Gobbling up the wind and clouds, I don't care about the heat and don't need pickles to accompany the meal, and in the blink of an eye, the three bowls of white rice porridge have bottomed out. At this time, there were not many early styles in Jingshi, and a large number of foods that were familiar to Jingshi people in the future have not yet been invented, and they belong to the blank stage. At present, there are basically few things that can enter the mouth, but fortunately, Sister Gui is a more competent housewife, there is no problem in making breakfast, they carry rice with them, and it is not difficult for them to start a gang by themselves.

Time has changed, and this white rice porridge is no longer a rare food for Fan Jin now. But the little girl of the Zheng family got it with relish, as if she was enjoying the delicacies. I can't see that the thin body is so large. Looking at the way she was eating, she knew that the girl was indeed hungry, and eating three bowls in a row was obviously not enough, she looked at a few adults, and was a little embarrassed, and smiled shyly:

"Ladies and gentlemen, although I eat a lot, I can also work. For a while, chopping wood, boiling water, washing clothes, and sweeping the floor, let me do all these tasks, and you all don't move. ”

When Sister Gui saw her eating like this, most of her stomach disappeared, touched her head and said, "Okay, how old are you, who can bear to let you work, eat yours well." It can be seen that your family is too poor, you can't eat enough, you have a stutter, and you have to hold on to your unobtrusive eldest brother, so I wronged you a little pitiful. You eat slowly, don't hold on. You kid, if you can't say anything clearly, it's not a laxative, it's really ......"

"Dad won't let me say it, for fear that if I say it, I will be remembered by the bad guys, and I will be arrested like a sister." The little girl who drank a big mouthful of porridge had a very serious expression and instructed the women in front of her.

"You are all good people, I kindly remind you that there are too many bad people in the Jingshi, although you are the daughters of the old man, but you can't help it when you meet bad people. Sister Gui, I know that you are for my own good, but if I don't give you laxatives, you will still wash my face when you turn around, what if people are seen by traffickers and come to arrest me? My dad needs someone to take care of him now, and my eldest brother has to work to make money, so I'm the only one to serve my dad, and I can't be sold. ”

"You can't be sold if you don't serve your father, at the feet of the Son of Heaven, abductors are so rampant, is there still a king in your eyes? I heard from your father that you only have two brothers and sisters, and I haven't heard that there is a sister. ”

The little girl was a little depressed, and put the porridge bowl aside, "That's the daughter of my uncle's family, my cousin, a few years older than me, and she is a very good person." The uncle died early, and he was taken care of by his father, and he was no different from his own sister. On weekdays, I help the family work, and I also help my father Zhang Luo's business, he is a very capable person, he can be busy inside and out, and he once learned the craft from a chef who ran the door of the mansion, and he can burn a table of group seats. Originally, I looked for my mother-in-law's house, but I couldn't find it for some reason. I couldn't find anyone after looking for a long time, and my father's illness fell from that time. ”

Xue Sufang said: "How many years has your cousin been lost?" ”

"It's been more than five years."

"Have you ever reported to the official?"

"The official naturally reported it, but it was useless. You are not from Beijing and don't understand, the master of Beijing is troublesome, and the officials and fathers have no time to be busy with us little people. I went to report to the official, but in exchange for one sentence, you went to find it yourself, found someone, and then came to us. When I asked in a hurry, I said, it must be your daughter who eloped with someone, the world is big, where are we looking for it. Later, my father asked for some money, and a yamen's father told the truth, let's stop looking for it. I don't know which noble person took a fancy to take it away, and I have nowhere to look for it. Later, there was a noble man who wanted to help, but unfortunately...... Even he died. ”

Fan Jin asked, "What?" There are also deaths here? ”

"Not really. Dad was in a hurry to find his sister on the street, and accidentally bumped into someone, and the other party knew about it and was willing to come forward. That is a handsome man in the Jinyi Guard, and after the Marquis of Qingyun, the emperor's relatives and relatives, how can he get people back if he wants to come forward with such a nobleman. It didn't take long for the nobleman's family to suffer, it is said that the maid and the long-term worker had an affair, and colluded with a butcher to come in at night and kill Ti Shuai to steal money. Although that incident didn't implicate us, but Daddy was scared when he thought about it, people are Hou Ye's clansmen, if we really die for us, don't we have to resist our lives? Even scared and angry, he fell ill, and his family gradually became what it is now. ”

