Fourth Lord's Black Moonlight Queen

Chapter 68

On the bank of Qiantang River, in the depths of Wuyi Lane, this place is quite a while away from the bustling main city, so the land price is not expensive.

Most of the neighbors live by fishing, or traffickers who travel north and south live here.

A month ago, a grocery store opened at the end of the alley. In addition to the usual sugar, rice, oil, salt, soy sauce and vinegar tea, it also sold some Qiulubai, which is sweet and mild, which people in the south of the Yangtze River love to drink.

And the shopkeeper is a young widow, because her father-in-law's surname is Li, and she is the fourth eldest in the family, so the neighbors also politely call her Si Niang.

It is said that her father-in-law was killed by water bandits a few months ago, God is pitiful, but fortunately she was pregnant at that time, but how will she live as an orphan and widow in the future?

This Li Siniang is also a very easy-going woman, coupled with the rough experience, the neighbors all sympathize with her, and take care of her business from time to time, giving them a little care.

"Si Niang, today is the Laba Festival. Come, come to my aunt's house to drink Laba porridge. I made a big pot, and Fushun and his son couldn't finish it."

Zhang, the fisher girl on the opposite side, snatched the baby clothes from Li Jingui's hands who were rushing to work, and dragged her towards her yard.

"It's only been three months. Look at you, you usually look sluggish, and your belly doesn't show. You must not eat much."

"Sister Liying, I'm sorry that Si Niang always comes to your house for dinner, just wait~"

She turned around and fetched a bag of osmanthus candy from the cabinet, but Mrs. Zhang snatched it and put it back on the cabinet.

"Rely on relatives and friends at home, and rely on neighbors when we go out. When Father Fu Shun and I go fishing on weekdays, thanks to you for taking care of my son, why are you so polite~"

"Fu Shun is five years old. He is very well-behaved. If you give him a piece of sugar cake, he can sit obediently in front of the store without running around. Taking care of him is not hard at all."

Li Jingui waved his hand hastily, and stubbornly stuffed the bag of sweet-scented osmanthus candies into Mrs. Zhang's hands. This girl is very stubborn, if she doesn't accept the bag of sweet-scented osmanthus sweets, she might really please her.

Left and right are not valuable things, so Mrs. Zhang accepted it with half push.

Stepping into the small courtyard, besides Fushun and his son, there was also a man who looked like he was in his early twenties.

"Si Niang is here, hurry up and make this Laba porridge while it's hot~"

Father Fu Shun took out a large bowl of hot Laba porridge and placed it in front of Li Jingui.

At this time, there was still a while before dinner time, but Li Jingui, who was pregnant, was already hungry, so he was not being pretentious, and he ate deliciously.

"Si Niang, this is Chen Wenzheng, Fu Shun's father's brother-in-law. He is 25 this year and belongs to the tiger. He is the one who opened the Jishitang at the entrance of Wuyi Lane."

Mrs. Zhang took the Laba porridge and ate it slowly, while introducing this man to Li Jingui.

"Is that so? I also often go to catch things that can help with pregnancy, but I have never seen this Mr. Chen." She couldn't help but doubt.

"I came here a few months ago. I went outside the customs to buy medicinal materials. I just came back yesterday. The old doctor in Jishitang is... my grandfather."

But the man stammered nervously, his ears were a little red, he had never seen such a restrained man, like a shy little daughter-in-law.

Li Jingui couldn't help covering her mouth and sniggering, but was knocked on the table by Mrs. Zhang, so she hurriedly buried herself in the porridge.

On the Qiantang River across the street from the small courtyard, Tang Haoqing was wrapped in a black fox cloak and stood quietly in the painting boat with his hands behind his back.

"Master, those who chased him believed that Miss Li was dead, and his subordinates followed the clues of those dead men to find clues. It seems that the person who wanted to take Miss Jingui's life was that Sibeile's concubine Fujin."
