Rebirth of the pastoral landlady

Chapter 345 The Whereabouts of Liang Yumei (Two in One)

Seeing Mrs. Sun, Jin Xi raised a finger to her mouth and made a silent gesture.

Mrs. Sun hurriedly took a light step, and followed Jin Xi out of the house.Taozhi was also standing by the stone table in the yard.The couple closed the door and walked all the way to the stone table in the yard. Mrs. Sun and Taozhi looked at the things in the wooden basin, and their faces turned a little pale.

"Your father, this is..." The wooden basin is full of medicinal soup that I had managed to drink before, and the stomach can't hold the medicinal soup, so how can the disease be cured?
"I'm afraid I have to find another doctor." Jin Xi let out a breath slowly, thinking.

Sun looked at Jinxi helplessly, and said, "Could it be that the medicine is too pungent and bitter?"

"If it tastes good, it's not called medicine. Good medicine tastes bad." Jin Xi said, the most likely thing is that the medicine is not right for the disease.

"Xi'er, then tell me, when will you change the doctor? Or, wait a minute, the millet porridge at the stove is about to be cooked, I'll scoop up some and feed your father a few mouthfuls of millet porridge, so you can rest your stomach." Sun discussed.

"Xi'er, don't worry, your mother told me about your father's situation earlier. This man has been making a fuss all night, and there is not even half a grain of rice dregs in his stomach. Even the best medicine can't cover it. Or Eat a few mouthfuls of millet porridge to moisten the stomach, and then drink some medicine to try?" Tao Zhi also comforted softly.

Jin Xi looked at the two people in front of her, turned her head to look in the direction of the East Wing, thought for a while, then nodded and said, "Sure, then wait another half a day, before the sun sets in the afternoon, if Dad can't take care of him If you don’t want the medicine, you have to get another doctor to look at it.”

"That's, that's, we can't delay." Tao Zhi said again and again, but Mrs. Sun didn't say a word, and stood there wiping away tears.

"Mother, sir..." Jin Xi handed the handkerchief to Sun and asked again.

"Your mother told the truth, and we were all around to persuade you. Your father just went back, saying that when your father wakes up, you must send someone to tell him so that he can come and see what's going on." Tao Zhi He answered instead of Mrs. Sun.

"Did my grandfather leave the chestnut powder?" Jin Xi asked.

Mrs. Sun immediately stopped crying, took out the box from her sleeve, and said, "Here it is! I almost forgot, otherwise, I'll grab a handful of chestnut powder and sprinkle it in the millet porridge."

Jin Xi nodded, chestnut powder can nourish the stomach, if mixed with millet porridge, even if it can't cure the disease, at least it won't cause further damage to the disease.

Sun hurriedly wiped away her tears, and walked to the kitchen, leaving Taozhi and Jinxi talking in a low voice.

"...Your father heard that your father had just laid down, but he still didn't want to leave, and said he would stay and wait. Later, Kid Qing came over to spread the word, saying that the elder brother's family came to give you a New Year's gift, so your father hurried back to the village ..."

Jin Xi lightly'hmm. ' He said, still thinking about Liang Yuzhong's condition...

In the middle of the day, Mrs. Sun came out of the East Wing. After half a day and a night, her face, which had been terrified all the time, finally showed a gleam of joy.

Jin Xi, Tao Zhi, Dong Ma who were waiting at the door, and Jin Rou and Wen Yun brought by Jian Shi all surrounded them.

"I ate it, intermittently. I ate half a bowl. I sat and waited in the room for a while, and then I came out when I saw him lying down and sleeping." Mrs. Sun said to everyone in a low excited voice.

When everyone heard the words, they all showed a slightly relieved look. In everyone's concept, no matter what kind of disease they are suffering from, as long as they can eat and drink, it is not a serious illness.

Before lunch, Liang Lihui came over to Jinxi's house, not empty-handed, carrying a few packets of snacks for the third and fourth, which looked like the packaging of the pastry shop in the county town.

He went to see Liang Yuzhong again in the East Wing. Liang Yuzhong just woke up for a while, and Sun and Jinxi supported him to drink half a bowl of medicine.After a couple of conversations with Liang Lihui, the effect of the medicine came on, and he fell asleep again in a daze.

