Chapter 015: Luckily
In the days that followed, Xu Yuan and Xiaolan stayed in the residence arranged by Wen Hongshen, which was not Wen Hongshen's home, but just a foothold for him here.
Wen Hongshen explained a few words, left some silver and left non-stop, it seems that there are other women who have stayed here, and he also turned out a few women's clothes. Seeing that he was reluctant to touch the ground with his heels, Xu Yuan was really a little panicked.
And when more than half a month has passed, and there is still no news, Xu Yuan and Xiaolan really can't live a happy little life.
There are also a lot of neighbors in this house, and it is quite curious that two girls suddenly appear in the house where a strong man has lived for a long time, so the two of them lived behind closed doors during this time.
After a long time, it is inevitable to meet the searching eyes of the third aunt and six mothers-in-law, but I think it is because Wen Hongshen's fierce image before is too deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, causing people nearby to dare not come to gossip about the people in this room even if they are curious, but the two of them are clean.
But the problem is that it's too pure. Xu Yuan sat in the courtyard, looking at the square sky at the four corners and sighed, feeling like a little old lady, sitting in the courtyard and counting the days passing day by day. As soon as Wen Hongshen left, there was no news, and even the house turned into a pool of stagnant water.
Wen Hongshen looks like a straight man of steel, but the house where he lives temporarily is very tidy, and there is no unclean place from the bedroom to the living room. During this time, Xu Yuan and Xiaolan were so bored that they cleaned the neat room inside and out, and they didn't even let go of the old dust in the corners.
This house is not small, but there is no kitchen, presumably Wen Hongshen does not have the habit of cooking, so they have no way to cook food to pass the time, and they go out to buy food every day and come back to eat.
The small life with the door closed is really unbearable, although I don't know how much more comfortable it is than when I escaped from the famine before, but people are like this, if they don't toss, they will go crazy, and Xu Yuan really doesn't want to clean this house a second time. Finally couldn't hold it anymore, she said to Xiaolan one day: "Let's go shopping, shall we?" ”
Xiao Lan tilted his head to look at her, as if he hadn't heard clearly.
Xu Yuan repeated: "Let's go for a walk on the street? Buying some clothes and jewelry? Brother Wen gave a lot of silver, and our previous gold leaf can also be removed. ”
Women's hobbies are almost the same, in ancient times when there was a lack of interest activities, ordinary people actually had no entertainment activities except shopping.
As a little girl, Xiao Lan's eyes lit up, and she put on her small purse and went to the street with Xu Yuan.
The mood of the two is not good, firstly, they are worried about a lot of things, and secondly, they are stuffy in the yard. So since I was going to the street, I packed up my mood and went out happily.
There is actually nothing to visit in the town, but Xiao Lansheng is in the house, and the aunt and lady who used to wait were not favored, and he couldn't seize any opportunity to go out; Xu Yuan only glanced at this quaint town a few times when she went to the pawnshop last time. Two girls who have never seen the world visit this town at this time, but they are also very interested.
Rushing out early in the morning, by the time they were about to go back, the sun had already set in the west, and they had to take three meals a day outside. The two of them walked around the small town, walked east and west, carried two clothes in the ready-to-wear store, and a few boxes of snacks in the dim sum shop, and finally both of them carried a lot of things, and saw that it was not early, and then slowly shook back to the house.
When she arrived at the door of the house, Xu Yuan said to Xiaolan while taking out the key: "I think the water-green clothes are especially suitable for your ......" Before she finished speaking, her hand suddenly stopped in mid-air, what about the lock on the door? She hurriedly asked, "Did we go out and lock the door?" ”
Xiao Lan was puzzled: "Lock it." ”
At this moment, the door opened from the inside, and Wen Hongshen stood straight like a pillar, and said with a smile: "Come in." ”
A few days ago.
"Lord-", Wen Hongshen knelt on one knee and said: "The subordinates are late, please surrender to the lord." ”
There was a man standing in the direction of his work, dressed in brocade clothes and with a lofty instrument, who was slightly raising his chin at this time, and did not look at Wen Hongshen, who was kneeling not far from his feet.
The man was Xu Chusheng, who saved people before. After he was silent for a long time, he said, "After returning to Jinzhou, I will go and receive the punishment myself." Two days earlier, people should have been arranged to answer, where did the people go? ”
"The people I sent before were robbed and disappeared, but they forged letters for a few days, and they forged them very realistically, so I didn't think much about it. It is a dereliction of duty on the part of subordinates. Wen Hongshen didn't dare to raise his head, if he hadn't been reported by someone this time, he would have found the traces of the Lord a few days later...... The consequences are truly unimaginable.
"Get up, don't have a next time."
Xu Chusheng stretched out his hand in front of Wen Hongshen, Wen Hongshen gasped in his heart, and stood up tremblingly with his hand.
Xu Chusheng looked at his frightened appearance and said with a smile: "I'm not standing here?" Nervous what, didn't intend to pick your skin. ”
Wen Hong was so guilty that he asked: "Lord, this surnamed Chen is really getting more and more arrogant, and we must not let him go after returning to Jinzhou." ”
Xu Chusheng sneered lightly and said, "He dares to be so arrogant, just because he is afraid that you will let him go." ”
Wen Hong stiffened his neck and said: "It's a contact with a foreign race, and he wants to seize power, which one of them is enough for him to eat a pot!" ”
Xu Chusheng knew that his subordinate was more than loyal, but he didn't think enough, and he didn't want to explain this twist and turn with him for a while, so he changed the topic and said: "Don't talk about this, there are still things for you to do." ”
Wen Hongshen heard this, and immediately said: "Obey the orders of the Lord." ”
Xu Chusheng said helplessly: "So nervous? It's not a big deal. I also picked up two little girls on the road before, but then they should have been separated, and you go to the nearby towns and villages to find them. I'll paint you a portrait later, and if I can't find it, I'll go to the pawnshop, Duobao Pavilion or something like that and ask if you've seen my jade pendant. ”
Wen Hongshen was stunned, blinked his small eyes, and asked suspiciously: "What? ”
Xu Chusheng asked, "Distracted?" ”
Wen Hongshen hurriedly waved his hand and explained repeatedly: "No, no, no, no!" It's just that the little girl you said I seem to have seen ......."
Xu Chusheng raised his eyebrows and said, "I haven't painted you yet, how do you know that you've seen it?" ”
Wen Hongshen said again: "I bumped into them in the pawnshop before with the jade pendant of the lord to inquire, and later they also told me about the situation, if it weren't for them, I might have to know what happened later before I went to report the news......"
Xu Chusheng felt unexpected and seemed to be expected, and he was playful for a while, and wanted to play with his upright subordinate, so he smiled and said, "Oh? Are you so promising? Go back and add ten more lashes. ”
Seeing that Wen Hongshen's face collapsed instantly, Xu Chusheng laughed wickedly: "Tease you, take people to Xu's Mansion's Beizhuang, there is a girl who gets dizzy as soon as she gets in the car, let's slow down on the road." I have a step ahead. ”
"Yes, Lord."
