Rebirth of the pastoral landlady

Chapter 257 Danger strikes (Part [-])
Jin Xi was stunned. It turned out that in Yunzhou City, thousands of miles south, people lived in the royal family. Oh, I have been human for two lifetimes. I have never seen what the real royal family is like. I don’t know what those princes are like. Are you guys like the dragons and phoenixes shown in TV and novels?
After a brief whirlwind, Jin Xi couldn't help laughing secretly, not self-deprecating, a girl from a mountain village like her, even though she is promising in the eyes of the villagers, in the eyes of those dignitaries, she is just a merchant after all.

Scholars, farmers, businessmen, even those big merchants who are wealthy, have no social status in the eyes of dignitaries, let alone her?It is extremely difficult to witness the demeanor of the royal family.

Forget it, then it’s gone. People in the royal family are also human beings. Humans are all raised eyebrows and noses, and their feet are on the ground. If they really have three heads and six arms, they are not considered human, they are considered monsters!Thinking of it this way, Jin Xi's heart suddenly widens, and such a small life is also very good!

"Let's get down to business, Uncle Zhang, how are those three black pigs in your family doing now?" Jin Xi asked, the county magistrate of Wanghai was notified in Yunzhou, and they followed the clues to arrest those bad guys who were connected between the two places. Pig dealers, then, this batch of black pigs smuggled in must also be recycled.

"The three black pigs in the pigpen in the backyard of my house, the county magistrate issued a strict order not to slaughter them, and they have to be confiscated and then disposed of on the spot. Didn't Mao Shiba slip away? The county magistrate was furious and was dispatching the guards at the gate of the yamen Intensify efforts to arrest and bring the pigs to the county. It will take time to transport the pigs from here to the county seat. In this way, the magistrate wrote an official document and asked me to pass it to Li Zheng in our village, and let Li Zheng supervise it. Kill those three black pigs and bury them on the spot!"

Butcher Zhang said that although he lost the money of the three pigs on this trip and made his teeth ache even when he slept, but compared to going to prison and leaving the whole family with nothing to rely on, Butcher Zhang is willing to lose money Disaster relief!

Jin Xi nodded slightly when she heard this, and said, "To save money and eliminate disasters, Uncle Zhang, if you work harder in the future, you will be able to earn it back in half a year at most!"

"That's the reason, as long as there are people around, everything is easy to talk about!" Zhang Tuhu has experienced this turmoil, and gained a lot of experience and insights that he had never had before. Hearing this, he nodded deeply and looked at Jin Xi more A layer of admiration, thanks to this girl's precautions...

After Butcher Zhang left, Liang Yuzhong went to the village to visit Mrs. Tan.Before leaving, he did not forget to tell Jinxi a thousand times, nothing more than to tell Jinxi not to go out of the house, just stroll around in the front house and backyard!
Jin Xi nods helplessly. Mao Shiba has not been arrested for a day, and it seems that his actions will be restricted for a day. Oh, this state is not a problem!

Feeling rather depressed, she went back to the backyard, and went straight to her own room to read. Outside, Mrs. Sun and Mrs. Sun called Dong Ma to the East Wing. After careful questioning, they also found out about Mao Shiba. God and Sun immediately turned pale with horror.

"Old lady and madam, don't panic too much. I heard from the master and the others that the county magistrate has transferred all the guards at the gate of the yamen. Our Wanghai County is only that big at best, unless that person grows wings and flies away." County, otherwise, it will take ten days and a half months to be arrested and brought to justice!" Dong Ma tried her best to persuade.

"Cousin, I've made up my mind. Until Mao Shiba is found, I won't go to Fucheng, and I'll just stay at home!" Taozhi also said, originally it was agreed that Jinxi would accompany her, but now something happened. In such a matter, Taozhi naturally puts Jinxi's safety first.

"Taozhi, your situation can't be delayed any longer. Even though Xi'er can't go far away for a while, we still have us at home! When the time comes, I will call on Yuxia and Dahu, and we will go to Fucheng with you! "Sun turned her head and said to Taozhi.

"Cousin, it's been a while, and I'm not in the mood to make a diagnosis. I'd better hold on to Xi'er first, listen to me!" Tao Zhi said firmly, so it would be useless for Mrs. Sun and Mrs. Sun to talk too much.

Dong Ma was ordered by Mrs. Sun to find Steward Cai and Cai Qingyang and his son in the front yard, and discussed with them in the dining hall about the guarding arrangements at home. Come see the nursing home.There are only the Cai family and his son in the care of the nursing home, after all, they are a little weak on their own.In the end, Mrs. Sun, who has always been frugal about her family, proposed to buy someone from outside and come back to work as a nursing home!
Their initial discussions were subdued and not too loud, but as they talked, each of them became more excited and frightened, and their voices became louder.Jin Xi's hearing is excellent, and the door of the room is half-closed, so the conversations from the canteen can be continuously heard in her ears, and she has to be distracted while she is reading.

Jin Xi sighed helplessly, put a bookmark made of bamboo leaves in the Yunzhou chapter of the Dayue Kingdom in her hand, closed the book and put it in a drawer, got up and walked towards the dining hall outside the house.

