At night, the city of Tokyo is like a pot of boiling water, and under the bustle and bustle is the spaciousness and leisure of the people of the capital.

The fan floor sings and dances, and the hustle and bustle of the diners and the singing voices of the singers echo each other. Everyone laughed and talked broadly, anesthetizing their nerves in the smell of wine, and burying their minds in the silk bamboo.

Fifth sister-in-law Song held her hand and looked down at the corridor, it was not strange that she would see such a scene every day, but today she still frowned rarely.

She had a not relaxed expression on her face, and Song Mingxuan behind her walked step by step, also looking at the lobby on the first floor, and said earnestly: "Sister, Helu is in trouble." ”

"It's the Mo family that's in trouble." Fifth sister-in-law Song sighed and said, "Since the Mo family eldest went there, it hasn't stopped for a day. ”

Before Song Mingxuan could speak, a rush of footsteps came. The sister and brother looked back at the same time, and Cao's mother ran over with a panicked face.

Fifth sister-in-law Song hurriedly greeted her and asked, "What's the matter, is there any news?" ”

Cao's mother said in a panic: "Our people have already turned around the inner city, and they have asked everything that should be asked and what should not be asked, but to no avail." I'm just afraid ......"

"Afraid of what?" Song Mingxuan asked.

Mother Cao was just about to speak, but Fifth Sister-in-law Song stood up and stopped her words: "No need to say it." People are not in the inner city. ”

Cao's mother nodded, and said to Song Mingxuan again; "Brother Xuan, it's only an hour before someone loses it, and I don't think I'll have to worry about my life. I'm just afraid that if the time drags on for a long time, it will be a matter of whether the line will be broken. ”

"I'll find it myself." Fifth sister-in-law Song was about to leave when she said that, but Cao's mother hurriedly stopped her and said: "The shopkeeper is a little safe, it's not that the old woman talks too much, it's better to report this kind of thing to the official as soon as possible." Miss Mo is favored by the official family, so naturally she will not sit idly by...... It is safer for an official to take action than for us ordinary people. ”

Fifth sister-in-law Song shook her head and said, "The Mo family plus our family, it is said that Li Gefei's family and Zhao Tingzhi's family have also sent people out......"

She turned her head and glanced at Song Mingxuan again: "In my opinion, Wei Yuru is indispensable." So many of us went out to find people together, how can it be better than Kaifeng Mansion. Mother Cao, this is a matter of human life, don't say more, you stay and take care of the store. Jiaxing, do you want to go with me? ”

Song Mingxuan nodded and said, "My sister is going, so I will naturally follow." ”

"Okay, let's go back and change our outfits, and go to Minglou to find Helu first." After Song Wu's sister-in-law finished speaking, she took Song Mingxuan and left.

Cao's mother wanted to stop again, but there was no good reason, so she could only watch the sister and brother hurry away.

……

Zeng Bu still fell asleep on the bed, and he had a bitter drink with Li Qingchen of Lantai in the evening. Zeng Shumi was already too strong to drink, and when he got home, he couldn't support it and fell asleep.

And Madame Wei had already put on her clothes, and while pulling her hair, she hurried towards the central hall. The two people dressed as peasant households were originally sitting, but when they saw Mrs. Wei coming out, they hurriedly got up and saluted.

The two looked up and saw that Mrs. Wei came out wearing only a very transparent single shirt, and their faces immediately turned red and they didn't dare to look at it again.

Mrs. Wei said while holding her hair: "This dark day called you over to make people unhappy. If it weren't for the urgency, I wouldn't have disturbed the two of you. ”

One of them smiled and said, "Madame don't have to be polite. The little ones have been favored by Zeng Xiang and Mrs. Zeng all the year round, and last year was the blessing of your two elders, and they had a fat year. Brother ...... today."

"Today is a real dilemma." Mrs. Wei sat down, and without waiting for him to finish his ramblings, she said: "There is a woman missing in the city of Tokyo, and I am afraid that some bad people have taken this woman out of the city, and I want to work with the two farmers and tenants to help find her." ”

The two glanced at each other, and the other asked, "Could it be that the Ghost Fan Tower has opened again?" ”

Mrs. Wei shook her head and said, "It has nothing to do with Ghost Fan Tower. That's why it's hard for us to be caught off guard. This prosperous city of Tokyo, with millions of people, to find a missing woman here is tantamount to taking salt from the sea, and the only way to do this is to ask the two of you for help. ”

The two of them bowed again and said, "It is an honor for my brother to serve his wife, but I don't know ...... this woman."

"The second girl of the Mo family, Mo Yunxiang." Mrs. Wei paused, and then added: "Looking for a return, remember not to swagger, otherwise Miss Yunxiang's innocence will not be guaranteed." ”

The two nodded again and again, and said, "That's ......."

