Chapter 6 Changes

Every time it is said that in the family study of Fuli, it is said that the child passes quickly, and three days have passed in the blink of an eye.

Cao Yan gradually got used to this kind of two-point and one-line life, and only when he re-read the first grade, he memorized the articles when he should memorize them, and practiced the calligraphy when he should practice calligraphy. I don't know if it's because of mental maturity, or because this little body is smart in itself, and it's easy to remember homework.

It's noon, and it's time for lunch break. Cao Song ate a few bites of dim sum indiscriminately, and then took the food and went around Gu Na. This kid is indomitable, and he has to come to such a show every day. Cao Yan thought that the room was full of all kinds of sweet and greasy dim sum, and when he walked out of the house to breathe, he just walked a few steps when he heard someone whisper: "Uncle Man, Uncle Man!" ”

Cao Yan turned his head and saw that it was the little servant of the master's family, so he walked over.

The little guy nodded and said, "Uncle Yan, my master called you to the backyard pavilion!" ”

Cao Yan was a little surprised: "Mr. called me?" Did you call other classmates as well, or did you just call me alone? ”

The little guy hurriedly stretched out his finger: "Just call Uncle Yan, you hurry up and go with the little one, my master is still waiting!" ”

Although Cao Yan felt a little inexplicable, he wanted to make the elders wait for a long time and be disrespectful, so he went with him.

There was a gazebo in the backyard, Cao Yan saw it, and walked over, but Cao Lan was not there. Cao Yan was still wondering what was going on, his mouth and nose were suddenly covered with a wet cloth, and he lost consciousness before he could struggle.

Not far away, the little guy named Cao Yan came over, fiddling with the two coins of silver in his hand, thinking in his heart that the affairs of the rich and noble people are really strange, and even relatives can't talk about it casually. Although this Gu Sanye looks a little shabby, he is generous, and it seems that he also wants to use this uncle to fight the autumn wind in the Cao family. In the next quarter of an hour, he was stunned, wasn't the motionless villain that Gu San was carrying the same boy who had just been brought here by himself? He wanted to open his mouth and shout, but Gu San had already climbed over the wall and went out.

This little guy was so frightened that he trembled, no matter how stupid he was, he could see that Gu San had no good intentions, but he was an accomplice. He clenched his fists and decided to go back to the house immediately to pack up his things and escape.

In the school, Gu Na is still the same, unmoved by food. Cao Song was bored, and returned to his seat sadly, seeing that his brother's seat was empty, he looked around, looked at the front and back yards, and thought he was going back to the house, and complained that he was not righteous enough.

It wasn't until Cao Song's scholar cherished the ink and made the ink to clean up the snack box that Cao Song knew that his brother had not come home. Why is the good person missing, the two scholars are panicked, one goes to the inner courtyard to find Mr., and the other goes to inform Cao Fang in the front yard.

In less than a moment, Cao Ling and Cao Fang both arrived, one was covered with cold sweat, and the other was innocent. Cao Yan is Cao Yin's only son, the top of the old lady's heart, if something goes wrong, everyone can't get out of it. Several people went out together, first confirmed with the porter again and again, except for Cao Xuan's little servant who went out, no one left the house, and then carefully looked for a thorough look for the three people in the courtyard, and even looked under the bed in the bedroom in the inner courtyard, but still did not see Cao Yan's shadow.

There has been such a big change that the classes in the school cannot continue. The students were in a hurry to get out of class. Cao Fang thought about it thoroughly, where did he dare to let them go back, while asking people to hurry up and tell Cao Yin, and at the same time letting people guard the door and prevent people from all provinces from going back. Even if someone from the outside kidnaps someone, it's hard to do it without fear inside.

A quarter of an hour later, Cao Yin arrived on horseback, accompanied by his staff member Zhuang Chang and a dozen or so guards in the house.

Cao Yin heard about his son's disappearance, thinking that he was dragged down by himself, and he was afraid that the enemy would come to seek revenge. No matter what the opponent is, he can't let people take his son out of Jiangning first, thinking of this, he immediately ordered a few people who followed Cao Yan to go to school to take the courtyard to the four city gates to guard. Then, from the students to the long-term entourage and scholars who followed each other, they all inquired separately, and during this lunch break, no one was left alone, and there were people around them, so they should be able to rule out suspicion.

