Because she has not given up looking for her brother's whereabouts during this time, Qiu Yan also ordered her subordinates to draw out the relevant information about her brother and his appearance, and let them inquire everywhere.

Therefore, the people under them behind them deliberately handed over the letter to Ji Feifan in person.

When she opened the letter and looked at it, she was surprised to find that the person on the letter said that her brother was actually still in the Qiguang Mansion, but he had moved away from the previous residence because of some problems.

And the person who sent the letter was very considerate and wrote down all the clues about her brother that she could hear.

After reading it, Ji Feifan's cheeks flushed with excitement, and he hurriedly took the letter and ran to find Qiu Yan, and said with some stammering.

"Madame, Madame! This is the letter I just received about my brother, can I go look for it again? ”

"Really? That's good news, show me the letter first. ”

After speaking, after Qiu Yan took the letter from Ji Feifan's hand, he carefully read all the contents on it.

Then, he lightly clicked twice on the table, arranged for someone to take the most detailed map recently, pointed to one of the places where the small red dots were drawn, and said to Ji Feifan.

"Why does this place look familiar? It seems that I have been there before, but I can't remember it now. ”

"It's okay, madam, it's all in the Qiguang Mansion anyway, let's just inquire all the way over."

"Or, I'll go find it myself, as long as there is news from my brother, I'll come back and tell you immediately, how about it?" Ji Feifan said anxiously.

"No, how can I rest assured that you go out alone? In this case, you wait for me, I will go with you to take a look after I have processed the account book in my hand, maybe there will be good news in the past this time. ”

After saying that, Qiu Yan first asked Ji Feifan to sit down beside him, and asked her to help divide the most urgent account books now, and then began to quickly bow his head to review and check.

When Lu Chiye came in from outside, he watched the two of them busy and in full swing.

After a little questioning, I learned the news.

However, he also knew that the last time Qiu Yan and the others went to look for Ji Feifan's brother, there was an accident on the road, and he couldn't help but be a little worried.

After helping on the side and processing all the important ledgers, he took the initiative to mention.

"You two women just passed like this, and I don't feel at ease. In this way, I'll arrange two more guys to go together, let's go and have a look together, it's more convenient for more people. ”

"Don't bother, right? It's all in Qiguang Mansion, and there are a lot of people who know us, so there's no need to make such a big fuss, right? Qiu Yan was still a little surprised.

Lu Chiye is not usually the kind of person who likes to put on a show, why did it become like this this time?

"It is precisely because there are many people who know us, plus we do business, in fact, there are not many businesses who have enemies with us in private, and it is better to prevent problems before they happen."

"And it's in the middle of nowhere, so we can't keep an eye on it."

As he spoke, Lu Chiye pointed to the small red dot on the map and said seriously.

Qiu Yan thought for a while, and then agreed.

Then, after the group changed into light clothes, they took the two guys who acted as bodyguards behind them and walked towards the place, asking questions as they went.

However, when he finally appeared near the destination, looking at some familiar scenes nearby, Qiu Yan looked at Lu Chiye beside him with a thoughtful expression.

"Why do I think this place looks familiar? My sister seems to live here as well. ”

"I think too, but maybe it's a coincidence, right? It's okay, let's go over and ask first, maybe we can find her brother smoothly today. ”

Lu Chiye said, and a few people continued to walk towards the front with one foot deep and one foot shallow.

It wasn't until under the guidance of the nearby villagers that he finally found the house, and he was surprised to find that although Qiu Miaomiao, who had seen it before, did not appear in the house.

However, the last time Qiu Yan and the others came to look for Ji Feifan's brother together, the man they met on the road who looked a little down, and even almost stopped them, actually lived inside!

Now he was sitting on the steps next to the courtyard, holding a broken straw sandal in his hand, bowing his head and sewing and mending.

Suddenly seeing someone appear in the courtyard, the man was extremely impatient, and after looking at them from a distance, he lowered his head and said irritably.

"Where did you come from, where do you go back, I don't welcome any guests here, get out of here! Don't disturb Lao Tzu's tranquility! ”

"We're here looking for someone." Hearing what this man said, Lu Chiye stepped forward calmly and showed him the portrait in his hand.

However, Ji Feifan quietly rang the bell next to him for a long time, but the more he looked at it, the more familiar he felt, and he felt that this person was gradually overlapping with the figure in the portrait.

Except that he is old and haggard and has lost a lot of weight, he is not much different from the brother in her impression.

After hesitating for a moment, he boldly stepped forward and took the initiative to ask him.

