Guo didn't want to tell Qin Li about this, because Li'er and Ziqin were about the same age, and they didn't have a family.

Guo sighed lightly and said:

"I don't care about this for the time being. Anyway, in a few days, it will be the New Year. Wait until next year. ”

Qin Li nodded slightly, "Okay." ”

Half an hour later.

Qin Li bathed and returned to the bedroom, only to hear Qinghe say to her:

"Miss, the maid went to the hall before, and I happened to see the lord and the lady. The old man was sending off the guests at that time, and when he returned to the hall, he said to his wife that in finding out that Fu Yu had taken away Mozhu, it was really thanks to Hu Yao, a disciple of Hu Langzhong, who helped him. ”

"Hmm." Qin Li smiled happily and said.

In the pharmacy before, she asked Hu Yao if she had seen Mozhu, but Hu Yao didn't say anything. She thought that after he went to the painting boat, he really didn't see Mozhu.

But she didn't think about it, after she dined in the private room, her mother told her that Hu Yao went to inquire about the news last night, saw Mo Zhu, and also met Fu Yu.

She was already a little dissatisfied with some of the things that those two scumbags had done. No, according to my mother, Mozhu served the guests there after being taken to the painting boat by Fu Yu.

She thought in her heart that even if Mo Zhu was deceived by Fu Yu, she was not worthy of sympathy. Who told Mozhu to run with that scumbag by himself?

She had heard her mother say that this morning, the people from the government had gone to the academy and told her father that Mozhu had been found.

Just like that, they invited her father, Qin Yi, to the mansion.

Qin Yi saw Mozhu in the hall of the mansion, and did not promise Governor Chu to take her back to the mansion.

Seeing Qin Yi like this, Governor Chu felt unhappy and asked:

"This official sent someone to help you find the lost maidservant, Mozhu, who helped at Ling Ai's request. But now, the official has sent some people out, and finally found the ink bamboo for you and brought it back. You saw Mozhu, but you refused to take her home. Why? ”

Qin Yi saluted to the prefect of Chu and said:

"Returning to the adult, the old man did not take Mozhu back to the house because the old man understands the truth that 'a gentleman has the beauty of an adult'. Since Fu Gongzi is interested in Mo Zhu, and Mo Zhu also has affection for Fu Gongzi, why does the old man have to take Mo Zhu back and break them up? ”

Chu Zhifu gritted his teeth faintly, "Ridiculous! ”

Qin Yi said confidently: "No." In the old man's opinion, the old man is doing good. ”

In desperation, the prefect of Chu was not embarrassed, and asked Qin Yi to take Mozhu back to the house.

Qin Li couldn't help but snicker after hearing what Guo said about it.

You must know that in the eyes of Chu Zhifu, Fu Yu is at least a talent, even if he has no errands to do at present, he is qualified to be his future son-in-law.

Because Chu Xinyan is their family's concubine, not their concubine. can find a talent like Fu Yu and marry Fu Yu as the main room, it is not considered to be succumbing to Chu Xinyan.

It's just that when her father said that, it was like forcing Fu Yu to take Mozhu as a concubine, and he couldn't satisfy the prefect of Chu.

Chu Xinyan, the second daughter of the prefect of Chu, is still recuperating at home and has not married to the Fu Mansion. How could she let Fu Yu take a concubine before Chu Xinyan married Fu Yu?

Moreover, when she went to the government to see Governor Chu before, she said that she would be thanked afterwards. But Mozhu was taken away by Fu Yu, and someone also saw Mozhu on the painting boat.

The person who provided the testimony was none other than Hu Yao.

Hu Yao not only said where Mozhu was, but also said who Mozhu had met and said on the painting boat that night, and helped several people pour wine.

He made everything clear.

When the prefect Chu heard this, it was not good to help Fu Yu perfunctory, so he could only say that everyone had found it, so he invited the family members of the Qin Mansion to come to the mansion and bring the people home.

As a result, as soon as her father went, he directly and generously gave Mozhu to Fu Yu.

This time, Chu Zhifu was unhappy.

Fu Yu had already sold the ink bamboo to the female shopkeeper on the painting boat, and also received fifty taels of silver from the female shopkeeper. According to Hu Yao, Fu Yu was not willing to spend a penny, and he saved it.

Fu Yu is a person who pursues, and he wants to save more money so that he can buy back her freedom for Miss Yan. At that time, even if he can't marry Miss Yan as his wife, he can still take Miss Yan as a concubine, right?

After marrying Miss Yan home, let Miss Yan sing at home, and still be able to receive other people's silver taels. In this way, he can let Miss Yan make money to support her family, and he handed over the silver taels earned by Miss Yan to his future lady Chu Xinyan for safekeeping.

When his wife and concubines have given birth to children for him, even if he doesn't pay a penny, he can let his family live a worry-free life.

Let his family live well, and he can go on his own career with peace of mind, and he doesn't have to worry about trivial things in life.

Fu Yu only thought about it, and his heart was about to turn upside down.

It's a pity that Hu Yao went to the boat of the painting boat, and when he met the couplet from Miss Yan, he really met Miss Yan. At that time, Hu Yao went to see her in the private room where Miss Yan was, and Fu Yu was not by Miss Yan's side.

Hu Yao took a cup of tea handed to him by Miss Yan's maidservant, but he didn't drink the tea.

Miss Yan looked at Hu Yao with a smile and asked, "This son, when you come to me, you don't listen to music, you don't drink tea, and you don't play against this girl." Childe, I am here to ......?"

Hearing Miss Yan ask about his intentions, Hu Yao was very honest and told Miss Yan about the purpose of his coming to draw the boat.

"I'm here to find someone......"

After hearing this, Miss Yan asked, "Since you have seen her, why don't you go and tell her and take her home?" ”

"If I take her with me, can I get out of here?" Hu Yao looked at Miss Yan with complicated eyes and asked.

Hearing this, Miss Yan stopped talking.

Hu Yao took this opportunity to kindly remind Miss Yan a few words:

"Miss Yan, I won't tell you the truth, the girl I am talking about was deceived by your favorite Fu Gongzi and brought to your painting boat. He can do that to others, who can guarantee that he will not do that to you in the future? ”

Miss Yan has been making a living by performing arts in the south of the Yangtze River for many years. She could hear it, Hu Yao was saying that Fu Gongzi, whom she liked, was so ruthless to Mozhu, and it wouldn't be much better for her.

But in her opinion, Fu Gongzi is not a thin lover.

Miss Yan looked at Hu Yao, a hint of displeasure flashed in her eyes, and said, "You and I meet for the first time, I respect you." But Fu Gongzi is a confidant and friend of this girl, and this girl does not allow anyone to say that he is not. As for what you just said, this girl should not have heard it. ”

But to tell the truth, that Yan girl doesn't like to listen to it anymore. Hu Yao held his breath in his heart, stood up and left the private room.

Walking to the counter on the first floor, the female shopkeeper saw Hu Yao and asked curiously, "Childe, didn't you come here to see Miss Yan?" Don't sit down longer? ”

Hu Yao just smiled and didn't answer.

If you tell the truth, he came here to find Mozhu. As soon as the female shopkeeper knew, would she allow him to disembark?

In order to return to the pharmacy safely, of course, I can only put, "The so-called singer Yan girl in Jiangnan was originally nothing more than that." This sentence was held in my heart.

After returning home, Hu Yao told his master what he knew in the early morning of the next day. His master hurriedly sent someone to the academy to tell Master Qin about this.
