Chapter 164 Looking for someone
The matter in the northwest cannot be explained clearly in a few sentences. Wen Jiuxiao stayed in the palace for a whole day, and did not leave the palace until dusk, hungry. I was thinking of going to Peach Blossom for dinner, but the minister of punishment was standing by the carriage waiting for him.
What can Wen Jiuxiao do? I had no choice but to follow him to the Ministry of Punishment. The Ministry of Punishment is brightly lit, and even the Minister of the Ministry of Punishment is waiting.
Although Shangshu Xingbu spoke very politely, Wen Jiuxiao still glanced at him several times. Why didn't he find the officials of the Ministry of Punishment to be so diligent before?
After handing over all the matters, it's already the beginning of the day.
Wen Jiuxiao looked up at the night sky. At this time, the mother and son had already fallen asleep, so Wen Jiuxiao had no choice but to give up the idea of going to Peach Blossom.
On the second day, it will be four days before Wen Jiuxiao is free to deal with the affairs of the mansion, the yamen, and the entertainment among colleagues. Excitedly, he went to the peach blossom, but a basin of cold water poured over him.
"Not here?" Could it be that the mother and son are with the father-in-law?
Although the fifth prince was registered as the crown prince, he still lives outside the palace in Prince Jin's Mansion, which was also the former Fifth Prince's Mansion.
The fifth prince went to the army when he was in his teens, and he only lives in this mansion for ten or twenty days at most every year. The fifth prince's concubine lived even less. She still entered Beijing in the year of her wedding. After that, she either became pregnant or gave birth to a child, or the child was too young to be separated from her mother. They all go back to Beijing alone.
Wearing that Jiuxiao had a heart, he didn't say he was looking for Yu Zhi, but that he was here to visit the prince.
Coincidentally, Yu Guangxian was by the prince's side, so it was inevitable to ask Yu Zhi during the conversation.
Wen Jiuxiao could only pretend to be surprised, "My son-in-law was about to ask, but she said she came to see my father-in-law, didn't she come?"
Yu Guangxian became impatient on the spot, "When did she come?"
"Four days ago." Since I can't hide it, I can only tell the truth.
"What do you mean? You lost their mother and child! She is a weak woman with a child. I entrusted their mother and child to you. Why didn't you send them here?" Yu Guangxian was so angry that he almost poked his fingers. On Wen Jiuxiao's face.
Wen Jiuxiao looked ashamed, "It's my son-in-law's negligence, my son-in-law is in a hurry to enter the palace..."
"So you left their mother and son behind?" Yu Guangxian looked at him coldly, getting angrier the more he looked. Originally, he was quite moved by his care for Zhizhi, otherwise, could he have entrusted Zhizhi and his eldest grandson to bring him to Beijing?
I didn't expect this person to be so unreliable, and he lost his daughter and grandson in a blink of an eye. Hmph, even if he has a marriage certificate, he has to reconsider their marriage carefully. "The capital is so big, they are a weak woman, a naive child, and they are not familiar with the place, if something really happens..." He didn't dare to think about it.
The prince was a little surprised as he watched his Mr. Yu complaining about him. His family, Mr. Yu, is famous for being calm. When did he ever see him so impatient? It was also the first time to reprimand others so harshly.
However, Mr. Yu's worries are a little unnecessary? With his daughter's abilities, what could happen? Even if something happened, it would be someone else who would suffer.
"...His Royal Highness, Rong Chen is going to sue for leave. I really can't rest assured. I have to find their mother and son." Yu Guangxian turned to the crown prince.
The prince naturally agreed, "Mr. Yu, don't be in a hurry. Your love is very measured. The reason why she didn't come to the door is probably because she didn't want to cause trouble for you. She will definitely come to report your safety when she is settled. People in the mansion Follow the call of the gentleman, I just think that people can go to the inn to look for it."
Yu Guangxian left in a hurry, Wen Jiuxiao didn't have time to say what was on his lips, he wanted to say, "He didn't leave their mother and son alone, there are hundreds of bodyguards and a group of Mujiazhai with them juvenile."
Looking at the back of Yu Guangxian leaving in a hurry, Wen Jiuxiao was very depressed. It was hard for him to make his father-in-law change his view of him. Now, his father-in-law probably doesn't like him even more.
The prince patted Wen Jiuxiao on the shoulder to comfort him, "Mr. is also impatient at the moment, Mr. Xiaowen, don't take Mr.'s words to heart."
Wen Jiuxiao shook his head, his father-in-law reprimanded him should be, he was too careless, he should have thought, with that woman's temperament, how could she obediently return to the peach blossom? I'm afraid he had made up his mind a long time ago, he was too careless.
"Okay, I'm afraid you're not in the mood right now, I won't keep you here, go! If you need help with anything, just come to Gu, Gu is still waiting to drink the wedding wine between you and Dong Yu's family, haha."
"Thank you, Your Highness." Wen Jiuxiao was very grateful, bowed deeply, and stepped back.
Coming out of the Prince's Mansion, Wen Jiuxiao was actually not that flustered. With so many people in Yu Zhi, they are very eye-catching no matter where they go. Isn't it hard to inquire?
However, he searched all the big and small inns in the capital for three days without finding anyone. All the inns shook their heads, they had never seen the mother and son he described, and they had never lived in so many bodyguards.
Where did that woman go? Wen Jiuxiao panicked completely, not only sent out all the people under his command, but also stopped going to the Yamen himself, and went out every day to find someone.
His mood is getting worse every day. In his sleep, Yu Zhi had an accident with the boy. After waking up, he can't sleep again. With his fingers stuck in his hair, he only has worries.
Where is Yu Zhi? She leads the little boy and Mu Qing, listening to books today, watching a play tomorrow, and going out to restaurants later, life is so chic!
She didn't hide from Wen Jiuxiao on purpose, she just didn't want to go to Peach Blossom. Even if her name was on the deed, it wasn't hers. What is she going there for? Continue to be hidden by the golden house? Or not!
Is the Prince's residence here? The prince is still fresh out of the oven, so there must be many people staring at him, what does it mean for her to come to the door recklessly with her little boy, in the eyes of caring people?
It is true that her father is in the prince's house, but her father himself is under the roof of others. If she goes to join him, isn't it the same as being under the roof of others? The days of living under the fence... Yu Zhi thinks about it, but forget it.
She had already thought about this matter when she decided to go to Beijing. Before she left, she asked someone to help her buy a house in Beijing. Who did she ask? Of course it's Zhang Xiu's wife!
Yu Zhi divided all his savings into two, gave most of his savings to Mrs. Zhang Xiu to help her buy a house, and the other half hired escorts and horses, and bought those goods. The reason why she was so focused on earning money along the way was because she had run out of money.
Of course, she still has dozens of boxes of gold, but these gold will not be able to show up for a while.
Ms. Zhang Xiu helped her buy a three-entry mansion in Guanmao Lane, and bought a big yard in Jinyu Lane three streets away. This big courtyard is also as big as Sanjin, but it only costs seven hundred taels. The same house next to it has been sold for several thousand taels. Why is the asking price for this big courtyard so low?
Because this is a haunted house, it has been hanging for several years and no one cares about it.
Ms. Zhang Xiu thought that after Yu Zhi came to Beijing, she might open a flower shop, and this big courtyard could just be used to build a flower house, so she decided to buy it.
As for the haunted house or the haunted house, is it as fierce as Zhizhi's sister?
With such two big houses, does the bodyguard still need to stay in the inn? Wen Jiuxiao naturally couldn't find anyone.
