148, slowly drawing
After Xie Ping'an returned to the mansion, he asked Xiao Liuzi, the little servant who was waiting for him, to call Zhu Zhen and Mama Zhao to the study.
Mama Zhao is his nurse, she has always taken care of him as her own son, and she didn't even marry herself for him, this time she came here without having to come with Mama Zhao, but she couldn't rest assured that Xie Ping'an insisted on following, so Xie Ping'an respected her very much.
After the two entered the door, Xie Ping'an asked Xiao Liuzi to go to the door to guard, and then opened the painting he drew for them to see.
Zhu Zhen and Mama Zhao both knew and had seen Xie Linlang himself, and when they saw that he was in a hurry to call him just to see this painting, they all looked at him suspiciously.
The corners of Xie Ping'an's mouth flashed with a wry smile, and said, "Ah Zhen, grandma, I may have found the daughter that my aunt missed." ”
"What?" Zhu Zhen was shocked, "You mean Miss Cousin is in this town?" ”
Mama Zhao's expression also changed greatly, and she covered her lips and exclaimed, "Won't it?" Uncle...... No, didn't that man say that Miss Biao had always been well raised by him in southern Yunnan? ”
Xie Ping'an sneered: "Which of what he said is true?" I suspect either he deliberately said that and made us go to the wrong place from the beginning, or something happened in the middle that caused my cousin to come here. ”
I have to say that as the son-in-law who was pinned on by the Xie family, Xie Ping'an's brain is still very good, and he guessed it at once.
Zhu Zhen frowned and said, "Master, where did you meet Miss Biao?" Maybe it's her? ”
"Ah Zhen, I didn't believe that there was fate in this world, but at this moment, I have to admit that it is true, otherwise how could it be so coincidental that I came here to work, and so coincidentally went to Qingxinfang." Thinking that the little boss he had always had a good impression of turned out to be his cousin, Xie Ping'an's handsome face floated with a helpless chuckle.
"Qingxinfang?" Zhu Zhen also went there at that time, naturally he had an impression, and his eyes widened in surprise, "Isn't it ......"
Xie Ping'an nodded approvingly: "Exactly, I accidentally saw her true face yesterday, and it was almost the same as when my aunt was young, so I deliberately drew my aunt last night and showed it to her, and from her reaction, I can probably be sure that she is my aunt's daughter, my cousin." ”
Mama Zhao had never been to Qingxinfang, and after hearing the conversation between the two, she asked with curiosity, "Who are you talking about?" Isn't Chingxin Square the most famous restaurant in town? How could she be there? ”
Zhu Zhen had regained his composure at this moment, and explained to her with a smile: "Mama Zhao, our Miss Cousin is not ordinary, she is the chef and owner of Qingxin Fang. ”
Hearing this, Mama Zhao frowned, and said with a hint of disapproval: "Miss Biao is only thirteen years old now, right?" Why do you show up at a young age to earn money? As she spoke, her face was full of pity, "It seems that Miss Biao has suffered a great crime over the years, and Miss Cousin, the daughter of the dignified Shangshu Mansion and the family, is actually ...... Ay! ”
Xie Ping'an's face also flashed with pity, sighed, and said to her: "She has indeed suffered a lot, but fortunately, she has met a good brother." ”
Then, he told everything he knew about Liu Jun's brothers and sisters, although it was only a small part, but it was enough to make Mama Zhao's eyes red.
"brute! Miss Cousin is his own flesh and blood, how could he do such a unconscionable thing? Fortunately, God bless, Miss Cousin is a celestial person, if something happens to her back then, the old lady and the young lady will definitely die of sadness! The more Mama Zhao spoke, the more angry she became, and her tears couldn't stop falling.
Zhu Zhen sighed with emotion, and then asked, "Master, since you have found Miss Biao, should you repair the book and return to the capital as soon as possible to inform me?" ”
Mama Zhao kept nodding while wiping her tears, and echoed: "Yes, yes, it should be like this, the old lady must be happy, and the young lady can no longer be wronged to stay in that ghost place!" ”
Xie Ping'an sighed and shook his head: "Originally, I thought the same way, but looking at the meaning of my cousin, I don't really want to recognize my ancestors and return to my ancestors, after all, ...... I really owed her too much back then, and I couldn't ignore her wishes and rush to write to my family. ”
Zhao Zhenming nodded, and then sighed, and said: "This matter is indeed not so simple, if that person knows, he will definitely make a move on Miss Biao again, and don't forget, master, Miss Cousin's marriage contract ......"
Xie Ping'an pressed his eyebrows with a little headache, and said with a little irritability: "It's that damn marriage contract, that's why I ...... Ah Zhen, my cousin is already pitiful enough, she has suffered for so many years, how can she be allowed to fulfill that damn marriage contract? ”
Mama Zhao said helplessly: "The old lady has discussed with the other side countless times about canceling the marriage contract, but the other side just doesn't agree, and the slave doesn't understand it very much, obviously the two parties don't agree with this marriage contract, why don't they just refuse to cancel it?" ”
"Without him, it's just because they need the power of the Xie family, so even if they know that Miss Biao may be gone, they still insist on keeping the paper marriage contract, as long as the marriage contract is still there, they can continue to borrow the power of the Xie family!" Zhu Zhen sneered.
