Hou Men Splendid

Chapter 98
Shao Ziyu and Lin Qingran did not go to other relatives to pay New Year's greetings after walking around Shao's house on the first day of the new year. Shao Ziyu would return to work in the Ministry of Criminal Justice on the eighth day of the new year, and had to be on duty on the seventh day of the new year. The carriage was full of things, the front ones had already set off, and the others were parked, waiting for Lin Qingran and the others to come out.

The nanny hugged Brother Bo who was tightly wrapped, and it was snowing lightly, so she opened an umbrella, Lin Qingran led Brother Han, and Shao Ziyu followed them out of the gate of the Shao Mansion.

The people in Shao's house, those who paid New Year's greetings, those who visited relatives, not many left, Shao Ziming hadn't gone out yet, sent them to the gate of Shao's house, watched them get into the carriage, and said goodbye to Shao Ziyu at the door.

Shao Ziming patted him on the shoulder, "Don't talk too much, I will have a chance to go to your place in the future, the road is slippery in snowy weather, be careful."

Shao Ziyu nodded, and finally got into the carriage, and soon these carriages disappeared from Shao Ziming's sight.

Maybe it was out of envy of them leaving, and the entanglement that he couldn't leave now, the smile on Shao Ziming's face was a little helpless.

Brother Bo woke up in the carriage here, no matter how thick the cushions of the carriage were, there would be vibrations, the little guy couldn't bear it, and faintly looked like he was about to cry again.

Lin Qingran nodded his nose, "It all came out of my stomach, your brother is much more peaceful than you." At that time, Brother Han was only a little over a month old and went to Pengcheng. There was no trouble with the changed boat, and now he just got into the carriage for a while and he couldn't stand it anymore.

As if he had a great opinion on Lin Qingran's words, when Brother Bo frowned, his mouth was about to cry.

Brother Han turned his head and gave him a look, why is his brother crying again.

The horse-drawn carriage ran a little slower in the snowy day, and arrived at the mansion in less than an hour. The newly hung plaque of the Shao Mansion showed a bright light in the white snowy day. After entering the gate, their house had already been tidied up two days ago. Mother Li and Mother Tian were busy setting up table candlesticks for worship, waiting for the time to burn incense and set off firecrackers.

Lin Qingran misses the past, and is also used to the layout of the Chenxiang Courtyard. The main house here has not changed much from that of the Chenxiang Courtyard, but it is a little bigger, and a small courtyard has been established independently.

After they moved out, there should be no Chenxiang Courtyard in the Shao Mansion, so Lin Qingran named the courtyard on the side of the main house Chen Xiangxie.

Brother Han wanted to live independently, so he was arranged in a yard next to Shen Xiangxie. Lin Qingran was afraid that he would not get used to it, so she asked the nanny, Mother Chu, to take him to Yicui Garden first to get familiar with the environment.

After getting Bo Geer settled down, Lin Qingran sat on the couch and looked around, only then did she feel that it was true, and sighed softly, "I finally moved out." She had been thinking about it for six or seven years.

Shao Ziyu hugged her, "This is our home." A real home doesn't belong to the Shaohou Mansion in the past or the current Shao's family, nor does it belong to others, it only belongs to their home.

This is a different kind of joy. Lin Qingran took his hand in her arms and looked at the yard outside the window, "When spring starts, in March, this yard will be full of rhododendrons." At that time, it must be beautiful here

The time is coming, and Mother Li came to remind them to go to the front hall to offer incense and worship. Brother Han seemed to be getting used to it very well. He followed his father to pay respects, and walked outside the house to see the piles of flowers piled up in the flower bed in the yard. Snow, ask the nanny where the pain is.

Waiting for the maid to bring the dog over, Brother Han took him and ran down the yard to start playing in the snow. Lin Qingran also let him play around, and told the nanny to take him to wash and change clothes later, so that Shao Ziyu and Shao Ziyu could get on well Walk the Shao Mansion up and down.

When Lin Qingran first bought this house, it was its location. There were many official residences nearby, and they were of a suitable size. Doctor Wei's family also lived nearby.

