Chapter 10 Killing Two Birds with One Stone
"Okay."
Hardly any hesitation, she agreed directly.
Now their mother and daughter really need a place to rest, even if they live in the same place as Yin Chen, there is nothing wrong with it.
Besides, he has a good hand, and he can protect them, killing two birds with one stone.
After a brief discussion, Shen Lian returned to the room where he was temporarily staying in the yamen, ready to pack up his things and go over.
She also briefly told Bai about this matter.
After hearing this, Bai directly refused.
"No, you are a girl who has not been out of the cabinet, and you live with a man, if it spreads, what kind of system will it become, it will damage your reputation, we can't live in it."
Faced with this bad habit in ancient times, Shen Lian was speechless for a while, although she didn't mind this matter, she still had to take care of Bai's thoughts.
"Mother, this time is different from the past, we can't care about so much, it's already a good thing to have a place to live temporarily, don't worry so much."
Bai was originally a person who had no opinions, and after hearing that his daughter had identified it, he didn't say much more, and accepted it silently.
After a simple tidying up, the mother and daughter followed Yin Chen to a house at the foot of the mountain in the west of the city.
This house is a little far from other people's houses, about three or four hundred meters away.
The courtyard is surrounded by high walls, and there is no fear of people climbing the wall, which is also a quiet and good place to live.
While the Bai clan was packing up in the room, Shen Lian walked out and handed Yin Chen ten taels of silver.
"It's rent."
Yin Chen was a little surprised, she didn't expect her to be so generous, and she took out ten taels of silver directly, without the slightest hesitation.
But before he could open his mouth to praise, Shen Lian said again, "Part of it is the rent, and the other part is that I want to hire my bodyguard, that is, the nursing home, how about it?" In fact, making such a request, Shen Lian didn't have a bottom in his heart.
Since Yin Chen's father's position is higher than that of the county order, then his family must not be short of money, and I don't know if he will dislike the money too little and be unwilling to agree? Just when she was thinking about these things, Yin Chen nodded directly and agreed, and took the silver.
"Yes, then it's decided."
Seeing that he agreed, Shen Lian breathed a sigh of relief and relaxed temporarily.
However, she looked around the entire wall, although it was a relatively tall kind, but it was not difficult for a person with a little strength to climb in, and she still had to make some preparations just in case.
So, let Bai clean up at home first, she took Yin Chen up the mountain, and specially instructed her to cut down more thorny branches.
Although he didn't understand what she meant, Yin Chen still did it.
After taking all the thorny branches back, Shen Lian began to prepare.
Although this branch is still a bit worse than modern things like nail barbed wire, it is good enough here that it can at least come in handy.
She brought a ladder and prepared to go up to the wall.
Seeing this, Yin Chen hurriedly stopped, "Just tell me what you want to do, it's too dangerous for you to do such a thing." ”
"It's fine."
This was not a difficult thing for Shen Lian at all, and after going up the wall, he asked Yin Chen to help hand over the prickly branches that had been cut down, and then put them on the wall.
Although the wall is not made of bricks and cement, it is also mud and stone, and relatively speaking, it is relatively strong.
Because the wall is uneven, all people who want to enter it do not need to go through the gate, they only need to climb the wall with a little effort.
And Shen Lian did this to prevent this possibility.
In broad daylight, there should be no one recklessly entering inside, and the guard against it is naturally someone who steals at night.
Because the branches were light, she also pressed stones on the branches to prevent the strong wind from blowing them down.
It is not so easy for the branches to be pressed like this, and to be blown away by the wind.
For Shen Lian's whimsical idea, Yin Chen thought it was very interesting.
I have never seen such a quirky woman, not only has a different temperament from ordinary people, but also has a stubborn self-confidence, which unconsciously attracts him.
Night.
Yin Chen was practicing in the woods, and as soon as he stopped, he heard a slight footstep behind the tree behind him, which made him vigilant.
"Who is it?" Xiaoba walked out from behind, and the "Three Emperor ......" realized that he had made a mistake and hurriedly changed his words, "Young Master, when will we go back to Beijing?" It's not an option to stay here forever! ”
"Those people probably thought I was dead, and now when I go back, they will definitely find a way to deal with me again."
He knew very well in his heart that if he went back like this, the result would be the same, it was better to stay for the time being, and besides, seeing that Shen Lian had some means to solve the case, maybe he could help himself when the time came.
Rather than going back to the belly and facing the enemy, it is better to prepare first.
The next morning, Shen Lian got up early and started cooking.
Bai's health is not good, and it is simply difficult for her to do such things as cooking.
And Yin Chen, a man, is afraid that his cooking skills are not very exquisite, so this job naturally falls on her shoulders.
However, there are no vegetables at home, so I can only cook a few sweet potatoes for breakfast.
Usually Yin Chen goes to the market to buy food, and he has never done it himself, where does a person of his status need to work hard by himself? After dealing with it, Shen Lian asked Yin Chen to follow him to the market.
Since you have moved to a new house, you naturally need to prepare everything for a long-term life, and you have to have enough of it.
Fortunately, when he didn't cross over, Shen Lian was a forensic doctor with good cooking skills, otherwise, he would have starved to death when he came here.
The ingredients in the market naturally cannot be compared with those in the supermarket, but they are relatively comprehensive, and after buying some vegetables and a piece of pork and some condiments, she also named a jar.
It's just that now she is carrying things in both hands, and the jar naturally needs Yin Chen, who is empty-handed, to take it.
In addition to this, some seeds were procured.
After all, there is still a part of the land in the yard, and it is a waste to waste there, so it is better to grow some vegetables and save a lot of money.
On the way back, Shen Lian kept thinking about it.
Just relying on this bit of silver, she can't support her and the Bai family at all, so she has to think of some other way to find some lucrative job as a part-time job.
It's just that it's just starting now, and I can't think about it that much, so let's wait until I'm settled down before making plans.
After returning home, Shen Lian directly assigned Yin Chen the task and asked him to go to the garden to remove all the grass, without the slightest politeness.
Seeing that he was working hard at this job, Xiao Ba and Xiao Shi couldn't stand it anymore.
They respect the three princes who have a body of gold, where has they done such a thing, and that woman actually instructed him to do this.
In a fit of anger, he was ready to find Shen Lian to reason.
It's a pity that he didn't succeed and was stopped by Yin Chen directly.
After coming back, Shen Lian was not idle, sitting there to clean the jar, preparing to pickle some pickles first, fortunately, she had experience before, so she knew what to do.
After making the kimchi, she took great pains to get the jar to a cool place to avoid the sun.
Yin Chen wiped his sweat and walked out of the garden, Shen Lian looked at him thoughtfully and said, "Can you help me go to the market and buy a few chickens and ducks?" The tone was quite gentle, but Yin Chen still questioned.
"It's not right for you to tell me to do this and that, right?"
"What's wrong? You are the caretaker of my home here, and I have also given you money, besides, you have followed us to eat and drink for nothing, where did you treat you badly? "Eat and drink for nothing? After hearing this, Yin Chen couldn't help laughing, he really thought he was the kind of person who had nothing to do.
But in the end, he nodded in agreement.
"Okay, I'll go now."
"Forget it, I'll go with you."
Shen Lian felt that there were still some things that seemed to be unprepared, and she still had to go again to see if there was nothing that needed to be purchased together.
When I arrived at the place, in addition to the chickens and ducks, I bought two more jars, as well as some eggs and duck eggs.
