After searching for one corner after another and turning over every nook and cranny within a radius of four to five miles, Mei Yuanchen never saw the unkempt man in ragged clothes again.
"Why can't I find him? Where is he? Who is he? Why didn't I see his face clearly? Is the 'Baili Brothers' he mentioned really my uncle? Is my uncle still alive? "
Even if there are hundreds of questions in my head, it will not help. The sun was setting in the west, and Mei Yuanchen had already promised Xia Chengxuan that she would accompany her adoptive father and him to have birthday wine at the General's Mansion tonight. If she didn't rush back, she would be delayed. Therefore, although there was too much reluctance in my heart, I had no choice but to go back to the outside of the Boluo Temple, get the horse back from the novice monk, and hurried to Prince Jha's palace.
"Brother, why are you in a hurry? Brother Yuanchen will definitely catch up, so just sit down and wait! I'm not afraid of ruining your new clothes by dangling around!" Xia Chengyi saw that Xia Chengxuan had already worn the new clothes for visiting guests. The clothes were walking back and forth in the corridor, which made her so bored that she couldn't help but spit.
Xia Chengxuan curled his lips and replied: "Yiyi, now we are called 'Brother Yuanchen', 'Brother Yuanchen', why weren't we called like that before? What were we called before? 'Yuanchen', 'Plum Blossom Egg' ? Huh, the words of greetings really get better quickly!" Seeing his sister blushing anxiously after hearing this, he became even more interested, and continued, "The girl's family should pay more attention to her parents' family, because they can't protect that bastard Yuanchen in the future. How will I bully you? If you don’t take advantage of this moment to slander me, let’s see if I will vent your anger for you in the future!”
Xia Chengyi was embarrassed and angry by his brother's words, and at the same time he was inevitably a little worried, so he reached out to pinch Xia Chengxuan. Xia Chengxuan was anxious and had a fire in his heart. He was not willing to pinch her. He dodged away and shouted loudly: "Look at your fierceness and fierceness. Yuanchen has such a gentle temperament. How can I stand you? Ouch, ouch, ouch, Auntie, let go, let go! Hiss~ It hurts so much!" Xia Chengxuan was feeling proud, but for a moment he was distracted when Xia Chengyi grabbed his ears and pulled them up hard. He gasped in pain and begged for mercy, "Good sister, let go quickly, I won't It hurts so much it hurts my eyes!”
Xia Chengyi was already angry, but when he saw that his brother's ears turned white after being pinched by him, he looked so pitiful, and he couldn't help but feel tight in his heart, "Am I so cruel and barbaric? Does Brother Yuanchen really not care?" No. After waking up, he let go of his hand and walked gently to the brocade stool to sit down.
Xia Chengxuan knew that he would never get any benefits in front of his sister. Even though he suffered a lot, he had no choice but to walk away angrily and walk outside the hospital, cursing to himself: "I am such a born bitch, bah. ! Only to cause trouble for yourself! You can never mess with this evil sister again." Xia Chengyi and Haitang could not hear clearly what they said next.
"Yiyi!" Seeing Xia Chengyi hanging his head sadly, Haitang seemed to be quite sad, so she comforted him: "You don't need to care about what the prince said. He is just angry with you and deliberately comes to annoy you."
Xia Chengyi shook his head slightly and whispered: "Not necessarily. I have had this unruly and bad temper since I was a child, and I, I don't want to." As he said that, he bent down at the desk and sobbed softly.
"Young Master has a first-class good temper. He will definitely let you do everything and follow you, and he will never let you suffer any injustice." Haitang stretched out her hand to caress Xia Chengyi's back and said warmly, "Didn't you sometimes treat me badly before?" Isn't he very friendly? Didn't he rely on you that time? Did he ever have trouble with you? Don't worry about it, okay? It won't be good when the young master comes back later and sees your pretty face."
"I'm sorry!" Xia Chengyi lay on the case, sullenly crying, "Begonia, I'm sorry! I, I."
Haitang sighed and smiled bitterly: "Yiyi, you must never say that. How can you be sorry to me? The young master has already told me that he likes you very much. No matter how difficult this matter is, it will never happen." I will never give up on you. Is it possible that I am going to ruin your good deeds and be that annoying villain? We are sisters. If we can be true sisters, wouldn't it be great? Isn't it? Just I’m afraid I’m overestimating you.”
Xia Chengyi hurriedly raised his head from the tea table and said anxiously: "You are so high up! I have never thought like this." When he looked up and saw Haitang's cunning look, he smiled knowingly and said softly: "Haitang, okay Sister, let’s be good sisters for the rest of our lives!” The two of them held hands and looked at each other with a smile.
