He didn't understand the significance of Chunhe letting Duguyi go back to Beijing to secretly investigate the situation of these show girls, but he still put aside the matter of visiting Anyang Hou first, and immediately packed his bags and prepared to return to Beijing.

The days of autumn seem to pass faster and faster day by day.

Mrs. An didn't know how long it had been since she came to this worry-free town, and she was already preparing to return to Beijing.

And Mrs. An is going to take Qin Liusu and An Wenzhao away together. Although they were happy for Qin Liusu, they could imagine that Qin Liusu was going to be separated from him for a while, and An Wenxun and his wife still felt very reluctant.

The servants brought the carriage that Mrs. An had ridden when she returned from the capital.

This carriage is larger than that of ordinary people, enough to accommodate four or five people, and there is still a lot of space. It was as if Mrs. An had prepared in advance to return to Beijing together.

"Qin Liusu, the capital is not as good as our town, there are too many people outside who are not easy to mess with, you must remember not to go out and run around." Mrs. An, my Qin Liusu's hands entrusted her, and then turned her head and said to An Wenzhao:

"Zhao'er, my mother knows, you are smart and have a good brain, you must take care of your sister, don't make trouble, you know."

"Young master, young lady." Bilian also said to Qin Liusu reluctantly: "Miss, you have to take care of yourself, Bilian is waiting for you to come back." ”

After that, Qin Liusu and An Wenzhao saluted An Wenxun and his wife one by one, said goodbye, and listened to An Wenxun's instructions, and got into the carriage with the support of the maid.

With the sound of the driving guy "Drive!" And so they set off.

Ahn Wenxun looked at the carriage that was gradually moving away, and he couldn't say what he felt in his heart.

"Master, looking at this girl Qin Liusu, I think of our Tian'er." The appeaser couldn't help but say to An Wenxun.

An Wenxun glanced at Mrs. An, and couldn't help but sigh: "What Mrs. said is exactly what I thought." Ahn Wenxun sighed.

"It's just a pity that our Tian'er's life is too hard, maybe we don't have a chance with us as parents, otherwise we should be like Qin Liusu now, and grow into a big girl."

"When the master said this, I think Qin Liusu is quite similar to our Tian'er." Madame smiled.

"Madame thinks so, too?" Ahn Wenxun asked in surprise.

"Yes, sir. In addition to his temperament, he is still quite similar to us Tian'er between his eyebrows and eyes. Master, I met Aunt Li next door yesterday, she said, if she didn't know that Qin Liusu was our adopted daughter, she would have thought it was our own daughter! ”

"Madame, that's what I thought." An Wenxun also showed a relieved smile on his face: "Maybe this is why God knew that we lost Tian'er, so he gave Qin Liusu to us." ”

"Yes, sir."

The husband and wife chatted and chatted, and happily turned around and entered the door.

said that not long after An Wenxun and his wife entered the door and returned to the main hall, the little maid came to report that someone outside the door asked to see him, and it was a woman.

"Who did the woman say she was?" Ahn Wenxun asked.

"Back to the master, she only said that her surname was Shi, and if she had something important to ask the lord for help, she also asked the lord to let her meet and talk to the lord." After the little servant finished reporting, An Wenxun and his wife looked at each other after listening to it, and they were only curious.

"Then invite her in." And the little guy went.

When the little maid went to invite the woman, the woman came in later.

An Wenxun and his wife sat on the main hall, but they saw that she was wearing a Qin Liusu dress and cleaned herself up, but her thin face seemed to be hungry for a long time.

"The little woman dares to ask, but it is Master Hou An of Anyang who is seated." As soon as the woman came, she knelt down at the foot of the hall.

Seeing this scene, An Wenxun was a little at a loss, looked at his wife again, and replied to her: "Girl, who are you, just get up and talk, you don't need to kneel." So he got the woman to her feet, and ordered the servant to bring her a chair.

"Girl, please sit down, and tell the old man what is going on."

"The little girl's name is Shi Xuezhu, my family is just a small family, an ordinary scholarly family, my father ......" Shi Xuezhu sat down and first introduced his father to An Wenxun.

"In this way, your father's surname is Shi, but I don't know your father." Ahn Wenxun asked her to arrive.

"The little girl knows that Lord An may not know my father, but my father knows you. An Daren used to be an official in the court, so he must know the prime minister Chen Ping......" Shi Xuezhu explained to An Wenzhao the cousin relationship between his mother and Chen Ping.

"The old man does know him." An Wenxun nodded, but when he heard the name "Chen Ping", he couldn't help but recall a part of the past that he didn't want to mention.

"Lord An, my family has never interacted with that Chen Ping, but suddenly one day ......," Shi Xuezhu continued to talk about the relationship between her parents' death and Chen Ping.

"But I'm homeless now, and I can't avenge my parents." Speaking of this, Shi Xuezhu held back tears.

Hearing Shi Xuezhu say this, all An Wenxun could have was anger and sympathy, but after thinking about it, he said to Shi Xuezhu again:

"Miss Shi, the old man is deeply sympathetic to what happened to you, and the old man knows what kind of person Chen Ping is. It's just ......" An Wenxun hesitated a little, he paused, and then continued to say to Shi Xuezhu:

"It's just that the old man and that Chen Ping's old affairs involve some past events in my family that I don't want to mention anymore, how should I help you?"

When Shi Xuezhu heard this, he hurriedly said to An Wenxun: "Lord An, the little girl understands your distress. Before his death, my father told me that he hoped that I could live well, and if I really had to, let me come to a man named Anyang Hou and ask him for help. ”

"Don't worry, let's talk about it." Ahn Wenxun's subordinates brought her a cup of tea.

