The morning light is dim.
A faint fragrance rises along with the smoke.
Lu Yunxi woke up from her sleep and looked at the light smoke not far away, with a hint of surprise in her eyes.
"You guys started cooking so early?"
The maid carefully brought the towel and basin to her and explained with a smile, "Madam is preparing a feast to thank the two guests for saving her life."
She looked at the rising sun outside, her brows furrowed, and thought to herself: Up so early! That lady looks old and not in the best of health. Will she collapse from exhaustion soon?!
After washing up, Master Lu Yunxi and his disciple came to the hall full of worry and chatted with Jin Baoer.
However, because she was always worried about the old-looking lady, she was a little absent-minded.
But although she explicitly and implicitly suggested that the lady come over to rest, she was firmly opposed by her.
no way.
She could only suppress her anxiety and continue to wait.
At noon, in the main hall of the Jin family.
Lu Yunxi was warmly invited by the Jin family and sat in the seat of honor with Shen San.
"Miss Lu, Mr. Shen, come and try my cooking," Mrs. Jin greeted them enthusiastically, pointing to the dishes on the table, "I haven't cooked for a long time, and I don't know if my skills have deteriorated."
Before Lu Yunxi and the other person could say anything, Jin Baoer immediately praised her, saying, "Mom, your cooking is still so delicious!"
Mrs. Jin couldn't help but laugh: "Because I'm best at river fish, I made a lot of river fish today. I wonder if you guys will like it?"
Lu Yunxi casually picked up a dish from the table with chopsticks and swallowed it before he could savor it carefully. He smiled and praised, "Madam's cooking skills are really amazing. This steamed fish is so tender! I..."
Hmm? This smell is...
She frowned slightly, picked up another big piece of food with chopsticks, and tasted it carefully.
After tasting the dishes on the table one by one, her face showed more and more surprise, while her heart went from calmness at the beginning to shock and then to joy.
The dishes made by this lady are 90% similar to those made by her mother!
Could this Mrs. Jin be related to her mother? She looked quite old, could she be from my grandmother's family?
Lu Yunxi began to guess secretly.
"By the way, Miss Lu, what are you doing here? Although our Huzhou is a big city, not many people come here to travel." Generally, people who come here have something to do.
She lowered her eyes, thought for three seconds, and then said with a smile: "Yes, I'm actually here to look for someone."
"Are you looking for someone? I have lived in Huzhou for many years, and I know most of the people here. Who are you looking for? If you don't mind, you can tell me and I will ask someone to help you find him." Mrs. Jin was stunned for a moment, and then quickly offered to help her.
Lu Yunxi's eyes lit up. The Jin family had been operating in Huzhou for many years and were considered the local tyrants. If they could help her, she would be able to find someone much faster. She could also take this opportunity to test whether the Jin family was her grandmother's family!
She took out a purse from her arms (actually from the space), which contained the jade pendant her mother left her.
"This is the jade pendant my mother left me." She carefully held up her jade pendant, but her peripheral vision was always focused on Mrs. Jin's expression. "I want to find my mother's relatives. My mother asked me to see how they are doing."
However, Mrs. Jin's reaction was beyond Lu Yunxi's expectations.
She remained calm and didn't reach out to touch the jade pendant. She only carefully examined it several times and nodded. "Oh... so that's how it is. Then I'll have the painter paint the jade pendant and give it to the people below to find the person."
As she spoke, she called the housekeeper over and told him to go look for the person quickly.
Lu Yunxi: Did she guess wrong?
Time goes by day by day.
A week later, Lu Yunxi did not urge them, but Mrs. Jin could no longer sit still.
While Lu Yunxi was out for a walk, she called the housekeeper over.
"Butler, where is the person Miss Lu is looking for? How is the search going? Why is there no movement at all?"
"Madam, there is no news about the person Miss Lu is looking for..." The housekeeper secretly had a headache, "Madam, don't worry, we will find him as soon as possible."
Mrs. Jin couldn't help but frown when she heard this. The housekeeper had been working in the family for many years, so it was impossible for him to not be able to handle such a small matter. It seemed that the person Miss Lu was looking for was indeed very well hidden.
"Mom! Look what I bought for you?" Just then, Jin Baoer came running in.
Mrs. Jin waved her hand and asked the housekeeper to leave.
Taking the street snacks her precious daughter brought her, she smiled and said, "Where did you go today? Do you have enough money? If not, I'll give it to you."
Jin Baoer didn't continue the topic at this time. Instead, she mentioned the housekeeper's anxiety just now: "Mom, haven't Sister Yunxi's family members been found yet? Can you let me see what we have found so far? I can also help."
Mrs. Jin pointed to the papers on the table and said, "There's only information about Miss Lu's jade pendant. There's no other information."
Jin Baoer picked up the drawing paper and looked at it carefully.
"According to the housekeeper, Miss Lu should be from an official family, and she is not a low-ranking official. The jade pendant is of very good quality and not something that ordinary people can afford..." Mrs. Jin introduced it seriously, but she didn't think the information was of any use.
"Huh?!" Jin Baoer looked at the drawing in her hand and suddenly exclaimed in surprise.
