Chapter 338: Sunset (5)
However, after eating half a plate of duck tongue, Huan Xuan didn't wait for Tao Qian to come over, and even Jiang Rui didn't appear.
He was immediately alert, and hurriedly ordered another maid waiting outside the house to go to the outer courtyard to invite Steward Yuan over.
At this time, Jiang Rui came back with a cower, as if he was frightened, and he couldn't speak.
She knelt down tremblingly and said to Huan Xuan: "Master, master, Mr. Tao is not here, I, I, the slave and maid can't find him......"
Huan Xuan raised his eyebrows and asked, "Can't find it?" Don't the people who are waiting in his house know where he goes? ”
Jiang Rui hurriedly replied: "The slave asked Sister Han Fang from the Water Pavilion, and she said that Mr. Tao had not come back since he went out in the afternoon, and he had not seen anyone yet." ”
As she spoke, she involuntarily looked scared.
Huan Xuan felt that she didn't tell everything she knew, so she asked gently: "Don't be afraid, it's none of your business, what else have you thought of, just tell me." ”
Jiang Rui lowered her head resignedly, but she didn't dare to speak, and only after a long time did she say intermittently: "In the afternoon, the slave maid, the slave maid and the girl inadvertently heard the two Bian girls talking......
What does this have to do with Tao Qian? Huan Xuan was a little puzzled, but he still asked with a pleasant face: "What did they say, if you tell me the truth, I will definitely not blame you." ”
Jiang Rui's heart was relieved, and she said clearly that she had told Huan Xuan all the words she heard in the afternoon, but she didn't say that it was the two of them hiding under the wall and eavesdropping.
After hearing this, Huan Xuan didn't look angry at all, but looked up to the sky and toasted, laughed loudly, and said happily: "It's not a big deal, fair lady, good gentleman, even if a lady chases a gentleman, it is very interesting." ”
But where did these two go?
At this time, Yuan Wei came, he stood outside the door respectfully, and said with full etiquette: "Master, what is your dispatch to call the villain?" ”
Huan Xuan smiled and pointed at Jiang Rui and said: "Originally, it was because I couldn't find Tao Qian, so I asked you to ask, but now this maid said that Tao Qian, this kid, has some entanglements with the maid in my house, but I don't know if it has anything to do with his disappearance, I guess Tao Qian is afraid that I will blame, but I am afraid that he has escaped with the maid." ”
Yuan Wei's heart tightened at first, and when he saw that Huan Xuan's face was peaceful, he was a little happy to see it, so he breathed a sigh of relief and said: "Sure enough, as you expected, the villain did send a carriage to Mr. Tao at dusk, and he said that he was going out to play, because it was late at that time, and he was a distinguished guest in the house, so the villain chose a few good horses for him, so that he could go back quickly." ”
He recalled, and continued: "There was indeed a woman in a hat beside him at that time, and the villain guessed that it was a maid serving him, so he did not stop him. ”
When Huan Xuan heard this, he couldn't help patting Jiang Rui's shoulder and said, "Sure enough, you said it, I'm afraid that this kid has run away now." ”
Jiang Rui had other worries in her heart, and she couldn't say it clearly, so she could only squeeze out a smile and say to Huan Xuan: "Slave, let's go and confirm whether Bian Qian is also missing." ”
This is a strange thing to say, if it weren't for Bian Qian being taken away by Tao Qian, who could the woman next to Tao Qian be now?
However, Huan Xuan didn't notice her obviously suggestive words, just picked up the wine glass again, waved his hand and said, "You go, now I can only have a drink with Manager Yuan." ”
Yuan Wei was obviously a little flattered, and hurriedly stepped forward to pour wine for Huan Xuan, and said affectionately: "Master, the villain is just serving you, how dare you drink at the same table with the master." ”
Huan Xuan didn't refuse, let him stand beside him and serve him, and said as if talking to himself: "Even Tao Qian, an honest boy, didn't hesitate to offend me for love, and eloped with my maid, it can be seen that love is really intoxicating." ”
Yuan Wei didn't dare to take this over, he was just busy pouring wine and vegetables for his master.
After a few glasses, I heard Huan Xuan say again: "You say, I am imprisoning a woman who doesn't have me in my heart at all, what's the point, she is just smiling at me, but also to let me relax my vigilance, even if it seems to be for me to give advice, I have to guard against her secretly harming me, really, there is no fun at all!" ”
Yuan Wei hurriedly persuaded: "Master, your identity is different, you are the master of Jingzhou and Jiangzhou, in other words, you are the master of half of the imperial court today, what do you want, or what do you want, how can you not get it." According to the villain, it's just that the sister-in-law doesn't know the current affairs. ”
Huan Xuan shook his head and said, "You don't understand, you really don't understand, she is the same person as me, the only person in this world who can understand me, just for this, I can't let her go." ”
Yuan Wei saw that Huan Xuan had obviously drunk too much, so he hurriedly persuaded: "Master, I'll go get you some hot water, you wash your face, maybe it will be more comfortable." ”
Huan Xuan stopped talking, but drank a few glasses in succession, remembered another woman, and got up and said to Yuan Wei: "You don't care about me, I'll go to Xu's place to rest for a while." ”
With the Xu family taking care of it, I am afraid that it will not be more proper, Yuan Wei felt very reliable, and hurriedly helped Huan Xuan and said, "The villain will accompany you over." ”
It's not a long road, because of Huan Xuan's heavy body, the two of them have also walked for a long time.
Miao Yin was a little at a loss when she saw Xun Xunran's Huan Xuan, she asked Yuan Wei quietly: "Before Huan Lang came to me, did anything happen?" ”
She thought that Huan Xuan was rejected by Hagi Niang again, so she drank like this, Huan Xuan drank very well, and she would never be confused after a few drinks.
Yuan Wei replied helplessly: "Mr. Tao over there seems to have eloped with the maid in the house, and I don't know what knot he touched the master's heart, so he kept drinking." ”
Miaoyin's heart was sour, and she only felt that the familiar feeling of pain had surfaced again, but she just nodded with a smile and said to Yuan Wei: "I understand, I have worked hard for you, I will order someone to take care of the master, you go back to the outer courtyard first." ”
She pulled the thin quilt on the side, covered Huan Xuan who was lying on her couch, and calmed down, then she walked out as if she was determined, and said to Xi'er who was holding the tiger: "Xiao Shizi just leave it to me and Aunt Gu, and Huan Lang ordered you to serve him." ”
Xi'er's face immediately turned a little pale, but Miaoyin didn't wait for her to spit out the words of evasion before pretending to be relaxed and said, "The master is just drunk and ordered you to serve him to rest, what are you worried about?" ”
Her tone changed, and she said solemnly: "Didn't you tell me that you understood everything before, why doesn't it seem like you have figured it out now?" Or am I, the master, unable to send you now? ”
Xi'er's heart can be said to be a thousand turns, but the master has said so, it is impossible to refuse now, she can only reply in a low voice: "The slave understands." Then he stiffened, like a prisoner going to the execution ground, and reluctantly turned and went into the inner chamber.
