There were many people on the street, but few noticed this sudden change because it happened too fast and suddenly!
The Longtang guards hiding around rushed over.
"Catch the man pushing the trolley!" Ade ordered in a low voice, jumped on the roof and chased after him.
Mai Xiang bought a candied haws, and just when she turned around and was about to give it to Ah Bao, she didn't expect this sudden scene to happen.
"A Bao!" Mai Xiang reacted and ran after her. She jumped onto the wall, and then jumped from the wall onto the roof, but the man had already disappeared.
"A Bao!" Mai Xiang stood on the roof in a daze, feeling as if the world was spinning. Looking at the dusty roofs around her, she sat down on the tiles and cried out.
A Bao disappeared, A Bao was robbed, Mai Xiang seemed to realize this fact, she cried out A Bao's name, while looking towards the street, with tears in her eyes, a group of people in the dark were looking up at her
, but everyone’s faces are unfamiliar.
People on the street seemed to realize that a child had been robbed, and they all pointed at Mai Xiang.
"Miss, please go back first!" A man in gray robe jumped up to the roof and whispered to Mai Xiang: "We are from Longtang and will go find Master Abao. Miss, please go back first!"
Mai Xiang just shook her head with tears in her eyes. No, she wanted to find Ah Bao. She lost Ah Bao. If she could never see Ah Bao again... The more Mai Xiang thought about it, the more frightened she became. She really didn't know how to face Chu.
Yiqing, how to face grandma and family!
"Uncle, please take me to find Abao, uncle, please!" Mai Xiang pulled the sleeve of the man in gray!
The man in gray's eyes darkened. He really didn't have time to deal with Mai Xiang. He just slashed Mai Xiang's neck with a knife and threw her off the roof. Under the room, two people in the same clothes caught Mai Xiang.
"Send her home!" the man in gray ordered coldly.
"Yes!" Two of his men responded immediately. One of them picked up the unconscious Mai Xiang and was about to leave, but was stopped by someone.
"Let her go!" Ma Yunfei and his two boys looked at the two of them coldly, "I am very familiar with the town master. If you know each other well, let her go!"
The two people looked at each other, not expecting anyone to cause trouble at this juncture.
"Get out of the way!" someone said coldly, stepping forward and pushing Ma Yunfei away.
Ma Yunfei was pushed and staggered. As the man walked by, he hugged the man's waist and shouted loudly: "Come on, come on, come on, the traffickers are stealing people!"
Taking advantage of this gap, the two boys also hugged the other person one after another.
The eyes of the person hugged by Ma Yunfei darkened. Their identity must not be exposed, so they didn't care about anything and kicked Ma Yunfei hard on the leg, knocking him to the ground.
"Ah!" Ma Yunfei felt his head buzzing and his leg seemed to be broken, but he still held on to the man's leg, "I won't let you take Zilong away, absolutely not!"
The man's eyes flashed, and he winked with the other man. The man seemed to understand, and no longer dared to be cruel, he just kicked away the two boys holding him.
"Hurry and catch them!" Liu Yuanlong, Liang Yi and others heard the news and rushed over.
"It's from the government!" someone whispered, "Don't alert the government, retreat!"
The man had no choice but to put down the wheat fragrance and leave quickly.
Ma Yunfei was overjoyed and wanted to stand up, but he couldn't stand up no matter what.
The two boys, who had been kicked with black noses and swollen eyes, quickly stepped forward to help Ma Yunfei up, "Sir, how are you?"
Ma Yunfei shook his head and motioned to the boy to help him come forward. Looking at Mai Xiang lying unconscious on the ground, he quickly shouted: "Brother Zhao, Brother Zhao?"
Mai Xiang opened her eyes, looked at Ma Yunfei, and said intermittently: "A Bao...A Bao was robbed!"
Ma Yunfei was stunned, but he didn't know who A Bao was, so he quickly asked: "Who is A Bao?"
"Aunt Chu's child, Abao!" Mai Xiang slowly sat up. Although her head hurt, she still insisted and tried her best to wake herself up.
