss Ji."

Seeing that Xinyou was going to meet Ji Cailan, Shitou hurriedly said: "Miss Ji heard that you were in the East Courtyard, so she put down her snacks and left. She said she happened to pass by here on her way to another place, so she brought you some snacks for you to have a taste of." dislike."

Xin You opened the pastry box and gave Shi Shi a few pastries: "You and Liu Zhou should try it too."

For a child like Shitou who has a hard life, snacks are a good thing that they can't eat during the Chinese New Year.

"Thank you, my master." The young boy happily left with his snacks.

Xinyou sat quietly for a while, then picked up a piece of peach blossom-shaped snack, put it in her mouth, and tasted it slowly.

The dessert was soft and sweet, and tasted very good, but her heart was not soaked in sweetness.

After eating a piece of snack, Xin You sighed slightly.

Even if the ending of Zhou's mother being killed is changed, it is inevitable for the couple to turn against each other, and they don't know how Ji Cailan and Zhou Ningyue, cousins, will get along with each other.

As for her friendship with the two of them... it was originally a friendship based on falsehood, and if you think too much about it, you're just asking for trouble.

In the blink of an eye, it was August [-]th, and Xin You went to the bookstore in front for a stroll, then went out, heading towards Wuxiangzhai.

She wants to check it out in advance so that she can estimate the distance from Zhou's house to the dim sum shop.

As Ji Cailan said, Wuxiangzhai is not far from Jixiangfang. Xinyou walked slowly because he was not in a hurry, and there was already a long queue there.

The dim sum in this restaurant is really popular - Xin You just had this idea, and suddenly stopped.

Why is Zhou Ningyue in the team?

A moon-white blouse, a lilac-colored pleated skirt, and a small basket in her hand...Zhou Ningyue's dress was exactly the same as in the picture.

Xin You stared fixedly at the beautiful girls in the queue, her heart sank suddenly.

wrong!

The time in the picture turned out to be not the day of the Mid-Autumn Festival, but August [-]th!

Xin You didn't care about the annoyance that she made a mistake in her deduction, and walked towards Zhou Ningyue quickly.

"Sister Kou?" Seeing Xin You, Zhou Ningyue was pleasantly surprised, "You also know this pastry shop?"

"I heard sister Ji say that this dim sum shop tastes good that day, and I was thinking of buying some dim sum to bring back to my grandparents' house during the festival." Xin You explained, holding Zhou Ningyue's hand, "You see, sister Zhou, dim sum can't be bought. gone."

"What's wrong?" Zhou Ningyue was at a loss.

Xin You pulled Zhou Ningyue to the direction of Zhou's house, lowered her voice and said, "From my observation of sister Zhou's face, it is a sign that my parents are in danger, and it is close at hand."

Parents refer to parents, Zhou Ningyue immediately thought of what Xinyou said that her mother had a bloody disaster, and couldn't help but change her face: "My mother——"

Xin You didn't need to pull any further, she ran home with her skirt in hand.

Xin You silently chased after her.

Zhou Ningyue was worried that something might happen to her parents, so she ran fast, but it took a quarter of an hour to reach the door.

The door of Zhou's house was closed, but it was not locked. Zhou Ningyue pushed open the door and rushed in, heading straight to the main room.
