A trace of helplessness flashed in the woman's eyes: "I don't know, how could they tell me..."
Zhu Lan's expression was cold: "Let's go, follow me back to Beijing."
“No, no!” The woman hurriedly grabbed Zhu Lan’s hand, “Qingxi Town, it should…it should be in Qingxi Town!”
"How do you know?"
“A child of the little prince’s age would cry incessantly if he was hungry.
The group of people thought of this when they came to see me. They came in disguise and brought a woman with them. I guess she was responsible for feeding the baby like me, otherwise the baby would cry all the way and would definitely attract attention. "
"Is that woman from Qingxi Town?" Zhu Lan asked.
The woman nodded. "My mother is from Qingxi Town. The woman's accent is very similar to hers."
Qingxi Town is located in Tongzhou. If the group of people, with their children, ran too far away, it would easily attract attention, so it made sense for them to hide nearby.
Zhu Lan had a direction in mind, and gave the woman some advice, telling her not to mention what happened that day to others, otherwise she would be imprisoned.
When the woman saw that Zhu Lan was not going to take her away, she thanked him profusely, and only then did Zhu Lan let her go.
…
After a whole day's journey, Zhu Lan and his companions finally entered Qingxi Town.
Zhu Lan looked at the ever-changing scene in Qingxi Town and couldn't help feeling a little emotional.
The last time I came here was with Zhu Qingyan and Ning Yuejun. I debated on the stage with the young master of the Lu family from Qingzhu Academy, and finally won equal rights to study for women in the whole town.
The carriage stopped in front of the Qingzhu Academy. Yan Jing jumped off the carriage first, then said "Huh" and slowly said:
"The gate is wide open, and the fragrance of bamboo reflects the noble character.
The combination of hardness and softness, the clouds, mountains, grass and trees are all articles of art. "
She turned around and shouted, "Aunt, this handwriting looks so familiar, it's exactly the same as yours!"
Zhu Lan got off the carriage and touched Yan Jing's head with a smile.
She looked at the two pillars of the academy's gate and saw the inscriptions she had written many years ago that looked weathered.
It was just the time for school to end. Students in the academy walked out talking and laughing. Many girls, dressed in student uniforms, were discussing what they had learned that day with bright smiles on their faces.
Zhu Lan turned around, and Lu Zhiyi saw her. He was stunned for a moment before recognizing her, with a hint of surprise in his eyes.
"Wish, wish, miss?"
"Mr. Lu, how are you?" Zhu Lan greeted him with a smile. "How is your father?"
"Okay, everything is fine! Why are you here? Please come in!"
Lu Zhiyi was so happy that he was a little incoherent. He quickly invited Zhu Lan and his men into the house and sent someone to tell his father Lu Qingfeng.
Lu Qingfeng was originally out on business, but when he heard that Zhu Lan was coming, he immediately rushed back home and asked Lu Zhiyi to book a table at the best restaurant in the town to entertain Zhu Lan well.
"Not busy." Zhu Lan explained to the Lu family's daughter with a smile, saying that he didn't want to make it public at this time.
Lu Qingfeng understood and invited the man to his house.
After everyone sat down, Zhu Lan got straight to the point. Zheng Yu said:
"I came here this time to use the Lu family's reputation in Qingxi Town to find someone."
…
Zhu Lan and Yan Jing temporarily settled down in the Lu Mansion.
Qingzhu Academy is the largest academy in Qingxi Town. At that time, the academic atmosphere in Qingxi Town was very prosperous, and almost every household had children sent to Qingzhu Academy to study.
As local gentry, the Lu family's connections and voice here are, to some extent, even more useful than those of the government.
Sure enough, on the morning of the third day, Lu Zhiyi rushed back home and knocked on Zhu Lan's door.
"Miss Zhu, I'm here to ask!"
