Chapter 369: The Eve of the Return Journey (1)
Pengpu Township, two-bedroom house.
In the hall, Lin sat on the soft couch on the side, and Gu Yutang sat on the bamboo chair next to Lin, took the beauty hammer in the maid's hand, and gently helped Lin beat his legs.
Because Mama Liang was sent by the Lin family to Xianyuanguan to take care of some affairs, the Lin family temporarily transferred Chunxia, who was waiting in Gu Yutang's house, to help the Lin family take care of the trivial affairs of the hall, and take care of the luggage that the Lin family was about to return with the maids and women who were waiting below.
"Grandmother and granddaughter heard that Qi's carriage back to Feng's house had landslided in the middle of the road and unfortunately fell into the valley.
Feng Cheng had already asked the porter in the mountains to look for it, but after searching for several days, he didn't even find a single corpse. Everyone said that they were taken by a wild wolf in the mountains, and the Qi family's body was afraid that it would not be found, but the granddaughter didn't believe what they said. ”
Gu Yutang thrashed Lin's calf with the beauty in his hand, and said slowly in his mouth.
Hearing Gu Yutang say that he didn't believe these rumors in the house, the Lin family wanted to hear what his granddaughter thought about this matter.
Lin motioned to Gu Yutang to stop the movement in his hand, and then glanced at Chunxia who was waiting in the house, Chunxia got Lin's signal, and took the big and small maids who were waiting in the house, and withdrew.
Only one was left to serve the Lin family and Gu Yutang's Ah Hua.
"Sister Tang, you said you didn't believe the rumors in the house. So tell me, what happened when the Qi clan's carriage fell into the valley?" Lin asked slowly with a faint smile.
"Grandmother, since everyone said that Qi's carriage fell into the valley, presumably Qi sat in the carriage and should have died with it.
But who saw with their own eyes that Qi was sitting in that carriage, and the carriage fell into the valley, and she died with it?
Let's not talk about whether the Qi family is dead or not, it is Feng Cheng, Feng Cheng has hired countless porters with silver these days, and went into the mountains to look for the Qi family, but those porters are full of cluelessness, Feng Cheng's move seems to be hiding something. ”
Gu Yutang said it, and it was roughly the same as what the Lin family had guessed in his heart, the Qi family did not fall into the valley with the carriage at all.
I'm afraid that the Qi family and Feng Cheng were worried that Gu Lihua would investigate it afterwards and refused to let them go easily, so they made the Qi family fake their death.
"Sister Tang, why did you see that Feng Cheng spent money and bought a porter to go into the mountains to find someone, what was he hiding?
These days, Feng Chengke is looking for the corpse of the Qi family, and he cries in front of your grandmother Feng every day, saying that he sees people alive and corpses when he dies, and he must find Qi's corpse. Your grandmother Feng can't resist that Feng Cheng, so she has to do what he wants. ”
Glancing down at Gu Yutang beside him, Lin continued to ask Gu Yutang.
Listening to Lin's words, Gu Yutang thought carefully in his heart, if Feng Cheng was really a seed of infatuation, and really cared about Qi in his heart, Qi really fell into the valley and died, he should have taken the porter he bought with money as soon as possible, and went into the mountain to follow the porter to find Qi, instead of handing over the task of finding Qi's to those porters.
But what if the Qi clan hadn't died in the first place?
But it was faked, and it was used to hide people's ears and eyes? Then Feng Cheng naturally didn't have to go into the mountain in person, take the porters below, and look for the Qi clan together, right?
After thinking carefully in his mind, Gu Yutang continued to reply: "Grandmother, if Feng Cheng really has the Qi family in his heart and loves the Qi family, the Qi family died in such an unknown way, the first time is not to go to the mountains to find the corpse of the Qi family, but to go to the county government to report to the official."
With just these few porters, can they find the Qi family in such a dangerous valley? ”
"What Sister Tang said is reasonable, if Feng Cheng really has the Qi family in his heart, I'm afraid that instead of looking for the Qi family's corpse in the first place, he called the government to track down the Qi family's carriage falling into the valley, right?"
As soon as Lin's words fell, Gu Yutang handed a few pieces of dim sum on the small table beside him to Lin's hand.
"Grandmother, we're all going back now, so let's leave this matter alone. This is the copper coin cake that Grandmother Feng called someone to send early in the morning, and the little maid who sent it said that it was made by Grandmother Feng's hand, so that Grandmother can taste it. ”
Lin took the refreshments handed over by Gu Yutang and raised his head to look at her. Seeing her baby granddaughter, she is becoming more and more slim and loved, if she really marries the son of the Jiang family, she can rest assured.
"Sister Tang, your mother has already called the spring cicada to go to Xianyuanguan and arranged the place where we went that night and lived.
Yesterday, I asked Mama Liang to go to Xianyuan to watch it, and if there is anything wrong, I will ask the female crown in the temple to be added. ”
From Gu Yutang's eyes, Lin saw that she was eager to go back sooner, and after being away from home for so many days, she must have missed her mother very much in her heart.
"Mother has already entrusted the spring cicada to go to Xianyuanguan in advance to arrange, presumably Xianyuanguan will not dare to snub us. When we go to say goodbye to Grandmother Feng tomorrow, we will leave for home. ”
Gu Yutang was talking, and a waiting maid came in outside the house to report, saying that Jiang Zhiming was coming.
she
When Lin heard the little maid's report and said that Jiang Zhiming was here, a rare smile appeared on his face.
"Since you're here, hurry up and order someone to invite him in, right? I haven't seen him in the past two days, and I don't know what this Jiang family son has been busy with in the past two days? Lin said Jiang Zhiming in his mouth, looking at Gu Yutang in front of him, his face was already half red.
Gu Yutang also seemed to notice that the Lin family was looking at her, and picked up a fan beside her, covering most of her face.
"Grandmother talked about the Jiang family's son-in-law, and suddenly saw what her granddaughter was doing? Could it be that there is something unclean on my granddaughter's face?"
When Gu Yutang said this, it was not to make the Lin family laugh, nor was it to laugh, but he just replied.
"Silly girl, what's dirty on your face? It's just that as soon as your grandmother mentioned the Jiang family's son-in-law, your face turned red most of the time, aren't you shy?
I haven't seen the Jiang family's son for a few days, I don't know what my sister Tang is thinking in her heart?"
Lin Shi saw that Gu Yutang's face was getting redder and redder, and continued to joke.
"Grandmother, don't talk nonsense. If the son of the Jiang family comes in later and sees the appearance of his granddaughter, what do you want the son of the Jiang family to think?"
Before Gu Yutang finished speaking, he only heard the door 'squeak' and was pushed open, and a deep and powerful voice came in.
"I heard Tang'er talking about me from afar, didn't I see him for two days, and Tang'er started to miss me?"
Gu Yutang was just about to turn back, only to see Jiang Mingming rushing out of that corner, walking behind Gu Yutang, and hugging her tightly with both hands.
Gu Yutang was frightened by Jiang Zhiming's sudden move, and immediately broke free of the hands he was holding her, and scolded him in a loud voice.
"Jiang Zhiming, what are you doing here? Grandmother is still in the house, don't let her old man laugh at the two of us. Gu Yutang said this, but one hand had already tightly held Jiang Zhiming's hand behind him.
