Chapter 59: Peach Forest
Today is the Hundred Flowers Festival in Yunzhou City, and Chongwen Street is the main street leading to the riverside venue.
In addition, it is a begging festival, even the most demanding families, the women in the family have to come out to play.
The streets were full of horse-drawn carriages, and I didn't want to turn the corner with the carriages of the two families colliding together.
Suddenly, the carriage in front couldn't go, and the carriage behind squeezed forward, and now no one could get out.
Yun Xiang looked at it and couldn't help but feel anxious for a while.
I don't know what's going on, the carriage that the lord and lady were riding in front, and even the carriage of the second lady have passed.
Only the carriage of the master of the house was about to cross this street, and it was blocked here.
Soon someone went over to make a fuss and persuade him, and after a while, the intersection slowly opened.
Yun Xiang hurriedly turned back.
The coachman who had just driven had parked the carriage on the side of the street, and she had just walked away from the carriage when she found that the driver was gone.
She didn't know where she went, and she was stunned.
An ominous premonition struck, and she hurriedly lifted the curtain of the carriage, and the whole person seemed to be struck by a thunderbolt.
Yun Xiang looked at the empty carriage and the snow pas thrown by her master on the wheel, and her mouth suddenly became dry.
"Miss! Miss!! Yun Xiang panicked
Could it be that the master was so upset that he went to the tea shop on the side to eat tea?
Yun Xiang's face turned pale, and she hurriedly searched for it along the shops on the street.
Garment shops, jewellery shops, silk shops, tea houses and even restaurants.
looked for it in a circle, and there was no shadow of his own master.
Yun Xiang suddenly cried urgently, shouting the name of her master over and over again, but she didn't dare to cry out loud considering the reputation of her master.
She only said that she was separated from her master, and the people on the street thought she was a fledgling little girl, but she lost her master.
However, when I asked people on the street, they didn't see Shen Yuzhu's figure.
Could it be that such a big living person disappeared from this bustling street?
Yun Xiang was completely stunned, and realized that the matter was already very serious, and it was not something that she could solve as a little girl.
She hurriedly rushed to the shop of the young master Shen Zhiyi, and Shen Zhiyi happened to go to another place.
Yun Xiang endured the panic, wiped a handful of tears, hired a donkey, and rode straight to the flower shed built by the Shen family by the river.
At this time, the flower boat on the river is slowly coming, and the singer on the boat is singing.
The river is full of colorful sheds, and the laughter and laughter are not lively.
The Shen family's color shed is next to the Lu family's and is the second largest shed.
In the past, the Shen family did not have such a high profile, but now that the aunt and grandmother of the Lu family have married into the Shen family, it is the first time to bring the ladies of the house out to play.
Lu Ying is a strong person, even if she is a housewife, she must be the best.
But Lu Ying, the mother of the head of the Shen family who was sitting in the shed today, seemed a little absent-minded.
She frequently looked at the intersection of the river, and from time to time asked the girl around her about something.
"Ru Rong, go and take a look, is Sister Yu here?" Lu Ying held the shelf and drank tea.
I felt the slightest bit wrong in my heart.
When I passed Chongwen Street just now, I didn't know what was wrong, and suddenly there was chaos.
The various wagons crashed together and mixed together.
The carriages of each family could not be found in any order.
Either your carriage has spilled into the sequence of my carriage, or the carriage of the east family has followed behind the carriage of the western family.
She and Shen Xiaowen had just taken the carriage to the river, but found that Sister Yu'er's carriage was missing, and she didn't know if she had lost it.
Shen Xiaowen had to meet with several state officials in Yunzhou City, preside over the venue, and have a few drinks of poetry.
If she was late, it would not be appropriate, she had to take Shen Zhishu into the venue first and sit in the Shen family's shed.
At first, Lu Ying thought that Shen Yuzhu's carriage should arrive later.
But now that half a pillar of incense has passed, Shen Yuzhu's carriage has not even seen a shadow.
At this moment, the more Lu Ying waited, the more panicked he became.
She hurriedly sent Ru Rong to wait at the intersection again, and if she couldn't wait for anyone, she ordered the guards to go back to find it.
"Madame!" Ru Rong suddenly panicked and walked over with Yun Xiang beside Shen Yuzhu.
Yun Xiang hurriedly knelt down at Lu Ying, but she couldn't help but panic and tremble, "Madam, it's not good, the eldest lady is gone!" ”
Although she spoke in a low voice, the ladies of other families could not hear her.
But the people on the Shen family's side heard it clearly.
"What did you say?" Lu Ying stood up suddenly, his face changing drastically.
"Madam, sit down and say," the mother on the side hurriedly glanced at the colorful sheds around.
Sure enough, the ladies sitting in the shed looked at them in surprise.
Could it be that the daughter of the Shen family has an accident again?
People, especially these noble ladies in Yunzhou City, don't have any pastime on weekdays.
Now looking at the unusual situation in the Shen family's color shed, they have become gossipy one by one.
As soon as Wang Ma reminded her, Lu Ying hurriedly sat back in her position, her hands clenched tightly into fists.
She is worried about death now, I don't know how a good person has disappeared?
Yunxiang, the girl next to Sister Yu, has always been calm and moderate, and she will definitely not talk nonsense.
"How did it disappear, you start from the beginning!" Lu Yingming Yunxiang moved a small stool to sit beside her and explained the matter in detail.
In the eyes of outsiders, it looks like the little girl of the Shen family is telling the housewife something, and she can't see anything wrong.
Yun Xiang told Madame in detail, although her voice trembled, she could be regarded as clearly expressed.
The more Lu Ying listened, the more his face sank, and his brows furrowed fiercely, but he didn't dare to show anything.
Sister Yu was obviously killed, and it is unknown whether she is alive or dead.
But if she, a mother, can't hold her breath, in case Sister Yu comes back, her reputation will be ruined.
This matter cannot be done, it can only be done in secret.
"Wang Ma!"
"Madame!" Wang's mother was also pale, and hurriedly stepped forward.
Lu Ying said in a low voice, "Mother Wang, you go to find Brother Zhe'er, he is the eldest young master of the Lu family, let him find a way to investigate." Remember not to stir up the crowd, but to be steady. ”
"Yes, ma'am!" Wang Ma hurriedly turned around and left.
"Ru Rong, you go and instruct the people of our former Lu family to check the nearby casinos and inns for me!"
"If you look suspicious, catch it first, and it is better to catch it by mistake than to miss the fish."
Ru Rong hurriedly answered and hurried away.
Yun Xiang watched her lady behave in a well-behaved manner, and suddenly her heart was not as panicked as before.
Shen Zhishu, who was sitting on the side, sneered and said, "Mother, why are you so panicked
