Hearing the village chief's question, Fourth Master and Jin Yao looked at each other and decided to use the set of words that they made up on the road just now.

"My wife and I are in business. We brought goods and were stranded in Tongcheng due to the flood. We originally wanted to take advantage of the good weather today and hurry back. We didn't want to meet bad people on the way. The goods were robbed, and our husband and wife managed to escape by diving."

The village chief saw that although the two were in a mess, the material they were wearing was very good, so he believed it half or so.

Fourth Master continued:

"I happened to be in Guicun after escaping. May I ask what kind of village Guicun is and which county it is under?"

"We are Zhoujia Village, which belongs to Jinhua County."

Fourth Master thought about the location of Jinhua County, it didn't seem like a very big county.

"My wife and I want to temporarily settle down in Guicun for a few days. When the servants who are separated from me are found, we will be very grateful!"

The village chief stroked his beard:

"It's not impossible to stay for a few days, it's just that we country people live a hard life, I'm afraid the two of you are not used to living here." Since you are a businessman, you don't need to be called a nobleman.

Fourth Master's hand that was used to touching his purse froze.

Jin Yao chuckled lightly, took out a gold ring inlaid with crimson stone from her purse and put it on the coffee table:

"This counts as the food and tea money for these few days."

The fourth master was stunned when he saw Jinyao take out the gold ring from his wet purse, gave Jinyao a weird look and didn't speak.

The village chief's eyes straightened when he saw it.

People in their village usually use copper plates, and even silver is rare, let alone gold. This gold ring is made of pure gold, and it is inlaid with precious stones. How much silver is it worth?

The village head's wife was afraid that the village head would refuse, so she poked him on the shoulder, smiled flatteringly at Jin Yao, and took it back in fear that she would be dissatisfied.

The village chief struggled to look away from the golden ring:

"It's not worth borrowing for a few days. When it's inconvenient for everyone, you don't need this. Put it away!"

The village chief's wife glared at him bitterly:

"Don't you even look at who this master and wife are? How can they just live in our house full of dirt and eat chaff mixed with vegetables? Can't you clean up more carefully and buy some white rice and fine noodles? You have money to go Buy? Also, my wife’s sleeves are all red, she’s obviously injured, why don’t you ask a doctor to take a look?”

Jin Yao said gratefully:

"This sister-in-law is right. The village head is really blessed. To be able to marry such a smart and virtuous daughter-in-law, this thing is nothing. Just like what the sister-in-law said, I really need to prepare something, and I have to trouble the village head!"

"It's easy to say, easy to say, don't worry, I asked my eldest son and second son to go to the town to buy some food, but now the disaster is serious outside, the price of food has increased a lot, and many fine ones are not easy to buy, but clean bedding is at home. There is, it was originally intended to be used by the elder and younger son to get married, if the wife doesn't mind it, she can use it."

The village chief's wife is a neat person, she kept her hands on her lips while she was talking, she showed Jinyao the neatly folded quilt wrapped in a bundle.

Jinyao took a look, obviously she wasn't lying, it was indeed new, so she was naturally very satisfied.

This is her hobby, she is not used to using other people's used bedding, and she is not too picky about other food.

"If you live, where do you live?" The village chief's wife hoped that they could live in her house, so that they could earn more money, but seeing Jinyao, they are a young couple, and there are two young men in his house. would not live here.

Fourth master looked at the village head and said sincerely:

"Also ask the village head to help find an empty house to stay temporarily."

"Okay, come with me! Boss, second child, you go to the town to buy some things, see what your mother wants to buy, and then invite the shopkeeper of the pharmacy."

"Eh!"

Two young men with similar facial features responded and ran out.

An empty house without people in it is naturally dusty inside.

Fortunately, the power of gold is so strong that the village chief's wife called some sisters-in-law in the neighborhood, took tools over there, and cleaned it up in a few strokes.

If Jinyao and Fourth Master were to come here, they might have to live in a dirty house.

