Chen Kui ran to the door of Du Chun's house with joy, expecting Liu Fang to go back with him after he finished speaking.

Who thought that at the gate of the courtyard found that the windows were closed tightly and the door was locked, and shouted a few times, and the neighbors came out and said that the person had just left in a carriage.

"Gone." Chen Kui's eyes widened, and he suddenly remembered the carriage he had just met on the way over.

"yes, it's only been a while." The neighbors also kindly pointed him in the direction, saying that he couldn't catch up if he went after him now.

Before he finished speaking, he saw Chen Kui turn around and run. The man glanced at him, shrugged his shoulders and turned back to his business.

Chen Kui ran to the entrance of the village with all his might, and some people on the road thought something was wrong, and they didn't even respond to calling others, and they ran straight away and couldn't see the figure as soon as they slipped away.

Although he had used his fastest speed, he was no match for a four-legged horse. When I arrived at the entrance of the village, let alone the carriage, I couldn't see the shadow.

He gasped heavily, and Uncle Ma, who was guarding the ox cart next to him, asked him if he had seen a carriage go out.

"Yes, I just walked for a while." Uncle Ma, like those old women, sat leisurely on a big stone carrying a basket. The basket contained some coals, and when it was cold, he put it in and roasted it warmly.

Uncle Ma saw that he was running out of breath and looked anxious, so he asked him what was wrong.

Chen Kui shook his head and said that it was nothing.

Uncle Ma, even if he doesn't understand it, he can guess a little bit when he sees Chen Kui in a hurry.

He leisurely shook his legs and said to Chen Kui: "If you chase now, you will definitely not be able to catch up, it is better to say in the village, go slowly." As soon as you get out of the village, get up quickly when you get on the road, you will be tired of running, and you won't be able to catch up. ”

Chen Kui, who originally wanted to chase out, silently withdrew his foot.

Uncle Ma laughed when he saw it, and then asked Chen Kui if he knew where the carriage went. As long as you know where you're going in the end, it's the same if you're chasing late now, why be so tired, how stupid!

This remark made Chen Kuimao pause, and his eyes lit up, why didn't he expect it.

"Uncle Ma, thank you."

"Young people, use your brains to do things, don't be enthusiastic." Uncle Ma took a sip of the teacup placed next to him, looked at Chen Kui, who was slowly walking out of the village, and sighed: "Alas, young people now, they are really too impulsive, isn't it right to think about it more?" After saying that, he took another sip of tea.

Hurried to the town, he really didn't have to rest for a while, he went directly to the braised butcher shop. As a result, only Zhao Zhuang was there, and Du Chun was not there. After asking, I learned that people had gone to Jiuxiangfang.

It was also at this time that I chatted with Zhao Zhuang and learned that Jiuxiangfang was only open in the morning and closed in the afternoon.

At that time, he was very surprised, how can anyone do business and open a shop for only half a day, too capricious, if it goes on like this for a long time, who will come to patronize your business.

Zhao Zhuang looked at him in surprise when he heard this, and directly stunned the person, looked himself up and down, and didn't feel that anything was wrong. I asked him what was wrong, and he looked surprised.

"Nope." Zhao Zhuang laughed: "I just feel a little surprised, after all, Jiuxiangfang is still quite famous in the town now." Most of the time, before the door opens, there are people waiting outside. Rows and rows, for fear that if you go in late, the things will be sold out. ”

"Really? You didn't smack me! Chen Kui looked at him in disbelief, you have to say that Thaksin was prosperous at the beginning, but now he doesn't believe it.

Some time ago, he heard that Song Jiu was arrested, and then his business plummeted, and no one patronized him. Now that the business is good, it is strange that he can believe it.

Zhao Zhuang didn't say much when he saw it, anyway, there are some things you explain a lot, and people don't believe it and are not happy, so why bother. That's the way it is anyway, believe it or not, it's all there, it doesn't matter.

Chen Kui glanced at their shop, it was afternoon, and usually their braised meat was sold out in the morning, and they would rest in the afternoon or prepare for the next day. It's almost the same as Jiuxiangfang, it's really not a family that doesn't enter the door. There was no one in the store at this time, and it looked a little deserted.

Seeing this situation, Chen Kui asked Zhao Zhuang if the business in the store had been bad recently, why no one had come in.

Zhao Zhuang smiled when he heard this, but just said that autumn and winter are coming, the weather is getting colder and colder, and there are fewer people willing to go out. As for how the business is, he didn't say much. Hearing this, Chen Kui thought that he was not in good business, otherwise how could he be so cold.

After comforting Zhao Zhuang twice, Chen Kui left, his main purpose today was not to come to Zhao Zhuang to catch up.

Zhao Zhuang looked at the figure of the person leaving, couldn't help but shake his head, turned around and began to go about his own business.

