There are many unexpected things in the world.But there are too many things like this.Yanxi was thinking all the way in the car, this is really strange, the Leng family didn't ask for someone from the Jin family, instead the whole family left.She never abducted my money, and I didn't want her to divorce, so why did I do this?That's right, it must be because I was afraid that I would return to the child, so I took him to hide.In fact, I am only twenty years old, how can I worry about not having children?You just take it with you, I don't care about it at all.to the house.After getting off the car, he went straight to the room, and in the yard outside Mrs. Jin's house, he yelled, "Do you think this is strange? The whole Leng family has fled. I really don't understand, what is this for?" , while walking into the house, the straw hat was never taken off.He copied the hem of the gown with both hands, and sat down on the rattan chair.Mrs. Jin was sitting in the room, thinking about this incident silently, and she was also surprised when she heard him yelling in from outside.When he walked into the room, he sat down calmly, looked at him and said, "Is what you said true?" Yanxi clapped her hands and said, "Of course it is true. Could it be that for no reason, I would still Tell such a big lie?" Mrs. Jin said: "Since it is true, I will make it a strange story. The marriage of the two of you, if you say you want to leave, she also says you want to leave, no one is in the way You don’t avoid her, why would she avoid you? Are you still afraid that the Jin family will surround her?” Yanxi said: “I guessed the same way, this matter is very strange. I wanted to inquire in front of the neighbors, but I was afraid that there would be too many traces, so I ran back and reported to you first. I planned to ask Jin Rong to go around the alley and inquire carefully. If she escaped, I don’t think there is any other intention. It’s nothing more than being reluctant to leave that child behind.” Mrs. Jin frowned and thought about it: “Unless that’s the case, but it’s not possible.” Yanxi said: “I really can’t guess there are other reasons for this. Mrs. Jin took a string of Buddhist beads hanging on the wishful nails, and held them in her hands, one by one, pinching them from front to back, sitting with lowered eyebrows, just in a trance.After a long time, he nodded to Yanxi and said, "This method works. You can ask Jin Rong to inquire about it and have a try." Yanxi said, "It's not too late. Let him go right away." go outside.Mrs. Jin said: "Don't worry, you called him here too, let me teach him a few words." Yanxi just walked out, where did he hear his mother's last two words?He has been walking back to his study.

That day, Jin Rong got Yanxi's order to inquire around Luohua Hutong and didn't come back until after seven o'clock in the evening.Yanxi had already walked outside the gate by herself, waiting for him two or three times.Jin Rong came home, and he knew that Yanxi could not be too impatient, so he kept reporting to his room.Seeing his worried face, Yanxi guessed that something was wrong, so he rushed to ask first: "How, have they prepared any means to deal with us?" Jin Rong shook his head and said, "That's out of the question." " Yanxi said: "Why can't we talk about it? Could it be that they have more powerful means?" Jin Rong said: "It's not that they are more powerful. The Seventh Young Mistress probably... passed away." When Jin Rong said this, he also Inevitably, my throat choked up.Yanxi was taken aback. She was sitting on the rattan chair, but she stood up suddenly and asked Jin Rong, "What's going on? Don't you just ask me?" Jin Rong said: "How can I inquire about this kind of news? I ran all day for this. I first ran to Luohua Alley, stood there, and chatted with the driver. They seemed to know something. Seeing me like this, I was inquiring about news. Yes, they dare not talk nonsense. They only said that Leng’s family has moved to the countryside. As for how to move to the countryside and what kind of countryside they live in, they don’t know. Then I took a risk and waited until someone from the south door came out to open the door. , I stepped forward and bowed to them. When I looked up, I realized that I had been duped. Ganqing was a twelve or thirteen-year-old girl. But speaking of it, I still did not do this ceremony in vain." Yanxi With a straight face, he said: "If you want to say it, just say it. Why do you go around such a big detour? Say it quickly." Jin Rong said: "The girl is a child, but she is straightforward. I just asked where the Leng family moved next door. She asked me back, the lady of their family jumped into the river, do you know? I asked where she jumped into the river? She said that she jumped into the river outside the city, and the Leng family cried all day." Yanxi said: " What do children know? How do you ask children for information on such an important matter?" Jin Rong said: "I think so too. But children don't know the seriousness, and