(16) Unintentional words reveal the truth
"Mr. Wen, Mr. Wen."
The east of the city, inside the jade house.
Wen Xianchu was sitting under the tree reading a book in the afternoon sun, but suddenly he heard someone whispering to him. After listening carefully, Wen Xianchu was sure that the sound he heard just now was not an illusion, but he looked around, but he didn't know where the sound came from.
"Mr. Wen, up there."
Fan Yao, who was hiding among the branches and leaves, leaned out a little and continued to call.
"Your Excellency?"
Looking at the person who suddenly appeared between the branches, Wen Xianchu was startled, but instead, he felt that this person was a little familiar.
"Your Excellency is someone close to Lord Lian?"
"Yes, it's called Fan Yao."
Fan Yao looked around a little nervously.
"Is there anyone else in this garden now? There are some things I would like to ask Mr. Wen for help. ”
"No, I'm the only one, Fan Xia Shi come down."
Wen Xianchu put down the book in his hand, and then watched Fan Yao jump down from the tree neatly.
"I wonder why Fan Xia Shi came secretly?"
"Since that day after the Peach Blossom Festival, Mr. Wen has still seen my son-in-law?"
Because he really didn't know where to go to find the clues of his son, Fan Yao thought about it again and felt that maybe he could come to Wen Xianchu to try his luck, so he sneaked in. But after all, he was alone, and if he was discovered by Yu Ziju, he was afraid that he would be entangled again, so he had to be cautious and cautious.
"Yes."
Seeing that Fan Yao's expression was a little dignified, Wen Xianchu couldn't help but be a little puzzled.
"Even my lord...... What happened? ”
"And when did you meet?"
Fan Yao looked at Wen Xianchu with some excitement, knowing that he would have come to him earlier.
"Three days ago."
Seeing that Fan Yao avoided answering his doubts, Wen Xianchu was not annoyed.
"I wanted to ask Mr. Lian about something, so I sent a post to Mr. Lian and asked him to go to the teahouse to talk about it."
"It turns out that you were the one who gave the post to Childe."
Fan Yao suddenly realized.
"Did Mr. Wen ever see my son-in-law again after that?"
"Not after that."
Wen Xianchu shook his head, seeing that Fan Yao's expression gradually became solemn again, he didn't hold back, and asked again:
"Even my lord, he ...... But what happened? ”
"My son-in-law...... It's gone. ”
The clue was broken again when it arrived at Wen Xianchu, which made Fan Yao, who had a little hope, immediately fall to the bottom.
"Gone?"
Hearing the news, Wen Xian was shocked.
"What's going on? How could even the adults be gone? ”
"After meeting with Mr. three days ago, Gongzi went to the Sark Pavilion in the east of the city, and then was kidnapped by thieves on the way back."
Although it was the second time he met Wen Xian, firstly, he had a good impression of this Mr. Wen, and secondly, he could let his son-in-law treat him politely, and he was definitely not a treacherous person, so Fan Yao hesitated a little and told the news that Lian Qingjue had disappeared.
"How could this happen!"
Wen Xianchu looked at Fan Yao in disbelief, but suddenly, he saw Fan Yao looking around vigilantly, and then jumped up extremely quickly, and hid in the dense branches again. At the same time, a familiar voice came from the garden gate.
"Ah Chu, what are you standing there looking at?"
"Ziju."
Seeing Yu Ziju walking slowly towards him with his hands behind his back, Wen Xianchu couldn't help but glance at the tree, he saw that Fan Yao's figure was completely invisible, so he changed into a gentle and soft expression as usual and looked at the person with a smile.
"Didn't see anything."
"Didn't you see anything?"
Yu Ziju looked up suspiciously and glanced twice in the direction that Wen Xianchu had just looked, but only saw the branches swaying slightly due to the gentle breeze.
"What was Ah Chu doing just now?"
For some reason, Yu Ziju just felt that something was not quite right with Ah Chu at this moment.
"I'm reading, and when I'm tired of reading, I get up and move my body."
Although Wen Xianchu felt a little guilty for hiding from Yu Ziju what Fan Yao had just come, he remembered the scene when Yu Ziju and Lian Qingjue met during the Peach Blossom Festival that day, and felt that it was better not to say it. Although he still doesn't know what happened between Yu Ziju and Lord Lian, it is obvious that the two of them are not compatible.
"Really?"
Yu Ziju stepped forward and picked up the book that Wen Xianchu had just placed there on the table, flipped through it casually, and put it down with some disgust, and then took advantage of Wen Xianchu's inattention, and suddenly came to Wen Xianchu's ear.
"Ah Chu watched these love and love scripts again, but he plans to learn the methods in the script, so that he can love Ben Shaoen?"
"Ziju Xiu wants to talk nonsense!"
Because of Yu Ziju's words, Wen Xianchu only felt that his face was suddenly hot, and then he realized that the posture of the two of them was too intimate at this time, so he took two steps back a little uncomfortably and turned his back to Yu Ziju.
"Haha, Ah Chu was told by Ben Shao."
Yu Ziju paced behind Wen Xianchu with his hands behind his back, poked his head to see Wen Xianchu's appearance from his cheeks to the roots of his ears at this time, and suddenly felt very happy.
"Hugh is going to talk nonsense!"
Feeling the warm snort of Yu Ziju behind his ears, Wen Xianchu's body that he wanted to move away froze in place for some reason, unable to move.
"Ben Shao is not talking nonsense, Ah Chuchu naturally knows it."
