Daily life in Kaifeng dormitory

Zhao Yin stuffed the small medicine bottle to Murong Changqing, and then left without looking back. Chi Long also left, leaving only Murong Changqing with a dark face standing at the door.

Murong Changqing almost threw the medicine bottle away, but finally took a look, put it in his sleeve, then turned around and opened the door to go in.

Ni Yexin slept soundly, completely unaware that Murong had gone out in love.

Ni Yexin slept for a long time, and seeing that it was already past noon, she didn't even seem to wake up at all.Murong Changqing went out again and asked the shopkeeper downstairs what a sick person should eat.

The shopkeeper asked the kitchen to make some porridge and green vegetables, and Murong Changqing almost laughed out loud when he saw the plate. I'm afraid Ni Yexin would have a bitter face and say that he wants to eat meat.

Murong Changqing went upstairs with porridge and vegetables, and when he opened the door, he saw that Ni Yexin was already awake, sitting on the bed with the quilt in his arms, but he looked dazed, as if he hadn't woken up before taking a nap Come.

Ni Yexin rubbed her eyes and said, "Hero Murong, where have you been?"

Murong Chang said affectionately, "I've brought you some food."

Ni Yexin didn't seem to have a fever anymore, anyway, it was much stronger than in the morning, and her complexion looked normal, her forehead temperature was not too high, but she was covered in hot sweat and her clothes were wet.

Murong Chang said affectionately: "Eat first, then take a bath."

Ni Yexin was hungry, and looked eager to try, but when he saw the green shaft and green vegetables in Murong Changqing's hand, his face instantly turned pale, and he said, "Hero, is there nothing else?"

Murong Chang said indifferently: "The shopkeeper said that patients should eat these."

Ni Yexin said: "Patients should supplement their nutrition."

Murong Chang smiled affectionately and said, "Eat."

Ni Yexin looked up at the condescending and succinct Hero Murong, and then showed the appearance of a little daughter-in-law, holding the porridge bowl and starting to drink the porridge with a spoon, that was a grievance.

Ni Yexin said: "People who are sick don't have much sense of taste, and the birds have faded out of my mouth, and I am asked to drink such a light thing."

Murong Chang ignored him, and Ni Yexin had no choice but to drink the porridge silently.

He was drinking porridge when someone knocked on the door suddenly, Murong Changqing walked over to open the door and saw that it was Chi Long.

Chi Long was holding a tray with some lunch in it. He glanced at the room and said, "It turns out that Master Ni has woken up. We thought Master Ni hadn't woken up."

Ni Yexin was drinking porridge when he suddenly smelled the smell of meat. It was so fragrant that his saliva almost flowed out, and he said, "Chi Long Chi Long! What are you serving?"

Chi Long said: "Oh, it's lunch for Hero Murong. Hero Murong hasn't come out to eat. I saw that it was getting late, so I brought lunch for Hero Murong."

Murong Chang took a look at his lunch and said, "Thank you."

"It's nothing." Chi Long said, "Then I'll go back first."

Chi Long brought lunch, handed it over to Murong Changqing and left.

When Ni Yexin fell asleep, Murong Changqing was sitting next to him. He didn't go out or eat. He just brought porridge, so Chi Long brought food to Murong Changqing.

Murong Changqing closed the door and put the food on the table.Ni Yexin's eyes were sharp, and his saliva was about to flow down immediately, and he said, "Is there any braised pork?"

"No." Murong Chang looked at the plate of braised pork affectionately, said lightly without changing his face or eyebrows.

Ni Yexin almost jumped up from the bed and said, "It must be, I can smell it!"

Murong Changqing sat at the table, picked up the chopsticks, looked at the pitiful Ni Yexin holding the porridge bowl with a calm expression, and said, "Drink your porridge."

Ni Yexin glared at Murong Changqing, and looked at the hero Murong who never liked greasy food. He calmly added a piece of fat and thin braised pork with the first chopsticks, and put it in his mouth gracefully and slowly.

