Twins in Tibet

Chapter 257

Before the fifth day of May, Cheng Jing closed the murder case of the year before last.Seeing the disheveled face of the city lord, Cheng Jing talked about this year's murder case with a half-smile, the city lord was not a fool, so he naturally understood Cheng Jing's meaning, and immediately took the case to himself in fear.As for how to deal with it, you have to figure it out yourself.

And the daughter of the city lord, even though she didn't know that she was in a catastrophe, came to chat with Cheng Jing every day under the pretext of thanking Cheng Jing for her father.The city lord probably didn't tell her about the murder in order not to frighten his daughter. Naturally, he turned a blind eye to her behavior of trying to curry favor with Cheng Jing. confident.

It's a pity that Cheng Jing is a piece of wood, a piece of wood that has blossomed.Therefore, I am very annoyed by the behavior of the city lord's daughter who recites two poems and writes a few poems from time to time. Since they are still living in the city lord's house, they are not too harsh, but the number of times they go out has greatly increased.

This continued until the fourth day of May, when Cheng Jing was about to go out after lunch, Chu Tianhan said: "I remember my father and mother arrived today, right?" Take it back: "Did you receive the letter? Are you sure it's today? Didn't you mean tomorrow?"

Xiao Xunran smiled ~ squinted ~ squinted and put a flower on the table, "It will arrive today, tomorrow is the Hundred Flowers Festival, you can have a good rest tonight, and then tomorrow we will go to the Hundred Flowers Festival together, but You can't go, you often haunt the city lord's mansion, everyone has already assumed that you are the city lord's guest, it would be misleading to go out with us."

Cheng Jing turned around and sat next to Xiao Xunran: "Xunran, you can't treat my cousin like this, and I don't want to go out all the time, but you see, there are always flies buzzing here, if you can bear it The emperor's uncle and emperor's aunt are here, in order to express my filial piety, I should serve my left and right no matter what."

"You are too obvious a target. If you follow us, maybe someone will guess our identity. Assassination, flattery, all kinds of troubles will appear, so I won't take you." Xiao Xunran bent his eyes After finishing speaking, he looked at Cheng Jing: "However, if you agree to one of my requests, I will agree to you."

"What request? Xunran, just say it, and I will definitely agree." Cheng Jing's originally feigned frustration disappeared without a trace, and she looked at Xiao Xunran tremblingly, waiting for Xiao Xunran to ask Their own request, and then they agree to it, and they can go to the street together.Although it is inevitable to be a little restrained following Uncle Sanhuang, it is not interesting to play alone.Moreover, Uncle Sanhuang still has to take care of Aunt Sanhuang, so he will definitely not have time to talk to him, so it is more cost-effective to follow them.

Xiao Xunran glanced at him with his big round eyes, Chu Tianhan sat on the side and pretended he didn't see him, anyway, it must not be Xiao Xunran who suffered in the end.Sure enough, after looking at Cheng Jing, Xiao Xunran said something that made Cheng Jing very depressed: "Cousin, I want your two colorful mandarin ducks."

He said that the colorful mandarin ducks were bought by Cheng Jing in a jewelry store when she went out to play a few days ago. They were carved out of colorful jadeite, not grafted, but natural colorful jadeite, very beautiful, and Great value.It is said that it was a family heirloom of a certain rich family, and the family was in urgent need of money, so they sold it.Cheng Jing liked it very much, and originally planned to buy one for each of them after she and Li Mingyao communicated with each other.

But because this thing is so beautiful, Cheng Jing took these two colorful mandarin ducks and frightened them all day in front of everyone.Xiao Xunran didn't say a word at that time, in order to wait for a future opportunity.If she had asked for it before, Cheng Jing would definitely not have given it. Now, Cheng Jing has agreed in advance.

"Xunran, those two mandarin ducks are my treasures, how about we change them?" Cheng Jing stretched out her hand to touch her purse. He has been putting the mandarin ducks in his purse for the past few days, and from time to time Imagine the wonderful life after I and Li Mingyao communicated with each other in the future.

Xiao Xunran lay down on the mulberries and rearranged the black and white chess pieces into a gossip diagram: "Cousin, you just said that no matter what I ask you will agree to, my mother listens to me and my brother the most, my brother He listens to me the most, and my father listens to my mother the most."

Therefore, I am the last boss, and only what I say counts.

"Besides, I'm also thinking about you. It's fine if you don't thank me, and you don't want to give it to me." Xiao Xunran threw the chess player on the table, turned his head and looked at Cheng Jing seriously: "You don't have your own influence yet. , Of course, there is not much income. The monthly money of the princes seems to be quite small. You see, you went out to dig a treasure once, and then you got yourself a one-on-one look. You know that it is a valuable mandarin duck. In my eyes, you have embezzled the treasure. If this word reaches the ears of the emperor, then you will suffer."

