Xianyu Infrastructure, I have a lot of troops in my hands
Chapter 4 On the road
Xie Xian was less than a hundred meters away when she heard the sound of horse hooves from behind. Tu Zhen moved the ox cart aside, but she didn't expect that several people would block the way.
Five big men were blocking the road, but no one in the car was panicking. The thin man watched Tu Zhen reaching out to grab something from the car, and he winked at the man with the mustache.
The man with a small moustache looked helpless and said, "Madam Xie, I have no intention of offending you. It's just that Dalang from the Jin family has something to ask of me." He had felt that Tu Zhen was quite skilled in martial arts, and it was not worth it to start a conflict over such a small matter.
Xie Xian's cold voice came from across the carriage: "Oh!" Several people looked at each other. It seemed that Madam Xie really didn't intend to care anymore.
Jin Dalang slid off the horse and stood in front of the ox cart with an expression of anger and helplessness changing back and forth several times on his face. Finally, he calmed down and bowed to the carriage: "It is Mingrui who is rude. Please help her for Xiaocao'er's sake. She is weak and has just caught a cold. If she doesn't get better, it's not her fault." He was worried because he knew that some nobles were very superstitious about patients.
The curtain of the carriage was lifted, and the green gauze only reached the chin. I could only see the cherry-red lips curled up to one side. "What's the benefit?"
“........” The air suddenly became quiet for a moment.
The five people opposite had frozen expressions on their faces. In their opinion, the young master of the Jin family had already given a great gift, so they should lend a hand for the sake of the Jin family.
As a result, this lady from the Xie family was too pragmatic. Jin Dalang suddenly felt that it was very difficult to straighten his back. He was abandoned by his father and was alone. He had nothing except the title of the eldest son.
The yellow leaves fell on the boy's shoulders with the wind, and his skin looked even paler against the red and yellow. Yes, why?
"This woman is so unkind. She's just a little girl who got on your car for a ride. Why do you want money for this when the Xie family is so poor?" The round-faced soldier at the back couldn't stand it and muttered.
Qing Dai glanced at Xie Xian and whispered, "This Jin Dalang's father is the governor of Pingcheng Prefecture."
"Oh?" Then Xie Xian looked at him carefully from top to bottom as if she had discovered something rare. This guy was in such a miserable state.
Jin Mingrui was in such a state of disgrace that he wished he could cover his face and leave. His lips trembled slightly as he felt grief-stricken. He stared at the ground, wondering how there could be such a cruel woman.
Oh, this makes me angry.
The slender jade fingers tapped the box board, and the dark black wood surface was faintly shiny. The moist lips curved again. "It's meaningless." After saying this, he put down the plain satin curtain in front of him.
The man with a small mustache pulled the reins and laughed, "This woman is quite insightful." He had met countless people, and this Jin Dalang was really not worthy of the position, and he would be in trouble sooner or later.
"Boss, why don't I understand?" The round-faced soldier touched his head.
"I was too reckless. I have nothing to begin with, so how can I afford the reward Madam Xie wants?" Jin Mingrui felt hopeless and sat on the ground with his legs going limp.
The mustache man didn't care at all. He lazily loosened the reins. This young master Jin didn't even look like he was begging for help. He was unwilling to do it. The Jin family could be arrogant only when they had the strength to support it. But what good could they get from this bald eldest son now? Otherwise, they couldn't be so neglectful to the few soldiers who followed him.
"This young man from the Jin family is quite handsome," Tu Zhen, who was sitting next to her, suddenly interrupted. She did not forget that she was also desperate and was pissed off by Xie Xian.
Seeing Jin Mingrui's body stiffened for a moment, he was only fourteen years old last year, and although his head was small, he was about to have his coming-of-age ceremony. Seeing the situation develop in a strange direction.
Xie Xian lowered her head and covered her lips. This Tu Zhen was a very reserved person and actually used these words to bully her.
The people on the horse were all stunned. They didn't expect that the powerful one was here. The round-faced man even winked at the thin man. "Not bad!" The mustache man shook his shoulders. Well, he had to hold back because they were here to do serious business.
Jin Dalang suddenly stood up and took two steps back, his chest heaving violently. He felt so humiliated, but his mind was thinking about the bright lips under the hat. His face changed several times. He didn't know what he was thinking about, but his shame and anger became even worse. It was just as the teacher said, few of the girls from these wealthy families were good.
But he closed his eyes and thought, he had nothing, so why bother about it.
The mustache looked at the fish skin dagger in Tu Zhen's hand, then glanced at Jin Dalang, thinking that this might not be a way out for the Jin family.
The thin man squinted at the few people who were still laughing and pretended to scold them, "Shut up, Jin Dalang's future may come." He emphasized the word "future" very much. Everyone thought that although the Jin family was a high-ranking family, it was nothing compared to the Xie family, which had lasted for a hundred years.
Jin Mingrui walked forward with difficulty with a pale face and whispered: "As long as it can save Cao'er, just follow my orders."
Xie Xian "........."
Where is the moral integrity that my stinky brother promised? This is it…
You said your stubbornness couldn't beat my hard-heartedness. Then you showed me this. And the people watching the show over there, their mockery was not good enough! Disappointment JPG.
Qingdai looked back at Xie Xian and found that the lady was staring blankly outside the bamboo curtain. In the distance was Jin Mingrui's handsome little face. She looked back and forth twice.
