Chapter 55
It snowed again in Nanjing that night, and out of Zaohui's house was a narrow Shikumen, and the roads on both sides were lit. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 infoOn a winter night at eight o'clock, when there were few pedestrians, Abu drove his car carefully around the alley, and the snowflakes blew in through the open window, and fell coldly on my ginger woolen coat, and disappeared without a trace in an instant.
I forgot that this was the first snow of the winter, only that the wind was blowing and the snow was coming. The alley was quiet, and the two original laurel trees at the entrance of the street had been cut off and stopped there barely, waiting for the snow to cover.
There are very few trees in Nanjing that are in such a state, this alley is an old-fashioned Ming and Qing Dynasty street, and the deep courtyard of the old house with white walls and gray tiles extends outward from the inner street, and slowly turns into a narrow and backward shikumen. The new-style bungalows are mostly in the suburbs, and there are private manors built on the hills like Gu Mansion.
The fact that a large family like the Guan family is crowded here really confirms what Sae said in prison.
"Miss Liu, don't worry, Miss Guan's family will not embarrass her. It's easy to get out of here and go down the street, and Abu will make sure to send you home by nine o'clock. Young Master He has already called the master of your mansion, so Miss can not worry. ”
I didn't want to speak, I had said enough in such a long day, but in the face of Abu Yinyin's kindness, I couldn't bear to brush his kindness.
"Thank you today, Abu, if you hadn't told my family to move in to help the soldiers, Saoe and I would probably have spent the night in prison."
"Miss is polite." Abu said, "I'm just running errands for the young master, and it's actually our young master who really saves you." ”
Senior brother? But where is he at this time?
The slightest grievance in my heart suddenly collapsed after hearing Abu's words, like a flood bursting its banks, screaming and rushing towards my senses and emotions, forcing me to ask the question that I had just held in my heart: "What about your young master, why didn't he come tonight?"
Abuben was concentrating on driving, and when he heard me ask him this, he only lowered his head and did not speak. After a moment, he was heard muttering quietly:
"Young master, he ......"
"What's wrong with him?" I asked.
"He went to Shanghai for something, so Abu ...... Abu didn't tell him about the young lady being arrested and taken to the police station, but asked Young Master He for help...... So......" He looked at me and said the last sentence: "So please forgive Abu for not telling me!"
I went to Shanghai for something, and it was Shanghai again.
We know that every time something big happens this year, he goes to Shanghai, Shanghai, Shanghai! I didn't understand what was holding him back from going to Shanghai, my heart was rolling around, my eyes suddenly turned red, I held each other's hands, rested on my heart, and asked softly, "Can you tell me when he left?" ”
"This ......" Abu looked embarrassed, "Don't hide it, Miss, Abu only knows that the young master decided to go temporarily because of the unfinished task last time, and he doesn't know the specific news." ”
"I see, in that case, I won't ask more, please send me home as soon as possible."
Abu was silent for a long time, and finally said nothing more. The car is speeding on Pingjiang Road, and the houses on both sides become reflections, and the chaos also makes this darkness a thing of the past.
My mother originally let me and Gu Shaoqing go out together because of my pleading, but I didn't expect that we were still fine when we left, but such an accident happened at night. So when she and her father were waiting in the main hall, their faces were a little unpleasant.
By the time Mu Bo welcomed me back to the main hall, it was already more than nine o'clock, the floor clock in the hall was ringing faintly, in the room, the teacher and my father and mother who had not seen me for a few days were sitting together, and the faces of my sister and three aunts were not very good.
"Father, Mother, I'm back."
"Teacher, why are you here so late?"
My sister took the lead and looked me up and down for a long time before asking, "How is it, are you hurt?"
I chuckled, "No, I'm fine." ”
My mother sat there wiping her tears, just looking at me and not speaking. However, the third aunt took my hand lovingly, and looked at it carefully for a while before saying: "It's good to come back, it's good to come back, the eldest brother and sister-in-law are worried that it is bad, so they sent someone to invite Mr. Yaoshan, and they found someone to go to the police station to negotiate, but Minister He's son-in-law called and said that he was going to pick you up and go home, and we were waiting at home." Go over quickly, your mother is worried. ”
I saw that although my father and mother ignored me, their faces were much better than when they first entered the door, and I was thinking about how to explain it, but my mother stood up and complained, "You child, you child, why don't you know the truth of avoiding trouble?" Didn't you think about what to do if we couldn't save you? You are the second lady of our Liu Mansion, how can you ignore your reputation, do you want to scare me? Mom has reached this age, and there are so many things happening at home, you still have to bear this heart, you child, you child......"
My father had a stiff face, but only then did he ease up when he heard his mother say this: "It's good to be back, it's good to be back."
"Your father was still blaming himself just now and saying that he spoiled you too much, and he should have been alerted when something like that happened yesterday, why did he send it in by himself, you child is really ......"
I was afraid in my heart, and as soon as my family said that I couldn't hide my concern, my tears couldn't be stopped.
At this time, I came back safe and sound, and everyone was relieved, and the tense nerves were finally relaxed. I originally thought that the people who stayed in prison were heinous bad people, but I went in person and felt that my vision was narrow, maybe as Shike said, the sky in Nanjing is always much grayer. There are many things in this world that I can't see or think of, such as Min Ye's Green Gang, and Han Ma's identity as a blood droplet.
I listened to the complaints of my relatives one by one, and I only felt that I was really lucky, how could I have such a favor.
My sister held my body and said, "Sir, don't talk about her, my little sister has encountered this yesterday and today, and she must be frightened at this time, so let's quickly bring her some food to suppress the shock, and then take this set of clothes to burn." ”
My sister was talking, and Mu Bo next to me came forward to ask, saying, "Old lady, the second old man just called to ask if the second lady has come back from the police station?" He said that if Miss came back, he would have something to say about in Jiangningfang. ”
The second uncle is coming, who notified him? Or how did he know about it.
"How did Rensong know that Ah Zhao had entered the police station? Which of you told him? Father asked.
"How dare we leak the news about what the master ordered, probably the second master learned from elsewhere, and I don't know it."
"Elsewhere? Could it be that there are friends in the police station? I've always wanted to emphasize this at home, the rules of our family have been ignored since the old lady went, and now the family can't even protect the news, which is infuriating. It's just before, but in front of me again and again, how can I bear it. Go and tell him what's going on. ”
Mu Bo agreed, turned and left the lobby.
