"Found it, Master, we found the note set up by Cao Chunwang at Yuan Bengang's house."

Ji Xia took the note, "It seems that we should go to meet this Cao Chunwang." ”

Cao Chunwang's home is not easy to find, and even Yuan Bengang has only been to Cao Chunwang's shop, and I don't know where his home is.

After Gao Han inquired in many ways, he learned Cao Chunwang's address.

"Is anyone home?" Xue Dabao looked at the broken wooden door in front of him and fell into confusion, "Didn't you say that Cao Chunwang's rouge gouache business is doing very well, why do you still live in such a broken place." ”

I heard that Cao Chunwang made a lot of money from the rouge gouache business and was fully capable of buying a house in the bustling streets and alleys, but he did not do so, and still lived in the remote and desolate Caojia Village.

Ji Xia pursed his lips and shrugged his shoulders, noncommittal.

It wasn't long before the door opened, revealing a woman in a navy blue coarse cloth dress standing in the doorway.

"A few adults came to visit, and they were not welcomed." She rubbed her clothes with both hands and looked at the three people outside the door nervously, "But there is news from my family?" ”

The three of them looked puzzled and looked at the woman in front of them.

The woman did not apply powder, her face was a little sallow from long-term malnutrition, her hair was meticulously combed, only a wooden hairpin was stuck diagonally in the bun, and her hands were crumpled, and the calluses on them were clearly visible.

But Ji Xia still thinks that she is extremely beautiful, a traditional aesthetic beauty in China for thousands of years, the facial features on her face are rounded without a trace of sharpness, and the whole person exudes a soft temperament.

Looking closely, I feel more and more that this person has a good face.

"I remember, you came to the Yamen last time to find Xianggong!" Xue Dabao was the first to shout.

Wang Genhua nodded and led the three of them into the inner room.

"The family is simple, please don't dislike the three adults," Wang Genhua's cheeks were slightly red, and she said with some embarrassment.

The three of them looked at the room, there was almost no furnishings, and the tables and chairs were old. Looking closely at the teacup in his hand, there is a layer of yellowish water stains at the bottom of the cup, and there are several small notches around the mouth of the cup.

Ji Xia couldn't help frowning, his expression moving slightly. She couldn't connect the situation in front of her with the operation of Cao Chunwang's shop.

Xue Dabao jumped to his feet and said, "Don't you know how much money your husband makes?" ”

"Dabao!" Gao Han tugged at Xue Dabao's sleeve and motioned him to shut up.

"My father-in-law's business has always been loss-making......"

"Then you should know where his shop is, right?" Xue Dabao asked tentatively with a frown. If you knew that Cao Chunwang's shop was located in the most prosperous street market in Taoyuan County, you should be able to guess the business situation.

"I haven't been to ......," Wang Genhua lowered her head in shame.

"It's not that I don't care about my father-in-law, it's that he hasn't let me go, and he said that if I go to see him, it will distract him." Wang Genhua waved her hand anxiously and added.

Ji Xia sighed, not knowing what to say. It seems that this Wang Genhua not only knows nothing about her husband's financial situation, but also trusts and obeys him unconditionally. This woman is either stupid or stupid.

"But I know where he lives in the capital." Wang Genhua suddenly spoke, "Because I was worried that he would encounter an accident when he went to the capital to do things alone, I insisted on letting him leave his address." ”

"But you still haven't been to this place, have you?" Ji Xia asked,

Wang Genhua nodded, "If he doesn't come back, I'm going to go to him." With that, she handed the note with the address written on it to Gao Han.

Gao Han took a look and knew that the house where Cao Chunwang settled in the capital was expensive. This Cao Chunwang obviously made so much money and never improved his family's living conditions, but he bought a mansion in the capital, and it seems that the golden house has not run away.

Wang Genhua saw that the three of them didn't speak, so she hesitated and asked, "Three adults, what happened to my father-in-law?" There was uneasiness and sadness in her eyes.

"It's nothing, it's just that there are things I want to ask him face-to-face." Ji Xia comforted. She couldn't bear to puncture the fact that this man didn't care about her, and now she couldn't tell where she was having a good time.

"Okay, then please let the three adults go home quickly after finding my father-in-law," she said in a trembling voice, a little embarrassed, "In fact, the house is almost out of the pot." ”

Ji Xia frowned, feeling very uncomfortable, and even agreed to her request, "Okay, we will definitely bring him back." ”

The three of them gave Wang Genhua all the silver they had with them, and told her to go to the yamen to find them if she needed any help.
