Li Yan's home in the back street of Ningguofu.

Li Yan's mother Qian looked at her son leading two dirty little girls in, and was shocked! She hurriedly asked Li Yan what was going on.

After Li Yan explained to her that this was temporarily "sent" to their maid, Qian was relieved. Then he led the two maids to take a shower.

When the two little girls came out wearing Li Yan's sister's clothes, Li Yan was shocked because these two girls actually looked exactly the same!

Qian was also very surprised. They were so dirty that they couldn't tell. When she took the bath for them, she was surprised to find that they were actually a pair of twin sisters!

But these two children didn't speak much, and they obviously suffered some injuries and became very timid.

Qian asked about their identities, and they only said that their family was killed and their father sold them. They said they didn't remember the others, but they were consistent with the man who sold them.

However, Jia Qing did not wrongly accuse the human trafficker! It was a fate. When he saw these two girls, they were already so dirty. He didn't realize that they were a pair of two. He was not a member of the authentic human trafficker organization. It was just by chance that by the way they saw them crying while guarding a corpse on the roadside. He happened to be a little tight, so he started selling them to make a fortune!

After burying the corpse in a hurry, he taught them this set of rhetoric, and went into the city to sell them.

In this case, this human trafficker is much more forgiving than the person who abducted Xiangling. After all, their tragedy was not caused by him.

It can even be said that he gave them a chance to survive! He allowed them to meet Jia Qing and change their lives. Who can tell the truth about fate?

Seeing that the two girls couldn't ask anything, Qian waved his hand and asked Li Yan's sister Li Shu to take them to her room, and whispered to Li Yan: "Do Yan'er look down on these two girls?"

Qian is preparing for his son's wife

Of course, Li Yan understood what his mother meant. He shook his head and said to Qian: "Mother has rested as soon as possible. She spent 40 taels of silver for these two girls and second masters, and was preparing to buy a yard for them to live in."

When Qian heard this, he really lost this idea. In their eyes, they all agreed that Jia Qing was looking for a wife for him, so Qian certainly did not dare to compete with Jia Qing for anyone.

"Also, it's best for my mother not to tell others about this. Second Master doesn't want his affairs to be known by irrelevant people.

By the way, this is the twenty taels of silver given by the second master. He said he was given a year-end bonus in advance!" As he said that, Li Yan took out the silver given to him by Jia Qing and handed it to his mother.

Qian was overjoyed. His son had only been with the Second Master for a few months and had brought back more than ten taels of silver. This time it was twenty taels. It was obvious that his son was very valued by the Second Master. While taking the money, he reminded him: "What is the reward for not being rewarded? It's just that the Second Master is generous and taking care of you. You must remember the second Master's kindness. In the future, you can do the errands ordered by the Second Master in return, which can be regarded as repaying the Second Master's grace."

Li Yan hurriedly said, "Yes, my son follows his mother's teachings and will definitely do a good job for the second master! Okay, my son has something to do, so he left first." He also wanted to find a suitable yard with Wang Shun.

"What are you panic? Let's go after lunch."

"No, the second master's errand is important!"

Qian looked at his son's back and felt that his son suddenly seemed like a person who did a big deal. He was relieved and let him go.

The next morning, Jia Qing and the other two went to Chen Mansion as promised. This time they went by carriage. Ningguo Mansion was quite far from Chen Mansion. Jia Qing didn't want to go that far, so he asked Lai Sheng for a carriage, and Li Yan drove the carriage, and Wang Shun and Jia Qing were sitting in the carriage.

At first, Wang Shun didn't dare to do so, after Jia Qing said, "Otherwise, don't go", he obediently got on the carriage.

This carriage was used by Jia Rong when she was in school, and the layout was quite exquisite. Now he doesn't have to go to school, so the carriage is naturally idle. Lai Sheng asked Jia Qing if he liked it, so he just gave it to him. Anyway, Jia Qing would definitely have to be equipped with a carriage when he went to the Imperial College in the future.

Jia Qing thought it was used by Jia Rong, so don’t!

At this time, in the carriage, Jia Qing asked Wang Shun: "Have you chosen your yard yesterday?"

Wang Shun said quickly: "According to the second master's instructions, Li Yan and I asked seven or eight houses in the back street that wanted to sell houses. Finally, we chose two yards and decided to wait until the second master came over and took a look."

Hearing that they were so efficient, Jia Qing nodded with satisfaction and said enough praise. With their current level of trust, these things need to be kept in mind.

After handing the soap recipe he had prepared to Chen Congcheng, and after guiding the technician he had found to test it several times, Jia Qing refused Chen Congcheng's attempt and returned to Xicheng in a carriage.

Entering the back street of Ningguo Mansion, he saw a yard through the window. Wang Shun said: "Second Master, that is the yard we like most, and it is close to our mansion. The price is a little expensive, so the boss wants a 400 taels, and he doesn't want to do it if he says one tael less!"

