Song female man

Xie Yi and his wife were very happy to see their youngest daughter come back, and they were even more happy to see that Shitou brought so many gifts such as medicine and tea bought by his son-in-law.

Shito delivered the things, took a few sips of tea and left.

Xie Erniang saw that her father's head was still wrapped in a bandage, and he needed a cane when he got out of bed, so she knew that her father would have to take care of him for a few months before he could return to normal.So she asked Shunniang what she wanted to ask herself, that is, if the family's money is tight, it seems that it will take a few months for her father's injury to heal.

Wu said: "It can last for two more months. Tell your son-in-law not to worry. But you, don't go back to your mother's house in the future. Although Bianliang City is not far from Yangliu Town, it takes an hour by car. Now you are pregnant. , bumping back and forth for fear of being unstable. In two months, I will come to the city to visit you and get money along the way."

Xie Erniang nodded, and then asked: "Mother, who owns that butcher's shop in the next wall? Why have I never seen those people before?"

Mrs. Wu told her daughter that she didn't know the people in the butcher shop. The butcher shop opened a few days after Liang's family sold the house. He invited it from elsewhere.After the opening of this butcher shop, the price of meat sold is cheaper than other butchers in the town, so people in the whole Yangliu Town like to buy meat from this butcher shop.

Hearing what my mother said, Xie Erniang was a little worried, that is, her father's injury will heal in a few months, and Xie's butcher shop will resume slaughtering pigs and selling meat, will the business be able to go away?

In front of her parents, she directly expressed her worries when she thought of this.

After hearing this, Wu and Xie Yi were silent. In fact, the two couples felt threatened immediately after the Ma's Butcher shop next door opened. That is to say, with this Ma's Butcher's shop, the business of Xie's Butcher's shop will definitely not be as good after it resumes business. before.Even if you want to sell the business, you have to lower the price like the Ma's butcher shop, so that you will make less money and life will no longer be as comfortable as before.No matter who is in business, they don't want their business to be worse than before and make less and less money.

Seeing her father and mother were silent, Xie Erniang's mood also fell.

However, she soon persuaded them not to think so much, let her father recover from the injury, and said that Shunniang's business in the city is doing well, even if they don't do anything, Shunniang's son-in-law will not care Their.

Xie Yi and his wife knew that such words were just to ease their hearts.

After all, the son-in-law has no reason to support his father-in-law and mother-in-law, not to mention that the two couples have a young son, and they still have to earn a family business for the young son. This is not a business.

Therefore, Xie Yi said: "Er Niang, don't worry about me and your mother. After I get well, the butcher's business will start again. Even if there is a Ma family competing with us for business in the next wall, it will not be impossible to make money. , at least make some money. You, live a good life with your son-in-law in the city."

Mrs. Wu also hurriedly answered: "That's right, you still have to raise a good baby. It's just right to give birth to a young man for you. You can gain a firm foothold in Xi's family and live a good life so that your father and I can feel at ease. You Don't worry, the hurdle our family is facing can pass."

When it came to the matter of having a baby, Xie Erniang was also worried, because she decided to confess to Shunniang when she went back this trip, if Shunniang cared about the dirty things done by her parents and started a fight with herself, the child's affairs would be messed up.If it is said that her parents have encountered a hurdle now, then why not herself.

Xie Yi and his wife originally wanted to confess to Shunniang on behalf of their daughter, but in this situation, they really have no confidence.

In the foreseeable future, Xie Yi's injury will be healed, and the butcher business will resume, and the money won't be as good as before. If his daughter breaks up with Xi Er because of the dirty things they did, and even goes home with Li, what will they get? Come to raise a daughter who is away from home, and the child in her belly.

Whether it was Xie Erniang, or Xie Yi and his wife, they didn't express their worries to each other, but they didn't want to increase the pressure on each other.

