Chapter 210

Jinxi stroked her forehead and said, "Fourth Aunt, you are really right. Before you came in, you were close to my house, and your grandma had a prejudice against you. After that, you were not like my mother and aunt in Lao Liang's house. Swallow everything, and my grandma doesn't want to see you anymore."

"It's okay, as long as your fourth uncle waits for me!" Cui Xique said disapprovingly.

Sun shook her head helplessly and smiled, and said: "Magpie, although you have not been married for a long time, you are smarter than me at that moment. It took me two or three years to figure out Grandma Xi'er's weird temper. You are better than me." sharp."

Cui Xique sighed, and said: "You know, I am happy to do this, and I also want to have fun, but the idea is good, but the current situation is miserable. Don't talk anymore, I should go back and cook dinner. Tonight Let me and the fourth child take care of dad, there is no need to delay."

Early in the morning on the sixth day of the first lunar month, Sun Dahu, Sun Yuxia, Sun Erhu, Sun Yubao, and Qinya all appeared at the gate of the big courtyard when they were having breakfast at Jinxi’s house on time. Today is the day when the shops in the town and county are open, big guys They came to Jinxi's house in high spirits to meet up, and then they drove to the town with the firecrackers for the opening.

Cui Xique and Liang Yuzhou waited on the old Liangtou last night. Jinxi originally thought that she would not be able to go to town today, but unexpectedly, when Jinxi and the others went to the shop, Cui Xique and Liang Yuzhou rushed over in a hurry Even though they all looked tired and lacked sleep, they were still in good spirits.

"The hotpot shop in the county town opens on the eighth day of the eighth day, and there are still two days to spare. Dahu, Yubao, I, and I will go there first to pick up Ah Cai's hand, clean up and arrange it, and wait for the eighth day to open for business," Sun Yuxia said to Jin Xi excitedly said: "Oh, and your Auntie Taozhi, who will accompany you, Ga Po, to wait until the fifteenth day of the first lunar month before leaving the mountain."

Jin Xi nodded, Sun Yuxia and the others had to continue on their way to the county seat after lunch, Jin Xi hurriedly ordered everyone to set off firecrackers, happily fired Sun Ji and Qian Lixiang, and amidst the deafening sound of firecrackers, Jin Xi Praying in my heart, I hope that in the new year, the business will flourish and lead everyone to live a more prosperous life!
Liang Yuzhong and Sun Dahu, Jin Xi and Sun Erhu and Sun Yubao split into two groups, and before lunch, they brought gifts and went to the town to pay New Year's greetings to a few good friends.The three of Jin Xi came out of Chaxiangxuan, went straight to Wending's in Queqiao Alley, and met Wending and Uncle Fu at the entrance of the alley.Seeing what Uncle Fu was carrying in his hand, he also looked like he was about to go out.Wen Ding sent Uncle Fu out to visit, and returned by himself, and invited Sun Erhu and his family to drink tea and talk.

Jin Xi is attracted by the plum blossoms in the backyard of Wending's house, so she temporarily resigns and comes to the backyard to look at the flowers. After a while, Wending also comes over.

"If you like the plum blossoms, how about picking a few and putting them in a bottle?" he said softly.

Jin Xi's eyes lit up, and she said: "I was looking forward to it so much, but by chance you opened your mouth, it's kind of you!"

Wen Ding smiled, stood behind Jin Xi with his hands behind his back, and said, "Words came from the county government, and within five days at most, your uncle colluded with some grave robbers from Wangjia Village to steal the tomb of Mrs. Liang from the Liang family in Fenglin Town. Formal interrogation. Right now, the evidence about your uncle's collusion and reselling of artifacts is still in the hands of our people, and has not yet been officially handed over to Fenglin Town. If the Liang family in Fenglin Town has convincing evidence this time, your uncle and the others will not come out. Accidents will definitely end up in prison."

"Yeah. Brother Wen's subordinates are really good at handling things. I never imagined that my uncle, who is as cunning as a fox, can grab his fox's tail!" Jin Xi twirled a plum blossom, sniffed it gently under her nose, Responding lightly, the expression on the corners of his eyes and brows was light and peaceful, without any waves.

