Chapter Ninety-Nine: Consolation
Seeing that a guest had arrived, Yu didn't want to lose face in front of outsiders, so he hurriedly tore off the snow-green crepe handkerchief on the bracelet, wiped his eyes with his fingertips, and politely said to Tan Wu: "Did my mother-in-law also hear the news?" My child is afraid that he is too old this year, and he is going out to play, who knows that something happened to her, and I think "she is so strong, but in the end she has not been sad, and the words are not finished, and the tears fall again." The handkerchief wrapped around her fingertips covered her eyes, as if she was afraid that people would see her cry.
Tan Wu looked at her from a distance and wiped her tears, and his nose was sore, and he went downstairs while holding Chen Fangfei's arm, and sighed with red eyes: "Don't cry, don't cry, Mrs. in-law-that young lady of yours will be auspicious, she can be born in your family, it can be seen that she is not an ordinary person, God can't let her suffer, don't cry-"
She persuaded with scattered words, and it took a few words before she walked down the steps and walked in front of Zhongqing and them.
Zhong Qing, as the daughter-in-law, stood up straight at this moment, bowed to the second elder of the Tan family and asked, "What happened to Dad and Mom?" In fact, it is enough to have us here, you two old people are not very good, so I am afraid that you will be tired when you go upstairs and downstairs. β
Her two sentences of thoughtfulness are very considerate, but there is a slight hint of unfamiliar respect, probably casually changing the guest, and her saying this can also work. It's just that in Tan Wu's convenience, it is very useful, because Tan Rulin's wedding was held in Shanghai, and she and her husband were left to preside over the banquet in her hometown, so she didn't see Zhongqing for the first time, but it was rumored that she married this daughter-in-law very tightly. A hundred men are not as good as her. When she didn't come to Shanghai, she was still thinking about how this daughter-in-law from a famous family would treat her mother-in-law, who had made a fortune. And ten thousand ready, but Fan Zhongqing was a little disrespectful to her. She couldn't stay here and see her daughter-in-law's face. After the news came, the daughter-in-law took special care of her father-in-law and mother-in-law, shh So, although it was a few years later that he saw his daughter-in-law, Tan Wu was very satisfied with Zhongqing.
At this time, she didn't wait for her husband Old Man Tan to speak. She said first: "Tired but not tired, not when you can't walk like that." When we heard that we had lost a young lady, we were so sad that we couldn't sit still. Daughter-in-law, have you sent someone to look around? I wonder if you might get lost. β
She really wanted to take this opportunity to come up with an idea for the Li family, so she could do her best to be anxious, Zhong Qing naturally thanked her politely and said, "What Mom said is very true, but we have already sent someone to find it." There's no news yet, so I'll have to wait. β
Tan Wu nodded his head, as if his idea had been adopted, and he was full of relief under sympathy. - That look seems to have never been only when the Li family sympathizes with her. And I can finally sympathize with the Li family for once. But her heart is good after all, and seeing Yu's uncontrollable sadness, she left her husband's side. sat down and whispered to Yu, so that she didn't have to indulge in the grief of her daughter's disappearance all the time.
Li Bool is Ru Lin's eldest brother. When I saw the two elders of my in-laws, I stood up and said hello. Old Man Tan stood alone under the crystal chandelier. The words in front of him made Tan Wu finish speaking, he was a gourd without a mouth, looking at Bo Ol, they didn't know what to say, they just sighed vigorously, Bo Ol sat down in his place again, but he took a step back slightly, stood in a position parallel to Zhong Qing, and just took a look at Chen Fangfei.
He was concerned about Wanchun's whereabouts at the moment, somewhat absent-minded, and didn't say hello to the new guest when he saw it. Chen Fangfei originally nodded to him, but when he didn't react, he blushed first, thinking that Bo Yu was the eldest young master of the Li family, where was he qualified to greet others? I thought that my actions would make Burol misunderstand that she was a girl who was trying to climb high, but I didn't feel a little shrunken, and it seemed that it was redundant to be alone in this room, and I didn't know how to stand. Jin Li saw her by mistake, so she said, "Sister Fangfei, come and sit down and wait." β
Chen Fangfei let her sister Fangfei relieve the siege, and she should nod to Jin Li and salute: "You can sit, Miss Biao, I have been sitting upstairs for a long time, and I am not tired standing like this." After speaking, she was very worried about Wanchun in her heart, so she whispered to her cousin Zhongqing, "Is it only the fourth lady who is missing?" β
Zhong Qing ran outside all afternoon, but he didn't find Wanchun, so he was inevitably a little frustrated, so he said perfunctorily: "I didn't see it with the coachman, and I couldn't find it." β
Chen Fangfei lowered her head slightly, thought about it and asked her, "Then, can't the coachman find it?" Have you asked all the coachmen's homes? β
Her words were really abrupt, but they were also fresh. Zhong Qing raised his eyebrows, because they were too worried about Wanchun, they never paid too much attention to the coachman who disappeared together, and they never sent anyone to the driver's house to ask if the other person had returned. At this moment, Chen Fangfei woke up with a word, and Zhong Qing was busy in the living room and shouted to the messenger: "Monkey, monkey, you come, I have something to ask you." β
The monkey was waiting outside the living room door, and when he heard the sound, he hurriedly pushed open the glass door and came in, "Madam, are you looking for me?" β
Zhong Qing hurriedly instructed him: "Quick, go quickly, you go in person, and ask the porter who is the coachman who accompanied the eldest young master and the fourth lady out today, and where the family lives." Find a few more people to go to his house and ask, has he come home today? β
The monkey agreed, both inside and outside the living room knew that the fourth lady from Jiujing was lost in Shanghai, and when he heard Zhongqing's instructions, he was afraid that he would have eyebrows. He did not dare to stay, and stomped out of the glass door as if the soles of his feet were oiled, and shouted in the courtyard to ask a few people to the porter.