"Qingyun Hou......" Fan Jin muttered for a while, remembering the name in his mind. Zheng said at this time: "My mother-in-law's side didn't say that we were married, and we fought a lawsuit, and even the store was lost." Daddy got sick again, and the family ran out of savings, so he had to borrow money. Those who lend money are the same as kidnappers, they are not good people, and the debts they borrowed from the king of Hades will never be repaid, and the picture is not our eight big tiled houses and the trees in the courtyard? If we don't sell it, we won't sell it, so we won't give them the house! ”

Fan Jin said: "You lost your temper yesterday, and you thought we were with those moneylenders? ”

"Yes, you came with Tang Niuzi, just if you were a gang, I don't want you to be really a man. I heard that Master Juren came to the capital early to catch the exam, why did Master Fan come so late? And why are there so many beautiful sisters following? Are they family? ”

Fan Jin picked up a steamed bun and put it in front of Zheng's eyes, "Eat well, don't have so many problems with children." ”

"No, I'm really good for you, the people in Beijing are complicated, and the bad guys are better than elsewhere, what if the two beautiful sisters really meet the bad guys? It's better to be ugly, like me. ”

Xue Sufang smiled and pointed to her waist with a finger, "Sister has martial arts, don't be afraid." ”

The little girl's eyes also fell on the sword in Xue Wu's waist, and her eyes showed a bit of curiosity and interest, "Sister, do you really know martial arts?" Aren't they scammers who sell drugs? ”

Fan Jin said: "Your sister Xue has beaten more than a dozen beggars with a series of bullets on the way to Beijing, and her methods are clever." ”

"That's fine, if you have this ability, you won't be afraid of those kidnappers. Sister, sister, how about you teach me martial arts? I can do the work for you, I have a lot of strength, I can do anything. ”

Xue Wu touched her hand, and saw that there were many holes on it because of the cold, and he couldn't bear it in his heart, and he didn't care about the dirt, so he held the little girl in his arms and rubbed her hair with pity. Xue Sufang, who was originally cold and didn't like to be close to people, was also willing to associate with some people since the ice in her heart was melted by Fan Jin. Especially this little child who looks very much like herself, she felt like a deed when she saw it, and she seemed to regard the other party as her sister.

The little girl is rarely so close to people, and at this time, she was hugged by Xue Wu, and tears flowed uncontrollably, and her sister screamed. Xue Wu asked: "Learning martial arts is very hard, are you afraid?" ”

"Don't be afraid. As long as I can find my sister, I am not afraid of how much hardship I endure. ”

"Practicing martial arts is the ability to defend yourself, not the ability to find people, even if you practice martial arts, it doesn't mean that you can find your sister."

"I know that my sister is in the city, and she is being guarded by some bad guy. My eldest brother once saw my sister on the street, and after only saying hello, she was beaten and lay in bed for half a month before getting off the ground. I knew it must have fallen into the wrong hands. As long as I practice kung fu well, I can get my sister back and beat up all those bad guys. ”

She said again: "Sister, if you rent a house from Tang Niuzi, you will definitely be fooled." He's a pimple, and he often rents a house to make a fool of people, so be careful, maybe in a few days he will bring a group of people to make trouble and drive you away. ”

"How dare he? If he dares to come to Luo, I will beat him. If he dares to go to court, we still have a man in our family, and he is not afraid of him in a lawsuit, think back, don't you say? ”

Seeing Fan Jin nodding yes, Xue Sufang's heart was sweet. Due to Zhang Shunqing's absence, she feels quite similar to her mother-in-law at the moment, with servants and girls around her, and her beloved in front of her. She even thought that if she lived here forever, it would not seem bad, it was best for Zhang Shunqing not to leave the Prime Minister's Mansion in this life, and she and Fan Jin would be people in Beijing like this and live a lifetime.

Fan Jin had just moved in, so he naturally didn't know much about the Zheng family, and he did feel that the Zheng family was pitiful, but he didn't want to help them. In the end, the little girl's words are somewhat credible, and I can't say it now, so I can only understand it in the future. As she said, as long as she said something, it would not be difficult to find someone if she said something in the Prime Minister's Mansion. Tang Niuzi, he doesn't look reliable, and he doesn't believe that the other party is a good person. It's just that since he is a lifter, as long as the other party's brain is not broken, he will not use his brain, and he doesn't take it to heart for splashing skin or human traffickers.

After breakfast, he began to prepare gifts and prepare to visit Zhang's mansion. Although it was nominally invited by Zhang Jiangling, in fact, this is a bit of a feeling of a hairy son-in-law coming to the door for the first time, especially since the future father-in-law is a dignified imperial zaifu and a well-known minister in the world, Fan Jin is really a little nervous.

