The daughter-in-law of the wooden stake settled Shaohua's mother and son, for fear of suffocating them, she didn't dare to cover the lid tightly, and she was afraid that Lai Touzhang would come over to check and spread the freshly broken sorghum stalks on the water tank at will. After checking both sides, he walked back, but Lai Touzhang broke in, startling both mother and son, Mu Xiaoshu subconsciously clenched the mallet, but let the stake daughter-in-law block it.

A short, middle-aged man with a melon skin hat, about forty years old, with a long thin braid behind him, and a sleazy face. As soon as his eyes swept to the plump figure of the stake daughter-in-law, he immediately bent his small eyes flatteringly.

"Yo, stake daughter-in-law, you're the only one at home." Although the stake daughter-in-law's figure has been out of shape, the rich chest still makes Lai's eyes straight.

Mu Xiaoshu was angry at Lai Touzhang's naked lewd appearance, and rushed over angrily and shouted: "And me! ”

Lai Touzhang spat at him, "Stinky boy, get out of the way, don't intervene when adults talk to children." ”

Mu Xiaoshu clenched the mallet, and he was like a wolf with a stick, so that Lai Touzhang did not dare to make a mistake. "Hmph, my father is not here, you don't want to bully my mother!"

"Idiot!" Just when Mu Xiaoshu was secretly rejoicing, he could scare Lai Touzhang, but when he heard his mother scolding fiercely, he reached out and grabbed his ears and pulled him behind him.

Sure enough, Lai Touzhang was originally a little timid about Mu Xiaoshu's mallet, but when he heard his words, he immediately laughed again, "It turns out that the wooden stake is not there." ”

The stake daughter-in-law felt a headache for her son's stupidity, and her face still made a fierce look, "Do you want to do it?" My man isn't here, but he's coming back soon, and you'd better get out of here at once, or I'll rip off a few hairs on your head. She glanced at Lai's melon-skin hat, and when she saw that he paused cautiously, she couldn't help but hum twice.

Because of the spots on the top of the head, there are several places where no hair can grow, so Lai Touzhang is very precious to the only remaining hair. "Hmph, shrew, forget it, uncle, I don't care about you today. I heard that you picked up a pot-bellied woman and came back, but now what about her? ”

The daughter-in-law of the wooden stake said secretly, and sure enough, she came to Shaohua and them, and immediately scolded: "You are worried even if you have a belly, you are really stinky and shameless!" ”

Lai Tou was so angry that he shouted, "Where do I stink and don't have a face, no, no, what does it matter to me if I want to be embarrassed or not, let me ask you!" After thinking about it, he almost fell on the stake daughter-in-law's way, he didn't come to tease the little daughter-in-law today.

The stake daughter-in-law straightened her chest and raised her head disdainfully, "You come one step too late and let Xiaoshu and his father send him out." ”

Lai Tou's eyes trembled with her movements, and he reluctantly pulled back to his senses, "Send it out?" You're bluffing me! I know that she just gave birth, and a woman ran out before she even went out of confinement, who would believe it! ”

The daughter-in-law of the stake deliberately twisted her body, causing Lai's head to flicker, "You don't believe it, her man came to pick her up, and Xiaoshu and his father sent it out, you think I'm happy to raise people at home, even if my family is poor, I have to wait for an egg every day, why am I so good to someone I don't know!" Seeing Lai Touzhang's eyes straightened, she held the flat shoulder again, scaring Lai Touzhang like a turtle with a shrunken head, and quickly turned her eyes, "You don't believe that you have found it yourself, anyway, it's not the first time you've turned over my house." ”

The wooden stake house is not big, a hall house, the left side leads to the kitchen, and the right side is a kang shop under the curtain. Lai Touzhang listened to her words, walked around left and right, knocked on everything that could be hidden, and sure enough, there was no sound. He walked to the stove and picked up a bowl, and deliberately slammed it on the ground, so that the stake daughter-in-law did not dare to move.

Lai Touzhang glanced around and asked sneeringly, "Did you really send it away?" "It's easy to hide an adult, but it's not easy to hide a newborn baby, especially if he falls like this, anyone who can crawl and walk will be scared to cry.

"Don't believe it!" The stake daughter-in-law saw that nothing was happening, and shouted bravely.

Mu Xiaoshu had already stepped forward with a mallet, his eyes were as wide as cowbells, Lai Touzhang exhaled fiercely, and walked out to himself. "Shhhh It's really unlucky, the white silver just let you lose it! Hum! Lai Touzhang took a sip at the stake daughter-in-law, shook his sleeves, and swaggered out.

