Chapter 70: Searching for the Person
At that time, Li County's wife Wang had nothing to do for many years, and there were no suitable children in the clan, so it happened that there was an embroidery girl with excellent craftsmanship in the shop where she was married, and she was pulling a half-old male baby alone, so she got her mind.
and the embroidery girl was born well, and she was quite diligent and thrifty, so the Wang family took charge and carried her and the boy into the Li family as an aunt.
The embroidery girl's child is naturally Li Xu.
“…… It's a pity that after the death of the pioneer lady of the Li County Ling family, the new one who married in was a powerful one, not only gave birth to a son and a daughter, but also obeyed Li County Lingzhi, had biological children, and a wife blowing the pillow wind, I am afraid that this Li eldest son will not have a good time at home! ”
Mama Kong sighed very much.
Poria was stunned for a while after hearing this, and then said: "I didn't expect Li County's housework to be messy and ridiculous, if it wasn't for Mama Kong, I thought it was only in the book!" ”
After speaking, he pushed Qin Miaoyan, "Girl, what do you think?" ”
How else can you look at it, but it's just a person who can't help himself.
Qin Miaoyan nodded Poria's forehead, "You can just talk about these things in private, don't tell others." ”
Mama Kong and Poria both nodded obediently.
Qin Miaoyan pondered for a while.
Suddenly, she stopped the carriage.
"Xiuzhu, can you go to the street for me to buy some rouge gouache?" Qin Miaoyan called Xiuzhu with a little apology on her face: "I forgot to buy it, I want to trouble you to make a trip." ”
Of course, Xiuzhu would not refuse Qin Miaoyan's request, and agreed repeatedly: "The second girl has lifted the maid, and the maid will go!" ”
The carriage stopped beside a restaurant, and the shop selling rouge gouache was long gone.
When Xiuzhu ran away, Qin Miaoyan got out of the car and told the coachman to go upstairs.
Li Xu followed behind for a while, watching Qin Miaoyan's master and servant enter the famous restaurant Piaoxiang House on the street.
Of course, he didn't have Zhou Jin's quirk of following the young and beautiful little lady, but he was just afraid that Qin Miaoyan would encounter some trouble so he followed her and protected her.
Thinking like this, Li Xu only hesitated for a moment, then took off the eye-catching official clothes on his body, and quietly entered the Piaoxiang Building with his front and back heels.
Qin Miaoyan walked a few steps slowly, and Xiao Er came up and said with a smile: "What does the girl want to eat and drink?" The shop has it all! ”
"I want a single room, two bowls of almond tea, and a chestnut cake." Qin Miaoyan patted Mama Kong's hand, and Mama Kong hurriedly took out the broken silver from her sleeve and handed it to Xiao Er.
Xiao Er led the master and servant upstairs and entered the room, and ran away with the money.
"Girl's lunch is going to be eaten here?" Mama Kong asked curiously.
"There's something about it, too." Qin Miaoyan bowed.
After a while, Xiao Er came in with refreshments, and when he closed the door and bowed back, he could vaguely see a person squatting not far from the door.
"Invite Li Gongzi in." Qin Miaoyan took a sip of tea.
Poria and Mama Kong looked at each other.
After a while, Li Xu walked in with his sleeves up, and when he saw two bowls of tea on the table, he immediately smiled: "The girl invited me to tea?" ”
"Hmph." Poria immediately gave him a blank look.
Li Xu put down the tea in his hand and scratched his head, "Miss Poria, where did I offend you?" ”
Hey, this guy doesn't even know where he offended her?
Poria was about to mix him, and when she caught a glimpse of Qin Miaoyan's eyes, she had to stop talking.
"Another plate of chestnut cake." Qin Miaoyan was a little helpless.
Mama Kong knew that Qin Miaoyan was going to break them apart, but this ...... Lonely men and widows in the same room...... Not quite right?
Especially the eldest young master of the Li family, who has a bad reputation.
"Mama don't worry, just say a few words."
Hearing Qin Miaoyan say this, Mama Kong and Poria couldn't say anything more, so they had to close the door and retreat.
Li Xu watched the two leave with interest, and his eyes turned back to Qin Miaoyan.
"Is the girl looking for me?"
Qin Miaoyan bowed her head, didn't go around in circles with him, took out a handkerchief from her arms, and put it in front of Li Xu, "I want to ask Gongzi to help me go to Lanling to find someone." ”
Li Xu looked at the big silver ingots lying in the center of the handkerchief in a daze, and his mind was a little confused......
Silver, how could she have so much silver in a girl's house under the fence?
Moreover, didn't he say that he owed her a favor, and why did she give him money?
