The Chen family has a daughter to marry

Chapter 56:

Shenjia Town was ordered to blockade as early as the first moment, and the downpour gradually stopped, but the strong fragrance of rouge never dissipated.

Shen Lifang personally led the search, and turned Shenjia Town upside down, but in the end, he never found the shadow of Chen Xiaobaa——Could it be that the woman in orange was really blown into a pulp by the sky thunder?

Looking at the Hualoutai, there are Huadans in colorful clothes singing loudly. The spacious stage is set up in a huge house. The tables and chairs under the stage were originally intended to entertain the whole town to listen to the music, but now it is empty. The next three gathered around a small wine table.

One of the handsome men was dressed in a clean white shirt, his head was shaking with the opera on the stage while his long hair was flowing, his right index finger was tapping on the table to beat the beat, his leisurely appearance was in harmony with the noisy Shen family The town is rather out of place.

Sitting next to the man on the left hand side was an ordinary and gentle young man, his hands were tightly clenched into fists, the palms of which were already soaked with sweat, and his brows were frowning with obvious restlessness engraved on his face Even a blind person can see clearly this impatience.

In comparison, the beautiful woman on the right side of the man is much more indifferent, her legs are slightly upturned, showing a mature charm, she is leaning lazily, with her head on one hand and squinting at the performers on the stage, her thin clothes are wet from the rain. It shows the unique style of graceful and soft body.

There is no need to be suspicious, the three of them right now are Chen Xiaobai's best friend, Chang Ju, and Shen Yifan, who is notoriously nerdy with the Shen family, and Shen Yifan, who is also deep in the government, does not regard them as opponents. Shen Congwen, who can be regarded as the most unambitious Shen family, And Tuoba Wushuang, who came from the desert sand sea and was about to be on the list of "Top Ten Beauties in the World" because of Liu Hongyan's death.

When the news that "Shen Yifan and Shen Anke were expelled from Shen's house after their arms were broken" reached Wanghualou, Shen Congwen's expression changed dramatically, and he was so frightened that the actors on the stage stopped suddenly, and turned around to run to Shen Lifang to beg for mercy , but was grabbed by the arm by the displeased Chang Ju who disturbed Yaxing while watching the opera.

"What are you going to do?"

Faced with Chang Ju's knowingly questioning, Shen Congwen was no longer as gentle as before. He shook off the man's palm and said in a loud voice: "I'm going to see my father! Even if it's for the third sister, how can he break the arms of my two sisters?"

Chang Ju said calmly, "How do you plan to talk to Master Shen?"

Shen Congwen stood dumbfounded on the spot, but Chang Jushou didn't give him any chance to think, and then said: "If you only want to intercede for the two Misses of the Shen family, I advise you not to waste your time talking, Mr. Shen This move seems to be savage and violent, but as the only son of his old man, how can you not see it at all?"

Shen Congwen recovered from his impulsiveness, blinked his eyes obviously not understanding the meaning of Chang Ju's negative words, stared at the handsome man in a daze, but couldn't say a word.

Chang Ju looked at Shen Congwen's foolish appearance and unconsciously sighed in his heart. It is true that the same rice supports all kinds of people. They are both children of Shen Lifang. Is it a hazy naive look?

He clapped his hands and called the actors on the stage to continue singing, and often lived in front of the wine table and had a long talk with Shen Congwen: "Do you know why Master Shen insists on making Miss San the successor of the Shen family?"

Shen Congwen scratched his head, and tentatively said: "Or is it because the third sister is born smart? The third sister can write good handwriting, and if it were me, I would write that kind of lowercase all my life... Well, let me think about it, maybe Maybe it's because the third sister has a lot of courage? The rumors about the third sister, among other things, are "for a woman who travels thousands of miles north", which shows her courage. For ordinary people, I'm afraid they would only think about it in their dreams, so how could they Are you really doing such a crazy thing?"

At this point, Shen Congwen's body trembled suddenly, he turned his head to look and saw Tuoba Wushuang with a sultry face and frosty eyes, Chang Ju felt as if he didn't realize it, and asked with a smile: "Is there anything else?"

