Chapter 72: Preparing to Save People
Xiaocui's home is in Xiayao District, which is also one of the civilian areas of Dijing City. It is diagonally located with the Shangyao District where Jinse's Zhuang Mansion is located, and the branches are on both sides of the Imperial Capital City. Shangyao District is in the northwest corner, while Xiayao District is in the southeast corner.
Jin Se took February to Xiao Cui's house together.
In ancient times, there were no mobile phones due to inconvenient communication. In order to register all the staff in the store just in case, Jinse made an employee file manual. Their various information was recorded in case of need.
This time, Xiaocui didn't go to the store, so Jinse used this thing.
She found Sanyang Hutong, where Xiaocui lived, and her family lived in the innermost part of the alley. Two people knocked on the door for a long time before there were voices in the courtyard.
"Here we ......," was a woman's voice, "ahem, ahem." ”
The voice was weak, accompanied by a coughing sound.
With a creak, the door opened. "Who are you? What are you doing at my house? The woman looked at the two of them suspiciously, wondering if she had said too much. She's coughing.
The woman's face was pale, and her mouth was pale in color. This is a very sick man, and his body is thin and unhuman, hollowed out by the disease.
"Hello auntie, I am Zhuang Jinse, the owner of a tavern, and this is my maid February. Does Cui live here? Jin Se smiled kindly and kindly.
The woman came to her senses and hurriedly welcomed the two into the door: "Yes, yes, you are the boss of the village." Cui told me about you. ”
Xiao Cui's home is not very big, just the simplest two thatched houses. There are no frills and only protection from the wind and rain. An old hen was wandering around in the small yard, tilting her head and staring curiously at the two people who entered the yard.
After the three of them sat down, Jin Se expressed his intention: "Auntie, Xiaocui sings very well in my tavern, and there are guests who come to see her." Somehow she didn't come to the store today. I was a little worried, so I came over and took a look. Xiaocui is okay, right? ”
Jin Se's words made the eldest mother's face even paler, and she coughed violently several times. February helped pour her a cup of tea, and she slowly recovered.
"I've been sleeping in bed when I'm sick, and I'm busy with my illness. Shangyao District is far away, and she came back late. She was busy at home yesterday and bought me an old hen to replenish her body. Today she went out early, and I took my medicine and went to sleep, until you came to me. ”
Xiaocui's mother was worried about Xiaocui's safety, so she covered her face and cried bitterly, "It's all my disease, if I hadn't been sick, Xiaocui wouldn't have to go out to sing." If something happens to Xiaocui, how can I be worthy of her dead father. ”
The woman's weeping was heartbroken, and she coughed as she wept. Jin Se was afraid that she would be too sad and not conducive to her body's recovery.
She persuaded: "Don't worry, auntie, I'll take someone out to find it." Either way, I'll definitely help you find someone. ”
To live to see people, to die to see corpses.
Can't let Xiaocui disappear for no apparent reason.
Ancient women have the most important reputation, if they can't find Xiaocui before tomorrow morning, if they are spread. It may be difficult for her to marry in the future.
In order to protect Xiaocui's reputation, Jin Se can only look for someone in a low-key manner. Xiao Cui went out this morning, so she must have disappeared on the way to a tavern. Just follow the path she has walked and you'll find some clues.
"Miss, I just asked the owner of the roadside pastry shop. Xiao Cui left here this morning. "I came back in February.
Yes, that's good. The direction is right, as long as you go all the way, there will always be someone to see.
Jin Se silently prayed in his heart, hoping that nothing would happen to Xiao Cui. Otherwise, she won't be at ease for the rest of her life, after all, Xiaocui is on stage to perform in a tavern because of her.
"We'll chase down the road to the tavern, and we'll find something." Jin Se and February asked little by little along the street.
Most of the people didn't notice Xiao Cui with the qin, and a few reluctantly recalled it and told Jin Se about the situation.
"The girl with the guqin on her back, I really want to be a little impressed. Not very old, not wearing a hat is not. The owner of the roadside tea shop recalled, "I remember she went to Suzaku Street." ”
"Okay, thank you." After getting the information, Jin Se hurriedly thanked him.
The two of them went to Suzaku Street, and when they arrived at Suzaku Street, it was not far from the Arima Tavern. But Xiaocui disappeared for no reason, there must be a secret in this!
They met an unexpected person everywhere on Suzaku Street, Zhou Zimu's friend Gu Fan.
Although Gu Fan is a household servant, he is a romantic person. Everywhere there is a debt of affection. His reputation in the court can be imagined, but he has been friends with the regent since childhood. Everyone is willing to sell the regent a little face.
As long as it's not excessive, everyone turns a blind eye.
Those who had girls in their families all warned their daughters not to associate with Gu Fan. can't stand it, the girl likes Gu Fan's rhetoric and amorous appearance.
, "It's Miss Jinse and Ying Er, who haven't seen each other for many days. I want to kill you! Gu Fan spoke with his temperament. He blinked as he spoke.
February said coldly: "Young Master Gu, the prince gave me to Miss." I'm a young lady's person now. ”
"Gu Fan, I don't have time to mess with you now. You said that if you let Zimu know that you talk to me like this, will he beat you? "Jin Se can't find that Xiao Cui is in a hurry, this guy is running out now to delay things.
