With all kinds of distracting thoughts surging in his heart, Qingyu found the wrong way back to Liu's mansion several times. At the gate of Liu's mansion, Qingyu stopped and stopped, lingering and never having the courage to come forward and knock on the door, so he stood at the door for nearly a quarter of an hour.

"Squeak" The door of Liu's Mansion opened, and "Quick Knife Liu" walked out of it with a smile, and stepped forward and said with concern: "Why don't you go in when you come?" Don't you treat Uncle Liu as an outsider. Qingyu looked at "Quick Dao Liu" and had all kinds of things to say, but when it came to his mouth, he couldn't say it.

"Quick Dao Liu" pulled Qingyu to the house, and said, "Today's things are going well." "Quick Knife Liu" asked knowingly, Qingyu said softly: "It's not satisfactory, the sky doesn't fulfill people's wishes." "Quick Dao Liu" pretended to be uneven and said: "Those people have eyes and don't know the jade of Gongzi. Then he comforted: "It's okay, you see that you can't do it today, and if you go out tomorrow to find it, there will always be a day when you find a good thing." ”

"Okay, let's not talk about that. You're tired today, so go take a bath, and I'll ask someone to bring the food to your house later." "Quick Knife Liu" said to the depressed Qingyu, Qingyu didn't speak, and walked to the house where he was resting according to the meaning of "Quick Knife Liu".

"Uncle Liu, can I ask you a question?" Qingyu took two steps and turned around and asked, "Quick knife Liu." "What do you have to say?" "Quick Knife Liu" said. "Why are you so good to me?" Qingyu asked the question that had been haunting her mind for the past few days.

"Quick Knife Liu" said: "You will know in the future." After speaking, he turned around and left, and "Quick Dao Liu" was also very conflicted in his heart in the face of Qingyu's questions.

"Only God knows whether it will be a blessing or a curse in the future, hey........." "Quick Knife Liu" looked up to the sky and sighed.

"'Lord Chief' saw Qingyu on the street today, and almost the official messenger in the capital was arrested. I don't know how they know we're 'arresting' this person. In order to let these yacha let Qingyu go, I did not hesitate to use the imperial gold medal you asked me to bring. Yan Yong had already returned to Jin Ying's house at this time, and returned the gold medal to Jin Ying with both hands.

Jin Ying put the gold medal on the table casually and said: "It's impossible for people to make people not know about such a big move, for fear that someone will cause trouble from it." Jin Ying looked at Yan Yong and continued: "It's not a good thing to catch that kid in, let him suffer some hardships inside, and then we will come forward to let him feel the benefits of entering the palace." In this way, persuasion is naturally a matter of course. ”

Yan Yong said with some remorse: "This is so that the slave maid has ruined the hard work of the 'Lord Shouling'. Jin Ying waved his hand and said, "It's okay, since we haven't been arrested today, we can put on another play and let him stay in prison for a few days." Yan Yong said: "The small ones are all under the orders of the 'Chief'. Jin Ying said to Yan Yong: "Come here." Yan Yong attached his ear, and Jin Ying whispered in Yan Yong's ear.

"Godfather, why do you think they are doing this?" On Wang Zhen's Mansion on the chessboard street in Zhengyangmen, Wan Gui asked softly on the side. Wang Zhen put the portrait of Qingyu on the table and said: "This is also where I can't figure it out, for such a kid, I used Jinyi to look everywhere in the capital, and it is really confusing to find or not to catch it." ”

Wan Gui saw that Wang Zhen couldn't figure out the original end of the matter, so he boldly guessed: "Godfather, you said that they are not going to do something rebellious." Wang Zhen listened and said to Wan Gui with angry eyes: "Nonsense, are you also talking nonsense?" Don't you think your life is too long? ”

Wan Gui listened to Wang Zhen's lesson and said repeatedly: "Yes, yes, what the godfather taught is that the child should be cautious in his words and deeds and never make the same mistake again." Wang Zhen said: "If you want to say that others want to do something rebellious, it makes sense, Jin Yingwan will not." He entered the palace when he was a child, and he had deep feelings for the emperor, how could he be rebellious and be that traitor through the ages. Wan Gui nodded yes again and again.

Wang Zhen said that Jin Ying said with feeling: "As slaves and maids, we must be loyal to the king and not disobey the lord." You have to remember. Wan Gui said: "The child remembers the words of the godfather. Wang Zhen said to Wan Gui: "Although this matter is not as serious as you said, it must not be ignored because of the strange implications, so you should pay more attention." Wan Gui said, "The child knows." "Alright, it's late at night, you can go back and rest." Wang Zhen said to Wan Gui beside him.

Wan Gui bowed to Wang Zhen and said, "Son, go back to your godfather, you should rest early." With that, he exited the room.

