Chapter 130

The aunt did not stop to consider, but quickly said: "To tell you the truth, the old man is the master of the servant. It's just that the master is seriously ill and has been ill for many years. The servant also went to other people's homes to help servants, so he is called an old man. The master can talk He said in the past that he once had a daughter whose eyebrows and eyes were very similar to his late wife when she was a baby. At that time, he was seriously ill and could not take care of the child, so he gave it to his brother-in-law. This walk is 15 Years ago, I haven’t seen it all the time, and now the servants will ask a few more questions whenever they see someone with eyebrows and eyes similar to Mrs. Xian’s and the same age.”

When Xu Jiatong heard Aunt Yang's words, she was very surprised at first, but she had heard all kinds of rumors and Xu Lianping's words, after thinking about it, she felt that it was not unacceptable.

But she didn't think she was the girl that Aunt Yang said, but she didn't feel that unreliable, she didn't think she was a liar.

Bi Shui was anxious first: "Why does this aunt talk? They all have one nose and two eyes. You wouldn't just pull over someone who looks like it on the street, right? Our girls have names and surnames, and fathers. You have a mother, it can't be the girl you mentioned."

"This servant just thinks this girl is too similar, so I asked." Aunt Yang looked at Xu Jiatong without flinching.

Xu Jiatong signaled Bi Shui to step aside, and replied: "I'm just old enough to be true, but as my maid said, there are many similar people in the world, and there are countless people at my age. If you ask me that, It was rash."

Aunt Yang was overjoyed when she heard the word "Jiji", nodded and said: "Recklessness is recklessness, but there is always a glimmer of hope. I wonder if the girl's surname is Zhao? Or is there any relative named Zhao in the family, even a close friend? .”

"This time you made a mistake. My surname is not Zhao, but Xu, and I don't have any relatives or friends with the surname Zhao." Xu Jiatong laughed.

If the surname is Zhao, the Xu family knows the royal family, such as Wang Shang Zhao Yu and Xiang Wang Zhao Yuanxiang, but these people will not be the people whose surname is Zhao that Aunt Yang said.

Aunt Yang was very disappointed, and her eyes dimmed all of a sudden: "The man whose surname Zhao the servant girl mentioned is the master's brother-in-law. When the lady took them away, she said that she would not let them see each other easily, and even if they did, they would not recognize each other."

There must be a lot of family affairs involved in this, so it is inconvenient for outsiders to explain too clearly.

"I don't know what are the characteristics of Mr. Zhao you mentioned? If I see it, I can send someone to tell you about it." Xu Jiatong said.

Aunt Yang's brows lit up with hope again, and she immediately said: "At that time, Mr. Zhao didn't come here very often. The slaves only remembered that there was a mole on his right wrist. He was resolute in his actions, and to put it bluntly, he was a bit unscrupulous. His original partner My wife and our first wife are sisters of the same father and mother. They are both surnamed Dai. They were married during the war. But the first lady’s elder sister was unlucky and passed away just after the war. Know this."

"Then I will pay attention." Xu Jiatong wrote it down, asked a few more questions, and Aunt Yang was called back to wash clothes.

Pulling a servant woman from the yard to ask a few words, Bi Shui said: "Aunt Yang is indeed not easy. On the one hand, she has to serve the old master who is paralyzed on the bed and can't speak, and on the other hand, she also needs to earn money to support the old master and her family. This is even more difficult than the girl back then."

"I don't know if her old master's daughter is lucky or not. With her uncle, she can at least live a comfortable life, but she can't be filial to her biological father. I don't know what kind of hatred Master Zhao has with his brother-in-law. According to Aunt Yang, when he took his daughter away, he was already seriously ill, so he was not allowed to see her." Xu Jiatong sighed.

Without thinking too much, Xu Jiatong and Bi Shui walked through the alley and arrived at the gate of Dai Mansion.Looking up and facing the "Dai Mansion" plaque written with vigorous brushwork, Xu Jiatong suddenly let out a "huh".

"Just now Aunt Yang said that her old master's wife was named Dai, and Mr. Zhao's wife is also named Dai. This Dai name is not common in Western Capital. Do you think it has something to do with Master Dai?" Xu Jiatong said in a low voice.

Bi Shui thought for a while, and said: "It's possible, you can ask the girl."

Xu Jiatong got the pass and went directly to the flower hall designated by Dai Yuanguan, but he didn't see Dai Yuanguan there.

There are two paintings hanging in this flower hall, one is Aoxue Hanmei, and the other is the back view of a little girl washing clothes by the stream.

Xu Jiatong was a little curious about the latter. Ordinary people would not hang such a painting abruptly in the place where they met visitors.It must be that Dai Yuanguan had some kind of experience, or the experience of obtaining this painting is quite unique.

"Hey, this stone... this clothes..." Xu Jiatong frowned.

How does this seem to be the stream where she used to wash clothes when she was a child?She seemed to have worn this dress, but because it was too tattered, she threw it directly into the fire.

However, how could anyone paint in such a remote place?Dai Yuanguan shouldn't be the one who did the painting. Based on her age at that time, Dai Yuanguan was not too much older than her, so he shouldn't have such a brushstroke, and this painting has some ideas.

"What are you looking at?" Dai Yuanguan was not sitting on the wooden wheelchair, but was helped in by Zhao Qiyun.

Zhao Qiyun withdrew, Xu Jiatong stepped forward to say hello, and smiled politely: "Master Dai's body is healed, he's taking good care of him, he will recover soon, and he won't have to sit on such troublesome things in the future."

Dai Yuanguan was a little embarrassed, coughed lightly, and didn't answer her words: "Xu Jialan's face is healed?"

"The medicine given by Master Dai is very effective, and it really is good to lean against the big tree to enjoy the shade." Xu Jiatong felt that this was not a compliment at all.

"Don't put your mind on a useless woman, you should think about how to use the grease. The pigment mixed with the grease is not for dyeing silk thread and cloth, but for painting." Dai Yuanguan glanced at her.

"Master Dai, please give me some pointers." Xu Jiatong said again.

Dai Yuanguan pursed his lips, and snorted coldly: "I've said everything that needs to be said, and if you can't understand the rest, don't come in front of me."

"I will definitely not disappoint Master Dai." Xu Jiatong said.

"We were looking at that painting just now? Tell me, what did you see?" Dai Yuanguan took the initiative.

Xu Jiatong felt as if a steamed bun had been stuffed in his throat when he asked him, and he was so suffocated that he couldn't speak.You can't ask him why there is her in the painting, can you?

In case he said that she was self-indulgent, it wasn't her at all, wouldn't he even come down?

"The girl in the washclothes in this painting looks young and thin, she looks like the daughter of a poor family. It's a hard life, if I don't wash it, I may not be able to eat." Xu Jiatong was vague about the matter.

"You see this?" Dai Yuanguan raised his eyebrows.
