Chapter 276 Finding Someone
"Why, unhappy?"

Tong Zhi'er held Ping An's hand, looked at his sullen look, and asked.

Ping An shook his head, but did not speak.

"Ping An, you have to remember that in this world, not everything can be the best of both worlds, just as you want. Just like today, you fancy three things on this stall, but because I have There is only enough money to pay for one thing, and you have to make a choice. Once you make a choice, no matter what the result is, you must accept it, because this is the result of your own choice. A responsible man must Face his choice bravely."

Ping An looked up at Tong Zhi'er, with a half-understanding on her small face.

"Okay, where else do you want to go?"

Tong Zhier asked him with a smile.

Pingan thought for a while, "Mom, I'm hungry, do we have any money?"

Tong Zhi'er showed her palm.

Two copper coins lay quietly in the palm...

"What is Ping An going to eat?"

Tong Zhier asked him.

She has also seen Ping An's early wisdom, and since this is the case, she will tell him some things that she plans to teach Ping An slowly in the future.

She wants to train Ping An to be a person who is good at thinking, not to follow others, but to have her own ideas and attention.

"Mom, wait for me."

Pingan opened his mouth and said, seeing Tong Zhi'er nodding, he handed over the things in his hand to the servant behind him, and ran quickly to the front stall with his short legs.

"Young lady..."

The little servant hurried forward, looked at Tong Zhi'er and said.

"Well, go ahead and keep up with Ping An, if he's not in danger, don't bother him."

"Yes, young lady."

The aunt who sold the steamed stuffed bun was eating melon seeds boredly, and when she looked up, she saw a child carved in pink and jade running towards her, wheezing.

"Little son, do you want to eat buns?"

The aunt stood up and asked enthusiastically.

Ping An nodded, "Auntie, how do you sell the buns here?"

"Not expensive, not expensive, two buns for a penny."

Ping An's eyes lit up.

"Are you eating here? Or do you want to take the buns away?" the aunt then asked.

"Auntie, eat here, but I want to call my mother over to eat steamed stuffed buns."

"What a good boy, Auntie has steamed dumplings here, do you like steamed dumplings?"

"I like it, but, auntie, I only have two copper coins." Ping An licked his tongue and said with a blushing face.

The aunt smiled and said, "No, no, I will give you this steamed dumpling myself, so you don't need to spend extra money."

"Thank you, auntie." After thanking the woman, Ping An quickly ran to Tong Zhi'er, and led her to sit down at the table next to the bun shop.

"Have you decided to eat buns?"

Tong Zhi'er poured a cup of tea for herself and Ping An, and asked with a smile.

Ping An nodded, "Let's eat buns."

"it is good."

After eating the steamed stuffed buns, the mother and son went shopping in the business district.

Ping An also found out that her mother would only buy him money for one thing each time.

So, after careful comparison and thinking, Ping An bought the one thing he liked the most.

Ping An might have been a little frustrated at first, but later on, he fell in love with this way of thinking.Walking into the next store, Ping An automatically chose something after thinking about it without Tong Zhier opening his mouth.

Some people who came to the store to buy things saw a little child compare repeatedly and finally made a choice, everyone was very surprised.

The young man followed behind the mother and the son, holding not many things in his hands, so he could watch the movements of the two without any hindrance.

It is true that at first the boy felt that the Young Madam's behavior was very unkind.

People who don't know saw it, and they must have thought it was the stepmother who brought her son to buy things.

But the further back, looking at the young master's serious thinking and choice, the young servant admires Tong Zhi'er very much.

Who would have thought that his young master, who was only two years old, could think and choose like an adult at this moment?
When other people's young masters are fighting crickets, playing in the mud, and playing around, their young masters have seen a lot more than them.

After a whole day, Tong Zhi'er, Ping An, and the servants who followed them all gained a lot.

"Young madam, young master, you are back."

The butler seemed to have been waiting at the door for a long time, and as soon as he saw Tong Zhier's face, he rushed over immediately.

"Housekeeper, why are you in such a hurry?"

"Master Tong and Mrs. Tong are here. They have urgent matters to find Mrs. Young."

Before the housekeeper finished speaking, he saw Tong Zhi'er dragging Pingan and hurriedly walking inside.

"Father, mother..."

Tong Zhier shouted.

In the flower hall, Fang Cuiwei, who was restless, heard the sound and ran out quickly.

Her eyes were so red and swollen that she looked like she had been crying for a long time.

"Mom, what's the matter? What happened?"

"Zhi'er, Zhu'er is gone, Zhu'er is gone!"

Seeing Tong Zhi'er, Fang Cuiwei couldn't hide the tears on her face, and burst into tears.

"Father, what's going on? Why did Pearl disappear?"

Tong Zhi'er hugged Fang Cuiwei and looked at Tong Zhidao on the other side.

