Chapter 546

The lieutenant did not bring Chen Jiaying into the room to speak, but sat down at a stone table in the small courtyard.

At this time, the autumn is high and the air is crisp, and the place is surrounded by mountains. Sitting in the courtyard is cool but not chilly, and it can also avoid the suspicion of plums falling in front of melons.

The guard brought two cups of rough tea, and then disappeared into the darkness.

"Miss Chen, you may as well speak up if you have something to say. If you can speak, I will definitely tell you the truth." After sitting down, the lieutenant cut to the chase.

Chen Jiaying nodded and said, "Thank you, my lord. The daughter of the people came here today to ask for your help."

"Don't know what?"

"Minnv wants to ask my lord to take me to Beijing." Chen Jiaying said solemnly.

The lieutenant frowned, wondering why Chen Jiaying made such an abrupt request.

He wasn't so naive as to think that the generous and well-educated girl in front of him would take a fancy to him.

This kind of thing may be possible if you change it to a suave scholar, but if you change it to a big soldier, it is basically a myth.

It seems that no fairy in the myth would have a romantic story with a soldier, and even Dong Yongna was a cowherd.

After all, he is also a big farmer.

"Why does the girl want to enter Beijing?" The lieutenant asked in a deep voice.

"The daughter of the people wants to go to Beijing to meet His Royal Highness the Prince Regent." Chen Jiaying said bluntly.

But it sounded like a thunderclap to the lieutenant's ears, and he almost couldn't help but get up.

In the hearts of all the soldiers of the Qin Army, Jiang Chuan was the absolute supreme creator, the goal they would desperately defend, and even their belief.

Anything about Jiang Chuan is worth paying attention to with their lives.

"Why does the girl want to see His Highness?" The lieutenant's voice suddenly became extremely cold, his eyes were looking directly at Chen Jiaying, and he even put his hand on the handle of the revolver at his waist.

Chen Jiaying felt that the temperature around her seemed to drop several degrees in an instant, and the lieutenant's cold and menacing eyes made her feel as if she had been locked by a fierce tiger.

Although she had always been generous and calm, she couldn't help but lose her color at this moment, her body shrank back involuntarily, and there was a look of fear in her eyes.

The atmosphere was eerily quiet for a moment.

Looking at Chen Jiaying's expression, the lieutenant realized that he had overreacted.

If Chen Jiaying had malicious intentions, she would find a way to tamper with the meal today, so why would she come to her alone at night and tell her bluntly.

The lieutenant relaxed a little, looked at Chen Jiaying and said in a deep voice: "This matter is of great importance, so I should tell the girl frankly. Otherwise, the girl will bear all the consequences."

Chen Jiaying finally came to her senses, she realized that she was indeed a little abrupt.

"Forgive me, my lord. The girl did not have any evil intentions. If she wanted to go to Beijing to see His Highness, she just wanted to find someone. If she wanted to find him, perhaps only His Royal Highness the Prince Regent could help the girl in this world. That's why I came here to ask for an audience. grown ups."

Chen Jiaying sat up straight and said with a wry smile.

"Could it be the elder brother you said before that you have heard nothing about your study abroad trip?" The lieutenant remembered what Chen Jiaying said in the afternoon.

"It's just to find my missing brother. To tell you the truth, the daughter of the people is originally from Jiangnan, surnamed Liu. My brother Liu Yong went to study abroad three years ago. At the beginning, there was still correspondence, but then the news was cut off. Now his life and death are uncertain. .

Minnv's hometown was ravaged by Japanese pirates two years ago. Minnv fled from her hometown with an old servant and a maid in desperation. She came here after being displaced. Finally, she was taken in by my father, so she stayed here settled down.

Out of various considerations, Minnv changed her surname to Chen and named herself Jiaying, and settled here as her father's daughter.Because I read some books with my brother and learned some accounting and calculation skills, I can help my father, so my father gradually entrusted me to take care of the affairs of the village, until today. "

When Chen Jiaying talked about these things, her tone was calm, but the lieutenant also wanted to know how much pain she had suffered as a little girl who fled from Jiangnan to come here.

However, this is also the norm in troubled times, and Chen Jiaying is not alone.

Moreover, what she said just now was similar to what the lieutenant had inquired before, the difference was nothing more than some details.

In fact, the reason why Chen Laocai respected Chen Jiaying so much was not because she had read books and could settle accounts as Chen Jiaying said, but more importantly, Chen Jiaying saved Chen Laocai's life.

Not long after Chen Laocai took in Chen Jiaying, he fell seriously ill.

The illness came in a threatening manner, and Chen Laocai, who had always been in good health, was knocked down all of a sudden, lying on the bed dying, looking like he was going to die soon.

Chen Laocai had no son in his life, and his wife only gave birth to a few daughters for him, and in the end, only the youngest was left, who was only five or six years old at the time.

Seeing that he was dying, Chen Laocai was worried about whether he would have the incense to inherit the family property.

His wife is also a country woman, she doesn't have any ideas, she only knows how to cry every day, at a loss.

In the end, Chen Jiaying took the attitude of giving it a try, and personally took the medicine from a prescription she had read in the medical books. Afterwards, she searched for the medicine in the mountains, and boiled the medicine herself, and finally rescued Chen Laocai from the ghost gate.

After going through this experience, Chen Laocai completely admired and appreciated Chen Jiaying, and expressed his intention to adopt Chen Jiaying as a righteous daughter.

Moreover, Chen Jiaying not only knew medical skills and saved her life, but also could write and count.

Based on these factors, Chen Laocai wanted to keep Chen Jiaying in Chenjiazhuang and become his daughter, and help him find another son-in-law in the future, so that he can inherit his family business after giving birth to a grandson.

Chen Jiaying is also a person who values ​​kindness, so she agreed, changed her name, stayed in Chenjiazhuang, and became the actual principal of Chenjiazhuang.

Even though Chen Jiaying was young, she was very convincing in handling things, so over time, everyone in Zhuangzi admired her.

This is why the lieutenant saw that when he led the troops into the village.

Hearing this, and confirming with the information he inquired, the lieutenant basically believed Chen Jiaying's words.

And I have more admiration for Chen Jiaying. In the troubled times, a little girl is struggling to find her brother, and she can repay her benefactor with such affection and righteousness. Such a person is really rare.

But the lieutenant didn't pay attention to this. After a moment of silence, he asked in a deep voice, "Even if I believe what the girl said, why does the girl think that His Highness can help you find your brother?"

Chen Jiaying was silent for a while, took out a few letters from her arms and put them on the stone table, and said in a low voice: "These are the letters my brother wrote to me after he left. In the last letter he said that he He failed the scientific examination in the capital and planned to travel abroad. Since then, there has been no news."