Mrs. Sun stayed in the room to take care of Liang Yuzhong, while Jin Xi sent Liang Lihui to the front room to drink tea and talk.

"As far back as I can remember, the third uncle in my eyes has always been alive and well. It's the first time I've seen him look haggard and soft today. It's really disturbing!" Liang Lihui said slowly while sitting in the main room.

Jin Xi sat down on the stool beside her, sighed softly and nodded her head.

Then he asked again: "Brother is here to give the New Year's gift to Grandpa, how many days do you plan to stay?"

In the past two years, Liang Lihui would spend a day in the village when he came back to send New Year's gifts.

"Sit for a while, and I will leave for the county in the afternoon." Liang Lihui said.

"Why are you in such a hurry?" Jin Xi asked.

"This year, the county magistrate returned to his hometown in Lanping County with his wife and children to celebrate the New Year. My father-in-law is in charge of all the affairs in the county." Follow behind the old father-in-law and wait for orders at any time.

Jin Xi nodded her head in understanding, and stopped asking.

"This green tea is good, mellow, and authentic." Liang Lihui raised his cup and took a sip of tea. The tea in the cup was like emerald silver needles, suspended in the water. Keep teeth.

He couldn't help but give a compliment.

"It's the second batch of winter tea newly picked this year. The climate in the mountains is slightly different from the outside. The newly picked tea leaves are roasted with pine wood in the mountains. I still have six catties left, this is the first time I drink it." Jin Xi said.

"So that's how it is." Liang Lihui said with his forehead, "Has your family Yu Cha Xiang Xuan been renewing the contract to supply tea?"

Jin Xi nodded with a smile, Liang Lihui was quite puzzled, and said: "As far as I know, the green tea and yellow tea made by your family are now well known by the villagers in Changqiao Town and even the surrounding area, and they have gained a good reputation. 1"

Jin Xi lowered her head and smiled slightly. In the past two years, although their family has been constantly planning the development of the shop, they have also chosen a road of specialization and precision in making tea.From the variety of tea leaves in the past, only green tea and yellow tea are gradually concentrated, so the craftsmanship is getting better and better.

The target group for green tea is the medium to high consumer group, while the yellow tea is for the majority of villagers.

"I heard that there is also a tea shop of my mother's family in the county seat. I have approached you privately and want to sign an exclusive supply contract with your family?" Liang Lihui asked again.

Jin Xi pursed her lips into a smile, nodded generously, and said, "It's true, the price offered should be more generous, but I politely declined their offer."

"Excuse me for my offensive words, but don't all businessmen pursue profits? Good birds choose trees to live in, why do you refuse?" He asked puzzled.

"Business people, it is true that profit is the foundation, but this profit also has a foundation, that is the principle of doing things for people." Jin Xi said.

Jin Xi knew that Liang Lihui could not understand her gratitude to Chaxiangxuan. At the most difficult period of her entrepreneurial career, if there was no Chaxiangxuan recommended by Wending to lend a helping hand to her at the right time, I am afraid that today would be a different situation .

"One thing you give to someone is not exchanged for a thousand pieces of gold. The exclusive supply of tea from Chaxiangxuan and me is valid for ten years." Jin Xi said.

She never promises people or things easily because there are too many variables.But once the promise is made, it will not be exchanged for a thousand dollars.

"The icing on the cake is far less than giving charcoal in the snow. It's good to give someone a gift, and you can't exchange a thousand dollars. Sister Xi'er, brother, once thought that if you were a man, you must be the most outstanding member of our old Liang family!" Liang Lihui praised sincerely.

"Brother is very good, but in my opinion, even if Xi'ermei is not a man, she will not lose to any man." Liang Lisheng's voice suddenly came from the door of the main room.

Jin Xi was a little surprised at Liang Lisheng who had gone and returned, Liang Lihui smiled, and changed his words: "Brother, what you mean is that if Xi'er is a man, he will be the next pillar of our old Liang family, who can carry the burden." The kind that gets up, second child, don’t misinterpret what big brother means.”

Liang Lisheng grinned without retorting, and Jin Xi also smiled shyly.After all, even in the eyes of everyone, no matter how capable she is, she is still a woman.

