Chapter 345: Whereabouts

Chu Junlan raised his eyes in surprise and faced Chu Huating's gaze: "This matter has something to do with Xiao Xu?"

"Yes." Chu Huating said in a deep voice, "I only knew about it from Mr. Xie. He originally promised the prince not to tell me about this matter, but the two of us have been getting along more and more closely these days. He felt that we should let me know who should remember the benefits of this time."

Chu Junlan nodded, remembering that when the elder brother met Xie Yu that day, Xiao Xu did not follow her to find out, which was abnormal. However, she had not thought much about it, and she did not think much about Xiao Xu's relationship with Xie Yu.

Chu Huating said: "When the prince was young, the emperor asked Mr. Xie to teach the princes and the children of several royal family members in Beijing, and the prince was among them. However, Mr. Xie thought the prince was a fool and refused to teach him, and refused in public, which made the prince laughed at for many years."

Everyone knows this incident, and even Chu Huating has heard of it. Otherwise, the prince of Gonggong would not have been "notorious" as stupid as he was.

"Later, as he grew older, whenever Mr. Xie thought of this, he felt sorry for it. He felt that it was because of his improper handling, which made the prince laugh. Until the prince recovered, Mr. Xie regretted it more and more. He believed that if he had accepted the prince and taught it as soon as possible, the prince might have been enlightened."

Chu Huating shook his head and sighed, "Sir is a kind person. Later, he went to find the prince to apologize and proposed a compensation punishment. But the prince said to the prince, "I can't blame him for this matter. It's normal for him to choose a smart and good talent as his disciple." Mr. Xie felt more and more guilty when he heard this and insisted on compensation. Finally, the prince asked Mr. Xie, 'If you try your best to compensate me, you will accept my uncle as his disciple'."

Chu Junlan nodded slowly: "So that's the case. I've been wondering why Mr. Xie came to our house with all his heart. It turned out that it was for this reason."

"Yes," Chu Huating sighed with emotion: "I think the prince doesn't want to add burden to our hearts. I sincerely help me find a good teacher for my better future. I don't ask for such a great kindness, and I don't plan to let you and me know at all. Lanlan, I think the prince's friendship with you should let you know the most. He helps me, in fact, it's for you. I appreciate it, and you must also appreciate it."

Chu Junlan nodded, of course she appreciated it.

Xiao Xu has never asked for anything in return for her. When the eldest brother got married, Xiao Xu gave them the house of Shichahai, and she already knew about his character.

After analyzing this matter, it is not difficult to guess that she started a winery business after her elder brother got married. Xiao Xu probably felt that the reason why she did business was also exciting to give a house, so that he did it quietly this time, and he didn't want to show off his merits at all. He just sincerely wanted her and her relatives to benefit.

Chu Junlan lowered his eyes and chuckled. When he thought of Xiao Xu, his heart felt soft. This idiot.

"Don't worry, brother, I know it in my heart."

Chu Huating said: "You should cherish such a good person. But don't tell me about this, don't tell me about it."

"Yes, I just pretended not to know."

Chu Huating felt relieved, then nodded and pointed outside and said, "Is that the plaque and Dou Fang given by the emperor?"

"The emperor ordered Mao Jiren to write it."

Chu Huating said with his eyes shiny, "I'll go and have a look!" As he said that, he rushed out and mixed among the onlookers to carefully appreciate Mao Guoshou's words.

The business of "Shenxian Brew" is already booming. The wine tickets sold in the wine box shop have been sold to the date of the end of next year, but Chu Junlan did not let go. He fixed as many as the pieces every day, and also paid extra attention to the date column when printing the wine tickets.

There was no such column at the beginning, but later Chu Junlan found that if there was no deadline for redemption on the wine ticket, someone would hoard the wine tickets and refuse to take action. This was a hidden danger to her.

Therefore, the new batch of wine tickets sold when they were first opened have no specified redemption dates. The latest batch of wine tickets have a deadline.

The business model of Shenxianjiu refreshed people in the capital and even major chambers of commerce, and their eyes were gathered here. Some people also thought of imitating Chu Junlan's business model, but no one could successfully copy it for a while.

Chu Junlan is no longer selling wine, but as she said at the beginning, she is selling money and has accumulated considerable wealth with her wine tickets.

Chu Hua called Chu Junlan in front of him and said earnestly: "Sister Lan has now made his business bigger and has attracted the attention of many people. You should be more cautious in your future. If you make a mistake in the branch, you will be afraid that you will give someone who is interested."

