Family Has a Concubine

On the day of the Dragon Boat Festival, Ye Tangcai agreed to compensate Qi Min.

After a day's rest, on the seventh day of May, Ye Tangcai asked Qing'er to drive the car and went out with Qiuju and Huiran after lunch.

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

The weather was getting hotter and hotter. Sitting in the carriage, Ye Tang was shaking the fan, and Qiuju was also shaking the fan for Ye Tang.

It's so hot. Ye Tangcai pouted, she was most afraid of heat, her cheeks were already flushed from the heat, even so, she didn't like to sweat.

It will be even hotter in June and July. I don't know if Chu's house has ice. Qiu Ju was very worried.

Should have it! Hui Ran said, The Chu family is poor now. But in the past, they were one of the most wealthy and powerful families. They must have an ice cellar at home. Ice is rare in summer, but it is everywhere in winter. As long as there is an ice cellar at home , then it can be hidden, and it doesn’t take too much effort.”

While chatting, the carriage had already arrived in the west of the city.

Qiuju was here last time, she stuck her head out of the window to point the way, and after a while, the carriage stopped in a dark alley.

Several people jumped out of the carriage, and Ye Tangcai looked around, only to see dilapidated small courtyards all around.

Qiuju walked to one of the small courtyards and knocked on the door.

Who is it? Qi Min's voice came from inside. Then, the door opened with a squeak, 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 Tangcai said with a smile.

Why did you send me money? Qi Min was puzzled.

Don't invite me in?

Please come in. Qi Min immediately gave way.

Ye Tangcai and Qiuju Huiran stepped into the courtyard, but Qing'er pulled the reins of the horse's head with a bitter expression on his face: The threshold is so high that the carriage cannot be pulled in.

You go outside and wait! Ye Tangcai said.

Qing'er said, Then I'll park the carriage under the big tree at the street corner!

Okay, you can go. Ye Tang said.

Qing'er promised to turn around, pull the carriage and leave.

Ye Tang took the master and servant three people into the house, and saw that it was a small courtyard, only one main room and two side rooms, and the kitchen was set up in the courtyard.

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

The weather was hot, Qi Min didn't invite Ye Tangcai to sit inside, but let him sit under a tree.

After serving tea, Qi Min asked, You said you would give me money?

Yes! Ye Tangcai took out a money bag and explained the reason.

Qi Min suddenly realized what he heard, and then laughed loudly: So that's the case. Because of your second uncle and second aunt taking revenge on me, that's why I've been losing money for the past half month?

Ye Tangcai was full of guilt: I don't know if the money here is enough.

Qi Min opened the money bag, and found a large silver ingot, two small ingots, and then some scattered pieces of silver. After weighing it like this, it was almost a hundred taels of silver.

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

Ye Tangcai smiled and said, Miss Qi accompanied that Mr. Chu from yesterday to Beijing for the exam?

Qi Min nodded: Yes.

Ye Tangcai said: Then I wish Mr. Chu to be named on the gold list as soon as possible.

I accept your words. Qi Min was very happy, and went to the kitchen to pick up watermelon.

Ye Tang ate watermelon and chatted for a while, seeing that it was getting late, he said goodbye.

Several people left the small courtyard, only to see the carriage parked under a tree in the distance. Qing'er was sleeping on the shaft of the car.

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

Let's walk over, it's only a few steps away. Ye Tangcai said.

Several people headed towards the intersection.

At this time, there was a sudden burst of Luogu and Suona sounded behind him.

Ye Tangcai and the three turned their heads, only to see a welcoming team approaching. While walking, they also set off firecrackers and sprinkled wedding money and wedding candies, attracting a group of people to chase after the wedding team and loot.

Miss, be careful. Qiuju and Huiran quickly stood in front of Ye Tangcai and stood aside.

Bang bang bang bang— A string of firecrackers was thrown out.

Hmm... Qiuju and Huiran were so smoked by the firecrackers that they covered their noses, tears came out.

Cough cough cough... Qiu Ju cursed while coughing: What kind of firecrackers, it's too smokey! Girl, do you want to be okay?

Turning around, Ye Tangcai was nowhere to be seen.

Girl? Qiu Ju was startled, looked around, but still couldn't see her, she quickly patted Huiran: Where is the girl?

Hmm... Huiran's eyes were red from the firecrackers, and she couldn't help crying: What's wrong with the girl?

Where is the girl? Qiuju asked anxiously.

