Chapter 228 The son of the magistrate's family is lost
Suxue glanced at Sisheng.
Today, Si Sheng just wants to be a driver with all his heart, pulling the reins of the mule cart, with an expression of staying out of it.
Seeing him like this, Suxue smiled and said, "Mother Shi, we are here today to deliver bean sprouts."
Wang Zeran and Zhang Fu had already taken the bean sprouts out of the car and put them on the shaft of the car.
Grandma Shi waved to the person behind her to pick her up. She smiled at Suxue and said, "Giving bean sprouts won't stop you from playing with my young masters."
Suxue changed the subject and said, "I originally wanted to talk to Aunt Jia, but I didn't expect that she wouldn't be at home early in the morning."
As soon as Grandma Shi was about to answer the call, she saw a girl coming and standing at the door of the courtyard about ten steps away and said: "Mother Shi, I have told you to receive the bean sprouts and send half of them to the pavilion chief's house immediately.
I want to give the county magistrate’s wife some fresh vegetables.”
Upon hearing the words "county magistrate's wife", Suxue quickly exchanged a look with Si Sheng.
Grandma Shi bent down to the girl and said: "I know, we will send it over right away. My girl, why did you ask me to deliver the message today? You just call an old woman to tell her."
The girl didn't pay attention to Granny Shi's flattering words, turned around and left after passing the words on.
Grandma Shi didn't feel embarrassed. She turned to Suxue and said proudly: "Our wife is at the pavilion chief's house to accompany the official's wife, but we don't have time to come back. You won't be able to see her today."
Suxue suddenly showed regret and said regretfully: "What a coincidence, I have lost another chance to meet Aunt Jia."
After saying that, he hugged Mother Shi's arm and said affectionately: "Mother Shi, since we can't see Aunt Jia today, there's nothing important to do at the moment. Why don't I help you put the bean sprouts?"
Send it to the pavilion chief's house, and it will save you the time and effort to set up the car."
Today, all the more respectable girls from the Jia family went out in the car with Mrs. Jia. Aunt Shi was worried about not having a car to go with her to deliver the goods. Since Suxue took the initiative, she might as well take this ride.
Grandma Shi smiled and said: "That's fine, then I'd like to thank Miss Suxue."
Grandma Shi paid the bill, moved half of the bean sprouts back to Si Sheng's mule cart, and ordered a little girl to go with her to deliver them to the pavilion chief's house in person.
Upon seeing this, Zhang Fu and Wang Zeran took the initiative to go and sit on the shaft of the car outside with Si Sheng, and let the car out.
Suxue helped Grandma Shi climb onto the mule cart, and then she and the little girl climbed up and sat next to Grandma Shi.
Seeing that everyone was seated, Si Sheng whipped his whip and drove the mule cart quickly out of the gate of Jia's mansion. When the cart was on the street, he pulled the reins again and walked slowly to the pavilion chief's house.
Suxue naturally started chatting with Mother Shi in the car, "Master Mingguang in our town is really a good man. His reputation has spread far and wide. Even the county magistrate's wife came to listen to his sermons."
."
Grandma Shi followed Suxue's words and said with a smile: "Isn't that right? This is the glory of our town."
Suxue said with an extremely envious expression: "The county magistrate's wife is the biggest official wife in our county. How can ordinary people meet her? Aunt Jia is also very capable, so she has the opportunity to meet such a noble person."
Grandma Shi laughed, "Ordinary people can't see the county magistrate's wife, but our lady can see her anytime she wants."
Suxue immediately narrowed her starry eyes in admiration, "Really?"
"Of course it's true. Our Jia family are well-known squires in the county. When every county magistrate's wife arrives, Mrs. Jia is the first person to visit. Every county magistrate's wife will be on good terms with our wife, especially
The wife of Magistrate Ruan and our wife get along like real sisters, so good that we almost cannot live without her. As soon as our wife left yesterday, Mrs. Ruan sent someone to call her."
Suxue nodded. No wonder Mrs. Jia came and went in a hurry yesterday. It turned out that she was accompanying the county magistrate's wife.
Suxue couldn't help but frown. If the Jia family and the Ruan County magistrate's family were so close, could the child abduction be reported to the county magistrate?
Suxue was thinking in her heart, but she didn't show any signs of it. She suddenly realized: "No wonder Mr. Jia and the two brothers are playing in the street by themselves. It turns out that Ms. Jia is accompanying the distinguished guests."
After Suxue mentioned it, Grandma Shi remembered that Suxue was the savior of her young master, so she said: "Isn't that right? Fortunately, the lady didn't bring the two young masters there, otherwise they might have been lost too.
."
Suxue raised her eyebrows and said, "Mom is exaggerating. Children from wealthy families are always escorted by Mammy's girls. Even if the two young masters of the Jia family go there, they won't be lost."
"This is no exaggeration. No matter how many people follow, the county magistrate's son will still be lost. If it hadn't been for this, how could our wife have gone to accompany the county magistrate's wife so early in the morning?"
What? The county magistrate’s son is missing?
Suxue's heart beat wildly. Among the two boys she saw yesterday, was one of them the county magistrate's son?
Seeing that Suxue was so frightened that the expression on her face was changing, Granny Shi realized that she had made a mistake and quickly added: "The county magistrate may have lost his way. We don't know the truth after all."
Suxue hurriedly calmed down her emotions and said calmly: "That's right. The county magistrate is not familiar with the place and the place. It is possible that he mistakenly identifies the place for a while. There are so many servants, and they may have been found by now."
Already."
Mother Shi breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Yes, yes, I'm afraid that the child got lost."
The pavilion chief's house was on Qian Street in the town. No matter how slowly Si Sheng drove the mule cart, he had already arrived at the place.
The county magistrate's wife stayed at the pavilion chief's house. Suxue thought there would be many visitors. Although it was not an endless stream, there should be a lot of people coming in and out. But the reality is: the front of the pavilion chief's house was very deserted, except for the people standing at the door.
Apart from the two men with knives, no one else could be seen.
Even the people passing by at the door walked around at a distance, pulling each other and whispering to each other from time to time, all with expressions of awe and curiosity.
Mother Shi had never seen this battle before. When she saw the sabers on the waists of the majestic policemen, she was so frightened that her whole body tensed up and she didn't dare to step forward.
Although the guards of the Jia Mansion looked fierce, they did not dare to mess around with their own servants. Besides, the guards of the Jia Mansion were armed with sticks and rarely had swords.
Suxue saw that the little girl who followed Granny Shi out was confused and just looking at the news through the car window. She quickly jumped out of the car and helped Granny Shi to walk to the door of the pavilion director's house.
The police officer guarding the door was indeed selfless. He stretched out his hand to stop Nanny Shi and refused to let her in no matter what.
The porter of the pavilion chief's house hurriedly called a woman out. After hearing Granny Shi explain her purpose, the woman called someone over and carried the bean sprouts on the mule cart in.
After collecting the bean sprouts, the old woman did not go back immediately. She stood by the mule cart and talked to Grandma Shi. It turned out that the old woman and Grandma Shi were old acquaintances.
"Old sister, please don't go out. It's not that I don't know etiquette. It's really a special situation now. The house is very busy and there are many people talking, so I can't entertain you in there."
Grandma Shi smiled and said, "It's okay, it's okay. I know the county magistrate's wife is at your house. She must be very busy." Then she said, "I quite envy you, sister. You are someone who can serve in front of the magistrate's wife."
Well, it’s much more respectable than us.”
The mother-in-law was so happy that she was complimented by Granny Shi that she said humbly: "You can see it, but the county magistrate's wife was in a bad mood and couldn't say a few words."
