Chapter 069: Mrs. Wen
When Yuan Qianwei and Mi Xiaobei returned to Yuanfu again, it was already afternoon, but Yuan Zheyu was missing.
At dusk, Yuan Fu was ready to have dinner, but he still didn't see Yuan Zheyu, and Yuan Qianwei felt that something was wrong.
"Second uncle, where's my father?"
When Yuan Qianwei is not playful, she is still very polite to the domestic servants, even if it is usual, she respects the old housekeeper Yuanfu, and she has always called him the second uncle.
As for whether Yuanfu is the second in line, no one knows.
Yuan Fu put his finger to his lips, approached Yuan Qianwei lightly, glanced at the teahouse in Erzhongmen, and whispered: "Miss, after the master came back in the morning, he entered the teahouse and drove out the guards, and he hasn't seen the master since." I didn't dare to leave, I didn't dare to come closer, so I stood guard outside the heavy gate. ”
Yuan Qianwei glanced back at the teahouse, where the body of Ni Shang was parked.
She hesitated, then turned and walked over.
Mi Xiaobei also hesitated, but didn't follow after all.
smiled at Yuanfu, ready to find some gossip to pass the time.
"Second uncle, right, you are always the housekeeper of the Yuan Mansion?"
In fact, when it comes to age, it is not an exaggeration for Mi Xiaobei to call Yuanfu an uncle, and Yuanfu, who is sixty years old, already looks very old.
In fact, Yuanfu has always been obscene, and he has never done a good thing.
Eighteen years ago, he took the family of the Yuan Mansion to burn down Bi Xiaotian's thatched house, and then chased him to the foot of Dongyue Peak and captured the eldest lady Yuan Manqi alive.
Just yesterday, he snatched Lan Ni's body from the mortuary of the mansion, almost making the Yuan Mansion and the mansion settling a grudge.
However, no one in Yuanfu knew that Yuanfu was not an ordinary person in the first place, except for the old man.
"Hey......
Yuan Fu nodded and smiled, and even bowed slightly, and said, "Childe, please go to Menong Zhai to sit for a while." ”
Yuanfu didn't know what happened in Yuanfu, and throughout the day, the lord and the young lady went in and out several times, and they all had cold faces.
But he saw that the young lady and this Mi boy were walking in and out very closely, so he naturally didn't dare to slack off.
"Menon Zhai?"
Mi Xiaobei asked in confusion and glanced around.
"Hey......
Yuan Fu still smiled and said: "Mo Nong Zhai is the old residence, the guard room of the Yuan Mansion. ”
He turned back and pointed to the two-bedroom apartment where he lived.
Mi Xiaobei also smiled in return, and prepared to go to Menong Zhai to take a rest.
Yuan Fu followed behind, smiling mysteriously.
He really wanted Mi Xiaobei to enter Menongzhai, and on this day, Yuanfu had waited too long.
Just when Mi Xiaobei raised his hand and was about to push the door, Yuan Qianhao's exclamation suddenly came from the double door: "Come on, come on!"
Wang Yishui, the captain of the guard who had just returned to the Yuan Mansion from the countryside to pay tribute to his deceased father, heard the exclamation of the young lady, and immediately rushed into the double gate with four family members.
Mi Xiaobei also hurriedly turned around and rushed in.
The tea shop in the double gate was empty, including the neon clothes that had been parked inside.
At this time, the Yuan Mansion suddenly exploded, and Wang Yishui went to the firewood room to check the bodies of the two family members who were "bitten to death" before, but they were also gone.
Fifty-six guards and family members, thirty-eight maids, more than 20 miscellaneous servants, and more than 100 people all went out to search all the corners of the entire Yuan Mansion, but they still couldn't see Yuan Zheyu and the three corpses.
The old housekeeper Yuanfu suddenly panicked, he had been guarding the gate, and he hadn't left after eating, so it was impossible for the master to go out from the gate.
Even if he flew out, what is the explanation for the three corpses?
The second lady Lu Xiaoxue went out to play, and her Meiyu Pavilion was easy to enter, but she had to be led by Yuan Qianwei.
