Chapter 286: Distant Audio
The person who came was Wang Tu. ★ Si ~ Lu ~ Zhong ~ Wen ~ Net Member seek hand hit ★ (MM Reading Network) with him There are several old acquaintances of the Ministry of War. When everyone meets, there is naturally a lively atmosphere. Dashe sat in it, and saw his brother-in-law and friends talking loudly, pointing out the country, looking forward to Shengwei, and he was very envious in his heart. And Shen Muqing, knowing that Xiao Sa had a friend coming, personally formulated the recipe and designated the tea and wine for the guests, he was still a little worried, and went to the kitchen to take a look.
It happened that a little maid went out with wine and food.
The dishes are all on Shen Mu's list, and the wine is also specified by her.
Shen Muqing's brows frowned almost invisibly: "Who is this for?" ”
The little maid trembled: "Steward Pang is back." Manager Xu asked the kitchen to cook something to eat, and there was no leisure in the kitchen, so he scooped some ...... casually."
Yinliang's surname is Xu.
"Steward Pang is back?" Shen Muqing was stunned, "When did you come back?" ”
"I just came back." Seeing Shen Muqing's calm expression, the little maid breathed a sigh of relief, and a smile appeared on her face, "I originally wanted to go to greet my grandfather and grandmother, but knowing that there were distinguished guests at home, Steward Pang asked me to wait for the guests to leave and then go to see my grandfather and grandmother......"
"Got it!" Shen Muqing interrupted the little maid's nagging, "You can bring the food to Steward Pang." It's freezing this day, be careful of the cold. Also, tell Manager Pang, he has worked the road, rest well today, if there is anything, let's talk about it tomorrow! ”
The little maid answered the call and left.
Shen Muqing went to the kitchen to take a look, and saw that Ying Fan was personally supervising there, everything was in order, and he said a few words to Ying Fan and went to the fourth wife.
“…… Lord Min and Lord Wang are here, and when they will eat, Xianggong is afraid that he will not be able to accompany his mother. Shen Muqing smiled, "Daughter-in-law will come to serve you for dinner!" ”
"Since it's a guest at home, you won't use it from my side." The fourth lady listened with a faint expression, "Go to the kitchen and watch, so as not to be inconsiderate." It is enough for me to have eleven and eleven daughters-in-law here to serve. ”
Shen Muqing bent his knees and replied "yes" and retreated.
When I walked to the door, I heard the voice of the eleventh master behind me: "Mother, there are guests at home, I will also help to greet them, so as not to keep the seventh brother busy alone." ”
"The people sitting in that room are all powerful people in the court, you are a white ding, what are you going to do? Do you want to bring shame on yourself? The fourth lady spoke very politely.
Shen Muqing hurriedly stepped up and left the main house.
When a small servant came over to the flower hall to pass Xiao Sa's order to serve the food, Shen Muqing entrusted the two children to Mingxia and took care of the affairs in the kitchen wholeheartedly.
When the lights came on, the guests dispersed one after another. Shen Muqing hurriedly went back to the house to change his clothes, and Xiao Sa helped Dashe in: "I have already sent someone to the petrochemical bridge, and I will stay at home for a few days." ”
Shen Muqing looked at it, Dashe was drunk and drunk, her face was red, and she only knew that she was looking at her and smirking.
"Why did you drink like this?" Shen Muqing couldn't help but blame Xiao Sa, "Do you know he doesn't understand this?" ”
Xiao Sa smiled: "Who knew that the master was so strict with him, and he had never been drunk." ”
Shen Muqing had to complain, while asking people to make a sobering soup, he called the maid to come in and clean up the ear room next to the west wing, and sent the maid to watch in his house at night, and it took half a day to settle the big house - fortunately, the big house was drunk and quietly didn't move, if this started a drunken madness, it would not be good to make a noise to the fourth wife. After all, it is his mother's family, and if he loses his manners in front of his mother-in-law's family, he can't get over his face.
Xiao Sa sighed: "This house is too small, there is no place to live for two more guests." It's just a royal house.,I can't be flexible if I want to.。 ”
The guest rooms in the outer courtyard are for Chang Hui to live in, and the guest rooms in the backyard are for Yinliang and his wife to live, plus the fourth wife and the eleventh master all occupy the entire house, and there is really not enough place for people to come to the house.
Shen Muqing could only sigh: "Let's stay first!" ”
She didn't expect Xiao Sa to strengthen her determination to build a courtyard in Xishan because of this.
Come out of the transept. The two of them went to greet the fourth wife, and the fourth lady asked what dishes they had made today? said how the adults were eating, and then asked the two of them to retreat: "...... It's not early, let's all rest! ”
The two respectfully responded "yes", walked out of the main house, and just took two steps, the eleventh master chased out: "Seventh brother, seventh brother!" ”
The couple stopped.
The eleventh master walked up to Xiao Sa with a smile and whispered: "Seventh brother, I have a few good friends who have heard about the prestige of the seventh brother and want to come to the house to visit. Brother Seven, I don't know when you're free? ”
Xiao Sa smiled: "I just came back, and there are a lot of trivial things." Let's talk about it in a few days! ”
When the eleventh master heard this, he was a little dissatisfied with his expression, and he wanted to say something, but Xiao Sa had already said: "It's too late today, I'm going to get up tomorrow, what's the matter, let's talk about it later!" As he spoke, he didn't wait for the eleventh master to react, turned around and left.
