"Girl." Seeing Ying Qingci, Geng Hanchu's eyes flashed with softness, and he raised his hand to wave.
Huang Xuecao went to the kitchen, saying that she was going to clean the yams and chestnuts at home so that they could be used directly later.
Ying Qingci walked to Geng Hanchu and sat down.
"Give."
Geng Hanchu poured the scented tea and handed it to her. Ying Qingci reached out to take it very skillfully.
Nan Xiangyun now very calmly accepted Geng Hanchu taking care of her in front of Ying Qingci.
"Did someone come to the house just now?"
I don't know which word he heard, but a smile appeared on Geng Hanchu's face.
"Well, he's from Sifang Escort Agency."
"Square escort agency?"
Obviously, Ying Qingci also thought of something, and her expression changed slightly.
"Well, they said they found traces of your uncle and his companions in a village in Pingyang Prefecture. However, I ask you not to have high expectations. After all, they just look alike, so we can't be completely sure."
"The words of the Sifang Escort Bureau are indeed credible. My leads have been broken down there. You can go and take a look."
really.
Hearing Geng Hanchu's words, Nan Xiangyun's face showed a look that was indeed true.
He knew that this person couldn't suddenly come here for no reason.
The co-author found Sister Ying’s family.
"Um."
Ying Qingci nodded.
Even if there was just a little clue, there was still hope. No matter what, he was going to take a look.
Just as he was thinking about it, Huang Xuecao noticed that Ying Qingci had returned home and walked out of the house. As expected, he saw Ying Qingci sitting in the yard.
"Be good, your uncle and the others..."
"Grandma, I understand. Once I arrange the things at hand, I will set off to find my uncle and the others."
"good."
It's time, the wine shop at home has just started to open, Ying Qingci really can't just leave, otherwise, there may be trouble.
In the evening, after all Ying's family came back, Ying Qingci revealed her plan.
"Have you really found any clues about Dad and the others?"
The most excited person is Ying Qingheng. Those are his biological parents. How could he not be excited?
"Fourth cousin, brother Qingheng, don't get excited."
"Grandma said before that they only found clues about the person in the portrait, but they weren't sure who it was, so don't worry yet."
The portrait is still in Xia Wen's hands, so Yan Zhen doesn't know who he found.
"Besides, Brother Qingheng, you are currently studying in Songyang Academy and can't leave. Leave this matter to me. Don't worry, no matter who it is, I will definitely bring them back."
It's not that Ying Qingheng doesn't believe Ying Qingci, but he doesn't want to miss the news about his parents. However, over at Songyang Academy...
"A Heng, don't worry, Guaiguai will bring us the news whether it's true or not.
You can just study at home with peace of mind. In this way, even if it is not the case this time, if you seek fame and have connections in the future, you can still ask someone to find you. "
"okay."

After arranging everything, Ying Qingci went to the Sifang Escort Agency with Geng Hanchu the next day. She had to confirm who's clues she found.
"Miss Ying, you are here."
Yan Zhen was not surprised to see Ying Qingci. He had already guessed it when he went to Ying's house yesterday.
"Boss Yan, I think you've guessed the reason why I'm here today, right?"
"Yeah." Yan Zhen nodded, stood up, lifted the curtain behind the door, and shouted.
"Xia Wen!"
"coming!"
A loud voice came from the other side of the curtain, and then, a figure walked out.
"General escort chief."
Xia Wen wiped his hands, obviously he was washing things just now. After seeing Ying Qingci, he was stunned for a moment, but he recovered quickly.
"Miss Ying, you are here."
"Xia Escort."
Xia Wen didn't keep her waiting for long. He went directly to the inner room and took out the portrait.
"Miss Ying, the person we found is most likely one of your cousins. However, we can't go forward to investigate, so we can't see very clearly."
If they approach directly, the people in the village will most likely reject their arrival if they notice something is wrong.
"Okay, thank you, Escort Xia."
After leaving the Sifang Escort Bureau, Ying Qingci frowned, was there only one person?
Is it possible that the eldest uncle and the second uncle are all separated?
From this point of view, the situation is not optimistic.
It seems that the only way to find out is to go to Yangshu Village.
"Girl, come up."
Geng Hanchu reached out and led Ying Qingci into the carriage behind him.
There is still a long distance between Pingyang Mansion and Nanning Mansion. If you walk on foot, you can't reach it in three days. Even if you take a carriage, it will take more than two days.
Surprisingly, this carriage has everything.
In the innermost part is a soft couch, and there is a small cabinet next to it. The cabinet is covered with small drawers, containing valuables.
Not only that, there was a large space in the carriage. Geng Hanchu also placed a chair there. At this moment, it was Nan Xiangyun who was sitting there.
"Sister Ying, come here quickly and sit down."
After walking all morning, he must have been tired for a long time. Moreover, he was busy with this and that, and he felt tired just looking at it.
Ying Qingci nodded and looked out the window.
Except when she was fleeing, she had never been out.
Nanning Mansion is the farthest place she has traveled.
Although I want to go to Pingyang Mansion now, it is not within the scope of Nanning Mansion.
"Girl, let's eat something."
"Yes, yes, sister Ying, these roasted chestnuts are so delicious!"
Nan Xiangyun now had a small handful of chestnut shells in front of him. These chestnuts were packed by Huang Xuecao for them when they left.
Why haven't I tasted anything so fragrant, sweet, and glutinous before?
"Sister Ying, I heard that you found this chestnut on the mountain?"
"Yes, I was invited by Magistrate Wang and went to the mountains of Houyang Village to find chestnuts. Chestnuts are easy to fill the stomach. If the refugees eat these, they will not be hungry for a long time."
"It's indeed a good thing."
If this had happened before, he would never have thought that there was such a strange thing in the mountains. It was not only delicious, but also filling.
The most important thing is that you can do this with your hands and you can make your own living.
"Oh, what a pity. If this was sold in the capital, it would definitely be very popular."
Especially those aristocratic ladies in the capital, not to mention that even he has a soft spot for this roasted chestnut.
Ying Qingci raised her eyebrows slightly.
It's a good idea. I wonder if chestnuts can be found in the back hills of Qingyang Village.
She has already explored the outer perimeter. If she wants to find chestnuts, she can only go to the inner perimeter.
'Roar~'
Hearing the sound, Ying Qingci looked over and saw that Xiaotuanzi was also brought up.
She stretched out her hand, and the little dumpling jumped into her arms...
