Splendid peasant girl busy farming

Chapter 4897

Beijing.

Nancheng wonton shop.

A middle-aged woman in an apron, with deep wrinkles on her forehead, stands in front of the stove.

Bowls of wontons, served with various pickles, are delivered to the table outside like flowing water.

Those customers who went out to eat wontons, wontons, and noodles in the early morning talked about those jokes and knowledge.

And Jiang Zhi, a middle-aged man in thick cloth clothes, was busy carrying firewood and cleaning the house.

Jiang Zhi is an honest man, and this wonton shop is also an old-fashioned and old-fashioned craftsmanship that has been passed down for three generations.

It was an ordinary morning, but it was not a good one for the Jiang family.

Since the daughter disappeared, the cloud has been hanging over this ordinary small business family.

Every day feels like I can't breathe.

However, they couldn't tell others clearly, they just said that their daughter had gone to play with relatives, but in fact they went to the Yamen to report the case, hoping to find the woman.

However, more than half a year has passed, and there is no news from the yamen.

They also searched around secretly, but it was simply a needle in a haystack.

When he thought of his daughter being kidnapped and now he didn't know whether he was dead or alive, he felt very uncomfortable.

Thinking of the little guy riding on his back and giggling and clear smile when he was a child, he lived in torment every moment.

"Brother Jiang."

At the far corner of the street, a figure turned around and shouted from afar.

Jiang Zhi put down the firewood in his hand, wiped his hands on the rag twice, and walked over quickly.

"Brother Wei, why are you free to come over today?" Jiang Zhi's voice was hearty.

Wei Ninghai on the opposite side was tall, with a beard on his face and a literary air. He was a failed scholar.

At this moment, there was a hint of hesitation and guilt on his face.

"Well, Brother Jiang, I am ashamed of you for coming here this time."

Jiang Zhi's heart sank, Wei Ninghai's expression and words gave him a bad feeling.

Sure enough, he then took out a document.

"You, are you here to divorce?"

Jiang Zhi felt sore, what he had been dreading for a long time had finally come.

"Brother Jiang, you also know that Chun'er...doesn't know if she's still alive or not...My son is going to take the township examination after the Chinese New Year..."

Wei Ninghai's eyes dodged a little, this matter, after all, was his fault.

But anyway, his son was going to take the provincial examination, and he had already heard that something happened to Jiang Zhi's daughter, so it would be better if he divorced as soon as possible.

"I understand. Let's forget about the marriage between our two families. From now on, let's each live in peace."

Jiang Zhi's face turned cold.

Wei Ninghai wanted to say something else.

But Jiang Zhi didn't want to talk anymore, he turned his head and left.

In this era, it is a great insult to the woman for the man to voluntarily withdraw from the engagement for no reason, and the girl's reputation is gone.

Jiang Zhi felt sad in his heart, how could he be willing to say a word more.

Wei Ninghai sighed, shook his head and prepared to turn around and leave.

At this time, at the corner of the street, a luxurious carriage came slowly.

The steeds in front are two white horses with the same coat color, even the size is very similar, as if they are one.

He knew the names of the two horses, Moonlight Shines on Lions!

"Moon Night Shines on the Lion" is an extremely expensive famous horse, even for the nobles, only the wealthy nobles can get it. Power and money are indispensable.

The carriage at the back is inlaid with gold and precious jade, the tassels hanging from the bottom, and the decoration of the corners all show its value.

Such a carriage must only be ridden by a big shot in Da Qi.

How did you come to this remote little place?

Moreover, the direction of the carriage seemed to be heading in the direction of the wonton shop.

The people around avoided the carriages one after another and made way for a road. They were not fools. When they saw this kind of car for the rich and powerful, they hurriedly hid far away. If they were hit, the consequences would be disastrous.

Jiang Zhi, who was about to enter the store to work, also stopped.

When the carriage approached the wonton shop, it stopped slowly.

A man in silk clothes jumped out of the car, with a rich figure and an emerald ring on his finger.

"Which one is Jiang Zhi?"

The man yelled loudly.

Jiang Zhi hurriedly responded, "I am Jiang Zhi."

He was a little flustered, this strange nobleman suddenly came over and asked him, did something bad happen?
"Jiang Zhi, I'm Wang Dong, the housekeeper of the Zhongyong uncle's house. Your daughter has done a good job in the uncle's house recently. Madam is kind enough to let your family go over. You can clean up and leave later." The man smiled.

"My daughter?"

Just after Jiang Zhi spoke half of the sentence, Wang Dong gave him a signal with his eyes, and he immediately woke up like a dream.

"Okay, I'll pack up and go to the house right away."

Jiang Zhi quickly entered the store.

"Old lady, hurry up, clean up quickly, close the door, let's go see Chun'er." Jiang Zhi said excitedly with his face flushed.

"What? See Chun'er?" Mrs. Ma covered her mouth with her hand, her eyes turned red immediately, and she couldn't stand still.

"Don't ask, don't tell, just follow along."

After Jiang Zhi gave a warning, Ma nodded and didn't speak, but just covered his mouth and tried his best to hold back his tears.

After persuading the customers who were eating wontons away, and closing the door, Jiang Zhi and Ma got into the carriage.

Neighbors in the surrounding neighborhood were dumbfounded.

"It turns out that his daughter is in Uncle Zhongyong's residence. I wonder what they are hiding."

"It's concealing the future of wealth and honor."

"There are also rumors that the Jiang family's daughter is missing and is no longer alive. I think it's all nonsense."

"So, isn't the Wei family who just retired a big loss?"

"That's right, that son of his family will reach the top of the examination for a scholar, and that level can't pass the examination for Juren at all. Losing the Jiang family's marriage is tantamount to offending Uncle Zhongyong's family, and life will be difficult."

Hearing the voices mocking him from all around, Wei Ninghai blushed, covered his face with his sleeve and ran away.

He found that he seemed to have done a very stupid thing.

And now there is no chance to repent.

He gritted his teeth to comfort himself, maybe that Jiang Qianchun was just a handyman.

Even he himself didn't quite believe this comforting words.

After all, if he was just a handyman, how could such a luxurious carriage come to pick him up?
Thinking of this, Wei Ninghai's legs were weak when he walked, and his heart was filled with regret.

Jiang Zhi and Ma Shi were sitting in the carriage, their hearts were up and down, and they were very disturbed.

It was very comfortable to sit in the car, but so what, all this happened too strangely, they had no idea what happened.

Jiang Zhi had no other thoughts in mind, he just wanted to know if his daughter was still alive.

After a while, Steward Wang Dong also entered the carriage.

"Don't worry, both of you, your daughter is fine, and now she is working for Mrs. Zhongyong." Butler Wang Dong smiled.

Jiang Zhi and Ma Shi looked at each other, and their hearts were at ease. As long as Chun'er is alive, everything else is trivial.

　I'm sorry, I made a mistake, it has been changed to Wonton Shop, it's my fault, I'm sorry dears
