Shi Gui read the letter again from beginning to end, the heart he was carrying had just been put down, and he hung it up again, the letter was vaguely written, and the letter showed how Qiu Niang met Chen Niangzi, how she was rescued, and she was seriously ill after being rescued, all of which were clearly written, but the things after the illness were only mentioned in two sentences, neither said the plan, nor where it was, this letter was actually a letter that had not been replied to.

Shi Gui just wanted to send it, but she didn't know where to send it, she intuitively felt that there was something in it, otherwise why wouldn't it have been a letter for more than two years, pulled Shi Ju and asked, "Where is the person who sent the letter?"

Shi Ju was full of chagrin: "I happened to meet when I went out, if it weren't for the men who knew about you, I don't know how long this letter would have been pressed, if I knew that it was a letter from your mother, how could I keep people!"

The person who sent the letter didn't know where he went, Shi Gui didn't know where to find someone with the letter, Shi Ju shook her hand: "Since the letter was sent, it will come again, I told the door to keep an eye on it, if you come again, keep the person." ”

Shi Gui asked again what the messenger looked like, but Shi Ju couldn't say, she hurried over, and the person on the door didn't say, I really don't know who sent it.

Shi Gui brought it up again in one breath, the time was interrupted two years ago, and things continued two years ago, where did Qiu Niang go later? Who sent the letter, and where is he now, the three incidents are all mysteries.

Since Shi Ju touched this matter, there was no reason to stand by and said, "Don't worry, I'll go back and ask, and when I understand, the eldest brother of the Gao family will come to send you a letter, if someone comes again, I will keep the person." Shi Ju knew that she had been worried about it all these years, and it was already sad to hear that her family had suffered a disaster.

She was transferred from Ye's house to Song Yintang's house, except for Gao Sheng's house in the courtyard, even her words were useful, and it was not difficult to leave a messenger and order her to go down and reward some money.

Shi Gui had no other way, but he was more worried than not knowing the news, and told Shi Ju a few words, but he couldn't rest assured, Shi Ju pulled her: "Don't worry, as soon as there is news, I will send a letter immediately." Appeased and appeased, Shi Gui clutched the letter paper tightly and pulled the corners of his mouth at her, but he couldn't laugh.

In addition to waiting or waiting, Shi Gui went back to the house to spread out the paper, and couldn't write a letter after putting down the pen a few times, since the person sent it, he should come to get the letter back, she thought about it for a long time, said that she had seen Xizi, invited Qiu Niang to meet, and gave two taels of silver as travel expenses.

Don't dare to give too much, I'm afraid that the person who sent the letter is not reliable, if it is really a reliable one, it will not be delivered after two years, Shi Gui felt up and down in his heart, and asked Shi Ju to ask clearly, Shi Ju knew that she was worried, so he said again and again, and pulled her packing ticket: "Who entrusted the letter, and where is the person who sent the letter, I will ask one by one." ”

Shi Gui didn't want to say more, let out a long sigh, Shi Ju went to salute Ye Wenxin, Ye Wenxin pulled her not to kowtow, Shi Ju laughed: "The girl's business, the old lady said that it will be these two days, and then send someone to follow the boat and send you to Suizhou to reunite with the young master." ”

Ye Wenxin also let go of a matter in his heart, and his eyes were slightly red: "It's not good for me to go to the door to thank the old lady in person, thank you for me." "She made a Zhaojun set for the old lady these days, which was made of the leather given by the Song family, although the Ye family is gone, none of the things sent are harsh to her.

Ye's things were divided into two halves according to her instructions before her death, the pillow box was hidden in her private, and all the big things in the library were left to Song Yintang, and some small items had already been told to the old lady, leaving a few pieces for Yu Rong Zezhi, and giving the rest to Ye Wenxin.

said that Yu Rong Zezhi has a husband and a mother's family, Ye Wenxin has no mother's family, but I am afraid that it will be difficult to have a husband's family, these things are for her personal use, I beg the old lady to fulfill them, give her things, and let her live in peace.

