The guards didn't know what the content of the letter the housekeeper sent to them was, but they could imagine that they were looking for Childe in such a hurry, and they had to return to Chancheng if they found Childe.

But he stayed in Annai County, and he had to send a letter back to report his safety.

The group of officials on the side of the bureaucracy, when they solved the case, had already written a letter and sent it back to the people at the post station.

……

In the mansion of Master Deng in Chancheng, Master Deng has just returned to the mansion from the Yamen, and he lives in the inner courtyard of the Yamen, which is also the reason why some officials are convenient for office work and take care of their families and do not choose to live outside.

"The master is back, the master won't go out to eat today, right?"

Mrs. Deng actually doesn't like the master to eat outside, which will affect the future of the master, and she is personally worried that there will be women who like the master.

"Madame, put the meal on the table! Husband, I'm hungry. ”

Master Deng smiled, in front of his wife, he had no official authority.

"Come on, serve the food"

"Yes"

The maid who stood guard at the door heard the order to carry them out.

Master Deng went back to the room first, changed his official hat and official uniform, and when it was time to get off work, he had to take off his work clothes.

He changed into cotton satin clothes, dark blue fabric, and looked like a rich man.

As soon as he came out of the room, a servant came in from outside and brought him a letter.

"Master, there is a letter from the post station, saying that it was sent from Annai County."

"Oh," Mr. Deng guessed that it was a letter written to him by his subordinates.

Mrs. Deng saw that the master had received the letter, and stared over there, guessing that it would not be someone who had an appointment with the master again, right?

Master Deng asked the official to retire, opened the letter and read it, and his face showed joy after reading the letter.

"Hahaha"

"Master, eat first, what makes you so happy?"

Mrs. Deng glanced at her husband reproachfully.

"Madam, your lord and I have made meritorious contributions."

"Oh, what's the matter?"

"Haha, keep it secret from Madame first, Madame will send someone to inform Monsoon and let him come to me."

"Okay!" Mrs. Deng saw her husband's mysterious appearance, and did not send his subordinates to inform him, which was the reason why it was necessary to keep it secret.

"Come on" Mrs. Deng was at the door, asking a mother-in-law to find a boy and inform Monsoon.

The mother-in-law received an order and sent her son, who helped her master drive the carriage, and let the son go out to Ji the head of the Ji family.

Mrs. Deng returned to the room and talked about Ji Yunxiao when she had dinner with the master, saying that he had such a rumor, his daughter had fallen in love with him before, and a matchmaker had come to ask for a kiss, but Ji Yunxiao had so many people refused, and her daughter also refused.

"Madam, those are all rumors, rumors are not credible, but the matter of children really depends on fate, since his son-in-law doesn't have this heart, then forget it, right?"

"But our daughter is also older."

"Madame, don't worry, if we can go back to Beijing this year, it's better to find a good family for our daughter in Kyoto than here."

"Listen to your husband."

Mrs. Deng has been following her husband out for several years and wants to return to Beijing with her family.

……

The head of the family, Monsoon, has been staying in the study since that morning when he sent someone to look for his son, and during this time, he also visited his wife, who was sick in bed.

Seeing her getting thinner and thinner, she was worried that her son would fall ill in bed.

The concubines around him, he didn't have time to go to see them, but in the lady's room, he saw the third aunt serving the patient in the lady's room, which comforted the woman and reasoned.

Back then, he married a rural woman as a third aunt, and he made a joke for a while, but he felt that rural women were not bad, and which one could be better to experience in times of tribulation? Which is not good?

How could he not understand the second aunt's thoughts, this time he checked the rumors, and it seemed to be related to his concubine.

This is a fact that he does not want to believe, brothers cannibalize, this is a wolf in the house.

The old lady and the old lady have been asking people for a day or two, have you found the eldest grandson?

Monsoon was also anxious, and sent people out for two days and two nights without sending back a message.

"Master, someone at the gate asks to see you." The guards standing outside the door came in to spread the word.

Monsoon is in the study room in the outer courtyard, the closest place to the gate, which is a courtyard at the nearest gate of the Ji Mansion.

As the head of the family, he often travels at night, or when he comes back, he doesn't want to alarm his family, so he will live in the outer courtyard.

"Let people in."

"Yes"

Monsoon cleaned up his desk, and when it was time for dinner, he forgot to eat.

There was another knock on the door, and the guard brought in a strange boy.

Come in and bow to the monsoon!

"Master Ji, our master Deng is invited."

"Master Deng? Which Master Deng? ”

"Our master Deng, the head of the Ji family met in the yamen two days ago."

"Is there any news from my son?"

"The little one doesn't know, the head of the Ji family asked our master personally!"

"Good"

The man withdrew.

The head of the family, the monsoon, asked him to prepare a horse and ride to the yamen, anxious about his son's affairs, regardless of whether he was hungry.

When he came to the gate of the yamen, he was told that the master was meeting him in the inner courtyard.

When the monsoon came to the guest hall in the inner courtyard of the yamen, the maid served him tea and invited him to sit down.

Someone went in to report to the master.

Mr. Deng and his wife happened to have a full meal, took toothpicks and drank tea.

Hearing that the monsoon was coming, Master Deng walked out of the inner hall and came to the living room where the guests were received.

"Hehehe, the head of the Ji family is here, congratulations."

Monsoon was anxious about his son, and when he heard Master Deng's congratulations, he guessed: "What Master Deng said about his congratulations, is my son having news?" ”

"Hahaha, didn't the head of the Monsoon family receive a private message?"

"This is really not, please tell Master Deng, how is my son now?"

"The head of the Ji family is not in a hurry, your son is blessed with a great life, and the letters from his subordinates say that your son has nothing to do, not even a little injured, and the reason why they haven't come back is that your son said that he wanted to investigate the thieves who chased him."

"I'm confused! Now that it's safe, you should come back with everyone first. ”

Monsoon is also worried that his son will be injured again when he tracks down the thief.

"Well, your son may have other reasons!"

"Master Deng, can you ask your subordinates to send my son back first."

"Speaking of which, our subordinates are also quite powerful, together with everyone, as well as the people of the Xie family, they caught and killed a group of thieves, this is to eliminate harm for the people!"

"So sir, when did this happen? Is my son involved? ”

"No, it's not like that, the letter is written like that, Steward Ji and my subordinates set off in the morning, and when they were about to arrive in Annai County in the evening, they met a bandit in front of them who was harming people, they stepped forward to help, caught the bandit and killed it, and saved the people of the Xie family."

"People from the Xie family? Did you save my son, the Xie family of that family? ”

"What is written in the book is oh, it seems that the Ji family and the Xie family are destined, haha, maybe you may have male and female in-laws."

Master Deng said jokingly.

One of his daughters also likes this son, and he also agreed, but at this moment, he wants to return to Beijing, of course, he will not do this in front of Ji Feng, although the rich man is not as good as the capital.