Liu Yuanlong stepped forward and when he saw this scene, he immediately cursed: "You bastards, you are actually making trouble on Tai Sui's head in broad daylight. Let's see how I will punish you!" After Liu Yuanlong scolded him, he directed the officials behind him and said: "You are still stunned.
What are you doing? Hurry up and seal the city gates and conduct strict checks. No one can be allowed to escape. Damn it, you dare to rob people in broad daylight!"
When Liang Yi heard that it was Chu Yiqing's child who was missing, he immediately felt that the matter was serious. He immediately ordered Shitou to lead people to guard the city gate, whispered a few words in Liu Yuanlong's ear, and hurried back.
yamen.
Liu Cheng was in a very difficult situation these days. The father-in-law who had delivered the message had gone back, but the emperor could not help but blame him. Even the prince had someone bring a secret message, asking him to find Chu Yiqing quickly.
"Sir, it's not good!" Liang Yi hurriedly walked into the back hall with a sword in one hand.
"What's the matter?" Liu Cheng banged the tea cup on the table, his expression and tone showing a hint of impatience.
"Miss Chu's son was snatched away just now!" Liang Yi took a breath and said cautiously.
"What?" Liu Cheng's eyes suddenly widened, "What did you say? Say it again!"
"Miss Chu's son, named A Bao, was snatched away on the street just now, in full view of everyone. I heard that the man was very strong in martial arts, but he disappeared in the blink of an eye!" Liang Yi intuitively understood that this matter was serious.
, and said: "From my subordinates' perspective, he doesn't look like an ordinary human trafficker!"
Only then did Liu Cheng confirm that he had heard correctly. He was stunned for a long time and then shouted: "No, something bad is going to happen!"
Liang Yi was puzzled and asked, "What do you mean, sir?"
"Don't even think about it. Now Miss Chu is a popular figure in front of the emperor. First she was rewarded, and now she is invited by an imperial edict. Miss Chu is not around Chu Han, and the emperor is already dissatisfied. At this time, something happened to Miss Chu's child, then...
..." Liu Cheng whispered his guess, "Could it be that he is from the Crown Prince?"
Liang Yi was also afraid that he was the prince. After much deliberation, the prince sent a secret letter asking Liu Cheng to fully assist Chu Yiqing in going to Lucheng. Now that Chu Yiqing is not in Chu Han, whether it is intentional or not, if A Bao is caught, then
Chu Yiqing will naturally come back!
Liu Cheng walked around hurriedly and said: "If it is really the prince's people, the prince should at least send someone to inform him so that we can help. Now in Wuming Town, a robbery case occurred in full view of the public.
, the impact is too great, something like this has to be done! Liang Captou, hurry up and take people to guard the city gate, and strictly check the passers-by!"
Liang Yi hurried back: "Master, the young master has already taken his people and is guarding the city gate right now!"
"Yuanlong? How do you get involved with him?" Liu Cheng couldn't help but frown. Liu Yuanlong is his son. He naturally understands that he has always been a man who fails to succeed but fails to succeed!
"The accomplices wanted to snatch that Zhao Zilong, but they were stopped by Mr. Ma, who also stood up for Mr. Ma!" Liang Yi explained quickly.
"Ma Yunfei! It's that Ma Yunfei again. This kid Yuanlong just doesn't live up to his expectations. What kind of marriage is he doing with that Ma Yunfei all day long? Sooner or later something will happen!" Liu Cheng said angrily, "Liang Yi, hurry up and guard the city gate.
Be smart, you know? If it’s really the Crown Prince’s, we can’t afford the punishment!”
Liang Yi hesitated slightly, as if he had some concerns, and said: "Master, I think this is inappropriate, at least it is not a perfect solution. If you are not the prince, then..."
"Then don't worry about it. Let's detain the person first and bring him to the Yamen. Let's discuss it later!" Liu Cheng said immediately, "But remember, you must speak carefully and don't hurt the prince.
people!"
Liang Yi nodded quickly, saluted, and hurried out of the Yamen.
Ma Yunfei's leg seemed to be heavy. Liu Yuanlong quickly lifted Ma Yunfei into the carriage to see the doctor, while he led others to guard the city gate.
