Two months later.

The siege of the city gates was lifted, and there were fewer officers and soldiers patrolling the avenues.

There is still more than half a month to go, and the New Year is coming. The streets have begun to have a festive atmosphere.

On this day, Ping'er went to the Four Princes' Mansion. The doorman who guarded the door still recognized her, she said that she wanted to see Qi Qing, and the two guards didn't let her woman, who was no longer a maid in the Four Princes' Mansion, in, but she also went to help her call Qi Qing out.

As a result, not only did she come out, but also Pear, Meizi, and Jiang Lang came out together.

The original self-beating master disappeared, and the four of them became idlers eating white rice in the Four Emperors' Mansion. I don't have to do any work, and I'm idle all day. At this time, they learned that Ping'er had finally settled down and came to the door as promised, and the four of them remembered to say to the Zhishu Ward first, and they were allowed to come out and have a small gathering with Ping'er for half a day. Just return at night before locking the door.

The five of them found a small teahouse, sat in a secluded corner, and began to talk.

Ping'er asked, "Have you found Miss?"

The four of them looked at each other and shook their heads, their faces full of sadness.

Ping'er asked again, "...... you How's it going?"

"It's good. The fourth master quickly rearranged a courtyard for us. Except for the main house, which is empty, the whole yard is ours. As long as we cleaned our own yard all day, there were no errands. Except for eating and sleeping, the four of us get together every day to play cards, and no one cares about us. Pear said.

At this time, Qi Qing blushed and hesitated for a while, and finally mustered up the courage to ask: "Ping'er, where have you settled? A girl lives alone, is it inconvenient? Have you eaten well? You have lost weight! You ......?"

Ping'er glanced at Qi Qing with a complicated look in her heart, then looked at her waist that was obviously fat, and then looked at Qi Qing, and said, "Brother Ping, I bought a small courtyard at the end of the sixteenth alley in Xicheng District and settled down." The neighbors are not bad, not to mention that they can take care of me, and no one bullies me. I'm doing well right now. ”

Qi Qing still had a lot of concerns before she had time to say it, and at the end, she only said: "That's good." ”

"It seems that now that the head of the house is a housekeeper, the four of you can come out for a walk at any time, so you can come out for half a day? Ping'er asked, her face full of anticipation.

"Good!" the four of them replied in unison.

Next, the five of them gossiped and sat in this teahouse for an hour.

During that time, they did not know. A pair of ears listened to their conversation in detail, and then left.

"At the end of the sixteenth alley in Xicheng District"! The man listened for a few more moments, making sure that there was no other news available. Once confirmed, it is immediately returned to the report.

When Ying Hao heard this, he glanced at Xiao Qi and Xiao Ba.

Xiao Qi and Xiao Ba immediately set out, and found Ping'er's small courtyard before Ping'er returned, and turned it upside down. Actually, it's not that exaggerated. Ping'er's small yard is so big. They are looking for a big living person, who is not there, and they will know that they are not there when they look around. I rummaged through the closet, also to make sure that no one had gone out temporarily, but I couldn't find anything related to her. Xiao Qi and Xiao Ba are in vain.

Ying Hao frowned, and ordered, "Keep staring." "I didn't look at Xiaoqi and I didn't look at Xiaoba.

Xiao Qi immediately wanted to take the order, but he was still pulled by Xiao Hachi, and Xiao Hachi went. Alas—it's hard to be stared at for a while.

At this end, in fact, the five gossips couldn't find out if anyone was staring at them, and it was only after the eavesdropping ears left that they really felt that the person was gone!

Then, the four of them hurriedly asked Ping'er, "Has Miss been looking for you?"

Ping'er shook her head and said, "I don't even know what happened, I only heard my neighbor Aunt Li and Aunt Wang say afterwards that the Four Princes' Mansion was in front of the water." It burned badly, and the fire was burning in the middle of the night! They didn't say anything, and I didn't even know that the young lady was missing. If it weren't for the fact that I saw the fourth master personally leading the troops on the street to arrest a slightly fat young lady and interrogate him for a long time, I would have thought that I am afraid that the young lady is missing. However, I hadn't settled down at that time, and I thought you should be too busy for me to bother, so I found an opportunity to ask you today. ”

The four of them looked at the screen's expressions carefully, and they all sighed at the end.

Also, even if the young lady wants to find Ping'er, can she still look for it door to door in Xicheng District? At that point in time, I'm afraid that Ping'er may not have lived in Xicheng District. And Miss has avoided so many officers and soldiers, even if Ping'er knows that she has slipped away from the Four Princes, and wants to find Miss in turn, how can Ping'er find Miss?

It's just that why do the four of them still feel that something is wrong?

Ping'er asked again: "So, what's going on now? The fourth master doesn't continue to look for the young lady anymore? Does the general know about this?"

Qi Qing suddenly stared at Ping'er tightly, and instead of answering, she asked, "Miss is missing, why don't you see you worrying and anxious?"

Ping'er's smile froze for a moment, and said, "Miss, she, she has to leave sooner or later, isn't it? This time, she chose to leave, right? In the days to come, the young lady will only live freely, eat and sleep well. Miss, when do you need us to worry about her?"

When Ping'er said this, the four of them lost their temper. Yes, others don't know, but the four of them know, Miss, sooner or later they will have to leave the Four Princes' Mansion. The young lady went on her own and took with her enough belongings. And Miss is so smart, the four of them are worried that Ping'er will be bullied, and they don't have to worry that Miss will be bullied by a non-long-eyed Xiaoxiao on the street.

Ping'er finally said, "So." Instead of worrying about this and that here, we should bless Miss, and Miss will live better than in the Four Emperors in the future...... It's good in the mansion!" The small teahouse was full of people, and Ping'er almost said that she missed her mouth, so she corrected it in time.

"Well, I wish Miss all the best in the future. Pear, Plum, and Piqing bowed their heads and prayed.

Only Jiang Lang first answered Ping'er's last question, "I'm still looking for it, but I feel that people have gone far, the world is big, and it can't be found in a day or two, so it's useless to be anxious." The general doesn't know yet. The fourth master will inform the general after the New Year. Then, he took a deep look at Ping'er, and finally asked, "Is Miss really good?"

Ping'er glanced at Jiang Lang deeply, didn't speak, and nodded vigorously.

Jiang Lang smiled mysteriously.

The five of them said goodbye.

The first thing Ping'er did when she got home was to rush into the back room and grab a grip out of thin air between the partition between the small hall and the bedroom. Gone! Sure enough, someone has been here!
