late spring

Chapter 160 Progress

There may be no such thing as fingerprints in this era, but Ziyi knows that these things do exist.

So she carefully pinched the corner of the paper and looked at it in the sun. Suddenly, her eyes fell on an oily place in the paper bag, which... seemed to have a thumbprint.

Ziyi looked carefully. After she saw it clearly, she had confirmed, "This is indeed a thumbprint." Ziyi muttered in a low voice, regardless of other people's strange eyes. She ran to the kitchen, found a black charcoal, stepped on some crushed into ashes, and sprinkled it on the paper.

Soon the thumbprint gradually became clear.

Ziyi looked at the clear thumbprint and the corners of her mouth were up.

And Xingchen looked at her "sticious" movements and couldn't help but be a little stunned.

"Ziyi... What are you doing?" Xingchen asked with some twitching at the corners of his mouth.

Ziyi looked at Xingchen and glanced at the whole room to look at her dazed people. She laughed a few times without explaining. She just walked to Xiang'er's side and smiled sweetly at her. "Sister Xiang'er, I want to ask you a favor. Do you think it's okay?"

Xiang'er was stunned by Ziyi's question. She couldn't help rubbing the corners of her clothes, looked at Xingchen, and saw that there was nothing unhappy in his look, so she also agreed tremblingly.

And when Ziyi agreed, she found the cook, asked for a little lard, and let Xianger dip a little on her thumb. Although Xianger didn't understand what Ziyi was going to do, she did not hesitate about Ziyi's words. She directly stretched out her thumb into the basin, and then looked at Ziyi in a staringly. .

When Ziyi saw her movements, the corners of her mouth twitched slightly, but she still did not hesitate. Instead, as soon as she saw Xiang'er's thumb covered with oil, she quickly pressed Xiang's hand hard on the paper bag, and soon a clear thumbprint appeared on it.

After Ziyi looked at the thumbprint, she sprinkled some charcoal ash on it again, and soon Xiang'er's thumbprint clearly appeared on the paper bag.

Seeing Ziyi's set and action, although Xingchen still had some doubts, when he approached and saw two different "strange figures", he also slightly understood.

"Ziyi... What are you going to do? What's the use of these two patterns? Xingchen asked doubtfully, but Ziyi smiled sweetly at him.

"Uncle Xingchen, I once saw such a passage in an old book.

The book says that everyone's fate in the world is different. Everyone has their own life, everyone has their own home, and it is because of this that everyone's fingers are also different, which is why those fateful gentlemen touch their hands and fortune-telling. Today, when I saw a thumbprint on this paper bag, I suddenly remembered such a statement.

So, I just want to confirm it and see if that paragraph is true.

And now I have also confirmed that statement. You see, Sister Xiang'er's thumbprint is really different from this thumbprint!"

Zi's clothes said naively and looked at Xingchen smiling. After listening to Ziyi's words, although Xingchen doubted where Ziyi had seen such a passage, it did not hinder his current good mood.

They originally lacked evidence to prove whether the paper bag and the things in the paper bag are theirs. Now with these different fingerprints, their investigation has also made great progress.

Although such an argument may not be notarized in court, at least, they already know where to investigate this matter, and as for Yaer and others, they can directly treat them as suspects.

With such a progress, Xingchen looked at Ziyi with different eyes.

For a long time, he thought that this girl Ziyi was just a little smart, clever and sensible, but now it seems that the book she usually holds is not for nothing, at least she is not pretending. Does this little girl know a lot?

In this way, Xingchen quietly made another decision in his heart. If there is a chance in the future, he must cultivate this little girl well, not to mention what she looks like, at least a little better than himself.

When the stars thought about it, the smile on his mouth became brighter and brighter.

And Ziyi didn't know what he was thinking at all. Now when she saw him like this, she was suddenly a little dumbfounded, "Uncle Xingchen, Uncle Xingchen... What's wrong with you?" Ziyi pushed a few stars and asked inexplicably.

