As soon as the woman saw the money, she hurried to take it.He bit it twice with his teeth.She said with a smile on her face: "Okay, okay. Welcome, come back next time. If there is anything you want to know, I will tell you."

This made Qiu Ke stop again, turned around and asked curiously: "When I inquired about Mr. Zhou's residence just now, an aunt told me that they are brothers and sisters. Have they always lived here?"

Because of the money, the woman said kindly: "Although I have only been married for a short time. But according to the neighbors in the street, Mr. Zhou has lived here for six or seven years. I heard that Danmei lived here every After a year or two, it followed suit."

"That Danmei told me that he and Mr. Zhou are brothers and sisters, but Mr. Zhou never admitted it. But it seems that Danmei was her name when she was a maid in the mansion. She told me that her boudoir name seems to be Zhou Zi Tong. Judging from the names, the possibility of them being brother and sister is quite high."

"On weekdays, this girl is very warm to me. She often comes to me to show off her clothes and jewelry." Speaking of this, the woman couldn't help curling her lips.

She went on to say: "But the style is a bit similar to yours. But his material looks much better than yours. You said that you are also a little maid. Could it be that you all are uniform maid uniforms."

Qiu Ke nodded innocently.Then I saw the woman covered her mouth and raised her head and laughed: "Hahaha, I didn't know before, I thought she could make a lot of money. She came to me in maid clothes to show off. In the end, it was just someone else's It's just stuff. By the way, do you have anything else to ask?"

Qiu Ke thought for a while and asked, "How often does Dan Mei usually come? Also, does he bring or take anything away every time he comes?"

The woman thought for a while and said, "It's hard to say how often you come here. Sometimes you come every two or three days, and sometimes you come every seven or eight days. But nothing like this time. Ten days and a half... Oh, not ten days and a half. I feel like I haven't seen her for more than a month. It's still rare."

"If you want to say that every time he brings something, I really don't see him bring anything. But every time he leaves, I see him carrying a small cloth bag with a bulging inside. It packs a lot of things. But once I Seeing that she didn't wrap it properly, it fell loose on the floor. It looked like some books or something. I asked her once, and she told me that it was for his brother to sell. It was going to be exchanged for money. "

Qiu Ke continued to ask: "How is Mr. Zhou's character? My lady said that only good characters can make good characters."

The woman was probably a gossip, just happy and didn't care too much about Qiu Ke's question, she replied casually: "Of course Mr. Zhou's character is good. Usually there are men, women and children in our alley. They all come to Mr. Zhou to write a letter." Lian'er, write a letter or something."

Qiu Ke continued to ask: "Then besides me, there is no one else who often comes to Mr. Zhou's house to ask for calligraphy and painting?"

The woman shook her head and said, "You are the first one I came to ask for calligraphy and painting outside the alley. Usually, Danmei is the most frequent visitor. No matter how often you come, it is the people in this alley. Mr. Zhou wrote Good painting, and handsome, this man is also capable. Who in this alley doesn't want to come and take a second look. It's a pity, no one looks down on him." Said the woman Wanxi shook her head.

Qiu Ke thought about it, and felt that he didn't seem to have anything to ask.So he thanked the woman and turned to leave.The woman stood behind him.He said happily: "Little girl, come again next time."

Mo Zhan silently leaned against the wall and listened to the conversation between the two in the blind corner of the woman's sight, thinking in her heart: She and the young lady's guess is really right.It's just that Zhou Ziyao was the person behind the scene.It's just that Zhou Ziyao just wants to exchange books for some money this time?If it's just like this, why does Danmei still slander the girl outside?What good does it do him?
For a moment, Mo Zhan couldn't figure it out.So he followed Qiu Ke back to the carriage.

At this time in Ruiwenzhai, Wusheng stood in front of Shao Zhiyan with a booklet: "Master, this is the file of Zhou Ziyao that I can find. It says that he is a scholar of Changhe for 15 years." .But it seems that the supervisor is donated by the family. He never passed the boy's exam twice before. This year, Qiuwei won the Juren. But this seems to be his second exam."

Shao Zhiyan was reading a book, when he heard this, he looked up at Wusheng and said, "What's going on in his house?"

Wusheng opened the booklet, took a look, and said, "It is recorded in the book that both parents died. There is also a younger sister named Zhou Zitong."

Shao Zhiyan put down the book and reached out to ask for the brochure.Wusheng hurriedly handed the brochure to Shao Zhiyan with both hands.Shao Zhiyan took the booklet and flipped through it.Zhou Ziyao's introduction was simple and clear, it read: Zhou Ziyao, male, from Yunping.In the spring of the 14th year of Changhe, he received 500 taels of millet and was imprisoned.In 14, Changhe went to Beijing to find relatives but failed, so he temporarily lived in No. 210 Lane, 15 Jianwen Lane.In the 16th year of Changhe, there was a severe drought in Yunping. His parents fell ill and died, leaving his younger sister alone.In the [-]th year of Changhe, his younger sister Zhou Zitong was sent to the capital to live with her till now.

After reading the record, Shao Zhiyan frowned and said, "Did you meet his sister when you went to investigate?"

Wusheng grinned and said, "The owner of the bookstore he stayed at didn't know much about his background. He just heard from him that he passed the Juren exam this year. I went to his house to check and found no trace of the woman's long-term life."

"However, I ran into something interesting. Today, two little girls also went to inquire about him. But it seems that they are more inquiring about the relationship between a woman named Danmei and him. So I checked it out. This is the record of Danmei and his sister Zhou Zitong. It turns out that they are the same person."

"However, Zhou Ziyao didn't report the matter of his sister becoming a maid. He probably felt that it was shameful after all. When he asked his sister to become a maid, he changed her name on purpose. But Ren Yazi did not It's on record."

"Besides, this Zhou Ziyao doesn't have any legitimate business. He usually sells calligraphy and paintings at Feilai Bookstore. Or he writes couplets and letters for the residents in the alley in exchange for some money. And this Feilai Bookstore also he It’s not every day.”

"It's only in the past month or so that he has been selling calligraphy and paintings every day. On weekdays, he often associates with some Gongsheng in the Imperial College. And the money is quite generous. He often invites these Gongsheng to Weixianju and Shiweixuan to open private rooms for dinner. .”

"I asked shopkeeper Yu, and he still had some impressions of this Zhou Ziyao. Every time he went to Weixianju, he would book the room and specifications in advance. Five or sixty taels of silver was taken out without blinking his eyes. But the recent period I haven't seen him in Weixianju for a while. Shopkeeper Yu also heard from those Gongsheng that he hadn't seen him for a while. Some said that even if they saw him, they would shirk their business and would not come to eat with them. "
