356 Pearls
Feng Chuan has known Ruxia for a while.
It was the first time I had seen her so depressed, so uneasy.
"Do you have something on your mind, who, who made you so disappointed?"
Ruxia shook her head, for Qiu Jinyu, she was just a wild girl, he just looked at himself pitiful, and the two were just bickering, how could there be other feelings in it.
Feng Chuan spoke, "What did Qiu Jinyu say about you?" β
"How do you know it's him?" Ruxia's expression betrayed everything.
Then sighed, yes, Feng Chuan is so smart, what can he hide from her.
"He just said that he just took pity on me, and in his eyes, I was just a wild girl, rude, not gentle, and not ladylike."
Where is this contempt for the poor?
This is clearly against one's own heart.
"Against your heart?"
"yes!"
Feng Chuan nodded, and then clamped Ruxia's hand with his two hands.
If a person is really disgusted with another person, he will not say so many shortcomings, only one shortcoming.
For example, barbarism, he will tell many things based on barbarism to prove the barbarism of the other party, and even add up the evil words, and he will not say so many shortcomings in a high-sounding manner.
"The reason why he said that you are not good here, that you are not good there, is probably because he is afraid that you will find out his love for you."
Love?
Ruxia's face suddenly turned red, although this Qiu Jinyu looks unreliable, he is very happy with him, whether it is bickering or quarrelling.
Maybe I also have an unchangeable love for him!
Thinking of this, Ruxia lowered her head.
I don't deserve him. His family wouldn't like people like him either.
These people must be right, where will they look up to themselves.
She was inexplicably upset.
Never mind. Let's forget about it!
Ruxia asked Feng Chuan how he was preparing, last time because her father delayed the family affairs, but it made Qiao Yuan anxious.
"Let me tell you, after my brother was beaten last time, he couldn't relax for a few days, I thought he was beaten stupid, who knew he was sitting there. said lightly, I miss you. β
Having said that she smiled mysteriously, Feng Chuan looked at Ruxia. It's also something to say.
"Ruxia, is your aunt easy to get along with?"
Ruxia was stunned for a moment, why did Feng Chuan suddenly ask like this.
After laughing, she said that of course it was easy to get along with. My aunt is compassionate.
She put her hand on Feng Chuan's shoulder. I quite know if I was a little scared before entering the door.
"Don't worry, my aunt is not a bad mother-in-law."
Although Ruxia said this, Fengchuan felt that she didn't like herself, but she couldn't tell Ruxia everything, so she had to endure the words, put down the food, and said with a smile. If you really like Qiu Jinyu, then contact more. He looked at Huaxin, but he probably didn't confess to the girl, otherwise how could he panic and always say the wrong thing!
Feng Chuan's words made Ruxia feel a little relieved, she was sure that she had fallen in love with this playboy in those "battles", and she had long understood that the eyes that stood by the door every day and stared at were looking for his appearance.
The next day, this Qiu Jinyu did not appear.
From time to time, I go to the door to take a look.
The streets and alleys were crowded, but there was no handsome young man wearing silk and satin who wanted to hang the jade pendant.
Where did he go, or really didn't want to see himself again.
"Shopkeeper, the guests at that table pay the bill!"
The guy saw Ruxia's uneasiness, the tea house was quiet, and the guests were chanting poems, but they couldn't attract Ruxia, he always looked at the door blankly.
For two days, Qiu Jinyu did not appear again.
On the third day, he sent a message, saying that things were almost done, and the wine in several of the restaurants was fine, and only one of the Jiang family distilleries that he confessed to had insects in the wine, but it was annoying.
The various restaurants were busy spreading to each other.
Jiang Yuanzheng is not kind in business.
It is shoddy, sold at a high price with some shabby, and does not pay attention to hygiene.
These news quickly reached Jiang Yuanzheng's ears.
He was still looking forward to getting a lot of silver.
But now there are such words.
He sent his guys to investigate, only to find out that Qiu Jinyu had raised the price several times.
He grinned and scolded, this bastard had raised the price so high, it seemed that he had lost a lot of money, but how could there be worms in the winemaker?
Each jar of wine was poured by himself, and these minions would carefully inspect it.
"Let me ask you, are you unwilling to work more, so you will do your hands and feet in wine?"
The two minions looked at him and denied it.
They all said they had never moved.
