Chapter 354: There is a marriage contract
When the account is settled, the young man will send off the guests.
The guard walked in front, and Tianfang, who was one step behind, suddenly shouted to stop him!
The next second, he took out two pieces of paper from his arms and handed them to the young man to see. "Have you ever seen these two people?" Tianfang asked
The two of them left the most lively restaurant in the town and merged into the flow of people on the street.
After walking forward for a while, the guard had no bottom in his heart, and stepped forward to ask Tianfang, "Lord, did you paint that painting?" β
The guards walked through the streets of the town, and their minds never turned.
He wondered if he could come and take a look at the painting.
He didn't know what Tianfang was planning, but just now he saw Tianfang talking to the young man in the store when he was leaving, and he took out the paper to show him.
The guards watched from afar.
There was no order from the Lord, and he did not dare to approach from a distance, but everywhere he looked, it seemed that what he showed the young man was the painting that he had painted in the store before.
Otherwise, when did they come out early in the morning, and when did they mention the paintings they brought with them?
The most likely thing is that it was drawn in a borrowed place from that store.
Hearing this, Tianfang smiled faintly, took out the paper in his arms and handed it over.
The guard carefully took it with both hands and unfolded it to look at the painting.
After looking at one of them, his eyes immediately turned to the other.
The guard's eyes suddenly widened and he stared at him for a moment, as if he was a little incredulous.
He turned his gaze to the heavens, and the whole person was still in shock!
He stammered and looked at the sky and said, "Lord, Lord." What do you mean by that? "If you think to yourself, you can't even think through this, so you don't have to follow me."
Tianfang had a smile on his face. But it was a cruel word. "Ahh The guards were taken aback by Tianfang's words.
His face flushed suddenly, and he stared down at the painting and racked his brains to remember.
What does it really mean to be Lord?
A flash of inspiration flashed through the guard's mind, and he suddenly remembered the scene that had happened outside the town.
What are the key points that you have overlooked?
He looked at it for a while, suddenly realized, and said happily: "I understand." "Lord, I thought of it!!"
The guard's expression was a little agitated. "Well, it's not too late."
A smile appeared on the corner of Tianfang's mouth. Slowed down his tone.
The guard's reaction was expected by him, so Tianfang smiled faintly: "Let's go, follow me to another place in town." β
The guards were settled. He let out a long breath and followed the footsteps of Tianfang towards the southeast of the town.
"Lord, where are you going to ask?"
The guard glanced curiously. "Hmm." "You're not worried about them being perfunctory?" "Then it's up to you."
The guard paused for a moment, then followed, not daring to ask more
The boy and I walked slowly along the alley by the river in the east of the city. After a while, a man made a detour to chase after him.
I heard footsteps behind me. Stand still and look back with the boy.
It was actually Ah Fu in the house, and he came again.
It's been less than a full day, and he's been here twice to find someone, which struck me a little strange.
Before, in the teahouse, I remember that the young man had explained things clearly, why did the steward appear in front of us in a state at this time.
I immediately thought, could it be that something had happened in the house?
Ah Fu ran to the young man and said with a wry smile: "Third young master, I have looked for you for a while, and I have also been to the teahouse." The people inside say you're gone. β
"I searched and searched and couldn't find it, so you came here!"
Big winter. Ah Fu was sweating on his forehead, which showed that he had run a lot just now.
The boy stared at him and asked the same question in my heart, "What's the matter?" β
Ah Fu glanced at me, took a few breaths, and stammered: "Third Young Master, the one from the house refuses to leave." β
"And then?" The boy's tone didn't seem too surprised, and it sounded like it was expected.
Ah Fu frowned and said, "She said that she plans to stay with us for two days before leaving." β
"Where did you place her?" The boy asked with a sigh.
Ah Fu hurriedly blinked his eyes and replied with a smile: "Of course, it is the farthest from where you live, and it is arranged in a small building in the northeast of the courtyard." β
The boy didn't answer immediately, pursed his lips as if in thought.
