Chapter 63: Secretive
Hearing Mingyue Halal's words, Jin Si was also relieved.
No wonder her sister told her in private that the girl was not an ordinary boudoir woman, and she respected the girl's words very much.
"Girl, I think that shopkeeper Zhao seems to want to be good friends with the girl?"
Jin Si blurted out a sentence, but it ushered in Chaoge's disapproving gaze, her heart moved, knowing that her words were easy to misunderstand and damage the girl's reputation.
"Girl, I mean, this shopkeeper Zhao seems to want you to show you his favor."
Ming Yueqing nodded: "I know, he wants to catch up with the Shen family through me." ”
She looked sideways at Chao Ge, "This shopkeeper Zhao used to want to be friends with the Shen family?" ”
"The girl guessed right, the Shen family's tea business is well known, but in addition, we also do other businesses, such as medicinal materials."
Thinking of the eyes of the shopkeeper Zhao, Chao Ge frowned slightly, "It's just that the master said that the shopkeeper Zhao only has interests in his eyes, so he doesn't want to cooperate with him." ”
Ming Yueqing didn't speak, as if she was thinking about something.
"Zhao family!" She muttered, and suddenly a flash of inspiration flashed in her mind, and she raised her head with a sigh, "Chaoge, send someone to keep an eye on Zhao Hongfei and the Zhao family, and notify me immediately if they have any abnormal movements." ”
Chao Ge also thought of it, and he nodded: "Okay, I'm ......"
"In addition, send someone to find out where Zhao Hongfei has gone and what he has done in the past few days, and everything must be found out in every detail."
The meaning of these words is that Zhao Hongfei is the biggest suspect in hurting the young master, and Chao Ge can't help but be stunned.
"Don't worry, Miss Ming, I understand."
If it was really Zhao Hongfei, then what was the reason for him to do this? The Zhao family's tea business?
Chao Ge didn't dare to think deeply, but felt that the more he thought about it, the more he felt that this person was ruthless.
Jin Si saw that Ming Yueqing was in a bad mood now, and she didn't have the heart to continue to wander around, looking at the snow moving around in her arms, she spoke.
"Girl, are you hungry in the snow, why don't we go home?"
Touching the snow soothingly, Mingyue smiled clearly: "Okay, let's go home." ”
It seems that there will be no harvest today, and she will come early tomorrow, she doesn't believe that the people here can still not go out!
The next day, it was still snowing heavily, and Mingyue got up early in the morning, wearing the clothes she brought from Qingshan Village, and went out alone against the wind and snow.
It was still the same street as yesterday, and this time, because she came early, she finally saw a few families with their doors open, and they were sending men out.
Ming Yueqing stepped forward directly, but she didn't think that before she spoke, several of them saw unfamiliar faces and closed the door directly.
“……”
Ming Yueqing stood a little messy in the wind and snow, and she didn't say anything, she was treated as a flood beast.
That won't work, and she'll have to change her strategy.
After thinking about it, Ming Yueqing grabbed her hair a little unkempt, and her expression became weaker.
As for her face, she was so afraid of the cold, her face should already be red.
“…… Mother, I'm leaving, you ...... by yourself"
There was an intermittent sound of talking from a family, and Ming Yueqing hurriedly walked over.
Sure enough, after a while, the door opened, and a person walked out, looking like a man.
Ming Yueqing frowned slightly, no matter what, you have to try.
"This big brother, may I ask if there is a family surnamed Ming on this street?"
"Huh?" The man turned around, revealing a big beard, but his eyes were honest and simple, "Ming? ”
He looked at the girl in front of him who was a little thinly dressed, and her cold little face was flushed, and shook his head in confusion and affirmation.
"Girl, there is no one surnamed Ming on this street."
"What should I do?" Ming Yueqing looked anxious and a little frustrated, "Big brother, think about it again, is it really not?" ”
"Not really." The man shook his head, seeing that she was crying in a hurry, and couldn't help but ask, "Girl, are you looking for someone?" ”
Ming Yueqing nodded, her eyes were red: "My father and mother passed away, leaving me alone, and I came to join my relatives." ”
Seeing that she was about to cry, the man was at a loss and spoke incoherently: "Girl, you...... Don't cry...... I...... Over here...... You ......"
Finally, he simply turned around and howled into the humble courtyard.
"Hui Niang, come on!"
"Here we are."
A gentle voice sounded, and after a burst of footsteps, a woman with clear eyebrows walked out.
"What's the matter, but I forgot something?" The woman crossed the threshold and saw a strange girl with red eyes, and couldn't help but be stunned, "What's wrong?" ”
The man scratched his head and looked entangled: "This girl said that she was here to find relatives, but there is really no family surnamed Ming on this street!" ”
Hui Niang looked at Ming Yueqing, and saw that she was thinly dressed, with a simple but clean style, so she stepped forward and took her hand directly: "It's cold outside, let's go into the house and say." ”
"Yes, go into the house, go into the house!" The man looked at Mingyue's red cheeks and patted his head, "Look at me, I didn't even notice, hehe." ”
Ming Yueqing was amused by his actions: "Thank you." ”
"What's polite, the home is simple, but after all, it's a little better than the outside." Hui Niang patted the back of her hand, "Come in." ”
The man was about to enter the house, and Hui Niang glanced at him helplessly: "Aren't you going out yet?" It's going to be late for a while. ”
"Huh? Ah, I'm leaving, I almost forgot! ”
When the man heard this, he turned around and was about to leave,
As Hui Niang said, the house was very simple, but it was clean, and there was a small charcoal basin burning near the bed.
Ming Yueqing was a little surprised, she didn't expect such a family to burn a charcoal basin so early, even in Qingshan Village, which is backed by a big mountain, no one would burn a charcoal pot early in the morning to keep warm.
Just when Ming Yueqing was puzzled, Hui Niang walked directly to the bed, pulled open the cups that were slightly piled up outside, and bent down.
Only then did Ming Yueqing see that there was still a child sleeping on the bed.
"Girl, you sit first." Hui Niang reached out and touched the child's forehead, obviously relieved.
There was a faint smell of medicine in the room, and Ming Yueqing looked at the child lying on the bed, about two years old, and her face was a little red.
"Are you sick?"
"Well, it's a little hot." Hui Niang nodded, "I'm much better now after taking the medicine." ”
She looked at Ming Yueqing and smiled: "The girl's surname is Ming?" ”
"Yes." Ming Yueqing rubbed her cold hands in the charcoal basin and lowered her eyes, "I have a distant relative who lives here, but I can't find him." ”
"I came here yesterday, and I wanted to inquire, but the people here are closed, and no one pays attention to me no matter how I knock."
Ming Yueqing raised her head, her face a little dazed, "But what happened, why didn't everyone seem to want to contact strangers?" ”
"Hey......" Hui Niang sighed, "There has been a big event recently, which is related to the nobles, everyone is just protecting themselves, and they don't want to get caught on fire." ”
Ming Yueqing's eyes flashed: "Self-preservation? Is someone threatening you? ”
"I didn't ...... No! ”
Hui Niang hurriedly denied it, and when she finished speaking, she realized that her reaction was too excited, she brushed the hair behind her ears, and her eyes fell on the child on the bed.
"How can it be, we are just poor people who rely on our strength to eat, how can someone threaten us."
Ming Yueqing didn't speak, judging from the reactions of Hui Niang and others, she became more and more sure that there must have been something in the past few years, otherwise everyone wouldn't be so secretive.
At this moment, the child in the bed moved, and seemed to wake up.
"Mother......
