Don't worry about traveling through time, she has an all-powerful senior sister to help her

"Should they know each other? Where is the little Douzi you mentioned from?" When the white-faced young man frowned slightly, Brother Xie hurriedly said, "Miss Shen, he, he is..."

"I've never met him, but at first glance he looks like someone I know.

His child was named Cao Changshou, nicknamed Xiaodouzi, and was from Dashao Village, Jintai, Baozhou Prefecture, Zhili.

Last June, he was kidnapped by Xiaogouzi from the same village and sold to human traffickers, and later went to Beijing.

According to the captured traffickers, they sent Xiaodouzi to…” Shen Lingzhu pointed in the direction of the imperial palace. From the other person’s voice and the way his white-faced, beardless face occasionally raised his orchid finger, she knew that he was also an inner court official.

Eunuchs have different ideas from ordinary people. Now that I have caught his attention, I should take this opportunity to explain it clearly to avoid misunderstandings.

Alas, she was being foolish again. It was too naive to expect a five or six-year-old child who had been missing for more than a year to remember anything.

Moreover, the child in front of him might not really be Brother Cao’s nephew.

Brother Xie was stunned. Did Miss Shen actually know about the need for castration to enter the palace?

The young man beside him pulled the child's hand and asked, "Is your last name Cao?"

The child shook his head blankly: "My last name is Wang."

The young man nodded with satisfaction: "Little girl, his last name is not Cao. Cousin, what do you think?"

"Oh, oh," Xie Xiaoge approached her, turned his back to the young man, winked at her, and said, "Miss Shen must have recognized the wrong person."

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry. There are too many people who look alike in this world." Shen Chi also quickly held his daughter down, hinting that she had made a mistake.

Shen Lingzhu bowed: "I'm sorry, he looks too much like a friend.

Thank you, brother. We'll take our leave now. If you need anything, you can come to Maxian Hutong."

"Okay." Brother Xie watched the father and daughter leave.

After entering the room, the pale-faced young man asked, "Cousin, who are they?"

The young man of the Xie family had long known from his uncle's letter that he had adopted a godson, who was probably the person before him, "the kind-hearted man who helped me to go to Beijing.

I still don’t know your last name?” It feels awkward to call him uncle.

The pale-faced young man smiled and said, "I've changed my surname to Wang, just like my godfather. You can just call me Wang Yuan."

The child he was holding also said: "I also have the same surname as our ancestor and godfather."

"Yeah." The young man from the Xie family didn't know whether the godfather he was talking about was his uncle or Wang Yuan in front of him.

The fair-faced young man, Wang Yuan, smiled even more broadly. His godfather's relative was quite honest, not bad. He stroked the child and said, "Good boy."

I just hope that the little girl just now won’t find any parents for Xiaodouzi. This child was chosen by herself to take care of her in her future.

……

Two streets away from Wang's residence, Shen Chi said, "My dear, you shouldn't have called out that child's name just now.

The young man was clearly a eunuch, and it would be disastrous if he bore a grudge against him.

Besides, are you sure you didn't recognize the wrong person?"

"Dad, I was wrong. I wouldn't tell the Cao family either." She remembered that after Taoist Chen told the Cao family the truth, they went to Beijing to look for him.

But it would be a waste of money without connections, and finding the child would be a lifelong pain. But I heard that Cao Erge's father insisted on working in the capital and looking for connections in the palace.

"When I first returned to my hometown..." Shen Lingzhu told Master Chi about the incident of capturing Huazi in Daxu Village.

Shen Chi sighed after hearing this: "The Cao family is still looking for it?"

Shen Lingzhu nodded: "Yeah, quite pitiful."

"There are many pitiful people in the world. But you made good amends later. You told us where we live honestly and let him investigate." Shen Chi didn't think he couldn't protect his daughter.

Shen Lingzhu hung her head and said, "I made a mistake on the first day I arrived in Beijing."

"Silly girl, you have a pure heart.

