I became an official of the imperial court by eating melons when I was still a baby

The system continued: [Chu Ran was very surprised to receive the note. Although he didn't know who gave the message, as long as there was a slight possibility, he would try it.]

[So, he followed the information on the note to find the cliff, and then followed the river downstream to ask questions. This time he found the location of the Lu family.]

[The Lu family is the richest family in Jiangnan, and the only legitimate daughter of the richest family is well-known in that area. As the personal maid of the legitimate daughter, she naturally appears in public frequently. Therefore, Sister Cuixi is not an unknown person in that area.]

[Plus, even after Sister Cui Xi grew up, she still looked like a child. The key point is that her facial features are very obvious, and the mole at the corner of her mouth makes it easy for the person being asked to associate the person in the painting with Cui Xi, the personal maid of the daughter of the Lu family.]

[Chu Ran followed the clues and found the Lu family with the portrait. In this way, he found out the whereabouts of Sister Cui Xi. He will be able to arrive in the capital this afternoon.]

Qin Yue: [I didn't expect that in the end it was because of the only surviving human trafficker that he provided the most crucial clue that allowed Chu Ran to finally find Sister Cui Xi's whereabouts.]

[It was the Chu family and Chu Ran's persistence that allowed us to meet again. It was really not easy! ]

System: [Yes! It was really not easy! Chu Ran gave up the imperial examination to find someone, and wandered all the way. Alas, it was his persistence that finally brought him success. ]

Cui Xi was no longer confused as before.

Now Chu Ran only has her as a relative in the world. The Chu family and Chu Ran have gone through too many hard days and too many sad years in order to find her. From now on, she only wants Chu Ran to feel happy and do her best to make him happy.

Time passed quickly and it was already afternoon. Chu Ran, dressed in rags and dragging his tired body, walked towards the capital city with difficulty and determination, just as he had been doing all these years.

Looking up, he could already see the city gate. Chu Ran encouraged himself in his heart: It's almost time, it's almost time, I can finally see my little sister again. It's been more than ten years since we last saw each other, and it seems like a flash of time. It's a pity that my parents will never be able to see her again.

When he set out for the capital, he had already been to the Chu family cemetery and told his four relatives the news of finding his younger sister, hoping that they would be able to rest in peace and have no regrets if they knew about it.

Before they died, they were still thinking about my little sister. Now she has finally been found. Maybe it was their blessing.

Thinking of this, Chu Ran gritted his teeth, leaned on a branch, lowered his head and continued to walk forward with difficulty.

It was not until he reached the city gate that a pair of clean embroidered shoes caught his eye. No matter whether he moved left or right, the pair of embroidered shoes was always in his sight, without deviation.

He couldn't help but look up, wanting to see what was going on with the owner of the embroidered shoes, why he was standing in front of others and not moving...

However, the moment he looked up and saw the person, he was completely stunned.

The person who came was none other than Cui Xi.

At this moment, she was looking at the man in front of her with tears in her eyes. He was only three years older than her, but now he looked more than ten years older.

A face full of stubble, ragged clothes, a hunched body, chapped lips, dull eyes, and shriveled fingers...

Every place seems to be telling a story of a difficult past.

As for how Cui Xi knew that the person in front of her was Chu Ran, it was naturally because Qin Yue was also there.

Madam Qin and Mrs. Lu learned from their elder sister that Chu Ran would arrive in the capital in the afternoon, so they brought their people directly to the city gate and stood guard there in the name of distributing porridge.

In this way, as long as Qin Yue is at the scene, my sister will definitely tell the news of Chu Ran's arrival as soon as possible.

And Cui Xi appeared in front of Chu Ran in this way.

After being stunned for a moment, Chu Ran immediately lowered his head again.

At a glance, he recognized that the person in front of him was the younger sister he had been looking for for many years.

However, he was in such a state of desolation now that he didn't want his little sister to see him like this when they met again. It was really embarrassing for him.

He originally planned to find a cheap inn to freshen up after entering the city, and then visit the Qin family.

Unexpectedly, we met at the city gate.

And looking at my little sister's expression, could it be that she recognized him as well?

But didn’t the Lu family say that my younger sister doesn’t remember what happened in the past?

When Chu Ran was wondering, he heard a choked voice calling: "Brother... I'm Chu Xi... Are you here to take me home?"

This one sentence directly caused all of Chu Ran's psychological defenses to collapse.

With red eyes, he slowly raised his head, forced a smile with difficulty, and said with difficulty in his throat the words he had thought of a thousand times.

"Little sister...brother finally found you...brother is here to take you home!"

When Old Madam Qin and Mrs. Lu, who were not far away, saw this scene, they couldn't help but take out their handkerchiefs and kept wiping the tears from their faces.

Even the little kid Qin Yue had red eyes, tears were falling down in strings, and she was still crying to the system in her heart.

[Wow... After years of separation, the family finally reunited. It was so touching. Looking at Chu Ran's appearance, he must have suffered a lot over the years. It was really not easy... Wow... Damn the human traffickers! ]

The people who were receiving porridge around were already accustomed to hearing Qin Yue's voice, and they quickly guessed what was going on from her words.

Maybe the girl was abducted, and now her family has finally found her. Judging from the man's appearance, the process of finding her must be very difficult.

Alas...Xiao Fuguan is right, human traffickers really deserve to die!

However, it is a blessing to be able to find it. How many families in the world have been torn apart by human traffickers...

Among this group of people who received porridge, many children were abducted by human traffickers and their whereabouts are still unknown. The whole family has lost all their wealth and ended up in their current miserable situation.

As everyone sighed, they silently hoped in their hearts that those families who had lost their children could be as lucky as this girl and find their families and be reunited.

Chu Ran, who heard Qin Yue's voice for the first time, was still immersed in joy and completely ignored what he had just heard.

It was not until Cui Xi brought the people back to the Qin family and he heard two voices that were obviously not those of adults that he finally reacted.

The Qin family turned out to be that Qin family! It was the Qin family where Xiao Fuguan was!

Then the little baby lying in the cradle just a few meters away from him is the famous little Fuguan!

So the voices he heard were also those of Xiao Fuguan and his younger sister!

Oh my God!

Chu Ran's face was full of shock. After Cui Xi twisted his arm, he finally remembered that the emperor had ordered that Chu Ran was not allowed to reveal anything in front of the young official so that he could hear his thoughts.

Then, Chu Ran came back to his senses all of a sudden and suppressed the shock on his face.

At this moment, under the arrangement of the Qin family, he had washed and combed his hair again, shaved his beard, and put on appropriate clothes. He looked like a completely different person, not only much more energetic, but also a lot younger.

He was about to say something when he heard Cui Xi next to him kneel down with a plop.
