"Master, it was I who took the initiative to bring the little girl back to the house, it's so pitiful, please accept her. ”

In the study, the charcoal basin crackled and steamed, and Fang Tan stood by the door with his hands down to ask Yang Shoukun for his guilt.

Yang Shoukun sat behind the table, frowned and reviewed the piled up official documents, and said softly: "I know it." ”

Fang Tan's heart was relieved, and he knew that Yang Shoukun had promised to take in this lonely little girl.

He didn't know why he had to bring the little girl to the Yang Mansion in a lot of trouble, perhaps because he was also an adopted orphan, and he had also experienced the state of helplessness and despair.

Yang Shoukun put down the official document, thought for a while and asked, "What is the name of the girl?"

The villain asked, and she said her name was Silo. Fang Tan replied, "Why don't I call her over, and the master will see her again?"

Yang Shoukun shook his head and said, "It's too late today, let's let her rest early." ”

"Sir...... It was this little girl who begged me to enter the Yang Mansion to be a maid. ”

"Oh?" Yang Shoukun was stunned and asked, "Why is this?"

She said that she had got the lord's money on the street, and that she had the money to buy a coffin for her grandmother, and that she didn't want to trouble you again. It's just that the master's kindness can't be repaid, so he voluntarily doesn't take a penny into the house to be a maid for three years. ”

Yang Shoukun heard a smile on the corner of his lips, shook his head and said, "This kid has a very heavy heart. ”

Fang Tan slurred: "Can the master ...... Seeing her first, so that she can rest assured, and I want to send her back to take care of the old man's funeral later. A girl walks alone at night and encounters the forbidden army patrolling the night...... I'm afraid it's not good. ”

Yang Shoukun glanced at Fang Tan thoughtfully and said, "You bring her in." ”

Fang Tan bowed down and went out to lead Siluo into the study.

Siluo was still wrapped in the leather jacket that Yang Shoukun had taken off from Liu Mang's body, and knelt down to greet Andao: "Master!"

Yang Shoukun said with Yan Yuese: "Get up, I know everything about you." Do you really want to be a maid?"

Siluo nodded and said, "I will do a lot of work, laundry, cooking, chopping wood, needlework...... And make white cakes!"

Yang Shoukun laughed and said: "It's rare for you to be so sensible at a young age, how many people are in a high position, but they only think about fighting for power and profit all day long, and the word benevolence is only on the lips, and they have already been thrown out of the clouds in their hearts." Okay, I'll take you as a righteous daughter, and after the funeral, you will go to the south study every day to read with Jun'er. Would you like to?"

Fang Tan was overjoyed when he heard this, and urged Si Luo: "Don't kowtow to thank the old man!"

"Excuse me, excuse me!" Yang Shoukun waved his hand and said: "Fang Tan, these **** will help Siluo take care of the funeral, and everything needs to be spent from the house." Tell Mr. Gao to the bookkeeper that Silo's monthly allowance will be distributed according to Jun'er. ”

Siluo looked at Yang Shoukun in astonishment, and muttered: "Master, I, I'm ......"

Yang Shoukun smiled and said, "Do you still call me master?"

Fang Tan quietly reminded on the side: "Girl, call godfather quickly...... It's called Godfather!"

"Godfather...... "Siluo cried out in a trembling voice, tearful, "I will honor your old man for the rest of my life!"

Yang Shoukun got up and walked around the table, gently picked up Siluo, hugged her thin shoulders, and said, "It's okay, good boy, don't cry." ”

Fang Tan tugged at the corner of Siluo's clothes and said, "Let's go, don't disturb the master's official business." ”

Silo wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes, and inadvertently saw a picture of a lady hanging in the study. The woman in the picture is graceful and noble, with a kind face, holding a fan in her hand and standing among the flowers with a smile. In the upper left corner of the lady's picture, there is a poem inscribed with a dragon flying and phoenix dancing, which reads: "I can't sleep when I'm worried, and it's hard to be depressed at night." The bright moon shines on the snow, and the wind is strong and sad. Transported to no floods, the passing of the year has been urged. ”

This poem Siluo had read in later generations, and knew that it was written by Xie Lingyun, a great genius of the previous dynasty. But this poem is paired with a picture of a lady, which makes people feel a little strange.

Fang Tan led Siluo out of the study, and said with a smile: "Girl, from now on, you will be the daughter of our Yang Mansion." ”

Siluo lowered her head and said, "Uncle Fang, I, I'm afraid I'm not worthy of ......"

"Don't think so, the lord never recognizes his relatives easily. Fang Tan said: "How many dignitaries in the capital wanted to follow his path, and even sent their daughters to Yang Mansion as concubines, but they were scolded back by the master. So, this is your blessing, and it is also your fate with the master, and others can't ask for it. ”

"Fate?" Siluo couldn't help but think of the scene when Yang Shoukun was walking on the street and singing that poem.

Fang Tan took her hand and walked out: "I am also an orphan adopted by my master, only ten years older than you. In the future, can you stop calling me uncle?"

"Well, Brother Fang!" Siluo replied obediently.

Fang Tan smiled happily and said, "The portrait you just saw in the study is Madame. I heard that she is a famous lady in Hejian Mansion, and she has a very good temper and good intentions, and the lord loves her very much. It's a pity that he died in childbirth three years ago, and the old man was sad for a long time, and he almost became a monk. ”

Although the old man did not become a monk in the end, he was like ten years old overnight, and a lot of gray hair grew on his sideburns, in fact, he had just turned thirty this year. ”

Fang Tan said with emotion: "After Madame died, the matchmaker who came to the door to say that he was close came every once in a while, but the master made up his mind not to continue the string. Mrs. gave birth to two young masters and a young lady for the old man before her death, the eldest young master Yang Jun just passed his twelfth birthday, and the second young master was even younger, only three years old by the wet nurse. ”

Siluo couldn't help but ask in confusion, "What about the eldest lady?"

