Xiao Rongyu is gone? !
Nangong Yue frowned slightly, met Baihui's gaze, and asked, "Baihui, what's the matter? Didn't Miss Wu go out with Concubine Wei today?"
Baihui replied sternly: "Concubine Shizi, the concubine Wei took the fifth girl out to play this afternoon, and passed by Jilifang half an hour ago. The maids were scattered. Concubine Wei was in a hurry, and ordered the maids and women to search around for a while, but they couldn't find anyone, so they sent someone back to report, and asked Shi Zifei to send some people to help find someone together."
Xiao Xiaoyu looked at her mother for a while, and Baihui for a while, twisted her chubby body on her mother's lap, and yelled "Yi Ya", trying to attract the attention of the two of them.
Nangong Yue was not in the mood to appease the little guy, so she hurriedly ordered: "Baihui, hurry up and ask Ah Lan to take the guards from Bixiaotang and the guards from the Wangfu to find someone at Jilifang..." Paused After a while, she hugged Xiao Yu and got up and said, "I'll go and have a look too..."
Baihui hurriedly took the order, and there was commotion in the yard. Haitang and Thrush rushed to prepare the car. Nangongyue handed the little guy to Juanniang's care, and soon left Bixiaotang under the escort of the guards. .
Ji Lifang is located on Hanshi Street in the north of the city, only three streets away from Bixiaotang. Under the gallop of the coachman, Nan Gongyue and his party rushed to Hanshi Street in just a cup of tea.
On Hanshi Street, one can determine the location of Ji Lifang at a glance. Although the fire there has been extinguished, there is still some green smoke rising up, and even the sky has been stained with a dark gray by the smoke in advance. haze…
The passers-by who were watching nearby hadn't dispersed yet, and the street was even busier than usual, but there was a bit of sigh and emotion.
"Tap Tat Tat..."
The hooves of dozens of fine horses overlapped and rumbled, attracting a lot of attention.
A group of guards galloped forward in a mighty Zhulun chariot. These guards just rode their horses and whipped their whips, and they released a kind of arrogance that strangers should not enter, which immediately made many passers-by on the street They all avoided the two sides, whispering to each other and guessing what was going on.
"What's going on here? Why are the people from the palace dispatched?" A young man curiously asked the person next to him.
Immediately, someone interjected: "Could it be that there are Nanman spies again?!"
There was an instant commotion in the crowd, and several people talked about the arrest of the Nanman spies by the guards of the palace last month.
Suddenly, an old woman raised her voice and interjected: "I heard that a little girl was lost when Jilifang was flooded just now..."
"Yes, yes! Just now, several people dressed as servants were asking around for a six or seven-year-old girl."
"Could it be that they are looking for a girl from the palace?!"
"..."
Amidst those suspicious voices, a group of guards got closer and closer, and the sound of horseshoes became louder, shaking people's ears.
The Zhulun car started to slow down a few tens of feet away from Jilifang, and soon stopped in front of a young lady wearing a green willow-colored vase with dark patterns and makeup. She was only in her twenties, and she was At the most youthful age of a woman, her skin is as smooth as snow, and there is a trace of charm in her elegance.
Normally, Wei Shi was always calm and reserved, but at this moment he could no longer maintain his composure, his face paled, and his slender jade fingers were tightly clutching the handkerchief in his hand, looking a little bit out of his wits.
The appearance of the Zhu Lun car made Wei a little surprised, he naturally guessed who was in the car, and a warm current surged in his heart. She sent someone back to the palace to ask for help, but she never expected that she would come in person as the eldest concubine, after all, the place was in chaos due to the flood...
At this time, Nangong Yue got out of the carriage with the support of Baihui, Wei hurriedly stepped forward, thanked Fushen gratefully and said: "You have alarmed the concubine, concubine..."
"Wei side concubine, you don't have to be polite. It's important to find the fifth sister." Nangong Yue interrupted Wei Shi decisively, and then asked, "Wei side concubine, how did fifth sister disappear?!"
Wei Shi took a few deep breaths and managed to calm down a bit, but his slender body was still trembling faintly, and he explained the ins and outs in an orderly manner.
Today, Wei Shi took Xiao Rongyu out for a walk before Laba was not so busy, and also bought some things that the little girl likes... On the way back to the house, I happened to pass by Ji Li Fang, and saw a long queue in front of Ji Li Fang. Ji Li Fang's dim sum has always been a favorite of the girl's family, Xiao Rongyu smelled the sweet smell, so she acted like a baby to Wei Shi and said that she wanted to eat Ji Li Fang's dim sum.
Wei Shi only had this one daughter, and he couldn't beat her, so he let the little girl run to buy it accompanied by her maid.
