As soon as Qian's mother heard that Xu Xun said that he met her eldest daughter on the road, she didn't care about what happened at Huguo Temple. She hurriedly recited Amitabha happily, and immediately turned sideways to welcome Xu Xun inside.
At this time, some people stepped forward to stop Xu Xun and Huitong because they were men, but when Mother Qian held her head high and said, "This is Uncle Pingbei, no one dared to stop them anymore." When Mother Qian led the way,
Arriving at the door of the Jingshe, Xu Xun suddenly stopped for a moment, then turned to Huitong and nodded slightly.
"Now that Uncle Pingbei has been sent to me, I can go back and pay my respects to Mr. Gu."
"Why don't you go back in a hurry? Judging from the appearance of the Huguo Temple, something big must have happened. Please reveal your identity and go see the host to see if there is anything you can do to help."
Of course Huitong knew that what Xu Xun wanted was the life of the man in the bamboo hat, so he bowed and agreed and immediately turned around and left. When he left, Qian's mother smiled apologetically and asked: "Uncle, this gentleman is..."
"It's Mr. Zhong who is in charge of the execution of Qianhu in Xichang."
Although my husband is a superb marquis, Qian's mother couldn't understand that in the previous case of bribery and shoddy military supplies, my husband was able to escape unscathed, but in the future, it is impossible to assume any real power. As for Xichang's
The person in charge of the execution of thousands of households is now a popular figure before the emperor. In terms of real power, he is much greater than the master, but he still has to show respect to the young Xu Xun in front of him. Thinking of this, she understood a little more about the dissatisfaction in the madam's heart.
However, he didn't ask any more questions and bowed to let Xu Xun into the monastery.
Because a young monk died inexplicably in the temple, and a man in a bamboo hat of unknown origin was seriously injured. Her daughter Zhang Jingxuan unexpectedly disappeared. Mrs. Shouning Hou was extremely anxious. She learned that she and Zhang Jingxuan were missing together.
There was Miss Fang, who was acquainted with Mrs. Zhu. She no longer cared about the etiquette, so she couldn't help but invite Mrs. Zhu over, and asked people to go outside to detain the people brought by Miss Fang.
"I just met her by chance. This is the second time we have met. Moreover, my wife had a quarrel with her earlier. Maybe it was just a coincidence that the two of them disappeared together. Madam, don't be so impatient. It is better to wait for the news."
Although Mrs. Shouninghou had noticed Mrs. Zhu's displeasure, she was more precious to her daughter than her son. How could she hold back her temper at this moment? She raised her eyebrows and said, "I only know that everyone who came today is
She is a member of an official family, but the temple cannot explain why she is named. For such an unknown person, my Jingxuan is missing. If I don’t look for her, who else can I look for..."
Before she could finish her words, the door curtain moved, but Mother Qian quickly entered the room. Mother Qian knelt down and said a blessing to Mrs. Zhu, and immediately came to Mrs. Shouninghou's side in three steps and then two steps.
He whispered: "Madam, I happened to bump into Uncle Pingbei outside. He said he met the eldest lady who sneaked out to visit the temple fair."
"ah"
Mrs. Hou Ninghou felt confused for a moment. She couldn't tell whether it was relief or shame and anger. She subconsciously left Mrs. Zhu and walked out quickly. Seeing this scene, Qian's mother knew that she had offended someone this time.
, but he could only explain to Madam Zhu that his eldest lady was missing. He smiled and hurriedly chased after his madam. Seeing that these two people were gone, in front of a room full of girls and servants from Shouning Hou Mansion, Zhu
A mother next to the lady had sharp ears and immediately sneered.
"To ask others to find out the whereabouts of my daughter, but the result is that there are so many girls and servants in my house, and I can't stand a young lady. It's the most ridiculous thing in the world."
"Okay." Although Mrs. Zhu was not without anger, she still gave her mother beside her a stern look, "This is a family matter of Shouning Hou Mansion and has nothing to do with us. What gossip did you, an outsider, say since everyone has found it?
We don’t need to stay here any longer. We can go out and say goodbye to Madam Shouning and then go home.”….
However, when Mrs. Zhu left this monastery, she found that the person talking to Mrs. Shouninghou in the courtyard was a young man of fifteen or sixteen years old, wearing a rain-stained sky-blue robe and black shoes. At first glance,
At first glance, it seemed that he was just an ordinary noble disciple, but after a second look, she noticed the calm and calm attitude. Mrs. Hou Ning, who was talking over there, also saw her and looked embarrassed.
At the same time, he also stepped forward and said with a smile: "Mrs. Li Ge, this is Uncle Pingbei."
Uncle Pingbei? Isn't he Xu Xun, who was just knighted for military merit not long ago?
Mrs. Zhu recalled that when she came back from Lingji Palace, she also mentioned such a figure to Li Dongyang. However, she never expected that in just over a year, an insignificant young man would become the most popular person in the imperial court.
The earl was astonished and couldn't help but look at it a few more times. Although today's nobles no longer looked down upon the old ministers in the early days of the founding of the People's Republic of China, when Xu Xun came up to greet him, she still returned the courtesy with a smile.
After a few words, she took the two mothers and left. However, Mrs. Shouning Hou was looking forward to her leaving, and immediately asked anxiously: "Since uncle met my Jingxuan on the road, he didn't take her with him."
return?"