The secluded small garden is now covered with white snow. There is a pond beside the rockery, and there is a pavilion beside the pond. There is still a swing on the lawn in the garden. Next to the swing is a wooden horse made for Brother Han.

Going back to the main courtyard, the books in the study room have been tidied up, and another room is separated. After entering, there are study rooms on the left and right sides. One side is for Lin Qingran to read the accounts, and the other side is for Shao Ziyu's office.

Siqi hurried over, saying that someone at the gate had brought a housewarming gift. Lin Qingran walked to the front hall, and a few servants came in carrying a few boxes of things, saying that it was a housewarming gift sent by Mrs. Jin's family. , Lin Qingran opened the boxes and saw that the boxes were full of porcelain, and there were also utensils for decoration, most of which were dishes for banquets, exquisitely crafted and very elegant.

"Second Sister really knows my heart." A few boxes of banquet porcelain utensils will be enough for the housewarming party at that time, and she is still thinking about where to order it when the time comes, so Second Sister will deliver it now.

After rewarding the servants with money, Lin Qingran asked Si Hua to take down all the dishes, clean them up and put them away, so they can be used at that time.

Not long after, there was another announcement at the gate, saying that the second wife of the He family had come to give gifts, and the second sister had already snatched the porcelain. Decorated on the table.

A family of sisters seemed to have made an agreement, and it took only a day to move here. In the evening, Xiao Qi's family also sent things over. Knowing that she likes jade, they even sent them with decorations. Originally, there were no bookshelves in the study. It is full, and when it is packed at night, there are all kinds of things sent by the sisters.

Early the next morning, Lin Yunhao and Lin Yunze were not to be outdone, and sent someone to send calligraphy, paintings and high-quality brush and ink. Mother will take it easy for the time being, and then think about what to give.

The whole family of the Lin family was happy to move out of Shao's mansion for them, Shao Ziyu had a smile on his face when he heard her read the letter, "It seems that they have contributed a lot to this banquet, so we have to arrange a special table. "

"Don't tell me, they can really sit down." Lin Qingran received the letter, "Especially my second sister."

It was only the sixth day of the lunar new year, and there were still people setting off fireworks at night. The residual heat of the new year could last until the 15th Lantern Festival. After Bo Geer was carried to the wing room to sleep, Lin Qingran sat by the window and could still see twinkling Sky.

Shao Ziyu came in after taking a bath, and the husband and wife lay down on the bed. It has not been two months since the birth of the baby, so Shao Ziyu just hugged her and did nothing.

Lin Qingran pinched the newly grown calluses between his fingers, "Now that we've moved out, when will we go to Sangjiang again and bring all the things that grandfather left there, anyway, there is room here."

Shao Ziyu was a little itchy from being pinched by him, but instead grabbed her hand, Lin Qingran became addicted to playing, and began to pinch the small callus on his other hand.

Shao Ziyu still wanted to shrink back, but Lin Qingran knew that he was ticklish, so she switched hands and made trouble in his creaking nest. Shao Ziyu hugged her and pressed her under him, pinching her nose, "Don't make trouble!"

Afraid that she would catch fire later on, Lin Qingran really stopped making trouble, and leaned into his arms, smiling sullenly.

Shao Ziyu had nothing to do with her, so he blew out the lamp and hugged her, wait, it won't be so 'hard work' after waiting for a while
On the seventh day of the lunar new year, Shao Ziyu was going to be on duty at the Ministry of Punishment, and went out early in the morning.

After Lin Qingran got up, the snow stopped, the sky was sunny, and the days when the snow melted would be extremely cold and wet. Lin Qingran ordered all the houses to burn some charcoal fires to remove the moisture, and Brother Han was not allowed to play in the snow these days.

There are still many things to do after moving here. At the end of February, the Empress Dowager’s [-]-day filial piety is over, and the shop will have to buy a new batch of goods. After selling the Zhuangzi and the shop obtained from the split, Lin Qingran has a lot of money on hand. There is still a lot left to buy a Zhuangzi, Lin Qingran thought that he should buy two more shops.

