In the evening, before the little girl woke up, her family was found. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info As expected, the little girl was born in a rich family. Just because the elders of the family were full of office, they took the Manchu family back to the capital by boat to report on their work.

At noon, the boat docked outside Meiling County for a while, and the nurse took her ashore to breathe after she had just learned to walk. Who knew that in the blink of an eye, the little girl was gone.

Her family thought that she had accidentally fallen into the water, and the organization that was still in a hurry was fishing nearby with the boatman. It wasn't until the officials came over that they knew that the little girl had actually been abducted by the abductor.

So the Lord Qi, who was said to be a deep court and might directly enter the Ministry of Officials after returning to Beijing, rushed over in person with a few entourages and his wife.

At that time, it was just in time for dinner in the yamen, Yin Che, Hua Lianyue, and Huo Lianjue sat in the study to eat. A table of good dishes with curling white smoke, full of color, flavor and flavor, attracted everyone's mouthwatering. The chef has been passed on by Xiaoshuang these days, and the dishes she makes really have the level of a restaurant chef.

Yin Che bit the bamboo chopstick, but his eyes kept rolling on Huo Lianjue's lips, and his eyes were full of weirdness and narrowness. Huo Lianjue was very generous, his face was not red and his heart was not beating, and he ate calmly without realizing anything.

Hua Lianyue didn't dare to look up, and her little face was almost buried in the rice bowl.

Huo Lianjue saw that half of the rice in her bowl had been eaten, but he didn't mean to pick up vegetables, he smiled slightly, put a few pieces of fish meat into her bowl, and said, "Don't patronize eating, you should also use some dishes." ”

Hua Liyue raised her little face with red cheeks, smiled at him, and buried her head again. He shook his head helplessly, scooped up another bowl of hot chicken soup, and blew it slightly and put it in her hand. Hua Liyue happened to be thirsty, so she picked it up and drank it.

Well, the temperature is just right, just right to press the rice grains in the throat.

Yin Che suddenly sneered and said, "No wonder Ye Zhutou would rather go to the kitchen to eat than join in the fun here, I can't eat anymore." ”

Hua Lianyue was already weak because of the scar on Huo Lianjue's lips, and when she heard this, she was immediately choked by the chicken soup in her mouth and coughed violently. Huo Lianjue hurriedly put down the bamboo chopsticks and patted her on the back, while glancing at Yin Che dissatisfiedly, and said, "I can ask the kitchen to prepare an extra chair for Yin Zhutou." ”

The narrow smile on Yin Che's face froze, whether he wanted to be so disgusted so obviously.

After a moment of silence, she said stupidly: "It's just a joke, don't you want to be so serious." As she spoke, she poked the rice in the bowl with a bamboo chopstick, as if poking someone's body.

Hua Lianyue finally stopped coughing, she blushed, gently waved away the palm he patted on her back, and said to Yin Che: "In the Yamen, you love to grind your teeth, and you can't stop your mouth when you eat." ”

Yin Che covered his cheeks and said with a sore tooth: "I'm sorry, I was sour by that Miss Zhong today." It's really a bit hard to eat. ”

"Miss Zhong?" Hua Lianyue asked curiously: "Didn't she just move in, I see that she is polite and gentle for a few weeks, why did she provoke you again?"

Yin Che sighed and said, "It's just that the etiquette is too thoughtful, I look tired and panicked, but she is not tired of it." Hey, I can't stand it when I think about living in a cross-courtyard with her. Speaking of this, she raised her eyes, stared at Hua Lianyue with a sparkle of light, and said, "Yue girl, why don't I move to your West Cross Courtyard to live!"

"No!" Before Hua Lianyue could speak, Huo Lianjue had already preemptively refused.

"Why?" Yin Che stared at him with wide eyes, as if she would not give up if he didn't give a reasonable explanation.

Huo Lianjue coughed lightly, he couldn't say that because of the sudden onset of Hua Lianyue that night, the past that made everyone helpless left a lot of shadows in his heart. So he was used to going to her house every night to have a look.

He glanced indifferently at Yin Che, who was dissatisfied, and said, "If you don't like Miss Zhong, you can move to the North Cross Courtyard." The place there is spacious and should satisfy you. ”

Yin Che slapped the bamboo chopsticks in his hand on the table with a snap. She said with great dissatisfaction: "Don't think I don't know, although the North Cross Courtyard is spacious, because it has fallen into disrepair, most of the tiles on the roof have been broken. There is a lot of rain in this spring, how can it be lived. ”

Huo Lianjue said coldly: "Even if most of the tiles are broken, there is still no problem in barely cleaning up a room that can live in people." ”

"Moon girl......" Yin Che, who was hooked up by his angry tone, was about to fight harder, but the door of the study was pushed open.

