Chapter 588: Returning Home
flipped through the notes again, and Lian Man'er confirmed again that the two notes she wrote were indeed not among them. After thinking about it, Lian Man'er asked the shopkeeper Jiang a question.
“…… It's not that it's all taken back, why am I looking at it...... How many are missing? ”
"Yes...... It's two missing. The shopkeeper Jiang wiped his sweat, thinking that the girl from the owner had really found out. Because it is the notes of several masters and girls of the owner, there are also words written by Mr. Lu. When pasting lantern riddles, the shopkeeper Jiang instructed his men to be careful, don't break the paper, and take it back when the time comes. It's just that, unexpectedly, I still lost two of them. "I was very careful, and then I searched everywhere I could. …… I'm afraid it's because there are too many people, and in the midst of the chaos, this ......"
Shopkeeper Jiang looked ashamed. That note shouldn't have been lost. In the business of grocery stores and department stores, he and his men have long practiced the ability to see six ways and listen to all directions, otherwise when there are many people, their monthly silver will not be enough to compensate for the lost goods. And, that night, he had been paying attention, hardly relaxing for a moment.
If there is a time when there is a distraction, it is only when it is time to deal with the group of people who come from the city.
He knows all the guys in the shop, and no one will take these riddle notes.
The note was gone, and it could only be when they felt comfortable and threw the note away.
Shopkeeper Jiang was a little uneasy, this matter can be big or small, it just depends on whether Lian Man'er wants to pursue it.
Lian Man'er listened to what the shopkeeper Jiang said, and waved her hand while carefully looking at his expression. Let the shopkeeper Jiang go out, and did not continue to ask.
When the shopkeeper Jiang went out, Lian Man'er asked Xiaoxi to put away the note of the riddle.
"Girl, I've heard that Jiang's shopkeeper is fine. He also has times when he leaks. Xiaoxi said to Lian Man'er while working.
"When the tiger is still napping, let alone him. It was indeed a crowded day. Lian Man'er smiled. Said.
Shopkeeper Jiang's performance in Lianji Department Store is quite good, no one has any fault, Lian Man'er doesn't want to criticize Shopkeeper Jiang for this matter. Moreover, with the delicacy of Jiang's shopkeeper, she believes that if someone hadn't had the heart to take this note, this note would not have disappeared.
Who would have the heart? It's just a riddle. Her handwriting is really not a master's handwriting. And no one knows which riddle she wrote.
And the two notes she wrote were missing.
There is another reason why Lian Man'er refuses to blame the shopkeeper Jiang. She already had a guess in her mind about the "thief" who took the note. Thinking about Shen Xiaopang's "bad deeds", he guessed the riddle and took the lottery, but he didn't say it.
Hum. Lian Man'er unconsciously lifted the pen and drew a fat little man on a piece of rice paper, and then, on the back of the villain's buttocks, added a big fluffy tail.
× 100 × × searched × and searched for × eight × and one × × × × of the Chinese Network
Looking at the picture on the paper that seemed to be a human and a fox, Lian Man'er couldn't help but laugh. After a short pause, she wrote two big words next to the villain's head, "Little thief". After sitting for a while, she used a big fork to tick off the words "little fat and thief".
It was at this time. I heard Gorou's voice outside the door. Lian Man'er hurriedly put down the pen, balled the rice paper, and quickly threw it into the charcoal basin next to it.
The rice paper ball fell into the charcoal basin and ignited a small blue flame.
"Burn what, Man'er?" Gorou walked in from the outside with the curtain, and caught a glimpse of the paper ball falling into the charcoal basin and burning. Just asked.
"It's nothing, it's a broken word." Lian Man'er said, "Brother, when are we going home?" ”
"Our father has already instructed someone to prepare, and we will go back after lunch." Gorou sat down across from Lian Man'er and said. After seeing the Lantern Festival, they stayed in the county seat for two more days, just to buy the Zhuangzi in Luojia Village. Now that the Zhuangzi has been bought, all the formalities have been completed, and those who should be resettled in the Zhuangzi have also been settled, and it is time for them to return to the camp for thirty miles.
"Someone from the family just now said that Zhao Xiu'e went back to Qingyang Town." Gorou took a sip of tea and said to Lian Man'er.
Because of the focus on Zhuangzi's affairs, in the past two days, everyone has left Zhao Xiu'e's affairs behind. Now listening to Gorou say this, Lian Man'er remembered that there was such a troublesome matter.
"She went back by herself? When did you go back? Is there a letter in the old mansion? Lian Man'er asked.
“…… The news from the inn said that the businessman surnamed Zhao had gone out to talk about business in the past two days, and Zhao Xiu'e was in Qingyang Town. It's quite a big show. I went back yesterday. Gorou replied.
"The meaning of the old mansion is still a bit troublesome. Our mother went back that day and brought the letter over. I heard that our grandfather meant to take Zhao Xiu'e off immediately. But Brother Erlang seems to be a little reluctant. In the past two days, the family didn't make it clear, so I didn't go to Zhao Xiu'e. Now that Zhao Xiu'e has gone back by herself, this matter should be settled soon. ”
Regarding Zhao Xiu'e's matter, Lian Man'er didn't have much to say, and after hearing Gorou say this, he nodded and said he knew.
