Chapter 11 Lovesickness
On the second day, Zuixianglou found that Jinling Oiran had disappeared mysteriously, and immediately reported the case, according to the government's investigation, the case seemed to be related to the son-in-law of the servant.
But at the time of the case, Zhao Ji, the son of the servant of the ministry, was hundreds of miles away in Luzhou Academy, and this bizarre unsolved case finally came to an end, and became the talk of the local people after dinner.
Zhang Xiu and Yan Feng, who were participants, had already retired at this moment, and led the cow to the dean's Huainan hometown.
The Huainan Wang family is also a famous family in the south of the Yangtze River, a family of seven jinshi, father and son three tanhua, compared to the Zhao family where Zhao Ji is located.
The old six kings of the family are the elders of the three dynasties, ranked as the third duke, and the official worships the position of the Taifu, and returned to his hometown twenty years ago, and went to Luzhou Academy to be the dean, that is, the old man in Zhang Xiu's mouth.
When they came to Wang Zude's house, after the two reported to their homes, the old housekeeper went inside.
After a while, a middle-aged man in his fifties wearing a foreign suit greeted him and said, "Presumably the two are Zhang Gongzi and Yan Gongzi in my uncle's letter. ”
Zhang Xiu smiled and replied, and said very politely: "Brother doesn't have to see outside, I am the dean's personal disciple, and when I get here, it's like my own home, let the cook get some abalone ginseng wings, bear's paw bird's nest or something, just have a home-cooked meal together!" ”
As he spoke, he hugged the king, enthusiastically let him into the door, and instructed the housekeeper to show tea to everyone.
After Wang Yuanwai was arranged to sit down, he was still confused: "@#¥%¥#@......"
Who am I, where am I, what's the deal with this feeling of being at home, it feels like my home, right?
Zhang Xiu, who was anti-guest, took a sip of tea and asked with an easy-going face: "Brother, why don't you see my Zu Dexian nephew come out?" ”
Wang Yuanwai came back to his senses and sighed: "Alas, the child is sick and is recuperating in the bedroom, I'm afraid I won't be able to come out to visit." ”
Zhang Xiu sighed and said, "I see, the dean thought that something had happened in the family, and he was uneasy, so he specially assigned the two of us to visit." ”
When Wang Yuanwai heard this, he sighed with some emotion: "Alas, Uncle Lao is worried, as a junior, I am really unfilial." ”
Zhang Xiu then asked: "What kind of disease does Zu Dexian's nephew have, I have studied with Imperial Doctor Liu since I was a child, and I am also a little familiar with medical skills, so I may help with one or two references." ”
Wang Yuanwai showed a trace of embarrassment on his face, hesitated for a long time, sighed helplessly, and said: "Zude's illness is quite embarrassing to say, he is lovesick, he doesn't think about tea and food all day long, and he boils himself alive." ”
The fire of gossip in Yan Feng's eyes was blazing, and he couldn't help but ask, "Could it be that the woman he fancies is a married woman?" ”
Zhang Xiu glanced at him and scolded: "What are you talking nonsense, the Wang family has always been strict in family style, and Zu De grew up under the influence of the dean since he was a child...... Damn, it's really possible! ”
Thinking of the dean's preference, Zhang Xiu gasped, stared at his eyes and choked up.
Wang Yuanwai: "......"
In your eyes, the rigorous family style of my Wang family's ancestors is a good wife???
Wang Yuanwai's cheeks twitched for a while, and he explained: "The woman Zu De has a crush on is twenty-eight years old and has not left the cabinet. ”
Yan Feng was puzzled: "In this case, isn't it okay for you to come to the door to propose marriage, with the reputation of the Wang family in Jiangnan, there shouldn't be anyone who refuses, right?" ”
Wang Yuanwai sighed silently: "I thought the same way at first, but the Naxin family ......"
As he spoke, he shook his head and continued: "The woman Zude likes is the fourth daughter of the Xin family next door, and the small character is called Siniang.
The Xin family is a new move to Huainan this year, although the old lady Xin has no fame, but he is full of poetry and books, is a learned person, I often correspond with him, the two talk very happily. ”
"But it's about this child, no matter how much I say it, even the matchmaker has changed three times, but he just refuses to agree. I asked the reason, but Mrs. Xin was always vague, and after a long time, Zude became lovesick......"
"It's a bit tricky......"
Zhang Xiu lowered his head and thought for a while, and suddenly slapped the table, and stood up with his eyes shining.
Seeing him like this, Wang Yuanwai was pleasantly surprised: "Brother Zhang Xian, have you thought of a way?" ”
Zhang Xiu was stunned for a moment, and said with a puzzled face: "What can I do, I want to go to the kitchen and let them add another steamed mandarin fish." ”
Wang Yuanwai: "......"
You're just here to eat and drink!
Half an hour later, Zhang Xiu, who was full of wine and food, burped and collapsed in his chair.
Wang Yuanwai glanced at the plates that were all emptied on the table, and said with a forced smile: "Brother Xian, is this meal still palatable?" ”
Zhang Xiu nodded with satisfaction and said, "It can be said that I have the best meal in the past few days, brother, don't worry, I won't eat your meal in vain." Zude's affairs are wrapped up in me, and when I digest it, I will personally go to meet that old lady Xin for a while. ”
"With a certain three-inch incorruptible tongue, if you can't get him to agree to this family business, I will bring his head to see him!"
Wang Yuanwai's eyelids jumped wildly and said, "Brother Xian, why don't you go and rest early......"
Zhang Xiu's face darkened, and she said unhappily: "You don't believe me, even if I can't beat the old lady Xin, isn't there Brother Yan, Brother Yan doesn't eat dry rice!" ”
Yan Feng picked up the rice bowl in his hand and complained: "You have eaten all the dishes, I don't eat dry rice and eat anything." ”
Wang Yuanwai couldn't cry and laugh for a while: "This is not the point, the point is that we are going to propose, not to mention......"
Zhang Xiu smiled slightly, and said with a straight face: "Put aside the matter of proposing marriage for the time being, take me to meet Zude first, you have to ask him and Naxin Siniang first, don't fall into the flowers and be ruthless, that is a waste of effort." ”
Wang Yuanwai nodded when he heard this, sighed slightly, got up and led them to the backyard.
Candles were lit in the attic of the backyard, and two figures, a man and a woman, stood in front of the window, hugging each other, their lips touching, and all three of them were stunned.
Wang Yuanwai blushed and said anxiously: "This ...... What a system this becomes! How could Zude do such a degrading thing, what kind of system is this! ”
So saying, he went in and separated the two.
Zhang Xiuyi grabbed him and said, "You went in like this and broke their good deeds, how will this woman behave in the future?" ”
Wang Yuanwai was stunned, feeling that he was indeed a bit reckless to break in like this, and asked eagerly: "Then what do you say?" ”
Zhang Xiu looked at the two people who were kissing fiercely upstairs, and said calmly: "Don't worry, let's watch it for an hour first!" ”
Wang Yuanwai: "@#¥%¥#@......"
After an hour, the raw rice is cooked!
When Wang Yuanwai's heart was full of chaos, Yan Feng suddenly felt a slight vibration from the wooden box behind him, his eyes lit up, and his expression became serious.
"I'm afraid we won't be able to watch the show, it's ...... in the house There is a demonic spirit! ”
