Chapter 267: Full of sadness

After Lan Jing read the confession that Qin Ziyun sent her, she fell into deep thought, obviously she was still very hard a few days ago, why did she suddenly confess?

This seems reasonable, if it weren't for seeing outsiders, she would have believed it. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info

"Giggles"

"Enter" Lan Jing did not raise his head and continued to read other people's confessions.

Zhang Biao pushed open the door and strode in, and after saluting, "Shizi, the subordinates have arrested that person." ”

Lan Jing looked up in surprise, "Where are you now?" ”

"In prison, but he insisted that he didn't know, that he was just a businessman, and that he went to the mountains to talk to them about buying grain." Zhang Biao replied, "By the way, Shizi, Wang Qiang is back, but he didn't bring anyone with him. ”

Lan Jing frowned, "What about Wang Qiang?" ”

"He said he wasn't worried about the people here, so he watched it himself." Zhang Biao responded.

Lan Jing nodded, "You go and send a message to the cell boss and ask him to keep an eye on people, if there is anything wrong with those people, it's not just a matter of losing their heads." ”

Zhang Biao hurriedly responded and then turned to leave, Lan Jing thought about it and stood up and walked out.

………

Qin Ziyun's study is not in the courtyard, which may have something to do with the office.

Lan Jing walked in with his hands behind his back, and the guards were stunned for a moment, and hurriedly knelt on the ground and saluted.

Hearing the voice, Qin Ziyun stood up, looked at Lan Jing who entered through the door and asked, "Is there something wrong with Xiao Jing coming over?" ”

Lan Jing performed a junior ceremony, she was inexplicably accustomed to the etiquette of this era, and after the ceremony, she smiled lightly and said, "Uncle Cousin, I want to ask you for a favor." ”

Qin Ziyun pointed to the chair beside him, "Sit down and talk." So saying, he sat down as well.

Lan Jing nodded his head, sat down on the chair and said, "That's the case, I want to ask you to send someone to each county or even town to count the number of missing girls." ”

Qin Ziyun felt Lan Jing's seriousness, and couldn't help but pay attention to it, "This missing girl, as long as she reports to the official, the yamen has a file, and it is not difficult to find out." ”

"You can't just look at the official who has reported to the official, but also let people check if there is anyone who has not reported to the official, after all, if the person is lost, many people can't remember to report to the official, and they may directly believe that they have eloped with someone." Lan Jing said.

Qin Ziyun nodded, "I'll let people count it early tomorrow morning." ”

Lan Jing stood up and saluted, "Thank you Uncle Cousin first." ”

"What I said, if such a thing happens in a place under my jurisdiction, I am also ashamed of the emperor, and I will do my best to cooperate with you." Qin Ziyun also stood up as she spoke.

Lan Jing smiled, "I hope that after this time, no one will be bold again." ”

………

Lin Chu was busy all day and thought that he hadn't seen Xiao Jing today, so he walked out of the Lin Family Medical Hall after eating.

Halfway through, he stopped again, no, he had to dry Xiaojing for two days, thinking of this, he turned around and walked back to the hospital.

Lin Yi looked at Lin Chu who came in from outside, and asked in surprise, "Why did you come back so soon?" Xiao Jing is not at home? ”

Lin Chu shook his head, "I haven't been there yet..."

"Did you forget to take something?" Lin Yi asked.

Lin Chu shook his head again, "No, that's it, it's okay anyway." With that, he walked briskly back to his room.

Yang came out of the room and asked in a low voice, "What's wrong with Xiao Chu?" ”

Lin Yi spread his hands, "I'm also inexplicable, he just thought about going to Xiao Jing's house, and now he came back before he arrived." ”

Yang sighed, since she knew that the young master was coming, she couldn't put on the posture of an elder, facing Xiao Chu, she always had a feeling of shame for him, and she didn't know why.

Watching him walk in yesterday, her heart was about to stop, and she thought he would never come back.

When he called her mother again, she really felt like she was dreaming, and now she was still in a trance.

"Mother, what are you taking this? Hey, there's my name on it. Lin Yi tilted his head sideways and looked at the words on the box.

Yang smiled and handed the box over, "Xiao Jing took it and put it in my room, I forgot it." ”

Lin Yi held the box in her hand, the pattern of the wooden box painted with red sandalwood was clear, and she couldn't help but open it curiously.

Seeing the complete set of ruby jewelry lying quietly in the box, Lin Yi couldn't help but exclaim, "It's so beautiful!" Even if she doesn't like to wear jewelry, she can't help but be moved.

