Old Mrs. Zhao remembers He Zhaofeng's name, the second son of the He family, the richest man in the city. What's the matter with such a noble man coming to find a grandson?
Old Mrs. Zhao immediately stood up from the stone stool by the river.
Gillian also wanted to go to the county yard to find an official. Old Mrs. Zhao took her hand and called Guo Xing in the shed across the river to ask Guo Xing to run errands. Gillian's appearance was too eye-catching and was not suitable for going to the yamen. Besides, she was not as quick as Guo Xing.
When Guo Xing left, Gillian followed Mrs. Zhao back.
Guests came to the Zhao family, and many people came out to watch the fun. They saw two carriages parked in front of the Zhao family. A pair of masters and servants stood under the shade of the big trees in front of the Zhao family. Another carriage was hung with curtains, which were covered tightly, so they could not see the situation inside.
The weather was hot, and He Zhaofeng was shaking the folding fan in his hand. Seeing the two of them rushing over the entrance of the alley, one of them was the beautiful little lady who had left before. He Zhaofeng guessed the identity of Mrs. Zhao.
He Zhaofeng was sincerely grateful and admired Zhao Yanping. He was very polite to Mrs. Zhao and greeted him from afar.
In the eyes of Mrs. Zhao, He Zhaofeng was a living God of Wealth with a golden light, and he smiled and invited the master and servant inside.
He Zhaofeng nodded, and then ordered the driver of the second carriage to lead the car into the Zhao family's yard, but the first carriage did not move.
Old Mrs. Zhao couldn't help but wonder, was the second carriage filled with expensive gifts? He Erye was afraid that the neighbors would be jealous, so he wanted to pull the car into the yard before unloading the goods?
Not only Mrs. Zhao, but also the neighbors who came out to watch the fun nearby, including the newly-produced scholar's mother, Jin, were staring at the second carriage, full of speculations. In order to show off her grandson's ability, Mrs. Zhao showed off how many times the case was in solving Zhao Yanping in the Mansion City. Everyone knows who He Erye is.
Everyone moved to the yard. Old Mrs. Zhao asked Gillian to make tea first. She closed the door casually, blocking the neighbors' peeping vision.
He Zhaofeng then pointed to the second carriage and whispered to Old Mrs. Zhao: "Old lady, Brother Zhao asked me to pay attention to the news about Miss Xiangyun for him. Brother Zhao has saved me. Since I left Brother Zhao, I have been determined to find my sister for Brother Zhao, hoping to repay Brother Zhao's kindness. Hard work pays off. In the past nine months, I have found two women suspected of Miss Xiangyun. Today I will bring them here and ask you to identify them with Brother Zhao."
Old Mrs. Zhao was shocked and looked at the carriage in disbelief.
Xiangyun, is it really Xiangyun? Her only granddaughter Xiangyun is back?
Although the grandson never gave up, Mrs. Zhao was desperate early and now told her that her granddaughter might be back. Mrs. Zhao's eyes burst into tears, and tears couldn't help falling down, and she walked towards the carriage in a daze.
He Zhaofeng held one of the old lady Zhao's arms and arrived in front of the carriage. He Zhaofeng said to the carriage with a complicated expression: "Please get off the car, two girls."
The coachman has already set up the horse stool and picked up the curtain from the side.
Old Mrs. Zhao wiped her eyes and stared at it vigorously.
The curtain was opened to reveal the situation inside. Two beautiful women sat side by side, the one on the left was wearing a white skirt and the one on the right was wearing a green skirt. They were both around twenty years old, both beautiful like flowers and jade, as if two fairies suddenly descended to the Zhao family. Old Mrs. Zhao was stunned and rubbed her eyes. She felt that the girl with an oyster-faced white skirt was a little like her daughter-in-law Liu, while the girl with a phoenix-eyed green skirt looked more like the Zhao family, and the men in the Zhao family were all phoenix-eyed.
What does granddaughter Xiangyun look like?
Old Mrs. Zhao couldn't remember it clearly, but she remembered that her granddaughter was a beauty.
