Chapter 131 Yanzhou Daughter Temple

On New Year's Eve, the city of Luodu was full of fireworks, Lin Qingran was pregnant and couldn't go out, so Shao Ziyu took Brother Han to Shao's house for a New Year's Eve dinner, and it took more than an hour to come back after eating.

This New Year's Eve dinner was embarrassing, Shao Ziyu clinked glasses with the third brother and the fourth brother without moving any chopsticks, and when he got home, Lin Qingran asked the kitchen to heat up some dishes for him to eat, and the two children also sat together and ate Some.

The whole family ate light food with Lin Qingran, and the dishes at home were also greasy during the Chinese New Year. Lin Qingran drank chicken soup, and Brother Han took his younger brother to watch the fireworks outside.

"The second uncle mentioned today that the sixth brother's marriage has been decided. He said that the sixth daughter of the Jin family has a combination of horoscopes. The marriage letter will be sent in the beginning of spring. The date is set in October." Shao Ziyu put down his chopsticks and said.

"I heard from the second sister about this marriage. The Jin family is considered to be the right family." Neither of the two families has any titles, and they are not long-term householders, so they are suitable no matter how you look at it.

"Is your second sister good?" Shao Ziyu helped her down, and the two of them walked outside. Before they arrived, the sky outside was brightly lit, and Brother Bo was squatting on the ground rolling snowballs. The children are not afraid of the cold at all.

"How many people like the Shao family." Lin Qingran said with a smile, "Just look at it, the second uncle and the second aunt are both good, and it's fun and easy to move out as a married couple. Even living here is depressing." Talking about the Shao family, there are many people who are not optimistic in Luodu City, but when it comes to marriage, you still have to carefully look at their character, and you can't overthrow the whole family.

Just as I was talking, the fireworks in the sky were getting more and more prosperous. Lin Qingran had been less busy recently, but she began to have other symptoms. She became tired after standing for a while, so she asked Shao Ziyu to accompany her son After supper, she went back to the house to sleep.

This year has little to do with Lin Qingran, she is raising babies at home, Shao Ziyu takes the two children to worship their ancestors, and brings them back to the Lin family on the fourth and fifth day of the lunar new year.

On the eighth day of the new year, Shao Ziyu began to return to work in the Ministry of Criminal Justice. After the new year, Lin Qingran became more and more lazy and picky eaters. Before, she threw up whatever she ate, but now she didn't want to eat whatever she saw, and she felt uncomfortable symptoms, all of which were on her.

Lin Qingran simply spread her hands and didn't care about anything. After the 15th Lantern Festival, news came from Luocheng.

People who returned to Luocheng in December saw a missing person notice posted in Luocheng saying that they had seen my uncle in a small town near Yanzhou, but when people rushed over, the person described by others had disappeared. Yes, the Lan family has searched all the streets and alleys of the town. As the Chinese New Year is approaching, everyone who should return home should also come back. It is the time when the crowd is full, but there is not a single down-and-out old man.

The Lan family brought a lot of notices to them. Many people in the town said they had seen it, but when asked where this man went, few could tell. Unfamiliar, silent like a mute.

Only the officer and soldier at the gate of the town told them that this person left the town more than a month ago, that is, in November, and he was still very impressed. He is just like a tramp and beggar, and he will bow to them politely. That gesture is too incompatible with this outfit.

When asked about this appearance, under the cover of a thick beard, it is really difficult to distinguish clearly. The officers and soldiers looked at it, and the eyes and the portrait looked quite similar, but they didn't think it was the same. Over the past thirty years, people will change.

Putting down the letter, Lin Qingran looked at Shao Ziyu's slightly condensed expression, "Why don't you go to Yanzhou City again, I don't think you will go too far, the area around Yanzhou is big. , there will still be clues if you look for it.”

"When you give birth to the baby safely, you also said, don't rush it for a while." Shao Ziyu refused. Last time, he didn't know that she was pregnant, so how can he leave with peace of mind now.

"That's two different things. It's not urgent to investigate the case for a while, but now there is news anyway. How can you not be in a hurry? After a few months, people don't know where they have gone. How do you find them?" Lin Qingran said softly. , "I will have nothing to do at home. You often send letters back, and I can also write to you. I will find and bring my little uncle back first, so I can settle my mind."

Now that there is news, if you don’t hurry to look for it, people won’t wait there. Lin Qingran looked at him, “There is still uncle in Yanzhou, so I can ask many people to help me find it. Since we are in In that area, it is good to be able to find people as soon as possible."

Shao Ziyu was still worried about her, it would be fine if he was expecting success, the child in his stomach was restless and tossed and tossed frequently, Shao Ziyu felt distressed when he watched from the sidelines, and he was even more worried if he went to Yanzhou and couldn't see her every day.

"The doctor said it's all right, you go to find it quickly, and if you find it, just come back before I give birth!" Lin Qingran was very straightforward, and pushed him, "Go quickly."

At the end of January, Shao Ziyu left Luodu City again. Last October, he left for a month, and this time he left again. It's not that the Shao family didn't notice it, but no one knew what he was going to do. is the tolerance.

As soon as Shao Ziyu left, Lin Qingran simply closed the door to thank the guests and take care of herself without seeing anyone.

