After more than ten days of driving, the group finally arrived at the boundary of Yangzhou.

That Lord Lin went to the yamen to hand over affairs, while Shen Linxian followed Mrs. Jia into the back house of the Imperial History Mansion.

The previous salt patrol Yushi made a mistake, and the people have been escorted to the capital, and I heard that the autumn queen will be beheaded, and the queen's family members have also been sold, and the imperial history of the palace has been made very messy because of the raid.

Although before Lord Lin took office, there were also people from the yamen who helped sort it out, but for the noble-born Mrs. Jia, it was really chaotic and shabby.

Mrs. Jia took someone to clean the back house thoroughly, placed the luggage everywhere, and took the furnishings to put her bedroom in order, and then there was Lord Lin's study, those books were all put by Mrs. Jia with her own hands.

By the time Mrs. Jia had settled the back house, it was already three days later.

She was so tired that she leaned on the couch, and asked Mama Cao while asking a little girl to take the beauty hammer and hammer her legs: "What about the little girl you saved?" Do you understand? ”

Mama Cao laughed: "Madam, that little girl's surname is Shen, but where is the family, who are the parents, she really doesn't know, the child is still young, and she was frightened again, the whole person was confused, I just cried and shook her head when I asked her, saying that I couldn't remember, and then said that I only vaguely remembered my father's surname Shen, and I remembered that my father taught her to read and write, and I don't remember it anymore." ”

After hearing this, Mrs. Jia sighed: "It seems that she is the daughter of a good family, but I am afraid that her father is still a learned person." ”

"Isn't it?" Mama Cao took out a piece of paper from her sleeve and handed it to Mrs. Jia: "This is the handwriting I asked the child to write, Mrs. take a look." ”

Mrs. Jia didn't take it seriously, but she took the paper and looked at it and sat up.

Her hands trembling a little while holding the paper, and her whole face was pale.

She said to Mama Cao: "You go, go and see if the master is back, if the master comes back, tell him that I have something to discuss with him here." ”

Mama Cao immediately went out and ordered the little girl, and when she came back, she looked at Mrs. Jia puzzled: "Madam, is there anything wrong with this little girl?" ”

Mrs. Jia shook her head: "Mama, I'm afraid that the origin of this little girl is not simple." ”

Belch?

Mama Cao still doesn't quite understand.

Mrs. Jia sighed: "A four- or five-year-old child, still a girl, can write such a handwriting...... It can be seen that her father must have a university education, but he is afraid that her family is a ...... It's not right, if it's really a wealthy gentleman or a scholarly family, it shouldn't be so difficult, Mama, do you think this child will be from a middle-of-the-road family? ”

Mama Cao is not very literate, so she can't see how good it is, and she doesn't understand how good Shen Linxian's handwriting is.

However, Mrs. Jia has been learning piano, chess, calligraphy and painting since she was a child, and she is very talented and accomplished, so she can naturally see the beauty of that handwriting.

"She is still young and her pen power is not enough, but she has the style and bones of words." Mrs. Jia sighed again: "I don't know what kind of background she is." ”

While he was talking, Lord Lin came in with the curtain open.

Mrs. Jia hurriedly got up, took the cloak on Lord Lin's body, put it away, and handed the word to Lord Lin to read.

Lord Lin only felt a toothache when he saw it: "What does Madame think?" ”

Mrs. Jia smiled: "I thought that our family would have to buy some people, since I saved this child, let her live in our house first, first, to take care of her body, and secondly, to ask someone to teach her some work, learn the height of her eyebrows, and she can also call one or two in front of me in the future, but she is literate, and if she wants to come from a background like that, I have no idea." ”

Lord Lin also felt embarrassed, and thought for a while and said: "I think this kid is a clever person, and if she can escape her life in the hands of a few big men when she is hungry like that, she must have a very good idea, so it is better to ask her to come over and ask carefully." ”

Mrs. Jia nodded and called a girl: "Bai Xing, you go and call Shen girl, and say that I want to see her." ”

Bai Xing responded with a smile and went out with the curtain.

At this time, Shen Linxian had just been meditating in the house for a while, when she heard movement outside the door, she immediately jumped off the bed, she opened the door and saw Bai Xing standing next to Mrs. Jia standing at the door, Shen Linxian hurriedly smiled and asked, "Sister Bai Xing, is there something wrong?" ”

During this time, Shen Linxian followed Mrs. Jia to eat well and rest well, but she grew a lot of meat, and she was very cute.

She has a round face, big eyes, and two dimples when she laughs.

Bai Xing pinched Shen Linxian's round face and said with a smile: "Mrs. asked you to come over." ”

"Sister, wait a minute, I'll clean up." Shen Linxian invited Bai Xing into the house, she stepped on a small stool and took a comb from the table, carefully combed a thin hair, and dragged her clothes, then smiled: "Sister Bai Xing, let's go." ”

The two of them followed the verandah one after the other to the front of Mrs. Jia's house.

Bai Xing bowed outside and said, "Madam, Miss Shen is here." ”

"Come in." Inside the room, that gentle voice rang out.

Mama Cao opened the curtain, and Bai Xing pulled Shen Linxian into the house.

As soon as Shen Linxian entered the house, he looked at Mrs. Jia with a pair of round and big eyes: "Mrs. called me?" ”

Mrs. Jia smiled and beckoned to Shen Linxian, who took a few steps over and looked up at Mrs. Jia with a look of deference and gratitude.

Mrs. Jia was in a good mood when she asked her to see it, and couldn't help but smile and pinch her little face: "My lord and I called you here to ask you what your plans are in the future?" ”

When Shen Linxian heard this, she frowned, she thought carefully for a long time, and then knelt down and said to Mrs. Jia: "Madam, my family is in trouble, and my parents and relatives don't know where they are now, let alone whether they are alive or not, I don't remember much, and I don't even know my father's name, I'm afraid that I won't be able to see him in this life." ”

Speaking of this, she bowed her head sadly.

Mrs. Jia was also a little sorry for her, and couldn't help but pull her up: "Good boy, don't cry." ”

Shen Linxian snorted twice before saying: "I was saved by my wife, I only follow my wife in this life, and I have no other strengths, but I also have a lot of strength, so I want to stay and serve the old lady." ”

Mrs. Jia looked at Lord Lin.

Lord Lin nodded: "Okay, since you want to stay, you can stay." ”

Shen Linxian immediately burst into tears and smiled, and thanked Master Lin gratefully: "Thank you, master." ”

Seeing her well-behaved thanks, the whole person is so cute, and Lord Lin's heart is also soft, thinking about it, he is in his thirties and has no son and half a daughter, if so, if he and his wife have children after they get married, I am afraid that they are older and more beautiful than Shen Yatou......

Thinking about it like this, he was a little sad.

Lord Lin touched his beard: "It's just that you don't remember your parents and relatives, I look at your words and deeds and the words you write, you should be from a good family, we can't rely on the grace of saving your life to ask you to sell yourself, so let's do it, you live in the house first, and then in a few years when you are older, just sign a contract, you work in the house to earn money, and when you find your relatives, if you are willing to go back, we will naturally let you go back, do not sign the deed of sale, you are not insulting your relatives." ”

Shen Linxian was overjoyed after hearing this, and became more and more grateful to Lord Lin: "My lord said so, so be it." ”
