Another World's Imperial Examination Official Path

"There's no such thing, it's really such a reason!"

Chu Lianqing left the Chu family some distance away, and after making sure that the people inside couldn't hear him, he yelled angrily, "I'm his biological father! How dare this scoundrel treat me like this!"

He had already put down his figure like this, begged so hard, and almost knelt in front of Chu Zhuang and kowtowed to admit his mistake.

In the end, Chu Zhuang still treated him honestly, and even threatened Bai Wanting to force him to leave.

"master……"

Chu Nan saw that Chu Lianqing's eye sockets were red with anger, and quickly patted him on the back to comfort him, "There has been so many years of estrangement between Master Zhuang and you, and you suddenly came to the door, and Master Zhuang didn't believe it." normal."

Long before, Chu Nan had expected that Chu Zhuang would not forgive Chu Lianqing easily.

What he thought was that if Chu Lianqing came to the door more times, Chu Zhuang would be soft-hearted when he was young, so maybe he would forgive Chu Lianqing.

But from the way Chu Lianqing fled in fright, it was obvious that he didn't dare to go to Chu Zhuang again.

"What, you mean, is it possible that I have to come to him every day to apologize to him?!" Chu Lianqing looked at Chu Nan and roared angrily.

"This... the master's servant doesn't mean that..."

Chu Nan knew that Chu Lianqing was angry, so he didn't dare to persuade him anymore.

"This scoundrel, I'm mad at me, mad at me, ahem..."

Chu Lianqing was so angry that his chest hurt, and he couldn't help coughing violently.

"Master! Are you all right!"

Seeing Chu Lianqing coughing and rolling his eyes, Chu Nan felt anxious, and quickly asked someone to push Chu Lianqing into the medicine hall beside him.

……

In the evening, after Chu Zhuang taught Guo Wen and the others as usual, they asked Guo Wen and Guo Wu to stay.

"Brother Chu, what's the matter?"

Guo Wen and Guo Wu looked at each other and asked curiously.

"Sit down, I have something to tell you."

Chu Zhuang nodded slightly, and then took out the paper that Zheng Xi gave him today from his bosom.

"This is the Guo family in Yongren Lane and Yongli Lane."

Chu Zhuang handed them the paper, and explained: "The other places have already been inquired about, but there is no news about your parents, and there are only these last two places left in the entire Dongfeng Mansion."

"This……"

Guo Wen took it, and together with Guo Wu, counted the people on the paper.

23 families.

If their parents are not found here, then their original wish may come to nothing.

"Miss Ming and Brother Mengxi are going to take the last trip in person. Do you want to listen to the news at home, or go with us?" Chu Zhuang asked while looking at them.

Guo Wu was full of anticipation and fear in his heart, he wanted to follow, so that he could see his parents as soon as he found them.

But at the same time, he was afraid that this trip would be in vain, that they would not find the person they were looking for.

"Brother." Guo Wu looked at Guo Wen, wanting to wait for him to make a decision.

Guo Wen has always acted decisively, but he also hesitated once.

Obviously he also has the same mood as Guo Wu.

"Brother Chu, Brother Mengxi, can we think about it? I'll give you an answer tomorrow morning." Guo Wen thought for a while and said.

"Of course." Chu Zhuang nodded in agreement.

Yunmengxi sent Guo Wen and Guo Wu, who were full of worries, out of the room.

Seeing their backs returning to the room, Yunmengxi sighed, turned to look at Chu Zhuang and asked, "Chu Zhuang, do you think they will follow?"

"I don't know either." Chu Zhuang shook his head slightly, he was really not sure about this matter.

"Don't worry, no matter what decision they make and what the outcome will be, at least we will be by their side, won't we?" Chu Zhuang walked over and took Yunmengxi's hand to comfort him.

He also knew that Yunmengxi had been worrying about Guo Wen and the others today.

For this matter, Chu Zhuang is much more open-minded.

"En." Yun Mengxi hugged Chu Zhuang's waist, leaned on his shoulder and nodded slightly.

Early the next morning, Chuzhuang and Yunmengxi got up, as did the little ones at home.

"Today, we won't go to school today." Guo Wen looked at Bai Xuan and the others and said.

After a night of deliberation, Guo Wen and the others finally decided to go with Chuzhuang.

"Huh? Why?" Bai Xuan, Xiao Ye and others looked at Guo Wen in bewilderment.

"Today I have something to do with taking Guo Wen and Guo Wu out, so I will leave the school to you." Chu Zhuang came over and explained to them.

Everything in the school is on the right track. If Guo Wen and Guo Wu don't go by for a day, it won't have a big impact.

"Ok!"

Bai Xuan and the others didn't get to the bottom of the question, they responded confidently and went out to school.

"Let's go too."

Several people in Chuzhuang had breakfast at home and then set off in a carriage.

Yongyi Lane and Yongli Lane are adjacent, and Chu Zhuang decided to start searching from inside Yongli Lane.

"Excuse me, may I ask if there were any children lost in your house five years ago?"

