PS: Bow and thank Mr. Runde, thank you Yan Longbow for your peace and blessings, and thank you for your support!
*——————*——————*——————*
The sky will be dark.
Because the hour was still early, the maids and servants did not get up, and on the side of the bud kitchen in the middle gate, a few girls who were doing chores were busy boiling water and picking vegetables, preparing for breakfast.
The well for washing vegetables and washing rice is in the backyard of the bud kitchen, and the girl in green carries a large basket of vegetables, and goes out along the gable of the house to the edge of the well.
Next to the backyard of the bud kitchen is the stone house where the rough servants live. A man came out of the house, glanced around a few times, and when he was sure that she was the only one in the four, he took a wooden stick with a thick arm, and sneakily touched the back of the little girl.
The little girl was about to draw water, and when she heard the sound of footsteps, she didn't ****: "Ah Yin, are you also going to wash the vegetables, huh?" You are...... Ay! ”
"Bang dang!" After a sound, "Plop!" With a thud, the barrel fell into the well.
The man threw away the stick and dragged the little girl under the vine flower shelf. After a while, the "girl in green" came out again, stuck to the corner all the way, hid and walked to Hantongju.
The sky will be bright, except for the bud kitchen, the house is still silent.
The main house of the concentric building.
"Madame, ma'am!" At this time, Mama Han didn't care if her master was angry when she got up, and when she entered the house, she hurriedly lifted the curtain: "Zhao Langjun sent a letter...... Madame! ”
Zhao Langjun? Zhao Ling?
Xie Jiang opened his eyes smartly: "How can he have a letter...... Well?. ”
Xie Jiang sat up.
"The cold pond boiled water just now...... This one is pressed against the stove with a stone. Mama Han stretched out her hand to Xie Jiang to see: "The old slave didn't see anyone at the end." ”
The paper roll was crumpled by the old woman, Xie Jiang pinched the thumb and two fingers of his right hand, twisted his left hand a little bit, and there were only a dozen or so small words on the palm-sized piece of paper...... "I have found out my father's whereabouts, and I pray to come to Nancheng to discuss, Zi'an." ”
Zi'an, Zhao Ling...... The word "Ann" is the table.
"Madame...... If Zhao Langjun came back, how could he not come to visit his wife generously, how could he use such a sneaky method? ”
has been mixed in the back house for most of her life, and for all kinds of traps, even if Mama Han doesn't know ten points, she knows seven or eight points. Zhao Ling invited Xie Jiang in this way, obviously not wanting others to know.
Lowering his eyes and looking at the piece of paper, Xie Jiang did not speak.
She frowned.
There are guards patrolling the old mansion during the day and night, and in addition to the ordinary guards, there are at least two brothers of the Wu family guarding Hantongju. This person can hide from the patrol guards, and then send a note under the noses of the Wu family brothers, which is unusual in itself.
Xie Jiang was sure that this person was in the house, and he was sure that this person was a hidden eyeliner planted by someone else.
Think deeper...... Since Zhao Jiang's disappearance, King Feng drove the Zhao family into the ground, the Zhao family has been scattered, and Zhao Ling has no one available, let alone an eyeliner in the Wang family.
is not Zhao Ling's person, but he took his handwritten letter to invite his family to meet, and ...... The excuse he made just happened to "pinch" his own weakness.
Xie Jiang promised Zhao Ling that he would inquire about Zhao Jiang's news.
This promise is only known to Zhao Ling.
"Mama, when I came back from Fuyun Mountain, I met Zhao Langjun at the city gate." Xie Jiang got up and walked to the front of the desk, just raised his hand and wanted to throw it, his eyes rolled, and he spread the paper roll on the table flatly, and took the green jade paperweight and pressed it properly.
After finishing slowly, Xie Jiangfang turned to look at Mama Han, and said softly: "Now that I think about it, he must have returned to Wuyang for the first time at that time...... Mama, freshen up. ”
The meaning is obvious, she wants to be invited.
But whenever Xie Jiang made up his mind, he rarely changed it, and Mama Han simply saved the dissuasion. At that moment, the old lady took her clothes in a sullen voice, personally served her and dressed neatly, and called Beidou to serve Xie Jiang to wash up, and turned back to call Hantang to serve breakfast.
Two moments later, Xie Jiang walked out of the back door of the mansion.
A black-painted flat-headed carriage stopped at the back door, Beidou helped Xie Jiang up, and his own footstool was also collected.
"Madame, where are you going?" Beidou asked in a low voice, "The slave said goodbye to the wooden hammer, and grabbed two more jade beads when she was about to do it." ”
The little girl was in a posture of grinding her fists, Xie Jiang looked funny, pursed her lips and said, "Nancheng, well, go to Nancheng and go around." ”
At this point, Xie Jiang's voice was slightly louder.
