Xu Xi listened to what he said and suddenly hung his head. Although he didn't have to separate from Lu Yun, he felt a void in his heart when he thought of Xu Miaomiao leaving. He stared at Xu Miaomiao worriedly, his eyes full of tears and a little heat. Xu Miaomiao felt his gaze, smiled slightly, comforted Xu Xi, took his hand, and said, "Don't worry, I will be fine and will come back safely. You should stay in the capital these days. Liu Niang is here anyway, so it's good for the two of you to take care of each other."
"No, I don't agree with you going either." Gu Yuanniang's voice suddenly sounded. Xu Miaomiao looked to the side and saw Gu Yuanniang walking over slowly, followed by Qu Xuguo. Xu Miaomiao and his friends only had a roadside stall, so there weren't many people. When he saw Gu Yuanniang, he was a little surprised: "Sixth Mother, why did you come out? I said I would bring you some food when I go back. Now that you are here, why don't you eat something together?"
Gu Yuanniang listened to him changing the subject, sat up straight and looked at Xu Miaomiao seriously and said, "Do you know what Baiyun County is like? Previously, a servant of the Gu family went to Baiyun County and came back with a broken leg. Now he can't even walk easily. His body is full of scars and the iron marks from the whip are extremely dangerous. If you go there like this, who knows if you will come back. He is a grown man and he is like this, not to mention you are a little girl. You'd better not go and stay at home honestly. At worst, we can stop growing mangoes and grow grapes and pears. There's nothing wrong with that."
"But Liu Niang, have you ever thought about whether there is such a large piece of land to only plant these two plants? Wouldn't it be a waste of such a good resource? Since we know your possibility, we must always give it a try. If we are unwilling to even try and give up so easily, then it is not my style."
"Sixth Lady, you know me best and you know that I would never do that."
Listening to Xu Miaomiao's words, Gu Yuanniang was silent for a moment, lowered her head, looked at him and said, "Okay, since you want to go, you must take me with you."
"Sixth Mother." Xu Miaomiao put down the chopsticks in her hand with a coquettish tone, pulled Gu Yuanniang's sleeve and looked at him: "I'm not a child anymore, Sixth Mother, you also said that you would go to Nanxiang with me, and you said that you would protect me, but I came back safely, don't you know my ability? Besides, Xu Xi is alone, and you see him here. I think you will feel better when I find you."
"It's okay. I'll send Xu Xi back to Bai County first. When I come back, you can leave with me. I will never let you go to such a dangerous place alone."
"Sixth Lady, you've already said that Baiyun County treats women very strictly. It's even more so that if I cover a woman tightly, there won't be any problems. But if I walk outside with two women, I'm afraid it will attract more attention."
"Just stay here and watch them. Besides, you see, Lu Xianggong will also stay in the capital. He has done us a favor. Now he is about to go to the palace examination. You must watch him here."
"But..." Gu Yuanniang wanted to continue talking, but Xu Miaomiao really couldn't listen any more, so she immediately picked up Gu Yuanniang's chopsticks, added a piece of beef to the plate, and said, "The beef here is really delicious, you should try it, and I will definitely let Xiaobao try it when the time comes."
Xu Miaomiao Xu Miaomiao spoke immediately, and suddenly her pupils contracted. She immediately looked at Gu Yuanniang, and they both said in unison: "Where's Xiaobao?"
Xu Miaomiao was a little shocked and looked at Gu Yuanniang: "I thought he was staying with you in the inn, why didn't he stay with you?"
Gu Yuanniang was also a little surprised, and looked at Xu Miaomiao: "I thought you brought him out when you came out, so I didn't pay much attention. Just now I felt that I forgot something, and now I think I didn't see Xiaobao at all."
Xu Miaomiao was a little panicked and stood up immediately. She was really an irresponsible mother who actually lost her own child. She ran outside in a hurry.
Xu Miaomiao kept shuttling through the streets, calling Xiaobao's name, but Lu Yun, who was standing by, was relatively calm. He looked at Xu Miaomiao and said, "Madam Xu, don't worry. The most important thing now is not to rely on your own strength. The capital is so big that even if we search for a whole day, we won't be able to find all the people. It's better to report to the police."
"Report to the authorities? No, no, we can't report to the authorities at all." Gu Yuan's mother said immediately, "The capital is so big, and there are so many people seeking official services. How could he have the time to keep us here? Xiaobao was lost today. I'm afraid they are just children. They went out to play and will be back soon."
Hearing what Gu Yuanniang said, Lu Yun paused suddenly and did not continue to speak. However, Xu Miaomiao's eyes suddenly lit up and she stumbled forward. Several people were worried, so he could only follow behind her. They came to Nangong Mansion and walked straight in. The servant at the door did stop him immediately. In front of Xiao Si's ferocious look, Lu Yun immediately stepped forward and said to Xu Miaomiao. Lu Yun did not know the relationship between Xu Miaomiao and Nangong Jin. He just looked at Xu Miaomiao and said, "Madam Xu, this is the residence of Nangong, the great minister. If you trespass, I'm afraid we will all die here today."
Xu Miaomiao was a little anxious and couldn't speak for a moment. She said respectfully to Xiao Si at the door, "Sir, I want to see Nangong, please let me know."
Xiao Si at the door looked Xu Miaomiao up and down with disdain, and said, "There are so many people who want to see our eldest master every day. Who are you? How long can you wait in line? I advise you not to waste your time. I have seen many women like you. You want to climb the big tree of our Nangong Mansion and have a fleeting relationship with our eldest master. I tell you that it is impossible. My eldest master is chaste. Not to mention you, even if a beautiful woman from outside comes, he will not be shaken. This lady should take care of herself. If you try to force your way in again, I will kill you on the spot according to the rules of Nangong Mansion."
Xu Miaomiao was silent for a moment and did not move.
The jade pendant that Nangong Jin had given him before had already been returned to him, so it was really difficult to see him now.
