Lin Chong felt that he was a compassionate person, so he couldn't continue to pretend at this moment. So he coughed lightly: "If you have anything to do, stand up first. How unbecoming are you to kneel like this?"
When Shao Xue saw that things might be turning around, he became even more reluctant to stand up: "Please help me, Master."
Lin Chong was helpless: "Then you have to get up and tell me clearly what it is. How can I help you if you don't tell me? You tell me everything in detail first, and I will try my best to help you if I can."
Liu'er came over to help Shao Xue, and Shao Xue wiped her tears: "That's right, my name is Wen Shaoxue. The Wen family is a wealthy family in Xiangzhou City. Not to mention what happened to my father last year... the Wen family is just one of them.
It fell into the hands of the second uncle. The second uncle was lazy and refused to change his bad habits. He also squandered very little of the Wen family's property, and the Wen family fell into decline." Shao Xue couldn't help but blush again when she said this.
Eye socket.
Liu Er was also very angry at the side: "That Uncle Wen is so hateful. He wanted to marry the girl to the Zhang family as a concubine without telling the lady. Fortunately, I happened to hear them when they were talking. That old man is almost six years old this year.
He's ten years old, and he still looks like a pervert, how can our young lady jump into the fire pit? If he wants the Zhang family's money, he can marry his daughter off."
Lin Chong suddenly realized: "Is that why you two escaped from home?"
Shao Xue lowered her head in embarrassment. After all, she was a young girl who had not yet left the court. It was really shameful to run away from home, but she really didn't want to sit back and wait for death. She didn't want to marry into the Zhang family. So she finally
Under Liu'er's instigation, the two rolled up some jewelry and escaped overnight.
Lin Chong scratched his head. It is said that it is difficult for an upright official to deal with household chores. He couldn't figure out how to help with this kind of thing, so he asked tentatively: "So you have already thought of a countermeasure?"
Wen Shaoxue nodded: "My father made a marriage contract for me when he was still alive. He and I are childhood sweethearts, and I want to find him. Don't worry, sir, I am definitely not seeking any benefits. It's just that the world today is too chaotic.
, We are two weak women who don’t have any skills, so we are really worried, so we want to ask if we can walk with the young master. Don’t worry, young master, as long as we get to the place, we will never bother you again. "
"Where is your childhood sweetheart's home?"
"It's in Wei Hui Mansion."
Lin Chong really knew nothing about ancient place names, so he had to turn his head to Wang Chengen again.
Of course Wang Chengen understood what he meant, and sighed helplessly: "Wei Hui Mansion is not far from Xiangzhou, so we can just go along the way."
Lin Chong nodded: "You heard it too. Since you are on your way, of course we can give you a ride. But we are very pressed for time and cannot delay what we have to do. You will have to rely on yourself when you get to Wei Hui Mansion."
Wen Shaoxue nodded obediently: "You still don't know what to call me?"
Lin Chong thought for a moment: "My surname is Lin, just call me Lin Chong."
No one knew the origin of this name, but they all thought he just came up with the pseudonym on a whim and did not pursue it too closely.
Only Mumu is really strange, because when they met, Lin Zhong once said that since he wanted to give him a name, it was natural to have his last name, so he was named Lin Fei. It can be seen that this name was not a whim of the young master.
I thought of it. It's just that he is not that smart. After thinking for a long time, he couldn't figure out the result and gave up. Maybe it's because the young master always uses the same name every time he goes out, so he said it so smoothly.
What he didn't know was that before Lin Chong came, Emperor Chongzhen had never left the palace, let alone used a pseudonym. The only time he left the palace was when Li Zicheng invaded the capital and he planned to hang himself when he escaped.
Wang Chengen is the only one among everyone who knows Lin Chong's true identity, so he guessed that this name should be the boy's real name. It turns out that your boy's name is Lin Chong. Wang Chengen recited it silently in his heart and remembered the name.
Wen Shaoxue and Liu Er were very happy when they heard that they were willing to take them along with them.
Liu'er walked up to Lin Chong awkwardly: "Master Lin, I didn't expect you to be such an adult. Just now, Liu'er was ignorant. I hope you don't have the same experience as me. Thank you for being willing to take us with you. We will never
Not causing you any trouble."
Zhou Ze nodded, one smile was personable, the other was gentle: "Miss Wen, Miss Liu'er, you don't have to be so polite. It is our unshirkable responsibility to draw out our swords to help when we see injustice. Besides, this is actually nothing troublesome. It's just
I just picked you up along the way, don’t take it to heart.”
Since Wen Shaoxue's master and servant escaped from home, everyone along the way saw that the two women were weak and looked down on them. What's more, the one who took a fancy to Wen Shaoxue's outstanding appearance and wanted to take advantage of it was Liu Er.
I just pretended to be strong all the way and had learned a little kung fu before, so I walked all the way here in fear.
She was originally a wealthy lady who stayed close to home. After suffering numerous grievances, she suddenly heard someone speaking to her so politely and softly and couldn't help but blush again.
Zhou Ze was surprised. He didn’t say anything. Why did Miss Wen look like she was about to cry? It didn’t make sense for him to talk casually. So, after such a long interlude, several people started talking again.
Sit down and eat.
It was just the wood and the package of chicken drumsticks that he had wrapped up to take away. He silently opened the oil paper, Zhou Ze looked gloating next to him, and Mu Xi glared at him angrily.
It had been a while since the Chinese New Year, and Mu Xi, who was almost sixteen years old, still had a bit of aura with a straight face, but Lin Chong really couldn't stand his youthful and mature look.
Only those who have been abused since childhood can reach adulthood without abusing them themselves.
It was still bright after dinner, and this time a group of eight people set off on the road together. Because there were two women on the road, their speed of advance was intentionally or unintentionally slowed down. Lin Chong felt that the quality of the team had also improved.
In front of beautiful women, they all consciously or unconsciously show their more gentlemanly side.
Lin Chong couldn't help but sigh, it seems that it is not for nothing that men and women work together without getting tired.
After three days like this, they finally arrived at Wei Hui Mansion. After taking Wei Hui Mansion, the atmosphere around them suddenly became lively, and there were more pedestrians coming and going on the street. The speed of their two carriages
It's even slower.
Weihui Mansion is smaller than Xiangzhou, but in terms of population, it is definitely much larger than Xiangzhou. Therefore, they asked several inns before finally finding one with room.