Shi Xuezhu took a sip of tea and continued: "Lord An, if Chen Ping knows that I am still alive now, he will definitely not let me go. ”

"What's the matter?" Ahn Wenxun asked.

"Enter the palace."

"Into the palace?" An Wenxun was a little incredible, he glanced at his wife, and asked Shi Xuezhu again: "Do you know what kind of place the palace is?" ”

"The little girl knows. Don't tell the adults that the little girl met a noble man before, and he told me that if I was desperate, I could find a way to enter the palace. Then we got separated for various reasons, and I couldn't reach him. That's why I thought of Lord An. The general election after the autumn is imminent, and I ask Lord An to help the little girl with this. ”

After saying that, Shi Xuezhu knelt down towards An Wenxun again.

"This ......" An Wenxun thought for a while and said to her: "I can help you with this favor, but you have to think clearly, once you enter a place like the palace, you may never be able to get out again." And everything in the palace must be careful, if you take a wrong step, you may die. ”

"Xuezhu knows, but Xuezhu is not afraid," Shi Xuezhu's eyes were firm, and she would definitely do what she decided.

"Okay, Miss Xuezhu, I promise you someone to give you the status of a local, and when the election day comes, you can enter the palace."

"Xuezhu, thank you, Lord An!" Xue Zhu bowed his head in thanks.

After running all the way, Mrs. An took An Wenzhao and Qin Liusu back to the capital smoothly.

At this time, the capital is very lively, and it seems to be much busier than in the past.

Qin Liusu, who had never seen such a scene, couldn't help but lift the curtain and look out the window: "Brother, this is the capital, it's so lively." ”

An Wenzhao, who heard this, couldn't help but glance out the window.

"It's strange, why haven't I ever seen it like this. Are they all welcoming me, hahaha. ”

"Brother, you're laughing again." Listen to Qin Liusu's joy.

"Silly boy, this is the emperor's expansion of the harem, and he is choosing a concubine." Mrs. An couldn't help but say.

"Choosing a concubine?" Hearing this, An Wenzhao and Qin Liusu both looked at Mrs. An in unison.

"Yes, the emperor is an adult, so naturally he wants to continue the descendants. As long as it is a girl from a good family, she can sign up for the election to enter the palace. No, almost all the young girls in the capital are here. ”

"I see." Qin Liusu nodded.

When they arrived at the house, a kind of maid and maid all came to wait, An Wenzhao and Qin Liusu got out of the carriage first, and then helped Mrs. An out of the car.

Some of the subordinates packed their luggage and led the carriage back to their places, while the other took the luggage and helped the follower Mrs. An into the house.

"Ah Xiang, you go and order someone to clean up a room for Qin Liusu in the West Garden. Ah Cai, you go and call Xiaoyun. ”

"Yes, old lady." I saw Ah Xiang and Ah Cai answer in unison.

After a while, Ah Xiang and Ah Cai came back together.

"Old lady, Xiaoyun has called over."

"Old lady, the Xiyuan room has been cleaned up."

"Okay." Mrs. An sat down slowly on crutches, and said to the maid Xiaoyun: "Xiaoyun, from now on, Qin Liusu girl is your master, you take her back to the room to rest first, don't run around, I will naturally let someone pass the word to you when it is time for dinner." ”

"Yes, old lady. Miss Qin Liusu, please come with me. So, Qin Liusu went with Xiaoyun.

When she arrived at the room, Xiaoyun helped Qin Liusu open the door, put her luggage in the cabinet and spread it, and re-covered the bed for her.

"Miss, your beds are all made, you can rest, Xiaoyun is waiting outside, you can call me if you need anything."

"Thank you, little ...... Cloud. Qin Liusu thanked Xiaoyun with a smile, but before she could finish speaking, Xiaoyun had already bowed out and closed the door for her.

Qin Liusu was a little dazed: "It turns out that not all maids are the same as Bilian. ”

looked at the room he lived in, it was indeed much larger than the Anyang Hou Mansion in Sanssouci Town. But although the room was large, it made her feel empty.

In contrast, she couldn't help but miss the warm home in Sanssouci Town.

Thinking that the old lady had told her not to run blindly, Qin Liusu felt extremely depressed staying in the room, she lay on the bed for a long time, and she was not sleepy.

After much thought, she got out of bed and quietly ran over and opened the door.

"Where is Miss going?" Xiaoyun was really guarding the door.

"I ...... The room was so stuffy that I wanted to come out and breathe. ”

Hearing this, Xiao Yun glanced inside the room, then walked in, opened all the windows, and left the doors open, and said to Qin Liusu:

"Miss, I have opened the doors and windows in the room to ventilate, there is a small garden in this West Garden, if Miss feels bored, the slave can take you over for a walk."

"That's good, wow, I'll trouble you Xiaoyun." After that, he followed Xiaoyun to the garden in front.

The garden in Fangfu Capital also has a different atmosphere from Sanssouci Town, although this is only a small garden in Xiyuan.

If he hadn't seen this garden with his own eyes, Qin Liusu would never have thought that Anyang Hou and his wife would not live in a big mansion like the capital, but would be very happy to live in the relatively small mansion in Sanssouci Town.

"The house in the capital is so big, why does my father and mother go back to live separately from the old lady?" For this question that suddenly arose, Qin Liusu thought about it and said it unconsciously, Xiaoyun couldn't help but glance at her.

"Xiaoyun."

"The slave is here."

"Xiaoyun...... You really don't have to be so polite to me, I ...... I'm not used to this, you just treat me like an ordinary person, or...... Sisters, it's okay to be like sisters. Qin Liusu said to Xiaoyun a little anxiously.

"Miss, this is the rule of the house, the rules set by the old lady, the slave must follow it, and you can't be disrespectful to the young lady." Xiao Yun only lowered his head slightly, bowed and said coldly to Qin Liusu.