Unexpectedly, the back kitchen of Geely Square suddenly ran out of water!
When the incident happened suddenly, the houses of the girls queuing up suddenly became chaotic and panicked. Many people nearby came to help put out the fire, and many passers-by came to watch the excitement... The whole Hanshi Street was crowded and crowded .
In the chaos, Xiao Rongyu and the servant girl got separated. Although Mrs. Wei hurriedly ordered people to look for them, there were too many people. sub was swallowed up...
Until the flow of people began to disperse, but still can not find Xiao Rongyu's whereabouts...
"Concubine Shizi," Wei Shi said, with tears welling up in his eyes, as if he was about to cry at any moment, "I am worried that a kidnapper will take advantage of the chaos..."
This is her only daughter, and she places all her hopes on life...
In case Xiao Rongyu was abducted by a kidnapper, Wei couldn't believe what would happen to her daughter in the future, becoming a child bride, a slave, or even a prostitute...
Nangong Yue comforted her softly: "Wei side concubine, don't worry, as long as you are in Luoyue City, you won't be lost!"
Her gentle voice was still as unhurried as usual, but there was a faint domineering, and a soothing power.
Mrs. Wei was stunned, and thought of Xiao Yi for a moment, so she heard Nangong Yue's decisive order: "Chief Ren, you should immediately search for the whereabouts of the fifth girl! Dig three feet to find the fifth girl! If there is not enough manpower, Just go back to the palace and tune in!"
While speaking, Nangong Yue made a gesture, and Thrush took out a scroll of paintings and handed them to Ren Zinan. This was the painting that Xiao Fei drew for Xiao Rongyu and Xiao Xiao Yu when they were playing last month. It can make it easier for the guards to find people.
"Yes, Shizi Concubine." The guards headed by Ren Zinan cupped their fists in unison to accept the order, and the shouts shook the surroundings for a moment of silence.
Afterwards, Ren Zinan surrounded the guards, and after giving some orders, the guards dispersed in groups of two, some went door-to-door to inquire and search; some rode their horses to further streets Some people took the painting directly on the street and asked every passer-by if they saw the six or seven-year-old girl in a pink dress...
For a while, the whole street boiled again after running water in Jilifang:
"It's really the girl from the palace who got lost!... Could it be that she was kidnapped by a kidnapper?"
"The kidnapper must be taking advantage of the troubled water to fish in troubled water!"
"Abductors are too bold these days, they even dare to abduct girls from the palace!"
"I'm afraid that kidnapper didn't expect to kick this 'iron plate' of the palace..."
"I hate kidnappers the most in my life. This time, people from the Zhennan Prince's Mansion are on the job. I think this kidnapper will definitely not be able to escape!"
"..."
The more those passers-by talked, the more righteous indignation filled them, and they all felt that this kidnapper who had eaten the heart of a bear and a leopard must be dead!
Those miscellaneous voices inevitably reached Wei Shi's ears, which only made Wei Shi more uneasy.
She had heard this kind of thing a lot before, and the longer it took, the harder it was to find someone. Wei Shi was afraid that the kidnapper would leave the city immediately after abducting his daughter. After that, the sky would be high and the earth would be far away, and there would be little hope of finding someone...
As for Nangong Yue, she looked at Jilifang across the street.
The fire just now seemed to be quite serious. The fire came from the backyard, and even the pavement of Ji Lifang was scorched black by the fire. The ground inside and outside the door was wet, and there were puddles and water marks everywhere. It was a mess, and the backyard was still billowing with smoke.
Nangong Yue's eyes flickered, and she told Baihui, "Baihui, go to Jilifang and ask why the water is leaking?"
"Yes, Crown Princess."
As soon as Baihui left, she heard a commotion from one end of the street. A woman shouted excitedly from several tens of meters away: "We found it! Fifth girl was found!"
The shout became louder and louder, Wei Shi was shocked suddenly, and there was a little light in his originally dull eyes.
The two servant girls of the Wei family were also overjoyed, and they were relieved, as long as they were found!
And this street also ushered in the third wave. Unlike the previous panic and righteous indignation, this time, the faces of those passers-by showed joy and relief in empathy.
"I'll just say it! How could the people from the palace fail to catch the kidnapper!" A woman proudly puffed up her chest, her expression and tone were as if she had caught the kidnapper with her own hands, causing people around her to joke Voices.
The surrounding atmosphere, which was originally like a tense bowstring, suddenly became lively and brisk, sweeping away the shadows brought by the walking water and kidnappers, as if a piece of dry land was instantly watered by continuous spring rain.
