Chapter 100: Find Someone to Find the Nunnery
Jiang Jinyu refused to go with him again, and Lin Shaoxuan couldn't help but feel very bitter.
Yesterday you said you wanted to be together......
Lin Shaoxuan had no choice, and it was not good to plead in front of a few subordinates, so he had to take Caiqing Chen Hao to do errands by himself, and the others asked Jinyu to take them together. The two masters had an awkward quarrel and broke up two pairs of good friends.
Before coming, Yuan Xinya told her that her home was in the jade street in Yangzhou City, and her father, Yuan Shifan, had opened a jade shop on the jade street, and the business was doing very well, but he accidentally entered a batch of fake jade materials, which ruined his reputation, and his father couldn't afford to be sick.
"I'm afraid that they have already sold the house and moved elsewhere, so I beg my brother to help me search carefully, and I must find my father!" Ya'er's pleading words were still in his ears, and Lin Shaoxuan knew that it would not be smooth sailing to find someone this time, and it would be good if Jinyu didn't follow.
Seeing them off, Lin Shaoxuan took Cai Qing and Chen Hao and walked slowly to Jade Street.
The jade street is full of jade shops, the jade carvings in Yangzhou are very famous, and merchants from all walks of life also love to come here to buy goods, which can be said to be a profitable business, so the street is very lively. Lin Shaoxuan walked into the street according to Xinya's description, looked at both sides of the road, and sure enough, he saw two tall ginkgo trees not far in front, and two stone lions stood under the trees.
Alas, you see that they even sold their daughters, how can they keep such a big house? Lin Shaoxuan had no hope of finding someone.
"Who are you looking for?" Menzi saw that the three of them were standing in front of the door and lingered, and they didn't look like bad people, so they politely stepped forward to ask.
"Let me ask you, does Mr. Yuan Shifan live here?" When Lin Shaoxuan saw people coming to ask, he had to come forward to inquire.
"Childe is here to find my master?" Menzi glanced at him, and saw that he was just a young man in his twenties, not like a friend of the master, and couldn't help but be very puzzled.
"Oh, I'm a friend of your Miss Xinya, and I came to visit Yangzhou this time, and I was entrusted by her to visit." Lin Shaoxuan was also very puzzled, looking at what this means, Ya'er's house didn't move?
"It turned out to be Miss Ya's friend, Childe, please come in." Menzi opened the door and invited the three of them in, "It's just that my master passed away two years ago, doesn't Miss Ya know yet?" ”
Seeing that he said that Mr. Yuan had passed away, Lin Shaoxuan's doubts in his heart did not decrease but increased, and he simply did not go in to visit the master, but only sat in the concierge and talked to the old man.
"Old housekeeper, Miss Ya has moved to Hangzhou to live for many years, she is a woman who is inconvenient to walk, and she doesn't know the news of the old gentleman's death. Can you tell me what happened at home after Miss Ya left? ”
Seeing that Menzi was a little embarrassed, Lin Shaoxuan hurriedly took out a piece of silver and handed it over: "Be careful, the housekeeper will take it and drink tea." ”
It's been a long time since I've seen such a big piece of silver, so I quickly took it and put it in my sleeve pocket.
"When the old man was seriously ill, the young master was young, and no one took care of the affairs of the family, a group of creditors came to force debts all day long, and the master was angry with them to death, and they still came to rob the shop and the house, and the Yuan family almost died!"
"Fortunately, it didn't take long for the second master to come back, and it was he who sold a few of his family heirlooms to help pay off the debt, and reopened the store, so this family was saved."
What, second master? What a coincidence that he had returned. Lin Shaoxuan is a complete conspiracy theorist, and when he heard this, he felt that it was wrong.
"This family is now headed by the second master?" He had doubts in his heart, but his face did not show it at all.
"Yes, the second master is also a big expert in the jade shop, he went out to travel alone at a young age, and he only came back two years ago, and as soon as he came back, he saved my Yuan family from fire and water!" Menzi mentioned the second master, even if the real person was not in front of him, he looked very respectful, and his mouth was full of admiration.
"Oh, I don't know where your wife is now, Miss Ya's biological mother is in good health?" Lin Shaoxuan frowned secretly, he didn't want to worry about other people's affairs, he just wanted to ask Xinya's biological mother and little sister.
At the mention of Mrs., Menzi's face was a little embarrassed, but thinking about the piece of silver that the son had just given, he still said it: "My wife has remarried the second master last year, and Aunt Liu has moved to the Shuiyue Nunnery outside the city with her little lady for more than a year. ”
Oops, what a basin of dog blood! Lin Shaoxuan doesn't have to think about it anymore, what kind of business is lost, maybe it's a game. I haven't seen anyone whose business has fallen so bad that they need to sell their daughter for twenty taels of silver, and they can reorganize their family business by selling a family heirloom.
Come on, don't worry about it, I don't have to enter the Yuan family, just go to Shuiyue Nunnery to find Xinya's biological mother and little sister.
"Thank you, old housekeeper, since Mr. Yuan has passed away, it is inconvenient for us to go in and disturb, so we will leave." Lin Shaoxuan stood up and said hello and went out.
"Let's go, go to the Suigetsu Temple outside the city." Lin Shaoxuan walked out of the gate of Yuan's house with Caiqing Chen Hao, casually found a passer-by to ask the direction of Qingshui Yue'an, hired a carriage and rushed to Shuiyue Nunnery outside the south gate.
"Brother Chen, can your body bear it?" Lin Shaoxuan called Chen Hao into the carriage and sat together, and at this time he remembered that he cared about other people's bodies.
"It's okay, minor injury, just sleep for one night." Chen Hao is very embarrassed, he has followed the mountains and rivers all the way, and finally there is a place where they can be used, but he can't beat others, it's really embarrassing.
