Standing outside the door, Chu Sheng looked at his nephew who was carefully eating with a spoon, his eyes turned red.

Nan Feng stretched out his hand and said, "Master Chu, please."

Chu Sheng settled down and went in, Chu Yi raised his head in astonishment when he heard the voice, and couldn't help being a little excited when his second uncle came in, but also a little embarrassed and guilty, "Second, second uncle."

Chu Sheng nodded to him, stepped forward and touched his hands and feet and asked, "How is the injury?"

"It's almost better," Chu Yi put down the spoon and sat upright, "Now my nephew can get out of bed and walk with his arms on, and his hands have some strength."

Chu Sheng nodded, touched his head and said, "You rest first, and I will pick you up when the second uncle goes to see Mr. Gu."

Chu Yi nodded dejectedly, "Yes."

Gu Jingyun and Li Baolu are both in the academy now, and Nanfeng will invite Chu Sheng to come because Gu Jingyun has ordered him to keep an eye on the Chu family, and if Chu Sheng comes back, he will ask him to pick up Chu Yi.

It's not troublesome for Chu Yi to live in Gu's house, but Gu Jingyun didn't intend to get involved in the struggle of Chu's family. He just saw Baolu sympathize with him, and An An liked listening to Chu Yi's stories, so he didn't send him to Chu's house.

Chu Sheng's mood today is like the tide of the Qiantang River, with ups and downs. Fortunately, he is young and in good health, otherwise he must have a cerebral palsy.

Just learned that his nephew was abducted and disappeared for more than a month, and in grief, Nanfeng told him that his nephew was found, and he was in the Gu residence.

So his mood was soaring, he just got happy Nanfeng told Chu Yi's affairs in detail, besides being abducted and sold to being rescued, and then when his life was dying, he got out of danger and recuperated in Gu's mansion.

Chu Sheng's mood fell to the bottom again. After seeing his nephew who was almost dead in Gu's mansion, Chu Sheng finally breathed a sigh of relief after confirming that his hands and feet would be fine as long as he took good care of them.

Chu Sheng sat in the flower hall of Gu's mansion waiting for Gu Jingyun to return to his mansion. He was also an imperial court official. Gu Jingyun didn't know Chu Sheng, but Chu Sheng knew Gu Jingyun, and he admired him very much in his heart.

So as soon as Gu Jingyun came in, Chu Sheng got up and saluted immediately. Gu Jingyun paused, stopped ten steps away from him, and stopped to return the salute. He didn't ask Chu Sheng to sit down, and said directly: "I know Master Chu has a lot to ask, However, there are some things that Gu cannot interfere with, if you have any doubts, you might as well go back and ask Mr. Chu."

He paused and said with a gentle expression: "Gu knows that the old lady of your family is still alive. I am afraid that Mr. Chu has been missing for more than a month. I am afraid that I am very worried. I will not prevent your relatives from getting together. Master Chu will immediately arrest Mr. Chu." Take it back."

Chu Sheng did have a lot to ask, such as why the Ministry of Justice sent his nephew to the Gu family, and why the Gu family didn't notify the Chu family after Chu Yi woke up, did Chu Yi not say anything, or did the Gu family do it on purpose?

Finally, why did they come to him as soon as he returned to Beijing?

Even though he already had guesses in his heart, he still wanted to hear what Gu Jingyun had to say in person, especially if he wanted to know whether it was Gu's intention or Chu Yi's intention not to return to Chu's house?

But Gu Jingyun didn't give him a chance to speak, and asked him to take Chu Yi away gently and firmly, even giving him the opportunity to ask for remuneration and medical expenses.

Dongfeng led Chu Sheng to the guest room again, and silently endured the smell wafting from behind. He thought he understood why the master brought tea to see off the guests so quickly, and asked Mr. Chu to leave quickly.

Because Mr. Chu must have not bathed for a long time, the smell wafting from his body~~

His master's cleanliness, cleanliness, cleanliness!

Dongfeng let out a deep breath, forget it, it seems that he is the only one who will make up for what his master has said in the future.

"Lord Chu, Young Master Chu was seriously injured when he was sent here, and he could hardly save his life, so he was invited by Imperial Physician Liu for a diagnosis. Now, Imperial Physician Liu has left a three-month prescription. As long as the medicine continues, his severed limbs will be restored. Ruchu. After Mr. Chu returns, please pay attention to his medicine, Mr. Chu.”

Dongfeng opened the door, and Chu Sheng asked, "I came here in a hurry just now. I only heard Nanfeng talk about Brother Yi's injury. I still have to ask about some details."

He paused and asked: "Why did the Ministry of Criminal Justice send brother Yi to your mansion, he should be sent back to our Chu family. Could it be that the Ministry of Criminal Justice made a mistake in its records?"

"Maybe it's because the Chu family didn't report to the officials, and the yamen doesn't have any record of your family's loss of children." Dongfeng laughed and said, "My master was looking for someone, and that person was abducted by human traffickers. Mr. Chu was rescued at that time. At that time, he was already in a coma, and seeing that his life was in danger, the Ministry of Criminal Justice thought that he was the person my master was looking for, so he didn't dare to neglect to send him here."

"Although Mr. Chu is not the person my master is looking for, he is still a life. Now that he has been sent, my master can't send him back to the Ministry of Punishment. Therefore, he can only ask Imperial Physician Liu to try his best to save Mr. Chu's life."

"Young Master Chu has been in a coma for several days, and when he woke up he was in a daze, so the master didn't ask him his name and place of origin. Only after he woke up from danger did the master ask about it, and only then did he know that Young Master Chu is Master Chu's nephew. "

Chu Sheng's heart tightened, knowing that the point was coming.

