Chapter 709 Editing of the Seventh Grade
After a group of people walked away.

Li Yujiao murmured: "Something must have happened to your son."

Du Yanzhi also looked worried, then turned around and asked Xue'er: "Do you know any officials in the capital who can talk to you?"

Xue'er frowned: "We usually protect the prince in the open or in the dark, and we can't get along with such things as socializing outside."

"Okay! Then I'll find a way to inquire around, and you all go back to the inn to rest."

"Who are you looking for?" Li Yujiao asked.

Du Yanzhi said: "There are so many neighbors in the neighborhood, there will always be one or two who know something, I just go door to door to inquire."

"But how can ordinary people like us judge the affairs of the government?"

"Since things have happened, there will always be some clues left behind. It may be harder, and people will inevitably look at me, so I will go, and you will wait for my news in the inn. Besides, sisters Feng and Hua Aren't the two of you still secretly inquiring?"

As Du Yanzhi said, he gently pushed Li Yujiao's arm.

Li Yujiao had no choice but to turn around.

After thinking about it, he didn't go back to the inn directly, but took Xue'er to inquire about Zhou Qing's current official position and residence.

In the evening, Du Yanzhi and sister Fenghua went back to the inn one after another, but they found nothing.

On the contrary, Li Yujiao had already inquired about Zhou Qing's current situation.

It turned out that after he passed the imperial examination, he was appointed by the emperor as the seventh-rank editor of the Hanlin Academy, and he was mainly responsible for drafting imperial edicts for the emperor. This is one of them.

Second, he will soon become the second son-in-law of the official servant's family.

Li Yujiao told Du Yanzhi what she had inquired about during the day.

Du Yanzhi tapped his fingers on the table unconsciously and said: "Although Zhou Qing comes from a poor family, as long as he comes from the Imperial Academy, his official career will not be bad in the future, not to mention that he has such a good father-in-law now, maybe he will know more or less about the son. some."

Speaking of this, Du Yanzhi changed the subject again: "But he may not help us. Although he is still young and seems to have a bright future, it is just a matter of a word from the superior. Even the prince's family has not heard of the matter. Even if he does know something, I'm afraid he won't necessarily tell us."

"No," Li Yujiao shook her head, "I believe he is a man of affection. If I ask him, he will help me if he can."

Du Yanzhi frowned upon hearing this: "What happened between you and him?"

"It's nothing, but he still owes me a favor."

"Okay, let's go to his house tomorrow to have a look."

However, on the second day, the third day, and even the fourth day, Li Yujiao and Du Yanzhi waited in front of Zhou Qing's mansion for three full days, but there was no sign of him.

But seeing that the people in his house have been busy putting up lanterns and festoons, it turned out that they were preparing for his big wedding.

Under the big tree by the street, Du Yanzhi raised his hand and covered Li Yujiao with the cap on Li Yujiao's cloak on her head, and asked in a low voice, "Is it cold? Why don't you go back and rest first, and I'll just watch here alone." , just hand over your token to me."

Li Yujiao shook her head: "I think he probably won't come back today. I heard that this house doesn't seem to be his, but it seems that his father-in-law Luo Shilang bought it for him, so we can't even hand in a letter. "

Du Yanzhi said: "Then wait for two more days, and two days later will be the day when he and the second miss of the Luo family get married. I don't believe that he won't come back on the wedding day."
