Chapter 74

In the room, there was only Qingying, a maid who waited on her. Xu Mingyi sat down and asked.

Cui nodded, but his face was not very good-looking.

"The government has found that the last time Qi Lin appeared in the city was in the bamboo forest behind a teahouse in the South Lane of the city." Cui explained Wen's words in the letter: "it was said that the waiter in the teahouse saw it, and after Qi Lin appeared, another aunt wearing a curtain hat came to me..."

This kind of situation is very easy to be associated with private meetings, and everyone likes to see this kind of thing, so I can still have some impression after nearly 20 days.

"According to the guy's general description, the little girl should be Qing'er who went out to sell jewelry that day..."

Cui said, "the people in the government went to Bo's house to ask who the little girl is. Bo's house naturally dare not say it clearly. At present, I just hope the government can find Qi Lin as soon as possible."

As long as you find Qi Lin, you can know Qing'er's whereabouts.

Now the Bo family, the Wen family and the town government are also listening to Qing'er's trace.

But even so, Cui still felt that he had no bottom in his heart.

People in this world are dangerous and everything is unpredictable. I don't know how many people get lost every year where they can and can't see.

Even the capital is no exception.

But how many can you really get back?

In particular, Qing'er has disappeared for 20 days. The 20 days is enough for too many things to happen and enough for many original clues to disappear.

"Chengnan Lane..."

Xu Mingyi asked thoughtfully, "mother, what's the name of the teahouse mentioned in the letter?"

"It seems to have been mentioned..."

But she didn't deliberately remember.

Cui subconsciously picked up the stationery on the small table next to him.

Sure enough——

"It's called Xuesheng teahouse."

Xu Mingyi nodded.

That's a coincidence.

Cousin Qing disappeared near Xuesheng teahouse, which is probably the last place where she appeared in front of people.

"Why did Zhaozhao deliberately ask this?"

"My daughter just thinks that since someone has seen cousin Qing there, she needs someone to inquire and check carefully nearby."

Cui nodded.

This is natural.

The mother and daughter talked about the sporadic clues they had obtained in recent days. Before meeting, the girl was always serious, which touched Cui's heart.

In the final analysis, Zhaozhao's devotion to Qing'er's affairs is only because of her mother.

She will also strive to be Zhaozhao's mother.

"Madam."

Mother Feng came in and whispered, "the gift has been sent to the Zhan family. The wife of the Zhan family left her slaves for dinner, but the slaves declined."

Cui nodded.

"I see. Go down."

Mother Feng answered "yes" and withdrew.

Xu Mingyi looked at the yellow banana leaves outside xiangxuan's window and was distracted for a moment.

Zhan Qian was promoted.

He was promoted from the sixth grade principal to the fifth grade official doctor.

Six official positions have always been hard to find. Such a bargain fell on the head of taking advantage of the potential. In the past, she might not feel anything, but now she is determined to have something to do with the Xia family.

These days, Zhan Qian sends secret letters to Xia's house more and more frequently.

But recently, the Zhan family had no income in their town government, and Zhan Yunzhu had to be more careful because of Liu Yi. Will Xia Tingzhen be so generous to a chess piece that didn't make any contribution?

There are countless large and small officials available to him. There are interest relations at all levels, and more than one is waiting to climb up.

Isn't Zhan's family working elsewhere?

Xu Ming guessed subconsciously.

Xu mingyifang didn't come back until he heard Cui's order that Qingying go to the kitchen to see if the snacks were ready.

"What snacks did the kitchen make today?" she asked suddenly.

Qingying smiled and replied, "in addition to those made every day, there are jujube paste cakes that girls like and ox tongue cakes that childe likes."

"Then let the kitchen fill me with everything. I'll take it out."

Green cherry has no doubt that it should come down.

Cui Shi can't help asking, "who is this heart to bring? Can we ask the kitchen to make something else?"

"Send it to the princess." Xu Mingyi said with a smile, "that's enough."

Cui nodded.

After returning to Xiyuan, Xu Mingyi went into his study and wrote a note, telling ah Zhu to send Zhu Xiu to Dingnan palace in the capital.

It was afternoon. In Dingnan palace, Wu Tsui was practicing his sword in the courtyard.

The young man's figure seems to be tall and thin unique to his age. However, his narrow sleeved silk robe is soaked with sweat and pasted on his back, outlining powerful arc lines from his wide shoulders to his arms.

"Childe."

Seeing that Wu Tsui had taken the sword, the boy hurried forward and took it.

Knowing his son's habit, the servant had prepared hot water in advance. Wu Tsui went straight into the ear room to bathe.

When he came out again, he changed into a snow-white middle coat, with water droplets hanging on his forehead, which made his eyebrows and eyes dark and his skin white as jade.

The boy was stunned.

His son is really beautiful.

But you can't see more——

Because if the childe finds out, the childe will be angry.

If he has a childe's face, he would like to wander around the streets every day to benefit the people in the capital.

But relatively speaking, he is still very lucky. After all, he can serve in the childe's yard. The real drought victims are those servant girls who want to enter the childe's yard to serve their eyes.

Childe doesn't like to let the servant girls get close.

But you are already seventeen

This worried my wife.

Wu Tsui entered the study wearing only a middle coat.

However, as soon as he sat down behind the desk, he heard a cry.

"Pa!"

Tianmu flew in and threw what he was holding in his claws on the bookcase.

Wu Chiu frowned tightly after seeing what it was.

That's a hairpin.

And it's still miss Xu's hairpin——

He looked at the big bird squatting on the bookcase in front of him with a bust like a big bird asking for credit.

He asked the bird to go out and follow him to find Sui Shan. As a result, the bird ran to the town government again?

... and stole Miss Xu's hairpin!

I'm stealing hairpins today. I don't know what to steal in the future.

What's wrong with the bird now?

"Return it," Wu Chiu said coldly.

The big bird tilted its head in doubt.

Then he suddenly flew to the direction of the bookshelf and circled in front of a shelf.

Wu Tsui didn't understand at first. When he saw the small box in the shelf, he suddenly blacked his face.

The box contains Miss Xu's previous hairpin

Naturally, he didn't want to hide here, but after he took it and threw it away, he was picked up by this troublesome stupid bird.

He threw it three times and the bird could be found every time

He was so annoyed that he had to put it away temporarily, but he forgot it.

But what does the bird mean at this time?

Do you think he has the habit of collecting Miss Xu's hairpins?

——Big bird takes risks to steal hairpins just to satisfy the owner's habit of not seeing the light?