Shen Congwen shook his head, Chang Ju negatively pointed to Shen Congwen and said, "Actually, Master Shen has also taken a liking to Miss San's advantage, but you also have it, Eldest Young Master."

"Me?" Shen Congwen looked surprised, pointing his index finger at the tip of his nose, his face full of disbelief, as if being praised by someone, he felt a burst of joy in his heart, but he shook his head and sighed when he remembered his father's disgusted face when he faced him: "How could I?" It’s good to be compared with the third sister—not to mention the third sister, even if it’s compared to Yifan, it’s still far inferior.”

Chang Ju shook his head with a negative smile, followed the singer on the stage and hummed "One courtier one courtier", and said with a smile: "Miss Shen is obviously a smart person, she has already endured many servants of the Shen family at such a young age. Support? If it weren't for Master Shen's preference for Third Miss no matter what, she would be the future Patriarch of the Shen family. Although the Eldest Miss has the talent of a counselor, her heart is not enough to become the Patriarch of the Shen family."

Speaking of familiar words, Chang Ju turned around and asked: "Eldest young master, you are the eldest son of the Shen family. It stands to reason that the head of the Shen family is in your pocket. Why don't you argue at all?"

Shen Congwen smiled softly, bowed his head and sighed: "People have their own thoughts and wishes. If I had to choose, I would rather be born into a scholarly family who is neither rich nor poor. The principle in the children's book is that once in a while, they would beat their palms with a bamboo whip when they met naughty and active people. "

Tuoba Wushuang looked away and snorted, Shen Congwen blushed with regret after he finished speaking, Chang Juxiang nodded and said with a smile: "Perhaps in the Shen family, except for Mr. Shen, the third lady is closest to you, your easy-going elder brother."

Shen Congwen remained silent, but his heart was extremely moved, and Chang Ju said again: "But it is the kindness of the eldest son, I can guarantee that if you go to ask Mr. Shen for mercy, Mr. Shen will never be willing to break up with you like the second lady. You have one arm, otherwise Chen Xiaobaa insists on leaving, wouldn't the Shen family even have a patriarch?"

Shen Congwen was dumbfounded without saying a word, but Tuoba Wushuang showed a look of astonishment, looked at the frail scholar Shen Congwen with an extremely strange face, and sneered: "How can such a person become the Patriarch of the Shen family?"

Chang Ju said negatively: "You two, please think about it. If Miss Shen becomes the head of the family, what is the first thing she will do? Expand the business to the Southern Metropolis so as to defeat the 'Flowers, Willows and Greens' and become a real leader in the business world? Before this, with a character like the Second Miss, she would definitely use the power of the Shen family to get rid of Chen Xiaobai's thorn in the side first. Who made Chen Xiaobaa's innate heart win the true love of Master Shen? After that, it will be you, the eldest son. No matter what you think, some forces in the Shen family are trying to support you to become the head of the family and gain a supreme status in the Shen family. How can the eldest lady tolerate this thorn in your flesh? As for the second lady, she is a plaything in her palm. Finding a reason to put her under house arrest or secretly killing her will save her nights and dreams—in this way, the eldest lady can rest assured that she really owns the Shen family."

Shen Congwen frowned and retorted: "Yifan and I are brothers and sisters of the same mother! Why not give up the position of Patriarch to her, how can she be so vicious?"

Tuoba Wushuang sneered, rolled his eyes and said sarcastically: "There is a golden house in the book, but after all, you can't read how ugly people's hearts are. If you really are not the eldest son of the Shen family, you fool, you will definitely suffer a lot in this life." gone."

