Chapter 369: The Master's Mother Disappears

Granny Hu's clever plan may be right, from ancient times to the present, it seems to be the most commonly used means to solve most conflicts between husband and wife, the bedside quarrel and the end of the bed is certainly right, but the premise is that you have to have a bed! Maybe Granny Hu felt that Qu Xi had to do her duty as a wife obediently after that incident, but Qin Baichuan didn't think so at all, he didn't even have the guts.

Ran away from downstairs to his bedroom, although he left for a while, but Granny Hu cleaned every day, and the whole room was still bright. Qin Baichuan took off his clothes, took a hot bath, and returned to bed comfortably.

I got up very early today, experienced a hearty battle with Sister Lan in the room, saw Quxi's thrilling methods in the mansion, and spent most of the day saliva with Lu Shigao and Lu Yuanxing, and Qin Baichuan, who was tired all over, fell asleep in a drowsy state.

When I opened my eyes, it was past dinner time, and when I stood upstairs and looked from afar, the entire main city of Gangneung was brightly lit, and from time to time there was a faint sound of firecrackers reaching my ear drums. Qin Baichuan stretched his waist vigorously and walked out of the bedroom refreshed.

In his mind, it was already at this time, no matter how busy he was, Qu Xi should always return to Wanhua Xiaozhu, but there was no one in the attic, Qin Baichuan came to the courtyard all the time, only to see Hu Po pacing in the courtyard uneasily.

"Aunt Hu, Qu Xi hasn't come back yet?" Qin Baichuan looked around, but still didn't see Quxi's carriage, and Uncle Hu was nowhere to be seen, so he asked.

"Ahh Qin Xianggong, are you up? Startled by Qin Baichuan's sudden voice, Granny Hu calmed down, opened the vermilion door and looked out, and then said worriedly: "Today is Chinese New Year's Eve, and it stands to reason that Miss should have come back a long time ago." But I waited until this time, and there was still no news from the young lady. ”

Granny Hu smiled reluctantly at Qin Baichuan: "Xianggong Qin, I can't rest assured that Miss, you sleep soundly again, so I will take the initiative to let your coachman go to Splendid Villa to look for it." If there is a place to cross, you should not be angry with the old woman. ”

"Aunt Hu is serious, that monkey is my brother in life and death, but there is something to order." Qin Baichuan felt a slight chill in his heart, no matter how workaholic Qu Xi was, it was impossible not to come back at this time. Besides, when they were in the palace, they had already said that there were still many things to talk about in the Hundred Flowers Workshop in the evening.

"Auntie, when are you going to send the monkeys out?" Qin Baichuan walked to the door, and saw that it was dark outside the Wanhua Building, and there were no personnel and carriages passing by at all, he calmed down and asked with a frown.

"Before dinner." Granny Hu calculated the time: "It's been about half an hour now, the monkey is driving there, the distance from Splendid Villa to us is more than ten miles, no matter what the young lady does, he should always come back to report safety." ”

"Maybe he didn't find Qu Xi in Splendid Villa, and he went to the Hundred Flowers Workshop again, right?" Qin Baichuan tried to make a reasonable guess, pulled Granny Hu to sit down at the door, and said with a smile: "Auntie, with Uncle Hu by Quxi's side, there shouldn't be any trouble, let's wait patiently here." ”

"Hmm." Granny Hu also had no choice, and complained with a low hum: "Count on your fingers, the dead old ghost will have a sixtieth birthday in a few years, and he is good when he is young and strong, but in recent years, he is old and weak, I have mentioned to him many times, let him change the guard for the young lady, but he won't listen to anything!" When the old ghost comes back, no matter what excuses he has this time, I just don't follow it, and I have to let him, an old thing who has more than enough to do, retreat! ”

"Someone else protects Quxi, I'm afraid that Hu Bo won't be at ease." Qin Baichuan replied.

This old man and young man waited for half an hour, and even some families had already set off firecrackers for the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner, and the sound of horses' hooves running wildly came from outside the official road of Wanhua Xiaozhu, and Granny Hu was overjoyed, and ran out of the door after saying "back", but Qin Baichuan's face turned blue and slowly walked out.

