Shu Blossoms

Chapter 389
"That girl Miao'er came back yesterday, greeted the princess, and left after a while!" Liniang smiled and shook her head, "I don't know where that girl has gone these days!"

"Didn't you say where?"

Seeing Zheng Wei's serious questioning, Li Niang also realized the problem, "You think it's Miao Er..."

"I don't know." Zheng Wei didn't want to speak, "Yesterday she inquired about our whereabouts, and knew that we went near Chengyang Street yesterday."

"But it's a little strange!" Zheng Wei frowned, although Miao'er's behavior was a little suspicious, but it was weird everywhere!
That girl has always been bold and careful, and it is impossible to leave such a big mistake in doing things, so that I can easily notice her strangeness.

"No matter what, find her and ask her first!" If you don't understand, find someone to clarify.

From the beginning to the end, she did not believe that Miao Er would betray them.

Upon hearing this, Liniang hurriedly said, "Then I'll send someone to look for her!"

Zheng Wei didn't refuse, "The village doesn't have enough manpower, and it's not suitable to be closed for a long time to cause others to suspect. You pick a few people to look for her at the places she often goes to, and I'll send people to look for other places."

Xu Ruo questioned the people in Xiuli Village one by one, and handed over those who had problems to the blushed Liniang, and he led the others to leave Xiuli Village with Zheng Wei.

Zheng Wei was confused for a moment while riding on the horse, Xu Ruo asked, "Princess, shall we go back home?"

It took a long time before Zheng Wei answered the wrong question, "Xu Ruo, do you feel that in some hidden corner right now, someone might be watching me?"

Xu Ruo was stunned for a moment, and said: "Princess, you can go around and look around, if someone is watching, you will definitely notice it!"

"No, it's getting late, let's go home first!"

Zheng Wei clamped the horse's belly with both legs, flicked the whip lightly, and ran out first, Xu Ruo chased after him with others.

In the early morning of the next day, Mrs. Liu, the chef of Zheng's mansion, who was in charge of shopping, led two little girls out from the back door. The doorman asked politely with a smile on his face, "What is Mammy going out at this hour? But what are you going to buy?" ?”

"Go to Changganli Wharf to buy some live river fish stew. The old lady has not had a good appetite these two days and wants to eat something fresh." Mrs. Liu knew that the servant was making routine inquiries, so she took out the note from the house to show him After a quick glance, he was about to take the two little girls out.

"Changganli is far away from here, and it takes a long time to go back and forth by carriage. How do you go?" the boy asked with concern.

"Don't worry, Steward Qi has sent a donkey cart, so he can come back in time to make dinner for the old lady."

The little maid who was following Mrs. Liu answered for her, and then the three of them left the mansion, got into a donkey cart in the alley behind, and walked southward unsteadily.

The carriage stopped on the way, and the two little girls went down together, and they didn't arrive at the Qinhuai River in Changganli until it was almost time.

This is not a place where luxury boats and boats are moored. Compared with the bustling and noisy place there, you can see all the fishermen who make boats their homes and sell their jobs. It is the first time Zheng Wei has come here, but he only feels that there is nothing but the smell of fish here. The bleak and vicissitudes of life.

It can be said that it is the same day but different fate!

Mrs. Liu took them to board a fishing boat, and then asked Zheng Wei respectfully, "Princess, servant girl and Xing'er are going to visit other places, and servant girl will pick you up in half an hour."

Zheng, who was dressed as a maidservant, nodded with a smile, "Please trouble Mommy!"

"Don't dare!" Granny Liu took Xing'er off the boat, turned her head and yelled at Zheng Wei on the boat, "Tao'er, wait here to pick a few good yellow flowers, I'll go to another boat to see if there are any." good stuff!"

"Yes, mammy!" Zheng Wei replied in a cooperating coquettish voice.

Mu Wu touched the upside-down hair on his body, and asked with a smile: "It's rare to see the princess so gentle!"

He thought about the wording for a long time before he came up with an inappropriate one. Zheng Wei rolled his eyes at him and snorted, "You speak so hypocritically, this Princess will definitely not hit you!"

Mu Wu hurriedly clasped his fists to beg for forgiveness, and then asked solemnly: "The princess is so careful to meet, but there is something important to explain?"

After all, before Zheng Wei had something to do, he went directly to the Qingwei Division to send messages, but this time he actually activated the secret message that has been silent in Zheng's mansion.

"I want you to help me find someone. Do you know what is the fastest way to find someone in Jiankang City?"

Zheng Wei wasn't in the mood to joke either, so she got straight to the point.

"Who does the princess want to find?"

There are different ways to find different people.

"Miaoer!"

Zheng Wei's red lips parted slightly, but what she said surprised Mu Wuzhen.

"Have you found it and brought it back directly?" But Mu Wu also knew the rules, so he didn't ask too much, just wanted to know the result.

Zheng Wei wanted to nod at first, but after hesitating for a while, he said: "If I found it, send someone to deliver a letter to me, and I will go there by myself."

"Okay!" Mu Wu agreed and came down, looking at the wooden boats on the Qinhuai River soaked in moss, and sighed: "Actually, this is also a good place for Tibetans."

Zheng Wei followed his words and looked up, the fishermen in the boat also rested at sunset and worked at sunrise, but they rarely left the boat, if they hid people on the boat and drifted with the tide, it was really not easy to find them.

"Is there a way?" Zheng Wei asked Mu Wu.

After several years of tempering, Mu Wu is no longer the private soldier who only knew how to fight. Now he has contact with all kinds of religions and nine streams, so he naturally knows many people.

"Cats have cat paths, rats have rat paths, and these fishermen naturally have their own paths." Mu Wu said in a low voice, "Would the princess want to come and see with me?"

"Why not?" Zheng Wei frowned slightly, and agreed without hesitation.

Mu Wu went out and whispered something to the captain. The captain nodded after a little hesitation, and the boat sailed out slowly.

Just when Zheng Wei was about to follow Mu Wu to see another world, in the Wang's compound in Wuyi Lane on the other side of the Qinhuai River, all the heads of the families gathered here. They all came to look for Wang Can, but they didn't Thinking that Wang Can had already guessed such a situation, he went back to the city overnight yesterday.

Everyone ran away, and could only stop the patriarch of the Wang clan one after another, "Boxiu, Wen Yuan must have confessed to you. Tell us old brothers the truth. Your Majesty is really willing to let us buy officials with food?"

The patriarch of the Wang clan, Wang Wenchang, whose name is Boxiu, is Wang Can's uncle.

"It's not about buying an official! We have been dealing with His Majesty for ten years, and his calculating temperament is not inferior to that of the late Emperor. He can still do business at a loss? Our Majesty's calculations are still so good, is he We have to exchange two opportunities to become officials in exchange for food to feed the people of Jiankang City."

Wang Boxiu smiled with emotion, although it seems that this is an opportunity for the gentry to rejuvenate, it is actually not that easy, but they must seize the opportunity.

He was lamenting that although His Majesty is young, his mind is terribly deep. If it weren't for his weak body, the situation in the court would be even more difficult than it is now.

"Why, use our food to earn merits for the Yue clan, how can there be such a good thing!" The patriarch of the Zheng clan complained dissatisfied.

Wang Bolin's face immediately darkened, and his voice was a bit cold, "Zheng Qibin, be careful! This is Mrs. Wang, do you really think His Majesty's Qingwei Division is incompetent?"

Zheng Qibin shut his mouth in embarrassment, and the others looked at each other in dismay, muttering in their mouths, "Could it be that we let the emperor cut off our flesh?"
