Rebirth of the pastoral landlady

Chapter 287 Just wait and see (second update)

But later, not only did he miss the crutch she threw to Cang Yun, but he also swung it out, hitting the eyebrow that was about to attack the pony without any deviation.

A blind man, with such a blow, he beat the ferocious and capable pony to death on the spot. Even after Jin Xi cut the pony's face and mouth, the pony couldn't wake up from the pain. It's not something ordinary blind people can do!
Suspicious again, Jin Xi feels that the appearance of Cang Yun is not just a coincidence, and it is even more impossible for him to say "passing by". '

So, just like that, Cangyun's master and servant were brought back to Qianlixiang, and they were temporarily placed in the backyard, between Jinxi's room and Sun Yubao's and A Cai's rooms.

Because the old doctor who set the bones had warned that Jinxi's ankle would not be suitable for long-distance driving within five days, so Jinxi couldn't go anywhere in the past few days, and lay on Sun Yuxia's bed every day to raise her. Sun Yuxia even held food and water in her hands.Jin Xi really felt that the days when she was being waited on by others, she stretched out her hands for her clothes and opened her mouth for food, it's really not bad!

There was an interrogation at the county government, and Sun Yubao, Awang, and Cang Yun's servant, Lingbao, were sent to interrogate him.After Mao Shiba and the Ma brothers were formally convicted and sentenced to prison, the turmoil finally calmed down.

When Sun Yubao came back, he also brought Jinxi back a reward of five taels of silver, which was written in black and white as the reward given by the Yamen Gate to the insider who provided clues about Mao Shiba.Jin Xi was very happy, the five taels of silver not only covered her and A Cai's medical bills, but also how many taels were left over!
On the second day after the county magistrate finished Mao Shiba's public trial, Qian Lixiang had a visitor, to be precise, a visiting visitor.When Sun Dahu hurriedly came in to spread the word, Jin Xi was sitting on the bed, and Sun Yuxia was feeding her bone soup with him, talking in a babbling manner.When she heard the name of the person reported by Sun Dahu, Jin Xi was surprised, and then smiled.

"I thought he was an irritable person, but he still understands human feelings better than those smiling tigers. Uncle, please invite him in!" Jin Xi said to Sun Dahu.

"Xi'er, is this convenient?" Sun Yuxi asked, after all, it was an unmarried woman's house, and Sun Yubao and Sun Dahu could come in and out because they were the closest people, but even so, they still had to be a little scrupulous.

Jin Xi smiled and said: "Master Hong is the chef of Mingshan Pavilion, it is not easy for him to come and see me in his busy schedule! Is it not convenient for me to go to the field? I have to invite someone in, auntie Aren't you and uncle here, don't be too rigid about those."

That being the case, Sun Dahu went out to invite Cook Hong, but when Sun Dahu returned, he did not follow Cook Hong behind him.

"Xi'er, Master Hong said, let you have a good life, and he won't come in if he has something to do in the restaurant. He will come to visit another day! He also said that in the past few days, he has steamed carp according to the method you taught, more than It can drive away [-]% of the hair, and the fishy smell has also been removed!"

"Did you say anything else?" Sun Yuxia asked.

"Oh, I also sent a bubbling purple casserole, which is said to be stewed with a silky chicken, for your nourishment! I asked Ah Fu to bring it to the stove to keep warm."

Jin Xi nodded slightly, this cook Hong looks like a rough man, but he is actually a delicate person.I still remember the matter of the golden carp last time.

"Ah? That man really can't see it, he really put his heart into it! Stewed silky chicken is a good thing. Dahu, where is the chicken? Show me!" Sun Yuxia urged Sun Dahu out of the house, Here, Jin Xi's mouth showed a hint of warmth, but Chef Hong put his heart into it.

After a while, Sun Yuxia came back excitedly, and said to Jinxi: "As expected of the top chef of the restaurant, the black-bone chicken stew is delicious! I stirred it with a spoon, and my My dear, there are quite a few aniseed ingredients in it, which nourish the bones and vital energy, so I'm really willing to..."

"Xi'er, how about I scoop up a bowl for you to taste?" Sun Yuxia asked.

Jin Xi waved her hand, she had just drank the bone soup, it was too nourishing to absorb.

"Auntie, take a bowl to Ah Cai, and Cang Yun, give him a bowl too." Jin Xi said, although Cang Yun aroused Jin Xi's suspicion, but if it wasn't for the part where he made jokes, there would be no With his crutch, Jin Xi can't threaten him with a pony.Aside from the fact that he was suspicious, it was also because of his sudden appearance and jokes that he delayed the time for reinforcements to arrive.

Jin Xi stayed in bed for more than ten days before Sun Yuxia let her get out of bed.Even though, on the sixth day, she was already able to slowly move away while supporting the wall.

During these six days, people came to visit her one after another.Liang Lihui and his daughter-in-law, Mrs. Zhou, even gave Jinxi two pieces of light summer clothing.Manager Hu of Mingshan Pavilion also represented Shopkeeper Xie and the others, and came to visit with gifts.In addition, Guo Hai came here and gave Jinxi two scripts to pass the time while she was convalescing.

