Chapter 53: Eavesdropping
Yangzhou, a famous city through the ages, a place of affection and wealth. It is bordered by Taizhou in the east, Jinling City in the west, and Zhenjiang across the river in the south. A Grand Canal that runs north and south.
Lin Ruhai was originally from Gusu, although the old house is in Jinling, but there are also houses in Suzhou, a total of four into the main house, two into the main house on the left and right, and two hard mountains are connected.
From the right side of the main house past, a slip is a garden, the flower hall curved bridge, the pond rockery, the ancient vine clouds, the wind and lotus sunset, and a few Xuan Pavilion, a few small bridges, although not as good as the capital side, not as good as the old house in Jinling, but the Lin family population is simple, even if there is now more Yun Zhen alone, it is enough.
At first, Lin Lu had been sent to come, and he had already cleaned up, the house and the house were neatly organized, and the two three-entry main rooms were assigned one to Yun Zhen, although there was a separate door to enter and exit, for the sake of Jia's safety, he was worried that his identity would be recognized, which would harm his safety, so he still called him an aunt and nephew, and he still entered and exited from this side.
Daiyu's side has not been cleaned up yet, Wang Xie came, Qingxu saw him in the small hidden pavilion in the courtyard, after listening, said, "You wait a little, I still have something to explain to you when I go back, if you are impatient to wait, come back a little." ”
Wang Xie smiled shyly, "Don't worry, before you come to this garden, we have to repair it, and we have already turned it enough, I have been running for half a day, so I will wait here for a while." ”
Daiyu listened to the light words, and was so shocked that she almost dropped the book, "You mean, that kidnapper still refuses to sell people?" ”
"Yes, Brother Wang said, he had money in his hand, the first girl gave forty or fifty taels of silver, where did he spend so much, at that time there were two, three or four taels in his hand, thinking that this girl and the slave maid had a reason, and she had a father and mother, watching the kidnapper beat and scolded her, so he said that he bought her, put the silver there first, and then go back to find it. Who knows, the crutch is not for sale. ”
Daiyu originally wanted to use the money to give this matter, but now the money is useless, and she is in a hurry, "What about spending more silver?" If he doesn't sell two, three, four, or two, we will have two or three hundred taels, and now I can get it. ”
"The girl is confused, where can she spend two or three hundred taels to buy someone? An ordinary maid can be bought for a few taels of silver. Listen to the girl's meaning, this girl named Yinglian is about ten years old, how much can it be worth? This kidnapper doesn't know what he is crazy about, and he says that he won't sell anything, which is also strange. ”
"What did my brother say?"
He said that he estimated that the crutch was born when he saw his face, and he did not know what his idea was. It's not like a sincere buyer, not only did he sell him, but he also beat him out, saying that it was a girl from his relatives, and he was crazy to sell his daughter. ”
"Didn't you get the wrong person?"
The slave asked, it couldn't be wrong, the girl's brother inquired privately, and it was indeed bought. The first person didn't live here, and then he moved over, and he didn't know it, but when he asked, the girl said more or less, and after going back and forth, he knew it. ”
"Oh, could it be that as soon as Brother Wang Xie leaves, he will move again?"
"Sure enough, the girl guessed that he really moved again, but it happened that the brother of the Wang family kept staring, so he didn't lose it." Qingxu now knows that Daiyu's dream is true, and she is very anxious about the girl, so she can't help but say, "But what should I do now?" ”
completely forgot that Daiyu was just a four-year-old child, and when she reacted, she couldn't help but say, "It's better for the slave to beg Father-in-law Yan, and he didn't say that it was a girl, or the previous set of statements, only that it was a relative of the slave and the maid, and now that he is here, he knows that his relatives have been abducted and sold, and he knows his whereabouts, so there is no reason not to stretch out his hand." ”
"Aren't you stupid? Once this matter is in front of the eyes of people like them, how can they not find out clearly? You are a royal person, just like us, you are easy to fool? Daiyu couldn't help laughing, "It's not difficult to do this, because we weren't here before, we just said that we would let Brother Wang Xie keep an eye on it, but now that it's here, it's a must-have, so we start to move." Are Yinglian's parents still there? ”
"Yes, the slave didn't forget to ask. I thought that he was going to go to his father-in-law, but the brother of the Wang family specially went to his house to ask for a glass of water to drink, and the master of the Zhen family was also a person who was not very familiar with affairs, so he talked to the brother of the Wang family inside and out. Brother Wang didn't forget what happened in the girl's dream, persuaded him, and said that if he went to run, how would he look at Mrs. Feng, I didn't have to make Mrs. Feng look up, and said that he lived in Jinling City, and heard that someone abducted and sold children, so he left a living mouth first, and only waited for the girl to come and then talk about what to do. ”
Daiyu nodded when she heard this, and said with a smile, "I originally said that Brother Wang Xie is a person who can do things, but now it is really not bad." This thing is not difficult to do, since Wang Xie's brother had left this life before, how can he not use it now? You tell him to do it, and if there's anything, I'll go back to my mother." ”
Qingxu laughed when she heard it, it was rare for the girl to be young, but she could say such responsible words, so she laughed more and more, "What the girl said is that the slave maid will go and say, this is a matter of accumulating virtue, if there is really a good result, it is also a round family, and even the Bodhisattva is to be blessed." ”
"That's exactly what I said."
Yun Zhen is here, it is necessary to take a good look at this garden, walk around, see the whole garden, stacked mountains and lead water, water turns with the mountain, the mountain is alive because of the water, the trees and mountains are mainly ponds, slightly embellished with some pavilions and pavilions, the hills and ravines are hidden before and after the rockery, and the trail is not the simple method of passing through the secluded in the north, but the tunnel, the bank, the flying beam, the small bridge or a small boat to step on, like a secret realm, while walking, while secretly amazed in my heart.
He just walked to the edge of a green bamboo bush, and in the sound of dragons and phoenixes, mixed with words, Yun Zhen couldn't help but stop.
A cornice came out from the edge of the bamboo forest, and the voice came from, "I have already told the girl about this, and my brother also knows that I am not familiar with life here, so I have to go to the girl for help, so for the sake of relatives, I want to pull her out of the fire, and the girl said that this matter will be entrusted to my brother, and I have full authority to do it, one is to keep myself safe, and the other is that if there is anything, there is still the girl's wife." ”
Yun Zhen's eyes fell on Yan Duo, poor Yan Duo is not a person who stares at Daiyu for twelve hours a day, his face was suddenly dazed and his forehead was full of sweat, and he couldn't help kicking the little eunuch beside him, "Don't go and inquire about it yet." ”
He lowered his voice, and the little eunuch hurriedly flew up and ran out, not daring to make a sound. It's a pity that Yun Zhen is hiding here at this time, and the ins and outs of the matter are eavesdropping clearly, and nothing is inquired about there. This matter, only three people before and after knew about it, there was still Mama Wang, but now, she is not there.
