Wearing books: relying on family wealth to start a decadent career

Japan is lively today, and the Yamen has taken care of all the trivial matters.

Pei Zhen planned to say hello and go back to rest. Who would have expected that just when his toes touched the door, footsteps came this way.

He looked at the moon in the sky and silently made a wish. A word in his ear brought him back to reality: "Sir, a corpse was found in Dongshui Lane."

"What does it have to do with me?"

Ming Huaying quietly listened to the reason for what happened, drank the last sip of soup, took out the handkerchief and wiped it clean, and asked.

Seeing the corners of his lips turning down, Ming Huaying turned away and refused to look. There was a smile in her eyes as she watched Xiao Feng and the others pick out the things they had won.

Then he looked down at the person squatting next to him and raised his eyebrows: "Speak clearly."

Pei Zhen knew there was something going on when he heard this, and quickly moved a stool: "We just went to see the person who died. The person who died was Bai Qing from Baiye Village. He became a carpenter apprentice a few days ago, and we happened to have someone not far from the Yamen. I met him and had a few chats with him.”

Ming Huaying supported her chin with one hand, frowned, and asked, "Why did you come to me now that you know your identity?"

Pei Zhen shrank his neck and did not dare to look at the other party. Although his cousin was good at treating people, he was inexplicably afraid when he came here.

Ming Huaying didn't wait for an answer and looked around, feeling something was wrong: "You didn't bring anyone out?"

"The Yamen is short of people right now." Pei Zhen answered vaguely, rolled his eyes and suddenly became hardened, "Xu Suiran went out on business and took everyone away, so there are only two people available."

He did not lie. Xu Suiran did bring someone with him when he went out, but only two people.

Just as he was about to continue speaking, he was tapped twice on the shoulder. Behind him was the brightly lit street, but what Pei Zhen saw was Ji Huatao with clear and bright eyes.

Her unretracted hand was still near the other party's shoulder, she smiled sheepishly, and whispered: "Can we listen to this? I heard that things about the yamen are kept confidential."

"No……"

"Of course I can listen. Mr. Pei has already planned to hand over the case to me." Ming Huaying's tone was brisk, and the smile on her face was Mingming's sarcasm.

Pei Zhen lost his temper and defended in a low voice: "It happened that a few children were lost in Baiye Village. I thought of the convenience of a place but lack of manpower, so I wanted to investigate the case with my cousin."

Ming Huaying closed her eyes and didn't want to move. It seemed that her dream of being a hands-off shopkeeper was still far away. Both brothers were enough to give her a headache.

When Xu Suiran comes back later, she has to ask him to teach these two people.

"sister."

Ming Huaying still had her eyes closed, as if she didn't want to talk to him: "You let Xu Suiran come back, or you will report him to the boss and deduct his money."

"Okay." Pei Zhen responded loudly, then raised his head and said cautiously, "Then cousin, go back and have a good rest. I will find you tomorrow."

"Come on."

After Pei Zhen left, Ji Huatao walked over and asked curiously: "Aren't you worried that Xu Suiran hasn't come back after so many days?"

Ming Huaying stood up and walked a few steps back. Seeing that they hadn't caught up yet, she urged: "Go back and rest quickly. You will be busy tomorrow when I'm not in the shop."

As for Xu Suiran, she has nothing to worry about, as long as she can come back alive.

Ming Huaying slept deeply that night, and from time to time, she could hear murmurs in her sleep beside her bed in the darkness.

This was the first time she had had weird dreams and she couldn't remember.

In the dream, she was wearing different clothes than in the past. The sleeves that originally covered her entire arm were now only half-length, but she didn't seem to feel anything was wrong. She was holding a black pen in her hand and writing something on the paper. .

Someone seemed to be sighing next to him. Ming Huaying stopped and turned around, her voice was hoarse: "What's wrong with you?"

The girl rested her head on her arms and looked at her: "Do top students never worry about test scores?"

Before she could answer, the girl continued: "My mother told me that if I don't get into the top [-] for this monthly exam, my pocket money will be cut off."

After hearing this, Ming Huaying turned around and continued writing, admonishing: "In that case, why don't you answer a few more questions?"

"My sister's results will be out tomorrow. What's the use of me studying questions now!" Ming Huaying seemed to know what she was going to say in advance and covered her ears the moment the other party spoke.

Fortunately, there were no complaints from other people in the class during the break.

Suddenly someone knocked on her arm. Ming Huaying looked at her in confusion and saw the other person mysteriously handed her a book.

Ming Huaying flipped through it casually. The content did not look like the content in the cover exercise book. She closed the book and pushed it back. She rubbed her temples with her fingertips and whispered: "I advise you to combine work and rest. Be careful not to be taken away and call your parents."

When she first came into contact with him, she knew that her deskmate was a desperate academic. When she took the book back and heard the phrase "balance work and rest," she was even a little confused. Who didn't pay attention to balance between work and rest? She finally brushed it up. I will read the novel later.

As for this one, he has never put down his pen since he got it.

The temperature outside was very high, and I felt a little uncomfortable after spending a day in the cool classroom. It seemed as if the cool air on my skin had been burned away by the sun, turning into mist and clinging to my clothes.

Even after returning home in the evening, she was still uncomfortable with the heat. After Ming Huaying finished her homework and took a shower, no one came back. She suddenly remembered that her parents told her when she went out this morning that she was going on a business trip and would have to come back in two days.

Ming Huaying put the towel on her dripping hair and packed her schoolbag. Suddenly she caught a glimpse of a familiar book from the corner of her eyes. She frowned and pulled it out. Sure enough, it was the one that her deskmate had given her in the afternoon.

But didn’t he return it?

Ming Huaying's heart suddenly hurt, and she accidentally opened it and turned to the first page.

The blank page irritated her eyes, and the water from her hair dripped on the book. Ming Huaying felt that the room was breathless.

Her eyes suddenly widened, and Ming Huaying sat up sweating profusely. It took her a while to realize where she was now.

I got out of bed and opened the window to look outside. It was already very late and the stars were still hanging in the sky.The wind blew over and dissipated the heat from her body.

When he reached out to close the window, he felt something was wrong. He blew the fire stick that came from Xiaofeng on the table and lit it. The weak light slowly looked out the window. His wrist was held, and he sighed: "You want to light me on fire?" ?"

Minghuaying said without changing his expression: "Did Pei Zhen ask you to come back?"

The man leaned inside to light the lamp and put out the fire.He rubbed the wrist he held with his fingertips and softly said "hmm".

His face looked tired, but when he looked at the people inside, he was full of joy, and his words were reproachful: "Why are you blowing here again? You are not in good health to begin with."

Ming Huaying sneered, leaning against the window and looking at each other: "When will you change your habit of not sleeping and coming to watch others sleep? You have been doing it eight times a month since three years ago, eh, you just Aren’t you afraid of scaring people?”

"I don't want to scare others." Xu Suiran whispered, obviously feeling guilty after being caught.
