Chapter 315 Unfamiliar

Chapter 315 Unfamiliar

"Tsk." Jiang Cheng first glanced at Xiao Wan, then turned his head to stare at the fat man for a while, looking up and down, and felt that he seemed to have discovered a new way to open the fat man.

"My lord." Xiao Wan suddenly asked, "Where did you get the kit in your hand?"

Through the curtain, she didn't pay attention before, but now that she came out of the curtain, her eyes were immediately attracted by the brocade bag, and she even ignored the fat man who was staring at him.

"You know this kit?" Jiang Cheng asked back.

"Of course." Xiaowan was very excited: "This is my wedding present for Sister Xuanji, she promised me to wear it all the time, why is it in your hands?"

Mystery

Jiang Cheng squinted his eyes, it seemed that this was the name of the female ghost.

In other words, it was her stage name in this Fairy Academy.

"But isn't sister Xuanji dead?" Xiaowan frowned and asked, "Why are her things on you, you... who are you?"

Now Xiao Wan was really scared, and the way she looked at Jiang Cheng also changed, "You were sent by Master Huang!" She said angrily, "Isn't it?!"

"No." Jiang Cheng passed the peeled pear in his hand unhurriedly, raised his eyes, and said very calmly: "Don't be nervous, speak slowly if you have anything to say."

Looking into Jiang Cheng's eyes, Xiao Wan really calmed down slowly, then took the pear in his hand by accident, and sat opposite him.

"I came here just for this matter, and I hope to give Xuanji justice." Jiang Cheng said with a serious face: "You don't want her to die for no reason, do you?"

Xiaowan nodded, and said after a long while: "I also think that sister Xuanji's death is strange. She just married into the Huang's house for a few days, and she was in good health when she left. Why did she suddenly get sick and die?"

"Don't be so fast, take your time." Jiang Cheng stretched out his hand, put it on Xiao Wan's lap, and while stroking it comfortingly, he said seriously, "It starts with how Young Master Huang and Xuanji got to know each other."

Gradually, with Xiaowan's narration, the story between Young Master Huang and this brothel woman named Xuanji gradually begins to unfold.

Just like what they thought, Young Master Huang loves to go to theatres, and Mystery, the headliner in Meixianyuan, is known as the best of both opera and art.

The girl in front of them, Xiaowan, is as famous as Xuanji.

Just like that, Xuanji came into Young Master Huang's sight.

And Young Master Huang is talented and romantic, his skillful painting is even more amazing, and he takes great care of the mystery.

Soon, the two came together as written in a novel about gifted scholars and beautiful ladies.

But the Huang family is considered a big and respectable family in the local area, how could it be possible to accept a woman from a brothel, Master Huang was furious about this matter, and even threatened to sever ties with Young Master Huang.

"But in the end, Young Master Huang still married Sister Xuanji into the mansion." Xiao Wan said with a little envy.

When she said this, her tone suddenly paused, and an unnatural look appeared on her face, "My lord knows us too," she pinched her fingers, and whispered, "Girls like us can only get married at night." , there are no gongs and drums, and there will be no one to see him off, only a few people from the husband's family will quietly carry them in through the side door in a small sedan chair, and no one dares to say anything."

"I gave this kit to sister Xuanji before that night." Xiaowan recalled: "At that time, sister Xuanji also took away a maid who was always with her."

"That maid is also quite pitiful. She is an orphan. Sister Xuanji is worried that if she leaves, she will be bullied if she stays alone."

"The doctor is amazing!" Fatty shouted in his heart.

"So. Do you suspect that Master Huang was involved in it?" Probably the matter was understood, and Jiang Cheng got to the point.

"Yeah." Xiao Wan nodded fiercely, "Who else but him, he must have done it, it's a pity Young Master Huang." Xiao Wan then sighed, "I heard that after the death of sister Xuanji, he also went crazy .”

"Young Master Huang really has a deep affection for Miss Xuanji." Jiang Cheng said with emotion.

"Indeed." Xiao Wan nodded again and again, "Young Master Huang once drew a picture for sister Xuanji. The sister in the painting is very beautiful. Before my sister got married, she gave the painting to me. After the accident, my sister's family came to look for her. I thought they were really pitiful, so I gave the painting to them."

Mysterious family.

Jiang Cheng instantly became interested, "Was that painting taken away by them?"

"Yes, he is sister Xuanji's father. He used to visit her secretly before, but my sister seems to be more resistant to this father, so I don't meet him very often."

"What does that man do?"

"I heard that they are also singing operas." Xiaowan showed a rather strange look, "But they are different from us, they are singing in vain, it is the kind of dead man's drama, and they use paper people, paper horses and so on. .”

Seemingly worried that Jiang Cheng would not understand, Xiao Wan explained in more detail.

"My sister's father is the head of the theater troupe. I once heard my sister talk about it after she was drunk. It was because my father didn't work properly that he sold himself here, so he has never been willing to forgive him."

"Ghost show?" Jiang Cheng narrowed his eyes.

Hearing the word ghost, Xiao Wan subconsciously rejected it, swallowed and said, "It should be similar. That person looks weird, thin and short, and has a strange appearance. His face is very long, and his eyes are like ghosts. Can read people's hearts, standing next to him is like being in an ice cellar," she added.

Seems to have thought of something, Jiangcheng wanted a pen and paper, and started to draw on it, and after a while——

"Is it him?" Jiang Cheng picked up the painting and asked Xiao Wan.

The moment she saw the painting, Xiao Wan was stunned for a moment, then nodded again and again, "Yes, it's him." She looked at Jiang Cheng with puzzled eyes and asked, "Master, have you met him?"

"I've seen it, but I'm not familiar with it."

Xiaowan nodded slightly, "No wonder."

The fat man stretched his neck and wanted to come over to look at the painting, but before he got close, the painting was put away by Jiang Cheng.

"Do you know where Xuanji's father is now?" Jiang Cheng asked.

Xiao Wan thought for a while, then shook her head: "The troupe who sing this kind of opera usually live outside the city, but...but you can go to Luogu Lane to have a look. He mentioned it when he came last time."

"Thank you." Jiang Cheng stood up and prepared to leave.

"My lord, please wait a moment." Xiao Wan stood up and called Jiang Cheng, and under the fat man's envious eyes, Xiao Wan took out a sign tied with a red string from an exquisite wooden box.

I don't know what material the brand is made of, but it feels very good in the hand.

The word "wan" is engraved on the front.

"Young master, please accept it." Xiao Wan said: "This is my sign, next time you can come to me with the sign, this will avoid a lot of trouble."

"Sister Xuanji treats me very well, please let me know if there is any progress in the matter." She said sincerely.

Jiang Cheng accepted the sign and replied, "Definitely."

After leaving Meixianyuan, the fat man couldn't wait to get close to him. Before he opened his mouth, he saw Jiang Cheng's cold face and said in an unusually calm tone, "It's Steward Zhou."