If you were lost, Dad would be heartbroken." Shen Chi pulled over and rubbed her head to comfort her.

He said, "Let's go buy some rice and flour and cook for ourselves to save money."

It took an hour for the father and daughter to return to Maxian Hutong after they went out.

Huang Zongqi was surprised: "You're back so soon? Didn't you go to Cheng's or Han's house?"

The smiles on Shen Lingzhu and Shen Chi's faces froze instantly. The two of them, father and daughter, bowed their heads in unison to apologize, making people want to scold them but unable to.

"Okay, okay, put the things you bought back and don't move the car. Xiao Zhuzi and I will go take a look before dark." Huang Zongqi was tired.

Shen Chi immediately smiled again: "Why bother you, big brother? I'll take Xiao Zhuzi with me."

Huang Zongqi snorted coldly: "Come on, you are a big unreliable person with a small unreliable person, I don't trust you.

Stay home and groom a few horses so the two escorts can use them when they leave tomorrow."

"But I didn't see anyone selling water." Shen Chi had just come up with an excuse when Huang Zongqi got angry: "At the east entrance of the alley, there is a well shared by all the other alleys nearby. There are buckets and jars of water ready in the kitchen.

If you feel like there are too many people, you can go east to the Fire Temple and borrow water from their well."

Shen Lingzhu asked at the right moment: "Uncle, where are the two escorts?"

Huang Zongqi glanced at her sideways, she is really your father's little cotton-padded jacket: "Go shopping, put down the things for your father to pack up, we also need to buy some fodder."

"Oh, okay." Shen Lingzhu placed the thing in his hand next to Master Chi, with the words "I can't help" written in his eyes.

Then he obediently followed his uncle in the carriage and left, leaving Master Chi alone, looking at the things at the door and sighing.

On this side, Huang Zongqi asked for the addresses of Cheng and Han's families, and after walking out of the alley, he walked north along the street.

Shen Lingzhu opened the carriage curtain and sat at the door with a flattering smile: "Uncle, you are very familiar with the capital."

It wouldn't be particularly cold in the city, so Huang Zongqi didn't push her back this time: "Last year, I was selling bellows and blueprints with He Qidi in Beijing, and we walked all over the streets of the capital.

I don't know the name of the alley you mentioned, but I won't go wrong if I know the name of the block.

Jinggongfang, where Brother Xie went, is not far from Nanjuxianfang.

Speaking of which, he can live in Jinggongfang, which is close to the imperial city. His relatives are not ordinary people."

"Well, it's very complicated. I'll tell my uncle in detail when I get home." Shen Lingzhu naturally wouldn't mention eunuchs and the palace on the streets of the capital.

But before she could mention anyone else, someone mentioned her family in the evening.

The young man from the Xie family waited anxiously for his uncle to come back. When the old eunuch saw him, he asked about his well-being and soon found out everything about his family.

He even knew who he had entered the capital with. After comforting him and letting him wash his hands and prepare dinner, the old eunuch Wang called his godson over.

"Did anyone check on that pedestrian? Did they post it on their own initiative because they knew something?"

Wang Yuan offered tea and said, "My son has also sent people to investigate. We now know that the Shen family came to Beijing with people from the Huailai Marquis Mansion and are staying in the private residence of Chen Ru, the nephew of the Marquis Mansion."

The old eunuch said, "Shen, from Shun County, Baozhou Prefecture, who fell into trouble last year. Sounds familiar."

"He is Shen Huai, the former head of the Ministry of Works. He was framed for offending the Shi family. Earlier this year, he was recommended by Li Shangshu, who was recently promoted to the position of Chief Minister of the Cabinet. He is currently the Co-governor of Wumeng.

I heard he cracked down on a group of bandits as soon as he took office, and organized these bandits and exiles to dredge the river. "Wang Yuan had done his homework early on.

The old eunuch pondered for a moment and said, "Prepare a gift to thank them for sending my son to the capital."
