Upon hearing Chen Huan'an's words, the store owner realized that this was the person who was tricked by Su's Restaurant last time.
I just didn't expect that the enemy's road was narrow now, and this enemy would actually come to me to cause trouble.
The store owner hurriedly said in a panic, "Go! Go! Go! Where are the beggars from? Don't cause trouble here."
While talking, the store owner planned to drive Chen Huanan away.
However, how could Chen Huanan tolerate others treating him as a beggar? He immediately refuted, "Who is a beggar? How can you talk! When you teamed up with the Sujia Tavern to defraud me of my hosta, why didn't you say such nonsense? "
"What nonsense are you talking about! Come on, get this lunatic out quickly!" The store owner was really afraid that Chen Huanan would disturb his business, so he quickly called to his waiter to drive Chen Huanan and Chen Wumei away. go out.
However, the guest just now had heard what Chen Huanan said, and although this guest could accept that the hairpin had another owner, what he couldn't accept was that the hairpin still had the mark left by the previous owner. After all, the other party had another owner. It's not a celebrity. Just leaving a mark doesn't add value. On the contrary, it makes it look even cheaper.
Therefore, the guest did not choose to buy the hairpin because Chen Huanan was kicked out. On the contrary, he only bought the hairpin after Chen Huanan was kicked out.
The store owner naturally noticed the customer's lack of interest, and he quickly asked, "Guest, do you still want this hairpin? If you want it, we can sell it to you at a discount."
However, the store's words made the customer feel even more meaningless.
After all, he is not a person who is short of money. How can a person like him who can spend a thousand taels of silver to buy hairpins care about money? What he cares more about is obviously his worth.
The store's words only made the customer instantly feel that the hairpin was even more worthless. How could such a worthless thing be worthy of his status?
So when he heard what the store owner said, he just threw the hairpin faster and said lightly, "I don't want this hairpin anymore."
Upon hearing what the customer said, the store owner became anxious and said, "Guest, why don't you want this hairpin? We can give you a low price."
The customer said calmly, "If you don't want it, you don't want it. The goods haven't left the counter, and they haven't been damaged. Does the store still want me to give an explanation?"
When the store owner heard this, he immediately became anxious, "Master, I misunderstood, what did I mean?"
"Would the guests like to see other things?"
However, the customer waved his hand when he heard this, and then he left directly from the counter.
The shop owner felt heartbroken when he saw his customer leaving suddenly. After all, the one thousand taels of silver notes that he almost received disappeared like this.
At this time, Chen Huanan only continued to curse when he was driven out of the pawn shop by the shop owner.
After all, after realizing that he had been deceived by the store owner into wearing the same outfit, anyone else would have scolded the store owner, not to mention that he was now in dire straits.
Chen Huanan stood up and wanted to rush to the pawn shop again. He had to get back the price of his hairpin.
However, Chen Wumei on the side immediately grabbed Chen Huanan's hand, and she only showed an unusual calmness at this moment.
"Brother, I think we should not get entangled with these people. We are here to find dad. If anything happens, it will not be good for us."
After listening to his sister's analysis, Chen Huanan felt that the other party's analysis was reasonable, so although he couldn't swallow this breath, he finally chose to leave with his sister.
After that, the brother and sister asked nearby passers-by. With the help of a passer-by, they finally found a pawn shop with a relatively high price, and that shop only used one gold bead to exchange for twenty taels of silver. Now, Judging from how he pawned all the way, it is obvious that this pawnshop is the most reliable, but the one in Yunhu Village is also good. After all, although the other party only gave him twelve taels of silver, he also provided a pawnshop for his companions. Without this, they didn't know whether they could pass smoothly along the way.
After getting the travel expenses, the two of them hired a car and set off to Fenhe County.
Fenhe County is not far from Anxi Prefecture. The two picked up an ox cart and then arrived at Fenhe County in less than half a day.
Fenhe County is only half the size of Anxi Prefecture
Big, even smaller than Leiyang City, but even so, finding someone is still like looking for a needle in a haystack.
The Chen family brother and sister could only continue to search for clues in the letter. However, no matter how many times the letter was burned with fire, the only key clues at the moment were those three icons, so the two could only continue to wander around Fenhe County aimlessly. .
The fifth sister of the Chen family walked around for a while, then finally couldn't hold it back anymore and just asked nearby passers-by, "Hello, where are the most lotus flowers?"
Hearing what the fifth sister of the Chen family said, the passerby only said in frustration, "Of course, the prefect He's house has the most lotus flowers. I heard that the prefect He is a fanatic who loves flowers. His house has a big garden full of lotus flowers." .”