Yu Ziju also knew that he couldn't tease this person in front of him, thinking that at the beginning, he finally abducted him to Bo Yan Country, and finally let him agree to call his name, no longer the left sentence "Yu Gongzi", the right sentence "Yu Gongzi", if the teasing is over, this person is really annoyed with himself, then it will not be easy to do. Therefore, Yu Ziju consciously removed his head and sat on the stool beside him.
"Forget it, I won't tease you, I have been reading the account book for most of the day in the Scarf Pavilion, but I am tired and tired."
"Saxo Court?"
Hearing this name, Wen Xianchu couldn't help but be a little surprised, just now, it seemed that Fan Xia Shi had also mentioned this Sappa Pavilion.
"That's right, my Jade Family's Shengbao Pavilion has a semicolon in the big and small cities of Boyan Country, specializing in the sale of rare treasures, if Ah Chu has anything to want, just take the jade plate of Ben Shao and get it."
Yu Ziju looked at Wen Xianchu a little dazed, the more he looked at it, the more he liked it, he had to think about it, how to make his relationship with Ah Chu go further.
"Not really."
Wen Xianchu hurriedly shook his head, since he met Yu Ziju, his food and clothing have been all from Yu Ziju, so how can he go to get the things of the Yu family again?
"Ben Shao said a long time ago, don't be so polite, otherwise Ben Shao will be angry."
Yu Ziju opened his mouth and yawned loudly, and then was about to criticize Wen Xianchu's thoughts that were obviously too much with himself, but he heard Wen Xianchu's somewhat cautious voice.
"Ziju, what the hell are you and Lord Nalian......"
"Ah Chu."
However, Wen Xian was interrupted by Yu Ziju before he finished speaking.
"Ben Shao said that if you don't want to make Ben Shao angry, don't mention that Lian Qingjue in front of Ben Shao."
"Ziju ......"
Seeing Yu Ziju's reaction like this, Wen Xianchu regretted it a little, but was more afraid: Ziju wouldn't really be angry with himself, right?
"I'm sorry Ah Chu."
Raising his head to see Wen Xianchu standing there, he was a little overwhelmed, and Yu Ziju was also a little unbearable.
"It's really that the festival between Ben Shao and Na Lian Qingjue was not small, and it was extremely unpleasant, so Ben Shao didn't want to recall that incident."
"It's okay, Ziju doesn't want to say it, I won't ask again in the future."
Wen Xianchu smiled gently at Yu Ziju, but after vaguely hearing Yu Ziju muttering a sentence in a low voice, he couldn't help but be stunned. Although Ziju's voice was relatively low just now, if he heard it correctly, he just seemed to say, "You can take revenge on the day."
"Revenge? Who to get revenge on? Could it be...... Even my lord? ”
Wen Xianchu was taken aback by his guess, but when he looked at Yu Ziju again, he found that Yu Ziju had closed his eyes and seemed to be asleep.
"Ziju, could it be that the people who kidnapped Lord Lian...... It's you? ”
In the garden, the breeze blew the leaves, bringing a rustling sound, and Wen Xianchu stood there, with a complicated look gradually floating on his face.
……
"Mr. Wen can sleep?"
It's night, Jade House.
After eating dinner and chatting with him for a while under Yu Ziju's soft grinding and hard soaking, Wen Xianchu went directly back to his room. But as soon as he thought of the events of the afternoon, Wen Xianchu felt a little uneasy, even the disappearance of adults, did it have anything to do with Ziju? However, just as Wen Xianchu was still thinking about this matter, he heard the voice of the jade book coming from outside the door.
"Not yet."
Quickly sorted out his emotions, Wen Xianchu stood up, opened the door and saw Yu Shuzheng standing at the door with some difficulty holding a chessboard-sized box.
"It's ......"
Hurriedly helped Yushu carry the box into the house, Wen Xianchu looked at the box with valuable materials for workmanship, and was a little puzzled.
"The young master said, 'In the afternoon, Ben Shao occupied Ah Chu's place and slept there, so that Ah Chu stood there for an afternoon, Ben Shao really felt that he couldn't go, Yushu, you send this box to Ah Chu, so that he doesn't blame Ben Shao, it's good!' ”
Yushu took a breath, and when his breath stabilized, he vividly imitated his young master's tone just now, and brought his young master's words to Wen Xianchu word for word.
"This Yuziju ......"
Looking at the rare naughty appearance of Yushu, who has always been stable and old, Wen Xianchu couldn't help but sigh.
"The things and words Yushu have been brought, Mr. Wen has a good rest, and Yushu has retired first."
Secretly relieved, Yushu kept counting his own young master in his heart, in order to win the favor of Mr. Wen, the young master actually let himself "not live in peace".
"Jade Book ......"
Seeing that Yushu turned around to leave, Wen Xianchu called him out with some hesitation.
"Is there anything else Mr. Wen is up to?"
Yushu stopped and turned to look at Wen Xianchu.
"Ziju, he has been ...... for the past few days Seems busy? ”
Wen Xianchu stood there, carefully considering his words.
"It's very busy, not only do I have to go to various shops to learn to take care of business, but I also have to go to ...... with Lian."
As if sensing that he had lost his words, Yushu quickly stopped his mouth. But Wen Xianchu still heard the vague word "Lian".
"Then please remind Yushu on the side, don't let him get too tired."
Pretending not to notice the inappropriateness of the jade book, Wen Xianchu's expression was as usual.
"Yes, if the young master knew that Mr. Wen cared about him so much, he would definitely be happy and couldn't sleep. The jade book retired. ”
"Okay."
Seeing that Mr. Wen didn't notice his gaffe, Yushu relaxed slightly, and then hurriedly walked out.
