Chapter 135
Qin Xiao grabbed her back as if he knew what was going on in her mind, and comforted her: "Don't worry, I will arrange someone to find Mr. Zhou! But it can only be done in private, and you have to pretend that Mr. Zhou is recuperating in the mansion !"

"He's going to die, I have to go back to the capital!" Unprepared for a moment, Jin Xi's thoughts wandered out.When she realized that these rebellious words were outrageous, Qin Xiao, who was beside her, almost burst from laughter, pointed at her forehead and scolded with a smile: "The most poisonous thing is a woman's heart! I have learned a lesson!"

Jin Xi rubbed his aching forehead, and gave him a hard look, "You're the Marquis now, put on airs, don't act like a rascal."

"Senior!" The smile on Qin Xiao's face disappeared, and he solemnly corrected her address.Seeing Jinxi looking at him puzzledly, it took a while before he said: "At first, the Holy Majesty asked me to be a noble, and after thinking about my father's achievements, he also made him a marquis. But Uncle Changyang wrote a letter saying that I have not made any achievements, and I am underage. Cheng Jue can't convince the public, so the Holy Majesty temporarily named me Qingyuan Hou Shizi, and I will take on the title after I have made great achievements and become an adult."

Anyone who gets a kick in the face when he is promoted to a noble will not feel good.What's more, the one who gets in the way is his nominal adoptive father.Jin Xi seemed to see the meaning of water in Qin Xiao's eyes, so he had no choice but to comfort him: "It's okay, it's a great achievement for you to keep Anyang's disaster relief food, and you can't escape the title."

Qin Xiao sucked his nose twice, showing infinite grievances, "I have to marry a wife! I don't know which girl is willing to marry me!"

Jin Xi couldn't help but give him a blank look, and wanted to scold him that you deserved it, who made you have a bad reputation in the past, you are well-matched, no girl from a good family would marry you.I also felt that it was too mean to say such words at this time, so I had to say against my will: "You are good-looking, and you are a marquis who wants to be a prince. There are no elders, no brothers, and no relatives who mess with each other. Such a quiet place Days, I don’t know how many girls line up to marry you, don’t worry!”

Qin Xiao looked suspicious, "Really?"

"Really!" Jin Xi nodded repeatedly, guilty of not daring to look at him.I secretly asked myself if this was speaking against my conscience?But then again, I have been with Qin Xiao a lot. Apart from being moody and arrogant, he seems to have no unacceptable bad habits, except of course that he likes to visit brothels!
But in this world, the landlord who collects three buckets of rice too much is still thinking about marrying a concubine.For a second-generation ancestor like Qin Xiao, three wives and four concubines should be considered normal, right?

"It's better to be cheaper than others!" Qin Xiao seemed to be in a good mood after being persuaded by Jinxi. He squinted at her, slapped his chest and said righteously: "For the sake of helping me, it doesn't matter if I suffer. Anyway, you Can't get married!"

You can't get married!Jin Xi looked at the sky speechlessly, why didn't lightning strike this bastard!

This is Chi Guoguo's teasing, there is no reason!

"Think about it, after passing this village, there will be no such shop!" Qin Xiao ignored Jin Xi's white eyes, with an expression of a good man who is determined to the end.

Jin Xi gritted her teeth bitterly, "I appreciate your kindness! You should focus on serious business first!"

When it came to serious matters, Qin Xiao's expression became serious.Although Anyanghou has been arrested, and his remaining sins have not been cleaned up, who knows if he will leave to take advantage of the chaos to make trouble?The most important thing right now is peace of mind!
I don't know if it's the scourge other than opening the eyes of the sky, or the solar terms have arrived.The water outside Anyang City began to recede inch by inch. It was not obvious at first, but on the third day, as if someone had conjured it, the water suddenly disappeared and exposed the ground.It's a pity that there are mud, collapsed houses, and washed-out roads everywhere.

The stench of soaked human and livestock corpses filled the city, making one sick from the smell.

Jin Xi covered her nose and mouth with a cloth towel, and carefully checked how the yamen servants had sprinkled lime for disinfection.According to the experience of previous lives, there must be a major epidemic after a flood. Sometimes after a major plague, hundreds of miles will become a ghost town. This situation is also recorded in the big history books.

Fortunately, Mr. Yun Zong had the foresight early on, and brought several boats of quicklime and countless medicinal materials while transporting food for disaster relief.Before leaving, he left the regulations for preventing the plague, but Zhou Bohai disappeared without a trace, as if he disappeared out of thin air.Qin Xiao led people to rush to repair the canal, and he had to leave the affairs of the city to Jin Xi.

He was not afraid of those officials in the prefect's yamen stealing credit, but he was worried about these people.These people are more or less involved with Anyang Hou, otherwise Anyang would not have fallen to this point.Although the water has receded, people's hearts are not stable. If these people take the opportunity to make trouble, it will be called the gutter capsized.

Qin Xiao's worries were exactly Jin Xi's worries. Mr. Yun Zong took Anyanghou with him overnight, but he caught Anyanghou by surprise, and he was not absolutely sure of knocking him down.If Anyang Hou didn't clarify the punishment and law, Anyang City would not stop for a day. Whenever there was a chance, those gangsters of Anyang Hou would fan the flames and take the opportunity to make trouble.At that time, it will not only be Mr. Yun Zong who will be passive, but also her scumbag father Zhou Bohai.

Although she doesn't care about Zhou Bohai's life and death, Jin Xi knows that the family is one in this era, and Zhou Bohai is accused, and she will definitely be implicated. As the storybook says, she is not enslaved, and she can't find a way to cry.