Xingchen suddenly woke up from his dream and saw Ziyi and the people next to him looking at him with a confused face. His face was a little hung up, but when he thought about the plan in his heart, he didn't want to care so much. Instead, he took Ziyi's hand and said happily:

"Well, well, now that our goal today has been achieved, let's go back first and come back later.

Oh! By the way, Xiang'er and Hongmei, pay attention to you two. Because today's matter is of great importance, so if someone asks you what you in the future, you must not say anything about today. At the same time, this paper bag and the contents will be directly kept by our government. At the same time, you have to go back home with me. If you go there, I have to find someone to record what you said as evidence for the future.

Do you two understand?

Xingchen said calmly, but Xiang'er and Hongmei couldn't calm down.

You should know that in the hearts of these ordinary people, there is nothing important in their hearts, but they generally don't go to the government office, let alone any testimony or records. These things have incomparable prestige in their hearts. If these little people meet them, there must be no good things.

Thinking about this, Xiang'er and Hongmei's faces became embarrassed. Xingchen saw it and was a little puzzled, but Ziyi's heart was clear, so she pulled Xingchen's sleeve, and she walked to Xiang'er and Hongmei's eyes and took their hands with a smile, "Two sisters, don't be afraid, Uncle Xingchen. Uncle just wants someone to record what you said. It doesn't matter.

What the two sisters said and did in the government today has nothing to do with the two sisters. No matter what happens in the future, it has no impact on the two sisters. So don't be nervous, two sisters.

Ziyi said this, and her tone was full of calming comfort. Xingchen listened and couldn't help but be a little surprised, while Xiang'er and Hongmei gradually settled down because of Ziyi's words.

They looked at each other, looked at Ziyi's smile, and finally nodded, "Okay... I... we'll follow you." Hongmei answered like this, and Xiang'er couldn't help nodding.

Ziyi smiled brightly at them, "Then thank the two sisters." Saying this, Ziyi took the initiative to take the hands of the two sisters and walked towards the government office. Xingchen smiled when he saw the three of them and smiled, and followed behind without putting on the airs of being a senior official.

Xiang'er and Hongmei gradually relaxed when they saw that the stars were so easy-going, and Ziyi also took this opportunity to continue to explore what happened to Ya'er.

It turned out that both of them were recruited a year ago. At that time, there may be no one in the yard, so they needed a few people to clean up. At the same time, they needed a cook, several fire maids, maids and so on, and Hongmei and Xiang'er were bought at that time.

However, the contract between the two of them is not lifelong. They have only been working part-time for three or five years. Now that Ya'er has moved to Zi's house, they are free. Usually, as long as they do cleaning in the yard and looking at home, they don't need to do anything at all.

However, once they are going to do something in this yard, they also need to help, so although they are free on weekdays, once they meet Yaer and Third Master's personal birthdays, or catch up with the Spring Festival or something, they will be busy. However, these are not big things. They all live a hard life. No matter how busy they are now, it is better than staying at home and being poor, so although they usually look a little sad, in the final analysis, they are more satisfied.

After all, Na Yaer is not a sharp person. She is usually relatively tolerant of them and will not punish them easily. It is a rare thing to put this matter elsewhere. After all, in this era, there are too few people who do not punish maids and mates. And Ziyi also heard a trace of sadness from their tone.

Thinking so, the three gradually became silent, and Ziyi also heard what she needed to inquire about.

It turned out that Ya'er really had a brother. She lived in the west of the city, and the two brothers and sisters didn't usually see each other very often. They only sent a little boy to spread the message. This time, it's not because Ya'er and Zi Wenhe of Zi's family got online. It is estimated that the two brothers and sisters will live like this for a lifetime.

But because of Yaer and Zi Wenhe, the brother gradually got acquainted with his sister.

People who usually celebrate the Spring Festival will also send someone to send a gift or something. Usually, if there is any difficulty, he will also come to help. It is also because of this that Yaer will not be bullied in this place.

But at the same time, Yaer must also help her brother find a good place and a good job.

This brother and she are not close to each other. There are a total of seven brothers and sisters in their family. They are far away from Yaer and her brother.