Yang Shi heard the sound and looked over, and was instantly stunned, this, she had only seen such jewelry on the young lady, but Sister Xiaolan told her at that time that it was all custom-made and worth thousands of taels of silver.

"Mother, this is what Xiao Jing gave me? That's too expensive, isn't it? After Lin Yi was amazed, she began to feel that she must be awkward to wear such valuable jewelry.

Yang suddenly turned around and walked into the room when he thought of something, and when he came out again, he also had a box in his hand. Her hand trembled slightly, and she paused for a moment before raising her hand to open the box.

There is also a complete set of jewelry in the box, which is better than the one in Lin Yi's hand, and the royal blue gemstone is more eye-catching than the ruby.

"This, this Xiaojing, how much money did it cost?" Yang's voice trembled.

"Mother, this is too precious..."Lin Yi said, his gaze moved from the ruby jewelry to Yang's face.

Yang touched the jewelry in the box, "Well, you can't take it, let's return it." As he spoke, he closed the box.

Lin Yi also closed the box, "Mother, you can take it and return it." ”

Yang nodded, held the box in his arms, and walked out of the medical hall with a somewhat messy step.

As soon as she left the hospital, her heartbeat couldn't help but accelerate, and the distance that usually feels very close feels far away today.

She looked left and right from time to time, for fear that someone would suddenly jump out and rob her.

Finally arrived at Lan's house, she exhaled, saw the door open, and hurriedly squeezed in.

Lan Xiao originally grabbed the doorknob with both hands and planned to open the door, but the Yang family was in a hurry to open the door and squeezed in, she was stunned for a moment, and she didn't react until the Yang family walked away, and couldn't help muttering in her heart: Aunt Lin, what's wrong? What made her rush like this?

Yang walked straight to the door of Lan Jing's room, which was empty, she thought for a moment and then walked towards Wang's room.

Although the six-month-old Lan Xuan can't climb yet, she rolls very fast, and if she doesn't look at her for a while, she may fall out of bed.

Wang sat on the edge of the bed and folded her clothes while taking care of her, busy with her hands.

Yang knocked on the door, and when she heard Wang shouting in, she hurriedly walked in.

Wang glanced up at her and smiled, "Why do you have time to come?" ”

Yang put the box down, "It's not for the jewelry in these two boxes, you say, such a valuable thing, this Xiaojing..."

Wang stretched out his hand and patted her, "Take it, this is Xiao Jing's intention." ”

"Have you seen the jewelry in the box?" Yang asked tentatively, she felt that if such a valuable thing was given away, if it was her daughter, she would have a pain in her flesh.

Wang smiled, "These jewelry were brought back by Lin Chu when he came back for the first time, and they were placed here with me at that time, and I originally planned to send them to you, but then I thought that Lin Chu said that there were gifts later, so I thought about waiting for the things to arrive and send them together." ”

Yang swallowed, "This is all sky-high things, and it's a waste to give it to me, or..."

"See that layer upon layer of box on the dresser? That was what Xiao Jing asked her father to make, and she said she bought me some jewelry. Wang had warmth in his eyes and a smile on the corner of his mouth.

Yang turned his head to look at it and then turned around, "How many layers of jewelry do you have to put so many layers to be full?" ”

"I guess there are more than a dozen." Wang replied with a smile.

Yang smashed his mouth, a little dumbfounded.

Wang glanced at her and said in a low voice: "Actually, I rarely wear jewelry, but this is the child's heart, and it is difficult to refuse." Besides, if you have a set of exquisite jewelry, you just don't wear it, and it's good to look at it for a long time. ”

Yang's heart was moved when she heard this, this kind of jewelry, she also touched it for the first time, when she was in the Guogong Mansion before, she was only a second-class maid, and she couldn't enter the room, and occasionally saw it on the young lady's body.

"Take it back, what Xiao Jing chose must be the most suitable for you, don't you praise everyone for how good the hairpin she gave you?" Wang smiled.

Yang thought for a while and nodded, "By the way, why didn't I see Xiao Jing, what about her?" ”

"She's gone to the county, what, didn't she tell you?" Wang looked up at her and asked.

Yang shook his head, "Not only didn't she tell us, but Xiao Chu didn't know that she went to the county." ”

Wang frowned, this kid, what is this for? Don't...

"Forget it, the child has children's considerations, probably thinking about going back quickly, so I won't talk about it." Yang saw Wang's frowning and hurriedly said with relief.

Wang sighed, "Xiao Jing is a child with ideas, many things, she is obedient on the surface, and then she does what she wants. ”

Yang sighed when he heard this, when they were young, they all listened to their parents, and when they finally became parents, they changed the direction of the wind and became obedient to their children.

