Xie Yixiang gave Qu Weizhen a salute and said softly, "Miss Qu, thank you for your help before. I wanted to thank you in person a few days ago, but I didn't want to catch the cold, and I can't come to the door until today."

   Qu Weizhen smiled politely, "Miss Xie is too polite, it's just a little effort."

  Xie Yi smiled slightly, Qu Weizhen treated her a lot more politely, and the sympathy and closeness from the first meeting disappeared. She glanced at Gu Jingyun who was talking to her mother, feeling a little embarrassed.

   She couldn't help sitting beside Qu Weizhen, reached out and hugged her hand and asked intimately, "What are you playing?"

  Qu Weizhen pulled away his hand as he was about to take something, raised the bamboo stick in his hand and said, "We are going to make lanterns, the Mid-Autumn Festival is approaching, and our lanterns are all made by ourselves."

  Xie Yi withdrew his hand as if nothing had happened, smiled and said, "You guys are really clever, I wouldn't do it."

  Qu Jingxi broke An An's hand and took the bamboo stick. Hearing this, he looked up at the two of them, and finally scratched his face and lowered his head.

   He still doesn't want to ask about things between girls. My sister doesn't seem to be in a good mood, so it's better for him to stay away.

Qu Weizhen was in a really bad mood. She admired Xie Yi at first, because although she was embarrassed at the time, she bravely asked them for help, and she saw that her shoes were broken during the escape, and the soles and toes of her feet were broken. They all bleed, but they still insisted on escaping.

   This tenacity is very similar to hers, so even if she knew she would get into trouble, she immediately pulled her into the carriage and brought her back to the capital.

   But the teacher doesn't like her. The teacher is soft-hearted and rarely expresses her dislike to others, especially for children of this age, she has always been tolerant.

   So, when she noticed the teacher's attitude, she couldn't help but scrutinize and thank her, and then she knew why the teacher didn't like her.

  Her companions, many children who were kidnapped like her are still in the devil's cave, but after she was rescued, she didn't show her a word, and when she arrived in the capital, she never thought of reporting to the officials to save her companions.

  Qu Weizhen felt a little uncomfortable in her heart, but it wasn't enough to make her hate her, maybe she was just timid?

   But the timid and cowardly have the courage to escape, the ability to escape from the city, and the courage to ask her for help?

   By the time Chu Yi was sent, Qu Weizhen finally knew the whole story, and completely lost his affection for Xie Yi.

   Having lived in the capital for more than three years, and having been in contact with the ladies, he naturally knows the importance of chastity and reputation in their eyes and in the eyes of their family.

   But no matter what kind of silk satin she wears, what kind of moral articles she writes, or what kind of academy she attends, in her bones, she is still the rural Qu Weizhen who struggles for survival and happiness.

   In her heart, chastity and honor came after life, her own life, and the life of her companions.

   Nothing is more important than being alive.

   What's more, it's just a reputation that may be damaged. Is it necessary to kill a dozen known people?

  So Qu Weizhen doesn't like Xie Yi, but she is no longer a child, so naturally she won't show it clearly, she just put away her former closeness and is a lot more polite to her. And, in the future, if the two sides can not communicate, they should not communicate.

  For the time being, Qu Weizhen doesn't want to be friends with Xie Yi.

   Qu Weizhen, who is not yet twelve years old, is very simple-minded and self-willed. If she doesn't want to be friends, she doesn't bother to maintain this relationship.

  Xie Yi stopped approaching Qu Weizhen deliberately after realizing that her attitude had changed. She thought that the other party must have learned something from Chu Yi and thought her bad. In that case, why should she rush to please her?

   Qu Weizhen is just a country girl. If Mrs. Gu hadn't accepted her as her apprentice, she would be nothing.

  Therefore, neither of them had any intentions, the scene immediately quieted down, Xie Yi sat beside him, and Qu Weizhen lowered his head and concentrated on making lanterns.

  An An still insisted on making trouble for Qu Jingxi, and quickly pulled the paper and bamboo pieces, causing Qu Jingxi to be in a hurry.

   Xie Yi and Qu Weizhen both thought that after this time, they probably won't meet again.

   Strange!

  The children couldn't get along, but Li Baolu and the county master Chonghua became more and more like each other. They were almost fifteen years apart, and they were separated by a previous life, but they unexpectedly matched. Whether it is personality, or three views and principles of doing things.

This made Li Baolu sigh with Gu Jingyun in the dead of night, "County Chonghua not only has a good personality, but also has an open-minded personality. Why does Miss Xie care about the reputation of the boudoir?" Li Baolu didn't think there was anything wrong with caring about the reputation of the boudoir, but she would It is a bit too much to put the reputation of one person's boudoir above the lives of more than a dozen people.

  Gu Jingyun was not satisfied that Baolu always interacted with the Chonghua County Lord these days and ignored him, so he said: "It means that she is not good at teaching. For the sake of the children, you should not interact with her."

  Li Baolu was dissatisfied, "I am close to her, what does it have to do with the children?"

"Why is it irrelevant? You get close to her, then the children of the two families will inevitably communicate with each other. If you work harder, maybe the children will become friends in the future, and Weizhen and Jingxi will be fine. They are grown up now. If you are young, you can also distinguish between right and wrong, and our daughter is still young, so the people who come and go are especially important."

