Chapter 463 464 Tongzhou

The days passed by, and the winter solstice passed in a blink of an eye, and we entered the cold winter. Although the winter in Kyoto is not like the heavy snowfall in Yunzhou and Tongzhou, it is no less cold than those two places. It is a bone-breaking cold. .

Aunt Song sent people to take turns guarding the Wen Pos, but they still didn't see anyone sent by the Zhou family to invite the Wen Pos.

It was a cold day, with rain and snow falling in the sky. A few people often wandered around the place where they appeared, attracting the attention of others. People with children at home were worried that they were posing for sex. The woman next door to the Liu family stepped forward and grabbed one of them. The mother-in-law asked with a blue face: "I see you have been wandering around our area several times. It's so cold. Why don't you go home and stay outside? What do you want to do?"

The mother-in-law struggled to free herself, her face flushed, "I was just passing by here, what's wrong? Why don't you allow people to pass by?"

At this time, the man from the woman's family came out and yelled at the woman, "You have been sneaking around here for a long time. Don't think I don't know. I have noticed you for a long time. There are two other young people." Those men, I think they are just showgirls, dragging her to see the officials."

The mother-in-law became anxious and said, "You are gushing blood, so be careful and walk away without eating anything."

Liu Wen's mother-in-law also came out when she heard the noise. When she saw the courtyard door of Liu Wen's house opened, she turned around and ran away.

The mother-in-law went back to find Nanny Song angrily, with a face full of grievances and complaints, "Sister Song, you see it's freezing cold here. My toes are all frozen. I wander around in these places like this every day. Is it easy for me to think of me as a philanderer and drag me to see an official?"

The more the mother-in-law spoke, the more aggrieved she became. She wiped her tears and looked at Mother Song, "Sister Song, I think what Liu Wenpo said is true. There really is a Wenpo in his family. I, I, I don't dare to do it anymore." I'm going to guard, I'm afraid I'll screw up and be blamed by my wife."

It's been so long, and I haven't been there even once. Logically speaking, I should ask Mrs. Wen to see her pregnancy! I haven't seen anyone from his family since then, and it's almost certain that he really has a stable wife.

"Wait a minute, I'll report it to Madam."

Lord Ningxiang listened to Nanny Song's report and looked at her with a sullen face, "His family already has Wen Po. Why didn't you come and report it earlier? The Zhou family learned the news and got on guard. I exposed your secret." Skin."

Mother Song was so frightened that she knelt down with a thump and kept kowtowing, "Madam, I promise not to disturb the Zhou family."

Ning Xiangjun glanced at Nanny Song, who was kowtowing in fear, and sighed, "Okay, if we keep guarding any longer, we will attract attention. Let them come back!"

As if she had been pardoned, Nanny Song got up and saluted, "Yes, madam."

Mr. Ning Xiang looked at her and said with a stern face: "After Mr. Yang brings people back, you have to be careful about the things you have to do. Don't make mistakes."

Mother Song was so frightened that she quickly knelt down and kowtowed, "Madam, don't worry, I will do my best."

"Go down!" Mr. Ning Xiang waved his hand with satisfaction.

Mr. Yang worked hard all the way, but encountered heavy snow on the road, which delayed him for half a month. He finally arrived in Tongzhou at the beginning of the twelfth lunar month.

After staying in the city for one night, I found the Tongzhou Yamen and spent some money to find two arrestees. It didn't take much effort to find Zhang Defa's residence.

Mr. Yang walked along the dirty alleyway and stood in front of the three thatched cottages. He looked at the shaky thatched cottages in front of him with satisfaction and knocked on the door.

A woman's questioning voice came from the room, "Why are you back so early?"

With a creak, the wooden door opened. Chen Zhaodi, with a gloomy face and gray hair, stood at the door, frowning, looking at the richly dressed middle-aged man in front of her, "Who are you looking for?"

Mr. Yang felt satisfied when he saw that her face was sallow and she was wearing a worn-out cotton-padded jacket. He handed over the cakes in his hand with a smile on his face, and politely asked, "Sister-in-law, is this Zhang Defa's home?"

"Thank you, sir." Chen Zhaodi hurriedly took the pastry. The aroma of the pastry filled her nostrils. Chen Zhaodi almost drooled when she smelled the fragrance. A flattering smile appeared on her face, "Sir, you're welcome. Zhang Defa is my boss. Who are you, sir?" What do you want from my boss?"

Mr. Yang cupped his hands towards her and said with a smile: "My surname is Yang, and I am from Kyoto..."

"He's from Kyoto!" Chen Zhaodi exclaimed.

"Exactly," Mr. Yang looked at Chen Zhaodi with satisfaction, "Sister-in-law, please invite Brother Zhang and your son home. I would like to invite you to a restaurant for a casual meal to discuss anything."

When Chen Zhaodi heard that they were invited to a restaurant, she couldn't help but swallowed again, thinking about the greasy meat and vegetables, "Okay, I'll go find them right now."

Mr. Yang smiled and cupped his hands and said, "I'm sorry."

"No need to bother, just a quick trip." Chen Zhaodi entered the room cheerfully, put the cake on the table, picked out a piece and stuffed it into her mouth, then ran out.

When he arrived at the place where Zhang Defa was working, he pulled Zhang Defa aside with a smile on his face and looked at him with shining eyes, "Master, there is a noble person coming to the family, and he is from Kyoto. He wants to invite us to a restaurant, and he also said that he has something to do with you. Let’s discuss it.”

"You nobleman from Kyoto, I think you are suffering from hysteria!" He scolded with a dark face.

Chen Zhaodi didn't care about Zhang Defa's attitude and was still smiling, "Master, why am I suffering from hysteria in broad daylight? If you don't believe me, just go back with me and have a look. He's still waiting at the door!"

Zhang Defa saw Chen Zhaodi's expression and felt that it didn't look like a lie, "It's best if there is someone, but no one. Today we will all stand at the door and drink the northwest wind."

Chen Zhaodi rubbed her hands and said with a smile, "If you don't drink the northwest wind, he will invite us to a restaurant."

Zhang Defa looked at Chen Zhaodi slobbering and felt a little sad for some reason, "You are several decades old, look at how greedy you are!"

Mr. Yang stood in front of the thatched cottage and looked around. He felt the biting cold wind going straight into his neck. Mr. Yang put up his scarf and felt a little more comfortable. Looking at the Zhang family with only four walls, he felt that it would be easy to capture the Zhang family. thing.

After a while, Zhang Defa followed Chen Zhaodi back. Zhang Defa squinted at Mr. Yang standing at the door. He searched in his memory and found that he had never seen this Mr. Yang.

Zhang Defa suppressed the doubts in his heart, stepped forward with a smile and cupped his hands and said, "I wonder what this brother wants to do with this little old man?"

Mr. Yang returned the favor and said, "My younger brother is coming from Kyoto. We have something to discuss. Let's go to a restaurant to eat first and talk while we eat."

Zhang Defa thought to himself: Even if he is a liar and his family is penniless, just go with him and see if something good happens!

Zhang Defa cupped his hands and said with a smile: "Sir, it's a waste of money."

"Just a light meal."

When Mr. Yang saw Zhang Defa and his parents locking the door and leaving, he asked strangely: "Where is your son Xiu Caigong? Call him too!"

Chen Zhaodi pointed to the alleyway in front, "It's at the tavern outside. Call him from there."
