Chapter 44 Notices

The capital gathers the essence of a country, magnificent and brilliant atmosphere, all the way to see the traffic, bright lights, on both sides of the street are full of teahouses, taverns, pawnshops, workshops. There are also many small vendors with large oil umbrellas in the open spaces on both sides of the street. There are constantly pedestrians on the street, some are carrying burdens and hurrying to the road, some are driving to deliver goods, some are rushing to the market, and there are also passers-by who stop to enjoy the scenery. Lin Meili and her entourage looked at the bustling streets and alleys in front of them from the window of the carriage.

"Sister Meili, look at the many papers like this posted here and there are many on this road." Ding Xiaojiang had already gotten out of the carriage and was scurrying around, and he didn't know where he got the missing person notice.

Lin Meili took a look at it and thought: It seems that the pair of sisters and brothers are not lying, they are really the children of the Zhenguo family, there are several missing notices with different dates painted with the portraits of the two sisters and brothers, the earliest date of the notice has been more than a month ago, the most important thing is that the bounty has risen from 10,000 taels of silver to 50,000 taels of silver, and it is a loss, and he only asked for 500 taels of silver at the beginning, although later the tsundere woman said that they would be priced at 5,000 taels of silver. Fortunately, there is a small craftsman and a leather monkey scurrying around today and found this missing person notice, which is all real money. After thinking for a while, Lin Meili tore up all the other missing person notices, leaving only the most expensive notice of 50,000 taels carefully folded and put it in her arms, and said to the driver outside the car with full anger: "Give me the fastest speed to go to the Zhenguo Mansion immediately." ”

Not long after, the carriage stopped in front of a towering mansion, the red wall is high tile, the plaque above the vermilion lacquer gate is written with the four big characters of "Zhenguo Gongfu", the gesture is majestic and powerful, it seems to have the air of Zheng Zheng iron bones. The stone lions on both sides of the gate are angry and angry at first glance. I saw two figures suddenly jumping down from the carriage behind which had not yet stopped, and suddenly rushed to the gate, knocking on the thick door with both hands, and repeating in his mouth: "Open the door, open the door!" ”

After a while, the door slowly opened, and it was an old man who opened the door, and after seeing the appearance of the person who knocked on the door, the old man excitedly shouted directly inside: "Someone! Come on! The eldest lady and the youngest master are back! Then the three men disappeared from everyone's eyes.

Seeing this scene, Ding Xiaojiang asked on the side, "Sister Meili, what should you do next?" ”

"Wait, someone will invite us in." Lin Meili pouted.

In a carriage behind, the Li brothers and Lin Zicong were chatting, imagining the next good life in the capital.

After waiting for a long time, Lin Meili thought that she had met Lao Lai this time. Just as she was about to signal Ding Xiaojiang to knock on the door with the missing person notice, a corner door opened, and a middle-aged man dressed as a housekeeper came out, and said directly with a high spirit: "Grandpa Guo, please come in." In fact, there were many passers-by who rushed out of the carriage to knock on the door, after all, the two children were missing from the Zhenguo family, and everyone in the streets and alleys knew about it.

Lin Meili took Ding Xiaojiang, and Lin Zicong and the Li family brothers in the carriage behind them also got out of the car together, and entered this majestic mansion with the housekeeper. You don't need to imagine how brilliant it is, small bridges and flowing water, rockery pavilions and pavilions are the most basic configurations. The five of them did not speak, but silently followed the middle-aged butler into a palatial hall, which should be a place usually used to entertain guests.

I saw a middle-aged man sitting at the top of the hall, Feng Yi was graceful, although he was old, he still had a handsome face, his eyes were like paint, and he was dressed in black brocade, this should be the prince of Zhenguo. Looking at the woman sitting next to him is graceful and luxurious, with picturesque eyebrows and exquisite makeup, the two look very compatible, Lin Meili guessed that this is the Duchess of Zhenguo.

Standing next to each of them was the pair of sisters and brothers who had already been re-washed and dressed up, and the two sisters and brothers had long since lost the embarrassment and dust they had fled, and now they looked a little like a little boy under the Guanyin seat.

Seeing these five young people, Zhenguo Gong took the lead in speaking: "Thank you for helping my two sons and daughters. ”

The Duchess of Zhenguo also nodded with a smile on the side and agreed: "Yes, I also heard from Yan'er that this Miss Lin in particular has some medical skills and has taken care of my little son personally." ”

When Lin Meili heard the other party call her name, she also stood up generously and said: "The little boy is innocent and kind, with a pure heart, I really can't bear to see him suffer from illness at that time. ”

It was rare to hear someone praise their youngest son so much, and the two people at the top were very happy, and they hurriedly asked these young people to sit down, and the people next to them also brought tea and snacks with great eyes. Zhen Guogong also chatted with Lin Zicong and the Li brothers about the imperial examination. The Duchess of Zhenguo let Lin Meili go to her, inserted a hairpin on her head into Lin Meili's hair and said: "This hairpin was given to me by the Queen Mother when I got married that day, and I will transfer it to you today." Lin Meili didn't expect a small hairpin to have such an unusual origin.

The tsundere girl pulled the Duchess of Zhenguo with some taste, and said coquettishly in her arms: "Mother, you are the most eccentric, I begged you for this hairpin for a long time and didn't give it to me." ”

Duchess Zhenguo looked at the lost daughter in her arms, and said with a doting face: "Silly child, this time thanks to the life-saving grace of others, otherwise where would my mother go to find your sister and brother." After saying that, his eyes were red. The movement here obviously attracted the attention of Zhen Guogong, only to hear him say again: "You all come from afar, you must be very tired, I have asked the housekeeper to arrange a guest room for you, go down first and have a good rest, I will set up a reception banquet for you in the evening." ”

After all, they had just arrived in the capital, they were not familiar with the place, and now living in the Zhenguo Mansion is undoubtedly the best arrangement, so they all went to the guest house with the housekeeper, and the housekeeper was no longer as arrogant as before, and he specially confessed that he had sent someone to make the corresponding arrangements for the coachman and the entourage.