Even Xie Yi and his wife didn't tell Xie Erniang what Xie Yi remembered after waking up.On the night of the injury, although he was drunk, he felt that someone kicked his legs from behind, and at the same time his head was hit by something, so he fell into the roadside ditch and passed out.In other words, it was not an accident that he broke his leg and fell into a coma that night, but someone did it on purpose.However, who was the person who caused Xie Yi to be seriously injured, Xie Yi didn't see it, and couldn't guess it.He also didn't sue the officials, asking the authorities to arrest the murderer, because firstly, there was no evidence, it was just speculation, and secondly, he himself didn't like dealing with the government.

Xie Erniang stayed at her mother's house for three days, talking with her parents, cooking with her mother, making medicine for her father, and chatting with the elder sister who came over here.

Three days passed quickly, and on the tenth day of February, Shitou got up early in the morning and drove the donkey cart to Yangliu Town to pick up Xie Erniang back to the city as agreed before.

Xie Erniang took some local products given by her parents and got into the donkey cart and returned to Bianliang City.

In the car, Xie Erniang asked Shitou what Shunniang had been doing since she was not at home these days.

This was just a casual question, but Shitou told her that he followed his boss to watch a drama in Wazi yesterday, and he was invited by someone else, and his boss took him to watch it.

"Who is the treat? Your boss is so busy and you still go to the theater?" Xie Erniang asked curiously.

Shitou: "It's the owner of Wei's main store. He invited guests to be the host, and the owner followed him. He had a good meal and watched a good show."

Xie Erniang: "A good show? Tell me, what is it?"

She is also a fan of theater, since she moved to the city, she has been there for ten days and a half months, whenever she is free, she likes to invite her sister-in-law and others to Wazi to watch vaudeville shows and listen to storytellers.She knew all the usual plays, so she asked Shi Shi what kind of play it was.

Shitou thought for a while and told her that yesterday he watched a new play with his hostess, about how a butcher's daughter conspired with her parents to ruin the marriage of a female hostess, and replaced her by himself.Then, in the end, the gods and Buddhas in the sky took pity on the female boss, and presented the despicable things that the butcher's daughter did with her parents in front of the deceived man in a phantom, so that the man finally understood what was going on around him. The lady is a femme fatale, so she finally divorced her and stayed with the mistress.

This kind of play about karma is often loved by the playwrights in Wazi, and ordinary people also like to watch it. There are many such plays.

After Xie Erniang heard this, her face turned pale.

Because this play is almost made up according to her and her parents. The content is similar to the story that Sister Song Yu told Shun Niang before, but it is more clear.If Shunniang couldn't think of anything after watching this play, she would be too stupid.

With the previous story and the scene this time, Niang Shun should think of herself and her parents, and she should be suspicious...

Xie Erniang only felt a heart in her chest was about to pop out, she pressed her chest hard, took a deep breath, and wanted to ask Shi Shi Shunniang what kind of expression she had after watching the play, was she ever angry or depressed?

But she was so flustered that she couldn't even utter a quick word, she just wanted to go back quickly and explain to Shun Niang.

So what she said was, let the stone drive the car faster, and she wants to go home faster.

Shitou agreed, and drove the car fast with a whip. He thought that the lady of the host family had been separated from the host family for three days, and wanted to go back quickly, because the two husband and wife were reunited.

However, God seems to be against Xie Erniang. When Shitou drove the car through a bend with hills on both sides, Shitou suddenly found a few big logs blocking the way.Next to the big log is an ox cart pulling wood. There are still a few big logs on the bullock cart. Two people are standing under the cart, struggling to lift the log that has fallen off the cart and blocked the road.

When Shi Shi saw this, he said to Xie Erniang that he was going to help those two people lift the logs that fell off the ox cart into the cart, so that they could pass through here and go back to Bianliang City quickly.

"Go quickly." Xie Erniang waved after hearing this.

Stone jumped out of the car and ran over to the two log movers, saying that he could help, and moved the logs that had fallen to the ground to the car again.

Of course, those two people wished for someone to come and help, so the three of them worked together to move the logs one by one onto the bullock cart.

