Chapter 142: Mountain rain is coming
The gold ingots rushed back to Songzhuyuan and returned to the study, but there was no jade unicorn. When he was wondering, he glanced at the file spread on the table, and even if he was stunned, could it be that she already knew the news of Yu's arrest?
At this moment, the jade unicorn strode into the door, and the jade unicorn, who was in a hurry, stepped forward and grabbed the gold ingot.
Seeing this, Jin Yuan Bao closed the file with his hand, and said with a relaxed smile: "What are you looking for me?" What's the trouble you want me to help you deal with? ”
"Don't interrupt!" Jade Qilin had no intention of arguing: "You have to help me find someone!" ”
"Looking for someone? Who to look for? The gold ingots were secretly surprised.
Yu Qilin said anxiously: "Liu Wenpo is missing, I want you to help me find her." ”
It turned out that I wasn't looking for Aunt Yu...... Jin Yuan Bao was much relieved, and then asked strangely: "Liu Wenpo?" Which one is Liu Wenpo? Then he immediately reacted, "The one in Dongluhe?" ”
"Well, that's her." Yu Qilin nodded and said: "Just now, the head of the village in Dongluhe came to the door, and he said that Liu Wenpo was sick in the past few days, and somehow, he was taken away by a few people with a capital accent in a carriage!" ”
When Jin Yuan Bao heard this, he didn't pay attention to it, but just pressed her down and sat down, and said with relief: "An old lady is missing, I have seen too many cases of this kind in Six Doors, don't be impatient." ”
"Granny Liu is missing, how can I not be in a hurry?" The jade unicorn was anxious.
"Why?" Jin Yuan became more and more suspicious, "Does Granny Liu have anything to do with you?" ”
"Because ......" Yu Qilin hurriedly shut up, and then turned around and said: "The people on our own Zhuangzi have been taken away by people in the blue sky and the sun." The law and order is so bad! Even we've been kidnapped, you can stand it? ”
"Of course I can't stand it, it's just ......" Jin Yuan pondered for a moment. Said: "Strange, a half-crazy and stupid old woman, and someone kidnapped, what's the picture?" ”
The jade unicorn wanted to speak and stopped.
"What's wrong?"
"No matter what the reason is, it's a human life after all, you won't care, right?"
Hearing her say this, Jin Yuan Bao was a little displeased: "Am I such a person?" ”
"Then go check it out!" The jade qilin hurriedly urged.
"Got it. If you want to check, it's not like you're in a hurry. I'm going to meet the head of the village. The gold ingot gently stopped her.
With the words of the gold ingot, the jade unicorn couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
Seeing it in his eyes, Jin Yuan couldn't help but comfort: "Don't worry." As long as it's someone you care about, I'll always get her back. Then he gently comforted her and hugged her, and then turned to leave.
In the front hall of Songzhu Garden, Liu Zhuangtou was sitting in the room with his hands down in frustration. A sight of gold ingots. Liu Zhuangtou hurriedly stood up.
The gold ingot motioned for him to sit down, and then asked what had happened.
It was only at this time that Jin Yuan felt that something was wrong. He frowned and asked, "Three people?" Beijing accent? How do you know they're heading for the capital? ”
"The four dogs drove through Mongolia and knew a few words, and they chased the car until they reached the boundary monument, which said the capital, and it would not be wrong." Liu Zhuangtou replied respectfully.
Jin Yuan pondered for a moment and asked, "What do the people in the carriage look like?" Seen it before? How do you look dressed up? ”
Four Dogs said. I don't recognize the face raw. It's just that the leader is wearing excellent materials, and the remaining two people who follow are not badly dressed, which is much better than the people in our village! The carriage is also a good material to look at, dark and dreary! ”
"So, or did someone with a lot of background kidnap Mrs. Liu?" Jin Yuan Bao pondered more and more, "What do they want from Mrs. Liu?" ”
"This Mrs. Liu has lived alone in Zhuangzi for 20 years, half crazy and half stupid, no one knows anyone and no one comes and goes, if it weren't for the last time the young master and young lady took pity on her and rewarded her with money for medical treatment, now it is estimated that she still can't speak! Who knew that it was just a little bit, and it was taken away! What the young master said was that such a lonely old woman, kidnapping her, what can you do? Liu Zhuangtou was even more confused.
"What?" Jin Yuan Bao was slightly stunned, "You mean, the only outsiders who have come into contact with her recently are me and the young lady?" ”
"Look at what the young master said, the Zhuangzi is all yours, if you and the young lady are outsiders, what are we people?" Liu Zhuangtou hurriedly laughed.
