Chapter 95(1/2)
After careful examination by the medical examiner, the bodies of two unknown women found in a shipwreck in the Bian River were confirmed to have been dead for less than ten days.
However, after the female corpse was retrieved, her face was blurred, and her face seemed to have been hit with a stone. It was impossible to tell who it was. After the Imperial City Bureau checked the missing population reports of Kaifeng Prefecture in the past two months, none of them could be matched.
As a result, the origin of the two female corpses became a mystery.
The government posted reward notices to find clues among the people.
People were still pouring in towards the notice. Xin Yi was afraid that some traffickers would take the opportunity to steal the children, so he quickly led the donkey cart out and headed to a place with fewer people.
The shed of the donkey carriage is not as airtight as that of the carriage, and the canopy is very simple. After thinking about it, she still felt uneasy and warned: "You three hold hands and are not allowed to let go. If you have to shout loudly for something, do you hear me?"
"Mom, I'm holding my hand. My eldest brother and my second brother are both holding my hand."
Sannian was sitting in the middle, with her brothers on both sides.
Xin Yi turned around and saw the scene of people sitting in rows, and his lips widened.
"Okay. Sit tight. Mom is going to ride on the big horse and go shopping."
"You're a donkey!" Er Nian scolded her.
Xin Yi sneered, "What's wrong with the donkey? As long as the donkey is willing to work hard, it may not be inferior to the horse."
"No matter how hard a donkey works, it can't be as good as a horse."
"..."
Xin Yi, who originally wanted to take the opportunity to educate the chicken baby, sighed in defeat.
Yi Nian then asked, "Is the pharmacy unable to open?"
They all heard what Xin Yi and Sun Yuzhi were talking about just now.
Xin Yi didn't hide it and just said yes.
One thought: "Then what will we do next? You have no money."
What a stinky kid, she says she has no money every day, no wonder she always misses the mark every time she makes a fortune.
Xin Yi said dissatisfiedly: "Don't get into trouble, what's the big deal? If the medicine store here can't be opened, will we starve to death? Mom will take you to buy something and eat well."
After a moment of silence, he said, "Then why do you come to live in Bianjing? Don't always buy and buy...save it."
Are you here to take care of his money again?
This troublesome baby.
Xin Yi originally thought it was a bit ridiculous, but when he turned around and saw Yi Nian's tense little face, he felt pity and suddenly felt sorry for him.
How many grievances and weak treatments did you have to endure at such a young age to be so insecure and have the fear of not being able to survive at any time? You also have to learn to be a big brother and protect your younger brothers and sisters?
Moreover, I wanted to come to Bianjing to study.
Xin Yi had never been a mother before, so she didn't expect it to be so profound. When the child mentioned it, she suddenly felt that this was a serious matter. If you are poor, you can't be poor in education. Although Zhangjiacun is only more than ten miles away from Bianjing City, the Bianhe River is just over ten miles away.
, but isolate the two worlds.
If you come to the city to study, go to a better school, find a better teacher, you will definitely learn better knowledge...
Something she had never thought about before, at this moment, she gritted her teeth and made a decision.
"I still have some money on hand, and my mother helps your Uncle Fu see a doctor and gets a salary, so it won't be a problem to have enough food. After the New Year, we will go to Hongqiao first... and rent a restaurant near your uncle's food stall.
I live in a small house. Even if there is no medicine shop, I can help people ask for pulses and diagnoses. I can also make some ointments and gouache and sell them to older girls and younger wives. I have skills, so I will always find a way."
As for the exclusive medical officer Fu Jiuqu mentioned, Xin Yi had forgotten it.
Is the Prince of Guangling County so expensive? When you treat someone else, you can't look at him or touch him?
Crazy! She didn’t believe that Fu Jiuqu could manage her and support her family.
"Okay." San Nian was the most supportive. He slapped his calves and said, "Mother is the most capable. All the ladies in the village like the ointment made by me."
Second thought: "That's because they sell it cheaper than regular rouge shops. They are greedy for cheap."
One thought: "Don't talk."
Er Nian looked at him, "Brother?"
Yi Nian lowered his eyes and said, "We listen to mother."
Er Nian opened his eyes wide in surprise and looked at his elder brother without blinking.
Xin Yi has been here for so long, except for San Nian, who would happily call her mother, and Er Nian, who would occasionally make fun of her, Yi Nian had never heard even a word of "Mother" in her mouth.
When he talks to Xin Yi, it's always you and me. He's not like mother and son, but more like people living together.
This mother-in-law was serious and serious. Not only Er Nian was dumbfounded, Xin Yi was also slightly surprised.