………

Qin Ziyun gave an order, and the officials below were busy.

After two days, the list of missing girls in the county was finally placed on Lan Jing's bookcase. Lan Jing counted it, and there were actually more than twenty people.

These 20 or so people have not reported to the official, and with the addition of those who have reported to the official, there are as many as 30 people.

Where did all these teenage girls go? This question has been haunting Lan Jing's mind.

"Shizi, this missing girl didn't add up to more than half a year in the previous years, and she disappeared silently, it's so strange." Wang Qiang said.

Lan Jing nodded, "So many girls are gone, there must be an output, you send someone to the major Qinglou to secretly investigate, to see if there are any new female tricks, remember, it is a secret investigation, and if there is any news, report it immediately." ”

"Yes." Wang Qiang retreated.

Lan Jing scratched her head in annoyance, she didn't do anything about it, what should she do next?

"Giggles" accompanied by a knock on the door, Chen Xiang's voice sounded, "Shizi, Lord Qin, please move to the main hall for dinner." ”

"Meals?" She has been here for so long, and basically eats in the yard where she lives, why did she suddenly think of inviting her to dinner?

After thinking about it, she walked to the door, looked at Chen Xiang and asked, "What did Uncle Cousin say?" ”

Chen Xiang shook his head, "Steward Qin came to invite me." Others are outside. ”

Lan Jing turned sideways and looked out, Qin Dong also happened to come over, he immediately saluted and said, "I have seen the prince, the old slave came over to invite the prince to dinner on the order of my master." ”

"Get up and talk about it, but what's the joy?" Lan Jing walked out and looked at him two steps and asked.

"If you go back to the world, today is the birthday of the eldest lady." Qin Dong responded.

Lan Jing has a black line, and the person is not here, what birthday do you have?

………

In the main hall, Qin Ziyun took a seat, and to his right was Mrs. Qin, and next to Mrs. Qin was Qin Tongyu.

Qin Tongyu saw Lan Jing who walked in, and hurriedly said, "Brother Jing, come and sit here with your cousin." ”

Lan Jing laughed silently, "Xiao Yu, if you call yourself aunt, you should call me Xiao Jing, if you call me Brother Jing, you have to call yourself Xiao Yu." Got it? ”

Qin Tongyu was entangled for a moment, "Then I'll call you Xiao Jing." Remember to call me my cousin in the future. ”

"Okay, cousin, I'll listen to you." Lan Jing sat down in a chair.

Mrs. Qin smiled, made a gesture, and the maid retreated.

When she came in again, she brought with her a dozen servants with trays.

Lan Jing sat upright, for the food they served, in fact, she didn't have any expectations in her heart, the things in this county guard mansion were not as delicious as the Lu mansion.

Sure enough, the taste is still familiar, but there are a few more things that I haven't eaten.

After being full of wine and food, Qin Ziyun said with misty eyes: "Xiao Jing, do you have a favorite girl?" ”

Lan Jing glanced at Mrs. Qin, "Uncle Cousin, you're drunk." ”

"I, I'm not drunk, I, how can I be drunk." He laughed as he spoke, "I'll tell you, ah, she didn't die, she just hid sadly, and she will definitely come out." ”

Lan Jing saw that Mrs. Qin's eyes were red, and her heart was a little sour, and she couldn't help but say sternly: "Qin Ziyun, are you a man, you are married and still thinking about other women, do you have a heart." ”

When Mrs. Qin heard this, tears burst out of her eyes, all these years, did he think he was the only one who was wronged? In fact, she was more aggrieved.

At that time, their family didn't do anything, just because of this marriage contract and this result, their family was pointed at behind their backs for many years. Even today, there are still people who don't know what happened maliciously about the events of the past.

Qin Ziyun was dizzy, but his mind was clear, he listened to Lan Jing's words, and his heart was shocked, didn't he have a heart?

Thinking of this, he looked at Mrs. Qin, who was in tears, and his heart was instantly sullen.

Qin Tongyu didn't know why, but when she saw her mother crying, she hurriedly reached out to wipe her tears, "Mother, what's wrong with you?" ”

When she saw her mother desperately crying and couldn't answer her, her tears also welled up.

In the end, the mother and daughter hugged each other and cried upside down.

Lan Jing was originally full of sadness, but now he is speechless.

Qin Dong saw his old man lying on the table with a pop, and hurriedly ordered the little servant to help the people down to rest, and drove the extra subordinates out.

Today's scene, he also felt a little sad when he saw it, the lord has the suffering of the master, and the lady has the suffering of the lady, who can blame him? I can only complain that the sky is playing tricks on people!
