In the breezy morning, in the prosperous Chang'an City, the bustling Suzaku Street is connected to Jinhua Lane and Yujin Lane with a few people.

In the Jin Palace, Li Zhi was changing his clothes in Yujin Lane, so he heard Ping Wei walking in in a hurry, and said to Li Zhi: "Your Highness, just now the maid of the Su Mansion said that the eldest grandson girl is gone." ”

"Huh?" Li Zhi looked up at him suspiciously, and said casually: "Didn't she go back to her uncle's mansion?" You haven't withdrawn that girl? ”

"Slave, slave forgot, Your Highness is true, what happened yesterday afternoon, the maid said that Mrs. Su ordered someone to look for an afternoon, but she didn't find the eldest grandson." Ping Wei bowed his head and admitted his mistake, and said seriously to Li Zhi.

"What's going on, can you ask clearly?" Li Zhi got dressed, walked to Pingwei's side, and asked.

"She just said that the eldest grandson girl was missing, but she didn't elaborate." Ping did not reply.

"You go to the girl and ask her about it, and then come back and tell you." Li Zhi said with a flat face, and walked out of the room with his feet raised.

At this time, Xu Promise, who was lying in the thatched house, woke up leisurely, Xu Promise suddenly opened his eyes, glanced at the room casually, and sat up in shock in an instant.

Xu Yu looked at the tattered house in front of him, and looked down again, the quilt covering his body, although the quilt was worn, but the quilt was still clean.

Xu Promise sat on the bed and looked at the dilapidated and poor house, and wondered, "Why am I here, where is this?" ”

Xu Yu rubbed his head, and muttered again: "I was in the private room of the Drunken Immortal Building, and I drank the wine sent by Xiao Er, and then I didn't remember anything." ”

"Girl, wake up, get up and have some food!" When Xu Yue heard the sound, he looked up and saw an old woman standing outside the door, looking straight ahead, and said to her.

"Mother-in-law, are you? Oh! Mother-in-law, how did I end up here? Xu Yu hurriedly asked, then lifted the quilt, moved to the side of the bed, and looked down to see that his shoes were not placed in front of the bed, but a pair of old cloth shoes were placed, and he also saw the old clothes on his body.

Xu Yu stretched out his hand and pulled the corner of the clothes on his body to take a look, looked up suspiciously, and Granny Qiu, who was standing at the door, listened to Granny Qiu explain: "Girl, you fainted yesterday, it was my family Hui'er who rescued you, your clothes were wet yesterday, you are wearing my old woman's clothes, girl, you make do with them first, your clothes have been washed and sunburned." ”

Xu Promise smiled bitterly at Granny Qiu, then put his foot into the old cloth shoes, bowed his head and bent down to lift the shoes himself, walked to Granny Qiu, helped Granny Qiu and asked, "Mother-in-law, where is this?" Is it far from Chang'an City? ”

"Oops! Not far away, our Zhuangzi is the closest one to Chang'an City, hehehe!" Granny Qiu patted the promised hand and explained with a smile.

"Mother-in-law, do you know how to go?" Xu Promise looked at Granny Qiu tenderly and asked with a smile.

"Follow the path straight ahead, you will reach the pipeline, continue to walk along the pipeline, and you will enter Chang'an City." Granny Qiu pulled the promise with one hand, stretched forward with the other, groped her way to the courtyard, and pointed forward to the promise according to her previous memory.

"Mother, let's eat!" As soon as Granny Qiu finished speaking, Xu Yu saw that in the courtyard, in the low thatched hut on the side, a big man came out, holding two small and delicate bowls, and shouted to Xu Yue.

"Hey! Girl! Eat first, and talk after eating. Granny Qiu responded with a smile, stretched out her hand to make a promise, and groped around the room again.

Xu Yu looked at Granny Qiu, and then looked at the big man who walked into the house with the bowl, and was surprised for a moment and didn't know what to do, so he followed Granny Qiu into the house.

"Mother, this way." Qiu Hui put down the dishes and chopsticks, walked to Xu Promise, helped Granny Qiu to the table, and sat down.

"Mother-in-law, can't you see?" Xu Promise looked at the actions of the two of them and asked suspiciously.

"Yes! I can't see it, embroidered earlier, embroidered. The old woman explained with a blank smile.

"Mother, eat, give." Qiu Hui glanced at the promise, and said as he handed the dishes and chopsticks to Granny Qiu's hand.

Granny Qiu held it in the bowl and said softly to Xu Promise: "Girl, it's commonplace, don't dislike it, eat some!" ”

Xu Promise glanced at them, felt a little hungry, looked down at the food on the table, swallowed and spit, and listened to what Granny Qiu said to her, Promise smiled at Granny Qiu and said, "Don't dislike it, don't dislike it." ”

Xu Yu picked up the dishes and chopsticks, looked at the fragrant rice, and then glanced at the large plate of chicken on the table, and reached out to grab a piece of chicken and eat it.

Qiu Hui, who lowered his head to pick up the rice, looked up and peeked at Xu Promise, and then took a piece of meat and put it into Granny Qiu's bowl.

"Oops! Hui'er, eat it yourself! I'm not used to eating meat. Granny Qiu felt the meat in the bowl, stretched it forward, and said casually.

Xu Yue looked at Qiu Hui stretching out the bowl, caught the meat that Granny Qiu had brought back, glanced at Xu Hui, and continued to eat with his head down.

Xu Promise looked at them suspiciously, how could he just eat and not eat vegetables, Xu Promise felt embarrassed to eat, and then sandwiched a piece of meat, thinking about putting it in Granny Qiu's bowl, stretching it halfway, thinking of what Granny Qiu had just said, he turned around again and put it in Qiu Hui's bowl.