Chang Ju said with a negative smile: "It is for this reason that it would be ideal if the Shen family is handed over to Miss San, even if Miss San is obsessed with that woman in white in Beihan, as long as she takes on this responsibility, she cannot let her go. Talent does not mean that she is ambitious to become a female emperor, but it is more than enough to keep the foundation of the Shen family. Besides, with the compassion of the third lady, she will definitely recall the eldest and second misses who were exiled from the Shen family and treat them well. The eldest lady has completely lost power, even if she has the heart of sex, she can't do it. The third lady's benevolence and righteousness will win the hearts of the Shen family. Only by helping the Shen family with kindness and power can the Shen family last forever. Compared with the lives of the Shen family, two arms count as nothing. What?

But if you can't keep Chen Xiaobaa with all your strength, in fact, Master Shen will also treat you as a backup, presumably by virtue of the eldest son's disposition, he will also treat his sister kindly. But Shen Yifan's arm had to be cut off, and what was cut off was not only an arm, but also the wings behind Shen Yifan.

This conspiracy is extremely clever, but the fly in the ointment is that she is too kind to her own daughter after all. If you want me to say that it is better to kill Miss Shen Jiangshan Yichang earlier, why bother to leave such troubles for the Shen family ? "

Shen Congwenxian couldn't recover from Chang Ju's negative words, and stood there blankly as if he had turned into a wooden figure.

At this time, a servant sent the news that Chen Xiaobaa was not found after all, and even the beggar Xiao Zhuer disappeared, leaving only the evil things used for sacrifices in the room, which made people puzzled. .

Tuoba Wushuang slapped the wine table in front of him, angrily said: "This idiot, what's wrong with taking over the Shen family!?"

But after a while, another servant sent news that Mr. Shen had sent several teams of warriors out of the town to search for them. The whole town seemed to be wearing a mask, and it was really not easy to catch those shrimps who were hiding in Shen's house and used to confuse the public.

Chang Ju threw out a piece of silver as a reward, and after the servant left, he couldn't help laughing and said to himself: "I'm afraid no one in the world knows where Chen Xiaobaa is anymore? I want to come here and report 'someone'." I saw the third lady, but most of them were the masterpieces of these substitutes, and after some pretentious tricks, they made a lot of noise—I don’t know how far she has run away at this moment."

If you count the time spent searching the whole town, you really don't know how far Chen Xiaobaa has escaped from Shen's house, and if you can't find Xiao Zhu'er, then that boy must have followed Chen Xiaobaa—— It was exactly what Shen Lifang was most worried about.

Shen Lifang came to Longma Pavilion by boat. This place that no one is allowed to set foot in Shenjia Town is the last hope in his heart.

Perhaps as smart as Chen Xiaobaa, he would have found a substitute to die on the high platform early on, but he was hiding in the Longma Pavilion, which no one expected, looking for a chance to leave the city. In fact, Chen Xiaobaa's cautious temperament would probably be the same Because, it is good to take the opportunity to escape from Shenjia Town, but there are so many soldiers in the Shen family that there is no guarantee that they will not be captured alive immediately - there must be no mistake, Chen Xiaobaa must be hiding in Longma Pavilion!

To Shen Lifang's disappointment, the dead men in the pavilion dug three feet into the ground but could not find a single hair of Chen Xiaobaa.

In front of the couch in the study, the old scholar Zhao Youning grilled a small stove to keep warm for the wet Shen Cube. The old scholar who was always obsessed with cleanliness was holding the dirty clothes that Mr. Shen had changed, and met the "No. [-] businessman in the world" who had always been calm His face was pale and he was dazed in a daze, and he couldn't help but sigh.

The truth of the world is that one thing descends one thing, and a powerful man like Master Shen also has such a nemesis.

"Old Zhao..." Shen Lifang called out, his voice dry and weak.

"Hey!" Zhao Youning agreed, and after handing over the clothes in her hand to the waiter Xiaotong, she immediately came to Shen Lifang and sat across the table, listening to Master Shen's orders.

"Can you help me figure it out, help me...help me figure out where the little one is?"

Seeing Shen Lifang looking at her as if he was holding on to the last straw, Zhao Youning stroked his white beard and smiled bitterly: "Master, you are kidding me again. The old scholar is not a god, but he can predict the world's pattern. It's not the destiny of heaven and man, not to mention that the two predictions of Liu Hongyan's death are all slaps in the face, and I am already ashamed to calculate at this moment."

