In Pingyang County, not long after the shopkeeper Xu took away the Du family's mother and daughter, some people from the He family stood at the gate of the city and caught fast in the yamen.

Ah Xiu has disappeared for more than half a year, but the news has been covered by the He family in Jiangnan and has not been released.

This is a matter of great publicity.

The Zhuo family is now left with such a lone seedling, how many pairs of eyes are staring, if the news leaks, it is not only their He family who is looking for people outside.

You must know that although the Zhuo family's embroidery workshop has been divided, the whereabouts of the ancestral needle spectrum are unknown, and the top needlework has been lost.

There is also a light yarn feather coat produced by the Zhuo family, since the fall of the Zhuo family, the spinning workshop is still there, but it has never produced a boutique.

The world underestimated the Zhuo family's control of ancestral craftsmanship, not the Zhuo family, and the glory of the Zhuo family could not be continued at all.

He Wenyun didn't dare to make a big deal about finding people, he didn't let the government post a notice, but just took people to guard the city gate, and after two days there was no harvest, so he went door to door to check and find it.

On this day, they came to a deep alley.

He Wenyun asked the catcher to open the door in order, and everyone shook their heads when they saw the woman and girl in the portrait.

"In the past six months, have there been any new residents in the neighborhood?"

The men shook their heads again, but others said that it seemed that the penultimate house at the bottom of the alley was newly moved.

The group went to the front of the courtyard, and no one responded after a long time, and they were trying not to break the door, when a young man with two bundles of firewood came in at the entrance of the alley.

The man was dressed in a shabby shirt, his eyes were piercing, his skin was dark, and his body was muscular and burly.

He saw those people knocking on the door, stepped forward and asked, "Official, there is no one in this house." ”

"Nobody?" The head of the fast catcher looked at the porter unhappily, "Didn't you say that you just moved in for half a year, how can there be no one?" ”

Mentioning this, the young man sighed: "There is an old mother and a pair of brothers and sisters living there, how do you think that the old mother went a few days ago, and the brothers and sisters went back to their hometown to mourn." ”

And here's the thing!

Catch the head and take out the portrait: "Have you seen these two people?" ”

The man shook his head: "I haven't seen it." ”

Catch Kuai frowned, took the portrait and was about to go to the next house, but heard the man say: "Official, this is my home, the population is simple, except for me, it is the old mother." ”

As he spoke, the man stepped forward and knocked on the door and shouted, "Mother, I'm back." ”

After a while, the courtyard door opened, and a slightly chubby woman poked her head out.

It was wrong to catch people quickly, and soon went out from the alley.

"Da Niu, you're back so early."

When the woman saw them depart, she drew her son in.

Wang Daniu put down the firewood and replied: "I asked the shopkeeper Xu in the morning, and there was no goods today, so I went to the mountains to get firewood and went back." ”

The woman nodded, remembering those people just now, and asked him worriedly, "Da Niu, do you think the mother and daughter next door are really ......?"

"Mother, don't say it." Wang Daniu interrupted her, "They are good people, it's just that someone wants to arrest them." ”

There must be something wrong with why the prisoner didn't put up the notice.

So he helped buy things for a few months and said that he was a good person, and the woman laughed, "You just saw that girl was good-looking." ”

"Mother, what are you talking nonsense?"

Wang Daniu turned his head, but his eyes were on the courtyard wall a few steps away.

He still remembered that day when he was chopping wood in the courtyard, a stone suddenly flew over the wall, and a girl in an emerald green shirt leaned on the wall and asked with a smile: "You are Brother Wang, my rice is gone, can I trouble you to buy a little." ”

Shopkeeper Xu told him that his maiden cousin lived next door, and let him take care of one or two, but he didn't expect that Shopkeeper Xu had grandchildren, and his cousin was still a big girl.

For the first time, Wang Daniu sent a large basket of things in, and it was the girl who opened the door, thanked him, and said with a smile that her name was Xiaojuan.

Xiaojuan, Xiaojuan, this name is so good.

Wang Da Niu wiped his face with water, and the girl's bright smile was still clearly imprinted in his mind.

It's a pity that the mother and daughter next door are gone.

That day, when he came back from collecting firewood outside, he saw someone at the gate of the city holding a portrait of the mother and daughter.

He hurried back to the courtyard and climbed over the wall to the next door, but the house was empty.

*****

It's been a busy day, and it's been fruitless.

He Wenyun took people back, and the second master of the He family was already waiting at the door. The banquet was set up in the front hall, and he was waiting for him to be seated.

"Is my fourth uncle home?"

In the past two days, He Jingcheng went outside to run errands.

The second master of the He family smiled: "No." ”

"Since the fourth uncle has not returned, it is okay not to go to this banquet, Gai Ming'er will wait for the fourth uncle to come back, and then bother the second master."

He Wenyun was about to leave as he spoke, and the second master of the He family hurriedly followed, and said, "Today, the eldest brother has found a good cook outside, so it is better to send the table noodles over to the second son to try it." ”

"Then there is Second Master Lao."

Since he lives in someone's house and lets him do things, this bit of face is to be given.

"The second son is polite."

The second master of the He family bowed down, sighed secretly when the others walked away, and said to the steward beside him: "You personally take someone to send it, don't make any mistakes." ”

"Yes."

The steward took the order and left, and Second Master He looked at the sky and went to a concubine in the backyard.

The concubine had heard that the second master would not come tonight, and when she saw that people were happy, she immediately pulled him to sit down, helped the man rub his shoulders, and relieved his fatigue.

"Master, didn't you say you wouldn't be here today?"

He Erye closed his eyes and recuperated, and said with a smile when he heard the words: "People don't appreciate their faces, please don't move." ”

The concubine heard the second master of the He family nagging twice, and at this time I heard that the other party didn't even go to a table, and complained in a low voice: "This face is too much, we are all surnamed He, and it is not enough for people to call for thousands of miles, and they don't give face." ”

"Shut up!"

The second master of the He family opened his eyes and looked cold.

The concubine was startled and immediately knelt down, "Second master forgive the sin." ”

"Keep your mouth shut, those people are not something we can offend."

The second master of the He family got up, shook his sleeves and left.

The He family in the south of the Yangtze River, the eldest man has entered the Tai Hospital in Beijing, and the fortune is strong in the past two years, plus the family has got a batch of embroidery workshops, and now the business is booming, and it is not easy to come to these small places for them, how can they not stutter.

Before you put it, even if you go to someone's door, no one will help you report it.

Thinking of this, the second master of the He family went to the front yard again and asked if the banquet could be arranged.

On the side of Qingzhu Courtyard, He Wenyun freshened up and sat down at the table.

The banquet that the second master of the He family said had already been laid out, and he took a general look at it and let out a sneer.

I thought it was any different, it was nothing more than some vulgar big fish and big meat.

He Wenyun didn't like to be too greasy, and was a little bored looking at those big meat dishes.

The maid of the cloth vegetables was very eye-catching, avoided the hard dishes, and picked some green ones.

After eating, He Wenyun rinsed his mouth with tea, only to find that today's maid of cloth vegetables has been changed, and it is Zitong who has been relieved by him.