After moving, the two thanked Shishi, got into the ox cart, and drove the ox cart away.

Shitou went back immediately, jumped into the car, and said to the car: "Ma'am, I'm back. The logs in front have been removed. Let's go back to the city."

After speaking, he waved his whip and drove the donkey cart back on the road. However, after driving a section of the road, he suddenly found that since he got into the cart and talked into the carriage, the wife of his host hadn't said a word, which was a bit strange.

Thinking of this, he yelled into the car again: "Ma'am?"

There was still no movement in the carriage.

Shi Shi reined in the donkey, jumped out of the cart, and walked over to lift the curtain to look inside.

After looking at it, I couldn't help being surprised, because there was no one in the car!

He suspected that there was something wrong with his eyes, so he wiped them vigorously, and then looked inside, only to find that there was no one inside, and the lady of the host family seemed to have disappeared out of thin air.

Shitou was in such a hurry, he wondered if he had thrown his hostess at the bend where he was helping someone lift the log just now, maybe when he was helping someone lift the log, the hostess got out of the car and went to the side of the road for convenience.So he hurriedly turned the donkey cart and went back to find someone.

After a while, he drove the car to the corner, stopped the car, got out of the car and shouted for someone, but the only response to him was the lonely sound of weeds and leaves rubbing against each other in the wild field by the roadside.

This time, Shitou cried anxiously, he lost his wife, can he stop crying?

But crying was useless, since he couldn't find his host's wife, he had to go back and report the news to his host, and crying here was not enough to delay the time.

So, Shitou hurriedly got back into the donkey cart, waved his whip and drove the donkey cart to Bianliang City. Half an hour later, the donkey cart stopped in front of Xi's house on Zaoshu Street.Shitou jumped out of the car and ran towards the yard. He ran to the door of the inner courtyard and knocked vigorously on the door.

Mrs. Qi who came to open the door for him, as soon as she opened the door, Shishi ran in and ran straight to the main room, Mrs. Qi couldn't help but scream from behind.

Shi Shi ran into the main room and shouted, "Master! Something happened!"

When Shunniang heard this, she came down from upstairs and asked him what happened, looking behind him while asking.

Shitou cried and told her that his wife had disappeared and he had lost Xie Erniang.

"What?" Shunniang was taken aback when she heard that, and asked him what was going on.

Stone told Shunniang about the fallen log that blocked the road just now, how he went to help, how he found that Xie Erniang was missing after helping, and how he went to find him, and finally said: "The young one couldn't find the host's wife, so...he came back and sued the host..."

After Shunniang heard it, she went out without saying a word. She didn't go to see the inside of the donkey cart, but she couldn't believe it. Her wife disappeared on the road.

She walked quickly to the donkey cart at the gate of the house, stretched out her hand and opened the curtain to look in, and she saw that there was no one in the cart.

And there are two baskets of souvenirs beside the car seat.

Suddenly she saw a piece of paper with writing on one of the baskets of souvenirs. The paper was stuffed in the basket, and she couldn't see it unless she looked carefully.

Shunniang went to the car, picked up the piece of paper stuffed into the basket and unfolded it, only to see a sentence written on it: My yamen invited the lady to play for three days, and she will return it after three days.

Seeing this sentence, Shunniang immediately understood that it was not the stone that lost the lady, but that the lady was kidnapped by that dandy Bai Jinyi's men in the middle of the journey.Apart from Bai Jinyi, Shunniang couldn't think of anyone who would take someone abducted.It's just that in broad daylight, abducting a woman from a good family and leaving a note saying that she will return her in three days is too deceiving.

At this time, Shitou also ran out, stood under the car and asked Shunniang what to do, whether to sue the officials quickly, or take some people to find someone.

Shunniang frowned, folded the piece of written paper and stuffed it into her sleeve, and said, "Let's go to Renyi Street!"

Shitou didn't dare to ask Shunniang why he was going to Renyi Street, but jumped into the car in a hurry, and drove the car to Renyi Street according to Shunniang's instructions.

