Shu Blossoms

Chapter 29 Misidentification
In June, the sky is already hot, especially at noon.In the afternoon, the sultry heat dissipated a lot, there was a slight cool breeze blowing my face, and there were more people on the street.

Zheng Wei was not in the mood to join in the fun, so he wanted to turn around and leave, but when he turned around and saw that the people behind him were already crowded, he was forced to move forward.

But she was short, looked up and looked around was full of people, after thinking about it, the cat squeezed in forward with her waist down and her head lowered.

Not knowing how many walls he drilled, Zheng Wei finally got out.

The gray-haired old woman knelt in front of the gate of the county governor's mansion, and the shrill cry came from her.

Beside her, a woman wearing a burlap and a turban has been comforting her in a low voice.

What makes Zheng Wei strange is that the gate of the mansion is so noisy, and no one in the county governor's manor comes out to take care of it, leaving the old woman to cry.

Zheng Wei looked around, and many people pointed at the old woman and said something to the people beside her, with pitiful sympathy on their faces.

Out of curiosity, Zheng Wei took two steps to his side and listened carefully to what the man said.

"This old woman is an idiot. She said that her granddaughter was taken away a few days ago, so she ran to the government office and cried, but how can this old woman know which government office is in charge of this matter, and she knelt down and cried when she caught the door of the government office. Fortunately, our county governor is kind, and only sent someone to tell her to go to the government office, but after two days, the old woman came back and cried again. It has been like this for more than half a month. The people in the house are too lazy to care."

"Yeah, the county governor's wife is also very good-natured. She brought the girls back to the house today, and she didn't let anyone beat them up when she saw this situation. She only sent a mother-in-law to persuade them. But the old woman just wouldn't listen."

"So has her granddaughter been found?" Zheng Wei interjected curiously.

Hearing this, the man raised his hand to the woman who had been beside the old woman and sighed: "Nuo, this girl is the granddaughter of the old woman. This old woman is crazy and doesn't recognize anyone. She thought her granddaughter was lost, and no one would believe it."

Zheng Weifu looked at the woman again, but standing on her left side, he couldn't see her full face, and he could only see from her expression that her concern for the old woman did not seem to be a fake.

Now that she can't protect herself, she has something in her heart, and she doesn't care about other people's affairs, just like bypassing the grandparents and going to the prefect's mansion.

She didn't go to the government office, but went straight to the county governor's office mainly because she felt that what she was doing was a private matter, and it was not appropriate to publicize it, and it was better to be able to see the governor in private.

Although she knew it was difficult.

She explained to the mansion guard that she wanted to see the county guard, but the guard refused directly. The mansion is busy today, and the county guard has not returned to the mansion. .
After Zheng Wei was rejected, he was a little anxious for a while.

Seeing that it was getting dark, and I didn't have a place to stay tonight, I thought about going to the yamen to have a look.

The gate of the mansion here is the private residence of the prefect, and the official residence is in front of the private residence, but a gate is placed at the back for the convenience of family members.

It only takes an hour or two to go from the house to the government office, but to go to the government office from the outside, it takes an hour to walk from one street to another, and it is estimated that the county governor will also go back to the government office at that time.

While hesitating, a thin, cool hand grabbed her arm.

Zheng Wei was slightly startled and looked up to see the old woman who was kneeling and crying just now. She glanced at the ground subconsciously, and turned around and asked, "Auntie, what's the matter?"

The old woman ignored Zheng Wei's question, and her subordinates became more and more forceful, muttering: "Nannan, you are back? Where have you been? Why can't Grandma find you?"

As he spoke, his other hand trembled to touch Zheng Wei's cheek.

Zheng Wei wanted to hide subconsciously, and the woman who was with her grandmother quickly grabbed the old woman's hand and held it in her hand, reminding her softly: "Grandma, this is a little man, not a girl."

However, the old woman replies and grabs Zheng Wei, calling out to Nan Nan incessantly.

The woman said apologetically, "I'm really sorry, my grandma is a little crazy, she only remembers what Nan Nan looked like when she was a child."

Zheng Wei was stunned, and was no longer struggling.As soon as she relaxed here, she was dragged forward by the old woman in an instant.

The strength of the old woman is really not small, Zheng Wei was staggered and staggered, and suddenly his heart moved slightly. Anyway, there is nowhere to stay tonight. good.

Thinking of this festival, she followed the strength of the old woman and moved faster, and turned back to the old woman's granddaughter and said, "Where do you live, I will take grandma back."

The granddaughter breathed a sigh of relief and quickly thanked, "My family is in Xiuyunfang in the west of the city. If it is convenient, I will trouble you."

The old woman felt that she had found her granddaughter, with a smile on her wrinkled face, she turned to look at Zheng Wei as she walked, and said, "Go home."

On the way, Zheng Wei and his granddaughter found out that the granddaughter's surname was Qi, and the neighbors called her Liniang. On weekdays, Qi and Liniang lived together.

A few days ago, Liniang was supposed to be away from home for a day, but she went back late. Qi Qi thought she was lost again, and she became insane in a hurry.

Although Liniang said it simply, some things were avoided, but Zheng Wei still heard something was wrong, but she could feel that Liniang's concern for Qiqi was genuine.

Everyone has private matters that cannot be known, and Zheng Wei doesn't want to get to the bottom of it.

Xiuyunfang is in the west of the city, and the county governor's mansion is in the east of the city. It took nearly two hours to walk from east to west. By the time of Xiuyunfang, it was already dark.

Zheng Wei, who had no rest for a day, felt that his feet were going to be crippled, and some regretted playing this careful thought.

But now it seems too late to regret it.

Li Zheng also knew about Qi's condition, so he didn't say anything, but only asked a few words when he saw Zheng Weishi.

Liniang hurriedly explained: "My grandma recognizes Xiaolang-Jun as her granddaughter, so she insists on holding on to Xiaolang-Jun... Liao Xiaolang-jun is kind enough to send grandma back, but now Yongxingfang is also under curfew, so she can only stay here for one night. Night"

Yongxingfang is in the east of the city. Most of the wealthy people live there, and Li Zheng is not familiar with it. Judging by the appearance of Zheng Wei, he might be a servant of which family.

Zheng Wei is only half the size of a doll, and she looks neat and clean, not like that rapist.Li was in a hurry to go home and let them in without further questioning.

Liniang and Qi Qi lived in a small courtyard with only two rooms. The small courtyard was kept very clean, and there was a shelf in the middle of the courtyard to hang some clean silk. It seemed that the grandparents and grandchildren made a living by embroidery.

Liniang hurriedly put the cloth in, Qi Qi dragged Zheng Wei into the room, pressed her down on the kang and sat down, then she hurried out again.

When Zheng Wei sat down, he felt that he couldn't stand up. He kept himself restrained and didn't lie down. He looked around by the faint moonlight.

The furnishings in the house are very simple. There is a cabinet next to the wall where two or three porcelain bowls and a small bag of grain are placed.

On the low table in the middle of the kang are two round bars, which seem to be embroidered with patterns.Zheng Wei picked it up and looked at it in the moonlight. There was only one lotus pattern embroidered on it. The lotus flower was glowing with lustrous silk threads.

After about two quarters of an hour, Grandma came in with a bowl of hot nugget soup and placed it in front of her.

Zheng Wei's stomach groaned in response to the occasion.

She couldn't help but subconsciously looked into the bowl, her eyes couldn't help but get wet...