Jin Yuan thought for a while, then nodded and said, "I know, you go down, rest well for a night before leaving." Liu Wenpo here, leave it to me. ”
"Young Master, Young Lady Mercy!" Liu Zhuangtou was busy playing thousands: "We really can't do anything, so we rely on the young master and young lady!" ”
"Okay, it's also a person from the Jin family's Zhuangzi, how can I not care if something happens?"
"The villain retreats first!"
"Go for it......"
After Liu Zhuangtou retreated, the gold ingots fell into deep thought, Liu Wenpo, Jade Lady, it seems that everyone who has been deeply contacted by the Jade Qilin is missing one after another...... What's the connection?
It seems that there is a hidden line that connects it all, but what kind of line is it?
While the gold ingots were carefully sorting out their thoughts, Ah Fu hurriedly rushed in: "Young master, it's not good!" ”
"What's wrong?" His train of thought was interrupted, and Jin Yuanbao's face was a little irritable.
"Young Lady and Lady ......"
"What's wrong with the young lady and the lady? Say it! The gold ingots were slightly startled.
"Just now I passed by Madame's garden, and they seem to have quarreled......"
"What?" Jin Yuan was stunned, and then hurriedly got up and went to Mrs. Jin.
"Smack!" A crunch sound came from the hibiscus garden, and it seemed to be the sound of some kind of porcelain being broken.
Jin Yuanbao panicked, and hurriedly ran over, just as he bumped into the jade unicorn standing on the ground with a non-inferior face, and Mrs. Jin broke a teacup at her feet, she was still holding the tea bowl lid in her hand, and stared at the jade unicorn with rapid breathing.
Seeing this, even if Jin Yuan Bao was angry, his mother's concessions to them were repeated again and again, he really didn't understand why the jade unicorn was so ignorant! Immediately, he didn't ask why. stepped forward and dragged the jade qilin and said angrily, "What are you doing?" Quickly make amends to my mother! ”
Jade Qilin looked at him in surprise: "You don't ask what happened?" ”
Jin Yuan Bao glanced at Mrs. Jin, and saw that her mother looked very angry, but she was still restrained. When even his face was cold: "You don't need to ask, my mother is easy not to be angry, she can be angry like this, it must be that you said something that doesn't know the height of the sky!" ”
Mrs. Jin was relieved to hear that her son was protecting her, but a touch of worry slipped across her face. She waved her hand lightly and said, "Yuanbao, you go out first-"
The jade unicorn listened. But he was angry: "What are you talking nonsense? What did I say that I don't know what the sky is over? I'm not wrong! ”
"Making my mother angry, this is a mistake in itself!" Since returning from the inn, the gold ingots are now wholeheartedly on his mother's side.
"Good!" Jade Qilin was angry, "I don't talk nonsense with you." Ask your mother yourself. Why am I not allowed to check Liu Wenpo? After saying that, he looked at the gold ingots with a stubborn face.
Seeing this, Mrs. Jin was worried, and when she saw that the jade qilin was about to open her mouth to say something, she covered her chest violently and sat down on the stone bench, gasping for breath, looking very painful.
A few maids around him heard the sound, and hurriedly rushed out to get the medicine. "Madame's heart is sick!"
Jin Yuan Bao hurriedly supported Mrs. Jin: "Mother, are you okay?" ”
"I'm fine." Mrs. Jin shook her head and said, "Yuanbao." Don't yell at the unicorn, if you have something to say. ”
Unexpectedly, his mother was so angry that she had to defend the jade qilin, and the gold ingots became more and more angry, and when she said fiercely to the jade qilin: "Go back and see how I clean you up!" ”
"You!" The jade qilin wanted to defend herself, but when she saw Mrs. Jin's painful and pale face, she was still speechless after all, so she had to stomp her feet and leave hatefully.
Seeing her leave, Mrs. Jin secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
Jin Yuan didn't have time to chase after the jade qilin, turned to Mrs. Jin and persuaded: "Mother, Qilin, she is ignorant and offended you, I apologize to you for her." ”
"Yuanbao, what do you apologize to your mother!" Mrs. Jin waved her hand weakly: "Mother is distressed that you are working hard to handle the case, and seeing that Yu Qilin is bothering you with any trivial matter, she said a few words, who would have thought that she would be so angry." ”
"Mother, it's all my fault, she's lawless and lawless. Ignore her, and I'll call her to make amends for you. ”
"How could I bother with a little girl." Mrs. Jin said helplessly, and then, after thinking about it, she asked again: "However, Granny Liu is just a crazy old woman, why are people arresting her?" ”
"This is really strange, I guess her captor must have wanted to know something from her?"
"What can an old lady know?" A little horror flashed across Madame Kim's face.