Wen Ding was a little surprised, and said, "Xi'er, have you really thought about it carefully? If we hand over the evidence, your uncle's crimes must be confirmed. According to the power of the Liang family in Fenglin Township and their family and the county The grandpa's in-law relationship, and the emperor's criminal law on tomb robbery, even if your uncle is an accomplice, he must be sentenced to at least three years in prison. As for the bombing and wounding, compensation is inevitable. "

"Three years in prison? Well, it's barely enough punishment for the things my uncle committed. However, if you count that he sold me to be the granddaughter of the old man Liang before, it's like letting him live for the rest of his life." It's hard to get rid of my anger even if I'm in the cell!" Jin Xi twirled the plum blossoms and said in a clear voice.

Wen Ding's eyes flashed slightly, he hesitated for a moment, and said: "There is one more thing, although I shouldn't tell you, but after thinking about it, I think you need to know, and it's about Mrs. Liang's granddaughter. thing!"

Jin Xi looked at Wending, and said almost word for word: "The Liang family in Fenglin Town, bought a granddaughter there, it is really for the funeral of Mrs. Liang, isn't it?"

Wen Ding lowered his eyes, then raised them, nodded and said: "Well, it can be said that it is used for burial, but more importantly, it is used for 'nourishment'."

Jin Xi is quite unfamiliar with the burial, and said, "What is 'nourishing Qi'?"

When asked about this, even Wending could not help flashing a hint of shock in his eyes, and said: "You should have heard your master mention the Anding Liang clan of the previous dynasty, right? The Anding Liang clan was most prosperous in the Guangzong period of the previous dynasty. It is said that the ancestors were all officials, a double Jinshi, grandparents and grandsons Tanhualang. There was also a princess and two side concubines. Later, because of the wrong team in the officialdom, the prince who supported him failed to compete for the great treasure. Kou, the Anding Liang family was not only suppressed, but completely subverted. The descendants wandered around, and finally ended up in the Liang family in Fenglin Town, Wanghai County, Qing'an Prefecture. Later, the world began to be chaotic, and the lords of the four directions competed for the throne. After the first emperor of this dynasty had experienced a bloody storm to calm down the world, he wanted to start appease the people, so he issued an imperial decree to amnesty the world."

Jin Xi couldn't help laughing, and Wen Ding was a little surprised by her sudden smile.

"Brother Wen, you are really able to digress. You actually started talking about the big family in the past, and everything starts from the earliest. That really echoes the saying: A child without a mother is a long story..."

Wending rubbed his nose in embarrassment, and said, "Don't worry, it will get down to business soon. The imperial decree of the emperor of this dynasty naturally made the descendants of the Liang family in Fenglin Town who have been suppressed but dare not be silent However, after so many years of silence, it is difficult for the descendants of the Liang family to find someone as outstanding as their ancestors to revitalize the family. Often such a large family cares most about the feng shui of the ancestor's tomb after death. Just like the royal family pays attention to the dragon's veins. Therefore, the people of the Liang family in Fenglin town made a big fuss about the feng shui of this ancestor's tomb, hoping to reverse the family's luck and bless future generations. This is how the Liang family came into being. The old man did not hesitate to spend a lot of money to buy the stubble of his granddaughter! Even though it has long since fallen, it is the real direct line of the Anding Liang family, and a lean camel is bigger than a horse, so the family wealth is beyond our imagination."

Jin Xi's eyes were burning, waiting for Wending's next words.

"According to the reliable information I inquired about, the old man of the Liang family in Fenglin Town invited many famous Mr. Earth Immortals to come to his home three years ago to search for geomantic treasures in the mountains and hills behind Fenglin Town. Later, It can be regarded as a treasure land that is said to be able to absorb the aura of mountains and rivers. The Liang family happily ordered people to build a tomb in the depths of the mountain three years ago. Although the tomb project cannot be compared with those princes The scale of the nobles is comparable, but in our area, I am afraid that even the prefect of Qing'an Prefecture City has less financial and material resources than the Liang family!"

