Xie Yixiang bowed to Qu Weizhen, and said softly: "Miss Qu, thank you for your help earlier, I wanted to come to thank you in person a few days ago, but I didn't expect to catch the wind and cold, so I couldn't come to the door until today."

Qu Weizhen smiled politely, "Miss Xie is too polite, it's just a little effort."

Xie Yi smiled slightly, Qu Weizhen treated her a lot more politely, the sympathy and intimacy when they first met disappeared. She glanced at Gu Jingyun who was talking to her mother, feeling a little embarrassed.

She couldn't help but sat beside Qu Weizhen, reached out to hug her hand and asked intimately, "What are you guys playing?"

Qu Weizhen moved his hand away as if he was about to grab something, raised the bamboo stick in his hand and said: "We are going to make lanterns, and the Mid-Autumn Festival is coming, and we make all the lanterns in our house by ourselves."

Xie Yi withdrew his hand as if nothing had happened, and said with a smile: "Your hands are really clever, I wouldn't do it."

Qu Jingxi broke away from An An's hand and took the bamboo strips. Hearing this, she raised her head to look at the two of them, and finally scratched her face and lowered her head.

It's better for him not to get involved in matters between girls. My sister seems to be in a bad mood, so it's better for him to stay away.

Qu Weizhen was indeed in a bad mood. She admired Xie Yi at the beginning, because although she was in a panic, she bravely asked them for help, and she saw that her shoes were broken during the escape, and the soles of her feet and toes were broken. Even though they were bleeding out, they still insisted on running forward.

This tenacity is very similar to her, so even though she knew she would get into trouble, she immediately pulled her into the carriage and took her back to the capital.

But the teacher doesn't like her. The teacher is soft-hearted and rarely expresses dislike to others, especially for children of this age. She has always been tolerant.

So when she noticed the teacher's attitude, she couldn't help but examine Xie Yi, and then she knew why the teacher didn't like her.

Many of her friends, who were abducted like her, were still in the magic cave, but after she was rescued, she didn't reveal a word to her, and she never thought of reporting to the police to save her companions when she arrived in the capital.

Qu Weizhen felt a little uncomfortable in her heart, but this discomfort was not enough to make her hate her, maybe she was just timid?

But do the timid and cowardly people have the courage to escape, and the ability to escape from the city, and have the courage to ask her for help?

When Chu Yi was sent, Qu Weizhen finally knew the whole story, and completely lost his affection for Xie Yi.

I have lived in the capital for more than three years, and I have also met those ladies, so I naturally know the importance of chastity and reputation in their eyes and in the eyes of their families.

However, no matter what kind of silk and satin she is wearing, what kind of moral articles she is writing, and what kind of college she is attending, in her bones, she is still the Qu Weizhen in the countryside struggling for survival and happiness.

In her heart, chastity and honor came after life, her own life, and the lives of her companions.

Nothing is more important than being alive.

What's more, it's just a reputation that may be damaged. Is it necessary to block the known lives of more than a dozen people?

So Qu Weizhen didn't like Xie Yi, but she was no longer a child, so naturally she wouldn't show it clearly, she just put away the closeness she had before and treated her more politely. Moreover, in the future, if the two parties can not communicate, then they should not communicate.

For the time being, Qu Weizhen doesn't want to be friends with Xie Yi yet.

Qu Weizhen, who is not yet twelve years old, is very innocent and self-willed. If she doesn't want to be friends, she doesn't bother to maintain the relationship.

After Xie Yi noticed that Qu Weizhen's attitude had changed, she stopped deliberately getting close to her. She thought that the other party must have learned something from Chu Yi and thought her badly. That being the case, why did she rush to please her?

Qu Weizhen was just a country girl, if Mrs. Gu hadn't accepted her as an apprentice, she would be nothing.

As a result, both parties had no intentions, and the scene immediately quieted down. Xie Yi sat aside blankly, while Qu Weizhen lowered her head and concentrated on making lanterns.

An An still insisted on making trouble for Qu Jingxi, she quickly tore at the paper and bamboo, making Qu Jingxi flustered.

Both Xie Yi and Qu Weizhen thought that after this time, they would probably not have any more contact with each other.

No wonder!

The children couldn't get along, but Li Baolu and Princess Chonghua became more and more like each other as they talked. The two were obviously nearly fifteen years apart, and there was a previous life between them, but they hit it off unexpectedly. Whether it is character and temper, or the three views and principles of doing things.

This made Li Baolu couldn't help sighing with Gu Jingyun in the dead of night, "The Princess Chonghua is not only good-natured, but also open-minded. Why does Miss Xie care so much about the reputation of the boudoir?" Li Baolu didn't think there was anything wrong with caring about the reputation of the boudoir, but she It is too much to put the reputation of one person above the lives of more than ten people.

Gu Jingyun was dissatisfied that Baolu had always been in contact with Princess Chonghua these days and ignored him, so he said: "It means that she doesn't teach well. For the sake of the children, you should keep less contact with her."

Li Baolu was dissatisfied, "I am on good terms with her, what does it have to do with the children?"

"Why is it irrelevant? If you get close to her, the children of the two families will inevitably see each other in the future. If you work harder, the children may become lifelong friends in the future. Weizhen and Jingxi are just fine. They have grown up now. Even if you are young, you can tell right from wrong, good from evil, and our daughter is still young, so the people who come and go are very important."

