Chapter 28
28. Old things in Lucheng

After leaving home, Yu Yujing hired a carriage and went to Chuandu.

After waiting for a day, I bought a ticket to cross the river.After crossing the river, I changed carriages and walked north for a few days. After crossing Xuzhou, I entered a neighboring province.

After leaving home for more than half a month, Yu Yujing found the Shandong Chengxi Hall mentioned in the letter.After announcing his identity, the shopkeeper greeted him in person.

Yu Yujing didn't know this chubby middle-aged man, but he greeted Yu Yujing enthusiastically: "Miss, you are the four-year-old little girl who were escorted here by the two servants back then? I haven't seen her for more than ten years, and she is already a smart and delicate girl. The eldest lady probably doesn't recognize the villain anymore. The villain is Lu Youhai, the shopkeeper of Chengxitang Shandong Branch, who has worked in Shandong Chengxitang for half his life. "

Yu Yujing stared at shopkeeper Lu with wide eyes for a long while, but still shook her head in a daze: "Shopkeeper, I really don't have any impression. I heard from grandma that thanks to your old man, my parents' ashes and I can be safe." Returning home, Yujing thanked the shopkeeper for his great kindness." After saying that, she bowed her body and begged for obeisance.

Shopkeeper Lu quickly stopped him: "Miss, you can't do it. Master Yu and the head of Chengxitang in the north are always in the same spirit. It's a trivial matter for us as servants to do our best. It's just that Lu Youhai's medical skills back then Not good, Mr. Yu sent it late, and it is a pity that Mrs. Yu was not able to save Mrs. "

"Shopkeeper, the family letter back then was also written by your own hand. Yujing's marriage, my father only said half of it, did you only hear so much written down? It is absolutely impossible for me to be the engagement token, you Do you know what engagement tokens my parents left me, or how the Situ family is doing in Chengde now, do you know?"

"This...Miss, every word I heard at that time was said with great effort by Master Yu. Some of them were connected by my own guesses. There are only so many. If I recall it now, I'm afraid I won't be able to remember it even more. The engagement token, I boldly guess...it should have been given to the eldest lady or the servants. When Master Yu was talking about the token before he died, his eyes were looking at the eldest lady and the servant who was holding the eldest lady. I want to take something out of my body or look at Mrs. Yu. I just guess, if the token is on Mrs. Mrs.'s body, Mrs. shouldn't be looking at Missy to say something before he dies. And according to common sense, rich people are engaged Most of the keepsakes are precious golden hairpin bracelets and jade necklaces—if these are the case, naturally when accepting the tokens, out of courtesy, they will be worn on the spot by the eldest lady to show the promise of the marriage contract, so the tokens are probably always on the eldest lady.”

"Give it to me...?" Yu Yujing thought about her body, hairpins, jewelry, jade bracelets, and jade pendants...everything a wealthy lady could have, she wore it all over.Many of them are extremely valuable, and many of them have been worn since she was a child. Even grandma can't tell which ones were given to her by her parents.If you want to find one of them as a token, any one may be qualified, so how do you find it... So the clue of the token may be really close in front of you, but it is far away in the sky.

Forget it, if you find the 21-year-old descendant of the Situ family, or someone named Situ Rongxie, don't you know what a token is?
"Shopkeeper, do you know Chengde Situ's family?"

"Chengde Situ's family... I have lived in Shandong for most of my life, and I have never been outside the province. I just heard that there is a Situ warlord in the north, but it seems to be in Beiping, not Chengde. I don't know if it is the Situ that the young lady is looking for. Home. The Situ Rongxie mentioned in the letter, I don’t know which Rongxie it is, but I wrote a glorious Rongxie at that time. The place where Master Yu said he met Situ Jun It’s Beiping, but it’s true that General Situ invited him and his wife to Chengde. To be on the safe side, Missy should go to Chengde to find out, maybe there are old people who know Situ Rongxi back then.”

"Well... It seems that this is the only way to do it. Shopkeeper Lu, thank you for your help back then and for telling me the details today. I will leave for Chengde tomorrow with Qiao Yu."

"Don't bother me, Miss. I'll ask someone to clean up the guest room. From here to Chengde, you can take the train. I'll send someone to buy a ticket right away. If you can't buy a ticket for tomorrow, how about staying for a day or two longer?"

"Then, I have to thank the shopkeeper." Yu Yujing thanked politely, and was led by the servants to the living room of Chengxi hall, waiting for the guest room to be cleaned up.
