    When we got off the flower boat at Jinfeng Tower, it was already approaching dusk.  With the support of Laifu and another servant, Xia Lin walked to the shore where the carriage was parked. Before getting on the carriage, Xia Lin turned to look at He An who was following behind, pointed at He An and said: "You and I  "Young Master, come together and get on the carriage." He An was slightly stunned. How could he, a servant, be qualified to ride in Xia Lin's carriage?  However, since Xia Lin gave the order, He An did not dare to disobey, so he responded: "Yes." Then he stepped forward to replace the servant who was supporting Xia Lin, and reached out to support Xia Lin's left arm.  According to the rules, when the young master gets on the carriage, the servant must lie on the ground and use his back as a footrest for the young master.  And He An got on the carriage with Xia Lin, so he also got this treatment.  After He An got on the carriage, Laifu stood up from the ground with great enthusiasm.  He patted the dirt on his clothes, his face full of dissatisfaction and unwillingness.  And He An very politely poked his head out of the carriage, smiled at Laifu and said, "Brother Laifu, thank you" Laifu didn't know what He An's thank you meant.  It was his five taels of silver that he used as a stepping stone.  In short, the more Laifu thought about it, the angrier he became, and in the end he had no choice but to stomp his feet hard to hide, and then gave a loud "poof" to the ground.  The carriage slowly began to move forward. Inside the carriage, Xia Lin waved to He An and said, "Come, take out my calligraphy collection, young master." He An quickly handed the folded paper from his arms to him with both hands.  Xia Lin, Xia Lin shook the paper away, then handed the paper to He An and said, "Come, tell the young master, how many words are written on this?" He An thought for a while and replied: "The young master needs this to have  "How many words are there?" "Hahaha" Xia Lin laughed a few times and nodded in praise: "Okay, it's exciting. I like it, young master. I will follow Han."  "Master, I still need a study boy, I think you are quite suitable." "A study boy?" He An felt excited.  If we want to rank the ranks of the servants in the Xia Mansion, then they should be the housekeeper, housekeeper, maid, accompanying student, guard, maid, servant, servant, handyman As for the master and the accountant, they are not included in this list.  The two categories belong to cultural professions and are more respected by their masters, not servants.  He An's current status is just that of a servant. This promotion to a study boy is equivalent to being promoted to the fourth level in a row.  In this way, not only will his status in the Xia family become higher, but his salary will also increase several times.  Moreover, the accompanying boy would follow the young master in and out at all times, giving him much more freedom than ordinary servants and servants.  He An naturally couldn't ask for such a good thing, so he nodded quickly and said, "Thank you, Master, for your grace, thank you for your cultivation" "No, you deserve all this. Work hard, Master, I am very optimistic about you." After that,  Xia Lin patted He An on the shoulder, looking encouraging.  So there is still a difference between the second-generation officials and ordinary people. Although this gesture of kindness is of no use to He An, if it were another person, how could he still shed tears of gratitude and be deeply moved?  Back at Xia Mansion, He An once again accompanied Xia Lin and stepped on Laifu's back to get out of the carriage.  Since He An and Laifu were servants and could not enter the Xia Mansion through the front door, the five of them watched Xia Lin enter the Xia Mansion gate and then went around to the back door.  During the detour, He An went out to buy a pot of roasted knives and a roasted chicken.  Carrying it and trotting all the way to the garden in the main courtyard, He An shouted to an old man who was pruning the branches and leaves of the trees: "Uncle Qin, I bought you wine and roast chicken. Eat something before you work."  Uncle Qin, who usually seemed a little deaf, turned around immediately when he heard He An's voice.  He looked at He An and smiled kindly.  Just this smile made He An feel a strong sense of intimacy.  He An still remembers that he was in the Tatar livestock pen when he regained consciousness.  Squatting next to him is Uncle Qin.  During the days of waiting in the livestock pen to be selected and purchased, He An gradually recovered some unsystematic memories.  For example, he remembered that he seemed to be a disciple of Qianmen, and that he originally lived in a world with cars, airplanes, and high-rise buildings.  But the world he lives in now is obviously different from the world in his memory, so He An deeply doubts whether his memories are all fake and illusory.  Having said that, I believe many people have already guessed it.  "He An" is Jiang Xia!  And Uncle Qin is actually Hai Dayou.  Hai Dayou and Jiang Xia were buried in the heavy snow at the same time. In the end, Hai Dayou woke up first.  He hid around Tatar with Jiang Xia on his back, and was eventually caught by a group of Tatar traffickers.  Hai Dayou was seriously injured and could only endure.  Fortunately, they were eventually taken to the border market of Daming for trading. After several traffickers changed hands, they were passed over.?Finally came to Fuzhou, Fujian.  Along the way, Hai Dayou knew that great changes had taken place in Ming Dynasty.  Zhu Zaijiang was reinstated as emperor. There were people in Tatar and Ming Dynasties who were secretly looking for Jiang Xia's whereabouts and wanted to take Jiang Xia's life.  