Shen Muqing hurriedly blessed the eleventh master and chased Xiao Sa back to the house.
As soon as he entered the door, Xiao Sa's face sank, and he instructed Shen Muqing: "You send someone to check tomorrow to see who Eleven is dealing with?" It stands to reason that his mother kept him by his side, and he didn't come to Kyoto for long, so why did he suddenly have a few good friends? ”
Everywhere, there are idle gangs, and these people often target the children of wealthy families. Playing some tricks to lure them into eating, drinking, prostituting and gambling to make profits, and there are not a few people who have gone bankrupt because of this.
"Don't worry, I'll send Yinliang to investigate this matter." Anyway, the eleventh master is nominally Xiao Sa's younger brother, if something happens to him, others will always talk about Xiao Sa and find Xiao Sa to solve it. The thought flashed, and she thought of Pang Debao, "Xiao Sa, when you had a treat, Steward Pang came back." I'll ask him to come back to you tomorrow. ”
"Oh, Pound is back." Xiao Sa groaned, "Since you're back, let's see you today......"
What is it? In such a hurry?
Shen Muqing was a little strange, and was about to call the maid to invite Pang Debao, when a little maid said: "Grandma, grandma, Steward Pang asks to see!" ”
"Come in, please!" Xiao Sa actually went to lift the curtain in person.
Shen Muqing was full of confusion, and Pang Debao had already walked in.
He looked a little tired, and gave Xiao Sa and Shen Muqing a salute, and Shen Muqing hurriedly called the maid to serve tea to Pang Debao.
When the tea came, Xiao Sa sent all the servants in the house.
Seeing this, Shen Muqing prepared to avoid going to the bedroom.
"Mu Qing. This matter is related to you, and you should listen to it too! Xiao Sa shouted Shen Muqing.
Something to do with yourself? What do you need Xiao Sa to send someone of Pang Debao's weight to solve? Tea farms in Fujian? No, it has become a scale over there, and Lin Ruichun's management is in place, which has always made her worry-free...... Yiwen Tea Shop, Zhou Bing is in charge, although the profit is very thin, there is no problem at all to feed those people in the white paper workshop......
She thought, and sat down bewildered.
Pang Debao glanced at Shen Muqing, and sympathy flashed in his eyes.
"I did as the man had said, and found a lame woman. Although she is dressed in cloth and has a haggard face, she talks well and behaves generously, which is indeed not like an ordinary peasant woman. I deliberately put a little Jiangnan accent in my words, and she asked me where I was from, and I was afraid that she would be suspicious, so I said that I was from Kyoto and had been a businessman in Jiangnan in my early years. The woman bowed her head and muttered a few words, although she couldn't hear them very clearly, but they were Jiangnan accents......"
Before he finished his words, Shen Muqing was already shocked: "You guys, have you found Sister Yuerong?" ”
Xiao Sa's expression was solemn: "Dai Gui and I have been looking for Miss Shen, but this time it is the most consistent with Miss Shen's scene." As for whether it's true or not, I don't know yet! ”
"Yes, Grandma!" Pang Debao smiled on the side, "This is the third woman I have seen...... It's just that this time it's more like it than ever, so I rushed back and wanted to ask my grandmother to get an idea and see if I could find someone who was familiar with Miss Shen...... There are some things that we don't know and don't know where to start......"
Shen Muqing was also embarrassed: "Sister Yuerong's mother is no longer there, and her relationship with her second uncle is not good...... I've only seen her a few times......"
"Shall I ask Ren Xiang?" Xiao Sa thought for a moment and said categorically, "Even if he doesn't know, his aunt should know a little!" ”
"Is that good?" Shen Muqing hesitated, "Ren Xiang has now married a wife and had children......
"Speaking of which, he is not without responsibility for this matter." Xiao Sa said, "He won't let go!" ”
That's all there is to it.
Shen Muqing sighed and asked about Shen Yuerong's situation: "How did you find people?" What happened back then? ”
General Dai only said that his distant relatives at home had been abducted, and he checked all the boats that passed by at that time, and also investigated the nearby Jiyuan, Yaxing, and murder cases where several ships docked. Among them, eleven girls' families were in a similar situation to Miss Shen, and General Dai sent people to check on these eleven girls...... Later, General Dai went to Liaodong, and some things were inconvenient, so we took over and continued to investigate...... During this period, three died, and seven others were not the right age. or found a family, which is inconsistent with Miss Shen's situation. This woman was the last of the eleven girls...... If not, then ......"
Shen Muqing heard Pang Debao's unfinished words: "We have tried our best, if it is not, it can only be like this!" ”
Pang Debao nodded: "It's good that grandma can figure it out." ”
"This is how it was decided." Xiao Sa got up, "Wait until I see Ren Xiang tomorrow before making plans!" ”
Pang Debao got up to say goodbye, Shen Muqing and Xiao Sa rested, tossing and turning, she couldn't help sighing: "I didn't expect Dai Gui to be so sincere and keep his promise......
"Sleep!" Xiao Sa turned over and put it on Shen Muqing's body, looking sleepy, "I'll just come here for this favor!" ”
Where could Shen Muqing sleep, thinking about Dai Gui's actions over the years: "...... I always feel that he has a bit of a noble temper, although he treats people peacefully, he is pure in his bones. It's very righteous to friends, and it's a bit chivalrous......"
"Alright, alright," Xiao Sa said vaguely, "Go to sleep!" I'm going to wake up early tomorrow......"