The wedding party and the common people robbing wedding money and candy had already turned across the street and disappeared.

The alley regained its calm just now, but Qiuju and Huiran couldn't calm down no matter what.

Qiuju, Huiran! At this time, Qing'er drove the carriage over, yawning: I fell asleep just now, and was woken up by the wedding party.

While talking, the carriage has stopped in front of Qiuju and Huiran.

Girl? Qiuju hurriedly climbed into the carriage, but Ye Tangcai was still nowhere to be seen.

What's the matter? Isn't the girl with you? Why did you run into the carriage to find someone? Qing'er felt something was wrong and said with a pale face.

Girl... who was there just now, suddenly disappeared! Hui Ran said anxiously.

Why didn't you disappear? Did you get run away by the firecrackers? Qing'er asked anxiously, Did you go back to Miss Qi's yard?

Qiuju and Huiran ran to Qi Min's yard in a panic, knocking on the door repeatedly: Miss Qi! Miss Qi! Open the door!

With a squeak, Qi Min opened the door: Why are you back? Did you miss something...

Where's my girl? Is she back? Qiuju was so anxious that she almost screamed, and rushed into the house while talking.

Qi Min was taken aback: Your girl didn't come back.

Impossible...how could the girl disappear?

Let's go outside and look for it! Qi Min said with a livid face, I heard that a girl has disappeared recently.

Qiuju and Huiran were dizzy. Does this mean that her girl was abducted by traffickers?

Several people were so anxious that their eyes were red, and Qi Min led the way and searched everywhere, but they couldn't find it after searching for a long time, sweating profusely.

Let's report to the officials! Qi Min said urgently. I heard that the government is also searching for human traffickers recently.

We should have reported to the police first! Qiuju cried.

Let's go! Qiuju and Huiran jumped into the carriage, and Qing'er immediately swung the whip and rushed into the city.

On the carriage, Hui Ran said: We will be passing by the Marquis of Jing'an in a while, Qing'er, let us go down, we have to tell the old man, let him go and say hello to the Fu Yin again. Qing'er, you go directly to the Yamen and tell the Fu Yin that the traffickers are here. Infested in the west of the city!

Okay! Qing'er flicked the whip hard.

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

Qiuju and Huiran ran into the corner gate of the Jing'an Marquis Mansion, and the guard at the gate naturally recognized them. Seeing their red eyes, he smiled and said, Hey, why did Qiuju and Huiran come back with red eyes? They were kicked out by the auntie ?”

You mouth! Open the door! Qiu Ju pushed him hard angrily.

The boy staggered, Qiuju and Huiran ran in, towards the Anning Hall.

Miao and Ye Lingjiao are doing embroidery in Xici's room.

Miao's hand holding the teacup suddenly paused: Why did I hear Qiuju's voice?

Ye Lingjiao raised her head, and sure enough, she heard Qiuju's footsteps outside calling out to the old man.

Old man! Old man! Qiuju and Huiran rushed in.

Sister Tang is back? Ye Lingjiao looked at the two covered in sweat and heat, and let out a soft Huh.

Qiu Ju burst into tears: Old lady, my girl is missing... Just now I met a friend in the west of the city, walked to the alley, and met a wedding party, we were so smoked by the firecrackers that we couldn't keep our eyes open, wait until we get over... But I found that the girl was missing... Some people say that there have been traffickers recently...

What? Ye Lingjiao screamed and stood up.

Let's go find the old man! Miao frowned, The old man is in the study outside, let's go.

The four hurriedly left the Anning Hall.

I'll tell my wife. After leaving the courtyard, Qiuju wanted to go south.

It's useless for you to tell her! What does she know as a woman? There is no one more person to worry about. Miao scolded.

Qiu Ju was startled, and nodded with tears in her eyes: Yes.

Several people hurried to the study outside.

In the study outside, Ye Hewen was pulling Tianxiang to kiss, when he suddenly heard Liu Er outside calling out: Old lady...

Master! Qiu Ju ignored Liu Er's obstruction and pushed the door open with a bang.

Seeing the scene inside, Miao and Ye Lingjiao were startled. Seeing Ye Hewen and Tian Xiang hugging each other, Miao's slightly sharp face turned black with a slap.

You, you... Ye Hewen's old face also turned black, he stood up quickly, and turned his back.

Tianxiang didn't have any face left, and rushed out while adjusting his clothes.

What are you doing here? Ye Hewen snorted coldly.

