Wen Family Has a Wife

Gao Min raised his eyebrows curiously, "What a coincidence? Is this the only one?"

Ke Qingjin nodded sharply, "Just this one, I just went to a few nearby households to inquire, but found nothing. Although Dizhou is not as rich as Jiangnan, it doesn't have as frequent floods as here, and there are fewer natural and man-made disasters, so from there The number of people coming here is not as many as other places, even if they come to Jiangnan, they are doing business, and there are not many people who are servants!"

Gao Ya let out a long sigh, "It's really a pity, I don't have a lot of food, but it's okay, it's just a glutton, but it's troublesome sister Jin who is so busy back and forth, we had a good time this afternoon, but you ran away Enough, hurry up and sit down, drink some tea, and take a rest."

Ke Qingjin looked at Gaoya pouring water for her with a concerned expression, and felt that all the hard work was worth it, "It was just a small effort, I couldn't help Miss Ya, I'm really sorry."

Gao Ya shook her head very seriously, "No, at least I've given up on it, I don't want to keep thinking about it, so I won't mention it, let's play together later!"

"Yes, yes, let's continue playing later." Ke Qingfeng clapped her hands happily.

Only Ke Qinghua was not so happy, but she would not get into trouble with her sisters at such a time.

When it was getting dark, Ke Qinghua originally wanted to keep the Gao sisters for dinner, but Lan Ling came to pick them up, and the Ke family had no choice but to give up.

Although the two families are only separated by a wall, the doors of the two mansions open in different directions, so sisters Gao Ya still have to take a sedan chair when they go back.

From leaving the Ke Mansion to entering the gate of Duke Anguo's Mansion, the two of them have been taking their time. When the gate of Duke Anguo's Mansion is closed, the sisters immediately rushed to the hall.

Chen Ningya and Wen Youshan were taken aback by their appearance, they hurriedly stood up and asked, "The wild dogs in the manor are chasing you?"

The Gao sisters: "..."

Gao Min shook his head and said, "Master, Madam, we have a big harvest today!"

Gao Ya nodded again and again, and then said: "Ke Qingjin helped me find out today, her family has no servants from Qing'an County, Dizhou, and there are no other people around, but her great-grandfather brought a man from Qing'an County decades ago. The little girl came back and said that she worked in the kitchen for a while, and then she ran out of the house because of her disfigurement, and she didn't know where she went all these years."

"Disfigured?"

"Redemption?"

Wen Youshan and Chen Ningya spoke at the same time, they looked at each other and fell silent.

Gao Min said cautiously: "Master, madam, today we met those members of the Ke family. To be honest, their family is all good at calculating. This is the nature of a businessman. If Ke Qingjin did not lie, then there is something else hidden, and the Ke family had to let people out of the mansion for the sake of reputation."

"You're right!" Chen Ningya sat down slowly, lost in thought.

Wen Youshan was straightforward, calling the housekeeper over, and ordered with a sullen face: "Go out and find out if there is a disfigured woman in her forties in the Jiangnan area. No matter who the other party is, you must investigate carefully."

"Wait!" Chen Ningya looked at the butler, and said seriously: "My sister-in-law went out of the Ke Mansion disfigured back then, and the possibility of becoming a slave again is not high. Focus on searching for ordinary people."

"Yes!" The butler replied and left.

The sisters from the Gao family went back after dinner, only Wen Youshan and Chen Ningya were left, and the atmosphere seemed a bit dull.

Chen Ningya opened her mouth, and said in a gentle voice, "There are mountains, and auspicious people have their own auspiciousness. Even my eldest brother can have today's fortune.

My sister-in-law should be fine too. "

"En." Wen Youshan's answer was a little weak, which made Chen Ningya feel very uncomfortable.

There was no useful news from the Ke family, and Gao Min and Gao Ya didn't have to go there anymore, so Chen Ningya asked them to go around with Yu Linghui more, and at the same time met many wives and ladies from small families, which was also a gift for the Gao family sisters. paving.

Ke Qinghua came over to invite her several times in a row but was in vain. Even Mrs. Ke couldn't sit still. Under such circumstances, there was news from the housekeeper.

"My lord, madam, the servants sent people to visit many places, first in the prefectural city, then in the surrounding villages of Zhuangzi, and in the county. So far, there are three people who agreed to the conditions, one in Raozhou, one in Jiangzhou, and one in Jiangzhou. The seat is in Fucheng." The butler explained the situation carefully.

Wen Youshan got up excitedly immediately, "Since there is news, what are you waiting for, let's go to the nearest family to see first."

The housekeeper looked embarrassed, "Master, I don't know the details of these people at present, even if you want to see them, you can't come to the door in such a grand manner, now how many eyes are staring at us, once you go out, the neighbor next door will know the two Is there any purpose for the lady to come?"

Wen Youshan took back the foot he had just stepped out, and walked around the room a few times irritably, "Then what do you think should be done?"

The housekeeper hesitated and rubbed his palms, and suggested bravely, "Go out in disguise...is that okay?"

When Wen Youshan and Chen Ningya put on tattered clothes and stood at the door of that house, Jiang Dayi, who was secretly watching at the corner of the alley, was so nervous that he almost scratched the wall. What's the matter! The dignified Duke is actually so capricious!

Wen Youshan took a deep breath, and when he was mentally prepared, he knocked on the door.

Soon a clear voice came from the room, "Who is it?"

As soon as the courtyard door opened, a young man in his teens wearing a short shirt and a sweat towel came out. He looked at Wen Youshan and Chen Ningya suspiciously, and frowned, "Our family has no money. They are poor people, and if they want money, they have to go to the streets.”

Seeing that the other party was about to close the door, Wen Youshan hurriedly stopped him, "Well-meaning people, we are just passing by, tired and thirsty, and want to ask your family for a bowl of water to drink. We have dry food, so we won't eat your family's food."

The boy's brows loosened, he hesitated for a moment, then turned and walked into the room, "Then you wait."

"Who is it?" A hoarse voice came from the wing room, and a woman wearing a patched coarse cloth dress came out of the room, her hair mixed with silver was a little messy, half of her face was covered, and half of her face was exposed. The face is quite normal, but the dress is not normal at first glance.

Wen Youshan and Chen Ningya looked at each other, then nodded slightly in tacit understanding, it was this person.

Chen Ningya hurriedly replied: "Hi Ma'am! We just passed by to ask for a bowl of water, can you let us sit and rest in the yard for a while."

When the woman heard the sound of water coming from the stove, she waved without much hesitation. She sat down in the corner and fiddled with the bamboo strips, and said in her mouth, "They are all poor people, where is there a lady!"

Seeing that she was quite talkative, Chen Ningya immediately replied: "Yes! We are both hard-working people, and the two of us went to Jiangnan to look for relatives because we couldn't make it through. Madam is a native of Jiangnan Prefecture?"