Gu Jingyun was talking nonsense in a serious manner, if Li Baolu hadn't been staring at him, he wouldn't have noticed the cunning flashing in his eyes.

Li Baolu couldn't help pinching his waist and twisting it, "Could it be that you can build a utopian castle for your daughter to keep all evil out?"

Gu Jingyun tilted his head, "Utopia?"

"It is the most beautiful castle in the ideal."

Gu Jingyun held her face and kissed her, and said with a smile: "How can there be such a place in this world? Good depends on evil, and evil is also relative to good. The best is often the worst. I can't bear to let You and An An live in that place."

"But An An really shouldn't get along too closely with Xie Yi," Gu Jingyun covered her mouth and stopped what she was about to say, "An An's character is too domineering, and Xie Yi thought too much, and he got along with this person prematurely." It's only bad for An An, not good, when she grows up..."

Li Baolu was thoughtful, and since then she seldom invited Princess Chonghua as a guest, and she herself seldom went to Xie's mansion as a guest, most of the time she would meet outside, the two of them had dinner, drank tea, and talked.

Because of similar interests, Li Baolu has a friend who can talk.

But their exchanges are close, it is better to say that they are relative, compared to other people. At most, I only get together with Princess Chonghua once or twice a month, and usually stay by Gu Jingyun and An An's side more often.

Gu Jingyun's "Geography of Mountains and Rivers" has already started writing, and he has been very busy recently with the courses in the academy. In order to take care of him, Li Baolu took An'an at home after work, so that she would not disturb Gu Jingyun's work.

And Chu Yi's return home was delayed again and again, until he was able to walk on the ground, and Chu Yi's second uncle finally came back from a business trip.

He was going to other places to pass the decree, so the first step when he returned to the capital was to report to the Ministry of Rites, file the archived documents, and then go home.

When he returned to Chu's house, he would have time to take a sip of hot tea, and his old mother threw herself into his arms while crying, and then a thunderbolt struck, and he realized that his eldest brother's only son, his nephew, was missing!

Chu Sheng could barely stand, grabbed him with a pale face and asked, "When did you disappear, but you sent someone to look for it, why didn't you send me a letter?"

Chu Sheng's wife Yu replied on behalf of her mother-in-law while wiping her tears, "I didn't see you more than a month ago. The academy is about to start. The child asked me for some money to go out and buy some books and ink. I asked Laifu to follow him." He went together, who knows that there are many people on the road, and if you miss it, you will lose it. Laifu didn't take it to heart at first, thinking that my brother is ten years old, and the street is familiar, so I can't lose it. So he called the young master and went forward to look for it. Unexpectedly, he didn't see it after walking half a street. Laifu panicked and hurriedly searched all over the street. Until the evening, he saw that he couldn't find Brother Yi, so he returned home. Report, I will send someone to look for it, where can I find it?"

When Chu Sheng heard that he had been lost for more than a month, he immediately became dizzy and almost passed out on the ground. It's been more than a month, how can I find someone?

He glared at his wife with wide eyes and asked, "Then why didn't you write to me earlier?"

Yu cried even harder, wiping away her tears and said: "How dare I tell the master, let alone the fact that the master has been on his way, I don't know the address, even if I know the status of the concubine, I dare not let you worry about family affairs. Are you out of town? Those who went to Beijing to preach the decree, even if they knew about it, could they still abandon their errands and come back? That is a serious crime of deceiving the emperor, if you want to blame the master, you can blame me, I did not take good care of brother Yi."

Chu Sheng shook his lips and said nothing, Chu's mother hurriedly said: "I don't blame your wife, she is also doing it for your own good. Bullying the king is a serious crime, and his head will be beheaded. The current plan is to go to Brother Yi, the second child." , you are an official, you must know a lot of high-ranking officials, ask them to help, pay attention everywhere, maybe you can find Brother Yi..."

Chu Sheng only felt that his mouth was full of bitterness, it was so simple.

If the child abducted by human traffickers cannot be found after two days, it will be difficult to find it again. Chu Yi has been abducted for more than a month. get?

But if you can't find Chu Sheng, you have to look for it.

He didn't change his clothes, he just walked out of the mansion, and asked as he walked, "Have you reported to the officials, did you hear back from the yamen?"

Clenching the veil in her hand tightly, Yu asked with surprise on her face, "I still want to report to the police? I, I have been asking my servants to look for it, and it has never stopped..."

Chu Sheng stopped, turned around to look at his wife, Yu Shi was stunned by his gaze, squeezed the handkerchief in his hand and forced a smile, "What's the matter, master, but what did I do wrong?"

Chu Sheng turned his head and walked out, "Get back all the servants who went out to find people. I will ask them later. I will report to the official first."

Chu Sheng got in the carriage and just left the mansion, the carriage was stopped by someone, his face was cold, he opened the curtain and was about to ask questions, when the young man outside bowed his head and said, "Is it Master Chu from the Chu residence in Tongzhengfang?"

Chu Sheng found that he didn't know the other party, so he frowned slightly and said, "Exactly, who is your Excellency?"

"In Xiananfeng, Mr. Chu Yi of your mansion is at my house, and please ask Mr. Chu to move to pick Mr. Chu home."

Chu Sheng was stunned, his first thought was that he had been cheated.
