Out of the city gate, all the way to the south, over the mountains, through the rivers, through the cold wind and biting winter, through the gentle and drizzly spring day, Shi Lan walked all the way, and it took more than half a year to come to this capital city that was newly established by the Han people as the highest status.

Standing in this place, where it is said to be inhabited by the supreme ruler of the dynasty, Shi Lan sighed slightly, and after leaving the realm of the barbarians, she knew that the surname of the Dayu Dynasty was actually Shi.

Shi Lan still remembered her first reaction when she heard the news, she actually thought that she might be one of the princesses, but then she laughed self-deprecatingly.

The princess is a golden branch and jade leaf, and she is a person who is held in the palm of her hand to care for her, even if the heart of the southern tour is fluctuating, but the majesty of the royal family will not be damaged, and the princess's dignity will not be reduced.

The premise that Chang can change the baby is that there is no one in the house, so the idea of the princess was ignored by her as soon as it appeared in her mind.

What's more, she also believes that Chang will not even be mistaken about where her daughter is.

Following the flow of people, Shi Lan staggered all the way into this crowded and very lively capital.

At this time, it was nearly noon, and the smell wafted from the shops on the street, Shi Lan swallowed her saliva and looked away with difficulty.

Along the way, Shi Lan had already spent all the money, and now the only valuable thing in her hand was the hairpin and the dilapidated belly pocket that she took from Chang's hand at that time, but it was a token she was looking for, even if she starved to death, she couldn't sell it.

A few children walked by in the distance, Shi Lan stared at the hemp candy in their hands for a while, the thought that quickly turned in her mind made her a little ashamed, she turned her head, pinched herself hard, and came to a store that recruited men.

"Shopkeeper, recruit guys here?"

The shopkeeper inside was settling accounts behind the counter, and when he saw the unkempt Shi Lan, he frowned, but he still nodded and said yes.

Looking at the shopkeeper's face full of disgust, Shi Lan's old face couldn't help but blush.

In the more than half a year of fleeing, she didn't wash her face or comb her hair once for safety.

"Shopkeeper, do you think I can do it?"

Knowing that he didn't look good now, Shi Lan didn't mind the attitude of the shopkeeper, and asked with a raised neck.

The shopkeeper replied without raising his head: "Six hundred clerks per month, including food and lodging, no leave, no New Year's Festival, so you can do it too?" ”

Shi Lan quickly calculated, now a vegetarian bun costs ten yuan, she can eat three buns a meal, six a day, she works for a month is enough for her to eat ten days of buns, this salary is too low.

The shopkeeper's crackling abacus didn't pay attention to Shi Lan at all.

Shi Lan covered her stomach, suppressed the constant grunt, gritted her teeth and said, "Shopkeeper, I did it." ”

The young shopkeeper raised his head and looked at her, "Xiaolang has thought about it?" ”

Shi Lan puffed out his eyes and looked at him, "You said that you should eat and live, but you are full?" ”

The shopkeeper nodded, "Naturally, it's full." ”

Shi Lan breathed a sigh of relief and said, "I've thought about it, and I asked the shopkeeper to let me wash, and I'll go to work later." ”

The shopkeeper nodded, led Shi Lan to the house at the back, pointed out the water draw to her, and returned to the front.

Shi Lan fetched water, hastily wiped his body to clean up his head and face, and came to the shopkeeper.

The shopkeeper looked at the red-lipped and white-toothed boy in front of him in surprise, and was stunned for a while before pointing to the books on display and said, "Go and tidy up the things, and get some water to clean up the shelves." ”

Shi Lan smiled and groaned in response, and ran happily to clean up.

The shopkeeper watched her shuttle between the pen and ink, touched her nose, and looked at Shi Lan with twinkling eyes.

At this time, although Shi Lan was still in tattered clothes, no matter his appearance or demeanor and temperament, he was very different from Fang Cai, and Chu Liulang, the shopkeeper of this study, was in a panic in his heart, and always felt that his subordinate did not know whether it was good or bad.

It's just that the man is not good at directors, and at this time he urgently needs a job that can clean the house, so he can't take care of it much.

And Shi Lan's current thoughts are just to have food to eat, a place to live, and it would be best if she could take the time to inquire about the location of the Pan family, as for the others, she didn't think about it, and she didn't have the time to think about it, her goal was very clear, to complete the task as soon as possible, and to get the stones together a day earlier, so that she could leave this life of shuttling around the world all day as soon as possible.

Chu Liulang had a pair of abacus beads, and his eyes glanced at the shelf from time to time.

Shi Lan dusted off the dust unconsciously, wiped the bookshelves, and waited until the house was cleaned up before she turned her head and looked at Chu Liulang with sparkling eyes.

"The shopkeeper is done."

Chu Liulang nodded and pointed to the back, "I remember that there are still a few cooking cakes left in the morning, if you want to be hungry, go eat them." ”

Shi Lan agreed crisply, her big eyes narrowed into a line.

knew that he was working so hard, and he, a dumb-faced guy, must be embarrassed not to let himself eat.

trotted all the way to the kitchen, Shi Lan grabbed the white-flour steamed buns that she had coveted for a long time, and took a big bite when she went up, and the aroma of rice made her giggle happily.

Chu Liulang, who was standing by the door, suddenly laughed when he saw such a Shi Lan, feeling that he was really too suspicious, but he was just a better-looking child, how could he think that he was a big man.

In the blink of an eye, Shi Lan had already solved one steamed bun, and his little hand grabbed the second one.

Chu Liulang took two steps back and quietly disappeared behind the curtain.

Shi Lan settled here, and in addition to cleaning, he delivered goods to customers every day.

Many of the guests in the study are from families, and they are generous, Shi Lan's mouth is sweet, and he can mix some reward money every time, Chu Liulang knows that he doesn't give much money, so he pretends not to know every time, and raises his hand to let it go.

In this way, more than a month passed, Shi Lan saved more than one or two pieces of silver in her hand, and at the same time, she also inquired from the mouths of others that there was a high-gate mansion surnamed Pan on the edge of the city, which was the maiden family of today's concubine Niangniang, there were three uncles in Guangguo, and now all three of them were accompanied by their wives, and whether there was a lady in the mansion who passed away, because it was related to the inner house, and the years were long, and the people outside didn't know much.

In order to know the details, Shi Lan found the Ya woman who often gave girls to high-ranking families, gritted her teeth and gave her the silver she had worked hard to save, and asked her to help her pay attention to the movements of the Pan family.

Ya Po saw that she was a child, and she was still a little puzzled at first, Shi Lan said that she was a daughter, but in order to make a living, she pretended to be a child, but she was afraid that she would be old and unable to protect herself.

Ya Po looked at Shi Lan carefully for a while, and saw that although she was young, she was pretty, and she would definitely be a beauty in a few years. (To be continued.) )
