The guy who was wiping the table in the canteen recognized him, and immediately ran to the back to report the news.

After a while, Han An came out first, smiled and asked, "San Lang, what's going on?" Haven't you had enough wine today? ”

He was joking, but he actually didn't know why the "prisoner carjacking" he said in the restaurant came and what the result was, so he wanted to make fun of him.

Of course, Li Dan heard it and felt embarrassed. Han An rarely comes here except to learn to write and paint, but he didn't expect to see him twice a day today.

"I have come to ask Mr. for advice." After Li Dan finished speaking, he said that he wanted to save Moon Shadow:

"Entrusted by men, loyal to people. But I didn't experience it when I was young. Please help me think about it, what is the best plan? ”

"It's easy." Han An smiled: "San Lang took the silver ticket and went directly to the county government and bought the person."

If such slaves and maids are re-sold, they usually have to issue a notice to make an appointment. However, the Chen family should have just been imprisoned, and the notice has not yet been released.

Therefore, go directly to the county or the main bookkeeper to say yes, and then hand over the silver money in the household room, and then take the voucher of the knot to the torture room to pick up the person.

However, in this case, it costs more than buying from the hands of human teeth on the spot, after all, the joints of each room have to be touched! ”

After speaking, Han An looked at Li Dan and shook his head and said, "It's not appropriate for San Lang to handle this matter in person." ”

"Why?"

"Your family has just retired from the eldest sister of the Chen family, and you come forward to ask for his slaves, what will others guess and say about you? So you can't go. ”

Li Dan looked back when he heard the sound, but it was Su Siniang who walked out with a candlestick and hurriedly got up: "Yo, why did you alarm my wife?" ”

He and Han An treated each other as masters and apprentices in private, so there were no outsiders here, so they called her "master".

"I told the guy to go to sleep." Su Siniang told her husband first.

She was actually only in her early twenties, and her cloud-like black hair was loosely tied up at the back of her head, and a smile appeared on Han An's face when she saw her coming.

Su Siniang put down the candlestick and sat under Han An, and said to Li Dan:

"San Lang, you will be a person who will enter the picture in the future, and you must not be held by someone in these small things.

The brother and son of the poet and scholar, how could he rush to the county government to ask for a maid in the house of a criminal minister?

In this matter, let Ruobin (Han An's word) go for you! ”

"Since my wife said this, dare to disobey her fate? It's just that I'm going to trouble Master Han for a trip. ”

Originally, Li Dan didn't care about any fame, but when he thought of going to the emperor to ask for forgiveness from the Chen family, he still secretly decided to go home and endorse the book, so he followed the advice.

Although Han An lost his fame, he still opened a school in the north gate to teach enlightenment, and many people in the yamen sent their children to study and read.

He immediately said: "I'll go to Master Liu early tomorrow morning, his son is studying in my school, and he will definitely be able to sell me this face!" ”

"That's great!" Li Dan was happy and asked again: "Is twenty taels enough?" ”

"It's just a little girl, how can you use twenty taels?" Han An smiled:

"The value of silver is three taels, and the master book and the owners of each house give a total of seven taels, so that ten taels of silver is enough. At this price, you can buy three girls in the market! ”

"So cheap?" Li Dan only knew that there was a city, but he had never experienced it, and he was taken aback when he heard it.

Su Siniang covered her mouth and smiled: "Brother is really the son of a big family, how can the affairs of these people in the lower riba be clear?" ”

Only then did Li Dan know how much the five hundred taels of silver he had arranged at random at the banquet weighed.

"There's one more thing. I just went to the dock to see me off, and I heard about Aunt Song of the Chen family. Li Dan told them Meng'er's words, and then said:

"Now that this Aunt Song has been released and does not know where to go, she is pregnant with Uncle Chen's blood and bones, and she needs to find it quickly.

I'm worried that her woman's family doesn't have much property on her, and now that there is such chaos outside the city, if she escapes and falls into the hands of bandits, then I will be sorry for the trust of the Chen family's sister. ”

"Is there such a thing? The lieutenant didn't take her? Han An and his daughter-in-law glanced at each other and said.

Li Dan said that he was going to see him off, how could there be any reason to carry an iron rod to see him off? It was clear that he wanted to stop it but failed, so he persuaded the family to come back.