The feud in the Mei Mansion ended before it started, and everything seemed harmonious.
"Your Majesty, Master Yuanchen has returned home. Alai just saw him coming back from the stable and going straight to Manager Du!" Xia Chengxuan's servant Xia An hurried over to report.
Xia Chengxuan just heard Xia An say that Mei Yuanchen was back, and he felt happy. Then he heard that Mei Yuanchen went to find Du Chong, and he became worried for a moment, "Yuanchen would never go to Mr. Du for no reason. I guess it happened." It's an extremely difficult and urgent matter." Thinking of this, he hurriedly took a golden object from the drawer in the inner room and ran to Du Chong's resident director's room.
"Mr. Du!" Mei Yuanchen rushed straight to the director's room of the palace and ran towards Du Chong's right-hand hall, shouting urgently as he ran.
Du Chong had followed Xia Mu for a long time, and he knew that this young master from Yuanchen had an extraordinary status in the heart of the prince. At this time, he heard Mei Yuanchen calling him very anxiously. Thinking that something important had happened, he hurriedly walked down from the desk and came over to ask: "Master Yuanchen, what's the matter? Why are you so anxious?" Mei Yuanchen ran straight away. I went to the desk, took out pen, ink, paper and inkstone, and started tracing quickly. When Du Chong saw this, he walked quickly to Mei Yuanchen and was surprised to see that he was drawing a portrait.
Mei Yuanchen wrote quickly and quickly, and in a blink of an eye, the white paper and black ink turned into a portrait. After the painting was finished, he wrote a few words next to the portrait: Male, thirty-five to forty-five years old, seven feet two or three tall, with a bowed back, unkempt face, ragged clothes, and one upper incisor tooth on the right side of his mouth is missing. While writing, I read it to Du Chong.
"Master Yuanchen, who is this person?" Du Chong looked at the painting and listened to Mei Yuanchen's description. He still didn't know what he meant, so he asked again, "Do you need me to do anything?"
Mei Yuanchen saw that the ink was not dry and he could not pick up the portrait, so he turned around and called Du Chong: "Manager Du, I have something to ask you for help. Please send more people to the Boluo Temple in the east of the city within a few dozen miles to find the person in the picture. , it must be fast, otherwise you won’t know where it will go!”
Du Chong finally understood, but the search area mentioned by Mei Yuanchen was too wide, and the number of people needed could only be hundreds or thousands. He felt quite embarrassed, and said sternly: "Master Yuanchen, if you want to do this, I'm afraid Hundreds of people in the mansion need to be mobilized. The capital is quite uneasy right now, and so many people are suddenly being mobilized to leave the mansion. I have to ask the prince first about this."
After Mei Yuanchen heard this, he was anxious when Cha Xia Chengxuan rushed over and said at the hall door: "There is no need to go to the father. I have the golden order of the father here. You can use this order to the east city of the city." Soldiers and Horses Division, order 2,000 men to search for them. This is not a war, and we will only mobilize soldiers without wearing weapons and equipment. Just have this order." As he said that, he took out a four-inch long, two-inch wide, one-inch The thick five-clawed golden dragon order is engraved with six characters in seal script on the back: Jaw Prince Xia Muchao.
Du Chong was in a dilemma when suddenly Xia Chengxuan came up with this clever plan. He was overjoyed and said: "This method is very good! I will do it right away! But if this man is still within thirty miles of Boluo Temple, we will definitely find him!" After saying that, he saluted the two of them, put away the portrait from the desk and hurried out to the outside.
"Chengxuan, thank you!" Mei Yuanchen said with a grateful face, tears hidden in his eyes.
Xia Chengxuan just now blamed Mei Yuanchen for delaying his business, but seeing his expression now, he naturally guessed that something important was going on. The previous resentment had long since dissipated, and he reached out and patted his shoulder gently. When his expression softened slightly and he seemed to have calmed down a lot, he smiled and asked, "Yuanchen, who is this person? Is he very important to you?"
Mei Yuanchen felt disappointed, looked out of the hall, and sighed heavily, "I don't know who this person is, and he has nothing to do with me." Xia Chengxuan was wondering, and he continued: "It's just that he may be the only Someone who knows the whereabouts of my uncle!" "General Manager Du has mobilized so many soldiers, we must find him! Man in rags, must you not run away?" Mei Yuanchen prayed in his heart.
Xia Chengxuan was surprised: "Your uncle?"