Ni Yexin: "..."

The clear porridge was even more tasteless, and it was hard to swallow.

Murong Changqing ate a piece of braised pork, frowned, and said, "It's too greasy."

Ni Yexin: "..."

If it wasn't for his poor martial arts skills, he would have rushed to grab the meat!

Ni Ye felt aggrieved and aggrieved to drink the porridge, feeling that the green vegetables were too unpalatable, bitter and astringent, not yet salty, so he finished the porridge just to make do, and then he kept staring at Murong Changqing sadly.

Murong Changqing was looked down upon by him very helplessly, so he simply picked up a piece of braised pork, then sat by the bed and wanted to put it in Ni Yexin's bowl.

But before he put it in, Ni Yexin tugged at his sleeve, pushed his nose hard and said, "Hero, don't put it in, just feed me."

Murong Changqing: "..."

Murong Changqing suddenly regretted and sympathized with Ni Yexin, but Ni Yexin moved quickly, and immediately poked his head, and took away the braised pork on Murong Changqing's chopsticks.

Ni Ye ate a piece of braised pork contentedly, with puffed cheeks, and said, "Don't worry, hero, I never touched your chopsticks just now, and your chopsticks are still clean."

Murong Changqing: "..."

Murong Changqing looked at Ni Yexin's eating behavior and felt that his illness must be almost cured.As for Ni Yexin, the speed of snatching food is even faster than that of corn.

Suddenly thinking of corn, Murong Changqing was stunned for a moment, as if he was teased by Ni Yexin recently, and he forgot to feed the corn.

In the past, Murong Changqing had only corn around him, and corn stayed by his side all the time, to relieve Murong Changqing's boredom when there was nothing to do.But since meeting Ni Yexin, it seems that Maize has been left out in the cold.

At this moment, corn and popcorn, which were also neglected, are in Zhao Yin and Chi Long's room.Popcorn is cute, and Zhao Yin likes it very much, so when his unreliable owner ignores it, Zhao Yin will feed it with things.

Because corn likes to play with popcorn, it always follows popcorn.At the beginning of the sneak attack on Popcorn, Popcorn would run around in fright, but after more sneak attacks, Popcorn became calm and didn't even move his ears when he saw corn.

Chi Long doesn't like small animals very much, but thinks corn is good, so corn and popcorn have been kept by Chi Long and Zhao Yin. Only occasionally, Ni Yexin suddenly thinks of popcorn, and then sighs that the popcorn grows well Come on, it seems to be bigger again.

Ni Ye was satisfied, his body felt better, and he was full. He was forced to take a bath, and his body smelled so good that it couldn't be more fragrant.

Ni Yexin said, "Are Chi Long and Zhao Yin here? Call them over?"

Murong Chang nodded affectionately, and went out to call for someone.

Ni Ye sat happily on the chair and waited for them to come over. He felt that Hero Murong had become more and more gentle recently, even when he stared at him with a dark face, he was full of gentleness!

The more Ni Yexin thought about it, the happier he became. Although Murong Daxia was too shy and never said that he liked him, Ni Yexin felt that his relationship with Murong Chang was definitely in the rhythm of dating.

Eat and live together, and kiss.

Although the kiss was pure, it was definitely considered a kiss.

Oh, by the way, Ni Yexin almost forgot that they had already slept together!

Ni Ye secretly laughed out loud as he thought about it, and quickly wiped his nose with his sleeve, but luckily he didn't burst into snot bubbles from laughing.

Ni Yexin wiped his nose, and smelled a fragrant smell on his clothes, which seemed to be very similar to the smell of Hero Murong, and it definitely got it from Hero Murong.

Murong Changqing soon brought Chi Long and Zhao Yin in. As soon as they entered the door, the three of them saw Ni Yexin sitting alone at the table and giggling silly. The hairs of the three of them stood on end and their spines felt cold.

The corner of Murong Changqing's mouth twitched, and said, "What are you laughing at?"

