good season

Chapter 41: Blue Background and White Flowers (Part )
"It was originally brought from Wu. I heard that many families in Wu have looms, and the women in Wu can spin yarn and weave cloth."

As soon as the words came out, something flashed through Zhao Shiqing's mind. She was confused for a moment. It was strange. She didn't even know what a loom looked like, but why did she have an inexplicable sense of familiarity?
She had never been to Wu. This was the first time she had left Liang since she was a child.

"Yes, the women in Wu are not only good at spinning and weaving, but they are also beautiful. The former concubine Wang in our mansion was from Wu." Ling Bo said.

When Zhao Shiqing heard Ling Bo talking about Concubine Wang, she thought of Concubine Liu who had been harmed by Nie Qionghua. The sense of familiarity just now disappeared, and she didn't care.

The master and servant chatted and laughed, each carrying a bamboo basket, and went out shopping.

As they strolled along, they arrived at Wangfuqian Street.

In Liangdi, even before you get close to the palace, you can feel the difference here. It is especially clean, especially rich, and even the flowers are more beautiful than those in other places.

However, Wangfuqian Street is no different from other streets in the capital. If there must be a difference, it is that compared to many places, it is older, more depressing, and quieter.

Like a gorgeous dress that has lost its luster and been eaten by moths.

Zhao Shiqing has checked and found that the Prince of Liang's Palace and the Prince of Beiyan's Palace are both located on the street in front of the palace.

The Palaces of the Prince of Shu, the Prince of Chu and the Prince of Fujian occupied the Central Street of the Palaces.

The back streets of the palaces are the Palace of Prince Jin, the Palace of Prince Nangui and the Palace of Prince Wu.

The master and servant walked around the area and then headed towards the inn.

As he was walking, Zhao Shiqing suddenly stopped.

Someone is following her!
She looked around and saw a face that looked familiar.

She had seen this man outside Wisteria Villa that day.

This man was following Xiao Zhen at the time. He was tall and strong, but had an innocent look on his face. Zhao Shiqing was deeply impressed by him.

This is Xiao Zhen’s man!

When the man saw that she had discovered him, he stopped hiding and turned around and walked into a grocery store.

After waiting for a while, Zhao Shiqing followed with Ling Bo. The man held a can of fermented tofu in his hand and asked the owner, "I heard that two years ago, there was a shop nearby where an adulterer poisoned and killed nine people in a family. It seemed to be a grocery store, right?"

Voiceover: This must be your home.

The grocery store owner looked around, where was the broom? He was about to hit someone!

"That's a tea shop in Baishiqiao. We don't have one here. Do you want to buy it or not? If not, get out!"

Zhao Shiqing.
She narrowed her eyes and turned to leave with Ling Bo.

The boss looked up and saw two customers turning around and leaving. He became even angrier and yelled at Da Zhuang, "One more thing, that tea shop is in Baishiqiao, which is far away from us!"

He snatched the fermented tofu from Da Zhuang's hand and said, "I don't want to do business with you anymore. Get out of here quickly. Go, go, go!"

Zhao Shiqing and Ling Bo called two sedan chairs, saying they were going to Baishiqiao and the other to a tea shop. The sedan chair bearers didn't even ask which tea shop they were from, they just dropped them off in front of Su's Tea Shop.

Zhao Shiqing got off the sedan chair and looked up at the tea shop in front of him. It was a two-story building with a plaque with gold characters on a black background. The front of the door was cleaned tidy. It looked like a nice shop and did not look like a murder scene at all.

There was a middle-aged uncle sitting at the door. His clothes were washed white but very clean, his hair was combed sleekly, and he was holding a large palm leaf fan and leaning on a recliner. There was also a big yellow dog lying next to him. The man and the dog were leisurely and contented. Zhao Shiqing walked in. The big yellow dog looked up alertly. The uncle also saw Zhao Shiqing and stood up quickly: "A guest has arrived, a guest has arrived, welcome, do you two girls want to buy tea?"

