After four days of stopping along the way, I finally arrived at Jinzhou, the word Jinzhou was written on the high city tower, Jinzhou City was in front of me, the world was not chaotic at this time, and there were no thieves to be arrested, so there was no obstruction to enter the city, and the group entered the city very smoothly.

After entering the city, Yuan Hao took everyone to find a familiar hotel to live in, because the female dependents were there, Yuan Hao was not easy to live casually, so he asked for a small courtyard, so it was a lot more convenient, and Shen Lan's side was properly arranged, Yuan Hao said goodbye to Shen Lan, after all, he came to Jinzhou to have something to do, and it was impossible to accompany Shen Lan to stay in Jinzhou, although he was gone, but Yu Guang and Guo Rui were left behind, so in addition to Shen Lan's master and servant, Yu Guang and Guo Rui were also left in this courtyard.

Sent Yuan Hao away, Shen Lan's master and servant first instructed the shopkeeper to get water to wash away the dust, and then called a table to eat, and entertained Yu Guang and Guo Rui to express gratitude, one of them sent a red envelope of two taels of silver, so that Yu and Guo are naturally short mouths and short hands, even if there is a little Jiujiu in their hearts, they will not embarrass Shen Lan, or they will not do their best to do things.

Just came to Jinzhou, Shen Lan was still a little tired, so after buying the hearts of good people, Shen Lan didn't have the energy to run out, so she honestly slept in the inn for an afternoon, and waited until the sun set and it was not so hot before leaving the house.

The dinner in the evening was still prepared by the inn, but Yu and Guo did not eat with Shen Lan again, after all, Shen Lan's master and servant were women, and there were still some taboos. So Yu and Guo greeted Xu early, saying that they didn't have to care about the food of the two of them, as long as they took care of themselves.

In this way, Shen Lan doesn't have to settle for it, the dinner is very light, completely according to her taste, fried cowpeas, refreshing cabbage and tofu soup, plus a steamed river fish, Jinzhou is located in the Liujiang Delta, so the fishery is very rich. The master and servant are enough to eat two dishes and one soup.

Maybe I woke up from a nap in the afternoon. Shen Lan's spirit is very good, it was good to be able to eat half a bowl of rice in the past, but this time she ate a whole bowl of rice, and it was not dark outside after eating. But the sun was setting. So the temperature has also dropped. It's a pleasant time.

There was a bit too much to eat for dinner, so Shen Lan wanted to go out for a walk, and Xu had no opinion. After the others cleaned up the dishes and chopsticks, Shen Lan took the Xu family out of the door, and Xu Yu and Guo were not in the courtyard, so they didn't come out to ask, so the master and servant walked out of the Yuelai Inn.

Although Jinzhou is a capital city, but there is no habit of night markets, so there are not many pedestrians on the road, even if someone passes by, it looks like they are rushing home to eat, Shen Lan and Xu originally just came out for a walk to eat, so they didn't walk for a while, and they went back when the sky got dark, after all, it was a mansion city, unlike those towns that Shen Lan passed through before, it was really dark as soon as it was dark, but many inns and restaurants hung high lanterns, which really had a bit of a feeling of river lanterns.

After walking around, I just entered the inn and saw the shopkeeper trotting over and said: "Madam, you are finally back, your guards can't see you when they come back before, but they blamed the villain fiercely, next time Mrs. wants to go out, please say something." ”

Shen Lan didn't expect to be dropped by the number of people as soon as she entered the door, but the Xu family on the side greeted her with a smile, took out a few copper plates from her sleeves and handed them over: "Trouble little brother, my wife and I just went out for a walk, but I forgot to explain to my little brother, trouble you." ”

The little second took the money, and immediately changed his face to a smile, and said in his mouth: "Yes, next time Mrs. is going, say hello to me, lest someone look for it and find no one." ”

"Thank you little brother, I will definitely tell my little brother next time." Xu said with a smile.

"It's nothing, I'm busy, call me if you have something." took the money, and this little er's attitude is much better.

"Certainly, definitely, you go and get busy." The Xu family retreated behind Shen Lan after the entertainment, and the shopkeeper also turned around and left, Shen Lan just watched silently, but didn't say anything, after all, this kind of thing is not what she, the master, should do, so Shen Lan stood aside and let the Xu family entertain without saying a word.

