Chapter 469

said that Shi Xiangyun recorded the list of small palace maids who left the palace, and Chen Ruijin was overjoyed and asked her for a list. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 info Xiangyun was puzzled: "Is it useful for Sister Chen to ask for that?" ”

Chen Ruijin saw that she seemed to be a little suspicious, and said: "Just now, Jia Cong negotiated a partnership with a gentleman, and this person happened to have a little daughter in the palace. It's just that he thought that his daughter was gone, and Jia Cong refused to say his name when he asked him. We thought, we can give it a try, but what if it's still there? He is a native of Chang'an, and his daughter was born in the capital with the surname Liu. ”

Shi Xiangyun thought for a moment when he heard this: "I haven't looked at the directory carefully, as if I remember that there is a girl named Liu Mingyue who looks very good, but she was adopted by a health hall." ”

Chen Ruijin was overjoyed: "Really? Her cousin's name is Liu Mingqiu! ”

Shi Xiangyun was completely undoubted, and recited the Buddha: "If you can find the families of those children, it will not be in vain for me to record a list." So he got up and went to the chest in the south wing next door.

Chen Ruijin saw that her cabinet was the same as the file cabinet specially made by the library of Lixiangyuan, and there were all kinds of sticks pasted, and said with a smile, "It's like our library." ”

Shi Xiangyun said: "I learned the method from your library, and the cabinet was also brought by Brother Huan. One wall said and the other pulled out the booklet, "It's all here." ”

Chen Ruijin saw that the booklet was neat and tidy, and the signatures were pasted according to the place of origin, and the same place of origin was arranged in order according to the strokes of the surname, which was obviously re-copied afterwards, and praised: "Grandma Bao Er is so thoughtful!" This apparent is to make it cheaper for the family to find their daughters; Otherwise, wouldn't it be much easier to make this list in the order of the health hall? ”

Shi Xiangyun sighed: "Although it has never come in handy, it is worth it to use it now." ”

Chen Ruijin couldn't help but look up at her a few times: "No wonder Jia Cong said that the masters of the Jia family may not be the best thing, and all women are talents, including those who are married." ”

Shi Xiangyun quipped: "But I don't know when Sister Chen will marry in?" ”

Chen Ruijin blushed slightly, lowered his head and said, "I've been busy these days." Out of the corner of his eye, he saw Shi Xiangyun laughing, and hurriedly said, "But I don't know if Liu Mingyue is from the capital or Chang'an." ”

Shi Xiangyun saw that she had already joked that she couldn't do it, so he had to say: "Let's see." ”

The two of them looked at the capital first, and there was no Liu Mingyue; Sure enough, I found Liu Mingyue's name in Chang'an, and the child was eleven years old this year. Chen Ruijin nodded and said, "Mr. Liu is in his thirties, and his daughter is almost this age. There are as many as seven people surnamed Liu in the list, and five are called "Liu Ming". Counting the fifteenth oldest this year, the youngest is only six years old. The eldest became a little Daogu, and the six-year-old was adopted by a family in Beijing, and the rest were scattered in various health halls.

Chen Ruijin then borrowed this list and hid it in his arms, gave Shi Xiangyun another salute, and said solemnly: "Thank you." ”

Shi Xiangyun hurriedly returned the salute: "It's just a gesture." ”

The next day, Chen Ruijin personally ran all over the health halls and Taoist temples to find the daughter of the Liu family, but none of them were lost, and they were all still there. After a little temptation twice, I have the ability to defend myself. One of the two Liu girls whose names are not Ming characters entered the palace at the age of seven to do chores, and the other is that Daogu, who is older and stronger in martial arts, about the same generation as Liu Si and Liu Xiaoqi.

Finally she went to find the youngest. The girl's name is Liu Mingyi, her adoptive father Pan Xigui is a horse-drawn carriage driver, and her adoptive mother Qi is good at needlework, making some clothes and embroidery at home for money. Chen Ruijin pretended to buy embroidery and went to their house to find out the details. When he saw Qi's first glance, he knew that he was from the palace.

After looking at a few tricks, Chen Ruijin frowned slightly and said, "It's too plain." ”

Qi said: "If you want to be richer, there are also you!" It's just a matter of effort, and the price is more expensive. ”

Chen Ruijin said: "Don't be afraid. To tell you the truth, I saw a relative's handkerchief embroidered very well, and she said that she bought it from you, so she came to see it. I'm about to leave the pavilion, and I have a lot to prepare. He blushed quietly as he spoke.

Qi Shi hurriedly smiled and said, "I see! Congratulations girl! Girl, wait, there are so many tricks! He went inside and rummaged for a while, and found a great stack of patterns.