"Yes, ma'am." The servant got the signal and replied in a daze, "Yes, ma'am, go to Nancheng." With that, he opened his mouth and yawned.
The carriage drove out of the alley.
At that time, the sky gradually brightened, and the carriage went out of East Street, and after going around the intersection, it turned and drove onto South Street.
In Wuyang City, there are many wine shops on East Street, there are many shops selling firewood and vegetables on West Street, and there are shops selling animal skin and satin, while South Street has always had few merchants and many mansions.
At that time, it was getting light, and the servants drove the carriage and walked leisurely from the street to the end of the street. On the deserted streets, there is only the crisp sound of horses' hooves.
The ninth prince still returned home from the small door of the wine shop.
Yuan Shan locked the small door and turned around to follow the Ninth Prince. The two of them walked around a large area of Luan flowers, and just turned onto the stone slab road that went forward, Wu Qi flashed out from behind the rockery: "Childe." ”
shouted this, and Wu Qi approached and bowed.
The Wu brothers only followed Xie Jiang around, and at this time, Wu Qi came here to block the road...... Obviously, something happened to Xie Jiang.
The ninth prince raised his eyebrows and asked lightly, "What's the matter, huh?" ”
Wu Qi squinted his eyes at the distant mountains, turned his face, and took two or three steps forward. This posture ...... Yuanshan's eyes rolled, and he retreated silently, and when he was a little far away, this person began to "look at the wind".
Wu Qi then suppressed his voice and said: "At midnight today, the lady hurriedly left the house, and the servants did not dare to ask, and now the eldest brother and eleven Xiaojiu followed. ”
Engraved in the middle of the hour...... Hurry out of the house?
Jiu Gongzi's heart sank, and he asked lightly, "Can you find anything abnormal?" ”
After asking this, seeing that Wu Qi was at a loss, the ninth prince coughed and induced: "For example...... Madame, who did she meet, or what did she hear, huh? ”
Jiu Gongzi's question is a question, and his feet still look leisurely, but in fact, he has sped up.
Wu Qi had no choice but to follow with a small step: "Madame didn't see anyone, and she didn't ...... Ah! Speaking of this, Wu Qi's face changed, and he said in surprise: "There was a girl before...... The girl in green went to the backyard of Hantongju. Then the man came out with a barrel...... The servants thought she was going to fetch water. ”
Draw water? What kind of water is fetched? Where to run to fetch water?
There are two wells in the backyard of Hantongju, one for drinking and the other for laundry.
A little coldness flashed in the eyes of the ninth prince, and he snorted lightly. After a sound, he flicked his sleeves and walked quickly along the stone road to Hantongju.
Wu Qi glanced at the distant mountain, and the two of them shrugged their shoulders and followed cautiously.
Hantongju was originally close to the back garden, and the three of them went out of the back garden and entered the Lielu Xuan, but they entered Hantongju in half a moment. The ninth prince had a frosty face and went straight to the door of the moon cave.
Yuan Shan and Wu Qi stared at each other for a while, and without the master's orders, the two had to stand outside with their heads down.
There was silence in the courtyard, Mama Han led Yujing to do needlework under the corridor, and when she heard the sound of footsteps, the two got up and saluted: "The old slave has seen Gongzi, Gongzi is fine." ”
The ninth prince didn't say a word, and went straight to the corridor.
The door of the hall was wide open, and the ninth prince glanced at it a few times, and then he didn't reply: "You come in." ”
This person's face was cold, and the tone of his voice was not at all as casual as before, and Mama Han knew that he must be angry because Xie Jiang left the mansion. The old lady glanced at Yujing, swept it at a glance, and then lowered her hand: "Yes." ”
Mama Han entered the hall, and without waiting for the ninth prince to speak, she curtsied and said, "Before Madame left, she left things on the desk in the bedroom. And ...... If Gongzi comes back and sees it, he will be self-explanatory. ”
It turns out that I still know how to leave a message...... Don't forget to leave a message!
Since you stayed...... Jiu Gongzi's eyes flashed, and he turned around and entered the room. The house was bright, and the curtains were ...... Bed...... The wardrobe, the silk robe that Jiang wore when he got up in the morning, was still on the couch.
The ninth prince took away the green jade paperweight and lowered his eyes to look at it. At a glance, the man only felt a pain in the corner of his forehead.
PS: Dear, there is a big watermelon here, and it is indeed five cents a pound...... Wood Someone Or? (To be continued.) )
