Chapter 111
Housekeeper Wei lowered his body and reported respectfully: "The old slaves have already investigated clearly, among them Qian Hongxian, Ren Caiyan, He Xiaoxiao, Liu Minzhi, Lu Wenxin, and Chi Zhu are all from ordinary backgrounds, and Qian Hongxian died when he was young. Father, grew up with a widowed mother. Ren Caiyan is the daughter of a merchant, and her family was fairly prosperous in her early years, but later the business failed and the family fell into poverty. He Xiaoxiao's father used to be a cook in a restaurant, but he injured his hand in an accident The restaurant resigned, and the family relied on her mother to help others to do some odd jobs. Lu Wenxin's family opened a grocery store, but there were many brothers and sisters in the family, and life was a bit reluctant. Chi Zhu and Liu Minzhi's family were ordinary The old slave did not find anything suspicious. But this Zou Biyue is the daughter of the shopkeeper of Zuixianlou, and her family background is not bad, and the old slave found out that she seems to be here for you, my lord." Wei Butler said After that, he took a look at Ji Nanjin's reaction and saw that there was no obvious emotion on his face, so he continued: "The other is this Lin Yuyan, the old slave found out...she seems to be related to the Lin family."

"The Lin family? Which Lin family?" Ji Nanjin asked.

Wei Guanjia said: "It's the home of Lord Lin Zongle, who resigned from office back then."

Ji Nanjin pondered and said, "You said she is Master Lin's family?"

Steward Wei said: "According to what I heard from this old slave, she seems to be the granddaughter of Master Lin."

Hearing this, Ji Nanjin couldn't help showing deep thought: "It's really suspicious that the granddaughter of a dignified generation of emperors came to Ji's mansion to be a cook. When you were looking for someone to investigate, did you find out if anything happened to the Lin family recently?"

Steward Wei shook his head and apologized: "Forgive me for my incompetence. I only heard that Lord Lin is sick and has been bedridden for many months. The Lin family is getting worse day by day, but it has not yet reached the point where my young lady needs to come out to work as a cook. The level of the mother. The old slave guessed that Miss Lin's move should have other purposes, as for what the old slave wants to do, I don't know."

Ji Nanjin looked out the window without saying a word, with a pensive expression on her face.

Steward Wei stood aside, not daring to speak rashly, and said after a long while, "In my opinion, the best cook among them is Miss Hong Xian, and her family background is clean and simple. Why don't you bring her back home?" In the capital, there is no need to spend any more time on the next culinary assessment."

"Are you sure that what you found about her is true?" Ji Nanjin looked back and asked indifferently.

Butler Wei didn't know why the young master asked such a question, but he always felt that there should be other meanings in the young master's words.

Could it be that the girl also has problems?
Thinking of this, he reported in detail what he had found about the money red line: "The old slave has checked the situation of her family. She has no father but mother, and there are no brothers or sisters in the family. The mother and daughter live in the Qing Dynasty. Hecun has lived with each other for more than ten years, and the family population and neighbor relations are very simple, so the old servant guessed that she should have no problems, and the young master should feel at ease when he brings her back to the capital."

"What do you mean she doesn't have a father?" Ji Nanjin frowned lightly.

Wei Guanjia said: "The old slave found out that their family moved to Qinghe Village more than ten years ago. Her father used to be a servant of a rich family, but he died before she was born. Her mother relied on acting as a matchmaker. Raised her alone."