"No, my young master is doing well in the mansion!"

"sorry for disturbance."

……

Chuzhuang and Yunmengxi knocked on the door one by one to inquire.

The servants of these high-ranking and wealthy families have also cultivated a pair of piercing eyes on weekdays.

Chuzhuang and Yunmengxi were dressed luxuriously and had extraordinary auras, so they told most of their inquiries.

Even if there were some who didn't want to say anything, Yunmengxi finally gave it away with a little tip. After all, this is not confidential news.

Of course, this was the result of Chu Zhuang and Yunmengxi's in-person inquiries. If Zheng Xi and He Dafang were to ask, they would probably be thrown out by these people as soon as they opened their mouths.

It's no wonder that Zheng Xi and the others didn't dare to come to ask, but handed the list to Chu Zhuang.

I ran to ten households in one morning, but there was no result.

There are only thirteen households left, and the chances will get smaller the further you go.

Chu Zhuang and the others didn't waste any time, they simply had lunch in the carriage and continued.

"Five years ago? This little one doesn't know!"

The doorman scratched his head and said apologetically, "The young one entered the mansion four years ago, so I don't know much about the previous affairs in the mansion."

"Four years ago, this, is it convenient to visit the master's house?"

Chu Zhuang handed over the name card, and it would be best if he could ask the servants about the situation.

But if it is not possible, then Chu Zhuang can only visit the host's house and ask in person.

"The master is not in the mansion at this time, only the madam is in the mansion, the younger one is going to report to the madam."

The door boy took the famous card from Chuzhuang and went in to report it.

"Only the wife in the back house is here, so it should be impossible to come out to see us." Yunmengxi said after thinking about it.

Under normal circumstances, the women in the inner house will not come out to meet the outsider on their own initiative.

"No, just give us an answer." Chu Zhuang looked at Yunmengxi and explained.

Chu Zhuang's name is still useful. He handed over a name card to ask, and even if the other party didn't see him, they would at least give him an answer.

Yunmengxi nodded slightly, and waited patiently with Chuzhuang.

Guo Wen and Guo Wu sat on the carriage holding hands, looking nervously at the gate of the mansion in front of them.

"Brother, do you think this stone lion looks familiar?"

Guo Wen looked at the stone lion at the door, and the more he looked at it, the more familiar it became, as if he had seen it before.

"There are such stone lions at the door of many people's houses! We have seen a lot today!"

Guo Wu glanced at it, but he didn't feel familiar, so he said carelessly.

Yongren Alley is basically full of officials and eunuchs, and there are stone lions at the door, but the size and style are different.

Guo Wen glanced at the stone lion, pursed his lips, and nodded hesitantly.

"Brother, do you think this will be our former home?" Guo Wu looked at the tall mansion gate, blinked his eyes, and asked nervously.

He has seen such a family, and the servants inside are very fierce.

If this is really their home, he is a little scared.

"I don't know." Seeing that Guo Wen was uneasy, Guo Wen stretched out his hand to wrap Guo Wu's shoulder.

"Brother, we are actually pretty good at school." Guo Wu looked at Guo Wen and said.

He retreated a little, and suddenly didn't want to find his parents.

Guo Wu was less than four years old when he was kidnapped, and now five years later, he has no memory of the past.

When he was wandering before, Guo Wen gave him protection and a sense of security, and later he met Chu Zhuang, so he actually doesn't have as much obsession with his parents as Guo Wen.

Everything in life is now on the right track. He also likes to live with everyone at school. If he leaves school and goes to a strange home, he will be a little reluctant.

"Of course the school will be fine, don't worry, even if we find our parents, we will not leave the school, but we should also do our filial piety in front of them." Guo Wen touched the top of Guo Wu's hair and said.

Guo Wen has a deep affection for the school. Although he wanted to find his parents, he never thought that he would leave the school because of this.

It's just that he really wanted to see the mother who would gently coax him in his hazy memory, and he also wanted to see what his biological father looked like, and then do his filial piety in front of them.

When Guo Wu heard Guo Wen say that he would not leave the school, he immediately breathed a sigh of relief, and said with a smile, "I listen to my brother."

The back residence of the Guo Mansion.

"Ma'am, there is a Mr. Chu outside the door who handed over a name card and wants to inquire about something." The doorman reported from outside the door.

Caixiang came out, took the name card from the doorman's hand, and turned back into the house.

"Madam, name card." Cai Xiang handed the name card to Shi Yinglan.

"Chuzhuang? Why does this name sound so familiar?"

Shi Yinglan looked at the name on the name card and said thoughtfully.

"Ma'am, this year's No. [-] Scholar is called Chu Zhuang." Caixiang reminded.

"It's the number one scholar!"

Shi Yinglan's eyes lit up, her attitude was much more cautious than before, and she took the initiative to ask, "Why did he come to the house to inquire?"

The doorman bowed at the door and said, "This young master wants to find out if two children were lost in the mansion five years ago."

"what?!"

When Shi Yinglan heard this, her eyes widened and she exclaimed.
