Chapter 40 Geng Tie
Leigong Village is an hour's journey away from Yongzhou Mansion. Led by Steward Sun's carriage, a group of three people rushed to Yongzhou Mansion.

When we arrived at Yongzhou Mansion, it was lunch time.

Manager Sun led Xiao Luoyi, his wife and Taoist Wenxing into a large mansion surrounded by high blue brick walls.

When entering, Xiao Luoyi glanced at the two stone lions at the door: This house is quite elegant, and it really belongs to a wealthy family.

It was the head wife of the Sun family who came out. When she opened her mouth, she didn't ask them to do something immediately, but asked Guan Sun to arrange the meals in advance.

Steamed fish, braised pork, braised chicken...the dishes on the table show that they have been carefully prepared.

Xiao Luoyi and Chen Huaijin were not polite people, and Master Wenxing was even less so. The three of them huffed and ate all the food on the table, and then they went to the flower hall with the hot handkerchief handed over by the maid to wash their hands and face.

The lady in charge's surname was Hu, and Mrs. Hu's eyes fell more on Taoist Wenxing: After all, Taoist Wenxing was very famous.

Xiao Luoyi's eyes also fell on Taoist Wenxing: You ask.

Taoist Master Wen Xing blinked: Got it.

So Master Wenxing asked, "I wonder what Mrs. Hu wants me to find?"

Mrs. Hu looked embarrassed, and dismissed the maids and servants, leaving only a close woman. The woman then spoke: "My eldest lady is engaged to someone, and now the wedding invitation given to us by the other party has disappeared. I have searched everywhere and can't find it... …”

Geng post?

Taoist Wenxing and Xiao Luoyi looked at each other, both a little surprised: How could this thing disappear?
Taoist Master Wen Xing asked cautiously: "Where was it placed before? Have you ever thought of other ways to find it?"

The mother-in-law started, and then simply said: "All the trustworthy maids in the yard have searched everywhere, but they really can't be found. They have interrogated and asked... but they can't be found. There is really nothing we can do. I just thought of inviting Taoist priest to come."

"Can't you ask the other party to make up for it?" Taoist Master Wenxing knew the importance of Geng Tie, and it was used in the ceremony before the two parties got married.

"This... is just inconvenient." The mother-in-law was coy and refused to explain thoroughly.

It's hard to report this kind of thing to the official, right? !
Wenxing was confused and subconsciously looked at Xiao Luoyi.

Xiao Luoyi thought for a while: "Where is the box where the Geng Tie was stored?"

The woman nodded quickly and turned around to find the box.

It is a beautifully carved huanghuali wood box. At first glance, you can tell that you attach great importance to this Geng Tie.

Xiao Luoyi didn't answer and asked Wenxing to divine first.

After asking the horoscope, he looked stunned: "I can't tell! Miss Xiao, look..."

Xiao Luoyi calculated with his fingers and said with a sullen face: "The secret of heaven is covering it up. The person who took the Geng Tie used mystical means to cover up his whereabouts. You need to tell the truth, otherwise we can't help you with this matter."

Mrs. Hu's expression changed, and she exclaimed in surprise: "What did you say? Did the other party use Xuanmen methods?"

Xiao Luoyi nodded without saying anything, just looking at Mrs. Hu.

"This..." The mother-in-law also looked at Mrs. Hu in embarrassment.

Mrs. Hu was silent for a while, then sighed and made up her mind: "If this matter is not resolved, the elder sister will be delayed later. Let's talk."

This time it was Mrs. Hu who spoke personally.

It turns out that Mrs. Hu has a legitimate daughter named Sun Xueyao. When she was young, she got married to Peng Shuan, the son of Peng Shouliang, the mayor of Songfeng Town at that time. Who knows that after the engagement, Peng Shouliang had some unknown luck and unexpectedly... By mistake, a nobleman from the capital was saved.

Thanks to the support of noble people, Peng Shouliang became the prefect of Yongzhou in just ten years!

