Chapter 713 He is back (3)
Xiaojuan went out immediately and passed on Qingshu's message to everyone.

Fu Huan on the side thought for a while, and asked Qing Shu in a low voice, "Do you want me to bring some servants to the Gu Mansion?" The young master left a lot of available people in the Gu Mansion in the city.There is something on the lady's side, you can pass it on.

Qing Shu pondered for a while, and said, "Let's have a look again!" Why is an old Taoist following them?This cannot be justified.

In order to confirm whether someone was really following them, Qing Shu and the others spent an entire hour during the meal in Yipinlou.Afterwards, they left Yipin Building and deliberately walked through two shops before returning to Chen's Mansion.

Chen Qiaojiang took Qingyang and the others to play.Qingshu called Du Zhongxia and Luo San to him for questioning.

"how?"

Du and Luo naturally knew what Qingshu was asking.

Guard Luo replied, "Of course, the old Taoist didn't order wine for the vegetarian restaurant he ordered at Yipinlou. But the strange thing is that the meal time was too long, and he stayed for nearly an hour before paying the bill and leaving. Zhong just came out, and then went to two shops. The old Taoist priest and the two Taoist priests who followed the old Taoist priest did not appear again. However, there are suspicious people walking around." It means that someone is indeed following them.

Guard Du, who has never talked much, said, "Miss, should the night's action be postponed for a few days? Or cancel it?"

Qing Shu's face was a little dignified, "Why do you want to postpone it?"

Du Huwei said attentively, "This subordinate thinks that it is more appropriate for Mr. Yan to handle the matter of Aunt Jian."

After hearing this, Guard Luo echoed, "This subordinate also means the same thing. Although Mr. Yan's people did not tell his subordinates everything about Aunt Jian, there is no doubt that Mr. Yan will not let Aunt Jian go down." He With the order of the young lady, when I went to inquire about Aunt Jian's appearance in Jinyang City, I met Mr. Yan's people.Only then did I know that Mr. Yan's people have been secretly watching Aunt Jian's every move.

Du Huwei said again, "Master Yan's people have been staring at Aunt Jian for so long after all, and they haven't made a move for so long. They must have other plans. If we act rashly, I'm afraid it will disrupt the deployment of Mr. Yan."

After thinking about it, Qing Shu had to admit that what Du and Luo said made a lot of sense.As soon as Guard Luo came back, she was so hot-headed that she wanted to arrest Aunt Jian overnight.For no other reason than to dig out the person behind Aunt Jian's body.It's been a while since Aunt Jian plotted about their Gu family's affairs, but there was no result. She got a little impatient waiting.When she happened to meet Aunt Jian in Jinyang City, she had no intention of letting Aunt Jian go.

Guard Luo said again, "Miss, please think twice."

Qing Shu felt unwilling, but also understood that what Du and Luo said was very reasonable.So he finally let go, "The night's action is cancelled."

Du and Luo responded in unison, "Yes."

After Du and Luo retreated, Qing Shu sat on the chair in a daze.

It was not a short time before Zhou Boyan set off for the south.Looking at it, it is the new year, and the Spring Festival will follow immediately after the new year.I don't know when he will come back.Like an ordinary woman who has her own heart, she is willing to work for him.The two new suits, which she sewed with her own hands, together with her hat and shoes and socks, were in her cupboard.Just wait for him to come back and bring it to him.

"Miss, shopkeeper Pan is asking to see you." Xiaojuan came in to report.

Qing Shu came back to her senses, "Who wants to see you?"

"Treasurer Pan of Jixiangzhuang."

"Where is the man? Please."

"She's outside the gate of Chen's mansion, and this servant will bring her here." After Xiaojuan finished speaking, she withdrew to pick up shopkeeper Pan.

About a quarter of an hour later, the chubby shopkeeper Pan appeared in front of Qingshu.It was laborious for her to salute and say hello, Qing Shu hastily stretched out her hand to excuse her.

