Rebirth of the beautiful wife of the Republic of China

Chapter 9

After asking the servants in Zheng's residence, they found out that Zheng Minghui and her elder brother were not at home, they just went out.

Qiao Wan came here in a hurry, but returned disappointed, a little disappointed.

In the end, Qiao Wan and Mrs. Qiao returned home dispirited.On the way home, Qiao Wan saw Lu Xiangbei standing at the corner of the street from a distance, looking towards her home.Qiao Wan carefully peeked at Mrs. Qiao. Fortunately, Mrs. Qiao lowered her head and was thinking about things, so she didn't notice Lu Xiangbei, and she was relieved from the bottom of her heart.

Qiao Wan helped Mrs. Qiao into the mansion, and when Mrs. Qiao was not paying attention, she took a special look at Lu Xiangbei when she was about to enter the door.Qiao Wan arranged for Mrs. Qiao, and after Mrs. Qiao went to rest, she told Mama Zhang that she was going out to meet a classmate, and she went out.

Qiao Wan didn't like the location on the street corner very much, as if she was secretly doing bad things behind someone's back.

Qiao Wan walked out as usual, but she felt a little dissatisfied with Lu Xiangbei: You just stand on the corner of the street and look towards Qiao's house, is this really okay?But as soon as she crossed the street corner and saw Lu Xiangbei's respectable face, Qiao Wan immediately became timid, suppressed her temper, and said silently: don't offend, don't offend.Qiao Wan's tone was as calm as possible, "Is there any news?"

Lu Xiangbei said honestly: "I searched the Xihua Hutong for you several times, and there is no such person as Li Jiao. But I also checked the entire hutong on the West Street, and there are people who have lived in it in the past six months. It's called Li Jiao. I've drawn them all, take a look to see if there's anyone you're looking for."

As Qiao Wan listened, she looked at Lu Xiangbei differently, and thought to herself: She really is a material for great things. With such careful and thoughtful thinking, the title of Master Lu in the future is well deserved.

Just as Lu Xiangbei handed over the stack of paintings in Qiao Wan's hands, seeing Qiao Wan's green and white hands, he felt dwarfed by comparison.I added a sentence with embarrassment: "The painting is not very good, but it can be seen. Take a look first. If there is no one you want to find, I will help you find other places."

Qiao Wan looked at Lu Xiangbei's paintings, in terms of technique, they are definitely not superior works, even a little painting technique can't be seen; but in terms of the artistic conception in the paintings, they are definitely among the best.Simple lines, rough and rough mixed with delicacy, some places are quite rough, but the appearance and character of the people in the painting give people a very intuitive feeling, the cuteness of a child, the smile in the eyes of an old man , the [-]-year-old youth is overflowing, as if it is vividly presented in the eyes of the viewer, and the essence of the characters is painted in every detail.

Only then did Qiao Wan realize that she had forgotten to tell him about Li Jiao's approximate age and appearance.

Qiao Wan looked over one by one, and after looking at it, she really found Li Jiao.The Li Jiao in the painting does not have the good looks that Qiao Wan had when she met her in her previous life, and she does not even have the capital to be arrogant. What is just endless exhaustion and the lingering sadness between her brows makes her look a bit old.

Qiao Wan pulled out Li Jiao's portrait and asked, "Where is this person now?"

Lu Xiangbei carefully investigated the matter of the people in Qiao Wan's painting. Needless to say, he also remembered the matter of Sesame Mung Bean clearly.When Qiao Wan asked, Lu Xiangbei knew everything and said everything, "She just moved in a while ago, the house in the innermost part of Dayang Hutong. She is a widow, aged 36, and everyone in the family She was the only one left after she died. She had no livelihood, so she just took jobs to wash clothes and earn some ration money. Neighbors in the neighborhood looked at her very pitifully, and often introduced her to a temporary job."

Qiao Wan nodded lightly, put away the painting in her hand, raised her eyes to Lu Xiangbei and asked, "Do you know any reliable people who specialize in swindling?"

Lu Xiangbei's words sound contradictory, a cheater?More reliable?Who can be reliable as a swindler!Lu Xiangbei is not a stupid person. Qiao Wan first asked Li Jiao to find him, and now he asked him to find someone who cheated, kidnapped and stole. Eighty to ninety percent of them could guess Qiao Wan's purpose. "But for that Li Jiao?"

Qiao Wan nodded indifferently, while staring at Lu Xiangbei's reaction.
