Chapter 90: Kidnapping
Concubine Han in King Yi's Mansion frowned and complained: "Didn't you say okay, go and tie up the ninth master of their family? Why did you tie up the girl of their family, the restaurant and the fields outside their house are all the ninth master in Zhang Luo." What's the use of grabbing that beauty lamp, it's making so much noise now?"
Xiao Wu Shimo is a close confidant of Han Zaiqi, Han Bianfei's uncle, and at this time he stood there silently and replied: "At first, I wanted to catch Xia Jiuye, but these days, he doesn't go out, these days, the girl in their family can still touch the shadow." Which Cheng thought that the eighth master, who was usually inconspicuous, was like a mad dog, biting everywhere. The prince is also too indulgent of the Xia family, and he doesn't care about it in the yamen. ”
Concubine Han smiled slightly, and thought to herself: "Although the wrong person was arrested, the matter is complete." I just want this Yanbei to be in chaos, and the eighth child of the Xia family is doing just right, which saves me trouble. Aren't you going to have a birthday, I'll let you have a good time, hum, hum, and a painful, happy birthday!"
Shimo hesitated for a moment and said: "This eighth master is really a mess, several yamen were confused by him, and the Zhang family couldn't bear it." He put down his words - they are not the only ones in this world who have daughters in the Xia family. ”
Concubine Han shook her head incomprehensibly: "Let him toss for a few days first, and when the things we want to do are done, it's not too late to clean up their brothers and sisters." ”
Shimo hesitated for a long time, and had to respond: "Yes." Then he withdrew.
Concubine Han is less than forty years old, and she had a small melon seed face when she was young, and she couldn't help it at this time, and she became mellow. It turns out that the slender chin also has a double chin, which shows a little wider. She wore a silver-red fragrant cloud woven gold half-arm, half-leaning on the pillow. Underneath was a pleated skirt with silver and white carved silk. The silver-red embroidered shoes with black velvet cloud toe on the feet are exposed, and a light blue gemstone is inlaid on the toe.
Liu Huanhuan, who was beside her, sighed and said after watching the little girl come out of the small courtyard: "The second master is too reckless to do things, so... moved other people's daughters, but it was a big taboo. ”
Concubine Han let out a long breath: "Huan Huan's courage is also too small, such a small family, if you want to fight with us, hum! In the future, the people who will follow the prince of the world are also vigilant. ”
Liu Huanhuan said: "This is strange. This Xia Jiu Ye is more powerful than the Eighth Master. Now their family is afraid of ruining the girl's reputation, and they all say that Xia Jiuye has been kidnapped. At this moment, Xia Jiuye may not know where to hide... The so-called open gun is easy to dodge. Hidden arrows are hard to defend against. ”
Concubine Han snorted coldly, she was really unconvinced, she was not happy to marry at the beginning. The seventh lady of the Lang family is not as beautiful as her. Piano, chess, calligraphy and painting are not enough. But because his father was a generalissimo of soldiers and horses, he was a concubine. Fortunately, her son Zhou Yun is angry. When she thought of Shizi's stupidity, she couldn't help laughing: "It looks like a big white steamed bun that has just come out of the pot, and when it moves, it looks like a piece of fat that can walk, and her whole body trembles." The third child is good-looking. But what's the use of not being the elder?"
It wasn't until noon that Fuyuan came back with the news: "I really didn't expect it! I really didn't expect it! It turned out to be a kidnapping ticket! Someone actually dared to kidnap Xia Jiuye." Oe said that the eighth master received a letter early this morning, which was stuffed through the crack in the side door. I asked for a silver ticket of 5,000 taels. It is said that it will be the City God Temple in the north of the city three days later, and the money will be paid with one hand. Hand-in-hand. The eighth master is now going around to raise money, and he said to those friends who helped that Xia Jiuye was kidnapped. ”
The eyes of the three people in the Shizi's Mansion were all shining, and Mr. Huang took the case and said, "Immediately send someone to the City God Temple in the north to cast a net, and also prevent them from attacking the west." Send more manpower and quickly check whether there are any eye-catching people in the city recently? Wherever there is no owner on the outskirts of the city, they have searched carefully. Master, if we can save Xia Jiuye this time, the Xia family owes us a big favor!"
As he was talking, the little guy outside said: "Vice General Xue and Xia Yanzhao have something important to see." ”
Shizi hurriedly invited him in: "There must be news of his sister." ”
The little guy opened the curtain, and Vice General Xue and Xia Baye came in front and back. At a glance, the prince knew that Xiaoyu was really gone, and Xia Yanzhao, who was originally gentle and graceful, was black and thin at this time. A pair of romantic Danfeng eyes are now red like a pair of rabbit eyes because of staying up late.
Yan Zhao followed behind Xue Yu and saluted, and then said: "Thank you for your concern, and you have sent Fuyuan to the mansion many times to inquire." Now the truth has come, and they are finally seeking money, and I am raising money here. It's just that I'm not very relieved in my heart, we are a small family, and this restaurant has just opened, and people with a discerning eye will know where we can get so much money? ”
The prince was stunned, knowing that if it wasn't for Xiaoyu's enemy, then there was a chance that he would be running for him. Although "Three Visits to the Thatched House" was only said for one day, it made him famous. His father's excerpt arrived almost non-stop, and he followed Mr. Huang's instructions, rushed ahead of his father's excerpt, and sent his excerpt of controlling public opinion out sooner or later.
Xia Yanzhao found that Xiaoyu was gone, and he couldn't help but be a little overwhelmed at first, but Rushan reminded him: "If the little aunt is here, I don't know what will happen to her?"
