On the side of the street, under a long wall, behind the sun and the shade, the sun shadow is thick.

Here, pedestrians are three or five. In the scene that Cao saw, a man and a woman were middle-aged and grabbed a young woman. Occasionally, a few people stopped and watched, not squeaking or persuading, as if watching a play.

Cao didn't go straight over, but walked around slowly, waiting to see who the young woman was.

Just about to cross the road, suddenly a carriage came, and the three masters and servants of the Cao family were so frightened that they hurriedly retreated. When the carriage had passed, the young woman was seen freeing from the hands of the two men. The middle-aged woman panted and pointed in the direction where the young woman ran away and said, "Xiangjun! You give me stop, stop! ”

The young woman was so frightened that she ran and looked back, fearing that the two would follow.

In fact, middle-aged men and women followed, but their strength was insufficient, and they couldn't hold people.

Cao Shi has stepped up his pace so far. I saw that the big skirt under her legs was like a big bamboo broom, blowing up the dust on the road. Guiyuan and Yuyuan are still lining one side.

After chasing a little bit, Cao couldn't run, so he rested in the corner of a house.

Gui Yuan gasped and said, "Madam, do you look like ......?"

Cao Shi bent down, hooked a handkerchief with the fingers in his hand, propped himself on his knees, and said, "It's not Huiyuan's girl!" It's going to be good! ”

Yuyuan said: "That person still calls her Xiangjun, not Huiyuan, wife." ”

Cao Shi turned his head and glared at Yuyuan, straightened up, and poked Yuyuan's forehead again, and said, "You still have to do business with me for a few days." There was no effort at all. What do you think, what identity did the girl get in? What can those two girls be? I wonder if there is a story in it now! ”

But the two middle-aged men and women had already chased away, and the master and servant of the Cao family couldn't catch up again to see what was going on.

Cao Shi was helpless and said regretfully: "It's really a wrong opportunity to catch the tail." ”

Gui Yuan said: "Go back and wait, I'm not afraid that she won't come back." As soon as we went back, we told the old lady what to see. ”

Cao raised his hand and said, "Catch the thief and scratch the dirty, what should we show the old lady?" Tell me what you believe too? What's more, the old lady is distressed by the girl, and there are so many things, which time has the old lady theorized positively? Don't say that you really took Huiyuan back to confront anything, even if you take her, we can't either. It's good that I just got in touch with Dongfu, don't give it a chance to deal with us because of this! ”

Seeing the wind and the rudder, the two of them said, "Mrs. is thinking far-reaching. ”

When he wanted to turn around again, he suddenly saw a person popping out of the distance of the road.

Gui Yuan was alert, saw it first, and pointed it to Cao's family.

Yuyuan was about to call someone, but Cao grabbed her. The three of them ducked back slightly.

In this way, I saw Huiyuan coming out of the mecca with a frightened look, looking around, and went to a small alley.

The three masters and servants of the Cao family followed all the way, turning around and turning around, and they didn't know how many roads they walked, and finally came to a dilapidated courtyard. Look from afar.

Huiyuan arrived outside the courtyard, looked left and right a few times, and then pushed the door to enter.

Cao waited for Huiyuan to go in before he appeared and followed. When I got to the door, I tried to push the door, but the inside of the door was closed. There was no way, Cao's heart was like an ant, standing restless and restless.

Yuyuan was unwilling, and he was just robbed by Guiyuan in Kuimenlou, and now he can't find something to show his face. So he took a few steps back and looked at the wall, this courtyard was slightly lower than the other courtyards, and there were some trees outside. Waiting for Cao Shi and Guiyuan to react, Yuyuan climbed the tree early, squatted on the wall, and jumped into the courtyard along the stump of his head.

When Yuyuan arrived inside, he first heard a cough. I heard the voices of two women muttering and talking, and among them was the voice of Huiyuan.

Yuyuan's heart shook, and he quietly approached the courtyard gate, and quickly opened them.

Cao Shi and Guiyuan saw the door open, their faces were happy, and they strode straight in.

