Chapter Seventy-Eight: A Mystery of His Whereabouts
Wen Yi came to the main courtyard, planning to go to the eldest aunt and grandmother Yu and the second aunt Duan to say goodbye first. asked for the latest news, but saw that the people in the courtyard were a little flustered, and two girls were still sobbing quietly under the porch. She walked in slowly, and heard the girls talking in a whisper, saying that the seventh young master Wen An and the sixth young lady Wen Hui had disappeared after a quarrel, and no one could be found anywhere.
She remembered the conversation between Fang Cai Wenhui and Liu Dongning, and her heart sank a little, because she thought that her grandmother was still waiting for news, so she went to the house first and asked the girls to report to Mrs. Yu and others. The girl waited for a cup of tea in the back room before she turned out and said, "Our old lady is resting, Mrs. Gu said, Miss Nine has a heart, don't worry, when there is news outside, we will naturally send someone to spread the word to each family, now please Miss Nine and wait with peace of mind." ”
Wen Yi was silent, swept around the room out of the corner of her eyes, and saw that Ruyi was not in front of her, so she knew that she was mostly waiting in the back room, but it was not good to openly call her out for questioning at the moment. I had to ask: "I don't know if the second aunt can be in the house?" ”
The girl hung her head and replied, "The second lady is out." ”
Wen Yi asked again: "Do you know where you went?" ”
"The slave doesn't know."
Wen Yi stared at the girl, and saw that she hadn't looked up, and she couldn't tell if she was shirking, or if she really didn't know, but when it came to this, she couldn't force people to speak, right? Wen Yi had no choice but to say goodbye and stand in front of the door, a little depressed.
There was some restlessness in the warm pavilion, and it seemed that someone was crying. Wen Yi heard that the cry seemed to be soft, and her heart jumped, so she turned around and walked over there.
In the warm pavilion, Kerou lowered her head and sobbed, her eyes were red, her little face was snow-white, she was crying breathlessly, but she didn't dare to make too much noise. Wen Xian was sitting at the table and was anxious, trying to calm down and asked her, "Good sister, don't cry!" Beware of waking up the old lady! What did the sixth sister say to the seventh brother?! Why do you say that he may have sneaked out?! ”
Kerou choked up and said, "I'm really not talking nonsense...... The tenth sister also heard it...... The sixth young lady said to the seventh young master...... He will only play tricks and lose his temper here, but in fact, it is useless at all, unless he drives those thieves away, and her sister will be convinced...... At that time, when the seventh young master heard this, his eyes turned red, and he turned his head and ran, and he never saw him again...... I just heard from his maid that the sword he likes to carry with him the most is gone. I guessed that the Seventh Young Master probably ran out, otherwise for no reason, what did he do with that sword?! ”
Wen Xian's face turned pale, her body shook for a while, she calmed down, and then turned her head to ask Wen Juan: "Tenth sister, your sixth sister is really ...... So you said?! ”
Wen Juan nodded vigorously: "That's almost what the sixth sister said!" I asked her at the time, what should I do if the seventh brother really ran out to find the thief? The sixth sister said that the seventh brother didn't have that courage, it was just a child's temper, and it would be fine after a while. She also looked a little frightened, and said worriedly: "Fifth sister...... If the Seventh Brother is really ...... Out...... So what to do? Or...... Shall we tell my wife? ”
"Can't tell!" A figure rushed in from outside the door and almost bumped into Wen Yi, she hurriedly avoided it and looked at it, but it was Liu Dongning, who she had seen just now, couldn't help frowning, and retreated to the side.
Liu Dongning said to Wen Xian Wenjuan with an anxious face: "Don't tell the elders!" Sisters, just for the sake of their daily friendship, don't leak it out! He waved at Kerou again: "Good girl, I beg you." Don't cry, or you will turn around and attract the people in the house over there, so how can you live?! ”
Kerou put away her crying, looked at him in a daze, suddenly her eyes turned red, and the tears fell again.
Wen Xian hurriedly said: "Cousin Liu, this is not fun! If you don't tell the elders, how can you gather people to find the seventh brother?! If he really goes out, there will be chaos outside, what if there is a mistake?! No, I have to report it! At the very least, we'll have to talk to our wife! ”
"Good sister!" Liu Dongning was anxious for a while, and he didn't care about any male and female defense, so he blocked it with both arms, and stopped Wen Xian. Wen Xian was hit by him on the arm, and immediately took a few steps back with a red face, stomped his feet and said, "Cousin Liu, what are you...... What is this doing?! ”
Liu Dongning hurriedly made amends, and begged in a low voice: "Good sister, the sixth cousin and the seventh cousin are siblings, close relatives of flesh and blood, how can you not care about him?" She was unintentional, and blurted out without paying attention for a while, you know, she has always been a straight person, but she has no bad intentions. As soon as she finished speaking, she regretted it, and when she heard that her seventh cousin was gone, she searched all over the house to find it, and she was about to get sick. If this is the time to tell the elders about this. She will be punished again. Isn't that even worse?! Please sisters, for the sake of daily love, tolerate her this time, and when the seventh cousin comes back safely, I will definitely persuade her to make amends to everyone! ”
Wen Juan sneered: "Can Cousin Liu really persuade her?" Don't let her be coquettish when the time comes, you will pretend to be okay again! ”
Wen Xian glared at her, turned around and said to Liu Dongning seriously: "Cousin Liu, I don't want to watch the sixth sister be punished, but what matters now is the safety of the seventh brother!" If the seventh brother is okay, I naturally won't blame the sixth sister, but now that the seventh brother is missing, of course we have to be anxious. Don't stop me, you can't hide this from the elders! ”
Liu Dongning hurriedly said: "The seventh cousin will be fine, where does he have the guts?!" He usually has a time when he uses a sword to chop things out of anger, maybe he hides in a corner and gets angry? Just ask the people below to find it quietly, good sister, please ......"
