Congxi was still thinking about it, he felt that his arm was grasped, and he looked at Cong Ran, and Congran said with a worried face: "Sister, the person above is Wu Jiang, he has seen you, what should I do if he recognizes you?" ”

Congxi comforted: "You forget, I put on makeup at that time, and my face is very different from now, and now there is Sister Lan, as well as Jian Xuan and Yun Xian to help us, even if he recognizes me, if he really fights, they may not have beaten us, and besides, it is a question whether Wu Jiang dares to recognize me." ”

He breathed a sigh of relief when he heard it, but he didn't dare to let go of his arm.

Lan Chu said: "You have a grudge against that person? ”

Congxi nodded: "It's a bit of a grudge, it's a long story, I'll tell Sister Lan slowly when I go back, I haven't eaten in the morning, I'm a little hungry, let's go over and eat something first." ”

Lan Chu nodded and didn't ask anything more. Cong Xi walked to the opening of the banquet door, did not greet Mrs. Qu and them, hesitated for a moment, walked to the free long table next to Luo Yi on the right, Lan Chu also followed, and saw the two free tables next to Yun Xian on the right, and was about to walk over, when he saw Congxi walking to the left, glanced at Wu Jiang, and turned around to follow Congxi, and the three of them sat down at the long table on the right.

Qu Zaichen looked at Congxi, stared at Congxi, pondered, Yun Xian glanced at Congxi, glanced at Qu Zaichen, smiled idly, looked at Qu Zaichen and said: "From the past I have been very close to me, no longer like before, not an inch of follow, but the two tables next to me are empty, and he also ran to follow Congxi, Miss Lan squeezed a table, I think there is something here, guess what, we guess one by one, how about the one who guesses correctly wins ten taels of silver?" ”

Qu Zaichen ignored Yun Xian, and continued to stare at Congxi, Feng Nianqing's face was more sad and haggard than before, staring at Qu Zaichen intently, seeing Qu Zaichen's expression, looking at Congxi, his expression was even more gloomy.

Luo Yi saw Congxi sitting down next to him, and hurriedly raised his hand to salute, "Young lady." ”

Congxi said casually: "Luo Yi, we have known each other for so long, why are you still so outside." Congxi leaned over and approached Luo Yi, his body crossed the space between the two tables, and he was about to stick to Luo Yi, Luo Yi was suddenly shocked, leaned back and bumped into Meng Xuan, Meng Xuan also turned his head to look at Congxi, Luo Yi asked in surprise: "Young lady, you..." What are you doing? ”

Congxi: "What are you nervous about, be quiet, I'll ask you something." ”

Luo Yi still leaned away, away from Congxi, and lowered his voice: "Young lady, please ask." ”

Looking ahead, Old Madam Qu was talking and laughing with Old Madam Wu, looking very close, and turned to look at Luo Yi and said, "What is the relationship between Old Madam Qu and Old Madam Wu, I feel that they are quite close?" ”

Luo Yi: "Old Mrs. Wu is the old lady's cousin, she was separated before, and she only met by chance in the Natural Medicine Hall half a year ago, and the sisters recognized each other. “

Cong Xi frowned and said: "Since you are a relative, why haven't you seen Mrs. Wu come to Qufu, and I haven't heard my grandmother say that the Wu family came over today?" ”

Luo Yi: "Originally, after Mrs. Wu and Mrs. Wu recognized each other, the five old ladies often came to the house to gossip with the old lady, but five months ago, the Wu Mansion... Something happened, and Mrs. Wu was busy dealing with it and never came again. ”

Congxi: "Do you mean that Wu Jiang was accused of being a thief five months ago and hung on the street outside the window?" Will the Wu family look for someone who stripped Wu Jiang of his clothes and hung him on the street? ”

Luo Yi was surprised: "How does the young lady know?" ”

Congxi casually: "The matter of Wujiang is rumored to be boiling, and how many people in Jinzhou don't know." ”

Luo Yi nodded: "Yes, this incident has greatly damaged the reputation of the Wu family, the Wu family is in the garment business, there are many women's ready-to-wear shops in Jinzhou, after the news of the incident, the Wu family's shop is full of people, and the business has plummeted, and Mrs. Wu has been trying to recover it in recent months."

The shopkeeper Wu insisted that he did not do anything to bully the woman of the good family, and Mrs. Wu also firmly believed that her son was wronged. It is said that the shopkeeper Wu also has a servant named Lu Lian, she said that the murderers who framed them were two women, and some people on the street also saw that when Wu Jiang was hung on the street, two women fled quickly from the Yuan embroidery clothing store, but it was a pity that a woman was wearing a veil at that time, a woman was wearing a hat, and no one saw their faces, and the shopkeeper Wu and the servant A Lian only saw a woman's appearance, Mrs. Wu went to report to the official, and the government drew an image of a woman according to the Wu shopkeeper and the servant A Lian, posted a notice, searched for two months, and did not touch a figure at all, The government has other cases to deal with, and this matter is over.

