Yu Jiao smiled at him, "Didn't the two gentlemen go to visit an old friend? But didn't they find that old friend?"
"He has passed away." Liu Ziqi thought to himself how to tell Yu Jiao that the person he was looking for was her.
Yu Jiao sighed and asked, "Will the two of you stay in Changkui?"
Liu Ziqi nodded, "Maybe I'll stay for a few days."
Yu Jinshu took the initiative to say, "You two gentlemen are going to stay in Changkui. If you don't mind the simple house of my Yu family, why don't you stay here for a while?"
Liu Ziqi had this intention in the first place, and now that someone took the initiative to do so, it couldn't be better. He smiled warmly and said, "Thank you for bothering me."
"Don't bother me, don't bother me. It really brings honor to my humble home that you two gentlemen can stay for a while." Yu Jinshu spoke the flattering words spontaneously.
Yu Ruhai watched Yu Jinshu dealing with the two men, and felt that this trip of letting his brothers follow the second master of the Mu family to Qingzhou to take the imperial examination had broadened their horizons, especially the second brother, who now treated people and spoke in a decent manner.
Yu Zhou personally brought tea over, and Yu Ruhai chatted with them, inevitably asking about Liu Ziqi and Gu Yun's family background.
Liu Ziqi only said that he was from the capital, and did not reveal any other information.
After chatting for a while, the topic turned back to Yu Jiao. Yu Ruhai asked, "The two gentlemen just said that they had something to do with Yu Jiao. What is it? Is it about the thief who robbed them on their way back?"
Liu Zi looked at Yu Jiao with deep eyes. He shook his head and said, "I have some private matters to discuss with Miss Yu."
Yu Jiao noticed that Liu Ziqi looked at her strangely after he entered the room, so she asked, "I wonder what private matter Master Liu wants to talk to me about?"
Yu Jiao thought it must be related to the medical consultation, and she couldn't think of anything else.
Liu Ziqi looked at Yu Ruhai and said gently and politely, "We have something we want to talk to Miss Yu alone. Can you make it convenient for us?"
"That's convenient, that's convenient." Yu Ruhai stood up and said with a smile, "Please go ahead, sir."
Yu Jiao is not his biological granddaughter, so Yu Ruhai would not consider the differences between men and women for her. Even if it was his own granddaughter, if she could marry a young man in the capital, he would not care about these things.
Yu Ruhai and Yu Zhou went to the east room, while Yu Jinshu asked Zhao to clean up the house. He also carefully instructed Zhao to take out the new bedding at home and pick out all the best things in the house to entertain the two people. Although he did not test out the identities of Gu Yun and the other person, based on the fact that the two people were brought there by Prefect Yang himself at the poetry meeting that day, it can be said that the identities of the two people are definitely not ordinary people.
There was no one else in the room. Liu Ziqi looked at Yu Jiao and didn't speak for a long time.
Gu Yun was getting a little anxious. He nudged Liu Ziqi to urge him, but Liu Ziqi didn't know where to start for a moment. He was also afraid that Yu Jiao was really Liu Sanniang's biological daughter, and not Su Jian's sister.
Seeing Liu Ziqi hesitate, Yu Jiao asked with a smile, "Why is it so difficult to speak?"
Finally, Gu Yun couldn't help it anymore, he said, "We came to Changkui to look for someone. Do you know who we are looking for?"
Yu Jiao chuckled, "I know you are here to look for someone. Didn't your old friend pass away?"
Liu Ziqi looked at her round, clear almond eyes, raised his gentle eyebrows and looked at her, and said softly, "Our old friend lives in Mengjia Village. Gu Yun and I went to visit him early this morning. Do you know what our old friend's name is?"
Hearing him mention the words Mengjia Village, Yu Jiao was stunned for a moment. She was amazed at such a coincidence. At the same time, she thought about it and thought about how the two of them said their old friend had passed away and came to look for her. Yu Jiao understood a little bit.
"Could it be Meng Qingyun?" Yu Jiao asked.
Liu Ziqi admired her intelligence in his heart, and felt a little proud. His sister Su Jian had been extremely intelligent since she was a child.
Liu Ziqi nodded and said gently, "That old friend of ours is exactly him."
Yu Jiao's pupils tightened slightly, but her face was exceptionally calm. She thought to herself that Liu Ziqi and Gu Yun looked only a few years older than her, so how could they know Meng Qingyun? Not to mention that they were old friends?
Liu Ziqi took out a jade button from his sleeve, handed it to Yu Jiao, and said, "Do you recognize this?"
Yu Jiao looked at the familiar jade button and subconsciously thought that this jade button was the one she lost in Qingzhou and was found and hidden by Gu Yun. However, when she noticed the worn green necklace on the jade button, she denied the idea.
The jade buckle was smooth and delicate. Although it was the same as the one Yu Jiao had lost, the green necklace and the jade buckle were integrated as one, as if they were often played with. Thinking of what Liu Sanniang said when she gave her the jade buckle, Yu Jiao concealed her expression very well. She asked, "What is this...? Why did you ask me if I recognized it? Should I recognize it?"
Liu Ziqi was stunned for a moment, his heart sank and panic set in.
How could Su Jian not remember this? Even if she didn't remember Gu Yun and didn't recognize him, she shouldn't forget this.
When Liu Ziqi learned that his aunt had given birth to a younger sister, he was very happy. He ordered people to make two identical jade buttons, one for each of his sister Su Jian. Both of them wore them when they were young and never took them off.
Liu Ziqi calmed himself down and thought that with such a big accident happening back then, it was possible that Su Jian had lost the jade button, and it was even possible that she had forgotten everything about the capital.
He tightened his grip on the jade button slightly, and smiled with a pale face, "It doesn't matter if you don't recognize it."
Seeing that he looked unwell, Yu Jiao wondered what the relationship between Liu Ziqi and Meng Qingyun was. She knew that Meng Qingyun had lived in the capital when he was young, but as far as Meng Yujiao could remember, no one from the capital seemed to have visited the Meng family in all these years.
Gu Yun knew Liu Ziqi's mood, so he reached out and patted Liu Ziqi on the shoulder.
Liu Ziqi had calmed down, took back the jade button, and asked in a clear voice, "Do you still remember your childhood?"
Yu Jiao shook her head. "I don't remember clearly. Why are you asking me this, sir?"
Liu Ziqi's heart sank even more. He whispered, "Do you still remember the name Su Jian?"
Yu Jiao couldn't guess what Liu Ziqi wanted to ask, but hearing the name Su Jian, she seemed to be a female.
She shook her head again. "I haven't heard of it."
Liu Ziqi's face showed even more disappointment and his palms were cold.
Gu Yun said anxiously, "How can you not remember the name Su Jian? Think about it again. And me, do you still remember me? I am Gu Yun!"
Yu Jiao said in confusion and amusement, "I know you are Gu Yun, the young Marquis Gu."
Looking at the complicated and sad eyes of the two people opposite her, Yu Jiao felt that her smile at the moment was a little inappropriate. She stopped laughing and looked at the two people quietly.
"She seems to have forgotten everything..." Gu Yun said disappointedly.
Liu Ziqi sorted out his thoughts and said softly, "Do you still remember the capital... Do you remember the princess's mansion?"