There is only this official road from the foot of the mountain, and there is no doubt that the person who comes is rushing to the small building of ten thousand flowers, but the rhythm of the horse's hooves produced by the horse's galloping horse must be different when the carriage runs, and judging from the sound, the person who comes is riding a horse and not driving. With the light outside the Wanhua Building, Qin Baichuan saw a big red horse galloping like a sharp arrow, and when he was less than three meters away from Granny Hu, the knight suddenly grabbed the reins, and the horse's front hooves raised and neighed loudly, and the knight's body did not move at all, which showed that the knight was skillful.

Before the horse's front hooves landed, a thin figure was like light smoke, and his body swept over Granny Hu's head, and he stood in front of Qin Baichuan at once: "Sir......"

The knight was not an outsider, it was the monkey sent out by Granny Hu, seeing that he looked flustered, as if he had something urgent to say, Qin Baichuan gave a look, and the monkey decisively shut up. Granny Hu caught up from behind: "Mr. Hou, have you ever seen my young lady?" ”

He glanced at Qin Baichuan with an inquiring gaze, and after he raised his chin slightly, the monkey took a long breath and said with a smile: "Don't worry about Hu Po, the master mother is handling affairs in the Hundred Flowers Workshop." ”

"In the Hundred Flowers Workshop?" Qin Baichuan said such an inference before, and Granny Hu believed it, and was a little annoyed while letting go of her heart: "Miss is also really, Qin Xianggong has been back for so long, even if she has more things, she should come back to see, so today is also Chinese New Year's Eve, what can't you do tomorrow?" ”

"That's what I advise my mother...... But mother-in-law, you know, I speak lightly, and my mother can't listen to me at all. The monkey chimed in.

"How can it be!" Qin Baichuan was angry: "If you don't come back for the New Year's Eve to reunite, Quxi wants to turn the sky upside down?" Aunt Hu, you close the door and wait at home, I will go to the Baihua Workshop to arrest Qu Xi back! ”

As he spoke, Qin Baichuan hurriedly walked and turned over to get on the horse after grabbing the reins of the horse. This thing usually barely does any exercise, so how can he ride a horse? The monkey grabbed his buttocks, put him on horseback, and then rolled over: "Mother-in-law, I'll take my husband over." ”

"Oh, okay, okay, be careful." The monkey turned the horse's head and left, Granny Hu looked at the dust and sand all over the ground and felt a little strange, this Mr. Hou is a coachman, he drove when he left, why did he ride a horse when he came back?

"Monkey, where's Quxi?" Leaving Wanhua Xiaozhu far behind, he almost broke his eggs without caring about the bumpy horseback, Qin Baichuan gritted his teeth and asked. Granny Hu can see the abnormality, how could Qin Baichuan not think of it? The reason why he said a few words of nonsense at the door was because Qin Baichuan realized that the situation didn't seem to be good, and he didn't want Granny Hu to be frightened.

"Sir, something is wrong." While galloping on his horse, the monkey pressed Qin Baichuan's ear and said, "The master mother is missing!" ”

"Be specific!" The bad premonition in his heart became a reality, and Qin Baichuan's head buzzed.

"Later in the evening, I went to the Splendid Villa according to Granny Hu's instructions, and was told that after returning from the Jiangling Mansion, the housewife returned to the villa and gathered a group of people, and told the Hundred Flowers Workshop that it had completely belonged to the Splendid Villa, and then sent these people to the Hundred Flowers Workshop."

Qin Baichuan was irritable, but he could still make a judgment, it was Qu Xi's secret plan to encroach on the Hundred Flowers Workshop, and now the goal was achieved, although Cheng Yangtian left everyone behind, but Qu Xi would inevitably use his own manpower, so it was very reasonable to go back to Fairview Villa first.

"I then rushed to the Hundred Flowers Workshop, it is said that the master mother took people over to the resistance of the people in the workshop, but the master mother had Uncle Hu by her side, and the salary was raised by three percent, those family members, hired workers no longer complained, the master mother made some arrangements in the Hundred Flowers Workshop, and when the sun and shadow set west, another reward was issued, and then followed Hu Bo away." The monkey said again.

"Where did you go after leaving?" Qin Baichuan didn't care about any of this, those people in the Hundred Flowers Workshop were originally recruited by the Cheng family, but now Cheng Yangtian is out, and even Sun Dahai has rebelled, not to mention those workers? It's just a little more silver to soothe their emotions.

