He Zhaofeng got on the carriage and left, leaving the Zhao family with two pitiful beauties suspected to be Zhao Xiangyun.

Ignoring those neighbors who were all interested in inquiring about the lively neighbors, Mrs. Zhao closed the door and glanced at Danrong and Qiuyue who were still standing under the eaves. Old Mrs. Zhao frowned and asked her grandson: "Yanping, which of these two are Xiangyun?"

Gillian had just been waiting for Guo Xing at the door. After hearing the old lady's words, she also looked at the official.

Zhao Yanping looked at Ah Jiao, and said nothing. He called Old Lady Zhao to the chicken coop and whispered to the old lady: "Grandma, no matter who they are Xiangyun or not, before the matter is clear, don't disclose their origin to anyone, including Ah Jiao, my mother, and people from my hometown."

A Jiao came out of Huayue Tower innocently, and was still plagued by rumors. If Danrong and Qiuyue's origin were spread, the spit of those women alone could drown them. Zhao Yanping didn't want his sister to encounter such a thing, nor did he want any poor woman with a poor life to be disturbed by gossip after escaping from the wolf's den.

Old Mrs. Zhao is a woman. She knows better than her grandson how important it is to a woman. When it comes to her granddaughter, Old Mrs. Zhao guaranteed her grandson seriously: "Don't worry, I know what it means. If someone comes to inquire, we will only say that they were sold to a wealthy family as maids by Zhang Kuaizi. He was lucky and found out by Mr. He, and he won't mention anything else."

Zhao Yanping nodded and arranged: "You can take them to the house first to see if there are old scars on their left knee and whether there are shallow moles under their collarbone."

Old Mrs. Zhao was about to go for a checkup, but Zhao Yanping suddenly grabbed the old woman's wrist and reminded: "You should treat both of them as Xiangyun first. Don't ask too much about the past, so as not to reveal their scars."

Zhao Yanping has various means to deal with the suspect, and he can also be asked about it. But Danrong and Qiuyue may be his sister, and Zhao Yanping cannot use the means to deal with the suspect to deal with the two weak women, especially the two women who have experienced ups and downs. His unintentional words with his grandmother may cause both of them to be sad and cry.

Old Mrs. Zhao understood that she took the two beauties to the west room with kind eyes.

Zhao Yanping then turned around and looked at Gillian.

Gillian lowered her head.

The two of them parted in a bad mood last night. In the morning, Master Guan was also cold. At that time, Ah Jiao didn't think too much, but was just annoyed that she shouldn't have talked about anything else at that time. But today, Mr. He came, Ah Jiao was very concerned about Miss Xiangyun's affairs. She wanted to follow the official and the old lady listened to him, but the official gave up her twice.

Gillian suddenly saw her position in this family and clearly saw her position in the mind of the official: just a concubine, the official would be attracted by her beauty and body, but she was not qualified to know the serious Zhao family affairs.

A sound of footsteps came, and Zhao Yanping and Ajiao looked out the door at the same time. Guo Xing was walking back from the yamen.

Gillian looked at the official again. The distinguished guests have left. Do you still have to buy fish and meat?

Zhao Yanping understood her eyes and nodded.

Gillian said to Guo Xing: "Today there are customers at home, you can go to the butcher shop to buy fish and two kilograms of pork."

Guo Xing agreed with a smile, and then waited for the little lady to buy him meat.

Yesterday, Gillian gave her copper coins to Guo Xing, but today the official told her with his actions that she was just an outsider, and Gillian also paid for his own money?

Gillian pretended not to understand Guo Xing's intention and went to the kitchen.

Guo Xing had no choice but to say to Zhao Yanping: "Official, the little lady forgot to buy me meat money."

Zhao Yanping took out half a hanging of money from his money bag and threw it to Guo Xing, and then went to the main hall.

In the west room, I learned that Mrs. Zhao was going to check the scars, birthmarks, Danrong and Qiuyue were obediently untied her dress. As early as when He Zhaofeng wanted to confirm the identities of the two, she also asked the trusted nanny around her to help the two girls check the results, but the results of the examination were not told. So although Danrong and Qiuyue didn't know what Mrs. Zhao was going to check, she also believed that some of her characteristics would probably match the identity of Miss Xiangyun.

Old Mrs. Zhao first checked whether there were light moles on their collarbones.

There are both Danrong and Qiuyue, one on the left and the other on the right.

Old Mrs. Zhao checked the knees on both sides of the left, and they both had new injuries left in the past two or three years, covering up whether there were any scars.

Danrong cried and said, "My grandmother doesn't know. Two years ago, I picked up a young master from the official family. He liked to drop wax oil on people, and I had both knees. The high-quality scar removal medicines in other places were gone, only knees. He, after he dripped wax oil, he still made me kneel down, grinding it so bloody that it was not like that."

Old Mrs. Zhao felt pain when she heard this. After comforting her for a while, she asked, "Xiang Yun broke her left knee when she was a child, leaving a very deep scar. Do you have any impression?"

Danrong's eyes rolled slightly and immediately said, "Some, some, when I first arrived at the brothel, the madam thought the scar was ugly, so she insisted on giving me medicine and it was eliminated. Who would have thought that she would encounter that kind of bird and beast later."

Old Mrs. Zhao always felt that Danrong was more like her granddaughter. If she weren’t close relatives, how could she keep crying and crying when she met?

Old Mrs. Zhao looked at Qiuyue and waited for Qiuyue to explain herself.

Qiuyue's knee was a whip wound. She took off half of her clothes, revealing her snow-white back, but in the middle of the snow-white, there were several light-colored scars everywhere. She turned her back to Mrs. Zhao, Qiuyue tied her clothes and said softly: "Three years ago, I tried to escape from a master's house. I was caught and got whipped. The knee injury was also left at that time."

