Yue Lingxuan knew that he should not come to Lin Shichu, because they could only be regarded as casual encounters, not close friends. He should not appear in front of her and cause her trouble.
After he knew that his family had suffered such a big change, he was extremely sad. His first reaction was to return to the capital to avenge his family, but his loyal servants stopped him and refused to let him return to the capital to seek death, because even though many people knew about his The family was wronged, but the higher-ups had already made a final decision and it was impossible to go back on their word, so he was destined to be unable to redress the injustice for his family for a while.
On the contrary, if he really showed up in the capital like this, he would have thrown himself into a trap and died in vain.
Yue Lingxuan couldn't go back, and he couldn't even let people know that he was still alive. He spent a period of time in a daze. After he gained some consciousness, he somehow remembered Lin Shichu, so he came here in despair. Find her.
Lin Shichu guessed that he was hiding something from him, but because he was so sad, he didn't ask further questions. Instead, he helped him improve the disguise on his face to make him more distinguishable from his previous appearance.
"You just stay with me for the time being. Just say that you are the servant I bought in the market and you only listen to my orders. Is that okay?" Lin Shichu asked.
"Okay." Yue Lingxuan nodded, "My name will be Xuan Ling from now on."
After discussing Yue Lingxuan's identity, Lin Shichu found a moment to get rid of Qingxue and the guards and brought Xuan Ling back from outside.
"This is my new servant, his name is Xuan Ling." Lin Shichu introduced Yue Lingxuan's new identity in front of everyone, "He will help me take care of my business in the future."
Qingxue looked at him curiously and felt that the man's figure looked familiar, but his face was completely unfamiliar. She had never seen him before, so she thought she had seen it wrong.
"Xuan Ling, my name is Qingxue, and I am the maid beside the young lady." Qingxue introduced herself, Yue Lingxuan nodded to her, and the other guards and servants introduced each other one by one.
Lin Shichu was not a strict master, and the Lin family was not a family with strict rules, so as long as everyone did their job well, Lin Shichu would not interfere with their private interactions in their free time.
So Xuan Ling, the new servant, was immediately targeted by the guards. Everyone didn't know why Lin Shichu suddenly bought him, so they began to test what his abilities were.
The guards naturally tested his skills, but what was unexpected was that although Xuan Ling looked gentle and slim, his skills were better than those of the guards. None of the guards faced him. He could gain the upper hand, but he was beaten to a black and blue face.
In this way, Xuan Ling used his fists to establish his position next to Lin Shichu.
Since Yue Lingxuan wanted to be Lin Shichu's servant, he naturally had to do a decent job. Lin Shichu usually asked him to do things, but what he did often required him to run away. Others were not sure what he wanted to do. do what.
Because she took him in as an unexpected guest, Lin Shichu did not stay in Lianjiang City for too long. She quickly dealt with some of the existing problems of the cloth shop in a vigorous manner and reformed the sales model, such as using commissions to encourage the clerks. work enthusiasm...
After her reform, Buhang's business immediately reached a new level, and everyone's enthusiasm for work immediately increased. The clerks and managers were all in high spirits, as if they had been given a shot of chicken blood.
Lin Shichu then left Lianjiang City with satisfaction and returned home.
After returning to Lin's house, Lin's father and Lin's mother knew that their precious daughter had bought a servant in Lianjiang City, but they didn't say much. Although the servant's temperament didn't look like a slave, they believed in their own. Daughter, so I didn’t become suspicious.
Lin Shichu resumed the life of a young lady. In addition to looking at the account books and inspecting the business with Lin's father, she usually ate, drank and played at home.
As a "manservant", Yue Lingxuan could not appear in Lin's backyard except when he was out, so when Lin Shichu was at home, he was usually free to move around.
Although he was nominally Lin Shichu's servant, Lin Shichu didn't regard him as a subordinate, so he usually spent a lot of time at his own disposal.
Yue Lingxuan was often "missing". Other servants who looked down upon him even complained to Lin Shichu or Lin's mother, but Lin Shichu fooled him.
Lin Shichu guessed that he was probably asking for news about his family.
But she herself was not idle, and began to pay attention to the news in the capital.
About a month later, as expected, some news from the capital reached the state capital where the Lin family was located.
One of the most shocking things was that An Guohou's family was sentenced to confiscation and exile because of charges such as forming a party for personal gain, colluding with foreign enemies, selling military supplies, embezzlement and accepting bribes. Of course, several of the "culprits" were naturally beheaded, and other family members were exiled, but they were still He would be dead before reaching the Exiled Land.
By the way, the Marquis of Anguo is called Yue Zhao, which has the same surname as Yue Lingxuan, and Yue Lingxuan told Lin Shichu that his family was all wiped out due to a disaster not long ago. Isn't this a coincidence?
Even if Lin Shichu thought on his heels, he knew that Yue Lingxuan was related to the former An Guohou family.
It's really tragic. I don't know whether An Guohou's family deserved their punishment or were wronged. But now it is very likely that they were wronged. After all, Lin Shichu still remembers the first time he saw Yue Lingxuan, when he was chased and almost died. .
At that time, it happened that Beijing officials came to investigate the floods in Jiangnan. Jiangnan was not far from the state capital where the Lin family was located. Yue Lingxuan was probably involved in the investigation of that incident, which was why he was hunted down like that. .
I just don't know why, it seems that people in the capital don't know that he is still alive, otherwise he would not escape so easily.
What happened to Anguohou was probably a counterattack by the people behind the Jiangnan floods and other people. After all, Anguohou also had a great say in the border garrison. The emperor definitely wanted to take the military power back into his own hands, so Anguohou's family would be an eyesore. .
Lin Shichu probably guessed Yue Lingxuan's identity and the tragic experience of his family, but she was just an ordinary person now and couldn't help him. She could only help him hide his identity.
Yue Lingxuan didn't know that all his background had been investigated by Lin Shichu. He was now busy contacting the Yue family's connections that had not yet been exposed. Of course, he was not asking them to help his family redress their grievances, because this was unrealistic.
Since losing his family overnight, Yue Lingxuan has matured instantly. He has begun to deliberately redress and avenge his family. He has left behind the glory of the past and his thoughts have slowly become bottomless. …
