Reborn girl from poor family

Chapter 7 Life is like a drama and acting skills (2)

Gao Jun dragged Su Ya to find Lao Zhou. Lao Zhou later realized that he seemed to have made a wrong arrangement, so he carefully apologized to Gao Jun, and then explained in detail the reason why he hired Su Ya to help clean up, and why he temporarily asked Su Ya to send bonsai.

I told you.

Gao Jun's face was serious and he gave a serious warning: "Young Master is recovering from his illness, and irrelevant people should not enter Huaiyue Xuan."

Su Ya, who was irrelevant, lowered her head, rubbed her arms and remained silent.

From a tall perspective, only her raised head was visible, and a pink birthmark on her cheek was faintly revealed, extending from the temples to her cheeks. As if feeling his appraising gaze, Su Ya's head was raised lower.

Gao Jun returned to Huaiyuexuan. When he heard that Su Ya was the female thief who kidnapped people, he was shocked from ear to ear: "This is not the same person as what Lao Zhou said! Did she sneak into Zhou's house with some intention?

?”

Whether there is any intention or not, we will know after checking.

The two were well-trained and worked separately. At night, they checked Su Ya thoroughly.

"Su Ya is seventeen years old this year. Her family used to be a military household. Her father was a small leader in the cavalry army. In the 18th year of Chenghua, when the Yellow River burst its banks, he died trying to save people, leaving behind him a widowed mother and two orphaned children.

He recently moved out from the military camp in Qingjiangpu and is currently renting a private residence in Xiuyi Lane.

In the room, which is separated by a wall from Zhou's house, Su Ya works as a scriptwriter in a local private printing office called Tianhui Bookstore, specializing in telling scripts for the female relatives of various houses, and earns a living by selling some of Su's mother's embroidery.

"Xu Yuan stood by the desk, studying ink and reporting at the same time.

Gao Jun was responsible for investigating in the house. He nodded after hearing this: "This is similar to what Lao Zhou said. Her life experience is quite pitiful. Then how did she get into trouble with the Chunxing Opera Troupe?"

"The story-telling novels in Huai'an are more popular than elsewhere. This Su Ya is well-known and good at telling legends. She is highly recognized by the women's families in various provinces. The Chunxing Class feels that they have been robbed of business, so they want to take it out on her. It is said that they have been warned before

I visited Su Ya several times, but the girl didn't take her seriously, so the people from the Chunxing Opera Troupe became malicious and planned to take advantage of the chaos at the end of the year to kidnap her and sell her to a foreign brothel."

"Hiss! Selling a good girl to a brothel? What a beast!" Gao Jun took a breath, "You dared to lie to me yesterday and said you just wanted to arrest someone. You deserve to be hung in the wind and frozen all night! No, you should be castrated directly... Don't

Stare at me, I don’t talk like this outside, go on and tell me: How did she get involved with Zhou Zhai? Let’s see if what we found out is the same."

Xu Yuan persisted and glared at Gao Jun again. Seeing that the master who lowered his head to write did not speak, he continued to report.

"Two and a half years ago, Sun Po, the old nanny in the house, fell down at the fish market by the canal. Su Ya brought her back. Su Ya took care of Sun Po after she fell. When Lao Zhou and the others saw this

The girl is kind-hearted, hard-working and poor. In addition, Sun Po's health has deteriorated since she fell down, and several old servants also need help, so she was asked to come over and help with odd jobs for an hour every day, and she has been helping until now."

"Well, Lao Zhou and Grandma Sun said the same thing. Su Ya is a kind-hearted girl."

"Looking at the time, she has been helping Zhou Zhai for more than two years, so there is not much suspicious... But an ordinary woman cannot easily bring down five big men, and even tie them up and hang them on the bridge railing.

I didn't find out the origin of her martial arts training. Where did this orphan girl learn martial arts?"

Gao Jun was startled: "Isn't her father a soldier? It makes sense to teach her some kung fu while he is still alive."

"How many martial arts skills can be practiced in the military camp? Su Ya lost her father when she was twelve years old. Even though her father was not an ordinary soldier, but a martial arts master who had not been doing well, the soldier had to spend all the time soaking in the canal. How could he have time? Studying at home?”

"Maybe Su Ya is gifted and a martial arts prodigy?"

