Tian Lanqing frowned, and immediately squatted down and looked at the damp ground in front of him. When his nose moved, he knew that wine had been spilled on it.
Yongan opened his mouth in surprise, and then immediately understood what was going on.
"Xiaogu, how can you be sure that the person who brought this wine to pay homage to him will be his relative? Maybe he is a beggar from the ruined temple?"
Hua Xiaogu shook his head and handed the empty wine jar in his hand to Yongan: "Smell it carefully, this wine is Sangluo wine, seven yuan a tael! Can a beggar afford it? Mo Laojiu won't go home for seven or eight
It's been 10 years, and apart from the beggar in the ruined temple, he has no friends left. And the neighbors don't even know whether he is dead or alive, let alone where he is buried. Apart from relatives, is there anyone else who wants to take care of him?
Would you like to drink some fine wine to honor him?"
As soon as these words came out, Yong'an's eyes suddenly lit up: "You are right, maybe Mo Laojiu really has relatives! We have to find out!"
Tian Lanqing stood up and nodded to them: "It's time to ask around. Let's ask Mo Laojiu's former neighbors."
Hua Xiaogu showed a smile and nodded towards Tian Lanqing.
The carriage ran faster, but there were some paths that could not be entered. When they arrived at the entrance of the alley outside Mo Laojiu's original home, the carriage stopped. Everyone walked quickly towards the old banyan tree outside Mo Laojiu's restaurant.
"Yong'an, you and Tianlu will start asking from the east, and Xiaogu and I will start asking from the west." Tian Lanqing said while standing at the same intersection where he stood yesterday.
Yong'an nodded and walked eastward with Tianlu. Hua Xiaogu took two steps to the west and came to the door of the little boy's house yesterday. He stretched out his hand and knocked on the door.
"Who is it?" There was a sound of trotting along with a question, and after a while, the door opened.
The little boy from yesterday just put out his head, and when he saw it was Hua Xiaogu, he immediately retracted his head. He opened the door a small crack, turned and shouted into the yard: "Dad! The weirdo who asked Mo Laojiu yesterday
here we go again!"
The corner of Hua Xiaogu's mouth twitched, and she knew in her heart that she was a little out of control yesterday and was afraid that she might have scared the child.
After a while, a strong man came over, stood behind the little boy, and opened the door.
Tian Lanqing walked over and cupped her hands towards the man: "Brother, I would like to ask today if you know if Mo Laojiu has any relatives?"
The man looked Tian Lanqing up and down and said in a loud voice: "Of course. Mo Laojiu Mo Laojiu, he is the ninth eldest son in their Mo family!"
As soon as these words came out, Hua Xiaogu immediately opened his mouth.
"Mo Laojiu...isn't the one who drinks wine, but the one who ranks ninth?"
The man grinned happily and said, "Who cares about the wine? The Mo family is considered a big family in Linzhen. Mo Laojiu came here to marry a wife more than 20 years ago and was in the wine business. Everyone became familiar with each other by shouting.
He said before that his five sisters and three brothers all live in Hetou Town next door. You can find out if you go and find out."
Hua Xiaogu looked at Tian Lanqing excitedly, and then thanked the man again and again.
After calling Yong'an and Tianlu back, the group immediately got into the carriage and drove non-stop to the next town.
At this moment, Butler Xue and Baitao in Tian Mansion were anxious.
It was clearly agreed that they would go and visit the grave and then come back, which would not take more than an hour. How come it’s already this time and they haven’t come back yet?