Zhuang Chang took people and found traces on the wall of the backyard, and it seemed that someone had climbed over the wall from there. Everyone's eyes fell on Cao Xuan, because the biggest suspect at the moment is the little girl who has not returned to Cao Xuan's family so far.

Before Cao Yin could do anything, Cao Yin was already so angry that he fainted.

Zhuang Chang was so scared that many children asked Cao Yin to release them first and let them go to their respective homes. There are those who gloat in their eyes, and those who have tears in their eyes like Cao Song, only Gu Na's expression is a little strange, his eyes are straight, and he doesn't know what to think. Zhuang Chang noticed something unusual, quietly called his subordinates, and commanded in a low voice.

Gu Nashen walked home with one foot and one shallow foot, his heart was full of remorse, no wonder the gambler's father suddenly became kind to him in the past two days, not only caring about his homework, but also asking the work and rest time in the school clearly. He endured it so that he didn't tell the truth in front of everyone. No matter how despicable and shameless that man is, he is his biological father.

From a distance, seeing a lot of people around his yard, Gu Na thought that his father's affairs were exposed, and he was afraid that his mother would be affected, so he hurriedly ran forward. But there are several neighborhoods, all of them are familiar faces, including Chen Liu, who is driving a carriage on the street, Aunt Qian at the end of the street, and a few neighbors. When everyone saw that Gu Na had arrived, they chirped.

It turned out that yesterday Gu San found Chen Liu and wanted to buy his carriage, and if he had no money, he would sell the Zhou family to him as his wife. Chen Liu is an orphan, his family is poor, all his belongings are a few dilapidated houses and a carriage, he is twenty-three or four years old, and he has never married a daughter-in-law. Although Gu San is a gambler, the virtuousness of his lady is well known to the neighbors, so Chen Liu is also willing.

Gu San said that as long as Chen Liu's carriage plus two taels of silver, he would write a document to sell his wife. Chen Liu was afraid of being deceived, so he asked the neighbor Qian Aunt, who was used to being a matchmaker, to help him see it, and he was considered a middle-aged person.

Originally, he said that he was afraid that he would not look good when he went out during the day, so he asked Chen Liu'er to marry him tonight. Chen Liu waited until noon, feeling that something was wrong, and was afraid that Gu San would run away with his family, and when the time came, he would lose both people and money, so he came to the door of Gu's house. Although he is a simple person, he also knows how to be polite, and he knows that it is inappropriate for him to come directly to the door, so he begged Aunt Qian and a few neighbors to help make peace.

Zhou is from a scholarly family, and when he heard the neighborhood lady call the door, he was about to open it, but when he saw a man mixed in, he felt that it was inappropriate, so he answered a few words with Aunt Qian through the door. Hearing that her husband had sold her, she refused to open the door and waited for her son to come back to make the decision.

Gu Na read the contract, it was indeed written by his father Gu San, and his heart was cold, he didn't expect him to be so ruthless, and he didn't care about the relationship between husband and wife.

Gu Na hugged his fists and gave a round of salute to the neighbors: "Uncles and aunts, uncles and aunts, the matter has been so far, the kid won't say much, I want everyone to disperse first, and let our mother and mother discuss it!" He went to Chen Liu again and said, "Uncle Chen, please rest assured, since my father bought your carriage, this debt will fall on the kid." The mother's surname is shy, if she is so hasty and reluctant, I am afraid that something big will happen! ”

The virtuous nature of the Zhou family is well known, and everyone thinks that Gu Na is reasonable, so they go to their respective homes. Even Chen Liu left calmly, he regretted a little in his heart, knowing that he was not worthy of the Zhou family, and he wanted to leave this family business. Now, the carriage is gone, and I only hope that the Gu family boy can pay off the debt.

Zhou was inside the courtyard gate, and repeatedly confirmed that only one son was left outside, so he opened the door and let him in.

One noon effort, Zhou's was like a frightened bird, seeing his son couldn't help it anymore, hugged him and began to cry, hearing his son mention that the wife selling document was indeed written by her husband, Zhou's eyes showed a trace of despair.

