In the afternoon, Ji Xiang went to Yuqing Restaurant.

I didn't see Uncle Zhang, but I ran into Dajia. Da Jia shook his head and said that he didn't know what happened to Uncle Zhang, he was a man, and he couldn't manage every acre and three points of land in front of him, so how could he meddle with things.

The words make sense, and Ji Xiang is not reluctant. Dajia was beckoned to add tea, said hello to Ji Xiang and left.

The meal passed, and Lao Wang was not busy, so he just came out for a walk and saw Ji Xiang. I haven't seen this little girl for a long time, "Girl, what are you doing here, are you researching other dishes?" I heard Steward Meng say, you have made a dish of grilled fish, tell me about it quickly. ”

Lao Wang had a gourd hanging from his waist, and he hadn't seen him wearing it before, Ji Xiang asked curiously after a few words back. The little old man shook the gourd, and there was a trance inside, "It's wine, rice wine, I usually use it for seasoning." Originally, I put it inside, but I was afraid that someone would drink it secretly, so I took it out. I heard you talk to Dajia just now, what's the matter? ”

You can ask after grilling fish, but gossip can't be missed. Lao Wang concentrated and stared at Ji Xiang, there were not many people in the restaurant, and there were empty tables all around. The two sat down and made another pot of tea.

Ji Xiang asked about Uncle Zhang's situation, and Lao Wang frowned, "I actually don't know his recent situation, in fact, if you don't ask me, I plan to go to Zhang's house to find him later." Since marrying Mingzhu, well, this old immortal has lost his spiritual energy. And after that day, he didn't come to Yuqing Restaurant, and the husband in the accounting room went to look for it, and he was also invited out, saying that he was unwell. I felt that something was wrong that day, and I wanted to go and have a look, but I was kicked out by his maid. ”

Is it really sick? Ji Xiang didn't want to go directly to Zhang's house, but after thinking about it on the way, he always felt that things were not so simple. She was afraid that this was Meng Tian's set-up, and she wanted to invite you into the urn.

"Girl, you're here today to find Lao Zhangtou?" Lao Wang said, "It's strange, why is he so memorable these days." ”

"Who else has been looking for it?" Lao Wang was stunned, and quickly answered Ji Xiang's words. The people who came were the guards of the Meng Mansion, one was named Chen Zhong and the other was Lao Wu.

These two people were the strange guards that Ji Xiang met when he was looking for Fat Ni. What did they come to Uncle Zhang for?

"It's said that they are looking for Lao Zhangtou, but I don't think it's like it, they seem to be looking for pearls. However, Mingzhu married to the Meng Steward, how could she still find her parents' family. Girl, looking at your expression, you seem to know a little bit of the inside story, tell me about the old man, I don't think those two people are simple. The fierce gods are vicious, and they feel like they will eat people. ”

After listening to Lao Wang's nonsense, Ji Xiang took a sip of tea, "Don't think about it, it's nothing." I have business to discuss with Uncle Zhang, and I have a lot of recipes, so this is not the first choice of Yuqing. Lao Wang, when are you going to Zhang's house, take me one. ”

"What are you going to do?" Lao Wang still has lingering palpitations about the fierce Ah Tao, this little girl can be regarded as growing up by herself, and she doesn't give any face.

But if he is a big man, forget it if he has no face, if Ji Xiang is driven out, there are so many people over there, maybe he will be said. So Lao Wang will have such a question.

Ji Xiang sighed twice, "Lao Wang, you know what I have on me that is the least valuable." ”

The little old man shook his head, Ji Xiang sneered again, and patted his face with his hand. "The walls are not as thick as me, Lao Wang, remember, when you should want face, when you shouldn't, you should let it out."

Wang: ......

Before going to Zhang's house, Ji Xiang went to Mengfu again. Chen Zhong, who looked at the gate last time, was not there, but changed to two good-faced guys. She didn't move forward until Fat Ni came out, saw her, and came over happily, and then she greeted her.

"Sister Ji Xiang, how do you know that I came out today." Fat Ni was dressed in a stone blue robe, neatly tied up her hair, tall and thin, and a young man.

Next to her was a maid she had never seen before, and it was estimated that she was going to buy it for Meng Huaidong with Fat Ni.

"I heard you talk about it last time, I happened to go to Zhang's house for something, so I came here to wait and see."

Fat Ni nodded, her round eyes wide. "Sister Ji Xiang, are you looking for something with me, you say, I'll listen. It's okay, I don't interfere with the young master's things, I came out mainly to play. This is not a new product from Hunan Cai, I am planning to go to Yun's shop. ”

It's not for nothing in the Meng family, Ji Xiang's expression, Fat Ni can see it at once. She comforted Sister Ji Xiang, said hello to the maid who came out together, and left with Ji Xiang.

On the way, I heard Ji Xiang talk about Meng Tian, as well as Chen Zhong's fifth child, Fat Ni thought about it with her little brain, and said what she knew.

Second Master Meng has never come back in Kyoto, and Steward Meng is not there, I heard that the Meng family's business outside was robbed, so he hurriedly went over to deal with it.

"However, I really don't know Chen Zhong and Lao Wu. They were in the outer courtyard, and I didn't usually see them much. And these two people have weird tempers, we can not mess with them, who will care about their whereabouts. However, I overheard the young master talking to them, as if he was looking for someone...... Find that Zhang Mingzhu. It's also strange, isn't she the lady that Steward Meng just married, did she lose it? ”

Meng Huaidong asked Chen Zhong and Lao Wu to find Zhang Mingzhu? "What else did your little young master say about Meng Tian and Zhang Mingzhu, or if he was related to the shopkeeper Zhang of Yuqing Restaurant."