The shops in the various markets have not opened yet, and it will be convenient to inquire after the fifteenth day. Lin Qingran has thought about it in advance, and Si Qin came in and handed her the final list of housewarming guests.

"According to this quantity, order a few more copies for later use." Posts need to be made to order. This kind of shop has been opened for a few days, and Lin Qingran sent someone to deliver it. It's the first time to hold such a banquet. No matter how bad it is go.

Shao Ziyu came back very late at night, and it was already past the time for dinner. After going to the Ministry of Criminal Affairs, this situation often happened, sometimes he came back early, sometimes he came back late, and once in a while, he had to go out in the middle of the night.

Lin Qingran left vegetables in the kitchen, and after eating here, he fed Brother Bo. Although the little guy could eat, he didn't grow up as fast as Brother Han did.

An Jing was full, hiccupped, and looked at Lin Qingran with wide eyes.

Lin Qingran put him on the bed, just a few days ago when he raised his head, now he was lying there with his little hands, as if he was trying hard, and raised his head to look at Lin Qingran.

Brother Han came in, saw him lying on his stomach and wanted to come over to tease him, he remembered something when he walked halfway, and went to Si Hua, who was waiting on the sidelines, and asked her to take him to warm his hands first, he secretly grabbed a snowball to play with, and his hands were cold Now, don't touch my brother.

When Lin Qingran came out of the side room, the two little ones on the couch were in such a posture. Brother Bo was lying with his hands and feet raised, and Brother Han was lying on his head with his buttocks pouted and looking at him. I just looked at it like this for a while, and occasionally Brother Han reached out to grab his raised hand.

Brother Bo got tired after playing for a while, so he hugged him to sleep, Brother Han followed Mother Chu back to his small courtyard, and Shao Ziyu came back.

After returning, he didn't enter the house. Instead, he asked people to take the clothes and take a bath first to wash off the fishy smell before entering the main house.

Lin Qingran asked someone to bring over the hot dishes, and Shao Ziyu drank some soup, "There was a murder in Lijiazhuang, so I rushed over to have a look in the afternoon."

Generally, cases are tried by the yamen within the scope, and only serious cases are reported to the Ministry of Criminal Justice. Lijiazhuang is just a few miles outside Luodu City, and it took quite a long time for Shao Ziyu to go there.

"It's big for Chinese New Year." Lin Qingran added another bowl of soup for him, and Shao Ziyu put down his chopsticks, "There are only a lot of cases during the Chinese New Year, but they are usually small cases of theft and theft. Today's case, a family of several people , except for those who went out to visit relatives during the New Year, those who stayed at home died."

Shao Ziyu was afraid that if he described it in detail, Lin Qingran would be frightened. When he looked up, the person on the other side was serious and curious. Shao Ziyu laughed, and revealed something to her, "They were all killed with one knife, and the technique was very neat. Like It's a Lianjiazi."

After investigating for a long time, it is still impossible to determine how many people committed the crime. During the Chinese New Year, there are many people walking around in the village, so others will not pay attention to whether it is outsiders. Moreover, crimes committed at night are even more difficult to be discovered.

"How can ordinary thieves be so ruthless." Those who steal chickens and dogs come and go quietly, they will not disturb the owner, steal the property and then slip away quickly, waiting for the owner to light the lamp to invite themselves I can't go in for tea.

"The scene was a mess, but it seems that there is no missing property." When Shao Ziyu said this, Lin Qingran's eyes widened, "On purpose?"

"I have to investigate tomorrow." Shao Ziyu stopped talking, Lin Qingran looked at him, and finished talking like this?

Shao Ziyu patted her forehead amusedly, "You are going to be a captor."

"It's not impossible." Lin Qingran muttered, "But you should tell the whole story anyway." If she didn't continue after halfway through, it would make her feel uncomfortable.

Shao Ziyu didn't tell her, and dragged her to sleep. Lin Qingran pinched him several times in anger, and finally fell asleep because she couldn't resist the sleepiness.

Originally, I thought it should be a quiet night, but unexpectedly the next morning, a similar murder happened in Chenmiao Village outside Luodu city, which is farther than Lijiazhuang.
