Mr. Xu ordered Xu Liang, "You go to the inn to invite Song Si over. The words are what I said in the morning. Remember, just invite him alone."

Xu Liang should have gone to the inn soon, met Song Si, and told him what Mr. Xu said.

Even if Xu Liang didn't come, Song Si would still visit Mr. Xu.

Hearing this, he asked him to wait.

After changing into a set of clothes, he spoke to Gu Yi and Song Wanyue, and followed Xu Liang to the Xu family.

As soon as he left, two yamen servants came to the inn and went straight to the shopkeeper, "Call down the student named Song Si in your store and go to the yamen to ask questions."

The yamen officers' voice was very loud. Not only did the students in the lobby hear it, but even the students in the room heard it, and they opened the door and came out to see it.

The shopkeeper didn't know what happened to Song Si in the West City. He was startled when he saw the yamen, hurried out from the counter, nodded and bowed, "Official, Mr. Song has just gone out, I wonder what you two are asking for him?"

"His little fight has caused someone to fight, so we will take him to ask."

The inn suddenly exploded.

Sweat broke out on the shopkeeper's forehead, he looked up at the upstairs, and after thinking for a while, he said, "Although he has gone out, his family is still upstairs. The official waits for a moment, I'll go up and ask."

"hurry up!"

The shopkeeper carried his clothes upstairs. Before he could walk two steps, Song Wanyue and Gu Yi came down. Song Wanyue sang, "My elder brother was invited by Mr. Xu. The two officials can go to the Xu family to find him."

There was a sudden burst of air sucking upstairs and downstairs.

All the students live here, so naturally I know who Mr. Xu is.

Some of them had visited Xu's house. Mr. Xu Da and Mr. Xu Er were welcomed. They had never even met Mr. Xu before. Now Song Si was invited by Mr. Xu, which was enough to show Mr. Xu's importance to Song Si.

The two yamen were also stunned. After living in the capital for a long time, they naturally knew who Mr. Xu was. They had the courage to go to the Xu family to get people, and even gave them ten courage.

He spoke again, his tone softened a little, "Do you know when will he come back?"

Song Wanyue shook her head, "I don't know."

The two yamen members looked at each other and raised their heads, "So, let him go to the yamen when he comes back."

"Two officials, I want to ask, it is obvious that the man could steal today, and he was so angry that he wanted to kill my elder brother. Even if my servant fought back, he would protect himself. The case is so clear, why did he ask my elder brother to go to the yamen?"

Two yamen members collected money and deliberately said it ambiguously after entering the inn, in order to make people misunderstand Song Si. Now Song Wanyue told the truth about the matter in a few words, and her face immediately felt a little embarrassed.

"What do you know? Even if you protect yourself, you can't kill people! Don't talk nonsense, wait for someone to come back and ask him to go to the yamen."

When the yamen left, the shopkeeper wiped the sweat from his forehead and walked up the stairs for two steps, "Miss Song, what's going on?"

His inn is already far away from the examination room. If it is reported that some students are fighting, they may not even live in a student in his inn in the future.

Song Wanyue clearly stated what happened in the morning. After hearing this, everyone sighed and felt that Song Si was also unlucky. She met such a vicious man. Fortunately, she was with the servant, otherwise she might have really lost her life.

The shopkeeper also breathed a sigh of relief and kindly suggested, "Miss Song, although your servant protects himself, if Mr. Song is really called to the yamen, it may damage his reputation. I think you might as well go to Xu's mansion and ask Mr. Song to invite Mr. Xu to come forward. With the face of the old man, even if someone makes a fuss about this matter in the future, he will be much more afraid."

He has been running an inn in Beijing for so many years and has heard of everything. At that time, a student was on the list and later he won the third place in the palace examination. He thought he had become successful since then, but was revealed by his fellow scientists that he had been to a place of elegance and fame and fortune by the emperor on the spot. He was not allowed to participate in the imperial examination for life. Song Sineng was valued by Mr. Xu, so his knowledge was naturally good. If he really entered the palace examination, someone might have used this matter to make a fuss.

"Thank you, the shopkeeper, we'll go right away."

...

"Old sir."

Song Si followed Xu Liang into the house and saluted Mr. Xu.

Mr. Xu specially changed his clothes to make himself look closer and his tone was kind as if he was treating his own grandson, "Come on, sit down."

Song Si went over and sat down calmly.

Mr. Xu's eyes fell on his face. No matter how he looked, he couldn't see his grandson's shadow. He thought that he might have followed his father and spoke kindly, "Do you still remember the last article you wrote."

"Students remember."

"Come out and listen."

Song Si recited the article without saying a word.

Mr. Xu nodded while listening. When he finished memorizing, he looked faintly excited. On that day, Song Si came over and he just mentioned it a little, but he didn't expect that he would learn from it and write such a good article.

"Just with your article, this time the test will be stable, and the next palace examination will be the top priority. If you can perform well, first-class will not be a problem."

"Sir, please give me some advice."

Looking at his modest look, Mr. Xu was so happy no matter how he looked at it, "This is natural. If you can enter the first class, it will be considered a glory for your dean. But before that, I have a private question to ask you."

"Sir, please tell me."

"You can be so outstanding, I believe that you cannot do without your parents' teachings. Can you tell me the name of your parents?"

Song Si replied truthfully, "My father Song Shu and mother Liu Cuilan are all authentic countrymen."

Liu Cuilan?

Mr. Xu's expectation cooled down after a while, but he still asked unwillingly, "They all grew up in the countryside?"

"yes."

Mr. Xu closed his eyes and relieved his emotions. The child in front of him was not Wan'er's. Where is his Wan'er? Is it really...

He didn't dare to think about it. Wan'er disappeared without warning. He personally went to the palace to ask the emperor to send the imperial guards and the soldiers of the Five City Military Command to turn the capital upside down, but he couldn't find it.

Everyone said that Wan'er had an unexpected encounter, but he didn't believe it. His Wan'er was so smart that even if she met a bad person, she would find a way to protect herself. How could she encounter an unexpected encounter? She must have encountered something forced, and she would definitely come back one day.

But now, the hope in his heart is shattered little by little. Nearly ten years have passed. If Wan'er were still alive, she would have been back long ago.

"Master, Miss Song is asking for a meeting outside the mansion."

Xu Liang's report rang at the door.
