Chapter 172 Relatives
Only then did Qiao Jinlan have a concrete understanding of their Dazhen.
In this world that requires the blessing of God, isn't Dazhen the lowest of the lowest?
"Young Madam, don't be fooled by the fact that this inn looks a bit shabby from the outside. It's actually quite good inside." Master Xuan Jing explained awkwardly.
He is a master respected by everyone in Dazhen, but in this Town No. 9... it's really... well, it's hard to put it into words.
"Master, thank you for your hard work." Qiao Jinlan bowed to Master Xuan Jing.
This was their first time coming here, but Master Xuanjing had come here countless times for Dazhen.
The purpose is to gain more fortune for Dazhen.
How could she not admire such a master who serves the country and the people?
"Young Madam, you are too kind. For Dajin's sake, I am only doing my part." Master Xuanjing does not take credit for himself.
"Ma'am, please."
Qiao Jinlan and the others followed Master Xuan Jing into the inn. Master Xuan Jing was familiar with the place and went with the waiter to a separate courtyard of the inn, which was relatively quiet.
It's actually OK inside, everything is clean.
After Qiao Jinlan settled in, she went for a walk outside with Lu Yunxu to familiarize herself with the environment.
Not to mention, if you didn't know that this is a place to pray for blessings and good fortune, if you only looked at the surface, you really wouldn't be able to tell any difference.
There were all kinds of shops and stalls on the street, and it was very lively, which allowed Qiao Jinlan to buy a lot of delicious and interesting things.
The two of them were tired from shopping, so they went to a teahouse to drink tea.
"The only difference here is that there are no beggars." Qiao Jinlan looked around and really didn't see a single beggar.
"After all, this is a place close to the gods, and they won't let people fall to this level." Lu Yunxu said, "However, the hierarchy here is still strict."
There are still poor people, and they still have to live a hard life.
The servants of those wealthy families still had a hard time.
Qiao Jinlan looked at the street below. A young man came over on horseback. His horse had just stopped when the servant next to him came over immediately, knelt beside the horse, and used himself as a stool for the young man to step on and climb down.
The young man's followers were already accustomed to this.
The young man entered the teahouse surrounded by his followers. The servant who was supposed to be the horse's stool stood up and led the horse to the side. It seemed that he had to take care of the horse and was not even qualified to follow him into the teahouse.
Qiao Jinlan frowned, "Are all the dandies here so unconcealed about their arrogance?"
In the capital city of Dajin, no matter what, no one dared to be so arrogant in the street.
Emperor Jin would not allow anyone to treat others in this way.
"Gods are not necessarily so upright." Qiao Jinlan lowered her voice and said to Lu Yunxu.
Since even the gods are like this, isn't it normal for some people here to be arrogant and domineering?
Lu Yunxu nodded.
The two of them rested for a while, felt they were done, and paid the bill and left.
After walking a few steps out of the teahouse, Qiao Jinlan suddenly stopped, which made Lu Yunxu feel a little strange. He followed Qiao Jinlan's gaze and saw that it was the servant who was used as a stepping stone.
It is not quite right to call him a servant, because this guy is not young. He looks middle-aged, about the same age as Marquis Anyang.
But, is there anything special about this person?
Lu Yunxu looked at Qiao Jinlan in confusion.
Qiao Jinlan walked over.
The servant who was sitting on the ground felt that the sunlight was blocked. He stood up suddenly, and before he could see who was coming, he apologized: "Sorry, sorry, I'm in the way, I'll leave now."
"No." Qiao Jinlan stopped him, "I want to ask, where did the chain on your hand come from?"
The servant was stunned for a moment, then he looked up at Qiao Jinlan. He was stunned when he saw her: "Little sister."
Lu Yunxu frowned in surprise. What does that mean?
Qiao Jinlan looked at the chain on the servant's wrist and said, "This chain should have three pieces."
As she spoke, she took out an identical chain from the sachet, except that the patterns carved on the wooden beads were different.
It can be said that the carving technique of the pattern is quite crude, and it is obvious that it was carved by a novice.
The servant was shocked and looked at Qiao Jinlan with her mouth slightly open, unable to utter a word.
"Are you my younger sister's daughter?" The servant was so excited that tears came to his eyes.
"I..." The servant wanted to move forward, but suddenly he saw his dry and rough hands, and he stopped abruptly.
"Where do you live? I'll come find you later." The servant swallowed nervously.
Qiao Jinlan nodded and gave her address.
"Okay, I'll go there at night." After the servant said this, he looked inside the teahouse worriedly, and then urged Qiao Jinlan to leave quickly.
Qiao Jinlan did not stay for long and left with Lu Yunxu.
After walking for a distance, Lu Yunxu asked, "That person is... my uncle?"
"Yeah." Qiao Jinlan responded, "Looking at the pattern carved on the chain, it should be my second uncle."
She has the original owner's memories.
When her mother was alive, she always told her about her uncle and her maternal grandfather's family.
Even when he was dying, he was still thinking about his family.
Since she had taken over everything from the original owner, if she met her grandparents, she would naturally get it back.
However, there were no clues before, so there was no way to start looking.
She had originally planned to look for him when she went out for a walk after divorcing Lu Yunxu.
That year, my mother's hometown suffered a disaster and many people were missing. Everyone assumed that they had passed away.
It’s not that her mother didn’t send people to look for her, but there was no news.
I really didn't expect to meet you here.
It seems that her uncle is not having a good time.
Lu Yunxu thought for a moment and said, "I'll go find out who that guy is."
He was so arrogant that he stepped on his wife and uncle to bring them down.
Originally, he also disliked that kind of people. Even though he was a playboy in the past, he would never do such a thing.
They had just arrived and based on the principle of "less is more", they didn't do anything.
However, it is different now.
He is his uncle, he absolutely cannot ignore him.
Qiao Jinlan shook her head: "Let's talk about it after my second uncle comes."
"The situation here is more complicated. Sometimes, it is beyond the ability of ordinary manpower to resolve."
This place is always related to gods or something, the situation is unclear, and she doesn't want to put them in a passive position.
Moreover, from her second uncle's appearance, it was obvious that he was not having a good time, but he shouldn't be in a hurry.
Nothing should go wrong in a day or two.
Now keep calm.
If her maternal grandparents were really found, her mother's wish would be fulfilled.
Qiao Jinlan and Lu Yunxu returned to the inn and asked the kitchen to prepare a table of food so that they could have a meal together when their second uncle came.
At that time, while eating and chatting, I will also be able to know what situation my second uncle is in now.