Mrs. Wei nodded with satisfaction, stood up and said, "You two might as well eat a cup of tea and go back, I'm going out too." ”

After she had finished speaking, she quickly left the atrium, and when she returned to the bedroom, the maid had already prepared the clothes for the trip.

When the two maids waited for her to change her clothes, she asked, "Madam, you have to follow the younger one when you go to the tea house." ”

"No, just get me a horse." Mrs. Wei said.

When she came out again, the two lieutenants were gone. She didn't care, but strode out of the gate, where there was a healthy horse.

This horse is not an ordinary pony, but a new breed of horse and Yunnan horse, tall and galloping.

Mrs. Wei looked at the horse, but thought in her heart: "The imperial court is short of horses, and such good horses should have been supplied to the front line of the Western Army." ”

But this thought was only a flash, and then she stepped on the stirrup and turned over, "Drive!" With a clamp between her legs, the whip flicked, and the horse hurried away with her.

At this time, it was already the second watch, except for the street where the lights were still bright, the other streets were basically empty, and there were no pedestrians.

So Mrs. Wei can gallop all the way without any scruples. "Drive! Drive! Drive! She hurried up, thinking of the scene of Mo Yunxiao galloping in the downtown area, and couldn't help but feel a lot of emotion.

Because the horse is good, it is only a moment to arrive in front of the gate of the tea building. At this time, it was Mo Yunze who was guarding the door, pacing back and forth anxiously.

"Shiyu!" Mrs. Wei shouted, then turned over and dismounted.

Mo Yunze was taken aback, hurriedly came up to help her lead the horse, and said with a panicked face: "Mrs. Wei! Why did my sister's business work you? ”

"What words? Your eldest brother's business is my business. Mrs. Wei glanced at her and asked, "How is the situation?" Got eyebrows? ”

Mo Yunze shook his head and said very anxiously, "Not yet." ”

Mrs. Wei patted him on the shoulder and encouraged: "Don't worry, your sister-in-law is not like your eldest brother, she never causes trouble, maybe she is lost." There are so many of us, can't we find a place with a big palm in Tokyo? ”

Mo Yunze smiled awkwardly and said, "Thank you, Madame, for your explanation." ”

As he spoke, he led the horse for Madame Wei and tied the reins to the pillar at the door. Mrs. Wei pushed the door in, there were no diners in the lobby of the tea building, but the lights were bright, and several maids who were guarding here were all from the Ghost Fan Building, and they had also had a relationship with Mrs. Wei, so they saluted one after another.

Mrs. Wei didn't say much, and went straight through the lobby to the inner court.

In the inner courtyard, only the house of Zhilanju was lit up, and the sound of crying was heard from time to time. Mrs. Wei frowned and walked quickly.

"Zeng Bu's wife, Wei Yuru, took the liberty to visit." She said this at the door.

The one who opened the door was the green jade whose eyes were already swollen from crying. As soon as she saw Mrs. Wei, she couldn't stop crying again, and she forgot to salute.

Mrs. Wei didn't care, when she came in the door, she saw that the room was full of people, but everyone frowned, Zhang Yun'er sat on the rattan chair in the middle and just covered her mouth with a handkerchief, and kept crying, next to her was Li Xian'e, perhaps infected by her emotions, and wept while comforting.

Yunxi and Danzhu stayed on Li Xian'e's side, not crying, but they also drooped their heads and did not speak.

Miss Xiao Wang sat on a chair far away, swaying her legs, holding a bowl of sweet tea in her hand and eating carefully, and she didn't dare to take a breath.

The rest were all maids who served tea and poured water, and most of them were also women who were rescued from the Ghost Fan Tower.

When all the women saw Mrs. Wei coming, they all stood up and saluted. Mrs. Wei hurriedly helped Zhang Yun'er sit down and said, "Second grandma doesn't need to be polite, it's important to find someone now." ”

She turned her gaze to Li Xian'e again and asked, "Third grandmother, where is Helu?" ”

"The eldest brother has gone out to find help." Yunxi replied: "And she doesn't want us to accompany her, saying that there are too many people to go, but it is troublesome." ”

Mrs. Wei's eyes lit up, and she said with a smile: "I know, I hope everything goes well." ”

"Mrs. Wei, although my Helu is good friends with you, my Xiang'er has never been with anyone. ...... are you?" asked Zhang Yun'er with a hard time crying.

Mrs. Wei smiled and said, "I can't bear to see Helu working alone. Besides, the disappearance of people is a big case, and I should help it. Three, Yunxiang, this kid is a little arrogant, but she is still a virtuous woman, I know it, how can I ...... Huh! ”

Before she finished speaking, Zhang Yun'er began to cry again. Her cry was mixed with a little guilt and a little gratitude.

Mrs. Wei and Li Xian'e calmed her down, and hurriedly showed Mrs. Wei a seat, and the cuckoo hurriedly pushed the door in and said, "The lady of the Li family is here." ”

"Which lady of the Li family?" Li Xian'e asked hurriedly.