"Nowhere to be found!" The monkey said again: "According to the time said by those hired men, the master mother should have arrived at Wanhua Xiaozhu a long time ago!" On the way there, I had already paid more attention, but I didn't see the mother's carriage, and I thought that the mother had not returned, so I rushed to the study teahouse to ask the fucking shopkeeper, and he also said that he didn't see the mother. We both realized that something was wrong, and the fucking shopkeeper gathered his men to search for it, and borrowed a horse from me to rush back to report the news. ”

"The fucking shopkeeper sent out someone?" Qin Baichuan narrowed his eyes.

"Yes." The monkey knew what Qin Baichuan was thinking, and said: "That fucking shopkeeper did lie to us a lot last time, but after getting the news this time, he didn't delay at all, judging from his deployment, he didn't get the order of the master mother in advance." I asked the shopkeeper again and again, and he told me that except for the study teahouse, the housemother has no power in Jiangling, and if there is no one in the Splendid Villa, Baihua Workshop, and Wanhua Xiaozhu, the only place where the housewife can go is the Qu family's old house! ”

"The old mansion of the Qu family." Qin Baichuan swallowed his saliva, Splendid Villa was founded by Qu Xi's father, the internal struggle of the Qu family has been fierce over the years, and the fourth master of Qu hates to kill Qu Xi and then quickly, and it seems impossible for Qu Xi to pass for no reason. However, today is the end of the year, and it is not ruled out that Qu Xi will go to worship his parents...... But even if you go to the Qu family's old house, you should always come back at this time, right?

"Sir, where are we going, the road ahead is forked?" The monkey slowed down slowly.

Qin Baichuan's heart was churning, Qu Xi's disappearance was strange everywhere, although the monkey in the Qu family's old house did not investigate, but Qin Baichuan felt that it was unlikely that Qu Xi would be found there. If Qu Xi can't be found in these places, then I'm afraid that there will be the worst possibility left - Qu Xi played such a hand with the Cheng family and the Xiao family, how could the two families not hold a grudge?

"Monkeys, go your separate ways." Qin Baichuan forced himself to calm down, Qu Xi was protected by Uncle Hu, and even if the Cheng Xiao family made a move, it would not be easy to succeed. Qin Baichuan also believes that the snake group must have its own contact information, so if you want to find Quxi, you must start with the snake group first.

The monkey took the horses, and Qin Baichuan ordered in turn: "You go to Wangjiang Tower to find Yuanyuan first, and ask her to send some people to visit a large area, and if you can, let Yuanyuan go and inform the second girl of the bloody guard." ”

At present, finding Qu Xi is the key, and it doesn't matter if it will let people know her relationship with herself: "After letting Yuanyuan help, you take Wufu, Wuyin, Wang Shenwu and others to the Qu family's old mansion to find the fucking shopkeeper to understand the situation." Qu Xi has something to do, but I suspect that there are ghosts here, so I must act quickly, and if there is any news, I will find me in the Hundred Flowers Workshop as soon as possible. ”

"Sir, are you going to the Hundred Flowers Workshop?" The monkey shook his head: "If someone is a ghost, it must be Cheng and Xiao, the situation of the Hundred Flowers Workshop is unknown, wouldn't you be a sheep in the mouth of a tiger in the past?" ”

"Sheep in the mouth of a tiger?" Qin Baichuan sneered: "If it's really the two of them, I want to see who is the sheep!" ”

Qin Baichuan ignored the monkey's dissuasion, and after pushing him off the horse's back, he clamped the horse's belly between his legs, and the horse was in pain, so he jumped forward suddenly, almost throwing Qin Baichuan off the horse.

Fortunately, although Qin Baichuan has never learned riding, he also raised donkeys and horses when he was a child in the countryside, and he grabbed the saddle to adjust his body, and his whole body was almost lying on the horse's back, holding the horse's neck with both hands, and rushed towards the Baihua Workshop in a very indecent posture.

The monkey gritted his teeth hard, it was difficult to change what Mr. had decided, so what he had to do now was to hurry, rush to Wangjiang Tower as soon as possible, find Liu Yuanyuan as soon as possible, and then go back to Mr. as quickly as possible! At this thought, the monkey tightened his robe, and his thin body rose into the air and shot away.
