Chapter 7 Inexplicable Inquiry
After a while, a simple and somewhat cautious shout suddenly came from the half-hidden courtyard door: "Wen Shu, Wen Shu." ”
This voice was extremely familiar, Wen Shu didn't need to look at it to know who it was, and immediately poked his head out of the window and greeted casually: "Come in, my father is not here." ”
The tall and thin man standing outside the courtyard seemed to be a little uneasy when he heard this, and he looked inside for a while, and when he saw that Wen Taizhen was not inside, he breathed a sigh of relief and stepped into the door.
Wen Shu put down the book, greeted him and said, "Why are you here?" Are you done with your family? ”
"My father and sister-in-law are still busy, and my mother asked me to come out to buy things."
"Then if you don't buy it, what are you doing here?"
Huzi looked around and said in a low voice: "Something to tell you, boss, are you messing with someone outside?" ”
Boss is Huzi's unique name for Wen Shu, and it is also the rule that Wen Shu set up when he beat Huzi for the first time when he was a child.
"What nonsense! What can I mess with! Wen Shu glared at him.
Huzi pursed his eyes and looked at her in disbelief: "Don't hide it from me, the people from Weiyuan Houfu have all come here just now." ”
"Weiyuan Houfu!" Wen Shu was stunned, and then looked at him strangely, "What are the people from Weiyuan Houfu looking for you?" ”
"Why are you looking for me, people are here to inquire about you." Huzi rolled his eyes.
"Inquire about me!" Wen Shu was stunned for a moment, and said strangely: "I don't know any Weiyuan Houfu, why did the people of his family inquire about me?" ”
"The man didn't say anything, but he asked me where you lived, you really didn't cause trouble, did you?" Speaking of this, Huzi looked at her with some worry.
"No, I can cause trouble." Wen Shu waved his hand.
"Then do you know anyone from Weiyuan Houfu?"
"I don't know."
"What did they ask you about?"
"You ask me about this, and I still want to know." Wen Shu rolled his eyes, then his body was stunned, and asked, "You told me where I lived?" ”
Huzi lowered his head happily, "That.... I didn't want to say it, but then he showed the sign of the waiting house, and I ...... "
Wen Shu understood his difficulty, he was not angry at the moment, and he was able to deliberately take a detour to tell her, which was already a heart.
"Okay, I don't blame you, thank you for coming to tell me, if there's nothing else, you better leave quickly, my dad is coming back soon."
Huzi came to this trip to inform her, so as not to let people secretly calculate, but now he didn't leave much to say, and left after laughing twice.
After he left, Wen Shu was thinking about it seriously.
She knew Huzi's temperament, and she would never make up this kind of story to tease her, but Weiyuan Houfu ........
After staring and thinking for a moment, she suddenly had a flash of inspiration!
That's right! Yesterday, I heard those maids say that Lu Shaoqing seems to be from Houfu......
Could it be this Weiyuan Mansion?
It should be, otherwise she wouldn't know any other people in the Houfu, but why did Lu Shaoqing send someone to inquire about her residence?
If you talk about reward, Wang Yushi has already given him a reward for silver yesterday, and it is said that this matter is over....
After thinking for a while, she really couldn't think of any clue, so she simply threw it away and went back to her room to continue reading. It's just that he raised his eyes, but he unexpectedly met the iron box on the bedside table, and couldn't help but pause.
The next moment, she turned her steps and walked to the bedside table and picked up the strange iron box.
The four walls of the iron box are engraved with many flowers, birds, fish, insects, birds and animals, and the cover and base are engraved with blue sky and white clouds and mountain lakes.
After looking at it for a moment, a trace of doubt flashed in her heart, where did this coffin-like thing come from?
If it is said that the guests who have been to her shop are accidentally lost, it seems that it is unlikely, not to mention that the exquisite texture patterns on it are not like ordinary people's homes can be made, even if they can do it, who will make this kind of thing to carry around, not afraid of bad luck!
Rubbing his fingers on the iron box for a moment, looking at the inconspicuous gap between the upper cover and the lower circumference of the iron box, Wen Shu's heart moved, and secretly said: Isn't this box still open!
