Lord Shang Shu is easy to bend down

Chapter 394
Xie Yuanniang met shopkeeper Zhao in the tea room where the concierge stayed, and shopkeeper Zhao was still calm. After Xie Yuanniang came in, he went up to greet him first, and learned things again without Xie Yuanniang asking.

"My son is never playful, and he is the only child in the family. I am afraid that my parents will worry that I will never spend the night outside. Even if I come back late, someone will send a message back." Shopkeeper Zhao paused, "I didn't come back last night. I'm afraid that something has happened."

He only knew that the girl had ordered his son to go out to do something, but he didn't know what to do.

But it must have nothing to do with this matter.

Xie Yuanniang didn't hide it either, she told Zhao Gui what she had told Zhao Gui, and the shopkeeper Zhao said after listening, "Young one, go to the Caiyi shop to find out if Zhao Gui has gone, maybe you can find clues."

Xie Yuanniang asked Ling Mei to go with her, "If there is any news, Ling Mei can come back and inform me as soon as possible."

Seeing that the girl was also so worried, shopkeeper Zhao felt better.

He didn't dare to blame the master, after all, their lives belonged to the master, but he was such an only child, if something happened to him, he would have no hope.

His master's actions and attitude also made him feel better.

Seeing off shopkeeper Zhao and Ling Mei, Xie Yuanniang felt uneasy, Zhao Gui is not an impulsive person, he must have encountered something, knowing this, Xie Yuanniang was even more anxious.

Time passed little by little, and Lingmei didn't come back.

Xie Yuanniang always sent people to run to the concierge, and Xiao Shu also knew about it, and called the person over to ask questions, "But what happened? I heard from the concierge that the shopkeeper Zhao from the pen and ink shop is here."

"It was a piece of ink that I took a fancy to. Shopkeeper Zhao found it for me. I told Lingmei to pick it up. That girl hasn't come back yet."

Xiao Shu smiled and poked her on the head, "It's just a piece of ink, it makes you nervous, I have a few pieces of good fragrant ink in my treasury, and the words written will last for a long time. That is the dowry given to me by your grandfather." After a while, I will have someone search for it and send it to you."

"Mother, such an expensive life, you should keep it." Xie Yuanniang knew it was very precious when she heard it. She was lying just now, but her mother loved her so much.

"I don't like playing with those pens and inks. Only when they are in your hands can they play their role. You and your own mother are so polite." Xiao Shu is also the only daughter in the family, and she has been doted on since she was a child. The Shu family is also a big family. There are many good things in the Shu family.

Seeing this, Xie Yuanniang could only agree.

As a result, Ling Mei never returned, and there was no news.

Seeing that the sky was getting dark, Xie Yuanniang called Han Xue, and seeing Han Xue hesitated to speak, it was Han Xue who spoke first, "Miss, let the servant girl go, the servant girl ran past her hometown back then. "

"I'm worried. The shopkeepers Ling Mei and Zhao know that I'm waiting for news, but they haven't seen anyone yet. I'm worried that something happened." Xie Yuanniang didn't expect that Min's would be involved, and the matter would be so serious. No need to go, just go to the book ink shop and see if shopkeeper Zhao has returned, don't go to that colorful clothes shop."

Under Xie Yuanniang's repeated exhortations, Han Xue left.

It was night, Xie Yuan couldn't sleep.

She heard something beating against the rear window, she sat up from the bed, got out of bed barefoot, and pushed the rear window open. There was nothing outside the rear window except the night sky.

Xie Yuanniang felt that she was a frightened bird at this time, and she would be startled at the slightest sign of trouble.

Suddenly, her expression changed, and her eyes fell on the window sill, where a wooden hairpin was quietly placed.

At one end of the hairpin is a cluster of wind cured flowers, just like the white jade comb that her uncle gave her.

Xie Yuanniang picked up the hairpin and looked into the darkness.

Was it sent by my uncle?
And why send a hairpin?
Xie Yuanniang tightly held the hairpin in her hands, tied the window belt, lay back on the bed and thought about it all night, but she couldn't figure out what the intention was.

But after a burst of wind and cold, Xie Yuanniang woke up the next day with a heavy head, and when Zui Dong combed her hair, she found that the master had a fever.

This is not a trivial matter, Xiao Shu was so nervous that he wished he could turn the entire Confucian mansion upside down.

In the front yard, after Kong Daru lost Huang Hu, he couldn't sleep well. Hearing the chaos in the yard, he couldn't help frowning, "What happened?"

Shuangshou didn't dare to hide it, "It's the eldest girl who is sick."

"Sick? Why are you sick?" Kong Daru turned around, and before Shuangshou could answer, he let out a groan, "It's because no one came to propose a marriage, so you came up with this idea again?"

Then he snorted, "A woman's view."

Shuangshou lowered his head.

Kong Daru was still annoyed by this matter, the attitude of the second prince was very clear, he intended to raise his side concubine, and he also took a fancy to Xie Yuanniang, but he was just waiting for an opportunity to bring it up to the emperor, but these women in the mansion were restless and kept going all day long. I'm looking for someone there.

The corners of his lips curled slightly, called Shuangshou, and whispered a few words in his ear, Shuangshou's face immediately changed.

"Master." Shuangshou almost cried.

Kong Daru stared, "Hurry up."

Shuangshou could only bite the bullet and leave.

In the alley to Liu's mansion, as soon as Liu Xuan came back, he saw two people walking in front, still talking while walking. People noticed the content of their conversation, or because they mentioned the second girl.

"Although our girl was recognized later, she is also the daughter of the Concubine family. Do you know what a granddaughter is? Our old man is a great Confucian in the world. How can his daughter be married lowly?"

"Let me tell you that you must not say it out loud. The second prince has already intended to marry our second girl as a side concubine."

"To be a side concubine?"

"No, it's only a few days away." The young man in green robe looked proud, and raised the wine in his hand, "Okay, I'm going back to deliver wine to the old man, so I won't tell you .What I just told you, don’t tell others.”

The two walked farther and farther, but Liu Xuan fell into deep thought.

And at the end of the alley, Shuangshou wiped the sweat from his forehead. He was doing what the old man told him to do. Thinking about this matter, if there was a trouble, his flesh would already start to ache.

On this day, Xie Yuanniang sweated after taking the medicine, and she became much more energetic. Han Xue also came back. She didn't dare to say when Xiao Shu was there. Xie Yuanniang waited for her mother to leave, and asked Han Xue.

"Girl, I'm going. Aunt Zhao is the only one in the shop. She thought that shopkeeper Zhao was at the house, and the slaves were afraid that she would be worried. They lied and said that the girl left shopkeeper Zhao to help reconcile the accounts, but they didn't dare to tell her the truth."

Xie Yuanniang said, "It's rare that you are careful."

Thinking of the three missing people, Xie Yuanniang's heart was also heavy. She was holding a wind-cured wooden hairpin in her hand. Could it be that the little uncle was telling her to find him for anything?
It was getting dark, Xie Yuanniang couldn't take it anymore, she had no one else to ask for except her little uncle, and her father was a literati, let alone help.