Mrs. Wu was not convinced, saying that their Wu family has always been benevolent and upright, never doing bad things, and cannot be slandered like this in vain, Mrs. Wu initially suspected their business rivals, in order to squeeze their ready-to-wear store, she deliberately found someone to slander the shopkeeper Wu, but after two more months of investigation, they checked their business opponents, and still did not find a trace of clues. Mrs. Wu was unwilling, hired a lot of people, and asked her son to help, and sent a lot of people from Qufu to search for the woman from house to house with the portrait, looking for a month, Jinzhou was almost turned over by us, and we didn't find the woman. Moreover, the Wu family also asked the government to offer a reward to find someone, and the Wu family paid for it, although some people provided clues, but they were not the villain, it is estimated that the woman is no longer in Jinzhou, it is difficult to find, the world is so big, those two villains can hide casually, I am afraid they will not be able to find it for a lifetime, and the old lady Wu is also a little discouraged, so she stopped for a while, and at the invitation of the old lady, come and relax, the old lady did not say, it should be that the Wu family was not sure whether the Wu family would come over. ”

Congxi pondered: "Luo Yi, you also helped find the woman in the portrait?" ”

Luo Yi nodded: "Old Madam Wu asked the old lady for help, and now the affairs of the Qu family are all handled by the son, and the old lady will let the son help the old lady Wu find the villain." ”

Congxi: "You must have seen the portrait of that woman, don't you think it's familiar?" ”

Luo Yi was puzzled: "No, why did the young lady ask that?" ”

Congxi lowered his eyebrows and thought for a moment, seemed to understand something, shook his head and said: "It's okay, Luo Yi, you always say that the woman is a villain, and you also think that Wu Jiang was wronged, and those two villains deliberately framed him?" ”

Luo Yi hesitated and said: "I didn't believe it, but Mrs. Wu used all means to find that woman, and often pestered the government to investigate the case as soon as possible, and she was still running around when she was old, if the shopkeeper Wu was not wronged, they dared to act like this?" ”

Congxi sighed: "Or Mrs. Wu doesn't know her son well enough." ”

Luo Yi was surprised: "The young lady is saying..."

Congxi interrupted: "It's okay, Wu Jiang's son Wu Yong, I see that he looks at Qu Miaozhi from time to time, he likes Qu Miaozhi?" ”

Luo Yi nodded: "Wu Gongzi once helped the government to arrest thieves on the street, and his leg was injured, and the third lady happened to pass by, so she let Wu Gongzi take her own carriage and send Wu Gongzi home." Since then, Wu Gongzi came to Qufu as a guest, and often peeked at the third lady, and anyone with a discerning eye could see that he liked the third miss, but the third miss did not seem to have good intentions towards him, and often avoided it, it is said that Wu Gongzi usually respected his father very much, and after the Wu shopkeeper had an accident, Wu Gongzi was also trying his best to find the murderer, and never came to Qufu again. I heard that Wu Gongzi likes martial arts, and is determined to walk the rivers and lakes and act chivalrous, because Mrs. Wu forced him to take over the Wu family's business, and often had disputes with Mrs. Wu, but this time he tried his best to track down for a few months, and he did not find the villain who framed his father, he was very depressed, and he seemed to be happier to see the third lady. ”

Congxi: "This Wu Gongzi's eye for people doesn't seem to be very good." ”

Luo Yi was stunned for a moment and did not speak.

Congxi glanced at Wu Jiang again and said, "Wu Jiang's concubine Hongling, do you know her origin?" ”

Luo Yi shook his head: "I don't know, I only heard that she was an orphan girl rescued by the shopkeeper Wu when he went out to talk about business, and the shopkeeper Wu saw that she was lonely and pitiful, so he accepted her as a concubine, and Mrs. Wu didn't like her son to take a concubine, I heard that when the two returned home, the wood was already in the boat, so she had no choice but to agree to Wujiang to take a concubine." ”

Congxi: "This old lady Wu has some of the demeanor of an old lady in our family, and she is worthy of being the cousin of the old lady." ”

Luo Yi hesitated and said: "The young lady even knows the name of Wu Jiang's concubine, and she seems to know the affairs of the Wu family very well. Particularly interested? ”

Congxi: "Only by understanding can we know ourselves and the enemy, since Luo Yi suspects that I have other motives, I won't ask." Could you please move to the opposite side with Meng Xuan and sit down, and I'll talk to Jian Xuan about something?" ”

Luo Yi hesitated and said, "Childe is over there, and it would be better for the young lady to sit next to Childe." ”

Congxi: "I don't want to be better, I just want to do what I want." ”

Luo Yi hesitated and didn't move, and looked at Meng Xuan from Xi: "Meng Xuan, are you familiar with Jian Xuan and Cang Ze?" ”

Meng Xuan shook his head: "I'm not very familiar." ”

Congxi: "Then can you trouble the two sons to move to the opposite side and let me talk to Jian Xuan?" ”

Meng Xuan glanced at Luo Yi, hesitated, and looked at Luo Yi from Xi: "Luo Yi, you go over again, I shouted that you insulted me." ”

Luo Yi glanced at Congxi in surprise, Ma Li stood up and left quickly, and Meng Xuan also hurriedly stood up and followed. As soon as Luo Yi sat down on the opposite side, Yun Xian leaned over.
