Chapter 52 (3) Coincidence of true love

It turned out that the scene in the Yaowang Temple was a plan that Wang Renzao had made with the brothel. He tricked Qiaojie into the temple, bought incense under the pretext, and looked for "Aunt Wu" who had a good date, pointing out that she had a crush on Qiaojie. , He collected a sum of money from a bustard in the brothel in the outer courtyard, then turned around and left, pushed his niece into the kang with one hand, and went to find fun by himself. Sister Qiao was stuffed into a sedan chair for two hired outside the temple, and carried all the way to a winding alley. When the sedan chair landed, Sister Qiao was led down by the woman. When she looked up, there was a pink plaque with three words on the door, which said "Jinxiangyuan".

When I entered the courtyard, I saw that there were some ugly men and young women with heavy make-up inside, and there was a lot of pipa playing and singing, and the sound of nasty laughter.Sister Qiao was stunned", knowing that this was not a good place, she burst into tears and called "Auntie" to find her uncle to go home. The "auntie" raised her hand and slapped her hard, and said in her mouth: "Your uncle sold you to me as a servant girl, and he took the five hundred snowflake silver away. What home did you go back to?! If you say this again, you will be beaten to death." you!"

Qiaojie was so frightened that she knelt down and cried for mercy.The woman ordered her to go into a hut. From then on, sister Qiao never saw a relative again. But he said that Ping'er was at home, waiting for sister Qiao to come back, until it was dark and the sun was gone, and there was no sign of her. She was so flustered that she had to go back and forth to Mrs. Xing.Unexpectedly, Mrs. Xing insisted: "I haven't seen any Wang Renlai. It must be a trick planned by you to harm my granddaughter! Get it back for me as soon as possible, and you will pay for the loss of this child!"

Ping'er had no choice but to send people to look for Wang Ren overnight.Where is his ghost shadow, the family said that he has not come home for a long time. Ping'er was so anxious that he went to the back porch to call Brother Yun and his wife, Xiaohong, and told him what had happened.After hearing this, the two of them knew it was ominous, so they had to comfort Ping'er, saying that they would go early in the morning and must search for their whereabouts and come back. There are tens of thousands of people in the nine cities of the capital, where can we find clues? I don't know how long it has passed, but there is no news.

But it is said that Laiwang's son, the owner's house is run-down, but he is even more unattended. He makes a group of cronies and hangs out in the fireworks alley every day.I don't want to be dragged to Jinxiangyuan by a prostitute friend today.The whoring friend is very familiar with the bustard, and the bustard came to receive him in person.While talking, I couldn't help but ask if there are any new Peugeots?The bustard said: "Why not? A young child is very talented and ingenious. Because she is still young, I taught her to play and sing a little song first. In less than half a year, her pipa has shocked the old experts in Goulan and our department. If you don't believe me, I'll ask her to serve you a new piece of music."

A little girl was ushered in. She was pink, glossy, and dressed in new bright red clothes. She didn't speak or smile when she saw anyone, and she only saluted.Sit on a small stool at the side, mobilize the four silk strings of the phoenix tail in sandalwood groove, and the pipa inlaid with clouds and treasures... When Laiwang's son saw this woman's description, he couldn't help being surprised, and thought, isn't this just like our second grandma?How strange!Could it be that Sister Qiao's child will come to this place? ! This piece of pipa stunned the boys, the woman pulled back her face, hugged the pipa, bowed again, and exited.So they asked all over the place, where did you get this beauty?But your - a cash cow!Last name?Where are you from? ...how did you get it?Unlike children from poor families....

The bustard said: "This child was sold by Wang's family. I heard she called him uncle. Later, when I asked her, she said his surname was Jia, but refused to say anything else. Lai Wanger heard this and slapped the table, startling everyone. , hurriedly asked what's the matter? He was surprised and sighed and said: This is the daughter of the second master Lian of Rongguo Mansion! Everyone was startled.The bustard hurriedly warned, everyone, don't make any noise, I'm afraid this matter has something to do with it. Although Laiwang's son is not a man of integrity, he has also received kind treatment and favor from Jia Lian and his wife. Selling to a brothel is not a good feeling.Leaving Jinxiangyuan, I went to Rongfu to visit Miss Ping'er on the way, and secretly reported the matter.I don't want to meet Jia Yun at the top of the road.He hurriedly stepped forward and saluted, saying that Erye Yun has always been good!Where are you going?

Jia Yun talked about her daily search for Qiaojie's whereabouts, and asked, "You also followed your grandparents. Now that you have established your own family, why don't you show any kindness and do your best to help?" Visit and visit? After hearing this, Laiwang's son grabbed Jia Yun's sleeve and looked around for no one who had passed by. Then he quietly told Jia Yun everything he had just seen and heard, and said, "I'm about to visit the second master. Go to the house and report." After Jia Yun heard what he said, she was like a thunderbolt, praised Laiwang's son a few words, and if she wanted him to help in the future, she hurriedly turned around and went home. She didn't dare to tell Ping'er explicitly, and she decided to come to the neighbor Ni Er The family asked him for advice on how to do this.

After Ni Er listened to Jia Yun's secret talk, he first scolded, "Another uncle who is not human! I am so angry that I have settled down here." Then he said: "You just call Wang's son and tell him to ask the old bustard of Jinxiangyuan, Hua If you redeem that girl with money, you won’t lose anything to her. If she doesn’t want to make things difficult, I, Ni Er, have a friend who will settle the score with her, and I’m sure she won’t refuse!”