"How are you?" Mai Xiang had calmed down now. Although she was still a little confused, she was at least much more awake than before. She looked at Ma Yunfei who was lying in the car and asked.
"I'm fine. You'd better go back and notify your family quickly, and ask people to look around for you!" Ma Yunfei said in a low voice.
Mai Xiang responded quickly, said goodbye, and ran towards the house.
Mrs. Huangfu is celebrating the Lantern Festival at home. The fifteenth day of the first lunar month is coming soon. Every household has to eat the Lantern Festival. I heard that there are people who perform dragon lanterns and run land boats in the town. On the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, the town is always more lively than at home.
Mrs. Huangfu first fried the peanuts, walnuts, sesame seeds, etc., then placed them on the board and crushed them bit by bit with a rolling pin. Just as she was about to ask Liu Cuigu to scoop up the sugar, she heard a roar at the courtyard door.
There was a sound, as if someone had kicked it away. Her hands were in a hurry, and the rolling pin fell to the ground, hitting her feet.
"Who is this? Why are you whistling in such a hurry!" Mrs. Huangfu complained as she picked up the rolling pin. Just as she was about to go out, she heard Mai Xiang shouting outside without making any serious noise: "Grandma!"
Grandma!"
"What's wrong? The mouse has exploded its nest?" Mrs. Huangfu came out with a rolling pin and said with an unhappy face, "You're celebrating the Chinese New Year, what's going on?"
"Grandma, A'bao is gone! A'bao is gone!" Mai Xiang ran in disgrace all the way, but when she saw Mrs. Huangfu, she burst into tears again.
Mrs. Huangfu felt that her feet were weak and she almost fell to the ground. She held on to the door frame and asked quickly: "What did you say? What did you say? Where is A Bao?"
Mai Xiang stepped through the door, ran to Mrs. Huangfu and sobbed: "Grandma, someone has taken away A Bao. I saw with my own eyes that A Bao was taken away?"
"What are you talking about?" Mrs. Huangfu held Mai Xiang's weak shoulders tightly, "What are you talking about?"
At this time, Lin Yi came in with the first and second grade students. When he saw this scene, he stepped forward and said: "Old madam, don't be anxious. Ade and Fifteen have gone after them. Ade
My martial arts is so good, I should be able to catch up!"
Mrs. Huangfu turned her eyes to Lin Yi in disbelief, "Then is this true? Ah Bao..."
Mai Xiang nodded, grabbed Mrs. Huangfu's hand, and sobbed: "Grandma, it's all my fault. If I hadn't asked A Bao to buy paint together, I wouldn't have..."
After hearing this, Mrs. Huangfu suddenly raised her hand and slapped Mai Xiang in the face, "I told you not to take A Bao around, why didn't you listen?"
Mai Xiang covered her beaten face, tears falling down.
"You child, how old is A Bao? What will you do if someone robs you? How will your aunt survive?" Mrs. Huangfu felt distressed when she slapped her face down, but when she thought of how small A Bao would be, what if
There are three long and two short sides...
Lin Yi didn't know what to say for a moment, and the others just stood there blankly.
"Shopkeeper Lin, have you reported to the official? Hurry and report to the official!" Mrs. Huangfu grabbed Mai Xiang and asked Lin Yi as she walked out.
"Report it, report it, the government knows now and is searching all over the city!" Lin Yi hurriedly followed outside.
"Shopkeeper Lin, you go to the shop and scoop out a thousand taels of silver. I'll go to the government to sort it out. I met Mr. Liu when he went to the house last time, and he's an acquaintance. Let him help and look for it, otherwise
..." Mrs. Huangfu couldn't help but her eyes turned red, and her hand that was holding Mai Xiang began to tremble.
At this moment, Mai Xiang did not dare to be aggrieved and said quickly: "Grandma, I am also looking for Ah Bao. I will definitely find Ah Bao!"
"Stop running around and follow me!" Mrs. Huangfu whispered.
Lin Yi quickly replied: "Okay, madam, I'll go scoop it up right now!"