While walking, Cao's didn't pay much attention to the wait-and-see, only a glance, although the small courtyard was dilapidated, but all around were cleaned up quite clean, such as the dust on the table was suddenly wiped out of the new, there was still wet soil under the ground that had not been dried, and it was clear to see that there were things in this place first, and only recently it was sorted out and cleaned up before showing traces.

Walking a little towards the front hall door, the sound inside became clearer. Through a half-hidden door, I vaguely saw the corners of Huiyuan's skirt trembling. Cao thought that the people inside were going to come out, so he dodged sideways.

Suddenly, I heard the sound of an old man coughing, then heard the sound of pouring tea and touching bowls, and another old woman said some words of relief.

Gui Yuan whispered to Cao's family: "Madam, let's go in and ask for clarification." ”

The corners of Cao's mouth were smiling, and he shook his head slightly. At that time, Yu Qi had just entered the house, and he didn't like to talk much, and the two girls who followed him, Hui Yuan and Sanxi, didn't say much, where they came from, what experience they had, the people in the house didn't know, and the old lady gave a sentence afterwards, generally saying that Yu Qi was looking for relatives in the south to come to Beijing and encountered bad things and waited for the clouds to cover up the past.

At present, Huiyuan's behavior is not like a stranger entering and exiting, but like entering a house. Thinking about it later, what does this have to do with Yu Qi? Is there any ulterior motive for Yu Qi to enter the mansion? The old lady was also bewitched by them? So Yu Qi is related to those people who returned to the old Xinjiang department? Who are the people here?

Cao's suddenly brought out a lot of doubts, Gui Yuan reminded her to ask, one was afraid that there would be helpers nearby, the other was afraid of startling snakes, and the third was that after all, the wife of the mansion was disgraceful to sneak into someone else's house like this.

Cao signaled to retreat, wanting to return.

At this time, Huiyuan came out, and the two people inadvertently rubbed shoulders and looked at each other.

Huiyuan was holding a spittoon in his hand, and when he saw Cao's, he was shocked, and the spittogram in his hand fell to the ground with a "clang", and it was broken, splashing thick reddish-brown sputum inside.

Cao couldn't help but gag, and hurriedly picked up the handkerchief in his hand, covered his mouth and nose, and looked away.

Huiyuan was at a loss for a while, stunned like a wooden chicken. At the right time, an old woman's voice came from the hall: "Xiangjun, pour water and ......" The old man's coughing sound continued to be heard.

Hui Yuan woke up at this time, and didn't talk to Cao, turned around and went to bring a wooden spoon of water in.

After a while, Huiyuan came out and closed the door slightly with his backhand. Walked down and bowed back to Cao's side.

Cao was frightened of deception and retreated slightly.

Huiyuan lowered her eyebrows and said, "Madam." ”

Cao Shi covered his mouth and nose, looked around, and then looked back at Huiyuan's face, and said, "Why are you here?" Why isn't it in the house? ”

Huiyuan smiled and said, "Madam, I told the girl, I ...... I'm out. In the future, Sanxi and Zisu will serve the girl. ”

Cao pretended to be concerned and said, "Is it your girl who treats you badly?" Or are those two rotten hooves looking for your short? Can't tolerate you? ”

Hui Yuan only hooked his head and shook slightly.

Cao said: "You go back with me, and stay with me in the future." Then he looked around, and then pointed into the room, and said, "Who are they in there?" She was afraid that she was a person who returned to the old department of Xinjiang, but Huiyuan was so humble and polite, and she didn't look like it.

At this time, I heard the door behind me "squeak" and opened. An old woman with neat sideburns walked out.

The old woman smiled and said, "Xiangjun, who are these ladies and misses, why don't you invite them in and sit?" ”

When Hui Yuan heard this, she was so nervous that she wanted to turn around and go back, but she couldn't, so she only waved her hand behind her head and motioned for the old woman to enter the house.

The old woman seemed to see something, nodded her head a few times, and went in with worry, and closed the door a little, but the person looked out through the crack in the door.