"Today, your mother and I went to the Liu Mansion to look for Zhu'er. The servants of the Liu Mansion said that Zhu'er left last night. We searched for Zhu'er for a long time, but we couldn't find it. Where do you think Zhu'er went? Is it Liu? People in the government knew we were coming, so they hid Zhu'er?"

Tong Zhixin said eagerly.

Tong Zhi'er comforted the two, "Father, mother, don't worry, I'll send someone out to look for it right away."

After finishing speaking, Tong Zhi'er looked at the housekeeper, "Go to the Yamen and tell the eldest son about this."

"Yes, young lady."

"You take the other servants in the mansion and go out to find someone immediately. You have to search all the places in the capital." Tong Zhi'er instructed the servants who followed her.

The boy got the order and went out quickly.

"Pearl, take care of your mother, and I'll go out to look for her too."

Tong Zhixin said.

"Okay, dad, I'll take care of mother."

.........

In the evening of that day, a group of people were anxiously looking for someone in the capital, beating and beating, and there was a great battle.Before nightfall, everyone in the capital knew that the Duke's Mansion was looking for someone.

However, the common people couldn't tell who they were looking for.

.........

"Young Madam, Mrs. Hou from Duke Qin's Mansion is here to visit."

The girl went into the courtyard to report.

Tong Zhi'er nodded, glanced at Fang Cuiwei who had fallen asleep, and came out of the room lightly.

"lady."

"Young lady."

The two greeted each other at the same time.

"Young Madam, I heard that you are looking for someone. I don't know who you are looking for. If there is anything that needs our help, Young Madam just ask."

Mrs. Qin got straight to the point.

Tong Zhi'er looked at her gratefully, "Thank you Madam, it's not something that's particularly urgent, we can handle it well."

Mrs. Qin nodded, said a few words with Tong Zhi'er, and left.

Tong Zhi'er had someone wait on Fang Cuiwei's bed, while she waited in the flower hall.

It wasn't until midnight that the servant of the Duke's Mansion came back.

However, Tong Zhu'er was not found.

"It's getting dark, you all go back and rest, and look for them tomorrow."

Tong Zhi'er said to everyone, but her heart was very anxious.

There are many people in the capital with miscellaneous eyes, Zhu'er must not be sold into the fireworks and willow alley!
"Housekeeper, prepare the car, I'm going out for a while."

Tong Zhi'er ordered.

She just walked to the door, but bumped into Ji Li.

"Zhi'er, don't go, I've searched for all the shops in the capital, and there aren't any."

Ji Li grabbed her and said.

Tong Zhi'er bit her lower lip, "There's nowhere, so where will she go?"

Ji Li hugged her, "Don't worry, my men are still looking outside. If there is any news, they will notify me as soon as possible. It's not getting late, you can rest for a while."

Tong Zhi'er shook his head, choked up and said, "I can't sleep. By the way, have you seen my father?"

"Well, I see, I sent my father-in-law to the house to rest."

Although Tong Zhi'er didn't feel sleepy at all, Ji Li forced her to lie on the bed.

Tong Zhi'er closed her eyes, and when she opened them again, it was already dawn.

The seat next to him was empty, and it was a bit cold, Ji Li should have left very early.

Tong Zhi'er got up to tidy up, had breakfast with Fang Cuiwei, and then went out with the housekeeper.

They searched the places they searched yesterday, but they still did not see Tong Zhu'er.

"Young Madam, I can't find anyone. Either the person we are looking for is hiding, or she was tied up. Young Madam, please show me what to do!"

The butler looked at Tong Zhi'er and said.

"Housekeeper, go to the Liu residence."

"Yes, young lady."

.........

"Master, the young lady of the Duke's Mansion is here!"

The boy reported to Liu Chen.

Liu Chen stood up and walked out quickly, before he could walk out of the yard, he saw Tong Zhi'er hurrying over from not far away.

"Liu Chen, where is my sister?"

Before Liu Chen opened his mouth to speak, he heard Tong Zhi'er angrily say in a bad tone.

Liu Chen was stunned for a moment, and then said in a low voice, "Zhu'er, are you missing?"

Tong Zhi'er frowned, but her gaze was fixed on his face, not letting go of the slightest change in expression.

Liu Chen turned his head to look at the boy, "When did the Tong girl leave the mansion?"

"It was last night."

"Where did you go?"

The boy shook his head, "I don't know."

Tong Zhi'er was not interested in listening to the conversation between the two, and looked at the servant, "Which direction is she going?"

"East."

Tong Zhi'er turned around and strode away from the yard.

The news of Tong Zhi'er coming to the mansion was soon known by Madam Qingyan.

"What is she doing in the mansion?"

Madam Qingyan frowned.

"It seems that Tong Zhu'er has disappeared, Mrs. Ji Shao came to look for someone." The servant girl in the room responded.

Mrs. Qingyan stood up in surprise, "Pearl disappeared?"

"Yes, young lady, I left last night."

Mrs. Qingyan was silent for a while, and said: "Go and find the butler."
