Chapter 60: People whisper softly
Su Wan happened to be passing by, so she listened to a few words.
The cook and a few maids were startled, and when they saw that it was the young grandmother, they quietly breathed a sigh of relief.
The young grandmother has a good temper, which is something that everyone in the family knows.
"It's Ashina." The kitchen raised her head and said with some complaints, "This girl, I asked her to make a pot of rice wine, and I haven't seen her until now." I don't know where she's running to be lazy. The cook relied on the fact that she was the old man in the family, so she complained a few more words, "Young grandma, I didn't say that you were too good to that girl." So much so that she is now more and more unruly. ”
A few maids next to the cook just lowered their heads, because they didn't have the seniority of the cook, so although everyone agreed with the cook's statement, they didn't dare to say it.
"Young grandma, when this girl first arrived at the Ye family, she was very diligent. It's just that in the past few days, I've become more and more lazy. You'll have to talk about her. The more the cook talked, the more she seemed to want to find out all the faults of Ah Xi, "I have to let this girl understand what the difference between master and servant is, and what kind of person should do what kind of thing." You say that she is a maid, and she is holding the shelf as the master every day. ”
"Aunt Fu." Su Wan interrupted the cook's words loudly, "I know that Ah Xi, the girl here is dissatisfied with you in some places. She's the one I brought back, though. Isn't there something I should do about that? ”
When Aunt Fu heard this, she heard clearly what she meant to protect the calf and protect the girl, and she couldn't help but pull her face and be a little displeased, "Yes." You're a young grandmother, and you're right. What am I? I'm just a cook, so what's the point! ”
"Aunt Fu, you know I didn't mean that." Su Wan saw that Aunt Fu had misunderstood the meaning of her words, and couldn't help but be a little anxious, "Aunt Fu, you are older than me at home. In terms of seniority, you are an elder. It's just that Axi, this girl has experienced ups and downs since she was a child, and I pity her, so it is inevitable that I have some preference for her. If there is anything she does not go right, please Aunt Fu can see my face, so don't be angry with Ah Xi. After all, she was still a child at her age. ”
Aunt Fu looked at Su Wan, and the pheasant's face was full of sincerity. Aunt Fu couldn't help but sigh.
Ashina is a child, but the young grandmother in front of her is not a child.
"That's it. Young grandmother, you said so, my old fortune can't be angry with a child, right? Aunt Fu waved her hand, letting all the unpleasantness dissipate with the wind, "I just spoke a little straight, and I hope that young grandma, don't take it to heart." ”
"What Aunt Fu said. You're saying it's for our own good, and we'd love to hear it. Su Wan smiled, and Aunt Fu was happy when she heard it.
"By the way, Aunt Fu, hasn't Ah Xi come back yet?" Su Wan frowned slightly, remembering what she had just heard.
"I don't know if I'm back or not, I haven't seen her." Aunt Fu shook her head, turned her head and asked a few maids on the side, "Have you seen Axi?" ”
"Nope." Several maids shook their heads.
"Could something happen?" A maid said cautiously.
This statement lifted everyone's hearts. Even Aunt Fu couldn't help but be stunned.
Oh, yes. She patronized and thought that the girl would be lazy, but she didn't think about the side where the accident happened. If something really happened, then her sin would be great.
"Young grandma, let's go look for it." Aunt Fu spoke.
"Hmm. I'll go with you. Su Wan's heart also mentioned her throat.
Ahi, don't let anything happen to you.
"How?" Aunt Fu asked a maid who came in a hurry.
"Nope. I looked for it in the room, but there was no figure of Ah Xi. The bedding on the bed was neat, and it didn't look like it had come back. The maid gasped.
"What about you?" Aunt Fu looked at the maid who was running in the other direction.
"Nope." The maid shook her head, "The yard has been searched, and I have also gone to the kitchen, and there is no Axi." ”
"It's so late, where will Ah Xi go?" Su Wan listened to the maids' words and couldn't help but be even more worried.
"Young grandma, don't worry, the Axiji people have their own natural appearance, and they will definitely be fine." The little maids hurriedly reassured.
"Yes, young grandmother, don't worry, we'll look for it again. Maybe Axi is playful, and it's not impossible that she fell asleep somewhere. ”
"yes, yes."
"Aunt Fu, where is our rice wine made?" Su Wan looked at Aunt Fu and waited for an answer.
"Hengyun Restaurant on the street." Aunt Fu replied. "Where's that girl?!"
Su Wan shook her head, "I shouldn't have been there for so long." But it's always a clue, let's go to the restaurant now. ”
"yes, okay." Aunt Fu nodded in response.
"I'm going to call Ah Si to prepare the carriage." A maid said.
"Let's go together. Just go out the back door and save time. Su Wan called the maid and said.
"yes, okay." Aunt Fu agreed.
The group marched mightily towards the stables.
"Ah Si, Ah Si."
"Ah Si!"
"Huh? Who is it! ”
Ah Si, who was about to undress and go to bed, heard the movement, buttoned up and walked out.