Jia Qing knew the purchasing power of silver in ancient times. Although houses in the capital were definitely more expensive than other places, 400 taels were indeed too expensive. Let’s go in and out to see how the layout is.

After stopping the carriage, Jia Qing and Wang Shun came down, Li Yan ran over and knocked on the door. The person who opened the door was an old man in his forties or fifties. Looking at Li Yan and the other two, he knew that he was here to buy a house, so he quickly invited him in.

After Jia Qing went in, he saw that it was a good, the standard courtyard was clean and tidy. In addition to the main hall, there were seven or eight rooms, which were very suitable for Jia Qing's contact point. So he turned around and asked the old man: "Who was the previous head of the household?"

The old man saw that Jia Qing was the real owner and quickly replied: "It's my master! I stayed here to guard the house. Before the master left, he told me to meet a suitable buyer and sell the house."

"Oh? Who is your master?"

"My master used to work in the Ministry of Revenue. He was released from Jiangling County Magistrate at the beginning of the year and moved away."

Haha, it turned out to be a small bureaucrat's residence, but now it is promoted to a parent official in the area. No wonder I don't care about this house anymore.

However, this place is close to Ningrong’s mansions, so I’m afraid that this house can only be bought by people from the Jia family. After all, almost all the servants and children from the two mansions are from the same mansions. Who would be willing to move in?

However, buying this yard is still within the acceptable range, and I am too lazy to bargain with an old man like this butler, so I decided to buy it directly.

The old man was overjoyed and said that he could move out immediately and come to take over the house in the afternoon. It seemed that he had wanted to move out long ago.

Jia Qing handed over all the remaining things to Li Yan and returned to Yipintang himself.

It was the next morning when Jia Qing came here again. When he saw two almost identical twin little sisters appearing in front of him in the main hall, Jia Qing thought he was confused and rubbed his eyes. After he saw that it was the same, he looked at Li Yan again, wanting to know if it was Li Yan's fault.

Li Yan shook his head firmly at him.

It’s really a hell. Yesterday, the two dirty ugly ducklings were able to turn into two cute little swans in one day, and they are twin sisters!

Jia Qing suddenly was very glad that he bought them, otherwise, given the situation of their sisters, if they were

Suddenly, I thought about what to do if they were in their hands now. The idea of ​​giving away the sisters before has shaken the twin sisters, what a moving term!

Now they are still so good at training!

So wiping the water stains on the corner of his mouth, Jia Qing forced these bad thoughts out of his mind, looked at the two sisters who were nervous, and said in a gentle tone: "What are your names? Can you tell your brother?"

The sisters looked at the gentle expression on the face of this brother who was nowhere much older than them, and their expressions were very hesitant. I wonder if I could say it. The man told them that if he said the wrong words, he would be beaten hard by his master with a whip, so they did not dare to disobey what he said.

Jia Qing probably understood the training methods of those human traffickers, so he asked softly: "Is that person not your father?"

Seeing their faces showing a fearful expression, Jia Qing's heart was a little stingy, and he continued to say, "Don't be afraid, my brother won't blame you, my brother will be nice to you in the future, so now, if you ask you what you are, are you all answering your truthfully?"

Finally, Jia Qing's gentleness and kindness played a role. One of the sisters replied: "I am Huahua, my sister, she is Duoduo, and my sister. That person is a good person. He buried his mother's body for us and gave us food, but yesterday his brother beat him."

What a kind and innocent girl, in their world, the definition of a good person is so simple! I wonder if the trafficker with forty taels of money in absent mind will be questioned by his conscience when he hears this.

"How did your mother die?" Jia Qing continued their words and asked.

Hearing this, the little girl's tears couldn't stop flowing out and she cried, "We don't know, but there were more and more people dying in the village, so my father took his mother and us out of the village. Later, for some reason, my father abandoned us and walked back alone. Woo woo!

We asked my mother what she was doing, but she said she went back to get food and she lied to others! My father never came to us again since then.

But my mother often cried and said after she fell asleep, saying that the plague harmed people. Brother, do you know what the plague is? Why does my mother say that it harmed people? And why our father doesn’t want us anymore?”

Jia Qing stepped forward and hugged two crying men who couldn't stand it.

Don't want you? I'm afraid I don't want to implicate you! The plague, needless to say, is one of the most terrible disasters in ancient times and even modern times. I think their father must have had their good wishes to survive before leaving!

Father's love is like a mountain.

"What happened to you later? How did you get here?"

Because I haven't heard of any plague near the capital, Jia Qing asked this question.

"Later, my mother took us all the way to this side. After eating what we brought, when we were hungry, she went to ask others for less and less food. Then one day, my mother couldn't get up. No matter how we cried, she just couldn't get up. My sister and I were so sad."

Jia Qing's eyes were moist.

"Later, I met that man, he called us his father, and then gave us food."
