Chapter 168: Helping to Find a Child (10,000 Book Coins + for a Beautiful Girl)
Everyone teased the bears and dangdang, of course, mainly the bears. Now Dangdang has given all the "tenderness" to Xia Li and his family, and he is cold to everyone, including Ye Feng, who he liked very much, who made him want to separate himself from his sister.
Watching the bear-like "juggling", laughter rang out from time to time.
Dishes are placed on the tables in the main hall and the side hall. The men ate in the main hall, while Zeng Qingqing and Xia Li ate in the side hall, and they also set up a small table in the main hall, which was specially prepared for Dangdang and Xiongxiang.
In the side hall, Xun Mei whispered to Xun Ying, "Miss Zeng is an official lady and a guest, how can she eat at the same table with that country girl...... The golden dart can't tell the wrong story, right? ”
Xunying whispered, "Miss Xia is also a guest invited by the uncle, and the golden dart will not pass on the wrong word." ”
Xun Mei pouted, and said, "That little girl, a country girl, is so young, she still looks like a fox, she doesn't avoid suspicion at night, and she pesters the uncle for so long." Hmph, does she really think that with her two-point posture, she can fly on the branches and be the uncle's roommate? How could the eldest lady allow these countrymen to enter the mansion......"
The thought of seeing her uncle talking to the country girl for so long at night made her heart ache.
Xunying was so frightened that he "shh ”
In the study room in the outer courtyard, Ye Feng was reading a letter with a very grim expression.
This is a letter sent to him by Qiu Jili, the chief soldier of Hecheng, and asked his cronies.
Mr. Qiu said in the letter that it took a lot of trouble for him to find the little girl named Si'er in a ravine. She was already poisoned and dumb, but judging from her analogy, her son Qiu Zhongshu did not fall into the Wujiang River, but was covered by her and escaped. After so much time, it is unknown whether the child is alive or not. A portrait of the child was also attached to the letter, saying that the child looked like when he was more than two years old, and now that the child is more than four years old, there will definitely be some changes. Please Ye Feng must help find it, I hope the child is still alive......
And a bunch of unfortunate nonsense about the family.
Ye Feng snorted coldly, he also knew that his family was unfortunate. is such a powerful person in the war, but the family is in a mess, and none of the old mothers and daughters-in-law have peace of mind. The women of the Qi family can't marry, but his family marries two......
Ye Feng opened the portrait again, and the painting was a big-headed child. His pupils shrank suddenly, and he looked at the few people in the study, including the messenger, and his face immediately calmed down. He pondered for a moment and asked Ye Li to take the messenger to the guest room to rest and entertain him.
After sending everyone down, Ye Feng looked at the portrait carefully. The picture is a two-year-old milk doll with a tile head, which is very cute and beautiful. Even if there were some changes, Ye Feng could see that this doll looked very similar to Xia Ju. Thinking of the time when the little brother of the Qiu family disappeared and the time when Xia Shan said that Xia Ju was adopted, his heart was turbulent. It can't really be that coincidental, right? It was so coincidental that he couldn't believe it......
The little dart reminded outside the door again, "Uncle, it's time for dinner, it's not good to make the old man and the guests wait for a long time." ”
Ye Feng put the letter and portrait in a drawer and locked it again.
He went to the back hall, and before he entered the house, he saw Xia Li sorting out Xia Ju's clothes that had been torn crooked by bears, and Xia Ju looked at Xia Li with a bright smile.
He couldn't stop sighing in his heart. The orphan daughter and widow of the Xia family finally picked up a lovely son and younger brother, thinking that they would have something to rely on in the future, but this son and younger brother would leave them......
He went into the house and saluted the old man, and the others got up and saluted him.
After sitting down, he glanced at Xia Ju, said a few polite words to Zeng Qingqing and Zeng Lizhang, and glanced at Xia Li again, his eyes met and immediately flashed, but there was also a tacit understanding in it.
Sitting at the table, Zeng Qingqing and Xia Li were also invited to the side hall for dinner.
After the meal, everyone went back to the house, and Ye Feng still invited the old man, who was already very tired, to the outer study, saying that he had something important to discuss.
When Ye Laoguo Gong read the letter and the portrait, he was also taken aback. said, "I have seen the other little brothers of the Qiu family, but this child named Qiu Zhongshu has never seen them. He had been living in Hecheng with Qiu Jili before, and it seemed that he was only taken back to the capital at the end of the previous year, and he disappeared after more than half a year......" looked at the portrait again, and said, "Although the portrait is very similar to the Xia family boy, and the time is right, there is a chance that it will be the same person, but there are always accidents." Didn't you say that the child had a birthmark on his left buttocks, and if you want to see the Xia family's kid, you must be completely sure...... Hmph, it's ridiculous, there are so many blood relatives in the Qiu Mansion, but this child didn't dare to ask for it, but traveled thousands of miles to find Zeng Lin, a distant relative who had never met and turned many corners, and then through Zeng Lin to find you, a person who is not afraid of the women of the Qi family...... Even if it is the same child, the reply to Qiu Jili will not tell the truth for the time being, only that you will try your best to find it. To make the kid surnamed Qiu anxious, knowing that his mother and stepwife are not virtuous, and the only sister-in-law is a little stupid, he dares to send this smart concubine back to Beijing. And that Qiu Ze, who is really confused, tossed by those two women, but it's a pity that their ancestors have earned a great family business......"
Ye Feng also thought so, nodded and said, "I'll immediately repair a letter to Lord Qiu and let his people bring it back tomorrow." If Xia Ju is really Qiu Xiaogongzi, he will also tell him after this big battle. He felt that before he told Lord Qiu, he should tell Xia Li in advance.
Ye Lao Guogong glanced at Ye Feng, those words were originally intended to wait until after the battle to say to him, but at this time he couldn't help but say it, "Marrying a wife should be a virtuous one, and appearance comes second." Your mother has given you a good girl, who is the daughter of the tall man in Dali Temple, and they all say that this girl is wise and wise......"
Before he finished speaking, he was intercepted by Ye Feng, "Grandfather has worked hard all the way, and these weapons borrowed are very good...... and quickly put the letter and portrait into the drawer and locked it, got up and said, "Grandfather, rest well, the military camp has important business, I'll go and take a look." ”
Then, a puff of smoke ran away.
In an instant, he was the only one left in the house, Ye Laoguo was so angry that his beard was raised high, and he scolded, "Stinky boy, stinky boy, don't come back, come back and wait for the whip, I'm angry with Lao Tzu......" raised his hand and smashed a teacup on several cases on the ground.
The old man has two sons and five grandchildren, and those children and grandchildren dare not speak loudly to him, but this eldest grandson is reckless and does whatever he wants, how many times he is so angry that he jumps to his feet, but he is helpless. Every time the eldest son really wanted to beat the stinky boy with a whip, he and the old woman were reluctant......