Who is this man? That's Huiyuan's mother, and the cough in it is her father. That is, he mentioned it to Yu Qi in Xianyuan Nunnery, and at that time, in Xianyuan Nunnery, Hui Yuan said to Yu Qi: "My father did a big business in the capital, and later let the traitor frame him, which ruined the family and caused a lot of debts. The creditor, an old eunuch surnamed Hai, deliberately lent money, and later saw that my father was unable to repay the debt, and asked me to fill the house as a concubine, because he was old, and he was an old eunuch who was expelled from the palace, my mother said that he could not go anyway, and secretly let me avoid here to steal my life. Pity my two brothers, sisters-in-law and nephews, because of the family business, they were beaten to death, poisoned by poison, leaving the old father and the old mother, and the two concubines of the old father saw that the family was ruined, and they ran away with others one by one...... I entered this nunnery because of my master's affection, originally I was given monthly money, but now, the family situation is even worse, without monthly money, the master treats me more affectionately. The day before yesterday, I asked someone to ask for a few taels of silver, thinking about giving the master some money, but the master was too young to arrest me for a private meeting, and insisted on taking away what my mother left me......"

I just met the middle-aged man and woman on the street, and the woman was the aunt my father had married, and she ran away. Because I happened to meet her, I thought about holding it, so that I could give it to the old eunuch surnamed Hai to reward myself.

Now, how does Huiyuan answer Cao's questions?

I can't answer, and I don't dare to answer. If you really want to say it, won't you lead out the life of Yu Qi's net worth?

Seeing that she didn't say anything, Cao Shi changed his words and said, "Since you don't want to say it, then I'll go back first." Oh, I'll see if there's a house here, and the merchant is looking for a place to stock up, but I happened to come in and bump into you. It's either a family or not a family. That ......"

Before he finished speaking, Huiyuan knelt down and kowtowed to Cao's fiercely.

Hui Yuan burst into tears and said, "I beg my wife to go back and don't tell people that I live here." ”

When these words came out, Cao's curiosity was suspended, and those favorite little words on weekdays flared up again. The thin eyebrows were raised lightly, and he said, "Then you tell me the truth, I don't want to tell anyone." ”

Huiyuan knows that now that looking at the situation, the Cao family is suspicious, and he will definitely go back to spread the word or increase his inquiry. If this continues, something will happen to Yu Qi in the house. It's hard to settle down here, and besides, the old eunuch surnamed Hai is still waiting!

Huiyuan immediately made a decision and made it clear: "Mrs., it is my father and mother. They were very sick, and I ministered to her with the girl in order to save some money. Now that the girl doesn't need me, I'll come out. But I didn't explain it to the girl when I came out, so I begged my wife not to go out and talk about it. ”

Although Cao's doubts were somewhat solved, he felt that something was wrong. Thinking about it again, he first promised Dongfu to help the uncle do this family business. Now that Huiyuan said so, it is also difficult to see her, so it is better to push the boat with your hands, give Huiyuan a favor, envelop her back, and sell a favor to Dongfu. She had a lot of doubts in her heart, and she didn't need to ask if she thought like this at the moment. changed his smiling face and helped Huiyuan up.

Cao Shi smiled: "In this way, your real name is Xiangjun, isn't it?" Hui Yuan was given to you by the girl? ”

Huiyuan didn't answer well, so she only hooked her head, and the corners of her mouth pulled a few times, but she couldn't count it back.

Seeing that Huiyuan was silent, Cao wanted to ask something but didn't ask, Yuyuan had a wit, grabbed Huiyuan in the past, and said, "Sister, otherwise if you go back to the house with us, Mrs. will definitely be better to you than Miss Qi." What do you think? ”

If you can't dispel Cao's current curiosity, you will have to do bad things. Parents are behind again, and many lies cannot be told too publicly.

So Hui Yuan said, "May I think about it, ma'am?" ”

Cao Shi grabbed Huiyuan: "Girl, don't think about it!" Come back to your house with me today, I want to make you beautiful, you were a girl a few days ago, and I will give your parents a guarantee today, how about letting you be our grandmother? ”

After hearing this, Huiyuan was so frightened that her legs trembled, and she knelt down straight again.

Huiyuan thought, once this happens, how many people will thank Jinghua? How to say goodbye to Yu Qi?
