Chapter 47
A sneeze!

An Xu, who was fishing for shrimp by the river, sneezed, and she gathered up her thin clothes.

When is this time, it's getting cold?And the willow leaves by the river are still very firm and green.It seems that after sending An Chong to study, he will go to the town to buy some cloth and cotton to make clothes.

Cotton has already appeared in Daming, and it has developed very well in cotton cloth and cotton wool, which makes An Xu very happy.

Otherwise, in ancient times when there was no cotton, it would be hard for her not to freeze to death if she dressed as a poor person.

When An Xu was fishing for shrimps and thinking about it, there were footsteps on the road outside the river bank, followed by Zheng Changsheng's voice: "What are you doing?"

"So fast, send the eggs home, there are people at home." An Xu smiled and said, "I'll catch some shrimps."

Zheng Changsheng sent the rattan basket to An's house, then came out, rolled up his sleeves and said, "I'm the best at catching these fish and shrimp, let me help you."

An Xu lifted the basket, dumped three or five transparent river shrimps at the bottom into the bamboo basket beside him, and said with a smile, "No need."

Zheng Changsheng paused when he got down, and the transparent sunlight hit the girl's bright smile, which turned pale.

Andanie, have you always smiled so beautifully?
"Let me come," Zheng Changsheng descended along the high river bank, picked up the handle of the bamboo basket floating by the river, and sent it to the depths of the water, "there are many fish and shrimp in the middle of the river."

At this time, two gray teal ducks swam up from the lower reaches of the river, causing ripples in the river.

Zheng Changsheng chased the two ducks away and said, "Let's go upriver, farther away from the village, where there are more fish and shrimp."

In fact, there are a lot of small fish and shrimps in the river at the entrance of Anjia. This stuff is fishy and has little meat. It is not a time of famine. People in the village don't like to eat this.

But feeding geese and ducks is very good, but the villagers don't have the time to catch them, so they put the geese and ducks in the water to eat by themselves.

Therefore, the number of fish and shrimps here is still much less than that of the previous section upstream into the mountain.

Hearing Zheng Changsheng's words, An Xu nodded: "Okay, but I'll trouble you."

Zheng Changsheng hurriedly waved his hand and said, "Actually, I am also thanking you. If it weren't for you, I might have left the village a few days ago."

As the two spoke, they walked along the wet bank near the river.

In Pu County, in the backyard of the county government, Lu Ningxin had just finished her meal, rinsed her mouth, wiped the corners of her lips with a handkerchief, and said, "Qingluan, get ready, I'm going out."

At this moment, Qingluan was like the number one beside Lu Ningxin, after receiving the order, she went to the inner room to pack the things that the girl needed to go out.

As for Qing Fen, the eldest maid who was most trusted by Lu Ningxin earlier, she has been squeezed out to lead the job of pulling the curtain at the door.Hearing the voice of the lady in the room giving orders, thinking of the past, the sense of right and wrong is especially strong.

When Lu Ningxin went out, her eyes swept over Qing Fen who was opening the curtain respectfully and earnestly. When she looked forward, her eyes seemed to be watching a good show.

The carriage left from the back door of the county government office, and not long after it left, a little girl came out quietly with her head poking her head out to chase the carriage.

Qingluan kept looking back from the car window, and said, "Miss, Erya is here."

Lu Ningxin twirled a grape, because it was just bought, and it still had white frost on it, "I knew she couldn't help it. Let her come up."

When Erya came up, she saw Sister Qingluan cleaning the grapes for the young lady, the grapes were so purple and black, round and round, not to mention very cute.

Unconsciously swallowing, Erya looked away, and replied: "Miss, Sister Qingfen found a chance to go out not long after you left, and I followed her all the way to the wife's yard."

Lu Ningxin smiled and gestured.

Qingluan sent a small bunch of grapes to Erya, and said: "Go back, be smart. If the old lady calls, tell me that Miss has gone to Jixiang Temple to deliver the copied Buddhist scriptures."

