The eldest daughter, she is proud and sassy

Chapter 326
When dawn broke, a figure walked through the morning fog and slowly entered the guard's field of vision.

"Look, someone is coming." Jian Shixi called out.

Everyone opened their eyes wide, while holding the handle of the knife with their right hand, keeping vigilance.

The fog slowly dissipated, and the figure slowly approached. The person standing in the front finally saw his appearance clearly.

"It's the prince, the prince is back!"

Luo Wu excitedly ran to meet Wu Yu.

Others also ran over.

"My lord, you are back." A group of guards surrounded Wu Yu, their faces full of joy.

Wu Yu was also very happy to see them, and nodded at them with a smile.

However, the careful Luo Wu soon noticed something was wrong: "My lord, why did you change your clothes?"

As soon as these words came out, the others looked at Wu Yu's clothes in unison. The gray cotton robe was indeed not the prince's clothes.

Enduring the pain, Wu Yu pretended to be relaxed and said, "The original clothes were dirty, and King Chu ordered someone to find a clean one for me."

The king of Chu also ordered someone to prepare clean clothes for his master?
It seems that King Chu treated his master well.

Jian Shixi asked, "Master, is everything going well?"

"It's pretty smooth." After Wu Yu finished speaking, he ordered: "Bring a pen and paper, I want to write a letter to my father."

Luo Wu immediately went to prepare pen, ink, paper and inkstone.

Everything was ready, Wu Yu stood beside the horse, spread the paper on the saddle, quickly wrote a letter, and handed it to Luo Wu:
"Take the two of you and set off immediately, and personally hand over this letter to my father. Remember, you must rush back with my father's reply letter. I will wait for you at the border."

Luo Wu knew the importance of this letter, and his expression was very solemn: "Yes, this subordinate will definitely fulfill his mission."
-
Jinyang, Prince Yasukuni's Mansion.

"Third Master, I found it."

Ming Da excitedly ran into the main room, seeing Liu Shi sitting beside Cui Yongxuan, the words behind him immediately stuck in his throat.

Liu Shi looked over and couldn't hide her curiosity: "What did you find?"

"Oh, I accidentally lost a purse last time, so I asked him to find it for me." Cui Yongxuan explained before Mingda could speak.

Ming Da quickly echoed: "Yes, yes, I am helping the third master find a purse."

Liu Shi took advantage of the situation and said: "Since you have found it, let's take it out to the third master."

Mingda: "."

Cui Yongxuan reacted quickly, and deliberately asked Mingda: "Could it be that the purse has been trampled?"

"Yes, the purse was trampled, dirty and torn." Ming Da reacted, and followed Cui Yongxuan's words.

Cui Yongxuan showed a disgusted expression: "If it is dirty, it will be burned, so why do you give it to me?"

"Yes." After Ming Da finished speaking, he turned around and left the main room.

Doubts arose in Liu's heart: "You lost your purse, why didn't I know? Which purse did you lose?"

"It's the purse you made for me a long time ago. It's been so long, you probably don't remember it." Cui Yongxuan explained casually.

Before Liu Shi could speak, he stood up: "I still have business to do, so I'm going to the study."

Before he finished speaking, he had already lifted his feet and walked out, his pace was faster than usual.

When he came to the study, Ming Da was already waiting for him: "Third Lord, the person in the portrait has been found."

"Where is it?" Cui Yongxuan closed the door and asked impatiently.

Ming Da: "In a ruined temple outside the southern city, he is a beggar."

"That's right, it's him. Yuan Niang told me that that person left Ye Mansion disguised as a beggar."

Cui Yongxuan was very excited, and asked again: "Have you sent someone to watch him?"

"Wei Jiang is leading someone to watch him, and he will definitely not let him run away."

"Okay, take some more guards and pass on my order to bring them back immediately."

"Yes."

Not long after Ming Da left, Cui Wulang came to the study: "Father, I would like to ask you about this article."

Cui Wulang opened the book in his hand and pointed to one of the articles.

Cui Yongxuan was very pleased when his son took the initiative to ask the teacher, and explained it in detail.

After teaching, Cui Yongxuan looked at Cui Wulang lovingly: "You can study at ease and prepare for next year's scientific examination. Don't worry, you are so hardworking, and you will definitely pass the Jinshi next year."

Hearing this, Cui Wulang did not appear happy, but looked sad: "However, my knowledge is not the best among Cui's children.

"Besides, there are so many well-learned young gentlemen in Beijing, how could I possibly compare to them?"

In terms of knowledge, status, and status... he has nothing to compare with them.

Thinking of this, Cui Wulang looked depressed and lowered his head involuntarily.

Seeing this, Cui Yongxuan couldn't help feeling distressed.

Among the many young gentlemen in Beijing, although his son is not the smartest, he is still considered smart and has good knowledge, but if he wants to stand out from the crowd of outstanding students, his son will never be able to do it without some tricks.

"Don't worry, my father will help you."

Cui Yongxuan patted his son's shoulder lightly, giving him strength.

"Thank you, father." Cui Wulang smiled at his father, but there was a bit of unconfidence in the smile.

Cui Yongxuan saw it but didn't say anything, and asked him to go back and rest.

Not long after, Ming Da and Wei Jiang ran in panicked: "It's not good."

Cui Yongxuan immediately sank his face: "What happened?"

"The beggar was snatched away."

"what?"

Cui Yongxuan stood up in shock and rushed towards them: "Who is it? How dare you snatch the person I want?"

After a pause, he asked again: "Did the beggar's accomplice rescue him?"

"No." Wei Jiang shook his head: "Those people don't look like his accomplices, they are going to arrest him."

Cui Yongxuan looked solemn: "Where did they go? Did you send anyone to chase them?"

The two looked ashamed and lowered their heads: "We lost it."

"You guys." Cui Yongxuan was so angry that his face was livid, but he couldn't curse.

He flicked his sleeves and ran out of the study.

When he got outside, Cui Yongxuan slowed down his pace, maintaining a refined posture as in the past, but his pace was a little faster.

He walked all the way to the study in the front yard, but was stopped by the guards at the gate of the yard.

"I want to see my father, please pass it on." Cui Yongxuan patiently said to the guard.

The guard then went to communicate.

After a while, Bai Qi came out from the inside and said to Cui Yongxuan: "Third Master, the Duke and the Uncle are discussing something, and you don't see anyone else, you should go back first.

"Or if you have anything, you can tell me first, and I will convey it to the Duke for you."

Brother is in there?
What are they discussing?
Could it be to discuss the beggar being robbed?

The more Cui Yongxuan thought about it, the more he felt that his father and elder brother were talking about this matter. He wanted to break in, but because of his father's order, he didn't dare to act rashly.

So, he stood at the door and said to Bai Qi: "Go and tell your father, I'll wait for him here."

Bai Qi glanced at him, said yes and left.

"Master Guo, the third master is still waiting outside the courtyard gate, refusing to leave." Bai Qi returned to the study and reported to Cui Quan.

Cui Quan was in a bad mood, and said impatiently: "If he wants to wait, let him wait."

Then, he looked at his eldest son again: "You continue."
