Dongzi smiled and nodded his thanks, and quickly led Wu Er to the east courtyard of the city, where the people in the courtyard were busy with something, and the gate was not guarded, leaving a gap a full width of one person.

Dongzi stepped forward and shouted twice, but no one answered, Wu Er was impatient to wait, directly pushed the door and walked in, went straight to the main room in the backyard, and saw that he was about to push open the door with both hands, only to hear someone talking inside, "Childe, you can't drink anymore, this is the ninth pot, you are not comfortable, just talk to Wangcai, you can't waste your body so much." ”

Another voice replied vaguely, "There is no one in this world who cares about my life and death, all dead, all dead..."

Wu Er's hands exerted, and the two carved wooden doors were pushed open with a bang, and the master and servant who were competing for the wine jug inside were all stunned, Wangcai immediately stood up and asked sharply, "Who are you, why did you come in without notification?" ”

Dongzi hurriedly replied, "Our son-in-law is here to visit Mr. Chu, because the matter is urgent, and there is no one guarding outside the gate, so he came in directly." ”

Wangcai stomped his feet and cursed, "These snobbish guys, seeing that the young master is like this, they don't even do their work!" ”

Wu Er ignored him and cursed, stepped forward, took out the jade pendant in his arms, shook it in front of the drunken Chu Gehuan, and asked, "This is what you left in the box of the Fugui Restaurant?" ”

Chu Gehuan was so drunk that his eyes were blurred, and when he heard him ask, he really remembered it, and hurriedly rushed back to the lost beloved thing that day, stared hard for a long time, and suddenly grabbed the jade pendant in his hand, and said angrily, "This is mine, why did you pick it up?" ”

Wangcai was afraid that Wu Er would be annoyed, so he immediately stepped forward to thank him, "Thank you for this son's special visit to return the lost property, our son also sent a small one to look for it that day, but I didn't expect to be picked up by the son, thank you so much." Our son-in-law is drunk today, and he will come to the door to thank him in person another day. ”

Wu Er was impatient to listen to his ramblings, directly tugged at Chu Gehuan's collar, and asked in a cold voice, "This jade pendant, where did you get it, say it quickly!" ”

Chu Gehuan was rare and was quite clear just now, and at this moment he was already holding the jade pendant and playing drunk, "Let's go, let's go, my life is to stay alone for the rest of my life, she married the eldest brother, and you married the sick man, God just won't leave me one..."

Such a drunkard, even if he asked a thousand times, he couldn't ask any useful news, Wu Er was so angry that he broke his hand and was about to take the jade pendant back, Chu Gehuan naturally refused, Wu Er easily twisted his arm behind his back, and a hand knife slashed under his neck, Chu Gehuan, who didn't know anything about kung fu, naturally couldn't bear it, and immediately fell softly, and the jade pendant also fell.

Wangcai's eyes were round in shock, and he thought that Wu Er was going to kill his son-in-law, so he flew up and pounced on him, protected Chu Gehuan, and begged for mercy, "This son-in-law has something to say... It's good to say, our son-in-law is drunk, please don't kill him, that jade pendant is not our son-in-law, it is the boss's wife, and our son-in-law is also used for fun..."

Wu Er's eyes immediately narrowed, looking narrow and cold, "Boss lady, which boss lady?" ”

Wang Caise shrank for a moment, leaned next to his son, and replied, "It's the proprietress of the dock shop, she didn't have the money to open a shop, so she took this jade pendant, and our son liked it, so he kept it with him to play." ”

"What does the proprietress look like, but she has a delicate face, dark eyebrows, and a very good manner?"

Wangcai had a bitter face, and the appearance described by this son was too general, how could he compare, but think about it again, the pair of eyebrows of the proprietress are indeed darker than ordinary women, so he said, "I hear that there are seven points of similarity, the son might as well visit the Zhao family to have a look, the Zhao family lives in Yunjia Village, twenty miles south of the city, and it takes less than an hour to arrive by carriage." ”

Wu Er heard that there were seven points of similarity, and his face showed joy, and without saying a word, he got up and walked out of the room, Wangcai let out a long breath, and sat on the ground with his ass...

Mama Gui was waiting at the inn in a hurry, and when she heard Wu Er come back to tell Wangcai, she was also overjoyed, and said, "Pack up your things, let's go to Yunjia Village." ”

Lu Rui immediately took the maids and women to get busy, and the old shopkeeper saw that Huzi and Dongzi were all speechless and stopped, guessing their careful thoughts, so he spoke for them, "If the eldest sister really finds Miss Guifu, you can ask someone to send a message, and we people will rest assured." ”

Mama Gui said with a smile, "Thanks to my brother's attention these days, if I really find the right one this time, I will immediately ask someone to come back to deliver the letter, as well as the four hundred taels of silver bounty from these two little brothers, which is a lot." ”

Dongzi and Huzi were immediately overjoyed, stepped forward to salute and thank them, and after a few more gossips, the green rui reported and saluted, and the old lady took everyone to say goodbye.

The carriage was walking leisurely on the official road, and Lu Rui glanced at the old lady who closed her eyes and was recuperating, reached out and took a soft cushion behind her, and asked cautiously, "Mama, that little guy calls Miss the boss, is it miss... Hmm..."

Mama Gui glanced at her lightly, lifted the green gauze curtain to look out, and sighed in response, "As long as Miss is alive, as long as you find her wherever she is, everything else is easy to say." ”

Although Lu Rui disagreed in her heart, she still didn't dare to ask any more...

In Yunjia Village, it is the time of slack farming, and the bread and grain in the fields of every household have been hoeed twice, and the grass has been pulled, as long as the old people have nothing to do to go for a walk twice, and it is good to see that they are not spoiled by the beasts that come down the mountain.

