Sixth Round: Naughty Truant Xiaolei is in danger
Today, the sky has just dawned, and the afterglow of last night has not yet dissipated, like someone who is about to leave, and he refuses to disappear from the other party's field of vision. The two brothers, Yu Rui and Yu Cheng, had already been taken to the Hou Mansion by the Wang family. Today, she was invited by the eldest lady of the Huaining Marquis Mansion to come to watch the Keju competition, and the major officials in Quanzhou and the inner rooms of the wealthy nobles were almost invited to come and have a lively time. These dignitaries and nobles like to play tricks to pass the time when they have nothing to do all day long. Like what kind of restaurants, tea houses, restaurants, these hook and fence houses, are the places where ordinary people go in and out, and there are brothels and poetry clubs that the doctors like to go to, which can also be said to be quite prosperous.
Yu Rui went straight to the school without a moment's stop. Although I knew that the Hou Mansion had this grand event today, I also had the heart to play and did not have the courage to play. Wang's is different, she came today to see the wives and concubines of major officials in Quanzhou. I want the Yu family to live a stable life in Quanzhou and gain a good reputation.
Arrived at the side hall first, and the people were chatting with the lady of the Huaining Marquis Mansion with laughter. The last time I came here, I didn't take a closer look at this lady, and Wang glanced at it and only saw: Mrs. Huaining Houfu was wearing a large peony smoke yarn, a wisp of gold and a hundred butterfly flower satin ancestors were draped in emerald green yarn, and two hair were inserted with pearl jasper inlaid in the town, like a flower and a moon out of the water hibiscus. "It's good that the old lady has seen the world, and there are countless beauties in the palace in the past, and this Huang family can be regarded as one now." In addition to sighing, Wang Wanjun also faintly revealed a little sadness.
"Lady of the Yu family, come here, Keju is about to start." Huang waved his hand to Wang Wanjun, and then turned back to the ladies in front of him and said, "Let me introduce you ladies and gentlemen, this is the eldest lady of the prefect's family who just came from Bianjing, and the eldest lady Yu is from a family."
"I look at Mrs. Yu's appearance, she is really handsome." The lady who spoke was Cai from the Yongyi Marquis Mansion, she looked at Wang Wanjun who came over, and then said: "It's not a loss that after Emperor Taizu's important ministers, he is still rich and noble."
Wang Wanjun didn't hear what she was saying, and she didn't want to offend others. "Where are the words relying on the emperor's grace, can the wealth be compared with the saints of today? The Wang family has always been grateful for the emperor's kindness, and now they have followed my officials to Quanzhou, even if they can't serve the emperor, they are grateful.
Huang joked: "Okay, okay, let's just take care of Keju today, and let our respective officials worry about other things when we go home."
"It was so pleasant to chat with this lady, I almost forgot that Keju was the right thing, and Wanjun was rude, rude."
"Let's go, ladies and gentlemen." Huang almost burst out laughing, but he still kept his dignified voice and echoed everyone to watch the Keju competition.

Outside the school. Xiao Lei saw Yu Cheng from a distance, and then ran over and whispered to him: "Yu Cheng, are you still thinking to study in the academy if it's so lively outside today?" "What are you going to do if you don't study in the school?" Yu Cheng looked at Xiaolei innocently. Xiao Lei knocked on Yu Cheng's head: "You became a nerd at a young age, of course you can sneak out to play."
"That's not good, Mr. will be angry, and my father and mother will also punish Cheng'er."
"In life, freedom and happiness are the most important things, didn't your father tell you"? Xiao Lei put one hand on her shoulder, and then said earnestly. "Oh, hurry up and stop being verbose, you won't be able to run away when Mr. next comes." Going down Yu Cheng's shoulder, Xiao Lei grabbed him, "I want to run."
Ichigulu has come to the market, according to Xiaolei's words, what is there to see about Keju, the really interesting thing is outside the wall. "Oh, hurry up, wait a minute, Mr. Storyteller is going to tell the wonderful part" Xiaolei was very annoyed by Yu Cheng, who couldn't do it on her feet. "Alas, I can't walk anymore, you slow down".
"Okay, then you're going to buy me a candy man, I'll go slowly." "No, it's not enough to be a candy man, I still have to eat it~ Hmph, I'll tell you when I think about it."
Yu Cheng smiled and said, "Xiaolei, you are really a glutton."
"Ignore you, I'm angry". Lei grimaced to express her anger, maybe anger.
"Give, the sugar man you want, the others owe it first, and I'll give it to you later."
"Hee-hee, I lied to you, I didn't get angry."
"Let's go, Lei-sama."
The teahouse was crowded with many people, most of them small people, and some wealthy businessmen and petty officials sat inside. Just listening to the storyteller, a loud word came from afar, and it attracted bursts of applause. Xiao Lei poked her head out, trying to rely on her weak body to squeeze into those huge figures. tried and tried, squeezed and squeezed, and almost broke the mentality of our Xiaolei classmates. "This girl doesn't believe it, the walls can't stop me, just because you individuals still want to stop me from listening." She suckled hard, and finally crawled under the table. Yu Cheng saw it really well in the back, "This girl in Houfu is really wild enough" After sighing this sentence, Yu Cheng also planned to squeeze in, but he didn't want to hear the storyteller tell the story, he wanted to look at Xiaolei. "There are many people in this teahouse, so it's better to be careful." With a good sound, there were fewer and fewer people in the teahouse, and seeing that the people in front of him were gone, Xiaolei also disappeared from Yu Jian's field of vision.
Yu Cheng panicked, and he shouted Xiao Lei's name. No one answered, so he quickly turned the teahouse upside down, and there were only fruit remains on the ground. Staggered out of the teahouse, he couldn't think of anywhere to go, confused for a moment, Yu Cheng suddenly realized that he ran directly to Huaining Houfu.
"Oh no, no, Xiao Lei is lost, hurry up~ go and tell Huai Ning Hou" Yu Cheng walked through the gate of the Hou Mansion, and he was already weak and sat on the ground. When a few janitors heard that something had happened to their young lady, they immediately rushed into the mansion to report the incident to the Marquis of Huaining.
"What, isn't she supposed to be studying in the academy now?" Huai Ninghou was angry at first, then nervous. "Quick, quick, quick, you go and ask the housekeeper to gather all the servants and envoys in the palace to go out and find them."
"And you~ You go and invite the eldest lady, and call the Xu family." Huai Ninghou waited anxiously back and forth.
As soon as Huang came, he saw Xu sitting on the chair crying silently: "What's the matter, I heard that Lei'er was lost"?
"Yes,, the second son of Yufu took my Lei'er out to listen to what Mr. Storyteller said, life is hard, Master Hou, how can I live without Lei'er" Xu cried and shouted.
Huang said calmly: "The matter has come to this point, the only way to do this is to quickly call someone to close the city gate, inquire from house to house, and don't let her grandmother know about it, after all, she is older." "God bless Lei'er for a safe return."
Yu Cheng rested by the gate for a while, and saw the servants and female envoys running out of the Houfu one after another, and he understood that they were looking for Xiaolei.
"I can't just sit still, I am also responsible for Xiaolei getting lost, I have to go with them to find it." Yu Cheng said to himself.
"Xiao Lei~Xiao Lei~Xiao Lei~" There were voices calling for Xiao Lei in the streets and alleys. This is Yu Cheng's voice. As night fell, the wind whined, and the rich men lit their lights and closed their windows. But it was opened by the people of the government, and they were also looking for Xiaolei.
"It's been three or four hours, why haven't there been any news, a group of lounge rice buckets" Huai Ninghou scolded.
At the same time, Yu Cheng continued to search.
