Jiaohua

Chapter 173 Drink This
Really, I don't know much about this little girl of unknown origin, otherwise Mr. Yan Hui would be willing to use Qingque Pavilion's relationship and even find her a job with five liang of silver a month.

In this world, it is really good to have so much money.

The little girl smiled, opened the bag beside her, and took out a small object from it.

Mr. Yan Hui turned his eyes and saw that it was a palm-sized wooden box, which was not painted, and the wood on the outside was still a little rough.

Xia Zhaoyi took a small wooden stick and gently poked it into the inconspicuous hole at the top of the small box.

The small box was like a magic trick, and six or seven hidden boxes popped up around it in an instant.

Mr. Yan Hui was stunned, looked at the box, and then looked up at the girl.

"I made it today. It's a small mechanism." Xia Zhaoyi put down the small wooden stick. "Sir, you can check it. I don't use any nails, but you may get stuck with your hands carefully."

Mr. Yan Hui raised his hand to pick up the wooden box. The workmanship was very fine, the edges of the wood were cut evenly, and the joints were all made of mortise and tenon.

"You did it?"

The girl didn't answer, and took out another object from the bag.

Mr. Yan Hui looked at it, it was a music score.

He stretched out his hand to pick it up. It looked a little old on the outside, but after opening it, he found that it was new. The further back, the newer the paper.

"There is only one day, I don't have enough time to make it, and I don't have enough materials, so I can only make half of it," Xia Zhaoyi said, "However, I will not do such fake things in the future."

"So, you just want me to see that you have such a skill?" Mr. Yan Hui raised his head.

"Do you believe me, sir?"

Mr. Yan Hui frowned, a little shocked in his heart, and couldn't find words for a moment.

"Then, sir, take a look at this again." Xia Zhaoyi lifted the small bag, "However, I'm afraid I might scare you."

"What is it?" Mr. Yan Hui looked, he didn't think there was anything in this world that could scare him.

"It's really helpless to make such a bad plan," Xia Zhaoyi said, taking out another small bag from the small bag, and said, "But who makes you think I'm small."

Mr. Yan Hui was looking curiously, but the next second he backed up abruptly: "You!"

The little girl came out holding a snake. The snake was too thick, and the snake was still moving, twisting and twisting, struggling desperately.

"I got rid of the fangs," Xia Zhaoyi said.

"Put it back quickly!" Mr. Yan Hui waved his hand and said.

Xia Zhaoyi laughed, and put the snake back.

Mr. Yan Hui made sure that the bag had been fastened firmly, so he took a breather and sat upright.

He looked at the girl again, and couldn't help but smile.

"Who taught you these?" Mr. Yan Hui asked.

"My master."

"Who is your master?"

Seeing that his complexion was not very good, Xia Zhaoyi said, "Mr. Yanhui, please calm down a little bit."

Mr. Yan Hui nodded, but couldn't help but glance at the girl.

There are too many geniuses in this world, and he has seen many of them, but this girl's calm appearance always makes him feel uncomfortable, and he always feels that such indifference and composure should only belong to him in this world. That woman, if other people have such an expression, I really don't like it.

Wushuang is the most valuable word in the world. It is true that the girl in front of me must not be able to do what she does at all, but Mr. Yanhui just feels that he is in a panic.

However, this kind of thinking is not very good, he feels that he is a little too narrow, after all, the girl in front of him is only a little tall.

"So you also have a master teaching you." Mr. Yan Hui said.

Xia Zhaoyi smiled, nodded and said, "Yes."

"Now I know that you have skills," Mr. Yan Hui's voice became slightly colder, "But those big orders are really not easy to accept, you should think clearly."

"I've figured it out."

Mr. Yan Hui glanced at the small bag containing the snake over there, got up and said, "Then follow me."

"Ah."

Xia Zhaoyi tidied up the things on the case and followed.

There are three buildings in Qingque Pavilion, the side door here is the southernmost one, and the front hall has three rooms opened up, which is very spacious and used to entertain diners on weekdays.

Mr. Yan Hui walked a little slowly, picked up a lamp at the corner, turned and went upstairs.

The big sleeves of the green robe enveloped the orange light, leaving only a very faint dim light for the girl following behind.

Going up to the second floor, a row of windows is open, and there is a pond behind. The night breeze brings coolness, accompanied by a faint scent of cinnamon.

When Xia Zhaoyi passed by, he turned his eyes and looked out the window.

Not tall enough to see the pond, but behind the house there is a big tree that fills the whole house, the shade of the tree is cast in by the moonlight, behind the branches, the moon is sparse, and the night is more peaceful.

Mr. Yan Hui stretched out his hand and pushed open a door, which creaked softly.

Xia Zhaoyi followed over the threshold.

"Just wait here." Mr. Yan Hui turned around and said.

Xia Zhaoyi nodded: "Okay."

Mr. Yan Hui left a candle on the table and went inside.

This is a small side hall, with a Taoist screen in front, embroidered with mountains, rivers and rivers, and there are many books around, the windows are closed tightly, and the room is full of ink fragrance.

Xia Zhaoyi sat down beside the table, looking at the flames dancing on the candles.

It took a long time before Mr. Yan Hui came out from inside.

Putting the small box on the table, he knelt down opposite Xia Zhaoyi, and said, "Ah Li, this is a bit out of order, but I saw that you have some relationship with me, so I brought you here. Now I will ask you first, Which orders can you accept, and which orders do you not want to touch?"

"Murder and arson, rape and looting, I definitely won't do it."

"Haha," Mr. Yan Hui smiled, "But my Qingque Pavilion has the most of these. What about the villains? Will you kill the villains?"

Xia Zhaoyi shook his head: "No, I'm not an executioner."

"Haha," Mr. Yan Hui laughed softly, pushed the small wooden box over, and said, "Apart from murder, arson, rape and looting, that's all that's left. Just take a look and take it if you think it suits you. I'll take it again." I'll show you the details, but I have something to say first, once you accept it, you have to do it, I, Qingque Pavilion, is not a place where I can come or leave whenever I want."

"I know, sir." Xia Zhaoyi said.

The lock of the wooden box had been unlocked, and she raised her hand to open the lid, and there were rolls of flower notes inside.

Xia Zhaoyi took out a roll and rolled it out slowly. He was looking for his own flesh and blood, and the reward was 500 taels.

Xia Zhaoyi handed the flower note to Mr. Yan Hui: "That's it."

Mr. Yan Hui glanced lightly and said, "Do you want to pick it up?"

"Ah."

"This is a big family, and what they are looking for is an illegitimate child. Once this kind of thing is spread, the reputation will be ruined and it will be extremely ugly."

"I know, I won't say."

Mr. Yan Hui smiled: "Drink this."

He took out a blue and white porcelain vial.

"Drink it and accept the order. I will tell you which big family it is and the detailed clues."
