Chapter 186: Don't Hide
Although it was already spring, the sky was still covered with a thick layer of dark clouds, and the sun could not shine down, and the sky and the earth were gray and gray.
At the head of the village where Lin Xiucai was located, a woman with a vegetarian body knelt in front of the new grave and burned paper money.
Su Xue gently lifted the black veil of her hat and looked at the woman from a distance.
"Miss, I just asked the woman in the village, and said that it was Lin Xiucai's grave, she couldn't be wrong, she must be Sister-in-law Chu's daughter!" Miaomeng hurriedly said, her heart was excited.
Su Xue put down the black veil and did not make a sound.
Sister-in-law Chu said that Qingluo was sold five years ago, when she was only eight years old, and now she is thirteen or fourteen years old, which is in line with this woman.
Nine out of ten is Sister-in-law Chu's daughter, Qingluo.
Miao Meng immediately stepped forward to call Qingluo, telling her that her sister-in-law Chu had gone to Hezhou, and all she wanted was to see her again.
was pulled by Su Xue.
Miaomeng turned back in surprise, and Su Xue only said, "Don't worry." ”
Qingluo knelt for a while, got up, and the maid behind her immediately stepped forward to support her, and carefully put on a plain white cloak for her.
When she walked past Su Xue, Qingluo couldn't help but sob, and the maid on the side immediately said softly: "Young grandma, don't be sad, go back quickly." ”
Young grandma?
Wonderful dreams were shocked.
Su Xue was not too surprised. When Qingluo walked away, he whispered to Miaomeng: "You go with me and see which family it is?" ”
Although Qingluo is vegan, the material of her clothes is expensive brocade, which is not something ordinary people can afford.
Su Xue originally guessed that Qingluo was sold to the stupid son of the official family in Beijing as a child daughter-in-law, or even further. Otherwise, how could he not have come back for so many years?
But the news that Miaomeng brought back made her stunned.
"It's the Zhao family. Miss. It's the Zhao family."
Miaomu gasped and repeated. Because even she couldn't believe it.
"The Zhao family? The notorious Zhao family in the west of Jizhou City? Su Xue also stood up in shock.
Miao Meng nodded vigorously: "The little one saw her carriage parked at the door of Zhao's house, and the little girl at the corner gate was respectful to her, and a white-faced little boy came out to greet her in person, and I heard the little maid call him young master!" ”
Su Xue sat down slowly, frowning.
It turned out that Qingluo was sold to the Zhao family......
The Zhao family and Lin Xiucai's village head in the west of the city is only half an hour's journey at most, why did Sister-in-law Chu not know the whereabouts of her daughter for five years?
And seeing that Qingluo is already the young grandmother of the Zhao family, it is not a big difficulty to get out. Lin Xiucai died, she still had to go to the grave to kneel and cry, why hadn't she come out to see Sister-in-law Chu in the past five years?
Could it be ...... Is she unwilling?
"Let's go and inquire about this young grandmother of the Zhao family. Maybe we found the wrong person, she is not Sister-in-law Chu's daughter. After pondering for a long time, Su Xue said in a low voice.
She didn't want to believe that it was the person she was looking for, that there must be something wrong with it.
Miaomeng firmly believes that it is Sister-in-law Chu's daughter, yes, really, when people inquire, it is really true.
After Qingluo was sold into the Zhao family, she followed the surname Zhao and got such an atmospheric lady as Zhenzhen.
Outside, she calls herself Zhao's Zhenzhen. But in private, especially the young master of the Zhao family still likes to call her milk name Qingluo.
At first, I heard that the young grandmother of the Zhao family was named Zhao Chuzhen. Miaomeng was also stunned for a while, but fortunately, the inquiring mother-in-law had the means, and actually got acquainted with the Zhao family's housekeeper mother, and only after going back and forth did she inquire about the young grandmother of the Zhao family.
The young master of the Zhao family drowned when he was young, although he was rescued, he had a serious illness, and after he got better, he was stupid and stupid, and he insisted on sticking to his sister who was two years younger than him, saying that it was his daughter-in-law.
Because the young master did not die, the Zhao family spoiled him more and more, and at first the family followed him, but then he became more and more wanton, and scared the little sister to cry several times.
Aunt Zhou, the biological mother of the sister-in-law, was naturally unhappy, but she didn't dare to speak out, so she had no choice but to come up with a way to secretly instigate Master Zhao and Mrs. Zhao to promote a maid for the young master to be a child daughter-in-law.
And the young master is stupid like this, I'm afraid it will be a little difficult to find a daughter-in-law when he grows up, just using the Zhao family's property as a temptation, the one he finds must not be a sincere person, and accepting a child daughter-in-law, at least there is affection, which is the best way.
Mr. Zhao and Mrs. Zhao agreed very much with this.
At the beginning, a few girls were selected from among the relatives of the Zhao family's mother-in-law to show the young master.
The young master couldn't look down on any of them, he didn't even look at them, and he still chased after his sister-in-law.
In desperation, I had to spend a lot of money to look around, but it was still not smooth at first, and the young master was even more crazy when he saw those female babies, and the female babies were also frightened by the young master's appearance and cried.
Just when Mr. Zhao and Mrs. Zhao were about to give up, the old mother said that there was still someone who wanted to sell her daughter, so she might as well come in and take a look.
When Qingluo was brought in, there were still two lines of dried tears on her little face, although she was only seven or eight years old, but her eyes were already ancient, as if she had gone through countless hardships and was desperate.