Yan Zhao pondered for a long time, and the girl must first find a backer and pull a few tiger skins to make a big flag. Xia Yanzhao looked at Mr. Huang and said, "Although the appointment is about the Chenghuang Temple in the north of the city, I can't trust them. There are a lot of talented people here, I don't know if you have any ideas?"
Mr. Huang sighed and said, "Don't hide it from the eighth master, we have never had any money here, and now we are relying on the dowry of the princess." As soon as the prince heard this, he sent someone to get the money from the deceased concubine, but he couldn't get much. ”
Yan Zhao thought for a while and said sincerely: "Our family is indeed an ordinary Zhuang family, and there is nothing to get our hands on. There is only Xiaoyu this restaurant, which is worth some money. If the prince helped save Jiu'er, this restaurant would be our Xie Yi. ”
Zhou Zhen couldn't help but be overjoyed when he heard this, thinking about An Ge in his heart, he endured it and still couldn't hold back, and asked, "An Ge is also with him?"
Xue Yu couldn't help but raise his eyes and look at Zhou Zhen in astonishment, thinking: "Earlier, I thought he liked the Xia family's sister, but I couldn't have lost my eyes." If it is a partner on the political zhì, such a bargain is not wrong. It's just..."Thinking about Xiaoyu's expression when he looked at Zhou Zhen, he couldn't help but feel sorry for Xiaoyu.
Xia Baye on the side shook his head and said, "You have to find another storyteller yourself, An Ge's daughter-in-law is my sister-in-law's tent, and she is also a personal girl." An Ge can be given, but the girl can't. ”
Zhou Zhen thought for a while and said, "Isn't this a haven't been through the door?"
The eighth master couldn't help but groan, and said hesitantly: "As the saying goes, a gentleman promises, Jiu'er promised them at the beginning. Don't give them random allotments. But. I could have asked, if they were happy to separate, then it would be nothing. ”
Shizi looked at Mr. Huang's frowning and unhappy. After thinking about his previous words, he said, "Since the eighth master is so sincere, I don't think it's as good as this." This restaurant was originally the brainchild of Miss Xia, and it was given to us. To be honest, we don't do well either. As... It's up to you. Give us two dry shares. ”
Xia Baye was overjoyed, and secretly thought: "Although my sister doesn't necessarily take this restaurant to heart, as an elder brother, I finally left my sister's property." I will see her in the future and explain it. ”
No, Shizi continued: "I heard that Miss Xia also wants to open a restaurant elsewhere. Can you..."
Xia Baye showed a painful expression, but he still nodded and said, "This is natural." But his heart secretly rejoiced. Such a relationship is better than slowly repaying their favor in the future.
Xue Yu saw that they were talking about it, so he said: "Xia Guan has a reluctant request, in the early years, Miss Xia saved Xia Guan's life, and Xia Guan has never been able to repay him. Now it happens that Miss Xia is in trouble, and the lower officials just have nothing to do, so they want to take a month's leave to run for Miss Xia. ”
Zhou Zhen and Shizi looked at him in surprise, and Shizi secretly thought: "A few days ago, the junior brother said that Vice General Xue prepared a dowry for Miss Xia every year, but I still don't believe it. Unexpectedly, Vice General Xue is such a ruthless person, but he also knows about Entu. He has always obeyed only the orders of his father, and has neither been near me nor approached his second brother. He has nothing to do at the moment, so it is better to sell his favor to the Xia family and show favor to him. Then he nodded and said: "This is very good, you bring a few more capable men, and the Chenghuang Temple in the north of the city will ambush people now." Other vacant houses must also be searched one by one, even if no one can be found, at least they dare not attack Miss Xia lightly. ”
Xia Baye listened to it, and he was really grateful. knelt down and thanked: "The great grace of the prince, the small one is unforgettable." ”
Xia Baye said goodbye to the prince and the others, and then rode back to the Xia Mansion and found Xu Liangqi to discuss: "Now that I have the help of the prince's people, I can thoroughly search the city and the outside of the city, and I can also calm my heart. ”
Xu Liangqi thought secretly: "It is said that the status of the prince is in jeopardy, but I see that he has rules and regulations." This time not only won over the Xia family and Vice General Xue, but also dealt a blow to dissidents in the city. ”
Just thinking about it, Da Jiang reported outside: "Eighth Master, there is a fat old gentleman outside, who handed over a greeting note and said that he wanted to see Xia Jiuye." ”
Xia Yanzhao is the most unpleasant to hear about Miss Xia, Xia Jiuye's words, his heart trembled when he heard this, and he hurriedly shouted: "Quickly bring the post in." When I opened it, it was Mr. Shi, who was afraid that he didn't know, and he also sandwiched a letter of worship with Luo characters inside. Xia Yanzhao was taken aback, and hurriedly closed the post, so as not to be seen by Xu Liangqi. For a while, he was happy and sad: "Jiu'er runs this restaurant, but it is just to coax Mr. Shi to use it for the fifth brother." Unexpectedly, Mr. Shi came, but Jiu'er was gone. ”
Thinking about it, he stood up: "Brother Xu is not accompanied, I have an important guest here." When I saw him, I went to the house to discuss. ”
In the prince's mansion, the two brothers discussed again: "Third brother, you are still too anxious. Alas, if Xia Yanzhao learns this to his sister today, I'm afraid you won't have any good fruit to eat. ”
Zhou Zhen was puzzled: "Miss Xia is not such an ordinary woman. ”
Shizi shook his head and smiled bitterly: "If this restaurant is Xia Baye's, not only will he not hold a grudge against us, but he will still be our right-hand man in the future." That Xia girl is different again, Mr. Huang, do you say yes? ”
Mr. Huang sighed: "The third master is still young and has never suffered from a woman. (To be continued) R655