The silt in the city has been cleaned up, and every house has been sprinkled with lime.The corpses of people and livestock were gathered in one place and burned to ashes. Every five streets, a cauldron was built to boil herbal water and let nearby residents drink a bowl every day.Whoever has a patient with headache and brain fever should report it to the village chief immediately, and then move to the empty houses specially vacated in the city, so that the doctors can concentrate on treatment.

As for drinking water, it is strictly managed, and those wells polluted by the flood are buried and useless.The daily water supply of the whole city depends on fifteen unpolluted wells, and a notice is pasted next to each well, telling the people not to drink raw water, but to boil it before drinking.

They had just narrowly escaped death, and no one wanted to be infected with the plague again. As soon as the government's announcement came out, although the people in the city felt troublesome, no one shirked their laziness, and followed each item every day.Ordinary people have also developed the habit of drinking boiled water, and they don't realize that they are wasting firewood.

Jin Xi randomly inspected a few places, all of which were strictly followed the regulations written by Mr. Yun Zong, and some rules she made up, so he couldn't help but breathe a long sigh of relief.

He dragged his feet back to Hexiangwu, Qin Xiao just came back, and cursed as soon as he entered the room: "Whoever dares to let Xiaoye be a parent in the future, Xiaoye will tear him alive!"

"Take a break, and eat right away!" Jin Xi knew that he was exhausted, so he quickly poured a cup of hot tea and handed it to him, comforting him, but she slumped on the couch regardless of her appearance, and said with gritted teeth : "Baigan didn't pay money for his work, what crime did I do!"

The two let out a long hey at the same time, and felt it was funny after the hey, and laughed at the same time.Mama Ai was coming in with a meal, and saw the two of them lying on the couch and the other slumped in a chair, looking at each other and laughing, her face drooped immediately, "As usual, the imperial envoy should be received by the magistrate's yamen, but the master's whereabouts are unknown, The imperial envoy should go to Master Tongzhi. It’s never my turn to let our girl take care of your three meals a day.”

"Mom, you have surpassed!" Jinxi got up, and for the first time turned a cold face at Ai's mother.Of course she understands the rules that Mama Ai said, but it was she who asked Qin Xiao to come to Hexiangwu for dinner every day.One is to report to him every day what happens in the city, saving her an extra trip.Second, the posthouse has been in disrepair for a long time, and the city is in chaos. No one can take good care of Qin Xiao's food and drink.

Urging migrant workers to repair the embankment is hard work, and he is a picky eater, what should he do if he is exhausted?
Mama Ai went out with her mouth pouted, Jinxi helped Qin Xiao pour the face wash, and said, "Mama Ai is getting old, don't be as knowledgeable as her. After dinner, you go to the side room to sleep for a while before going out of the city. The house is tidied up..."

She was rambling on, completely unaware that Qin Xiao was looking at her more and more strangely.It's obviously the most common, everyday talk, if someone else was nagging like that, Qin Xiao would have already thrown his face and scolded others.However, Jin Xi was talking about it, his heart was beating violently, as if he had gotten a big deal, he just wanted to grin and giggle.Not only was he not annoyed, but the exhaustion of the morning seemed to be forgotten, and the whole person was lazy, as if lying on a pile of clouds, not wanting to move comfortably.

Jin Xi handed the twisted towel to Qin Xiao, only to find that he was only staring at her with a smirk, and couldn't help frowning, "I'm talking to you!"

Noticing that Qin Xiao's face turned red suddenly, Jin Xi was so frightened that he reached out to touch his forehead without thinking, "Are you sick?"

"Crow's Mouth!" Qin Xiao raised his hand and pulled her hand away, cursing viciously on purpose.But he felt very useful in his heart, his mind went blank, it was all about the moment when Jin Xi's soft hand touched his forehead.

"Why don't you eat vegetables? Don't you like your appetite?" Qin Xiao continued to pick up the rice with the rice bowl, turning a blind eye to the four plates of green vegetables in front of him, Jin Xi couldn't help but said: "You just eat, there are only these things at the moment. I will find a way tonight Get a fish and cook fish soup for you!"

Qin Xiao came back to his senses, and with a puff, he almost spit out all the food in his mouth.What is her tone?Why is it like a mother coaxing a disobedient and picky eater?Which eye of hers saw him picky?
He looked down and saw that he had indeed been eating rice all the time, and he didn't even eat a single chopstick.A plate of stir-fried green bamboo shoots with chili, a plate of tofu skin with sesame oil, a plate of hot and sour potato shreds, a plate of fried radish with diced pickled cucumbers, and feeding rabbit-like dishes, he really has no appetite.

But it would be nice to have food to eat right now!
As if in a fit of anger, he took the plate he picked up and put it directly into the bowl, and ate all four vegetarian dishes in one go, not even the soup left.As a result, the teeth were soured by pickled cucumbers, and every breath was filled with the smell of pickled cucumbers.

Seeing Qin Xiao go out with grinning teeth, Jin Xi looked at his back and then at the clean dishes that he had licked with the dog, he was speechless, even if he likes to eat, can you leave me a bite?I haven't even eaten a bite!

Jin Xi was extremely aggrieved and made half a bowl of rice with tea, and ate the meal without any salty taste.I made up my mind that next time I will never use my kindness to persuade this guy to eat more vegetables!Even if I persuade you, you have to ask the kitchen to save your share first!

Poor and generous really don't matter!