"...You really dare to think about it, but it's a pity that you didn't think of it on the right path. The point is - when she is walking outside, she pretends to be completely incompetent in martial arts. At least you didn't notice it when you arrested her yesterday." Xu Yuan didn't notice at all. He gave Gao Jun a stingy roll of his eyes.

"...This woman is indeed cunning!" Gao Jun was frustrated, so he quickly found a way to flatter his master: "Fortunately, the master is very aware of everything, and he saw through her disguise with a casual glance yesterday."

At this time, Shen Huai had finished writing the letter in his hand. He held the letter with his slender fingers and shook it dry. After folding it, he stuffed it into a blank envelope. He melted the wax himself and dripped it on the seal. When the wax was about to dry, he took out a piece of paper. Stamped with a small seal.

"It is not easy for an orphan and a widowed mother to make a living. Some thoughts of self-preservation are not a problem. Her father can sacrifice his life to save others, and she herself is eager to help others. She remembers to leave a trace when punishing the troupe. The family tradition is probably not bad, so let's leave it for now. It doesn't hurt to take a look." He was multitasking. At this moment, he went over the reports of the two attendants in his mind and gave instructions.

"yes."

Shen Huai pondered for a moment and then said: "As for the origin of martial arts... She comes in and out of Zhou's house frequently. Have the three old servants of Zhou's house checked her out?"

Gao Jun quickly replied: "Old Zhou and Zhou Dazhu are uncles and nephews, and they are both children of the Zhou family. Grandma Sun was the wet nurse selected from Zhuangzi thirty years ago for the eldest daughter of the Zhou family, and later she went to Yangzhou as a dowry with Miss Zhou. , Miss Zhou passed away within two years, leaving no heirs behind, so she returned to Huai'an. Since her family had suffered a flood and no one was left, the Zhou family remembered her dedication to the eldest daughter and allowed her to stay and provide for her in her old age. I have observed these three people one by one, and I haven’t seen any abnormalities so far.”

It sounded like nothing unusual, so Shen Huai pointed to the letter and said to Xu Yuan: "Send it away."

Xu Yuan picked up the letter, but hesitated for a moment: "Sir, if we send this letter, will our life in Huai'an be peaceful?"

Gao Jun also looked at Shen Huai with concern, expecting him to confirm.

"Unless I am completely crippled, how can I have peace?" Shen Huai had a half-smiling look on his face, his eyes darkened, "That idiot Zhao Qing was lucky and couldn't wait to do something evil in the military camp. He probably thought that I He is powerless and has no basis, so there is nothing he can do about him. If I swallow this loss, I will probably die with my eyes closed. It will be a disaster if I keep him, let the people in Beijing deal with him, and you can make time to find Liu Sandian. "

"Yes! At this time of the Chinese New Year, Liu Sandian will not stay in the deep mountains and old forests. His subordinates will dig him out even if they dig three feet into the ground in Huai'an City!"

Xu Yuan carefully put the letter into his arms, and told Gao Jun to take good care of his master, then decisively rushed into the night to look for him.

Gao Jun went to close the door and turned back in surprise: "Sir, it's snowing."

The snow has fallen, and when it first wakes up the snow is not very heavy, but it is very suitable for the season.

Shen Huai seemed to be aroused in his thoughts. He walked slowly to the corridor and reached out to catch a few snowflakes.

Gao Jun followed behind, worried that he would catch a cold, but looking at Shen Huai's expression, he wanted to talk but didn't dare, so he had to mumble and carry the medicine jar to boil medicine again.

Zhang Shenmu prescribed this powerful medicine, which he had to take every three hours. Practice makes perfect, and Gao Jun finally learned how to control the heat. Shen Huai coughed up blood twice after taking it, and he felt much better. In addition, Gao Jun was in a special year this year. I didn’t dare to give any more advice.

In a small courtyard separated by a wall from Zhou's house, rice cake dough is fermenting in a steamer, and Mrs. Yan, who is thinking about getting up early tomorrow, is already asleep.

Su Ya walked out of the house quietly, jumped up on the wall, and crossed over the roof of Zhou's house.

The snowflakes fell on the tiles, which were a little slippery. Su Ya's soles accidentally slipped, and she immediately fell to the ground with a guilty conscience. After seeing that there was no movement around, she lightly touched the distance again.

Gao Jun had just returned from fetching water, and was surprised to see Shen Huai wave his hand to him, making a gesture not to follow him, and then tiptoeing a little under the corridor, the injured young man disappeared like a wisp of smoke. Snowy night.