"I don't want it," Li Xu pushed back, frowning, "I said I owed you a favor." ”
"Because this matter is a little troublesome, Childe should take it."
Qin Miaoyan smiled: "This journey will definitely cost a lot of silver taels, so my father Lord Li may have to interrogate, than if you suddenly disappeared and returned, wouldn't it be more pleasing for Lord Li to come back with silver taels?" ”
"But I'm a big man, and I can't take your little girl's private money," Li Xu muttered, "I won't accept it!" ”
"If Childe doesn't accept it, then I will have to find someone else." Qin Miaoyan stretched out his hand to retrieve the handkerchief.
"Oh, no! Who said I wouldn't help you anymore! ”
Li Xu hurriedly put the handkerchief in his pocket along with the silver, and his tone was quite helpless: "Where did you get so much money?" ”
He didn't think it was good to take it, what if she didn't have the money to spend?
"The money is gone, and you can make it again." Qin Miaoyan said.
Qin Jingyan stuffed it for her when she left, otherwise she really didn't have much money, and the dowry eldest lady and the old lady wouldn't give it to her for the time being, if she couldn't gain a firm foothold in the family, it wouldn't belong to her in the future.
So she had to find a way to make money on her own, but fortunately, there was no endless way.
"His name is Huang Ling, and he was my father's long-term follower, and he was also the shopkeeper of our family, not the Qin family."
Qin Miaoyan looked out the window, looked at the clear blue sky, and said slowly: "But after my father and aunt died, I haven't seen him again, but I have a hunch in my heart that he is still alive and is now in Lanling." ”
"Hey, why is it different from what is said outside?" Li Xu was very stunned.
He heard the story that it was because the aunt of the Qin family abandoned his wife and took a courtesan as a concubine, so he was angry and killed her mother.
But how could he not hear the slightest hint of complaint from Qin Miaoyan's tone...... On the contrary, there is still a bit of nostalgia?
"You also said it, it's rumors out there." Qin Miaoyan glanced at him.
In the past, Li Xu was kicked out of the house by Li County's order, although he was not caught raping in this life, but his stepmother was unkind, and his adoptive father had a biological son, according to Li Xu's unruly nature, it was only a matter of time before he left the Li family with his mother.
Now he can be respected because he is the son of the county commander, but when he leaves the Li family one day, he is penniless and unable to move an inch.
Li Xu felt that Qin Miaoyan's eyes staring at him were deep and distant, and he didn't feel a little embarrassed.
Isn't it good for a little lady to stare at people like this?
He coughed lightly, "That, that, why didn't I understand?" ”
"Childe doesn't need to understand for the time being, just go to Lanling for me to find this person."
Qin Miaoyan paused, and then said, "Gongzi can go to the Rejuvenation Hall in Lanling to have a look, but I'm afraid he has changed his name and surname now." But I remember that he had a scar at the end of his left eyebrow, and he didn't like to talk on weekdays. If Childe finds him, he doesn't need to talk to him, just help me make sure he's there. ”
In the past, when she found Huang Ling, his body was already at the end of his crossbow.
He told her how her parents had offended the He brothers and were unjustly killed, and how he had escaped the investigation of the He brothers, and had unknowingly stayed in the Rejuvenation Hall in Lanling for many years.
At that time, he was the only one in the entire Jiang family except for her and Poria who survived.
He wanted to avenge his lord and wife, but because of his low status, he could only watch the enemy ascend to the sky step by step and was helpless.
In order not to delay Qin Miaoyan, who was already married, he had to go back to his hometown in Jiangsu and Zhejiang with a dead heart, but he didn't want to see Qin Miaoyan for the last time before he died......
"The girl said she was looking for him, but how could she find him and not explain a few words?" Li Xu was a little strange.
Huang Ling is cautious, otherwise he would not change his name and surname, and even reluctantly remove the black mole at the end of his eyebrows, and he has not said his words with a Jiangsu-Zhejiang accent for many years.
Li Xumao rashly recognized each other, afraid that he would only ask Huang Ling to suspect.
Therefore, unless she goes to Lanling to see Huangling in person......
Not only that, but one day she will get rid of the He brothers with her own hands!
"Childe, are you asking too much?" The corners of Qin Miaoyan's mouth curved slightly, and he looked at Li Xudao.
It was clearly smiling, but Li Xu never saw half a smile in her eyes.
"Yes, it's a bit much," Li Xu smiled and hurriedly changed the conversation: "Does the girl have anything else to explain?" You gave too much silver, but as long as I do this for you, I will lose a lot of money for you! ”
Qin Miaoyan thought about it, and really said another one.
Li Xu almost spit out the almond tea he had just drunk, "What, girl, say it again?" ”
