Chapter 65 Father Jiang is missing
Jiusu raised an eyebrow and looked at the busy people in the room. She shrugged and said, "First, you have to learn. Also, you have to go find grapes. From what I've observed, grapes should be very expensive fruits, right? I'm afraid even the royal family can't get many."
"Miss Jiu is right. I've never eaten grapes since I was a child. It's all thanks to Miss Jiu." Du Chenchen bowed. "But, is Suming County a major producer of grapes?"
However, he had never heard of it. If grapes were produced in abundance, people from the imperial court would have come to buy them long ago.
Jiusu smiled mysteriously: "There's no way to tell you that."
Du Chenchen scratched his head, smiled foolishly, and his ears turned slightly red. Yes, how could he ask about such a secret matter? After he realized it, he felt panic in his heart. Fortunately, the girl did not hold a grudge against him.
On the side, Jiang Jing saw the two people after carrying the wine barrels into the warehouse.
His eyes fell on Du Chenchen's ears, and his eyes sank slightly. What were they talking about? As for the red ears?
"call."
Continue moving the barrels.
Du Chenchen turned back in confusion and murmured, "Why do I feel like there's a pair of sinister eyes staring at me?"
Suddenly, when he saw Jiang Jing, his eyes lit up.
"Mr. Jiang, let me help you."
Jiang Jing dodged and said coldly: "You haven't even started working yet, and your face is already red. You can't do it, you should go and have a rest."
"I, I can't do it?" Du Chenchen pointed at himself and laughed angrily. He rolled up his sleeves and followed Jiang Jing to move. From time to time, he would say, "It turns out it's so light. I can hold two at a time."
Jiang Nianyin chuckled.
She fiddled with the abacus, and when someone came to report a task, she wrote it down on a piece of paper. She had memorized the multiplication formulas by heart, and could do the calculations very quickly.
"Wine, grape juice, raspberry juice, strawberry juice..."
Zitan and Koushao often come to help wash fruit trees and clean up. They are like brothers and live happily together. There is no discrimination here, which makes the Jiang family feel extremely warm.
They would call Jiang Nianyin, Miss Jiang, and Jiang Jing, Young Master Jiang.
It wasn't entirely because of Jiusu. They knew the identities of the two men. They were from Shengjing and were exiles, but they had never done anything harmful to the world. In other words, they were taking the blame.
The Jiang family has always been blamed for this.
Another day passed. After Ma Hu sent the young lady away, he locked the door. He stretched and went to the kitchen. "Shall we have cabbage stewed with pork today?"
"Okay! I'll go make pancakes!"
"Then I'll go make a fire!"
“…”
Everyone has something to do, and they can taste the meat from time to time. In the words of the lady, don't save money, you can only work well if you eat and drink well.
The carriage stopped, and Jiang's mother and Jiang Nianyin got off first.
Zitan and Kou Shao sat outside the car tactfully.
When no one was around, Jiusu felt comfortable going crazy. She hooked the man's finger with her pinky, her eyes stained with love. She asked, "What's wrong? Are you too tired to leave?"
Jiang Jing lowered his head and hesitated for a while.
"Today, in the yard, you were talking to Master Du, and I saw that he blushed."
His eyes looked at her with resentment, more like he was looking at a bad woman.
Jiusu was stunned for a moment, and then she said why Jiang Jing had been secretly competing with Du Chenchen in the afternoon. So that's what happened. Then she recalled: "Oh, he asked me where the grapes were picked. I guess he realized that he asked the wrong question and felt embarrassed."
Jiang Jing breathed a sigh of relief.
A voice came from outside, "Why is the lock open?" "Mom, did you forget to lock the door when you went out?"
The two men quickly got off the carriage.
Jiang's mother felt uneasy. She pushed open the door and called out, "Jinyou, Jinyou?"
Jiusu picked up the door lock and took a breath. She whispered, "The lock core is broken. It seems to have been damaged."
She and Jiang Jing looked at each other, then hurried into the yard, and saw Jiang's mother sitting in the house, distraught.
Jiang Nianyin covered her face and cried, "How could this happen?"
Jiang Jing's face was solemn. "Father never runs around. Besides, he's been bedridden all year round and has never stepped out of the house. Let alone going out for something, he doesn't even recognize anyone here. I'm afraid he's been taken away."
The room suddenly became extremely solemn.
It was raining outside.
Mother Jiang stood up and took a deep breath, "I'll go find him."
"Mother..." Jiang Nianyin hurriedly held her hand, her eyes red, "Don't worry, father will be fine."
Raindrops hit the threshold, and the Jiang family members guessed for a while but had no idea.
Jiusu stood up, unable to sit still and wait for death. She held an umbrella and went back to the mansion to get raincoats, distributing them to Uncle Chang and the people in the mansion one by one. She said, "Aunt, you and Nianyin stay at home. If Uncle comes back, you can notify us."
She was worried again and said, "Zitan, you stay too."
Chang Bo led his men westward to search, which suddenly alarmed Qian Junjie. Qian Junjie had just finished drinking, and when he heard that Jiang Jing's father was missing, he asked in confusion, "Could it be someone from the imperial court?"
Jiang Jing's heart sank, "That's possible."
Jiusu put his hand on his shoulder, squeezed it and comforted him, "Don't worry, let's go to the neighbors first, maybe they know something."
"I'll go with you." Qian Junjie followed behind.
The neighbor’s surname is Fang, and he moved here from another place.
The woman opened the door, fear in her eyes, and asked, "Who are you? What's wrong?"
"Mrs. Fang, my father is missing. Did you see anyone suspicious?" Jiang Jing took off his raincoat hood and asked while holding up the candle to his face.
The woman breathed a sigh of relief and looked around.
She waved to them, and after the door closed, she whispered, "An hour ago, a group of people arrived. I heard the noise and crouched through the crack in the door. I saw your father being carried away, but I didn't know them. I only heard your father shouting that he didn't want to get treatment and wanted to wait here for you to come back. He also said something else. Miss Bai, I say this because I feel sympathy for him. Please don't tell anyone else."
They both said in unison: "Bai Luoxue!"
Qian Junjie was a bit slow to react. He said with certainty, "It must be Bai Luoxue! Did you see which direction they went?"
"It seems to be over there." The woman pointed to the south.
Jiang Jing thanked him and left quickly. He was going to Chenjia Village to ask Bai Luoxue what she wanted to do!
Jiusu chased out and grabbed Jiang Jing's hand. The man was afraid of hurting her, so he didn't dare to use too much force.
"Jiang Jing, don't be impulsive. Your uncle shouldn't be in Chenjia Village."
"A Su, I can't imagine what Bai Luoxue wants to do. She has been humiliated and will definitely retaliate. But I didn't expect that she would target my father first." Jiang Jing's eyes were red, and he seemed to have lost his mind.
Jiusu hugged him gently.
Qian Junjie just stood there and ate dog food.
In fact, she was also very panicked. She kept thinking about what Fang's wife said, and suddenly found a loophole, "What treatment are you talking about? Will Bai Luoxue secretly take my uncle away and want to cure him and send him back so that you owe her a favor..."
"Yes, my father is not in Chenjia Village. He is probably in the clinic." Jiang Jing suddenly came back to his senses and broke away from the pain. "We will definitely find him if we follow the famous doctors here! Jiusu, thank you."