A weak girl knelt on the ground and was whipped hard in Old Mrs. Zhao's mind.

Old Mrs. Zhao is just a young lady from an ordinary family. No matter how bad she is, she has never witnessed these things with her own eyes. Danrong and Qiuyue are miserable one by one. Old Mrs. Zhao feels very uncomfortable when she hears it, and asks them to wait first. She goes out to discuss with her grandson.

After Mrs. Zhao went out, Danrong wiped her tears and said to Qiuyue: "My sister and I are both pitiful people. They all want to find family reunion. I understand my sister's difficulties in pretending to be me to recognize her relatives. Don't worry, sister. As long as you admit that you are fake, I will advise my grandmother and brother to take you in. With your appearance, he will definitely like it."

Her voice was not low enough to reach the main hall.

Qiuyue neither agreed nor defended anything, but only looked at the curtains in the west room.

In the main hall, Mrs. Zhao told her grandson the scars of the two daughters in sigh.

Zhao Yanping understood more why He Zhaofeng sent two women to him in one breath to identify them. However, knee scars and shallow collarbone moles were not too special birthmarks, so Zhao Yanping did not expect to identify his sister based on these two characteristics.

"It's better to let your mother come over. She must know the daughter she gave birth to herself." Old Mrs. Zhao suggested.

Zhao Yanping was silent.

He asked his mother and sister more than once what birthmarks they had. The only two characteristics that his mother could remember. In terms of appearance, Danrong and Qiuyue all had slight similarities with them. He and his grandmother could not identify them based on their appearance, and their mother probably could not.

Zhao Yanping made the decision and said, "Let's observe for a while. If you can't recognize it before the end of the month, I will pick up my mother and go now. If there is no one in the end, Xiangyun will only make my mother cry in vain."

Old Mrs. Zhao whispered: "I see Danrong's appearance, and when she cries, I feel distressed."

Zhao Yanping believed in the evidence even more. It would be fine if both of them really thought they were sisters. If someone deliberately pretended to be a fool, they would definitely show their strength in time.

"I'll go to the yamen to have a day off, and then find some wooden boards to piece together a bed. Let them sleep with you first during this period." Zhao Yanping drank a bowl of water and was about to go to the county government to take leave.

Old Mrs. Zhao listened to her grandson.

Zhao Yanping rode back to the county government. Xie Ying learned that He Zhaofeng had sent two beauties suspected to be Xiangyun. He thought for a moment: "Zhang Guaizi is from Dacheng County. He kidnapped and most of the girls he bought were in the area of ​​Fucheng. I first check the files of the girl's missing case in this county over the years to see if there are any girls of the same age as your sister. Maybe they can find clues related to the two girls. If this county cannot be found, I will write a book and ask other magistrates for help."

Zhao Yanping immediately knelt down.

Xie Ying immediately walked around the desk, helped him up with both hands and said, "You and I are friends of life and death. If you see each other like this, I won't help you check."

Zhao Yanping didn't know what to say. The word "Xie" was too light to express his gratitude to Xie Ying for helping him find his sister so hard.

Xie Ying smiled and said, "Everything in the world is destined. If you weren't for your ability to be a captain, I wouldn't appreciate you, and Mr. He wouldn't have a connection with you, so if you want to thank you, just thank you yourself. Okay, there's nothing wrong with the yamen today, so you can go back and settle two girls."

Zhao Yanping said goodbye.

After leaving the yamen, Zhao Yanping went to the carpenter's house.

It is too expensive to buy a finished bed, and it is not certain whether the two girls have sisters. To be frugal, Zhao Yanping picked up a few boards and went home.

In the hot summer, Zhao Yanping took off his shirt, knocked and beat the backyard with bare shirt, and made a simple wooden bed with his own hands.

Old Mrs. Zhao sat in the west room, talking with Danrong and Qiuyue.

Guo Xing bought the fish and the meat was handed over to Gillian.

When the old lady Zhao heard the voice, she walked out and ordered Guo Xing, "It's hot, and I can't sell a few things anyway. Go and call Cui Niang back and ask Cui Niang to cook, and go to the backyard to help the official get a bed."

Guo Xing said "ah" and went out to find his sister.

Old Mrs. Zhao looked at Ah Jiao again and ordered, "You go and wash two new dishes, and wait for Cui Niang to come back to work on other tasks."

Gillian's skillfulness is kept for needlework and thread, so Mrs. Zhao is reluctant to let Gillian take a heavy job.

Gillian went to the kitchen to work hard.

When the old lady Zhao turned around, she saw Danrong and Qiuyue came out of the west room at some point, standing side by side at the door.

Danrong asked curiously: "Grandmother, is Gillian Jiao's concubine? Who is Cui Niang?"

Old Mrs. Zhao explained briefly.

Danrong thoughtful.

Qiuyue said, "I'll go to the kitchen to help the little lady do things."

Old Mrs. Zhao stopped her and snorted: "If you have a maid at home, you don't need to do anything. Come on, let's sit here and be ventilated and cool."

Old Mrs. Zhao pulled one with one hand and pulled Danrong and Qiuyue to the north gate of the main hall to sit down.

In this location, Zhao Yanping, who can make a bed with wooden boards in the backyard, can see clearly.

Zhao Yanping is tall and tall, burly and strong. Regardless of his identity and family background, his appearance stands out among men.

Qiuyue glanced away and looked away.

Danrong secretly glanced at Zhao Yanping several times while drinking water.

Unfortunately, Mrs. Zhao was determined to praise her grandson and did not notice it.