Xie Yuanda strode over, hugged his fist at Huo Lianjue, and said, "Lord Huo, there is an adult surnamed Qi outside, who came to visit, saying that the little girl who was rescued by Hua Zhukuai today was lost by his Qi family. ”

"My lord, what my lord?" Huo Lianjue asked with a frown.

"My subordinates don't know. Xie Yuanda shook his head and said, "That lord has a very big shelf, and he only listened to his entourage call him an adult, but he didn't elaborate on the origin of his official position. I heard that it was passing through here by boat, and the nurse lost the child by negligence when she docked to replenish food. ”

"Okay! I'll take a look. Huo Lianjue stood up and instructed Xie Yuanda: "Hold the child." ”

Seeing Huo Lianjue, after Xie Yuanda left with the child, Hua Lianyue poked the fish in the bowl with a bamboo chopstick, but she didn't send it to her mouth for a long time, and she seemed to have no appetite.

Yin Che peeked at her, and after half a sound, he finally couldn't help but ask curiously: "Yue girl, I have always wanted to ask you, why are you so keen on ...... these days?"

"Keen to rescue those abducted children?" Hua Lianyue sighed and said, "It's just because I accidentally saw a painting in Xiao Fengnan's place......."

Hua Lianyue narrated in a low voice, and Yin Che also put down the bamboo chopstick, supported his chin with his hand, and listened very seriously. The woman who became a prostitute because she was abducted in the story also made her sigh, who was used to seeing life and death.

However, what she didn't expect was that Xiao Fengnan, who seemed indifferent and decadent, still had such a chivalrous side. She bit her lower lip, her thoughts churning.

After telling the story of the painting, Hua Lianyue took a sip of the teacup and continued: "By the way, I forgot to tell you before. When I came down from Dongling, I saw Wufu Building being renovated. Listening to those who do things, it turned out that Boss Xiao's younger brother took over the restaurant, and I guess there should be no one else except Xiao Fengnan......"

As soon as she finished speaking, Yin Che had already stood up. She stomped her foot and said, "Why didn't you say it earlier!" she didn't wait for Hua Lianyue to answer, her body flashed, and she disappeared like a ghost.

Hua Lianyue stared at the wide open door and the empty bowl dripping on the table, and a drop of cold sweat fell on her forehead.

After half a ring, he smiled to himself: "This temperament is too anxious, and I don't let people finish my words." Before the restaurant was renovated, Xiao Fengnan would not appear so soon at all. If she waits all night in vain, she will come back tomorrow and come back to me again!"

Hua Lianyue had a sad face, and naturally she had no appetite to continue eating. So she stood up and pulled out a book casually, and then leaned on the soft collapse, ready to look through it!

Leaning on the coral soft pillow, she always felt that there seemed to be something hard under her, which made her panic. So she reached under the futon and touched it, but pulled out a yellow and clear object. It is the little girl who wears a gold lock plate engraved with the words 'longevity and wealth' around her neck.

Hua Lianyue patted the door of her head, and suddenly remembered that she was afraid that this golden lock would make the child sleep uncomfortable, so she took it off and threw it aside. When Xie Yuanda hugged people away, she completely forgot about it.

Hoping that it was too late to send it now, she grabbed the gold lock plate, got up and walked out of the study without thinking, and went to the main hall of the outer courtyard to find it.

The door of the main hall was facing the yamen, and Hua Lianyue came out of the backyard and could only go around from the side. There are a lot of leafy cannas planted along the road, but unfortunately it has not yet reached the flowering period. The spring breeze carries a slight chill, and the huge banana leaves are blowing in the wind.

It was already dark, and the temperature was much lower than during the day. Fortunately, on this bluestone-paved path, the crescent moon sprinkled a clear light. Although Hua Liyue did not carry a lantern, she was also very familiar with walking, and she quickly reached the side of the main hall by dividing flowers and willows all the way.

Two carved vermilion lacquer windows opened outward, and there was a glowing candlelight inside. When Hua Lianyue passed by, she squinted and glanced in. With just one glance, she stopped and opened her mouth wide in astonishment.

The hall was lit with candles, but it was silent. There were only two people in the room, but neither of them spoke. Huo Lianjue sat at the top of the seat, holding a cup of tea in his hand and drinking it slowly. Well, that's fine, because that's what he always wears. Who made him the biggest in the yamen!

But across from him, there was a strange man with a green beard under his chin, about thirty years old, and very well-dressed. Of course, this is not the key, what makes Hua Liyue feel shocked is that this man who looks extremely arrogant in appearance and temperament actually knelt on the ground in a humble posture.