Cao Fang and others guarded the four city gates until dark, but they found nothing. On the one hand, Cao Yin sent people to look for him, and on the other hand, he sent people to the homes of various students, and explained to the parents of each family not to talk casually.

At the old lady's place, Cao Yin had to tell a lie, saying that his mother-in-law in Suzhou was sick and missed her grandson, so she sent someone to pick her up. Li couldn't hide it, so he had to tell the truth, and Li spit blood and fainted. The old lady was only a daughter-in-law because she was worried about her mother's side, and she didn't worry about her grandson going out alone, so she asked Li to prepare to go back to her parents' house, on the one hand, to wait for her mother, but also to take care of her son. Li couldn't say anything about his suffering in front of the old lady, but only knew that he cried silently.

Cao Quan and Zhao Jia's husband and wife knew the truth from their son, and they all came to the house to inquire. Because of those students, relatives and friends almost knew that the son of the weaving mansion had been kidnapped. Cao Yin was afraid that it would reach the ears of the old lady, so he sent a message not to allow the subordinates in the house to spread the word to the inner courtyard, otherwise he would be killed, so he hid the news to death.

The Li family has to wait for news from his son, where can he go back to his parents' house with peace of mind, and he can't stay in the house, for fear that he won't be able to justify himself in front of the old lady. Zhao Jia's is also a mother, so she proposed to ask her sister-in-law to live in her house first. Cao Yin was worried that his wife would show traces in the house and be observed by the old lady, so he entrusted his wife to his younger brother and daughter-in-law to take care of him.

Let's not talk about the panic of the Cao family, just say that Zhuang Chang sent someone to follow Gu Na and knew about Gu San's sale of his wife and the purchase of a carriage. Because the time is too coincidental, people have to be suspicious. After sending someone to inquire about Gu San's details, Zhuang Chang was able to conclude that Gu San might be the one who kidnapped Cao San.

The next time, the little guy who ran away in the ethnography showed traces. It turned out that after he left, he went to a distant relative outside the city. The relative knew that he had sold himself into slavery, and when he saw that he was in a hurry, he was inclined to inquire about him. That little guy is still young, so I will tell the truth in a few words. The relative was afraid of being involved, so he pretended to coax him to eat wine and food, and when he drank it, he tied him up, and called the official after dawn.

In the yamen, after a killing stick, the little guy confessed the name of the head of the family. When Jiangning mentioned the Cao family, they were the clansmen of the Weaving Mansion, and the county officials did not dare to judge at will, so they sent two officials to escort the little guy to Cao Lan to distinguish the authenticity.

By the time Cao Yin got the news and arrived at Cao Yin's house, the little guy had already truthfully explained the matter of Gu San's kidnapping of Cao Yin. Cao Yin heard that Zhuang often mentioned that Gu San sold his wife to buy a car, and he was a little puzzled, but now that he got the letter, he took someone to Gu San's house.

Zhou didn't know what was going on, and went out to the kitchen to get tea. Gu Na saw Cao Yin's face with frost on his face, asked about his father's whereabouts, and knew in his heart, and when he saw his mother go out, he said: "That person said yesterday that he sold my mother, and it is already righteous!" But I am raised by that person, the father and the son pay the debt, it is justified, please the adults will tie me up, maybe the person will get the news and know that he will be lost. I just beg the adults to spare my mother and save her some dignity. With that, he fell to his knees.

Although Cao Yin came with full of anger, he was not unreasonable, this catastrophe was indeed done by Gu San, and what did it have to do with the two of them. He himself is filial, and when he saw that Gu Na knew to protect his mother at a young age, he was very pitiful, and stretched out his hand to help him up. Cao Yin was worried about his son, thinking that "tiger poison does not eat children", or Gu San knew that his son was in Cao's mansion, and he couldn't prepare for turning back.

The Gu family has long been surrounded by walls, where there is tea, just a few cups of water. Seeing that Cao Yin's face was not good, Zhou wondered if her husband had caused some trouble again, and asked tremblingly: "My grandson is not here, I don't know what my uncle is looking for him?" ”

Cao Yin glanced at Zhou, then at Gu Na, sighed in his heart, and ordered the person next to him to go out and find Chen Liu, who was selling carriages.

Seeing that Zhou had come for this ugly thing, he was so ashamed and indignant that he didn't dare to raise his head again.