Hearing Jin Se's words, Gu Fan accepted an indecent smile and flattered: "Don't don't, I'm just talking about playing." There is absolutely no other meaning, Miss spares her life. ”
I have long known that Zhuang Jinse has a straight temper, and even the dignified regent Zhou Zimu was stopped outside the tavern by her for three days.
Although he and the regent are friends, if he knows about this kind of thing, he is afraid that he will be thrown out of the regent's palace.
"Forget it, I really have something, we'll talk about it next time." Jin Se didn't want to get too entangled with him.
This is a playboy, **** I'm afraid I can't change it.
"Miss Jinse has any troubles to tell me, I don't have any other skills. It's still okay to solve the girl's problems. Gu Fan saw that Jin Se's face was heavy, and he also became solemn, "Anyway, I am also the head of the household department appointed by the imperial court." Friends in trouble can't help but help! ”
Gu Fan said everything about this, and Jin Se had no choice but to tell him about Xiaocui.
Unexpectedly, it was really an unintentional move that helped her find Xiaocui!
"A girl who carries the guqin, or is she not seen on Suzaku Street today?" Gu Fan closed his eyes and thought about it for a while.
He suddenly opened his eyes: "I remember, I just met this girl not long ago today!" ”
"Really? Where did you see that? Jin Se asked in surprise!
Gu Fan had just seen Xiao Cui, which meant that Xiao Cui was still safe. As long as you find Xiao Cui, you can bring her back.
Hearing Jin Se's question, Gu Fan's face was a little strange.
She ...... "Gu Fan hesitated, but he didn't want to say where Xiaocui was.
Jin Se was so anxious that he couldn't help but shout: "Where the hell is she!" ”
"I just met this girl in Yanhua Building." Gu Fan had no choice but to tell Jin Se in a low voice.
Yanhua Building? What is that place? Where to sell big cigarettes?
"Yanhualou is a happy building, a place where men and women do that kind of thing." February explained softly from the side.
Oh my God, Xiao Cui was actually abducted to that kind of place! Jin Se anxiously pulled Gu Fan's sleeve: "Take me quickly!" It's too late to go! ”
In the TV series, the girl was arrested, either beaten or forced to receive guests.
Xiaocui has not yet reached adulthood and made the first salute, so she will suffer this great sin, and Jin Se is very anxious.
"It's a happy house! How can you go as a girl! Gu Fan refused without thinking about it!
If Zhou Zimu knows, it will break his legs.
"It's okay for Xiaocui to be inside, if we go one minute late, she'll be more dangerous!" Jin Se insisted on going, "Since you all know Xiaocui's location, help someone take me there." I didn't feel uneasy when I didn't see Xiao Cui. ”
"I'm going to go, you go back and wait for news!" Gu Fan pushed Jin Se away and turned around to find Xiao Cui by himself.
Seeing that Gu Fan didn't take him with him, Jin Se was still unwilling. She secretly followed behind Gu Fan, but it was a big deal that she didn't go in. As long as you can save Xiaocui. Jinse insisted on following, but February had no choice.
Her task is to keep Miss safe if anyone wants to do her badly. She will teach each other a hard lesson!
Gu Fan didn't know that he had two tails right, and he came to Yanhua Building with a familiar car. When the old bustard saw Young Master Gu coming again, his face turned into a flower with a smile: "Young Master Gu, it's here again today." Do you want to be a narcissus? I'm going to call her over. ”
"No, I'm here to find someone!" Gu Fan explained with a smile.
He was a regular visitor to the place, and the girls liked him, especially Narcissus. I want to go home with him every time I see him, and there is no way to be too romantic. I can't bear to break the hearts of the girls.
The old bustard thought that Gu Fan was looking for a new girl, so he hurriedly called the new girl to choose for Gu Fan.
Gu Fan, who was surrounded by a group of warblers and swallows, couldn't explain for a while, and was surrounded by all the women.
"I'm really here to find someone, don't make trouble." Gu Fan wanted to cry without tears, he kindly helped find someone, but he was surrounded by the girls.
"I know Childe is here for me."
"Whoever said it came to me."
Several girls pulled Gu Fan, but no one was willing to let go. They knew that Gu Fan was a famous and merry son in the imperial capital, not only a high-ranking and powerful householder, but also generous and handsome. It's a rare guest!
Gu Fan didn't turn his face when he was pulled around, he was too loved by the girls.
Hey, what an annoyance, he thought to himself.
Gu Fan only cared about playing with the girls and forgot about Xiaocui.
Jin Se outside the door really couldn't stand it.
She was desperate to rush in, but February grabbed her.
"Miss, you can't go in now!"
"But Xiaocui is in danger, and the consequences of going late are unimaginable." Jin Se basically can't take care of so much, Gu Fan is unreliable, she only has herself.
February looked around: "Miss, don't worry, at least let me get you a hat before you go in." She quickly bought two hats at a roadside stall, and she and Jinse wore one by themselves.
Putting on his hat, Jin Se anxiously rushed into the Yanhua Building!