The two beauties got out of the car and saw that Mrs. Zhao staring at them intently. The beauties in white dress cried and pounced on Mrs. Zhao's arms, calling their grandmother with sobs. The beauties in green dress stood with their eyes down, as if they were quite restrained.
Gillian came out to make tea and saw that there were two beauties in the yard all at once, so she was also stunned.
He Zhaofeng asked Old Lady Zhao: "Can you recognize who is Miss Xiangyun?"
Old Mrs. Zhao couldn't recognize her, but the girl in white dress cried as soon as she saw her. Maybe it was?
He Zhaofeng is not as simple as Old Lady Zhao. Before he found these two girls, they were in a very pitiful situation. No one can say whether they were real Xiangyun Girls or pretending to be Xiangyun Girls in order to get out of the predicament. He Zhaofeng has been in the crowd of women for so many years and knows how good women can act.
"Since the old lady is not sure, then wait until Brother Zhao comes back before talking. Let's go to the main hall to talk first." He Zhaofeng said.
Old Mrs. Zhao nodded. Because the beauty in the white dress was too sticky to her, Old Mrs. Zhao held her hand affectionately.
Gillian also guessed a few points from He Zhaofeng's words.
She silently observed the two beauties, hoping that one of them was Miss Xiangyun so that the official and his sister could be reunited.
Two quarters of an hour later, Zhao Yanping came back from the yamen quickly. He only asked He Zhaofeng for help. Zhao Yanping subconsciously felt that He Zhaofeng's arrival today would be related to his sister Xiangyun.
He tied the rope and got off the horse, pushed the door open and entered.
The gate was directly opposite the main hall. Zhao Yanping could see clearly the situation in the main hall at a glance. Seeing two strange women inside, Zhao Yanping's heartbeats faster. He turned around and closed the door, stood there for a moment before walking inside.
Before He Zhaofeng could salute him, he went to cry and shouted that Old Mrs. Zhao was rushing out for the woman in white dress in a white dress, and rushed into Zhao Yanping's arms while calling for her brother.
Zhao Yanping held her shoulder in time.
The woman in white dress raised her head and looked at him with tears: "Don't my brother recognize me anymore? I'm Xiangyun!"
Zhao Yanping looked at this beautiful face and couldn't find any familiar feeling. He was only nine years old when his sister was lost. More than ten years have passed. What else can he remember?
"Are you really Xiangyun?" Zhao Yanping asked in a complicated mood.
The girl in the white dress nodded in tears.
At this moment, the beautiful woman in the green skirt standing beside He Zhaofeng also took two steps towards this side, and looked at Zhao Yanping nervously and said, "Captain Zhao is it? My name is Qiuyue. I don't remember much about my childhood. I only remember that Zhang Guaizi sold me to a man's teeth. Later, the master named Qiuyue. A few days ago, Mr. He asked me about it and said that I might be your sister and took me back to recognize my relatives. The old lady can't remember it. Look, am I your sister?"
Upon hearing this, Zhao Yanping couldn't help but let go of the hand holding the beauty in the white dress.
The beauty in the white dress felt disappointed and turned to Qiuyue and cried, "You can't remember it, why do you still come to steal my family from me? Although I have forgotten a lot of things, I remember that my surname is Zhao, and it was my second uncle who sold me to Zhang Guaizi..."
Qiuyue looked directly at her and said, "The second master revealed these clues when he was looking for someone. How do we know if you remember them all the time or pretend to remember them on purpose?"
The beauty in the white dress angrily: "You..."
"Okay, stop talking." He Zhaofeng suddenly scolded.
The beauty in the white dress was obviously afraid of him and finally didn't dare to say anything.
He Zhaofeng told them two: "You wait in the yard first, Brother Zhao, old lady, let's talk inside."
Zhao Yanping nodded.
Gillian also wanted to hear what Mr. He said. She looked at the official in anticipation, hoping that the official would call her with her.
Zhao Yanping's eyes met her, but ordered: "Guo Xing is back soon. Go to the door and wait, let him buy fish, buy two kilograms of meat, and entertain the second master at noon."
