Family Has a Concubine

On the day of the Dragon Boat Festival, Ye Tangcai said he would go to Qi Min to lose money.

After a day off, on the seventh day of May, after having dinner at noon that day, Ye Tangcai asked Qing'er to drive the car and went out with Qiuju and Huiran.

The north and west of the city are the two ends, and it takes half an hour to ride a carriage alone.

The weather is getting hotter and hotter. Sitting in the carriage, Ye Tang shook his fan, Qiuju also shook his fan.

"It's so hot." Ye Tang pouted. She was most afraid of heat. Her cheeks were already red with heat. Even so, she didn't like to sweat.

"It will be hotter in June and July, I wonder if there is ice in Chu's house." Qiu Ju was very worried.

"It should be there!" Hui Ran said, "The Chu family is poor now. But before the rich and powerful, there must be an ice cellar in the house. Ice is rare in summer, but it is everywhere in winter. If you have an ice cellar, you can hide it, and it doesn't take too much effort."

While chatting, the carriage has reached the west of the city.

Qiuju had been here last time, and he stuck his head out of the window to show the way. After a while, the carriage stopped in a dark alley.

A few people jumped out of the carriage, and Ye Tangcai looked around, only to see that there were dilapidated courtyards all around.

Qiu Ju walked to one of the courtyards and knocked on the door.

"Who is it?" Qi Min's voice came from inside. Then, the door was opened with a creak, and Qi Min was startled when he saw Ye Tangcai standing at the door: "Is that you?"

"Yes, I'm here to give you money." Ye Tang Cai said with a smile.

"Why are you giving me money?" Qi Min puzzled.

"Don't you invite me in?"

"Please come in." Qi Min immediately gave in.

Ye Tangcai and Qiuju stepped into the yard, but Qing'er pulled the whip with a bitter expression: "The threshold is so high that the carriage can't be pulled in."

"You wait outside!" Ye Tangcai said.

Qing'er said, "Then I will pull the carriage under the big tree at the entrance of the street!"

After speaking, Qinger left with the carriage.

The three masters and servants Ye Tang came into the house and saw that it was a small courtyard with only one hall and two wing rooms. The kitchen was built in the courtyard.

There is a big jujube tree in the yard, under the tree is a square wooden table.

The weather was hot, Qi Min did not ask Ye Tang to sit in the house, and let him sit under the tree.

When Qi Min came to the tea, he asked, "You said give me money?"

"Yes!" Ye Tangcai took out a purse and explained the reason.

Qi Min suddenly realized it, and then laughed: "That's it. Because your second uncle and aunt retaliated against me, I have been losing money in the past half month?"

Ye Tangcai nodded: "I don't know if the money here is enough."

Qi Min opened the purse and found a big silver play treasure, two small ingots, and then some scattered pieces of silver. In this way, there were almost one hundred taels of silver.

Qi Min's eyes sparkled, and he giggled, "Of course it's enough! This should last until next year's spring."

Ye Tang laughed and said, "Ms. Qi accompanied the young master Chu yesterday to Beijing for the exam?"

Qi Min nodded.

Ye Tangcai said: "Then I wish Lord Chu a title on the gold list as soon as possible."

"According to your words." Qi Min was very happy, and then went to the kitchen to pick up a watermelon.

Ye Tang had picked watermelon and chatted for a while, and when it was getting late, he said goodbye.

When a few people left the courtyard, they saw the carriage parked under a tree in the distance. Qinger was sitting sideways in front of the carriage and sleeping.

"Qing'er! Qing'er!" Qiu Ju yelled a few times, maybe too far away, he couldn't hear clearly and was still sleeping.

"Let's go over, it's not a few steps away," Ye Tangcai said.

Several people walked towards the intersection.

Suddenly, there were loud drums and trivial sounds behind him.

Ye Tangcai turned their heads and saw a welcoming team approaching. While walking, they set off firecrackers and sprinkled happy money and happy candy, which attracted a group of people to chase the family greet team and rob them.

"Girl be careful." Qiuju and Huiran quickly blocked Ye Tangcai and stood aside.

"Bang bang bang bang —" Strings of firecrackers were thrown out.

"Um..." Qiu Ju and Hui Ran were covering their noses by the firecrackers, tears came out.

"Cough, cough, cough..." Qiu Ju scolded as he coughed: "What kind of firecrackers, it's too popular! Girl, do you want it?"

Looking back, Ye Tangcai was nowhere to be seen.

"Girl?" Qiu Ju was stunned. She looked around, but she still didn't see her. She quickly patted Hui Ran, "Where is the girl?"

"Hmm..." Hui Ran's eyes were red from those firecrackers, and she couldn't help crying: "What's the matter with the girl?"

"Where is the girl?" Qiu Ju said anxiously.