Mu Xiaoshu chased him all the way to the door, making sure that he wouldn't turn back, and then hurriedly ran back, "Hey, Ah Niang, why did he walk so neatly today, he didn't even look at it." ”

The stake daughter-in-law climbed out with Shaohua in her arms, and looked worriedly at the child in her arms, but he was sleeping soundly, as if the shock just now had no effect on him. The stake daughter-in-law breathed a sigh of relief: "Stinky boy, don't hurry up and help help Mo Niang up." Mu Xiaoshu hurriedly moved a stool for Shaohua to sit down, and listened to the daughter-in-law of the wooden stake explain to Shaohua: "Mo Niang, don't mind, that Lai Touzhang just now went to various houses to eat and drink, and bullied the girl." I'm afraid that if you look so good and let him see it, you will definitely suffer. ”

Shaohua shook her head and said she didn't care, but just now he smashed it, and even she was scared, but the child in her arms slept without moving, making her think that the child had an accident. I probed the child's snort, and felt him stretch his hands and feet in his arms, and my heart was settled.

Although I didn't see what Lai Touzhang looked like, from his voice and tone, he must be a hooligan ruffian. Shaohua couldn't understand how he could be so arrogant, could he be in the same group as the head of the village, "Who is it, why are you so arrogant?" ”

The stake daughter-in-law sighed and cleaned up the broken bowls on the ground, "Who knows, I heard that it is someone who has a relationship in Beijing, in short, the village head is polite to him, and we have to admit it." "There are only a few bowls in the house, and now there is one less, which is really distressing.

When Shaohua heard Jingli, her heart sank, could it be that Yan Kaizhi sent someone to find her.

But with Yan Kaizhi's personality, it is impossible for him to meet such a ruffian, and the Li family is a group of scholars, and they will never disdain this kind of homeless people. You Ning has just come to the capital, and it is impossible to know so many people, who will it be.

Just when Shaohua was puzzled, Lai Touzhang had already gone straight to the path outside the village, and when he saw one person standing in the open space, he hurriedly rushed over. Before the person came to him, his body had already bent over and smiled angrily: "Master Mo, the daughter-in-law of the stake said that the person just sent away." ”

The person standing in front of Lai Touzhang was Mo Yan, and his indifferent and serious appearance made Lai Touzhang dare not make a mistake at all, and vaguely knew that he was a nobleman in the capital. His eyes glanced at the car, and he knew that the one sitting inside was the main one, but Mo Yan snorted coldly, and he was so frightened that he immediately retracted his neck.

"But where did you send it?" Mo Yan asked coldly.

"I don't know about that." Lai scratched his head and smirked.

"Then you don't want to ask!" Mo Yan's eyes narrowed, looking like a vicious wolf, and his head trembled when he saw it.

"But Mo Ye, this ......" Lai Touzhang originally wanted to say that Mo Yan hadn't given the money yet, but he stared at him like this, his eyes fell on the saber he clenched, and he shook his head and waved his hand, "No, it's okay, I'll ask." "Just kidding, the fact that the knife was not unsheathed already made him feel cold and shivering, and if it was unsheathed, his head would not have to hit the ground.

Just as Lai Touzhang turned around to leave, suddenly the people in the carriage made a sound and solved Lai Touzhang's predicament. "Mo Yan, forget it, don't ask, if it's really her, it should be going to the capital."

Mo Yan knew that the master had Shaohua in his heart, and he thought that she had become his own son, and the two would no longer intersect, and after a long time, Hongfang would let go. But the third princess said that several ladies had failed to win Hongfang's heart, and finally he nodded and agreed, Mo Yan couldn't help but run curiously to inquire, but found that the lady's beautiful eyes were completely beautiful.

He didn't dare to speculate whether Hongfang fell in love with the lady because of this pair of beautiful eyes, but Hongfang nodded, the third princess breathed a sigh of relief, and the queen mother also breathed a sigh of relief. Because the lady in Hongfang's eyes is the lady who has just been named the Marquis of Xiangyang, and the queen He Wanru is only a clan relative, but the sisters in the next room are the same as the Empress Dowager He.

Since Su Jin secretly entrusted the letter to Hongfang, he immediately sent people to search everywhere, if it wasn't for the fact that Xiangyang Mansion happened to be a guest, and the third princess insisted on pulling him to accompany him, Hongfang would have run out by himself.

Now, the family matter has been decided, but Hongfang found that he didn't have the heart to get married, thinking that Shaohua was missing in the palace with a big belly, he couldn't wait to enter the palace to find someone. Qingshu reminded him that the future princess was the queen mother's family, and he must not have an accident at this juncture, so Hongfang was silent for two days.

