PS. Present today's update, by the way, pull a vote for the "starting point" 515 fan festival, everyone has 8 votes, and the vote will also give the starting point coin, kneel and beg everyone to support and appreciate!
Ma Jiu didn't explain the words, only said that Shen Mingwen was scuffling with a woman, what was the origin of the woman, whether the two knew each other, why they were scuffling, Ma Jiu didn't explain it very clearly, or he didn't know it at all. Fortunately, the brothers of the Che Ma Gang watched, Shen Mingwen didn't want to run away again, and Shen Xi made up his mind that even if he was kidnapped, he would be tied back to Ninghua.
Shen Xi and Yin Wen briefly confessed, Xiao Nizi blinked, a little bit didn't understand the world of adults, and nodded as if she didn't understand, with a little reluctance in her eyes.
Ma Jiu led Shen Xi all the way to a civilian gathering area by the Jin'an River, and more than 40 brothers came over with the chariot and horse gang, blocking the intersection of the alley.
Shen Mingwen sat on the ground in embarrassment, glaring at a woman who was being pulled by a neighbor across from him.
The woman looked to be in her thirties, dressed and looked very ordinary, and scolded Shen Mingwen with her hands, scolding Shen Mingwen's ancestors for eighteen generations, gritting her teeth, as if she had some deep hatred.
Shen Mingtang was beside him to persuade Shen Mingwen, but Shen Mingwen didn't seem to listen at all.
As soon as Ma Jiu and Shen Xi came, the brothers of the Che Ma Gang hurriedly got out of the way, and the woman was even more arrogant when she saw Ma Jiu, and she was about to go over to tear Shen Mingwen, and the two Che Ma Gang brothers hurriedly stopped the woman, the woman was not like a good family, even if she was stopped by two men, she still scolded and pulled, which seemed incompatible with this era when men and women were not close to each other.
"Uncle, what's going on?" The surroundings were too chaotic, Shen Xi could only run in front of Shen Mingwen, and only after making sure that Shen Mingwen was not missing an arm or a broken leg, did he ask.
Shen Mingwen was furious: "That thief woman, you have harmed your second uncle, killed people to pay for your life, and repaid your debts, why don't you hurry up and report to the official!" ”
This is confusing, but you can ponder it carefully. Shen Xi probably understood what he meant.
Shen Mingyou accompanied Shen Mingtang into the provincial capital to take the exam three years ago, and it was likely that he got mixed up with this woman, and in the end, for some reason, Shen Mingwen went to Tingzhou Mansion to find Shen Mingjun's family. And Shen Mingyou lived a small life with this woman in the provincial capital, this time Shen Mingwen found the whereabouts of the woman, but learned that Shen Mingyou was no longer there, so he suspected that the other party had harmed people's lives.
The woman scolded: "The one who killed a thousand knives, the old lady knows where he went?" Said to go north to do business. As soon as he went, he didn't come back, and the old lady still counted on him to feed, but he had been gone for three years, and he didn't even bring a fart back. ”
This woman is not only spicy, but also very thick-skinned, and in front of the neighbors, she does not hide the fact that she raises a man at home.
Shen Xi knew that Shen Mingwen and Shen Ming had the situation three years ago. It's strange if you can know any good woman, it's nothing more than a woman in the private prostitution hall, and it is likely that this woman is the one he went to find with 200 yuan a few days ago.
Ma Jiu asked: "Little shopkeeper, do you want to report to the official?" ”
Shen Xi frowned and said, "What kind of official to report, first help get people back." Inquire carefully about the detailed situation, find someone to watch my uncle, don't let him run again...... Lost. ”
Ma Jiu said: "Understood." ”
Then Ma Jiuyi beckoned, and immediately a brother from the carriage and horse gang came over to set up Shen Mingwen, almost throwing him into the carriage. Transporting people back to the inn.
Shen Mingwen was picked up, struggling and scolding, he is a scholar, but this place is no different from the shrew in the market. No wonder he scuffled with a woman who came out of a private prostitution hall. If Shen Mingwen is reincarnated as a daughter, it will definitely be a "fighting chicken" among shrews.
Shen Xi stayed first, he wanted to inquire about things clearly, especially Shen Mingyou's life and death.
The woman was really difficult, and her mouth kept scolding, and Shen Xi couldn't hear any news from her. Fortunately, I heard some useful information from the neighbors.
This woman's surname is Yu, her husband's surname is He, she moved to Fuzhou City from a distant place to live, but her husband died in the first few years, and a woman couldn't live, so she went to a private prostitution hall as a prostitute.
But the neighbors knew that three years ago, this woman did raise a man at home, which was very similar to the portrait of Shen Mingyou painted by Shen Xi, but then less than two months, the person left, and no one knew where she went.
“…… You don't know, the daughter-in-law of the He family was beautiful during that time, and when she came out, she told people that she wanted to remarry the master, but at the end of the year, the family was replaced by another man, and she was shameless. ”
When the neighbors talked about He Yu's, their expressions were full of contempt, even if a woman without a husband couldn't live, it was a very cheap thing to go out and sell her body, and it was shameful for the world.
Shen Xi probably knew what was going on, and brought someone to the door of He Yu's house, but Shen Xi still wanted to ask Shen Mingyou's whereabouts.
Now that Shen Mingyou has been missing for three years, there is no news, and he was with this woman before he completely disappeared, and she couldn't know nothing.