Mrs. Huangfu nodded, turned around and saw Liu Cuigu standing in the room frightened, and said again: "You stay at home and watch the door. That kid A Bao is smart, maybe he can escape and run back!"
Liu Cuigu responded quickly.
Mrs. Huangfu stood at the door with her wheat fragrance. Although it was already spring, the wind was still cold, and it was like a knife blowing on people's faces.
Mrs. Huangfu looked at the half-palm mark on Mai Xiang's face, lowered her head and said, "Xiang, don't blame grandma. Grandma was anxious just now. A Bao couldn't be found, and grandma didn't want to live anymore!"
Mai Xiang nodded, then immediately shook her head, wiped her tears and said, "Grandma, I know, I will definitely find A Bao!"
On this day, people everywhere in Wuming Town heard people shouting Abao's name. Lin Yi mobilized everyone in the shop to search for him.
Looking at the people hurriedly searching for someone on the street, the passers-by couldn't help but sigh: "What kind of world is this? You lost your child in broad daylight!"
Luo Guo, Chu Yiqing was bending over to carry a jar of freshly pickled sweet ginger slices. Suddenly, her hand slipped, and the jar fell to the ground with a bang and shattered.
Chu Yiqing was startled, frowning slightly, always feeling empty and a little uncomfortable.
"Miss, are you hurt?" Yingqian ran in quickly and asked.
Chu Yiqing shook his head and said: "My hands were slippery and I accidentally broke it. Please clean it up!"
Yingqian nodded quickly.
"Miss, Mrs. Zhu is here!" Yingrun came in to report.
Chu Yiqing nodded, whispered a few instructions to Yingrun, then quickly packed up his clothes and walked out of the back hall quickly.
Mrs. Zhu wears a gold filigree butterfly hairpin on her head, paired with silver beads inlaid with gems, and a pair of small pearl pendants hanging from her two ear beads. She wears a red satin waistcoat.
There are exquisite piping on the cuffs and placket. The lower body is a bright yellow silk cotton skirt. On the feet are a pair of thick-soled red shoes. An embroidered silk handkerchief is held in the hand. A ruby ring is worn on the middle finger of the left hand. As soon as he saw Chu Yi
Qing Bian smiled and said, "How is Miss Chu's business these days?"
Chu Yiqing smiled and said: "Not bad, because those vegetable shops have stopped supplying vegetables, so I am the only one in the whole Luo Kingdom who can buy fresh ginger, so the sound is not bad!"
"Miss Chu really knows how to do business. The price of this ginger has increased from eight cents at the beginning to twenty cents now. The price is too expensive, but there are more people eating it!" Mrs. Zhu raised her hand and adjusted it gently.
Make that little bun.
Chu Yiqing still smiled lightly: "Mrs. Zhu is too polite. I wonder what Mrs. Zhu is thinking?"
Mrs. Zhu lowered her eyes and said slowly: "I went back and discussed it with my husband's family. My husband's family still feels that the price of this ginger is a bit expensive. According to the market price of Luo Country, the highest price of this ginger was only ten cents. Now it is
At twenty cents..."
Chu Yiqing smiled and said: "Ginger can only be harvested in September or October. This is the first month, and there are still ** months left. Mrs. Zhu is still worried that she won't be able to sell it?"
Mrs. Zhu was stunned, then smiled softly, and just as she was about to continue bargaining, she saw Yingrun coming to report: "Miss, the shopkeeper Yu from Ningxiangfang is here!"
Chu Yiqing nodded: "Shopkeeper Yu, please go sit down in the flower hall first, and tell me that I have distinguished guests here, and I will go and receive shopkeeper Yu later!"
Yingrun chuckled, nodded, and walked out.
When Mrs. Zhu heard the words shopkeeper Yu, the corners of her eyes jumped quickly. She raised her eyes and glanced at Mother Chen, who then found an excuse to go out.
Chu Yiqing still smiled calmly and poured tea for Mrs. Zhu herself.
"Miss Chu gave me the ginger dish that day. I scooped it back and gave it to all the ladies to taste it. They all liked it. This shows that Miss Chu's craftsmanship is not a problem. It's just that this raw material, this ginger, is not available in Luo Country.
