Honghu County.

In the past two days, it has rained drippingly, the rain is not heavy, the embankment has been reinforced, and the people are also relieved, and there are people in the streets and alleys who are gossiping about parents with umbrellas.

As in previous years, the Lu family set up two or three porridge sheds in the city, and also arranged a small guy in the hospital to help run errands and grab medicine, and even with the old man himself, he often gave porridge in the porridge shed in person, and it was not unreasonable that the prestige of the Lu family in Jiangnan was so high.

It's just that the old man of the past two days has been more or less absent-minded.

He used the excuse that he was idle and idle, and it was better to help everywhere, he turned around the city several times, but he still didn't see the slightest shadow of Shi Huan. Don't say that Shi Huan, there is not even a strange face on this juncture.

The ordinary-looking girl with "two eyes, a mouth, and a nose" and two guards who didn't look very smart never returned to the inn.

Master Lu is more and more sure that this girl is Shi Huan, if it weren't for that, why didn't he show up after playing the Lu family's signboard? This girl's behavior didn't look like she was coming to the Lu family, but more like a casual excuse to make her appearance more reasonable.

What does this mean? Illustrate...... In that girl's heart, the Lu family was the safest for her.

So, who else could it be but that girl?

In the porridge shed, Old Man Lu took the dirty and unwashed bowl handed over from the other side, steadily scooped a large spoonful of porridge into it, and handed it back, "Give!" Take it! ”

casually, and a little absent-minded.

The other party thanked him and left, muttering as he walked, "Old Master Lu!" The old master of Lu personally gave me Sheng porridge! He was still so enthusiastic and polite to talk to me, and he didn't say anything at all! ”

There was a disgust on the side, "Did you just come to us?" Why do you look like you don't know how to do it? ”

"It's just that...... The old family owner is the most friendly and kind, and he will come every year, how many of us have drunk the porridge he holds by himself! ”

"Yes......" The man at first smiled and touched his head, "I only came a year ago, I only came a year ago......"

"Hey! Nothing, I'll get used to it next year. "The flood has receded, and now there is hot porridge to warm the stomach, and the people whose houses were swept away by the flood are not so depressed for a while, and they are all talking and laughing in twos and threes.

The butler crossed these crowds, and the people along the way greeted him, and he returned the salute one by one, and when he came to the old man, he leaned close to his ear and whispered, "Master, our people have found some information. ”

Old Man Lu handed the porridge spoon in his hand directly to the people behind him, wiped it on the cloth towel on the side, ignored the child with a lost face holding the empty porridge bowl, exited the porridge shed, and asked, "What's the situation?" Found the eldest lady? ”

The housekeeper didn't nod or shake his head, but said, "Our people found a foreign man at the Yunlai Inn, so they paid attention. Before dawn this morning, I saw him go out, we didn't dare to follow too close, but the direction we saw him go should be the county government. ”

"Prefectural Command?" Old Man Lu's brows were twisted together, "Recently, Wang Xianling didn't live in his own house, right?" ”

"Yes. The old slave just thinks this is strange, Wang Xianling has never been married, and now he lives in the county yali, and there is no master in half of the county order. While analyzing, the old housekeeper looked at the old man's face, and felt that the old man's patience was almost exhausted, so he hurriedly said, "So the old slave asked our cook to talk to the cook of the county government...... No, I heard that the county government recently moved in with a girl! ”

Old Man Lu's expression suddenly became intriguing...... He licked his lower lip and asked quietly, "What kind of girl?" ”

The old butler smiled, "Master, this girl...... It sounds very capable, um, noisy, and the old slave is not sure if it is the eldest lady, if so, the eldest lady must have some purpose......"

He racked his brains and used a more indistinguishable word - noisy.

Naturally, it was impossible for the cook to guess that the other party's house was the young lady she had been talking about for many years, so what the other party said was ugly, she honestly relayed it to the housekeeper, and the housekeeper listened to the whole person badly, and she would never dare to tell the old man the truth, otherwise, today's Lu family and the county government must either die or I die......

After many years of getting along day and night, there is naturally a tacit understanding that others do not have.

The old butler said such a word carefully, but the old man heard the sound outside the strings and snorted, "It's not a small movement, right?" ”

The old butler wiped the non-existent sweat on his forehead, and said, "Xing, Xing, maybe yes......"

"Huh." The old man had a tiger face, "What a girl's house, I don't know where I learned to be a monkey and start to go north and south...... Those individuals in the Shi family spoiled her one by one, look at what they have become, I don't know how thick the sky is! ”

The old housekeeper wiped his forehead again, and didn't dare to answer - needless to say, the Shi family, let's just talk about the old man himself, it's not that he is spoiled in every way, but he doesn't admit it.

The old man walked to the carriage with the corner of his robe, and hummed as he walked, "That county mansion is where she can go alone?" Yes? ”

After taking two steps, he seemed to remember that there was an old guy who could talk beside him, and his face became even more tiger at the moment, "What? Think it's wrong for me to scold the old man?! ”

The old butler took two steps to follow, "No...... The eldest lady is too bold this time, she should be scolded! ”

Think...... Aren't you just worried about muttering a few words, but it's not a ...... Scolding, right? Old man, when you scolded the head of the family, you weren't so pleasant! Scolding a whip, whipping and scolding, after the beating, he crossed his waist and panted before he stopped, and the head of the house, who was still young at that time, lay in bed for more than a month, for which the old lady let you sleep in the study for half a year...... Have you forgotten?

There was a tacit understanding, but the old man still didn't know anything about the slander in the old man's heart, he just strode towards the carriage, and as he walked, he ordered, "Look at the sky, this rain still has to fall, I don't worry about the old man...... Let's go, go and ask our county magistrate if there is any way to deal with it. ”

The butler held back a smile and asked, "What's that......?" Go to the county office? ”

When the words fell, the old man stepped onto the carriage with one foot, and his eyes swept over, very fierce, "What? The old man doesn't deserve to go to the prefectural mansion for a cup of tea?! ”

Gotta lose your temper...... The housekeeper smiled and waited for the old man to get into the car, "Match, match, it is the honor of Wang County Commander to go to the county magistrate's mansion...... It's just that the old slave is thinking, the county magistrate is not in the house......"

The old man's voice was like a bell, "Then wait!" ”
