Chapter 257: Old Woman
Lord Qin's official position is one of the best in Xilin Hutong, and Mrs. Qin is long-sleeved and good at dancing, and has an excellent relationship with all families, so yesterday's report to the official was also the head of his family.
The Gu family has newly moved in, and the Shan family's own affairs have happened one after another, and they have no intention of saying goodbye to Mrs. Qin, so they will not rob her of her prestige.
Sending people out, Shan first informed everyone in the long room of the news, and then went to the fourth room.
In the Xu family's house, Gu Yunjin flipped through the handwritten book copied to her by the county lord of Shou'an, she read it with relish, it was interesting, and she also communicated with the Xu family.
Xu also took a copy to read.
When this set of scripts came out ten years ago, Xu had not married to the Northland.
At that time, Xu Yan was not a waiter in the Ministry of Works, but just a layman, but the Xu family had been in business for several generations, and there was no shortage of money in the family.
Although Mrs. Min suppressed Xu's in big and small matters, she was not restricted to reading books, Xu had read that set of books at the time, but unfortunately after a long time, I didn't remember many plots, that is, Gu Yunjin mentioned it, which made her have the idea of re-reading.
Being able to read books with Gu Yunjin is also a new experience and experience for the Xu family.
When Shan came in, the two of them were sitting on one side of the wooden kang, and it could be seen that the atmosphere was extremely harmonious.
"How about a mother and daughter reading a book together?" Shan asked with a smile.
Gu Yunjin turned around when he heard the sound, saw the person who came, got up and asked Shan to sit down, and moved the embroidery pier to the side.
She moved naturally, and she didn't have any dissatisfaction when she heard the word "mother and daughter", Shan saw it in her eyes, and couldn't help but think again that the little girl had grown up.
Shan had seen the conflict between Gu Yunjin and Xu in the past, and after entering Beijing, she also saw Gu Yunjin's changes, and after a few months, this change still made her very emotional.
As the eldest daughter-in-law in the family, there is now a Xilin Hutong living in Xilin, Shan naturally hopes that everyone in the family will be harmonious and united, if there is an estrangement and contradictions, she can't leave it alone, that day is really sad and sad.
Shan took a sip of tea and asked Gu Yunjin first: "Did you sleep well last night?" ”
This question was already asked by the Xu family when she got up in the morning, and Gu Yunjin smiled: "I don't recognize the bed, and I slept very well." ”
Although it is in the blue gauze cupboard, the mattress and quilt are clean and soft, very comfortable, and the brazier is hot enough, and there is no uncomfortable place to wake up, compared to Lingbei Zhuangzi, where she has lived for several years, it is more than a little better.
Shan Shi observed carefully, and saw that she had a good complexion and no fatigue on her face, so he put his mind at ease and told them the news brought by Mrs. Qin: "I don't know if it's inconvenient for Yun Qi to ask the little grandfather?" ”
When the Xu family heard that the Shilang Mansion had been robbed, after making sure that only something had been lost, they were relieved, so they asked Gu Yunqi to come.
When Gu Yunqi heard this, he responded with a full mouth and went out to find Jiang Muyuan.
Since he was investigating the thief, Jiang Muyuan should not be in the Ningguo Mansion, so Gu Yunqi did not let people hand over the post, but went straight to the mansion to inquire.
Sure enough, Jiang Muyuan was in the mansion, and he asked Gu Yunqi to wait for him in Suxiang Mansion first.
In the study, in addition to the file of Xilin Hutong, another copy of Qingliu Hutong was added, and Jiang Muyuan looked solemn.
The fifth master still stayed in the two lakes, and the big and small things in the capital were handed over to Yuan Er to take care of.
Yesterday, Jiang Muyuan asked Han Lei to find Yuan Er and asked him to inquire if anyone at the north entrance of Xilin Hutong had seen the response of the thief at night.
Unfortunately, the night was too heavy at that time, and it was snowing, and it was too cold to be cold, and the residents living nearby had already closed their doors to rest, and no one wandered around the streets, and the officers and soldiers and men who were patrolling the city at night could not recall anything, and there was no progress on this line for the time being.
That's it, but Qingliu Hutong immediately went into trouble.
Jiang Muyuan went to Suxianglou and met Gu Yunqi.
As soon as the two of them sat down, before they could say anything, the discussion in the lobby below came up intermittently.
"Xilin, Qingliu, these two alleys are all official masters, you say that the thief is not ......"
"Did you listen to the book yesterday? Do you really think that there are still any thieves who rob the rich and help the poor today? ”
"Why can't we have it? Don't talk about whether the officials are rich or not, the people in the city are really poor, not to mention the distance, just the two alleys in the north and the north in front of them, burned like that, which one is relieved? ”
The tragic situation after the fire was seen by everyone.
Although the yamen has issued subsidies and driven out of the new house, after all, it has hurt its vitality, and the little silver it has made up is really not enough to live a good life.
The residents of these two alleys still had some family backgrounds in the past, but in the capital, there are even poorer families.
Zhumen's wine and meat stink, and there are frozen bones on the road, no matter where they are, they are the same.
It's just that, after all, this is the capital, and at the feet of the Son of Heaven, the government really doesn't dare to freeze to death and starve to death.
There was a lot of discussion below, and the proprietor was afraid that the guests would be impassioned and overlooked, so he quickly asked Dr. Tea to stabilize everyone's emotions, and asked the storyteller to tell the story.
Jiang Muyuan and Gu Yunqi both have good ears, and they basically heard clearly.
Without directly saying the facts of the case, Jiang Muyuan raised his eyebrows and sighed: "As far as I know, some of the people affected by the disaster in the Lianghu area have come to the capital. ”
The people affected by the disaster could not survive in the two lakes, so they fled to other places, or went to relatives and friends, or begged for a living, as the guests said, the world did not dare to starve to death, for this reason, Shaofu Yin was worried after the winter.
The two talked about the two lakes, and finally got to the point.
Jiang Muyuan said bluntly: "There are no clues for a while, and the city gate has also stepped up inspections, and the pawnshop is also staring at ......."
It is not easy to find a thief in the huge capital, and the card at the city gate is not necessarily useful, and the small things are hidden in the sachets in the waist bags, and the officers and soldiers guarding the city cannot search and check them, and the thieves will not be stupid enough to transport out the large things.
Gu Yunqi understood and discussed some other methods with Jiang Muyuan, but these methods were just luck in the final analysis.
It's just that no one thought that the blind cat would have a time when it met a dead mouse.
Listening to the wind, he knocked on the door, walked in quickly, and said: "Shaofu Yin just sent someone to report that someone took the silver of Lord Li's house to the gold and silver shop and wanted to melt it. ”
"Which gold and silver shop?" Jiang Muyuan asked.
Listen to the wind and say: "It's on East Street, the one in front." ”
Hearing this, Jiang Muyuan and Gu Yunqi exchanged a look, left the private room before and after, and went to the shop.
The shopkeeper of the shop stood aside, looking nervous, and even more nervous than the shopkeeper was an old woman in tattered clothes, who shrank in a corner and shivered.
The official pointed out to Jiang Muyuan: "Little grandfather, she is holding the silver bill." ”
