After hearing what her husband said, the woman gave him an angry look.
I regret marrying such a stupid person.
At this time, Kong Yueqing said: "Dad, you go and ask the servants at the homes of the old men of the He clan, or go and ask the police officers in the Yamen. The servants and police officers of these clan families may know something."
"Yes, why didn't I think of that?" Kong Yinfan suddenly realized, raised his hand and patted his forehead,
The woman said angrily: "Now that you know how to inquire, why don't you go quickly."
"Hey, I'll go right away." Kong Yinfan turned around and walked out.
But after walking a few steps, when he reached the door, he stepped back again.
The woman who saw this scene said dissatisfiedly: "Why are you back again? It's so difficult for you to do something. Let me tell you, my daughter may leave home at any time, and I don't have much time for you."
"I know, I know." Kong Yinfan nodded timidly in front of his mother-in-law, and then said, "I just go to the servants in my hometown and the police at the yamen door. I'm afraid they may not pay attention to me."
After saying that, he rubbed his hands back and forth uneasily.
The woman sighed and said, "Didn't I just get twenty taels of silver? You can use this money to invite people to drink. After drinking, it will be easy to inquire."
"Okay, okay, okay, I'll go right away." Kong Yinfan bent down and walked out of the door.
After the people left, the woman turned back to Kong Yueqing and said, "Your father will only do farm work in the fields in his life. It will be difficult for him to do other things."
"Mom, my daughter doesn't blame her father." Kong Yueqing held her mother's hand tightly.
Growing up at home, as a daughter, he knew very well who his father was.
Honest and honest, a little thoughtful, but ultimately an honest person.
"As long as you understand." The woman sighed softly.
After being married for so many years, my man has never wronged me, but when faced with the outside world, men tend to be cowardly and easy to be bullied.
When Kong Yinjing brought Xing Yun, who carried the tiger flag, to Kong Yinfan's home, many neighbors gathered around the yard.
As soon as Kong Yinjing and Xing Yun left, the neighbors who had nothing to watch also dispersed.
Only some small children were left playing in the mud at the door.
"Dad, what are you doing?" Kong Shangyun asked curiously when he saw his father going out.
He was past the age of playing with mud, so he stood outside the door and watched other younger children playing with mud to pass the time. At this time, his father came out and greeted him.
Kong Yinfan looked at his son and said, "My father has something to do and I have to go out. You, your mother and sister will have dinner together later, so you don't have to wait for me."
After saying that, he left his son and walked away.
The clan elders all lived in the city, and Kong Yinfan came all the way to the city on his own two legs.
As a descendant of the Kong family, he came to the city often. He brought his son here almost every year for the big festival, so he was quite familiar with the city.
After going around all the way, he came to the outside of Kong's mansion.
He was a little smart and knew that it was difficult to meet the servants in his hometown, so he went outside the Kong Mansion to wait for the police officers who usually came and went.
"Why is Mr. Kong here?"
While Kong Yinfan was waiting for others, a somewhat familiar voice came from behind.
Kong Yinfan hurriedly looked back.
Only then did he discover that it was the guard named Xing Yun who had come to his home with Kong Yinjing before.
"Master Kong, what's wrong with you? Don't you recognize me? I am Xing Yun, the guard of Dongzhu Liu's family." Xing Yun saw Kong Yinfan in a daze and thought he had forgotten himself.
Kong Yinfan came back to his senses and said quickly: "Remember, remember, you are the guard at my uncle's house, and you went to my house before."
"Yes, that's me." Xing Yun nodded with a smile, then glanced in the direction of the Kong Mansion and asked, "I see Master Kong, you have been here for a while. Are you waiting for someone?"
It was his men who saw Kong Yinfan outside the gate of Confucius' mansion, and he came over.
After all, the other party is the father of his future mistress. If the other party encounters any trouble, he is still willing to help.
"Don't call me Master Kong, I am not a master." Kong Yinfan looked embarrassed.
I'm embarrassed to say that I came to inquire about Datong and the other party's boss. Before I came, I didn't expect to bump into him outside the door of Kong's mansion.
Xing Yun saw that Kong Yinfan seemed to have something to hide, so he enthusiastically grabbed his wrist and said, "Now that we've caught up, Mr. Kong might as well come with me to have something to eat. I guess Mr. Kong hasn't eaten yet." !”
"No, no, I'll go home and eat later." Kong Yinfan waved his hand and refused.
Xing Yun said with a smile: "Miss Kong will be our wife in the future, and Master Kong will be our boss's father-in-law. It's already dinner time, and I, a servant, won't even let you eat. If my boss finds out, It’s inevitable that I’ll be blamed, so Mr. Kong, please help me.”
With that said, he took Kong Yinfan and left.
Kong Yinfan wanted to resist, but he was not as strong as Xing Yun, so he was dragged and dragged to a restaurant in the city.
"How about changing places!" Kong Yinfan felt sorry for the money in his arms.
In such a big restaurant, a meal costs at least a few taels of silver.
As for asking the other party to invite him, he had never thought about it.
Although the other party is just a guard in the future son-in-law's home, his daughter still needs the other party to take care of her on the way to Datong.
"It's okay, I'll treat you to Mr. Kong." Xing Yun called Mr. Kong enthusiastically.
With the military pay of the tiger-shaped flag, he still had enough money for a meal, not to mention that this was the father of the future mistress. It was appropriate to spend such a small amount of money to please the future mistress.
Kong Yinfan couldn't refuse, so he had to let the other party drag him into the restaurant.
"Please come in, guest officer!"
As soon as he came in, the restaurant waiter who greeted the guests hurriedly came forward to greet him.
Xing Yun glanced at the lobby on the first floor where few people were eating, and asked, "Is there a quieter private room?"
"Yes, yes, yes, there is a private room on the second floor. Please come with the younger ones." The waiter made an inviting gesture and then walked in front to lead the way.
Kong Yinfan touched the silver inside through his clothes with a bitter look on his face.
Originally I only wanted to spend one tael of silver for a meal, but now it's not enough without five taels of silver.
The boy quickly led the two people to the private room in his mouth.
The so-called private room is a separate dining room with a dining table placed in the room, making the environment more private.
The waiter wiped the table with the rag on his shoulder. After the two of them sat down, he asked: "What do you two gentlemen want to eat?"
"Pick a few of your specialty dishes and boil a pot of wine." Xing Yun had been to Kong Yinfan's home and knew that it was difficult for him to come to a place like a restaurant to eat, so he took the initiative to order the dishes so that Kong Yinfan wouldn't be confused. Difficult.
The waiter put the rag on his shoulder and sang: "Wait a moment, everyone, the food will be here soon."
After saying that, the guy exited the single room.
