Although the status of merchants in the Great Zhou Dynasty has improved compared with the previous dynasty, they are still more than one head shorter in front of the real high-ranking families, not to mention people like Qin's mother, even Master Cheng occasionally comes to the Yuan Mansion in the name of visiting his eldest brother, and he does not dare to come too often.

Qin's mother knows that a lady like Yuan Er Girl usually doesn't go out lightly, and it must be very difficult for her to see each other, although her young master and Yuan Er girl have a friendship with each other, but after all, there is a difference between men and women, and the Cheng family doesn't have a girl for her to use as an excuse, so it is not appropriate to ask Miss Dou to visit the boy.

She wandered around the gate of the Yuan Mansion for nearly a cup of tea, and finally made up her mind to go to the Yuan Mansion first in the name of visiting her uncle.

The concierge of the Yuan Mansion was not such a bully slave, but when he saw a woman with eyes, he still asked a few words as usual.

Mother Qin saw that the other party's attitude was very kind, and the whole person was much more relaxed, and said very politely: "The slave family is the nurse of Young Master Xiaofei of Chengfu, and today I came to the house to find my uncle, it is Mr. Zhu Yi Zhu, please let the eldest brother help pass it on." ”

The little fat porter knew him, and his attitude was much better, he took off the dry tobacco pouch in his mouth and knocked the cigarette ash on the door frame: "Big sister, Mr. Zhu is going to go to Shandong with the master to take care of chores in his own house, and he hasn't been to the house for several days." ”

Mother Qin was a little anxious, and then hurriedly asked: "Then please ask the eldest brother to do me another favor, the slave family wants to see the second girl in the house." ”

When the porter heard this, his brows furrowed, "You are here to entertain me, Mr. Zhu for a while, Mr. Zhu for a while, the second girl, our second girl went out with the master today, I don't know when I will come back, if you are willing to wait, you will wait here." ”

Mother Qin was relieved that the young master who was having a temper in the house had no choice but to say to the porter: "Big brother, I really have something urgent to find the second girl, can you help me pass on a word, just say that our young master has been sick for several days and has not eaten, I am afraid that I will not be able to come and see off the girl, please forgive the girl." ”

The people who can be the porter are very good at observing words and feelings, and they know that she wants her second girl to visit the young master of the Cheng family, but she doesn't dare to speak. It's not difficult to bring a word, he casually agreed, "Okay, you have something to do, I'll definitely bring the word." ”

Yuan Zheng's carriage has always driven directly into the mansion through the side door, this porter is quite sincere, waiting by the side door early, as soon as he saw the carriage coming, he learned the words of Qin's mother to Yuan Zheng and Doudou.

"Daddy, the little fat brother even refuses to eat?" Doudou and the little fat man have been together for several years, it's not that they haven't seen him sick, it is said that this kind of thing can't eat can happen to him, who is he gambling with!

Seeing the second daughter's disbelieving look, Yuan Zheng smiled and said: "When people are sick, they will naturally not be able to eat, so you can go and see Xiaofei later." ”

Doudou pestled his chin and said, "Daddy, when will the case of the last kidnapping be closed?"

The former Yen levy sent to Chengfu to spy on the people found out that a steward in the Cheng Mansion had been arrested, and the person had already been handed over to the prefect's yamen, and it was said that the steward confessed to the kidnapping, but the conclusion could not be reached until the Zheng prefect personally tried it.

Doudou is not satisfied with this result, although Master Cheng is a businessman, he is naturally more expensive in business, and it is inevitable to offend people.

But as far as she knows, the Cheng Mansion is not strict with its subordinates, if a steward is really short of money, it is normal to steal money and things from the mansion, and the nature of kidnapping the young master is completely different, even if there is no life, he will be exiled.

And the little fat brother is also strange about this illness, he was scared sick? He was not sick when he was kidnapped, and he was not sick when he was first rescued, but after all these days, he became ill, who would believe this.

"Yuan'er, there are always certain procedures for adjudicating cases, and these are naturally done by Governor Zheng. As for whether that person is the real murderer, things will come to light one day. These strange signs can naturally be seen, but he is not in his position and does not seek his own politics, and it is inconvenient for him to meddle in the affairs of Hangzhou Mansion.

Doudou replied softly, thinking in his heart what to bring to see the little fat brother later, that guy is really promising, and he has learned to go on a hunger strike!

※※※※

After lunch, Doudou instructed the chefs to prepare a few exquisite foods, and he hurriedly went back to Doudouju to change into simple clothes, and went out with the two of them.

Chengfu was only half an hour away from Yuanfu by carriage, and soon several people came to the door of Chengfu.

No one dared to stop the young lady of the Yuan Mansion, and the subordinates directly took Doudou and his party to the courtyard where the little fat man lived.

Doudou, the little fat man's yard, has been here a few times before, and it has always been rich and luxurious and very lively. Today, the feeling for her is completely different, the furniture has not changed, but there are fewer people moving around, showing a little deserted.

Mother Qin heard that Doudou arrived so soon and trotted out, Yuan Er girl was different from all the girls she had ever seen, generous, cheerful, arrogant but never arrogant, even in the face of subordinates like them, she never put on a fight, no wonder her young master liked to be with her the most.

"Mother Qin, is the little fat brother better?" Doudou didn't want to waste time on saluting and saying hello, so he directly grabbed Mother Qin.

Mother Qin's eyes were red, and she choked up: "It's still like that, if you don't eat, drink or talk, you're worried about the old slave." ”

Doudou saw that the little fat man's little maids were all standing outside the house, knowing that he definitely didn't want to see too many people, he took the big food box in Cai Sang's hand, ordered the two maids to guard outside the house, and walked in with Qin's mother.

Obviously it was noon, but the curtains in the little fat man's house were all down, the light was very dim, and the strangeness in Doudou's heart was even stronger, Master Cheng was not at home, Mrs. Cheng gave birth to a child, but the little fat brother was still the future heir of Cheng Mansion, could those subordinates be so bold as to dare to snub him like this?

I saw a huge mass arched on the wide shelf bed, probably hearing the footsteps of someone walking into the house, and the little fat man shrank into the quilt again, and he couldn't even see his head.

"Little fat brother, little fat brother......" Doudou walked to the side of the bed and whispered a few words, but the little fat man still didn't move.

Alas...... A few days ago, it was said that an angry middle-aged uncle is more of a headache than a crying fat boy, but in fact, there is no difference at all!

She simply lifted the little fat man's quilt, but ...... The next scene she saw made her heart ache like never before, the fat boy was still the same fat boy, but the whole person looked very depressed, his fat face was very pale, his eyes were full of pain, and there was a faint hint of despair.

Doudou knew that he was wrong, and the little fat brother was by no means on a hunger strike, but encountered a very difficult thing.