The old lady also called Chunyan back for this, which one Ye said she wanted to give to Ye Wenxin, and which one was left for Song Yintang, Chunyan and Shi Ju pointed out, and when Ye Wenxin got out of the country, they were shipped to Suizhou together.

"Although it's been these two days, I'm afraid I'll have to wait when I go to Suizhou, the road is difficult in winter, Mrs. Song wants to wait for the beginning of spring, and the Ye family still has some things to sell, and the cage that was originally sent to the Song family was said to be for Song Yintang, and I don't want it at all, and I will return it to the Ye family sisters and brothers.

Shi Ju came back this time, and also brought a few of Ye's old winter clothes, Ye's clothes are not gorgeous and bright, Ye Wenxin is keeping filial piety, the most suitable, open the bag and show it to Ye Wenxin: "This close-fitting jacket is a gift from someone else, my wife has never put it on, and it is a pity to put it in vain, and I gave it to the girl to keep out the cold." ”

The close-fitting jacket is made of pearl skin, and it is strange that Ye is not on his body, Ye Wenxin glanced at it and smiled: "This is a gift from my aunt at home in the old years, and I originally had one." ”

The pearl skin is lambskin, light and warm, it is best to wear it in winter, the inside of the jacket is fur, and the outer head is covered with a layer of silk material, which is really made into the appearance of a jacket, and the buttons on it are still pearls.

Seeing Ye's old clothes, Ye Wenxin was a little sad, rubbing it in his hand, his eyes were red and he was about to cry, Shi Ju left something to say goodbye and went back, Ye Wenxin sat in front of the lamp for a long time, until the water chestnut brought hot water at night, she looked up and saw Shi Gui also sitting under the lamp in a daze, holding a letter paper in his hand, and he didn't move for a long time.

Ye Wenxin saw her like this, and comforted her twice: "Let's wait, since there is a letter, it is safe, don't worry too much." Walked over and reached out to caress her back, his eyes swept to the letter, and frowned slightly: "Don't be annoyed." As he spoke, he took the letter and read it.

Shi Gui did not shy away from it, she spread out Song Yintang's letters on the table, and did not avoid people at all, Ye Wenxin took the letter paper, looked at the paper carefully, and said after a while: "The oil stains on this letter are still new, and the ink stains are also new, it is impossible to write it for two years, I think, it is better to ask someone to find it in the city." ”

The writing is very ordinary, but the meaning of the text is rough, not written by someone on behalf of the letter-writing stall, and the paper and ink are also ordinary things, only the ink color can be seen to be newly written, and it is by no means an old letter.

Shi Gui heard the words and smoked the letter paper, sure enough, there was a little oil star, looking at it just gotten, seeing that the ink stain was Ye Wenxin's strength, she opened her mouth, that is true, Shi Gui did not doubt what was written in the letter, mentioning Qiu Niang Chen Niang and Yao Lucalyx, where will there be a fake, then I can't say, Qiu Niang is in Jinling City!

Shi Gui almost didn't mention it in one breath, he looked at Ye Wenxin in a daze, his eyes were sour, and he gritted his teeth and endured it: "I'll go into the city tomorrow!" At this time, it was getting late, the city gates were closed, there were so many gatehouses and shops in Jinling City, and they were all looking for them, how could they find them all, but she still made up her mind, everyone was close at hand, and she couldn't just miss it.

"I asked Mrs. Liu to take her daughter-in-law and son with me. She is the main family, she came to speak, and with a little more money, Mrs. Liu would go, and pulled Shi Gui tightly, happy for her in her heart: "It's good now, your family will always have a day of reunion." ”

Early in the morning of the second day, Shi Gui put on a plain jacket and went to shoot Mrs. Liu's door, Mrs. Liu was still lazily tying her trouser belt, and when she heard that she was going to enter the city to find someone, she was a little reluctant, and she might not be able to find it if she broke her leg

I don't know how much is hidden in each shop, and I have to find which year and month to go.