Ahem! It seems that what Sister Zhen said is not without reason. As the only maid beside the lady, I have to think what the master wants and worry about what the master worries about. Although Sister Zhen got there first this time, I will definitely work hard.
When Xie Xian came to her senses, the ox cart had already started moving. She looked at the little girl on the cart and Jin Mingrui sitting beside the shaft in confusion.
No, I didn’t agree just now. Has your logic been eaten by dogs?
Looking at Xiaocao'er's flushed face, Xie Xian frowned and retreated to the inner room, remembering not to pee in the car.
Jin Mingrui, who was standing at the door, saw this scene clearly. He lowered his eyes and pursed his lips without saying anything, but his face became even more pale.
Ever since Jin Dalang got on the bus, the attitudes of Xiao Huzi and the others became noticeably more relaxed, and they all had smiles on their faces while talking.
Several soldiers followed slowly behind. Now they could get rid of this burden when they got to the city. They didn't expect that the healthy young lady would have so much fun.
Listening to the laughter coming from the back of the car, Xie Xian held her forehead and leaned over to look at the little girl, who was blushing and humming non-stop. She frowned and said, "Wipe the body with warm water, the forehead, palms, soles of the feet, and use the middle two fingers to wipe the ulnar side, wrist to elbow."
Seeing Qingdai looking over, he stretched out his hand and demonstrated twice. He then said, "One hundred times on each side will do." After all, when he was a corporate slave, he was assigned to be a kindergarten assistant teacher during his internship, and he had seen all kinds of naughty children.
It was this experience that made her stay away from all cubs. God knows how much psychological trauma Zi Han's mother has brought to people. Although this other world does not cherish children as much as modern times, it would be hard not to be jealous if things go wrong. As someone who hates trouble the most, Xie Xian had no choice but to take action.
Children's fever comes and goes quickly. In order to reassure the parents, most teachers in charge of the class know a thing or two. It's not an easy job, Cat sighs.
The girl's voice was steady and powerful. Jin Mingrui's eyes lit up. He stared at Qingdai's movements and said softly, "I'll come too."
"My wife's fever has really subsided," Qingdai's surprised voice came from far away. Xie Xian thought to herself, what do you mean my fever has subsided? I don't have a fever.
Xie Xian didn't want to have too much contact with passers-by. She knew her own business. It was not easy for her to help one or two people in this world. How could she help everyone in the world? Clay Buddha Xian thought so.
He felt a little sleepy after eating. "Watch his diaper. Don't feed him fish soup. Give him some rice porridge." He turned his back and leaned lazily.
The people following the car heard that the girl's high fever had subsided, and it was the Xie family's daughter who took action. Thinking of the girl's loud words just now, they were in awe. It turned out that she was from a noble family with a deep foundation and even understood the medical skills.
There was a dilapidated temple on the hillside not far away. It was getting dark. Xie Xian looked up at the fiery clouds in the sky. She called for a stop: "We will stay in the temple tonight. Park the oxcart inside."
Everyone looked at the setting sun in the sky, somewhat confused.
"Young lady, there is an inn at the foot of the mountain where you can rest. It will be there in another half an hour."
The man with a small mustache said loudly that he had run this road several times. Although the inn by the river ahead was not very good, at least there was a place to stay and food to drink, which was not as comfortable as this dilapidated temple.
Just now they all went to see Xiaocaoer, and the girl's fever had subsided.
Moreover, Xie Xian did not keep the fever-reducing method to herself, and asked Qingdai to teach them generously. His mind changed greatly towards the wife of the Xie family, after all, every family has old and young!
So I became more active in helping out.
"You guys can go to the inn by yourselves, I'll rest here." She looked at the little sparrows flying close to the grass tips, and was afraid that it would rain before nightfall.
The man with a mustache raised his eyes to look at the gloomy dark clouds in the sky and said nothing.
He whispered to the thin man, "It's probably not safe for the young lady to be alone in this dilapidated temple with her ox cart, so the brothers will bear with it."
The round-faced man chuckled: "Boss, there's nothing to be wronged about. We have a lot to thank the young lady for!" The men thanked her, tied up the horses and came over to help.
As soon as a few people parked the carriage, heavy rain fell from the sky.
The man with a small mustache stood by the door, looking at the other side of the dilapidated temple where rain was leaking, and smacked his lips secretly.
The rain poured down from the top onto the clear gray stone pagoda, splashing a layer of white mist, making the stone temple look even more heavy.
This is the mountain god temple in the countryside in the early years. It has experienced wars, changes of dynasties, and has been the spiritual sustenance of the common people in difficult times. Fortunately, this temple is built of stone, but seeing that it has been in disrepair for many years, few people worship it.
Xie Xian looked at the stone tower with awe, while several soldiers were thankful that they did not go to the foot shop by the river, otherwise they would have been soaked to the skin.
After lighting a bonfire, Qingdai was busy setting up a pot and heating up the fish soup in the clay pot to share with several people.
Only when they got closer did they realize that there was something hidden inside the ox cart. There was a sliding door at the back of the side compartment, which could be opened to reveal all the tools needed for cooking. They became even more curious.
They had long wondered why a noble lady from any clan would be followed by several carts carrying gifts when she went out, but they had never expected that the ox carts were equipped with mechanisms.
Seeing their eyes glued to the car, Qing Dai cursed them in her heart, but she forgot her stunned expression when Xie Xian asked her to pick up something for the first time.
