Chapter 47 Arrangement
Coming out of Wu Jiugong, Lin Jin couldn't help but think about the little girl she saved on the day of the Lantern Festival, who she mistook for Zhen Yinglian. At the beginning, because she knew that Zhen Yinglian was also a young lady, and she pitied her for what happened to her, after buying her, she was not brought into the house, but arranged at her grandmother Tao's house.
The reason why such an arrangement was made was because Lin Jin felt that even if Zhen Yinglian returned home, because she was a character in the twelve hairpins of Jinling, maybe she would have an intersection with her, Daiyu, Baochai, and Rongning.
Lin Jin felt that a woman, who was abducted and trafficked, had the experience of being a slave and a maid, and it was better not to be known in this world, and if she still had dealings with them, then she would have been equal to everyone according to her background, but once her past was known, even if Daiyu and they would not treat her differently because of this, not all people are like this, let alone people.
Therefore, after Lin Jin mistakenly thought that she was Zhen Yinglian, she didn't bring her into the mansion, because she was afraid that when she had a chance to meet again in the future, the people in the mansion would leak her past, place her in Mama Tao's house, and even told Mama Tao that she should go out less when she had nothing to do, and try to avoid the people in the house and not let them see her.
But now that the situation has changed, the news he got from Wu Jiugong made Lin Jin know that he had recognized the wrong person, so it was time to reconsider the arrangements for this girl. After thinking about it for a while, she decided that if the girl remembered the information from home, then she would arrange for her to be reunited with her family; If not, then take her to the house and let her work as an errand in her house, and she can't continue to stay at Mama Tao's house as a young lady.
Came to the door of Mama Tao's house, Lin Jin followed the little maid holding Yan standing at the door and shouting, Mama Tao heard the voice, hurriedly greeted her, while letting Lin Jin into the house, while looking behind her, seeing that there were only two Yan and Wang Zuo, she said angrily: "Brother is really too nonsense, how can you go out and let Wang Zuo follow alone?" It's worth it. If you meet someone, or meet the master, people on the street crowd the car and bump into the sedan chair, if there is a mistake, it is also stubborn. ”
Hearing this, he pouted, stood in front of Mama Tao and said, "Mama Tao, how do you speak?" I'm such a big person standing in front of you, you didn't even see me, saying that there is only Brother Zuo by the uncle's side, am I not a human being, am I a ghost? ”
glanced at the half-sized man who had just reached his shoulder height in front of him and held the inkstone, Mama Tao pulled him away, and said angrily: "Go aside, don't get in the way here." You little arms and legs, what do you really want to do, what can you do? Even the recharge is redundant. ”
As he spoke, he pulled Lin Jin into the house, wiped the chair again and again, took out a new mattress and laid it out, so that she could sit down, and then hurriedly ordered her daughter-in-law and granddaughter to set the tea and fruit up.
Lin Jin watched Mama's family busy because of her arrival, and wanted to speak up, persuading them not to be so busy, everyone just be casual, but then thought that there was a difference between master and servant in this era, swallowed the words that came to her mouth, and just watched them busy.
After a neat table of fruits was put on the table, and the tea was made and delivered, Lin Jin spoke: "Mom, I came this time for the two people I bought on the day of the Lantern Festival." That girl ......"
"Brother, don't worry, since Wang You sent people here a few days ago, I have arranged for these two people to live in the hugging house behind the house according to your instructions, and told them not to go out. So, in our family, except for my daughter-in-law, who took care of them when I was not at home, even my granddaughter never saw them. ”
"Then Mom, will you call that girl over to me?" As soon as the words came out, Lin Jin hurriedly said, "Forget it, you follow me to the backyard." ”
Although this person is not Zhen Yinglian, who knows if she will be another abducted lady? If she remembers the situation at home and sends her away, no one can say whether they will cross paths in the future? What Lin Jin once thought about for Zhen Yinglian, do you know if it will be staged on her? So, let's go over to her.
When she came to the east room of the backyard hugging the building, the girl Lin Jin rescued was doing needlework, and when she saw her and Mama Tao coming, she hurriedly put down the needle and thread in her hand, saying that she was a good man, and wanted to kneel down to thank Lin Jin.
