auspicious time has come

Chapter 53
"General Yin." Seeing Yin Haili whispering to the two soldiers in the outer corridor of the study, Heng Yu then saluted and asked: "I wonder if Master Hou is in the study?"

It was still early at this time, she purposely came here earlier, because she was afraid that Xiao Mu would have to go out temporarily, and it would not be appropriate to delay his business, if he hadn't arrived yet, it would be fine for her to wait.

"I'm here!" Yin Hai's complexion suddenly dawned, and he smiled brightly: "I wonder why the general came here so early today, because he was waiting for Painter Ji to come!"

He wanted to say something more, only to hear a clear cough full of warning coming from the study.

Yin Hai immediately shut up, turned sideways and made a "please" gesture towards Hengyu, and said with a smile: "Painter Ji, please come in."

After Hengyu stepped up the stone steps, Yin Hai opened the door of the study for her.

Heng Yu walked in and bowed to Xiao Mu, who was sitting upright behind the desk, and bowed his knees: "Master Hou——"

Xiao Mu looked at the other comb-back chair on the side of the desk, and motioned, "Sit down."

Heng Yu replied "Yes", stepped forward and sat down.

In this way, the two became sitting opposite each other, sharing a desk.

In Hengyu's line of sight, he saw that slender and powerful hand closed the official document at hand, and then pushed a stack of booklets and letterheads in front of her: "I have found people here for the past two years, and the information in it is complicated and trivial. , or mostly useless clues, it takes some thought to pick and judge—"

Hengyu nodded, saw the closed official document in his hand, and said: "I'll pick and choose, and I'll ask Lord Hou when I have any doubts, Lord Hou just handles official duties - if there is any inconvenience, I will move the things to the compartment Just look it up."

Xiao Mu glanced at her upon hearing this, and said, "There is no inconvenience at all."

As he spoke, he opened the folded document again.

Just now he closed it casually, it was his subconscious action——

These official documents are not confidential, and if they are confidential, they can be found everywhere in this study. If you really want to be on guard, you should keep people under your noses.

Yes, that's exactly what he intended.

Xiao Mu convinced himself, and turned his attention back to his official duties.

Heng Yu also raised her hand and picked up a booklet.

She didn't rush to look through them carefully, but first arranged the order of these booklets according to the date of the letterhead, and then classified them according to the source of the information.

Her movements were very light, so as not to disturb him, and she was very agile, as if she could make no mistakes at a glance. It took only a quarter of an hour to complete the order, and the originally complicated and chaotic information quickly became organized under her hands. .

Seeing it in Xiao Mu's eyes, a thought couldn't help appearing in his mind - he does things so clearly and clearly, and he is also intelligent and powerful. If Painter Ji is a man, he must try to recruit him as a staff member.

Of course, he didn't despise women, it's just that in the current situation, and there is a mother who has poured her own ecstasy soup here, even if he has such thoughts, he still has to worry about the girl's reputation.

Lord Xiao Hou, who always loves talents, said in his heart that it was a pity.

Hengyu had never seen the regret flashing in Master Xiaohou's eyes, looking through the old books, he saw something worth noting, after thinking for a moment, he subconsciously wanted to take notes.

She can't forget everything in her photograph, but she also has to write down each item so that she can sort it out later.

And just as she was about to raise her hand, a Zihao pen was handed to her——

When the girl took the Zihao with her slender hand, she belatedly raised her head and looked at the person who handed the pen.

The man stared at the official document without raising his head. After handing her the pen, he withdrew his hand to look at the document. There was no sign of distraction on his cold and serious face.

Hengyu wanted to thank him, but was afraid of disturbing him, so she quietly looked away and focused on writing.

The girl's posture of holding the pen is correct and pleasing to the eye. After taking off the fox fur, the lotus root pink sleeves are slightly rolled up, revealing a section of her bright wrist.

The picturesque young man is sitting in a chair, looking at a letter.

The earth dragon and the charcoal basin are burning in the study room, which is as warm as mid-spring. A yellow plum is inserted obliquely in the white jade bottle next to the desk.

After sitting at the desk for a while, Hengyu put down the Zihao brush in his hand, stretched his arms and stretched a little.

Xiao Mu, who didn't seem to pay attention to her, slightly bent his mouth almost imperceptibly.

After a while, he also put down the pen in his hand.

Someone came in and changed the tea.

Hengyu was not restrained, holding a cup of tea to moisten her throat.

"But what did you figure out?" Xiao Mu also reached out to serve tea.

"Master Hou can take a look first—" Heng Yu put down the teacup, and pushed the booklet she used to record towards Xiao Mu.

Xiao Mu held the teacup in one hand, and subconsciously reached for the booklet with the other. When his hand fell, it happened that the girl's soft and cool fingers slightly touched his slightly callused fingertips.

The touch was only for a moment, but Xiao Mu felt a strange feeling spread from the fingertips to the whole arm, and even all the limbs, and he could hear the sound of heartbeat.

This strange feeling is not the first time...

But both are from the same person.

Surprised in his heart, but nothing showed on the surface, Xiao Mu calmly picked up the booklet.

The handwriting on it is stretched but powerful, and it is pleasing to the eye, but Xiao Mu felt that his mind was dull and numb. He knew all those words, but he couldn't understand what they meant when they were lined up together!
Fortunately, this feeling like suffering from a dementia didn't last long, and he soon recovered.

The two talked about it in detail, analyzing many possibilities.

Finally, Heng Yu said: "I have already gone to my elder brother and Princess Yongyang to inquire about available connections, and I should get a reply soon."

During the four years when she was living abroad, she did not know how many open or hidden doors were found in her home and the princess's mansion, and how many dens of human traffickers she worked with the government to destroy. It can be said that she has profound experience——

When she was last year, she discussed with His Royal Highness and Shaoyan whether she could use this to help as many children who were separated from their families as possible.

She also made some preparations for this, so she was still organized at this time.

Xiao Mu said: "How many people are needed and how to arrange and transfer them? Painter Ji just ask."

Heng Yu nodded in response.

After the portrait is painted, what is needed most is manpower, and it is inevitable that people from the Marquis Mansion will be borrowed.

The two talked about some details and conjectures.

When another pot of tea was changed, Heng Yu looked at the person drinking tea with drooping eyes in front of him, and suddenly couldn't help asking: "Did Hou Ye ever go to the capital when he was young?"

Maybe it was the matter of Mrs. Qi that was solved together, maybe he saved her that night in the suburbs, or maybe it was the birthday banquet in the dining hall yesterday... After all kinds of getting along, they got to know each other a lot, so she is now I was able to ask out the doubts that I had kept when I met for the first time.

"Why do you ask?" Xiao Mu looked at her, but did not answer directly.

Heng Yu said frankly: "When I see Lord Hou's face is kind, I always feel that I have known each other—"

Xiao Mu held the tea cup tightly with his fingers.

　I yelled every day, asking for a monthly ticket, just asking for a monthly ticket for this month's new book issue, thank you readers! !