Jiuxiangfang is still a long distance away from the braised meat shop, and it looks like almost a stick of incense when you walk past. I thought I would see a very deserted shop, but I didn't expect to see people coming and going in front of the door, and the people in the store were too busy, especially the gentleman who settled the accounts. The abacus in his hand crackled, and it never stopped.

Chen Kui squeezed in and wanted to interject, asking a question that no one had time to reply. And the people in the back kept squeezing in, directly squeezing him to the side. Looking at these people, he remembered what Zhao Zhuang said just now, and then thought about what he answered, and a wave of emotions surged up and made him sigh, in the end, he still had the heart of a villain.

After waiting for a while, when there were not so many people, Chen Kui squeezed to Lu Sheng and asked him if they had come back, and he had something to find.

Lu Sheng didn't recognize him for a while, so he asked, "May I ask who you are?" ”

"My surname is Chen, Chen Kui. My daughter-in-law, Liu Fang, is a good friend with her. ”

When Lu Sheng heard the name, he remembered that he was really embarrassed to say to Chen Kui, who was a little busy and confused just now. Then he told Chen Kui that they were upstairs in the evening song. If there is something to find, he asks Qian Cui to go up and call someone.

"Then trouble sir." I finally found it, and I didn't feel easy.

Lu Sheng asked him to sit on the chair next to him for a while, and then he walked up to Qian Cui and asked her to go up and tell Wan Ge that someone was looking for her, and he took Qian Cui's place to greet the customers in the store. Thanks to the fact that everyone now knows their rules, they can basically come early. It is because there are not too many people in the store near noon, and they are too busy when they open in the morning, let alone go upstairs to call people, even if they stop to drink saliva.

He has already applied to the proprietress to see if he was transferred from the workshop or invited someone else, otherwise he and Qian Cui would not be busy at all. He is still going to continue to participate in the imperial examination in the coming year, but now he is too busy to read books.

Upstairs, Wange was talking to Du Chun about this, Liu Fang wanted to rent a house in the town, and they were now discussing the suitability of the house there. Hearing that Chen Kui was looking for someone downstairs, the two looked at each other.

"I'll go down and have a look." Du Chun was the first to stand up and said.

"Let's do it together!" Wange also stood up, anyway, I have to go down left and right to see what I had to eat at noon, so it's better to go together.

Chen Kui sat on the chair and waited for someone to come down, but waited, waited, waited, waited, waited, waited, waited He took a look, got up and walked over.

"You're down, where is Liu Fang? Is it on top? "As soon as I opened my mouth, these were the things that made people feel uncomfortable listening to them. And after the person said that he still wanted to go up, Du Chun hurriedly stretched out his hand to stop him and asked him what he was doing.

"I have something I want to say to her." Chen Kui paused, he said that he knew that he had done something wrong in this matter, and he thought about it all night last night, and it was impossible to divorce his wife and leave those things. After so many years of husband and wife relationship, how can they be said to be scattered. It wasn't early in the morning that he went to Du Chun's house to find someone, wanting to make it clear. Unexpectedly, they just missed it, and they came to town in a carriage.

"Brother Chen, if you were like this yesterday or earlier, I'm afraid there wouldn't be these things happening now."

The evening song is young, in fact, there are a lot of things that she shouldn't say here. It's just that when she saw Liu Fang's appearance last night, she couldn't help but want to complain about her grievances and say more about Chen Kui.

"Yes, yes, I know that I didn't care about her. Look, didn't I come to her to talk to her? Chen Kui asked her to call Liu Fang down, how could there be an overnight feud between husband and wife, just go back after saying it, and it would not be good to delay and trouble them.

It's a pity that he thought it well, but Liu Fang was not in Jiuxiangfang.

"You say she's not here? Where else can you be if you're not here? Hurry up and let her come down, and say something to her face. Chen Kui couldn't believe his ears, he chased after the big man, and ran to the braised meat shop, and finally asked them to wait here for a long time, but finally told him that no one was here, and he suddenly felt that he was being played.

Facing Chen Kui's slightly impatient attitude, the two looked at each other and saw the helplessness and disappointment in each other's eyes.

"Brother Chen, you just turned me upside down, and if you are not there, you are not there." Wan Ge explained to him that their original plan was indeed to bring people to the shop, but halfway through the carriage, Liu Fang said that she didn't want to trouble them and wanted to go back to her parents' house. They all persuaded her, but she insisted, and in the end she had no choice but to change her path and send her back to her parents' house.

If Chen Kui wants to find someone, he can only go to Liu Fang's mother's house. But if you do go, it won't be easy to meet people.

The Liu family did not dislike their daughter, on the contrary, they loved Liu Fang's daughter very much, and she was filial and sensible. This time things want to pass, difficult. Looking at Chen Kui's ugly face all of a sudden, he knew that he was really hurt to find someone from his mother-in-law's mother's house, and he was afraid that he would have to go through some twists and turns. And it's not sure that you can bring people back.
