The maid took him around, making Song Qingshu doubt whether what was waiting for him was a trap, but he didn't go to a remote alley along the way, no one was stupid enough to be in a crowded place Set a trap.
After a while, Song Qingshu followed the maid to a tea house by the river, where the small bridges flowed, and the willows flowed, it could be considered quiet and elegant.
"My lord, Madam is waiting for you upstairs in the private room." The maid continued to make a gesture of invitation.
Song Qingshu became more and more curious, but he wasn't going to be dazed by the beauty, so he didn't go up directly, but stood still and felt the surrounding environment quietly, and he didn't notice it when the air machine stretched tens of feet away There was something like an ambush, so the maid smiled and followed.
The servant girl led him to the private room on the upper floor next to the river: "My lord, please!"
Song Qingshu nodded, pushed the door open and went in, only to see a dignified and quiet young woman in plain clothes sitting by the window in a daze, when she heard the movement, she turned her head and saw a hint of surprise on his face: "Young Master Song~"
Song Qingshu had already recognized her as Li Wan, the youngest mistress of the Jia family, and couldn't help but smiled wryly: "Madam is quite mysterious."
Li Wan slightly bowed his knees and gave a salute, with a trace of apology in his eyes: "I am inconvenient in my status, I have made a special trip to work hard, and I hope you will forgive me."
"Understood, it's hard work to see a beauty like Madam." Song Qingshu smiled. Li Wan is not only the young mistress of a big family, but now she is a widow in her youth. Naturally, some people will make all kinds of vicious speculations, Gossiping, in order to reduce these things, she had to be cautious in her words and deeds in daily life, so she didn't dare to find herself openly, so she could only invite herself to a secluded place by this method.
Li Wan couldn't help blushing when he heard his words, thinking that he was a young man, how could Meng Lang say such things to me, a widow.
However, after noticing that the other party's expression was as usual, and he didn't have any lewdness, it was only now that he realized that this was a different kind of compliment, and he couldn't help but secretly laughed. No wonder many nobles in the capital called him the bandit leader in private, and they really didn't care about these nobles' etiquette …
If the young man in the capital had treated her badly in words and deeds on weekdays, she would have walked away long ago, but today it gave her a strange feeling, probably because of the sincerity in the other party's tone.
"My concubine invited the young master over this time to ask the young master..."
Before Li Wan finished speaking, Song Qingshu stopped him with his hand: "I have traveled so far to see Madam, don't I have a cup of tea?"
Li Wan patted his forehead, pursed his lips and said with a smile: "It's my concubine's disrespect." She had already sent the maid outside, so she simply poured tea for Song Qingshu herself.
"Thank you, madam." Taking the teacup from her hand, Song Qingshu sighed secretly when he looked at her wrist that was whiter than porcelain. pursue their own happiness.
"A few days ago, the young master said that there was news about my eldest sister..." Li Wan asked hesitantly after sitting down again, and at the same time looked at the other party nervously, for fear that the other party would say that he didn't know.
Because Song Qingshu was always distracted by various things in this short period of time, and he never fulfilled his promise to tell the Li family about their missing eldest lady. The Li family's father and daughter even began to suspect that he deliberately found a reason for the Li family to help. to fool.
Now that Song Qingshu has been promoted to the King of Qi, he has an honorable status, even if he breaks his promise, the Li family can't do anything about it, so Li Wan has deliberately called him Young Master since just now, instead of calling him King of Qi, in order to draw closer the relationship between the two parties.
"It was my negligence," Song Qingshu said apologetically, "I've been busy during this time, and I haven't had time to visit my house. I'm really sorry that Madam came to see me in person."
"My lord, you're being polite." Sensing his sincere attitude, Li Wan's tense nerves finally relaxed a little.
"I'm just guessing about your eldest sister's news. Although I think it's 70% sure, it might just make you happy for nothing, so Madam, please be mentally prepared." Song Qingshu said.
Li Wan nodded: "I understand that the eldest sister has been missing for more than 20 years, and we have also searched for more than 20 years, but we have given up in the end. Fortunately, this time I got the news of the eldest sister from the mouth of the son, so no matter what Can you find Eldest Sister, Young Master is also a great benefactor of our Li family."
Li Wan stood up and bowed gracefully while talking, Song Qingshu hurried over to grab her arm, and helped her up: "Ma'am, you are serious."
Li Wan withdrew his hand back as if he had been electrocuted, a blush appeared on his fair cheeks, and he stood there a little nervously.
Song Qingshu couldn't help but lament that he was really a bit of a Meng Lang. A lady of this era probably never had physical contact with other men except her husband, yet he went to help her recklessly...
But he thought about it, anyway, those TV dramas are like this, when men are injured, the hero will give them internal energy through the clothes to heal their injuries, and when women are injured, the hero will take off their clothes to heal their injuries...
This is called upholding the glorious tradition of our predecessors!
"I don't know if eldest sister is well now?" Li Wan came back to his senses, and brushed the scattered hair from his temples behind his ears, showing his femininity.
"You can say yes, or you can say no." Looking at Li Wan's surprised eyes, Song Qingshu smiled wryly, "The last time I chatted with you, I guessed from the age, appearance, etc., that your missing eldest sister should be Li Mochou."