He can't be Lord Qi with a big shelf in Xie Yuanda's mouth, right?

Hua Lianyue pondered incomprehensibly, since the shelf is big, why do you have to kneel in front of a magistrate so humbly?

Shaking her head in confusion, the cool breeze suddenly rose under the banana, and the chill on her face made her can't help but cover her mouth and sneeze slightly. Rubbing the tip of her sour nose, she looked into the room again, only to see that the man kneeling on the ground had already stood up.

Huo Lianjue put down the tea cup in his hand, and the lid and cup body were lightly buckled, making a crisp sound. He raised his voice and asked, "Who's outside?"

Oops, it's been discovered! Hua Lianyue stuck out the tip of her tongue mischievously, and was about to speak, but she heard a gentle voice from the opposite side: "My lord, it's me!" Listening to the voice, it seems to be Zhong Lingxiu, who only lived in the yamen today.

Hua Lianyue was a little startled, what is the situation?

Huo Lianjue's gaze was originally on the left window lattice where Hua Lianyue was hiding, but he didn't expect Zhong Lingxiu to actually speak under the window lattice on the right. He frowned and glanced at the man, who understood and immediately arched his hand and said, "Then I will leave here." ”

Seeing Huo Lianjue bowing slightly, the man retreated respectfully. Hua Lianyue then remembered that she was still holding other people's gold lock plates in her hands, if they left like this, wouldn't she become a thief who stole people's property. She hurriedly chased after her.

finally chased to the gate of the county office, and only then did he block the man who was about to leave. At this moment, he was accompanied by a few entourages dressed in strong suits, and the little girl was held in the hands of a beautiful woman wearing an autumn-colored engraved satin dress.

The woman's face was rippling with tears but with a happy look, she put her cheek against the cheek of the little girl, and kept whispering in her mouth, obviously extremely emotional.

This woman is probably the mother of the girl!

Hua Lianyue bit her lip, and inexplicably felt that her nose was a little sour. Perhaps because she herself has not had a mother since she was a child, although her father and brother treated her very well, they could not fill the vacancy of her mother after all. So every time she sees such a scene, she is always prone to emotional outburst.

When the man saw Hua Lianyue running out of the yamen in a hurry, his expression moved, and he hurriedly stepped forward and said, "This girl, but what else does the county magistrate have to order?"

Hua Lianyue came back to her senses, shook her head again and again, and said, "No, my lord, he didn't say anything." It's just that the child's golden lock plate has fallen, and I specially sent it to you. Hua Liyue spread out her palm, revealing the golden lock plate that shone with golden light.

She smiled slightly, strode to the woman who was holding the little girl in every possible way, and personally hung the gold lock plate on the little girl's neck. said: "This time the incident is extremely dangerous, if you really let the crutch take away, your mother and daughter are afraid that they will never see each other in this life." Next time, if you take your child out again, you must be careful. ”

The woman looked at her gratefully, nodded again and again when she heard the words, and said, "The girl is very right, if I take Qingjia out in the future, I will definitely not let her leave my sight again." ”

"Is Qingjia her name?" Hua Lianyue couldn't help but itch her hands, pinched the little girl's tender cheeks again, and said with a smile: "Could it be from the 'Golden Micro Gelsin Festival, the jade law should be Qingjia." Bian Ma Qiu was anxious, and Zheng Hongxiao was oblique. ’”

"Yes, exactly. A smile tugged at the woman's lips.

After hesitating for a moment, she said, "This girl, are you the flower catcher who grabbed the crutch?"

"It's just a coincidence!" Hua Lianyue's words were tantamount to admitting her identity.

"It turned out that a serious benefactor had arrived. The woman's blurted out words that made the corners of Hua Liyue's mouth twitch.

Is there still a distinction between the serious and the unserious?

The man had been standing aside, caressing his chin and silently, a strange look flashed in his eyes when he heard the words. He took a few steps forward, hugged Hua Lianyue, and said, "Under Qi Yuanzheng, thank you Hua Catcher for your maintenance of the little girl Qingjia." ”

Although he did not describe his official position, this kind of posture is not an ordinary person at first glance. So Hua Lianyue also gave up her hand and returned a salute to him.

After saying a few words of thanks, Qi Yuanzheng actually took off the gold lock plate from Qing Jia's neck, stuffed it into Hua Lianyue's hand, and said, "If Hua Yu has a chance to come to the capital, you can go to Wuyi Lane by the Vermilion Bird Bridge to find Qi Mansion." At that time, our husband and wife will be grateful to Hua Catch quickly, and this golden lock plate will be used as a certificate. ”
