Chapter 108: Credulity
Mo Yunxiao almost thought that she had heard it wrong, and asked again, "What?" You said Yunxiang, she ......"
"She's lost!" Danzhu was so anxious that she jumped to her feet, and tears fell down her eyes.
Mo Yunxiao's scalp was numb for a while, and her hands reached through the window to grab Danzhu's arm tightly, and asked, "How did you lose it?" Didn't you follow her all the time? ”
Before Danzhu could answer, she could see that the maids outside the window were in a mess. There were panicked women everywhere, shouting, "The second girl is lost!" The second girl lost her ......"
Mo Yunxiao bit her lip heavily, then turned back to Li Qingzhao and said, "Wan'er, you rest, I have some housework to deal with." ”
"Helu, ...... you" Before Li Qingzhao finished speaking, he saw Mo Yunxiao take a few steps back, lift the horse-faced skirt, and then jump out of the window.
This series of actions was completed in the blink of an eye, and Li Qingzhao was dumbfounded.
"How so! How did you do it! Mo Yunxiao counted the Danzhu beside him as she walked.
Danzhu was aggrieved, so she had to answer: "My girl cried sadly, and the second grandmother let the little one comfort." The little mouth is stupid, and he can't always say what the girl's heart is. The girl was anxious, so she opened the small one, saying that she wanted to be alone for a while. When the little one looked at it again, the figure was gone. ”
"Is she going back to the house?" Mo Yunxiao asked.
Danzhu shook her head and said, "Not really." ”
While talking, they came to Zhilanju. At this time, Zhilan was crowded in the center, and Zhang Yuner only sat on the rattan chair in the middle hall and cried.
"What to do?" She cried and wiped her red and swollen eyes with a handkerchief.
Li Xian'e stood aside and watched, with the same sigh repeatedly. There were also some maids who also stood, bowing their heads and not daring to speak.
Mo Yunxiao strode in with Danzhu, Li Xian'e raised her head and looked at it, as if she had bumped into a savior, she greeted her with a tea bowl in her hand, and said, "Helu, you have to have an idea." ”
Mo Yunxiao took the tea bowl, but she didn't look at Zhang Yun'er, and then said: "Tell everyone outside to settle down, don't shout nonsense." ”
"Whoa." The cuckoo answered and went.
Mo Yunxiao sat on the chair next to Zhang Yun'er, put down the tea bowl in her hand, and said, "Second grandma, don't cry." Finding talent is crucial right now. Yunxiang: How did she get lost? ”
Zhang Yun'er raised her eyes and looked at her, crying even more. "I don't know, I don't know ......"
"Did you go out to play?" Mo Yunxiao guessed.
Danzhu immediately said, "No." My girl is a timid and face-saving girl, when did she go out without wearing a felt hat? For fear that the thin son of the boy would see it. Moreover, I have always been accompanied by a small person, and I have never gone out. ”
Mo Yunxiao frowned, and said to Danzhu again: "You go to Granny Cao's meatloaf shop on Majie to have a look." ”
"Where is my girl?" Danzhu asked in surprise.
Mo Yunxiao shook her head and said, "It's Huan'er and Xiao Wang's girl there." The line from Majie to Zhouqiao Yudao is the most prosperous place in the night market, and they may have seen Yunxiang. ”
"Good! Go for the little ones! After Danzhu finished speaking, he trotted away.
After Danzhu went out, Li Xian'e came over and said to Mo Yunxiao, "Otherwise, let's report to the official." ”
"No!" Zhang Yun'er suddenly raised her head and said: "If people know that Xiang'er is lost, I'm afraid it will lead people to gossip, and ...... in the future It will be difficult to say that you are close in the future. ”
"Oops, it's burning eyebrows." Li Xian'e came around and said to Zhang Yun'er: "It's important to find someone first." ”
Zhang Yun'er just shook her head vigorously and said, "No, a woman's chastity is greater than the sky, but it must not be ...... Don't ......"
"What to report to the official. You don't have to report to the authorities. Mo Yunxiao said: "I am the official." ”
Both of them were stunned, and then Li Xian'e said: "By the way, Helu is a solicitor inside and outside the city who is personally sealed by the official royal pen, and it is somewhat convenient in Beijing." ”
"Oops!" Zhang Yun'er was a little nervous, and hurriedly said: "Helu, you have to take care of Xiang'er's reputation." ”
Mo Yunxiao's eyebrows furrowed, and she didn't know how to answer for a while.
It is convenient for her to use her power to find people, but if she wants to take care of her reputation, she must hide Yunxiang's name and appearance, but I am afraid that it will not have any effect.
Of course, she also understands Zhang Yuner very well. In this era of the prosperity of science, if a woman loses her reputation, it is really worse than death. So she didn't mean to refute Zhang Yun'er.
