37. Seek and seek
It was really a coincidence that Xie Chengchou was able to find Jiang Wan.
Yesterday, because he couldn't find Jiang Wan everywhere, he was a little depressed, so he found three or five friends to go to the restaurant to drink and sing poems and paint, which can be regarded as very happy. When he was half drunk, he painted a portrait of Jiang Wan again, and when he saw the painting of Siren, he saw that someone on the side saw his painting and showed a surprised expression.
That person was Xu Tucai. Earlier, Xu Tucai had a relationship with Xie Chengchou, after all, Xie Chengchou was the son of the county, Xu Tucai finally caught his line, and he had served by Xie Chengchou's side before, and he also received his reward - that is, he was almost said by Dafu Niang to steal her chicken earlier. But Xie Chengchou himself didn't like to get involved with hooligans like Xu Tucai, so he didn't pay much attention to him later.
Unexpectedly, Xu Tucai later caught up with another rich boy, and this time he happened to follow him to the banquet, which happened to let him see Jiang Wan painted by Xie Chengchou, and he recognized it.
When Xie Chengchou saw Xu Tucai's appearance, his heart lit up, and he hurriedly asked him to step forward and ask, "Do you recognize the girl in this painting?" ”
After all, Xu Tucai had been unfavorable to Jiang Wan, and seeing that Xie Chengchou was looking at Jiang Wan's portrait with an infatuated appearance, he naturally didn't dare to admit it at this moment, and hurriedly said: "Small, small doesn't recognize this girl......"
Xie Chengchou observed his words and looks, and saw Xu Tucai's dodgy expression, so he naturally knew that there was something greasy in it, so he sneered and said, "Don't you recognize? Then go to the county jail for a few days, and it will remind you of something. ”
Xu Tucai didn't have much contact with Xie Chengchou, but he also knew that although he was a partial son on the outside, if someone really provoked him, he would never be polite, after all, he was the prince of Zhixian County, the emperor of the soil here, no one dared to let him be deflated. Therefore, when he said that, he was not in any way intimidating. Thinking that if Jiang Wan really had something with Xie Chengchou, he might be in trouble, so Xu Tucai hesitated again.
Xie Chengchou slapped the table: "It seems that you have made up your mind to go to the prison to play, it just so happens that the head of the Wang cell has made some new torture tools recently, just enough to try it on you!" ”
Xu Tucai knelt down in fright when he heard this, and said repeatedly: "Young master spare his life!" The small, the small dare not hide! This girl really knows the little one, and she is in the mountain village of the little one's hometown. But young master, I don't think it's better for you to contaminate her, she has Kefu's life! ”
Hearing Xu Tucai say that he recognized the woman in the painting, Xie Chengchou was overjoyed, and when he heard him say Kefu, he frowned and asked, "Kefu?" How is the Kefu method? ”
Xu Tucai hurriedly said: "Back to the young master, this girl has set two family affairs before, but it is very evil, one of the two families was drowned in the water, and the other family was killed by robbers when she was a provincial relative!" She's not just Kefu, it's also Kefu's family! Some time ago, she got closer to a man in the village, who would have thought that the man would break his leg on the mountain! Now no one dares to be involved with her anymore! I heard that if you get close to her, your family will be unlucky! A few days ago, there was a lifter next door to her house, and I heard that it was because he walked around with her house a little more, so he had a serious illness, and even his mother fell and injured her leg on the ground! ”
In order to dispel Xie Chengchou's years of going to see Jiang Wan, Xu Tucai naturally exaggerated and said.
However, listening to his words, Xie Chengchou had a little more interest on his face: "Is this really the case? "That girl is really extraordinary.
"The little one doesn't dare to deceive the young master!" Xu Tucai said busily.
Xie Chengchou said: "That's good, it's late today, tomorrow morning, you will lead the way and take me to see her." ”
Xu Tucai was stunned. He felt that he had made it clear enough, why did this county magistrate still have to find someone? Aren't you afraid of harming yourself and your family?
"This ...... Young master, she's ...... Kefu," Xu Tucai said.
Xie Chengchou hadn't spoken yet, he had been following him, and Xie An, who knew how persistent he was with the girl in the painting, kicked Xu Tucai and said, "What are you doing with so much nonsense?!" The young master asked you to lead the way, and you led the way, there is so much nonsense, don't you want your tongue? ”
Xu Tucai shook his head again and again, and nodded hurriedly: "Yes, yes, tomorrow the little one will lead the way for the young master!" ”
Xie Chengchou was excited for a night, and early in the morning of the second day, he took a carriage before dawn, and came to Shanxia Village, at the door of Jiang Wan's house under the guidance of Xu Tucai.
He came early, and did not arouse the ideas of other people in Shanxia Village, Xu Tucai jumped out of the car one step ahead of him, and rushed to the courtyard of Jiang Wan's house in a few steps and said: "Jiang Funian, Xu Fenggu, the county princess is here, why don't you come out to greet him soon!" ”
Xu Tucai's voice called the two out, and when they saw the carriage at the gate of the courtyard and the handsome boy who got off the carriage, they were both a little stunned. They are just small people, how could they have thought that the prince of the county would one day come to their house?
Xu Tucai's voice also came out of Jiang Gu, and as soon as he saw the person standing at the door, his expression changed, and he trembled with fright. Xie Chengchou also saw Jiang Gu and recognized him as the child who escaped that day, and his heart was pounding, his eyes swept behind them, expecting that the next person to come out would be the girl he had in mind - Jiang Wan, her name, such a beautiful name, really worthy of her.
It's just that Xie Chengchou was a little disappointed that Jiang Wan didn't show up - she hadn't come back from the stream yet.