No matter how Lu Xiaoxue was snubbed, the people of the Yuan Mansion still didn't dare to provoke her.
Yuan Qianwei, Mi Xiaobei and Wang Yishui jumped into the Meiyu Pavilion from the window, and all the three rooms were checked, and there was no place to hide people.
Now, the Yuan Mansion is sending the Guifang Pavilion of the eldest lady Wen.
Most of the women's rooms are named after the "pavilion", but only those with status are qualified to live in the "pavilion".
The room like Yuan Qianha, called Ziwei Pavilion, has been laughing for many years.
And in this Guifang Pavilion, all year round, seven or eight hours a day, only the sound of "tuk tuk" wooden fish comes out from it.
This is no exception.
There was the sound of wooden fish in Guifang Pavilion, which naturally proved that the eldest lady was at home, and the three of them naturally did not dare to enter through the window.
"Auntie!"
Yuan Qianwei knocked lightly on the door and called "Auntie".
Since she was a child, she has called Mrs. Wen the eldest lady.
She is too lazy to take care of adult affairs, and she can't take care of it, but she gets along well with the eldest lady, Mrs. Wen.
It's just that in recent years, Wen has almost stopped going out, and he doesn't even ask when the sky falls, so the two have no dealing.
"Squeak......
The door opened a five-inch-wide slit, and inside was an old face.
Wang Yishui was taken aback, he had been a guard in the Yuan Mansion for eighteen years, and he had never seen the true face of Mrs. Wen.
Now when I look at this old face, I have a lot of understanding and support for the old man in my heart.
Compared with the little lady, not to mention the age, the big thing is in terms of appearance and temperament, it is simply heaven and earth.
"What's the matter"?
The old face in the crack of the door spoke, and it was very cold.
"Aunt Yin, where is the eldest lady?" asked Yuan Qianwei anxiously.
Wang Yishui was suddenly stupid, it turned out that this old woman was Mrs. Wen's personal maid aunt.
Since Xiao Cao became the housekeeper of the Yuan Mansion, she has been arrogant and domineering, and many elderly maids and even family members have found an excuse to "return to their hometowns" and quit.
But Aunt Yan has always stayed by Mrs. Wen's side, because she is Wen's marrying maid, and she has never married, so she has been living with Wen in Guifang Pavilion.
In addition to cooking and laundry, and occasionally going out to buy some spicy paper candles, there is not much to do in Guifang Pavilion, so Aunt Yan rarely goes out.
"My young lady is chanting, and no one is allowed to disturb her. ”
Aunt Yan said that she was going to close the door.
Yuan Qianwei hesitated, stretched out his hand to block the door but did not block it, seeing that the crack in the door was about to close, Mi Xiaobei quietly stretched out his toes and inserted it into the crack of the door below.
No matter how hard Aunt Yan tried, the door couldn't close.
As soon as he lowered his head, he saw Mi Xiaobei's toes stretched in, and he was immediately furious: "Are you going to rebel?
"Sir?...... My dad is gone!"
Yuan Qianwei suddenly looked like a child who had lost his support, and almost cried. I pushed the door open.
The sound of wooden fish in the back room suddenly stopped.
"...... Baby"
With a soft call, a woman walked out of the Buddhist hall.
A strange fragrance came to her face, and the woman came lightly wrapped in plain clothes, but she couldn't hide her charming natural beauty.
"Miss, they ......"
Aunt Yan flashed timidly, hunched behind the woman.
Wang Yishui was stunned again.
In the ten years he has been in Yuanfu, although he has never met Mrs. Wen, he has a lot of conjectures in his heart.
And the woman who appeared in front of him at this moment, he didn't dare to associate the other party with the old lady no matter what.
If it weren't for this person who called Aunt Yan "Yan'er", if it weren't for Aunt Yan who called this person "Miss", he couldn't believe that the legendary Wen family, a lady who was nearly sixty years old, turned out to be a beauty as beautiful as a fairy.
Fifty-eight-year-old Wen, but with an eighteen-year-old beauty, could it be that the old lady is practicing the art of immortality?