Zhang Yun'er looked at her with blank eyes, her eyes rolled a few times, and said, "I'll go out and have a look, I will take care of the Mo family's face." ”
As soon as she got together, Li Qingzhao walked towards her. The two looked at each other and smiled.
Li Qingzhao greeted him and said, "Helu, I can also help you." ”
"This ......" Mo Yunxiao was a little embarrassed, but when she was hesitating, Zhang Yun'er greeted her first and said: "Oh, the lady of the Li family, I will accept your affection." Your family is an official, and you will definitely be able to help me find Xiang'er. ”
"Second grandma, what are you talking about!" Mo Yunxiao complained.
Li Qingzhao didn't care, smiled faintly, and said, "The slave will take care of himself." ”
"Wan'er, you ......" Mo Yunxiao still had some concerns, Li Qingzhao was still deeply hurt by love, and Yunxiang was the one who added fuel to the fire, so it was really difficult for Li Qingzhao to help her.
But Li Qingzhao smiled generously and said: "The loss of the population is a big deal. I knew that your house didn't want to disturb the government, so I went back to discuss it with my family, and I used my daughter's loss as an excuse. ”
Mo Yunxiao smiled with relief and said, "In this case, I will not shirk it, after I find Yunxiang, I will definitely bring her to the door to apologize." ”
Li Qingzhao nodded, turned his head and left. Li Xian'e hurriedly instructed the maids beside her: "Hurry up and send off the lady of the Li family." And Mo Yunxiao watched her until her back disappeared behind the dark night.
Zhang Yun'er also stepped up, grabbed Mo Yunxiao's arm tightly, and cried, "Let's send someone to find it too." ”
Mo Yunxiao shook her head and said, "Most of our family are timid women, and it would be swaggering if they went out to find someone." ”
"Then ......" Zhang Yun'er also seemed to feel reasonable, and asked anxiously: "What should I do then?" ”
"I'll take a walk." After Mo Yunxiao finished speaking, he stepped out of the door.
Zhang Yun'er was anxious and wanted to go out with her, but Li Xian'e stopped her and said, "Why do you want to follow a woman, let it be handed over to Helu." ”
"But can she do it alone?" Zhang Yuner seemed very uneasy.
Li Xian'e smiled and said, "You forgot, our Helu has an envoy in his body." There's always a way for her. ”
Mo Yunxiao walked quickly to the back door of the house, where the cuckoo was already waiting with a felt hat and cloak.
"Girl, the little ones will come with you." The cuckoo said as he tied her cloak.
"No, you don't." Mo Yunxiao said: "You are so good at home, optimistic about the portal." Oh yes, you also have to take care of the second grandmother, don't ask her to do anything drastic. ”
She took the felt hat in Cuckoo's hand and put it on gently, and Cuckoo also tied a strap for her, but her eyes were red.
Mo Yunxiao's heart was as careful as hair, and when she noticed her abnormality, she asked, "What's wrong?" This little thing scares you? ”
The cuckoo hurriedly wiped away his tears and said: "The little one is just hanging on his heart, since the girl fell into the water and faked her death, our family has been in trouble, and finally after two days of peaceful birthday, the second girl is ...... Alas, I really don't know how I'll live in the future. ”
Mo Yunxiao gently touched her forehead, and said with a smile: "Don't worry, as long as I am here, this family will not be dispersed." ”
……
Yun Xiang cried as he walked along the street. The street is full of pedestrians and bright lights. I don't know how many children are running and chasing with lanterns, and occasionally you can see some Hu merchants leading camels slowly passing by.
It's more about the people of Tokyo. Tokyo's Bianliang City is famous for its night markets, comparable to Chengdu and Taipei, with lanterns and candles illuminating the entire long street as if it were daytime, no worse than the neon lights.
Every shop Yun Xiang walked through was full of guests, some selling soup cakes, some selling drinks, and some setting up stalls to ask for hexagrams and seek medical treatment. But Yun Xiang didn't care at all, just wandered while wiping his tears.
"Mo Yunxiao, I really can't wait to ...... I can't wait to push you into the Bianhe River to feed the fish! She cried as she walked.
Such a beautiful woman, such a young woman in satin clothes, but walking alone on the street is inevitably eye-catching.
However, Tokyo is rich in the world, and the laws are strict at the feet of the Son of Heaven, so there are always fewer people who have crooked thoughts. Everyone just looked at it and then talked to each other.
"Lady, how did you come here alone?" A brocade-clothed boy staggered over with a wine jug in one hand, he blocked Yunxiang's way, and said drunk and hazy: "Why don't you enjoy the light and drink a glass of water and wine with this son?" ”
Yun Xiang glanced at him, only to see this person's oily face and a bad smile on his face, and he was already disgusted in his heart. But whether she was to the left or right, this person always stood in front of her with open arms, giggling.
