Chapter 34: Lost in vain
  An exquisite and gorgeous carriage suddenly flashed in her mind, with a wooden sign hanging on it, just like the official carriages she had just seen passing by her junior sister's house, with the word "zhou" clearly engraved on it.

"I remember that a carriage from the Zhou family did enter Changning. The driver's accent didn't sound like he was from Changning."

Jiang Yaoxi held up her face and was very distressed. Why didn't she think of it at the time?

"Xiaojiu, Zhou is a common surname. There is more than one family named Zhou in Beijing? Let alone a woman named Zhou. This mission of your senior sister is worrying! Worrying!"

"Senior Sister, although Zhou has a common surname, Mr. Zhao's official position is not small even in the capital, so it may be a bit difficult to find all the official ladies with the sixth grade or above, but it is not difficult to find the official ladies with the surname Zhou. .”

The city of Changning was rich in silk, and officials from the Ministry of Revenue often went to Changning to select silk supplies for the palace.

She remembered that she had heard her mention it when she was chatting with the Sixth Princess in the palace a few days ago. Zhou Nanyi, the daughter of Lord Zhou of Hubu, had made good friends with her. She said that she would be able to go to Changning City to see the silk in person in a few days, and then she would be the one for the Sixth Princess. The princess brought back some more.

Then this Zhou family is most likely the Zhou family that Sixth Senior Sister mentioned.

Jiang Yaoxi looked at Wen Jiu's eyes and seemed to have an idea.

"What did Junior Sister think of?"

"I know who the Zhou family is that senior sister is talking about."

Wen Jiu quickly told Jiang Yaoxi, "Sister, I want to say it again, this is the capital, and my character is that of a weak young lady who cannot take care of herself. You are my distant cousin, so you must not expose it."

She was still a little uneasy. After all, she didn't know this senior sister's style of doing things. The punishments she received from her master were mostly for a reason.

Jiang Yaoxi's eyes were unwavering, and she said firmly: "Don't worry, in our line of work, there is no acting skill!"

When Wen Jiu heard what she said, he could only calm down first.

She opened the door and called the boy at the door, "Let Banxia and Zisu come."

"Yes, girl." The boy responded and left.

Without the time to make a cup of tea, Zisu and Pinellia ternata were standing in the room.

"Zisu, please help me immediately send a greeting note to Miss Zhou Nanyi from Mr. Zhou's family in the household department."

"Girl, do you know her?"

In Zi Su's knowledge, she never knew that her girl had any kind of relationship with Miss Zhou.

"Ah" Wen Jiu was speechless, "Of course we have some friendship, right? She is good friends with the princess, and I am the sixth princess's playmate, so why don't we count as acquaintances? Hahaha."

Wen Jiu smiled a little awkwardly, and even Jiang Yaoxi frowned and lowered her head.

"I'm afraid the girl has forgotten that the Crown Princess will hold a flower viewing party in a few days, and Miss Zhou will also come there." Ban Xia reminded her timely.

"Is there another flower viewing party?"

How many flower viewing feasts are there in Beijing? Wen Jiu was dumbfounded.
  "The girl was in poor health before, so she answered all the invitations. Now that the girl is well, there are naturally more invitations." Zi Su said with a smile.

"And last time we were admiring chrysanthemums, this time we were admiring plum blossoms, and then there will be plum blossoms at Mrs. Li's house that only bloom in late winter."

Wen Jiu: "."

After Zi Su closed the door and retreated, Jiang Yaoxi glanced at Wen Jiu and said abruptly: "I don't think the walls in this courtyard are high. Let's go together in the evening. Don't wait for a banquet."

Wen Jiu gritted his teeth: "Okay."

As night fell, flickering candle flames were lit everywhere in Zhou Mansion.

"It's a good time to come out at this time. If Miss Zhou comes out, there will definitely be a shadow. Then we will subdue the evil ghost and leave gracefully." Jiang Yaoxi and Wen Jiu hid on the rockery in Zhou Nanyi's courtyard, their eyes fixed. Staring straight at her wing.

"Sister, I put it lightly. This possessed ghost is the most cunning and difficult to catch among all ghosts. If it keeps changing people to possess it, it will definitely take a lot of effort, otherwise you won't be able to chase it to the capital."

Wen Jiu didn't dare to take it lightly. This was the Zhou Mansion, and there were servants and guards walking around everywhere. If there were some noise, it would definitely attract attention. By then, he would be caught instead of catching the ghost.

The two waited for a long time, but neither saw Zhou Nanyi's person or even his shadow. They only saw the maid carrying toiletries coming in and out.

"Isn't she going to sleep?" Jiang Yaoxi wondered, the night market in Beijing is so bustling, how could anyone be ready to take a rest at this hour?

"I look like."

"No, we can't tear down this wall in vain."

As Jiang Yaoxi spoke, she was about to go around to the other side of the rockery and climb onto the roof, intending to lift off the tiles to see what was going on inside.

"Senior sister, how about we?" Just as Wen Jiu was about to stop Jiang Yaoxi, he heard the sound of the door opening.

The two quickly held their breath and hid behind the rockery.
  "Why do I feel like the lady has changed back?"

"Yes, it seems that I went to the Sixth Princess yesterday, and today she seems to have changed back to the young lady she was before."

It was the two maids who had just brought in the water.

Wen Jiu frowned and looked at Jiang Yaoxi silently, both of them looking thoughtful.

Did you go to the palace and change back?
  That is to say, the evil thing had indeed possessed Zhou Nanyi before, causing her to behave differently from before.

And she took the opportunity to enter the palace and met the Sixth Princess. Naturally, she abandoned Zhou Nanyi's body and left. In terms of status, who could compare with the Sixth Princess Si Huai'an who is now so favored and honored?
  If so, wouldn't there be chaos in the palace?
  Just in case, the two of them finally climbed up to Miss Zhou's roof and secretly opened the tiles.

Sure enough, Qian Xiaoxiao is no longer with Zhou Nanyi.
  Early the next morning, Wen Jiu sent someone to send a greeting card to the palace. The reason was that his cousin had found many strange toys from outside the capital and wanted to give them to the sixth princess to enjoy.

As expected, the sixth princess directly rejected Wen Jiu's invitation.

She leaned thoughtfully on the swing in the courtyard, "A few days ago, you invited me to the palace to choose jewelry, but today you rejected my invitation without any reason?"

I'm afraid this "Sixth Princess" doesn't even know who she is, let alone receiving her. Even if she met on the road, she probably wouldn't recognize her.

"If it's the one from the Qian family, I will naturally reject you without any reason."

Jiang Yaoxi had already concluded that the possessed ghost must have slipped into the palace. It was true that he still wanted something he could not get in life.

When I catch her, I have to burn down a few palaces for her to live in peace.

Wen Jiu sighed. How could he enter the palace without the summons from the Sixth Princess?
  "Do you have a way to enter the palace?" Jiang Yaoxi couldn't wait.

"It's a bit troublesome." Wen Jiu frowned and shook his head.

"Aren't you the Taifu's daughter?"

"Guess why only the princess lives in the palace, but I can only live in the Taifu's Mansion?"

Wen Jiu looked at Jiang Yaoxi, his eyes blinking, looking innocent.

It was obvious that the Tutor's daughter was not worthy either.

 Catch a new ghost! ! ! Oh, by the way, this author is one year older again~ I hope we can be smooth and happy every day~
