'Yunshu's Diary'?
Ji Yunshu wrote it?
Liu Qingping looked at the booklet in Wei Yi's hand and sighed, his face full of nostalgia.
"The words on that book were all written by Yunshu. In the past, there were a lot of words that she didn't recognize, so she wrote all the words that she didn't recognize in the book. There are a lot of words, but there are some that even I don't recognize."
His eyes reddened at the mention of Ji Yunshu.
Yunshu, oh Yunshu, when are you coming back?
He sighed again and wiped away the tears at the corner of his eyes with his sleeve, continuing to look for books for Wei Yi.
Wei Yi held Ji Yunshu's booklet and gently flipped it open.
The words on the first page were crooked, tall, short, fat, thin, and uneven. Some of the words were even twisted into a ball, making it hard to tell what they were.
The more he flipped, the neater the handwriting became.
The words on the last page were clean and elegant, just like Ji Yunshu herself.
This was definitely a perfect booklet for practicing calligraphy!
Actually, it was not strange. When Ji Yunshu first came here, she did not know how to write with a brush. She did not even recognize some of the words. It was already very good that she could practice until the end.
Wei Yi smiled and asked Liu Qingping, "This booklet.
Can you give it to me? "
"Of course. When Yunshu comes back from Yufu, you can return it to her."
He nodded and put the booklet into his chest pocket.
After the time it took to burn a stick of incense, Liu Qingping found all the books Wei Yi wanted.
However, the books were covered in dust. He patted them a few times.
Dust flew everywhere.
"Cough, cough …"
The two of them choked.
Liu Qingping laughed awkwardly and apologized, "Young Master Wei, please don't suggest it. These books have always been taken care of by Yunshu. She's not here, so …"
Hehe.
Wei Yi did not mind and carried all the books over.
"If it's possible, I'll come over and help you take care of them in the future." He volunteered.
"Won't that be troublesome, Young Master Wei?"
"It's not troublesome at all. I'm very happy to be able to read here."
"That's good. You can come over when you have time. The yamen is very quiet anyway. If you come, the yamen will be livelier."
With a little fool by his side, of course it would be fun.
Liu Qingping patted his arm again and said, "Take your time to read these books. If there's anything you don't understand, feel free to ask this official."
"Thank you, my lord. I'll take the book back first. I'll return it to you once I'm done reading it." Wei Yi was humble and courteous. He didn't have the slightest trace of his previous dull and inflexible appearance.
"There's no hurry. You can come back when you're done."
Wei Yi nodded. "Then I'll leave first. The tutor is still waiting for me."
"Take care, Young Master Wei."
Wei Yi carried the book and left.
Looking at that figure, Liu Qingping was also dumbfounded.
Scratching his head, he wondered if this person was really stupid or just pretending to be stupid!
After returning to the Wei Mansion from the yamen, Wei Yi went straight to his study. His tutor sat beside him, accompanying him the entire time.
If there was a word he did not know, he would ask. If there was something he did not understand, he would ask for guidance.
On the other hand, Wei Yi was a fast learner. Sometimes, the tutor would only explain halfway before he understood. He could also learn difficult words in one go. He could even write them with his eyes closed.
His tutor said that he was gifted by the heavens. In the future, he would be extraordinarily intelligent and extraordinary.
In short, he was a genius who had been born with great talent.
That night, he read until late into the night. His tutor was also dozing off on a nearby chair. A gust of wind blew in from the open window, causing him to shiver. Hugging the book in his hand, he got up and went to close the window.
However, just as he was about to close the window, a figure darted in from outside.
"Ugh!"
The black-clothed man covered his mouth with one hand.
Wei Yi's eyes widened. He struggled with all his might, causing the book in his hand to fall to the ground.
Following that, he was hit hard on the back of his head. He immediately fainted and was dragged out of the window. His arm scraped against a hole in the window, causing blood to flow out and onto the ground.
However, the commotion was not loud.
Even the tutor was not woken up by the commotion. He was still dozing off on a pear blossom chair.
After some time, Uncle Fu came in with a bowl of steaming hot noodles. He wanted to give his young master a midnight snack.
However, there was no sign of Wei Yi.
He only saw the book on the ground. His gaze moved to the window and saw the bloodstains on it.
"Clang!"
The bowl of noodles in his hand fell to the ground.
The tutor was startled awake. He muttered in a daze, "Do you not recognize any word? Which word … "
He even squinted his eyes.
Uncle Fu cried out in alarm, "Help! Young Master is in trouble!"
Not long after, the residence began to beat drums and gongs to search for Wei Yi.
He had searched the entire Wei Mansion, and all that was left was to dig three feet into the ground.
Uncle Fu quickly sent someone to report to the yamen. Liu Qingping rushed over with a group of yamen officials.
"What happened?"
"My young master is missing. There are bloodstains on the window. Milord, you must find my young master. If something happens to him, how am I going to explain it to Master and Madam?"
Liu Qingping brought his men into the study to check.
There were books on the floor.
Blood on the windowsill.
What?
Liu Qingping searched the room. The books that Wei Yi had borrowed from him were still on the table.
He pondered for a moment, then ordered someone to summon the tutor for questioning. "At that time, only you and Young Master Wei were in the room. Tell me, what happened?"
The teacher was over eighty years old and could barely keep his eyes open. He shook his head and said, "I don't know. Although only Young Master Wei and I were in the room at that time, I was resting on the chair and didn't see anything."
"Old Sir, don't hide anything! Otherwise, this official will not let you off lightly. "
A threat!
"Milord, I'm already so old. My body is already like this. How can I break the law?!" The tutor coughed.
Liu Qingping quickly patted his back. No matter what, this man was still a sage and a great scholar.
Naturally, he would not do anything that would harm others. It was not appropriate for him to be overbearing.
If this old man died in front of him, it would be a huge matter!
He quickly reached out to support the tutor. "Teacher, don't be agitated. This official is just asking you according to the rules. Please sit down first."
"Sigh …"
Uncle Fu stepped forward and asked, "Lord Liu, will my young master be alright?"
"This official is also very worried that something happened to Wei Yi. Don't worry, this Prince will order people to search for him." He immediately ordered, "Immediately seal the city gates and send people to search within the city. We must find Young Master Wei."
"Yes!"
The whole of Jinjiang City became busy overnight.