they won't tell lies for no reason. So I asked After seeing the little girl, I smiled at the little girl again, and asked her who was in her family? She said she had parents. I told her that it was sent by the relatives of the Leng family, and asked her father to come out and meet. That person I came out, but it was a small job. I heard that we were inquiring about the news in the house, and I was willing to report it. According to him, he really heard that the women of the Leng family cried for two nights, got up early, and moved away. Let them It was rumored by my old mother that Miss Leng's family jumped into the river outside the city. When I heard that, I felt very sad and almost burst into tears. I couldn't bear to continue to question you carefully. When that person goes to visit, you can ask him face to face." Hearing this, Yanxi sat in a daze, unable to make a sound for a long time, reclined on a wicker chair, with her left leg resting on her right leg and kept bumping.Jin Rong stood in front of him, it was not good to go, and it was not good not to go, and he was just in a daze.Yanxi sighed and said, "The news is getting worse and worse. What can I do? I have to report to the old lady and see what she says. I hope the news is not true." She said. He stood up and walked up the room.Although it was inconvenient for Jin Rong to follow, he also knew that Mrs. Jin would definitely come to question her after she got the news, so she stood outside the study and waited.

Sure enough, within thirty minutes, Second Sister Chen came out and called, saying that it was the old lady who had called for questioning.Jin Rong followed to the upper room. Mrs. Jin and the three young ladies were sitting in the corridor to enjoy the shade, and their eye circles were all red.Seeing this, Jin Rong knew that the reported news was enough to make his wife sad, so he stood far away, not daring to go over to disturb him.Mrs. Jin wiped her eyes with a handkerchief and said, "According to Master Qi, you have been to Leng's house. Is the news true from your inquiring?" .If it is not true, why did you report it indiscriminately?After hesitating for a while, I said: "I have inquired about it in several places, and they all said the same. But I have never met any of the people in Mrs. Seven's family, so how do I know if this is reliable or not?" Mrs. Jin said: "Didn't you hear where it is outside the city?" Jin Rong said, "I heard it came out of Xizhimen." Minzhi heard this, nodded and said, "That's it." Mrs. Jin saw her look , looked at her and said: "Do you still know what is the reason here?" Minzhi said: "I am just guessing like this, who dares to say that it must be like this. Qingqiu used to tell me that Kunming Lake in Yuquan Mountain A good water vein, if you want to die, you’d better die there. I also laughed and said, no matter how good the place is, it’s not a good death after death. She refuted me for a while, saying that death is a word of death Forget it, what else is there to die? Besides, many wise people have died in the water since ancient times. Qu Yuan and Li Taibai have talked a lot, but I don’t know. Although I knew she was a kind of The complaints and comments are very strange, so I keep them in my heart. Now, when I cite the facts, it is quite credible." Mrs. Jin took a small plantain fan in her hand, and slowly put it on her chest. The wind blows in front of you.Nodding her head, she said: "That's quite reasonable. She's the kind of person who can do this kind of thing." Yanxi said, "If it's true, there's no problem. Tomorrow, I'll You can go out of the city to investigate by yourself. If she ends up like this, you don’t need to mention all the previous things. I would like to take out the money I got personally and deal with the aftermath with her.” Min Zhi looked at him, thinking With a little sneer, but immediately put away the smile, he said to him: "Oh! If something unfortunate happens to her, you have to take out the money and deal with the aftermath with her. If she doesn't have such What kind of thing, then, you still don't care about her business?" Yanxi first glanced at Mrs. Jin, and saw that Mrs. Jin's color was still the same as usual.Then Xiang Min Zhigong cupped his hands and said: "I really can't stand what you say. I seem to want her to die on purpose. After she dies, I will give her a good time and be a good person, right? Min Zhi said: "Whether it is true or not, how do I know? But when you speak by yourself, you can't take care of some things before and after, and you are showing your flaws. My surname is not Leng, and I am not Qingqiu's cousin, she has gone far away Now, can I still help her and tell you what you can't do?" Min Zhi became more and more anxious as he spoke, and his face turned red at the end.Mrs. Jin said: "Why do you say that this kind of person does it? He has his own ideas, and others say that it is in vain. It is a waste of effort. What good does he know?" Min Zhi looked down at the ground, He just sneered and didn't say anything