"Just after the tomb of the old man of the Liang family was completely repaired, the Mr. Dixian who found the precious land at the beginning made some calculations and said that there are two coffins with excellent geomantic omen in that tomb. The coffin must be installed, otherwise the vacant place will attract those evil spirits because it has absorbed too much aura from the mountains and rivers. At that time, not only will it not be able to bless future generations, but it will also bring disaster! Only in that space Place a coffin for raising corpses in the place where the old man was buried, and a person who is related to Mrs. Liang's blood is buried inside, which can be regarded as a joint burial, which is called nourishing Qi in Feng Shui!"

"Since there is such a good feng shui position, it would be a pity to waste it. Mrs. Liang could have killed his eldest son, and the father and son would occupy the same position!" Jin Xi sneered, knowing in her heart that it was impossible.

Wen Ding also shook his head with a wry smile, secretly observing the changes in Jin Xi's expression while speaking, as soon as she showed panic at any time, he would immediately stop talking, but luckily Jin Xi just listened quietly, frowning slightly With a thoughtful look.

"Your Liang family in Jinjishan was moved from Huhai County by your grandfather's generation. After all, the Liang family in Huhai County is also a stable collateral lineage. There should be some blood connection in the bones. The fairy said, even if The relationship is estranged, as long as you recognize a goddaughter, and let him do some ceremonies, you can use fake corpses to store energy, and attract the aura of that treasure land to bless their descendants. However, the person who was raised to store energy , you will have no relationship with reincarnation, and you will fall into the boundless hell forever."

"No wonder I can sell for more than 200 taels of silver. Otherwise, at the current market price, let alone a little girl like me, even if a big man goes out and sells himself as a slave, it will only cost more than a dozen taels of silver at most! It seems that I still It's really valuable!" Jin Xi said with a cold snort.

Wen Ding took a deep breath, and caught a glimpse of the plum blossom that Jin Xi was twisting in his hand, it had already been crushed into a ball, and fell to the ground as soon as the wind blew, mixing with the soil.

Jin Xi frowned slightly, her clear eyes were now covered with a dark mist, and a hostility flashed in her eyes.It was the first time she heard something in this unfamiliar field, she was horrified and couldn't speak, tried to suppress the horror in her heart, smiled twice, and said: "My uncle really hurts me so much, find me Such a good home! Nourishment? Huh, fuck his shit, three years of prison is too little, it’s really not enough to express my respect to my uncle, brother Wen, help me, think of a way to let my uncle Let the prison be worn through? Even if you can't sit through it, it's good to be exiled to do coolies!"

Wen Ding smiled slightly, facing Shang Jinxi's eyes filled with hatred and bad temper at the moment, said: "As long as you need it, I will do my best to help you, but this time, I can help you again , but you must promise me one thing!"

Jin Xi was surprised, this is the first time Wending has negotiated terms with her, it's interesting, she likes to get what she needs in the form of a transaction, so as not to just bear the kindness, she hopes that while Wending helps her, Well, she is also useful to Wending, and only in this way can she feel at ease.

"What's the matter?" Jin Xi asked, sweeping away the gloom before, her eyes brightened instantly.

Wen Ding was fooled by her gaze, and a sense of disappointment surged in his heart. In fact, he was just a test, and wanted to see how her attitude towards him was. In fact, compared to her burning eyes at the moment, he hoped that she would Relying on herself in everything, let herself become the most indispensable person around her step by step.But, she doesn't seem to think so.
Lost for only a moment, Wending quickly adjusted his emotions. After thinking about it carefully, this kind of Jinxi should be the real her. She doesn't eat for free, and she should always reflect her sense of value and existence. That's right. Isn't it the brilliance in her that he really appreciates and is attracted to?
"Brother Wen, tell me quickly, what exactly do you want me to promise? If it's about doing business, how about we go in and sit down and talk in detail?" Jin Xi said.

Wen Ding smiled slightly, and said: "It's really about business, next time, when you go to the county seat, we will talk about it in detail, today you are here to pay New Year's greetings, I asked my servants to prepare lunch, Today we only talk about eating and drinking!"

