Chen Afu heard someone from the embroidery workshop behind his head greeting the little boy, "Little Brother Wang, what are you going to sell today?" ”

The boy smiled, "Shopkeeper Li, this time it is a medium-sized piece, 'Cat Rolling Hydrangea', which can be used as a kang screen or an ornament." ”

She glanced back at the little boy's back, thin and thin. Another child who is running for life.

She didn't think much about it, and led Yang Qian back to the restaurant.

Several men were talking lively, Yang Mingyuan was the main speaker, and Chen Ayu was second. Chu Lingxuan only said two sentences from time to time, in addition to talking a lot with Chen Afu and Chu Hanyan, he spared words like gold with others. Yang Chao sat and listened like a little adult, and it seemed that Yang Mingyuan had already begun to train him.

Yang Qian happily showed her father and brother the flowers on her head and the purse in her hand.

Chen Afu sat down and drank a few sips of tea, and the two tables of hot pot had been set up. Three men at a table, Chen Afu led two children at a table.

The taste of the hot pot is very good, which carries forward Chen Afu's teachings and incorporates them into the food characteristics here.

But Chen Afu always felt that there was something to do in his heart, and he was a little restless. When she was halfway through it, a flash of inspiration flashed through her mind, and she thought about why she had always felt that something was wrong in her heart. It turned out that the child she met just now looked like Chen Alu, and Chen Alu looked like Wang, and the child was also surnamed Wang...... Although the little uncle changed his name to Li Gouyu, he was sold at the age of six, and his name must be remembered, and it is possible that he changed it later.

It's just that now after so much time, the kid is gone, right? Regardless of whether you go or not, there is no regret when you inquire clearly.

She said to the nurse behind the two children, "You take care of your brother and sister. He got up and said to a few men at the other table, "You eat slowly, I have something to do with Shui Linglong Embroidery Workshop." ”

Chu Lingxuan asked, "What's the matter?" ”

Chen Afu said, "I met a boy in Shui Linglong just now, and I thought he looked a little like Ah Lu, and his surname was Wang, and I wanted to go and see him." ”

Chu Lingxuan knew how much Chen Afu's family was looking forward to finding Wang Cheng, so he got up and said, "I'll accompany you." ”

Yang Mingyuan and Chen Ayu also got up to go together.

Chen Afu smiled, "That boy may not really be related to my uncle, where is such a coincidence." I'm just going to see, and you continue to eat. ”

Chen Ayu said, "After all this time, that child must have left." I am familiar with Shui Linglong's shopkeeper and help inquire. He said to Chu Lingxuan and Yang Mingyuan, "General Chu and Boss Yang, please continue to drink, and I will accompany my sister." ”

Chu Lingxuan is Chen Ayu's brother-in-law, Yang Mingyuan is his brother-in-law, one is a high-ranking general, and the other is a direct leader. Both of these people are very good to him, but Chen Ayu is not pampered and spoiled, and never calls them brother-in-law or brother-in-law in public.

Chen Afu sister and brother took a few people to Shui Linglong, and the child was really gone.

Chen Ayu asked the shopkeeper again if he knew where his family lived and who was in the family.

The shopkeeper Lu said, "I only know that his name is Brother Wang, his mother's surname is Wu, and his family lives in the eastern suburbs of the capital. ”

Chen Afu was extremely disappointed when he heard this.

Chen Ayu comforted Chen Afu and said, "Sister, don't worry, the next time Brother Wang comes to sell embroidery, let the shopkeeper Lu notify me." ”

Shopkeeper Lu smiled, "Then Chen Er's shopkeeper will have to wait a long time." As you know, we are very picky about the work outside the water and must embroider finely. This Seiko out of slow work, a pair of small embroidery generally two months to embroider a pair, embroidery to more than half a year to embroider a pair. Brother Wang's mother is not in good health, so she is even slower to do work. Brother Wang is here today, and it will be three to four months from now. ”

Chen Ayu said to Chen Afu again, "My sister can rest assured to return to her hometown." When Brother Wang came to the embroidery workshop again, I asked clearly, if he was really related to my sister's uncle, I would ask someone to send a letter to my sister.

At this time, Xiao Er came over and said, "Chen Er's shopkeeper, that little brother Wang seems to be very familiar with Shanzi in your restaurant, once I saw him talking to Shanzi." ”

Chen Ayu heard this and said happily, "This is easy to do." ”

When they returned to Hongyun Restaurant, Chen Ayu called a seventeen or eighteen-year-old descendant over and asked, "Shanzi, are you familiar with Brother Wang, who often goes to Shui Linglong to sell embroidery?" ”

Shanzi is the second child in the restaurant, and hurriedly said to Chen Ayu, "I am neighbors with Brother Wang, of course I know each other very well." What does the second shopkeeper want to know about him? ”

Chen Ayu said, "No matter how big or small, as long as it is the matter of Little Brother Wang, I will say it." And he said, "Go to the private room." ”

A few people went back to the private room and listened to Shanzi talk about the situation of Little Brother Wang.

Wang Xiaodi and Shanzi both live in Jiuli Village, which is about a dozen miles away from the capital.

His father, who was in his thirties, fed horses in the left guard camp, because his left hand was missing four fingers, and he was known as Wang Liuzhi. This nickname was called out, but his real name was not mentioned, and Shanzi did not know.

His mother was known as Wu, and her embroidery skills were very good, and she began to make embroidery for Shui Linglong Embroidery Workshop when she was young. But the body is not very good, except for embroidery, I can't do heavy work. He also has a five-year-old sister.

The life of the family is not very easy, and they live in a few grass houses.

Chen Afu asked, "Brother Wang's father was feeding horses in the army, so there should be a military sound." His mother can make embroidery, especially if she can sell it to an embroidery house like Shui Linglong, the price should not be low. There are only four people in the family, how can life not be easy? ”

Shanzi said, "Aunt Wang's maiden family is from our village, because of her good embroidery, her mother's family has been reluctant to marry her off." said that she is good at embroidery, and whoever marries her is equivalent to marrying a cornucopia. Her mother's family asked for a dowry of 100 taels of silver before they were willing to marry her. People who can afford a hundred taels of dowry, who is still rare for an embroidery girl, so no one has been proposing. When she was eighteen years old, she went to the capital to sell embroidery work, and was molested, and the military master Wang Liuzhi saved her. Why did the two look at each other, Uncle Wang didn't have so much money, and he borrowed some silver to make up enough for thirty taels. He went to discuss with Aunt Wang's mother's family again, and repaid ten taels of silver every year, and the Wu family agreed. Seventy taels of silver, plus interest, have not been repaid yet. ”

This mother's family is hateful enough.

However, after listening to so much, there are only three useful information, which is also close to Wang Cheng, that is, the surname Wang, who is in his thirties, and works in the army.

This information had already made Chen Afu happy, and she wanted to go to the little brother Wang's house in Jiuli Village to have a look.

Chu Lingxuan said, "Now it takes at least one and a half hours to go out of the city to Jiuli Village, and it is late for a woman to take a car. Besides, the people in the barracks don't go home every day, and you may not be able to see Wang Liuzhi if you go. There is a brother I know in the camp on the left, and I will now have people ride to the camp to inquire about his condition, and I will know the news by tomorrow at the latest. If that man is like your uncle, I will go with you. ”

That's the only way to do it.

Chu Lingxuan asked people to call the soldiers who were eating in the hall up, and after a few orders, the man hurried away.