Shunniang thought in the car, if Bai Jinyi really did this, it would be best to go to Feng Zhen.The last time, she saved the lady from Bai Jinyi's hands. Since her father is the immediate boss of Bai Jinyi's father, it is most appropriate for Feng Zhen to come forward to rescue the lady.After all, if I, an ordinary commoner, sued the officials and involved the Bai family, many yamen might not accept it. Even if Bao Zheng came forward, it would be a problem.In addition, even if she took someone to save the lady, she didn't know where Bai Jinyi lived and how to save him.

Although she was not interested in Feng Zhen and was hostile, she couldn't care about that at the moment.

She remembered that Xie Erniang once said that Feng Zhen lived in the sixth house on Renyi Street, the one with a jujube tree in front of the door.

"Go to the sixth house on Renyi Street, stop at the mansion with a jujube tree in front of the door." She ordered.

"Yes, Master." Shitou drove the car fast with a whip.

Half an hour later, the donkey cart driven by Shitou stopped at the gate of Feng's residence, Shunniang jumped out of the cart, and went directly to the door to find someone to report.

The young man at the door instructed her to go to the West Corner Gate to find someone to pass the message, and Shunniang ran to the West Corner Gate, found the young man guarding the gate, reported herself, and stuffed money, and the young man agreed to pass the message for her.About a quarter of an hour later, Feng Zhen came out to meet her.

After seeing Shunniang, Feng Zhen asked her what was the matter, and where was her wife.

Shunniang took out the piece of paper from her sleeve, handed it to Feng Zhen, and told her why she came.

Feng Zhen looked at the piece of paper that Shunniang handed her that said Xie Erniang was asked to go play for a few days and return it in three days, and after hearing what Shunniang said, she was very angry.To say that Bai Jinyi is too daring, to do such an act in broad daylight is simply lawless.

She asked Shunniang to wait, and she went in and changed her clothes and came out to take Shunniang to find VIP Bai Jinyi.

Of course, Shunniang expressed her gratitude to Feng Zhenken for her help. Feng Zhen waved her hand and said that she and Erniang Xie were good friends.

After finishing speaking, she ran in, and after a while, she came out in men's clothes, followed by a follower, leading two horses.

After Feng Zhen and her entourage Chen Liulang got on the horse, she asked Shun Niang to follow, and then went to the White Mansion to find the important person Bai Jinyi.

A group of people hurried to an alley near Ma Xing Street. In front of a big house, Feng Zhen jumped off the horse, walked over and asked the boy at the door to come in and pass the message that she wanted to see Bai Jinyi.The boy at the door asked who she was, and after she reported her identity, the boy guarding the door rushed in to report the letter.

It just so happened that Bai Jinyi was still sleeping and did not go out because he gambled all night yesterday. After being woken up by the servant next to him, he lost his temper. He didn't wake up until the servant told him that Feng Zhen had come to look for him. Son.Originally, she wanted to see the domineering daughter of her immediate boss, but the boy who heard the report said that Feng Zhen looked angry, and she felt uneasy in her heart.So he dawdled, got up and put on his clothes, washed his face indiscriminately, and asked the maid beside him to comb his hair and put it in a bun, and then followed the servant who came to report the news to the cook to see Feng Zhen.

"Bai Jinyi, quickly release Mrs. Xie!" Seeing Bai Jinyi, Feng Zhen stepped forward and grabbed his collar and shouted angrily.

Bai Jinyi was dozed off, and yawned all the way, but Feng Zhen shook and roared like this, and he was jolted up, his mind was completely clear, and he said anxiously: "Let go, let go! Thank you, my lady! do not know!"

Feng Zhen frowned, and said in a cold voice: "Don't pretend to be stupid. That day at Daxiangguo Temple, you hijacked that lady in the middle of the way to thank her. You sent people to take her away today, and you still pretended to be stupid." Say you don't know?"