The welcoming team and the people who grabbed the money and candy have already turned the corner and disappeared.

The alley returned to the same calm as before, but Qiu Ju and Hui Ran couldn't calm down in any way.

"Qiuju, Huiran!" At this time, Qing'er drove the carriage over and yawned: "I just fell asleep and was awakened by the welcoming team."

While saying that the carriage had stopped in front of Qiu Ju and Hui Ran.

"Girl?" Qiuju hurriedly climbed into the carriage, but still did not see Ye Tangcai.

"What's the matter? Isn't the girl with you? Why ran into the carriage to find someone?" Qing'er felt wrong and said with a blank face.

"The girl... just still there, she disappeared suddenly!" Hui Ran said anxiously.

"Why didn't you see it? Did the firecrackers run away?" Qing'er said anxiously: "Did you go back to that girl Qi's yard?"

Qiuju and Huiran hurriedly ran to Qi Min's yard in a panic, and then kept patting the door: "Girl Qi! Girl Qi!"

After a while, Qi Min opened the door: "Why are you back? Did you miss something..."

"Where is my girl? Did you come back?" Qiu Ju screamed out in a hurry, and rushed into the house as he said.

Qi Min was startled: "Your girl did not come back."

"Impossible... how could the girl disappear?"

"Let's go outside and look for it!" Qi Min's face was pale: "I listened to the story. Recently, a girl has disappeared."

Qiuju and Huiran were dizzy. This meant that her girl was kidnapped by a trafficker?

The few people were so anxious that their eyes were red, and Qi Min led the way and looked everywhere, but how could they find it.

"Let's report to the official soon!" Qi Min said anxiously. "I heard that the government is also searching for human traffickers recently."

"We should have reported to the officials long ago!" Qiu Ju cried.

"Let's go!" Qiu Ju and Hui Ran jumped into the carriage, and Qing'er immediately flicked the whip and rushed into the city.

On the carriage, Hui Ran said, "When you arrive at Jing’an Hou’s Mansion, Qing’er, let us go down. We’re going to tell the old lady and let him go and say hello to Fu Yin. Qing’er, go directly to the Yamen and tell the Fu Yin’s traffickers. Haunted west of the city!"

Qing'er nodded and flicked the horse whip fiercely.

The carriage drove fast, about two quarters of an hour. First arrived at Jingfahou's Mansion in the city, Qinger put down the two and rushed to the Yamen.

Qiu Ju and Hui Ran came to the corner gate of Jing'an Hou's Mansion. The guard at the gate naturally recognized them. When they saw them with red eyes, they smiled and said, "Yeah, why did Qiu Ju and Hui Ran come here with red eyes? They were rushed by the aunt's grandmother. ?"

"Cheese! Open the door!" Qiu Ju pushed him hard with anger.

The little servant staggered, Qiu Ju and Hui Ran rushed in and went into the Anning Hall.

Miao and Ye Lingjiao are doing embroidery in the Xici room.

Miao's hand holding the tea cup suddenly paused: "How do I hear Qiuju's voice?"

Ye Lingjiao raised her head, and she heard Qiu Ju's footsteps shouting at the old man while she was outside.

"Old lady! Old lady!" Qiu Ju and Hui Ran rushed in.

"Sister Tang is back?" Ye Lingjiao frowned as she looked at the two with sweat and heat.

Qiu Ju cried with a whimper: "Old lady, my girl is gone...I just met a friend in the west of the city, went out into the alley, and met a welcoming team. We were so blinded by firecrackers that we couldn’t open our eyes. We waited to find the girl. It's gone... Some people say that traffickers have appeared recently..."

"What?" Ye Lingjiao exclaimed and stood up.

"Let's go find the old lady!" Miao's frowned, "The old lady is in the outer study room, go."

After speaking, they stood up, and the four of them left An Ning Hall in this way.

"I'll tell my wife." Qiu Ju turned around and left.

"It's useless if you tell her! What does she know as a woman? There is no more worrying about it." Miao scolded.

While talking, several people have already left the inner gate.

In the outer study room, Ye Hewen was pulling Tian Xiang to kiss, when suddenly he heard Liu Er shout outside: "Old lady..."

"Grandma!" Qiu Ju had ignored Liu Er's block, and opened the door with a bang.

Then Miao, Ye Lingjiao and others saw Ye Hewen and Tianxiang hugging each other, and Miao's slightly pointed face was completely black.

Ye Hewen's old face turned dark too, and he quickly stood up and turned his back.

Tian Xiang didn't have the face to stay, and rushed out while changing his clothes.

"What are you doing here?" Ye Hewen yelled coldly.

"Old lady, the girl is gone." Qiu Ju and Hui Ran wept and knelt down.

"Father, I heard that there have been traffickers recently, and Sister Tang has disappeared in the west of the city." Ye Lingjiao flushed anxiously.