After a while, he thought for a moment before replying: "She can live if she wants, and she can't stop her." "It's not okay to rush, otherwise it will be difficult to explain to her family when we meet in a few days!"
When they met a few days later, Ah Fu was stunned.
Then I remembered that the meeting that my third young man said should not be the one, and that person had never been in his eyes.
It is the elders who want to see it.
But when I arrived in Suzhou City, I didn't go to see him until a few days later, so I could see what status the elders over there had in the third young master's heart.
Ah Fu breathed a sigh of relief and said, "The little one understands." β
"I must send someone to serve me."
"No, just do the courtesy, don't condone it." The boy corrected him.
"How to handle this measure, I have to ask the third young master."
Ah Fu suddenly frowned and said with a bitter face.
"I'm afraid that the anger will be on the people below."
Two people stood in a small alley talking.
Because the teenager didn't even think to avoid me the whole time, I finally heard a hint from their conversation.
My gossip heart began to sprout, and I glanced at the boy and Ah Fu with a smile, and I could guess a few points in my heart.
When Ah Fu walked away, the boy stared at his back for a few seconds, then looked back at me.
Seeing my expression clearly, he said depressedly: "Xiaoling, what is your expression?" β
I still need to ask secretly, look at the lively expressions.
"You're in Suzhou, do you have an old acquaintance?"
I smiled and hesitated to ask him.
After a short silence, the young man thought for a moment and nodded, "That's right. β
"Let me guess. Could it be that there is a marriage contract? β
I instinctively thought of this, and my eyes lit up!
can make the steward embarrassed, and he will decide to live generously. There is always a name, I know that there are a lot of things in this kind of mansion, and I have seen a lot of them before crossing.
I don't know why, I look at the young man so embarrassed, thinking of his age, the word "marriage contract" subconsciously popped up in my heart!
It's the same as when I ridiculed him on the road because he had a big scar on his face and wanted to go to Suzhou to find a doctor, and he was ready to marry a daughter-in-law after he was cured!
"Not yet. But the other party has revealed what you mean. β
The boy was silent for a moment, and then replied bluntly.
"But you look so upset, your one"
I can't think of what to call that person?
It's a girl after all, but the identity has not been confirmed. I don't want to call her his fiancΓ©e.
So I thought about it and said vaguely, "What's wrong with that friend of yours?" β
Otherwise, how could he think of deliberately avoiding it, and ordinary people came all the way to Suzhou. I wouldn't do that if I didn't make sense.
The boy probably didn't expect me to ask so directly. After a pause, he answered.
He replied in the same direct way: "There are so many bad things about her!"
I looked at the boy dumbfounded: "Are you exaggerating?!" "You've seen it all, don't you know?"
The young man suddenly looked at me and said in a light tone. "Me? Seen yours? "I looked at the boy in confusion, where is this?" Xiaoling, have you forgotten the carriage passing by on the stone bridge? "Ahh It dawned on me what was going on.
The flowery carriage passed by onlookers-by. "You didn't make it clear to me, by the way, the one who choked her in the teahouse. Don't you know each other? "Yes!" The boy replied sullenly. "It turns out that your days in Suzhou will be so lively." I suddenly had a little more expectation in my eyes, "I don't know, hurry up, let's go back and have a look." "Xiaoling, why do you look so happy?" The young man said with a gloomy face. "Don't get me wrong, I didn't covet who you were, I just wanted to see what it looked like."
My whole interest was raised, I didn't bother to talk to him, and walked forward for a while, not knowing the direction.
The alleys here are all about the same, and they all look like they just walked through.
I looked back at the boy in confusion and asked, "Hey, which direction are you going?" β
"I forgot which intersection Ah Fu was taking just now!"
Tianfang took the guards and walked slowly to the southeast of the town, but he was not so anxious at this time.
When he got to the place where the town hired the carts and horses, Tianfang looked around the people under the trees, and picked one of the older ones to show the guards.
The two paintings he drew were also handed over to the guards by the way.
Tianfang looked around, and chose a tea stall by a big tree in the distance, where a small group of people also gathered.
A few simple wooden tables, a stove for a fire, and a stool with a missing corner.