The Sun family is naturally happy: by marrying the magistrate, their business will be much easier in the future.

Over the years, the prefect has indeed provided many conveniences for the Sun family's business. The Sun family has accumulated a lot of wealth and has become one of the top three wealthy households in Yongzhou Prefecture.

And because of the support of the prefect, no one dared to make trouble behind his back.Seeing that my daughter was getting older and her wedding was on the agenda, I had to take out the original engagement letter and prepare for the wedding. Only then did I realize that the original engagement letter was missing!

The Sun family was extremely anxious at that time!
What was originally a sure thing, now suddenly lost the Geng Tie. If this matter reaches the ears of the prefect Peng Shouliang, who knows what he will think? !

Because of this relationship, the Sun family did not dare to report it to the official, so they had to investigate in their own house.

But after searching again and again, I couldn't find out who did it!
The Sun family also invited Taoist priests nearby to perform hexagrams to check the location. After much trouble, they couldn't find it.

Seeing that the other party was going to come to their door in six days, the Sun family had no choice but to grit their teeth and go ask Taoist Master Xing.

Who would have thought that even if you ask Taoist Master Xing, you won't be able to find it!

Xiao Luoyi thought for a while: "If you want to find this Geng Tie, it's not impossible, but I need to meet the eldest lady of your family."

Mrs. Sun looked at Taoist Wenxing: "This Madam Xiao..." Is she reliable?
Taoist Master Wen Xing looked serious: "Ms. Xiao is someone that all my masters respect."

Ask Taoist Master Xing?
Priest Guangyan? !
This is amazing!
Mrs. Sun's eyes immediately changed when she looked at Xiao Luoyi, with awe in her eyes.

This matter is easy to handle. Xiao Luoyi is also a woman. Mrs. Sun immediately stretched out her hand and signaled: "Ms. Xiao, please."

This is to lead Xiao Luoyi to his daughter's yard.

Xiao Luoyi asked Chen Huaijin and Taoist Wenxing to wait here before following Mrs. Sun inside.

Sun Xueyao's yard was very exquisite, and she was obviously very favored. After entering the yard, the maid led Xiao Luoyi in. Xiao Luoyi saw a little girl who was exquisite from head to toe.

Her hair is really as fine as her toes.

The little girl walked like a weak willow supporting the wind. She walked over and saluted Xiao Luoyi.

Xiao Luoyi clicked his tongue in his heart: This is the rich lady!Look at this move...

Fortunately, I don't have to pay attention to the rules in every move, otherwise... I would be suffocated to death!

After sitting down, Xiao Luoyi asked about the situation again.

Sun Xueyao looked at her mother.

Mrs. Hu signaled: "Say it again to Mrs. Xiao."

Sun Xueyao then said it again, which was no different from what Mrs. Hu and the old woman said.

However, Xiao Luoyi counted with his fingers and his expression became solemn: "Miss Sun, do you have anything to say to me in private?"

Sun Xueyao looked confused: "What?"

Xiao Luoyi looked serious: "If you have something to say to me in private, let them all go out and you can tell me again. If not, then I will tell you later, so don't regret it."

As soon as he said this, Sun Xueyao's face changed: "You...what did you say? I don't understand."

But it was still obvious that she was a teenage girl whose expression suddenly changed.

Mrs. Hu naturally saw it, and her expression changed: "Damn girl, are you hiding something from mother? This is a big deal, don't be confused!"

Xiao Luoyi smiled and said nothing, took a sip of tea.

Sun Xueyao met her mother's gaze, hesitated for a moment, and then put on an aggrieved expression: "Mom, I really didn't do anything."

Did nothing?
With a little spiritual power on his fingertips, Xiao Luoyi drew a finding charm in the air and clicked it on the huanghuali wooden box that his mother-in-law put on the table.

Then Xiao Luoyi smiled and looked at Mrs. Hu: "Mrs. Hu, I can help you find this thing, but I want 1000 taels of silver, and I have a condition..."