more.Although Yanxi felt that Minzhi's color and words were a little too harsh, but with his mother in front of him, it seemed that he would not help him.If you want to defend two more sentences, it is nothing more than another dispute.I had no choice but to say lazily: "I just admit my mistake, what can I say?" As he spoke, he walked out.At this time, the news that Jin Rong brought had spread throughout the whole family.No matter what kind of relationship with Qingqiu, after hearing this sentence, they will feel sad for a while.Such a person would end up with such a result.In addition, she brought a child with her. This child was only two or three months old, and it was a very sinful thing to suffer such an unreasonable sacrifice after following her mother.So everyone started talking again.This kind of words, of course, inevitably spread to Yanxi's ears. Although he is confident that he will not take responsibility for Qingqiu's life, he always feels a little uneasy when everyone is talking about it. If he doesn't express his condolences, it will It made others more suspicious.

I had this idea in my heart, and the next day, when I got up early in the morning, I asked Jin Rong to tell Dehai to drive out of Dacheng.Because Jin Rong's complexion was not very good-looking, and he got out of bed, he didn't think about it at all, so he told him to drive out of the city, as if he had made up his mind all night, that there might be another accident, so he had to report it to the old lady.So in front of Yanxi, despite agreeing, he stepped out of the study and immediately went to the upper room to report to Mrs. Jin.I yelled first through the window.Mrs. Jin was inside the screened window, and when she saw Jin Rong hurried in from the outside, she knew in her heart that he must have something important to report.In the room, he agreed: "If you have anything to say, just say it." Jin Rong looked back, but he didn't dare to say it out loud, and walked to the window before whispering: "Look, Ma'am, Qi Ye got up early in the morning, didn't mention anything, and was about to rush out of the big city. I don't think his face looks very good. You can call him in and ask him a few words." Mrs. Jin said: "He wants What do you mean by going out of the city?" Then he said: "This kid is so capricious in his work, it's a bit of a joke! Call him in." Jin Rong was eager to call Yanxi in.Mrs. Jin asked, "Where are you planning to go when you leave Dacheng so early in the morning?" Yanxi said, "I want to go and see Yuquan Mountain in the Summer Palace. Are there any traces? If something happens there, the local people will know about it." Mrs. Jin said: "You are alone, and you may not be able to achieve any results. I think Feng Ju can go with you, and Li Sheng can go too. There are some places where you are not willing to be humble to ask questions. You can ask questions." Let Li Sheng ask someone." Yanxi had nothing to say about this method, so he agreed to it by the way.Mrs. Jin asked him to wait in the house, and asked Second Sister Chen to call Feng Ju.Feng Ju never came, but Mei Li came first.As soon as he saw Yanxi, he said, "I came to mother's house early in the morning. Is there any news to report?" Yanxi said, "I'm planning to go out of the city to find news." So he told her what he meant.Meili said happily: "I too..." After only two words, she looked back at Mrs. Jin's color, and Mrs. Jin said: "He's not going to play, what are you going to do?" Meili Said: "I'm not going to play with you either. To be honest, I'm more anxious about Sister Qingqiu than Brother Seven." Yanxi said: "Then why?" Meili said: "I have feelings for her. Very good. For example, at this time, sister Xiuzhu will have troubles, are you not in a hurry?" Seeing that Mrs. Jin was looking at Meili with a slight smile on her face, Yanxi didn't dare to say anything, and only said with a light smile. Two words of nonsense.Mrs. Jin stared blankly at Yanxi's face, as if she meant that what Mei Li said was right.Yanxi stood up and looked out the window and said, "Isn't elder brother up yet? Why can't you invite me?" Feng Ju wore a long gown, buttoned it all the way in, and asked, "I heard that you will arrive early in the morning. Going to Xishan, why is that?" Mrs. Jin said: "It's not going to Xishan, Yanxi is happy, he's going to find out about Qingqiu's whereabouts." Yin told him.Fengju said: "I guessed that I was going, so I simply put on long clothes and came out." Mei Li said: "I want to go too, okay?" Fengju said: "As long as Mom lets you go, I don't object. Otherwise, this is not going to play..." Meili said: "Who is going to play? After my father passed away, only sister Yufen took me to Beihai, I really don't want it Let's play." Yanxi also knew that Meili said she would go, but she couldn't refuse, so she agreed.Meili looked at Mrs. Jin's color, and she didn't seem to want to hinder her, so she hurried back to her room to change her clothes and shoes before going out, and went to Yanxi's study to wait.

