"No, I'm going to go tomorrow, you just stay in the house, don't worry about anything, I'll solve it."

"No, we'll solve it together."

Yu Kezhou looked at Mu Ran's eyes and said word by word: "I want you to be happy every day, I don't want things here to bother you, when the world is peaceful and there is no war, I will ask the emperor to resign and leave the official position, and take you out of here, and then it will be the day when we go home together." ”

"Yu Kezhou, thank you." She was moved.

"Where did you go today? Tell me about it. ”

"Xiaoqing and I went to the pear orchard to watch a play today."

"You still know this?" He raised an eyebrow.

"I don't understand, but Xiaoqing likes opera, and he stared intently the whole time, by the way, you should know a lot of people in Gusu City, can you help Xiaoqing find his cousin?"

"If you open your mouth, I will naturally help."

"Then wait for him to come over and tell you, when Xiaoqing recognizes his relatives here and settles down, you can often play with him in the future."

Yu Kezhou looked at the smile on Mu Ran's face, and also smiled.

It would be nice if he could continue like this, he entered the palace today, and he didn't even enter the door of the dormitory.

The father-in-law outside the door persuaded him to go back, but he did not waver, and just kept standing.

There was no summons from inside.

This made him very distressed.

More than an hour later, Mama Zhao, who had served the emperor for many years, came out of it and said a few words of persuasion, and he left after thinking about it.

"Young master, girl, please go to the front hall for dinner." Steward Wang came to the pavilion at some point.

After bathing, Xiaoqing has been taken to the front hall.

"Sure enough, people rely on clothes and horses to rely on saddles, so I will say that Xiaoqing looks good." Mu Ran saw such a Xiaoqing, his eyes lit up, and he was a little surprised.

"Sister, don't make fun of me, I'm not used to wearing such clothes." He pouted.

"It's okay, it's okay, I'll get used to it when I wear it." Makizome took him to sit at the dinner table.

The maids began to serve the food.

"Xiaoqing, you're welcome, eat as you like."

“... Good. It was the first time he had seen so many dishes, and he was eating at the same table with the general, so he was inevitably a little nervous.

Yu Kezhou saw Mu Ran vigorously putting vegetables into Xiaoqing's bowl, and said unhappily: "He doesn't have no hands, he will clip, you sit on my side!" ”

"Got it, got it." Mu Ran smiled and took the food and sent it to his bowl.

"Hmph." He was dismissive.

"Xiaoqing, the general has promised to help you find your cousin, tell him about it quickly."

"Thank you, General!" After he listened, he put down his chopsticks, raised his hand to Yu Kezhou and saluted, and then said slowly: "My father told me that when my mother was just pregnant with me, my cousin left, and left half a piece of jade when he left, saying that it was a full moon gift for me. ”

"Where's the jade?" Yu Kezhou asked.

"Here." After Xiao Qing finished speaking, he went to look through his pockets, and then he realized that he had changed his clothes: "Oops, I forgot to take it in the clothes I was wearing just now." ”

He hurriedly got up: "Uncle, where are my clothes?" ”

"Just now, the old man asked the maid to take it to wash, don't worry, child, Uncle will take you to find it."

The two left in a hurry.

In a moment, bad news came, and the jade pendant was gone.

Mu Ran and Yu Kezhou rushed to the laundry room, and saw Xiaoqing grabbing a pile of clothes in the laundry bucket and turning left and right, splashing water everywhere, and others almost jumped up and down.

The maid who washed Xiaoqing stood aside and cried: "According to the meaning of the king housekeeper, after the little boy bathed, he went to get the changed clothes and came here to wash, the slave and maid really didn't take the little boy's jade pendant, and the slave and maid were wronged." ”

"Little sister, don't cry, Xiaoqing didn't blame you." Xiaoqing searched for no avail, so she had to sigh, and then came to the maid to comfort her.

"Thank you, Childe." The maid was still flattered, and her crying was quiet.

"Xiaoqing, could it be that I fell on the way back with you?" Speaking of this, Mu Ran felt a little guilty.

"I want to think about it." He began to think back to when he left after eating noodles with Mu Ran, he also touched his pocket, the jade pendant was still there, and then he went to the pear orchard to watch the play, and ran all the way back after the end, he still covered his pocket when he ran, for fear that the jade pendant would fall off, and then he took off his clothes when taking a bath, he believed that the young lady would not take his jade pendant, half a jade pendant was not worth anything at all, even if it fell on the road, there was a sound.

"Ordered the people in the mansion to find that half of the jade pendant, and don't let go of every corner." Yu Kezhou Road.

"Yes, sir."

I was busy like this for a while, and I didn't find the jade pendant.

In the pavilion, Mu Ran watched Xiaoqing squatting by the pool and picking up his sleeves to catch fish and play.

Yu Kezhou drank tea and read books.

Xiaoqing said suddenly: "Sister, did you say that when we drilled the dog hole into the pear orchard, the jade pendant accidentally fell there." ”

When the words fell, Yu Kezhou paused to taste tea in his hand, turned to look at Mu Ran incredulously, and said incredulously: "You drill the dog hole into the pear orchard, just to watch the play?!" ”

As soon as these words came out, it was too late, how could Mu Ran have thought that Xiao Qing would suddenly say this, and his face turned red all of a sudden.

"Ran'er, I feel so heartbroken, I am a dignified general of a country, I can't even afford a woman, and I have made you so reduced to going to drill a dog hole to watch a play! I'm such a failure, you blame me as much as you want, whether it's beating or scolding, I won't fight back, only in this way can I feel better, Dye'er, don't worry, I will make good money in the future, even if I can't afford to buy a ticket, I will let you eat a hot meal. After speaking, he also wiped a handful of tears from the corners of his eyes.

Mu Ran chewed the things in his mouth, and looked at Yu Kezhou's performance expressionlessly, fake, contrived, and failed.

Xiao Qing felt that he must have eaten too much for dinner, what did he hear just now...

Sure enough, within a few seconds, Yu Kezhou's unbridled laughter echoed in the pavilion.

Listen, this is with Yu Kezhou.

Mu Ran silently finished the last bite of pastry, stood up and said, "I'm going to sleep, you guys." ”

When leaving, he glared at Xiao Qing angrily.

Xiaoqing knew that she was weak-hearted, and flattered: "Sister, I wish you good luck and good dreams tonight." ”

Yu Kezhou's voice also sounded: "Good night." ”

She raised her hand and waved, "Good night." ”

After Mu Ran left, Yu Kezhou looked at the child by the pool with cold eyes: "Come here." ”

Xiaoqing's obedient past.

"Tell me word for word how you met today and the process of returning home together, and don't lie."

Although Xiao Qing was puzzled, she didn't dare to disobey, and told him obediently.

"Tomorrow, I will help you write a notice to find your relatives and post it on the notice board, and I will arrange for people to ask for you one by one."

Hearing this, Xiaoqing was overjoyed: "Thank you, General!"

Yu Kezhou said again: "You also saw it today, Mu Ran is the woman I have to protect all my life, if you dare to do anything to hurt her in the future..."

Speaking of the back, his eyes had become cold.

Seeing this, Xiao Qing hurriedly lowered his head and saluted and said, "The villain doesn't dare, please rest assured general."

"Well, step aside."

"Yes." He bowed and withdrew.

How did the general suddenly become so terrible? It scared the hell out of him.

Fortunately, he didn't tell the general about stealing his sister's purse, otherwise just now, his life must have been in danger, woo, it's too scary!

It's too dangerous in the city, but it's better to be in the countryside.
