Chapter 60: Door-to-door
"Boss, it's okay to throw this thing down twice, right?" A blacksmith asked the bellows puller.
Another said: "Twice I promised that he didn't even forget his surname, and he took care of everything." ”
The man pulling the bellows nodded, "When he summons a confession and draws a charge, he will send it over, and our mission is over." ”
The two blacksmiths nodded in unison, and fished out the Qiao Ba from the water tank again, seeing his dying appearance, one of the blacksmiths couldn't help but tease: "Just this goods, if you enter the Zhao ......."
The man pulling the bellows glanced at the blacksmith with a sharp eye, and the blacksmith shut up and said no more.
…………
Because it was empty, the north wind outside the city gate blew more violently, and even the two carriages parked on the side of the official road were blown "creak".
picked up Chen's mother, but Hua Chen still squeezed into the carriage of Hua Jin.
Hua Jin knew that his brother had something to say, so he smiled and nodded.
Knowing that Chen's mother was not an outsider, Hua Chen asked bluntly: "Sister, Brother Xuan told me about Leling today. ”
"Leling's business?" Hua Jin's eyebrows jumped faintly, and he looked at Hua Chen, "Do you know what kind of person Zhao Xin is?" ”
Hua Chen shook his head, "It's hard to say what kind of person it is, but I heard that the Zhao family has disappeared many little maids for no reason." Afraid of scaring his sister, Hua Chen deliberately concealed his guess that Zhao Xin was a perverted murderer.
"How many little maids?"
Hua Jin thought that since it disappeared for no reason, it was definitely not a good thing worth publicizing, how did that Xuan Gongzi get this news so easily?
Without warning, the cold and abnormal face of the fine carving appeared.
Hua Jin blinked, drove that face out of his mind, and looked at Hua Chen, "Brother, things seem to be far more complicated than we imagined, and if you want to help your sister, I'm afraid it's not that simple." ”
Mother Chen also sighed softly, "At the beginning, the old slave also felt that the second girl had a rare and good marriage in Zhuangzi, although I felt a little strange, but I always hoped that the second girl would be good, and I thought that Mrs. was blessed by the spirit of heaven." Unexpectedly...... "Chen's mother also felt angry in her heart, "it was someone with ulterior motives who pushed her into the fire pit." ”
Hua Chen bowed, "I don't know why even the second sister has changed, as if a wall has been built between us and her." ”
"No matter how strong the wall is, there will always be a day to cross it."
Hua Chen and Chen's mother looked at Hua Jin's eyes full of hope, and they would inexplicably believe her words, and inexplicably feel that their hearts were full of hope.
Hua Chen didn't feel a little more relaxed, and changed the topic, "Sister, in the spring of the next year, I want to ride a horse to and from the academy by myself like Brother Xuan, do you think it's okay?" ”
"Why not?" Hua Jin deepened his smile, "The glory of our Zhang family was earned by our ancestors on horseback. "It's just that now the Zhang family is in charge of each room in charge of the education of future generations, and there is really no rules.
Chen's mother also said: "In the past, when the old marquis was alive in the world, he personally taught the prince to ride a horse. ”
"My sister is saying that she will support her brother? Chen's mother also thinks this is very good? ”
Hua Jin bowed slightly, "And my sister also found a martial artist for my brother, which can not only protect my brother, but also let my brother learn some kung fu with him, okay?" ”
"It couldn't be better." Hua Chen smiled and showed a neat little white tooth, "It turns out that my sister has a plan." ”
"Qin Bing's uncle, Qin Jian'an, has done things for us. And I see more people walking south and north on the rivers and lakes, and with him by my brother's side in the future, my sister can also put her mind at ease. ”
Hua Chen said with a smile: "It turns out that my sister has even thought about the candidate for my brother." ”
The three of them talked non-stop along the way, and soon returned to Zhang's Mansion in Taiping Lane.
Mother Chen was a little excited, "Fourth young master, fifth girl...... Is the old slave really back? ”
Hua Jin smiled slightly, "Mother Chen, my brother and I will support you for the rest of your life in the future." ”
When Mother Chen heard this familiar sentence, she finally couldn't hold back her tears, "Your mother, I said this before, the old slave ......" choked up, "I will definitely do my best to serve the fourth young master and the fifth girl in the future." ”
Hua Chen comforted: "Mother Chen, my sister has now obtained the right to take charge of the second room, and Mother Chen is much relieved when she comes back." ”
"The power of the second room?" Chen's mother couldn't hide her surprise, her lips moved several times, and her expression changed from surprise to joy and finally to relief, "The fifth girl is really out of luck." ”
At this time, the carriage had arrived in front of the gate of Zhangfu and was about to enter through the east corner gate, but the subordinate of the gatekeeper stepped forward to stop the carriage.
Hua Chen lifted the curtain and couldn't help asking, "What's going on?" ”
"Fourth young master, fifth girl, half an hour ago, a man named Qiao Ba came to the door."
Hua Chen couldn't help frowning, "What Qiao Ba?" What does it have to do with me? ”
"That man said that he was the tenant who had stopped the fourth young master and the fifth girl."
"What about the fake tenants?" Hua Chen's brows furrowed even tighter, and when he looked back at Hua Jin, he showed a surprised expression, "Sister, is it really sent to the door?" How did you figure it out? ”
Hua Jin has been listening carefully to the conversation between her brother and the next person, and when she heard her brother's question, she just wanted to hold her forehead.
She's really just talking casually, not exhaustively.
Thinking of this coincidence, she couldn't help but think about it carefully, and always felt that this matter had some subtle connection with the Xuanfei she met today.
This kind of speculation made her seem to grasp the key to something, but it couldn't fully explain it.
If Xuan Fei just wanted to help their brothers and sisters, he wouldn't be so mysterious, and if he had other purposes, then his coming to Texas might have something to do with that purpose.
What is the purpose?
"Sister......" Hua Chen interrupted Hua Jin's thoughts, "What should I do with that fake tenant?" ”
Hua Jin retracted his thoughts, thinking that this matter was always a good thing, so he didn't think much about it at the moment, "Brother, it's good for you to go and try it." If he recruits, he will be sent directly to the government. ”
"My brother also thinks it's better." Hua Chen turned back to the concierge and asked, "Do you know who sent the person?" Where are people now? ”
The porter's servant replied truthfully: "I knocked on the door and sent it to the door." The stakes are very high, and the small ones don't dare to make decisions on their own, so they told Mrs. Hou, and now they are tied to the firewood room in the outer courtyard. ”
Hua Chen listened to the words of the porter before jumping out of the carriage, he frowned puzzled, and muttered in a low voice: "I can really send it to the door myself." He did not forget to tell the coachman to drive Huajin's carriage into the inner courtyard.
After entering the second gate, Hua Jin got out of the carriage and took Chen's mother, Bai Tao, and Yanran back to Honghun Courtyard.
Zhi Tao had already led someone to clean up Chen's mother's house and waited at the door, and when she saw the master and servant coming back, she greeted her with a smile.