After a while, Fengju came out, and the three of them got in a car and headed straight for the Summer Palace.Those who manage the Summer Palace have never accepted tickets for the Jin family. Now that Prime Minister Kim has passed away, he can't save himself by asking for tickets.The three of them entered the gate, and without thinking, they went straight to the edge of Kunming Lake in the front mountain.Of course, in this magnificent scenery, the landscape palace, everything remains the same, and there is no trace of any accident.Li Sheng followed them, followed them through the long corridor, and said: "Master, let's find someone to inquire about it first." Feng Ju said: "Is this a matter of face? How can we ask people nonsense? For a respectable family, some family members will run away or throw themselves into the water, speaking of which, where are you going to put your face?" Li Sheng didn't dare to make a sound when he hit the wall, and followed behind silently.Mei Li said: "If you don't inquire, why are we here?" Feng Ju frowned and said: "Don't yell! Don't yell! Slowly and naturally you can find out." Mei Li said: "It's not like you can't treat people. Why don't you yell about things you said? Even if we can't tell people, we have investigated it ourselves, is there anything they don't know?" Feng Ju sighed, frowning and looked at the little girl , no more.Yanxi said: "You guys are really willing to argue. Now that you are in this kind of place, you still have to talk about right and wrong." At the end of the long corridor, under Paiyun Hall, there is a waterside pavilion facing Kunming Lake, and a teahouse opened.The two waiters in white clothes saw that the two men and one woman had a somewhat luxurious appearance, followed by a footman, who was clearly a first-class young master and young lady.They all ran out to greet each other with smiles, please go inside to rest.Because Feng Ju was near the water, he happened to inquire about the news, so he went in together.Everyone sat down, and Li Sheng was also sitting on the railing of the corridor outside.The waiter was flustered for a while, and sat aside from a distance.Feng Ju first asked if there is anything to eat here?The waiter said: "Only make dim sum." Feng Ju said: "The weather is hot now, and there are many people shopping here, why don't you prepare some?" A waiter came over and stood by the corner of the table, as if very solemn Yes, half-bowed and smiled: "You don't know, although there are a little more people shopping these two days, in fact, there are not more than 80 people who come here a day. The first is too far from the city, and the second ticket is too expensive. It's one yuan a piece, how can it be as crowded as Central Park in the city? We are a small business, how can we dare to prepare too much?" Feng Ju saw that the man was in his thirties, with a tattoo on his arm and a tattoo on his head. A handful of hair, combed back smooth.Yin nodded with a smile and said, "Where did I meet you, but I can't remember it for a while." The waiter said: "I have been in a cleansing bathhouse in the city for three years." That's it." The waiter said with a smile: "Sir, your surname is Jin, right?" Feng raised his head and said, "My surname is Jin, how do you know?" The waiter said: "I used to serve the uncle to take a bath, now I remember Yes. Do you have time to come here today?" Feng Ju nodded and snorted.In the tea room, he wanted to show hospitality, took the teapot on the table, poured tea into everyone's cups, and then stepped aside.As a waiter, when the customer is not talking to him, it is naturally inconvenient for him to interrupt for no reason, so he stands quietly by the side.Meili looked at it, but was a little anxious.I thought to myself, I had a very speculative talk with that waiter, and I happened to ask for news, why didn't I say anything?Thinking of this in her heart, she couldn't stop looking at Fengju, then at Yanxi.Yanxi