Zhao Shiqing showed a sign: "I'm looking for Master Zhen."

This uncle is Su Datou, of course, his real name is Su Dahong.

Su Datou quickly took the sign, turned around and went upstairs, and soon came back, returned the sign to Zhao Shiqing, and respectfully welcomed her to the second floor.

This sign belongs to the Princess's Mansion. Xiao Zhen asked Prince Consort Xiao to give it to her, originally to allow her to move around in the capital more conveniently. However, the Princess's Mansion is now in the spotlight, and Zhao Shiqing is ready to return it.

She asked Ling Bo to stay. Ling Bo was very curious about this tea shop. Su Datou led Zhao Shiqing upstairs and did not return to the recliner. There were customers in the shop, and as the shopkeeper, he could not just leave the guests aside.

He picked up a feather duster and dusted the non-existent dust on the counter. Ling Bo asked, "Uncle, are you staying here at night too?"

Su Datou nodded: "Yes, I'm here all day."

"I heard that someone was killed here. Uncle, can you tell me about the murder?" Ling Bo said with a smile.

Su Datou suddenly became alert. Although he was not a witness to the murder, he was a victim. No one had more say than him.

In the shop in the afternoon, an adult and a child chatted about gossip.
Upstairs, Zhao Shiqing finally saw Xiao Zhen whom she hadn't seen for a long time.

After not seeing each other for many days, Xiao Zhen looked a little better. If he looked 70% like a ghost and 30% like a human before, now it is half and half, looking like a half-human, half-ghost creature.

Zhao Shiqing said, "I have been in the capital for two days and I have not seen your brother yet. He doesn't seem to be living in the princess's mansion."

It’s not that she doesn’t keep her word, but Xiao Yue is like a mysterious dragon that can’t be found.

Xiao Zhen also had a headache. Before going to Liangdi, he wrote a letter to Xiao Yue asking him to hide. Xiao Yue also assured him. Later, in order to save Jiang Ping and other three, Xiao Yue set fire to the mansion and disappeared after that.

Although Xiao Zhen knew that Xiao Yue must be hiding somewhere, his parents had already returned to the capital, but this kid had not shown up yet, so he was a little worried.

Xiao Yue lived to be thirty-three years old in his previous life, but there are many variables in this life, not to mention that Xiao Yue is only a child of twelve or thirteen years old.

Xiao Zhen said in a deep voice: "Second Miss, please take care of your own business first. I will contact you when I find my brother."

"Okay, I'm living in Youxiyingmen now, which is not far from the Imperial College. Oh, I think you already know that."

Xiao Zhen didn't say anything. He really didn't know where these people in Prince Liang's Mansion lived. Except for Zhao Shiqing and his servant, the other nine people had received special training, so it was not easy to track down their whereabouts.

Therefore, Xiao Zhen could only let Da Zhuang try his luck near Prince Liang's Mansion, and Zhao Shiqing really came.

Xiao Zhen recalled one thing and said, "Since he was a child, Prince Liang has had five imperial physicians. The one who served the longest was named Han Baochang. He was Han Yuanshi's cousin. He had been in and out of the Prince Liang's mansion for five years until he retired last year and was replaced by Imperial Physician Wu. Not long ago, Prince Liang fell ill again, and Imperial Physician Wu was dismissed and replaced by the current Imperial Physician Hu. After Han Baochang retired, he followed his son to Hoi An. As for Imperial Physician Wu, he is now sitting on the bench in the Imperial Hospital. He lives in Derong Hutong."

Zhao Shiqing stood up and said goodbye: "Thank you, Master Zhen. I won't disturb you from resting then."

After saying this, he left like a gust of wind.

Watching the blue and white flower disappear at the door, Xiao Zhen said to himself: "I'm leaving now, so what's the harm in talking a little more?"
