Chapter 396: Knocking at the Door in the Middle of the Night (Second Watch)
That night, Wang and Yang Qing were sitting under the green lamp, dozing off. Although they were sleepy, they still persevered and sat by the fire waiting for news.
The Wang family didn't sleep, and the maids and women in this house didn't dare to sleep, so they all accompanied them. Serve tea for a while, and when your hands are cold, then add water. Although it was the middle of the night, the Yang family was indeed brightly lit, and no one slept.
Because something happened, each of them would be careful even when walking, for fear of provoking Wang's hot temper.
Yang Cui was sleepy very early, sitting there yawning constantly, and when she got to the back, she leaned against the wall and fell asleep.
Seeing that she was here, Wang said, "Juan'er, you help Sister Cui, you go to sleep first." It's the same when there are too many people, maybe it's going to be dawn. ”
Seeing that Wang called herself, Na Juan'er hurriedly pushed the door and went in. Hearing that the Wang family let him serve a fool, she was suddenly unwilling, and she couldn't help kneeling on the ground and crying: "Madam, it's Juan'er who serves you, isn't the service good?" Juan'er likes to serve her wife. ”
Wang glanced at the strange little girl who could talk, and said after half a ring: "It's not that you served badly, but because you served well, so I asked you to take care of the eldest lady." Don't feel wronged, I'll let you get an extra silver or two in the bookkeeper. You give me a good life to take care of her. ”
Seeing that Wang was so generous, he added one or two wages to himself, so that he could top her salary for three months.
Earning three months of silver a month, Juan'er thought of this, and her face couldn't help but feel a little more happy. Heart: It's good to take care of fools, you can be lazy if you have nothing to do, unlike serving other masters, who call yourself to do this and that all day long, and I'm afraid that if you don't do well, you will be scolded.
So she happily responded, but Wang whispered in her ear: "Remember, you give me a little smart, and look at the eldest lady lively." If there's any movement on her side, or if you meet someone, you can report to me quickly. ”
When Juan'er heard this, she was even more confused, on weekdays, in this Yang Cui's room, in addition to her uncle, who else would come.
Yang Qing would never go, even if Yang Ruo and Yang Cui were closer, but she was busy all day long without touching the ground, how could she have time to talk to Yang Cui.
However, she knows the rules of being a maid, that is, whatever the master says, she should do. If you don't understand, you can pretend to understand, and if you don't know, you can also secretly ask other companions.
If you ask the master stupidly, you are stupid.
So she nodded and carefully helped Yang Ku to rest.
Yang Qing didn't understand, so he asked, "Mother, what's wrong?" ”
Wang glanced at her before he said, "It's none of your business, don't ask what you shouldn't ask." ”
Yang Qing couldn't help but sigh in his mouth, and also glanced at Wang, but his heart was even more curious. Wang never seemed to talk to her like this, and it was rare for her to ask her what she wanted, but she didn't say it.
She must have made up her mind not to tell her today. So the two of them talked about Yang Ruosaicai again, and as they were talking, they only heard two knocks on the door.
Yang Qing subconsciously jumped up to open the door, and there was a clever little maid standing outside the door, who had already run to open the door.
The mother-in-law who was guarding the door hurriedly said, "Second Miss, don't worry, it's windy outside." ”
Yang Qing then helped the Wang family, and both of them stood up and looked out of the door.
Don't want to come back yes. The depressed Yang Daming and Chen Xiang.
When Wang saw the appearance of the two after they came back, he knew that there was no result. couldn't help but start wiping his tears and crying: "The child's father, Uncle Chen, is there still no news?" It's so late, it's such a cold day, what is the person who lacks virtue and kills a thousand knives? One thousand taels of silver, this is the life of our Yang family. My hard-working brother Fan, you can't have anything, if you have something, what can my mother do? ”
Wang sat there crying and began to babble.
Yang Qing was also even more anxious, and she couldn't help but ask if they had seen Zhao Chengzhi.
Yang Daming and the others all shook their heads, and she continued to ask, "What about Shen Gongzi, have you ever seen it?" ”
"Could it be that Shen Gongzi also helped to find it?" Chen Xiang asked.
Yang Qing nodded, and told the day's events, Chen Xiang still shook his head and said, "I didn't see it." ”
It seems that the few of them are looking for two directions.
Chen Xiang and Yang Daming received the kidnapping ticket sent by the kidnappers, so they followed the clues to find out the person. Who knew that the kidnapping person was very fine, and he actually gave the note to a little mute.
The mute kid handed them the note and ran away, unable to give them any more information.
So they searched through Xijing, and even went to Xicai Village to check, but they didn't find any useful information.
"Go get some hot water and wash them up." The maids next to Yang Qingming said.
After Chen Xiang and Yang Daming washed their faces, they served them again, and ate some hot meals before they were ready to discuss the next countermeasures.
"Child, father, what should I do, or let's go to Ah Ruo, if we can't get a thousand taels of silver tomorrow, I'm afraid the kidnappers will tear up the ticket."
Yang Daming sighed and said, "Ah Ruo still has a game tomorrow, if she knows, Brother Fan'er's matter, what if she gives up the game?" ”
"I think it's better to wait for Shopkeeper Zhao and Shen Gongzi, after they come back, we will figure out a way together, in short, before tomorrow, even if we make it up, we will have to make up a thousand taels of silver."
Wang couldn't help but glance at Chen Xiang and said, "What you said is light, where do you go to make it up, you can make it up and show me." In Ah Ruo's hand, the king's shopkeeper last time gave her 1,500 taels at once. Brother Fan is her younger brother, and if something happens to her brother, she should take out the silver. ”
"What the child?" Yang Daming couldn't help but get angry, and he hurriedly said: "You can't say a few words." Ah Ruo's money is going to be used to come in handy, and besides, a lot has already been spent. ”
Yang Daming knew that Yang Ruo and Chen Xiang were going to cooperate, and it would cost a lot of money to get any roses or something, so he would listen to the idea that the Wang family was going to beat Yang Ruoqian again, so he couldn't help but stop it.
As soon as the Wang family heard Yang Daming say this, he couldn't help but get angry, "What are you yelling at me, you useless man, I haven't had a good life since I married you." Brother Fan, is the lifeblood of my Yang family, if something happens to him, I won't live. ”
After Wang finished speaking, he cried desperately, and beat Yang Daming with his hands.
When Yang Daming saw her spilling, he couldn't help hugging her, and comforted her softly: "Okay, we'll find a way, don't worry." Shen Gongzi and Zhao are in charge, and they will not leave Brother Fan alone. ”
Yang Qing couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed when she saw her old lady, and hurriedly explained to Chen Xiang: "Uncle Chen, don't take it to heart, my mother is also in a hurry, so she talks nonsense." ”
Chen Xiang said, "I'm fine." But he thought in his heart, it's a big deal, tomorrow he will fight hard with the kidnapper. Even if he risked his life, he had to save the two children.
The people in the house were in a hurry to get on the fire, and they didn't know what to do, but they saw another knock on the door.
"Bang bang bang!" This time, the knock on the door seemed to be much more urgent than before, and Yang Qing did jump up from the stool at once, and ran to the door to open the door.
"Someone knocked on the door again, isn't it Zhao's shopkeeper?" She went to open the door full of hope, and when she opened the door, she saw that it was Shen Mu standing at the door, and Shen Mu was carrying Yang Fan on his shoulder and Chen Meiling in his hand.
"Mother, mother, Brother Fan, are they back?" Yang Qing suddenly shouted with joy.