Erya happily agreed, took the grapes with both hands and jumped out of the car.

"Miss, where are we going next?" Qingluan asked.

"Go to the rouge shop and have a look." Lu Ningxin said, "It's been a while since I bought these things for you."

Sure enough, as she expected, there are not many rouge shops in this small place in Xipu County, and the second one they went to was Zhou's Rouge Shop.

Standing at the door of the Rouge Shop, looking at the plaque hanging above, Lu Ningxin smiled slightly, and apologized in her heart: "Prince Jin, I'm sorry, you are a loyal servant, I will accept it first."

King Jin is violent and offends people everywhere. In his previous life, he really missed her when he died. He was still a widow.There are eight loyal servants around him, which are quite praised by the world.

One of them was Zheng Guo, and Lu Ningxin had heard about it from the wives, because this person was from the same ancestral home as Zong Che, and she had a deep memory of him.

Later, the King of Jin was killed by the new king in an unwarranted name, and some things in the Prince Jin's mansion were no secret. The duties of the eight loyal servants also became the talk of the people in the capital after tea and dinner.

This Zheng Guo is an expert in business, and under his management, all the shops in Jin Wangfu are making money every day.

Lu Ningxin was greeted by the waiter of Zhou's Rouge Shop, walked to the counter, smiled and thought that she was not greedy at all, she just borrowed King Jin as a loyal servant.

"Do you have a guy named Zheng Guo here?" After watching for a while, Lu Ningxin asked casually.

Xiaoer was stunned for a moment, then shook his head, "No, is this Zheng Guo the guest officer is looking for?"

"Yeah, relatives from my mother's side," Lu Ningxin made up an excuse casually, but she was a little flustered. She learned from Zong Che that the details of King Jin's shops and how capable Zheng Guo was, Have someone check him out.

But because the other party is only a servant after all, it is difficult to find out the origin. The last clue that can be found is that he offended Miss Zhou's family when he was working as a waiter in the Zhou family's rouge shop in Jipu County. He was falsely accused of stealing and almost turned over to the government. King Jin of Huaiyang Mansion next door passed by here and bought Zheng Guo as his servant with ten taels of silver.

And the days when King Jin passed through Chipu County, she remembered very clearly, it should be today, and his father had entertained him in the county government in his previous life.

So now Zheng Guo should have been in Zhou's rouge shop.

Lu Ningxin asked again: "Do you have someone surnamed Zheng here?"

Xiao Er was a little impatient, asking this and that whether he should buy it or not.

Seeing that the other party was not dressed like an ordinary person, he didn't dare to get mad, so he just smiled and said: "No, none of our guys here, including all the servants of the boss in the backyard, have the surname Zheng."

"How come?" Lu Ningxin murmured.

----

"Okay, this basket is quite a lot, enough to eat."

Seeing that Zheng Changsheng brought up another basket, almost half full of shrimps, An Xu took it and poured it into the bamboo basket. At this time, the bamboo basket she was carrying was already full of fish and shrimps that kept tumbling and jumping.

Zheng Changsheng stood in the water with his trousers on his heels, and asked after hearing the words: "You don't need a lot of food business?"

"I just caught my own food, and even if these are ingredients, they are enough." An Xu said with a smile, "Come on, it's thanks to you today, and I'll treat you to shrimp later."

Zheng Changsheng was a little embarrassed and said, "I should thank you."

Wading on the water to settle the case, the shoe he put on one side was in his hand, and the other hand was about to help An Xu carry the bamboo basket of fish and shrimp.

Unexpectedly, before his hand touched the edge of the bamboo basket, the bamboo basket had already been lifted up by his thin arms.

Under the half-rolled cuffs is an arm as thin as a bamboo pole, and because it is carrying a heavy bamboo pole, it is so tightly stretched that it doesn't look strong at all.

 Everyone is still there, united.