Mama Tao stopped her before she knelt down, "Don't do this, Uncle doesn't like this." Uncle came here today to ask you something, and if you answer honestly, maybe you can reunite you with your family. ”
Hearing the latter sentence, the girl's eyes suddenly lit up, and then they were annihilated again, and she said in a low voice: "Can you really reunite with my family?" But I don't remember when I was a child, I don't even remember my age, I don't remember where my parents and my home were. ”
Lin Jin sighed and said with a pleasant face: "Then think hard, think about it, what do you remember." Only if there is a clue, I can send you home, otherwise, this world is big, where can I go to find your family. ”
……
After a while, Lin Jin, who had found nothing, came out of the house and instructed Mama Tao: "It seems that the hope of helping her find her family is relatively slim, if my mother has time, teach her the rules, and if she can't find her family when she turns back, let her go to the house on an errand." ”
After arranging the girl's future, Lin Jin went to the West House in Baoxia again, where lived the one she saved on the Yuan Festival, thinking it was a woman, but it turned out to be a man's one, and she wanted him to help her take the imperial examination The "stand-in".
Because what she was going to talk about with him was very important, Lin Jin didn't bring Mama Tao. When I entered the house, I saw the man in women's clothes, sitting in front of the bookcase, practicing calligraphy in imitation of her handwriting.
Although Lin Jin had this plan, she didn't reveal the plan to this man who only let people call him "Xiaoliu" and refused to say anything else, even if she asked him to write according to her handwriting, it was another reason.
Seeing him sitting at the table, ignoring him, Lin Jin was a little angry and couldn't help but say, "Xiaoliu, although I don't want to inquire about your life experience, should you also give it to me?" Or what do you want to do, do you want to go, or stay, in short, there is a sentence, right? Otherwise, if you don't mention it in black and don't mention it in vain, you will rely on me to eat and drink for nothing, you know, I saved you, I don't know, and I think I owe you. ”
The man named Xiaoyanagi finished writing the words in his pen, and when he heard her words, he sneered, "Cut, as if I said to go, you just let me go." ”
Although Lin Jin did get inspiration from his disguise as a woman, so she had the idea of finding someone to replace her in the imperial examination, and the person in front of her was the first choice, but it didn't mean that she had only such a choice, so she retorted: "When did I say I wouldn't let you go?" Which eye did you see that I must keep you? The day after I saved you, I asked my Chang Sui, that is, Wang You, who bought you back, to tell you that as long as you give me the money I bought you, I will return the deed of sale to you, and then you can go wherever you want, but you refuse to leave, so you have to rely on me, right? It doesn't matter if you don't have any money, you can tell me where your home is, and then I can send you back or ask your family to send someone to pick you up.
Don't compare yourself with the little girl opposite, she was abducted when she was a child, so she can't remember when she was at home, so she can't go home, but yours is different. After buying you, Wang You inquired about your situation, you were abducted and sold before you met us, it is said that at that time, you also threatened to buy the bustard, and your hands, your skin, as well as your speech and demeanor, as well as your knowledge of food and clothing, all show that your family conditions were good, so, it stands to reason that your family will not even be unable to take out the money I bought, why don't you tell me?
Do you think I shouldn't ask you for this money? But the situation of your family shows that you can't take it out, and I'm not a charity, so if you can take it out, why don't I? Anyway, that's a few dozen taels of silver, almost my monthly money for two years, it's not easy for me to save some money, I didn't thank you for the gift, I just asked you for your worth of silver, I don't think it's wrong, why don't you agree? Is there anything you can't say about your family? ”
Xiao Yanagi was speechless when asked. After a long while, he said: "It's not that I don't want to give, but I ......" After hesitating, he spat out, "The situation at home is complicated, and I don't want to go home for the time being, so I want to stay on your side first." Don't worry, I won't eat for nothing, if there is anything I can do, just ask, I promise to do my best to do it for you. I'm not the kind of person who doesn't repay favors, as long as you need it, even if you take my life. ”
Although Xiaoyanagi's attitude is sincere, but he doesn't know his details, Lin Jin can't use it with confidence after all, after all, cheating in the imperial examination, but it's a big thing, one can't get it right, even if her life is worry-free, but she can't go to the official career, and she can't say that it will implicate Lin Ruhai, so she thought in her heart that before she didn't know his personal details, this Xiaoliu could only be an alternative, not the first choice, so she had to find someone else to choose.
Therefore, she glanced deeply at Koyanagi, who was convincing, did not respond to his sworn and frank words, did not continue to waste time on him, and turned away very simply. Leaving Mama Tao's house, she asked Wang Zuo and Wang You to find a way to inquire about Xiaoliu's identity. Although there are other options, I have to say that Koyanagi's appearance is too suitable to be her stand-in, so if it is possible, she still doesn't want to give up on him.
