First Wife of Zhu Family

Chapter 306
Although the first lunar month is out, the town is still full of joyful and lively scenes.

The two wandered along the pier.

The streets were full of stalls selling local specialties and exquisite gadgets. Du Rongzhi rarely went out, and felt rare when he saw everything. Song Zixun was also willing to indulge her, but he never let go of her hand.

The boss at the booth saw that the two were handsome and dressed very gorgeously. He could see that they were young couples from a wealthy family who came out to play. Naturally, they worked very hard to sell things. But in less than half an hour, Du Rongzhi picked out a tumbler, two Ring gourd and some snacks that locals love to eat... I bought a bunch of miscellaneous things.There is also a small fruit that is said to be unique to the local area, but it cannot be seen in the market because it is not easy to store.The fruit seller was an elderly woman, and there was a skinny boy of seven or eight years old squatting beside her. Seeing that Du Rongzhi was interested, the woman hurriedly grabbed a handful of fruit and asked her and Song Zixun to taste it.

Song Zixun only glanced at the dirt under the woman's nails, then shook his head displeasedly with a frown.

"Taste it, it's delicious...it doesn't taste good and you don't need money..." The woman just thought that they didn't like the fruit, and she showed her hospitality with a smile on her face, her weather-beaten old face became more and more like a dried orange Average skin.

Du Rongzhi looked at him and picked one from the old woman's hand.

"Rong Zhi..." Song Zixun disagreed, "Be careful, your stomach hurts."

Du Rongzhi bent her lips and smiled, lowered her eyes and carefully peeled off the thin skin of the fruit, and brought it to his mouth, "You really don't want it?"

The plump fruit was shining with crystal luster, coupled with the woman's slender fingers... Song Zixun frowned with disgust, and finally lowered his head and ate her hand into his mouth.

Du Rongzhi smiled, twisted one and ate it herself.

The fruit was a bit sour at the first bite, but after chewing, the aftertaste was extremely sweet, fresh and cool, very refreshing.

She looked at Song Zixun, "Is it delicious?"

Song Zixun nodded reluctantly, "It's okay."

Du Rongzhi knew that this person was awkward, so she didn't bother with him, took out the handkerchief and wiped her hands, then turned her head and said to the woman, "I want this basket of fruit, but I have to trouble you to run around... ..." So he bought all the remaining fruits in the basket, and promised the woman some money, asking them to help send the things they bought back to the boat.

It was rare for the woman to meet such a generous customer, and she was overjoyed, she thanked her a thousand times, and then led the boy to carry the basket to the pier to deliver the goods.

Song Zixun looked at the backs of the one big and one small going further and further away, and couldn't help laughing, "Since you intend to do good deeds, just give her some money, why bother asking her to deliver it to the pier? That basket of fruit is not light. , so hard to carry it, and it will be broken after eating too much, so why bother?"

Du Rongzhi cast a sideways glance at him, and said calmly, "You know I'm doing good deeds?"

Song Zixun said with a smile, "Otherwise there are so many stalls selling fruit here, and this person sells neither the biggest nor the freshest. Why did you pick them alone?"

Du Rongzhi pursed her lips and remained silent for a moment, "What you said is right or wrong."

Song Zixun raised his eyebrows.

"It's not so much that I sympathize with her for making a living by setting up a stall on the street at her age, it's better to say that I respect her for earning a living through her own labor." Du Rongzhi smiled at him, "As long as you make money with your own efforts, you should be punished." Respect, no?"

Song Zixun was startled, nodded and said, "Yes."

Du Rongzhi smiled, "Besides, I think the taste of the fruit is really good, refreshing and refreshing... When I go back and give them a share, maybe Linxi and Si Yao's seasickness symptoms can be relieved..." She recalled , suggested, "Why don't we go to the nearby pharmacy later and get some medicine for them—"

"No need." Before Du Rongzhi finished speaking, Song Zixun suddenly interrupted.

Du Rongzhi looked at him puzzled.

"I've ordered Changwang to take them off the boat." Under Du Rongzhi's surprised gaze, Song Zixun said lightly, "The two of them are in poor health, and they won't be able to bear it if this continues... Changwang will send them to Rest in a nearby inn for a few days, and escort them back to Beijing when they recover."

Du Rongzhi thought for a while, and said, "It's a good idea, but the elders..."

"Everything is up to me." He smiled warmly.

Xu Shi's dialogue was too familiar. At that moment, Du Rongzhi suddenly felt blessed. She raised her head in astonishment, with an expression of disbelief, "You, could it be you..."

Song Zixun smiled lightly, without any intention of hiding it, "That day when you went to buy medicine from your cousin's shop, I also asked him for some medicine for 'to seasickness'." He also deliberately emphasized on "to" tone.

Du Rongzhi was dumbfounded when he heard this.

It turned out to be the case.

It is so!
"Treating seasickness" has become "extreme seasickness", wouldn't it just make those two girls vomit and die? !
Thank goodness he figured it out!
"I didn't tell you before, because I thought they were just insignificant people, not worth your trouble..." Song Zixun couldn't help explaining with a smile when he saw her silly face.

"What about last night?" Du Rongzhi gritted his teeth and asked, "Why didn't you tell me last night? Seeing that I'm worried about this, aren't you very proud? Think I'm very stupid?"

"Why?" Song Zixun said with an innocent face, "I was just a little surprised...you care so much about them."

He sometimes felt that this person was really contradictory - he was as hard-hearted as a rock when facing him, but he would worry so much about people who had nothing to do with him... It was very annoying - so angry that he didn't want to tell her the truth, I don't even want to be disrupted by her momentary soft-heartedness.

Du Rongzhi was silent for a while, then whispered, "Actually, they didn't do anything wrong..."

She sighed softly, "Since you've made your plans, then follow your plan." She smiled relieved, "Anyway, I don't really want to see them every day in the future."

………………

In Jinghui Garden, Mrs. Song glanced at the two timid girls kneeling on the ground, and asked lightly, "What else did the young master say?"

Changwang bowed his head and said, "The eldest young master feels that he has betrayed the old lady's kindness. It's just that it's really inconvenient to take them along this journey..."

Behind Linxi and Siyao, weeping and raining, they fell on the ground and choked up, "It's all slaves who don't live up to their expectations... I beg the old lady to punish me."

Mrs. Song waved her hand, "I can't blame you for this..."

Then they asked people to send them back to their original residence to rest, and left Changwang to ask Song Zixun and others how they were doing with food, clothing, housing and transportation on the way, before sending him off.

After everyone walked away, Mrs. Song sighed quietly, "I'll tell you why the child is so quiet this time." She sneered, "You see...he was waiting for me here!"