Upon hearing this, before Chen Wumei could react, Chen Huanan had already pulled Chen Wumei and walked away quickly.
Chen Wumei couldn't help but said to Chen Huan'an, "Third brother, what are you doing?"
Chen Huanan only said excitedly, "I know! Dad must be at the home of Prefect He! He has been on good terms with Prefect He in the past. Many of the precious flower seeds cultivated in Prefect He's Lotus Garden were sent by my father. , and in addition, dad often takes me to Furong Garden. If I am not mistaken, dad should take refuge with this old friend. "
Upon hearing what Chen Huan'an said, Chen Wumei immediately said, "Third brother, let's go quickly!"
Chen Huanan said hello, and then the brother and sister immediately went to Furong Garden.
Prefect He's Furong Garden was built in the countryside close to mountains and rivers in order to bring fresh water to the entire house.
It is the scorching heat of June now, and the sun is scorching, so the Furong Garden, which is surrounded by mountains and rivers and filled with water in the courtyard, only shows an extraordinarily cool feeling.
Even before entering the inner room, the cool wind carried the fragrance of lotus flowers.
There were two guards guarding the Furong Garden. As soon as they saw Chen Huanan and Chen Wumei, they immediately reprimanded them, "It's a private residence. Don't let anyone else get close to you."
Regarding the guards' words, the two of them just said, "We are here to find someone."
"Who are you looking for?" the guard asked.
Chen Huan'an and Chen Wumei said in unison, "Look for Mr. He!"
"Who are you?" The guard asked cautiously after hearing this.
"My name is Chen Huanan! This is my sister Chen Wumei, and our father is Chen Shoubei."
Upon hearing the other party's name, the guard suddenly glanced at Chen Shoubei strangely. At the same time, he only said to them, "You guys wait outside first, I will go and pass the news first."
Chen Wumei and Chen Huanan only nodded in agreement.
After the brother and sister waited for a while, the guard came belatedly and said, "Our housekeeper will let you two in!"
After hearing each other's words, the two finally stepped into the Furong Garden.
Furong Garden is almost a land on the water. Almost all the carved buildings and paintings in the garden are built on the water. Apart from these pavilions, there are almost only lotus leaves and lotus flowers that connect the water and the sky.
Chen Huanan is almost used to all this. After all, he has been here often, and no matter how many things are added and changed, the basic appearance cannot be changed. However, Chen Wumei, who has not traveled far at the moment, is Looking around curiously.
The servant led the two brothers and sisters and quickly stopped in the side hall.
In the side hall, an old man over fifty years old with white beard and hair was scolding his servants. When he saw the two brothers and sisters arriving, the old man impatiently waved his hand to the people around him and said, "Okay, you can go down. , you have nothing to do here."
After hearing the old man's words, the servants who had just been scolded also quickly left.
After the old man drove away the servants, he cast his shrewd and sharp eyes on the two brothers and looked around.
Then he suddenly said, "Are you two the young masters of the defense family?"
Chen Huan'an nodded, and only took the initiative to call "Uncle Ye."
Chen Wumei also called out "Uncle Ye" softly.
After shouting, the old man nodded. Then he just asked the maid to rush over to pour tea and prepare some snacks.
Chen Huanan got straight to the point and said, "Uncle Ye, you know that I came here to see my father. I don't know.
Is my father in Furong Garden now? "
After listening to Chen Huanan's words, the housekeeper who was called Uncle Ye only whispered, "Your father did come to Furong Garden, but he is no longer in Furong Garden."
"Then where is he now?" Chen Huan'an immediately asked urgently.
After listening to Chen Huanan's words, Uncle Ye only said, "Your father has been hidden under Feng Junbao's arrangement. In order to avoid being found, your father will not see you now."
Hearing this, Chen Huanan asked in surprise, "Is he okay?"
Butler Ye nodded, "Of course that's good, but it's not convenient for your father to go out right now, so you have to consider your father's safety."
Chen Huanan only nodded when he heard this.
Then Butler Ye said again, "So you don't have to worry about your father. You just need to take care of yourselves now."
Chen Wumei, however, refused to give up and asked, "Uncle Ye, can we really not see our father?"
Butler Ye only nodded when he heard this, "Yes, and your father has arranged to go to a farther place. It's not that easy for you to see him now."
After listening to Butler Ye's words, Chen Huanan obviously still believed what Butler Ye said, so he only said to Butler Ye, "Steward Ye, my father will be taken care of by you. One of his arms is broken, and now he can move." I’m afraid and it’s very difficult, so I can’t do many things.”
Upon hearing what Chen Huan'an said, Manager Ye just smiled and said, "It's natural to take care of your father. Even if you don't say anything about it, we will take good care of Chen Shoubei."
