When Wen Che came home that day, some of them were restless, pacing back and forth in the house.

It's rare for a little guy to see his son-in-law so uncalm. I didn't know what was going on, and I didn't dare to come forward and disturb.

Wen Che felt that there was something very important that he didn't catch, so he ordered: "Little Bean, call Chu Jiu over!" ”

Xiaowu silently withdrew, he really wanted to change his name, but he was reluctant, the name Xiaodouzi was given to him by Miss when he was four years old, at that time he was thin and young, and he thought it sounded quite cute.

But he is now twenty years old, and he is still called Xiaodouzi, and now he is still young, so that's it, in case he is forty or fifty years old, and he is still called Xiaodouzi, he feels cold when he thinks about it.

But he understands that officially because the name is obtained by Miss, he will become the second son's personal servant, and there will be some additional preferential treatment.

It's a pity that the young lady is no longer there......

Xiaodouzi sighed with emotion and called Chu Jiu.

"Chu Jiu, the last time you went to investigate Song Mingyuan, what information did you have about his child daughter-in-law?"

Chu Jiu carefully recalled: "This is the negligence of his subordinates, I only inquired about the details of Song Tanhua at that time, about his child daughter-in-law, I only know that her name is Wang Xiaoming, she came to be a child daughter-in-law at the age of six or seven, and she is from Lotus Village next door." Thinking that she was not a very important person, her subordinates didn't care, did she have any problems? ”

Chu Jiu was a little puzzled, why did he ask Song Tanhua about her child daughter-in-law, didn't the son also say that he didn't have anything to do with Song Tanhua in the future, and didn't have to worry about his business?

Obviously, Chu Jiu didn't inquire too much about Wang Xiaoming, and Wen Che knew that he couldn't be blamed. But there is too little information on the ninth day of the first month, and there is no reference value at all.

"Accompany me to Lotus Village tomorrow." Wen Che didn't answer Chu Jiu's question, and decided to go in person, otherwise he wouldn't be at ease.

Instructed the ninth day of the first month, Wen Che came to Wen Qian's courtyard.

"Archer came to me so late, but what's the matter?" Wen Qian asked.

"Big brother, I'll be out of the city for a few days tomorrow, if my mother asks, you can help me deal with it." Wen Che said.

"Out of town? What's up? Wen Qian frowned, looking a little serious.

"I don't know what is important, maybe it's something important to our family, maybe it's something that doesn't matter. Because I don't know, I have to find the answer. "I don't know if I can talk about it. He can't say anything about his instincts and unwarranted speculation.

Wen Qian saw Wen Che's appearance, and knew that he didn't plan to elaborate. I didn't ask any more questions. patted him on the shoulder: "Go ahead, be careful on the road!" Don't worry about Daddy. ”

Wen Che couldn't wait to set off overnight, but he was afraid that he would be accidentally discovered and make some noise. So I couldn't sleep all night.

The next day, I arranged for someone to take leave early in the morning, and went out of the city with the ninth day of the new year.

"Second son, this is it."

Chu Jiu and Wen Che came to Lihua Village first and stopped at the gate of the Song family's courtyard.

The door of the Song family was already overgrown with weeds. The lock on the courtyard gate was also rusty. When the wind blows, the door creaks.

Wen Che saw this scene, and also understood: it seems that Song Mingyuan is not popular in his hometown, it is not easy to explore flowers in a mountain village, most people are proud of it, if it is deeply popular, how to say that it is an old house, even if no one lives, the old folks will help clean it up.

Aunt Liu and Liu Cuier happened to come back from outside and saw Wen Che and Chu Jiu.

Although Chu Jiu doesn't look very good, Wen Che is polite and polite, which makes people feel good.

I saw them stop at the door of Song's house.

Aunt Song kindly asked, "This son, who are you looking for?" ”

"This lady, this is the home of Tanhualang Song Mingyuan?" Wen Che asked very politely.

"Exactly, but this son, Song Tanhua's family has gone to Beijing, and now there is no one here. If Gongzi is looking for someone from the Song family, I'm afraid he will run in vain. ”

"That's a pity, when I passed by here, I originally wanted to visit Song Tanhua's family, I heard that Song Tanhua had a wife when she was a child, and she must have taken her family and wife to Beijing after high school." Wen Che said casually, making a look of pity.

"This ......" Aunt Liu didn't know how to answer.

Liu Cuier originally saw Wen Che handsome, gentle and polite, and she also had a good impression.

Now that I heard Wen Che say this, I thought he was Song Mingyuan's friend, and intuitively classified Wen Che as Song Mingyuan's camp.

Then he pulled Aunt Liu and walked inside, and said in a bad tone: "Mother, what else do you say, let's go in." ”

Wen Che saw that Liu Cui'er's face suddenly changed, and asked, "What is this dissatisfaction with the subordinates?" ”

Liu Cui'er snorted and didn't speak.

"Since the people of the Song family are not here, can I ask the eldest lady something, I heard that Song Tanhua's wife's maiden family is here, I don't know how to leave?" Wen Che didn't care about Liu Cuier's face. Keep asking.

"This ...... This ...... "Aunt Liu is hesitant, I don't know whether to say it or not."

"Mother, what's not to say, Song Tanhua's wife is a high-ranking official in the capital, how can it be that we countrymen are high, don't make a mistake about this son." Liu Cuier's tone was indescribably sarcastic and dissatisfied.

Wen Che smiled instead: "So, Song Tanhua abandoned his former wife and climbed another high branch, no wonder this girl doesn't have a good face for Zaixia, but I think this girl may have misunderstood, we came this time to find Song Tanhua's wife, Miss Wang, because we are all men, we can only visit Song Tanhua's family in the name of Miss Wang, I don't know where Miss Wang is now?" ”

Liu Cuier and Aunt Liu heard what they said, only to realize that they had misunderstood just now. Aunt Liu said, "Hey...... Xiao Ming's girl is a pitiful, Song Tanhua lost her, so she went back to her parents' house, which is the Lotus Village next door, and later heard that she went to the capital to do business with the shopkeeper in the town. There is no place to stay, and a girl's family can only run around. ”

As soon as Aunt Song heard that she had an old relationship with Wang Xiaoming, she said it truthfully.

"I don't know how to get to the Wang family in Lotus Village? We wanted to check it out. Wen Che asked.

"Go out at the entrance of the village, walk along the left, not far, just across a river, to the village to ask, the Wang family who gave birth to a room of daughters, everyone will know."

Bidding farewell to Aunt Liu, Wen Che and Chu Jiu left the village.

Halfway through, Wen Che stopped.

"Second son, aren't we going to Lotus Village now?" Chu Jiu was a little puzzled, why didn't Childe leave.

"It's getting late, we'll go early tomorrow, now let's go to town and find a place to rest for the night." Wen Che said.

He hesitated suddenly. He wanted to know the answer, but was afraid to know.

In fact, he could have gone directly to Lotus Village, but he still wanted to come to Lihua Village first to have a look and learn about Wang Xiaoming from others.

But just as the truth was about to be revealed, he hesitated.

Chu Jiu looked at the sky, it was almost the beginning of Shen Shi, the sun was very good, I don't know how to judge that Childe's sky was late.

But since Childe said it, he just did it.