"Young grandmother, Fu Niang, why are you here?" Ah Si looked at the group of girls and Aunt Fu who suddenly broke into his stable in the middle of the night, and couldn't help but be a little stunned.
"Ah Si, hurry up and prepare the carriage." A maid said.
"Is something wrong?" Ah Si was puzzled. How do you prepare a carriage in the middle of the night, where is this going?
"Ah Xi is gone, we have to go to Hengyun Restaurant to look for it, hurry up Ah Si." Aunt Fu quickly explained.
"What?! Ah Xi is gone! Ah Si was startled and couldn't help but freeze in place.
"yes, yes. What else are you rubbing? Don't hurry up and get the carriage ready. The other maid said impatiently. Why is there so many questions about this Ah Si. It's all said that Ah Xi is gone, and there are so many questions.
"Oh, I'll go." Ah Si hurriedly ran into the stable, led the brown horse out, and quickly put the horse and the cart in place.
"Young grandma is fine."
"Let's go." Su Wan got into the carriage, and Aunt Fu and a few maids also got into the carriage one after another.
Ah Si jumped into the carriage and drove the carriage to the back door with a whip. He jumped out of the carriage and quickly opened the lock before leading the carriage out, and then locked the back door from the outside with the lock. He jumped into the carriage and rushed to Hengyun Restaurant.
Along the way, there was no one moving for a long time. The whole market was quiet, and Ah Si drove the carriage through quickly, and couldn't help but make a lot of noise. It wasn't until the door of Hengyun Restaurant that Ah Si hurriedly restrained the fast horse.
"Young grandma, it's here."
When Su Wan heard this, she quickly opened the curtain and got out of the carriage, and Aunt Fu and the others also got out of the carriage.
Looking at the closed door, there are only two red lanterns hanging in the doorway for illumination.
Ah Si quickly stepped forward and called the door, "Is there anyone?" Open the door! Open the door! ”
"It's coming, it's coming! Who is it so late! The lad, who was sleeping soundly, was awakened by the knock at the door, and was instantly displeased, and came with his clothes draped in a very unhappy tone. As soon as the door opened, I saw a crowd of people standing at the door.
The guy squinted, "How many are the sharps?" ”
"What a point! We're here to find someone! Ah Si poked his head out and hurriedly looked inside.
"Oops. Who you are, what you see. When the guy saw that it was not sharp, he looked inside, and he woke up in an instant, and hurriedly stopped Ah Si, who was going inside.
"What the hell are you doing?" The guy is up in momentum, and he's a little tough.
Su Wan grabbed Ah Si and stepped forward, "I'm sorry little brother." We're just here for someone. I don't know if there is a fourteen or fifteen-year-old girl who comes to you to drink rice wine during the day? ”
"There are more girls who come to us to make rice wine, who knows which one you are talking about. Hurry up and leave if you're okay! Didn't disturb my sleep. The guy was sleepy, so he was naturally in no mood to talk nonsense with Su Wan and them, so he directly issued an eviction order and pushed Su Wan and them out of the door.
"Hey, why are you so rude." Ah Sihu looked at the arrogant guy in front of Su Wan, and couldn't help but want to beat people.
"I'm like this, how do you want to drop!" The guy also lost his temper and pushed Ah Si out directly.
"Ah Four." Su Wan hurriedly held Ah Si, who was about to fall.
"How are you? Did you stumble somewhere? Su Wan asked with concern.
"Young grandma, I'm fine." Ah Si shook his head and stood up, "Okay, you kid has a kind." As soon as Ah Si wanted to rush up, he was stopped by Su Wan and Aunt Fu.
"Ah Si, don't be impulsive, don't forget what we're here for!" Aunt Fu cheered to stop.
Ah Si suddenly came to his senses, looked at the arrogant guy in front of him, and snorted angrily.
"What's the matter? Such a big move. ”
The shopkeeper who heard the movement rushed over.
"The shopkeeper, there is another group of troublemakers." The guy looked at the shopkeeper who came behind him, and directly defined Su Wan and them as 'troublemakers'.
"Hi. What kind of day is it today, why are there people making trouble during the day, and there are still people here who don't sleep and come to make trouble at night. When the shopkeeper heard that it was a troublemaker, he couldn't help but be angry. He'd lost enough during the day.
"Who! Let me see who it is! The shopkeeper rolled up his sleeves and was very angry.
"Shopkeeper's. You misunderstood, we're not here to make trouble. Su Wan stepped forward, looked at the shopkeeper who came out, and quickly explained, "We are here to find a girl, fourteen or fifteen years old, wearing an orange dress and holding a wine vat to make rice wine. I don't know if the shopkeeper has an impression. ”
The shopkeeper's brows furrowed, but he remembered something, and deliberately looked at the shopkeeper in front of him with eyes.
When Ah Si heard this, he was also relieved, "Say! Where did you hide Axi?! ”
"Wronged!" The shopkeeper almost cried, "I have an impression of the girl you are talking about." He Ke has already left with the young master of your Ye family! The shopkeeper said helplessly. The intuitive ones are unlucky today.
