Soft-waisted little maid

"What's wrong with you today? When third brother comes back, you don't go to serve him, but you come to hide here with me?"

After Sun Yuzhu finished dressing, she glanced at Xue Ke who was silent beside her and said in confusion.

Xue Ke was twisting his handkerchief on the side with an absent-minded look on his face. When he heard her calling him, he was stunned for a moment and slowly came to his senses: "I, I am no longer in the third young master's yard."

Only then did Sun Yuzhu remember that she had been assigned to be responsible for purchasing, and said "Oh."

I was about to mention last night's lantern festival to her. After thinking about it, I always wanted to ask Xue Ke about Boss Zheng. Her fourth uncle had a daughter and it was hard for her to talk, so she was thinking about how to say it. , someone came outside again.

"Miss!"

Sun Yuzhu thought that Mrs.

But the little maid who reported the news looked pale and was trembling when she spoke. It was obvious that she was not here for this matter.

"Something serious has happened, Miss." Her lips were trembling, "Miss Cai, Miss Cai is missing."

"What!" Sun Yuzhu and Xue Ke stood up in shock.

"How could this happen?" Sun Yuzhu was so frightened that she couldn't hold the hairpin in her hand. She almost had to hold on to the table to stand still. "I was with Xiu Xiu last night. Didn't I ask Xiu Xiu to send her back last night? ?”

The little maid's eyes were red: "The concierge said that Xiuxiu didn't come back last night, and the maid who lived in the same room with her also said that she had never seen her. She originally said that she and the lady would go to the lantern festival at night, so it would be a waste if she didn't go back on time. Yes, of course I don’t have any suspicion. I never thought I didn’t see it this morning.”

Sun Yuzhu became frightened. Xue Ke saw that something was wrong with her, so he quickly went up to support her, and then asked: "What did the people in their other courtyard say? Miss Cai came to stay in her own courtyard, and she didn't come back all night. , why did you wait until this morning to ask!"

"The people from the Cai Mansion said that they just thought they were staying at the young lady's place, so they didn't think too much about it. They sent someone to ask this morning and found out that they were missing." The little maid said with a smile in her voice. Go down.

"But..." Sun Yuzhu was too anxious to speak.

"These people are good. Do you want to blame our Sun Mansion for such a sentence? If we stay at the Sun Mansion at night, how can the servants of our house not go to other courtyards to spread the word according to the rules? I guess these people usually The master doesn't come over and is very unorganized. Now that something has gone wrong so big, he has to push the responsibility outward." Xue Ke frowned.

"Then what should we do?"

"Where's the madam? Does the madam know? Where are the master and the old lady?" Xueke realized and asked immediately.

The little girl shook her head: "People from the Cai family's courtyard came to the concierge to ask questions. The concierge came to see the slave as soon as possible. I guess the news has not reached the ears of the second mistress yet."

Xue Ke immediately said without thinking: "This matter can't be hidden from Second Grandma for too long. It's best to find Miss Cai before then. I'll go to Fourth Master's place. He knows many people, so I'll ask him to get it first." As for the idea, as for the people in the Cai Mansion, the fifth girl has to meet in person. She must let them understand that now is not the time to shirk responsibility. It is important to find a way to find Miss Cai together. Otherwise, everyone in the other house may not be able to escape. .”

Sun Yuzhu nodded, but still felt uneasy: "Should I report it to the official first?"

"No." Xue Ke interrupted her immediately, "After the Qiu Ju Banquet that day, everyone knew that Miss Cai came to Yin County. If the news about her missing spreads, a small matter will become a big matter, which will damage her reputation. If so, it will be difficult for Miss Cai to be a good person even if she comes back safely. I will go find the fourth master. He has good relations with the county magistrate. Even if I want to find her, I can only ask him to go and find someone privately and not make a big fuss."

"Yes, yes." Sun Yuzhu quickly understood. Xue Ke didn't have time to say any more. After explaining how to deal with the people in Cai Mansion, he turned around and immediately went to Xi Mansion.
.
Fourth Master Sun failed to get a good night's sleep again today.

On a Mid-Autumn Festival like this, he naturally wanted to feast to his heart's content, with fine wines and beauties, changing glasses, but when he returned home early in the morning, the door was knocked again as soon as he lay down.

Just as he was about to curse, he realized that it was his boy Sun Zan again.

When he saw the other person, he was stunned for a moment, wondering whether he was still drunk and hallucinating, or whether he had fallen asleep and started dreaming?

He suddenly woke up when he heard Sun Zan's cold voice.

"If fourth uncle doesn't control himself, he will probably suffer from gout like his grandfather soon." Sun Zan didn't wait for him to speak and walked into his house on his own.

Sun Zhilu waxed his face in an instant, and it was like this ancestor was back again.

"Whether it's gout or not, you're really good. Are you coming back without even entering the Qiuwei examination room? Abandoned the exam?" Sun Zhilu didn't spare him.

Sun Zan was not reassured by his words and wandered around his hall: "Where is the wine hidden?"

Sun Zhilu had a sarcastic expression on his face, but when he heard him mention the wine, his eyes lit up, he closed the door silently, and greeted him with a smile: "What? After a trip to Hangzhou, you know the benefits of wine? Our brother Zan is really tall. Now that I have grown up, I asked my uncle to come over for a drink this early in the morning and tell me if I have anything on my mind as an adult? I promise not to tell anyone about it, Fourth Uncle."

Sun Zan ignored him and glanced around, then took out a white wine bottle from the back of his bookcase, took it to the table, and poured a glass for him and himself.

"You..." Sun Zhilu felt a little distressed as he looked at his wine collection, "You have something to say, and I don't owe you anything. Why did you come up here and grab such expensive wine?"

He was afraid that Sun Zan had poured too much, so he snatched the jug back from his hand, and then drank the cup in front of him in one gulp.

"Fourth uncle, why is it that fourth uncle still doesn't want to marry a wife?"

Sun Zan suddenly asked without any clue.

Sun Zhilu raised his eyebrows. He was asking about emotional matters, so he cleared his throat proudly: "You kid, if it's an emotional matter, just ask your fourth uncle. This man, although it has been said since ancient times that there are three wives and four It is normal to have concubines, but once you get married, have a wife at home, and a mistress in the back house, it will naturally be different, and you have to keep everything."

He glanced at Sun Zan as he spoke, and saw that his face was getting darker and darker as he listened, so he hurriedly stopped talking: "Actually, our status has advantages and disadvantages. If you like a girl who is the right match for you, you will naturally It’s a nice talk that I like to hear, but if it’s not, it’s not a good thing for myself or the other party. Like me, since the position of a head wife can’t be given to the person I want, then I might as well not give it to anyone.”

Having said this, there was a knock on the door suddenly.

"Fourth Master, are you at home? It's urgent!"

It's Snow Guest's voice.