  Gu Jingyun was talking nonsense in a serious manner. If Li Baolu had been staring at him all the time, he would not have noticed the slyness in his eyes.

  Li Baolu couldn't help pinching the flesh on his waist and twisting, "Can you still build a utopian castle for your daughter to keep all evil out?"

  Gu Jingyun tilted his head, "Utopia?"

   "It is the most beautiful castle in the ideal."

Gu Jingyun held her face and kissed her, smiled and said, "How can there be such a place in this world? Good depends on evil to exist, and evil is also relative to good. The best is often the worst. I can't bear to let it go. You and An An live in a place like that."

"But An An really shouldn't get along with Xie Yi too closely," Gu Jingyun covered her mouth and stopped what she was about to say, "An An's personality is too domineering, and Xie Yi has too many thoughts, and is too early with this person Contact is only bad for An An, not good, wait for her to grow up..."

  Li Baolu was thoughtful, and after that, she seldom invited Chonghua County Master to visit her house, and she herself seldom visited Xie Mansion.

  Because of similar interests, Li Baolu has a friend who can talk.

   But their communication is secret, it is better to say that it is relative, relative to other people. At most, I meet with the county master Chonghua once or twice a month, and usually I spend more time with Gu Jingyun and An An.

  Gu Jingyun's "Geography of Mountains and Rivers" has already begun to be written. In addition to the courses in the academy, he has been very busy recently. In order to take care of him, Li Baolu takes An An at home after work and does not let her disturb Gu Jingyun's work.

   And the days of Chu Yi returning home were delayed again and again, and finally he was able to walk down the ground, and Chu Yi's second uncle finally returned from a business trip.

   He was going out of town to pass the decree, so the first step in returning to the capital was to report to the Ministry of Rites, file the archived documents, and then go home.

   When he returned to Chu's house, he would have time to drink a sip of hot tea in the future, and his mother cried and threw herself into his arms, and then a thunder struck, and he learned that his eldest brother's only son, his own nephew, was missing!

  Chu Sheng almost couldn't stand, and he held him with a pale face and asked: "When did you disappear, but someone was sent to look for it, why didn't you send me a letter?"

Chu Sheng's wife Yu Shi replied on behalf of her mother-in-law while wiping her tears, "I didn't see you more than a month ago. The academy is about to start. The child asked me for some money to buy some books and ink, and I asked Laifu to follow me. He went together, who knows that there are many people on the road, and if one makes a mistake, he will lose his sight. Laifu didn't take it to heart at first, thinking that my brother is ten years old, and the street is familiar, so I can't lose it. So I called the young master and went forward to look for it. Who would have thought that he had walked half a street and didn't see it, so Laifu panicked and hurriedly searched all over the street. It wasn't until night when he saw that he couldn't find Yi Ge'er and then went back to the house. Report, I will send someone to look for it, where can I find it?"

   Chu Sheng heard that he had been lost for more than a month, and his head was dizzy, and he almost fell to the ground. It's been more than a month, how can anyone find it?

   His eyes were wide and he glared at his wife and asked, "Then why didn't you write to me earlier?"

Mrs. Yu cried even more and wiped away her tears: "How dare I tell the master, let's not say that the master has been on his way, I don't know the address, even if I know my concubine, I don't dare to let you worry about the family. The person who went to Beijing to pass the decree knew that he could still leave the errand and come back?

Chu Sheng shook his lips and did not speak, but Mother Chu said quickly, "I don't blame your daughter-in-law, she is also doing it for your own good. Bullying the king is a big crime, and he will be beheaded. The plan for now is to hurry up and find Brother Yi, second child. , you are an official, you must know a lot of high-ranking officials, ask them to help, pay attention to everywhere, maybe you will be able to find Brother Yi..."

  Chu Sheng only felt that his mouth was full of bitterness, how could it be so simple.

If the child who was kidnapped by the trafficker cannot be found after two days, it will be difficult to find it again. Chu Yi has been kidnapped for more than a month. get?

   But if you can't find Chu Sheng, you have to look for it.

   He didn't change his clothes, he just walked outside the mansion and asked, "Can I report to the official, will there be any response from the yamen?"

   Mrs. Yu tightened the handkerchief in her hand, and asked with surprise on her face, "Do you want to report to the officials?

  Chu Sheng stopped, looked back at his wife, Yu was caught by his gaze, squeezed Pa Ziqiang in his hand and said with a smile, "What's wrong, sir, but what did I do wrong?"

  Chu Sheng turned his head and walked directly out, "Retrieve all the servants who went out to find people. I will ask them later. I will report to the official first."

  Chu Sheng got in the carriage and was stopped by the carriage before leaving the house. His face was cold, he opened the curtain and was about to ask, when the boy outside snorted: "Is it Master Chu of the Chu residence in Tongzhengfang?"

  Chu Sheng found that he did not know the other party, so he frowned slightly: "Exactly, who is your Excellency?"

   "In Xia Nanfeng, Young Master Chu Yi from your mansion is in my mansion, and I asked Master Chu to move to pick Young Master Chu home."

   Chu Sheng was stunned, his first thought was that he had been deceived.