But day by day, he found that Shaohua's whereabouts were still a mystery, and he finally couldn't sit still, he knew that it was impossible for him to let go of Shaohua's life and death. Even if he sent her back to the Marquis of Xingyong's mansion safely, he knew that this was the case, he was not happy to fight Shaohua, and he wanted to marry her into the palace, at least he would not be worried about him like now.

Maybe Shaohua won't know that because of her disappearance, the entire capital will be boiling.

In the palace, the Li family, the Xingyong Marquis Mansion and the Dingxi Marquis Mansion, several people searched everywhere, but no one knew that the Three Kings' Mansion was the first to learn the news and the first to act.

finally found a clue, but the person left.

Mo Yan could understand Hongfang's loss at the moment, but he was also secretly glad in his heart: if they really found out, in what capacity would Hongfang bring Shaohua back. He sighed, turned over into the car, and was about to leave, but Lai Touzhang was so anxious that he grabbed Mo Yan's reins, "This master, for the sake of me working so hard to run errands, let's give a little reward." ”

He risked being chased and beaten by the stake daughter-in-law to give them a letter, and he had to ask for some foot fees.

"Get out!" Mo Yan scolded viciously, but he didn't expect Hongfang to throw out a silver ingot from the car, which hit Lai Touzhang's head and knocked his melon skin hat off, revealing half of his sparse skull.

"Yes, yes, yes." Lai Touzhang immediately saw that Qian was open-minded, and he didn't care about being exposed, and gave way to them with a smile.

The carriage ran forward, and Mo Yan couldn't help but complain, "Lord Shizi, you better go back, I'll just come for this little thing." ”

"I didn't say anything about looking for her, I just distracted myself." The man in the carriage said after a while, "Okay, stop muttering, go back." He only hoped that Shaohua had really been taken back by Yan Kaizhi.

Seeing the carriage go away, Lai Tou couldn't help but check the silver, thinking that he was really a noble person in the capital, and he was generous. Although he only ran once, this ingot of silver was enough for him to nourish for two or three months, but he didn't know which noble person in Shaohua was.

While thinking about whether to go to Widow Cao or go to the East Village to drink later, Lai Touzhang felt that he was carrying a piece of silver, and he was walking with wind. Suddenly, a steed rushed at him, and two paces in front of him caught the reins, so frightened that he fell to the ground, and almost peed his pants. I thought that the other party was coming to the street, so I hung my head and protected the silver in my arms.

But I heard the person on the horse say, "This big brother, I will inquire with you about someone." ”

When Lai Touzhang heard this, he was looking for someone again, and immediately got up and shouted: "Why do you inquire again, everyone uses me as a bag to inquire, right, give money to money, I don't know anything without money." Before he finished speaking, another ingot of silver fell down, and Lai Touzhang immediately rushed over like a hungry tiger pounced on a sheep, picked up the silver on the ground, and complimented the people on the horse with a smiling face: "This master, what do you want to ask, just ask, the little one must tell you everything he knows." ”

Yingjiu was very disgusted with a dog-legged person like Lai Touzhang, but he was ordered to come out to find someone, so he had to talk to him, "I heard a while ago that there was a pregnant woman nearby, about eight or nine months old. "The master of his own house was strictly grounded by the emperor, and except for the horses, a few of them ran errands. However, it was his own mother who disappeared, as well as the future little marquis, and Yingjiu didn't dare to say half a tired word.

Lai Touzhang looked at Yingjiu suspiciously, and said sneeringly: "Huh? Why did you come to her too? ”

Could it be that he is really a nobleman? In less than half an hour, two passers-by came to look for her, could it be the master of the palace. Lai Touzhang felt a thrill in his heart, and secretly thought that he must go back to find out carefully, maybe he can ask for another reward when he enters Beijing in the future.

"Who else?" Ying-jeou immediately became cautious.

Lai Touzhang replied honestly: "There was a Mo Ye just now, and there is another master who I don't know, and I also came to ask." I heard that there was such a person before, but I heard that she was picked up by her man. ”

"When?" Yingjiu was taken aback, if it was really Shaohua, where could a man come from to take her away.

Lai Touzhang pointed in the direction where Hongfang and they were going, and in the middle of speaking, a gust of wind passed in his ears, and his hat was blown over. "It's just been a short time, and it's still ...... Hey, why did you leave again? Tut-tut, what a nobleman, he made so much money at once. ”

Looking at Ying-jeou's galloping back, Lai Touzhang became more and more sure that he must have met a nobleman.