The remaining young and strong men and descendants almost all gathered in the Zhao family, helped build the adobe house on the edge of the paddy field, and began to help build a warehouse.

The Zhao family and his wife wandered around their yard for several days, and did not find a spacious place suitable for building a warehouse, and the only vacant place in the East Garden was not willing to move, so they simply directly added three courtyards to store grain on weekdays, and after a few years, the family population increased, and they could also be separated out at any time to make a place to live.

Seven or eight carpenters and plasterers were invited from the city, plus people from the village to help carry bricks and tiles and do chores.

Ruixue these days, her stomach is like the wind blowing, she quickly grows bigger, her body is much heavier, she is sleepy and eats every day, and she has no energy to manage everyone's eating and drinking, of course, she has to take care of it, Zhao Fengnian also absolutely disagrees, so she can't do it, so she changed Jin Zhi'er to go to the dock shop to help Cuilan, and then transferred Zhang's sister-in-law back to preside over the overall situation.

Sister-in-law Zhang is a capable person, she took one hundred taels of silver for the preparation of expenses, took two pomegranates and golden branches, and arranged everyone's three meals a day, even tea and dry tobacco, and Ruixue was completely idle.

On this day, it was the time to go to the beam, everyone shouted the trumpet to lift the beam, set off firecrackers, kill chickens and worship the gods of all walks of life, it was very noisy, Ruixue was upset when she heard it, so she took Caiyun to sit on the edge of the paddy field.

When Zhao Fengnian saw that she liked the coolness under the shade of the tree, and made the wooden windows of the three adobe houses, he asked the carpenter to make a large wooden couch, polished it to the point that there was no half burr, only a layer of varnish, and then put it in the shade of the tree, Ruixue sat on it to drink tea and eat snacks, which was very comfortable, so as long as she had free time, she had to come here for a walk.

Caiyun spread a blanket and soft cushions, helped Ruixue to sit down, and ran to Zhang Jiang's house not far away to ask for a pot of hot water to make tea, the old lady of the Zhang family was busy wiping inside and out, placing her own cabinets and other things, seeing Caiyun come in, she recognized that it was the little maid next to the lady of the main family, so she stepped forward with a smile and said with a smile, "Why is Miss Caiyun here?" I was about to go to my wife to see her, and thank her for building this new house for our mother and son. ”

Caiyun returned the salute with a smile, "Aunt Zhang doesn't need to be polite, our wife has the best heart, you and Brother Zhang are working hard to guard this paddy field, and Madam naturally can't let you live badly." Today's house is noisy, I accompany my wife to hide in the shade of the tree outside, and my aunt helps me boil a pot of water and make tea for my wife. ”

As soon as Mrs. Zhang heard that the lady of the main family was outside, she immediately trotted to the stove, washed the kettle several times, and then sat on the stove, and when the water boiled, she carried it in her hand and accompanied Caiyun to the shade of the tree to greet Ruixue.

Ruixue ate a little more in the morning, and her stomach was much more comfortable when she walked around, so she felt extremely sleepy again, and she sat with a sore back, so she simply lay on the soft cushion, looked up at the clouds and looked at the leaves, and fell asleep unconsciously.

When Caiyun came back and saw this, she lightened her steps, signaled Aunt Zhang not to speak, and reached out to rummage in the basket, but found that she had taken a blanket less, and Aunt Zhang's family was poor, not to mention the blanket, she couldn't even take out a good quilt that was not patched, so she had to gesture and ask Aunt Zhang to stay and take care of it for a while, and then trot home to get it.

Aunt Zhang sat quietly in the shade of the tree and waited, but after a long time, she didn't see Caiyun come back, she remembered that there were still many things at home that had not been picked up, and pondered, this place can be seen clearly at the door of her own house, she went back to work, and came out to see it twice, that is, after all, in broad daylight, it is close to the outside of the village, how can there be no danger.

The dense canopy of the trees shaded the scorching sun, the summer breeze blew gently, there was a coolness, Rui Xue slept very sweetly, in the dream suddenly felt that something in the stomach moved, she suddenly woke up, to reach out to touch, felt the little hard piece, slowly sliding in the belly, I couldn't help but smile on the face, I am afraid that the two children in the stomach to move their hands and feet.

In her previous life, she had also heard the women in the factory talk about parenting, as if she was nearly five months pregnant, there should be fetal movement, the child is so lively, it should be very good growth and development.

Looking up, there was no one around, and I guessed that Caiyun must have gone back to get food and other things. Since she was pregnant, this is an extremely rare time alone, she got off the wooden couch, walked to the river, found a big stone to sit on, waved the branches in her hand and slapped the water to play, remembering the strangeness of Zhao Fengnian in the past few days, she frowned and sighed.

Since that day in the restaurant, waiting for him to talk about business and come back, she felt that he looked a little bad, under the inquiry, he didn't say, although he was laughing as usual, and cared about her as usual, but she intuitively thought that he had something to hide from him, and then asked twice, he really couldn't hide, so he said that he would tell her after she gave birth, which made her feel angry, and simply never mentioned it again.

However, when she often woke up at night, the person was not around, either sitting in the courtyard silently, or not knowing where to go, which really made her worry, it is said that husband and wife should not be separated, should not be suspicious of each other, but she just can't help but wonder, is he so abnormal, is it because of... The woman who made him vomit blood?

The river was gurgling, but it couldn't take away the sour doubts in her heart, and gradually she thought about it, and her heart was full of the past of the woman and her own man, or whether they had a future, but she didn't know that an unexpected danger had quietly approached her...
