Xia Yuan gently helped Lan Ling up.

After reluctantly getting up, the little girl broke free of Xia Yuan's hand with a slight force, staggered back, ignored the pain in her body, bent down deeply and bowed, "Thank you Xia Gongzi for helping." ”

Looking at the little girl in front of him who was crumbling and still giving a serious salute, Xia Yuan took her hand and entered a breath of aura. Lan Ling only felt a warm current coming from Xia Yuan's hand, and the pain slowly disappeared where he passed, and his strength quickly recovered.

"Little girl, where do you live? I'll take you home. ”

Lan Ling shook his head and looked down at the box in his arms, "Young Master Xia, thank you for helping me, I still have something to do, so I won't go home for the time being." ”

"You're going to the jewelry store, I'll give you a ride, don't refuse, you don't want to be embarrassed again." ”

Accompanying Lan Ling to walk slowly towards the jewelry store, Xia Yuan spoke: "Little girl, your name is Lan Ling, I'll call you Xiaolan." As for you, don't call me Gongzi anymore, call me Young Master Yuan. ”

Lan Ling lowered his head and replied as he walked with the box in his arms, "Got it, Young Master Yuan." ”

Entering the jewelry store, the shopkeeper was a short and fat old man, he saw Lan Ling, who was in a mess, walking in, and hurriedly stepped forward, "Ling'er, what's wrong?"

Lan Ling gave a salute to the shopkeeper and handed him the box, "Grandpa Xu, I'm fine, you can test this work." ”

"Is it really okay?" Boss Xu said suspiciously, and looked at Xia Yuan who was standing beside Lan Ling.

Xia Yuan smiled and said, "A few splashes bullied Xiaolan, and now it's fine." Lan Ling also spoke: "It was this Young Master Yuan who helped me, and now it's okay, Grandpa Xu." ”

Boss Xu nodded, "It's okay." He walked to the counter with the box, put the box on the counter and opened it, and the box contained more than a dozen hairpins of various materials and styles.

Boss Xu inspected them one by one, inspected a few, and couldn't help but praise: "Ling'er, your craftsmanship is getting better and better." ”

Looking at the exquisitely crafted hairpins, Xia Yuan was also secretly surprised. I started to hear that Lan Ling was taking a job in a jewelry store, thinking that she was just making some rough jewelry, but I didn't expect this little girl to really have good craftsmanship, and I couldn't help but think in my heart.

"This batch of jobs is fine, it is better than expected. Ling'er, you get more high-end materials this time, and make more high-end goods, your craft has already passed. ”

Lan Ling bit her lip and lowered her head, and when Boss Xu finished speaking, she whispered, "I'm sorry, Grandpa Xu, I don't take the job." Boss Xu looked surprised, "Ling'er, what's wrong?"

"Grandpa Xu, you have been taking care of Ling'er, don't charge me a deposit for materials, and give me a job. Thanks to Grandpa Xu in the past two years, my mother and I have been able to survive. Lan Ling bowed deeply to Boss Xu.

"I borrowed loan sharks last winter, and now a group of pimples come to collect debts every day, and today they almost robbed this box of jewelry. This time it was Young Master Yuan who helped me, and I don't know if I can keep it next time. I'm not taking jobs anymore, Grandpa Xu, please forgive me. ”

Boss Xu is just an ordinary businessman, and when it comes to usury and splashing, he has no choice but to accept Lan Ling's proposal. He sighed, "How good an honest man your father was back then, he gave his life so inexplicably, Ling'er, you are so filial and capable, and now it is the same, the world is unfair!"

"What are you going to do in the future, Ling'er?" asked Boss Xu with a concerned face.

"I'm going to leave Guning City and go to other cities, I have the skills, and I should be able to get by. ”

Boss Xu sighed for a while, settled the manual fee of three taels and five coins of silver for Lan Ling, and then stuffed her with thirty taels of silver, "Ling'er, you can take these thirty taels of silver." I know you're stubborn, and I won't give you much, but you must take these thirty taels. Two generations of your family have worked in my shop, and Ling'er I watched you grow up. Now that you're gone, I don't know when we'll see you again. It's hard to go out, anything can happen, you have to accept this silver, so that my old man can rest assured. ”

Lan Ling insisted on not accepting it, crying and said: "Grandpa Xu, you are a good person, you have helped our family too much, I can't accept this silver, don't embarrass me." ”

Seeing that the old and the young pushed each other, Xia Yuanqing coughed and interjected: "I have a suggestion, you stop and listen." Lan Ling and Boss Xu both quieted down and looked at Xia Yuan blankly, not knowing what advice this young master had.

"Xiaolan, I have seen your craftsmanship, it is very good, I am about to find an assistant, you come to be my assistant, and I don't have to worry about my life and safety in the future. Boss Xu, I am a child of the Xia family in the city, you can rest assured of what I say. ”

"Young Master Yuan, what are you going to do if you asked me to be my assistant?" Lan Ling knew that Xia Yuan was a cultivator and had helped him, but he didn't doubt his identity, and directly asked about his doubts.

"Refining some handicrafts into rough embryos, similar to your jewelry, is to leave Guning City, and I will work in Ping'an Town. ”

It didn't matter if he left Gu Ning City, Lan Ling heard that he was competent for the job, so he agreed. With this result, Boss Xu was also relieved.

Leaving the jewelry store, the two of them first went to Lan Ling's house to pack up their things, mainly some tools and daily necessities for work. Then the two went to the inn booked by Xia Yuan, and opened a room for Lan Ling.

Xia Yuan told Lan Ling to leave Guning City early the day after tomorrow, and asked her to take advantage of the day before she had one more day to think carefully about what else was missing.

