Chapter 472 This girl is incredibly bold
Lin Chang'er paused. A beautiful carriage? A new face?
She asked about the other person's appearance, and then she had a guess in her mind.
The old man had been teaching for so many years, and he was originally a disciplined and rigid person.
Only after spending a long time in Linshui Village did I pick up a slight air of unconventionality.
But the essence will not change. He said he wanted to recognize her as his goddaughter, but he certainly wouldn't just open his mouth and think he had gained a daughter by taking advantage of her.
Otherwise, he wouldn't have been delayed for so long on his way back this time.
She must have informed everyone in the Chen family who had influence. If she's not mistaken, the person who came today should be the "most promising" member of the Chen family right now.
Lin Chang'er thought to herself, and without hesitation, followed Huo Shiyi out to greet them.
Under Zhou Hai's guidance, Chen Shanzhang and his group were heading inside.
The two groups unexpectedly met on the way.
Lin Chang'er greeted them first, "You're finally back! If you hadn't come back soon, I would have thought you had forgotten the way!"
Chen Shanchang chuckled, "How could that be? There are difficulties with having a large family!"
He smiled and raised his hand, "I won't introduce your second brother, Chen Zhao's father. You can call him Second Brother from now on."
Then, pointing to the elegantly dressed stranger, he said, "This is your eldest cousin, Chen Ming's father, Chen Boyuan, who is currently the prefect of Ninghai Prefecture."
Upon hearing this, Lin Chang'er couldn't help but say, "Indeed, that's how it is." However, she still felt rather awkward being addressed as "elder brother."
While they hesitated, Prefect Chen spoke first, "I've heard Ming'er mention you before. I know what you've been doing. You're a thoughtful person. With your family backing you up, you can go ahead and do whatever you want."
Lin Chang'er: "..." Does this mean he acknowledges her?
Wu Qingfeng said that Prefect Chen was rather unassuming and not a treacherous official, but he was not a good official either.
But what he just said sounded like he was quite supportive of her continuing to cause trouble.
However, whether it's just polite talk on the surface remains to be seen.
But since they've given her that courtesy, there's no reason for her to be cold to them.
He smiled and replied, "Thank you, elder cousin. With your support, the lives of the coastal people will surely improve."
Headmaster Chen chuckled, "In the end, isn't all of this his political achievement? Only a fool wouldn't support it."
Now that we're related by marriage, there's even less reason not to support it.
Prefect Chen was not angry. His parents had died early, and it was this uncle who raised him, introduced him to officialdom, and paved the way for him.
Now that he's old, it's his duty to take care of him in his old age and see him off in his final days.
Now that there are several people helping him take care of the old man and making him happy, he is overjoyed.
In addition to his younger sister, although she couldn't directly help him in his career.
But this girl is incredibly bold.
Linshui Village was the first to dare lead the men of the village to fight against the pirates, and she was the first.
The tragedy in Xiaonan Village had previously caused a minor upheaval in the central government.
But what can be done when the southern provinces are sparsely populated with troops?
He did consider fighting back, but how could he fight without soldiers or supplies?
Without the imperial court's approval, even as the prefect, he dared not act rashly.
Unexpectedly, this inconspicuous little village took the lead in the battle, and not only that, they fought it out brilliantly.
In recent times, incidents of pirates harassing the people have become rare in Ninghai Prefecture.
While there's a possibility of recuperation and rebuilding, at least those bastards should know that the people of Tianqi also have backbone.
He'd be a fool not to acknowledge his sister.
Therefore, Prefect Chen was not unhappy at all. Instead, he replied, "Uncle is right. But since we are family from now on, we will no longer distinguish between you, me, and him, right?"
After saying that, he laughed. Seeing that he was so understanding, Headmaster Chen didn't bother him anymore.
He gave a forced smile, looked around, and said, "Why are there so many people today?"
Although there are usually many people, there are especially many today.
Lin Chang'er smiled and told him about Wu Qingfeng leading his men to suppress the bandits.
Headmaster Chen immediately clapped his hands and exclaimed, "This kid has courage and determination; he's bound to achieve great things in the future!"
Prefect Chen was also very pleased. He looked around in the crowd and asked, "Where is Magistrate Wu right now?" As his superior, he felt it was his duty to offer his condolences.
Lin Chang'er smiled and was about to say that he would go back to take care of some personal matters when she saw the little goldfish running in, followed by Gu Xiaoman. They were running so fast that the little dumpling's clothes were lifted up, revealing its little belly.
Lin Chang'er quickly reminded, "Slow down!"
The little goldfish had already arrived. "Mommy, Uncle Wu is back..."