Xu Xun was about to answer when there was a commotion outside. After a while, he saw two strong servants twisting a girl with disheveled hair in. Recognizing Ruyi at first sight, he saw her right cheek was red and swollen, and his face immediately darkened.
, immediately looked at Mrs. Shouning Hou and Mother Qian: "What's going on?"
Mother Qian screamed inwardly, and hurriedly glanced sideways at Madam Shouninghou. Madam Shouninghou suddenly felt a little embarrassed and could only force a smile and said: "The master of her family disappeared together with my Jingxuan."
, so I thought there might be some whereabouts, so I asked someone to ask her."
"It seems that I don't understand the sophistication of people in the capital nowadays. It turns out that this is called asking."
Hearing such harsh words coming out of Xu Xun's mouth, Qian's mother didn't even bother to look at Mrs. Shouning Hou's face. She hurriedly rushed forward and scolded her, waiting for the two stern women to let go.
After holding her hand, she turned around and smiled to explain something to Xu Xun. Unexpectedly, Xu Xun shouted to the disheveled girl behind her: "Ruyi, are you injured somewhere?"
Ruyi was waiting outside. Unexpectedly, the news of the leak came first. Not long after, the maid from Shouning Hou Mansion came over and asked who was Miss Fang's family. When she started to recognize her, she was like a wolf and a tiger.
He twisted her around. In front of Xu Xun, she felt that the arm that had been twisted just now was burning with pain. She could only grit her teeth and endure it, thinking that she could not admit that she and Xu Xun knew each other, but
Unexpectedly, after Xu Xun said something for him, he waved to her to ask about the injury. He was a little confused for a moment, but he automatically moved two steps forward.
Mrs. Hou Ninghou and Mother Qian never thought that Xu Xun would actually know the maid of the unknown girl, and they looked very ugly for a while. What made them even more unexpected was that Xu Xun invited Ruyi to come forward and asked
After saying a few words about the injury, she was about to lead people out. At this time, Mrs. Shouninghou, whose daughter was still missing, became anxious. She quickly stepped in front of Xu Xun and said, "Uncle, you didn't tell me yet.
Where is my Jingxuan now?"
"Madam, if you really want to know, pack up a car and take two less people with you, and come with me."
Seeing Xu Xun coldly saying these words and taking Ruyi out of the house, Mrs. Shouninghou's face turned blue and white, but in the end, her distressed daughter got the upper hand and ordered another mother to prepare a car outside.
So my mother took the money and hurried to chase Xu Xun.
Xu Xun and Ruyi walked out one after another. Not far away, he heard a low voice from behind: "Seventh Young Master, it's because I'm not smart enough..."...
"It's none of your business, it was my fault."
Hearing Ruyi's habitual use of the old title, Xu Xun turned around and saw that Ruyi's right cheek was still swollen and her eyes were red. He smiled with self-consciousness, "I am a person who does things most of the time.
Forging ahead, I gambled as long as I had more than half hope. I was hesitant about Yue'er's matter, and I had to go around in a big circle and use this roundabout way to this day. I just admitted that she would not be able to jump into the river and reunite with me. So what, I had
I’m not afraid of hypocrites like Zhao Qin. Now that the emperor already knows about this, I’m still afraid of people gossiping?”
Ruyi only felt surprised and happy, and her eyes suddenly looked bright: "Seventh Young Master, you are saying..."
"This matter should be settled"
If Shen Yue hadn't saved Zhang Jingxuan by a narrow margin, Xu Xun would not have said these words, but at this moment, he was really angry - not only against Mrs. Shouning Hou, but also against himself.
When he arrived at the mountain gate, he saw Huitong already waiting there, so he asked directly: "How is that daring guy doing now?"
"Hey, the Shen girl is really ruthless. Even if she doesn't die, she will have to be a eunuch for the rest of her life." Huitong shrugged, without any sympathy for the guy, and then asked, "The next step is to take the person into custody."
Going back to West Factory, or..."
"I will take Mrs. Shouning Hou to meet her precious daughter later. You can find a carriage and take him with you."
"So..." Huitong suddenly understood Xu Xun's plan. Although he was surprised, it was more to his liking to be straightforward. He immediately smiled and said, "It should have been like this a long time ago... In this case, I will
Go take that guy”
Although such a person should be handed over to the Shuntian government office or the Xicheng Military and Horse Division of Wanping County government office, Huitong showed his sign of Xichang, whether he was hosting it, Luo Qing was holding the Dharma meeting today, or he was even present.
None of the official family members said a single word "no". But when Mrs. Zhu heard that Xu Xun had taken away the maid named Fang who was ordered by Mrs. Shouninghou to fetch her, Mrs. Zhu couldn't help but be very surprised.
After pondering for a while, he looked at the mother who reported the incident and asked, "Are you sure that Uncle Pingbei knows that maid?"
"Yes, he directly called out the maid's name. I think she must have known her."
Thinking of the previous encounter with Fang Yue in Lingji Palace, Mrs. Zhu couldn't help but frown into a big knot. If the two were not related, Xu Xun would definitely not know her girl; but if the two were related, then
At that time, Xu Xun's footing was not stable, and he could be said to have people talk about him, Mrs. Li Ge. Now, Xu Xun has no need to beg her and Mrs. Shouning Hou. Why did Miss Fang appear again today?