Lan Ling asked Xia Yuan hesitantly, "Young Master Yuan, can you advance some wages." ”

"Okay, is this enough?" Xia Yuan took out a pile of silver from the storage bag, "You won't be stupid enough to pay off the loan shark." ”

"It's not about repaying loan sharks, I borrowed twenty taels at the beginning, and I have already repaid them thirty-five taels, and they still robbed the jewelry box, I won't give them any more money. ”

"What's that in a hurry to use the money?"

"Last year, my mother died because she had no money, so she was buried hastily, and I wanted to move my mother's grave to be with my father. Lan Ling looked at the pile of about four or five hundred taels of silver, and only stepped forward to take two ingots, "I will ask Grandpa Xu to help, these fifty taels of silver are probably enough." ”

When Xia Yuan heard this, he glared and said, "What are the words! You should personally preside over this kind of thing, you knew that you would leave the day after tomorrow, so you wanted to ask Boss Xu for help." Don't worry, we'll leave when you're done. Young master, I am a reasonable person, you will know after getting along for a long time, tell me any difficulties in the future, and I will take care of you. ”

"Thank you, Young Master Yuan. Lan Ling bowed gratefully and said.

"Changed, changed. Xia Yuan waved his hand, "Now that I am my own person, I will call the young master directly." One more thing, follow the young master I have to learn to be atmospheric, take all this silver, your things not only have to be done, but also done well, understand?"

Lan Ling returned to his room with a pile of silver, first put the silver under the pillow, and then walked to the table and poured a glass of water and drank a few sips. Putting down the cup, Lan Ling sat quietly, feeling more peaceful than ever before.

In the past few years, Lan Ling has always struggled with difficulties, and she has worked hard to change her life, but life is always so dazed and painful. Lan Ling's mother still died, and the loan shark pressed on the little girl, and everything got worse.

Only today Xia Yuan appeared, and a series of actions made Lan inspiration warm and dependent. When she fell to the ground and fell into despair, Xia Yuan saved her. When she raised her head and saw the smiling Xia Yuan gently saying to her, "I'm Xia Yuan, I'm here to help you", Lan Ling believed that she would always remember this scene, this sentence.

Thinking about it, in the warm breath of April, the little girl fell asleep on the table, with a hint of a smile on the corner of her mouth.

Xia Yuan let go of his divine sense, and the divine consciousness of the peak of Liding instantly swept over Guning City, and he immediately discovered the breath of the four Liding. Locking on Ge Songnan's breath, Xia Yuan got up and prepared to go to him, he was the honored guest that Xia Yuan planned to invite.

In his consciousness, he also saw Lan Ling lying on the table and falling asleep, looking at the little girl's relieved sleeping face, Xia Yuan also smiled with relief. After rescuing Lan Ling from Popi's hands, Xia Yuan originally planned to ask Xia Ming to take care of her in the future. However, after seeing Lan Ling's craftsmanship and understanding her character, Xia Yuan decided to accept her by himself.

The little girl is sensible and filial, she works hard at a young age and serves her mother wholeheartedly; she is stubborn and gracious, and she does her best to protect Boss Xu's jewelry, just because Boss Xu is a good person to her. Her good craftsmanship also made Xia Yuan tempted, and finally accepted her.

The refining tool is too ugly is an old problem that makes Xia Yuan scratch his head, every time Xia Yuan refines something new, Yuehe always looks at those things, always showing a meaningful gaze.

Xia Yuan thought to himself, with the Blue Spirit Shape, he would no longer be ridiculed by the shallow girl who didn't understand the connotation. Yuehe, this girl, didn't say anything every time, and her expression was still very determined, but that gaze betrayed her heart, and Young Master Ben knew it very well.

Xia Yuan stood up and walked out of the door to find Ge Songnan.

When I passed by the door of Lan Ling's room, I thought that the little girl had never practiced, and now that it was April, it was very likely that she would catch a cold if she slept on her stomach. With a thought, he gently pushed open the door and threw out a ball of aura to cover Lan Ling's body. It will take about a few hours for this aura to dissipate, and the blue spirit should be fine.

Closing the door, Xia Yuan Shi Ran walked out of the inn and went to the county guard's mansion. From his divine sense, he saw that Ge Songnan was now in a small courtyard in the county guard's mansion.

Hiding his figure and entering the county guard's mansion, Xia Yuan came to the small courtyard where Ge Songnan was.

This small courtyard is located in the northwest corner of the county guard's mansion, there are no idle people, etc., the courtyard is not big but the scenery is very elegant, Ge Songnan is holding a sword and gesturing.

"Lao Ge, has your sword been refined?" Xia Yuan showed his shape.

Ge Songnan's expression tightened when he heard the voice, but he immediately sensed that it was Xia Yuan's breath, and his heart relaxed, "It turns out that Yuan Shao is here, please enter the hall quickly." Ge Songnan invited Xia Yuan into the hall, made a cup of tea with his own hands, and gave it to Xia Yuan with both hands, "Yuanshao, please drink tea, I don't know what happened when Yuanshao came to find him today." ”

Xia Yuan took the teacup, "Well, it's a little bit to ask you for help." ”

Ge Songnan's heart jumped, thinking to himself that with this unfathomable cultivation, what else did he have to help, could he help? But this is a life-saving benefactor, no matter how difficult it is, he must help. Ge Songnan hurriedly said with a serious face: "Yuanshao just said, I will do my best in the future." ”

Looking at the nervous Ge Songnan, Xia Yuan smiled slightly, "Old Ge, don't be nervous, it's a trivial matter." Then he told him about inviting him to be Xia Ming's wedding guest. When Ge Songnan heard that this was the case, he was relieved, and immediately agreed.

After talking to Ge Songnan about the time and place, and chatting for a while, Xia Yuan got up and went back to the inn.