Qingyu lay on the bed tossing and turning, and couldn't sleep, lying on this familiar but unfamiliar bed, his thoughts were flying all over the sky, and he was full of confusion about the future. But the most worrying thing is where to go, if you don't get an errand, whether you enter the palace as Uncle Liu said, maybe there is a glimmer of life, think about yourself and enter the palace alone, but then think that after you are gone, you don't know what to do when you see your father, Qingyu thought for a long time, and then made a decision to look for a few more days, if you can't do it again, you will find a place where no one will go, and it is better to see your father and mother early than to linger like this, and when things come to such a situation, Qingyu no longer thinks about it and falls asleep.

"Kuaidao Liu" has the habit of practicing "Yixingquan" in the morning, and starts boxing when he comes to the yard at dawn. Qingyu got up early and got dressed, washed up and went out to do business, and went to the house to send breakfast and didn't have the heart to eat, and when he was thinking about things and passing by the yard, he didn't notice "Kuaidao Liu", "Kuaidao Liu" saw that Qingyu was so worried in the morning and was comforted, so he said to Qingyu who was in a hurry: "Qingyu, don't you go out so early and don't eat something?" ”

Qingyu raised his head when he heard someone calling, and when he saw that it was "Quick Dao Liu", he said, "Uncle Liu, aren't you earlier than me!" There are more opportunities to go out earlier and get ahead. "Quick Dao Liu" nodded and said, "Okay, you go quickly, I hope you succeed." Qingyu thanked him and went out.

In the morning in the capital, there is a scene of people coming and going, and the merchants are also opening the doors one after another, wiping the doors with rags, cleaning the windows or wiping the counters, and the acquaintances meet to say hello or meet together for a breakfast and a piece of harmony.

Qingyu saw that the hour was still early, so he found an early shop and bought a bowl of porridge and two fritters, Qingyu ate very slowly, and kept thinking about how to get an errand today, a bowl of porridge was eaten for half an hour before it bottomed out, Qingyu paid the money and asked the owner of the porridge shop: "Brother, ask you something, where are there many bookstores in Beijing?" The old man at the porridge shop glanced at Qingyu and said, "You go all the way along this street, go to the end, and then turn left to the East Fourth Archway, where there are quite a lot of libraries." Qingyu got up and thanked him, and looked in the direction pointed by the old man.

The old man had long been looking forward to Qingyu's departure, and a bowl of porridge had been delayed for nearly half an hour.

Walking into the East Fourth Archway, the smell of ink on the books was greeted by the street, the shops on both sides of the street were lined up, many people wearing green shirts stayed in the various bookstores, the sound of the chant was like the sound of the piano curling in the sky, Qingyu saw this scene both excited and a little inexplicably scared, the excitement in his heart stemmed from how many years buried in the depths of his heart, the desire to read burned again, and the inexplicable fear was how difficult it was to find an errand on the street where such talents were abundant. Qingyu came to a bookstore that hired a scribe and stopped, carefully read the requirements and rushed into the library to apply, Qingyu entered the library to explain his intention to the guy, and the guy asked Qingyu to take a pen and write some words casually, and the guy took the paper and went into the house to find the owner.

The owner of the museum took the paper and didn't like to shout directly, and when he came out to see Qingyu's face, he couldn't help but see the "ghost" in general, and said that he would not hire anyone here, so that Qingyu would find another place to say and tear off the notice of the hired person hanging on the door, Qingyu had to go down the shop on both sides of the street, and when he found the second Qingyu, he plunged into it again, just like when he saw the first bookstore, the owner was elated when he saw the words, but when he saw Qingyu himself, he was like seeing the "plague god" and avoided it.

The successive blows eroded Qingyu's confidence at the beginning, and he thought to himself, since I can't be a scribe, I can always go to work as a coolie, and I asked along the way and went to the dock.

"This boy excuse me." Qingyu walked towards the pier, not wanting to be stopped by a middle-aged strong man. The strong man was followed by three people, Qingyu looked at the strong man in front of him and said, "This brother Tai doesn't know what you are doing to stop my way?" The strong man said, "Childe, don't get me wrong. I just want to ask you how to get to the chessboard street. ”

"Oh, ask for directions, don't you?" Qingyu turned to the strong man and pointed to the street in front of him and said, "Follow this street to the end and turn left again, you may reach Qipan Street." Qingyu pointed with his finger as he spoke, and two pairs of eyes in the distance were staring at Qingyu and the strong man's every move.

"Oh, thank you, Childe." The strong man knew the way to Qipan Street after Qingyu's guidance, and after saying goodbye to Qingyu, the four of them left and rushed to Qipan Street.

After Qingyu and the strong man separated, the two people in the distance did not follow behind Qingyu but followed behind the strong man and his party, tiptoeing cautiously for fear of disturbing something.