Gillian had to wait at the door.
In the main hall, Mrs. Zhao and Zhao Yanping sat aside. He Zhaofeng looked at the two and whispered to introduce the origin of the two girls.
When he found out the whereabouts of the two girls, the beauty in white dress was named Danrong, who was one of the famous prostitutes in a brothel in Luoyang. She was twenty years old this year. However, the brothels would deliberately say the age of the prostitutes. I am afraid that the madam could not tell the clues clearly. After all, the madam was also bought from other places, and the other party might not have told the truth.
The woman in the green skirt is named Qiuyue. She claims to be twenty-one years old. She has been cultivated in Yangzhou since she was a child. When she was fifteen, she was bought by Mr. Deng, a wealthy businessman from Xiangyang, spent a lot of money. Later, she was given to others by Mr. Deng. She became the singer in the mansion of Mr. Hu in the mansion in the city. He Zhaofeng went to the Hu mansion to be a guest. Seeing that Qiuyue's eyebrows and eyes were similar to Zhao Yanping, she sent someone to investigate and found that Qiuyue was sold to Yangzhou by Zhang Kuaizi.
Of course, He Zhaofeng also checked Danrong's origin and sold it from Zhang Guaizi.
There are many kidnaps in the world, but the surname is Zhang and the lame one should not be many.
After various verifications, He Zhaofeng believed that Danrong and Qiuyue were Miss Xiangyun, and after being somewhat sure, he sent the person over to Zhao Yanping to distinguish.
However, both of them had miserable experiences, one worked as a prostitute in a brothel, and the other was sent by men.
Zhao Yanping sat down with his eyes down, his face turned pale and his hands were already clenched into iron fists.
Old Mrs. Zhao kept crying. She felt that one of the two girls must be Xiangyun. No matter which one, it was too miserable.
He Zhaofeng could understand the feelings of his grandparents and grandchildren. He pondered: "Brother Zhao, Zhang Guaizi has done a lot of evil, no one knows how many girls he has sold, Danrong and Qiuyue may be the girl Xiangyun, or it may be just two other poor women. Brother Zhao solved the case like a god. Even if he can't tell it out for the time being, he will definitely have a result in time."
Zhao Yanping nodded and stood up to bow to him: "The Second Master Lao has been bothering, and he will not thank him for his kindness. What will the Second Master do to do in the future? Zhao will let the order."
"What is Brother Zhao doing?" He Zhaofeng hurriedly held up his hand and said, "Without Brother Zhao helping me first, I would not have done enough for Brother Zhao today. If you thank me or not, you will be spared. Don't be polite to anyone. I'm going to have to go back to the city, but I'm not going to delay it in the house. This is a good document I have for them. I will hand it over to the official. If one of them is Miss Xiangyun, the other Brother Zhao will decide to stay or leave. There is no need to know me again. If neither of them is Miss Xiangyun, the person will still be handled by Brother Zhao. Then Brother Zhao will send me a message and I will continue to ask for the whereabouts of Miss Xiangyun for Brother Zhao."
Zhao Yanping held up the two good documents and found that He Zhaofeng had given the two daughters the surname Zhao, and the heads of the family were all him. According to He Zhaofeng's intention, if it was finally proved that neither of the two daughters was Xiangyun, only he was qualified to deal with the two women.
Zhao Yanping bowed to He Zhaofeng again.
He Zhaofeng smiled, patted his shoulder, and went out.
As soon as he came out, Danrong and Qiuyue looked at him.
He Zhaofeng looked back at them with a meaningful look.
It is time to explain to Danrong and Qiuyue. He Zhaofeng has already explained to him on the way here. Even if the two girls are lying and pretending to be Zhao Xiangyun, as long as they work hard in the Zhao family, He Zhaofeng will regard it as good things and redeem them for nothing. But if the two pretend to be Zhao Xiangyun and do evil in the Zhao family, He Zhaofeng will definitely make them live worse than before.
"Brother Zhao stays there, and I will invite Brother Zhao to have a drink if I have the chance in the future."