It's not a rare thing!" Mrs. Zhu said slowly, but her eyes kept looking outside.
Chu Yiqing smiled and said: "It's because ginger is something Luo Guo often eats. In winter, it is even more precious if it is so well preserved!"
"Miss Chu, that's it. If that's the case, then how about I buy Miss Chu's method of storing ginger? Miss Chu, just ask for a price!" Mrs. Zhu said again.
"I'm sorry, Mrs. Zhu. This method is a skill that I rely on to survive. How can I just buy it? Since Mrs. Zhu doesn't really do this business, forget it. I still have distinguished guests waiting there, so I'll excuse you!" Chu Yiqing said calmly.
He stood up with a smile and prepared to see off the guests.
Mrs. Zhu had no choice but to say: "Then let me go back and think about it again!"
Chu Yiqing smiled and said nothing, but made a gesture to see off the guests.
After Mrs. Zhu left, Yingrun hurriedly stepped forward and said, "Girl, Mother Chen is really sneaking around the flower hall and looking, as if she wants to see clearly!"
Chu Yiqing nodded: "That's right!"
"What?" Yingrun was even more puzzled.
"Yue Lao Niang, this title is very familiar. Later I remembered that the abbot of Yue Lao Temple is not the Yue Niang Niang. I exposed the matter of Yue Lao Temple. Although not many people know about it, Yue Niang Niang is so big.
It's probably not difficult to find out the power! Madam Zhu appears so strangely. It seems that she is not coming for our goods, but for our people!" Chu Yiqing said calmly, "I let you
I called the shopkeeper here because I wanted to test it out and confirm my guess! Speaking of which, I have to thank Mr. Lan for this!"
But because of this, Chu Yiqing was even more certain that Lan Yi's identity was not simple, and actually involved the emperor's most beloved concubine!
"Miss, what you're saying is that Mrs. Zhu is going to be harmful to us, but she's just afraid that we have a back-up, so she came to inquire first?" Yingrun finally realized.
Chu Yiqing nodded, "I'm afraid we were targeted as soon as we landed. It's just that those people were afraid of Lan Yi's power, so they didn't dare to take action!"
"Now that they have confirmed our relationship with Mr. Lan, is it safe?" Yingrun couldn't help but still worried, just because, in this country, she and Yingqian had too many bad memories, and their opponents were still
As a member of the royal family, Yingrun felt a little scared when she thought of this!
Chu Yiqing sighed: "I don't know yet. If it were in the past, I would be very sure, but this time, Lan Yi was assassinated before he even got ashore. It's obvious that Lan Yi already has a strong enemy!"
"What should we do?" Yingrun became even more anxious after hearing this.
"We are just ordinary people who open a shop to live and work. They fight with them, so we just have to be careful!" Chu Yiqing stretched out lazily. She just wanted to use Lan Yi to temporarily scare Mrs. Zhu away from beating them.
It was just an idea. As for the grievances between Lan Yi and those people, she didn't want to get involved.
"Has the letter been sent away?" Chu Yiqing asked.
Yingrun nodded immediately: "There happened to be a ship going to Li State, so I asked the man to take it with me. I gave him a deposit of five hundred coins and said that after seeing the reply, I would give him another one or two silver coins. Don't worry, miss, that man
For the sake of money, I will definitely bring the letter to you!"
Chu Yiqing nodded and said with a smile: "You did a good job this time!"
Yingrun is naturally happy when she is praised.
"Okay, don't forget that shopkeeper Yu is still waiting there!" Chu Yiqing stood up and walked slowly towards the flower hall.
In the flower hall, as the chief perfumer of Ningxiangfang and the shopkeeper of Ningxiangfang, Yu Manmiao has a sense of smell and taste that is different from ordinary people. When the fragrance approached, she stood up and gently put the purple clothes on her face.
His narrow sleeves hung down by his side, and he looked quietly at the woman entering the hall.