If she is a woman, she will marry in the future and become a member of another family, and her husband's family name must be added in front of her name.This question is too far-reaching, and there is no way or need to discuss it in detail, so Jin Xi changed the subject and asked Liang Lisheng why he returned.

Liang Lisheng raised his hand, pointed to the backyard, and said, "Is Third Uncle still sleeping?"

Jin Xi nodded, probably still sleeping.

"Then I'll go find Taozhi and talk to her about something." He said, Liang Lihui nodded, and watched Liang Lisheng go to the backyard.

"There is a saying in the book, to get married and start a business, to settle down and live. Seeing the second younger brother now, he is no longer the childish boy of the past. Today, I see my mother and fourth younger brother, also dressed clean and tidy, and the things in the house are all elegant and clean. This Zheng family, it is true A man who manages the house properly, and manages everything in order." Liang Lihui sighed again, with a look of reassurance on his face.

Jin Xi laughed this time, Tao Zhi is of course a good woman, she can manage the house, and she doesn't care who is the matchmaker for her protection, could it be wrong?
"Life is lived, not seen. Lu Yao knows that horsepower has been popular for a long time, and the second brother and second sister-in-law will definitely get over it." Jin Xi echoed.

Liang Lihui nodded, took a sip of tea, complex and tangled expressions appeared on his handsome face, he hesitated to speak several times.

"Brother, if you have anything to say between you and me, just speak up! I can't stand people hesitating in front of me, and I panic when I see them!" Jin Xi said.

Liang Lihui stroked the slightly protruding blue and white vines around the edge of the open tea bowl, and asked Jin Xi: "The family is near, is there any news about Aunt Mei'er?"

Jin Xi froze for a moment, then realized that he was asking about Liang Yumei who had disappeared for a long time.

Jin Xi shook her head and said, "I haven't heard that, since the day the milking accident happened, my aunt ran away with the money and disappeared. No one in the family dared to mention my aunt's name before my father." Liang Yumei's name is now the old The taboo of Liangtou, whoever mentions it, is in a hurry!
Liang Lihui fell silent again, and sat there with thought flashing in his eyes.

"Brother, why are you asking this? Did you, did you find out about Fengying?" Jin Xi leaned forward a little bit in front of the stool and asked.

"Well, maybe, but I'm not sure right now. Whether it is true or not is still to be found out." He considered it.

"What's the situation, you should tell me." She pressed.

Liang Yumei, who disappeared for more than half a year, finally found a trace, and this news immediately mobilized Jin Xi's blood to boil.

"Before and after the Laba Festival, your sister-in-law and a few close friends went to Huhai County to play together. Because I like drinking tea, your sister-in-law went to a tea house in Huhai County to buy tea. , bumped into a woman, and the two had a quarrel, but it was not a big deal, and they broke up after being persuaded by the people around them."

"Your sister-in-law was drinking tea in the inner hall. When she heard the movement, she came out to have a look. She only had a face-to-face meeting with the other party." Liang Lihui said.

"Because your sister-in-law has never met Aunt Mei'er in person before, she just glanced at my paintings, and felt that the description and figure of the other party in the quarrel seemed familiar."

"I also heard the maid who was arguing with him say that the accent of the other party is the same as that of my uncle, and it is me, which is similar to my accent. Your sister-in-law immediately chased out the door with the maid. It is approaching the end of the year, and there are so many people on the street. Where is that man?"

"Because your sister-in-law didn't find that woman and confronted her in person. She just saw the painting I made, and we couldn't be sure if it was Meier! I was also a little bit in trouble, and I don't know what to say." Liang Lihui finally spread his hands and said. .

When Tan passed away, he made a painting for Tan, which was taken by the old Liangtou as a memory.Liang Yumei disappeared. In order to facilitate the tracing, he also made a painting for the servants to see, so that he knew what he knew.

"Brother, it's really not sure if it's Aunt Meier or not, but we have a trace." Jin Xi thought about it.

"Then, should we tell the Lord and the others about this?" Liang Lihui inquired.

Jin Xi thought for a while, and said: "I just got a little bit of clues, I think it's better not to tell Master for now, or I'll make a mess of myself. I'd better go to the lake and sea to find out."

