Rebirth Strategy: Please let me go

It was already a day later when An Jinshu received the news that Wen Heng was missing. She secretly sent people to look for him, but she couldn't find any clues.

She blamed herself for this for a long time. She kept Wen Heng secretly at first, but then went back on her word. She originally planned to send Wen Heng out of Yangzhou and give him a sum of money to free him, but she didn't expect to encounter thieves along the way. His carriage was overturned, and when the coachman woke up, only debris was left on the ground, with no trace of property or people.

An Jinshu had suspected that it was the two big men who had done it, but she and the other party were clean and it was of no benefit at all for the other party to act like this.

She had no choice but to send more people to search secretly, but after half a month of searching, there were no clues. An Jinshu had to listen to Hong Li's advice and stop.

According to Hong Li, if the person is caught, it will be extremely difficult for her to find him now. If the person is not caught, if the person does not return after so long, then he is taking a risk and does not want to have anything to do with the Protectorate. connection.

If he died and was found, he would only be a pile of rotten flesh. The cost of finding someone, the time and money required, were immeasurable. Even if she, a boudoir girl, had the financial resources, she would not be able to do what she wanted.

But even so, An Jinshu still sent one person to pay attention to Wen Heng's news. She felt guilty, so she had to see the person with her own eyes before she believed it, whether he was dead or alive.

The new year has passed, mid-spring has arrived, the earth is turning green, everything is welcoming spring, and the red apricots on the wall are poking out of their branches. The An family finally receives a letter from An Ruhe from Kyoto.

Every word in the letter revealed his longing and concern for his relatives at home, and also told about the local customs and interesting things he encountered in Kyoto. At the end, Xinde also said that he and An Jinran had set off in mid-February and were returning home quickly, calling. Don't worry, family members.

Everyone in the An family cried with joy after receiving this letter, and Mrs. Qu even burst into tears. An Jinshu took the letter and read it over and over again. When he saw in the letter, his father described the monkey show on the streets of Kyoto in a humorous tone, he couldn't help but be happy. The top of his eyebrows burst into laughter.

Then she was busy suppressing her laughter, but anyone could see her happiness.

In March, the peach blossoms are in bloom, and the flowers are in full bloom, beautiful and fragrant. An Ruhe and An Jinran returned home after An Jinshu had just learned how to make flower cakes.

Suddenly, the Governor's Mansion, which had been depressed for several months, finally became warmer. Following An Ruhe's return home, there were endless requests and invitations from various aristocratic families.

An Ruhe declined on the grounds that the late emperor's death anniversary had not yet passed.

Meng Xia had just arrived at the anniversary of the death of Emperor Chong of the Yuan Dynasty. The whole city of Yangzhou seemed to have come to life. After three months, the sound of gongs, drums and suonas was finally heard again. I don’t know who’s family is having a happy event. The sound of firecrackers has been going off since early morning and into the night. It seems that I have to make up for what I haven’t released in the past few months.

An Jinshu couldn't laugh or cry as she looked at the pile of greetings and invitations in front of her. There were dozens of nobles from various aristocratic families in Yangzhou City, and the posts in front of her accounted for most of them.

Although she knew that the families had already been unable to restrain their thoughts, was this a bit exaggerated?

Red carp and green dill sat at the table and counted the exquisite posts, becoming more and more surprised as they counted.

Finally, he shouted out in disbelief: "Miss, there are actually ten greeting cards and fifteen invitation cards here, a total of twenty-five. Even if we count the little-known aristocratic families in Yangzhou City, they are only thirty." Five families.”

"Who says it's not the case? If we follow these posts to meet guests, it would take a month for the young lady to meet a family every day." Luluo agreed.

"From these posts, you pick five important ones, three that you can make friends with, and reply to the rest."

An Jinshu didn't even want to see these eight if it was not necessary. None of those young ladies from aristocratic families were easy to get along with. She knew this well in her previous life.