Seeing what Cheng Jing wanted to say, Xiao Xunran quickly interrupted him: "Also, you are single now, if someone insists on arranging for you, like giving you a marriage or something, it is very likely that they will take this pair of mandarin ducks. It's just an excuse. Maybe someone will ask you for this pair of mandarin ducks. Instead of taking advantage of others, you might as well give it to me, right?"

Cheng Jing only heard the last question, so she nodded quickly.

So Xiao Xunran continued to strike while the iron was hot: "You didn't give it to A Yao now, so naturally you will give it later. But these few days you are holding this pair of mandarin ducks and giggling every day, maybe A Yao will think you have a sweetheart, If you misunderstand you, it will be difficult to handle. But you can’t tell Brother Ayao that if you give it to him later, Ayao will definitely think that no one asked you to give it to him, and the misunderstanding will be even bigger. Think about what I said, right?"

Cheng Jing rubbed her chin and thought about it, it seemed that A Yao was really indifferent to her these two days, she thought he was going to practice martial arts so she had no time to pay attention to her, so she was jealous?Doesn't that mean that you are not unrequited love?

Chu Tianhan secretly paid while drinking tea, Li Mingyao's martial arts has improved a lot in the past few days, it really is beneficial to strengthen training.

Xiao Xunran said a lot, Cheng Jing thought about it for a long time, the more she thought about it, the more she felt that what Xiao Xunran said was right, since she couldn't keep this pair of mandarin ducks now, she could only give them away.It's better to be cheaper than your own little cousin than to be cheaper for others.And with Uncle San Huang's financial resources, he could definitely afford this pair of mandarin ducks, so it wouldn't make people suspicious.

"Okay then, I'll give it to you and Tianhan. You must cherish it." Cheng Jing took out the colorful mandarin ducks from her arms and put them in Xiao Xunran's hands, looking at Xiao Xunran anxiously. Smiling brightly like a sunflower.Of the two mandarin ducks, one was naturally tied to Chu Tianhan, and he kept one for himself.

Cheng Jing was mourning her mandarin duck, when she heard a servant outside announce: "Young Master Cheng, the city lord has arrived."

"Please come in." Leaning lazily on the chair, Cheng Jing really wanted to kick that city lord out, and bumped into the muzzle when she was in a bad mood. Not a little better.

"Baby Beibei, do you want to kiss your mother?" As a result, Cheng Jing heard a woman's voice shouting outside before he could wait for the city lord's figure. This voice was so familiar to him.However, it was obvious that Chu Tianhan and Xiao Xunran were more familiar than him, and they had already stood up and walked outside.

"Mother..." Originally, she planned to salute, but Tong Wan'er held the two of them in her arms, and Xiao Xunran pushed her away with a blushing face: "Mother, my brother and I are grown-ups." I can't hold it like this."

"Okay, okay, I know you are adults, come on, tell mother, do you miss mother?" Tong Wan'er said that she knew they were adults, but she didn't let them go in action, and ignored the following With a helpless face, Chu Xiuwen directly dragged the two of them into the house.

Cheng Jing also came out to welcome him, and hurried forward to meet Chu Xiuwen, seeing that Tong Wan'er was busy developing feelings for her baby, Cheng Jing consciously stopped the city lord from behind: "Master city lord, my third emperor's uncle After traveling a long distance with Aunt Sanhuang, I must not have eaten lunch yet."

"Your official understands, I'm going to prepare meals now." The city lord was also shrewd, and immediately saluted.Cheng Jing waved her hand, and the city lord hurried down to give orders.

When Cheng Jing entered the room, Chu Tianhan and Xiao Xunran had already greeted Chu Xiuwen.Cheng Jing hurriedly stepped forward to salute Chu Xiuwen and Tong Wan'er: "Nephew has seen Uncle Sanhuang and Aunt Sanhuang."

"Sit down, don't be so polite. I said that your royal etiquette is too much, and you will be exhausted. From now on, you don't need to salute here. Everyone is a family, and they come and worship every day. , it’s not a statue in a temple, receiving too many gifts will damage your fortune.” Tong Wan’er said a lot directly, pointing to the opposite chair for Cheng Jing to sit down.

Cheng Jing didn't speak, unlike the women in the palace, Tong Wan'er, a straightforward and unpretentious woman, was the elder he recognized.As for those in the palace, they are just actors wearing masks.

"Father, it's a good thing you came here today, and we can go to the Hundred Flowers Festival tomorrow." Chu Tianhan poured tea for Tong Wan'er and Chu Xiuwen and said, "If we come tomorrow, maybe we won't be able to see it." What is it that you worship your wife?"

"That's right, we were in a hurry. In the morning, your father and I rode over by ourselves, and there were guards behind us. They all stayed behind. It should be tomorrow morning." Tong Wan'er Said triumphantly while drinking tea.

Several people chatted and laughed at Yanyan in the room for a while, and then a servant brought the food.
