Chapter 117 Redemption
Another morning.

when the sun rises.

Shen Lin got up as usual, washed, dressed, and stood in front of the mirror to arrange his clothes.

The official uniforms of the Qingshui county yamen servants are dark black, giving people an indescribable aura of oppression.

There's nothing wrong with it other than being ugly.

Thinking of this, Shen Lin sighed lightly.

Last time I went to give my master some advice on changing official uniforms, but my master mercilessly rejected it!

One word!

No money!

Yamen is poor!
Qingshui County is a small county, and the county government doesn't have much tax revenue. Apart from paying salaries to the government servants, there is not much food left.

Therefore, the days of the county government can be regarded as digging and digging.

After hesitating to arrange his clothes, Shen Lin finally continued to sigh.

Get out!

Go to Ya!

I wanted to take advantage of this injury to take a vacation, secretly sneaking around for a few more days.

Who would have thought that the county magistrate would have caught him because of Xu Ping'an's affairs yesterday, and he would have put an end to Shen Lin's idea of ​​being lazy.

No way, people are under the eaves.

Had to bow his head.

"Brother Shen Lin?!"

Just as Shen Lin just walked out of the door, he found that Lin Miaomiao had just walked to the door of his room at some point. Seeing Shen Lin coming out, a smile soon appeared on his small face: "It's time for breakfast!"

"Ok?"

Shen Lin was startled, only to realize that Miao Miao had woken up early.

Glancing at the other side not far away, hot porridge and steamed buns were placed on the table, and he was taken aback.

Looking at the radiant Miao Miao in front of her again, she realized something: "You...made breakfast?"

"Yes!"

Lin Miaomiao nodded her head and said: "Brother Shen Lin, you are going to work in the yamen today, hurry up and eat something, or you will be late later..."

With that said, Lin Miaomiao hurriedly pushed Shen Lin to the table.

Shen Lin looked at the hot breakfast on the table and the pretty Miao Miao beside him, and for a moment didn't know what to say.

Uncle Lin asked him to take care of Miao Miao, but why does it feel like Miao Miao is taking care of him now?

Laundry, cooking, and cleaning are proficient in everything.Ever since Miao Miao came, she has tidied up Shen Lin's place in an orderly manner.

Shen Lin was not used to being so diligent.

On weekdays, he seldom cooks breakfast alone, and basically eats outside.Even after Liu Xu came and he went out to eat, he would still bring a portion for that woman.

But right now, this early in the morning, Miao Miao actually prepared breakfast and waited for him.

This made Shen Lin both moved and distressed.

"Why do you get up so early?"

Shen Lin sighed: "Actually, there is no need to make breakfast for me in the morning."

"It's fine!"

Lin Miaomiao didn't care, her delicate eyes were clear with a smile: "I always get up so early, so I did it by the way...Okay, I'm going to be late, Brother Shen Lin, hurry up and eat!"

Under Miao Miao's urging, Shen Lin prepared to go out to the office after having breakfast.

"Then I'll go to the county office first. Be careful at home, don't go out casually, and don't open the door to strangers, you understand?"

Before going out, Shen Lin instructed carefully.

"Brother Shen Lin, don't worry, I'll remember, I won't go out!"

Lin Miaomiao stood pretty at the door, with a sweet smile on her little face.

The girl was wearing a light-colored long dress, her long black and soft hair was scattered casually, and her eyes were as clear as rippling autumn water.

Like a little wife watching her husband go out, with a kind of virtuous temperament all over her body, she sent Shen Lin out. Lin Miaomiao stood quietly at the door and watched Shen Lin leave.

After a long time, he reluctantly closed the door.

……

County government.

"Brother Shen!"

Early in the morning, as soon as Shen Lin stepped into the county office, Xu Pingan came up and greeted him.

"Brother Shen, are you going to have breakfast?"

"Don't eat it, I've eaten it!"

Shen Lin shook his head and refused.

"Um?!"

Xu Pingan was startled, looked at Shen Lin up and down, his eyes were a little strange: "Brother Shen, have you changed your sex?"

"what happened?"

"... What time is it? Didn't you always come to the county office to report for duty before going to have breakfast? Why did you come here after breakfast suddenly today?"

Not right!

With Brother Shen's lazy character in the past, how could he miss the opportunity to fish during his errand time?
"I ate it at home!"

Shen Lin glanced at him and sighed, "Miao Miao made breakfast!"

Xu Pingan: "..."

He suddenly felt hurt!

"Sister Miaomiao is really virtuous and ingenious..."

After a while, Xu Pingan sighed.

"indeed!"

Shen Lin nodded in approval.

Miao Miao is indeed the most sensible, obedient, virtuous and ingenious girl he has ever met.

"So, Brother Shen..."

Xu Pingan hesitated for a moment, looked at Shen Lin, and suddenly said, "Is that the relationship between you and sister Miaomiao?"