The master and servant walked into their own small courtyard, and as soon as they entered the door, Yu Guang ran over and asked nervously, "Mrs. Song, where have you been?" Our brother didn't see you and Mother Xu when he came back, and he was in a hurry. ”

"Brother Yu, Mother Xu and I are just going to go outside to eliminate food, don't worry, what about Brother Guo?" Shen Lan smiled reluctantly, she was a little unhappy with Yu Guang's attitude at this time, she invited a guard, not a cell boss.

In fact, Shen Lan also misunderstood others, after all, it was her first time to come to Fucheng, and it was understandable that Yu Guang was worried that she was lost, after all, Shen Lan had never been to Fucheng before, so where would he go to find it if he got lost.

"Guo Rui went to find you and Xu's mother, today is also our brother's wrong, see you sleeping in the house, just go out for a stroll by yourself, you haven't been to Fucheng, you definitely don't know the road, tomorrow I will drive you in a carriage to take you around Fucheng, see what you want to buy, you can buy it back then." Yu Guang also knew that his tone was a little bad, but now he thought of remedy.

Shen Lan saw that Yu Guang intended to make up for it, and she didn't care about it, after all, she was not very familiar with people, and she didn't want to be too harsh, so she said: "Brother Yu, I came to Jinzhou this time, presumably Second Master Yuan has also explained to you and Brother Guo, I am not afraid of anything with Mother Xu by my side, mainly because I want you and Brother Guo to help me inquire about my third sister, although my third sister has been gone for more than half a year, but I can't keep it to a dirty place, but I want you to help inquire." ”

Yu Guang and Guo Rui naturally knew about this, and they also knew that Shen Lan had been looking for her sister with great fanfare before, but there was no news so far, so she wanted to come to Jinzhou Mansion to find it this time, but to be honest, Yu Guang felt that the probability of finding it was not very high, even if she really found it in those dirty places, it was not a good thing after all.

Although he thought so in his heart, Yu Guang didn't say it. Instead, he replied with a serious face: "Mrs. Song, don't worry, the second master has also instructed me to do this well, and Guo Ruiding and I should do a good job of this matter for Mrs. Song." ”

Shen Lan nodded, and instructed the Xu family: "You go to my cage and get twenty taels of silver for Brother Yu." ”

Since it is not good to ask people to inquire about the news, so Shen Lan instructed the Xu family, and the Xu family agreed and entered the house, Yu Guang heard that there was money to take, and he was somewhat satisfied with Shen Lan's upper road, and he was worried that he would have to spend his own money to find out the news in the building, but now it is better. With the money given by others, you can also go shopping in the building. It's just beautiful.

"I don't know what Mrs. Song's third sister looks like?" Yu Guang looked at the money, so he naturally didn't mind asking a few more words.

"My third sister looks a little like me, but she hasn't grown yet, and she just reached the height of my shoulders when she left home. In addition, she has a single eyelid. I have double eyelids. The forehead is not as high as mine, the nose is slightly flattened, and the face is a little rounder. Slightly thinner lips. Shen Lan roughly described Shen Lian's appearance, Yu Guang also listened carefully, carefully observed Shen Lan's appearance while listening, and then sketched Shen Lian's appearance in his heart, and roughly had a mold, but he couldn't be sure, so he asked again: "Are there any special marks?" ”

Some people will have some birthmarks or hemorrhoids, these marks will not all look exactly the same, if you look through these marks, maybe it will be more convenient, after all, there is no sketching in this era, even although Shen Lan herself can draw two strokes, but she has never painted a figure painting, so it is naturally impossible to draw Shen Lian's appearance.

Shen Lan thought about it carefully, she was not close to Shen Lian, and besides, she crossed over, where would she remember so much, but fortunately, Shen Lian had lived with her Guo for a while, and after thinking about it carefully, she said uncertainly: "There is a hemorrhoid the size of a mung bean on the armpit of her right arm." ”

It is said that in ancient times, girls couldn't even show their arms, and the position of this armpit could be regarded as a secret place, and it was not suitable to tell outsiders, but now there is no way to do it, so Shen Lan said it.

Yu Guang nodded and said that he had written it down, and at this time the Xu family had already taken the silver and walked out, Shen Lan asked the Xu family to teach the silver to Yu Guang, and then after a few words of greeting, they came back to their respective houses.

When Shen Lan came into the room, she sat down at the table, poured herself a glass of cold boiled water and drank it, and over there Xu closed the door and walked to Shen Lan, frowning: "Madam, you took out twenty taels of silver at once, what can you do if people don't do things for you?" ”

When you go out, no matter how much silver you have, you don't need to use it, although the Xu family doesn't know how much silver Shen Lan has brought, but the cage is only fifty taels of silver, and this time it has removed twenty taels, and the Xu family is somewhat worried.

