Chapter 377: Lost with Follow
A pier.
Meng Xingzhi and the guards had just disembarked, and the butler, who had been waiting for a long time, immediately came forward.
"Master Hou, you can come back. It's a long journey, but you're tired, aren't you? ”
Behind him, all the servants knelt down to say goodbye.
"The minions have seen Master Hou and welcome Master Hou back to Beijing."
Meng Xingzhi frowned slightly and looked at the housekeeper: "I don't like such pomp and circumstance in the future, Uncle Chang, don't mess with these jokes next time." ”
Now no one in Beijing knows that their Meng Mansion is the most down-and-out Hou Mansion.
In his generation, the court is withering, and he is the only one in the family to support him, and he has not entered the court to seek an official position, but I am afraid that he will gradually be completely forgotten by the major families in Shangjing, and it will be difficult for the next generation to even take the position of lord.
Therefore, such a battle only disgusted Meng Xingzhi.
He didn't like the inquiring eyes of others, and then talked about their Meng family.
The housekeeper bowed his head, and when he was reprimanded, the smile on his face did not fall: "Yes, Master Hou." The minions know their mistakes. ”
Do you really know what is wrong?
I'm afraid that next time, he will still be like this.
The butler's thoughts, the three guards behind him actually know it clearly.
Since their master's marriage with the Jiang family of the Great Jin Dynasty, the housekeeper thought that this Hou Mansion could be supported.
Walking among the high-ranking families with self-care, but which time is it still a hot face and a cold ass?
Even if a few posts occasionally fly into the Hou Mansion, those who are small and small, even if the master goes, he is promoting others, but he also has his own noble identity.
This Hou Mansion withered not for a day or two, but the courtyard withered year after year.
The master was already difficult to support alone, and now everything he does is for the Hou Mansion.
The daughter of the Jiang family is indeed noble, but after all, it is also the Jiang family of the Great Jin!
In Shangjing, in this big beam, can it be a few points higher than other local nobles?
What's more, the one in the house can't get the fake on the table at all!
Does the housekeeper still think that the master does not know?
Not only did he know the identity of the fake, but he also knew that the housekeeper couldn't get out of this matter!
Sanwu didn't look down on the housekeeper in his heart, but this housekeeper never gave up taking care of the master when he was young.
That's why the master didn't hesitate to attack him.
No, he scolded Steward Chang just now, and Meng Xingzhi said to him in a gentle tone: "It's hard Uncle Chang." In my absence, everything is okay in the house? ”
The housekeeper humbly followed behind, "Go back to the Hou Ye." Everything else is fine, and the aunts in the various courtyards are very safe. It's just that the old lady was a little sick a few days ago, and recently the lady has been serving the sick herself. ”
The old lady's health improved, but the lady called Lang Zhong to see a doctor again...... Master Hou, when you return home, do you want to go and see Madame? ”
The lady in the mouth of the housekeeper is the maid Musk Yue who married Jiang Wancheng.
Meng Xingzhi once again showed displeasure: "I didn't confine her to her courtyard, why can I still go to serve in front of my mother?" ”
Steward Chang explained: "It's the old lady. After you left, she was really bored all day, so she called her wife to accompany her to copy the scriptures, chant the Buddha, and said that she wanted to dedicate it to Lingyun Temple during the Midyear Festival, for the deceased old ...... Old marquis, he, they...... Prays. ”
The butler's voice was low as he spoke to the back.
Meng Xingzhi's face was gloomy, and he didn't want to say anything more.
He happened to get to the carriage, and he was about to go up, but he saw Wujing and hurriedly ran back.
"Third Master!"
Wujing's face was abnormal, and he leaned over to Meng Xingzhi and whispered, "Master, subordinates...... Lose someone. ”
Meng Xingzhi looked at him, although he didn't say a word, but the fierce question in his eyes was enough to make Wujing ashamed and afraid.
He lowered his head and hurriedly said, "It seems to be ...... It was the girl who found something. Someone came to connect, the girl followed out of the dock, there was a sugar water shop on the side of the road, and the subordinates clearly saw the girl go in......"
The subordinates guessed that the girl must have gone to the toilet. So, just watch from afar. But then the rest of the people followed into the shop. ”
"Wait...... When his subordinates reacted that something was wrong, they rushed to the back of the sugar water shop, and there was no trace of half of it......"
Wujing's voice lowered.
He really shouldn't have made such a low-level mistake.
After all, he should have been on the alert.
It's just that he thought ...... I thought that Jiang girl was just a weak woman, so what other tricks could she turn out?
I didn't think about it, people were already alert, so they fled in front of him!
Meng Xingzhi glared at Wujing fiercely.
He has always been kind to his subordinates, and he has rarely been so fierce.
Even Uncle Chang, who didn't hear anything clearly, was secretly surprised.
Xindao: What made Hou Ye so angry?
Wujing bowed his head and knelt down on one knee: "The subordinates are not doing well, please punish the Hou Ye!" ”
Meng Xingzhi boarded the carriage and threw down the curtain fiercely.
It seemed that he was not angry, and his voice came from the carriage again after a long time: "Run? When I get to Beijing, I'll see where else she can run. ”
"Go to the city guard, ask the guard, and you will definitely find clues!"
"Wujing, I'll give you three days to find out her whereabouts! Otherwise, don't come back to me! ”
Wujing immediately shouted the order: "Yes! ”
The three nothings looked sympathetically at Wujing and followed the carriage forward.
On this side, Jiang Wancheng sat in an ox cart and walked leisurely on the dirt road in the countryside.
She smeared flowers on her face, wore loose men's clothes, had a dog's tail grass in her mouth, and looked at the sunset on the horizon, full of relaxation and comfort.
The feeling of being followed and watched by others has finally disappeared.
She just put on Shi Yi's coat, but she didn't go far.
She herself, not far behind the sugar water shop, in a wonton shop, stuffed a few pennies into the shop, and pretended to be a busy cook.
As for Erlang, he was taken by Shi Yi and Wang Yi into the crowd.
Sure enough, Jiang Wancheng found out that there was no realm with him.
It turned out that it was Meng Xingzhi.
When he was in Cangxian, he was also near the dock, right?
However, after all these days, he has not even appeared, what does he want to do?
Meng Xingzhi must have known the identity of her Jiang family's daughter-in-law, so from the time they met in Qingyang, he approached with a different purpose.
However, no matter what his purpose is, in this life, Jiang Wancheng just wants to get as far away from him as possible.
"Sister, where are we going?"
Wen Erlang looked at the fields outside the capital city, intoxicated by the endless scenery of the plain, and his heart was surging.
There is such a flat place in this heaven and earth.
He grew up in the mountains, where there were streams and fields below.
However, all of them are still surrounded by mountains.
He had never been to the plains, and naturally he had never seen them.
There are mountains in the distance, but the mountains are too far away.
It was far enough that he could pinch it as soon as he raised his hand.
In front of me, there is no end in sight.
The ears of wheat here are already browned and ripe.
The rice in the field over there has also been planted in green.
In the sparkling river, the sunset is reflected, and the occasional small fish ripples in waves......
The smoke curls up, and there are already village savages who have begun to make dinner.
Jiang Wancheng suddenly felt hungry.
I thought to myself, I don't know what delicious food I will do at home.
Seeing Wen Erlang's appearance of seeing the beautiful scenery of the plains, and finally her heart was open and refreshed, she smiled and replied: "Of course it's going home." (End of chapter)
