Chapter Twelve: The Shadow of the Old Man Comes
The two of them sat in the rockery cave, afraid of being heard, and they didn't chat, even if someone passed by, they wouldn't think that there were two children hiding on the rockery.
Shen Yahui searched for a long time, but did not find Shen Yaru hiding under Mrs. Shen's card table, nor did she find Xu Qirong and Jin Ge'er on the rockery.
The eldest lady and the others thought that there was a silver cup with Xu Qirong, and it was their own home, so they didn't pay much attention to Xu Qirong's whereabouts. Yinzhan was worried about being scolded, so she didn't dare to go back to the eldest wife. Therefore, Xu Qirong and Jin Ge'er stayed on the rockery until the banquet began, and they were not found to be missing.
Xu Qirong was a little surprised in her heart, at this time, the Shen family was busy entertaining guests, and it was normal not to notice her. But Brother Jin is the eldest son of the head of the Hua family, so I haven't seen him for so long, why hasn't the Hua family moved at all?
Jin Ge'er asked Xu Qirong in a low voice: "Why don't we go down?" I'm a little hungry. ”
Xu Qirong was also hungry, but if he thought that if he went on like this, he would fall short. She had already inquired clearly, Hua Yude also came today, accompanied by a few uncles, and talked about business matters with a few masters of other families.
What Xu Qirong thought was that Miss Hua didn't care about Brother Jin'er's nephew, and it was impossible for Hua Yude not to care. As long as Hua Yude finds that Jin Ge'er is missing, he will definitely come to find it in person. At that time, she will have the opportunity to meet Nahua Yude.
Seeing that Xu Qirong didn't speak, Jin Ge'er thought that she was unhappy, and hurriedly said: "Actually, I'm not very hungry, let's hide for a while, Miss Shen Si may find it." ”
Xu Qirong nodded with satisfaction.
After waiting for another hour, Xu Qirong pinched the time and calculated, the banquet should have ended at this time. Some of the ladies and ladies are almost time to say goodbye and go home. After all, many people have the habit of taking a nap.
But at this time, no one from the Hua family came to find Brother Jin. Xu Qirong couldn't help but be even more surprised.
asked Brother Jin in a low voice: "You and I are hiding here, won't your family look for you?" ”
Jin Ge'er said: "Aunt Seventh doesn't like me, she can't see me, and she can go back alone." It doesn't matter, I'll ask the maid to take me back when the time comes. The Hua family and the Shen family are separated by four streets, and they are not far away. ”
Xu Qirong was stunned: "If your seventh aunt goes back alone, won't your father blame her?" ”
Jin Ge'er shook his head: "The third uncle doesn't let others take care of Aunt Seven." ”
Xu Qirong frowned and asked, "Then is your third uncle good to you?" ”
Jin Ge'er smiled at Xu Qirong and said: "The third uncle is good to me, he often takes me out to play, and every time Mr. punishes me, the third uncle intercedes for me." A gentleman that my father invited me before was disrespectful to me, and it was the third uncle who came forward and changed me to a western seat. ”
Xu Qirong felt that something was wrong, and hurriedly asked, "Why is that gentleman disrespectful to you?" ”
For Xu Qirong's question, Jin Ge'er knows everything and says everything, hearing Xu Qirong ask, Jin Ge'er asked Mr. to practice calligraphy, he played tricks on Mr., Mr. said that he was not good enough to plan, and then the third uncle knew, so he helped him change a Xixi Xi and told him about it.
Xu Qirong listened and was shocked in his heart. I can't help but feel pity for Brother Jin. Such a pleasing child, who was pushed into the girls' pile by his seventh aunt to play, and practiced between words, was killed by his third uncle, which is really pitiful.
His father, don't you care?
Xu Qirong looked at Jin Ge'er's eyes and said, "Jin Ge'er, I will tell you a word today, you must remember." ”
Jin Ge'er also nodded solemnly: "I promise not to tell others, you took me to hide on this rockery." ”
Xu Qirong choked, and said in his heart, this child is really smart, if it is ruined like this, it will be a pity. So he said, "This is one thing. There's one more thing you have to promise me. In the future, you must not be naughty, you must listen to Mr. Xixi's words, read more books and be reasonable. Literacy and hyphenation, piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, riding and archery kung fu, don't fall behind. ”
Jin Ge'er was a little dazed, and said in surprise: "Why, isn't there no time to play!" ”
Xu Qirong gritted his teeth and said, "I don't play with people who have no interest." ”
Jin Ge'er agreed very happily this time: "Okay, I will study hard." ”
Xu Qirong sighed in her heart, she could only help Jin Ge'er get here, and what happened in the future could only depend on Jin Ge'er's own creation.
