Chapter 138 There is news
Cao Rui said: "Every time I go to a post station, I will write to you to inform you of my next station location. If you have news of my wife, please send someone to inform me as soon as possible."

The prefect of Liyang said: "The third son has a deep affection for your wife, and it is really touching to find a wife from thousands of miles away!"

Cao Rui said: "I took the popularity away, I have to bring him back myself."

The prefect kindly asked Cao Rui to stay, so Cao Rui had to have dinner with Feng Er in the prefect's mansion before leaving.

This method is still very good. In the future, you can leave a picture of Jingran every time you pass through a county or county pavilion, so that you can inquire about Jingran's whereabouts.

However, Cao Rui's thinking was still too simple. The reason why the Liyang prefect gave him face was because the Liyang prefect was tactful and sophisticated. He had heard of the name of the third son of Linhai Princess House before, so it was convenient for him.

Although the other county magistrates and Likui are low-ranking officials, they may not give Cao Rui face. After all, Cao Rui is just a fifth-rank official without any real power.

Cao Rui left Liyang and headed south all the way. After driving for a while, the carriage was really thirsty, so he stopped at a tea shop by the roadside to drink a cup of tea before leaving.

Cao Rui and Feng'er were drinking tea, and the two people at the next table started chatting.

Passer-by A said: "The brothel with the best business in Yuzhou is probably the Qing Ge House. The madam of this Qing Ge House is really a businessman. Jing Ran can come up with such a way to attract customers."

Passer-by B said: "It's quite a lot. I'm not a person who likes to ask questions. Every time I'm in a bad mood, I go there to listen to a cross talk and drink some wine. It's fun."

Passer-by A said: "That's right. I used to only know that singing and dancing instruments can be performed. Who would have thought that a wisecrack can also be performed on stage."

Feng'er opened her cute eyes, gently tugged on Cao Rui's sleeve, and said, "Father, what is the Qingge Hall? What is cross talk?"

Cao Rui frowned and said, "It's not a good place, you don't need to know."

Passerby A said again: "I heard that the reason why the Qing Ge Pavilion was able to win such a surprise victory is because a strange woman came, who can also compose cross talk, and also has medical skills. It is said that the medical skills are very good, and can bring the dead back to life."

Passer-by B said: "Is it the girl who performed cross talk on stage before? She hasn't been on stage for a long time, and she always sits and eats melon seeds in the audience."

Cao Rui suddenly stood up, walked to the next table, and asked, "Brother, do you know the girl's name?"

Both shook their heads.

Cao Rui took out Jing Ran's portrait from the bag and asked, "Is it this girl?"

Passerby A said, "I just heard about it, but I have never been inside."

Passer-by B looked carefully and said, "It seems to be her, why do you have her portrait?"

Cao Rui asked: "May I ask where is the Qing Ge Hall?"

Passer-by B said: "It's just in Yingchuan County. It's a big brothel. You'll know it when you go there."

Cao Rui said, "Thank you, brother." Cao Rui turned to Feng'er and said, "Feng'er, let's go, we found your mother!"

With a big smile on her face, Feng'er jumped off the stool, happily jumped into the carriage, and said, "Father, let's go find Mother quickly!"

Cao Rui's heart was mixed with joy and sorrow. He was happy that he finally found a wife, but worried that his daughter-in-law was making a living in a brothel so she must not be bullied.

Along the way, the carriage ran so fast that Cao Rui wanted to grow wings and fly over, but Feng'er gritted her teeth and persisted although she was very tired.

However, it was getting dark gradually, and it was impossible to walk at night, and the horses also needed to rest, so they could only rest temporarily in the grove by the roadside, and wait for the dawn before driving.