Hai Dayou was seriously injured and did not dare to reveal his identity rashly.  So I had to hide my identity in Xia's house.  Hai Dayou pretended to be mute and did not speak.  He just takes good care of Jiang Xia and prepares everything to wait for Jiang Xia's memory to recover before making long-term plans.  Hai Dayou put down the big scissors for trimming the branches and leaves of trees, walked to Jiang Xia and sat down on the spot.  Jiang Xia also sat down with him and handed him the wine and roast chicken.  Hai Dayou took the wine and took a sip, then put it aside.  Then he tore off a drumstick from the roasted chicken and handed it to Jiang Xia, his chin kept raising towards Jiang Xia.  Jiang Xia smiled and took the chicken leg and said: "I went out to eat something good with the young master just now, and now my stomach is bulging. I will keep this chicken drumstick and eat it when I am hungry at night." Hai Da Youxiao  He nodded, then tore off a piece of chicken breast, put it in his mouth and started chewing it.  After just a few bites, Hai Dayou gave Jiang Xia a thumbs up.  Jiang Xia nodded with a smile and said, "Roast chicken is of course delicious when food is the most important thing." When Hai Da heard this, he immediately waved his hand to Jiang Xia, holding the roast chicken in both hands and looking pityful.  Jiang Xia understood that Hai Dayou was saying that roast chicken, which was the most important thing to eat, was expensive, and it was a waste to feed him such expensive food.  Jiang Xia took the roast chicken from Hai Dayou's hand, stretched out his hand to tear the chicken off for him, and then stuffed it into Hai Dayou's hand.  Hai Dayou glanced at Jiang Xia, his eyes full of excitement.  Jiang Xia took this opportunity and asked Hai Dayou: "Uncle Qin, do you know who my parents are?" Hai Dayou glanced at Jiang Xia, hesitated and shook his head, expressing that he didn't know.  Jiang Xia's face darkened slightly, and she asked again: "Then do you know my identity?" Hai Da hesitated for a moment, and finally nodded.  Jiang Xia asked Hai Dayou with a playful smile: "Uncle Qin, tell me, what is my background?" Hai Dayou looked around, and finally focused on the roast chicken in his hand.  He kept pointing at the roasted chicken, so Jiang Xia could only guess tentatively: "You mean my mother is a chicken cook?" "Pah!" Hai Dayou patted Jiang Xia's head hard, and Jiang Xia hurriedly  Cover your head with your hands.  Then he guessed again: "You meanmy father raises chickens?" Hai Dayou kept shaking his head like a rattle. He held the roasted chicken in both hands and made the same pity expression as before.  Jiang Xia was so blessed that he suddenly realized: "Exquisite! Uncle Qin, do you mean that I am of noble origin?" Uncle Qin put the roasted chicken on the ground, and then kept clapping his hands, looking very excited.  look.  Jiang Xia stood up from the ground triumphantly, standing proudly against the wind with his hands on his hips.  He said to himself: "Let me just say that in my memory, I am the head of a thousand sects. No matter how bad my background is, I can't be much worse." After speaking, Jiang Xia said to Hai Dayou: "Uncle Qin, you are so slow  Eat slowly, I'll go get water to fill the water tank in the backyard." Hai Dayou nodded to Jiang Xia, and Jiang Xia turned and left.  After taking a few steps, Jiang Xia suddenly turned around. He grinned and asked Hai Dayou: "Uncle Qin, can you tell me how valuable my status is?" Hai Dayou  He was startled for a moment, then looked up at the sky, as if thinking about how to describe it.  When Jiang Xia saw Hai Da's appearance, he quickly waved his hands and said, "Oh forget it, wait until you figure out how to tell me." After saying that, Jiang Xia turned and left.  When Jiang Xia's figure was about to disappear around the corner of the corridor, Hai Dayou raised his head back.  He looked at Jiang Xia's back and whispered to himself: "Your Majesty, I have told you that you are the emperor!" The words were divided into two parts, and let's talk about Xia Lin.  After Xia Lin returned to the main hall of the Chunlin Garden in the backyard, he did not forget his promise to He An. He reached out and took the hot towel sent by the maid Xiaomei and wiped it, then took a sip of the ginseng tea sent by the maid Fang Fang.  While teasing ginseng tea, Xia Lin said to Fang Fang: "Go and invite Uncle Han over." "Yes, young master." Fang Fang responded and immediately left to find Uncle Han.  After a while, Uncle Han followed Fang Fang to Chunlin Garden.  Seeing Xia Lin, Uncle Han immediately saluted and said, "See you, Master." Xia Lin nodded and said, "Uncle Han, you are welcome. I invite you here today because I want to tell you something." "Master, please tell me." Xia Lin  He said directly: "There is a servant named He An among the servants at home. He knows some writing and is quite clever. I want him to be myAccompany the reading boy so that he can accompany me to the academy to study.  You go make arrangements.  " "With the reading boy?  Uncle Han was obviously a little surprised. After thinking for a while, he said, "Master, I'm afraid there's something wrong with this."  The Second Madam and the Third Madam have each recommended a candidate to the Master. If you decide the matter directly at this moment, I'm afraid" "Bang!  Xia Lin suddenly slapped the small square table beside him, and the ginseng tea on the table fell to the ground. Xia Lin said angrily: "Absurd!"  My young master¡¯s companions, when will it be their turn to make the decision for my young master!  "
