The little girl of the landlord's house

Chapter 59

The stall owner took down the lantern, turned around and handed it to Kang Guangshou. After Kang Guangshou thanked him, seeing Xie Yujiao and Xu Huiru standing beside him, he said gently, "Stand owner, give this lantern to that girl."

Xu Huiru was so ashamed for a moment that she hid behind Xie Yujiao, Xie Yujiao took the lantern and said with a smile, "Thank you Mr. Kang for your generous help."

Kang Guangshou arched his hands towards Xie Yujiao, and said politely: "Miss Xie, you are too polite. Originally, during the New Year's day, Miss Xie sent housekeeper Liu to send such a gift. I should also come to thank you, because Zhuo Jing recently hugged her. Well, I can't leave for a while."

Not long ago, Xie Yujiao also heard the news that Mrs. Kang was ill. The second butler Liu said that it was because of the pain she suffered during childbirth and the sequelae left behind.Although there are quite a few famous doctors in Jinling City, they are from the capital, so they probably don't think highly of the doctors here. Know how it is now?
"Master Kang and his wife are deeply in love with each other, and the little girl is really moved. The little girl and her mother will also go to see Mrs. Kang someday." Xie Yujiao said, seeing Xu Huiru still hiding behind her, she stepped back a little and said : "This is the cousin of my uncle's family, Huiru, I have met Mrs. Kang."

Xu Huiru often heard Xie Yujiao mention the magistrate Mr. Kang. She came back late and had never seen the real person, so she always thought that the county magistrate was the same as the previous Mr. Ma, in his fifties, with a big belly and a round waist. .Unexpectedly, this Mr. Kang looked like he was only 25, and he looked dignified and young and promising.

Xu Huiru turned slightly to the side, and gave Kang Guangshou a Wan An salute. Fortunately, she was wearing a veil at this moment, otherwise, Xie Yujiao would have seen her flushed face and would have been laughed at again.

Kang Guangshou returned the half-respect, and was about to leave when suddenly, someone on the deck of the boat not far away was calling him. Seeing that Kang Guangshou was among the crowd, the man jumped onto the pier, walked to the shore, Panting and running over, he was out of breath and said, "Master... Your Excellency, I have received a letter from the master... Rui... Prince Rui..."

This person spoke half a sentence and panted three times. Kang Guangshou's heart jumped when he heard it, and he only asked loudly: "What's wrong with Prince Rui?" Kang Guangshou had received a letter from Prince Rui once before, saying that he had received a letter from him. In the past, Mian Yi also said that he planned to take advantage of the Chinese New Year to give Tartar a general attack and let him wait for his good news.At this moment, Kang Guangshou's heart went cold when he heard the young man's intermittent opening.

The young man bent over and supported his knees, took a deep breath, and then said: "Rui...Prince Rui was injured, and now he is recuperating in Beijing, but this time he made a great contribution and shot the Tartar to death. Barang, the great general on the left, drove the Tartars out of the Wild Wolf Valley."

Kang Guangshou's fist that had been clenched all the time suddenly let go, and he slapped the boy's shoulder with a palm. His eyes sparkled, and he said with a smile, "That's great! Balang is also a strong general. I'm waiting for the little prince to tell me Bragging!" After Kang Guangshou finished speaking, his face only changed again, and he asked, "You said that Prince Rui was injured, is it serious?"

"The master's letter said that it wasn't too serious. There were a few traumas. It seemed that he had been hit by an arrow in the back. It was relatively heavy, but it didn't hurt the vitals. But the emperor was frightened, so he was recalled to the capital."

Hearing the words, Kang Guangshou calmed down a little, and he recited a word of Amitabha silently in his heart, and his complexion improved a lot. He was about to send a few words to let the boy go back, but when he turned around, he saw Xie Yujiao and Xu Huiru still standing beside him. Most of the gaffes made them look at it.

Kang Guangshou was a little embarrassed, and just didn't know how to speak, but Xie Yujiao had already heard all about what happened just now, and said with a smile on his face: "It seems that there is a good news from Dayong Border Pass?"

Kang Guangshou smiled slightly, nodded and said: "Although His Royal Highness Prince Rui is young, after all, a newborn calf is not afraid of tigers. This Tartar left general, Barang, is vicious, vicious, old and cunning. Now that he is dead, it is considered that the Tartars have lost a strong general. .”

At this time, thousands of miles away, in Prince Rui's Mansion in the capital, Zhou Tianhao was reclining on the imperial concubine's soft couch, holding a diamond-shaped mirror in his hand, with a smile on his lips, his eyes were fixed on the mirror, about a cup of tea Time has not moved.

Yun Song, a servant serving Prince Rui, came in with Yao Wan. Seeing the scene, he said with a playful smile, "My lord, how many days have you been staring at this thing? As a slave, why don't I go to the Treasure Workshop to open it?" It’s better to set it up on a base than to hold it up with your hands, it’s so heavy!”

"It's just a broken mirror. What kind of confession is there? How stupid to be seen?" Zhou Tianhao weighed the mirror in his hand, and threw it in front of Yun Song with a flick of his hand. He was so scared that he quickly reached out to catch it.