"Have you received any messages from my brother?"

Hong Li nodded: "The spies came to report and said that the fourth young master also received two posts."

Upon hearing that Gu Qingchen had also received the post, An Jinshu became interested and asked, "Which two are they?"

"It's Zhang Xiucai's house and Prince Duan's house in Xitou."

"Prince Duan's Mansion?" An Jinshu was surprised, then pointed to the post on the table: "Does Prince Duan's Mansion have an invitation for me?"

Hong Li thought for a moment, rummaged around quickly, and then pulled out a post with the private seal of Prince Duan's Palace from the bottom of the post: "Yes, Miss."

An Jinshu took the post and carefully opened it to check its content. The person who posted the post was Princess Anyang, and the post invited her to visit the West Lake in the middle of this month.

An Jinshu closed the post and stood up: "Let's go to Junlan Pavilion."

Princess Anyang invited her to visit the lake in the middle of the year. Gu Qingchen must be the same as her. Princess Anyang and Gu Qingchen had a romantic relationship. She needed to find out when Gu Qingchen met this person. Princess Anyang, by the way, see if he has anything to do with Prince Duan.

But she never expected that her father and brother would be there when she arrived at Junlan Pavilion. She looked surprised and said, "Dad, did I disturb you?"

An Ruhe laughed and waved to her, beckoning her to come into the room: "Yanyan, you came just in time, your brother and I are discussing about hosting a banquet for your brother to recognize your brother in the near future. Do you think it will be a good time these days? "

"So it's such a good thing." An Jinshu said with a happy smile, and then looked at Gu Qingchen who was sitting not far away: "Since it is my brother's business, I might as well let him make the decision himself. Is there anything I can do?" Claim?"

Gu Qingchen, however, calmly laid his eyes on An Ruhe: "But it's up to my father to make the decision."

His answer was unexpected by An Jinshu. He had always done enough in front of others, so that no one could fault him.

"It happened that I got a good piece of material. I will ask the craftsman to use it to make a private seal. Do you have a style that I like? If so, you can draw it for me. I will ask the craftsman to make it according to the drawing. Since I want to show it, A wedding banquet cannot be held without a private seal."

An Jinshu looked at Gu Qingchen with the concern of a sister who only cares about her younger brother.

She didn't wait for Gu Qingchen's thanks when she said this, but instead waited for An Ruhe's voice of annoyance: "Yes, yes, yes, look at my brain that has forgotten such a big thing, and I am still so smart, otherwise I would be a father." What a shame."

An Jinshu immediately became shy and said in a coquettish tone: "No way, Daddy, Daddy has a lot of work, and my mother is even more busy in charge of the middle school. As a sister, I should be concerned about this kind of thing."

An Ruhe smiled and walked up to her and rubbed her head with his big hand: "I am very pleased to see that your brother and sister have such a good relationship."

An Jinshu wanted to tell her father: Don't believe it, it's all an illusion.

But there was a hint of teasing on his face. He glanced at Gu Qingchen secretly and nodded obediently.

When Gu Qingchen saw her like this, he didn't react much except for his eyes to shrink. Then he stood up, clasped his fists and said considerately to An Ruhe: "Son, I heard that there have been a lot of greetings in the house recently, so father might as well finish his work before settling down." It’s not too late for the banquet.”

"Hey!" An Ruhe waved his big hand and rejected his proposal: "This marriage recognition should have been completed a few months ago. If it weren't for the urgent call from the capital, it wouldn't have been delayed until today. Look at this April. Twenty is a good day, so that’s the day.”

"But..." Gu Qingchen was about to say more when An Ruhe interrupted him loudly.

"This matter has been settled. Don't try to persuade me."

Seeing that An Ruhe had made up his mind, Gu Qingchen had no choice but to give up, clasping his fists and bowing: "My son understands."

After the discussion, An Ruhe and An Jinran left first. An Jinshu had something to do, so he said goodbye to them and returned to the house.