Shi Gui knew that she was not happy: "Don't let my mother spend her efforts in vain, I will give my mother money to start work, if your son and daughter-in-law are willing to help, I will give half a penny of silver a day!"

Before his eyes were about to turn, Shi Gui was already smiling: "If you find it, it must be three times thicker than this." Mrs. Liu was overjoyed, and hurriedly went out to her son's house, and asked her son and daughter-in-law to drive into the city.

At this time, the city gate has not been opened, only the peasants are ready to go into the city to sell, Shi Gui said carefully on the way to come, Dongcheng is a rich area, Qiu Niang will not live there when she comes, so she will start to find it from Xicheng first, ask one by one, it is best to ask the chief of security, who is coming, the chief of security knows in his heart.

Shi Gui is paid, she said that it is even worse, Mrs. Liu smiled shyly and responded to the last time, Shi Gui is also no one to support, otherwise it will not be entrusted to Mrs. Liu, get off the car first when you get to the place, and ask people one by one.

The foot shop inn has asked once, street by street, and asked all over Xicheng, but there is still no news, Shi Gui doesn't know if Qiu Niang is alone, and he is a little vague when he asks, he can't tell the number of people, only asks if there is a female guest, most of them shake their heads.

It is rare for a lone female guest to be alone, and then ask to understand that the age is even more wrong, the crowds on the street, Shi Gui tiptoed to see the people on the road, there is no one who looks like Qiu Niang back and forth, she has bitterness in her mouth, she has not seen her for many years, Xizi She has not been able to recognize it at a glance, Qiu Niang has suffered so much, maybe it is not the original appearance.

She was looking blankly at the street, looking for it all day, the water and rice were not exhausted, from the early morning when she entered the city, until the sun set in the west, there was no news, and she didn't know where the people were.

Shi Guisheng had a good color, stood on the side of the street for a while, and immediately someone came up to talk, and before the little lady could say anything, she was lifted up by the back of her neck and lifted back, Mingyue stood in front of her, frowned and asked, "Why are you standing here." ”

Shi Gui looked at him, speechless, before he had time to tell Sù Xizi, his mother came to him, and she was in the city, and she was about to open her mouth, and Mingyue asked her, "Have you eaten?"

She hadn't eaten for a day, her face was pale, her lips were bloody, and she shook her head when he asked, Mingyue took her to a small alley, and there was a stall at the door of the alley, selling a bowl of double fresh wontons for fifteen wen.

Mingyue picked up a clean table, asked her to sit still, and in a moment came over with several plates in her hands, two ingots eggs, two fried meat rolls, and a plate of garlic and white meat.

The wontons were delivered, and Mingyue took the water and scalded the spoon and handed it to Shi Gui: "The wontons here are delicious enough, half cheaper than those in Dongcheng." He wanted to buy thirty of them and go back to Xizi to eat, but he didn't expect to meet Shi Gui.

Shi Gui felt hungry when he smelled the fragrance, scooped one with a spoon, and told Mingyue about Qiu Niang's letter, Mingyue saw her like this and knew that she was not looking for it: "You just ask next to each other, why don't you come to me?"

Mingyue gave a gift, sat on a cold bench for a day, things were sent, no one saw it, it stands to reason that there is no fake and no longer come out, Wu Qianhu said that he wanted to see him, he just went out of the camp gate, how do you know that he waited for most of the day, it was easy for Lord Wu to be empty, and someone sent a post to invite him to eat and drink, and he said goodbye to Mingyue Ming'er.

Shi Gui hung her head, Xicheng has been found, where else will it be, it will not go to live in the inn in Dongcheng, where did Qiu Niang get all this money from in the north and south, not to mention the north and south, they are all paved restaurants, and they will not be there, she bit her lip and thought about it, Mingyue gave her two more wontons in her bowl, inserted an ingots egg with chopsticks, chewed it in two bites, and asked for a bowl of wonton soup: "You eat first, I'll take you to find it after eating." ”
