The maid stood still and rubbed her hands. With a smile on his face.
Lian'er knew what she meant, so she took out two pieces of silver from her purse and handed them over, "Take it, it's cold, buy some fruit to eat. If you have any news next time, come back and I'll give you some snacks."
Everyone in the mansion knows that the food at Hongxia Pavilion is good, and even the snacks are much more delicious, so they can forgive me enough.
Busy smiled and responded.
Seeing the little maid running away with a smile, Lian'er hurriedly turned back to the house and told everything she heard.
Wei Jingwei soaked her hands in hot water full of petals. The petals were dried flowers that had been left to dry in the morning. Now her son came in handy.
When winter comes, her hands get extremely cold and she needs to soak them frequently to feel comfortable.
"Zhang Ruoruo is becoming more and more unscrupulous."
While Lian'er was helping the young lady scrub her, she nodded and said, "No, I think so too."
There are no rules at all in this mansion.
But she didn't dare to say this openly.
Wei Jingwei thought for a moment and suddenly laughed, "Do you think this Ruoruo came to Beijing with Mei Yuanqing privately, or did her family agree? Do you know now that she has such a good life?" After a pause. , she shook her head, "I think according to her temperament, she will definitely not make it public. Zhang Ruoruo didn't say that she picked up my mother to live a good life, so we can kindly inform her."
"Why are you so sure, Miss? If you can live a good life as a slave, you will definitely take my mother with you." Lian'er looked confused.
Wei Jingwei smiled and did not explain.
The next day, he ordered Zhang San and others to prepare the carriage and transportation, and then went to Zhang Ruoruo's hometown.
Ma San and others were not familiar with the road, but they had been around in the martial arts world before, so they found out easily. They chose the nearest road and hurried there day and night.
When I was tired at night, I spent the whole night in an inn on the street, and then continued on my way at dawn.
It rained all night last night, and the road became a little difficult to walk the next day.
There was slippery mud everywhere, and the horses' hooves were slippery when they stepped on it. Several times, people almost fell off their horses.
Ma San was afraid that something would happen if things continued like this, so he could only find a nearby place for the two people following him to rest together.
Anyway, he inquired all the way and found out that Fengyang County was not far away.
After walking for a while, I saw a wonton stall on the side of the road. The weather was not beautiful today, so there were only a few people eating there.
When the boss saw them, he came forward very enthusiastically.
"Why don't you guys want to eat wontons? The wontons I make have thin skin and big fillings. I guarantee that you will be satisfied." The boss is a middle-aged man, not short. Looking at it from his angle, you can vaguely see that the boss is somewhat bald. ....
He coughed twice, looked away, ordered three large bowls of wontons, then sat down and asked loudly: "Boss, there is Fengyang County near here. How far is it?"
Ma San spoke politely and bought three more bowls of wontons. The boss kept putting the wontons into the pot and talking nonchalantly.
"Fengyang County, you have asked the right person about this. I am from Fengyang County. Where I grew up, there is nothing I don't know."
Ma Sanxun thought, yes, he found the right person.
He rolled his eyes and said, "I'm here to see my relatives. I've made some money from traveling around the world over the years, so I thought I'd come to see my aunt and uncle, so I could honor them."
Upon hearing that Ma San is a filial person, the boss's tone became much better. After all, who doesn't like filial young people?
"When I looked at you just now, I knew you were a gangster. This horse riding style is not an embroidered pillow. Tell me, what are your aunt and uncle's names?" The boss turned around and said with a smile.
Ma San gave the wonton money and gave the boss a few more big bucks, which made the smile on the boss's face more sincere.
I thought in my heart that this person is a righteous person, and he will be feared in the future.
"Uncle, my mother married far away and hasn't been back for a long time. I only know that my aunt and uncle's family name is Zhang." Ma San changed his name in a short time, and the boss was very happy with it.
He frowned and thought for a while, then suddenly said loudly: "There are only two families in the county named Zhang, both in the countryside. Which family are you looking for?"
Ma Sanxun thought that this was not easy to handle.
After pondering for a moment, he replied, "My aunt and uncle have a daughter, I think her name is Ruoruo. Yes, Zhang Ruoruo."
The boss's face suddenly became weird, "Are you sure your name is Zhang Ruoruo?"
"That's right."
He showed a gossipy look, leaned closer and whispered, "This family has a long story. Your aunt and uncle's family has been in bad luck. There was a famine some time ago, and many people were sick." At this point, he said After a pause, he glanced at Ma San with some pity, "Unfortunately, they both died of illness together, leaving only a daughter."
Ma San pretended to be sad and asked, "What about my sister? Uncle, do you know where she went?"
"I don't know about this. It's strange to say that after her parents passed away, because she was still young and always needed someone to rely on, she went to live with her uncle's house. As a result, after living there for a few years, she suddenly The person just disappeared.”
"Her uncle's family searched everywhere, but they couldn't find anyone. Many people said something was wrong. After all, the daughter of the Zhang family was one of the best in beauty. A squire wanted to take her back as a concubine. , her uncle's family originally agreed, but as soon as the girl disappeared, the matter fell apart. Otherwise, it would have been a meteoric rise."
Ma San lowered his head. He used to be a gangster, so he naturally knew that her uncle's family wanted to sell her to a squire's family. It was probably because Zhang Ruoruo was unwilling or something, so he ran away with Mei Yuanqing.
He stood up and thanked the boss, and then asked the boss for the address of Zhang Ruoruo's uncle's home, saying that he wanted to thank him for taking care of his sister.
The boss quickly stopped him and sighed, "Young man, I advise you not to go."
"Why, uncle."
The boss sighed and waved his hand, "You call me uncle, and I can't hurt you. This girl's uncle's family is a famous lazy man. They are lazy and lazy all day long, and they even follow a local gangster. The gangsters aren’t bad either.”
Ma San was surprised, "So serious."
"No, Ms. Zhang's uncle and his son are not good people. If the girl is a little more tidy, she will be malicious to others, so don't mention it." The boss looked very disgusted when he mentioned them.
Ma San felt that he would be able to do a very good job on this errand.
The young lady wanted to teach Zhang Ruoruo a lesson. Evil people need evil people to punish them. It is most useless to talk to such people about benevolence, justice and goodness.
