"Then you don't have to treat me to dinner." Chen Tong smiled so hard that his eyebrows were bent.

Xiao Ren frowned, is it funny?

Forget it, she looks better when she smiles than when she takes a knife, so just laugh.

"Then tell me, how do you thank you?" Xiao Ren said coldly with a stern face.

How could I thank others with an ice face? Chen Tong's mind appeared in her mind again. Xiao Ren from her previous life should have been twenty-two years old at that time, calm and wise, and strategic...

"Why don't you talk? What are you thinking?" Xiao Ren asked.

"Ah...I'm thinking about how you look when you grow up." Chen Tong smiled.

Xiao Ren was stunned for a moment, and his face, which was as cold as ice, suddenly turned red to his ears.

"...If you don't say anything, I'll leave." He said this, but his feet seemed to be nailed to the ground, not moving at all.

Chen Tong was a little surprised. She didn't say anything. Why did Xiao Ren blush?

"You can help me find something." Chen Tong said.

"What's the matter?" Xiao Ren asked.

"About ten years ago, a family named Lan in Yulin moved from the capital and made rouge and water powder." Chen Tong paused when he said this and said, "That year, there was a Tartar near Yulin and killed many people, and this family named Lan was also among them."

Yulin is an important border town, located in the northwest with Xi'an. Moreover, Yulin is known as the "small capital" and is no less prosperous than Xi'an.

Unlike King Yu and King Gui, the fiefs of King Yan and King Qin are far more than the city you see on the surface. When Emperor Taizu was in power, he awarded two tiger talismans to King Yan and King Qin.

They have the responsibility to defend the border and resist foreign enemies.

Although the King of Qin was in charge of Xi'an, he had his troops in Yulin, Zhangye and other places.

Chen Tong asked Xiao Ren to investigate what happened in Yulin ten years ago, and it was considered to be the right person.

"Is this relative of your Shen family?" Xiao Ren asked, but then he thought about it and rejected it himself, "No, who is he?"

The Shen family was destroyed by the nine clans, and there were no relatives. Even if there were some in-laws who were not among the nine clans, they would probably have drawn a clear line with the Shen family long ago, and Chen Tong would never ask about them.

Chen Tong smiled: "It's not convenient to say."

OK, he was sent out in four words.

Xiao Ren's mouth moved, and after all, he swallowed what he wanted to say.

He said he wanted to thank him. Now that he asked him for help, he asked again, and it seemed that it was not good.

"Okay, I'll notify you if there is any news." After saying that, Xiao Ren's body moved, but his feet still did not move.

"Do you have something to do?" Chen Tong asked him curiously.

"Have you found your mother?" Although Xiao Ren had guessed it long ago, he still wanted to ask.

"Yeah, I found it." Chen Tong said.

"Congratulations." It is indeed worth congratulations. Not everyone in this world can reunite with their relatives.

"Thank you", Chen Tong remembered the food box of osmanthus snacks when she came out of the capital. She asked, "Is sugar osmanthus delicious?"

"Um."

......

At this moment, a cat's meow suddenly came.

"Meow......"

Chen Tong didn't move, Fang Fei let out a whistle, and Xiao Ren subconsciously looked over to the sound.

I saw a golden whizz and disappeared.

"Do you have cats here too?" Xiao Ren asked.

Before Chen Tong could speak, Fangfei immediately rushed to say, "Wild cat, it's a wild cat!"

Xiao Ren ignored her and looked at Chen Tong and said, "My cat is lost. If you want to raise it, I will ask you one."

"Go and ask for it again? Didn't you pick that cat?" Chen Tong regretted it after saying that. How great is it to break up this topic.

"Anyway, I'm lost..."

Xiao Ren stopped talking. Chen Tong went to see him and found that his face seemed to be redder.

......

That day, Xiao Ren came back from Shuyuan Street and moved the jar of candy osmanthus from under the Arhat bed.

He hasn't opened it yet.

Now there are no cats in the mansion, so let's put them on the Treasure Pavilion.

Xiao Ren put the blue and white beds containing sugar and osmanthus flowers on it, and then he remembered another thing.

The Lord of Zhongling County...

He returned to the palace overnight and found Zhou Zheng.

After hearing his guess, Zhou Zheng remained silent.

After a long time, Zhou Zheng said, "The County Lord Zhongling brought six people from the capital, two of whom were nanny and four maids. Although the mansion had arranged suitable people, they could not get close to him... If she was really the Queen Mother's Princess Qin, who was appointed by the Empress Dowager, it would be easy to say, but she was afraid that she was not!"

Xiao Ren understood what Zhou Zheng meant, and he said, "The most urgent thing is to see if she really possesses martial arts."

If the Lord of Zhongling County has martial arts, this matter will be even more complicated.

Zhou Zheng said: "The father once said that although Prince Su had served in the army, he was not a military general who led the troops to fight, he was a civil servant."

Few civil servants cultivate their daughters to practice martial arts in their families.

Zhou Zheng thought for a while and said, "I'll ask the capital to find out the details of the county lord Zhongling."

Five days later, news came from the capital that the princes of the Su family had no martial arts skills. The Empress Dowager liked to play polo when she was young. Now that she is in high spirits this year, she can't play anymore, but she still likes to watch polo. Every spring, she watch polo in the palace. In addition to the eunuchs and palace maids in the palace, there are also noble girls in the capital. However, among these noble girls, there are from the Yang family, but not from the Su family.

As for the county lord Zhongling, it is said that she was sick when she was young, and a monk told her fortune, saying that she had to grow up in a nunnery for nine years before she could take her home, otherwise her life would not be long.

The county lord Zhongling returned to Beijing in autumn, but she grew up in a nunnery since she was young and developed a cold and cold temperament. She liked peace and did not like liveliness. After returning to Beijing, she rarely went out and occasionally went to temples to burn incense. Therefore, she only knew that there was such a county lord in the aristocratic circle in the capital, but there were only a few people who had seen her.

Zhou Zheng sneered: "She usually travels thousands of miles to Xi'an for a painting?"

Xiao Ren said: "What do you say about the people around her?"

The so-called people around her refer to the people who are placed next to the Lord of Zhongling County.

Unfortunately, none of these people could get close to the Lord of Zhongling County. They either did rough work in the yard or could only pass on messages and food.

Zhou Zheng shook his head: "Mrs. Ding and Yining have visited her several times. Just like when they first came, they were polite and distant, and they couldn't see anything. She has been in Xi'an for a few days and has never left. Mrs. Ding is preparing a banquet for her and will invite the officials from Xi'an city to come over. She declined at first, but later agreed. By the way, Yining said that she has always been wearing a skirt and tucked her waist."

The performance of the county lord Zhongling was completely the attitude that noble girl should have. If Yi Ning had not noticed her clothes, no one would have thought too much.

The King of Qin met the Lord of Zhongling once. It was the day after the Lord of Zhongling arrived in Xi'an. He sat on the ground according to the family banquet of ancient rituals, with a small table for each person. The Lord of Zhongling County was full of etiquette, generous and decent, and even made more elegant in the subtleties than Yining.
