15. Chapter 15
Wei Yang raised his eyebrows, "Who is the owner looking for?" ”
Xie Liangying said: "Sir, do you know that something happened to the Liu family a few days ago. ”
"The Liu family?" Wei Yang frowned slightly, "The Liu family that the owner said is the Liu family after the father?" ”
"Exactly." Xie Liangying smiled, "Mr. really knows my heart, and he guesses it." ”
Wei Yang thought about what the Liu family had encountered recently in his mind, but there was no major event, only the legend that the mother of the Liu family was seriously ill and was sent to Zhuangzi, and her daughter, Miss Liu Er, was filial piety and was willing to serve with her in person. "The owner is looking for Liu Zeng and Miss Liu Er?"
"That's right. They are not in Liujia Zhuangzi, but I may not be able to eat if they are still in the capital, and they may be sent outside Beijing. Xie Liangying took a deep breath and slowly exhaled it, "If yes...... I really can't find it, so that's it. ”
Now she doesn't have enough money in her hands to waste it on finding someone. If Zeng's mother and daughter can be found, it will take a lot of effort, I am afraid they will have to postpone their consideration.
Wei Yang didn't understand what Xie Liangying was doing this for, as far as he knew, the Xie Liu family was in-laws, why didn't she find someone to get through to the Xie family? However, he also knew that even if he asked, Xie Liangying would not necessarily tell him, so he pressed it for the time being.
"I see, if there is any news, I will tell the owner."
Xie Liangying was worried, and chatted with Wei Yang about how to make a name for herself in the capital after the fat powder shop. In the end, at the urging of Qing Xia, he left to return home.
Wei Yang said goodbye to Xie Liangying and went to find the shopkeeper Zhou. Xie Liangying's previous instructions for him had already arranged the room specially arranged for him, and it was inconvenient for him to go home tonight to inquire about the news, so he decided to stay in the shop for the time being. It's just that this matter should be informed to the shopkeeper of Shengzhou.
Shopkeeper Zhou responded, the house was originally arranged for Wei Yang, and now he can use it, and it is not in vain. After closing the shop, Shopkeeper Zhou told Wei Yang to close the door and be careful of the candles, and then went home with peace of mind.
Wei Yang watched the shopkeeper Zhou leave, turned around and closed the back door of the shop, and then turned to the front to take a look, and only left after making sure that he was okay. As soon as he turned around, he went to the West Outer City, and asked for a bowl of bean curd and a few small cakes at the old man Wang's tofu stall, who was about to close the stall. Eat and drink to your heart's content, rub your stomach and go back.
At night, the road is full of people rushing home. It's almost time for curfew.
Wei Yang's feet froze, and he turned into the alley on his right. He stopped in the fourth house of Hutong. This house doesn't look like anything special from other people, with a red lantern hanging under the eaves, a mottled wooden door with door gods on the left and right, and a rusty copper ring on the door. He buckled the knocker and waited at the door for a while, when an elderly man answered the door.
"Who?"
Wei Yang said: "I'm looking for Xue Gongzi." ”
The old man came and opened the door, carrying a lantern in his hand. He looked Fan Weiyang up and down, and he had never seen this before. "My son-in-law is not at home recently, dare to ask...... What is the matter with Childe? ”
Wei Yang was a little stunned, but he didn't expect that the person he was looking for was not there. But luckily, he was prepared just in case. He took out a letter from his bosom and handed it to the old man, "Since Xue Gongzi is not here, I won't come in." I also asked the old man to give him this letter for me. ”
"Oh......" The old man raised the lantern and looked at the envelope clearly, and his eyes widened when he saw the seal in the lower left corner of the envelope. He jerked his head up and looked at Wei Yang again.
Although Wei Yang didn't show anything when he was standing, the soles of his shoes were thick and thin, and it was obvious that there were some problems with his legs and feet. Before going out, his son-in-law mentioned that if a young man surnamed Wei with inconvenient legs and feet came to the house, he must be cautious.
The old man pulled Wei Yang into the house, looked left and right at the alley, and closed the door when he saw that there was no one, "Dare to ask Gongzi if his surname is Wei?" ”
"My surname is Wei, dare to ask the old man......" Wei Yang didn't finish speaking, and was pulled into the back room by the old man.
The old man put the lantern in his hand at the door of the main room and welcomed Wei Yang, who didn't know why, in. lowered his voice and said to him: "Gongzi went to southern Xinjiang a few days ago, and he wrote half a month ago that he would return to Beijing in the next few days. What is the big deal with Wei Gongzi looking for him? ”
Wei Yang waved his hand again and again, "It's not a big deal, but I just want Xue Gongzi to help find two people." After that, I told the story of finding Zeng's mother and daughter.
After listening to his words, the old man couldn't help but smile, "This is a trivial matter, you don't have to look for it, I can also be reckless and find someone for Wei Gongzi." ”
Wei Yang couldn't help but be overjoyed, and said again and again, "Thank you, old man." ”
The old man sent Wei Yang out of the door and said, "Master Wei, relax, there will be an answer in ten days." ”
Wei Yang said goodbye to him and walked out of Xifu Hutong. He stopped at the mouth of the alley and couldn't help but turn his head back to look. The short alley leads straight to the end, and you can see the end at a glance. He secretly said in his heart that his brother-in-law really has a dragon and a crouching tiger around him, and there are many capable people.
Yes, Wei Yang is Jiang Yi. The surname Wei is the maiden name of his deceased mother. Afraid that he would be recognized by the enemy after returning to the capital, he specially changed his name.
Wei Yang was delayed at Xue's house for a while, and came out just in time for curfew. When the patrolling team saw that his legs were inconvenient, they picked him up on his horse and insisted on giving him a ride. On the way, he encountered something that made Wei Yang suspicious, and decided to come out to inquire after dawn tomorrow.