Shen Lan didn't care much, in addition to the silver in the cage, there were five gold leaves on her body that didn't move, although there was not much silver, but in addition to these things, she also had a lot of pearls, and she could exchange them for money by taking out a string casually, so she didn't care about Xu's worries.

"Okay, finding my third sister is a serious matter, everything else is easy to say, and it is impossible for Second Master Yuan to leave us in this Golden State, as long as we can go back, money is nothing." After Shen Lan drank a glass of water, she slowly said, now Shiweixuan's business is very good, and she is really not very bad for money, but she also knows that this ice business can only be done for a few months, and when the autumn tiger passes, she is afraid that she will have to think of new tricks to improve her business.

However, at that time, in addition to Shiweixuan, the family's grain shop was also opened, and this business would naturally get better and better, so Shen Lan really didn't worry much about money, and in the place where she thought she should spend money, she would naturally not be stingy.

When Xu Shi heard her words, he was immediately a little unconvinced, and couldn't help but say: "Mrs., don't say that, Mrs. can't spend it so indiscriminately even if she can make money, you haven't heard the song in the play, this money is all accumulated, and those who are big spenders are not long-term." ”

To be honest, Shen Lan really hadn't seen the play, so naturally she didn't know what the Xu family was talking about, but she didn't refute it, and she also knew that the Xu family was doing it for her own good, so she said: "I know, I'll give it this time, I can't let people find someone and have to post their own money to go in, it's unreasonable." ”

"Madam, when I say what you say, don't you don't like to listen to it, the old lady told me not to look for it, what kind of new thing do you say, the third girl was not very close to you before, or stole the family's money and ran out, and you still remember her, if she is the sister of the old slave, the old slave is too lazy to care about her." Although the Xu family has been by Shen Lan's side for a long time, it was bought by Shen Lan very early, so naturally he knew about the matter between Shen Lian and Shen Lan, but in fact, in his heart, the Xu family did not approve of Shen Lan spending money to find Shen Lian.

But Shen Lian is Shen Lan's sister after all, how can she say a lot as a subordinate, she is afraid that she will not be a person inside and outside at that time, in fact, where is Shen Lan completely for Shen Lian, mainly she wants to deal with those individuals in her own space, so she found an excuse to go out, otherwise she can't deal with it nearby, in case it is exposed, how can it be good, this Jinzhou Mansion to Yuan Jiaji is a carriage ride for four or five days, and it is a transportation hub by land and water, and there are many people coming and going from the south to the north, throwing people here, who knows who did it?

So Xu was chattering in his mouth, but Shen Lan listened painlessly, her twenty taels of silver not only sent Yu and Guo to find Shen Lian, but also to get rid of them, lest they follow her, and then she couldn't find a chance to be embarrassed.

"Mom, after all, the third sister is my own sister, and besides, my mother is also half of her gray hair for her, and if she finds the third sister back, she can also solve the knot." Shen Lan replied, although the Shen Zhao family doesn't mention Shen Lian much now, but the occasional loss still can't deceive people, this time the new house was built, she put away all the old clothes left by Shen Lian in the past, and did not throw them away, so it can be seen that she is still worried about Shen Lian in her heart.

When the Xu family saw that Shen Lan moved the Shen Zhao family out, they didn't know what to say for a while, after all, Shen Lan was filial to her mother, so she had nothing to say except for a long sigh.

After sleeping all afternoon in the afternoon, Shen Lan didn't sleep at this time, and she couldn't help but ask about Xu's affairs for a while, "Mother Xu, do you have any children?" ”

The Xu family, who was making the bed, was stunned when he heard this, and came over for a moment before he spoke: "The old slave naturally has children, but his fate is not good, and now I don't know where they have gone." ”

Hearing this, Shen Lan was a little overwhelmed, it seemed that she had touched someone's sore feet, so she thought about it and comforted: "Mom, don't worry, they won't be too bad if you think about it, the ends of the earth are always thinking about you." ”

Listening to Shen Lan's words, Xu just replied sullenly: "I borrowed my wife's auspicious words." ”

For a while, Shen Lan didn't know what to say to comfort Xu, and the room fell into silence, and when Xu made the bed, Shen Lan went to bed directly under the pretext of being tired, but she couldn't sleep when she got to bed, and Xu also slept on another small bed after washing, and the master and servant didn't say anything all night.