"Yes, my daughter understands that she will definitely act cautiously." Chu Junlan smiled and said, "At present, this business is not only owned by my daughter, but everyone who invests in it will supervise me. I will not do anything wrong with this."

Chu Hua smiled: "I know you are responsible for your work, and being a father is just a sentiment. I just give you advice for nothing."

"My father cares about me, so I naturally know."

"You are a good boy, by the way, I heard that your painting skills shocked Mr. Mao?"

Chu Junlan was speechless when he heard this: "What's the matter? It's too exaggerating. The news spread so quickly?"

"It's because Mr. Mao is addicted to painting these days and has delayed a lot of things. There are countless people who go to see him, and there are countless disciples. People outside are rumored that you have created a painting method and skills that are unprecedented. Mr. Mao is addicted to it at the sight, and he is reluctant to stop painting."

Speaking of this, Chu Hua smiled and said, "I don't know that you have such talent for my father. When will you show off at home and teach our people at home. Especially your sister Xi, you will have a little more bargaining chip when you learn to discuss marriage in the future."

Chu Junlan said laughing and cryingly: "This tool is all made by home, and it also requires smooth glazed plates. It is not easy to get it, but it is not difficult. Give me some time and I will make another set. Then I will draw and play with my brothers and sisters at home. But beforehand, this is really not a painting skill, it is just a play."

Chu Hua didn't know what Chu Junlan was saying, so she just thought she was humble and nodded happily, "Okay. I'll wait for my father to appreciate it."

In his spare time, Chu Junlan asked Xiao Xu to find materials and build a new sand painting platform. This time, he had plenty of time, so he was naturally more sophisticated than what he did before.

Xiao Xu curiously grabbed a handful of filters, fryed the fine sand, and asked Chu Junlan with a smile: "The uncle has heard of that, and he knows that Master Mao has eaten it with you, and he praises you with a smile. He is also very curious about your painting skills. In fact, I am also very curious about what kind of painting skills it is that can shock Mr. Mao's proud people."

Chu Junlan smiled. Although the painting stand had not been completed, there was already a piece of glass plate. She leaned over the beauty sitting side by side with Xiao Xu in the backyard of the winery, grabbed the fine sand and started painting.

At first, Xiao Xu only stared at Chu Junlan's hands. Her fingers were slender and slender, and her skin was delicate and fair, just like a craftsman carefully carved with a good piece of white jade, making people unable to see it.

But in just a moment, Xiao Xu's admiring eyes were replaced by surprise.

Chu Junlan was wearing the silver-sleeved cloak that Xiao Xu gave her. The glass plate was placed flat on the silver-white brocade material, and the picture outlined by the fine sand seemed particularly clear.

Xiao Xu saw Chu Junlan paint a child with a horn, but in a round of drawings, the child became a handsome boy with a silly face. The boy was almost similar to his appearance, and the characters she drew were not the kind of painting he used to, but it seemed that the person in the painting was real and vivid.

Chu Junlan's slender fingers tweaked a few times, and the stupid boy smiled and bent his eyes. Then the picture turned around. The boy was already a young man, with a cold face, and a mermaid thousands of miles away.

Chu Junlan twisted the fine sand and outlined the shadow on Xiao Xu's neck in the painting, and smiled and said, "I used this to paint Mr. Mao that day. If you like it, I will teach you another day."

Xiao Xu nodded, watched the person in the painting come back from the stunning, and looked at Chu Junlan with his eyes full of admiration: "So that's it. It's not that Mr. Mao would praise you when he meets everyone. If the emperor and uncle meet, he will definitely like it."

"Forget it, I'm just a trick of carving and doing it all for entertainment. I can't be considered a real painting. It's just that I'm just entertaining myself on weekdays. That day, Mr. Mao's words were too rude, so I would come up with this bad idea."

Xiao Xu smiled. He had heard about the incident that day in front of the emperor, but he regretted not being able to go with Chu Junlan.

Just then, Huo Yeqing strode and saluted Xiao Xu: "Crown Prince."

Xiao Xu raised his eyes and asked, "What's the matter?"

Huo Yeqing glanced at Chu Junlan and hesitated and said, "The prince arranged for the people who went to the south to investigate the news about Ziyuan Girl is back."

Chu Junlan put away the fine sand and handed the glass plate to Jing Yu. Hearing this, he raised his eyes to Xiao Xu and Huo Yeqing.