"Okay, so how do you prove it?"
The two have been together, and they will leave together after they are done, who will come back and do it, and if they do it, the two will still be punished in the end, who will do it?
Jiang Yuanzheng looked at the two of them with anger in his heart.
Who would that be?
What is this person's deep hatred for himself?
I happened to see Mingzhu playing with the minions on the side.
What she was holding in her hand and threw it on a maid's clothes, and the frightened maid screamed, and she held her head high and laughed at the maid's coward.
"Miss, the slave is most afraid of insects, don't scare the slave."
Bugger?
Jiang Yuanzheng suddenly couldn't sit still, got up and walked to Mingzhu, squatted down to look at her.
"Let me ask you, did you lose the bug?"
Mingzhu was still naΓ―ve in the end, and even nodded.
She was a little panicked and nodded yes.
Jiang Yuanzheng was furious, stepped forward and slapped her a few times, scolding while beating, this family is full of delicious food and drink, how can it be sabotage, why do you want to do such a thing.
Mingzhu cried loudly, and kept calling for her mother.
"You are still calling, you know that you are messing around, our family's business is over, you still eat, what are you eating? We won't have to eat anymore. β
Jiang Yuanzheng slapped Mingzhu hard.
Mingzhu went back to the house and cried.
It turns out that this Ruxia is right, her father will be angry with herself when she leaves.
She gritted her teeth. I hate that my father beat me, and my mother didn't come back, and I was the only one left at home. She secretly took some jewelry, grabbed a few silver tickets and left the house.
She didn't know where she was going, but she was right with the money.
She went out with her things, but after walking for a while, she found that she didn't know how to walk.
I had to follow a path to the end.
I finally got to the market, where there were a lot of delicious food, as well as dolls and candy men.
She's happy. Pointing to one thing after another, asking for this, asking for that.
As a result, I took out the ticket. Makes people laugh.
"Little girl, you go home, these paintings are worthless."
This......
"It's a silver ticket!" She is convinced.
The man sighed and gave him a sugar gourd.
"Let's go back. I've got you! β
She was holding things. Looking at the ticket in his hand, how could this thing not be used, last time I saw my mother secretly take them to my grandfather.
She was eating a sugar gourd, and saw someone fighting cocks on the side, so she went over to join in the fun.
A man next to her looked at her and smiled, "Little girl, why are you alone?" β
She looked at it and ignored it, and the man took another piece of flower cake from his sleeve. "What do you think this is?"
Mingzhu seemed to be a little relieved when she saw what she was eating.
Since she is so sincere, then take it herself.
She was holding things. didn't even say thank you, and began to watch the excitement again.
The man said that his home is nearby, and there are sugar people and dolls and rag dolls at home.
Mingzhu secretly looked at the man with her eyes and agreed without hesitation.
After following the man for a while, she kept asking how much she had to play and eat.
"You follow me, don't worry, as much as you want!"
In this way, Mingzhu followed a long way.
Finally saw a big house.
The man walked in with her, counting things with a richly dressed woman, who looked at the pearl.
I can't stop shaking my head, I don't stop shaking, this is a thing, this age is too young.
"You can keep it for now, and then let it pick up the guests in two days!"
The woman said yes, she looks okay, but she has to eat white rice for the past two years, so she can't give too much silver.
"Look at you, what a slippery woman, just this little calculation, okay, whatever you want!"
As he said, the man took the money and turned to leave.
Mingzhu followed and was about to leave, but was stopped by several people.
"Get out of the way, I'm going out!"
A few men smiled, and they still want to get out after entering this door?
Without saying a word, they unloaded the small burden on Mingzhu's body, looked at it, took out some jewelry that Mingzhu considered "precious", and threw it to the gorgeously dressed woman.
"You are not allowed to touch my things."
When the women saw that they were young, they said that they would come and train herself, and the men withdrew.
"You girl is really beautiful, let Sister Hua tell you, after entering here, you will be a beautiful girl like a flower in the future, you must have a great future when the time comes, superior, at first glance, you are the person who is angry at home, Daddy doesn't love you, you live with me, I will definitely not beat you, I will not scold you, I will really be good to you."
Yes, my father beat people, and my mother didn't come back, Mingzhu had to stay, or where should I go tonight, if I live here for a few days, my father will look for myself, maybe my mother will come back.