Xu Tucai knew what Xie Chengchou was here for, so he said, "Jiang Funian, where is your Jiang Wan?" Why hasn't it come out yet? ”
"What are you looking for my family Wanwan to do?" Xu Fenggu's face was worried.
Xu Tucai turned his back to Xie Chengchou, with a little disdain on his face, and said in a low voice: "Then I have to ask your daughter, why did you let the county princess worry about it." ”
Xu Fenggu's face changed slightly, and she mustered up the courage to step forward and asked respectfully, "Childe, I don't know what to do with my daughter?" ”
Knowing that this was Jiang Wan's mother in front of him, Xie Chengchou said with a pleasant face: "Auntie, I have been looking for your daughter for a few days, and I asked her to show up." ”
"This ...... I don't know why Childe is looking for her? Xu Fenggu's heart jumped.
Xie Chengchou was slightly stunned, as soon as he heard that Jiang Wan was here, he hurriedly found it, and he really hadn't thought about what to do after he found it. He wanted to marry her as he said when he met her for the second time, but she was clearly not happy, otherwise why would she run away? It's not that she doesn't know that his father is the magistrate. However, when I heard Xu Tucai say that she had a Kefu life, could it be that she was afraid of hurting him so she wanted to escape?
Xie Chengchou speculated in his heart, but said in his mouth: "When she appears, it's not too late." ”
Xu Fenggu was uneasy in her heart, but she had no choice but to invite Xie Chengchou into the house first, and send Jiang Gu to the stream to call Jiang Wan home.
Jiang Gu panicked in her heart, and went without saying a word, and happened to bump into Jiang Wan who came back at the door, and Jiang Wan also saw Xie Chengchou who suddenly appeared at her house.
"Ginger girl!" Xie Chengchou walked up to Jiang Wan with joy in his eyes, and looked at her carefully. Now that she knows where her home is, what her surname is, even if she runs again, she can't run the monk can't run Miao, Xie Chengchou is very relaxed at this moment.
Jiang Wan took a step back, and made a frightened look on her face: "Childe is ......"
Xie Chengchou said with a smile: "Under Xie Chengchou, I had a two-sided relationship with the girl before, and I took the liberty to visit this time, and I asked the girl not to blame." ”
"Gongzi Xie, I haven't seen you before." Jiang Wan denied it innocently.
Hearing her words, Xu Tucai, who was not far away, was overjoyed, and he hoped that Xie Chengchou would really recognize the wrong person, otherwise he would have a hard time in the future.
Xie Chengchou listened, but his eyebrows moved slightly, and he suddenly laughed in a low voice: "Miss Jiang, Ronald is still with me......"
Jiang Wan didn't admit that the two had met, and Xie Chengchou didn't have a problem, but fortunately, he still had a "hostage" there, so she had to stop pretending not to know him.
"Ronna?" Jiang Wan looked dazed.
Xie Chengchou smiled again: "And that day, I saw your brother." He glanced at Jiang Gu on the side, and quickly retracted it, "If you pretend that you don't know me again, maybe I have to tell my father that you have magical powers......
In the face of such a threat, Jiang Wan was a little annoyed, knowing that it was impossible to fool the past today, she said angrily in a low voice: "Gongzi Xie, I saved your whole family, how can you take revenge so kindly?" ”
Seeing that Jiang Wan was relieved, Xie Chengchou was overjoyed and said with a smile: "Sure enough, it's Miss Jiang." Since the girl has already admitted it, I will not bother my father with those things. ”
Xu Fenggu and Jiang Funian were a little nervous when they saw what Xie Chengchou was talking to Jiang Wan, but Xie An stopped them, and they couldn't get close, Xu Fenggu was really worried for a while, so she raised her voice and said: "Son, if my family Wanwan is offended, please don't blame her, it's all because I, the mother, didn't teach her well, blame me!" ”
Although Xu Fenggu used to ridicule her daughter for marrying even the prince of Zhixian County, it was just talk, no matter how she thought about it, she would not think that Xie Chengchou was here to propose. Since it is not a proposal, it must be that Wanwan offended the prince of the county, and he came to Xingshi to ask about the crime, so she said so.
Jiang Wan hurriedly said: "Mother, Gongzi Xie is not here to ask for guilt, don't worry." I'll just say a few words to Mr. Xie, mother, you and your father will take Xiao Er back to the house to rest for a while. ”
Although it is a little inappropriate for a man and a woman to speak alone, there is not so much attention in the village, and the two of them are outside the house rather than indoors, so it doesn't matter.
Where can Xu Fenggu rest assured that Jiang Wan and Xie Chengchou can talk alone? I don't know where Jiang Wan provoked the magistrate, she was full of uneasiness. But Xie An politely invited the three of them into the house, and they had no choice but to go back to the house step by step.
As for Xu Tucai, who wanted to stay and eavesdrop, he was also invited into the house by Xie An.
Seeing that there were only her and Xie Chengchou in the courtyard, Jiang Wan looked at him with a distressed face: "Gongzi Xie, why are you bothering?" ”
Xie Chengchou said with a smile: "It took a lot of thought to find Miss Jiang. If Xu Tucai hadn't happened to recognize the girl, I'm afraid I wouldn't have been able to find the girl until next year. For the girl's hiding and escape methods, I admire it below. ”
Jiang Wan said: "Gongzi Xie has won the award......
She didn't show it on her face, but at the moment she was very worried in her heart. Just now, Xie Chengchou threatened her with her golden finger, and he didn't know what she should say in order to get over - Xie Chengchou wouldn't know what kind of golden finger she had, but he must have realized that it was not ordinary, otherwise he wouldn't have persevered to track her down.