Mrs. Zhao frowned and shook her head when she saw it, looking at the dejected appearance, the appearance of a living widow.
glared at the old mother and scolded: "If you want to find it, find a lively and clever one, how can you want this?" ”
The old mother was criticized, and dragged Qingluo to leave angrily, but as soon as she took two steps, the young master, who had been playing with stones, suddenly reacted, pointed at Qingluo and shouted with a smile: "Daughter-in-law, daughter-in-law!" ”
Master Zhao and Mrs. Zhao were stunned.
It was Aunt Zhou who reacted first, stepped forward and grabbed Qingluo's arm tightly, and shouted: "Look at this girl's Peugeot!" That's her, that's her! ”
The young master of the Zhao family also laughed, and followed: "Daughter-in-law Peugeot, daughter-in-law Peugeot!" ”
Qingluo looked at the crazy and stupid young master of the Zhao family in a daze, without any waves in her eyes.
Since then, the young master of the Zhao family finally stopped pestering his sister-in-law and calling his daughter-in-law, and Qingluo also took on the responsibility of taking care of the young master's food, clothing, and daily life.
It's strange to say, since he has his own little daughter-in-law, the young master's dementia has improved a lot, sometimes he can not get sick for three or five days, just like a normal person, which makes Master Zhao identify this prospective daughter-in-law, and Mrs. Zhao loves Qingluo as her own daughter. Even the name of Chuzhen was given by Mrs. Zhao herself.
Qingluo had just turned twelve, and the Zhao family hurriedly made a ceremony for her and completed the marriage.
After becoming a legitimate young grandmother, Mrs. Zhao mentioned that she would hand over some of the affairs of the Zhao family to the young master. Aunt Zhou immediately blew the pillow wind to Master Zhao, saying that the young master only listened to the words of the young grandmother at the moment, and handed over such a huge family business of the Zhao family to the young master at once, wouldn't it be equivalent to giving it to the young grandmother? How does this work?
Master Zhao also hesitated.
Mr. Zhao was self-made, and he was devoted to business in his early years, so he got married very late, and finally fought for most of his life to finally spell out such a family business, and he also survived a body of illness.
But Aunt Zhou's words are not unreasonable, her daughter-in-law is always an outsider, and he is really not at ease when he hands over such a big family business to an outsider.
It's okay to say that the young master is a sharp-witted person, but he is a stupid and stupid person, and he only listens to the daughter-in-law.
In the end, under Aunt Zhou's soft grinding and hard bubbles, Master Zhao temporarily handed over the young master's share to his daughter and son-in-law to take care of.
Seeing that the young master's dementia is getting better day by day, thinking that in two more years, he will hand over the family business to him, even if it is to be corrupted, he will be corrupted, who called him Old Man Zhao is such a lone seedling?
But just last year, Mrs. Zhao suddenly fell ill and died in less than two months. Master Zhao was also depressed, and because he was old, Aunt Zhou settled him to recuperate.
After the loss of his mother, the young master, who was already getting better, became even more stupid, although he had taken over the entire Zhao family's family business, most of them were taken care of by Aunt Zhou and her sister-in-law.
"No wonder the reputation of the Zhao family has become worse and worse in recent years, this old man Zhao has left it alone, and the younger generations only care about the loser." Miao Meng took a sip of the tea bowl as she spoke.
Su Xue pursed her lips lightly and said slowly: "It turns out that Zhao Chuzhen was given by the Zhao family, so in this way, it is indeed Sister-in-law Chu's daughter......
"Can't be wrong, can't be wrong, it's definitely true!" After Miaomeng finished speaking, he continued to drink water.
This Zhao family is a big rice bank in Jizhou, and the family has a lot of money, and the gold and silver mountains can't be spent in a few lifetimes.
Thinking that Qingluo turned out to be a child daughter-in-law for the young master of the Zhao family, this is not bad, at least she can be a young grandmother who has no worries about food and clothing.
But when she thought that the daughter that Sister-in-law Chu had been looking for for five years was close at hand, Miaomeng was so anxious that she couldn't do it.
"Since she is Qingluo, why haven't she been back for the past five years, and she hasn't even sent a message, which has made Sister-in-law Chu sad for five years." Su Xue frowned and muttered, "It must be more than that, it's ...... Could it be that there is something else hidden? ”
Miao Meng shook her hand and said, "Miss, don't think so much, make sure she is Qingluo, isn't this it?" When Sister-in-law Chu heard the news of Qingluo, she immediately dropped the bun shop and rushed over, looking at this hour, she was afraid that she had already entered Jizhou. Do you want someone to pick up Sister-in-law Chu later? After all, to cross the threshold of the rich man, it is too shabby and not to be done. ”
Miao Meng was still thinking about it in pieces, but Su Xue was stunned when she heard it.
"You told Sister-in-law Chu about this?" She stood up in shock.
Miao Meng was stunned for a moment, and the cup in his hand was almost not held.
"With the news of Qingluo, shouldn't I tell Sister-in-law Chu......" Miaomeng asked stunned, but seeing Su Xue's shocked face, Miaomeng couldn't help but feel empty.
It just so happened that Ah Zheng came up with a recipe in his hand and asked, "Doctor Su, what kind of heat is needed for tortoiseshell glue boiling this time?" ”
Su Xue looked at the recipe in his hand, and said in a deep voice: "Simmer, you can add a little rice wine until it is thick and paste." ”
Ah Zheng sighed, quickly wrote down, and was about to turn around, but was stopped by Su Xue.
"You will go and talk to Dr. Zhang later, I have an urgent matter here and need to go away first, and let him take care of it first."
Without waiting for Ah Zheng to answer, Su Xue went out of the house, Miaomeng was stunned for a while, grabbed the hat on the table and hurriedly followed out. (To be continued......)