However, the husband and wife exchanged eyes, and neither of them pierced.

She was originally a dowry maid who had a room, but later the aunt of the Chen family freed her from slavery.

Uncle Chen's last time before leaving, he was arrested before he could report it after he arrived. Regardless of whether it is this county or Yingtian's Nanzhili Department, they don't know that there is a concubine in the family.

The lieutenant was also kind-hearted, and he didn't care about receiving some silver, and let her go with the servants in a gourd. ”

Li Dan sighed after speaking: "I don't know if I ran out now, or if I was hiding somewhere in the city." ”

"But has anyone seen her?" Su Siniang asked.

"It's ......." Li Dan scratched his head. Yes, this aunt herself has only seen her back at night, but she doesn't know what it looks like.

"Well, someone might have seen it." He remembered: "Mrs. Lao, who is a matchmaker, went back and forth between the Chen and Li families, and she was also the one who finally went to withdraw the marriage for my fifth brother, and I may have seen Aunt Song's appearance!" ”

"As long as someone has seen it, it's easy to do!" Han An thought for a while and said:

"Tomorrow Saburo will first greet the gates of the city, and ask the brothers who know each other to keep an eye there, but she will come to me when she appears.

Also, Gu Da and Yang Yi took their brothers to secretly search in the city.

I estimate that she is a woman's house, although she has been freed from slavery, she has never been out of the house since she was a child, she must have found a place to live in the city, and most of them will not run outside the city. ”

"Could it be in which nunnery?" Su Siniang reminded.

Han An glanced at her approvingly, her daughter-in-law was wise, this was one of Han An's most satisfying things.

"If she has a little money on her, it's possible. The Baoding Temple in the city accepts pilgrims to stay, but it is more likely to be in the Liuhe Nunnery in the south of the city, and the True Meditation Temple two miles outside the east gate is also Kundao, maybe there. ”

He said these three things after a little thought.

"I remembered that the aunt of the Chen family was a believer, and it seems that she had gone to Zhenjingguan to live and recuperate for a few days.

Aunt Song is a person close to her, and she must have been there at that time, and it is very likely that she will go to a familiar place to settle down after she leaves the house. Li Dan gently patted the table and said happily.

"In this case, tomorrow I will search these Taoist temples, nunnery, and Buddhist halls!" Su Siniang took the initiative to say.

"Well, that's up to you. It is convenient and reasonable for women to find women. Han An nodded.

So everyone decided that tomorrow Li Dan would first go to Mrs. Lao to inquire about Aunt Song's appearance, and then arrange people to search for her in the city, while waiting for Su Siniang's news.

After both things were done, Li Dan felt much more at ease.

Asked Yang Lian to eat and stay, and then went to the back to look at the jujube liu, and found that it was much better than in the daytime, so he clapped his hands with satisfaction and rushed home before the watch (between half past eight and nine o'clock).

As soon as I climbed the tree, I saw two green fires in the yard rushing over.

Li Dan drank lightly: "Ermaozi, don't call it." Then he fell from the branch to the top of the wall, and then tumbled into the courtyard.

Immediately, the two green flames came over and rubbed on him. Li Dan grinned and took out the lotus leaf bag given by Su Siniang from his arms, and tore it open to reveal a few bones inside.

The two maozi were busy dealing with the food, so they couldn't take care of the little master.

Cautiously entered the door, and when he turned around, he saw Song Xiaoniu and Bei Xi standing in front of him with a smile.

"Oh, you two, is this dark sky trying to scare me to death?" Annoyedly, he pulled away the lantern in Song Xiaoniu's hand, and Li Dan couldn't cry or laugh:

"Are you taking this thing for me or for yourself? What a big green face! ”

"Be kind enough to follow the way, why did San Lang scold people when he entered the door?" Song Xiaoniu was aggrieved.

Li Dan glared at him: "Isn't it scary for you to put yourself under the lamp?" Anyway, let the master see Bei Xi's little face first, so that his heart will not jump out! ”

Then I heard someone in the house asking, "Who's outside?" But is my brother back? ”

"Auntie hasn't slept yet?" Li Dan handed the stick to Xiao Niu: "I'll go tell my aunt something, and I have to look for you when I go back." ”

Song Xiaoniu responded, and walked to the wing room with Pei Xi, who was pouting. Li Dan went to the door to greet his aunt first, and the needle picked up the curtain to open the door and signaled: "San Lang, come in and talk." ”

Li Dan entered the house and saw that Xiao Qian was wearing plain clothes and no jewelry, sitting cross-legged on the bed, with a low table beside him lit with an oil lamp, and was mending clothes.

