A poor family counterattacks, she is beautiful and sassy on the way to the imperial examination

Chapter 318 Chapter 316 The thick-skinned Jiang Zhirou

Xi Wen didn't answer his younger brother's words, but stared at the red bumps on his face, and then walked quickly to the bed. As expected, his wife also had red and swollen pustules on her neck.

"You and Rou'er were also bitten by flying insects?!"

"Yes! The day after you left, brother, many white moths flew from outside the city, and the guards on the city wall were the first to be bitten.

Then it flew into the city. At first, everyone didn't pay much attention to it, thinking it was just an ordinary bug.

It's just that the place where everyone was bitten was itchy abnormally, and red and swollen bumps formed when they scratched, and thick bumps gradually formed.

At this time, someone went to the medical center to seek medical treatment from a doctor. The doctor gave the treatment according to the usual prescriptions for mosquito bites, and finally found that the bitten area was not cured, and slowly began to fester from the pustules. "

Seeing that his brother was not bitten by insects, Xi Wu asked curiously, "Brother, how do you know we were bitten by flying insects?"

"Well, let's talk about it later, there are distinguished guests in the front hall."

Xi Wu saw that his brother wanted to wake up his wife, so he stretched out his hand to stop him: "But Rou'er, the place where the flying insects bit me is very itchy, and I just fell asleep not long ago~"

Xiwen couldn't bear to wake up his wife who had just fallen asleep, but thinking of the guests in the front hall and the current situation in Nanning City, they needed to discuss a solution as soon as possible.

He hardened his heart, but still gently pushed his wife, "Zhirou, Mrs. An is here."

Jiang Zhirou, who had a big pustule on her forehead, heard someone calling her. She just fell asleep, and it would be a little unpleasant to be woken up by someone.

But the upbringing engraved in her bones, even if she was angry at the moment, she just frowned and opened her eyes.

"Rou'er, Mrs. An from Zhushan County is waiting for you in the living room now!"

Jiang Zhirou, who was a little dazed and impatient at first, opened her eyes wide and saw clearly that the person in front of her was her Erlang Jun Xiwen.

"...how did you come back?
Who did you say was waiting for me in the front hall? ! "

"... Mrs. Ann is here." Xi Wen said.

"Xiao Xiaxia is here!" Jiang Zhirou hurriedly got up and got out of bed.

An Chuxia drank the servant Xi Wen called out, and waited for Jiang Zhirou to bring the tea.

Mu Tan looked at the red pimple on the neck of the servant who brought the tea just now, and knew that Xia Xia had guessed correctly, the Gu masters in the Lingnan Army released these Gu insects mainly to make people in Nanning city.

Under the condition of unbearable hunger and festering all over the body, they opened the city gate by themselves, and they managed the city without a single soldier.

Hearing the sound, An Chuxia looked towards the door, and saw Jiang Zhirou hurried in with her two husbands.

"Xiao Xiaxia, you are finally here. If you don't come again, I am afraid that you will never see me again in this life."

What Jiang Zhirou said was a bit mean, but she was really scared this time.

As the chief official of this city, she can't abandon the people of this city without conscience and escape early by herself.

But in the city, Zhao Jingan, father and son, relied on their military power to act recklessly, and the enemy army blocked the city gate outside the city, trying to trap them here to death.

Jiang Zhirou knew that if there were no miracles, Nanning City would not last long.

Either the city gate was opened by the enemy, or the people were starved, oppressed, and unbearable. In the end, the soldiers sent by Zhao Jing'an will fight to the death.

No matter what the ending is, it is not the people of Nanning City who are able to do it, but the Lingnan army outside the city.

As long as there is a commotion in Nanning City, she, the magistrate, will be the first to bear the brunt, and she can't stay out of it no matter what, can she not be afraid? !
Jiang Zhirou touched her deflated belly.

To use Uncle Ge's classic line, "The landlord's family has no food left."

The soldiers under Zhao Jing'an had already started to rob the people of food, how much food did Jiang Zhirou, the magistrate, have left.

It's just that when he learned that the food reserves in the city were getting less and less, Shen Mingxuan, who was in charge of the inner house, told the family members to save as much as possible, and everyone could eat thin food, and try not to eat thick food.

But even if you save more, you won't be able to drink even dilute ones these days.

"Promise!" An Chuxia took a sip of the tea in her hand, glanced at it, and scoffed.

When Jiang Zhirou faced An Chuxia, she had an unusually thick skin, so she didn't know what shame was.

"Xia Xia, people in Nanning City are starving to death now, I have no one in my hands, no food, and I am still restrained by Zhao Jing'an.

If I hadn't waited to see you for the last time, I would even have died. "

Seeing that there were several pustules on the back of the hand holding her sleeve, An Chuxia didn't make a move, and slapped Jiang Zhirou's restless paw away.

"Cuckoo!"

This time, no matter how thick-skinned a certain person was, he blushed a lot, covered his belly, silently walked to a chair beside him and sat down, lowered his head, not daring to look at other people in the living room.

Xi Wen walked up to Jiang Zhirou's heartbroken, and turned to stare at his younger brother. He had only been away for a few days, and his wife went to bed hungry at night.

"Brother, it's not like you don't know that the whole city is obviously out of food right now.

Even if there were still food in the households, they were all hidden tightly by each household, fearing that they would be robbed by Commander Zhao and his group.

Even if I want to buy it with money, no one is willing to sell it at this time. "Xi Wu said aggrievedly.

He didn't want his wife to go hungry, but he really couldn't buy food, so he pushed his half bowl of porridge to his wife during dinner.

But Jiang Zhirou only ate her own bowl of gruel, pushed Xi Wu's bowl back, and left to deal with matters in the study.

When An Chuxia saw Jiang Zhirou who had lost weight after not seeing her for a while, her cheekbones were exposed, and she couldn't help but sigh.

Turning his head to Ling Feng who was standing by the side, he said: "Go back and bring someone to bring a few bags of food, go and come back quickly, be careful, don't let people find out, it will save you the trouble of dealing with it when the time comes."

"Yes, my lord." Ling Feng took the order to leave, Xi Wen was afraid that he was not familiar with the road here, so he also followed.

After a while of shyness, Jiang Zhirou, who recovered, heard that there was food, looked at An Chuxia with bright eyes, and said flatteringly: "Xia Xia, I think you are not only the people's mouth, but also their blessed minister, you It is also my lucky star.

If it weren't for you and me, we wouldn't have been able to pass the Jinshi exam. Even if the Jiang family had some connections in the imperial court, it would be impossible for us to be the prefect of a city like we are now.

Now that I'm in a difficult situation, and you showed up in time to solve my problems, I don't even know how to repay you. "

Jiang Zhirou looked at her ambiguously with her already charming eyes.

An Chuxia shook the goosebumps on her body, and felt that her next words were going to shatter the three views of people, so she wanted to stop her, but it was still too late.

"Nanning City doesn't seem to be a place to stay for a long time, why don't you take me to the dog hole that I dug out of the city wall, and elope!

People say that you can't repay your life-saving grace, you can only promise it with your body. If I do this, I will repay your great kindness. "

"I don't think you're repaying a favor, you're taking revenge!"

"You and I are a scourge, what is the grudge, what is the enmity, you want to harm me so deliberately." An Chuxia raised her eyebrows, looked at her teasingly and said.