Wen Xian wanted to leave, Liu Dongning wanted to stop her, and then there was a cold-spoken Wen Juan next to her, Duan Kerou, who turned her back and sobbed in a low voice, and Wen He and Wen Xiao, who were scared by this chaos and wanted to cry, the warm pavilion was so lively that it had already alarmed the girl in the opposite room to see what was going on. Wen Yi frowned, and simply turned around and went out.
Arrived at the porch. A girl suddenly ran over on the right hand side and almost collided with her, but fortunately stopped in time and saluted her with a red face: "Miss Nine, I'm sorry, the slave is rude." ”
Wen Yi recognized her as if she was Wen Hui's girl, what was her name Treading Snow, and when she saw her holding a teapot and a cup in her hand, she smiled: "What is this?" Even if you want to pour tea, you should be careful in case you bump into someone. If the tea is overturned, the teapot and cup are broken, and it will be troublesome if it burns people. ”
Taxue bowed her head and said: "Miss Nine forgive me, the slave maid poured tea for our young lady, but I couldn't find her after pouring it, I was worried that she would have trouble with Miss Duan again, so I was anxious, you have a lot of it, please spare the slave maid!" ”
Wen Yi usually sees the girls around Wen Hui, few of them are humble and polite, and I often hear Wen Juan talk about Wen Hui's people relying on her momentum to give others a look, and now seeing that this girl is quite polite, she has added a little favor, and it is not difficult for her, so she said: "I just came out of it, and the sixth sister is not in the house." ”
Treading the snow was stunned: "Huh?!" But the young lady was clearly in the same place as the young master, and the slave saw her standing outside the door for a while, and disappeared in the blink of an eye, if she hadn't entered the house, where would she go?! ”
"How would I know?" Wen Yi said lightly, "If you look elsewhere, maybe you will hide in a corner and sulk?" It will be fine in a while. Without waiting for Taxue to respond, he walked out, and Tomoock held back the smile on the corner of his mouth and followed.
After walking a distance, Wen Yi's pace gradually slowed down again. She looked at the several moon cave doors in front of her that led to different directions, and she hesitated a little. The second aunt didn't know if she went to the front director, did she want to find someone to pass by and ask?
Dong Que carefully looked at her expression and asked tentatively, "Miss, are you worried about the Seventh Young Master and the Sixth Miss?" Now that the two of them have disappeared one after another, it is not a trivial matter. ”
Wen Yi was stunned for a moment, and said slowly: "Although the sixth sister has a bigger temper, what she said is not wrong...... Seventh Brother shouldn't have the courage to run out, right? "The seventh cousin lived peacefully in her previous life until she left the village, and she was still suffering from major disasters and small disasters all year round, what could happen? But then she thought that Gu Zhuang in her previous life did not have this catastrophe, and in that year, only her grandmother was seriously ill. and the cold treatment of the clansmen, there is no third aunt, no Liu Dongning, no prince of Dongping, and no Liu Dongxing...... Things are already completely different, will the seventh cousin ...... She suddenly became a little worried.
Regardless of whether Gu Wenan bullied her or not, and he didn't have much friendship with her, he was surnamed Gu anyway......
She was silent, and a figure came from the moon cave door in the west, but it was the mother-in-law she had seen when Wen Yi asked for tea before, and now she was looking back with a dissatisfied face, and she was still scolding in her mouth. Wen Yi's ears were sharp, and when she heard that her words included words such as "Jin Zun Yugui", "Father who is a big official", "I reported an important letter", "No reward", etc., her heart moved, and she hurriedly called her over and asked, "Who are you talking about just now?" But Miss Six?! ”
The woman was startled, and hurriedly smiled: "The little one is the lard that blinds her heart, and she is confused for a while, Miss Nine don't be like the little one, and the little one doesn't dare to say it anymore!" ”
Wen Yi frowned, thought about it, gave Dong Que a look, and then took out a purse containing broken silver from his sleeve and stuffed it for her. Dong Que took it knowingly, stepped forward and said with a smile: "Mom, don't be afraid, our young lady has no intention of punishing you, but I just heard inside that Miss Six is gone, and she is in a hurry like something, and it is all in a mess." Therefore, as soon as our young lady heard your words, she called you here, not for anything else, but to know where Miss Six had gone! ”
The woman only had the purse in her eyes, and when she took it and pinched it, she smiled happily, thinking that this ninth lady was really a generous and good person, and she had offended her without eyes, and now she couldn't make a mistake anymore, so she replied: "The little one just went to the back to ask for water, and saw that the figure of the seventh young master flashed, and it seemed to go to the corner gate in the southwest, so he kept muttering on the way back." Miss Six heard it and came to ask the little one, and the little one told the truth, who knew that Miss Six not only ...... paused, "In short...... just scolded the little one and drove the little one away. The little one was wronged, so he complained twice, in fact, the little one was dizzy, Miss Six has always had a big temper, but it's not like ......" She secretly glanced at Wen Yi and smiled flatteringly, "It's not as ami......able as Miss Fifth and Miss Nine."
Wen Yi was shocked, and hurriedly stepped forward and asked, "You said that the seventh brother went to the corner gate in the southwest?" ”