"Ok?"

Shen Lin looked back at Xu Pingan strangely, with doubts on his face.When he saw the expression on Xu Ping'an's face, he quickly thought of something.

"What are you thinking?! Stop talking nonsense!"

"no?"

"no!"

"Really?!"

"..."

"Miaomiao is my sister!"

Shen Lin said angrily: "Don't just talk nonsense here."

"Brother Shen, you and sister Miaomiao are living together, can I still be talking nonsense?"

Xu Ping'an pouted: "Besides, it's not your own sister."

"That's the time when Miao Miao stayed with me temporarily, it's not what you think!"

Shen Lin said in a bad mood: "Miaomiao and I are innocent, besides, Miaomiao is still young, so don't talk nonsense in the future, you know?"

"Ok."

Seeing Brother Shen's serious expression, Xu Ping'an also restrained his mind, but soon remembered what happened last night, and couldn't help but said, "But Brother Shen, you have to be careful!"

"Ok?"

"I suspect one thing..."

Xu Pingan looked around, and after making sure there was no one around, he leaned into Shen Lin's ear: "I suspect, that Miss Xu also likes you!"

"Who?"

Shen Lin showed doubts.

"Miss Xu, that Fengtiansi..."

The expression on Shen Lin's face froze, and he glanced at him inexplicably: "How did you see that?"

"Brother Shen, can't you feel it?"

"What do I feel?"

"At once……"

Xu Pingan didn't know how to explain, hesitated for a while, and told what happened last night.

"After I finished talking to her last night, I found that her complexion was not very good. It seems that she must be jealous!"

Shen Lin: "???"

What is Xu Pingan talking nonsense about?

There is not much overlap between him and Xu Nuo, if it is necessary to get involved, it is probably a misunderstanding when they first met.

Other than that, there was little overlap between him and Xu Nuo.

Can she like herself?
Is she sick?

"Don't talk nonsense here, she can't like me, you should accept it quickly, or think about yourself first, by the way, how are you and Miss Xiao Li?"

Shen Lin glanced at him.

When mentioning Miss Xiaoli, Xu Pingan, who was still eloquent and eloquent, suddenly started to stutter.

The expression also began to gradually become a little tangled.

"Just, that's it..."

"that's it?"

Shen Lin frowned: "Don't tell me that you still haven't made any progress with her?"

He has already helped him so many times, and if there is no progress, he can really dig a hole and bury himself!
"Yeah, it's not..."

Xu Ping'an looked shy, and hesitated a little bit uneasy: "Yesterday, I, I sent Miss Xiaoli to go back, and I can feel that her reaction to me has changed a lot. Yes, there should be some drama, right?"

His tone was uncertain.

Shen Lin raised her eyebrows: "After you sent her back yesterday, didn't she invite you to sit at home?"

"Invited, invited." Xu Pingan blushed slightly.

"how about you?"

"I……"

Xu Ping'an's expression was a little excited, but soon he was a little annoyed: "I, I refused!"

Shen Lin: "?"

"I, I didn't think about it that much at the time. I thought about sending her home. I was afraid that she would be tired, so I thought about not disturbing her."

Xu Pingan said cautiously.

Seeing that Shen Lin was silent, he said again: "Yesterday, last night I wanted to ask Brother Shen to come and analyze with me..."

"Don't look for me, I can't analyze it!"

Shen Lin was silent for a long time before finally speaking.

He has seen straight ones, but never seen ones so stupid.

Miss Xiao Li almost made it clear, but he still didn't feel it at all?

Deserves to be single forever!

"Your own business, handle it yourself!"

Shen Lin waved his hand: "Don't look for me, I can't help you!"

After speaking, Shen Lin turned and left.

"Hey, hey Brother Shen!"

Seeing Shen Lin walking towards the county government office, Xu Pingan became a little anxious: "Brother Shen, you, you wait for me, this, this time you really want to help me!"

"..."

Outside the gate of Spring Breeze Garden.

on the street.

Two figures appeared on the street.

Shen Lin glanced not far away, then glanced at Xu Pingan beside him.

"So, you really made up your mind?"

"Ok!"

Xu Pingan hesitated, but when his eyes fell on the Chunfeng Garden not far away, he made up his mind and gritted his teeth: "I will redeem Miss Xiaoli from Chunfeng Garden and take her out of this place!"

He has admired Miss Xiao Li for a long time, and now he finally has a chance, he must let Miss Xiao Li escape from the sea of ​​suffering.

"Think about it, it will take a lot of money to redeem her... Do you have so much money?" Shen Lin asked again
Xu Ping'an gritted his teeth and said, "I've also accumulated some money over the years, and I'll borrow some more when the time comes, and it should be almost enough!"

"Ok?"

Shen Lin was a little surprised: "How much money have you accumulated?"

Xu Pingan thought for a while, and said with a guilty conscience: "Probably... more than 100 taels."