At noon, the masters ate and then took the car back to the camp for thirty miles.
…………
After entering the camp of thirty miles, the carriage passed by the gate of the sauerkraut workshop, and happened to see Lian Shouli, Zhao and Lian Ye'er hurrying out of the door.
"Third brother, third sister-in-law, where are you going?" Lian Shouxin jumped out of the car and asked.
"Fourth, you're back just in time." Lian Shouli hurriedly stood up.
"What's wrong?" Lian Shouxin saw that the faces of the three of Lian Shouli were different, so he asked.
"Something happened at the old mansion." Even the observance of the courtesy.
Hearing that something had happened to the old mansion, even Man'er and Gorou poked their heads out of the carriage.
*100*degree*search*search*eight*one*Chinese*text*net*
"Just now, the people in the village gave us a letter, and the fourth aunt gave us a letter. said that Zhao Xiu'e took people to the old mansion, and she also fought with the people in the old mansion. Zhao Xiu'e brought several people. Lian Ye'er's mouth was more neat, so he rushed to say.
As they were talking, everyone saw Zhang walking over from the bluestone road with Han Zhong, Han Zhong's daughter-in-law, and a few long-term workers. Behind is Xiao Qi, trotting all the way, followed by Big Fat and Second Fat.
Lian Man'er stroked her forehead, who can tell her what the situation is now? Why is this posture like it's going to help fight!
"You're back!" When Zhang saw the three of them, he greeted him, and then turned back to catch up with Xiao Qi, "Go home, it's not that you won't come." What are you doing, go back and read. ”
"What the hell is going on?" Lian Man'er asked.
"Let's talk as we go." Even Shouxin and Gorou are all right.
Wulang jumped out of the carriage, and Lian Shuxin and Lian Shouli led people on foot, and Zhang, Zhao, Lian Ye'er and Xiaoqi all got into the carriage and sat together with Lian Man'er.
It's easy to say. Zhao Xiu'e returned to the town with people yesterday, and she was busy selling houses, land, and shops, which seemed to be moving her family. And just now, Zhao Xiu'e Xu finished solving the affairs of the family, so she came to the thirty-mile camp with people and went straight to the old house of the Lian family.
The specific situation is not very clear to everyone, but they heard from the person who gave them the letter that Zhao Xiu'e led the people to fight with the people in the old house.
"In the past, don't talk about the second, everyone on both sides is at fault." Zhang said, "But Zhao Xiu'e didn't break off with Erlang, so she followed someone else, and this thing is not authentic." ”
Everyone who listened nodded, and Zhang's words were good. Not only according to the etiquette and moral standards of this era, but also in any other era, Zhao Xiu'e is betraying morality by doing this. Lianjia can send her to the official for punishment, and if she does this, not only will she not be said, but everyone will say that it is right to do so.
"Erlang is not dead to Zhao Xiu'e." Zhao sighed.
Maybe it's because of this that there has been no action on the old mansion's side, Lian Man'er thought to herself.
"Hey," Zhang also sighed, "don't talk about that." This Zhao Xiu'e is too domineering, it doesn't make sense, she dares to bring someone to fight, this whole thing is reversed. Not to mention that they are all a big family with the surname Lian, this matter, the neighbors, can't stand it. ”
Lian Man'er nodded, Zhang's was still very clear about this matter. Although she didn't have a good impression of the people in the old mansion, she couldn't watch someone bully the door of the old mansion like this.
A yard is a yard, that's the truth.
"Mother, let's help is help, when we get there, we have to see it clearly first, don't do it casually." Lian Man'er said to Zhang.
"That's for sure." Zhang nodded, "I brought these people, didn't I hear that Zhao Xiu'e also brought a lot of people." I know what is going on in my heart. ”
As he spoke, the carriage had arrived at the door of the Lian family's old mansion, and sitting in the carriage, Lian Man'er heard the shouting and scolding coming from the courtyard of the old mansion.
In front of the door of the old house, there is still a carriage parked, and the sedan chair on the carriage is still green with a tweed top.
got off the carriage, Lian Man'er secretly instructed his long-term worker to show Zhao Xiu'e's sedan chair, and then followed everyone into the old mansion.
In the courtyard of the old mansion, two groups of people are in a stalemate.
One of them is the old house men led by Lian Shouyi and Erlang, which also includes the He family, the Jiang family, the Gu family, etc. The other group, naturally led by Zhao Xiu'e, has men and women. The men are all dressed as guys, and among the women, Lian Man'er recognizes one of them as Zhao Xiu'e's sister-in-law.
The people in the old house are obviously at a disadvantage, and with the help of Chunzhu and a few other neighbors who came to pull the frame, the current stalemate situation has been formed.
At the door of the upper room, even the old man frowned. A little inside, Zhou leaned against the door frame, Lian Duo'er and Lian Ya'er stood next to Zhou's legs, Lian Duo'er was holding the big girl in her hand, and Lian Ya'er was holding the second girl in her arms, all of them were pale with a pale face.
In the yard, it was even more of a mess.
The windows of the upper room and the east and west wings were smashed, and two windows in the east wing were removed, and from the courtyard, you could see that the few pieces of furniture in the house were also smashed.
What a domineering Zhao Xiu'e!
