Chapter 104: The Dust Settles

Yu Wuxiao and Ou Shiqiu went to the Spring Residence Pavilion.

Mrs. Ou hadn't seen the two of them for nearly a year, and when she saw them, she couldn't help but stop them and ask them long and short questions.

Ou Shiqiu is used to coaxing people, and he plays treasure in front of his mother, but the kung fu of three or two sentences coaxes Mrs. Ou to be excited. scolded with a smile, "You little leather monkey, you have grown so big, you don't know how to be restrained!"

Hearing this, Ou Shiqiu put away the folding fan in his hand, and used it to pull back the black hair scattered on his chest, "Mother, isn't this in front of you?" If your son doesn't dare to do this outside, there are enough people rushing to be your daughter-in-law! ”

When Mrs. Ou heard this, her eyes lit up, "Then you really brought back a daughter-in-law for your mother!" ”

Ou Shiqiu's meaning was to boast about himself, but he never thought that he had dug a big hole for himself. Hurriedly waved his hand, "Mother, your son is suave and graceful, Yushu is in the wind, and you are still worried about no one?" There's no need to rush. ”

Mrs. Ou took this matter to heart, "If you experience an ordinary child of a family, a baby as big as you will be embraced." Although we are not eunuchs, your marriage should also be mentioned. Changfeng, do you have a lady of the right age? ”

In this matter, the owner of Ou Zhuang had discussed with Ou Shiqiu earlier, and secretly the owner of Ou Zhuang supported his son to find his sweetheart by himself. However, since his wife asked, "I have a family." The second daughter of the Cheng family in Jiangnan has just reached the end of the year this year, I don't know if the marriage is engaged, and Jing'er of the Qian family seems to have reached the age of marriage. ”

"Yes," Mrs. Ou suddenly realized, "Jing'er's girl is not bad, and our two families know each other." By the way, isn't Xu Zhi in Beijing? Let's just ask him. ”

Seeing that the owner of Ou Zhuang and Mrs. Ou were talking more and more outrageous, as if he was going to settle his marriage immediately, he couldn't help but smile bitterly, "Dad, mother, can you ask the opinions of the parties?" ”

……

The three of them argued, but Yu Wuxiao didn't say a word beside him. A discerning person can tell at a glance that he is absent-minded.

The owner of Ou Zhuang and Mrs. Ou naturally saw it, and the three of them stopped arguing. Ou Zhuang said, "No Xiao, but do you have something on your mind?" ”

The room was silent for a long time. The owner of Ou Zhuang coughed heavily and said, "No Xiao!" ”

"Ahh Uncle, what, what? "Yu Wuxiao is in a trance, and his heart and mind are all about what Xiao Dong asked in the Bamboo Heart Courtyard.

At this time, Xiao Dong came out of the Bamboo Heart Courtyard and returned to the Spring Pavilion.

"Daddy. Mother, eldest brother, no Brother Xiao. Xiao Dong greeted them one by one, and when he walked into the house, he secretly made a secret signal to Yu Wuxiao.

Yu Wuxiao made a gesture and said goodbye, "Uncle, aunt, Wuxiao suddenly remembered that there were still important things to do in the store, so I had to go back quickly." No Xiao will come back to visit another day. ”

The owner of Ou Zhuang groaned, "Serious business, go quickly." ”

After Yu Wuxiao left. Xiao Dong also followed closely and ran away.

"Father, mother, there is still something to do in that Zhuangzi, and I will leave too." Oshk Road.

"Come back." Mrs. Ou said in a deep voice, "What's the matter with your sister and Wu Xiao?" ”

——

Xiao Dong quickly caught up with Yu Wuxiao.

Today's weather is excellent, with the sun shining and the snow melting. The sun is lazy, and the warm breeze gives people the illusion that spring is coming.

Yu Wuxiao stood under the eaves of the green tiles, waiting for Xiao Dong.

"Isn't it?" He asked.

