Liu Yunxiang was speechless for a long time. Her father's way of being an official was to pretend to be deaf and dumb, so why not pretend this time? Those censors didn't come forward, so why did he, the Minister of Rites, jump so high?

"You didn't tell the young master about this, right?"

Zijin shook his head, "Young master, you just want to go back to Shengjing to see your parents."

Liu Yunxiang let out a long sigh, "Let's hide it from him first."

When their carriage heard the door of Baiyun Shanyao House, Liu Yunxiang took off the quilt and sat in the wheelchair. Just as he was about to walk in, he saw a girl of fourteen or fifteen years old walking down the path on the mountain carrying a bamboo basket on her back.

She held a bouquet of wild flowers in her hand and skipped down, humming a tune.

This little girl has a delicate face, curved eyebrows, and eyes as clear as a pool of water. Her skin is not as white as jade, but rather tanned by the sun, making her look very energetic.

She only focused on picking wild flowers along the way, and when she got down there, she noticed someone in front of the medicine stove. She looked up and saw Liu Yunxiang, her eyes widened, and after looking at it for a while, she seemed to dare to confirm, and then she ran over happily.

"Third aunt!"

The little girl ran up to her, and Liu Yunxiang recognized her, "Xiao, Xiao Wu!"

Xie Wenxiang, the fifth girl in the Hou Mansion of Jingan, because her aunt passed away when she was very young, after she married into the Hou Mansion, this little girl has always been the closest to her. It can be said that this little girl is her only relative in the Hou Mansion.

Xiaowu wanted to study medicine, so she entrusted her to Qu Moran. Unexpectedly, Old Qu and the little girl got lost for some reason. Over the years, she had asked Zhang Qi to use shops around the country to find Xiaowu.

five.

Xiaowu happily threw himself into Liu Yunxiang's arms. This throw almost knocked Liu Yunxiang and his wheelchair down.

Xiaowu touched his nose in embarrassment, "I forgot that I have grown up."

Liu Yunxiang leaned over and hugged Xiao Wu, "Have you suffered in the past few years?"

The little girl hugged her, probably feeling aggrieved. She wanted to endure it and kept breathing in and out, but she still couldn't hold it back and began to cry.

"Xiaowu, be good, stop crying, and follow Aunt Three from now on."

The little girl cried for a while, wiped away her tears, and then told her story.

"At that time in Yaogu, I wanted to eat sesame seed cakes, and Grandpa Qu took me down the mountain to buy them. But after we bought the sesame seed cakes, we walked back, but we didn't reach home after walking for a long time. It wasn't until dark that we realized we were going the wrong way.

We were on our way. We slept in the mountains and forests for one night and continued walking the next day. But at this time, Grandpa Qu was confused and took me far, far away. Day after day, we could never go back. I

I don’t remember the way back to Medicine Valley, but I know that I went back to Shengjing to find Zhang Qi at Lingyun Grain Store. But we were far away from Shengjing, and we had lost all the money we had on us, so we could only beg along the way, but we took the wrong road several times, and we always failed.

We couldn't return to Shengjing. Later, we had no choice but to stay in a small mountain village and rely on the villagers' financial support. After three years of this, I grew up a bit, and then continued walking to Shengjing. Fortunately, halfway through, I

We found a restaurant with the Lingyun signboard and went in to identify ourselves. The shopkeeper left us behind and hurriedly wrote to Shengjing. Not long after, Zhang Qi sent someone to pick us up. After we came back, we stayed in Yaolu.

"

After Liu Yunxiang heard this, he sighed. It has not been easy for the old and the young these years.

"Xiangxiang! Xiangxiang!"

At this time, a little boy about three or four years old, with two haircuts and a spring coat made of cotton, ran out shouting and jolting.

When Xiao Wu saw him, he ran over and grabbed the little boy.

"Yiyi, I told you not to call me Xiangxiang, but to call me sister."