Ni Yexin immediately grabbed her sleeve and said, "Hero, come and smell it, I smell like you!"

Murong Changqing: "..."

Murong Changqing was quite helpless, but Zhao Yin's expression became unnatural when he heard this, he felt that they came at the wrong time and heard embarrassing words.

Chi Long was calm, pretending that he didn't understand anything, and sat down after laughing twice.

Ni Yexin was in a good mood and beckoned them over. The four of them just formed the sides of the table and began to talk about the case.

Ni Yexin said: "How is it? Have everyone in the Xie family asked?"

Chi Long nodded, then shook his head again, and said: "Basically, I have asked, but the second lady and the daughter of Xie's family are particularly uncooperative, and they don't see anyone at all."

Ni Yexin said, "What about the others?"

Zhao Yin said: "I asked them all."

There are not many people in the Xie family, much less than the previous Xu family, there are not so many servants, and there is not such a big mansion.

Mr. Xie only has two wives. The first lady is not in good health, and the second lady is stimulated. Sometimes she will suddenly beat and swear, but when she is good, she is very difficult to speak.

Chi Long and Zhao Yin went to find the eldest lady first. The yard of the eldest lady was full of the smell of traditional Chinese medicine, and there were two little maids in the room.

Zhao Yin said: "We went to see the lady. She said that she didn't go out of the yard yesterday afternoon to night. Because she was very tired, the little maids were waiting outside the house and didn't come in to disturb her. Finally saw The housekeeper was in the evening, and the housekeeper brought the doctor over and said that he wanted to see a doctor for her. The lady didn't let her see, so she asked the doctor to leave. She wanted to let the housekeeper go with her, but the housekeeper stayed and said a few words to persuade her Don't get angry with the second lady."

Ni Yexin nodded after listening.

Zhao Yin said again: "The two little maids were outside, saying that the housekeeper only talked about a cup of tea inside, and then left in a hurry. It seems that there are still many things to do."

Da Furen's two servant girls can testify to Da Furen that Da Furen has never left the room since then. She drank medicine and ate a little dinner and went to bed early. Until she heard that the housekeeper had died, Da Furen never stepped out of the room.

As for Mr. Xie, Mr. Xie is also in poor health recently, and he doesn’t care about business matters. He left it to the housekeeper. He rested for a whole day yesterday. When he finally saw the housekeeper, the housekeeper came to ask him for instructions, saying that Mr. Ni wanted to see Xie’s family. account books.Master Xie agreed, and asked the housekeeper to take all the ledgers, and let Master Ni look through them casually. Afterwards, Master Xie never saw the housekeeper again.

Zhao Yin said: "The shopkeeper of a shop in Xie's family said that the housekeeper was going to have a drink last night, and it was in the small restaurant opposite our inn. I heard that a merchant wanted to entertain Mr. Xie, but Mr. Xie I've been feeling unwell recently, so I asked the butler to go there if I didn't want to go. But yesterday evening, the butler asked a servant to go and tell the businessman that he couldn't go because of something, and pushed away the drinking."

"In the evening?" Ni Yexin asked.

Zhao Yin nodded and said: "The servant was very surprised when he heard about it, because he was in such a hurry, maybe the merchant had already arranged the banquet, but the butler's tone was very firm, so he didn't ask too much, thinking it was The housekeeper didn't want to continue doing business with that merchant, so he ran back to that person."

The merchant had indeed set up the banquet. Hearing what the servant of the Xie family said, his expression was a bit ugly, but he didn't dare to say anything, so he politely said that it was okay.

The butler rejected the evening drink, and heard from the boy who lived in the same yard that the butler came back early last night, and he didn't know what he did in the house.

Zhao Yin said again: "We also went to find the second lady, but the second lady didn't see us, saying that she was sick and couldn't see guests, but we kept hearing the second lady talking inside outside the yard."

The second lady obviously didn't want to see them, and while saying that she was sick, she scolded her maid in the yard.