Among passers-by chattering, a little servant girl ran up to her and said out of breath, "Shi Zifei... Wei side concubine, the fifth girl has been found!"
"Where's the person?" Wei asked eagerly.
The little maid took a breath, before she had time to speak, the surrounding noises and turmoil had pointed out the direction for Wei Shi. Following the sight of those passers-by, she could see that not far away, several people were surrounding a six or seven-year-old girl towards the Come here.
The little girl looks about five or six points similar to Wei Shi, and she is a little beauty at first glance, but she is a bit embarrassed at the moment, the round hair on top of her head is slightly messy, and there is a little dust on her little face.
"Sister Yu!"
It's her sister Yu! Sister Yu with all beards and tails! The boulder in Wei's heart finally fell, and he walked quickly towards Xiao Rongyu.
"Mother..." The six-year-old girl also saw her mother and cried out excitedly. At this time, how can she still remember the rules she learned on weekdays? He grabbed Wei Shi's skirt.
Wei Shi patted Xiao Rongyu's back, trying to comfort her daughter.
The familiar scent on Mother's body made the little girl calm down a lot, she smiled shyly, and then said: "Mother, it was Mr. Guan who saved my daughter..." Saying that, Xiao Rongyu let go of Wei's grip. skirt, hurriedly looked in the direction of coming, "By the way, Mr. Guan..."
Nangong Yue and Wei Shi also looked over intuitively, both startled and surprised.
The "Mr. Guan" that Xiao Rongyu said turned out to be a woman.
A dozen or so feet away, two women from the palace walked towards this side accompanied by a middle-aged woman who seemed to be in her forties.
This woman was wearing a stone blue plain thin coat, fair skin, neatly combed hair into a round bun, with only a bamboo hairpin inserted, her attire was very plain, at first glance she was just a very ordinary woman. People, looking at her again, I feel that she has a dignified appearance, with a gentle and friendly smile hanging on the corner of her mouth, her waist is straight when she walks, her posture is extremely elegant, she is neither fast nor slow, and she seems to have an extraordinary bearing.
Nangong Yue just glanced at it, and knew that this "Mr. Guan" had learned the rules, and it was definitely not achieved overnight, it should have been a few years of hard work.
No matter who this Mr. Guan is, his status cannot be higher than that of Shi Zifei and Zhennan Wang's side concubine, but when he thought that the other party had saved his daughter, Wei rushed forward and blessed the other party: " Thank you Mr. Guan for saving the little girl."
For a moment, those passers-by also looked at the female gentleman with burning eyes, wondering how this seemingly helpless woman saved the girl of the palace from the kidnapper.
In the eyes of everyone, Mr. Guan was still calm and calm, and said with a smile: "Wei side concubine is polite. I just did it casually."
Mr. Guan didn't seem to want to say more, Xiao Rongyu hurriedly said: "Mother, if Mr. Guan hadn't acted, I'm afraid I would have been trampled on..."
Stampede? ! Hearing this word, Nangong Yue and Wei Fangfei's expressions froze.
The passers-by around heard this and vaguely understood, they all looked at each other and said: So there are no kidnappers!
Afterwards, the little girl simply explained what had happened by herself, saying that she and the servant girl were separated by the crowd in the chaos after running into the water. When she came back, she was knocked to the ground when she was crowded. At that time, she had no time to get up, and the people behind swarmed up crazily and stomped on her... When she was out of breath, she fainted. At that time, she found lying in a small alley, and this Mr. Guan was watching her, and it was only then that he realized that it was this Mr. Guan who took her away at a critical moment...
The little girl said, still a little scared, stepped forward to respectfully bless Mr. Guan: "Thank you Mr. Guan for saving your life, I will remember it in my heart."
Although Xiao Rongyu was only six years old, but as a girl of the palace, she grew up under the supervision of Mrs. Wei and the foster mother, and her immature words and deeds already showed the demeanor of a noble girl.
Looking at her daughter, Wei Shi felt relieved, but also a little bit afraid. She couldn't imagine that if this Mr. Guan was one step late, then her daughter might...
Mr. Guan looked at Xiao Rongyu with gentle eyes, the corners of his mouth slightly turned up, revealing some fine lines, and said kindly: "Miss Xiao is fine, as the Buddha said, saving a life is better than building a seven-level pagoda, and this is mine too." Merit. Although Miss Xiao is fine, she was still a little frightened, so hurry up and go back home with your family."
As he said that, Mr. Guan quickly glanced at Wei Shi, Nan Gongyue and Xiao Rongyu, and then said: "I still have something to do, so I will take my leave first."
Mr. Guan saluted and was about to leave, but was stopped by Mrs. Wei: "I don't know where Mr. lives. I will come to the house with my little girl to thank you someday."