This kind of thing is always a little inappropriate to do in front of Xue Sufang, so whether it is changing clothes or preparing gifts, he always goes back to his room. was busy, and as soon as the door opened, Xue Sufang came in from outside. Fan Jin smiled at her: "You didn't sleep much last night, and you didn't make up for sleep after eating?" ”

"Didn't you sleep too? I'll help you see how to dress and what gifts to take. Don't look at you as a master, Wenqu Xing descends to earth, but when it comes to giving gifts to your father-in-law's family, you still have to ask me. ”

This is not a boast, a woman who can be an Oiran is an expert in terms of human relations and ushering in the send-off. What etiquette to use and what to take in social interaction is only a basic skill for them, and the advice they provide is very valuable. It's just that Fan Jin went to see Zhang Juzheng, so that Xue Wu always felt a little disrespectful to her, so he didn't speak.

Xue Sufang said very generously: "I know that I am not qualified to be your main house, after all, I want my man to be famous, so I can get more benefits from this house, right?" As I said, although women like us are not as beautiful and noble as everyone, they are self-aware and will not be difficult to force others. Here, let me show you what to take. ”

She took the initiative to step forward and helped Fan Jin choose a few gifts bought from the temple market, which were not very valuable, but they were very attentive, and they were also elegant, in line with the identity of a scholar. Immediately, he picked out a relatively plain color from the clothes that Fan Jin brought and put them on, and personally matched accessories for Fan Jin.

"The first time I went to my father-in-law's house, it couldn't be too shabby, it was not good to be regarded as a poor boy who wanted to eat Lao Yue. But it can't be too luxurious, and it's not good to be treated as an outburst. Especially if you are a scholar, you must reflect the nobility of the scholar, although you and Zhang Jiangling have different identities, they are both saints and disciples. Deal with him with this size, and you won't let him look down on you. ”

She helped Fan Jin sort out her clothes as she spoke, Fan Jin's hand gently grabbed Hao's wrist, and Xue Wu struggled slightly, "Don't make trouble!" You're going to worship your father-in-law, if you get a fat powder incense, believe it or not, you can't get out of Zhang's mansion? I'm here, I can ask for it whenever I want, don't be in a hurry, just go in a hurry. The most important thing is to cheat his wife back first. As long as there is this relationship, Jinke Chun Fan Lang must be in high school, and at that time, I, a wild woman, can be stained. ”

"Five children ......"

Fan Jin hugged him hard, but Xue Wu slipped out of Fan Jin's arms like a swimming fish, and smiled at him: "Okay, it's only been a day since I was separated from the eldest lady, so I won't suffer it, right?" Hurry up, I'll have something to eat for you at home, and I'll be ...... tonight Everything depends on you. ”

Leaving a promise that gave people infinite reverie, Xue Sufang moved the lotus step lightly and left first. went to Zhang Juzheng's house, naturally she couldn't accompany her. Fan Jin couldn't find his leg strength in Beijing for a while, so he had to hire a sedan chair and go straight to Shamao Hutong.

When I arrived, it was already past the hour, and the two rows of benches in front of the door were full of guests waiting to be received, all of whom were well-dressed and dignified. In the cold wind, many people are sneezing, but they are still sitting upright, and they dare not sit at random, thinking that most of them are officials who have come to Beijing and Quanxu, and they must always keep in mind their identity as the pillars of the Ming Dynasty, and they must not lose their manners in front of the great Zaifu and his old man's disciples, and would rather be frozen into a popsicle than move a little.

Fan Jin handed the thorn in, and after a short time, two men walked out of it. One of them, Fan Jin, knew Yao Kuang, who he saw yesterday, and he didn't know the other person, but he looked at the dress and even temperament, which was quite similar to Yao Kuang, and most of them were Mr. You Chubin, who was also the housekeeper of the Prime Minister's Mansion.

The two of them went out to greet Fan Jin first, and led him to enter the house through the side door, and Fan Jin didn't care about how the officials outside guessed their identity. I only heard You Chubin say: "Xiangye wanted to thank Fan Gongzi in person, but there was something urgent to do in the Zhilu and he had to leave, so he could only entrust the third prince to receive it on his behalf, Fan Gongzi should not be surprised." ”

"Don't dare, the two butlers are polite. Xiangye works hard for state affairs, and if he comes to see the students in a doppelganger, it will be the student's sin. ”

The three of them walked towards the study as they spoke, and on the other side, Zhang Sixiu, who got the news from the servant, was so angry that he gritted his teeth in the room and said, "It's a pity that the master won't let me come forward, otherwise I will have to punch and kick this silver thief into a pig's head." Third, don't be soft, beat this kid up and avenge your little sister! ”