Zhong Qing and the others were waiting restlessly in the living room, and after a quarter of an hour, Hou Sheng came back alone, pushed the glass door and said: "Madam, the one who went out with the car today is the newly hired coachman Master Wang, who has been here for more than three months and lives in the southern suburbs of the city. Fang Dongzi and the others have already gone to his house to find it, and they will have to wait for a while to know the news. β
Zhong Qing stepped on thin gold-heeled high heels, stomped on the parquet floor tiles, and said hatefully: "I just said don't hire outsiders casually, I don't know where this new one came from." If you are a shallow-eyed person, you will see the wealth and hurt the fourth sister in the slightest, look at me holding him and not picking off his skin! β
She is no longer in a mess, and the slightest bit of news will detonate her uneasiness, I am really afraid that Wanchun will have an accident under her nose.
Yu Shi and Li Lanfeng were also anxious and restless, but they had lived more than 20 years longer than Zhong Qing, and they had already experienced the ability to tolerate, and seeing that the matter was involved in the head of the coachman, Li Lanfeng flicked away a piece of cigarette ash falling on the spark, and said with a smoke: "It's good to have news, it's good to have news!" The shallow eyelids took the money and sent it away, he knew in his heart, where was the identity of the girl, he didn't dare to mess around! Don't mess around! "Because the speech is so slow and methodical, it is not like speaking to others, but as if it is speaking to yourself. After saying this, the ash had also fallen, and he said, "You Lin, you send another team of men to follow them to the coachman." β
Tan Rulin had already called someone to follow him without waiting for his command, and the room was quiet again, but it was no longer the same as the depression before. In the silence at this moment, there is a little hope, just like a person who went to buy a lottery bet, he was already about to lose everything, but in the end he suddenly found a coin in the money bag, so he took it out and bet it again, holding his breath and waiting for the lottery.
Only the ticking of the clock in his ears indicated that everything in the room was still alive, and Zhong Qing was impatient to wait, and had already sat down on the armrest of the sofa half-leaning over. She pulled Chen Fangfei by the hand and made her sit beside Jin Li, with her elbows on her shoulders, against the position of her temples, and gently rubbed them.
Chen Fangfei let her move without saying a word, silently like a figure drawn in an ink paintingβbecause there was really nothing left for her to say. When Tan Ru was about to have a full moon banquet, he only cared about the group of people who entertained their yamen, and when he heard the bad news of Li Yujun, he only cared about his own sadness, but he didn't seriously look at this cousin who came from a distance.
There is nothing else to deal with at the moment, except to wait for news or wait for news, he sat on the opposite side of the wenge carved leaky back chair, tilted his head slightly, and looked down from the half-squinted eyes, from the upper, the hem of the flag shirt, the satin trim, and the willow leaf buckle, until he saw Chen Fangfei's face. Compared with Zhongqing's flamboyance, Chen Fangfei's face can't help but be a little lighter, and her eyebrows are bent a little, but unfortunately they are sparse and bright enough. The eyes are not big, and it is rare that the eyes are as black as ink, and they reveal a little bit of aura. The lips were a faint red, as if the latest rouge paste had been soaked in water before rubbing it on.
There is not much chewing on the figure, but the flag shirt is too long, like a foot wrap, wrapping her whole body in it, which makes people suddenly boring. Moreover, the color of the flag shirt is like a jasper glaze, old like an antique, which makes her a few years older, but fortunately, her complexion is pale, and people still believe it when she is twenty years old. - He remembered the idea of being an old man again, and the girl who didn't come out of the pavilion always looked more and more attractive, so he filtered in his mind who would be able to catch up with the matchmaker.