Jin Yuan shook his head: "It's not clear yet." ”
Hearing this, Mrs. Jin breathed a sigh of relief and said with a kind smile: "Yuanbao, you have a heavy responsibility on your shoulders now, and it is impossible to bow down to everything, so not only will you exhaust yourself, but things will not be done well, and you don't have to pay attention to those small cases outside the capital." What is Liu Wenpo, just ask the local yamen to find it yourself! ”
"Don't worry, mother, you don't have to worry about the outside affairs, I know it in my heart."
"Okay, then you're in charge."
The gold ingots replied noncommittally, "Hmm." ”
The mother and son chatted for a long time before the gold ingots said goodbye and left.
When the figure of the gold ingots completely disappeared at the gate of the Hibiscus Garden, Mrs. Jin slowly sat up straight, with an anxious and nervous look in her eyes, and walked quickly towards the house.
Aunt Gu was in the house just now, and she heard the quarrel between the Jade Qilin and Mrs. Jin outside the house clearly, and she asked worriedly and surprised: "Could it be that she said this because she knew what happened twenty years ago?" ”
Mrs. Jin frowned and nodded worriedly, "I doubt it too, otherwise why would she bite Wen Po and not let go?" ”
"Madam, when she said this, Xiao Cui also remembered something." Aunt Gu said hesitantly.
"Say it quickly."
"When I held a birthday banquet for you, the young lady did ask a lot about the year, including the stable woman who delivered the baby for the young master."
"What?!" Mrs. Jin gasped: "In this way, it is even more problematic." I have always suspected that she did not marry Jin Fu by mistake, but deliberately! ”
"Madame, do you mean ......" The worry on Aunt Gu's face became heavier and heavier.
"Could it be that she came for what happened twenty years ago?"
When Aunt Gu heard this, she was startled at first, then thought about it and said with relief: "Madame may have thought too much, how old is this girl Qilin." What can you know? Most of them are just curious about the young master, just a coincidence. Besides, this Mrs. Liu swore a poisonous oath in exchange for a life, she should know that it is powerful. Won't talk nonsense. ”
"That being said, but the mouth grows on her, and we can't help it."
"I heard that she is crazy and stupid, and I can't say anything if I forgive her, even if I say it, who can believe her."
"But Liu Wenpo is missing now!" Mrs. Jin said in a deep voice: "Listen to what that wild girl meant, she was still arrested by someone." If that's the case, you're in big trouble! You want to. A crazy old woman, who would arrest her? Her captors must have had other plans. I guess I want to turn over the events of 20 years ago and make a fuss! ”
"What then?" Aunt Gu also felt that the situation was serious.
"Check!" Mrs. Jin's eyes shot a resolute light: "Investigate carefully, find Mrs. Liu, find the person who arrested her, and find out what this wild girl wants to do." ”
"Xiao Cui understands!" Aunt Gu nodded and left.
At this time, in the pine and bamboo garden, the little couple was already making a fuss.
"Jade unicorn. It's only been a few days. Have you forgotten what we said at the Fuxing Inn? Jin Yuanbao forcibly suppressed his anger: "My mother even took the crime of bullying the king for us, don't you say that you are grateful to her, respect her in everything, and deliberately contradict her and anger her like this?" ”
"Why don't you ask her what she did!" The jade unicorn collided untamedly.
"What did my mother do??" Gold Ingot gritted his teeth and asked.
"She didn't let me check on Wenpo's affairs for no reason!"
What the? When Jin Yuan Bao heard this, he felt even more angry, "She won't let you find out that Wenpo is missing, so you have to do this to her?" ”
"How can you ignore people who are missing?" Jade Qilin said anxiously.
Seeing the urgency on her face. The gold ingots understood her feelings a little and took a breath. Said slowly: "When did she say that she didn't care?" She just said I didn't have to look it up myself. ”
"It's not right if you don't want to check, you're the first to catch fast in the capital, who are you looking for if you don't look for you?" The jade unicorn is unforgiving.
As soon as he heard this, Jin Yuanbao suddenly became angry, "My mother didn't let me check, because she felt sorry for me and couldn't be busy, could it be that she was also wrong for being a mother's distressed son?" ”
"I ......" the jade unicorn knotted.
"You think about Mrs. Liu in everything, why don't you think about my mother. For the sake of a stable woman, don't you think it's too much for you to make such a big move? This stable woman is so important to you? ”
"Yes, this stable woman is so important to me." Jade Qilin said stubbornly: "Anyway, in your eyes, your mother can do everything right, right?" ”
Hearing this, the gold ingots replied without hesitation: "Not bad! If my mother didn't do things in a measured way, there would be no today's General's Mansion, let alone today's gold ingots. ”
Unexpectedly, he would be so determined to stand on Mrs. Jin's side now, and Yu Qilin asked with some disappointment: "If one day you know that she really did something wrong, what would you do?" ”
"You'd better stop asking me such boring questions in the future." Jin Yuan was very tired of her attitude, "I know better than you what kind of person my mother is...... I've always said good things for you in front of her! ”
"Good! You know! The jade unicorn glared, turned around and walked out of the room, and slammed the door in anger.