When Wei said this, the spectators also knew that this side concubine Wei was going to come to present a generous gift, and they cast envious eyes on Mr. Guan for a while.
This female gentleman is also considered to be lucky, saving the girl in the palace, what a blessing that is!
Mr. Guan, who was about to turn around, stopped, seemed to hesitate for a moment, and then replied: "I am currently staying in Huanxi Pavilion temporarily."
Afterwards, Mr. Guan turned and left, disappearing into the crowd...
Xiao Rongyu returned safely, Ren Zinan and a group of guards also returned to their orders.
Nangong Yue looked around at the noisy crowd, and said, "Wei side concubine, since the fifth younger sister has been found, let's go back home first."
"Shizi Concubine is right." Wei quickly agreed, and took Xiao Rongyu into their carriage, while Nangong Yue walked up to her Zhulun carriage, paused for a while, feeling like a light was on her back.
"Shizifei..." Huamei was about to help Nangong Yue get into the car, but found that she turned her head and looked at the rear right through Wei Fangfei's carriage...
Huamei was about to speak again, but Nangong Yue had come to her senses, raised her eyebrows, and got on the Zhulun carriage. She seemed to see that Mr. Guan walked into a calligraphy and painting shop not far away...
Amidst the coachman's yelling, the wheels of the cart started to roll, and a group of guards escorted the carriages of the masters back to the palace.
At this time, the setting sun in the west has almost completely set, and the sky is a bit hazy, and it is time to close up and go home.
But the passers-by on Hanshi Street still felt a little unsatisfied, and they all stared at the direction of the palace's chariots and horses leaving for a long time and refused to leave... Today's Luoyue City has another topic that can be discussed for several days before night falls.
Nangong Yue's chariots and horses returned to the palace smoothly all the way, and entered through a corner gate. Nangong Yue did not go back to Bixiao Hall, but followed Wei Shi and Xiao Rongyu to their courtyard.
Xiao Rongyu survived the catastrophe today, but she is young and forgetful. After returning to the palace, she immediately forgot the previous adventures in the familiar environment, and chatted and laughed happily. He stared intently at his daughter.
"Fifth sister, sit down quickly, I'll check your pulse." Nangong Yue motioned Xiao Rongyu to stretch out her right wrist.
Xiao Rongyu has always been obedient and obedient, with one command and one movement, he rolled up his right cuff, put his slender white jade right wrist on the table, sat upright and looked at Nangong Yue, his cherry mouth curled into a shallow arc.
Looking at the little girl, the corners of Nangong Yue's mouth turned up slightly, and she couldn't help but think of the little girl she and A Yi had been looking forward to for a long time. She and A Yi's little girl will definitely be very cute...
Nangong Yue collected herself, stretched out three fingers to feel Xiao Rongyu's pulse, and then said with a smile: "Fifth Sister was just a little surprised, it's nothing serious."
Wei let out a long breath, and his stiff body relaxed a little following Nangong Yue's words. At this time, the government doctor also rushed over, checked Xiao Rongyu's pulse, and prescribed Anshen Decoction.
Under everyone's persuasion, the little girl went into the house to rest, and Nangong Yue got up to say goodbye. Wei thanked her again and again, and wrote down the feeling, thinking: Whether it is the prince or the concubine, it is credible A reliable person, fortunately I did not choose the wrong path...
After Nangongyue returned to Bixiaotang, Baihui came back one step ahead of her, and reported: "The concubine, the maidservant went to check, and also asked the boss of Jilifang, saying that the woman who was watching the stove suddenly had a stomachache. After walking away for a while, a wild cat that often came to steal food accidentally knocked over the stove and ignited the dried straw beside it, and then the fire started... Fortunately, it was discovered in time, and only a small room in the back kitchen was burned."
Nangong Yue responded, and after pondering for a moment, she said, "Go prepare a generous gift and send it to Huanxi Pavilion to that Mr. Guan."
Baihui hurriedly took orders, just came back, and left again, so busy that her feet didn't touch the ground.
By the time Baihui returned to Bixiao Hall, the sky had completely darkened, and the willows were on the moon.
"My concubine, thank you for delivering the gift to Mr. Guan personally." Baihui reported, "The servant also asked Mrs. Jiang from Huanxi Pavilion about Mr. Guan, and said that Mrs. Jiang invited a chess master from the south of the Yangtze River. , called Guan Jinyun."
"Guan Jinyun?! That deserves to be called 'Sir'." Nangong Yue muttered, she had heard of this name before, Guan Jinyun is a well-known chess master in Jiangnan.
only…
"I heard that her fame seems to be a bit 'interesting'..."