The woman is dressed in moon-white silk trimmed with purple trim, forged shoulder-to-shoulder pins, paired with a moon-white long skirt with dense pleats and green beaded cover. The neckline and skirt are embroidered with small pieces of white pear blossoms, and her eyebrows are darkened.
, the hair is black but not painted, the cheeks are not fat but red, the lips are not painted but red, and the ice is like jade bone. It matches the light and slightly spicy fragrance. The fragrance combines with people, just right!
"What a lifetime! The powder made by the girl is really unique!" Yu Manmiao praised.
She couldn't help but get closer and smell it carefully, but she felt that the smell of the fragrant powder was ever-changing. She had been making incense for so many years, and she couldn't figure out what the fragrance was like. In the end, she had to rely on experience to guess the types of spices in it. "Mysterious"
Rosemary, mint, thyme, fenugreek, dill, the spicy flavor should be ginger!”
Chu Yiqing smiled and said: "He is indeed the top incense maker in the Luo Kingdom, and his reputation is well-deserved!"
Yu Manmiao smiled faintly: "Miss Chu rejected Mr. Lan's kindness and insisted on asking me to smell the fragrance. What is the purpose of it? No matter whether the girl makes this spice or not, Mr. Lan will still want the girl's goods!"
Chu Yiqing raised his eyebrows: "I am in business, not a beggar. I appreciate Mr. Lan's kindness, but although this ginger is not valuable, I dug it out of the ground after a year of hard work, and it has my name on it.
Blood and sweat, I should naturally arrange a good place for them to make the most of it! The base fragrance of this Three Lives and One World fragrance powder is the spiciness of ginger, and the aroma will change as the fragrance evaporates. This spiciness is
It’s unique to old turmeric, but not found in new or dried ginger!”
Chu Yiqing said, pushing a box of fragrant powder in front of Yu Manmei.
Yu Manmiao took the powder and smelled it carefully. It was indeed a different spicy smell. It was pungent at first, but when it spread in the air, it had a unique spicy fragrance that she had never smelled before.
Passed.
"I understand what the girl means!" Yu Manmiao couldn't help but feel a hint of admiration on her face, "To be honest, this is the first time I've encountered a girl doing business like this!"
Chu Yiqing smiled and said: "I am not a businessman, I am just a person who loves things. I will give them the best destination for the things I grow!"
Yu Manmiao nodded: "I will go back and discuss it with my boss, but this box of powder..."
"Just scoop it up!" Chu Yiqing smiled.
Yu Manmiao stood up and said goodbye.
"Miss, you finally succeeded!" Yingrun couldn't help but stepped forward to congratulate her.
Chu Yiqing also breathed a sigh of relief. After working hard, she felt at ease. In the past ten days or so in Luo Country, she had taken the first step.
Chu Yiqing worked hard to start a business in Luo Country and had no idea about A Bao's situation at this time.
Diao San grinned proudly, picked his nostrils with one hand, grabbed a greasy chicken leg with the other and said in a seductive tone: "Little guy, are you hungry? Do you want to eat?"
Abao sat on the bare bed, looked at the ventilated walls, and then looked at the disgusting Diao San in front of him, frowning, "I won't eat, your hands are so dirty!"
"Little brat, do you know who grandpa is? Grandpa is a famous doll thief. It's best to steal children from rich families like you and collect the ransom. Little brat, let me tell you, grandpa is the best at dealing with children like you.
Fuck you!" Diao San spit out a mouthful of thick phlegm.
Abao quickly moved his little body back, and suddenly looked at Diao San coldly with a pair of big eyes: "You want to ask my mother for money?"
Diao San threw the remaining chicken bones aside, pulled out a section from the straw beside him, shaved his teeth severely and hummed, "How much money can your mother have? I want to ask the master of Longtang to collect the money."
!”
When Abao heard this, his big eyes rolled and he deliberately pretended to be confused and asked: "Longtang? What is Longtang? My mother's name is Chu Yiqing. I don't know what Longtang is. Have you arrested the wrong person?"
?”
Diao Sanyi glared, "Such a young child can actually lie. Do you think I don't know that you are the young master of Longtang, Little Silver Eagle? You can deceive others, but you can't deceive me!"
