As soon as the two children saw Sun Xi coming back, they rushed over with joy and shouted "brother" in unison.

Probably hearing the screams, a woman came out of the room, who looked to be in her thirties, and her clothes were also very bad, but her figure and face were not very bad.

The woman's eyes first stared at her own children, and then she saw Zhuang Siyan and them, and hurriedly came over and asked, "How many sons are ......?" ”

Sun Xi was very clever, and said first: "Mother, this is a roast goose, these sons gave it to us, you can take it and heat it up for your younger brothers and sisters."

My clothes are torn, and if you see if there is anything else I can wear, find me one, and I will have to return it to someone. ”

When the woman heard this, she thanked Zhuang Siyan first, and then went into the inner room, and after a while, she came out of it, and had an old cotton coat of an adult in her hand, let Sun Xi change into it, took the cloak in his hand, looked at the snow on it and said, "Childe, or I'll wash you and ...... again."

Zhuang Siyan reached out and took the cloak: "No need, but this kid of yours is quite clever, has he read?" ”

The woman glanced at Sun Xi, and still said honestly: "I read a little bit before, but then his father died, so I stopped reading it." ”

In this way, it is clear that it is estimated that this family was not bad before, but the man died first, and the remaining orphans and widows became poorer and poorer.

It's just that this family seems to be knowledgeable, and even the children are smart, so Zhuang Siyan wants to help them.

Then he asked, "Does he have something to do?" ”

The woman shook her head: "He is still young, he just wants to do things, and no one uses him." ”

Zhuang Siyan smiled and asked her: "I don't have an errand boy by my side, I wonder if the eldest sister is willing to let him follow me?" ”

When the woman heard this, she was stunned.

Instead, it was Sun Xi who pounced directly and knelt down to kowtow to Zhuang Siyan: "Thank you, son, I am willing." ”

As soon as this matter was said, Zhuang Siyan didn't think much about it, and immediately paid a few taels of silver with the Sun family, which was regarded as an advance of Sun Xi's salary, and then took the person away.

She handed the person to Qinglin and said, "Take him to buy two sets of change of clothes, send them to my house and wait, I'll come over later." ”

Over there, Qingshi had already dealt with the affairs of several wild children, came back to recover his life, and followed Zhuang Siyan and them to Wen Qing's house.

In the afternoon, Zhuang Siyan returned to his house, and before he entered the house, he was intercepted by Qinglin first and went to the side hall to talk.

"This kid has some backgrounds." Qinglin spoke.

Zhuang Siyan was a little surprised and asked him: "I think he is quite clever, how did you make a statement?" ”

Her focus made Qinglin stunned for a moment, and said with a smile: "No matter how clever you are, you are also a child, I always have my way, you have to keep him by your side, I have to find him out, otherwise if there is anything wrong at that time, how can we explain to Mr. Wen?" ”

Zhuang Siyan didn't ask about this anymore, only asked Sun Xi what the origin was.

Qinglin said: "His father may not be dead, it is likely that he is still alive." ”

"And then?"

Qinglin lowered the volume a little lower: "This family's surname is Sun, this kid's name is Sun Xi, his father's name is Sun Youhe, and he used to be from Luo Ke's mansion." ”

Zhuang Siyan's eyes lit up suddenly: "Really? Have you confirmed this? ”

Qinglin nodded: "When Luo Ke didn't fall, his family conditions were not bad, and this could be heard from his tone."

And he often goes to Luo's Mansion to play, which shows that his father's status in Luo's Mansion is not low, and ordinary children's children can't enter the door of the main house. ”

Zhuang Siyan asked: "Then how can you tell that his father is not dead?" ”

Qinglin: "Their original house is not far from Luo's house, and it is also a big house, before Luo Ke fell, they sold the house and moved to the current place." ”

In this way, things are complicated, could it be that Sun Youhe also knew early on that the Locke family was going to fall, so he arranged it in advance?

But if it's arranged in advance, why not arrange the family to a good place, but arrange it to such a place?

Qinglin hesitated for a moment, and said softly: "Mr. Si and Mr. Wen will calculate it again, whether to check this Luo Mansion again." ”

Zhuang Siyan also pondered this in his heart.

Luo Ke committed suicide at that time and died in his own home, which many people know, and there should be no fake.

And Luo Ke's death brought life to his family, and Ling Tiancheng did not hold his family accountable, and sent them all back to their homeland.

It stands to reason that the servants in Luo's Mansion will not be embarrassed, and the big deal is to go home separately and find another job to do.

Why did Sun Youhe make such a move?

She didn't speak again, went to see Sun Xi, and told him to stay in the house for a few days first, follow the people inside to learn and do things, and when she was almost done, she followed Zhuang Siyan.

It can be seen that Sun Xi cherishes this errand very much, and kowtows to Zhuang Siyan to thank him.

But as soon as he turned his head, Zhuang Siyan instructed Ah Si to keep an eye on Sun Xi.

The door of the mansion can be opened, allowing him to come and go freely, but where he goes, what he does has to be watched carefully, don't act privately if there is something, report it to Zhuang Siyan first.