After Shen Lifang laughed dryly twice, he stopped talking, lowered his eyes and thought about how he would act if Chen Xiaobaa.

Not in Longma Pavilion, not in Shen's house, not in the town, where would Chen Xiaobaa escape from if she wanted to escape?And how to escape?Where to flee?

The soldiers sent out searched the area ten miles away, not even letting go of a pile of haystacks. Could it be that Chen Xiaobaa has a pair of flying wings hidden?

At this time, a servant came to report, and the search in the west of Shenjiazhen had also been completed. After confirming that the third lady was definitely not in Shenjiazhen, Shen Lifang frowned, and then raised his head and ordered: "Let them go out of town to look for it."

Zhao Youning beside him was shocked, and hurriedly cupped his hands to persuade him: "Master, this team of soldiers is really the last team in Shenjia Town. At this moment, the interior of Shenjia is empty, if there are thieves who take advantage of the situation..."

Shen Lifang shook his head and said: "Isn't there still thirty dead men in Longma Pavilion, just go and do it."

The servant bowed his hands and left, and then the dead man called out in surprise from outside the door: "Master! I found... I found it!"

In the room, Shen Lifang was overjoyed and hurriedly called the outsiders to enter, but he saw three dead soldiers holding two immature dolls and letting them in.

Shen Lifang's surprised face froze for a moment, and then his face suddenly became gloomy. He looked coldly at the two children named Xiao Zhu'er and Xiao Kui'er, but for some reason, Chen Xiaobaa never went with these two children?

Xiao Zhu'er was bold and bold, and she didn't show the slightest fear when she met Shen Lifang, but the blind girl next to the boy hurriedly bowed her head to Shen Lifang, and Shen Lifang said in a flat voice: "I won't kill you, the premise is You tell me where Xiaobaa is."

Xiao Zhu'er actually "hummed", and said in an aggrieved voice: "Who knows where that disloyal person is!"

Shen Lifang frowned, and Xiao Kui'er immediately replied: "Returning to Master Shen, we had a conversation with the third lady first, and after Xiao Zhu'er summoned the heavy rain, we took advantage of the chaos and left Shen's house together, but we didn't expect to hide in the Longma Pavilion for a long time. Miss San didn't come, presumably we have been abandoned by Miss San as outcasts."

The corner of Shen Lifang's mouth curled up into a smile, and he asked: "Then how did you plan to get out of the town? What do you plan to do after you get out of the town? You must know that my Shen family has many soldiers, if you can escape from the monks, how can you escape from the temple?"

Xiao Zhu'er looked hesitant and bit her lips, unwilling to speak. Although the boy was annoyed at Chen Xiaobaa's treachery and abandoning him, he still cherished the woman in orange from the bottom of his heart, and Xiao Kui'er immediately replied: "Dare to ask Master Shen?" Did you seal off the whole town immediately after finding out that Miss San was missing?"

Shen Lifang nodded and said, "Exactly."

"Xiao Kui'er don't want..." Xiao Zhu'er tried to stop Xiao Kui'er from speaking, but was tightly covered by two extremely alert dead men behind him, bound his hands and feet, and couldn't move for a while.

After the silence, Xiao Kui'er sighed and said: "I think at this moment, Master Shen has already dispatched soldiers to search in all directions."

Shen Lifang felt a chill down his spine, and suddenly thought of a "possibility" that he hadn't thought of at first, and Xiao Kui'er then sighed: "The two of us made an appointment with Chen Xiaobaa. Stroke, follow the soldiers to the north, dare to ask, who would have expected that the person I was digging three feet to find was standing beside me?"

Shen Lifang slapped his forehead and yelled, "Li Hanchong!"

Jin Yi's "Zhitong" immediately appeared in the room like a ghost, Shen Lifang hurriedly said: "You are the fastest on your feet, hurry up and stop the soldiers of each team, and you must invite my daughter back!"