"Mother, you don't have to be so panicky, and you don't have to go outside to buy someone to protect me. First, you can't buy someone you like in a hurry. Second, if someone with ulterior motives takes the opportunity to sneak in, wouldn't it be Did you lure a wolf into the house?" Jin Xi leaned on the door frame at the entrance of the dining hall to stand, and said in a clear voice to the group of people around the table in the room.

"But Xi'er, mother don't worry!" Sun said anxiously.

"I don't go out, I stay at home every day, Mao Shiba doesn't have the guts to find our place!" Jin Xi said.

"He's a wanted desperado right now, so what's not to say and why not?" Sun said even more frightened, and insisted on going outside to buy a nursing home.

"Mother, if you're really worried, then there's no need to buy someone. It's really not possible. Tomorrow when Dad goes to town, I'll ask him to send a message to Ah Cai and Ah Wang, and let the two of them come and protect me. Isn't that all right?" Jin Xi smiled helplessly, and said, no matter how good Mao Shiba's skill is, it can't match Ah Cai's skill, and A Wang, who is meticulous and cautious, with these two people close by to protect him, there will be three more Mao Shiba , Jin Xi is not afraid either.

So, the matter was settled for the time being, and the next morning, Liang Yuzhong left for the town as soon as he got up, and when Chenshi Jinxi got up and washed, and was about to have breakfast, Ah Cai and Ah Wang hurried over to Jinji Jinxi's family in the mountain village is responsible for protecting Jinxi's safety.

Although Sun's original intention was to wish to stare at Jinxi for twelve hours, and did not want Jinxi to leave her nose for half a step.However, Jin Xi can't stay in the backyard for twelve hours, she will be suffocated, and it's not realistic.It can't be because Mao Shiba is at large that she can't go anywhere or do anything at home, can she?
Besides, this morning, she must go to visit Wending who is seriously ill.

"Xi'er, you are staying at home. Mother went to visit brother Wen for you. Mother hasn't seen him for a while, and she gave him two pairs of shoes, which happened to be taken with her!" Sun said.

"Mom, I know what you're worried about. Look, I have Ah Cai and Ah Wang by my side. Besides, I'm going to the town, not the county seat. The sky is bright and the day is on the official road, and the town is full of people. It's someone I know well, don't get in the way!" Jin Xi comforted.

Sun had no choice but to follow Jin Xi, and asked Cai Qingyang to drive the three of them to the town in a carriage.

Changqiao Town, Magpie Bridge Alley.

Cai Qingyang parked the carriage firmly at the gate of the small courtyard where Wending lived, Awang stepped forward to knock on the door, Uncle Fu came and opened the door, and when he saw Jin Xi standing outside the door, Uncle Fu was obviously taken aback. Surprised, a flash of surprise quickly flashed in his eyes, and hurriedly invited Jin Xi to the yard after exchanging pleasantries.

"Miss Jinxi, it's great that you can come to visit. For some reason, my young master has been depressed since noon yesterday. The old servant doesn't care much about delivering medicine to him, and always looks distracted. It's really worrying! Miss Jinxi, please help me with some persuasion later." Uncle Fu led Jinxi and the others into the room, and said to Jinxi in a low voice.

Jin Xi nodded, and said, "Don't worry, Uncle Fu, I will definitely persuade you. I don't know what disease Brother Wen has? How long have you been bedridden?"
Uncle Fu hesitated for a while, and said: "The young master is suffering from fever, and the doctor told him to stay in bed for recuperation, and it will take about half a month."

Jin Xi frowned, hot wind disease is a dialect in Wanghai area, but it is actually wind heat cold in modern medicine.It's just that in ancient times, the medical conditions were far inferior to modern times, and it was the end of spring and the beginning of summer, and it was a bit cool in the morning and evening, but during the day, especially at noon, it was often hot and sweaty.With such frequent alternation of hot and cold, many people suffer from heat wind disease during this period.

Wen Ding has been bedridden for more than half a month, and it seems that the illness is not serious, Jin Xi thought to himself, following Fu Bo from the corridor on the left side of the main house to the row of houses behind.

The courtyard where Wending lived was not luxurious at all, but it was elegantly furnished.There are two rows of houses in the front and back, and there are Chaoshou verandahs on the left and right.On the outside of Chaoshou veranda, rows of green bamboos are planted. The sun shines from the east, and the morning dew on the bamboo leaves is crystal clear under the sunlight.Inside the Chaoshou veranda, there is a small courtyard surrounded by various seasonal flowers and fruit trees.

Uncle Fu lived in the front row of houses, and Wending lived in the back row. In a small quiet courtyard, there were two masters and servants.

"Miss Jin Xi, I'll bring you here, stay here for a light meal at noon, and this old servant will go to prepare." Fu Bo sincerely invited.

Jin Xi smiled and nodded, Uncle Fu turned and went back to the front, Jin Xi stood on the veranda, staring at the third room in the middle of the row of houses at the end of the veranda, slightly frowned.Turning around, he told Ah Cai and Ah Wang behind him, Ah Wang turned and went to the front to help Uncle Fu cook, Ah Cai waited in the veranda, Jin Xi stepped forward alone, and walked towards the house where Wen Ding lived.

Jin Xi raised her hand and knocked on the door twice, and Wen Ding's familiar voice came from inside: "Come in."