Shopkeeper Pan insisted on completing the rules of saluting and greeting, and then stood in front of Qingshu with a smile and said, "Master, the two stewards who were looking for a lady in the mansion a while ago are married?"

Qing Shu was slightly surprised, and thought that shopkeeper Pan was well informed.She thought of a possibility, and said with a smile, "One of them has already arranged a marriage, and the other has not yet settled. Is Shopkeeper Pan helping you as a matchmaker?"

Shopkeeper Pan narrowed his eyes with a smile, "Let the boss talk. Someone came to the door today and begged me to protect her daughter as a matchmaker. I felt embarrassed for a while, and suddenly a flash of inspiration reminded me that my boss was in charge of the mansion. worry about your relatives."

Qing Shu smiled and let shopkeeper Pan sit down, and then asked about the family's specific situation.

Shopkeeper Pan didn't dare to hide anything, "My boss has met that girl before. Her surname is Lan. She came to the shop earlier to get a screen embroidery job. Don't worry, my boss. Miss Lanyuan has a good character, a good temperament, filial piety and ability. .In addition to my mother, there is only one 11-year-old brother left in the family.”

Qing Shu remembered that the first impression of that girl was good.

"Miss Lan's father used to open a small shop, and the family lived well. Unfortunately, three years ago, Miss Lan's father was accidentally injured when trying to persuade a fight, so it was gone. Her mother, Mrs. Yang, was seriously ill. Afterwards, although she was healthy, the root cause of the disease remained. Later, her uncle took her father's small shop by force, and the family survived on the 15 taels of silver that they paid for their lives. After that, the mother and daughter supported the family with embroidery skills. "

Qing Shu understands that this girl is also a hard-working girl.She motioned for Shopkeeper Pan to continue.

"Miss Lan is a caring and filial girl. She doesn't worry about her sick mother and her underage brothers. She has never said anything about them. On weekdays, our Jixiang Village takes care of their mother and daughter's work, and their mother and daughter trust me. No, When something difficult happened, Mrs. Yang came here and begged me to find a matchmaker for Miss Lan, and it would be better for Miss Lan to marry far away."

Qing Shu heard something wrong, "Oh, why?"

"Ms. Yang heard the news that Miss Lan's uncle and aunt were about to sell Miss Lan for ten taels of silver, and sold Miss Lan to a lame old man to fill in the house. Miss Lan's father and grandmother are not very good people, and they always take sides. Eldest son. Mrs. Yang was terrified, afraid that someone from over there would come and rob him, so she begged in a panic, and was anxious to tell her daughter about his family first. My boss, although the matter sounds bad, but if my boss is willing to marry the steward , the matter can be resolved. After all, the Lan family separated early on, and since the incident of robbing the shop has broken off, the Yang family can definitely make decisions about their daughter's marriage."

Shopkeeper Pan knew it well.What Yang lacked was a backer.If the boss here is willing to tell Miss Lan to the steward below, Mrs. Yang will be more rigid in her words, and she doesn't have to worry about the people over there coming to snatch her.She dared to mention this matchmaker because firstly, Lan Yuan was indeed a good girl, secondly, Lan Yuan's troubles could be solved with a flick of a finger for her boss, and thirdly, her boss was anxious to make love to the steward.Adding up these three reasons, even if the boss looked down on Lan Yuan, he would not take his anger out on her.

Looking at Lan Yuan's appearance and figure, and the shopkeeper Pan's evaluation of Lan Yuan's character, Qing Shu was a little moved.However, it is Wu Guanshi who marries a wife, and Wu Guanshi must like it.She pondered for a while, and said, "Treasurer Pan, please pay attention to the affairs of the Lan family. I will send Manager Wu over tomorrow when I go back. At that time, you will make arrangements and find a way for Manager Wu and Miss Lan to meet. .As the saying goes, twisted melons are not sweet. Husband and wife, if you don’t see each other, how will you live your life?”
