Da'an's best son-in-law
Chapter 111 Searching
Chi Linyuan came from a poor family. If he wanted to study poetry and calligraphy, he would naturally not be able to do anything to support his family, so all the responsibilities fell on Mr. Chi in the end.
Now Chi Linyuan was completely blacklisted by the Jizhou Provincial Examination because of cheating in the examination. From now on, he probably has no chance of success and can only help the old man with some work and sell on the street.
Ye Chen and Chi Yu walked side by side on the streets of Jizhou City. When they saw some hawkers, Ye Chen asked, "What can your grandfather do?"
"My grandpa? There are so many things he can do, such as weaving baskets, making lanterns, making kites..." Chi Yu bit his lips lightly, licked his fingers, and listed them all.
"Then you still live next to the slums?" Ye Chen was a little surprised.
With Mr. Chi's craftsmanship, Chi Yu and Chi Linyuan can feed Chi Yu and Chi Linyuan, even if they are not rich, they can probably guarantee basic food and clothing, and their lives will not be so embarrassing.
"Oh, my grandfather's craftsmanship is good, but he is very old, and his body can't stand it for a long time. In addition, those people at the stall always bully us. At the end of the day, there is not much time to do it well. Business"
"Bullying you?" Ye Chen was startled at first, and then understood what Chi Yu meant.
In these hawker circles that make a living from scattered businesses, stalls are indeed very important. Mr. Chi is very old, Chi Linyuan is a weak scholar, and Chi Yu is still young and a girl. , this family rarely gets bullied by others.
"Where is your brother setting up a stall today, in Beicheng?"
Liyue Village is in Nancheng, and the slums of Jizhou City are in Beicheng. If Chi Linyuan is really in Beicheng, Ye Chen will have to find a carriage. Otherwise, it will probably be dark when the two of them get there.
Lian'er originally wanted to follow, but was left behind by Ye Chen in Liyue Manor. Although the crisis was temporarily resolved, some of Wei Zhongwen's bottom lines and spies had not yet been fully uncovered, so Ye Chen had to stay on guard.
"My brother doesn't have a fixed location for his stall, but I know the places he goes to most often. Today is probably near Linli Street in Dongcheng. Today is the day of the temple fair. There are many people there and there are many people buying things. "Chi Yu said after thinking for a while.
"My brother has been to almost all of the South City, West City, and East City, but rarely in the North City."
Regarding Chi Linyuan's behavior, Ye Chen thought for a moment and understood. Beicheng is where the slums are located, and it is also where many lower-class people in Jizhou gather. It is difficult to even have food and clothing. Where can there be extra silver to buy Some entertainment gadgets in Chi Linyuan's hands.
"That's it, let's go then"
Ye Chen has never been to Linli Street, but the distance between Dongcheng and Nancheng is not too far. Guessing the time, the two of them can still get there before dark.
According to the habits of the Wei family, after today's crisis, the first thing to do is the clan meeting, and immediately after the clan meeting is the family banquet. Ye Chen is not very interested in these, but Wei Zhongwen will definitely participate. So he can't miss it either.
There is no other reason. Only Wei Yanran, Ye Chen and others really know what happened in Liyue Villa. What Mr. Wei Jin heard may not be the truth. If Wei Zhongwen took advantage of Ye Chen's absence to do something, then it would be true. Some trouble.
Ye Chen and Chi Yu were walking through the streets and alleys of Jizhou. Both of them were walking with their heads down. Along the way, they both kept silent in a tacit understanding. Under this silent atmosphere, there was still a trace of... Awkward.
"you"
"I"
The two people spoke almost at the same time, wanting to break the silence. After looking at each other, they both turned their heads angrily.
The sky is getting dark, and the night market in Jizhou City is gradually coming to life. Some vendors have put away their stalls and ended their busy day, while other small vendors who followed have already set up stalls on the roadside. , began to shout vigorously.
"By the time we get there, your brother won't be like them and has already closed the stall, right?"
There were still three streets away from Linli Street. Ye Chen couldn't help but ask as he looked at the busy vendors who were preparing to call it a day and go home.
It was getting late, and if Chi Linyuan happened to go back, their trip would be in vain.
Chi Yu shook his head confidently: "It's impossible. My brother always goes back very late. The temple fair has just started at this time, which is when there are many people. It's impossible for him to go back at this time."
The reason why Chi Linyuan did this was probably to earn more money.
Ye Chen nodded, said nothing, and continued on his way following Chi Yu.
The temple fair in Jizhou City is not as prosperous as the Mid-Autumn Festival, but it is still quite lively. The sky is only slightly dark, and the entire Linli Street will be crowded with people attending the temple fair. After a while, it will probably be blocked. It's all watery.
Ye Chen and Chi Yu could only move through the crowd with difficulty, looking for Chi Linyuan.
Chi Yu knew some fixed stalls in Chi Linyuan, but today was a temple fair, and those places were already occupied by other vendors. In addition, Chi Yu only knew the approximate location, so the two of them spent a lot of time searching. But Chi Linyuan was still not seen.
After all, he took the initiative to look for her. Even though the search was a bit troublesome, Ye Chen had to hold on to his temper and search alley after alley with Chi Yu.
"Your brother didn't come today, did he?"
After following the crowd for half a street, he still didn't see Chi Linyuan among the vendors. Ye Chen grabbed Chi Yu, who wanted to continue looking, and asked.
A clever woman can't make a meal without rice. If Chi Linyuan wasn't here, Ye Chen and Chi Yu wouldn't be able to find him even if they turned the whole street over.
Chi Yu pursed his lips in front of him, "Isn't there still half a street? Why are you so anxious?"
"I'm in a hurry." Ye Chen spread his hands and said helplessly.
"In a few hours, I have to rush back."
"How about you wait here now, and when I find my brother, I will bring him to see you." Chi Yu thought that Ye Chen was tired from walking and wanted to find an excuse to rest, so he took the job of finding someone on himself.
"not me....."
"Look, there are so many fun things to do around you. Take a look around. I'll bring my brother over soon. Wait for me." Before Ye Chen could speak, Chi Yu waved his hand, turned around, and disappeared. In the bustling crowd.
"This girl..."
Seeing that Chi Yu's figure was soon missing in the crowd, Ye Chen had to smile bitterly and gave up the idea of following him.