Dongfeng still had a smile on his face, and said softly: "Young Master Chu comes from an official's family, and his family is in the capital, so he should be the easiest to find. What's more, after the Ministry of Punishment has caught the traffickers and rescued the child, it will post announcements everywhere. If you want to find the child, you can find the portrait of Mr. Chu and take him away if you go to the Ministry of Criminal Justice to take a look, and you don’t have to wait until Mr. Chu is out of danger and regains consciousness..."

Seeing that Chu Sheng's face was serious, Dongfeng continued: "My master thought about it a little bit more. I'm afraid Mr. Chu may have misremembered, or picked up an official from the imperial court, and because Mr. Chu is on a business trip, there are women and children in the family, so It’s not easy for the master to come to ask. That’s why I decided to let Mr. Chu stay in the mansion for the time being to recuperate his wounds, and then come to recognize him when Mr. Chu comes back. If it’s a real uncle and nephew, it’s fine, but it doesn’t matter, my master will just help Mr. Chu find his family.”

Chu Sheng's face was darkened. What Dongfeng said was just official words. It was not good for Gu Jingyun to come to ask him why he was on a business trip, but it was all for the sake of the face of both parties.

Just to ask a question, why bother Gu Jingyun to come to the door in person, send someone to come to ask, if you pay more attention, Li Baolu can also come forward, why wait until he comes back?

To put it bluntly, he felt that he was not at home. If Chu Yi returned to Chu's house, he might not be able to recover from his injuries. At least he would be disabled, and at worst he would lose his life.

His family ugliness was publicized, but he was still known by his idols and superiors. Chu Sheng wished he could find a hole in the ground and never come out for the rest of his life.

His face was red and blue, and his neck was burning red, but he couldn't blame his nephew, let alone Gu Jingyun.

Dongfeng said that the Ministry of Punishment posted a notice in the capital, and there was a portrait of Chu Yi in the yamen. If the Chu family really cared about Chu Yi, they could go around the yamen and ask about his whereabouts. Why wait for him to come back? Did you tell him about Chu Yi's disappearance for more than a month?

Chu Sheng took Chu Yi away almost in a state of embarrassment. He sat in the car in a daze, and Chu Yi sat aside with his head bowed. The whole person is surrounded by a circle of big welcoming pillows, and the Mid-Autumn Festival is hot and sweaty.

Chu Sheng came back to his senses slowly, seeing that he couldn't use his strength in his hands and feet, and couldn't fix his body, so he hurriedly stepped forward to hug him, his eyes were reddish and said: "Brother Yi, it's the second uncle who is sorry for you."

Chu Yi blushed, "Second Uncle, no, it's none of your business, I was disobedient, if I didn't go out at that time, I wouldn't have been arrested..."

Chu Sheng patted him on the back and said, "You know that's not what Second Uncle said."

Chu Yi fell silent, and Chu Sheng patted him and said, "Don't worry, Second Uncle will give you an explanation for this matter."

Chu Sheng's confession was to notarize all the property left by Chu Yi's parents to Chu Yi's name, and hand over nearly half of the Chu family's property to Chu Yi, and then rented a yard around Qingxi Academy to transfer Chu Yi's property to Chu Yi. Yi and his wife moved there.

Chu Sheng didn't send someone from the Chu family to serve him, but temporarily bought three servants from outside, a cook, a porter, and a strong servant to serve Chu Yi.

Chu Yi's former servant, Laifu, had been sold because he lost his master. This young man who was just bought was tall and strong, with strength all over his body. Chu Sheng named him Laizhong.

Regarding the fact that Chu Yi did not live at home, but lived outside, Chu Sheng explained to his family, "Brother Yi has excellent qualifications, and it was a waste of studying in ordinary colleges. Now he is injured again, wasting a semester of homework." , so it’s better not to go to the previous academy. Now study your homework well, and next year when Qingxi Academy recruits students, you will go to Qingxi Academy. If you pass the exam, you can go to Qingxi Academy in the future.”

So in order to allow Chu Yi to study without distraction, Chu Sheng rented this small yard next to Qingxi Academy for him, so that he could not only be influenced by Qingxi Academy, but also feel the pressure and study harder.

And he is still injured now, so his old mother came here to take care of her grandson, and as a filial son, Chu Sheng came here to report every day, and staying overnight every now and then was justified.

When Chu Sheng made the property division, Yu almost died of anger. She didn't care about maintaining the image of the kind-hearted second aunt, and almost cried, made trouble and hanged herself, forcing Chu Sheng to let Chu Yi spit out those properties.

Benefits, besides power, are money. Chu Sheng works in the Ministry of Rites, so he doesn't have much power and money. The Chu family doesn't have much background, and the accumulated wealth is enough for their family to live a well-off life in the capital.

It is impossible to want to be prosperous and rich, and Yu Shi even hesitated to make a set of jewelry.

Chu Sheng has no money, but Chu Yi has it.

Chu Yi's father only passed the examination of the scholar and stopped studying, and his mind was on doing business. Chu Yi's mother was a business girl, and when he married into the Chu family, he brought a lot of dowry.

Originally, the ancestral property of the Chu family should be inherited by Chu Yi's father, and Chu Yi should inherit Chu Yi's father's death, but when Chu Sheng was admitted to Jinshi and became an official, the old man of the Chu family could not help but favor Chu Sheng and let him inherit it. The ancestral property of the Chu family.

Chu Sheng is an official of the Ministry of Rites. He values ​​the etiquette system the most. He thinks that he has taken advantage of the interests that should belong to the eldest house, so he feels uneasy, and tells his father that he will distribute half of the property to his nephew after inheriting the ancestral property as compensation. Well, the part of Chu Yi's parents doing business is not included in the public property, and it is only inherited by Chu Yi.

In this way, Chu Yi became the richest member of the Chu family, much richer than his uncle.
