Ci Jinzhi

  Chapter 75 is wrong

  Zhou Ningyue didn't think too much about it, and said with a smile: "I know. Dad doesn't believe this, if he hears about it, he will definitely punish me."

   "Yes, men don't really believe this." Instructing her daughter, Zhou's mother looked tired, "Mom, sleep for a while, you can go back to your room to sleep."

   Zhou Ningyue left, and the room became quiet, but Zhou's mother tossed and turned without sleepiness.

  On the way back to the bookstore, Xin You and Ji Cailan walked together for a while, quietly inquiring: "Sister Zhou's family just came from other places, will their Mid-Autumn Festival be different from the local customs?"

   Ji Cailan immediately came to chat: "I heard from my cousin that there are some differences between the north and the south. The moon cakes they eat in the south are filled with meat."

   Speaking of this, Ji Cailan couldn't help showing disgust on her face.

  Mooncakes are obviously made of red bean paste, jujube paste, and five kernels. Meat mooncakes are simply crooked!

   "Meat mooncakes?" Xinyou showed a strange look in cooperation.

   Seeing her like this, Ji Cailan seemed to have found a bosom friend: "Isn't it strange?"

  Xin You nodded: "It is indeed different from what we are used to."

   "It's more than that! Cousin and the others not only eat meat-filled mooncakes in the south, but also salty rice dumplings, and salty spring rolls, but tofu nao is eaten with sugar! Sister Kou, can you imagine sweet tofu nao?"

  Xin You shook his head in a good manner: "It's unimaginable."

  In fact, she can not only imagine, but also eat deliciously.

  Of course, Aunt Xia cooks everything delicious, from all over the world, frying, frying and frying. So she is used to both sweet and salty foods.

   "Then wait for the Mid-Autumn Festival, is sister Zhou used to eating sweet mooncakes?"

"In the early years, my uncle and the others were in the capital, so they must be able to eat them, but these years I am used to eating salty mooncakes, and mooncakes with meat are better. Two days ago, I told my cousin that there is a dim sum shop not far from Jixiangfang. In a few days, not only common mooncakes, but also meat mooncakes are sold. My cousin said that she would buy some back at that time, and she didn’t let me mention it to my aunt and them, saying that it was a surprise for them.”

  Xin You wanted to give Ji Cailan a hug.

  How can there be such a caring girl?

  She showed surprise on her face: "Are there meat mooncakes sold in Beijing?"

   "Yes, that dim sum shop is called Wuxiangzhai, and it didn't sell meat mooncakes at first. It is said that the wife of Shaodong's family is from the south, and later they sold meat mooncakes. The business is actually good, and most of the customers are from the south."

  Ji Cailan's disgusted look when she mentioned "good business" was so obvious that Xinyou bent her lips.

   Standing at the intersection to say goodbye, Ji Cailan held Xin You's hand reluctantly: "Sister Kou, have you been at the bookstore? I'll go play with you later."

   "I'm usually here when it's not a year or festival. Sister Ji can find me anytime."

  Back to the bookstore, Xin You told Nanny Fang: "There is a pastry shop called Wuxiangzhai near Jixiangfang. Nanny, go and find out the exact location."

  With the name of the shop and the approximate location, it sounded very easy to make a call. It didn't take long for Mother Fang to report the information she had found to Xin You.

   "The shop is just two streets away from Jixiangfang. It's open on the side of the road. The business is very prosperous. In the afternoon when the dim sum is sold out, it closes early..."

  Nurse Fang's words also verified Xin You's deduction that the murder happened in the morning.

   This night, Xin You didn't sleep well, thinking over and over again what to do on the Mid-Autumn Festival.

  She probably figured out the layout of Zhou's house. Today, she went to see Zhou's mother in the east room. The layout is different from what she saw in the picture. The only place where the crime happened is the west room.

   There are three main rooms in the Zhou family, the west room is connected to the main room, and there is no place to hide in the main room. It is even more inappropriate to be under the window outside the house. If the timing is not right, Zhou Ningyue, who came back from outside, will spot it at a glance.

  After much deliberation, the most suitable place to hide is on the Liangshang of Westinghouse. It seems that she is going to be a "gentleman on Liangshang".

  With a plan in mind, Xin You fell asleep in a daze.

  The next day when she was nestling in the east courtyard, Shi Shi came over from the front to deliver something, which turned out to be Wuxiangzhai's dim sum.

   "It's from your friend, Miss Ji."

Seeing that Xinyou was going to meet Ji Cailan, Shitou hurriedly said: "Miss Ji heard that you were in the east courtyard, so she put down her snacks and left. She said she happened to pass by here on her way to another place, so she brought you some snacks for you to have a taste of." dislike."

  Xin You opened the pastry box and took a few pieces of pastries to Shi Shi: "You and Liu Zhou should try it too."

   For a child like Shitou who is living a difficult life, dim sum is a good thing that he can't eat during the Chinese New Year.

   "Thank you, my boss." The little boy walked away happily with a snack.

  Xin You sat quietly for a while, picked up a peach blossom-shaped snack, put it in his mouth, and tasted it slowly.

  The dim sum is soft and sweet, and tastes good, but her heart is not soaked in sweetness.

   After eating a piece of snack, Xin You sighed slightly.

  Even if the ending of Zhou's mother being killed can be changed, it is inevitable for the couple to turn against each other, so they don't know how Ji Cailan and Zhou Ningyue, cousins, will get along with each other.

  As for the friendship between her and the two of them...it is a friendship based on falsehood, if you think too much, you are asking for trouble.

   In the blink of an eye, it was August 14th. Xin You went to the bookstore in front of her for a stroll, then went out, heading towards Wuxiangzhai.

  She wants to check it out in advance so that she can estimate the distance from Zhou's house to the dim sum shop.

  As Ji Cailan said, Wuxiangzhai is not far from Jixiangfang. Xinyou walked slowly because he was not in a hurry, and there was already a long queue there.

  The snacks in this restaurant are really popular—Xin You just had this idea, and suddenly stopped.

  Why is Zhou Ningyue in the team?

  Yue's white shirt, lilac pleated skirt, and a small basket in her hand... Zhou Ningyue's dress is exactly the same as in the picture.

  Xin You stared fixedly at the beautiful girls in the queue, her heart sank suddenly.

wrong!

  The time in the picture turned out not to be the Mid-Autumn Festival, but August 14th!

  Xin You ignored Zhou Ningyue's frustration and made a mistake in her deduction.

   "Sister Kou?" Seeing Xin You, Zhou Ningyue was pleasantly surprised, "You also know this dim sum shop?"

"I heard from Sister Ji that this dim sum shop tastes good that day, and I was thinking of buying a few dim sum to bring back to my grandparents' house during the festival." Xin You explained, holding Zhou Ningyue's hand, "You see, Sister Zhou, dim sum can't be bought. gone."

   "What's wrong?" Zhou Ningyue was at a loss.

  Xin You pulled Zhou Ningyue towards Zhou's house, and said in a low voice, "From my observation of sister Zhou's face, it's a sign that my parents are in danger, and it's close at hand."

   Parents refer to parents, Zhou Ningyue immediately thought of what Xin You said that day about her mother's bloodshed, and couldn't help but change her face: "My mother—"

   No need for Xin You to pull any further, she ran home with her skirt in hand.

  Xin You silently chased after her.

  Zhou Ningyue was worried that something might happen to her parents, so she ran fast, but it took a quarter of an hour to reach the door.

   The door of Zhou's house was closed, but it was not locked. Zhou Ningyue pushed open the door and rushed in, heading straight to the main room.