Xiao Dong stood under the sun, facing Yu Wuxiao. I was a little panicked in my heart. After thinking for a moment, she nodded, "Yes." ”

Although Yu Wuxiao had already guessed, before he was sure. He still had a glimmer of hope.

He asked again, his voice a little hoarse, "Portrait... Did you show her? ”

"Yes." Dongmei said, "I only confirmed it after looking at the portrait." ”

Yu Wuxiao stood quietly under the eaves, his lips tightly closed, and his expression was cold. There was a hint of despair in her jade-like eyes.

Seeing this, Xiao Dong couldn't help but secretly regret it. Knowing today, it would have been better for her to save him earlier.

——

Ou Shiqiu, who was left in the Chunju Pavilion, couldn't cry or laugh after listening to the words of the owner of Ou Zhuang and Mrs. Ou, "Where did you think of going?" How could my sister be interested in Wu Xiao? ”

It turned out that the owner of Ou Zhuang and Mrs. Ou had been absent-minded when they saw Yu Wuxiao before, and after Xiaodong came, the two left the Spring Pavilion one after the other. was suspicious, so he left Ou Shiqiu for interrogation.

"Really? Wu Xiao, this child was also watched by me and your father, but it doesn't hurt for you to say it. Mrs. Ou said.

"Nope. Father, mother, let me tell you the truth. Wu Xiao and Dong'er, they all have their own sweethearts. Ou Shiqiu pinned the fan to his waist and crossed his hands on his waist, with the momentum of fighting with you if you don't believe me.

Seeing that her son was in a hurry, Mrs. Ou softened her voice, "Who is Dong'er's sweetheart?" ”

"Who else could it be? Isn't it the second young master of the Xiao family? ”

Hearing her son say this again, Mrs. Ou almost believed what Xiao Dong said in his letter. "That's good. In that case, I'll go back to the General's Mansion tomorrow. While the eldest brother and Xun'er were there, Dong'er's marriage was decided. ”

On this day, a lot happened. It is the end of Yu Wuxiao's seven-year persistence, the process of Xiaodong's life, and the beginning of Xuanyuan Hao's counterattack.

When Qian Tu returned to Jingzhaoyin's Mansion, he went to the study to check the files on the disappearance case in the capital in the past two years, and almost stayed up all night.

Until he closed the last page of the dossier, he didn't notice anything out of the ordinary.

Since Emperor Mo came to power, although there have been wars in the Northern Desert and Nanling outside the country, but since the feudal war repelled the Northern Desert army in the border city, the Great Qi and the Northern Desert have been in the stage of recuperation in the past two years.

Inside, Emperor Mo was quite far-sighted in political affairs, and the style of the court was gradually corrected. Not to mention far away, let's just say that in recent years, the security of the capital has become more and more rigorous.

The number of missing persons has been reduced by more than half from 381 in the 10th year of Emperor Mo and 173 in the 15th year of Emperor Mo. By the twenty-first year of Emperor Modi, the number of missing people in the capital had plummeted to less than 100.

By the time he became Jing Zhaoyin, this number was quite stable. In the 22nd year of the Modi Dynasty, 75 people, 23 years, 68 people, 24 years and 82 people, and since the beginning of this year, there are less than 60 people in the record, which is the least number of missing people in recent years.

Qian Tu rubbed his sleepy eyes, his thoughts were a little confused.

Yesterday, King Hao told him all about the matter, and there was a secret room in the Zhuangzi of Jingshan of the Zhao family, and the secret room was quite large. If King Hao remembers correctly, there are about thirty or forty stone-made secret rooms in the secret room.

Linked to what happened to Princess Hao and the little lady of the Xie family, Qian Tu dared to be sure, there must have been many people arrested in the secret room.

It is true that there were 14 more missing persons last year than the year before, but they were within reasonable limits. Qian Tu glanced at the files scattered on the case, hey, Lao Tzu will look at it one last time. (To be continued.) )

PS: The second watch is very late, really late. If you don't sleep, hurry up and go to sleep, I continue to stay up late.