"Li Mochou?" Li Wan looked bewildered, it was obvious that this name was very unfamiliar to her who lived in her boudoir.
"She also has a nickname, Fairy Chilian." Song Qingshu explained, but quickly realized, "Madam is a lady of such a family, she must have never heard of these names in the Jianghu."
Li Wan showed a worried expression: "Although I haven't heard of it, I think Eldest Sister is not doing well."
Song Qingshu wondered: "How can you see that?"
Li Wan sighed quietly, her voice still extremely gentle: "A woman's nickname has the word Chi Lian, which obviously represents killing and hatred, but I believe that the elder sister is a kind person, unless there are some major changes, It caused her temperament to change drastically..."
Song Qingshu couldn't help admiring: "Madam is really smart, she guessed the matter to the point just based on her nickname. When Li Mochou was young, she fell in love with a man named Lu Zhanyuan, and then..." Then he told Li Mochou The things of these years have been roughly said again.
"That Lu is really hateful!" Li Wan bit her lip and said angrily, but she has a gentle temperament, even if she gets angry, she is not scary at all.
"It's really hateful to have a small heart." In Song Qingshu's values, it's okay to provoke girls, but you can't be irresponsible after you provoke them, so in his opinion, Duan Zhengchun, who is merciful but irresponsible, is more scum than stallion Wei Xiaobao Many, Wei Xiaobao may be mean and vulgar, or he may just be greedy for the beauty of those women and not love them, but he has made proper arrangements for every woman, so how could he cause so many orphans and widows to wander around like Duan Zhengchun did.
"However, Eldest Sister blamed others, killing innocent people indiscriminately is a bit too much." Li Wan suddenly changed the subject, although his voice was gentle, but it was very firm.
"Sure enough, she is indeed the daughter of the Imperial College Jijiu. She knows the book and respects the etiquette, and can distinguish right from wrong." Song Qingshu couldn't help admiring.
Li Wan's heart beat instantly faster, she was not used to being praised directly by men like this, so she hurriedly said, "Where is eldest sister now?"
"She's doing things for me now," Song Qingshu explained, "I arranged for her to help me at the Sun Moon God Sect's main altar, so I shouldn't have time to come here as a clone for the time being."
"Huh?" Li Wan suddenly looked disappointed.
Song Qingshu replied: "Recently, I have to be busy cooperating with the Southern Song Dynasty and the Northern Expedition to the Kingdom of Jin. I am at a loss for time. As soon as I am free, I will find someone to replace your eldest sister's job and ask her to come to Lin'an to meet you. .”
"Really?" Li Wan blinked his eyes, filled with excitement.
Song Qingshu couldn't help laughing and said: "Don't worry ma'am, we are also our own people, how could I lie to you."
Li Wan blushed, and muttered in a low voice, "Who is your own person."
Even though the voice was very low, Song Qingshu could still hear clearly how powerful Song Qingshu was, and couldn't help laughing: "Li Mochou called me brother-in-law, so I am also your brother-in-law."
"Brother-in-law?" Li Wan looked at him strangely.
"It's like this, Li Mochou's teacher has a senior sister, who is my confidante..." Song Qingshu explained.
Li Wan pursed his lips and smiled: "I have heard for a long time that the young master is very romantic and attractive to women, and I just realized today that the rumors are true."
Song Qingshu couldn't help teasing and said, "Does Madam like me?"
Li Wan's face changed, and he stood up suddenly: "I hope you will respect yourself."
Only then did Song Qingshu regret it, he was completely used to flirting, and instinctively teased him, but Li Wan was young and widowed for many years, and he paid the most attention to fame, so how could he stand up to this kind of teasing.
"I was the one to be rude." Song Qingshu said embarrassedly.
Li Wan was noncommittal, and said indifferently: "I met the young master today, and I have already got the answer I wanted, so I will leave now." After speaking, regardless of the other party's persuasion, she went straight out of the door, and gradually walked away with the maid.
Seeing her slender back like a willow disappear, Song Qingshu picked up the tea on the table and drank it in one gulp, shaking his head and smiling wryly.
"My lord, why should you be discouraged? How can such a superficially chaste and strong woman stand up to my lord's tricks." At this moment, there was a coquettish laugh from outside the door.
Song Qingshu looked up, and soon a woman appeared at the door, her phoenix eyes were full of spring, her eyebrows were drawn into her temples, and the corner of her mouth was smiling. She was about 22 or 3 years old, her eyes were flowing, and she was very beautiful. At this time, she had already taken off the usual conspicuous Miao decorations and put on Han Chinese clothes, but what remained unchanged was her radiant skin and unusually fair complexion.
"How do you know I'm here?" The woman in front of him was naturally He Tieshou who had been away for many days.
He Tieshou walked straight over, giggling and sat in his arms: "I got your warrant and rushed to Lin'an day and night, and I was about to come to see you, but I didn't know that you were taken away by other women on the way. Seeing that girl's ordinary appearance, I felt that you would not be so hungry, so I quietly followed her out of curiosity, only then did I know that there is a dignified and beautiful young lady waiting for you."
