Chapter 718: Missing

In the residential area of the south of Annan City, from the entrance of the street here, you can feel the people living here, and the quiet and deep in the courtyard.

After Su Qingzhi and his party walked in, there were pedestrians on the road, their steps were slow, their faces were peaceful, and after they met, they raised their eyes to see each other avoiding each other.

Su Qingzhi felt that the air was naturally cold, and then everyone naturally relaxed their steps, they looked at each other, and no one spoke at this time, for fear of disturbing the tranquility at this time.

The yard rented by the county lord is in the middle of this street, and I heard that the owner's family is now living elsewhere, or he can't give up this yard, and he is reluctant to leave the yard vacant and deserted, so he can only let relatives and friends watch others rent it.

The people sent by the county lord's family, when they came to rent the yard, it happened that the previous tenant had a place to go, and this place was not long empty, and the inside was very good, of course, there was a lot of rental silver.

Su Qingzhi and his entourage walked to the door of the courtyard of the county lord, and Mrs. Wang stepped forward and tapped on the door, and a very impatient voice came from inside: "My master is on business, if you have something, go to the official mansion." ”

Mrs. Wang hurriedly smiled and whispered, "Little brother, Mrs. Lin and we are coming to visit your master, can you help me report it." ”

"Mrs. Lin?" There was a deep voice inside, and then the courtyard door quickly opened, and a middle-aged man looked at the people outside the door, and looked at Su Qingzhi with a calm expression.

He whispered, "I'm sorry, you wait outside the door for a while, and I'll have someone tell my master." ”

He left, never closed the courtyard door, Su Qingzhi looked inside a few times, the yard was elegantly decorated, and the flowers planted around the yard were swaying with the summer breeze.

The fragrance of flowers is light, and there are girls coming and going in the yard, and they are walking around as if they have never seen people outside the courtyard gate.

Mrs. Wang glanced at Su Qingzhi's expression, and she found that the young county magistrate's wife was quite calm, and in such a neglected situation, she behaved as calm and calm.

Instead, the two ladies who came with them muttered in a low voice: "We have been here once, and this time we will never see anyone again, and we have done our best, and next time, we will never come again." ”

When they came, they bought a few gifts on the way, and naturally waited until they returned to calculate the money they would give.

Su Qingzhi's original meaning, she just wanted to bring the same beautiful gift to the door, the courtesy was light and affectionate, after all, it was only the first meeting, don't be too grand.

On the way, after listening to Mrs. Wang's explanation of the rules for visiting patients in Annan City, she felt that she would follow the customs of the villagers and obey everyone's wishes.

She could see that Mrs. Wang also had a painful look on her face, but she turned to Su Qingzhi and whispered: "The last time we went to visit, we didn't see anyone, and when we left, the gift also asked the girl to send out of the courtyard door, and returned to the one like that."

We quietly returned the gift to the store on the way, and then gave the store some small money that changed hands. ”

Su Qingzhi listened to it very cokely, what Mrs. Wang meant, this county lady is gone, and their losses can be less.

The porter came out quickly, he was smiling, but a look of disdain flashed in his eyes, and he smiled and said, "The steward of my master's side, please welcome guests in." ”

Mrs. Wang and the other two ladies did not have any surprised looks, they looked at Su Qingzhi, and she naturally led the way.

But the porter stayed where he was, but said to them, "Go to the left, and someone will come to meet you." ”

The look on Su Qingzhi's face faded, she decided to come down, in the future, even if there is a chance, she and this county lady can only communicate politely.

The four of them took a few steps to the left, and a little girl came out, and the way she looked at people was very displeased.

She looked at the four of them, her eyes fell on Su Qingzhi's body, her brows were furrowed, and she said, "Madam, my master is not free now, it was my sister next to the master who asked me to greet her, so she can take a look at the master's physical condition first." ”

Su Qingzhi is completely relaxed now, she takes a look at the scenery in the yard, and only feels that the courtyard is full of people, but it is so quiet that it does not seem to be home.

In the main courtyard, the little girl stopped and looked at what she meant, it was the people who came to the door, and they were not qualified to enter to take a look.

Su Qingzhi was also curious about the family background behind the county lord and his wife at this time, what kind of person from a cow family is this, looking at the eyebrows of the people, they will only look up at the sky, and they will not look down at the ground.

Mrs. Wang exchanged glances with the other two, the last time they came to receive a cold reception, they thought that their husband's official character was not enough, but after Su Qingzhi came this time, they were treated the same.

Su Qingzhi looked at the gifts in the hands of the other two ladies, and she felt that this time it was about to be returned again.

The summer breeze blew slightly, and after they waited outside the main courtyard for a while, this time a big girl of eighteen or nineteen years old came out, she came over, she bent down and saluted Su Qingzhi and said, "Hello Mrs. Lin, my master is weak, and he really can't get up." ”

Su Qingzhi looked at her and smiled slightly, and said, "After I came here, I heard about your master's situation, so I wanted to come to visit someone.

These three ladies are equally concerned about your master, and we have come together. Alas, now that you know that your lady's health is so bad, then don't bother your lady's recuperation because we are here. ”

Su Qingzhi said with a smile, from the porter to the little girl to the big girl's face, she couldn't see a trace of the sick and sad look of the hostess in the family.

The big girl, dressed in blue clothes, smiled slightly and said: "Mrs. Lin is reasonable, the doctor did say that my master needs to recuperate, and now that the family is following the doctor's instructions, we don't dare to speak out loud." ”

Su Qingzhi naturally wouldn't stay any longer, and the other two ladies handed over the gifts in their hands.

Su Qingzhi saw the disgust in the eyes of the eldest girl, and heard her say politely: "My master is recuperating, and I am embarrassed to accept this gift, so I can only thank you for your concern." ”

The two ladies insisted on handing it over, but the eldest girl immediately dodged the past, but beckoned the two little girls to come and help the ladies carry the gifts out.

Su Qingzhi took a look at the big girl's face, she smiled and said to the three people who came with her, "It's not early, let's go."

In the future, for the sake of the recuperation of Mrs. County, we will not come again, but if we care about Mrs. County, we will ask our family to send a post to express our hearts. ”
