"Yes, the Donghu County Order I told you is from our village."

"Huh? What is his last name? ”

"The surname is Jiang, have you heard of it?"

Ling'er shook her head, thinking to herself that she had never heard of the biological father's surname of this body, the Ye family only called him a beast, but no one had ever mentioned his surname, it shouldn't be so coincidental, right?

Uncle Zhu said with a smile: "If you haven't heard of it, your grandmother's generation must know that our Poluogou is a famous poor ravine in the nearby ten miles and eight townships, there are very few fields in the village, and there is nothing to produce, most of the young people come out to find work to do, and there are not a few people who sell their children and daughters, but the Jiang family is an outlier." ”

Ling'er's eyes were full of interest: "Oh? What's an outlier method? ”

"The Jiang family was also so poor in the early years that they had nothing, a few wooden stakes and a little thatch were considered a house, and the family rarely ate rice once a year. But there is one thing, that Mrs. Jiang is very good at producing, so poor days, she can still give birth once a year, she gave birth to three girls in a row, and the fourth is a son.

Mrs. Jiang is naturally very precious, and when the son grows older, everyone finds that the kid is not only smart and clever in learning anything, but also looks good, everyone jokes that this kid will be rich and noble in the future, and even the village chief persuaded them to find a way to let the child study, maybe that child will become the first official in our Gonggou.

Mrs. Jiang really listened to it, but her family was poor, how could she have the money to study? Mrs. Jiang gritted her teeth and sold all the three daughters above, and all the money she got was given to the fourth child to study.

Later, Mrs. Jiang gave birth to several children one after another. I heard that he studied for the fourth child, and then sold his two daughters. But fortunately, the fourth child was also promising, and he was admitted to Xiucai before he was ten years old. After that, the Jiang family's life was much better. ”

Listening to Uncle Zhu's meaning, he was quite appreciative of Mrs. Jiang's daring to spend money for her son to study, but Ling'er listened to it and sold her daughters for her son, one after another, the first three said that they had no choice but to do so, but after the fourth child studied. Mrs. Jiang specially gave birth to a few children to sell, which shows that this old lady's heart is really not ordinary ruthless!

"Uncle Zhu, it's over. Does the fourth child continue to study? ”

"Of course, people have also been admitted to the lifting of people, otherwise how can they become the county commander?"

Ling'er was surprised: "The fourth child you are talking about is the Donghu County Order?!" ”

"Who else could it be if it wasn't him?"

"And how did he escape the plague?"

"After he was lifted, he stayed in the provincial capital and did not return to the countryside. Naturally, it will not be implicated. ”

"That'...... What about the rest of the Jiang family? ”

Uncle Zhu shook his head: "Alas. The others were stained with the light of the fourth child, and only lived a few good days, built a large yard in our village, and bought maids to come back, but they suffered from the plague in less than two years. Fortunately, the old lady Jiang was lucky and took her grandson to the provincial capital to find her son, and she escaped the catastrophe, and the other dozen or so people all died. ”

Is there a new yard? And the maids...... Ling'er faintly felt that the Jiang family was really likely to be the blood relatives of this body. Whew~~~~ It's really nowhere to find the iron shoes, and it takes no effort to get it; It may also be that the biological mother has a spirit in heaven. You have to ask yourself to find out to the biological father, right?

Ling'er decided that she had to go to Donghu County this time. And you must find the answer you want, if your biological father is really as the Ye family said, she will not leave him half a face, but if there is another hidden secret, you must also ask clearly.

Ling'er calmed down, turned around and looked at Uncle Zhu with a begging face: "Uncle, you look at me now, I really have nowhere to go, Jiang Xian Ling, please be sure to help." I believe that as long as I can enter the backyard of the official yamen, no one will doubt me anymore. ”

Uncle Zhu flicked his whip: "Try it, I can only make a recommendation for you, and it depends on what Master Jiang means if you accept it or not." ”

"Okay, okay, Uncle Zhu, you are really a good person, and good people have good rewards."

Uncle Zhu smiled and said: "Okay, it's just a gesture, who can't meet those of us who run outside all year round?" As long as the mind is not bad, can you help a handful, right? ”

Ling'er nodded again and again: "Yes, uncle, he is really good at being a man, I have to learn from you." ”

As soon as the ox cart climbs up the mountain, you can see a huge lake at the bottom of the mountain, the clear water spreads into the distance, and I don't know where the end is, and the Donghu County mentioned by Uncle Zhu is on a large flat land between the foot of the mountain and the lake.

"Wow! This is really a good place, Uncle Zhu, how big is the lake? ”

"It's very big, all the way to the Cangjiang River."

"How big is that?"

Uncle Zhu smiled and said, "Let's put it this way, it takes at least three days and three nights for a fast horse to run around the lake for a day." ”

"That'...... Is there anyone who keeps fish in this lake? ”

"Fish farming? Why Fish Farming? ”

"It's okay to raise it for food, it's okay to sell it, you can make money!"

"Hehe, you kid has a lot of intestines, the East Lake is connected to the Cangjiang River, and the tide rises every spring and summer, and there are endless fish fry pouring in as soon as the tide rises, where do you need to raise?"

Is that so? It's a pity, I thought it was a business opportunity.

When the ox cart arrived at the city gate, Uncle Zhu's familiar city gate guard greeted him, and the guard glanced at Ling'er, "Hey, Uncle Zhu, who is this kid?" ”

"Oh, this is the grandson of the old Zhang family in our village, ask me to take him out to find a job to do."

"Really? Uncle Zhu, you are a capable person, and now you have started to help others find errands. Uncle Zhu dealt with it, the guards naturally let him go, and Ling'er followed Uncle Zhu's ox cart into the city.

Compared with the city in Cangzhou, this East Lake City is as lively as it should be, and there are many shops selling aquatic products, most of which are due to the convenience of being close to East Lake.

In addition, on the streets of East Lake City, you can occasionally see some foreign businessmen dressed in strange clothes and look like East Asians, although there are more foreigners in the previous life, but it is the first time to see foreigners here, so it is inevitable that you will take a few more looks.

Uncle Zhu reminded: "Boy, don't stare at others, beware of getting into trouble." ”

Ling'er disagreed: "What do you have to look at a few times?" Aren't people meant to be watched? What's more, this is our territory, and they dare to be presumptuous? ”

"Hey, you kid, you don't speak lightly!" Uncle Zhu lowered his voice and said, "Don't you know that I have been defeated in battles with the Northern Barbarians?" These barbarians say they are merchants, but they are very horizontal in our place, and they will be beaten and killed at every turn, so you don't mess with them. ”

"Huh? Does the government care? ”

"Heh, the government? Aren't they all soft things that are afraid of hard? ”

Looking at Uncle Zhu's expression, he was quite dissatisfied with the government, so think about it, the county magistrate surnamed Jiang is not necessarily a good official? (To be continued......)