Because he was worried that the Hua family would really go back by himself, Xu Qirong thought about it and said to Jin Ge'er: "I don't know if the fourth cousin is still looking for us." You stay here, I'll go down and see. Don't run around, or I won't find you later. ”
Jin Ge'er patted his chest: "Don't worry, I will wait for you obediently." ”
Xu Qirong came down from the rockery, and didn't go far when he saw Yinzhan with a few little maids and rough mothers-in-law, and Jin Ge'er's personal maid looking for them. Seeing Xu Qirong, Yinzhan breathed a sigh of relief, patted her chest, and said hurriedly: "Sister Rong, where have you been?" Let's find it! What about Brother Kim? ”
Xu Qirong made up his mind and said: "Brother Jin and I are hiding separately, I climbed to the top of the rockery and accidentally fell asleep, and I came down as soon as I woke up." What's the matter, is Brother Jin gone? ”
As soon as these words came out, Yinzhan and the maid of the Hua family were all startled, and immediately realized the strictness of the matter, where did they dare not report it? Yinzhan glanced at Xu Qirong's somewhat dirty white clothes, in the end, it was the powerful big girl beside Mrs. Shen, who was stable. At the moment, he said to the maid of the Hua family, who was in a hurry: "You and the little maid go to our eldest lady and your young lady together to report the disappearance of Brother Jin." I'll take our cousin to change her clothes, and I'll be right away. ”
Where is there room for Xu Qirong to speak, the maid of the Hua family hurriedly followed the little maid to find Mrs. Shen and Miss Hua Qi. Yinzhan walked to Shuangpu Courtyard without saying a word, and when she arrived at Shuangpu Courtyard, Xu Qirong's maid and wife were naturally busy helping her change clothes and wash, and Yinzhan also took the time to let the kitchen send a bowl of ginger soup for Xu Qirong to drink. At this time, if you fall asleep on the rockery, if you get sick from the cold, it is also a terrible thing.
After everything was cleaned up, Yinzhan took Xu Qirong to find Mrs. Shen.
At this moment, the guests have already left a lot, and now as soon as everyone heard that Jin Ge'er was gone, they all said goodbye and left, so as not to cause chaos to the Shen family and the Hua family.
When Xu Qirong arrived, the maid from Washington was kneeling on the ground with an anxious expression, Mrs. Shen and others were also anxious, and Shen Yahui and Shen Yaru were obediently standing beside the eldest grandmother Jin.
Seeing Xu Qirong coming, Mrs. Shen hurriedly asked, "Sister Rong, tell me quickly, where is Brother Jin?" ”
Xu Qirong said what he had just said to Yinzhan again.
Mrs. Shen naturally didn't suspect Xu Qirong, so she sighed at the moment and scolded Yinzhan and said, "I asked you to follow my sister, how did you follow?" Sister Rong and Brother Jin are gone, you didn't say that you came to report to me, but took the Hua family's maid to find it yourself. What a good thing to be now! ”
Yinzhan was also very aggrieved, but she couldn't refute it at all, and knelt with the maid of the Hua family at the moment.
Seeing Mrs. Shen like this, Miss Hua Qi came to persuade Mrs. Shen instead: "It must be Brother Jin who is naughty and hides by himself." Blame the maid for what she does! We didn't have to look for it, so we said that I was going back with the maids, and Brother Jin heard it in the dark, so he naturally came out by himself. ”
The crowd was dumbfounded!
Xu Qirong couldn't help but say, "How do you know that Brother Jin is hiding by himself?" ”
Miss Hua Qi raised her chin and said calmly: "If it weren't for him being naughty and hiding himself, then why didn't others lose it, but he disappeared?" ”
Hearing Miss Hua Qi say this, Shen Yaru couldn't help it, and opened her mouth and said: "What if Brother Jin didn't hide by himself, there are many people today, what if something happens to Brother Jin?" ”
Miss Hua Qi's face sank, and she stopped talking. But looking at the expression, he was not convinced.
Xu Qirong glanced at Miss Hua Qi, raised his head and said to Mrs. Shen: "Auntie, let's quickly send the maids and daughters-in-law to find it, the lake is cold, and the shore of the lake is slippery, if Brother Jin accidentally falls, it will be terrible!" ”
As soon as these words came out, Mrs. Shen's face became even darker, and she couldn't care about Miss Hua Qi anymore, so she immediately ordered everyone to find Brother Jin in the garden. Thinking that the matter was important, he found a little guy and asked him to go outside to find Master Shen and invite Hua Yude in. At this time, I can't care about any men and women. Besides, the merchants are not so particular in the first place.
Seeing his aunt's order, Xu Qirong breathed a sigh of relief.
Although Hua Yude is suspected of killing his nephew, he still does a good job on the surface. When he heard that Jin Ge'er was missing, he was also in a hurry, so he immediately followed the men of the Shen family in.
followed Brother Jin'er's maid and told Hua Yude the truth again. Hua Yude said to Master Shen: "What about Miss Shen Jiabiao? If I don't mind, I'd like to ask her again. ”
Master Shen nodded, Xu Qirong was led by the Jin family to stand behind everyone, and now he was immediately led over.
Xu Qirong saw a young man wearing a white jade brocade robe standing next to Master Shen, knowing that it was Hua Yude, he raised his head, and when his eyes fell on Hua Yude's face, Xu Qirong was shocked, his hands and feet were weak, and he almost collapsed to the ground.
This face, how could she not recognize! When Yun Lan sent her to Dongchang, she was sent to the person in front of her. Hua Yude, or rather, he is Chen De, the superintendent of Dongchang!
There is still a little difference between Hua Yude in front of him and Chen De that Xu Qirong has seen. Chen De is ruthless, and his appearance is very feminine and handsome, such a person is appreciated by the emperor, so some unbearable rumors flowed out. And Hua Yude in front of him is really still a beautiful son.