People from Shao's family came to visit at the beginning of February, but Lin Qingran didn't even let them in, she just turned them away, feeling unwell and unable to meet the guests, the people who were ordered to come put down their things, and went back to report.

Si Qin brought in the medicine boxes containing ginseng, and Lin Qingran glanced at them. Two ginsengs were placed in the box, so it must not be wasted, so she ordered Si Qin, "Take it to the medical center and see if it can be sold What price, sold them directly."

Si Qin went out with the box in her arms. It was almost noon when Mother Li came over with the food box and set up the table. Lin Qingran smelled the smell of radishes and turned her head to see that there were three small pickled radishes in the bowl. , Just smelling it was very appetizing, Lin Qingran sat down and couldn't wait to take a bite, and looked at Li's mother, "Is this sent by the Lin family?"

"Yes, Mrs. Tai knows that you don't have much appetite, so she brought it to you, saying that you like it." Lin Qingran took another bite, the pickled radish juice was thick and crisp, salty and sweet, with a hint of sweetness. It has a sour aroma, and you will have an appetite after one bite.

"I haven't eaten my grandmother's pickled vegetables for many years." Lin Qingran smiled contentedly.

"Mrs. Tai brought you two jars of pickled vegetables, pickled radishes and sour cabbage. If you like, I will let the kitchen make stewed fish with sour cabbage for you in the evening." Seeing that she had an appetite, Mama Li added more food for her. When I vomited whatever I ate before, I didn't dare to give the young lady such a strong taste, but now it's better, but I don't dislike it, and I like to eat these.

This is the most satisfying meal Lin Qingran has eaten since she was pregnant. It seems that her appetite has returned all at once. Others say that this is a sour girl. Looking at this child, Li's mother may still be a kid.

Lin Qingran doesn't care about being a man or a woman anymore, she is already satisfied with having a good appetite to eat now
Over there, Shao Ziyu drove for ten days and finally arrived in Yanzhou. First, he went to the Lu Mansion to visit Lin Qingran's uncle. General Lu also wrote to him before to find out the general situation, and assigned some people to Shao Ziyu to go out to find someone. Naturally.

"Yanzhou City is so big, don't look at the small size of the city, there are many small towns and villages around it, do you know why they camped here." This Lu Zheng and Lu Jiangjun have the same temperament, sit down and drink first, While chatting, Shao Ziyu drank with him for a while, "There are mountains on the outskirts of Yanzhou, which directly lead to the border."

Lu Zheng nodded, "To patrol the mountains, you have to send people to the mountains to go to the border area on a regular basis. Don't think that the world is peaceful, but there are quite a few spies caught." As long as there is no solution, there are disputes, there are Little things like this.

It was already afternoon after drinking for three rounds, Lu Zheng got drunk and went to rest, his aunt He took Shao Ziyu to the yard where he was resting, "You are staying here during this time, don't go to the inn, how can you live at home?" You are at ease, if you want to go out to find someone, you can find someone, and the house is all tidied up."

"Trouble auntie."

"What's the trouble, you just come here to see us. We haven't been back for so many years. We didn't make it in time for Qingran to get married. This child is pregnant with her third child now." He smiled and asked him to rest for a while before going out. .

Shao Ziyu stayed close for a while, and in the evening, people from the Lan family rushed over, and they met.

"Someone said they saw it in Yanzhou City, I don't know if it's true." In the past few days when Shao Ziyu came here, they didn't give up asking. I have seen the person in the portrait in Yanzhou city.

"According to what others said, draw another portrait of what my uncle looks like today, and look for the two together. Since I have seen it in Yanzhou City, I will look for it here now." Shao Ziyu asked Eleven and the others I went to find a painter to come over for a portrait. Those who came from the Lan family were all juniors. Only the eldest son of the deceased elder of the Lan family still had a little impression of the third master of the Lan family. up.

After the portrait was completed, some of them continued to search in the towns around Yanzhou City, and some of them searched in Yanzhou City. Seven or eight days passed, but they didn't get any news.

Uncle Lu Zheng borrowed some officers and soldiers to help, but they couldn't find any clues, and those people who were looking for outside had no clues.

It was as if all of a sudden the world evaporated.

It was already the end of February at this time, Shao Ziyu had been here for more than half a month, and he really searched the surrounding area of ​​Yanzhou City, not to mention the little uncle, but he didn't see anyone like him.

Shao Ziyu even felt that they might have found the wrong place. The people were not here in Yanzhou. The Feng'an Dynasty was so big, so where could they not go? They were hiding in a remote village, so no one could be found no matter what.

Lu Zheng listened to what they said, "There is still a place in Yanzhou City that you haven't gone to."

Shao Ziyu nodded, "You are talking about the Daughter's Temple, right? We have also been there, but during the day, there are no people there. At night, fish and dragons are mixed there. Taking people in like this is just looking for people on the street, not going to Those in the flower building will be driven out by the people patrolling the road."

Lu Zheng smiled, "That place has been like this for decades, unless something serious happens, officers and soldiers are not allowed to go in, and if you go in for an hour or two to find someone like you, you will naturally be kicked out. Their ability to recognize people is not small. Whether they are strangers or have other purposes can be seen at a glance. It is also good to mix fish and dragons. In that place, the news is very well-informed. I can get some useful news."

"You mean, let's get in in another way." If you can't get in and you are kicked out, then you have to go in and spend money to stay there