Chen Ruijin took a look, and it was obvious that they were all in the palace. Yibi also said: "Can these sisters-in-law make it?" ”

Qi smiled and said: "Don't worry, girl, it's only stronger than the big embroidery village outside, and it won't be worse." ”

Chen Ruijin nodded, and looked at the embroidery work she was doing: "I believe you." My sister-in-law's job can be an 'S' level master in the Camellia Embroidery Village. ”

Qi couldn't help asking, "What is an 'S' level master?" ”

Chen Ruijin said: "Sister-in-law doesn't know. I don't usually live in the capital, but I'm here to do something. I live in Chengtian Mansion in Taiwan, and the largest embroidery house we have there is the Camellia Embroidery Village, where the embroidery master is rated according to the embroidery kung fu, and the best is the 'S' grade. The salary was frighteningly high. I'm afraid that the ordinary officials and masters are not as small as their fractions. ”

Qi smiled: "This is nonsense. How can the salary of an embroiderer be comparable to that of an official master. ”

"Why coax you." Chen Ruijin said, "Those 'S' level masters don't embroider ordinary gadgets, they all embroider some large pieces." Not to mention that there are seven or eight embroidered screens, and the big brocade hanging on the wall, which are sold to foreign countries as tribute to the lord of the country. If the foreign eunuchs sell it, they will cost thousands of silver. I have a fan bag from their 's' master, and I will show it to my sister-in-law. ”

Qi said: "You just said that the 'S' level master doesn't embroider ordinary gadgets. ”

Chen Ruijin said with a smile: "Most of the work given to them by the embroidery workshop is large, and they themselves usually embroider ideas and things for their families." To tell you the truth, my husband's apprentice and daughter-in-law are the 'S' level masters of that family, so she gave me some gadgets. Because she was originally from Fujian, the embroidery patterns were all from the south. I'm from the capital, and I want something from the north. ”

Qi nodded: "I see." ”

Chen Ruijin then provoked tricks. Although everything is good, she first chose an auspicious cloud peony and asked Qi to embroider a belt for her, "I will send the material when I turn back." Qi responded with a smile. When it came to the price, Qi said: "It's not too late to discuss when the girl sees something." ”

Chen Ruijin said: "Sister-in-law, aren't you afraid that I won't buy it?" ”

Qi pointed to a small white magnolia hairpin on her head and said, "Although this thing is small, the price is terrible." The girl wouldn't skimp on such an idea. ”

Chen Ruijin was about to speak, when he heard someone shouting outside: "Mother~~Mother~~ I want to drink water." As soon as the curtain was lifted, a little man ran in, "I'm dying of thirst!" ”

Qi Shi hurriedly stood up and poured water, and said: "I play with the boys all day long, and I am not afraid of heat stroke on such a hot day." ”

The little girl wore a red dress, tied pigtails, hugged the tea bowl and poured it, and Qi was chanting beside her: "Drink slowly!" What it looks like! There are no rules in the girl's house. ”

The little girl drank it all in one breath without hearing it, and looked up at her mother with a red little face: "I want more!" ”

Qi Shi was busy sifting water for her again: "Let you drink it slowly, do you hear?" No one is robbing you, what's the hurry? How is it good to choke? ”

The little girl took the bowl and gulped it down, touched her mouth and patted her stomach: "I'm not thirsty!" Qi said that she had no rules, she was obviously used to hearing it, and she didn't listen to a word in her ears, and looked at Chen Ruijin with big round eyes.

Chen Ruijin looked at her face and understood: This child must be Qi's own daughter, and the mother and son look very similar. She asked, "Is this Miss Pan?" ”

Qi Shi was stunned and said, "This is what my ex-husband left behind." ”

The little girl also said loudly: "My surname is Liu~~"

Chen Ruijin squatted down and said, "It turns out that your surname is Liu." How old are you? ”

The little girl stretched out a slap and a finger and said crisply, "Six years old!" ”

"What a clever child." Chen Ruijin said, "You and your mother really look alike!" ”

The little girl laughed sweetly: "Daddy also said that our mother and son are like each other." ”

Qi Shi hurriedly said: "Okay, you go and wash your face later!" It's almost a flower cat, what has it become? The little girl grimaced and ran away.

Chen Ruijin saw that their home was dilapidated, and it was inevitable that something would hurt them, so he took a silver ingot and said, "I can't say that I want my sister-in-law to put a lot of embroidery money first." ”

Qi Shi hurriedly said: "I don't have to do so much." ”

Chen Ruijin was stunned: "Many?" According to the work of the sister-in-law, how cheap are the ordinary things? ”

Qi sighed: "Large families have maids and servants who make clothes, shoes and socks, and most of the girls in small families can embroider some work. Who buys these things? ”

Chen Ruijin sighed: "It's not easy for sister-in-law. In this case, why don't you find a bigger embroidery village to work? ”

Qi smiled bitterly: "Those embroidery villages are all day and night, and I still have a child at home." And how much money can they give to the embroiderer? ”

Chen Ruijin shook his head: "That's what I said." Looking at it this way, the owner of the camellia embroidery workshop is a rare owner with a conscience. Nai said to her, "Sister-in-law, don't refuse." Your work is worth it, and you can't sell it for a low price just because you usually do it, and I will follow you cheaply. Seeing her earnestness, Qi had to accept it and thanked her again and again.