Ah Si has been living in the Si Mansion since this incident came out, and he is still responsible for teaching Sun Xi how to work at this time, so it is naturally not a problem to monitor him.

This is arranged, and while it is not dark, Zhuang Siyan took Qingshi and them to the street again.

The boys who had been cleaned up by him before didn't dare to come out again in the afternoon, but they didn't feel comfortable being hungry, so they didn't go up to the street again in the evening.

As soon as he saw the bluestone from afar, he ran away.

Bluestone stepped out and quickly intercepted them.

Those children have been beaten, and they know that they are not his opponents, and the bad guys are also mixed with the rivers and lakes, and the reason why heroes don't suffer immediate losses understands it.

As soon as his legs bent, he knelt down: "Master, spare us, we are also looking for something to eat, and we really haven't done anything hurtful." ”

At a young age, Qingshi also felt funny when he said a set of words, so he called the biggest one in front of him and asked, "How old are you?" ”

"Fifteen." When the boy had finished speaking, he begged him again to spare himself.

Qingshi said unhurriedly: "It's okay to let you go, but my son-in-law wants to invite you to a meal, and by the way, I will inquire about something." ”

Although these children are young, they have been running outside for a long time and have seen a little bit of the world.

First he said that he would invite them to dinner, and he was shocked, and then he heard that he was asking about himself, but he was a little relieved, and hurriedly said: "We must tell you a word for what we know." ”

Half an hour later, a group of several people booked a room in a restaurant at the end of the street, and set up a table with all kinds of hot dishes.

"Eat." Zhuang Siyan said, with a kind face: "When you are full, my son will ask again, but I have something to say first, if I don't say it, I can beat the food you ate until I spit it out." ”

The children glanced at each other, but they didn't resist the temptation of food, and they were too hungry, so they opened their bellies and ate first.

After another half an hour, the dishes on the table were already in ruins, and the children were also satisfied after eating.

The boss who took the lead was still a little bit of a Jianghu flavor, looked at Zhuang Siyan and asked, "May I ask if Childe has anything to ask?" ”

Zhuang Siyan Ming said: "Ask if you know the person you chased this afternoon." ”

The boss waved his hand: "I know, Sun Xi, his father is Sun Youhe, he used to be an errand in Luo's Mansion, but he is majestic." ”

"Then you still dare to bully him, aren't you afraid that his father will settle accounts with you?"

"Hey, his dad died early."

After saying this, the little boss of the rivers and lakes glanced at Zhuang Siyan's body again, and asked with some hesitation: "Isn't Childe from Kyoto City?" Don't even know about the Locke family? ”

Zhuang Siyan smiled: "I'm from Kyoto, but I only work in business, and I don't know much about the affairs of the official family, so I asked you about it." ”

Saying this, the little boss of the rivers and lakes was proud, and told Zhuang Siyan all the bureaucratic families he knew in Kyoto City.

In the end, he sighed: "It's not easy to mix with our business, there are officials everywhere in Kyoto City, and we don't dare to do anything to them, as for a rich businessman like you, Childe, there are many means to make us disappear, and we can only bully the weak and find something to eat." ”

Zhuang Siyan laughed when he heard what he said.

The little boss also smiled, and then said: "There is another place in this city, which is more suitable for us, but we are not good at martial arts, and we have no foundation, so we can only think about it." ”

Zhuang Siyan asked logically: "Where?" ”

The little boss said, "Mr. Wen! ”

As soon as he said this, not only Zhuang Siyan's expression was awe-inspiring, but even the face of Qingshi Qingran at the door changed.

Wen Qing is very low-key in Kyoto City, except for Ling Tiancheng, there are also these frequent contacts, few people know about his existence, and few people have seen him.

But I didn't expect that a child wandering on the street would mention his name.

Zhuang Siyan is also a veteran after all, and he was only shocked, secretly thinking that Wen Qing's confidentiality work was not very good, and his expression had returned to normal.

looked at the little boss and asked, "I haven't heard of this person, tell me, where is he doing?" ”

The little boss leaned forward, suppressed his voice and said, "I heard that he specializes in taking in people from the rivers and lakes and doing something particularly secret and quick to make money."

Those people are all dragons who don't see the head and the tail, and the killing knives are faster than others, so it would be nice if a few of us could go too. ”

Zhuang Siyan asked quietly, "Have you seen him?" ”

The little boss shook his head: "No, who can see him, even his subordinates have never seen it, just the name of Mr. Wen, I still overheard, and ordinary people don't know." ”

"Unintentionally? Where did you hear that? ”

The little boss pointed outside and said: "There is a Taichang Temple in the east of the city, where the incense is good, although it is a little far from here, but sometimes we can't find food, we also go there to have a look, see if we can find some."

Just the other day, when we were going, we heard someone mention it.

To tell you the truth, we have been inquiring recently to see where Mr. Wen lives and if we can take refuge. ”

Zhuang Siyan smiled: "As you said, what he did was killing people, it may not be suitable for you, that kind of day, money comes quickly, life goes faster, you are still young, think about other tricks may be better." ”