Ni Yexin said: "What about Miss Xie's daughter? We went several times and didn't see her."

Zhao Yin said: "I saw it just now. I'm not very old and I haven't reached the age yet. When we came out of the Da Furen's yard, we happened to see this Miss Xie, but we wanted to ask her for a question, but she ignored us, not at all. Stop and go straight away."

After all, Miss Xie is still an immature girl. Two big men, Chi Long and Zhao Yin, are not good at touching her. There is nothing they can do about it. Then Miss Xie's maid is also aggressive, preventing them from passing, Miss Xie After entering the courtyard, he did not come out, and was not allowed to ask questions at all.

When Ni Yexin heard it, he held his cheeks and glanced back and forth between Chi Long and Zhao Yin's faces intently.

Zhao Yin was horrified when he saw it, so he heard Ni Yexin say: "I know, you must be not handsome enough, so the little girl doesn't like you. I still need to do this kind of thing myself."

Murong Changqing: "..."

Murong gave Ni Yexin a blank look, and said, "Do you think the death of the butler has something to do with the young master of the Xie family and the snake pattern totem?"

Ni Yexin said: "I don't know. But, it's such a coincidence that they all met together. If you tell me it's okay, I can't believe it."

Murong Changqing frowned. Although there seemed to be no connection at the moment, Murong Changqing also thought, how could it be such a coincidence that two people from the Xie family died all at once?

Ni Yexin patted the table, stood up and said, "Okay, let's go to Xie's house and meet the second lady and Miss Xie. Oh, by the way, did someone search in the housekeeper's house? Did you find anything useful?" ?”

Chi Long said: "There are a lot of things, all of which are similar to ledgers, and there are also many correspondences, most of which are with some merchants."

Ni Yexin nodded and said, "All right, let's go there first."

The four of them went to Xie's house immediately, Xie's house still left some officials there, and guarded the housekeeper's room to prevent others from entering.

They entered Xie's house, and when they reached the gate of Xie's house, they unexpectedly saw the second lady.

The second lady turned around from the side road and didn't see them.She walked to the housekeeper's yard alone. There were two officials guarding the gate of the yard. When they saw the second lady, they stopped her and said, "You can't go in here for the time being."

The second lady was holding her head up high, as if she had entered the land of no one, but when she was stopped, her face drooped and she said, "This is my home. How dare you stop me? Why can't I go in?" ?”

This second lady seems to be notoriously cunning and cunning. Everyone in the small town knows that the two officials also know her, and they don't want to have any conflicts with the second lady, so they said: "Please forgive me, we are also investigating the case." Just doing errands."

The second lady sneered and said, "Investigate? What kind of case is the investigation? This butler is such a good thing. He deserves his death. He may have taken away a lot of money from our family, so the master just thinks about old love and doesn't care about him. Absolutely." If things were revealed, he committed suicide!"

As soon as Ni Yexin heard it, he suddenly remembered that the butler's death was indeed quite sudden, after he showed him all the Xie family's account books.

Ni Yexin immediately stepped forward and asked, "How do you know that the butler committed suicide because he took dirty money?"

The second lady glanced back at the visitor, sneered, and said, "Why don't I know? Among these lowly slaves, which one is clean? Their eyes shine when they see silver. It's the old man's daughter who married At that time, the dowry was full of two boxes, he is a lowly thing, where did he get so much money? He must have tampered with the accounting!"

While the second lady was talking, suddenly an official came out of the butler's room, and saw Ni Yexin standing outside at a glance.

The official rushed over and said, "Lord Ni, you see, we found this and added it to a book on the housekeeper's desk."

The official sent a piece of paper to Ni Yexin. Ni Yexin looked at it, was taken aback, and said, "Snake pattern totem."

There is a snake pattern totem drawn on that piece of paper, but the paper is not complete, most of it has been torn off, and there are no other characters at all. Part of the snake pattern totem has also been torn off, but it is not difficult to see that this Snakes have dragon claws.
