Chapter 174: Finally Waiting
Qi Yunshu knew that after he couldn't get help from Mr. Xia, he didn't bother with it, even if he wanted to leave.
Mr. Xia didn't say anything, but the scholar was anxious: "Sir, you can obviously ...... Why ......"
"Ahem...... Mr. Xia suddenly coughed violently, interrupting the scholar's words.
Qi Yunshu's heart was cold, the world was hot and cold, no one was to blame! It was already benevolent for him to let her in and change her clothes, what more could she ask for?
Although he was so free to explain himself in his heart, he still had the words that the scholar had just said echoed in his mind.
At this time, the conversation in the study was not interrupted because of Qi Yunshu's departure.
"Sir, I still can't understand, didn't you tell me that Zhao Gongzi is a good person, he won't kill people? Why are you just not willing to help him? ”
"Rong Zhi is destined to have this catastrophe, if I help, I don't know where this catastrophe will go, if it passes, you can solve the dead end and regain your life, so help is not to help, not to help is to help!"
Qi Yunshu came out with an oil-paper umbrella, and Qi Yancai, who had been waiting at the door, saw Liu Sanyuan, and hurriedly came over to ask about the situation.
"How about it, did Mr. Xia agree?" Qi Yancai was a little anxious.
Liu Sanyuan observed Qi Yunshu carefully, and saw that she had changed into Zhao Jing's clothes, but her face was sad, so he knew that the situation was not very good, so he grabbed Qi Yancai, who was still asking, and sighed:
"I'm afraid Mr. Xia didn't agree!"
Qi Yancai's expression tightened: "Why, Yun Niang, you are talking, hasn't Mr. Xia always valued Rong Zhi very much?" Why don't you want to help? ”
Qi Yunshu shook her head: "Mr. Xia told me that the bell must be tied to the bell...... This matter started because of the Zhao Mansion, so he had to go to the Zhao Mansion. ”
"Zhao Mansion, if it is useful to find them, do we still need to ask for Mr. Xia's door? I've heard them say it, that little guy is called Wang Heishu, he is the little guy of Zhao Mansion, or the brother of the little Qingshu who was punished last time for copying scriptures and worshipping Buddha in Guanyin Temple because of Zhao Jing's incident, this time he came to you on purpose! ”
Qi Yunshu was shocked, looked at Qi Yancai, and Qi Yancai looked at Liu Sanyuan, meaning that he had inquired about these things.
Liu Sanyuan spread his hands and said that he knew a few children of official families like Zhao Qian in the Kyoto Academy, and he happened to meet them in this bookstore, so he chatted a few more words.
Qi Yunshu thanked him, and looked at the two of them through the rain curtain that had gradually decreased: "Thank you for accompanying me this time, I am going to Zhao Mansion now, you go back and rest first!" ”
"How can this work, no matter how it is, our two dignified men can't let you let a weak woman come forward." Qi Yan took the beginning of the conversation.
Liu Sanyuan also said that he came from the same place as Qi Yancai and Zhao Jing, and they lived under the same roof with their grace, and he already treated her as his own sister, and she should be counted as him for everything.
Hearing this, Qi Yunshu made up her mind, in fact, what she said just now was just polite, she knew that Qi Yancai had always valued her sister and Zhao Jing's brother-in-law, and he naturally would not ignore them, but Liu Sanyuan only had friendship with them, not relatives.
He spoke like this in order to show off the carriage and horses, so as not to blame Liu Sanyuan for pulling him into this muddy water.
Now that he has spoken, the meaning is different!
She felt a little more stable in her heart, because she thought of what Zhao Jing and Mama Liu had told her before, and now she had a little idea in her heart.
Here, Liu Sanyuan, who has a wide social network, was invited to go back and continue to help her inquire about some news of the Zhao Mansion, while she and Qi Yancai hurried back to find Mama Liu, who knew the Zhao Mansion best, to ask about the situation.
Back in the courtyard, Mama Liu had already heard about it, put down everything at hand, and was anxiously turning around in the courtyard.
Seeing Qi Yunshu coming back, he hurriedly stepped forward and grabbed her: "Young grandmother...... Young grandma, how is the young master? ”
Qi Yunshu's eyes were red, and her voice was soft: "Don't worry, Mama, I just went out to find out the news and find a way, but now there are some things I want to ask Mama to help me, I don't know if Mama may agree?" ”
"What the young grandmother said, as long as the young master can be saved, the old woman and I will give up this life!" Mama Liu covered her face and cried sadly.
Speaking of Zhao Jing's miserable life, he lost his mother when he was born, and he lost his father at a young age and was driven out of the family.
Qi Yunshu sighed heavily: "Tiger poison still doesn't eat children, mamma, isn't there a huge Zhao Mansion who can protect Zhao Jing?" ”
Mama Liu thought for a while: "There are people who protect the young master, but I'm afraid that the young grandmother won't move him!" ”
Qi Yunshu recalled the composition of the Zhao Mansion personnel he had heard about in the capital in the past and casually guessed: "Who is it, but the former Taifu Mr. Zhao?" ”
Mama Liu stared at her with some surprise: "Young grandma...... How do you know? At that time, even the old man in the mansion disliked the young master, saying that he was hard-headed and born to be a good man, but only the old lady really cared about the young master......"