"Have you ever heard of Ji Zhai? I heard that he was a Xiucai before, I am his sister, I see that you are very good-looking, can you tell me, have you seen him before? ”

Hearing the name that had not been mentioned for a long time, the man who was extremely depressed just now seemed to be stunned instantly.

Tightly grasping the straw sandals in his hand, he suddenly raised his head and looked at Ji Feifan with a serious face.

The more I looked, the more I felt that the person in front of me was very familiar.

Ji Feifan simply squatted down in front of him, and after the two of them exchanged things like and that, Ji Zhai couldn't help but burst into tears.

Thinking that his hands were dirty, he was embarrassed to touch the back of his sister's hand, so he could only turn his head awkwardly, his shoulders trembled slightly, and he said bitterly.

"It's all my fault, Feifei, before...... I made you suffer before. ”

"Brother, it's really you! We've seen you before, so why don't you recognize me! ”

Ji Feifan hugged Ji Zhai's shoulders and couldn't help crying.

The last time I saw him, I thought this person was quite familiar, but after a while, I realized that everything back then was right.

Years of searching finally came true at this moment, and the emotions could no longer be held back.

No matter how mature and calm they were in front of Qiu Yan before, now their emotions are completely revealed.

Qiu Yan turned her head a little sentimentally, and Lu Chiye hurriedly patted her on the shoulder and comforted her in a low voice.

"No matter what, it's a good thing that their brother and sister can recognize each other, don't be sad."

"I don't mean sad, I just think ...... It's so rare, after so many years, she can still find her brother, which is really a good thing. ”

Saying this, Qiu Yan's eyes turned red first.

The more Ji Zhai thought about it, the more he hated himself for being very incompetent back then

Holding Ji Feifan's arm, he chattered vigorously.

"It's all my fault, back then...... It would have been nice if I had a little more ability back then, so that you and I wouldn't have gone missing. ”

"Sister, it's all useless, don't blame me."

"Brother, what do I blame you for? I know what happened back then, and you couldn't help it, but now it's good to be able to find you, come, I'll introduce you. ”

As he spoke, Ji Feifan hurriedly wiped the corner of his eyes with a handkerchief, and wiped away all his tears.

walked up to Qiu Yan and the two of them, and introduced them a little embarrassed.

"Brother, let me tell you, this is the head and wife of my family, you should have heard of them. Before, they came to Qiguang Mansion to help with the construction, but now the business is all over Qiguang Mansion, and everyone should have heard of the names of the two of them. ”

"I know, I know, both of them are famous figures in Qiguang Mansion, and I have heard of them before. Just now I didn't know Taishan, and I offended the two, please forgive you. ”

As he spoke, Ji Zhai stood up and bowed respectfully in front of the two of them to apologize, looking quite polite.

Qiu Yan and the others didn't have the same knowledge as him, and after walking to the only table in the room and sitting down, Lu Chiye wiped the dust on the table before taking the initiative to speak.

"Ji Gongzi, in fact, Fei Fan has indeed been looking for you for a long time before, but I heard that you seem to have been admitted to Xiucai before, why are you still living here?"

"I heard that the county magistrate of Qiguang Mansion is also a person who cherishes talents, how can you say that you can mix up with an official and a half-position, right?"

"The head of the Lu family laughed." mentioned that he was admitted to Xiucai back then, Ji Zhai felt even more ashamed, and bowed his head in front of them.

"What the master of the Lu family said is indeed right, I was indeed admitted to Xiucai back then, but ...... But at that time, I was too young and frivolous, and I felt that with my own knowledge, it was too much of a loss to only pass the exam, so I ......"

"So I went to all my relatives and friends to borrow money, and after borrowing it, I planned to continue to go to higher places to take the exam, but when I went, I found that there were too many people who were more knowledgeable and capable of having connections than me."

"I ...... I spent all my coils, but there was no possibility of further progress, and it gradually became like this. ”

"It's okay, brother, as long as I find you, we can work hard together! You see, with the help of the head of the family and his wife, I am doing well. ”

"As long as our brothers and sisters work together, the days will definitely be easy to catch!"

Ji Feifan grabbed his arm tightly, his eyes full of encouragement.

Ji Zhai glanced at her distressedly, but he didn't expect that he still needed to ask his sister to help and encourage him now, he was so ashamed.

His eyes were red, he sniffed a little, and said embarrassedly.

"Now that I have fallen to such a deplorable state, I am also to blame, but ...... But in the future, I will find a way to change it, and I also know that my personality is problematic, and I usually don't like to talk to others. ”

As he spoke, he gradually fell silent.