……

After having a sumptuous and elegant lunch in Wending's small courtyard, Sun Yubao thought about leaving for the county seat in the afternoon, so he left early. Sun Erhu and Jin Xi chatted in Wending for a while, then also got up to say goodbye, and left. Magpie Bridge Alley.

The two walked back to Sun Ji's area, and they had to pass in front of Wang Ji Medical Center on the street they passed along the road. Jinxi thought that Sun Shi came back from Tan Shi's this morning, and said that Tan Shi was right about the wheat bran pillow he sent. It's very useful. It's more troublesome than a few plasters.After Mrs. Sun came back, she and Liang Yuzhong made a plan, and the couple didn't want to spend a few pennies on the old man's illness.

So, when Jinxi went out after breakfast, Mrs. Sun told her to remember to bring some plasters for Mrs. Tan to stick home.

Jin Xi asked Sun Erhu to wait in front of the Wang Ji Medical Center, and went into the Medical Center by herself. For the Wang Ji Medical Center, Jin Xi was already very familiar with Dr. Wang and several apprentices inside.When Mrs. Sun gave birth, and when Taozhi drowned, Dr. Wang went to Jinjishan Village for outpatient visits.

The Wang Family Medical Center is the largest time-honored medical center in Changqiao Town. The lobby inside is divided into three parts. There is a large table at the front of the door. Today’s doctor is Dr. Liu. There are medicine tables and medicine racks in the row, and there are two pharmacists standing inside, filling medicine for people.On the left side of the lobby, there is a small cubicle, which is not separated by a screen or something, but a translucent curtain. It is mainly used to receive some female patients, or those who have hidden diseases. The patients who can't face being exposed in front of others are diagnosed and treated. The curtains are drawn down during normal diagnosis, and the curtains are hung from both sides when there is no diagnosis.

Now, when Jinxi stepped into Wangji Medical Center, Dr. Liu was there to take the pulse, and there were two people waiting behind him. In front of the medicine rack on the right, Jinxi glanced hurriedly, and gathered around a few people to grab medicine. people.Jinxi glanced behind the high hanging curtain on the left, seeing that Dr. Wang is not here today, so Jinxi went straight to Dr. Liu, hoping to tell him about Tan's situation in detail later, so that he could give him a better report. Prescribe some plasters.

Jin Xi was concentrating on watching Doctor Liu diagnose the two people in front of her. At this moment, there was a commotion in front of the medicine table on the right. Jin Xi turned her head and saw a man in shabby clothes pushing away from the medicine table. The few people who were waiting in line to grab the medicine were lying on the medicine table, begging the two medicine apprentices inside. The obedient meaning should be that they wanted the medicine apprentice to lend a pair of medicines to the mother-in-law at home. .

The man was complaining about his poverty, telling how difficult his family was, with seniors and children, many children, his wife fell ill, the few acres of fields at home were not manned enough, and the harvest in the crops last year was not good, etc... In short, the man stopped in front of the medicine table and told his family's difficult history in tears. The purpose was to win the sympathy of the medicine apprentices, the people around him, and Dr. Liu here. Let him get a pair of medicine on credit and give it to his mother-in-law to drink.

Jin Xi frowned slightly, no matter which way of the world it is, they always laugh at the poor rather than prostitutes, and don't help the poor when they are in emergency. That man mistakenly thought that what he said about being pitiful would win sympathy. His calculation was wrong. A man with hands and feet What a living person, why do you let your wife come out to beg for the sympathy of others when she doesn't even have the money to buy medicine?Too incompetent, not only no one will sympathize with him, but will only be more disdainful.

Sure enough, the man burst into tears and said a lot, the two medicine apprentices still waved their hands indifferently and even impatiently, and said: "Your family is really pitiful, but we are just medicine apprentices here. It’s not the shopkeeper, we can’t control it, so don’t make it difficult for us. Besides, you come to our clinic for medicine on credit, not once or twice, if people are like you, our clinic will be closed long ago!”

The impatient people who were waiting behind were also dissatisfied with accusing the man, saying: "Who doesn't have a wife, a wife and children? An old man who has no skills should study how to make money, don't stand in the way Follow our way!"