Master, the girl is gone. Qiu Ju and Hui Ran cried and knelt down.

Father, I heard that there are traffickers haunting recently, and sister Tang disappeared in the west of the city. Ye Lingjiao anxiously blushed.

Ye Hewen was taken aback, his eldest granddaughter was abducted by human traffickers? Ye Hewen only felt one head and two big ones, why is this granddaughter acting like a monster all day long!

Old man, go and tell Fu Yin! Qiu Ju cried. After all, it is Lord Hou. If he said it, he would at least be anxious. Take some people out to find them too!

All right! All right! Ye Hewen waved his hand in annoyance. Because of what happened just now, he was bumped into the ground, very shameless, just wanted to leave, but hurried out: Liu Er, prepare the car! Ben Hou will go there in person.

While walking, he turned his head and said, Don't tell anyone about this anymore!

Although this granddaughter is already married, if it is rumored that she was trafficked away, it would be good if she could not be found. If she is found, she will be said to be dirty. After all, she is the daughter of the Ye family, and Jingan was also lost. Hou's reputation.

Qiuju and Huiran nodded with tears in their eyes. The most capable person in the family is only the old man, so it's useless to tell others! As for the Chu family, if the old man is useless, the Chu family is useless!

Ye Hewen walked outside the Chuihua Gate, got into the car, and went straight to the Yamen.

When I came to the yamen, I couldn't see the governor, so I had to come to welcome him. After Ye Hewen inquired, I found out that the governor was leading troops to catch the traffickers!

The master whispered to Ye Hewen: Recently, human traffickers have been very rampant. Several daughters of aristocratic families have disappeared. The emperor was very angry and ordered the Shangguan Commander and Mr. Fu Yin to arrest this group of traffickers.

Ye Hewen felt relieved when he heard this, since the higher-ups valued it, they don't need him anymore.

What's the matter, Master Hou is here, could it be the daughter of the family... The master glanced at Ye Hewen.

Fart, all the girls in Benhou's mansion are staying at home well. Ye Hewen didn't want to admit that his granddaughter was also arrested, so he said: I heard that there are traffickers in the west of the city, so I came to let you know.

The master snorted: Then thank you, Lord Hou, for your notification. A young man also came to report just now, saying that the dealer is in the west of the city. We have already sent someone to notify Commander Shangguan and Lord Fuyin.

Ye Hewen nodded, then turned and left.

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

Huiran said that he should also go back and inform the third master.

But when he returned to Qiongmingxuan, Chu Yunpan was nowhere to be seen, and even Yuhan who stayed at home was gone.

Qiuju and Huiran had to wait anxiously at home for news.

...

In a daze, Ye Tangcai only felt that she was in a carriage, bumping up and down, her head was heavy, and she couldn't keep her eyelids open.

At that time, the welcoming team passed by, and she was blocked by Qiuju and Huiran, and the sound of firecrackers and joy was noisy. Suddenly someone covered her mouth and nose from behind, and she lost consciousness.

Only now is there a trace of sobriety.

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

The first one fell in love outside the Bishui Building. We followed for two days, thinking that there was no chance. I don't want her to go out again today. It's a trap!

When Ye Tangcai in the carriage heard this, she became dizzy again.

On the day of the Dragon Boat Festival, Ye Chengde also used the excuse of human traffickers to ask Ye Yun to send her off. She thought that Ye Chengde was only in a hurry to let Ye Yun get the blood jade bonsai and made nonsense, but the human traffickers were actually real!

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

The dizziness of the mind struck again.

Ye Tangcai was weak all over, but she still bit her lip hard, trying to stay awake as much as possible.

That feeling is unreal, as painful as being pressed by a ghost.

The traffickers thought she was unable to move anymore, so they didn't tie her up. She moved her hand little by little, and finally pulled out a hairpin from her head, leaned up slightly, and slipped it into the sleeve.

She tried her best to move herself a little more. It would be best if she could jump off the car now.

Woo! There was a sudden cold shout from outside, and the carriage stopped.

Ye Tangcai was startled and didn't dare to move again.

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

It will be locked up for two days. Recently, the group of dog officers and soldiers have been very strict. said the trafficker who did not carry people.

Ye Tangcai and Ben couldn't open their eyes, only felt that the man walked away for a while, and then threw her out.

Take off everything on your head! said the trafficker just now.

The trafficker with a rough voice responded, and all the gold hairpins and other things were ripped off her head.
