Chapter 349: Yu’An’S Discovery
Chapter 349 Yu An’s Discovery
“Miss, the carp under this bridge are so big.”
Yuan couldn’t help shouting.
“It’s really big.”
Yin Miao stood by the stone bridge in the courtyard and glanced at it. It was not unusual for there to be water and fish under the stone bridge. After all, it has been raining heavily these days.
“What’s the matter, miss?” Yu An asked Yin Miao, who seemed to be in deep thought.
“How long do you think this fish can be raised so big?”
Yin Miao pointed at the colorful koi and asked.
“It will take at least a year. In the past, the fish raised in the ponds in our village could not be caught until the end of the year.”
Yuan replied after thinking.
“Well, that is to say, the fish here have lived unharmed for at least half a year.”
Yin Miao’s words made Yu’an stunned, and then her eyes widened as if she understood something.
The stone bridge here is a high arch, Yin Miao stood at the top and looked at it, and the surrounding scenery was unobstructed.
Wen Mansion is not small. Compared with Ye’s house, which can’t even keep a home, it is very clean and tidy everywhere.
It was like never having experienced famine and drought.
Before Liu Ru came, Yin Miao simply walked towards the corridor opposite the stone bridge.
“Miss, wouldn’t it be bad for us to walk around like this?”
Yuan asked.
“Well, it’s not good.”
Yin Miao stopped at the end of the promenade, in front of an inconspicuous stone pillar under the eaves, and then tapped lightly with her fingers.
“Miss, is this stone pillar hollow?”
behind Yu An suddenly asked.
“Can you hear it?” Yin Miao turned her head in surprise. In fact, she couldn’t tell if there was anything tricky about the stone pillar, she just tried it with the mentality of trying it out.
Yuan nodded immediately: “My father is a stone bricklayer. I learned something from him since I was a child. This stone pillar is definitely not solid. It must be the stone bricklayer who cut corners and deceived the adults in this mansion.”
Yuan said with great confidence and knocked on his own.
Yin Miao’s eyes lit up. Seeing that there was no one around, she dragged Yu’an to an empty room closest to them and asked, “Then Yu’an, try again, is this wall solid or hollow?”
“Walls made hollow are too weak and easy to spot…”
Yuan’s hand froze on the wall, and then shouted in surprise: “Miss, this wall is really hollow!”
Yin Miao hurriedly covered Yu An’s mouth, they couldn’t scare the snake now, Yu An just wanted to say something, but heard someone coming to look for them outside the door.
“Don’t mention what happened just now to others.”
Yin Miao said solemnly.
Yuan was the first time she saw Yin Miao’s serious expression, she nodded quickly and said, “Don’t worry, miss.”
Liu Ru seemed a little panicked when she saw Yin Miao and the two walking across from the stone bridge.
“Just now, this slave girl saw the carp in the pond fascinated, and actually followed the swimming fish towards the water, which made the lady laugh.”
Yin Miao silently apologized to Yu An in her heart, she just thought of this as an excuse temporarily.
“So that’s the case. Before, a Taoist priest did look at the mansion for my husband and said that the people here are outstanding and can nourish all things, so the fish in our mansion have always looked good.”
Liu Ru said while walking.
“It turns out that Lord Wen still believes this.”
Seeing that Liu Ru had no doubts, Yin Miao and Yin Miao breathed a sigh of relief at the same time.
“Of course I believe it. Now that the national disaster is at the forefront, my husband and he will go to the Mufa Temple on the outskirts of Beijing to pray for the people almost every few days…”
Liu Ru seemed to admire Wen Zhuoyuan very much, and almost every sentence was inseparable from the word husband, but Yin Miao also heard a few things that made her care.
It was not until almost noon when Xiao Xuan came to look for Yin Miao, and the few people left the Wen residence.
“It looks like it’s going to rain again, did you find anything over there?”
Yin Miao sat in the carriage and asked.
Xiao Xuan shook his head: “He should have already prepared, but I have let Zhou Kexu and them observe secretly.”
Wen Zhuoyuan’s words are also leak-proof, so that he can’t see the flaws.
“He must be greedy anyway.”
Yin Miao said that it was normal for Xiao Xuan not to see, she was preconceived because she had seen the plot.
“Why do you say that?”
Xiao Xuan asked with interest.
Yin Miao told about Liu Ru’s yard and the koi:
“In a drought, it takes a lot of money and effort to ensure that the fish in the pond will not die due to drying up, and even grow so fat and the trees, flowers and grass are all shaded.”
The Ye family sold their house for food, and all the servants were sold, but the Wen family seemed to be unaffected.
“Doubtful indeed.”
Xiao Xuan pondered after hearing this.
“And… Mufa Temple, you can ask someone to go there and try to explore.”
Yin Miao interrupted Xiao Xuan’s thinking, she did not believe that Wen Zhuoyuan in the book would have such a kind heart, and went to incense every few days to pray for blessings.
Xiao Xuan laughed: “A Miao’s trip is much more useful than my visit.”
“That’s different. You are facing people who are guarding you everywhere.”
Yin Miao quickly explained.
The group returned to Prince Xuan’s mansion, Yin Miao saw that Xiao Xuan did not let those accounts be removed from the car, so she guessed that he did not intend to check those accounts.
“It is impossible to see flaws with carefully prepared things, and it is a waste of manpower.”
Xiao Xuan said.
“Well, compared to this, I just realized that Yu An, who came with me today, is still a skilled craftsman.”
Yin Miao pretended not to care and said while walking with Xiao Xuan.
“A skilled craftsman?” Xiao Xuan didn’t know why Yin Miao said that.
“Isn’t that true? She just walked away and found that the stone pillars in Wen’s mansion were hollow, and even the walls were made hollow by cutting corners.
Yin Miao said.
“empty?”
Xiao Xuan stopped.
Yin Miao did not bother to see this, so she took Yu An back to her yard.
“You performed well today, this is your reward.”
Yin Miao took out a prepared food box and handed it to Yu An.
“Thank you, miss, this is what slaves should do.”
Besides, she didn’t seem to do anything, and she was even lucky enough to ride a carriage that she had never ridden before.
“Take it, there is no reason to take back what I sent.”
After Yin Miao finished speaking, Yu An hurriedly took over the heavy food box.
“By the way, I heard you built the stove?”
Yin Miao asked.
“Yes, miss, we don’t have a place to boil water in our yard. The servants thought that it would be more convenient for the young lady to use hot water in the future.”
Yu’an explained.
“Very good, you have a heart.”
Yin Miao turned around and walked into her room, Yu An was considerate.
“Good afternoon fellow, didn’t I scare you?”
Li Tianyang was sitting at the table in Yin Miao’s room with a smile and drinking tea. For some reason, he just felt that Yin Miao’s tea was sweeter.
“No, have all the things I asked you to help deliver?”
Yin Miao was not surprised, her courtyard was a little far from Xiao Xuan’s side, and Li Tianyang would come over these two days to ask for some food.
“It’s necessary, but let me tell you, the Ye family was scared to death by what I sent, hahaha!”
Li Tianyang laughed.