Chen Ruijin bought three or four more small items before saying goodbye. She didn't go far, just waited on the left, waiting for Qi's husband Pan Xigui to come back and see who this was. As soon as the man appeared, she saw it. A small sharp-throated beard - a eunuch. Xiaoliu Mingyi was very close to him, jumping up to meet him and shouting "Daddy". Pan Xigui smiled and hugged her and asked if she was good today and what to eat at night; Qi came out of the kitchen and said that his daughter had gone to play with the wild boy again.

Chen Ruijin returned to Lixiangyuan to clean up the meeting and ordered someone to go to the kitchen to get dinner. Jia Cong said first: "Brother Feng found out there, the witch doll is really Lin Luan's ghost, and a guy selling cloth recognized her portrait. Where are you? ”

Chen Ruijin said: "It's a long story. ”

"Then we'll talk about it after dinner."

The two of them ate and rested for another quarter of an hour, and Chen Ruijin started with today's events. After hearing that Qi's husband was a eunuch, Jia Cong clapped his hands and said, "Is it actually a living food?" Since she had a child with the children of the Liu family, why did she marry a eunuch? ”

Chen Ruijin said softly: "That girl is six years old. ”

"Huh? What's wrong? ”

Chen Ruijin said: "The chaos in Beijing was seven years ago. When Liu Mingyi was born, my master had already gone to Chen State. ”

Jia Cong calculated, when Liu Mingyi was still in her belly, it happened to be the fourth general chaos of the Beijing Division, and after she was born, there was no longer a female guard battalion! The Liu family is accustomed to raising children but not daughters. is a daughter, and the Liu family does not accept it, and her mother may not have a hard time supporting her in the palace. Just looking at Shi Xiangyun's list, it is written that the Qi family in the west of the city adopted it, so it can be seen that the Qi family left the palace first. Liu Mingyi was four years old when she was adopted. He asked, "The eunuch was not sent out of the palace, was he?" ”

Chen Ruijin said: "If the eunuch wants to take the opportunity to sneak away, it is not difficult, there are many ways. ”

Jia Cong pondered: "Liu Mingyi was four years old when she left the palace, and her mother had already gone out. From the time her mother left the palace to the time she took her home, how did she survive in those days? It is the age that needs to be taken care of by an adult. The palace is in chaos like that, how can a mother be willing to leave her daughter alone? Or one of the Qi family and the eunuch Pan must have a very clear master, guessing that these little ones will be released from the palace sooner or later? ”

Chen Ruijin said: "How can you guess this? Then there will be fear in the womb. I guess the Qi family was forced out of the palace. She is young and good-looking, so she can send it out to save money in the palace. At that time, the Empress Dowager had not yet sold her knighthood, and she was short of money. Eunuch Pan was afraid that she would entrust her daughter with him when she had no choice. ”

Jia Cong nodded: "Reasonable." When Qi heard that the young girl in the palace was going to be released again, he went to the palace gate to guard the daughter and bring her back. It's also pitiful. Eunuch Pan managed to leave the palace and reunite with their mother and daughter, becoming a family. Food is also true love. ”

Chen Ruijin said: "In my opinion, the Qi family is afraid that they still miss the Liu family in their hearts. Otherwise, why not let Liu Mingyi have the surname Pan? Also, Liu Mingyi's hometown recorded by Bao Er's grandmother is Chang'an. Can a four-year-old girl still know that she is from Chang'an? Someone must have been whispering in her ear all the time. Qi also said that she was the daughter of her ex-husband. Knowing that Pan Xigui is a eunuch......"

"So she still thinks about who the Liu family is." Jia Cong pinched his chin, "It's the same." The men of the Liu family are all strong in martial arts, and it is easy to provoke women. What's more, Pan Xigui is not useful. ”

Chen Ruijin said: "Although Pan Xigui is a eunuch, he is willing to go out every day to find a living to support his family, and he is ten times stronger than the Liu family. ”

Jia Cong thought for a while and said, "I remember Sister-in-law Yang said that embroidery is the same as fingerprints, and everyone's embroidery is different?" ”

"Not bad."

"What did you buy from Qi's?" Jia Cong blinked, "Is there anything I can use?" ”

Chen Ruijin went to the house and took out the few things, two purses and two handkerchiefs. Jia Cong picked up a purse and said, "I didn't like such fancy things. However, Ming'er should bring it with you. ”

Chen Ruijin glanced at him: "Go to Liu's house?" ”

"Well, go to that Liu family. Try it, but if someone can recognize this purse, their eyesight must be good. Jia Cong said, "Liu Mingyi is different from the daughter of the Liu family next to her. She has nothing to do with the women's guard camp and is supported by her biological mother, and her adoptive father loves her very much even though he is a eunuch. If the Qi family and Pan Xigui are in love, I am not ready to let the Liu family know her whereabouts. But now Qi is afraid that he will not forget his feelings for her biological father. That said, and look at the man in his heart, there is the woman who was driven away by their family after the chaos in the palace. ”
