Yingge wiped the corners of her eyes with her sleeve, "Childe, really?" ”

Hua Chen looked at Yingge with a firm gaze, "We will make an appointment for seven days, and after your father's first seven, I will take you home." After speaking, he looked at the corner of the street, "Isn't there a gentleman coming to the inn there, and when your father is in the ground, you will live there first." ”

He also instructed Zhao Bo beside him, "You help Yingge take care of her father's afterlife, and then go home after you finish it." ”

"Yes, Fourth Young Master." Zhao Bo responded.

Everything was arranged, and Yingge bent down again and kowtowed to Hua Chen three times.

The crowd of onlookers also dispersed, but they did not forget to praise Hua Chen.

Hua Chen turned to leave, and urged Chen Han behind him: "Go back quickly, my sister will be worried about being late." ”

Chen Han hurriedly followed behind his young master and felt extremely proud, "Fourth young master, those people have praised you for being a warm heart." ”

Hua Chen finally smiled, only to feel that all the unhappiness he encountered in the blacksmith shop today had disappeared.

"Chen Han, it turns out that I really have some use."

"Fourth Young Master, you have good intentions, and you will definitely be a person who will make great achievements in the future."

…………

Yan Ran quickly ran into the east wing of Hongxun Courtyard, opened the curtain and entered the east room, "Fifth girl, the carriage of the fourth young master has entered the east corner gate." ”

Hua Jin looked at the sky outside, put on his cloak and walked out of the house quickly with the white peach.

Not long after walking out of Hongxun Courtyard, I saw Hua Chen, who was also in a hurry, and walked over to her and smiled, "Sister, my brother came back late today." ”

Hua Jin smiled back, "Don't worry, my father and mother have already gone to Zhaohui Courtyard to ask for peace, I will stay and wait for you." ”

In this huge deep house, there is always someone waiting for him, Hua Chen's heart warmed, and his smile deepened, "Sister, I have two news to tell you." ”

My brother returned an hour later than usual today, and Hua Jin already expected that he must have encountered something on the road, but he just remained silent at this time, "Brother, what is the news?" ”

The maid and the little maid who followed behind him, seeing that the two masters had changed from their hurried steps just now to walking slowly, couldn't help but slow down their pace and followed from a distance.

"Sister, someone has already promised to help me go to Leling to inquire about the news."

"Really?" Hua Jin looked sideways at his brother and felt that his face looked particularly vivid under the sunset.

"Hmm." Hua Chen nodded, "It's Gongzi Xuan, he happened to be going to Leling, so I asked her." ”

Xuan Gongzi again?

Hua Jin had an intuition that the purpose of that Xuan Gongzi coming here to study was by no means simple.

As for what the purpose was, Hua Jin couldn't guess for a while, "Does my brother want to be good friends with Xuan Gongzi?" ”

Hearing his sister ask like this, Hua Chen stuck out his tongue in embarrassment, "I think so, but Master Xuan is always alone." He deliberately concealed the fact that he went to the blacksmith, in order to one day really build a deep cultivator and surprise his sister.

"Then when Gongzi Xuan comes back from Leling, my brother will thank you well. In this way, if you have a friendship, you will naturally become friends. ”

"Sister, that's a great idea." Hua Chen smiled and his eyebrows widened, but he paused, and finally changed the topic, "Just now...... I saved a guy on the street. ”

"Who did my brother save?" Hua Jin couldn't help but look at Hua Chen, seeing that he had already suppressed his smile, and it was even a little deep.

"On the way back from the academy, I met a little girl of the same age as us, who was selling her body to bury her father."

Is there really such a drama?

"I saw that she was really pitiful, so I gave her fifty taels of silver tickets, and wanted to buy her to be a slave in our house."

Huajin Forehead ...... Fifty taels? As far as she knew, it only cost five taels of silver to buy a maid in this era.

But after giving fifty taels of silver, he was willing to enter the house to be a maid, no matter how he thought about it, it was not logical.

She just asked quietly: "Brother, do you know that to enter the mansion as a slave is to have a slave status, and the number of slaves and maids of noble families like us is also customized. ”

Hua Chen nodded, "I know, that's why I let the lonely girl bury her father first, and then come back to discuss with my sister, I know that my sister will definitely help." ”

My brother is so old-fashioned and warm-hearted, Hua Jin is happy.

It's just that I can't help but be conflicted in my heart......

She didn't want her brother to see the pickled things caused by the backyard infighting in this era.

However, in order to grow, you have to accept the imperfections you encounter in the process of growing up.

If you see this world as too simple and beautiful, how will my brother gain fame and even gain a foothold in the court in the future?

"Brother, I'm not sure if I'm going to be able to help with this favor. The middle feed in this house is now in the hands of the eldest aunt, even if it is Honghun Courtyard, now it is the stepmother and Du's mother who have the final say. Hua Jin paused, "And that girl, we don't know where she came from, whether her net worth is innocent, and whether it will affect her brother's reputation." ”

Is it innocent? Reputational impact?

"Sister, you ......" Hua Chen couldn't help but look at his sister who was walking beside him, wearing a golden and red feather satin cloak, and recalled Yingge who was kneeling on the ground with a patch on her body.

He almost forgot that she was the daughter of the Hou Mansion who was raised in the boudoir, and she had limited opportunities to even step out of the second door, where did she understand the suffering of the people.

He almost forgot that people here are to be divided into dignity and inferiority, three, six, nine, etc., where can my sister know that in that era a few years later, the pursuit of equality for all is to be equal.

It turned out that only he thought he had done a good deed, and others thought he was causing trouble.

Hua Chen only felt as if something heavy had been pressed on his heart, and if he wanted to preach, he finally swallowed it back when he saw Hua Jin's little face that was so cold that he puffed up.

Can he change the ingrained traditional thinking of this era?

…………

It has reached ten points in the palm of the lamp, and two red lanterns are hung high on the lintel of the Zhangfu in Taiping Lane, reflecting the whole alley with joy.

In the large kitchen of the public middle school in the house, the maids were in an endless stream, and they all carried food boxes and various dishes back to serve the owners of the house.

Zhitao and Yanran carried a food box into the east wing of Hongxun Courtyard, and put eight dishes, two porridges and two dim sum on the Huanghuali round-legged kang table in the east room.

Hua Jin sat on the big kang near the window, looking at the exquisite dishes arranged by the two, but he sketched in his mind the picture of the girl he met on the street and sold himself to bury his father.

She even mimics every word, every movement, and every eye contact in her mind.

After savoring it, the woman's intuition told her that the one called Yingge was not so simple, and her purpose was even more pure.

But who can trust her speculations and suspicions based on intuition alone?