Tianfang walked over alone, and the matter of inquiring about the news was handed over to the guards to do this time.
He went to the bottom of the tree, chose a table and sat down to drink tea and wait.
Now that the guards have figured out the situation, these things can be done without his own hands.
Otherwise, the role of the guards will not be reflected at all.
These people under the hands of God have always regarded it as an honor to be able to share the worries of the Lord.
Although the person with the heaviest and most difficult task has a lot of pressure on his shoulders, it is also a sign of being taken seriously in everyone's eyes.
The guard walked up to the old coachman who had been instructed by Tianfang with the drawing paper, saluted and handed him the drawing in his hand.
The coachman stared at it, with the same expression on his face as the guard had when he first saw the painting. "These two people, aren't they twins?" The coachman asked the guard. "That's right, it's my little brother and little sister, who are used to being naughty at home," the guard looked embarrassed, pursed his lips and said, "I ran out of the door a few days ago and said that I was going to Suzhou." "I'm looking for them."
The guard looked at the coachman with a complicated expression. "Two days ago, I was a teenager with a foreign accent, a bit like the little brother you painted."
The coachman recalled, looking at the guard, "But the other man who was following him was very tall. β
The coachman frowned and said, "Since you said that they are twins, I think that person will definitely not be your little sister." "We are all peers drinking tea at the tea stall under the tree." The coachman paused, narrowed his eyes and glanced at the guard. "Very few people came to join us, and we left after drinking."
What the driver said was the truth.
The two people didn't notice it that day, and when they came, they also became the object of the coachmen's watching.
Until the car left, there were still people talking.
Of course, most of the discussion was directed at the young man who was blocking his true face. "Those two people stayed for a long time, so a lot of people here saw them."
The coachman's successive words finally soothed the guard's expression.
He happily asked, "Finally, there is some news, have they hired a car?" "I don't seem to have much money with me when I leave home, so I don't know if I will come to the town and ask my relatives and friends in the town to borrow it."
The guard casually made up a reason. "It's not our car that hires us, I know everyone here, even the newcomers."
The coachman looked into the distance, and after thinking about it, he said, "They drank tea at the tea stall, and then they went back to town to buy something, and then they hired a car." "It's a car from Suzhou." "I know each other here, and the driver in Suzhou doesn't know what it's called." "Are you sure that my little brother is in the carriage from Suzhou?" The coachman couldn't help but ask again. "If it's like the one in your portrait, it is."
The coachman still roughly said a few words about the events of that day, and said to the guard: "I left in a hurry, it seems that I heard that the coachman in Suzhou has taken over the business, and he has to rush back overnight." β
The guards will pass by and thank the driver.
When he walked to Tianfang, who was waiting next to the tea stall, the guard sat down and said in a low voice: "That's right, the lord guessed correctly." "Your little sister does seem to be disguised as a teenager," the guard relayed to Tianfang what he heard from the coachman, "but the man who came with him didn't know who it was!" β
"Anyway, I heard that he has the money to hire a car."
Tianfang listened carefully, was silent, took a sip of tea and then put it down. "Well, after drinking tea, go back to Suzhou."
Tianfang looked calm when he got up, thinking that he didn't have to wait too long.
This trip to the town has finally come to the right place!
Once the news is confirmed, the only thing to be searched is the area in Suzhou City.
Everything else can be skipped!
In the large kitchen of the Chengdong Mansion, Adei is chopping vegetables on the stove by the window.
The fresh ingredients newly sent in by the small house in the outer courtyard, Adele selected them for her own use.
Except for preparing meals within the scope of the mission, as long as you have leisure, there is not much restriction on trying to make new dishes and practicing your hands.
The big kitchen doesn't care about this bit of attrition, and the biggest reliance is naturally on the wealthy owner.
Adele was a knife maker, and after a while, she cut most of the prepared ingredients in half.
Hearing the chores in the courtyard chattering again, Adei glanced out the window.
The people in the house are all following the direction of the wind.
This time, the theme of the people at the bottom has changed! (To be continued......)