"My lord, this is the mirror that saved your life. If it wasn't for this mirror, you would have gone to see the king of Hades right now! My lord, I saw you were shot by Balan's arrow, and when you fell off the horse, The slaves were so scared that they wet their pants."

Zhou Tianhao glanced at the giggling and unserious boy standing beside him, and said with disgust, "Are you a bit serious? I'm a man, and I pee my pants. Let me tell you, I am the God of War, and I have the protection of the heavens. If the Lord of the Underworld wants to see me It's not easy! Didn't you see that I shot that Baron through the chest in a blink of an eye? This is called strength!"

Yun Song looked at his smug master, knowing that he had won the battle, and it was time for him to be frivolous, so he put down the mirror with a smile, brought the medicine to him, and said, "My lord, the arrow behind your back, There is only one little finger left to go through the chest, so let's take the medicine obediently first."

Zhou Tianhao was so excited just now that he touched the wound on his body, and now it really hurts, so he frowned and picked up the medicine bowl and took a sip. Seeing that the mirror was casually placed on the coffee table, he just cleared his throat Said: "It's not necessary to make a box, you can find a better box, let's put it away."

Yun Song watched Zhou Tianhao drink a bowl of medicine obediently, and then said: "That's not true, this is a life-saving thing, we will meet Master Kang some day, let him find someone for this thing, take care Thank you guys! Why do you think she is so smart and knows how to use a mirror as a goggle?"

Zhou Tianhao gave Yun Song a sideways look, and at this glance, he is the one who has no brains. He didn't know if he lost a mirror in the cotton-padded coat, and he still protects his heart mirror!No wonder he felt that the padded coat was awkward to wear, because it turned out that there was such a big thing in it.But if it wasn't for this stuff, Zhou Tianhao's life would really be lost.

"Okay, okay, don't be so long-winded, what should you do!"

Seeing that Zhou Tianhao was in a good mood, Yun Song recalled that when he just returned to Beijing, he had been depressed all day long about going back to the front line, but now he didn’t bring it up again, so he asked cautiously, “Your Majesty, the Emperor won’t let you I went to the border, what are you going to do when you recover from your injuries?"

"I haven't thought about it yet! Let's talk about it later?"

Yun Song leaned forward with a smile, and said with a smile: "The empress said that she will find a concubine for you, so that you can settle down and stop thinking about going to the border."

"Sister-in-law Huang is addicted to being a matchmaker." Zhou Tianhao sighed silently. If this capital really can't stay any longer, he can still go to Jinling and find Kang Guangshou!
After the first month is over, the dragon rises on the second day of the second month. As a landlord who relies on the fields to eat the land, Xie Yujiao brought a group of village names to worship the sky and the gods, wishing the new year a good weather and a good harvest.

Liu Fugen is now used to sitting and answering questions, and he dared to drink the tea that Xie Yujiao offered. At the end of last year, Xie Yujiao asked his son Changshun to study business with Liu Fugen. Now the father and son can almost The chores outside have been taken care of.

Xie Yujiao stipulated that if they had nothing important to do, they would come to see her once every four days, and if they came back for something else, they could come anytime.Although today is not a day for serious appointments, but Liu Fugen has something to come back, so he came early.

"Miss, Mrs. Kang's illness is probably not very good. I heard from the servants in the county government that Mrs. Kang sent a letter to the capital. Do you want to find a doctor from there? From here to the capital, there will be a month on the light road, and I wonder if Mrs. Kang can make it through?"

Xie Yujiao felt a little uncomfortable when she heard this. She still remembered years ago when Mrs. Kang happily gave her son a full moon wine. At that time, how did she know that Mrs. Kang would become so ill? I really don't understand what the sequelae will be.

"Hey, when I met Mrs. Kang at the Lantern Festival last time, I said I was going to visit Mrs. Kang, but later I heard that she was getting more and more ill. I was afraid that when we went to see her at this time, she would be thinking wildly, so I just wanted to see Mrs. Kang." I'm too embarrassed to go, but now I can't help but look at it, if this thing is not good enough, it will be the last time."

Liu Fugen's face was also very heavy, and he only frowned and said: "I heard from the people in the county government office that it seems that it's really not good. Master Kang hasn't come to the county government office for the past few days, and has been staying with him at the mansion. There are many people in the county government office. A person who loves the people like a child, now neglecting government affairs like this, I'm afraid it's really bad."

The more Xie Yujiao listened, the more worried she became. She felt that this matter could not be delayed, so she decided to discuss it with Mrs. Xu later and find a day to visit the doctor.The two were chatting, Xu's side also sent a servant girl over, saying that Xie Yujiao was invited to come over. It turned out that some wives from nearby landlords and squires were discussing in Xu's room to see Mrs. Kang thing.

When Xie Yujiao heard this, she hurriedly got up, and told Liu Fugen to continue to observe the affairs of the county government, and to report any news in a hurry.

In Xu's room, several country gentry and landlord's wives who often walked around were there. When they saw Xie Yujiao coming, they only praised Xie Yujiao for a while, and the more calm she became, Xu thanked her once, and everyone sat down. Come down and discuss business.