Cang Yun's master and servant went to the county government office to answer questions when Qian Lixiang was recuperating on the fifth day.Just when Jin Xi had doubts about him and was about to test him after a few days before he could walk on the ground alone, Cang Yun's master and servant took the initiative to bid farewell to everyone.He said he planned to go back to the capital, so he went to Hu Village to explain to the wet nurse before returning to Beijing.

Jin Xi asked Ah Fu and Agui to drive the carriage, and personally escort Master Cang Yun and his servant to Hu Village.Escort is second, Jin Xi and Ah Fu Aguina have given some instructions in advance.

On the ninth day, Ah Fu and Ah Gui came back, and Jin Xi brought them to him for questioning.

"Miss, under your instructions, we personally escorted their master and servant to Hu Village, and stayed to take care of them for two days because we were worried. We didn't find any clues." Agui said.

"Hu Village is not big, with only a dozen families. Master Cang's wet nurse, Hu Wang's family, lives under the big banyan tree at the east end of the village. Hu Wang's two sons have no daughters, and the family has land and land. They are very common households. People." A Fu said.

"We were worried, and we asked other villagers in Hu Village in private. Everyone said that the Hu family did go to the capital to work as a nurse for others more than ten years ago..." Agui continued to report.

"The two of us paid close attention to that young master Cang, and found that all his food, daily life and other things are far inferior to normal people. He should be a real blind man!" Ah Fu thought for a while, and added: "They and the Hu family The family bid farewell, and if the sun shines tomorrow, we will leave, and Hu Shi even asked her two sons to drive a car to see them off!"

After dismissing the two of them, Jin Xi leaned back and frowned slightly. So, Cang Yun's trip to Wanghai and Changqiao Town is really for medical treatment and visiting relatives?Are you suspicious?
That night, lightning and thunder began, and the strong wind and heavy rain fell all night.After all, it is a tile-roofed house, and the fish began to leak rain in the house when the fish was too strong. Sun Yuxia and Jinxi found a few pots and put them on the foot of the bed and the clothes cabinet.

Other people's houses were not much better, using basins and buckets, and even the open deep earthen pots for soup in the front shop were brought over to catch the leaks.

When the next day dawned, the rain finally stopped. The streets and alleys of the county town, the pavement paved with stone slabs, were washed clean by the rain.But the trees in many people's yards were blown crooked.

Sun Dahu and Agui borrowed a wooden ladder from the neighbor next door, climbed up to the roof, put brand new felt under the tiles, and then rebuilt the tiles that had been moved by the wind and rain one by one. good.

Here the roof has just been repaired, and over there, the sky is beginning to pile up with black clouds, the wind is picking up again, and a new storm is imminent.Sure enough, when we were eating lunch, the rain began to splash from the sky again.

The rainy season in the south has officially arrived. Not surprisingly, the weather will last for nearly a month.Jin Xi sits behind the half-open door, looking at the rain outside and meditating.

Because of Sun Yuxia's careful care, after half a month, Jin Xi could walk on the ground without holding on to the wall.Although it is still not possible to go too fast, Jin Xi and Sun Yuxia are very satisfied with the degree of recovery.

The old doctor invited by Liang Lihui came to Jinxi for a follow-up visit, and the old doctor also said that Jinxi's bones had recovered quite well.He told Jinxi not to run and jump violently within a hundred days, and prescribed two medicines to stabilize her condition.

That night, after the shop closed, Sun Yuxia finished packing and came to rest in the backyard room.Under the lamp, Jin Xi didn't go to bed, she was sitting at the round table in front of the bed, holding a brush in her hand, writing something rustlingly.

On the table beside her was a thick stack of account books. Although Sun Yuxia could not read, she recognized that stack of account books was brought back by Jin Xi from Mingshan Pavilion.

Moreover, in the past half a month, when Jin Xi is recuperating from her injuries, she has to spare an hour or two to look through those account books.

"Xi'er, it's getting late, why don't you go to bed and rest? Write and draw during the day, and you'll hurt your eyes carefully!" Sun Yuxia took off her shoes, changed into a clean pair, and patted Wiping the dust on her body, she urged Jin Xi to say.

Jin Xi finished the last accounting entry, and in the corresponding account, checked that note to make sure it was correct, then closed the account book, got up and walked towards this side.

Sun Yuxia was already sitting cross-legged in the middle of the bed, with a big cattail fan in her hand, and was chasing mosquitoes away from the tent.Jin Xi was on the washstand at one side, using the lily-scented soap brought by Sun Ji, to wash her face and hands carefully.Pick up the small bamboo tube with chopsticks on the side, pour some liquid from it into the palm of your hand, and then gently and evenly pat it on your face, the faint fragrance of aloe immediately permeated the small room.

"Hey, girl Xi, you wake up early and go to bed late every day. You are really good at washing your face and wiping your hands. Is the aloe vera water really effective? It smells strange." Sun Yuxia joked about Jin Jin while driving away mosquitoes. Xi.
