Jiang Tuantuan said with satisfaction: "I just need you to help me keep an eye on him. What he did, who he met, and then tell me."
"But remember, you must not be discovered. It's better to be lost than to be discovered."
The two children patted their chests and assured that it was no problem.
Just for the sake of the money, they will work hard to do a good job.
After explaining things to the two kids, Jiang Tuantuan quickly went to find Dachun and the other guy.
Dachun and Cuiping were sewing clothes when they suddenly saw their boss coming and were startled.
What happened?
Jiang Tuantuan was almost exhausted. She went into the house and gulped down a large bowl of water. She exhaled and said, "Hurry up and check who has bought pink skirts from us."
Find anything that is similar to pink.
Dachun and Cuiping went to look for him with confused looks on their faces.
Because there are too many people buying, it is not easy to find it all at once.
Jiang Tuantuan waited until the afternoon, when Dachun and Cuiping finally found the information from the stack of papers.
There were nearly twenty people in total.
Jiang Tuantuan asked, "Are there so many people buying it?"
Dachun replied: "Most of the people who come to buy choose the pink ones."
So that's how it is. She thought her skirt was so popular.
Everyone's measurements were recorded, and Jiang Tuantuan clearly remembered that the girl was not fat.
So all the large ones are excluded.
There are ten left, one of them is Rouer, excluding her, so there are nine left.
It's not easy to ask so many people one by one.
Jiang Tuantuan copied the information of these nine people onto a piece of paper, then hurried away with the paper.
Before leaving, he praised Dachun and Cuiping, saying, "Well done. Anyone who comes to buy from you in the future must write down the size, residence, and surname."
I originally wrote these down just to make it easier to deliver the skirts to customers, but now they are very useful.
Jiang Tuantuan returned to the alley and waited for the two little boys to come back. She waited until dusk before she saw the boys' shadows.
"You guys are back, how is it, did you find anything?"
The boy said, "We saw him come out of the barracks and go straight back to the mansion. He didn't go anywhere and didn't see anyone."
If I can escape the first day, I don’t believe I can escape the fifteenth.
Jiang Tuantuan was patient. She took out the paper in her hand and asked the little boy, "Do you know how to read?"
The two little boys shook their heads.
Since they can't read, I have no choice but to tell them the information orally. You two can help me find these companies.
See if there are any young women of appropriate age in these families, who are not fat and have a pink chest-length skirt that she wears occasionally.
This is all the information we have at the moment. You must investigate it carefully and do not alert anyone.
The little boy said he understood.
Jiang Tuantuan took out a handful of copper coins from his pocket and gave them to them.
After the secret plot, Jiang Tuantuan returned home feeling refreshed.
As soon as she entered the house, she saw Li Jingchen standing under the eaves waving at her. Jiang Tuantuan smiled at him as usual, washed up and had dinner.
The dinner table is still as warm and lively as before.
I don’t know why, but after all these things happened, Jiang Tuantuan’s appetite improved, and he felt like he was exploring a mystery.
The only difference is that when sleeping at night, Jiang Tuantuan no longer lets Li Jingchen hold her, but instead stays far away from her.
The reason is that it’s too hot!
Li Jingchen looked at her saying she was hot but still covered with the quilt and retorted: "If you are hot, why are you covering yourself up so tightly without even showing your arms?"
Jiang Tuantuan glanced at him and said, "This temperature is just right. If I hold you, your body temperature will be too high and I won't be able to sleep well!"
After saying that, she turned her face away and ignored him, pretending to be asleep.
The next day, at dawn, Jiang Tuantuan got up early, changed clothes, ate, and went out!
According to her memory from yesterday, she arrived at the alley and found the boys waiting for her.
Seeing her coming, the boy immediately said, "Yesterday we called two friends to check together and eliminated four families. These four families only have very young girls and older mistresses, and no women of the right age."
Jiang Tuantuan gave them a thumbs up, and that left five.
The little boy immediately recommended his two friends to Jiang Tuantuan, saying, "They're more familiar with the people in the capital and know more than we do. We can ask them to help investigate while the two of us continue to keep an eye on the person."
Of course, he didn't mind having two more capable helpers, so he took out a handful of copper coins from his pocket and gave them to the little boy.
The boys went out confidently to find out the news.
After the boy left, Jiang Tuantuan also left the alley and went to Jiangyue Pavilion to see if Erliu had found a suitable courtyard.
The two little boys continued to squat at the entrance of the military camp, staring at the people coming in and out. In order to prevent being discovered, they placed a pile of haystacks on the side of the alley next to the military camp, and then sat on the haystacks. They were blocked by the small vendors in front of them, and if you didn't look carefully, you couldn't find them at all.
They even did not miss the lunch time. Each of them went to buy food alone, just buying some nearby without going far. After buying, they brought the food back and sat on the haystack to eat together.
I hardly drank any water the whole day, for fear that drinking too much water would force me to go to the toilet and delay things.
It can be said that it is the best effort of one's identity.
The other two little boys began to play to their strengths, that is, their familiarity with the capital, mainly referring to the various families in the capital. They might not know what happened in these big families, but they knew clearly where their families were, whether they were officials, what kind of officials they were, or whether they were businessmen, and what the caravans were called.
They even know about the trivial matters and relationships between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law in small families.
But this time the requirement is to find out if there are any women of appropriate age, and these five families are spread throughout the capital, so it is necessary to find the small leaders in each place.
Yes, that's what they call it. There are several people stationed in each area. They are absolutely familiar with this area, and even the housekeepers of those big families know them.
These little leaders are all young, the younger ones are seven or eight years old, and the older ones are only twelve or thirteen years old.
The little boy went to find the chief of the area and asked him about the news of this family. The chief told him everything without blinking an eye.
"This Lin family is a family of scholars. His grandfather was once an imperial censor, but by the time of his father's generation, things had fallen on hard times. He was just a minor official. When it came to his generation, things were even worse. He couldn't even become a minor official. Later, he went to school to teach."
"But he himself is very fond of women and has five concubines at home."
The boy's eyes widened in surprise, "How could he have taken concubines in so many years?"
