Chapter 372 Lantern Festival (two chapters in one)
In the blink of an eye, the Shangyuan Festival was coming. Chai Yan came to Qingping Lane early. He was wearing royal blue arrow sleeves and a ferret cloak outside, making his face look red and white, and his eyebrows and eyes look picturesque.
As soon as he arrived, he found that the atmosphere today was better than usual. After asking, he found out that just today, Li Qiniang officially accepted Lu Ying'er as her disciple.
Although Lu Ying'er has been learning cooking for the past two or three years, she is just a basic skill. If Li Qiniang was not there when she was in Pingcheng, she could still cook and take charge of the spoon. When she arrived in Beijing, she could only help with the side dishes.
Li Qiniang observed for a long time and felt that this girl was down-to-earth and diligent, and more importantly, she had talent.
Yan Xuehuai has no talent, the original owner does not have it, and she does not have it, and her interests are not here.
Today, Lu Ying'er officially gave Li Qiniang a disciple ceremony in front of Mr. Li's tablet. From then on, she has been a descendant of the Li family.
Wen Xiu was so envious that if she had a daughter of the age of Lu Ying'er, she would have tried every means to ask the boss to accept her daughter as her apprentice.
This is craft. Learning craftsmanship is one's own ability. Even in troubled times, those with abilities cannot starve to death. Just like the boss's wife, she was so difficult when she was in Pingcheng, she still had no worries about food and clothing with a spatula.
Xia Erjie was also moved and wondered if she should ask the boss’s wife to ask her daughter Aguo to do odd jobs in Li Shijiji.
But just thinking about this, Xia Erjie refused. People, you have to be content. Now that they can stay in Qingping Lane, it would be great to meet such a good boss. If you ask too much, it would be boring.
You must know the right attitude when you are a person.
Yan Xuehuai hugged Lu Ying'er's shoulder and said with a smile: "Then I will call you senior sister from now on."
Lu Ying'er's face turned red and she hurriedly said, "Young master, this is not something I can't afford to do."
"I said ok, I can do it. I can't afford it. From now on, I will call you senior sister. Oh, it's like in a script, it's so exciting."
Okay, Lu Ying'er understands that the young master thinks the title of senior sister is very exciting. Well, Lu Ying'er doesn't understand what is exciting. If the young master likes it, then just call it like that.
Yan Xuehuai was really happy. In fact, Li Qiniang had never thought about accepting a disciple. It was Yan Xuehuai mentioned it. Li Qiniang thought it was good. Lu Ying'er's parents died and her younger brother was lost again. She was alone and lonely. If she became her apprentice, she would have relatives. Li Qiniang knew better than anyone else that it was difficult for women from her parents to be in her in-laws' house.
From then on, her master was Lu Ying'er's elder, and wherever she was, Lu Ying'er's mother's home.
Chai Yan heard that Li Qiniang had accepted Lu Ying'er as her apprentice and hurriedly asked Agate to prepare a gift. Yan Xuehuai glanced at him sideways. You are such a little expert who can take advantage of the situation. You can seize every opportunity to please your mother-in-law.
"By the way, Boss Shi and his brothers have all found it." Chai Yan said.
Yan Xuehuai frowned: "You are talking about finding it, not catching it, they are all dead? What are they found?"
Chai Yan sighed in his heart. His coriander is much smarter than the old fried dough sticks in the Ministry of Justice.
"Yes, we found their bodies, and were in a family in Paifang Lane. The landlord said that the house was rented out half a year ago. The renter spoke a northern accent, his surname was Zhang and his name was Zhang Sheng, and he showed the landlord the road quotation. The road quotation was written by Zhangjia Village, Liushui Town, Baixian.
The landlord has another house in Beijing and does not usually live in Paifang Lane. Zhang Sheng paid the rent for one year at a time, and the landlord was very happy. Therefore, since Zhang Sheng moved into Paifang Lane, the landlord has never been there.
We showed the portraits of Boss Shi and the three brothers to the landlord, and he recognized Boss Shi very much like Zhang Sheng."
The portraits of Boss Shi and his brothers were drawn based on the descriptions of neighbors. Yan Xuehuai also saw them, and they were somewhat similar.