But he said that the days were about to pass, and it was finally time for Liu Chengfang's Begonia Building Chrysanthemum Banquet.
Xie Liangyun, who was full of interest, picked up early in the morning, dressed up his good life, and then went to the courtyard of the Xie family's grandmother at the urging of the Yan family. The girls who are going out of the house are all at their grandmother's place, and they want to say goodbye to their elders. However, she looked around, but she didn't see Xie Liangying.
"Where's my sister?" Xie Liangyun said, "Why didn't you see her?" ”
Xie Liangting gloated a little, and said coolly: "The fifth sister contracted the wind cold last night and tossed for a night." I can't get up from bed today, and the chrysanthemum banquet is naturally unbearable. ”
Xie Liangwan's chubby little face was almost wrinkled so that she couldn't see her original appearance clearly, "The fifth sister is too, such a good thing, she is sick." ”
Xie Liangting took her sister's hand and took her outside together, "What can I do if people are not blessed." Let's play ours, just come back and tell her. ”
Xie Liangqing frowned slightly, a little dissatisfied with Xie Liangting's words, but did not refute it. She took Xie Liangyun's hand and said softly: "Wind and cold can dye people, let's not go these days, when she is well, you can go out to play together." ”
At this time, Xie Liangying, who was half-leaning on the bed, took the water cup handed over by Qingqiu and took a sip to moisten her chapped lips.
Even Mama was anxious to watch from the sidelines. What a great opportunity to go to Begonia Tower today, where not only girls from all families flock to it, but also a place where noble sons love to go. When the time comes, you will meet one or two lovers, and you will be able to have a good marriage in the future. But my own girl was so sick that I wanted to persuade her to drag the sick body, but I couldn't say it.
Qingxia still looks like she is not surprised or pleased, she knows the inside story. Last night, Xie Liangying poured himself two large pots of ice water, and blew the night breeze for half a night, and it started before dawn. If you want to go to a banquet, you won't toss yourself like this.
"Is the girl feeling better?" Qingqiu asked with concern.
Xie Liangying nodded and asked her, "My sister and sister are all out, right?" ”
Qingqiu said: "Just left." The fourth girl also said that the girl couldn't go, which was a pity. ”
Xie Liangying smiled lightly, she didn't feel any pity. In her previous life, Xue Jian had chartered the entire Begonia Building in order to hold her birthday, and there was nothing there that she hadn't played or visited. This revisit to the old place is inevitably sad. Let alone...... Xue Jian, without herself, will definitely meet a good woman next to her.
Xie Liangying has thought it through thoroughly, she is now bent on revenge, and she is making the Xie family collapse step by step. But until the last step, no one knows if it can be done. If the Xie family really turned the tables in the end, then he would lose all the games and Xue Jian would have to be involved again.
The scenes of getting along with Xue Jian in his previous life appeared in front of him, and Xie Liangying could think of it.
Qingxia saw that Xie Liangying was thinking about things again, so she pulled Qingqiu and Lian Mama to retreat quietly, so that Xie Liangying could be quiet for a while.
After a few days of resting, Xie Liangying was really in good health. She has a good foundation, and she is not a sick seedling. For a minor illness like wind and cold, it is good to take care of it.
When the grandmother of the Xie family saw that she was in good health, she said, "You can go to Liufu with the six girls." You couldn't go to Haitang Tower before, Ah Fang felt regretful. Today she posted a post and specially invited you to Liufu, you are cousins, so you should go and see it. ”
Xie Liangying naturally responded. Although he had made up his mind not to have any more intersections with Xue Jian, he was still ready to move, thinking that he could know some news about him. Chai Jin has always had a good relationship with Xue Jian, and Liu Chengfang, who is favored by Chai Jin, may be able to reveal something to himself.
Although going to see Liu Chengfang made Xie Liangying feel disgusted, her concern for Xue Jian overrode this hatred.
After lunch at noon, Xie Liangying and Xie Liangyun got into the carriage to Liu's house.
Xie Liangyun sat facing Xie Liangying, looked at her sister who closed her eyes and recuperated, and finally couldn't hold it back, and asked the question she had been wondering about recently, "Sister, do you hate me and my mother anymore?" ”
Xie Liangying opened his eyes, there was no wave in his eyes, and he couldn't see love. "Why do you think so, you and I are siblings, and I have no deep hatred, I hate what you do."
"But you haven't been to see me in a long time." Xie Liangyun complained.
Although Xie Liangyun and Xie Liangying are twins, they have always been raised by the Yan family to be very delicate, their minds are simple, and their anger comes and goes quickly, and they are not a person who holds grudges. Xie Liangying has never been able to figure out why she had a good relationship with her sister, but in the end she teamed up with Liu Chengfang to poison herself.
It is said that twins have the same heart, but Xie Liangying has never felt that she and her sister are attracted to each other. When she was a child, Xie Liangying also asked Yan, but Yan said at that time that not every pair of twins would be like this.
And Xie Liangying also believed Yan's words.
Xie Liangyun didn't look at the expression on her sister's face, and continued: "I have had disputes with my sister before, but then my sister will come to play with me. But now, since the last time my sister was ......" Xie Liangyun secretly glanced at Xie Liangying, and said cautiously, "After my sister was stunned last time, she has been much colder to me. ”
Xie Liangyun felt that she was extremely aggrieved, she didn't do anything wrong, but why did the relationship between the two sisters fade like this?
Xie Liangying didn't know how to explain to her, looking at the innocent and puzzled sister in front of her, her heart softened, and her hand reached out to touch her.
"Fifth girl, sixth girl, Liufu has arrived." Ruma's voice sounded outside the carriage.
As if like a switch, Xie Liangying's softness was taken back, like her outstretched hand.
