Yuan Yueque chased after her and explained in a low voice, "I really didn't know that Doudou also suffered from heart disease."

His tone was very gentle, and his posture was deliberately low, and he did not see the strong aura of Wu Anhou just now.

Wu Xuan hugged Doudou and didn't look back, "I think Marquis Wu'an also knows that heart disease needs rest."

"Okay, I understand what you mean." Yuan Yueque stopped, "Take him back to have a good rest, and I'll see him tomorrow."

After Wu Xuan and Doudou left, Yuan Yueque called Gu Jin, "When did you find Doudou?"

Gu Jin said: "The year before last. But at that time I only saw the jade pendant, so I was not sure. I was really sure after meeting you."

"He looks very similar to me." Yuan Yueque rubbed the jade pendant in his hand, "Although Pingting and I are twins of dragon and phoenix, we don't look exactly alike. Doudou looks more like me .”

That's why he didn't think about Doudou's physical problems for the first time just now. He thought Doudou was a boy like him when he was young, the kind who could skip school and fight alive.

Yuan Yueque thought carefully, Doudou was really different from Pingting.He looked much healthier than Pingting, he was able to go out for banquets and eat outside food, although his face was not rosy, he didn't look sick either.

It's good that Doudou's heart disease is not as serious as Pingting's.

In fact, what Yuan Yueque didn't know was that Doudou's heart disease was actually more serious than his mother's due to the premature birth, and it was only because of the restorative agent and Wu Xuan's usual care that she maintained her current state.

"Make a copy of Doudou and all the information about the person next to him, and send it to the Marquis of Wu'an tomorrow." Yuan Yueque ordered.

"Yes." Gu Jin hesitated for a moment, then added: "They will leave Beijing early tomorrow morning and go to Yugu Saltworks."

Don't tell such important news in advance, and when Marquis Wu'an comes to find someone tomorrow and finds out that the person has left, I'm afraid he will spread the fire on him.

"Nonsense!" Yuan Yueque was really angry, "Heart disease needs rest, how can he survive the long journey!"

Gu Jin silently bowed her head and did not speak.

Wu Xuan carried Doudou to the carriage, and directly took out a small bottle of repair agent from Yu Peili.

These are a batch of small jade bottles made by Ji Changfeng, and Wu Xuan took them to pack the restoration agent as soon as they were delivered.

"Brother Xuan, I'm fine." Doudou said.However, he still took a sip of the repair agent. The jade bottle is very small and only takes one sip. Drinking it as water can moisten the throat.

After waiting for a while, Liu Siyuan also came over, "Today's banquet started very late and ended very early, it's really strange."

Wu Xuan said: "Who told them to be so strict with the rules." Marquis Wu An couldn't have a banquet before he came, and Marquis Wu An didn't let the others eat after he finished eating.

When the three of them returned home, Wu Xuan and Doudou packed up their things and loaded them into the carriage.

Although most of the things are in the jade pendant, there are always some things outside to cover people's eyes and ears.

Liu Siyuan also helped Wu Xuan carry a small table, Wu Xuan saw that he really wanted to help, so he didn't refuse.

Liu Siyuan said: "Tomorrow I will enter the Imperial Academy as an errand."

"Do it well!" Wu Xuan encouraged him, "You won't join the cabinet unless you are in the Imperial Academy. Siyuan, you have a bright future!"

Liu Siyuan said again: "I rented a small courtyard near the Hanlin Academy. The news of being a Jinshi must have spread back home. My mother will come to join me soon."

Renting this yard almost used up all the silver taels issued to him by the court.But there was no other way, after his mother chased her to the capital, she definitely couldn't continue to live in Wu Xuan's house.

"Hey!" Wu Xuan sighed.Although Liu Siyuan didn't say clearly what was wrong with his mother, but the occasional words revealed, it can already be seen that she is a very difficult old lady.

"Brother Wenxuan, I will move out early tomorrow morning." Liu Siyuan handed Wu Xuan the key to the gate and the key to the courtyard where he lived.

Wu Xuan patted him on the shoulder, "Hold it, if something happens, you will still have a place to go."

Wu Xuan still remembered how he picked up Liu Siyuan at the door at the beginning of the year, his clothes were torn, and he was so hungry that he couldn't stand upright.Liu Siyuan would have to run out of the house even in that state, which shows how terrifying his mother is.

Liu Siyuan still refused, Wu Xuan said: "We are not in the capital during this time, so you should watch the gate for us."

-

Early the next morning, the three of them came out of the house together. Wu Xuan and Doudou were going to the Yamen of the Ministry of Industry, and they happened to take Liu Siyuan to the Imperial Academy on the way.

When they arrived at the gate of the Yamen of the Ministry of Industry, one of the colleagues had already arrived. Like Wu Xuan, he only brought a carriage and was driven by a servant.

After waiting for a quarter of an hour, another person rushed over. There was a big carriage in front, followed by two small carts, and finally there was a cart carrying luggage.

Dou Hongyan cupped his hands towards Wu Xuan and Xia Tengfei, "You two virtuous brothers, I'm sorry, something happened on the way, so I'm a little late."

Wu Xuan also cupped his hands towards him, and said politely: "It's okay."

Xia Tengfei flicked his sleeves and urged: "Let's go!"

Yugu County is on the east side of the capital, so when you go out of the city, you have to go through the east gate.

When a group of people left the city gate, they saw a row of motorcades parked on the side of the road. In the middle was an extremely gorgeous green carriage, which was more than twice the size of other carriages. In front of the carriage were three pure white tall horses. .