As soon as Xu Yu put it in Qiu Hui's bowl and was about to eat, he saw Qiu Hui, who looked up instantly, staring at her. Xu promised to face him, smiled bitterly, and then lowered his head and ate obediently.

Half a quarter of an hour later, he promised to eat, poured the water on the table, rinsed his mouth, and said to Granny Qiu, who was sitting outside the door basking in the sun: "Mother-in-law, when will my clothes be dry?"

"It's probably going to be a day." Granny Qiu closed her eyes, raised her face to feel the sun, and then replied.

When he heard the promise, he was instantly anxious, hurriedly got up, walked to the cool clothes rack, raised his hand to collect the clothes, turned his head to Granny Qiu and said, "Mother-in-law, thank you for the meal, I am in a hurry to go back, otherwise the people in my family should worry about me." ”

As soon as Xu Hui finished speaking, he was about to turn around to get his clothes, when his hand was grabbed by Qiu Hui who came out of the kitchen, Xu Xu looked at Qiu Hui in surprise, and found that Qiu Hui didn't look at himself, and took a step behind him and covered his mouth.

"Girl, what's wrong with you, do you want to go back now? Then let Hui'er send you! Granny Qiu, who was sitting at the door basking in the sun, replied with a smile.

Xu Promise looked at Qiu Hui in horror, and shouted indistinctly, and then heard Granny Qiu's voice coming over, and shouted even louder.

"Mother, she said she wanted to walk around the village, I'll take her to see it." Qiu Hui said, pushing the promise that was encircled in his arms and walked towards the outside of the courtyard.

Xu Yu struggled hard, kept whining and shouting, and watched Qiu Hui push himself out of the yard and slowly push him to the hill behind the house.

At this time, in the Jin Palace, Ping Wei walked briskly towards Li Zhi's study, walked through the long corridor, came to Li Zhi's study, knocked on the door, gently pushed the door open and walked in.

Ping Wei walked to Li Zhi's side and said to Li Zhi, who was sitting in front of the chessboard: "Your Highness, the matter is true, the Su family is talking about the matter of Uncle Guo's mansion coming to the door yesterday, and I also asked the maid about the person related to this matter, but I was a step too late." The maid said that the maid of the eldest grandson girl was pushed into the well for washing in the backyard and drowned by Mrs. Su's personal maid Lan'er. She also told me about an old slave who was sent home by Mrs. Sue. I asked for the address, I searched, I found her house, and when I saw that there was no one in her house, I climbed over the wall and went in, and saw that the door was wide open, and the old slave was lying in the back room. I climbed out and walked down the alley and listened to the people around me talking about her son, who had been making a lot of noise last night, and I guessed she was. ”

Li Zhi put down the chess pieces twisted in his hand, glanced at Ping Wei expressionlessly, and then got up and said, "Let's go, take a gift and go to Uncle Guo's mansion." With that, he led Ping Wei out of the study and walked towards the door of the house.

After a while, Li Zhi led Pingwei into Uncle Guo's mansion, and was led into Uncle Guo's study by the little servant.

"Uncle." Li Zhi walked into the study and said with a salute to the eldest grandson Wuji, who was reading a book.

"Oh! The Ninth Highness is down, please take a seat. The eldest grandson Wuji turned around when he heard this, saw that it was Li Zhi, and hurriedly said.

"Uncle is polite, just call me a childish slave." Li Zhi said respectfully again.

"Okay, you kid, why did you think of coming to me today?" Uncle Guo's eldest grandson Wuji pulled Li Zhi to sit on the chair next to him and asked with a smile.

"Didn't I just hear that my uncle took Sister Nuo'er back to the house, and I thought about it because I didn't come for a while, so I came to take a look." Li Zhi glanced at it casually, and the maid took the hot tea in front of him and said with a smile.

"Humph!" When the eldest grandson Wuji heard Li Zhi talk about the promise, he subconsciously snorted coldly, and then said, "Alas! The girl didn't know what was going on, she fell ill when she returned from the Su family. ”

"Seriously? Do you want me to ask the doctor to come and take a look at her? Li Zhi said a little anxiously.

"Hehehe! No, it's not very serious. Eldest Sun Wuji smiled and said casually.

"Uncle, isn't it convenient for me to go and see Sister Nuo'er?" Li Zhi stood up and saluted, and asked.

"Oh? Here, you'd better wait for her next time and go see her! Don't let her pass on your illness. The eldest grandson Wuji helped Li Zhi up with a smile and explained with a smile.

"Oh! Uncle, I heard in the alley today that I heard that the Su family in the uncle's mansion went to make trouble, I don't know if it's true. After Li Zhi sat down, he picked up the teacup, gently flicked the lid of the teacup, and said casually.

"How can there be such a thing, it's just that the girl who came back with Nuo'er stole the valuables in my house, sold them secretly, was found by Mrs. and sent them back, and today the Su family also sent a message, saying that the girl committed suicide in fear of sin." The eldest grandson Wuji took a sip of tea, and after putting down the teacup, he explained with a smile.

"Oh! That's good, the next time I hear it, I will definitely ask my subordinates to stop them, and don't let them ruin the reputation of the uncle's mansion. Li Zhi replied flatly.

"Then thank you, Your Highness." The eldest grandson Wuji said with a smile.

"Hehehe, uncle, I still have something to do, so I'll go back first." Li Zhi said and took the gift box from Pingwei's hand, put it on the table, and then got up and gave a salute to Uncle Guo's eldest grandson, Wuji.

"Someone, send His Royal Highness Nine." The eldest grandson Wuji got up and shouted outside the door.

"Uncle stays." After Li Zhi finished speaking to the eldest grandson Wuji, he turned around and walked out with the little guy who led the way.
