Three months later.

Qian'an City at the end of November, I don't know if it is because of the recent years, it is very lively, from outside the city to the city, walked for more than half an hour, not more than a few kilometers away from the city gate.

Or without checking.

Ye Zi lifted the curtain to look at the crowded streets, and muttered in a low voice: "The last time I came, Qian'an City was still very deserted, but in half a year, there were so many people. ”

Lin Miao looked outside and said nothing.

Huang Haixin, the former county guard of Qian'an City, and his uncle Pang Tianming were punished, and their homes were searched for millions of taels of silver.

This is just a small county town, how far do you have to exploit the common people to save so much silver?

This money, which Lin Miao thought should be returned to the people, was taken away by the imperial court.

That's it, the people also rejoiced, praised the court, and completely forgot that this was what they should do.

Alas!

Ye Zi lowered the curtain, retracted her gaze, looked at Lin Miao and asked, "Girl, in the morning, the slave maid heard from Mother Wang that Old Madam Xie was a little uncomfortable, did you show her?" ”

Lin Miao shook her head, it is normal for her to be uncomfortable when she is old and rides in a carriage every day.

Because of the two of them, she was delayed for a long time.

Along the way, the two elderly people either want to stay for two days to see the local scenery, or they are uncomfortable and need to rest for two days.

If it weren't for the fact that they were Xiuling's maternal grandparents, she would have wanted to part ways with them.

Ye Zi didn't know Lin Miao's thoughts, but she had been a maid since she was a child, and she knew how to observe words and feelings, and when she saw her shaking her head, her face was a little uneasy, so she hurriedly changed the topic and asked, "Girl, should we still live in the Four Seasons Inn?" ”

Lin Miao had a good impression of the Four Seasons Inn, but now that it was almost dusk, and there were so many people entering the city, there might not be any empty rooms.

"Let's go and see first, and live in a room if there's one,"

As Lin Miao thought, the Four Seasons Inn was already full, and the shopkeeper said to Lin Miao helplessly: "Girl, we don't have a room in the store, you better go to another house to have a look." ”

Because he was prepared, Lin Miao didn't force it, smiled and nodded and turned to leave.

She had barely walked a few steps when she heard a few consecutive sounds, wait.

Although I didn't think it was calling myself, I still looked at it curiously.

As a result, it was actually called her.

Jiang Wencheng Lin Miao, the shopkeeper of the Four Seasons Inn, had seen it, but he had forgotten it.

In front of her, a middle-aged man wearing a round-necked robe with dark trim royal blue sprinkled satin, she asked with her eyes: Who are you? What are you looking for me?

I don't know if I understood Lin Miao's eyes, Jiang Wencheng said: "Girl, the contemptible person is Jiang Wencheng, the shopkeeper of the Four Seasons Inn, and I have been waiting for the girl for a long time." ”

"Waiting for me? Is it the wrong person? Lin Miao didn't think she was so famous.

"Can't be wrong, can't be wrong, the girl stayed with the Ninth Princess last time, and the contemptible people are very impressed by the girl."

It seems that he didn't recognize the wrong person.

Lin Miao glanced Jiang Wencheng up and down, and asked, "You said you were waiting for me, but what's the matter?" ”

Do you want to give her a back door and then stammer Ah Jiu through her?

It's impossible to stutter, should she pretend to be stupid? It's not that you don't give money anyway.

Jiang Wencheng didn't know what Lin Miao was thinking, he opened his mouth and was about to speak, when he saw someone coming in, he hurriedly made a gesture of invitation and led Lin Miao aside.

That is, next to the counter.

The bookkeeper who was standing at the counter hurriedly withdrew and gave up the space to Jiang Wencheng and Lin Miao.

"Girl, General Du knows that you will stay in the small shop, let the contemptible people pay attention, and when you see the girl, let the girl go to the county guard mansion to find him."

"General Du?" Lin Miao's mind flashed, her blank expression dissipated, and she said in surprise: "Du Ziteng? Is he still in Qian'an City? ”

"General Du temporarily took the post of county guard, waiting for the county guard appointed by the imperial court to be in place."

Lin Miao nodded in understanding, waited for a while and didn't see Jiang Wencheng have anything else, knowing that the back door was gone, he turned around and walked out with a little disappointment.

Winter nights come early, but after a short pause, it's dark outside.

The whistling north wind mixed with the footsteps of passers-by came into Lin Miao's ears, and she raised her eyes to look at the sky, the curved crescent moon accompanied by a little starry star, beautiful.

Mother Wang, who was beside Mrs. Xie, saw Lin Miao coming out, stepped forward and asked, "Girl, is this store full?" The old lady is tired, can you add money to him and let him free up a few rooms? ”

Lin Miao didn't answer, raised her feet and walked down the stairs, walking straight towards the carriage of Xie Haonan and his wife.

Groom: "Hello girl. ”

Lin Miao smiled slightly, lifted the curtain and looked inside, and said, "Grandpa Xie, this store is full, and now it's difficult to find a store that can accommodate so many of us, we may need to go to the county guard mansion for one night." ”

"The Castle?" Xie Haonan's brows furrowed into a Sichuan character, "Who do you know in the county guard's mansion?" Will it affect people? ”

Although Xie Haonan is a marquis, he is simple, not in the capital, and has not had any acquaintances in the imperial court for so many years, so he doesn't know anything about the current situation in Qian'an City.

"I don't know if it will have an impact, I don't know him well, but someone told me that he was looking for me, and since he was looking for me, there should be something."

If you have something to ask her and arrange for her to stay, it should be, Lin Miao thought so.

"Then go ahead, if not, find another place." Xie Hao South Road.

Lin Miao nodded: "Okay, let's go to the county guard's mansion." ”

Because it was night and the road was unfamiliar, it was already close to dawn when Lin Miao and his party arrived outside the county guard's mansion.

The county guard of Qian'an City is different from that of Chunling, and there are two rows of officers and soldiers standing at the door, wearing large swords at their waists, and their eyes are like torches.

Xie Fu's entourage got Lin Miao's instructions and stepped forward to express his intentions.

The official glanced at the four carriages that had stopped next to him and said, "Wait a minute." ”

After a while, the official walked to Lin Miao's carriage with a lantern and a portrait, and said, "Please ask the girl surnamed Lin to get out of the car and verify her identity." ”

Lin Miao got out of the carriage very obediently, calmly comparing with him.

Finally, the official said, "Girl, please get into the carriage, the general has arranged a place for you to live." ”

"Are all of us arranged?" Lin Miao asked.

"Yes, as early as a month ago, the general ordered to pack up the two courtyards and wait for your arrival."

I didn't have to ask for the desired result, I have to say that it is very pleasant, that is...

This kind of treatment is also very disturbing, she and Du Ziteng only have a one-sided relationship, and they are not even friends.

Is there any plan to give her such a high salary?

When Lin Miao shook his head, the gate of the county guard's mansion had already opened.

Seeing that Lin Miao didn't react, Ye Zi reached out and pulled her sleeve, and whispered, "Girl, get in the car." ”

Lin Miao nodded, anyway, he plans to live here, live first, and talk about it tomorrow.