"Oh...it's her?" Bai Jinyi blinked and thought for a while, and finally remembered, but then he said angrily, "Feng Erniang, what nonsense are you talking about, when did I send someone to take her away? None of the servants under my command left the mansion today, you are a bastard who lied to you!"

After hearing Bai Jinyi's words, Feng Zhen hesitated, and asked, "You really didn't do it?"

Bai Jinyi pouted his neck and said: "I did it, I dare not admit it, didn't I tell you, I will do it, I will be a tortoise, my father will be an old tortoise, and I will be a tortoise when I have a baby Egg!"

Shunniang heard it not far away, so she walked over and unfolded the paper she was holding in her hand, showed it to Bai Jinyi, and said, "Don't deny it, it is written in black and white that you sent someone to kidnap my wife."

Bai Jinyi looked at it and shook his head and said: "This is not my handwriting. Most of my subordinates can't even read a few words, let alone write it. They can't write this handwriting. Besides, in this Tokyo city There are eight thousand in the yamen if there is no ten thousand, and this yamen is written on this paper, and there is no name, so you just say it’s me, isn’t that too arbitrary?”

When he said this, Feng Zhen and Shunniang were stumped, because obviously, what Bai Jinyi said was reasonable, and they really couldn't just rely on this piece of paper to conclude that Xie Erniang was kidnapped by Bai Jinyi's men Yes, even though he is highly suspected.

Feng Zhen slowly let go of Bai Jinyi's collar, stared at Bai Jinyi suspiciously, and said, "How dare you swear to God, you didn't do this?"

Bai Jinyi broke free from Feng Zhen's grasp, and while straightening his clothes, he said, "Dare you in this yamen! If I send someone to kidnap Mrs. Xie, I will tell my Bai family to have no sons or grandchildren!"

Both Feng Zhen and Shun Niang knew that this Bai Jinyi was the single heir of the third generation of the Bai family. He dared to swear such an oath, and he was basically sure that he did not do this.

After Bai Jinyi finished his oath, seeing that Feng Zhen and Shun Niang had stopped talking, he said to himself: "Don't talk about it, I really want to know which son of a bitch dared to steal a beauty in my name." Son. I said, Erniang Feng, would you like me to help you find some people to investigate this matter? My father has the most elite scouts in the Imperial Army under his command. If I help you find out, don’t be so angry when you see me in the future Yes, let me tell you, you are also a daughter, why do you pretend to be more fierce than a man..."

"Shut up! You're not finished yet!" Feng Zhen looked at him and said angrily, disgusted with his nagging.

But looking back, she felt that what Bai Jinyi said was not completely unreasonable, at least the most elite detective scouts in the Imperial Army he said were indeed under the supervision of his father, and these people had the ability to detect the captives in the wild The clues left by people.If it is true, as Xie Erniang's officials said, Xie Erniang was robbed at the bend on the way back to Bianliang City from Yangliu Town.

Just when Bai Jinyi was yelled at by Feng Zhen and shrunk his neck, saying that Feng Zhen took his kindness as a donkey's liver and lungs, and he ignored this business and turned around to walk into the house, he was stopped by Feng Zhen.

"Bai Dalang!"

"Have."

"……come here."

"it is good."

When Bai Jinyi walked up to him with a playful smile, Feng Zhen coughed twice, cleared her throat, and said, "You just said that you could help, and you asked a team of your father's scouts to help. Is that what you said? ?”

Bai Jinyi nodded: "That's right."

Feng Zhen continued to put on a serious face: "Well, you can do me a favor, find some people, and follow me to the place where Mrs. Xie is missing. I found Mrs. Xie, and I invite you to eat in Fanlou. You can choose whatever you want. point, how?"

Bai Jinyi laughed loudly: "Hahahaha, good! It's worth it to have you by my side!"

After a pause, he said boldly again: "Feng Erniang, you and Mrs. Xie's officials will go to the tea house at the entrance of the alley and wait for a while. See you there!"
