The county government of Qingshui County is located in the most central location of the county. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 infoToday is Qingming, there is a drizzle outside, and it is a little deserted in front of the county yamen.

In a side room in the backyard of the county government, Chen Fan'er had been lying in bed for nearly a day. After eating some liquid food, she recovered a lot.

Although the middle-aged man's words were out of comfort, at least they made Chen Fan'er no longer more pessimistic.

It's just, where to find Granny Qin? Are your parents really alive? These two questions have been lingering in her mind.

Chen Fan'er turned over and found that there was another bowl of medicine next to the bed. This is the third bowl of the day, and since she woke up, there has been no one to take care of this room, only someone to deliver food and medicine regularly.

"Yes, I'm not a distinguished guest, just an ugly girl who was picked up." Chen Fan'er sat up, picked up the medicine and began to drink it in small sips.

The medicine is very bitter, Chen Fan'er drank it very slowly, she remembered that when she was sick before, the medicine that her mother-in-law boiled was also very bitter, but there would always be a candy to eat after drinking.

There is a gap between reality and memory, and tears will flow down very unhappily.

"Cry what cry! In addition to crying all day, it is sleeping! There was an impatient girl's voice at the door, and Chen Fan'er quickly wiped her tears and followed the voice: a little girl with a good face and dressed in light blue clothes was looking at her impatiently.

"I don't think you're dead by looking at you, I don't understand what you're crying all day long! When you wake up, follow me to the lobby, the master wants to see you! The little girl looked Chen Fan'er up and down with disgust, feeling that the black birthmark on her face was inexplicably upsetting, and she still couldn't get rid of the strong mountain village flavor after changing her clothes.

Chen Fan'er quickly finished drinking the medicine, got up and followed the little girl to the hall of the back house.

In the hall, an elegant middle-aged man sat in the main seat, and the bearded uncle stood in front of him, reporting something.

Seeing Chen Fan'er coming, he motioned for him to wait for a while.

"Qingsong, you go on."

"Yes, sir. Later, his subordinates inquired that the eldest lady of the Cao family was not only not injured, but was also accepted as a personal disciple by a divine master. Now the Cao family is holding a feast and inviting friends to celebrate this good deed. ”

The middle-aged man glanced at the red invitation card on the table and said with a wry smile: "Heh, it's really a blessing in disguise." I think how Cao Guogui invited me to the banquet, it turned out that his baby daughter 'flew into a phoenix'. Did you find the old woman who hurt Cao Jinling? ”

"There have been people from the Pingyang Northern Army searching in the forest, and their subordinates have not dared to participate in it."

"Well, there is no need to pursue this matter further. Since Cao Jinling is fine, Cao Guogui will not make trouble to the county. Qingsong, you go to the treasury to choose a good silk and send it to Cao's house as a congratulatory gift. ”

"Your Excellency, aren't you going to a banquet?"

"I don't want to listen to Cao Guogui boast about her daughter's brave deeds, he now has the support of the military, and he will not take this official seriously. Out of sight is pure, you say that I have not come back from my trip to the countryside. The middle-aged man pressed his right temple, and it was quite a headache to encounter such a thing as soon as he returned home.

Qing Song slowly walked out of the lobby after getting his life, and glanced at Chen Fan'er before stepping out of the door, the black birthmark was really disgusting, but why was this little girl so familiar?

Chen Fan'er didn't notice that others were looking at her, because she was also thinking about the conversation just now: Is Cao Jinling the big sister that her mother-in-law dealt with at the city gate? Does her mother-in-law's disappearance have anything to do with her?

"Hey! What a daze! The lord called you! Chen Fan'er was poked by the little girl next to her, only to find that the middle-aged man was beckoning her over.

The middle-aged man didn't care about Chen Fan'er's faux pas, and asked, "Are you feeling better?" ”

"Thank you, sir, it's much better." Chen Fan'er didn't know the rules of etiquette, so she stood straight and replied. The little girl behind her looked angry and wanted to step forward to remind, but was stopped by the middle-aged man shaking his head.

"Let me introduce myself first. My surname is Cheng, and the Cheng of He Cheng is the county order of this county. I don't know what you call a little girl? Cheng Xianling continued to ask with a pleasant face.

Chen Fan'er had learned the official system from Granny Qin, so she was a little surprised when she knew that it was the county order that was seated. She didn't know how to salute, so she felt that there was nowhere to put her two hands, and she whispered timidly: "I am also surnamed Chen, Erdong Chen, and my name is Fan'er." Thank you for saving your life. ”

"Oh? Chen Fan'er, it seems that we are also quite fateful. Can you tell me where your parents are? I'll send you back. ”

"I don't know. Last night I was attacked by a monster in the woods and lost contact with my mother-in-law. Chen Fan'er organized her speech slightly, and she vaguely sensed that Cheng County Ling was also tracking down Granny Qin's whereabouts.

"What about your parents?"

"They...... I haven't seen them since I was born. My mother-in-law said that my parents were killed by bad people. Before it was confirmed, Chen Fan'er believed Granny Qin's statement more.

Cheng Xianling's face was embarrassed, and a sympathetic look appeared on the face of the little girl standing on the side, and she no longer looked at Chen Fan'er with disgust.

"Susu, is it the day for Miss to go to private school tomorrow?" Cheng Xianling diverted the topic and asked.

The little girl replied with some excitement: "Yes, sir." The teacher of the private school has already come to urge me twice, saying that the class must start tomorrow anyway. ”

Cheng Xianling sighed and said, "Miss Fan'er, there is still a shortage of female scholars in my county government, are you willing to stay for the time being?" ”

Chen Fan'er looked at Cheng County's kind expression and thought carefully: she was indeed homeless. Moreover, staying in the county mansion, you can also find out the whereabouts of Granny Qin.

"Thank you, sir, for taking me in."

That's a promise. Cheng Xianling didn't ask Chen Fan'er about her background, he didn't think that a ten-year-old girl would leave any scheming to harm herself.

Chen Fan'er followed the little girl named Su Su out of the lobby and walked in the direction of the main bed.

The two walked side by side, and when the little girl saw Chen Fan'er bowing her head and not saying a word, she spoke first: "My name is Leng Qingsu, and I am Miss's personal maid." You can call me Sister Su Su in private in the future. ”

"Sister Susu." Chen Fan'er was a little surprised, Leng Qingsu had a bad attitude towards herself before, why is the contrast so big now?

"There are some things you need to know about the house, I'll probably tell you about it. The lord was a prefect before, but now he was demoted here as a county magistrate because of his mistakes. The lady died of illness the year before last, and the lord did not take another concubine after that. The lord only has one daughter, but the young lady is also infected with a strange disease. When I arrived, I saw the young lady in the first room. When Leng Qingsu introduced, the two had already moved to the door of the master bedroom.

Leng Qingsu didn't knock on the door, and directly pushed the door open.

There was a little girl dressed in white, standing at the desk, holding a fine brush and concentrating on calligraphy.

Chen Fan'er glanced up and was taken aback! Because, the appearance of the woman in the house is seven points similar to Leng Qingsu.
