Absurd Deduction Game - Chapter 1039
This night, all parties are in action.
The next day, the sky was slightly bright.
All the undercurrents of last night were covered up in the sunshine. The residents opened the doors to their houses and courtyards, put out the lanterns that had been lit all night, and looked at the neighbors on the left and right as a habit.
There were quite a lot of people, and everyone spent another day together.
Since there were few people around, we held two seconds of silence for the unfortunate neighbors. By the way, we decided on the topic of conversation among the women today – talk about the usual situation of the family that disappeared last night.
In the area where wealthy businessmen live, the door is opened by the concierge. Regardless of whether something happens at home or not, the door is opened with an indifferent expression, so as not to embarrass the gentleman.
Unless it is a disaster like that of the Wang family that almost wiped out the entire family, nothing can shake the atmosphere of these wealthy merchants except amassing money.
Today there is something different.
Not long after the porters opened the door, the ladies of each family dressed up and went out, getting into the carriages that had been prepared early.
There was even uncontrollable excitement and nervousness on their faces. The beautiful and luxurious lady held the heavy solid wooden gift box in her hands, and her voice disappeared in the carriage that was getting away.
Except for the coachman, no servants could accompany him. Several high-status servants stood in a row at the door and watched their master go away.
They have long been accustomed to the rule that they are not allowed to bring servants to the annual Feng family birthday party, but they must whisper a few words after the master leaves: “I really don’t know why it is so mysterious. I am the wife’s maid, and I am not qualified to take a look. Birthday banquet?”
“Sister Cuizhu, there is no way to marry a maid. My father is the housekeeper of the mansion, so he has never been there.”
“Okay, okay, is a family birthday banquet something you can hope for? Instead of chatting here, why not wait at home and hope that the master and his wife will bring back good news. How our family’s property will be in the coming year depends on today!”
Soon, the servants dispersed.
On the other side, Qian San, who was not a wealthy businessman but also had birthday invitations, opened the courtyard door.
He had no servants and did everything by himself. He was soon stopped by a neighbor: “Mr. Qian, I saw several carriages passing by. Are they all going to attend a birthday banquet?”
Qian San smiled: “That should be the case.”
“Hey, it’s not that I want to inquire, I’m just curious. Doesn’t the birthday party start at noon? It’s just dawn, why are they going so early?”
Qian San thought for a while: “Well, although the banquet will be held at noon, most of the guests are businessmen. Naturally, they want to take advantage of the time before the banquet to connect with each other and maybe negotiate some business.”
“Hey, do you still have to take advantage of this time to fawn over that person—?”
That person, those who don’t understand, naturally don’t understand, but those who understand will know who he is talking about as soon as they hear it.
It can only be the overly mysterious Master Wanba who has been living in the Feng family!
Qian San stopped answering. He took off the lantern and stared at the neighbor who asked the question with a smile.
The person being stared at suddenly felt stressed and smiled angrily: “I have no other intentions, and I don’t want to pry into anything. Why are you looking at me like this?”
Good temper Qian San’s temper seems not so good today, maybe it’s because the topic is really sensitive.
Those who were eavesdropping all around saw Qian San’s smile weakening a lot, patting his decent and formal clothes: “I really want to know, wouldn’t it be nice to get an invitation?”
The neighbor blushed and was a little angry. Everyone who lives around here knows that he has always wanted an invitation to go to the banquet to flatter the master and come back with a chance to make a fortune, but the invitation did not come to him.
On the contrary, Qian San didn’t even have the money to run the shop. Instead, he received invitations every year. It is said that it was because Master Feng admired his character and wanted to make this friend.
How enviable!
But the neighbors can’t say anything. Qian San is not a powerless poor person. Just the appreciation from the master is enough for Qian San to go sideways.
I didn’t dare to say anything at the moment and went home to have breakfast.
Qian San ignored the prying eyes around him, picked up the symbolic gift box, locked the courtyard door, and walked towards the Feng Family Courtyard.
He did not have a carriage for himself. When he went on long trips, he would rent a carriage from the carriage shop on the street next door, so the neighbors who stared at him did not have any doubts about his behavior.
He walked along the road without going to the car dealership. He just crossed two streets and bought two buns amidst the bustle of the market.
A carriage clattered past him, and then stopped suddenly. The curtain opened, revealing a beautifully dressed young woman inside. The woman smiled at him, her voice so sweet that she said, “Isn’t this Mr. Qian~ Mr. Qian, since we are traveling together, my wife will ask you to get in the car and go together.”
This woman turned out to be a maid.
But just in terms of her dress and appearance, she is more valuable than the ladies of many other families.
Qian San was silent for a moment, turned around and bought a few more buns, and then got into the carriage with them.
The carriage was spacious. When he entered, there were already three people inside, two women and one man.
One is Sister Xue, a popular person next to Master Wanban, or the famous Mrs. Xue.
One is Mrs.
At this moment, the “husband” had a cold face and sat with his back straight, and his gaze was sharp and cold.
The other one is the maid who asked Qian San to get in the car. Compared with Mrs. Xue’s dress, she is indeed a bit plain, but one can tell at a glance that she is putting on an air of pretense.
The maid pinched an orchid finger, giggled, and smoothly took the two buns from Qian San’s hand. One was given to the cold-hearted man of the Xue family, and the other to Mrs. There are no carriages. If it weren’t for the kindness of my wife, Mr. Qian could only walk there, and there would be no way to show off~”
“…Yes, thanks to Mrs. Xue.” Qian San turned to Sister Xue and said, “This maid is too talkative. I suggest you chop her into pieces and feed them to the dogs.”
Sister Xue smiled naturally: “How dare I chop up my captain?”
“She” glanced at the side and said, “Jiu, eat some cushion first, otherwise you’ll be hungry.”
The man of the Xue family bit the bun obediently, but his eyes stayed on the maid. Seeing her words and deeds that did not feel restrained at all, a trace of admiration appeared in his eyes.
Qian San also turned his eyes and sighed after a while: “Yu Xing, you really don’t mind women’s clothing at all.”
The maid clasped her hands: “Hey~ I just do what I do and love what I do. But Ren Yi… No, Mr. Qian, your words and actions today are not right? In the past, you would never buy buns to eat on the roadside. Also, your smile is a bit shallow.”
Ren Yi, who was wearing Qian Sankaizi, smiled: “Everyone knows that I have facial paralysis. The ability to give such a facial nerve reaction is already the limit. Please don’t make it difficult for me, okay?”
“Besides, I don’t dare to eat the food at the banquet. I just don’t want to starve. If you think this is inappropriate -” Ren Yi accurately knocked off the maid’s hand that reached into the bag, “don’t eat my buns.” “