On the other hand, the Jiang family found that the child was gone, and Jiang Yuanzheng was in a hurry. It's useless to scold the slave again and again, and he can't even look at a child.
I went out to look for it, but I didn't see anyone for a long time.
"What's going on lately, what's going on with so many things?"
He was sitting there angry, and Qiu Jinyu came to the door.
"Master Jiang, how did you do it, I can trust you to transport wine from you, but I didn't expect you to put something disgusting like worms in the wine."
Jiang Yuanzheng happened to see Qiu Jinyu, groveling and saying that everything he would pay attention to in the future was made by the child, and he said a few words to the child, but she ran away, for the sake of the child's loss, let herself go!
"Lost the child?"
He nodded again and again, but isn't it, the little daughter is gone, and he sent someone to look for it a few times but he couldn't find it!
Qiu Jinyu was moved by compassion, but when he thought about how he treated Ruxia last time, he said ruthlessly, "Since your daughter is lost, then you should report to the official quickly and send someone to find it, I came to tell you that not only did I not receive the silver, but also lost a lot of silver because of your wine, I can't give you your silver, and you have to accompany me with an additional five hundred taels of silver."
As soon as these words came out, Jiang Yuanzheng sat on the ground.
All the money he has is used to make wine, where is the silver?
Qiu Jinyu just said something, said it and left, leaving Jiang Yuanzheng to sit there and sigh.
Ruxia sat in the tea house in despair.
I didn't see Qiu Jinyu for a few days, and she didn't quarrel with anyone.
Life has become boring.
"Like Summer!"
Qiu Jinyu called, Ruxia looked at it, and hurriedly got up.
"You...... What are you doing here? β
The two seemed to have not seen each other for a long time, and Ruxia was a little unnatural, unable to speak for a long time.
Qiu Jinyu said that it was nothing, the matter was already half successful, and the next thing was to prepare for the start of the winery, and then he would tell those people that those good wines were made by Ruxia, but he must not say his surname, otherwise he would be associated with the Jiang family.
After saying that, he mentioned that the sister was gone.
"What sister?"
"Your sister, the youngest daughter that Jiang Yuanzheng said just now was lost, it seems that he slapped him a few times and ran away by himself."
Ruxia wondered, on weekdays, her father held the pearl in the palm of his hand and regarded it as a pearl in his palm, how could he beat her today?
No matter what she said, Ruxia couldn't believe it.
"Either it's funny, we moved our hands and feet in the wine and put some bugs, but it's not just why the little girl told her father that the bugs were put by herself, Jiang Yuanzheng naturally beat her."
Although Ruxia said that she hated Mingzhu for treating herself like that, in the end, she was just a child, and if she ran out alone, where would she go?
Thinking of this, she was a little worried, Qiu Jinyu said, if you are not at ease, go and find it, after all, the little girl is still young, and it is dangerous to meet bad people.
Ruxia said too, Qiu Jinyu accompanied her out of the door.
The two of them searched all over the street, and when they saw the little girl, they stepped forward to take a closer look, but there was no shadow of the pearl.
Qiu Jinyu thinks that it is not a way to look for it all over the street, so it is better to report to the official, or find Fengchuan.
Yes, Feng Chuan will investigate the case, and she will definitely be able to help find Mingzhu.
"What, your sister is lost?" Feng Chuan was in a hurry to get up, this could not be delayed, some people would sell their children.
The group of them went to Jiang's house, Jiang Yuanzheng was worried, and Feng Chuan and Ruxia came into the house.
"What are you doing here, look at my jokes, aren't you?"
Feng Chuan didn't have time to confront him, but just asked when the child disappeared, and if there was anything missing in the house?
Jiang Yuanzheng was too lazy to speak, looking at Qiu Jinyu who was not far away and turned his head angrily, he had lost so much silver, and there was no hope of living.
"Do you want to find your daughter?" Feng Chuan's inquiry made him look up.
"You ask the maid, they all know, you can go to Mingzhu's room and have a look!"
The two ignored him and went to Mingzhu's room.
The house was not very neat, and the maid said that it was not like this before.
At noon, I found that the young lady was gone, and the house became like this.
Feng Chuan understood that it seemed that she ran away from home and left with her things, but it didn't seem that she had anything worthwhile, after all, there were nothing too valuable in this house, she was just a little girl.
