Guan Qu was a little in disbelief: "This, is this really Guan Ying?" He tried to reach out and grab the other person's face.
The beauty swung her cold eyes towards her, and Guan Qu stopped his hand in mid-air: "It's really Guan Ying. By the way, brother Guan, do you have any sisters who are not betrothed to others? Can you introduce them to us?"
!”
Guan Ying snorted and was about to leave, but Lin Chong quickly stopped him. Just kidding, if you miss this opportunity, it’s up to you whether you can catch someone next time. “Well, as the old saying goes, it’s better to choose a day than to hit it, let’s do it today.
, let’s go catch the flower picker today.”
Guan Ying probably also thought that if he didn't go today, he would suffer a lot in the future, and the pain would be short-lived, so he agreed with a dark face.
So on this day in the capital, the chill of early spring had not completely passed, and there was a group of businessmen downstairs of the inn who didn't know where they came from.
Among them, there was a woman in green clothes with an indifferent expression that stood out even more. She didn't speak much, but occasionally turned slightly sideways when others were talking to her, and occasionally frowned her pretty eyebrows.
A boy smiled and called the waiter to come over and rewarded him with a few taels of silver. The waiter was so happy that he couldn't even see his eyes and told the guest to just tell him if he had any orders.
This boy was naturally Lin Chong. He raised his fingers and said, "We just entered the capital today. We were originally going to visit an adult. It's really late today. It's a bit unseemly for us to come to the door like this. That's why we came."
I stayed in an inn for one night. But as soon as I entered the city, I heard that flower pickers were very rampant in this area recently. You also saw my lady’s fairy-like appearance. The master and young master were very worried. They didn’t know who this flower picker was.
What's going on?"
The waiter received a lot of money and replied happily: "You don't know something, little brother. This is true. It is said that not only the older girls who come to ordinary people's homes harm others, but also the young ladies from wealthy families are not spared."
ah."
Lin Chong was worried: "We are just staying here for one night, nothing will happen to us, but has anyone seen what the flower picker looks like?"
The waiter whispered back: "The government has asked, but the ladies refused to answer. Some did, but the descriptions were much different. Some said she was a pretty pretty girl.
Some people say that he is a tall and handsome man, and there are also some young ladies who have gone missing and have not been found yet. They run to the government gate and cry every day. It is really pitiful."
Lin Chong also nodded and sighed. At this time, Guan Qu said curiously: "The most sad and angry person when something like this happens is probably the husband-in-law of these women."
The waiter replied: "It stands to reason, but I haven't heard of anything happening to the young mistress of any house."
Lin Chong nodded: "We don't feel at ease right now, so I ask my little brother to take care of me just for this night."
After receiving the money, the waiter naturally has to take care of her. Besides, this young lady is so beautiful. It would be a pity if she was ruined by the flower picker.
Seeing the waiter patting his chest and responding, Lin Chong said a few words of gratitude, and the "Miss" in Tsing Yi also nodded slightly to show his gratitude. The waiter's smile was gone and he walked with a smile.
Guan Qu looked at the waiter's back and sighed: "It's ok, I'm asking you to come to Dali Temple because you're just showing off your talents. If you go to Zhaoyue Tower, you'll have to take away the most popular Ruoyue Junyue in a few days."
It’s no match, sister.”
Guan Ying turned her neck stiffly and stared at him. Guan Qu choked on his drink of water. He coughed and apologized: "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, cough cough cough. I will never dare to cough cough cough again."
Sister, please spare me this time."
Listening to Lin Chong, he really wanted to applaud his courage. Guan Qu had forgotten the cute set of knives on Guan Ying so quickly. He would probably feel better when the whole thing was over.
He interrupted Guan Qu's chatter: "Have you discovered a problem?"
Ling Yiqu shook his fan and nodded: "Indeed, those who got into trouble were all women who had not left the government. There have been so many cases where no one has been married."
Lin Chong held his chin and drew circles on the table: "Besides this, there is one more thing. When did this flower picker start to appear?"
Ling Yiqu remembered the case very clearly: "It was five days ago."
Lin Chong turned to Guan Ying: "When did Miss Zhou go to Dali Temple to find you?"
Guan Ying frowned: "It should have been six days ago."
"That's right, the first case happened the next day. I was joking with the master at that time and asked if Guan Ying had become enlightened hahaha...ha, ha..."
Guan Ying: My knife wants to peel the skin off, don’t stop me!
The atmosphere suddenly solidified, and the other protagonist who was joking couldn't sit still: "Do you think this case is related to Miss Zhou?"
Lin Chong fiddled with the bowls and chopsticks: "I can't say yet, it's just a feeling. Actually..."
Wang Chengen glanced sideways and coughed a few times.
Lin Chong knew that someone was looking this way, and several people winked at each other.
Ling Yiqu said seriously: "Qu'er, please work hard tonight and go to your sister's room to guard the door all night."
Guan Qu immediately called out: "Why, I won't go. Who would want to be at the door of her room in the middle of the night? Dad, you don't know that I am not in good health, so I won't go."
Lin Chong stood up quickly: "Master, I can just stand guard at the young lady's door today. The young lady has a special constitution, and it will be even harder for the young master to guard her."
Guan Qu also wanted to ask why he had a special constitution. Guan Ying spoke by himself, with a deliberately high-pitched voice, but the whole thing was not revealing: "Dad, I know that because of my special birthday, you have always thought that I am
It's ominous, so is you, my wife, and my brother, that's why I was sent away. I don't need anyone else to guard me, you can sleep on your own."
After saying this, he seemed sad and angry, his eyes were a little red and his voice was choked with sobs.
Only Lin Chong saw that he was so uncomfortable after holding his throat and saying so many words in one breath that he lowered his head and kept drinking water.
Among these people, only Guan Ying and himself knew about Zhou Yun's pure yin constitution. He was a servant and it was hard to say much. It was more reasonable for the young lady to say it herself.
Lin Chong couldn't help but applaud Guan Ying for his understanding. Halfway through, he remembered that he used to often say that Zhou Ze was his Jie Yuhua. He was still not satisfied. Now he could say whatever he wanted. He couldn't help it.
He smiled bitterly, he didn't want his ministers to lose their lives because of him.
Guan Ying saw that he was a little depressed but didn't ask any more questions. Lin Chong muttered that these scholars were really the same, so smart that it made people's heads hurt.
After dinner, Lin Chong helped Guan Ying go upstairs. They were in such a hurry to come out that they didn't even consider that the young lady should be accompanied by a maid.
