Chapter 38 Portrait
Mrs. Huo San showed her iconic gentle smile, and hurriedly greeted the two of them to sit in the pavilion.

Huo Erye waved his hand and ordered people to put all the refreshments under the grape arbor, then got up and walked down the steps, sat down on the stone bench casually, and said to Bai Zeqing, "Are you full?"

Bai Zeqing had to eat enough, so he followed Huo Erye to sit under the grape arbor.The maidservant put the charcoal stove back on, and handed the hand stove to the two of them, and then backed away.Only the personal maid still followed Huo Erye one step at a time.

Mrs. Huo San smiled helplessly, motioned Zhou Qian and the little girl to sit down, and said, "Are you hungry? Eat." Then she said to the maid: "Children can't drink, warm some goat's milk for them."

"This pavilion is really good." Zhou Qian was already hungry, so he praised politely, then broke off a piece of the ancient building and handed it to the little girl, and then broke off a piece to eat. The sub tasted wonderful.

These days, the little girl hangs herself with gruel every day, and has not known the taste of meat for many days. At this time, after eating a piece, she looked at Mrs. Huo San timidly. Eat on hand.

Mrs. Huo San asked softly, "Is it delicious?"

"Yeah!" The little girl looked at Mrs. Huo San with flickering eyes and nodded, then lowered her head and began to gnaw again.

Mrs. Huo San touched her head and said, "Don't worry, eat slowly, there are plenty."

Zhou Qian stopped after eating a piece of ancient building in his hand, and said with some embarrassment: "I'm sorry." He couldn't help but look in the direction of the grape rack.I saw Huo Erye and Bai Zeqing talking, but I couldn't hear what was said.

……

Bai Zeqing has revealed all the suspicious things in the magistrate's suicide case.

In fact, all she can find out is that she guessed that the prefect's death was not seven days ago and that there must be something wrong with the clean man.For specific matters, news from the Huo family is needed.

"I'm a businessman." Huo Erye took a sip of his tea and looked at her with some teasing eyes.

Bai Zeqing finally understands that a businessman seeks profit, so he is asking "Why should I help you?"!

The most frightening guess for her is that she needs more benefits for Huo Erye than for giving herself to the government.

Although it is not difficult for the Huo family to give her a clean identity, let alone hide her, but harboring imperial criminals is also risky.

For businessmen, it's not too early if there is no profit.

Bai Zeqing looked at Second Master Huo covering his mouth and coughing lightly. Suddenly, a flash of inspiration flashed in his mind. He thought of Man Tang, who was full of walls in Tingquan Temple, and the astrology fortune-telling of the mountain doctor left by Master before he left. He tentatively asked, "Second Master? Would it be convenient for me to check the pulse?"

"Presumptuous!" the maid immediately scolded softly.

"Ah."

Bai Zeqing clearly saw Huo Erye sneer with the corner of his mouth pulled.She also knew that it was impossible for people to believe that a thirteen-year-old girl like her could have any extraordinary medical skills.

The Huo family is not short of money, and the family has even raised a retired imperial doctor to take care of Huo Erye. It is impossible for outsiders to treat him casually with his big toe.

Bai Zeqing also felt a little abrupt, so he temporarily gave up this idea.

She said to Huo Erye, "can you give me a pen and a piece of paper?"

Huo Erye also wanted to see what she wanted, so he motioned to the maid, who quickly walked out of the grape arbor, ordered the servant who was standing not far away, and after a while, presented the small case and put it on the grape arbor Next, the small case and the four treasures of the study are all available.

"Little girl, let's see what tricks you are up to." The maid Jiao snorted, and couldn't help but add, "Be careful, I will personally carry you to the government to exchange money."

Her voice was clear and loud, but it was heard by Huo Sanniang in the pavilion. Huo Sanniang leaned softly on the railing and said with a smile: "Banxia, ​​did my second brother cheat you again? Don't follow him, follow me Go to Panyue Tower, I will give you double the moon silver."

Ban Xia smiled and said: "Third Lady, let me go, but I dare not follow you! Who doesn't know that Third Lady loves the new and dislikes the old, and beauty and talent are always welcome. Follow you, but I don't know when I will fall out of favor!"

Huo Sanniang spat at her softly, and said: "You have a sharp mouth. Your second master spoils you, right? I don't want to find you a good wife at such an old age."

Ban Xia stomped her feet and said in embarrassment: "The third lady hasn't married yet, how dare the slaves marry? The third lady came back to find fault."

Huo Sanniang pointed at her from afar and scolded with a smile: "Come here, little hoof, see if I don't tear your mouth off!"

Ban Xia glared at her, poured tea for her second master, and stopped talking to Mrs. Huo San.

Bai Zeqing ignored them, quietly stood in front of the desk, closed his eyes and thought about what he saw when he followed Master that day.Open your eyes and pick up your pen.

A white drawing is done overnight.

Bai Zeqing picked up the paper, blew on the ink, and presented it to Second Master Huo.

The painting on the paper is the timid Jingren at the door of the wing room that day, who seemed to be terrified.

Bai Zeqing said: "Now the key point of this case is still this person. He arrived at Tingquan Temple very suddenly, and he was the first person to find the hanging beam of the magistrate, and then disappeared inexplicably."

Looking at the lifelike portrait on the paper, Huo Erye couldn't help squinting slightly.

Ban Xia let out a "huh" and said to Second Master Huo, "Second Master, isn't this the man who shivered by the big locust tree that day?" She looked at Bai Zeqing in disbelief, and said, "You little girl Ma'am, there is something."

Mrs. Huo San had already walked down the steps curiously, looked closely at the painting, then at Bai Zeqing, and sighed: "You painted it? Are you still the girl from the Bai family who climbed the rockery and climbed the locust tree?"

As he spoke, he pulled Bai Zeqing in front of him, looked him up and down, and asked softly: "I ask you, would you like to go to Panyue Tower with me, just like you, with this painting skill, follow me for half a year, Practice your posture and dance steps, the next selection of buildings and boats, the oiran must be you!"

The corners of Bai Zeqing's mouth twitched, and he remained silent.

Ban Xia is right, this Mrs. Huo San simply likes to poach people's corners everywhere, and if there is something she likes, she wants to get Panyue Tower.

She bowed slightly and stepped back half a step, ignoring Mrs. Huo San's invitation, and said directly to Second Master Huo, "I wonder if Second Master can get the autopsy transcript made by you?"

Just as he was talking, a middle-aged man who seemed to be in charge had already walked in.He saluted first, then leaned over to Huo Erye and whispered a few words in Huo Erye's ear.

Before he finished speaking, Second Master Huo covered his mouth and coughed anxiously.Ban Xia hurried over to help him pat his back.The steward took half a step back and stood bowed.

"What's the matter?" Mrs. Huo San hurriedly served hot tea to the second brother.

Second Master Huo waved his hand, stood up and pointed to Bai Zeqing, then turned and walked out.Ban Xia and the steward followed closely.

Mrs. Huo San hurriedly nodded to Bai Zeqing, and said: "There must be something urgent, hurry up and follow." Seeing Bai Zeqing looking into the pavilion, Zhou Qian was also standing in the pavilion watching with a slightly anxious expression. she.

Mrs. Huo San said: "Don't worry, your two children, as long as they are in Huo's house, I will guarantee that they will be fine."

"Thank you!" Bai Zeqing nodded, and started to chase after Huo Erye.
