After the banquet was over, all the guests dispersed, and the Cai family sent out all the daughters-in-law and granddaughters, and then leaned on the Luohan bed to listen to the news reported by the grandmother.

"The Mao couple went to Qingzhou Mansion last winter, and it is said that they recognized an eight- or nine-year-old girl as their goddaughter, and Na Wei's has never been sick since he came back from Qingzhou Mansion." Naturally, these news of Mama came from the mouth of the maid who followed the Wei family to Zhennanhou Mansion today.

"Just recognize a goddaughter, and then you don't get sick again? That child can't be Wei's daughter? Cai thought it was a little incredible.

Mama shook her head: "Not really! Listening to the meaning of the maid, the girl from the Mao family has a butterfly-shaped birthmark on her back, but the child in Qingzhou does not. ”

Cai Shi sorted out his thoughts and frowned: "Since you can let Wei check his back, the child must also be separated from his relatives." An eight- or nine-year-old girl who looks like me, Hongmei, do you think that child will be, will it be my sister Wan? ”

Mama didn't think about this possibility, but according to the scene described by the grandma and the guards who were rescued later, a five-year-old child was thrown into a mountain stream from such a high place, and even if he was not drowned, he had to freeze to death, after all, it was in the cold north, is the third girl really alive?

However, Mama knew that such words should not come out of her mouth, and besides, the body of the third girl had not been found so far, and no one dared to be sure whether the third girl was dead or not.

It is precisely because the third girl "does not see anyone alive or dead", whether it is the Hou Ye, Mrs. or the second master, they have not given up the search, although the hope is getting slimmer and slimmer.

Although Wei's words are a bit specious, since they have reached Cai's ears, they naturally have to inform Hou Ye and Lin Wenbo, and they have to send someone to Qingzhou Mansion to investigate.

Zhennan Hou Lin Xiuwu and second son Lin Wenbo got the news, and the father and son rushed to Mao Yanqiu's house overnight without saying a word despite fatigue, and asked Mao Yanqiu about this matter in detail.

Mao Yanqiu didn't hide it, after all, he had a similar experience to Lin Bowen, if the child in Qingzhou Mansion was really Lin Bowen's daughter, it would be considered a merit, maybe one day he would be able to get Sister Xia's traces from someone else's unintentional words.

"You said that kid's name is Lin Wan?!" When Mao Yanqiu said the name Lin Wan, Lin Wenbo involuntarily shouted.

Lin Wenbo was really about to cry with joy.

Lin Wan's disappearance was a heavy blow to both him and Luo's, and it also caused a rift between their husband and wife.

It's a pity that Mao Yanqiu's next words were like a basin of water splashed on his head in winter, which made him cold to the bones: "That child's name is indeed Lin Wan, and it is said that it is not the child's original name."

It's just that the child's original name was and how old he was, because the child woke up from a coma and lost all his memory.

The name Lin Wan was chosen for her by Master Huineng of Chongfu Temple, just because Master Huineng found her in the grove by the Gaochuan River, so she gave her the surname Lin.

Later, although he was adopted by the Ye family, because he was grateful for Master Huineng's life-saving grace, he did not change his surname to Ye, and continued to use the surname Lin. ”

Lin Wenbo naturally didn't give up, and asked a lot of questions, but after Mao Yanqiu found out that Lin Wan was not Mao Yanxia, even if he responded to Wei's recognition of Lin Wan as his goddaughter, he didn't bother to learn more, and there was not much information he could provide.

Lin Wenbo was a little discouraged that he couldn't ask more things, but Lin Xiuwu felt that it was necessary to send someone to investigate.

There are three reasons for this.

Qingzhou Mansion is adjacent to Jizhou Mansion, when the five-year-old Lin Wan was sent to Jizhou to reunite with her father and brother, the place where the accident happened was actually in the mountains not far from Qingzhou Mansion, and the mountain stream that was thrown into was later found to be connected with the Gaochuan River.

Although there may be some differences in her actual age because of the child's amnesia, the difference will not be too big, and if their sister Wan is still there, it will be nine years old.

The day that the child, also named Lin Wan, was discovered by Master Huineng was only two days away from the day Sister Wan disappeared.

With these three points, Lin Xiuwu felt that it was worth sending someone to Qingzhou Mansion for a trip, but he was a little hesitant about who to send for a while.

The easiest thing is to directly send a few useful subordinates to Qingzhou Mansion to investigate the situation first, but this is the most reliable and closest news in the past three years, and Lin Xiuwu prefers to go on this trip himself.

It's just that now the Zhennan Hou Mansion is in charge of the garrison of the capital, and Lin Xiuwu, as the Hou of Zhennan, is not able to leave Beijing if he wants to.

After a night of deliberation, Lin Xiuwu finally made up his mind.

The next day, Lin Xiuwu gathered all his sons and daughters-in-law in the main hall to announce his decision to everyone.

Lin Xiuwu's decision was too sudden, and he stunned his children and grandchildren.

Lin Wenjie, the eldest son who was about to inherit the title, did not show joy because of this, but frowned and looked at Lin Xiuwu and asked puzzledly: "Dad is so tough, let alone he can work for another ten or eight years, why let me be knighted now?" ”

Although Lin Wenbo didn't speak, his face was obviously disapproving.

The third son, Lin Wenqing, has always had no sense of existence, but at this time, he just glanced at Lin Xiuwu in surprise, and then lowered his head again and didn't know what he was thinking, but that glance was also with approval.

Even if everyone still lives in the Hou Mansion in the future, the father will be the Hou Ye and the eldest brother will be the Hou Ye, which will have a lot of influence on Lin Wenqing than Lin Wenbo.

After all, Lin Wenbo has the identity of a champion, and he is the companion of the current emperor, and now he is a celebrity in front of the emperor, and it is really not a big deal for Lin Wenbo to be titled.

Lin Wenqing is different, he is a concubine, and his brain has not been very good since he was a child, let alone reading material, and now he is just relying on Yu Yin to be a petty official from the sixth grade in the Ministry of Rites, because his father is a Hou Ye, he is stupid but never causes trouble, and he is not bad in the Ministry of Rites.

But once Lin Xiuwu gave the knight to Lin Wenjie, Lin Wenqing's easy days would come to an end.

Lin Xiuwu doesn't pity this son, but he will always grow old one day, it is better to take advantage of his life and still be able to stare at Lin Wenjie to help Lin Wenqing when Lin Wenqing is in trouble, so that Lin Wenqing can really stand on his own, maybe this is still a good thing!

Thinking like this, Lin Xiuwu's determination to make the jue even more decided: "This thing will be done as I say, tomorrow happens to be the court meeting, I will hand over the fold at the court meeting, boss, you are ready to inherit the lord." ”

As soon as his eyes turned to Lin Hongfei's thoughtful gaze, Lin Xiuwu suddenly paid new attention, and asked Lin Hongfei casually: "When will Brother Fei'er report to the Hanlin Academy?" ”

Lin Hongfei said respectfully: "When the emperor gave him a month and a half to return to his hometown to worship his ancestors, his grandson wanted to report to the Hanlin Academy earlier, but he was ......."

Lin Xiuwu interrupted Lin Hongfei with a wave of his hand: "That's right, you pack up and go out of the capital with me in two days." ”

Except for a limited number of people who knew where Lin Xiuwu was going out of Beijing and what was going on, most people felt inexplicable, including Lin Hongfei, who was named, but since Lin Xiuwu called his name, he followed, so he nodded yes and prepared not to mention it.