Yun Xiang was also in a hurry, so he said, "This gentleman, the slave escaped from a big family's house. People wanted to take slaves as concubines, but the slaves refused to run away at night. If Mr. can save him, the slave will repay Mr. with his own body. ”
When this man heard this, his heart was overjoyed, and he asked, "Who dares to force you, and you say that this son will go to him to theorize!" ”
"It's not a secret, it's Zeng Buzeng's privy councillor."
The man was startled when he heard this, and his face showed embarrassment. Zeng Bunai was the privy envoy of the dynasty, a dignified ruler, and his status was even more prominent after the fall of Zhang Dun, how could he offend such a person?
Yun Xiang saw what he meant, so he said: "The slave knows that this matter is difficult, and he doesn't dare to drag Mr. down, otherwise the privy envoy will blame him in the future, and the slave will not be able to atone for his sins even though he is dead." ”
The man was bored, so he had to let her go.
Yun Xiang was happy in his heart, but the man seemed to understand after he had not been gone for long, and hurriedly shouted: "Lady! You're not coaxing me! ”
Yun Xiang turned around and flew up and kicked the man's crotch hard. "Oops!" He screamed and hurriedly covered his crotch, in pain, and several swingers around him also laughed, and Yun Xiang had already run away after kicking.
taught a lesson to a child of anointed sorghum, and the anger in Yun Xiang's heart also disappeared nine times out of ten. At this time, she raised her eyes and found that she had arrived at the Anyuan Gate, and the bustle of the street came to an abrupt end at the city gate.
A groomer walked past her. The husband held a gong in one hand and a mallet in the other, and hung an oil lamp with a hood on his arm.
"It's just right, it's dark!" This person is five short in stature, but his voice is extremely loud, and Yun Xiang only feels a stinging pain in his eardrums beside him.
"It's time, my mother and they are also anxious, right?" Yun Xiang thought in his heart: "But it's too embarrassing to go back now, how can I raise my head in front of Mo Yunxiao in the future?" ”
Just when she was in a dilemma, she suddenly felt something hit by her leg, and when she looked down, she found that it was a felt ball.
The art of Keju in China has a long history, and by the time of the Song Dynasty, it had become a folk sport. There are many kinds of folk associations, just like the football clubs of later generations, there are competitions and exchanges between the clubs, and a large Keju match is often crowded, and the major gambling houses will also compete to place bets.
Therefore, I don't care if a felt ball rolls to Yunxiang's feet, and it is not uncommon for women in the Song Dynasty to bow.
It's just that Yun Xiang is shy and shy, and she doesn't like to show her head more than her female brother. She was about to kick back, but just as she saw a burly bearded man running all the way from the darkness with a few retinues, Yun Xiang was reserved, hurriedly avoided to the side, and gently covered half of his face with his sleeve.
"Abrupt little lady, let's play ball here, the strength is bigger, and the lady will forgive me." The bearded man looked big and thick, but he was very polite when he spoke.
Yun Xiang glanced at him sideways, and said softly: "Sir, don't be polite, it's getting late, and the slave wants to go home." ”
She was about to leave, but the man shouted, "Why is the lady alone here?" Shall I send a little maid to escort the lady home? ”
"Not necessarily." Yun Xiang hurriedly said: "Mr. just play football, the slave is self-reliant, and he doesn't dare to bother." ”
"Oh?" The man suddenly asked, "The lady is the second girl of the Mo family?" ”
Yun Xiang was stunned for a moment, turned to look at him, and asked, "How do you know?" ”
The man laughed and said, "Don't hide it, I also have some relationship with the eldest girl of the Mo family." We are friends who have bowed together, hehe, and we don't know each other. Oh, I have to say that the female brother's ball skills are dominant, and we and other bearded men are defeated by Emei. I was greatly impressed. It's just that I don't know why the lady went out alone? ”
Yun Xiang thought about it carefully, and seemed to feel that if he talked about his troubles, maybe this man could help him solve the dilemma in front of him, so he sighed and said, "Not for anything else, it's just a little trivial matter and the female brother quarreled, so I got angry." But it's easy to get out, but it's hard to go back. ”
The man laughed and said, "Ignore it." The lady is afraid that she will lose face if she goes back like this. ”
Yun Xiang smiled shyly, which was regarded as a tacit acquiescence.
The man thought for a moment and said, "In that case, we may escort the girl home." When I saw Brother Ling, we said that you don't want to go home, lady, and we relied on brute force to bring you back. In this way, the lady's face is saved, and we are also a favor, how about it? ”
