Aunt Zhao said goodbye to Mama Li and returned to the back office of Kaifeng Mansion, passing through the garden, she saw Mr. Gongsun and Zhang Long Zhao Hu Dynasty Ma Han sitting together eating melon seeds and chatting, and immediately greeted the five people happily.

"Aunt Zhao, where did you come from?" asked Zhang Long casually.
Aunt Zhao replied with a smile: "There is a new family on the street behind our mansion, and I will send them some food." ”
Zhao Hu asked, "What kind of person is the new neighbor?"
As soon as Aunt Zhao heard the questioning, she hurriedly walked over and shared gossip with the five people: "The identity of this newcomer is not ordinary, she is the eldest daughter of Master Zeng, the general doctor, and the wife of the nephew of Master Pang. ”
Wang Chao was surprised: "The wife of Taishi Pang's nephew, why did she move next to our Kaifeng Mansion? There won't be any conspiracy, right?"
You must know that the houses next to the Kaifeng Mansion are all small courtyards and small houses where civilians live, and that Mrs. Pang is a noble lady, who is delicate and expensive, but she does not live in a big mansion and lives in a small courtyard, saying that there is no conspiracy, they don't believe it.
"What's the conspiracy?" Aunt Zhao explained to them, "This Mrs. Pang, ah, Miss Zeng is very pitiful. She was originally the wife of her father-in-law Ming Media, but her father-in-law preferred the concubine made by her sister-in-law. That sister-in-law was vicious in her heart, not only robbed her sister's husband, but also wanted her sister's position in the main room, so she secretly framed Miss Zeng many times. Miss Zeng was disappointed in her husband, and after finding out the evidence, she directly proposed reconciliation. And because of the relationship between face and face, Zeng was unwilling to accept the daughter who left him to go home. Miss Zeng could only ask someone to rent a yard near us. Poor thing, Miss Zeng's dowry was robbed of a lot by that sister-in-law, and she didn't have the money to rent a better house. ”
After hearing this, the other five people were also very sympathetic to Lin Bairu's plight, and after hearing that Aunt Zhao invited Zhang Long, Zhao Hu and others to attend the housewarming banquet on behalf of Mama Li, the four of them said that they would definitely go.
After Lord Bao returned from the court, Mr. Gongsun told Lord Bao about his new neighbor.
Master Bao sighed: "In the future, let Zhang Long, Zhao Hu and them take more care of Miss Zeng and them." ”
Mr. Gongsun asked, "Did you hear about Miss Zeng in the court?"
Master Bao nodded and said: "What happened to this Miss Zeng is really pitiful, her mother was killed by her aunt, her own brother was abandoned, and her father and the person she married favored that aunt's daughter. Over the years, Miss Zeng has had a really difficult life. It wasn't until yesterday that the crimes of the aunt and the mother and daughter were revealed, and Miss Zeng walked out of the quagmire. ”
Mr. Gongsun raised his eyebrows: "This Miss Zeng has some means. ”
Bao Dadao: "You misunderstood. Zeng's mansion was haunted yesterday, and it was all resentful ghosts who came to seek revenge on the aunt, and the aunt's crime was exposed. However, Miss Zeng does have some ability to find out that her aunt's daughter framed her. ”
Who said that men don't gossip, the officials of the Great Song Dynasty are all gossiping, even Lord Bao is no exception. The affairs of the Zeng family have been spread in the early dynasty, and the descendants of the Zeng family do not have the consciousness of keeping secrets for the master, and the Zeng adults thought that the eldest daughter was embarrassed when she left with her son-in-law, but he didn't know that these things that happened in his family were passed on to make him greatly embarrassed.
After the housewarming banquet, Lin Baiyu lived peacefully on the edge of Kaifeng Mansion. After everything was settled, Lin Baiyu took Mama Li to the Salesian Bureau to find clues about her younger brother. The Salesian Bureau was a charitable institution for the adoption of abandoned babies in the Song Dynasty, both funded by the imperial court and privately run. Later, because the master's family wanted to leave the capital, the Salesian Bureau was closed, and the younger children were sent to other Salesian Bureaus, and some assertive children were unwilling to enter the Salesian Bureau again, so they went to be apprentices, and even some children left the capital, so that the clues to find the great-brother were almost broken.
Zeng also sent people to look for his son, and after knowing that the clue was broken, he was sad for many days and had to give up the search. Lin Baiyu didn't give up, the clue was broken, and she could find it in another way. Lin Baiyu asked Mama Li to help her buy back the compass, yellow table paper, cinnabar, rooster and incense sticks about a foot long.
Mama Li was puzzled and asked, "Miss, what do you want these things for?" These are Taoist priests' things, what's the use of retrieving the little master?"
Lin Baiyu's cultivation over the years has not been hidden from Mama Li, she asked, "Mama Li, do you know that I have been cultivating all these years?"
Mama Li nodded: "Miss, are you favored by the masters?"
"Not bad. I met a master and passed on my Taoist cultivation skills, and now I have a small success. Although you can't soar to become an immortal, you can use the Dao method to find people. ”
It turns out that her own young lady is so powerful unconsciously! Mama Li was surprised and puzzled, sighed and delighted, all kinds of emotions flew by, and in the end, only happiness remained: "Then, then we can find the little master soon." ”
"Of course. Lin Baiyu replied.
