Chapter 284
Mrs. Lu twisted Pei Yue's face and scolded with a smile: "The bigger you are, the less ashamed you are!"

At this time, Chen Miao led Yao'er over, and said with a smile: "Mother, they are actually right, anyway, they are engaged, and they can't escape anyway. It doesn't matter if they get married two years earlier or later."

Seeing that her spirit and complexion have improved a lot recently, Mrs. Lu feels somewhat relieved.

If you want to ask who she owes the most in this family, it is Chen Miao. Now she loves Chen Miao even more than her own daughter, and sometimes Pei Yue's eyes are hot when she sees it.

Yao'er came over and called grandma affectionately, then threw herself into Lu's arms, Lu's heartbroken hugged Yao'er and kissed her twice first.

Yao'er is now two and a half years old, and her eyebrows and eyes look more and more like Pei Jing when she was a child.

Looking at Yao'er Lu, she thought of her eldest son, was angry and missed her, and couldn't help but her eyes turned red.

Chen Miao said softly: "Mother, don't think so much, let's live on our own, after all, I will stay in this home and bring Yao'er up, as you said, I am not only your daughter-in-law, but also your daughter .”

Lu choked her throat and nodded, pulled Chen Miao into her arms and said, "You are my good daughter."

Chen Ling and Pei Yue looked at each other, and they both came over to hug her, and said in unison: "Mother, we are all your good sons and daughters."

Lu Shi was moved and nodded repeatedly. With so many good children under her knees, what else could she be sad about.

In the blink of an eye, the midsummer passed, and it was the golden autumn of September. Originally, in this season, the Pei family always liked to take some spare time to go outing nearby, but this year, no one was in the mood to go out.

Because Pei Jing was not around, Chen Miao only devoted herself to taking care of Yao'er at home. Now she even handed over the pastry shop to the manager of the shop, and she only occasionally did the calculations every other month.

And Pei Songde went to inspect the fields in the morning, and took care of the business of the leather goods store during the day, so he was very busy.

What made him and Mrs. Lu anxious was that Pei Xin, who was going to study in the capital, hadn't written a letter to his family for nearly four months.

During the half a year when Pei Xin went to study at the Taixue in the capital, although he did not send a single word to his family, everyone knew that he was brought by King Xiang himself, and with Chen Ling by his side, naturally he was very happy. Very relieved.

But now he went to the capital with a few friends. In the first two months, he sent a letter every month, saying that he stayed at a friend's house in the capital and went to a restaurant called "Qiu Li". study in the academy.

Pei Songde and Lu's didn't know how this academy was, so they asked Pei Songmao to ask.

After a little thought, Pei Songmao happily told them that Qiuli Academy is also a very famous academy in Beijing, and the dean was once the champion of Jinke during the Qingli period.

It was because Pei Songmao said so that Pei Songde and his wife were relieved.

But Pei Xin wrote only three letters, and then there was no news. At first, Pei Songde and Lu Shi thought he was busy with his studies, so they didn't have the heart to disturb him. After another two or three months, there was still no news from Pei Xin.

Lu's loving mother finally couldn't wait any longer, so she asked Pei Songde to write a letter to a friend in the capital to take her to Qiuli Academy.

Unexpectedly, the man came back a month later and told them that there was no such student as Pei Xin in Qiuli Academy.

As a result, Pei Songde and Lu's were in a hurry.Seeing this, Pei Songmao quickly entrusted a few confidantes to make a special trip to the capital to look for Pei Xin.

However, the Taixue that Pei Xin stayed in in the past was the Qiuli Academy as he called it, and he even searched for it in various flower houses, wine shops and gambling houses in central Beijing.

But there was still no news of Pei Xin.

Now the eldest son is thousands of miles away in Beimo, and the second son has disappeared, which is very anxious for Pei and his wife.

Mrs. Lu misses her two sons all day long, and is sad every night. If it were not for Chen Ling, Pei Yue, Yao'er and Chen Miao, she would have collapsed long ago.

Even so, her body was getting worse day by day, gradually becoming thinner and haggard.

Seeing that Lu's family was sad every day, Chen Ling took the initiative to say: "Mother, why don't you let me go to the capital to find my new brother?"

Lu said worriedly: "Your uncle also sent many people to the capital, but they still couldn't find him. How can you find your second brother at such a young age?"

Chen Ling smiled and said: "Those little guys naturally don't know where to look for them, they are like headless chickens. After all, I have studied in the capital for half a year, and many of my classmates are still in Beijing. I will ask them to think about it. Think of a way, maybe you can find a new brother."

Chen Miao thought for a while and said: "If you can't find Xin'er in Beijing, you can go to Uncle He. It is said that Uncle He has married Master, and they are now living in Beijing. Although Uncle He has no job right now, after all There are so many people, you can go to him and maybe he can help you find a way.”

Chen Ling nodded in agreement, and Chen Miao said, "Be careful all the way to the capital, no matter if you find it or not, you must come back within two months to avoid your family worrying about you."

Pei Yue also said: "Often ask someone to come back with a message, and it must be safe and sound."

Chen Ling said with a smile: "Don't worry, I understand."

Chen Miao looked at the younger brother in front of her. Although he was only sixteen or seventeen years old, he seemed to have grown up overnight and became a man of the family.

In this way, she was also relieved.

But Chen Ling bid farewell to his family and went into the capital alone.

This is the second time for him to walk this road. Fortunately, it is still the Taiping period, and he has arrived in the capital safely along the way.

The capital seems to be the same as when he came two years ago. Chen Ling first went to Qiuli Academy, which is indeed a big academy.

Chen Ling found the dean of the academy. The dean's surname was Yao, and he was in his fifties. Although Chen Ling was young, he didn't underestimate this young man.Instead, as soon as Chen Ling reported his name, Dean Yao's eyes lit up, and he asked him if he was Chen Ling, the one who scored first in the academy during the Taixue Exam?
Chen Ling smiled shyly, but admitted it openly.

It turned out that before Chen Ling and Pei Xin left Taixue, there was an exam. After the exam, they returned to Yunzhou City without waiting for the results to be announced.

It was not until a month later that Xiao Yefeng wrote a letter, telling Chen Ling that his grades were the first in the school, but did not mention Pei Xin's grades.At that time, Pei Xinhao was upset.

When the dean heard that Chen Ling was the child with the highest grades in the Imperial College, he immediately asked him happily where he was studying now, and would he like to come to their Qiuli Academy?
Chen Ling hurriedly apologized and said with a smile that she now lives in Yunzhou and has parents to serve her, so it might not be convenient for her to study in Beijing.Now he came to the capital to look for his elder brother Pei Xin.