The little boy nodded, opened his mouth and shouted again: "Xiangxiang, where is my fruit?"

Xiaowu punched the little guy on the forehead, then put down the bamboo basket and pulled out a few purple fruits, "No, although the plums on the mountain are ripe, they are still sour, so eat less."

The little boy hugged the fruit and said happily: "I like to eat plums."

He stuffed a mouthful into his mouth, and then he realized there were so many people in front of his house. He looked at them one by one, and finally his eyes fell on Xing Yi.

"Wow, little sister is so cute." She ran over, picked up a plum and stuffed it into Xingyi's hand, "Sister, my name is Qu Yi, let's play together from now on, okay?"

Xingyi looked at the plums that were stuffed into his hands, frowned, and stuffed them into the little boy again, "I don't like sour food, and you're not allowed to call me sister. I only have one younger brother."

Hearing this, the little boy's eyes drooped, and he pouted and said: "But I like good-looking sisters. All the young ladies in this area for miles around are ugly, but you are the only one who is good-looking. How can it be that you are good-looking?"

Can't we play together?"

Don't overdo it, as if you don't want to pay attention to him.

Liu Yunxiang looked at the little boy funny, "Your name is Qu Yi, and your mother's name is Qu Moran, right?"

When the little boy saw Liu Yunxiang, his eyes lit up again, "This sister is also good-looking."

The corners of Liu Yunxiang's mouth twitched, "Call me Aunt Yun."

"Oh, Aunt Yun." Qu Yi shouted unhappily.

Xiao Wu led the way and led them into the courtyard. It was afternoon, the sun was just right, and a thin old man with white hair was leaning against the pillar in front of the door to bask in the sun.

After not seeing each other for these years, Old Man Qu looks even older.

"Grandpa Qu spends most of the day sleeping and can't be woken up," Xiao Wu whispered.

"Where is your master?" Liu Yunxiang asked after looking around.

They were making a lot of noise outside just now, but Qu Mo Ran was not seen.

"It should be in the alchemy. Many children in Qingshui Village at the foot of the mountain have chickenpox. Master has to make a pot of ointment every day." Xiao Wu put down the bamboo basket and walked to the east wing. "This is Master's alchemy. Third Aunt

, please wait a moment, I will call her."

Xiaowu pushed the door open and went in. After a while, a man in a cotton skirt walked out quickly. When he saw Liu Yunxiang, he ran to him and said, "Yunxiang, you are really back!"

Liu Yunxiang looked at Qu Moran. Although he was dressed simply, he still had that fairy-like appearance.

"Sister Qu, long time no see."

Qu Moran held Liu Yunxiang's hand and said excitedly: "I thought I would never see you again in this life."

"How could it be? We will come back eventually."

"There was a fire in the Seventh Prince's Mansion. Although Yan Mu survived, he was sent to Beijin as a hostage. I heard that when he left, he was already unconscious. Everyone thought that he would not survive Beijin at all, and even if

Even if you go to Beijin, you won't be able to come back alive. I thought you would definitely go look for him. If he is in danger, you are in danger. I have been worried about you in the past few years."

Liu Yunxiang held Qu Moran's hand tightly, "Sister Lao is worried, I'm coming back now."

Liu Yunxiang nodded, and when he saw Liu Yunxiang sitting in a wheelchair, he quickly asked her what was going on.

"Chongming used silver needles to seal the blood vessels in my legs. Can you help me untie them?"

Liu Yunxiang took her hand to check her pulse, then checked her legs, and said: "His technique is very subtle. I don't have a clue at the moment. I have to study it carefully."

"No rush, take your time."

Liu Yunxiang and Qu Moran came to the house, and they talked for a long time until dark.

During dinner, Liu Yunxiang looked around and said, "Where is Yunheng?"

Zi Jin and Jin Yan, one went to look inside the house and the other looked outside. They came back quickly but found neither.