"Childe knows that big man? That guy has really great strength, I'm afraid it won't be even more powerful than the head of the forbidden army in the capital. Chen Hao's skills are not as good as others, so he has to blindly praise his opponent so that he is not so incompetent.
"Hey, it's really unlucky, don't you know......" Lin Shaoxuan was idle, and he told him about the process of befriending the big man.
"Oh, it's a drunkard! I said how could he be so easy to get away. Chen Hao finally understood the cause and effect, and suddenly remembered something, "Childe, what kind of good wine are you, worthy of this person chasing him to the capital and then to Yangzhou?" ”
"Haha, Brother Chen is also good at drinking? This is easy to do, go to my house first when you go back to Hangzhou, and I will let you drink enough. ”
"Then you're welcome!" Hearing Lin Shaoxuan's invitation, Chen Hao immediately agreed. To be honest, he admires Lin Shaoxuan very much. Although this person is just a businessman, he is never greedy for small profits, he is righteous to his friends, and he is also very kind to his subordinates, which is very suitable for Chen Hao's temperament.
"Second master, we're here." The two were gossiping, and Cai Qing raised the curtain outside.
"Okay, you wait here, I'll call the door." Lin Shaoxuan got out of the car and saw that it was a small broken nunnery, the courtyard door was closed, there was no incense, and the house in the courtyard looked like it was in disrepair.
After slamming the door for a long time, Lin Shaoxuan's hand hurt a little, and an old nun opened the door of the nunnery.
"Who are you looking for?" When the old nun saw that it was a young man, she did not let him in, but opened a crack in the door to talk to him.
"Mrs. Shi, I am a relative of the Yuan family on Jade Street, and I have come to visit Mrs. Liu." Lin Shaoxuan smashed the door with the silver, and handed a piece of silver to people outside the house.
"Donor, please wait, poor nun will report to you." The old nun was about to close the door if she didn't accept the money, so Lin Shaoxuan hurriedly added: "You tell her that I am Xinya's friend." ”
This old nun is quite high-minded, but isn't your voice as a donor exposed, how can I become a donor if I don't give?
Lin Shaoxuan secretly complained a few words in his heart, and the dilapidated door of the nunnery was opened for him again. In addition to the old nun who came out this time, there was also a woman in her thirties. Although the woman was not shaved, she was also dressed in a silk garment, and wore a cloth hat on her head to cover the green silk, and she was dressed as a house.
"Dare to ask this son, but there is news of my family's Ya'er?" When the woman saw him waiting outside the door, she hurried out and saluted, but before she had finished the salute, she opened her mouth to inquire.
"Hello Mrs. Liu, I am Ya'er's sworn brother, I came to Yangzhou this time to do business, and I was entrusted by her to visit you." Lin Shaoxuan saw Ya'er's mother coming, and hurriedly stepped forward to salute.
"Childe, please come in, let's talk inside." When Aunt Liu saw that he really had Xinya's news, she was so excited that her eyes were in tears, and she hurriedly invited him in.
Seeing that they really knew each other, Lao Ni also opened the door and let him and Chen Hao in, and Cai Qing stayed in the car to wait for them.
"Childe, I don't know where Ya'er is now, how are she doing?" Aunt Liu invited him to a simple side room, and she didn't have time to serve tea and entertain her, so she hurriedly inquired about her daughter's news first.
"Ya'er is living a good life now, but she keeps remembering you two elders, and it's inconvenient for her to come by herself."
Lin Shaoxuan spoke, took a good look at the room, and saw that the furnishings in the house were simple, only some old tables and chairs, and Aunt Liu's clothes and ornaments were also extremely simple, which showed that she was extremely poor here.
"My miserable Ya'er!" Aunt Liu heard him say that her daughter was doing well, so she hurriedly recited Amitabha, and her tears couldn't stop falling.
"Madame, don't cry, Ya'er is now married to a nobleman in Beijing, and has partnered with me to open a small shop, and her life is very comfortable. Madame might as well go with me to Hangzhou to reunite with her, it would be better than suffering here. Lin Shaoxuan saw that she couldn't stop crying, and it was difficult to go up to comfort her, so he had to say something to make her happy.
Listening to him slowly talk about what happened to her daughter in the past few years, Aunt Liu gradually stopped crying, she took out a piece of Supa, wiped away her tears, stood up and saluted Lin Shaoxuan again.
"Thank you Gongzi for saving my Ya'er out of the fire pit and helping her achieve such a good marriage. It's just that I've lived in a nunnery for the past few years, and I've lived a very clean life every day, and I don't want to go into the red dust anymore. ”
Aunt Liu calmed down and called to the inner room: "Ling'er, come out to see my brother." ”
Oh, Ling'er, it's the little girl Xinya specially told him to look for, it turns out that she is also here. Lin Shaoxuan heard the door knocking, turned his head to look, and saw a little girl walking out slowly.
This little girl looked only eleven or twelve years old, wearing a white-washed green cloth skirt, because she was a vegetarian in the nunnery all the year round, she looked very thin, but her face and body were quite similar to Xinya.
"I've seen my brother." Ling'er made a blessing to Lin Shaoxuan, and then hid behind her mother and refused to come out.
"Childe, the little woman has a reluctant request." Aunt Liu bit her lip and suddenly knelt down in front of Lin Shaoxuan.
"Oh, auntie, what are you doing! Hurry up. Lin Shaoxuan was startled, and quickly stood up to avoid it, but he couldn't help but feel very embarrassed.
"Please take Ling'er to Hangzhou, hand her over to her sister, and ask Gongzi to bring her a word, telling her to avenge her master!"
Aunt Liu touched the ground with her forehead, cried loudly, and shouted that Xinya would avenge her father.
