Chapter 1796: Chapter 1796: Sending a Letter

The Little Yan Tai was stunned while holding the cup and drinking water, and with a clatter, the cup fell to the ground, chipping a corner... Ah ah ah, compensation will be needed!

He quickly climbed down from the chair, picked up the cup along with the chipped corner, placed them on the table, and grabbed Little Pingxi’s arm, peeking his head from behind him, with his round eyes wide open, looking at Gao Dakun: "Is this, a lie?"

Little Pingxi was also stunned, only snapping back to reality when he was grabbed, and asked: "Do you really know who Little Yan Tai’s father is? Not lying?"

Gao Dakun nodded: "With Lord Company Commander here, I wouldn’t dare deceive you two young men."

He continued: "That Young Master Yan also left some silver and reported the residence."

At this point, Gao Dakun paused, thinking for quite a while before saying: "There seem to be two residences left, one is Daliang Prefecture, the other the Capital... It seems they said they wanted to escape to the Capital but feared losing the ancestral business in Daming Prefecture, so they would leave people in Daliang Prefecture."

Little Pingxi was extremely happy to hear this, but also felt that Gao Dakun was not detailed enough, fearing deception, he looked at Qin San Lang, saying: "Uncle Qin?"

Qin San Lang patted his head, looked toward Gao Dakun, and asked: "What is the person’s name? In which street or alley are the residences located? Did they leave any proof when they entrusted you with finding someone? Such as name cards or letters?"

Moreover...

"Did they say what Little Yan Tai’s name is?" Qin San Lang pulled out Little Yan Tai from behind Little Pingxi. This child was indeed a bit timid.

Little Yan Tai was about the same age as Little Pingxi, but he lost contact with his family early on and didn’t know what his name was.

As for the nickname Little Yan Tai, it’s what the old man who found him called him, but the old man also said it was told to him when he found him.

In short, the name is quite mysterious, and nobody knows what it’s called.

"You’ve got me stumped." Gao Dakun said with genuine guilt: "Originally, it was a name card and a letter that was left; the letter should have the address of the residence, but over the past two years, too many things have happened, it got lost during the escape... As for what the young master is called, only remember his surname is Yan, the name was mentioned, but I forgot."

The Northwest is chaotic, often losing women and children. Their family runs an inn, and every few days people come to look for someone, and many people entrust them with finding someone.

With so many people entrusting them, they don’t really focus on it. After all, almost none of them can be found. If it weren’t for Little Yan Tai staying in the inn with Company Commander Qin, Gao Dakun wouldn’t dare offend the Military Officer, so only paid more attention to him for a day, plus he looked like Young Master Yan, otherwise, he’d really forget about this matter.

Bang, Company Commander Jin slapped the table, angrily said: "How come you don’t know anything? You’ve accepted someone’s silver but aren’t attentive at all, what if because of you, others can’t reunite with their father?!"

Boss Gao and Gao Dakun were startled, hurriedly kneeling: "Lord Company Commander, please don’t be angry, it’s the fault of the Gao family... We will try to remember today, and once we recall, we will immediately report it... Silver, allow us to repay slowly, we really can’t come up with five taels of silver at once."

Boss Gao and his son were quite afraid of soldiers and felt guilty for accepting five taels of silver but failing to achieve the task, so proactively mentioned repaying the silver.

"No, it’s not necessary." Little Yan Tai bravely said: "You’re also considered to have helped me."

After speaking, he cried. Five taels of silver, it could buy a lot of soybeans to eat.

Little Pingxi almost cried too, five taels of silver, enough for them to eat for a long time.

Company Commander Jin watched with a headache: "Stop crying, if you can’t let go, then let them repay."

"No need to repay, no need to repay, Boss is very kind." Little Yan Tai hurriedly said, then looked at Qin San Lang, his little thin face was tangled, worried, scared, finally gritted his teeth, and asked: "Company Commander Qin, when, when I find my dad, I’ll have him pay for the food."

Qin San Lang wanted to laugh hearing this, but he was delighted that Little Yan Tai was so sensible: "Yes, talk about it when you find your dad."

Upon hearing this, Little Yan Tai was about to cry again, he chased and asked: "Company Commander Qin, if I can’t find my dad, will you throw me away?"

The other little kids listened and all looked at Qin San Lang.

Little Pingxi was unhappy, he glared at them and said: "My Uncle Qin has said many times, even if you can’t find your family, you won’t be thrown away, they will find someone to adopt you... You don’t have to work until you are fifteen, there is food to eat, after fifteen, you will then find work yourself."

Xiao Xinghua cried: "Ooo, but I’m a girl, I can’t work, otherwise it will be hard to find a husband."

Company Commander Jin wanted to crash into the wall, this group of kids is really able to imagine things, you little girl what age are you already thinking about finding a husband?

He felt a bit sorry for Qin San Lang, because Little Pingxi played well with this group of kids, Qin family’s couple ended up with a bunch of little troubles, looking at what Xiao Xinghua said, it seems Qin family’s couple will have to care for her until she gets married.

But Qin San Lang said: "You guys, now thinking too much is useless, before you get married, you should think about how to survive? There are many children in the world who die young."

Uh, this kind of talk instantly cut off Xiao Xinghua’s idea of relying on them for life.

Xiao Xinghua dared not cry anymore, nor dare say anything outrageous.

Qin San Lang also didn’t know how to look after kids, seeing that it’s still early before noon, he addressed the room full of little kids: "Go to the backyard to practice horse stance."

Exercise a bit, and be healthy.

However, Little Pingxi and Little Yan Tai were left behind.

The other little kids were very envious, especially the little girls.

"Come, follow me." Zhang Zhong called them, leading them to the backyard to practice horse stance.

Company Commander Jin watched the backs of a group of boys and girls leaving, his gaze fell on those little girls, silently thinking: Better send them to Ms. Gao Lei’s care early, otherwise, fear they will be trained into female soldiers by Company Commander Qin.

"Get up." Qin San Lang instructed the Gao family father and son to stand up, and then had the soldiers beside him fetch pen, ink, paper, and ink stone, once the items were fetched, he again questioned the Gao family father and son, and Little Yan Tai a bit.

While in Gu Family Village, they had been asked three times, and now asking again, it was just to know certain details, but Little Yan Tai was too young when he lost contact with his family, less than four years old, he couldn’t remember much.

The speech was also not fluent, half of the things were said by Little Pingxi on his behalf.

Once thoroughly questioned, Qin San Lang began writing letters to Daliang Prefecture and Jingzhao Mansion, detailing how in the eleventh year of Jingyuan, the Yan family passed through Gaoshui County, Young Master Yan entrusted the Gao family father and son to find his son, and how Little Yan Tai came to Gaoshui County, what happened to him, and what the current situation is, all clearly written.

Finally, he requested Daliang Prefecture and Jingzhao Mansion to deliver the letters to the Yan family, letting the Yan family know that the child they lost might have been found, and they should quickly come to confirm.

If confirmed, take him home for care!

Then he took out two sheets of paper and ink pad, calling out to Little Yan Tai: "Come over, place your handprint."

Qin San Lang had heard about the Yan family in Daming Prefecture, considered a noble family, and such families generally have the habit of taking handprints of newborns, to ensure that the child won’t be swapped by others in the future.

"Oh~" Little Yan Tai was a bit scared, obediently placed his handprint, then cried out: "Company Commander Qin, if, if my dad doesn’t recognize me... can I come back to find you?"