Ye Hewen was startled, his granddaughter was kidnapped by a trafficker? Ye Hewen only feels one head and two big ones. How can this granddaughter make a lot of noise all day long!

"Old lady, go talk to Fu Yin!" Qiu Ju cried. After all, it is Hou Ye, if you say it, at least you will be anxious. "Bring some people out to find it too!"

"All right! All right!" Ye Hewen waved his hand in boredom. Because of what happened just now, I was slammed into the head. I was very faceless. I just wanted to leave, but hurriedly went out: "Liu Er, get the car! Benhou will go there in person."

As he walked, he turned his head and said, "You are not allowed to tell others about this!"

Although this granddaughter is already married, if it is reported that she was trafficked away, it would be better if she can't be found. If she is found, she will be said to have defiled her body. In the end, it is Ye's daughter and lost them Jingan. The reputation of the Hou Mansion.

Qiu Ju and Hui Ran nodded tearfully. The most capable person in the family is the old lady, and it's useless to tell others! As for the Chu family, if the old lady is not good enough, the Chu family is still good!

Ye Hewen walked to the Chuhua Gate, got in the car, and went all the way to the Yamen.

When I arrived at the Yamen, I couldn't see Fu Yin, so my master came to welcome him. Ye Hewen only found out when he inquired that Fu Yin was leading his troops to arrest the traffickers!

The master whispered to Ye Hewen: "Human traffickers have been rampant recently. Several daughters of the aristocratic family have disappeared. The emperor is very angry, and the Shangguan commander and Master Fu Yin must apprehend the traffickers."

Ye Hewen was relieved when he listened. Since the above attaches great importance to it, he doesn't need him anymore.

"What's the matter, Lord Hou, come here, it's not the daughter of the mansion..." The master glanced at Ye Hewen.

"Fart, all the girls in Benhou's Mansion are well at home." Ye Hewen didn't want to admit that his granddaughter was also arrested, but said: "I heard someone say that there are people in the west of the city, so I came to tell."

Master said: "Then thank Master Hou for reporting. Just now a young man reported that the trafficker is in the west of the city. We have sent people to inform the leader of the Shangguan and Lord Fu Yin."

Ye Hewen nodded, then turned and left.

When Ye Hewen returned home, Qing'er had gone to Jing'an Houfu to pick up Qiuju and Huiran.

Hui Ran said that she should also go back and inform San Ye.

But when he returned to Qiongmingxuan, he didn't see Chu Yunpan, and even Yuhan who was staying at home was gone.

Qiu Ju and Hui Ran had to wait anxiously for news at home.

...

In the dizziness, Ye Tangcai only felt that she was on a carriage, one on top of another, her mind was heavy, and she couldn't get her eyelids open.

When the welcoming team passed by, she was blocked by Qiu Ju and Hui Ran, and the sound of firecrackers and joy was noisy. Suddenly someone covered her mouth and nose from behind, and she lost consciousness.

Until now, there was a hint of sobriety.

"This little lady is really beautiful, she is simply the best! We didn't waste so much thought." The man's rough laughter came from outside the carriage.

"The former one took a look at it outside the Bishui Tower. We followed for two days, thinking that there was no chance, and I didn't want her to go out again today. It's really self-inflicted!"

Ye Tangcai in the carriage felt dizzy again when she heard this.

On the Dragon Boat Festival, Ye Chengde also used a trafficker as an excuse to ask Ye Yun to send her off. She thought that Ye Chengde was only anxious to get Ye Yun to take the Blood Jade Panjing and ridicule it.

And these human traffickers seem to have been eyeing her a long time ago, but they have never had a chance to start, but today she went out...

The dizziness of the brain struck again.

Ye Tangcai was weak, but she bit her inner lip fiercely to keep herself as awake as possible.

That feeling was unreal, and it was painful like being pressed by a ghost.

The trafficker thought she couldn't move anymore, so she didn't tie her. She moved her hand little by little, and finally pulled out a hairpin from her head, leaned up slightly, and slid into the sleeve.

She tried hard to make herself move a little more, if she could jump out of the car now, it would be better.

"Hush!" There was a sudden cold drink outside, and the carriage stopped.

Ye Tangcai was shocked and didn't dare to move anymore.

The curtain of the carriage was lifted, Ye Tangcai only felt that she was being pulled up, and then she was carried out on her shoulders.

"We will be detained for two days. Recently, the dog officers and soldiers have investigated very strictly." The trafficker who did not carry anyone said.

Ye Tangcai couldn't open his eyes with Ben, and only felt that the person had gone away for a while, and then threw her out.

"Pick everything on your head clean!" the trafficker said just now.

The trafficker with a rough voice responded, and all the gold hairpins and other things on her head were torn away.