Qi Yunshu didn't say much, and asked her where else she could find him if she didn't enter the Zhao Mansion.
Mama Liu thought for a while and said: "There is a place called Qingmei Restaurant in Mao'er Hutong in the west of the city, and the old lady used to go there every month to drink tea and eat!" ”
"Okay, great!" Qi Yunshu got the news and immediately asked Qingzhi to lead her.
was stopped by Qi Yancai.
"Yun Niang, it's late today, and it's raining again, I'm afraid Lord Zhao won't be there! Why don't you go again tomorrow! ”
Qi Yunshu is now in a hurry, but it is not a person who can't listen to words, Wen Yan sat down and sorted out his thoughts, as soon as he sat down, he sneezed, he was busy before, but he didn't feel it, and when he was free, he felt that his nose was not clear, and he thought it was caused by the rain before.
Fortunately, I will be able to heal, and I always have a cold and flu pill in it, swallow one, and wake up one night.
Fortunately, when I got up the next day, the weather cleared again, but the cold wind was still raging outside the door.
Qi Yunshu took Qingzhi and rushed to Mao'er Hutong in the west of the city early.
It is said that the name of the restaurant is "Yangmei Restaurant", which has both meals and bayberry wine, and it was very famous in the capital back then.
The two searched all the way but did not find it in the conspicuous position that Mama Liu said, but only saw it in a very inconspicuous place.
This is an alley, quite an alley in Mao'er Hutong, if it weren't for the sharp eyes of Qingzhi, who saw the fluttering red flag flying in the alley from a distance, Qi Yunshu would probably miss it.
When I came to the bayberry wine shop, I saw that the store was very small, only about 20 square meters in total, and there were four rectangular small tables inside, and a small shed was built outside, and two tables were placed, and the business was bleak.
There were two people busy inside and out, and there were only four customers sitting in the room.
Some people are drinking, some are blowing on the jar, and some are eating dry vegetables......
But there is no one in it who conforms to the image of Mrs. Zhao.
"Master, it doesn't seem to be!" Aoeda glanced at the doorway.
"I'm here to try my luck, Mama Liu also mentioned it when she said it, we may not really be able to find him on this trip!" Although the signboard of this restaurant is still there, it is no longer the thriving business in Mama Liu's words.
It had fallen into a place where a family could barely survive in the alleys.
Waiting for a day, Qingzhi could still go out from time to time to take a look, but after being disappointed several times in a row, he didn't have so much interest, holding his chin and sitting in front of the steps with Qi Yunshu staring wide-eyed.
"Master, if he doesn't come, what should we do?"
"Wait! Not only did Mama Liu tell me that Mrs. Zhao would appear, but the news that Liu Sanyuan inquired from outside also showed that Mrs. Zhao had this habit, and it hadn't changed for so many years! ”
So she was convinced that he would come.
It's not today, it's tomorrow, it's not tomorrow, it's the day after tomorrow!
After waiting for three days, Old Lady Zhao still did not arrive.
The weather is getting colder and colder, and there is a light snowfall, and there is news from Shuntianfu that the victim has been in a coma for a whole day because of the sequelae of being postponed.
There was not much time left for Qi Yunshu.
On the big stone not far in front of Qingmei Restaurant, Qi Yunshu and Qingli gathered together and waited quietly as before.
Qingzhi's patience had long been worn out, and he frowned and looked at her with a sad face:
"Master, what should we do if the old lady doesn't come today?"
What to do? Cold scrambled eggs, half of you and half of me......
Qi Yunshu thought silently in her heart, but seeing that Qingzhi was so worried, it was not good to say cold jokes again, and comforted: "It's okay, it's really not good, let's go to the gate of Zhao Mansion tomorrow to guard, we can always see it!" ”
Zhao Jing's side can't be delayed any longer, otherwise it will be too late!
Just thinking about it, the snowflakes fell on her body one by one, and she couldn't help but reach out to catch them, but the snowflakes were naughty, and as soon as she stretched out her hand, the snowflakes rolled into water in her palm.
This is like a flower in the mirror, the moon in the water, you can see it but you can't touch it!
She sighed that she was too stupid, stood up and patted off half of the snowflakes on her body, preparing to really go to the gate of Zhaofu to block people, although the chance is not big, but it is better than nothing!
At that moment, she saw an old man with white hair and beard walking into the Qingmei restaurant, sitting down at the long table closest to the counter, and talking to the old couple in a low voice.
Qi Yunshu's heart jumped, looking closely at the ordinary round-necked straight jacket and dark jacquard on his body, he couldn't see the gold on the surface, but the patterns on the material were low-key and exquisite.
Qi Yunshu specifically glanced sideways at his face, and suddenly froze in place.
Although he is old and has some wrinkles on his face, his three-dimensional facial features can still show that his appearance when he was young was very beaten.
And the eyebrows and eyes are very similar to Zhao Jing, with long narrow phoenix eyes, clear starry eyes, and thick black eyebrows.
Qi Yunshu's heart was excited, it has been three days, she and Qingzhi have been guarding here for three days, and finally they have guarded him!