The atmosphere was strangely awkward. She laughed twice, her eyes rolled up, and she patted the donkey's back lazily and spoke carelessly.
"That's right. Believe me, mother, it's true. In the future, when you are popular and popular, it will only be a matter of time before you get rich."
…
Xinyi bought two kilograms of meat, a lively fish, hazelnuts and dried fruits at the Yulin Street market, ate a bowl of wontons on the street, and went to a bookstall selling miscellaneous books to choose a few simple story books.
I plan to take it back, adapt it, and tell it to my children as a bedtime story.
Stopping and walking along the way, the four mothers and daughters demeaned and joked with each other, not like their biological children, but more harmonious and happy than their biological children...
Walking from Daxiangguo Temple and just about to cross the bridge, a small sedan stopped beside me, and a familiar, arrogant voice came from the sedan.
"Little widow of the Zhang family, what are you doing here?"
Xin Yi turned around and saw Cao Yilan opening the curtain and looking out.
Miss Cao was about to be engaged to the Prince of Guangling County. Her face was rosy and her eyes were bright. When she saw her, although her words were not pleasant to the ears, the nobleman stopped her sedan chair to talk to her. Thinking about it, she already considered it a "great favor".
?
Xin Yi smiled slightly and bowed slightly.
"Young lady, you don't know that the Xiangguosi Bridge is the property of Miss Cao's family? If you dare to go to the bridge, you won't have to pay the bridge tax, right?"
Cao Yilan was stunned by her ironic question and did not react.
"Who said Xiangguosi Bridge is my family's property?"
Xin Yi snorted coldly: "Then what am I doing here, and what does it have to do with Miss Cao? Can I stay somewhere cool and stop meddling in other people's business? Kaifeng Mansion doesn't have as much to do as you do. You care about heaven and earth."
Cao Yilan's face changed, and she was unable to reply for a while.
Xin Yi was not aggressive, "Goodbye."
As soon as she turned her head, she smiled again, causing Cao Yilan to scream in the sedan chair.
"What a shrew! I want to tell you that my brother-in-law sent someone to pick you up in Zhangjiacun, but you are wandering around the capital so leisurely. What does it mean?"
The Cao family sent someone to pick her up, and they had indeed notified her in advance, but Cao Yi said she would go "later". Isn't it too late now?
Xin Yi thought she was a crow, and without looking back, he took the child out of the city from Dongshui Gate and returned to the village.
As expected, the Cao family's carriage was waiting at home, attracting a lot of attention from the village.
Especially the Mrs. Liu next door who was dying due to a big neck disease. She was so angry as she watched Xin Yi drag her child to live a better life day by day. Even the Grand Cao Mansion sent a carriage to invite her for consultation.
She was trembling and her handkerchief was almost torn, but she could only take out her eldest daughter-in-law to get angry.
Xin Yi settled the child and got on the carriage.
When the car passed by the official road behind Zhang's wing, she heard her sister-in-law Gong crying in the house, depressed and desperate. Zhang Dalang sighed, but did not comfort her.
Xin Yi shook his head, leaned back on the soft cushion, and closed his eyes.
She is half the creator of the game "Bianjing Fu", but not the savior.
She can't help a woman who doesn't want to resist her fate.
…
Cao Yi and his long entourage Zheng Liu were waiting outside the gate of the Duke's Mansion in person.
A bright red lantern hangs high on the lintel. The paint has just been painted, and the brand-new vermilion gloss is visible. The bright brass door knocker makes it look rich and noble.
Mr. Cao is dressed in casual clothes, with a sapphire crown and a satin robe. He has a good appearance, dark eyebrows and starry eyes, and a soft smile on his face. He is embedded in the falling smoke at dusk. His metal and jade quality is unparalleled. He almost fainted Xin Yi.
eyes.
The planning is guilty, but the art is invincible.
Although "Bianjing Fu" has 10,000 points that people can't help complaining about, it is a great achievement that they can create such stunning figures as Fu Jiuqu and Cao Yi.
"Ms. Zhang, please come this way."
Cao Yi was very polite and welcomed Xin Yi into the mansion through a corner door on the side.
The last time I visited, Xin Yi was familiar with the roads and followed Cao Yi to the Mulberry Picking Garden.
The two had a great conversation that day, and they didn't look unfamiliar when they met again. The servants were all walking behind them knowingly, so Xin Yi didn't have any worries about what he said.
Cao Yi asked her about the shipwreck, and Xin Yi told her to keep half of it, saying that she was unlucky and was just catching a fish. In the end, she almost ended up in the Imperial City Prison, and found so many rotten corpses that she vomited out her meal the night before.
In front of acquaintances, she doesn't restrain herself, and her words are humorous.
