The outer chamber is not what I want, the general will send you a sword!

Chapter 171 The fourth aunt is here
Lin Ziyi came back from buying snacks, looked at the back of the woman standing under the willow tree, walked over with a smile, and said:
"These snacks are the characteristics of Xiliang Lake. Although they are not as delicious as yours, they have local characteristics. It's okay to try them once in a while!"

The woman turned around and looked at him suspiciously. When she saw that it wasn't Xia Jin, the smile on his face froze.

"I got the wrong person!"

Lin Ziyi looked away and frowned.

"Where did she go?"

Turning to look around, the streets are bustling.He just turned around and went to buy a snack, and the man disappeared. Could it be that he was in danger?

His heart tightened, and he hurried to find it.

Just as he was passing by an alley, someone tapped him on the shoulder.

Lin Ziyi turned around and saw Xia Jin holding candied haws and a beautiful rabbit lantern in his hand.

"I've been waiting for you for too long, so I went to the streets by myself!" Xia Jin said.

Lin Ziyi breathed a sigh of relief, and saw that his hands were empty, and then remembered that he left the snacks he bought just because he was in a hurry.

Xia Jin giggled, took out the bunch of snacks from behind her, blinked her eyes, and said, "I've tried it just now, it's delicious!"

Lin Ziyi's expression softened slightly, "I can't run around like this in the future!"

"good to eat!"

He turned his eyes and saw that Xia Jin's cheeks were bulging from eating, and a doting smile unconsciously appeared on the corner of his mouth. The anger that was still full of anger disappeared in an instant because of this satisfied smile.

The sky is gradually darkening, and it is gradually slanting to the west unconsciously.

When they returned to the general's mansion, it was already evening. As soon as they arrived at the mansion, the housekeeper waited outside and welcomed them in.

"Today, the old lady has prepared a table of delicious dishes, and a guest is coming!"

"The fourth aunt?" Lin Ziyi asked.

The butler nodded, and Lin Ziyi turned his eyes to Xia Jin.

"Si Gu came here, I guess I have something to ask you to help, if you don't want to go, you can refuse."

Seeing that he spoke so firmly, Xia Jin asked, "How do you know that Fourth Aunt is looking for me?"

"She won't come here for no reason, and the reason why she can come here must be because there are some problems in the mine, or she needs to ask for advice on forging." Lin Ziyi said.

Xia Jin raised her eyebrows, it seemed that Lin Ziyi knew his fourth aunt quite well.

Not long after, the two entered the hall, and there was a table of good dishes on the round table in the hall. Looking at the dishes, Xia Jin recognized that they were custom-made in the God of Food Hall, because the rare fish on the table was from Li Qiang. hand.

The ice cubes and fish slices as thin as a cicada's wings are placed on the bottom, which can only be made by Li Gan in the whole capital.

"Ziyi, Jin'er, you are back! Sit down!"

The old lady sat on the throne, and beside her sat a woman in black, who was Lin Ziyi's fourth daughter, Lin Niang.

The two sat down one after another. At the dinner table, the old matriarch brought food for Xia Jin from time to time, and talked with Lin Niang about commonplace things, but nothing was said at the dinner table.

After the meal was full, Linniang was about to leave, the old lady asked Xia Jin to see her off, and Xia Jin brought Linniang to the door.

Linniang stopped suddenly, looked at Xia Jin, and said:

"Actually, I'm here today because I want to talk to you about something!"

Xia Jin has always wanted to know something, so she said: "I heard that there is a good tavern, go and have a drink!"

Lin Niang smiled, "That's exactly what I mean!"

……

The second floor of the tavern.

Lin Niang took a sip from her wine glass and said, "Jin'er should know that I am in the ore business, but the mine village is far away from the capital, and there are many thieves along the way, even robbers and bandits. However, every year we need to spend a lot of money to hire bodyguards to escort the ore, and the annual income is only enough to maintain the mine, so we have to rely on the power of Xuerong City."

"But this means that the mining village needs to spend more expenses. To some extent, it is also limited by leaving home."

"My miners have lived in mines for most of their lives, just wanting to earn some silver, but after working so hard, they can't earn much silver!"