But what will it be in here?
Curious, I couldn't help but want to push open the iron lid to take a look, but my hand reached halfway and retracted again.
No way! This thing is not her home, if she opens it without permission like this, won't she be peeping into other people's privacy, the master said: "Don't look at indecent things, don't listen to indecent people." ”
After hesitating for a moment, she thought, forget it, let's wait.
In less than a day, the entire city of Tokyo will know about the fire in the north of the city, and whoever is passing by here will accidentally lose something, and after hearing this, they will definitely wake up and look back.
If it's been a month, no one cares about this thing, and it's not too late for her to open it.
Having made up his mind, Wen Shu resisted his curiosity, turned around and went back to the desk to continue reading.
It's just that this head just sat down for a while, and the other end heard the wooden door of the small courtyard creak again, and then her father's panting voice came: "A-Ning, A-Ning, come and help." ”
Hearing the sound, Wen Shu hurriedly put down the books and ran out, and when she went out, she saw her father carrying a lot of things on his shoulders and coming back, the most conspicuous thing was the seventy or eighty pound big noodle pocket on his shoulder.
She hurriedly stepped forward to take it, and complained in her mouth: "Dad wants wheat noodles just tell the rice shop, they will send someone to send it, why bother carrying it back like this, and carrying such things, be careful of hurting your waist again." ”
Wentai shook his hand: "It's okay, I have a number in my heart, there are many people in the rice shop today, and the shopkeeper said that there may not be time to send it before noon, I thought that the white noodles in the jar were not enough to make a meal of meat noodles, so I simply carried it back." ”
The food at home has always been managed by Wen Shu, and she naturally knows how many noodles are left in the house, but when she heard her father say that she made pork noodles at noon, she couldn't help but exclaim: "Dad, you buy meat!" ”
Wentai smiled, and slipped out a piece of pork belly from the basket on the right as if he were juggling, "Didn't you say yesterday that you would buy meat today?" ”
Wen Shu naturally remembered this, but last night there was a sudden disaster at home, the shop suffered a disaster, he didn't know how much silver it would cost to rebuild, thinking of this, where did she dare to mention eating meat, and now looking at the meat is almost two catties, she can't help but feel distressed again: "Is this meat a little too much, we still have to keep the money to build a shop." ”
Wentai smiled, patted the flour on his body and said: "It's okay, save these two catties of meat, we won't be able to build a shop, and besides, you are still growing at this age, so why do you have to eat something good." As he spoke, he looked her up and down, and said with disgust: "I'm still a little thinner, and people who come to look at each other don't agree......
Wen Shu, who was standing in place, looked at his slightly flat chest, and only felt that his head was full of black lines........
This is the mother-in-law of which family chewed the root of her tongue in front of her father, although her family does not eat meat every day, but the food is not too bad, and she can open meat every three or five times.
It's just that recently she wanted to save money for her father to buy back the waist guard, so she lied that she lost money on the way, so that she could get some meat money, although her father wanted to give her some more money to buy meat, just thinking that her dowry was still more than half away, so she just held on to the heart that wanted to eat meat.
Anyway, the fact that the chest is not long, I really can't blame it on not eating meat, according to Aunt Li's words in the past, this matter may not be with her mother.
It's just that her mother passed away early, and she doesn't even know what she looks like, so naturally there is no way to verify it.
Back to the moment, looking at the red and white pork belly, although Wen Shu felt sorry for the silver, but he hadn't eaten meat for ten days and half a month, and his mouth was a little greedy.
When Wentai washed his hands, he looked up and saw the back of his daughter easily carrying the white bag back to the kitchen, and sighed secretly in his heart.
If only this were a boy!
The strength is just right to inherit his mantle and learn to make a coffin, how to make a living in the future, but it is a girl's family, although the strength can be used to defend himself, but he doesn't know how to cover up, it's a bad thing.
This girl was fine when she was young, and her strength was slightly greater than that of ordinary children of the same age, but who knew that as she got older, this strength became more and more powerful. If you really want to compare now, I'm afraid it's a few points stronger than him.
Thinking of this, Wentai had a headache.