The second thing is that the old Liangtou himself fell on his back, and the others followed suit. Even the sick Liang Yuzhong, I am afraid that he will be affected and get up and contribute money and effort.

Jin Xi's selfish heart raised her head.

"I think so too. But I'm also worried about whether our carelessness and procrastination will bring irreversible consequences to Aunt Mei'er? If that's the case, how about our conscience?" Liang Lihui also said directly Speak your mind.

Jin Xi frowned slightly, then analyzed with Liang Lihui.

"Brother, what you analyzed is the worst kind of situation. I don't think so. My aunt ran away by herself at the beginning, but she was not trafficked by someone. She can also go to the streets to buy medicine in Huhai County, and even She even quarreled with others, which shows that her personal freedom is not restricted, and her behavior is more domineering than before."

"In other words, her situation may not be what we worry about. Maybe she is too happy to leave. It's not that she has a home that she can't go back to, but that she has a home that she doesn't want to go back to."

"When we got a little clue here, we mobilized the crowd. People rushed out to find her over there. If she wanted to go back, she would have gone back. If she didn't want to go back, she would only startle the snake by rushing out like this. I don't know how far I got the wind. No matter how far we hide, in the end we still have nothing to do with fetching water from the bamboo basket, and it’s a waste of time to run!”

Liang Lihui nodded and said, "Then according to what you say, what should we do now?"

"Master, keep it a secret. After the sixth day of the first lunar month, I will go to the lake and the sea with you to find out first. If it is really her, let's tie her up and come back!" Jin Xi said.

"I think this idea works, so it's settled!" Liang Lihui let out a sigh of relief when the stone fell to the ground.Looking at the sky outside, she got up to bid farewell to Jin Xi, Jin Xi didn't waste her time, and asked Cai Jinshan to pack a catty of the green tea from earlier, and gave it to Liang Lihui.

Because Liang Lihui came to the town by a carriage today, and then walked back to Jinjishan Village, so Jinxi made an appointment with him, looking back to estimate the time, once he had lunch at Jin's, let Ah Cai catch up The bullock cart took him to the town to rent a carriage.Liang Lihui accepted Jinxi's kindness.

After Liang Lihui and Liang Lisheng Taozhi left one after another, it was time for lunch.

Because Liang Yuzhong ate half a bowl of millet porridge and took a few sips of medicine, Sun, whose mood was all written on his face, breathed a sigh of relief, and came to the main room to greet Jinxi to eat in the backyard.

Before Jin Xi went to eat, she went to the East Wing, and saw Liang Yuzhong who was sleeping with his eyes closed on the bed, breathing steadily, and then went to the kitchen in peace.

At noon, the sound of teacups falling to the ground suddenly came from the East Wing, followed by the sound of Mrs. Sun's anxious cries coming from under the eaves.

"Hurry up, hurry up, Xi'er, Xi'er..."

When Jin Xi heard the sound of the teacup shattering, her heart skipped a beat, feeling bad.When Sun's cry came, she had already put down her bowl and chopsticks, got up and rushed out of the door of the dining hall.

"Mother, don't panic, don't panic, don't get in the way, don't get in the way!" She supported Mrs. Sun who was running towards this side, comforted her repeatedly, and walked towards the house.

Mrs. Sun followed behind with one foot deep and one foot shallow, and the other people in the dining hall came over, and they all gathered around Liang Yuzhong's bed.

Liang Yuzhong curled up from the inside to the outside into an arch, and the quilt was kicked into a crumpled pile at the foot of the bed.His eyes were closed tightly, but his facial features were all twisted together, and the veins on his forehead bulged and spread all the way to his neck.

His face was ashen, and the corners of his mouth were tinged with purple. From the side of the pillow, to the edge of the bed and the ground below the edge of the bed, it was all covered with filth.

"...didn't wake up, and said in a daze that I was thirsty... I poured the tea and didn't take a few sips, and it came out all at once... the medicine juice, the millet porridge, nothing was included... I took a picture of him back, his body was shaking non-stop, and as soon as his eyes rolled white, he fell on the bed and twitched..."

Madam Dong and Mrs. Jian supported Mrs. Sun on the left and Mrs. Sun, listening to Mrs. Sun slurring what happened there, Cai Jinshan and Cai Qingyang were stern.Jin Rou and Wen Yun were so frightened that they were already crying, Jin Xi gave Jian Shi a look, Jian Shi hurriedly coaxed and persuaded them to pull the two people to the door.