Fang Tan lowered his voice and said, "The eldest lady was passed on to Yang Jian of the Great Pillar Country very early, although the master was reluctant, he couldn't help it. I guess when he saw you on the street before, he must have thought of the eldest lady in his heart. ”

Siluo's heart was shocked when she heard this, but she didn't expect that there would be such a relationship between Yang Shoukun and Yang Jian!

Then Yang Jian's son Yang Yong, and Yang Guang...... She took a deep breath and remembered the afterlife.

"Siluo, what's wrong with you?" Fang Tan noticed that Siluo's expression was abnormal, and asked with concern.

"Nothing. Siluo woke up like a dream, shook her head and changed the topic and said, "Brother Fang, then the master must miss the eldest lady very much, right?"

Fang Tan said: "What's the use of missing? Yang Jian is in power, and he is the patriarch, others only know that Lu Dao is the one who took the initiative to adopt the eldest lady, which is the supreme glory of the master." But in fact, Yang Jian did this all because of his deceased wife......"

He suddenly realized that he was speechless, and hurriedly said: "Siluo, even if you have heard what I told you today, you must not tell others again!"

Siluo nodded, becoming more and more curious about the past grievances between her godfather and Yang Jian, as well as the eldest lady she had never met.

A few days later, Fang Tan helped Siluo finish cooking her grandmother's funeral and returned to Yang's Mansion.

Although Yang Shoukun recognized Siluo as a righteous daughter, she never regarded herself as the daughter of the Yang Mansion from the bottom of her heart, but just did everything she could to do.

She tried hard to remember the tea that her godfather liked to drink, the dishes she liked to eat, the temperature of the wine she liked, the clothes she liked to wear, the poems she liked, and the music she liked to play...... But whatever her godfather likes, she will memorize it and learn it quietly.

Whether it's a trivial matter or not, as long as it can be used to make her godfather happy, she will devote 120,000 points of enthusiasm to do it.

On the other hand, Siluo and Yang Jun have also become very good friends and playmates.

Yang Jun is older than Siluo, and he looks like a young man, but he is friendly, and he does not have any contempt and contempt for Siluo because she is the daughter of a poor family that Yang Shoukun picked up from the street.

The two went to the south study room to study together every morning, Mr. Yang Shoukun spent a lot of money to invite Hongxue Confucian, surnamed Ye Zhiqiu, and invested in Yang's mansion to make a teaching chair in order to seek a background, so that Yang Shoukun would recommend him to be an official in the future.

Siluo is illiterate, and what Mr. Ye said inevitably seems profound. But she is full of aura, and she can often penetrate it at a glance.

Time is like an arrow, spring opens in a blink of an eye, and the weather gradually warms up, which is rare for the best time of the year.

These months have been both happy and comfortable for Silo.

She has "learned" thousands of words, and the tea she makes is also very popular with Yang Shoukun, and the monthly examples she receives every month are secretly accumulated together, thinking that she will give him a surprise when she waits for her godfather's birthday.

In the afternoon of this day, a guest came to the house, it was Yang Jian, the great pillar of the dynasty. He and Yang Shoukun talked for a long time behind closed doors in the study, and together with the eldest son Yang Yong and the second son Yang Guang, they came to play with Yang Jun.

Yang Yong and Yang Guang had long heard that Yang Shoukun had taken in a goddaughter last winter, so they pestered Yang Jun to lead them to see it.

Yang Jun couldn't shirk left and right, so he had to take the two of them to see Siluo.

Siluo didn't know the news of Yang Jian's departure, she was practicing playing the piano in her room.

These days, she is learning the piano from Ye Zhiqiu. In later life, she was quite accomplished in her piano skills, but now she must pretend that she does not know how to learn it from scratch.

Ye Zhiqiu didn't know what was going on, he only felt that Siluo was extremely talented in piano skills, and she had already played decently in a short period of time, so such a smart and lovely female disciple was naturally happy to teach more.

When Yang Jun, Yang Yong and Yang Guang arrived, Siluo was concentrating on playing a song "Pu Jia".

She didn't know that there were people outside the house, and her slender hand flicked the strings, and the sound of the piano was euphemistic and dusty.

Yang Jun stood at the door and just wanted to say hello, but was stopped by Yang Yong, and the three of them stood quietly outside the house to listen.

Unconsciously, Yang Yong was touched by the sound of the piano and sang softly: "The leaves are pale, and the white dew is frost; Tracing back to it, the road is blocked and long, and tracing from it, like ...... in the middle of the water"

Hearing someone outside the door singing "Pu Jia" with the sound of the qin, Siluo was secretly taken aback, the sound of the piano stopped abruptly, and the cheers of a strange young man sounded at the door. Beside him, there was also his brother Yang Jun and another younger teenager.

These two guests are not very old, they are all covered in ayara, and they are obviously the children of rich and noble families. Presumably, their father must be a court-central tycoon who came to the Yang Mansion as a guest, or a respected Confucian celebrity?

It's just that the contours of these two teenagers' faces look a little familiar?

Siluo stared at Yang Yong, who was smiling and applauding, and Yang Guang, who looked indifferent and was a little cold between her eyebrows, her heart trembled, and she was a little overwhelmed.