Before the cuckoo finished speaking, Li Qingzhao pushed the door in with Lili. Everyone was even more surprised when they saw it.

"The two grandmothers don't have to be polite." Li Qingzhao hurriedly walked over wearing a red cloak and a felt hat, followed by the maid Lili.

Mrs. Wei couldn't help but admire at a glance: "Sure enough, it's a Peugeot person, and the charm bones don't let Helu get half a point." ”

Li Qingzhao took off the felt hat and handed it to Lili behind him. She looked back, and the first thing she saw was Mrs. Wei. The two couldn't help but smile at each other.

Li Qingzhao said: "I thought that there was something wrong with the Mo family, and Mrs. Wei must be the first to arrive, as I expected." ”

Mrs. Wei smiled and said, "When it's over here, I will make an appointment with the lady and Helu to go to the lake to enjoy the scenery, drink and write poems." But at this time, it is still necessary to find people. ”

Li Qingzhao nodded, sat on the chair that Du Juan had moved for himself, and said, "What Mrs. Wei said is extremely true. The family I brought with me has gone along the Bianhe River, and if I get anything, I will return immediately. However, at CityU, there is not enough manpower after all. I'm here to discuss with Helu and see how I can get twice the result with half the effort. Huh? Why don't you see Helu? ”

Li Xian'e said: "The lotus is exposed, and it doesn't hurt if you don't see her for a while." ”

"I'm late!" Fifth sister-in-law Song pushed the door in, looking panicked. She hurriedly gathered the headscarf on her head, smiled shyly, and said, "Yo! Unexpectedly, Mrs. Wei and the lady of the Li family were also there. ”

After they had seen the salute, they sat down. Song Wu's sister-in-law said first: "My people have searched all over the inner city, but none of them have been found. ”

"Where's Brother Xuan?" Li Xian'e asked.

Fifth sister-in-law Song paused and said, "Talk to Shi Yu outside." ”

Mrs. Wei pondered for a while, and then said to Li Xian'e: "Third grandmother, the second grandmother is too tired today, so let's send someone to wait and find another place to sleep." We're here to stay. ”

Zhang Yun'er cried and said: "Xiang'er is missing, how can I sleep." ”

Mrs. Wei said gently: "It's not good for you to be here, as the saying goes, if you care, you will be chaotic, and it will not help if you barely support it." ”

"Yes, yes, Mrs. Wei is right." Li Xian'e hurriedly instructed Luyu: "Hurry up and take the second grandmother to my place." ”

Green Jade answered, and then hugged Zhang Yun'er and left. Zhang Yun'er sighed, and had to salute the women who came to help in turn, saying, "Please, please, please......" Everyone also got up and saluted back, saying: "It's okay, it's okay......

After sending Zhang Yuner away, everyone sat down again. Mrs. Wei said with a solemn face: "I'm afraid this matter is a little troublesome." ”

"Huh?" Li Xian'e was slightly taken aback and stared at her.

Li Qingzhao was not very surprised, just nodded and said, "I have guessed that Mrs. Wei's meaning of sending the second grandmother out is here." ”

"The second girl ran away in a negative mood, and according to her temper, she will not return home at this time." Mrs. Wei said, "I know that her temper is very different from that of Helu. If you don't see anyone at this time, I'm afraid you'll be stumbling. ”

"Could it be that it is a flower photographer?" Yunxi couldn't help but interject.

Li Qingzhao sneered and said, "Tokyo City is not as good as other places, how can anyone dare to take pictures of flowers in the city?" Unless the second girl goes out of the city. ”

Mrs. Wei shook her head and said, "She will never go out of the city by herself." ”

"Could it be the Cao Gang?" Fifth sister-in-law Song said so.

The three of them looked at each other, and their eyes showed a bit of surprise.

Li Xian'e suddenly stood up and said, "Then let's go outside the city and look for it." ”

"The third grandmother should not panic. I have sent someone. Mrs. Wei threw a bamboo expression at Li Xian'e, and then said, "You have to look for it inside and outside the city." ”

Fifth sister-in-law Song immediately said, "I'll ask someone to look for it in the outer city again." ”

"And Yunxi, you can go too, help your fifth sister-in-law." Li Xian'e pulled Yunxi beside her and said.

Fifth sister-in-law Song smiled and said, "That's not necessary. I still have a family, can't I also use it when it rains? ”

"Yes, and Zhao Defu." Li Qingzhao also said: "It's more convenient to leave this kind of thing to the men." ”

"Zhao Yanei also knows?" Li Xian'e asked in surprise.

Li Qingzhao snorted and said, "This is what he owes me." ”

Mrs. Wei sighed and said, "That's all we can do now, and it's up to Helu next." ”
