Meng Nan has heard this kind of polite remarks, and he can handle it with ease.
Meng Nan asked: "How many brothers and sisters do you have?"
Ke Xicheng was taken aback, but he didn't expect Meng Nan to ask such a question.
Meng Nan smiled lightly: "I'll just say it, I wonder if Master Ke has a younger sister named Ke Xianya?"
Ke Xicheng said hurriedly: "There is indeed a younger sister named Ke Xianya, the youngest child of our Ke family. Why did Meng Gongzi ask her?"
Meng Nan asked: "Then this sister Xian'er is in the house?"
Ke Xicheng hesitated, but he finally nodded, "In the mansion, I have caught the wind and cold these few days and I am recovering from illness. I wonder why Gongzi Meng asked about her sister?"
Meng Nan said: "There are some things." Just looking at Ke Xicheng's face, you know that he is lying. It is understandable to say such a lie. After all, it is the daughter of the court official's mansion. Even if he is young, he is missing. Such things are always bad. If you can get them back quietly, it is naturally the best. If you can't, don't make any noise, so as not to ruin the reputation of the mansion. After all, there are other young ladies in the mansion.
Meng Nan stopped questioning. This Young Master Ke obviously had no right to speak, and the question was for nothing. Let's wait for Master Ke to come.
This tea was drunk one after another, and after waiting for an hour, Ke Da hurried back to his home.
Master Ke is very tall, taller than Meng Nan, and his complexion is not very good. Although there is a smile on his face, his eyes are full of melancholy.
"Meng Gongzi's visit to the humble house this time must be at the Sanbao shop without incident."
It was the first time Master Ke and Meng Nan met, but they pretended to be familiar. After all, they belonged to the Meng family and couldn't be treated lightly.
Meng Nan didn't go around the corner anymore, and said directly: "Master Ke, the little daughter of the house, Ke Xianya, can you please come out and see you?"
Master Ke's face changed slightly: "What does Mengzi mean?"
Meng Nan smiled lightly: "I am also entrusted by others. I need to figure out some things. I hope Lord Ke can tell the truth."
Master Ke stood up from the chair, his expression became a little excited: "Could it be that you know the whereabouts of Xian'er?"
Meng Nan also stood up: "It seems that Miss Xian'er is indeed not in the house."
Master Ke was eager to think about her, so she hurriedly said: "Don’t hide from Gongzi Meng, Xian’er and her mother went to the Qingshan Temple outside the city to offer incense, but who knows it’s just a kowtow. , Xian'er is gone. We searched the entire Qingshan Temple, but couldn't find Xian'er's whereabouts. The wife has fallen ill since Xi'er disappeared. She has been bedridden so far, and her eyes are almost blind. If Mengzi really has I want to tell you the news of Xian'er."
Seeing him sincerely, Meng Nan's eyes were red when he was excited, so he stopped talking. He immediately took the letter out and handed it to Master Ke: "Master Ke, this is a gift from a friend of mine. You can read the letter I wrote."
Master Ke shook his hands and took the letter quickly. Looking at the handwriting in the letter, his emotions became more and more excited. The haze in his eyes was swept away, and he said excitedly: "Xian'er found it, Xian'er found it, come on, come on, come on. Go and tell your wife that Xian'er has found it."
The servants left in a hurry. Not long after, a pale and haggard woman with a thin coat and disheveled hair came to the main hall supported by two maids.
"Master, where is Xian'er? Where is Xian'er?" She couldn't even walk smoothly. She looked around in the hall with her eyes, but she never found her daughter.