understood what she meant, and she couldn't bear it any longer, so she said to the waiter, "You know everything, you know, but you are very good at inquiring about information." Who doesn’t know the famous family here?” Yanxi took a sip of tea, smiled, looked at the vast white water of Kunming Lake, and asked casually: “Is the water in this lake deep? "The waiter said: "There are shallow places, and there are deep places." Yanxi said: "If a person falls down, is it dangerous?" The waiter smiled and said: "Deep places are naturally dangerous." Yanxi still Casting his eyes on the lake, he asked casually: "If someone throws himself into the river here, the place is big, the water is deep, and there is no one to rescue him, he will never survive." , Mei Li looked at the waiter, waiting for his reply.The waiter smiled and said: "That's not it!" The waiter also replied very casually, but with his words, everyone immediately became nervous.Yanxi couldn't help asking: "Is there really such a thing?" The waiter said with a smile: "There is no such thing, why do you ask about it?" Feng Ju also interjected: "You are a joke. You Thinking, if you come here, you still need to buy a one-dollar ticket, who wants to die, come here to throw himself into the lake so leisurely?" The waiter continued, "No!" Mei Li sat on the side , I glanced at Fengju and thought, are you still asking for news?Or does it prove that the news is not true?I just asked for some news, but you said that there is absolutely no such thing.Feng Ju looked at Mei Li's expression, but he had other concerns.He thought there was such a thing, but when he said there was no such thing, the waiter would definitely refute it.If there is no such thing, the words will be covered up, so as not to show the horse's feet.Now the waiter really said no, so he fell silent.He didn't make a sound, Meili couldn't make a sound, and Yanxi also sipped tea and looked at the lake in a daze.However, I came here from a long distance, and I didn't want to know the truth, so I went back vaguely like this, and I was a little unwilling.Yin pretended to be very casual and asked: "A few days ago, there seemed to be such a social news in the newspaper. It must be a rumor?" Yi Ting said: "I heard it too, the news is not fake." His words didn't matter, not only did the three people present frighten their hearts to jump wildly, even Li Sheng who was standing outside the waterside pavilion also changed his expression. Stepped into the pavilion and said: "Is there such a thing?" Feng Ju was also startled when he heard this.Mei Li also couldn't help asking: "Why isn't it fake?" Seeing that everyone paid attention to this matter, the waiter was a little puzzled.After looking at everyone, he said slowly: "I don't know if it's true or not. Before and after Longevity Hill, some people said that there was a person in Yuquan Mountain who threw himself into the river. After two days, it was published in the newspaper, saying that it was in Kunming Lake. What happened is actually not." Yanxi said: "Oh! What happened to Yuquan Mountain, don't you know what kind of person it is?" The waiter said: "I heard it was a young woman." It doesn't matter what he said, Everyone's faces changed.

Just as he was about to ask questions, a man came running from a distance, stood outside the pavilion, looked Li Sheng over, and asked, "Are you from the Jin family?" Everyone was surprised when they heard this.The man said: "You have a call from your house, please answer it, and say that it is something important." Fengju said: "Is there something important?" After speaking, he walked out of the pavilion.Yanxi and Meili were both frightened. Seeing this kind of momentum, their hearts skipped a beat.They didn't ask the waiter any more, just sat facing each other like this.Everyone was eager to break through this mystery of the phone call. This kind of anxiety lasted as long as a minute, probably as long as a year.
