Chapter 1 Unpredictable chaos
Mama Li blew her nose with a handkerchief, and said angrily in her mouth: "In the five years of that old man, I have asked him no less than 10,000 times, and he has pretended to be deaf and dumb 10,000 times, and his mouth can't be pry out like a mussel shell." ”
Sun shook his head and sneered twice: "In this world, except for the dead, there are no unspeakable words, there are cold palaces and raccoon clothes bureaus in the palace, there are trial halls and purgatory in the yamen, and the big families have family laws and family rules, each with its own number of ways. ”
Hearing this, Mama Li hurriedly got up and went to Sun's side, knelt down and bowed, and kept saying: "I don't know anything about the old woman, how can I come up with any exquisite methods, now I only ask the eldest lady for mercy, for the old slave to be the master, as long as I can find my dumb grandson, in the next life to make cattle and horses, in order to repay the kindness of the eldest lady." ”
Wanqing's fingers were poked by the tip of the water chestnut, and they were red, but it hurt, and she didn't have the heart to eat again.
I was bored when I heard them talking, and wanted to get up to leave, but she was ordered by Sun to sit down, and she didn't dare to disobey, so she had to play with the handkerchief in her hand.
Sun looked at Mama Li again, and said silently: "Fight the snake and hit the three inches, capture the thief and capture the king first, you have to shoot at his vital point, then Qin Zhu is drunk and dreams all day long, as if he has nothing to worry about, don't be deceived by him, you see that you are like a crazy demon for a grandson, where can he be cold?" If you need manpower, just ask me for it. ”
Mama Li weighed these words repeatedly, and suddenly became enlightened: "The eldest lady refers to Qin Xing?" ”
"I didn't say anything." Sun took a piece of snow lotus, watery and implicated wisps of silk, took a bite, chewed until swallowed into the throat, and the tip of the tongue could taste the light sweetness.
It's still too early, and it's still tender.
Mama Li said with a smile that she wanted to ask in detail with her old face, but Sun looked lazy and asked five questions and answered one sentence, so she couldn't stay any longer, so she had to bow down and leave.
There was no one in the room for a while, and Wan Qing asked curiously: "Mama Li's words are very interesting, Cousin Shunyu is a woman?" Does my mother think it is possible? Thinking about it, he covered his mouth and smiled: "If he changes into women's clothes, he is also very beautiful." ”
"That old guy is crazy." Sun Shi was quite disapproving: "You want Shun Yu to study hard in Suzhou Mansion, through the county examination, the government examination, and the hospital examination, and now he is studying in the Guozi Prison, and then there are township examinations, will examinations and palace examinations, not to mention academic talents, non-women are difficult to match, as far as he eats and sleeps with the prisoners, if it is a daughter, how can he not see through." ”
Wanqing felt that this was very reasonable, and asked with a smile: "Even if my mother doesn't believe it, how can I teach her how to find out the driver's message?" ”
Sun picked up the tea bowl to eat tea, glanced at her, and whispered: "Her dumb grandson is really strange, a few days ago I heard Mrs. Zhang say in private, the capital has not been peaceful in recent years, there is a case that has not been solved for a long time, a gang of several people, will rob men, women and children, as small as shaving hair and eyelashes, cutting eyes, nose, ears and lips, as big as taking the heart, lungs and gallbladder, unloading arms and thighs, and then selling it to the person who needs to ask for it. Her husband is a foreigner in the Criminal Department, which should be true. ”
"Is the mother suspected that the dumb servant was robbed or sold to have his organs cut, or is he suspected that the second uncle is involved? He is an envoy of the Tai Hospital, and his medical skills are not a problem. Wanqing's face changed, and the little girl fell to the bottom, and she was scared.
"Don't be afraid, your second uncle doesn't look like it, my mother is just guessing, so it's good to make a move and let that old man go to the bottom of the matter." Sun didn't repeat it again, and said: "You are close to the end of the year, he married into a powerful family, the back house has not seen peace, you need to understand the power and strategy when dealing with people, you often come to my room from tomorrow, and now teach you the truth of life, it is not too late." ”
When it comes to marriage, girls are always upset like a deer.
Wanqing was no exception, her face was slightly red, she smiled and nodded in agreement, and the two talked again and dispersed without mentioning it.
..........
After dinner, seeing that it was still early, Shun Yu forced Mason to go out of the house together to find the residence of Qin Xing and his father Qin Zhu.
The coachman in the house worked hard, and there was no punctuality day and night, so he provided food and lodging in a remote yard, so that he could be on call at any time.
Qin Zhuyuan also lived in the mansion, and later he was so drunk that he broke his tendons and feet, and he couldn't drive the carriage anymore, so he was driven out by the Luo steward for a reason, Qin Zhong took pity on him and allocated some money every month, so he rented a shelter outside to live.
Fortunately, it is not far from Qinfu, through the Golden Cap Alley, and then across a Panjia Bridge, turn into the narrow vegetable market lane, because it is a night market, the wet shoes of the soup on the ground, and the abandoned stumps and rotten leaves in the east and a piece in the west, are dirty and messy in the eyes.
Most of the vendors who sold sparse fruits closed their stalls and left, and in the remaining few cases of selling meat, three or five people stood in a row. There are also sellers of live fish, with willow leaves strung with red and tender gills, soaked in a shallow bucket of clear water, the fishy flesh mixed with the smell of rotten vegetable leaves, straight to the nose.
Shun Yu frowned, followed Mason in the dark alley left and right, finally stopped in front of the dilapidated house, pushed open the courtyard door, only to see the black hole inside, stepped into the threshold and walked forward for more than ten steps, only to see a window, there is a dim candlelight swaying.
But the door opened with a "squeak", "Who is there?" "It was Qin Xing who drank boldly.
"Your uncle!" After Mei Xun finished roaring, he sneered, Qin Xing hurriedly raised the fire fold, and when he saw that it was Mei Xun and Shun Yu who came in the bright light, he was stunned, and ran to him, and asked in a panic: "Why is the master here?" Here it was cramped and dark, and carefully tripped and wrestled. ”
As he spoke, he lowered the fire fold under Shun Yu's feet and welcomed him all the way.
The house was no better, there was no woman to clean it up, it was dirty and messy, and the people who were suffocated couldn't breathe.
Shun Yu asked Qin Xing to open the window sash, and a cool breeze went in and out, making the whole person feel refreshed, she looked around, found a half-old square table, and sat on a bench.
There was still Qin Xing's father, Qin Zhu, sitting at the table, who didn't know what was going on, and he didn't care about people.
In front of him was an empty wine cup with a broken corner, and next to it was a carved kiln wine jar, which was new and new, and when the lid was lifted, a clear aroma of wine flowed in his nose.
There are not many dishes to eat, only a few dishes such as fried gluten with green vegetables, and a bowl of boiled noodles in white water, sprinkled with red peppers, and most of them have been eaten.
Qin Xing was stirring in the stove for a long time before throwing the pot and serving tea, but when he saw the yellow seeping in the bowl, it was really difficult to eat.
Shun Yu smiled and told him not to be busy, he was not thirsty after eating a belly of tea.
Qin Xing was even more reluctant to go, but he was helpless, and turned his head and called his father ashamedly: "I serve in front of the young master cousin, you have never seen him, he is the best for his son in the Qin Mansion." ”
Qin Zhu heard that he moved, and then slowly looked at Shun Yu, his eyes were cloudy and unfocused, and somehow, old tears suddenly fell.