Shen Xi said: "Mrs. He, Ming people don't say dark words, three years ago I was with you in the second uncle, he has a wife and children at home, now he has no news, the family is really anxious, we don't care what you did before, as long as you tell him his whereabouts, we will not treat you badly." ”
He Yushi shouted: "The old lady herself is still looking for him? Tell me that I came to catch the exam, and said that I would definitely be able to get into the exam, but it turned out to be a fart, the old lady was deceived by him so badly, and then he followed the people in the north to do business, and he didn't leave a penny for the old lady, where did the old lady know where he went? ”
Shen Xi listened to He Yu's tone, it didn't look like he was sincerely deceiving, but this kind of woman's words were not credible, or did Shen Ming know that Shen Mingwen would come to Fuzhou to take the exam during this time, so he deliberately hid?
Shen Xi said: "Those businessmen in the north, how much does Mrs. He know?" ”
He Yushi said angrily: "The old lady didn't see any people from the north at all, he said it himself, and he said that he was doing business with the people in the palace over there. Bah, he doesn't pee and take pictures, he has that rich appearance, can he know the nobles in the palace? The old lady was taken advantage of by him for a few months, and let the old lady raise him, but he wiped his mouth and ran away, the old lady was really blind! ”
He Yu's clan is simply messing around, Shen Xi knows that he can't find any results when he asks, and now he knows that it has something to do with the merchants in the north, and as for doing business with the palace. Shen Xi wouldn't believe it at all.
Shen Xi threw a penny of silver to He Yu's family as "spiritual compensation", and turned around and took Ma Jiu back to the Chamber of Commerce, after seeing the shopkeeper Long. Please ask him to help me inquire about the merchants in the north three years ago.
As soon as he rushed back to the inn, he heard Shen Mingwen's voice coming from upstairs: "...... It's me who hurt the second child, it's me who hurt the second child! I'm sorry for him! If I had stopped him from finding this wicked woman, he wouldn't have been harmed! ”
Shen Xi went upstairs and entered the room, and said with a dark face: "Uncle's words." Shouldn't I go back and make it clear to my grandmother? ”
Shen Mingwen still looked like a dead old lady just now, and when he heard this, he immediately glared at Shen Xi angrily: "Little son, what do you mean by this?" ”
Shen Xi said coldly: "What can I mean?" Three years ago, the second uncle disappeared, and you said that it had nothing to do with you, but the grandmother thought that it was your brothers who killed each other, and now the second uncle is nowhere to be found, and it is reported to the government, I am afraid that the uncle and the woman will not be able to escape the relationship, and then let the grandmother know that you and the second uncle...... actually had an affair with that kind of woman, and the Shen family still wants to gain a foothold in Ninghua in the future? ”
Shen Mingwen's face was blue and red. Finally, he cleared his throat and changed his tone to a serious tone: "Qilang, you see that we are all a family, the Shen family has no face, won't you have no face in the future?" Otherwise, let's ignore this matter, anyway, your second uncle has been gone for three years, and we don't know where he went, so let's just act as if nothing happened. Let's go home and don't tell your grandmother, how about a quiet ear? ”
Shen Xi looked at Shen Mingtang next to him, even if he didn't say it himself. Shen Mingtang will definitely confess to the Li family honestly, in the past, it could be thought that Shen Mingyou wanted to make a name for himself outside, but now he knows that Shen Mingyou was driven out of the house by prostitutes penniless, and his whereabouts are unknown.
With the chaos of Fuzhou's territory before, a man who was greedy and lazy and did not do his job. I don't even have the capital, how can I go out and do business?
Either they were sold, or they were killed!
Shen Xi said: "There is no impermeable wall in this world, even if I pretend not to know, my grandmother will definitely know in the end." Now we have to wait for the dragon shopkeeper to inquire about the news clearly, it is best for the uncle not to come out of the room in the past two days, if the uncle wants to say goodbye again, it is most likely that he is a thief and wants to abscond in fear of crime. ”
Shen Mingwen said angrily: "This is the tone in which you speak to your elders? ”
Shen Xili ignored him, pulled Shen Mingtang out of the door, closed the door directly, locked it from the outside, and explained to the two brothers who came over together, Shen Mingwen was guarded in two shifts a day, and he must not be allowed to do anything out of the ordinary.
Shen Mingtang hurriedly said: "Qilang, your grandmother asked us to go back to Ninghua earlier, but your second uncle ...... What should we do? ”
Shen Xi said: "The third uncle doesn't need to worry, I think the second uncle is just following people to do business, since he didn't come back to find the woman, most of them are stranded in the north." Now the Tingzhou Chamber of Commerce has contacts in many places in the north and south of the river, let them help inquire, maybe there will be news soon. ”
Shen Mingtang was at a loss for a while, at a loss: "That...... Then wait, I'm afraid that your uncle will ...... again Gone again, no, I'm going to stay and watch him for a few days. ”
Shen Xi was afraid that Shen Mingtang's ears would be soft, and if Shen Mingwen shouted a few words, or if he was moved by affection, he would accompany Shen Mingwen to go out to find someone, but he was escaped by Shen Mingwen halfway.
Shen Xi Haosheng explained to Shen Mingtang, and then went back to the room, he was busy all afternoon, and when he came back, Yin Wen was sitting on the side of the desk, heard the voice, and looked at him with stunned eyes.
"Xiaowen, haven't left yet?"
Shen Xi was originally worried about a bunch of things, but after seeing Yin Wen, his mood relaxed inexplicably.
Yin Wen is like a haven in this troubled world, as long as he is with her, no matter how big the wind and waves are, it is a matter of the outside world, and he can hide in this small harbor with peace of mind.
"Grandma hasn't come yet." Xiao Nizi replied in a childish voice
Shen Xi sat down and looked at what Yin Wen was doing, it turned out that she was idle and was writing with a brush. Shen Xi picked up the paper and looked at the words she had written on it...... It's all her own name, one is "Xiaoya", the other is "Xiaowen", every stroke is written very neatly, it seems that Xiao Nizi still puts a lot of effort into it on weekdays.
