Ye Shu'er looked at her own honest man who would not take shortcuts, and she was "heartbroken", those official eunuch disciples must have known who the examiner was, and they couldn't figure out the scope of the questions, so it seemed too late to start worrying now.

"Zhi'an, I believe you."

She didn't expect him to be a big official, if he could be admitted to Xiucai, it would be the best, so that she could reduce taxes, even if she didn't pass the exam, it didn't matter, she would work hard in the future and strive to let her family live a good life.

Xue Zhi'an didn't know that his daughter-in-law had such low requirements for him, and he had already made up his mind that he must pass the exam this time.

After five days, the merchant ship finally arrived in Fucheng.

As soon as the ship landed, many people approached the merchant ship, wanting to help the gentlemen on the ship carry their luggage and earn a few pennies.

If there is too much luggage that needs to be unloaded, there is a special porter in charge, and they do this business, and as soon as the ship docks, they all rush to grab business.

There are also people who specifically ask whether they need to unload cargo, and merchant ships generally have a lot of cargo, and they usually need to find people to come and help carry it, which is why so many people gather here.

"Sir, do you need help?"

"Find me, I only need three pennies, and I will help you get it done."

Along the way, there are many bustling pawn vendors, pushing string carts along the road to sell, and many alleys selling tea soup along the road are full of people.

Fucheng is naturally prosperous, and looking at the lives of ordinary people, it can be seen that their consumption level is not low, and they even have leisure time to sit down and drink tea and listen to the play.

After passing Hongqiao, there are still a lot of Goolan courtyards, which are all invited by the masters in the opera garden, and some are even open until the third watch.

"It's worthy of being a mansion, but it's really rich!"

Ye Shuer found a stall at random, inquired about the price, and found that a gadget cost twenty yuan. Eating a bowl of noodles costs eight yuan, which can be regarded as a big consumption in the town.

"Shu'er, where do we go first? Aren't we going to find Du Yuanbao?" Xue Zhi'an saw that she was full of interest and went to the vendors along the way, and she had no intention of stopping.

When they separated, they agreed to meet at the post station, but now they don't know if he is still at the post station, and even if they write a letter to him, he can't receive it, because they are by water.

"I almost forgot to get down to business, let's find the ingots first. He must have arrived at the station, and if he is not at the station, we will go and see if there is any message for us."

Xue Zhi'an agreed, and the two rushed to the post station non-stop.

The post station in Fucheng is easy to find, and many people will stop here when they are tossing and turning, and then replenish supplies.

However, after half a burnt incense, both of them arrived at the post station. If Ye Shu'er hadn't forgotten this at first, it would have arrived a long time ago.

The inn not only has stables, but also beds for resting, but it is just the kind of bunk where a dozen people sleep together.

Xue Zhi'an and several people staying here inquired about Du Yuanbao, and they all said that they had not seen it.

"Just a scholar, with a round face, and two dimples when he laughs." Ye Shu'er wondered, she wasn't waiting for them at the post station, so where was it?

Almost everyone asked about it, and they all said that they had never seen a person named Du Yuanbao, which was a big deal, why did a good person lose it?

"Zhi'an, let's find a place to stay first, and then ask someone to inquire, he may or may not go to live with relatives."

The Du family has acquaintances in Fucheng, and Xue Zhi'an knows it, but Du Yuanbao is not like the kind of person who is untrustworthy, there must be something else to delay, or something urgent.

"Why don't you leave us a message, so we can only ask along the road. The city is so big, where can we find it?" Ye Shu'er frowned.

Yuan Bao has no guards by his side now, what if something happens?

He is pure and harmless, but he is not a lamb to the slaughter.

Ye Shu'er said, "Why don't we go to Yuanbao's relative's house first and ask, but we don't know where his relative lives." This is also a problem, but there is a way, that is, to ask someone about the Du family, and then

Visit.

"Okay, that's the only way to do it first."

After the two hurriedly found a guest house to move into, they then inquired about the family of the person surnamed Du in Fucheng.

"Which Du family are you looking for?" The owner of the guest house is also confused, there are several families surnamed Du, which Du family is this talking about?..

Ye Shu'er was blinded, "Boss, how many Du families are there?"

"There are several Du families. If you don't tell me which one to find, how can I show you the way?" Fucheng is so big, there are dozens of families surnamed Du alone, and they don't know how to inquire before they come, which is like looking for a needle in a haystack.

"It's that there is a relative in his family, who is from Dock City, do you know which one?"

The shopkeeper was confused and didn't understand what the two young men were talking about. "I don't know, I've never heard of it."

"Thanks boss, let's go out and have a look ourselves."

This is simply a first two big, don't do anything, the caravan must have left a long time ago, and it is unrealistic to ask the caravan people now, but I don't know where people are staying.

Ye Shu'er and Xue Zhi'an went around most of the city like a headless fly, and they searched all the guest houses, but they still didn't find any trace of Du Yuanbao.

After dinner, Ye Shuer took a shower and finally relaxed.

"Zhi'an, did you say that Yuanbao didn't come to Fucheng at all, otherwise why can't we find anyone?"

Xue Zhi'an put down the pen in his hand, he wrote down the places where the ingots went back, and the places he hadn't been to planned to go again tomorrow.

"Shu'er, tomorrow you rest at home, I'll go find Yuanbao."

Ye Shu'er also wanted to lie down and rest, but she was anxious. It's so chaotic outside, but don't run into bad people.

"Tomorrow we will split up, if we really can't find anyone, we will write a letter to the Du family, saying that we have not found the ingots in Fucheng." This is the next step, maybe as soon as she wakes up, she will find it tomorrow, she can only comfort herself like this.

Xue Zhi'an blew out the candle, and the two hugged each other and fell asleep.

The next day, Xue Zhi'an went out early in the morning, bought a few meat buns on the side of the road, left two on the table, and wrapped them in a handkerchief for fear of cold.

Then follow where it was written yesterday and start looking for someone.

After Ye Shu'er woke up, she finished her breakfast and started to act. The power of relying on her and Zhi'an to find someone is limited after all, as the saying goes, having money is a ghost's grinding, she spent a few hundred yuan to ask the little beggar on the street to help find someone, and promised them that if they could find someone, they would be rewarded with another hundred yuan.

For these homeless children, a hundred dollars is a huge amount of money, they can eat a lot of delicious food, and they can not go hungry for a few days.