The man's face was red, and seeing the two medicine apprentices jump over him and grab the medicine for the people behind him, he became anxious and ran towards Dr. Liu, begging: "Doctor Liu, please forgive me, everyone!" They are all from the folks and elders, will I get the medicine once on credit? When the rice enters the warehouse in autumn, I promise to pay back the money for the medicine with interest!"

Dr. Liu, Jin Xi, also met twice. He is quite a nice person. He has been your doctor for most of his life in Wang Ji, so he can be regarded as half of the head of the family.

Dr. Liu had just seen the patient in front of him, and was writing the prescription to send that person to the medicine counter to get the medicine. Seeing this man begging in front of him, he couldn't help sighing, and said earnestly: "Lai Er, our Wang Ji is not The place where loan sharks are placed, don’t want you to bring interest on your principal, and you are not the one who runs a charity hall. You have owed medicine money on credit for no less than three times in our Wangji, and that’s not counting my visit to your house in your village. Those three or five times, did you confiscate your outpatient money every time? I really can’t give you any more credit. Our Wang Ji is a medical clinic, and we doctors have to support our families. Even the pharmacists can’t use the northwest wind to support them, right? ? Hey! It’s not that we are cold-blooded and ruthless, but that our own abilities are limited!”

Lai Er couldn't achieve his goal no matter what he did, so he changed his previous behavior and left cursing. Before leaving, he even threatened that Wang Ji would not count on half a penny of the medicine money owed on credit in the past!
Dr. Liu looked at the back of Lai Er leaving, and shook his head helplessly. At this time, a young man dressed in blue and also covered in patches came out from behind the medicine table over there, but he was very handsome. Open and full, with plump and appropriate lips, crouching silkworm eyebrows, hanging bile nose, especially those eyes, bright and energetic, and the dark pupils seem to have absorbed the essence of mountains and rivers.

That look... Jin Xi will never forget.The man was holding three stacked baskets in his hand, and was handing over to the medicine apprentice. The so-called handover, after the handover, the young man hurried into the back yard with the empty baskets.

Seeing Jin Xi following the busy figure who was leaving, Dr. Liu said: "This person is different from others. Look at Mr. Guo, he is just a poor scholar, and his mother has no money to buy medicine when he is sick. But he is the same as that Lame [-] is different, people would rather come to work in the shop and use their wages in exchange for medicine fees than just bend down and beg for sympathy, this is called integrity!"

Jin Xi nodded, the eyes looked familiar just now, it really is Mr. Guo, but Jin Xi still asked for proof, and said: "Doctor Liu, is that Mr. Guo called Guo Hai?"

Dr. Liu was surprised, and said: "That's right, why, Miss Jinxi and Mr. Guo recognize each other?"

Jin Xi smiled lightly, and said, "That's right!"

After buying plasters from Wangji Medical Clinic, Jin Xi did not go to the backyard to find Guo Hai, but went straight out of the medical clinic, then whispered to Sun Erhu, Sun Erhu nodded, and then the two split up.Sun Erhu made a detour to Wangji's backyard, while Jin Xi looked up at the sun that was gradually setting to the west above her head, thought about it, and decided to let it go in the afternoon today, and it is still polite to visit people in the morning, that matter It's not too late to go again tomorrow.

In the morning of the next day, Jin Xi came to the town to take care of the shop, brought gifts, and visited Dr. Wang's house.

Because today is the seventh day of the lunar new year and the last day of the first year of last year, every household has to set off firecrackers this afternoon to drive away weasels and pray for a good harvest of chickens, ducks and geese in the coming year.Jin Xi and Liang Yuzhong returned home early, and Liang Lisheng hurried over before they could sit still.

"Third Uncle, Master asked me to come over and call you. He said he wanted you and Third Aunt to go there quickly. Second Uncle and Second Aunt were arguing over there to separate the family. They were not childish, but they were said to be instigated by Lao Yang's family. Take it!" I got a rope and was going to hang at the gate of Lao Yang’s house, and now my fourth aunt, my mother, and Aunt Mei’er are blocking there!” Liang Lisheng shouted as soon as he ran into the courtyard gate.

"What? Breaking up?" Liang Yuzhong almost spit out a sip of tea, the news shocked him to death!
