An hour later, Wen Wen carried two silver tickets of one hundred taels in his arms, and was sent out of the restaurant by the shopkeeper of Zhiwei Zhai. Standing behind the fat shopkeeper, he smacked his tongue after seeing the gentleness go away: "Shopkeeper, you really buy such a big price list?" ”

"Idiot!" The fat shopkeeper was already in pain in his heart, and as soon as he said this, he turned his face and scolded: "Don't you know that you can earn more than a dozen taels of silver every day every day after buying her five-course food list last time?" These two hundred taels of silver are worth the money! Wait and see, it won't be long before I'll be back at home! His face trembled, and he kept talking, not knowing whether he was explaining to Runtang or comforting himself.

"Then, the shopkeeper will give me some raise?" The runner smiled and salivated, but he spat at the fat shopkeeper and said, "It's delicious and lazy!" Seeing that you eat too much, do you still want to increase your salary? Get to work! ”

Wen Wen naturally didn't hear the conversation between the fat shopkeeper and the running hall, she was walking on the street at the moment, and she was happy in her heart! I didn't expect this sky-high asking price, she has learned it now, thanks to the reminder of the sweet and sour carp from the shopkeeper of Zhiwei Zhai to start the price of the sweet and sour carp. When she was in Zhao's mansion, she was anxious to come out, and she was willing to sell a single meal for two pieces of silver, but now that she really came out, she found that the outside world was very vast, two hundred taels of silver, for the poor, it may be a huge amount of money that cannot be saved for several lifetimes, but for a successful businessman like Zhiwei Zhai, who makes a lot of money in business, it is really not much, and it will not take more than a month, and he will earn back the money spent on buying food orders. Gently and peacefully blackmailed him, it was regarded as robbing the rich and helping the poor!

Cut a pound of pork at the meat stall, and bought some pig's feet and pork liver, gently carried it with a straw rope, and walked home, who knew that as soon as he turned into the alley, he saw two people standing at the door of his house, one of them looked at the figure, it looked like the housekeeper of the Zhao Mansion, and the other was dressed as an official, she was shocked, and hurriedly quickened her pace and went up.

Mother Wen stood in front of the door and talked to the two of them, looking panicked, seeing Wen Rou coming back, it was as if she had seen a savior, and hurriedly pulled her over and said, "Rou'er, you came back just in time......"

"Mother, you bring these things into the house first." Gently interrupted her words, and when she handed over the things in her hand, she took a secret breath to ease her emotions, and then turned her head to the two people who came to the door and smiled: "Steward Zhao, how did you find this?" And this official, if you are lazy, please come into the house and have a cup of tea. ”

"Nope." The housekeeper of the Zhao Mansion looked at it and said gently: "I came to you to ask about something." ”

"What's the matter? Just ask! The gentle answer was refreshing, but she couldn't help but feel a little apprehensive in her heart, but fortunately, the official who followed the housekeeper of the Zhao Mansion to the door this time was not the two people she met on the street that day, and she finally didn't have to be afraid of being recognized.

"Has Xiaohuan ever come looking for you?" The butler of the Zhao Mansion fluttered the ash on his sleeve and asked casually, but the corner of his eye kept paying attention to the gentle reaction.

"Little Ring?" Gentle was stunned, and said in surprise: "The unmarried maids in the house are not allowed to go out, how can she come out to find me?" Saying that, she smiled again: "I was trying to ask the housekeeper about it, on the day of my redemption, Sister-in-law Liu made such a big noise, and I don't know if it even affected Xiaohuan, how is she now?" It's finally a sister, I'm out of the house, and I've missed her these days. "Hey, it's not easy to lie, it's too hard!

Hearing Wen Wen say this, the butler of the Zhao Mansion twisted his brows into Sichuan characters, and hesitated: "You really haven't seen her?" ”

"Look at what you said, if I saw her, how could I hide it from you?" Gently said and hesitated: "Something should not have happened to Xiaohuan, right?" ”

"She?" The housekeeper of the Zhao Mansion flicked his sleeves and said angrily: "Escaped!" We were so tired that we searched for several days, but we didn't find it! ”

"What! She escaped? Gentle was shocked and said, "Why is this girl so stupid?" Even if her mother did something stupid, she shouldn't be confused! Where can she, a girl who has never been out of the house, run away? In case you get lost in the flowers, how can it be good! Housekeeper, she must be scared in her heart, if you find her, please help me say a few good words, please beg Madame, spare her this time! ”

The housekeeper of the Zhao Mansion glanced at her twice, didn't answer her words, and only said: "The second lady thinks that you are good with her, let me ask you, who knew that you moved, I asked for a long time before I found here!" Tell me, what are you moving to? Didn't you say that if you redeem your body, you will get married? ”

That's it! Wen Wen was a little panicked in her heart, but fortunately, she had already considered this problem and had a way to deal with it, so she lowered her head and said a little embarrassed: "My ...... The man was a businessman...... I took a business and went out, so I chose the day of spring next year. Before leaving, he saw that the house where my family lived was too dilapidated, so he rented this room and moved in first, saying that when he came back, he would buy a place for my mother and brother, but he didn't expect the housekeeper to come looking for me. ”

The housekeeper of the Zhao Mansion couldn't find any flaws in her words and deeds, and she couldn't imagine that this fourteen or fifteen-year-old girl would have such a calm heart and pull out a set of big lies that didn't leak. But the officials accompanying him were not happy, and stopped him and said, "It took so much of the time to run for nothing?" ”

"What does the official mean?" The housekeeper of the Zhao Mansion was busy laughing, not daring to offend him. A few days ago, the second lady asked Zhao Kang to go to the yamen to find a painter to draw a portrait of Xiaohuan, who knew that Zhao Kang was not very respectful to the painter, and also gave the second lady the pen money, but the painter was angry, and painted a portrait that did not look like it at all to fill the number, Zhao Kang did not say when he went back to hand over the errand, and he did not find anyone for several days, and the second lady found out about this block, so that Zhao Kang was dragged down and hit fifty boards, and almost lost his life! He didn't dare to rely on his identity anymore and repeat the mistakes of the past.

"Since you're here, let's go in and search!" The official waved his hand, pushed away the gentleness, and rushed into the door.

Wen Wen was in a hurry, although she told Xiaohuan to stay in the old widow's room next door when she went out, but she didn't know if she did it. But now, she has no choice, so she has to follow behind the official messenger, accompany him to search, and talk to the housekeeper of the Zhao Mansion from time to time, and ask about Xiaohuan's situation with concern.

The official searched carefully upstairs and downstairs, but except for the gentle family, he didn't even see the ghost, so he had to call Wen's mother and Wen Gang out, and asked them if they had seen it with a portrait of Xiaohuan.

Wen Wen looked at it from the side, and was surprised, not like the portrait this time, with Xiaohuan actually had six or seven points of resemblance, but she was anxious, and she couldn't say it, fortunately, Wen's mother and Wen Gang had already been "trained" by her, and they each shook their heads and said that they hadn't seen it, although their demeanor was a little panicked, but in ancient times, the people were simple, and there were many people who couldn't speak when they saw the official errand, and this look was more natural, and the official errand didn't find any flaws, so he had to turn around and walk out of the door with the housekeeper of the Zhao Mansion.

"Would you like to sit down and have a cup of tea?" Wen Wen breathed a sigh of relief in her heart, but she had to leave them behind, seeing that the housekeeper of the Zhao Mansion waved her hand and stepped out of the threshold, she was about to close the door and slowly turn her mind, but who knew that she heard the official knock on the door of the old widow's house next door again, and a heart that had just fallen suddenly hung again.