Linniang propped her forehead and expressed her bitterness.

"Is Linniang looking for me to transport ore?" Xia Jin asked.

Lin Niang nodded and praised: "You are very smart, I like dealing with people like you. If you don't like Ziyi in the future, you can dump him. Let's go to the mining village to develop together!"

Xia Jin has black lines all over her head!
One said, let her refuse Fourth Aunt and don't help.

One said, tell her to stop living with Lin Ziyi and go develop the mining village together?

Is this my fourth aunt?

"Didn't Jin'er open an escort company, what is it called... Chasing Feng Express, the last time I delivered the ore and came back smoothly, thanks to that escort master, so I would like to ask you to deposit the dart for me again, if possible, I hope to cooperate with Zhuifeng Express for a long time!"

After finishing speaking, she put a ticket of 1 taels on the table.

"This is a deposit, the price is not an issue!"

Xia Jin raised her eyebrows, it turned out that it was to bet on the darts, and Xia Jin was naturally happy when there was business coming.

"Of course!" Xia Jin picked up the banknote.

Seeing that Xia Jin agreed, Linniang frowned and said emphatically, "I want that bodyguard named Mo Tuo~"

At this moment, Mo Tuo, who was busy preparing for the official opening of Zhuifeng Express, suddenly shuddered.

"Boss, are you cold?" the subordinate asked.

Mo Tuo glanced at the moon above his head, "For some reason, I suddenly felt a chill, maybe I caught a cold?"

He shook his head, didn't think much, went back to sleep after finishing his work.

On the other side, on the second floor of the tavern, when Xia Jin and Lin Niang were drinking to their heart's content, Xia Jin took the opportunity to ask:
"Where did my grandmother get the spirit stone from the Sigu Mine some time ago? It looks strange!"

Lin Niang was lying on the table, her cheeks were flushed, she was obviously drunk, she stuck out her tongue and said, "You mean the original stone of Lingyu, right?"

Xia Jin nodded. Ordinary people can't perceive the aura of the Lingshi, let alone recognize it, so Linniang mistook it for the original Lingshi.

"It's strange to say!"

Linniang picked up the wine glass, looked at the moon outside the window, fell into memories, and said slowly:
"It was also the same night that day. When we were about to finish work and go home, suddenly the night sky brightened, and then there was a loud noise, and a meteorite fell from the sky, smashing a big hole in the mine. I took the miners down and found those Strange stones. You can't break them with a knife or an axe!"

"Later, I gave away a piece of Lingyu raw stone, which fell into Ziyi's hands. If the old lady hadn't asked me, I would have almost forgotten about these strange stones!"

"So, those spirit stones didn't come out of the mine, but fell from the sky?" Xia Jin asked.

"That's right!" Lin Niang said with certainty.

"Okay, it's getting late, Jin'er go back quickly, lest Ziyi say that I have brought you down!"

She stood up, drunken, and the servant beside her helped her up.

Watching her go, Xia Jin turned and walked towards the General's Mansion, thinking about this all the way.

When they reached the door, they raised their eyes and saw Lin Ziyi standing at the door.

The silvery white moonlight shone on his side face, making his facial features deep and three-dimensional. He was dressed in a black robe, standing against the wall like this, giving people a mysterious and cold aesthetic feeling.

For a moment, Xia Jin was taken aback, as if in the moonlit night, he had sketched such a picture in his mind, that figure, that beauty, that coldness, that made people unable to take their eyes off...

"Have you been drinking?" he asked.

"A little bit." Xia Jin said.

Lin Ziyi walked over, took off his cloak, and put it on Xia Jin.

Xia Jin looked up and saw him looking at him tenderly.

"Go back to the house, it's cold at night."

Xia Jin stared at him blankly, shook her head, and leaned her head heavily on his shoulder.

"drunk?"

Lin Ziyi picked up Xia Jin, walked into the house, put her on the bed, and took out the hangover pill.

"Eat it, it will feel better!"

Xia Jin opened her mouth and took the pill, which was sweet and sour, a bit like sour plum cream.

Maybe it was because of drinking and taking sober medicine, or because of the exhaustion from the day's play, he was sleepy, and fell asleep without knowing it.
