"Call the falcon seller," Jiang Nuan said to the driver, "and see if his goods are good."
Huo Tian grew up in Mobei. He once told Jiang Nuan that his favorite thing to do when he was in Mobei was to fly eagles.
Watching the falcons soar in the sky, it feels like you can be that free.
These days, she has been thinking about what kind of birthday gift to give Huo Tian, but after much thought, nothing is suitable. Now she thinks that if she gives him an eagle, he will definitely like it very much.
The remaining attendant quickly stepped forward to stop the man and asked him: "What do you have in your hands now?"
"There are two more." The man carried a bamboo pole on his shoulder, each carrying a bird cage. The birds in the cage were blindfolded. "If you want better ones, they are available, but the price is also high."
"What is your best eagle?" Jiang Nuan asked him as he opened the curtain of the car.
"Madam, it's a golden-feathered purple harrier, but the bird is still alive. You don't have to be an experienced player to play with it."
Although Jiang Nuan didn't understand it very well, she felt that what this person said was not a lie.
Because she heard from Huo Tian that the braver the falcon, the harder it is to tame it, and that they only recognize one master throughout their lives and will never serve two masters.
Therefore, those who catch eagles to sell often do not train them.
They usually blindfold the eagles and feed them.
After the buyer buys the eagle, he starts training it until it becomes obedient.
"If that bird is really good, I want it." Jiang Nuan said.
"Madam, my Purple Harrier is not cheap," the man said quickly, "it requires thirty taels of gold."
"As long as it's worth this price, I'll buy it." Jiang Nuan chatted with him impatiently, "You take me to see it now. If you like it, let's trade it on the spot."
"Oh madam, you are such a happy person. I have met a big customer today!" The man smiled brightly, "I wonder which company your house is? I'll go get the eagle and bring it to your house for you to take a look at."
"
Jiang Nuan didn't want others to know what gift she gave Huo Tian, so she said, "I'd better follow you to see it! Where do you live?"
"Hey, I live a little far away." The man said with some embarrassment, "It's further to the west than the West City! Besides, it's too remote. It's not a place for a noble person like you to go. Why don't you call this follower
Go!"
However, Jiang Nuan felt that the entourage might not be able to make the final decision. After all, it was thirty taels of gold. Besides, this was a gift he wanted to give to Huo Tian, so he had to see it in person.
"It's nothing, just lead the way. If the eagle is really good, I will never bargain." Jiang Nuan himself is not a shy person, let alone doing it for Huo Tian!
The man then led the way, leading Jiang Nuan and others to the west.
The first person to return home was the entourage who was sent to buy jujube cakes.
He thought his wife had arrived home early, but the concierge asked him: "Why did you come back first? Don't worry, I will be scolded if I find out."
"Madam should have come back earlier than me!" the attendant said strangely, "I have been waiting there for a long time!"
"It's probably because I was delayed on the road, met someone I know, or went shopping again." The concierge didn't think there was anything wrong.
What could happen in broad daylight and on the street with so many people coming and going?
"Come on, I'll send the jujube cake in first, and then go look for it later." The attendant was cautious, "I followed you out, and you have to follow me back."
There was only one road from Yu Hanying's house to Huo's house, and the entourage thought that if he walked up to it, he would definitely meet him.
Who would have thought that Jiang Nuanzuo's carriage was not to be seen along the way. I searched back and forth twice but still couldn't find it.
The entourage thought that maybe he remembered something again and walked to another street, but he didn't know which way he took, and he also thought that Jiang Nuan might have returned to the house at this time, so he walked back to the house.
We retraced our steps and returned to Dingbei Gongfu.
"Have you found the lady?" the concierge asked him.
"Isn't Madam back?" the attendant asked.
"I walked along the road, but I didn't see it." The attendant was a little panicked.
"Don't panic. Isn't the street peaceful? My wife has probably gone to buy other things. If you wait a little longer, she might come back." The concierge also advised him.
It is indeed possible that Jiang Nuan suddenly decided to ask the coachman to drive the car to another road.
Unexpectedly, after waiting and waiting, there was no sign of him, and the concierge also panicked.
"Go in and talk to the housekeeper. Send more people to look for her. At least you need to know where the lady is."
Winter days are short and the sun has already set by this time.
Huo Tian was coming back soon, and the first thing he asked every time he entered the house was where his wife was.
What did they say today? They said they didn’t know?
The housekeeper personally took people to the street to find people doing business on the roadside. He recognized Jiang Nuan's carriage and said it was going west.
The housekeeper and his men inquired and chased, and finally saw Jiang Nuan's carriage outside a dilapidated shack on the west side of the West Market.
It's just that although the carriage is there, not a single person is visible.
Not to mention Jiang Nuan, even the maid and the driver were missing.
"Spread out and search! Search carefully!" The housekeeper felt something was wrong when he saw this situation. Among other things, the coachman could never leave the carriage.
Many people in Huo Tian's house are from the military and are quicker and more careful than ordinary people.
They checked the place carefully and found that there was no one there.
"This earring seems to be from a bell." Someone picked up an earring from the ground and recognized it as belonging to the bell next to Jiang Nuan.
When the housekeeper saw it, his heart pounded even more, and his premonition became even worse.
"You guys stay here and don't move to see if anyone comes back. You guys work in pairs and search along the four roads. Don't scare the snake."
The housekeeper himself wanted to return home to report to Huo Tian. The disappearance of his wife was not a trivial matter, and he did not dare to delay.
Huo Tian came back a little late today, and bought freshly baked brown sugar biscuits for Jiang Nuan on the way. She prefers sweet ones recently.
As soon as I got off my horse at the house, the housekeeper came back.
"Master, my wife is missing..." The housekeeper told Huo Tian everything.
Huo Tian ignored the questioning and only said: "Call everyone in the house and ask door to door around the West City. Don't let go of any clues. I'm afraid he is no longer in the city at this moment, so I took people out of the city to look for him.
"
He now knows that Jiang Nuan has probably been controlled by someone, but he doesn't know whether this person is seeking wealth or revenge.
As he galloped on his horse, he thought about who might attack Jiang Nuan.
As a result, one person after another was remembered by him, and one after another was denied.
With his current status and the state of the court, those people should not dare to do such an outrageous thing, because they would not be able to fight him to the death.
Dare to touch Jiang Nuan, that is to touch his inverse scale, Huo Tian will never take it lightly.
We have to dig three feet into the ground to dig out that person.