Mama Li was even more happy, and suddenly remembered a question, lowered her voice, and asked in a low voice: "Little, miss, on the day of the master's birthday banquet, Aunt Zhang was found by a ghost to take revenge......
Lin Baiyu smiled slightly: "The Buddha said, don't say it." ”
Mama Li hurriedly covered her mouth, and said angrily: "Miss, don't worry, the old slave won't tell the third person about this matter." ”
Lin Baiyu smiled: "I believe in Mama." ”
Mama Li put down her hands and asked, "Miss, when will we start looking for the little master?" ”
"That's it. Lin Baiyu looked up at the sky and instructed Mama Li, "Mama, you mix the cockscomb blood with cinnabar, bring it to me, I want to draw a talisman." ”
"Yes. Mama Li hurriedly followed Lin Baiyu's instructions to prepare the paint for the talisman.
Lin Baiyu lifted the brush, carefully concentrated, and quickly drew three charms. She wrapped three talismans around three incense sticks, and tore off three of her own long hairs, each tied to a stick in the center, tying a total of ten hair knots. Holding the incense stick, Lin Baiyu mobilized the true element in her body, lit the incense stick, put it above the compass, and let go of her hands. The three incense sticks were suspended above the compass, but they didn't fall, which made Mama Li's eyes widen.
Lin Baiyu took three steps back, knelt on the ground, and kowtowed to the three incense sticks on the compass. Kneeling three times and knocking nine times, the white smoke on the three incense sticks suddenly condensed into a bunch, and the pointer in the compass also rotated rapidly. The pointer stops, and the direction is the same as the direction in which the cigarette floats, which is northwest. Look at the incense stick in the middle, the hair knot on it is five shorter.
Lin Baiyu stood up and said, "Five hundred miles to the northwest, Mama, do you know where it is?"
Mama Li didn't dare to take a breath when Lin Baiyu was doing something, and when she heard Lin Baiyu ask, Fang said: "The old slave doesn't know, but the old slave can ask Captain Zhang and Captain Zhao, they have been to many places with Master Bao, and they should be able to know where it is." ”
"Then please Mama, when you ask clearly, we will set off to find my brother. ”
Mama Li stepped out of the house: "I'll ask Captain Zhang immediately." ”
Lin Baiyu hurriedly grabbed her: "Mama, it's getting late, Captain Zhang should have rested, let's ask again tomorrow." ”
Mama Li looked at the moon in the night sky outside and stopped: "In this way, the old slave will go to Kaifeng Mansion early tomorrow morning to find Captain Zhang." ”
Early the next morning, Mama Li really went to find Zhang Long and Zhao Hu early in the morning, got the specific address from the two of them, and came back to Lin Baiyu. Lin Baiyu arranged for Mama Li to stay at home, and took a maid and a servant who drove the car to set off to find her younger brother. Mama Li originally wanted to go with Lin Baiyu, but she was old and had a bumpy road, so she was afraid that she would be a burden to Lin Baiyu, so she had to stay according to Lin Baiyu's instructions.
There is no need to show the hard work all the way, Lin Baiyu and the three of them spent eight days to come to the town that Zhang Long said. This town is not big, but there is a very large Zhuangzi, called Bawangzhuang, and the people in it are all some people in the rivers and lakes, who act recklessly, bullying the common people, and making the local people dare not speak out.
Fortunately, Lin Baiyu changed into men's clothes when she came to the town, otherwise there are a lot of people in the Bawangzhuang, and when they see a woman with a little posture, they will snatch it back to the village to enjoy themselves, and Lin Baiyu will be in danger. Although she is strong now, her two fists are hard to beat with four hands, and she has two ordinary people by her side, and she is definitely not the opponent of Bawangzhuang. And if she offends the people of Bawangzhuang, how can she find her younger brother with peace of mind?
Lin Baiyu knew the characteristics of her brother's birthmark from Chunlan, and spent money to write hundreds of missing person notices before she came, and posted them everywhere after coming to the town, thinking that if her brother saw it, he would come to her door to find her. Sure enough, after Lin Baiyu stayed in the town for three days, a teenager came to the door.
The boy was sixteen or seventeen years old, and he was quite handsome, and his eyebrows and eyes were very similar to the original. As soon as Lin Baiyu saw him, he concluded that this young man was the younger brother of the original body.
"Are you really my relatives?" the boy asked, half-convinced, his eyes full of anticipation. He has no father or mother since he was a child, and he is an orphan, but he is quite looking forward to family affection. Even now that he has a master and a father-in-law, his desire for family affection has not diminished. When he saw a notice on the street looking for his younger brother, the child wanted to come to see Lin Baiyu. However, he was persuaded by the master and secretly observed Lin Baiyu and his party for two days before he came to the door.
Lin Baiyu had long noticed that someone was secretly observing them, but she didn't expose it, and waited patiently, and sure enough, the people who observed them took the initiative to show up after confirming that they were not swindling.
"If you're seventeen and you have a red flower birthmark on your back, that's my brother. Lin Baiyu said.
The young man immediately unbuttoned his clothes and took them off, exposing his back to Lin Baiyu. Sure enough, there was a flower-shaped birthmark the size of a thumb cap in the center of the vest.
"Brother. Lin Baiyu screamed and hugged the young man.
The young man's face turned red all of a sudden, and he shouted, "You, you let go of me first, I, I want to get dressed!"
