Chapter 24 Stunning Beauty
The woman moved a small bench to Chen Xi. After Chen Xi thanked her, she sat in the corner of the door and looked at the woman and the little girl with a smile. There was an octagonal table in front of the counter, and there was still some food on it. The woman cleaned up the food on the table and turned around and asked, "Have you eaten, you kid?"
Chen Xi smiled and replied: "I've eaten at home."
The woman then packed the things in a regular manner, and then said to the little girl: "Go inside to eat. Mom needs to grind medicine after packing it. Don't come out to make trouble, do you know?"
When he was used to Zhou's harsh words, he suddenly heard the gentle tone of the beautiful woman in front of him. Chen Xi felt very pleasing to the eye. The woman walked into the backyard, took in the unknown herbs of the small radish basket, poured it into the stone mortar on the side of the counter, and then picked up the stone pestle and started grinding the medicine.
Chen Xi looked at it silently, feeling extremely peaceful.
The rain outside did not stop, and suddenly the sound of rapid footsteps came, and someone knocked on the door.
The beautiful woman got up and opened the door panel, and welcomed two tall men. The tall man came in and put away the umbrella and said, "Hui Niang, let's get the medicine. It's the prescription that Dr. Xu prescribed last time. You can just catch it." After that, he took out a piece of paper from his arms and handed it over.
The woman took the prescription to the counter and looked carefully. When she felt that there was no problem, she compared the contents above and used a pill to determine the amount.
Chen Xi thought to himself: "It turns out that this thrillingly beautiful woman is called Hui Niang, but for some reason she showed up in public, is it because there is no man in the family?"
When Hui Niang was taking medicine, the two men started chatting, saying that Mr. Lin Zhongyelin, the Ministry of Works, only half of the opera was listened to in the teahouse, and finally returned home in a disappointment.
The two of them were so excited that they didn't pay attention to Chen Xi sitting at the corner of the wall.
The tall man said, "You don't know, the chief clerk of Xia went to find the storyteller to punish him. Who would have thought that the Yang family general was not compiled by the storyteller at all, but was taught by others. Do you think this matter is strange? I guess at this moment the yamen sent people all over the city to find out the person who wrote the storyteller of the Yang family general."
Chen Xi showed a sneer on his face.
The yamen deducted his reward, and he wrote the Yang family's book to the storyteller, which was finally popular all over the city, with the purpose of allowing the culprit to learn the lessons they deserve. Now that the fish has taken the bait, it depends on how to act next.
Soon after, the two men took the medicine and left, and the rain outside became much lighter. Chen Xi stood up and said goodbye: "Auntie, I'm leaving. Thank you for letting me in shelter from the rain."
"What a sensible baby Xier. In the future, you have to learn from this brother and be a good child who is well-educated, do you know?" Hui Niang smiled brightly. Although it was raining outside, it made people feel sunny.
"Oh." The little girl was young and ignorant, and responded, blinking her eyes at Chen Xi, innocent and charming, making Chen Xi feel extremely cute.
In Shen Xi's eyes, this little girl is much better than Lin Dai, who likes to complain at home. After all, Lin Dai is almost ten years old. Her innocence is gradually becoming dissatisfied, and her mind is becoming more and more mature. I don't know that it will cause trouble in the future!
On the way home, Chen Xi thought that if he had the chance in the future, he would definitely come to see Hui Niang again and ask clearly what was going on at her home.
