Husband-in-Law: Reborn Peasant Girl Busy Farming

Chai Jin's face was tense at first, and he smiled apologetically after hearing Ke Ran's words. His resolute facial lines were much more vivid, and he scratched the back of his head and said, "I'm sorry, I ran away recently, and it took me a while to come back."

Ke Ran raised her chin, and all she recalled in her mind was the scene of Xue Tang and his wife showing their affection in front of her just now, and the voice was sour when they spoke half coquettishly and half disdainfully.

"It's fine if you're busy with serious business, but if you get caught by some girl, I can't forgive you."

Chai Jin immediately relented, and the two of them bickered sentence by sentence like children playing games.

"It's a serious matter," Chai Jin's relaxed expression faded, "I met Master Zhao's messenger on the road, and I heard that it was a messenger to Yuedong, so I helped to bring it back."

After that, he reached into his chest, groped for a while, and took out a bulging envelope.

Xue Lince still held the embroidery needle in his hand, and looked at Tang Luoyu in confusion. Zhao Yuanyan rarely sent two letters in a row. The last time was to talk about family matters and praise his poems. This time it will not be another greeting Home letter?

Looking at the envelope again, some places in it were bulging, as if a few small stones had been stuffed in it, and the curiosity of several people was immediately aroused.

"Strange," Ke Ran spoke first, and picked up the unopened envelope and put it on his nose for a sniff, "It seems to have put a few dates in it."

The remaining three people exchanged puzzled looks, and finally Xue Lince took it apart. As soon as the opening was opened, several round things rolled out of it and fell onto the table. Looking carefully, there were really several Fresh dates.

"Master Zhao sent some jujubes all the way for no reason?" Chai Jin said loudly, puzzled, "It's not like we don't have jujube trees here."

This time it was finally Ke Ran's turn to flick his forehead, "You don't understand that, jujube is good for the body, nourishing the stomach, nourishing the blood and calming the nerves. It must be that Master Zhao knew that we had a hard time in Yuedong. I sent you a special letter to remind us.”

He was half right, but he didn't understand what Zhao Yuanyan meant.

Xue Tang and his wife had already spread out the letter paper and read it carefully, and Ke Ran hurriedly put his head on it. It turned out that someone recently sent someone to Zhao Yuanyan's hometown to deliver dates from door to door, and they all claimed that they were quack doctors who had traveled all over the world. Jujubes are used to cure diseases and relieve disasters, and to accumulate virtue.

Zhao Yuanyan was surprised, so he specially wrote a letter to inform him of the matter, and sent two of the distributed jujubes by the way.

Ke Ran finished reading the letter, wrapped one of the dates in a handkerchief, and looked at the sun for a long time, but found nothing unusual.

The peel is round and transparent, without any pits, which means it is very fresh, the stalk is still preserved, and the color has not turned black, which means that there is no possibility of long-term soaking with drugs, and the taste is not unusual. When you pinch the skin, the pulp is normal. light green.

He put a little bit on his lips and sipped it carefully, but he didn't taste the poisonous taste.

Strange, is it really just an ordinary jujube?

"Ke Ran," Chai Jin couldn't see anything unusual, so he poked the people around him twice with his elbow, "Do you quacks who have traveled all over the world like to distribute dates and pears to accumulate merit?"

When Ke Ran heard about "accumulating merit", she rolled her eyes and retorted: "Huh, this is called hanging pots to help the world. The benevolence of doctors is not just merits. I have done it before distributing medicinal materials, but The strange thing is that we have always distributed dried angelica, turmeric and other things, but I have never heard of anyone giving fresh dates."

Chai Jin squeezed his chin with green stubble and nodded, "I always feel that there is something that doesn't make sense, but I can't figure it out for a while."

Tang Luoyu looked at the few jujubes wrapped in the handkerchief, shining brightly under the sun, and his heart moved, "Maybe there are jujube trees near the doctor?"

Ke Ran was even more disdainful, "Then this is no different from borrowing flowers to offer Buddha. Since there are jujube trees nearby, why don't you call on everyone to pick them by yourself? If you really go there with a hanging pot to help the world, it should be to give some medicinal value more than food value Something is right."

Several people analyzed and still couldn't find any useful clues, so they had to put the matter on hold temporarily. Naturally, no one dared to eat these dates. Ke Ran and Chai Jin wrapped them up and took them back to the room, and studied them for a few more days until then. The jujubes have lost most of their moisture and become shriveled and wrinkled, still no conclusions can be drawn.

Everyone became more and more confused, and when they were about to put the matter on the shelf, they suddenly heard Lianzhi report that a group of charlatans came to Yuedong recently.

Everyone was startled, and hurriedly asked whether these people were distributing dates from door to door.

Lian Zhi was taken aback for a moment, and then said with a smile: "You all really have a clever plan, and you know that the doctors are distributing fresh dates before you even meet them."

Ke Ran suddenly became excited, grabbed Chai Jin's sleeve with one hand, and patted Tang Luoyu's shoulder with the other, "It must be that group of people! I didn't expect them to come to Yuedong!"

Everyone was only concerned about excitement, but Xue Lince was the first to grasp the point, "Where are they now?"

Lianzhi was stunned for a moment, his face flushed with embarrassment, "I left earlier, they came in a hurry and left quickly, I thought it was not a big deal, if I knew the adults would see each other earlier, I would have left them behind of."

The four of them looked at each other, and they were all a bit disappointed. Tang Luoyu took a little luck and stepped forward and asked, "How long have they been away? Did they walk or ride a horse?"

Lian Zhi didn't know why several people were so persistent in meeting that group of people, and suddenly felt more uneasy, but he also said honestly: "Some people are walking, some are riding horses, and some are even taking boats, so I probably won't be able to catch up with them now." , I’ve been walking for half a day, and I don’t know which direction to go.”

Alas, such a good clue was missed, the four of them felt a little lonely, they all sat down at the table, and Lianzhi hurriedly found an excuse to slip away.

In the afternoon, the people of Yuedong began to spread a new legend, saying that today, the gods in the sky came down to the world to send jujube, which has the effect of curing all diseases and strengthening the body.

The words quickly spread to the ears of the four, and Ke Ran took out the jujubes that were wrapped in the handkerchief and spread them out on the table.

The round peel has faded, like the skin of an old man, withered and vicissitudes, but there is still no sign of blackening or redness, and it is really not like a product soaked in medicine.

The four of them sat together, either with their chins resting on their hands or with their hands folded in front of their chests, but they couldn't do anything with this small date.

In the silence, Chai Jin suddenly slapped his head and suddenly thought of something, everyone's eyes fell on him like a spotlight, and they widened their eyes in surprise and asked: "But what clue did you think of?"