Dou Hongyan was surprised: "Is this the convoy of Marquis Wu'an?"

His Majesty named General Wu'an Hou Zhennan, and all the sailors under his command became regular troops.Such a big battle, is there another pirate in the south?

"There is the sign of Yuan's family on the car, it is Marquis Wu'an." Xia Tengfei urged, "Let's go quickly, don't block Marquis Wu'an's way."

Wu Xuan was the first to walk in the front, followed by Xia Tengfei and Dou Hongyan.

After walking a certain distance, the two people behind realized that something was wrong, "How did Marquis Wu An catch up? Should we make way?"

Wu Xuan said: "Let's go our way normally. If they want to overtake, they will naturally speed up."

But judging by the sluggishness of the convoy, it should be that they intend to follow them all the time.

Wu Xuan and the others ate their lunch in the carriage, and the motorcade behind them didn't stop for rest, and followed them not far or near.

In the evening, resting at the Daping Mansion post station, Dou Hongyan was so curious that he quietly asked the coachman to inquire about it, and came back and said, "Marquis Wu'an also went to Yugu County, saying that he took His Majesty's order to practice a game at Yugu Wharf. Sailor."

"How did you find out such confidential information?" Xia Tengfei asked him.

"You—" Dou Hongyan was about to refute, but stopped under Xia Tengfei's gaze.Although he was not convinced, he also sensed that something was wrong. Marquis Wu An's subordinates were said to be very well-trained, so how could they disclose this kind of news to his coachman.

Wu Xuan said: "Don't guess, it doesn't matter what his purpose is, it has nothing to do with our saltworks anyway."

Xia Tengfei agreed: "Yes, we only need to get things done in the saltworks, and don't be too curious about the rest."

-

In the evening of the next day, a group of people arrived outside Yugu County.The person in charge of the salt field who had received the news came to greet him, "Your official, Sun Bo, has already prepared accommodation for the three adults, and it's in the government office of our salt field."

Because Wu Xuan was an official appointed by His Majesty, Sun Bo deliberately vacated the largest courtyard of the Salt Field Office for him. The residence of Dou Hongyan and Xia Tengfei was next door to Wu Xuan, which was slightly smaller than his.

A group of people went in to put down their luggage and went to the reception banquet prepared by Sun Bo.

Wu Xuan asked Doudou, "Do you want to go? Or do you want to rest at home?"

Doudou hesitated for a while, then said: "I'll be at home, put things back."

"Okay." Wu Xuan rubbed his hands, "Just pack some light ones, and I'll get the big ones when I come back."

Doudou nodded.

After Wu Xuan left, Doudou walked around in the unfamiliar yard, getting acquainted with the surroundings roughly.Then find the bedroom, replace all the quilts with what they brought, and put away the rest of the tea sets, lamps and other small items one by one.

Wu Xuan went to the reception banquet, so he definitely didn't have to come back for dinner.Doudou didn't bother to do it herself, so she directly took out a food box from Yu Peili.

Inside is the old duck soup of Yipinlou, a steamed mandarin fish and a few stir-fried dishes.

The luminous lamp was placed by the table, the plates were arranged one by one, and the food was still steaming. Against the backdrop of the bright white luminous stone, it looked very delicious.

Doudou picked up the spoon, scooped up a small bowl of soup, put it near his mouth, and blew gently.

"Do you only eat these every day?" A voice suddenly sounded from outside the door, with irrepressible anger.

Doudou shook her hand, and the spoon hit the edge of the plate, making a crisp sound.

"Be careful!" The anger in the voice disappeared in an instant, and turned into complete worry and eagerness.

Doudou put down the bowl and chopsticks, and said to Yuan Yueque who suddenly rushed in front of him but didn't dare to touch him: "How did you come in?"

"I knocked on the door, but no one answered, so I climbed in from the wall." Yuan Yueque said this without feeling guilty at all.

Doudou reached out and gestured for the seat next to her, "Sit down."

Yuan Yueque sat down obediently.

When I was getting food just now, I only took a pair of bowls and chopsticks from Yu Peili, so I didn't have anything extra for Yuan Yueque.Fortunately, he didn't care, he just looked Doudou up and down carefully twice, and asked, "How is your health? Are you tired from riding in a carriage these days?"

"Very good, not tired." Doudou picked up the bowl and sipped the soup.

Yuan Yueque asked again: "Do you usually eat alone? Wu Wenxuan won't accompany you?"

"Brother Xuan always stays with me when I'm at home," Doudou said.

"That is to say, when he is not at home, you eat alone?" Yuan Yueque's anger came up again, "How could he treat you like this! There are only two or three dishes on the table! You are alone Sit down at the table!"

Doudou picked up a chopstick of vegetables and put them in his mouth to chew slowly.

Looking at his gentle movements, Yuan Yueque's anger disappeared unconsciously, and her voice softened, "Doudou, I'm the one who's sorry for you. I didn't protect Pingting well, and I didn't protect you well either. Come back with me." How is your family, I will make up for what I owe you all these years."

Doudou said: "You don't owe me anything, and I don't need your protection."

"Doudou, I am your uncle! Your mother is my only sister! Now that she is gone, you are my only relative in this world. I have the responsibility to take care of you!" Yuan Yueque emphasized.

"I'm married to Brother Xuan, he will take care of me." Doudou looked up at Yuan Yueque, "As for uncle, if you are willing to associate with us, we will visit you every Chinese New Year."

"Are you willing to recognize me?" Yuan Yueque asked in surprise.Seeing Doudou's indifferent attitude just now, he thought Doudou was angry because of what happened that day.