"Auntie is thrifty again, why don't you light two candles if you want to do your work?" Li Dan sighed: "If you light up like this, your eyes will be bad!" ”

"It doesn't matter, it's just a pair of pants of yours, I'll take it and mend it when I see a hole in the back, and it's almost done." Xiao Qian stopped his hand and said with a smile:

"Don't you want me to chew five wolfberries a day? It's really good for the eyes, it's very effective! ”

"Then don't work like this, my aunt will just hand over these jobs to Bei Xi in the future, why do you have to do it yourself?"

Xiao Qian smiled slightly: "You're going on an expedition, how can the family not make some preparations?" ”

"Huh? Auntie already knows? ”

"Bei Xidu told me, and someone from the yamen also came in the evening and told me about it directly."

Looking at her calm and calm appearance, Li Dan was a little overwhelmed. "They decided to split the family like this, isn't my aunt angry?"

"What's there to be angry about? If they secretly collude to calculate us, we will inevitably suffer losses when there are many people over there. Now that they are openly going to the county government, it is difficult to use their means.

In the past, I thought that I could keep my sister and me's dowry, but now that I have to share the inheritance of my grandfather and father, wouldn't it be great?

So let's divide it, let's go out and buy a house or a grange, it's much better than sending people under the fence here. Xiao Qian laughed out loud:

"In the afternoon, the third grandmother called me over, which means not to make trouble with the people in front, move out as soon as possible, and then wait for the separation of the property."

It's been ten years since she returned to the coffin, and she is like sitting in a dark box, enduring the blood and bones of raising her sister.

Even if someone else has the final say in this family, even if she is said and ridiculed, she feels that she can bear it for Li Dan, just waiting for the day when he becomes independent.

I didn't expect this day to come suddenly, and there wasn't much fighting and frustration. How could this not make her happy?

Now I unexpectedly heard that the county appointed his stepson as a people's husband, and he was in charge of sixty people! This makes her even happier, look at my family Saburo, who has only been fifteen years old and has been entrusted with important tasks!

"When you come back, if the county can reward an errand, our own portal will be established. So you have to fight for it! ”

"Auntie isn't worried that I will join the army, and I may have to go to the battlefield?" Li Dan asked again.

"Ahem, I heard from the public in the yamen that you are just carrying the burden of grain and grass, and you are far away from the thieves.

There are officers and soldiers in front of them, when will it be the turn of the masters to go into battle to kill the enemy, then it will be repaid? ”

Xiao Qian paused and said: "Besides, I also asked Xiao Niu and his uncle, Ma Jiu said that with your ability, ordinary ten people can't get close, what do I have to worry about?" ”

"Oh, Uncle Ma Jiu said that? Does he have anything else to say? ”

"He seems to say, you should gather people as soon as possible, practice hard for a few days, and then set off...... Be prepared. ”

"Okay, kid remember!" Hearing this, Li Dan's heart also settled down, and he quickly had a plan.

"Auntie, since the family has been separated, we can't live in this yard, so we have to buy or rent a place to move there as soon as possible.

What do you think of our charter, where do you look at the house? The child will go to the county office tomorrow, and when he comes out, he will go to find a place. ”

"It doesn't matter where it is, it's always quieter. You know I don't like noisy, rent or buy it. Since Li Dan is about to be the head of this family, Xiao Qian simply let him take the idea.

When he came back from his aunt, Bei Xi was about to ask him if he had washed it, but Li Dan said, "You bring Brother Niu here, I have something to ask him to do it tomorrow." ”

Bei Xi sighed, reluctantly, but he still went to the kitchen first to call Song Xiaoniu who was waiting there.

"San Lang, I thought you were going to sleep when you came back, it's already ...... so late." The calf sat on a stool diagonally across from it, and it "creaked".

"My aunt and I will be moving out soon." Li Dan said. Maverick and Betty were stunned.

"Really?"