Everyone in the room was full of seriousness, especially Jin Xi.She bent down and pulled Liang Yuzhong's quilt up to cover his body, reached out and touched Liang Yuzhong's forehead, and then touched her own, his forehead was hot.

"Father's condition has worsened." She said in a deep voice.

Sun's voice stopped, and everyone's eyes fell on Jin Xi alone. Hearing what Jin Xi said, Sun staggered and almost went limp. Fortunately, Dong Ma supported her.

"Miss, I'd better take a car and go to the town to invite Old Doctor Wang!" Cai Jinshan asked Jinxi for instructions.

"It's too time-consuming to go back and forth. My father's situation needs to be monitored by a doctor all the time. Uncle Cai, please cover the carriage and spread thick mats and bedding inside, and we will send father to the town. Remember the medical office." After thinking quickly, Jin Xi decided decisively, in today's words, to stay in the hospital for observation.

"Okay, then I'm going to set up the car!" Cai Jinshan finished speaking, turned around and strode out of the room.

Panicked and at a loss, Sun could only vaguely hear Jinxi's words, 'the condition is getting worse', 'we can't delay...' tears welled up, and he staggered to the bedside, supporting Liang Yuzhong arms, weeping into tears.

Jin Xi looked at Sun, who was crying into tears. Obviously, she had no idea at all, and instead told Dong Ma: "Hurry up and find two sets of quilts, and my father's clothes, together with food, water and washing supplies. on the car."

"Hey." Mama Dong responded and left.

"Brother Qingyang, go and bring a basin of hot water and let my mother wipe my father's face briefly," Jin Xi said.

"Okay." Cai Qingyang strode out of the room.

"Mother, don't panic, you'll be fine when you get to the Wangji Medical Center in the town." Jin Xi didn't know how to comfort Sun, after all, Liang Yuzhong was lying here, unconscious, and he looked like, It is also extremely bad.

Sun was out of breath from crying, but still said: "I will take me with you later, I will follow you to take care of your father."

With a big stone in her heart, Jin Xi softly said 'OK. '

Cai Qingyang quickly brought hot water, and Jinxi moved away from the space in front of the bed, closed the door with Cai Qingyang and stood at the door, and Mrs. Sun wiped Liang Yuzhong's body.

Today, the sun came out for more than an hour after breakfast, followed by a cloudy day.At this afternoon, there was a strong wind outside, and the sky was gray, like a black cloud weighing on people's hearts.

Sun's suppressed crying came from the room behind him, and in the yard, Jin Rou stood beside Jin Xi with her eyes red from crying, raising her head and asking over and over again: "Sister, is dad okay?"

After getting rid of poverty, Jinrou has been living a carefree and cared-for happy time for the past two years.Suddenly, the father of the head of the family suddenly fell down.Jinrou's heart was also severely broken at once, the previous feeling of panic came back, and she was terrified.

Jin Xi raised her hand to caress Jin Rou's head, smiled at her, and said in a deep voice, "Your sister is here, don't be afraid!"

"Miss, the carriage is set up, and the bedding is all done." Soon, Cai Jinshan came to answer.

Jin Xi nodded and said, "Okay."

"Brother Ah Cai is going to give a gift to Young Master Hui. It is inconvenient for Ah Wang to have a broken arm. Why don't you go and call Ah Gui?" Mama Dong asked Jin Xi for instructions.

"Miss, take me with you, more people have more strength, and it's easy to carry on and off." Cai Jinshan said.

Jin Xi smiled moved, and said: "Uncle Cai, someone needs to be in charge of this house, you stay here, I'll bring brother Qingyang along."

"Ah Gui can't take him with him, and brother Wen can't be short of people." Jin Xi said.

"Sister, I can take care of Brother Wen, serve him food and drink, and accompany him to relieve boredom..." Jin Ju said.

Jin Xi looked at Jin Rou, and said: "You can't do it, some things are not as convenient as Agui and the others. Sister also reminds you, Brother Wen is sick now, you need to let him rest more, you have to go there often to chatter Him. Do you know?"