Shen Lin: "..."

Xu Pingan was a little uneasy: "Yes, is it missing?"

"I do not know either!"

Shen Lin sighed lightly, he had never redeemed anyone before, so he didn't know how much it would cost to redeem someone from a brothel.

But the instinctive feeling should be much worse.

"Go and ask first!"

Shen Lin spoke.

After speaking, he led Xu Ping'an to Chunfengyuan.

"Shen catch, Xu catch?!"

The bustard at the door saw the two of them, and hurriedly greeted them with joy on his face: "Why are you two here today?"

Shen Lin nodded slightly: "There is something I want to talk to you about, can I take a step to talk?"

The old bustard had sharp eyes, looked at Shen Lin, then looked at Xu Pingan, who looked slightly restrained and nervous, and quickly understood what was going on, nodded: "You two, come with me!"

"..."

In Spring Breeze Garden, in a certain room.

"So, Xu Zuo, you want to redeem Xiao Li's life?"

The old bustard's beautiful eyes fell on Xu Ping'an and asked.

Xu Ping was a little nervous: "Yes, yes..."

The old bustard sighed lightly, with a look of embarrassment on his face: "This, I'm afraid it won't work!"

Xu Ping'an was shocked: "Why, why?"

The old bustard said: "Xu Chau doesn't know, this Xiao Li was raised by my slave family from a young age. The slave family taught her piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and trained her for many years. Now Xiao Li is the most important card in my Spring Breeze Garden. If you will She redeemed her, so what can I do in Chunfengyuan?"

The bustard began to sell miserably!
Where has Xu Ping'an seen such a scene before, it seems quite reasonable?

The old bustard has worked so hard to train Miss Li for so many years, wouldn't it be a loss if he redeemed her?

"That, that..."

Xu Pingan felt helpless for a while, and looked at Brother Shen who was at the side for help.

He called Brother Shen over this time because he was worried that he might not be able to handle it.

Shen Lin is naturally not that easy to deceive!
He saw at a glance that the old bustard was selling miserably!
Miss Xiao Li is indeed famous in Chunfeng Garden, but it is far from reaching the status of an oiran.

The old bustard's move was nothing more than wanting to sell it for a price.

"Stop talking nonsense, just tell me directly, how much money does it cost to redeem Miss Xiaoli!" Shen Lin cut straight to the point.

The old bustard was startled, she didn't expect Shen Chen to be so forthright, hesitated for a moment, and said: "Shen Qiu, Xu Tuo, I spent a lot of money to cultivate this little Li, and I have always treated her like my own daughter. But now If Xu Chu and Xiao Li are in love, the slave family is willing to sell it to Shen Chu and Xu Chu. Xiao Li's contract of sale is with the slave family. If Xu Chu wants to redeem Xiao Li's body, then give this number... "

Saying that, the old bustard stretched out two fingers.

Xu Pingan looked at it, and immediately looked happy: "200 taels?"

The bustard shook his head: "2000 taels!"

The smile on Xu Ping'an's face disappeared immediately.

2000 taels? !

It costs 2000 taels to redeem Miss Xiaoli?
His monthly salary is only ten taels of silver. Based on this calculation, if he wants to redeem Miss Xiao Li, wouldn't he have to live without food or drink for 20 years? !
"This……"

Xu Ping'an's face turned red all of a sudden, he hesitated and couldn't speak.

2000 taels, how can he get it out?

Even if it is a loan, you can't borrow so much money, right?
"No, can't it be less?"

"Xu Chu, this, this is already the biggest concession I can give..."

Seeing this, the old bustard sighed: "The slave family has invested a lot in Xiao Li over the years, this is already a loss-making business..."

"This, but..."

Xu Ping'an couldn't speak for a while, and was almost at a loss.

2000 taels, where can he get it?
"too expensive!"

At this time, Shen Lin on the side spoke again.

2000 yuan, thanks to her big mouth, isn't this a robbery?

If it is in other places, such as those places in the capital, it is not surprising that thousands of taels are redeemed.

But in a place like Qingshui County, 2000 taels is no different from Rob!

"Although you did spend a lot of money on Xiao Li, but Xiao Li has also made you a lot of money over the years, right?"

Shen Lin said: "Besides, Miss Xiao Li agrees with my brother, you don't want to beat the mandarin ducks, do you?"

"We are all old acquaintances, so a little help is a little bit, isn't your 2000 taels embarrassing people?"

"But……"

The bustard hesitated.

She also knew that Xu Ping'an couldn't come up with 2000 taels.

But Xiao Li is of great value to her, if this is redeemed casually, she will suffer a lot.

"Then Shen Chu thinks, how much money is appropriate?" The bustard threw the question to Shen Lin.

Shen Lin thought for a while, and said, "How about 500 taels?!"

"no!"

The bustard refused without even thinking about it!