Chai Yan continued: "The neighbors in Paifang Lane said that Zhang Sheng rarely goes home, and his door is locked all year round. The neighbors even thought that Zhang Sheng had stopped living there for a long time.
As for what Zhang Sheng does, the neighbors don’t know at all.
The beggars were found in the body. These beggars were very brave. They usually stayed in the area of Paifang Lane. They had long discovered that the house was locked all year round. They wanted to simply move in secret. The weather was too cold, even if they stayed for a few days. So they quietly climbed over the wall and found that the doors in the house were all covered. They were very happy at first, but when they got closer, they smelled a stench.
Four corpses were lying in the room, all of whom had been dead for many days.
These beggars were frightened and jumped out of the wall with a loud scream, alarming the neighbors, and pressed the beggars on the spot. After asking, they found out that there were dead people in the house.
The coroner tests that the four bodies have been dead for at least six or seven days. They were cold and there was no fire in the house, so the stench did not spread to the alley and the neighbors had not noticed it for a while.
The fatal injuries of these four corpses are the same as those two female assassins, the short blade with a bloodletting groove."
Yan Xuehuai frowned. The case has been half a month since it was not solved, but all the clues have been cut off now. Even until now, I don’t know who sent the so-called detailed works.
She suddenly realized that Chai Yan seemed to have lost weight, but fortunately she was young and still looked good.
"After the first month of the year, my mother and I are going to Pingcheng." Yan Xuehuai said.
Chai Yan had heard Yan Xuehuai say it before, but Yan Xuehuai was very excited at that time, but today he heard the reluctance in Yan Xuehuai's tone.
His cilantro, isn't he willing to give up on him?
Chai Yan felt happy after eating honey.
"Don't worry, I will help you take care of Xiaoman, Li Shiji and Qianweiju, and I will send someone to watch it, and I will guarantee that there will be no mistakes."
Chai Yan remembered what the queen said to him that day when he went into the palace. The queen told him that when Qi Wei and Li Qiniang finished their marriage, they would immediately give him and Yan Xuehuai a marriage.
Chai Yan had done it. At most, he would be able to marry Yan Xuehuai happily in another year.
At this time, Li Yunpan and Zhou Wanqian came, and Yan Xuehuai threw Chai Yan aside and tried out clothes with the two of them.
When everyone went out to look at the lights, Chai Yan opened his mouth in surprise. He saw Yan Xuehuai, Li Yunpan, Zhou Wanqian, and Lu Ying'er, who had just been promoted to senior sister, all four young girls were wearing exactly the same white silk shirt and blue skirt, a single snail bun, and a pearl earring. If Yan Xuehuai had not been the tallest, Chai Yan would have almost no recognition.
Seeing him stupidly, Yan Xuehuai asked him, "Does I look good when dressed like this?"
Chai Yan wanted to say that Su Su was light and looked good, but when he said that, he turned into: "The white silk shirt shone on the moonlight, you compare the moon to the dullness."
Everyone likes to hear good words. Yan Xuehuai smiled and her eyebrows were curved. She looked at Chai Yan's clothes and said, "Look, our clothes are the same color."
Chai Yan wanted to cry, but Zhou Wanqian, Li Yunpan, and Lu Ying'er were also wearing these two colors. I just wanted to match you, but you pulled three.
As soon as the group walked out of Qingping Lane, they saw the Duke's carriage. Li Qiniang didn't expect that Qi Wei would go to the lantern festival, and was a little surprised, but after experiencing Qi Wei's story from Li Shiji, Li Qiniang felt that it was normal.
Zhou Dadajia smiled and said, "You go to the Duke's carriage. I will take Xiaobai and Xiaoman, two little ones. I see, there is no place for them in the Seventh Prince's carriage."
Li Qiniang was a little worried and reminded: "Sister, don't let them eat on the roadside, so as not to get rid of their stomachs."
"Okay, okay, I understand, you guys go quickly." Zhou Dadao smiled.
The group took a three-car car and soon arrived at the lantern market.
Chai Yan had already asked someone to book the largest and best private room in Baoyue Tower. When you open the window, you can see the bright moon in the sky. When you lower your head, you will see the lantern market that is more dazzling than the stars.
Baoyuelou's seat was booked a month ago. Chai Yan used a lot of connections before he got this private room from someone else.