Xie Ping'an sneered: "Although the Xie family was greatly injured by my good uncle back then, the camel that starved to death was bigger than the horse, and we still have that thing in our hands, how can they be willing to give up such help?" To put it bluntly, it's just a group of villains who tend to be inflammatory, which makes people sick! ”
"Since this is the case, then Miss Biao's recognition of her ancestors and return to her ancestors really has to be thought of carefully, and she has to think of a perfect way, otherwise recognizing her relatives will harm her!" Zhu Zhen said solemnly.
"That's what I thought, so I urgently summoned you here, just hoping to think of a perfect way to come out." Saying that, Xie Ping'an suddenly laughed, "Actually, there is no need to be too anxious about this matter, there is still a long time before my cousin and Lu, let's take it slowly." ”
Thunder House.
After discussing with Lei Zhong for a while, Liu Jiaojiao pulled Liu Jun to the small hall of her residence, and after waving off the maid who was waiting, she told Liu Jun all the memories she remembered before the age of five.
After listening, Liu Jun used all her self-control to not vent her fist, but her expression was terrifying, and there was a fire in her dark eyes, which seemed to burn everything she saw.
"Such a person is not worthy of being a father, or even worthy of being a man!" If Xu Tianci stood in front of him now, he would rather go to prison and cut off his head than kill this scum with his own hands.
Liu Jiaojiao sneered: "If it weren't for the Xie family's strength, he wouldn't have married my mother at all, let alone give birth to me, for him, my mother and I are just stepping stones for him to climb up, not his wife and daughter, so how could he care?" ”
"Did the woman named Feng Jiao hide it from him, or was she instructed by him?"
"As far as I know, I should hide it from him, after all, he still needs to use me to threaten my mother, but this person is also shrewd, and he can come up with an excuse to continue threatening so quickly after I was sold by his concubine. Although the cheap cousin didn't say it explicitly, I guess he probably told my mother to send me to a place that only he knows, as long as my mother is obedient, I will be fine, and there will be a chance to meet in the future. Under the trap, my mother had to be obedient, and the Xie family could only look for it secretly, maybe he deliberately made some false news to disrupt the direction of their search for someone. ”
Liu Jun nodded approvingly, "Your estimate should be right, otherwise it would be impossible for no one to come to find it all these years." ”
Liu Jiaojiao raised her eyebrows, raised her head with a touch of pride, and said: "My estimate must be right, this kind of thing has a routine." "At the beginning, so many power plot house fighting palace fighting dramas were not in vain, although there were exaggerated elements with film and television dramas, but the basic routines were actually just that.
"So you're not going to go to the provincial capital and go directly to the capital?"
"Well, instead of guarding against their unknowing when to attack, it's better to take the initiative, but you can't go now, you still need to wait."
"Wait? What are you waiting for? ”
"Wait for the best time."
The next night, Liu Jiaojiao went back to him with Liu Jun and told Lao Li Tou about it.
Lao Li didn't speak for a long time after listening to this, but the speed of smoking dry tobacco became faster and faster, and before long, the whole house was filled with smoke.
Liu Jun was afraid that her sister would choke on the smoke, so she hurriedly got up and opened all the windows, and then said with a little blame: "Grandpa, how many times have Jiaojiao and I told you?" Smoking less cigarettes is not good for your health, why don't you listen? ”
After the smoke in the house cleared, Lao Li Tou put down the pipe in his hand and said quietly: "The old man has this hobby in his life, and I know it in my heart." "It's clear that I don't want to continue talking about this issue.
Liu Jiaojiao knew that he must be very chaotic in his heart to smoke desperately, and he didn't say anything, but said to him in a slow tone: "Master, I have already told my grandfather, after my brother and I go to the capital, your second elder will temporarily find a safe place to hide and don't show up." ”
"What? Are you afraid that our two old guys will hold you back? ”
"I'm afraid that if something happens, we will be in the capital at that time, and we will not be able to reach the whip."
Lao Li Tou couldn't understand that what she said was right, but he just wanted to go back, but seeing her full of worry, he couldn't bear to continue, so he had to sigh and nod and said, "Don't worry, I know it with Old Man Lei." ”
Liu Jiaojiao suddenly walked in front of him and squatted down, then buried her head in his knees, hugged his calves tightly with both hands, with a hint of choking, and muttered: "Actually, I really want to take you and grandpa with me, only in this way will my brother and I be truly at ease, but grandpa is old, and you have a reason not to go to the capital, so I can only leave you ruthlessly." Master, promise me that you and Grandpa must be well, otherwise, I don't know what kind of things I will do to ......"
Lao Li was stunned, lost his voice suddenly, and couldn't say a word, and after a long while, he raised his hand and stroked Liu Jiaojiao's hair tremblingly.
"Okay, Master promises you!" The voice was hoarse and trembling, light but with a firm force.
