The whole city knows we are locked

In the end, Yan Chuyin escaped from the Ministry of Rites on the pretext that she was going to report to the orphanage.

Following the list of admissions, after reaching a specific subject, it was soon possible to find out that there were four Jinshi surnamed Zhou who were admitted in that class. The list also included their birthplaces, physical characteristics, guarantor information, and so on.Two of the Jinshi surnamed Zhou were born in the families of officials. As long as they carefully inquire about the specific situation of their families, they should be able to settle down soon.The situation of the remaining two people is similar, both of them were born in farming and studying families.

"He is old. He was 53 years old when he was admitted to Jinshi. Although there are old couples and young wives, but because of his age, he was not sent out. He has been left to study in the Ministry of Rites. This person can be excluded." Point to one of them.This old Jinshi who was in his 50s and only made the list has been working as a low-level official in the capital.

Yan Chuyin pointed to another person and said, "Then this person can also be eliminated. Although he was released, he was sent to the northwest." According to Mou Yang, the child who looked like him spoke with a southern accent. It shows that there must be a large number of people who speak southern dialects in his living environment, so it is more likely that his father will work in the south.

"There are two left? Shall we send someone over to inquire?" Cao Lu asked.

Because of the inconvenient road traffic, the exchange of information among various places is also relatively inconvenient.If they want to know the situation of the official Zhou and his wife, they need to send their confidantes to the local area to inquire about the news secretly, and then hurry back.

It will take a month or two at the earliest to go back and forth like this.

Yan Chuyin nodded: "Let me arrange it." He has someone in his hands. Although he is not a serious leader, if he really sends someone out, there will definitely be rumors reaching his parents' ears, but even if the elders find out, it's okay.

Putting this matter aside for the time being, we have to wait for the person who inquired about the news to come back before we can discuss the next step.

A few of them have to report to the orphanage.In addition to the three of them, there was another man named Jiang Sheng who was also on the list, so he was also among those who were punished.Yan Chuyin didn't know Jiang Sheng very well, because he only returned from another place last year.Jiang Sheng's father was a confidant of the Holy One and a great official in frontiers. Last year, he was transferred to the admiral of Sichuan Province.

Jiang Sheng was punished unjustly.He likes to drink!Others bring water bladders to class, and take a sip when they are thirsty.What Jiang Sheng brought with him was a wine bag!Although he has a good capacity for alcohol and can't get drunk at all, he doesn't look like a serious scholar with the smell of alcohol on his body!

Apart from this point, Jiang Sheng still has some literary talents, and his riding and shooting skills are not bad.

Yan Chuyin and the three met Jiang Sheng at the gate of the Orphanage.Yan Chuyin and the others got off the carriage one by one, and Jiang Sheng jumped off the tall horse directly.The horse looked very handsome.Fatty Cao tugged at Xiaohe's sleeve excitedly, look, look, his movement of dismounting the horse is smooth and smooth, really has the demeanor of a peerless hero!

The steward of the Orphanage led a dozen people to meet him at the door.

The steward, surnamed Yun, is a woman in her 40s.

There are generally four kinds of people who stay in the orphanage and receive relief: one is boys with obvious disabilities (healthy boys will not be thrown away from the orphanage, and like Mou Yang, both parents are dead , there are also clan members who help to raise them); one is a girl child; the other is a woman who has been kicked out of the house because she can’t give birth to a son and has nowhere to go; the last is a refugee.However, unless it is a natural disaster, the last one is not common.

Generally speaking, apart from women, there are only children in the orphanage.

If the manager is a man, there must be a lot of inconvenience.Therefore, almost all the people in charge of orphanages in various places are women.This steward Yun also has a background. She was a female official next to Princess Yun Gong in the early years. After leaving the palace, she got the position of steward of the orphanage in Beijing. She has been working for so many years.Princess Yungong is Jinshang's older sister, but she doesn't have much friendship with Jinshang.After Jinshang ascended the throne, except for Yu Jingfu, the relationship with other princesses was mediocre.

Although he has been out of the palace for many years, Guanshi Yun still has a deep palace brand on him.You can tell from the way she walks and stands that she definitely came from the palace.In addition to Steward Yun, there are also several junior stewards who are lower than her in charge of some specific affairs. These minor stewards are male and female, and they wear uniform clothes.

It's not to excuse Manager Yun, but when Uncle Xu came to the door with Xu Chunsheng in his arms, they probably didn't see Manager Yun at all.

If Yan Chuyin and the others had not had special identities this time, Guanshi Yun would not have stood up to greet them in person.

Without exchanging pleasantries, Manager Yun said bluntly, since the four sons were ordered by the emperor to come to the Orphanage to help, she would not delay them, and directly arranged for them to go to the Boys' Home to take care of the disabled boys.

Such an arrangement is reasonable.There are four young men, they can't be allowed to contact those homeless women, can they?Even taking care of little girls is not appropriate.Only taking care of boys does not require so many taboos.

But Yan Chuyin had something in her heart, and couldn't help but think that disabled boys couldn't be sold anywhere. If there were really problems in the orphanage, the boys' home must be relatively clean, and the girl's yard needed to be investigated carefully.

When I arrived at the Boys' Home, I saw that there were not many people in total, and the older children could take care of the younger ones, so there was no extra work for Yan Chuyin and the others to do.At a glance, the children are almost all disabled. One spine is bent, and half of the body is bent. From a distance, they look like a thin old man who can't straighten his back. When he looks closely, he is a boy in his teens. child.The steward in charge of the boys' home is a man named Song.Seeing that Xiaohe had been staring at the boy, Guanshi Song introduced him, "His name is A Kang, and he almost died of starvation at the gate of the Orphanage the year before last."

"The year before the eve of the year? Does he remember everything?" Xiao He asked.

"I remember it, but when I asked him where his home was and who his parents were, he didn't say anything. We can only raise him first. Fortunately, this child is handy, learns a craft well, and will always be able to earn a living in the future." Song The steward sighed, "I reckon that he was the only boy in his family, so he was lost at birth. Later, his parents should have given birth to a healthy boy, so he is not important... This kind of thing , we've seen a lot."

Xiaohe gave Cao Lu a look.

Fatty Cao said carelessly: "A real man should stand upright, and he would rather fold than bend. He is naturally not straight. Could it be that he has been punished by God?" The yard was open, and they stood at the door, and Akang couldn't hear this.

Song Guanshi was not very happy, but he, a rankless little steward, really didn't dare to offend this group of well-established dandies, so he just said: "I don't care about anything else, I found the Orphanage, and I have to give it to him." Eat with one bite."

Song Guanshi did not dare to express his displeasure.Jiang Sheng dared to see him roll his eyes at Cao Lu.

Damn it, God damn it!

Fatty Cao: "???"

--------

"I'm dead!" Fatty Cao pulled a part of Xiaohe's sleeve to wipe away the tears that didn't exist in the corner of his eyes, "My image of being wise...is completely dead in Jiang Daxia's heart like this. I don't want to die!"

Xiaohe: "..."

Calm down, you don't have such a thing as a wise image!