Huo Yeqing said: "The man who took Miss Ziyuan away that day, saw that he was beautiful in life, so he sold it for a high price. It is said that the buyer was a businessman from the south and said he was taking it back to be his wife. However, after careful investigation, we found that when the businessman passed by the Huaijing generation, he sold it for the brothel again."

When Zi Yan heard this, she covered her mouth and tears fell down.

In order to protect Chu Junlan who was unconscious, Zi Yuan verbally bumped into Aunt Wang and was sold by Aunt Wang when she found a mistake. Before that, the master and servant were like sisters. When Chu Junlan suffered from the wood zombie syndrome and was unconscious, Zi Yan and Zi Yuan depended on each other and remained with Chu Junlan.

Now that Aunt Wang has been in prison for a long time, there has been no news about Ziyuan's whereabouts.

Chu Junlan and Zi Yan both understood that the world was so great that Xiao Xu ordered people to find someone, just like looking for a needle in a haystack, and he would not urge him. Zi Yan was even more sensible. She missed her younger sister Zi Yuan, and she just secretly wiped her tears, for fear that her girl would not be able to get over it. She would mention it in front of her and make the master sad.

Now, their lives are getting better and better. Even the culprit, Aunt Wang, has beheaded, but Zi Yuan has fallen into chaos.

"What happened later?" Chu Junlan's voice hoarse.

Huo Yeqing said: "Miss Ziyuan's beauty seems to be the top player in a brothel. Later, she was bought by a wealthy businessman at a high price. I heard that the wealthy businessman came to the capital."

Chu Junlan said anxiously: "So, Ziyuan is very likely to have come to the direction of the capital with the wealthy businessman?"

"Yes." Huo Yeqing nodded.

For a moment, the yard was quiet.

Several people were watching Chu Junlan's reaction and waiting for her to make up her mind.

Chu Junlan closed her eyes, and her original body's emotions were turbulent. She was already completely integrated with this body, and she had empathized with both memory and feelings.

Zi Yuan was so well-deserved that she was so implicated by her. While she was living a comfortable life, she still didn't know how much suffering Zi Yuan had suffered outside.

"Your people will continue to inquire along the way to the north by the wealthy businessman. As long as you find Ziyuan's whereabouts, no matter how much money you have, you must redeem the person." Chu Junlan grabbed Xiao Xu's hand.

Xiao Xu nodded and tightly held Chu Junlan's mouth: "Okay, don't worry, I will help you find Ziyuan." The thumb of the other hand slid across Chu Junlan's cheek, wiping off her tears.

Chu Junlan realized that his face was wet, and quickly lowered his head and wiped away his tears.

She is the least willing to show weakness in front of others. Even when she is confused, she likes to lick her wounds alone, and is unwilling to show her soft and incompetent side, which will make her feel embarrassed.

Xiao Xu seemed to know what she thought, and did not ask more questions about this matter. He waved his hand and signaled Mr. Huo to ask him to go down and do the job. Instead, he thoughtfully changed the topic and talked about other things.

Seeing this, Zi Yan hurriedly hid aside and quietly wiped her tears, fearing that her emotions would affect Chu Junlan.

Xiao Xu accompanied Chu Junlan for a long time and said things. Seeing that she finally recovered and her mood was no longer depressed, she said goodbye and left.

Before leaving, he didn't forget to hold Chu Junlan's hand and said, "Don't worry, I will help you do whatever you want. Just calm down and wait for the news. I will have everything else."

"I know." Chu Junlan looked up at Xiao Xu. This person never liked to show off his merits when doing things for her. It was like helping his elder brother become a disciple. How much did he do for her behind his back?

Xiao Xu pointed at the tip of her nose and left.

Zi Yan said, "Girl, let's go home too."

Chu Junlan nodded, knew Ziyuan's whereabouts, and knew that she was so unbearable, Chu Junlan lost his mood to slackened.

Unexpectedly, as soon as the master and servant walked out of the winery, they saw a man running towards him in a hurry.

"Miss Chu, please help me!"

The old man's hair was scattered and his steps were staggering. He came to him and grabbed Chu Junlan: "Please help me, Mr. Fu is not going to be able to do it!"

Through the old man's scattered gray hair, Chu Junlan recognized him at a glance as Liu Bo who drove the car to take her and Fu Zhiheng to Huaijing.

"What's wrong with Mr. Fu? Uncle Liu, please make it clear!"