"I can't remember, Sister Ji Xiang, what happened. Could it be that Zhang Mingzhu really escaped? In this way, the young master has indeed been a little wrong in the past two days, and he usually controls me very strictly in reading books. Recently, it's just for me to read it myself, by the way, the young master also went to Diemanfang to find Jia Wanwan. ”

The more Fat Ni spoke, the more excited she became, grabbed Ji Xiang, and almost ripped her sleeve off.

Why didn't you look for Jiang Liyun, did Jia Wanwan have been living in Diemanfang. Ji Xiang had a slight understanding in his heart, thinking of Hong Xing and the woman who was holding hands with Jia Wanwan that day, just a little bit, as if he could tear that layer of window paper.

Without continuing to think about it, Ji Xiang heard Fat Ni continue: "Other than that, there is nothing abnormal about the young master. ”

"Well, it's best if there's nothing going on." Ji Xiang asked about Fat Ni's current situation, and sent the person to Yun's shop, and then went to meet Lao Wang.

When he met Lao Wang, Ji Xiang observed the terrain of Xiazhang's house, and no one should hide and monitor.

"Girl, I saw your master on the road. Did you promise him to go to Jishitang last time, but then you didn't? ”

Oops, Ji Xiang has long forgotten about it. slapped his forehead, Lao Wang laughed, "This is also his sin, he broke the appointment before, but now it's okay, your apprentice is better than blue." ”

"Stop making fun of me." Ji Xiang felt guilty, it seemed that he had to find an opportunity to apologize to someone, and make it clear that this medical student was really powerless. She is lazy and lazy, and she doesn't have the heart to help the world.

When he arrived at the door of Zhang's house, Lao Wang went up and knocked on the door, and after a while, Ah Tao opened the door. "Why are you, my lord has something to do today, so go back quickly."

Saying that he was about to close the door, Ji Xiang hurriedly pushed his hand, and Ah Tao froze there, "What are you doing here, it's hard to break into private houses in broad daylight!" ”

That's not it, Ji Xiang raised his eyebrows, and with a slight lift of his chin, he held the initiative in his hand. Ah Tao couldn't close the door, he was angry, and he was about to scold Ji Xiang. She is usually gentle, but she also knows a little shrew, and the embarrassed old Wang pressed his ear.

The people around opened the door, poked their heads out, and looked at Ji Xiang. Ji Xiang was not to be outdone, "Uncle Zhang, Uncle Zhang, when will you settle my money." The last time my father-in-law came to Yuqing, your account office didn't give money, saying that you weren't there. Okay, what do you mean by hiding inside now, is it possible that Yuqing is this kind of restaurant that can't be on the table? ”

questioned one after another, making Ah Tao's face even worse. The hands that were originally holding the door were clasped together, Ji Xiang glanced at the increasingly lively door, took a hard breath, and prepared to continue.

"Tao, let them in." A weak male voice came, Ah Tao breathed a sigh of relief, she let Ji Xiang and Lao Wang in, and glared at the lively people again.

After entering, Ji Xiang was dumbfounded. Uncle Zhang was wearing a single coat, and he came out with his coat on.

"Uncle Zhang, what's the matter with you."

"Shopkeeper, what's wrong with you?"

The two spoke in unison.

Shopkeeper Zhang sighed, "It's okay, Ah Tao, go make a pot of tea." Come in and sit with me, and the wind is strong outside. Ji Xiang, I will order the matter of silver money as soon as possible, don't worry, Yuqing Restaurant is a big restaurant anyway, and it will not be in arrears. ”

"Lao Wang, what are you doing, something happened in the restaurant?"

Lao Wang shook his head, "No, I'm worried about you." Ji Xiang's girl also cares about you, but Ah Tao stopped us and didn't let us in, and she was afraid that something would happen to you, so she ...... Don't be angry with children. ”

"Ahem, cough, cough......" After the shopkeeper coughed, his cheeks flushed, and he slowly shook his head after taking a breath. I know. ”

Ji Xiang frowned, she used the divine medical system to see that the shopkeeper Zhang had a heart disease.

"You don't have to worry about my illness, that's how people get old. Alas, it's just that Mingzhu suffers, if I die, Meng Tian will definitely bully her even more. It's my fault, I shouldn't have agreed with the second master's words and let Mingzhu marry in the first place. ”

Sure enough, Uncle Zhang's heart disease is this.

"It's me who hurt Mingzhu." It seems that Uncle Zhang knew about Zhang Mingzhu's escape from Meng Tian's house, and he should be sad for this.

Ah Tao came over to add tea, Lao Wang comforted Uncle Zhang, and Ji Xiang privately asked why Ah Tao wanted to say that to Aunt Lian.

As Zhang Mingzhu said, Ah Tao is a dead horse as a live horse doctor, and in desperation, he pinned his hopes on Aunt Lian, but he didn't expect that the young lady still didn't find it.

After she left, Ji Xiang looked at Uncle Zhang, who had gray temples, and decided to take a risk.

"Uncle Zhang, don't be sad."

Ji Xiang glanced at the room and lowered his voice. "I know where Mingzhu is, but she doesn't want to go back to Meng Tian's house yet, so I need you to follow me to find her."