"This woman!" The gold ingots were angry and didn't bother to chase them.
However, until it was dark, the jade unicorn had not returned, and the gold ingots looked at the dossier in front of him but couldn't stand it.
Ah Fu on the side observed his words and asked, "Do you want the young master to go outside to see the young lady?" ”
"No, you don't." The gold ingots were vetoed in the paragraph.
"This will make the young lady cry alone." Ah Fu deliberately said pitifully.
When Jin Yuan Bao heard this, he looked sneering, "It's not her way to cry alone." But the man involuntarily stood up.
Seeing this, Ah Fu smiled slightly and said, "Is the young master going to find the young lady?" ”
"Who said that?"
"And where are you going?" Ah Fu laughed.
Seeing his hippie smiling face, Jin Yuan couldn't help but sink his face, and said coldly: "Ah Fu, if your skin is itchy, go to the steward to get the board." ”
"Yes...... Ah Fu was careful of his tongue...... "Ah Fu hurriedly made a look of fear.
The gold ingots sat down and stood up again, and the restlessness made Ah Fu laugh secretly.
At this moment, the jade unicorn walked in quickly.
Seeing this, Ah Fu hurriedly greeted him, "Young lady, it's great that you're here, the young master is about to go out to find you." ”
When the gold ingots heard this, they immediately sat down and put on a cold posture again.
The jade unicorn, who knew the gold ingots deeply, heard Ah Fu's words, and his heart was a little sweet, and he didn't know how to speak, so he just looked at him curtly.
Seeing this, Ah Fu hurriedly retreated and gently closed the door.
After a long time, the jade qilin plucked up his courage and said, "Yuanbao, I'll discuss something with you." ”
I didn't expect her to talk to herself in such a kind voice, and Jin Yuanbao's heart felt a lot more comfortable, "Okay, let's talk about it." ”
"That ......" Yu Qilin paused and said decisively: "I want to take my mother to my side." ”
What the? The gold ingots were startled, and they didn't know how to respond for a while.
Seeing the expression on the face of the gold ingot, the jade qilin asked a little strangely, "Are you not happy?" ”
"No, how can you not be happy!" Jin Yuan Bao hurriedly concealed the worry in his heart: "I should bring my mother-in-law." ”
"And when are you going?" The jade unicorn asked happily.
"I've been too busy lately, let's talk about it after a while." The gold ingots pretended to be busy packing up the dossier in their hands.
"No, I can't wait!" The jade qilin walked over quickly, pressing his hands on his file.
"It's not bad for a few days." Gold Ingot looked up at her.
"You can't go a day!" Jade Qilin said stubbornly: "You don't have time, just I'll go by myself." ”
Jin Yuan Bao hurriedly grabbed her: "You don't have to go!" ”
"Why?"
The gold ingots wanted to speak and stopped.
When the jade qilin saw his expression, he became more and more surprised: "Are you hiding something from me?" Is there something wrong with my mother? ”
"Your mother will be fine." The gold ingot blurted out.
As soon as he heard this, Yu Qilin immediately understood, and asked in shock, "What's wrong with my mother?" ”
"I mean, your mother has been here alone for so long, it will be okay to stay in Emei Mountain, don't be in such a hurry......" Jin Yuan Bao hurriedly restrained the anxiety on his face.
However, how could the jade qilin not see his concealed look, a touch of disappointment slipped under his eyes, and he didn't answer, turned around and ran out.
Jin Yuan Bao hurriedly got up, ran to her, stopped her, sighed, held her hands, and muttered, "I just sent someone to pick it up, your mother is missing." ”
"What?!" The jade unicorn is like five thunderbolts.
Jin Yuan Bao hurriedly relieved: "Don't panic, I'm already trying to find her." ”
The jade qilin slowly came back to his senses, and suddenly became angry, and roared loudly: "My mother is missing, you actually hide such a big thing from me!" How do you know it's going to be okay! Now the stable woman is gone! ”
"What does this have to do with Wen Po?" The gold ingots were at a loss.
The jade qilin asked angrily: "You haven't told me for so many days, what should I do if there is danger?" ”
"I'm not worried about you? I'm already looking for it. ”
"Find? What about people? Is there a result? ”
Gold ingots are stopped.
The jade qilin was angry, and couldn't help but be angry: "If your mother disappears, are you in a hurry?" With that, he slammed the door and went out, and the two parted unhappily. (To be continued......)