Jinyao was very grateful to this enthusiastic and greedy wife of the village head.

It's a pity that most of the jewelry accessories on her body were washed away after falling into the water, and it's rare that the purse was so complicated that it didn't fall off.

After the temporary residence was tidied up, the village chief's wife helped boil hot water, and borrowed her and the village chief's old clothes to change and wash for Jin Yao and the others.

After soaking in hot water, Jinyao felt the slightest pain.

Fourth Master was washing on the other side, and felt very distressed when he heard it:

"Does it hurt? How about I wash it for you first?"

"Hiss? No need, wash it quickly and you will suffer less!"

After drinking the hot ginger soup and taking a hot bath, Jin Yao's discomfort disappeared a lot.

It just so happened that the doctor in charge of the pharmacy was also invited, and there was no need to avoid suspicion at this time. Fortunately, the other party was an old man in his sixties, and there was no need to avoid suspicion at this age in this era.

After looking at Jinyao's arm, the doctor applied a special plaster on her, sprinkled red wound medicine powder on her, and wrapped it in fine gauze.

"The medicine is changed once a day, and it should not be wet. When changing the medicine, the plaster must be applied first, and then the powder should be sprinkled. Then, it must be wrapped with gauze, otherwise the wound may not heal."

"Write it down, is there anything else?" Fourth Master asked.

"My wife has also suffered some internal shocks. The medicine I prescribed contains blood circulation promoting and blood stasis dispelling. The dosage is not large, but if the arm wound continues to bleed, then the medicine can no longer be taken!"

"Yes, is there anything else I need to pay attention to?"

The doctor was satisfied with the attitude of the patient's family and nodded:

"Also pay attention to observe to see if she will have a fever tonight. If she has a fever... Go to my shop early tomorrow morning, and I will give you another medicine. Today's medicine also has fever control, but the amount is not large."

"Okay, thank you for your hard work, doctor!"

The old doctor shook his head: "Take care of the patients!"

Fourth Master touched his purse habitually, wanting to give a reward, but it was empty again.

Jin Yao suppressed a smile:

"I should still have golden melon seeds in my purse."

The doctor waved:

"No need, the consultation fee has already been paid for!"

"I'll have to trouble the doctor in the future, it's an advance payment!" There was no reason to take back the things that the fourth master took out.

The old husband accepted the golden melon seeds, thanked him and left.

The village chief's wife was very enthusiastic, and took the medicine to help her go home and fry it.

Fourth master looked at the village head:

"It's not a problem to bother my sister-in-law all the time. I don't know if the village head may introduce a quick-witted one to help cook and take care of her."

He took out the remaining two golden melon seeds from his purse and handed them to the village chief.

The village chief waved his hand: "I'll only serve you for a few days, so I won't be able to use this much. Take it back quickly, and you have to keep some around!"

Fourth Master's expression softened. The village chief was a nice person, but he was even more unwilling to let others suffer, so he gave it to him.

"The village chief only introduces someone who is clean and quick, and someone who is good at cooking!"

Seeing how generous the fourth master and his wife were, the village head finally believed that they were businessmen.

Only big businessmen have a lot of money in their hands and are generous.

When I went back and told her mother-in-law, his mother-in-law was startled:

"Why do you still need someone? But you don't think I'm good at serving you?"

"It's embarrassing to push you, but you are also the village chief's wife!"

The village chief's daughter-in-law pursed her lips a little proudly, but also a little distressed:

"How much does it cost to hire people? I still want to do more and earn more, so that I can say a wife to the second boy!"

"Don't worry, he's a generous person. He didn't want to take back the gold ring he gave. This time, he gave me two more golden beans, asking for help."

"Anything else? Amitabha, I really met a generous master, so I have to help people find a capable one, let alone someone who cheats others."

"It's up to you to think about who to invite."

Thinking of not being able to earn two golden beans, the village head's wife felt a little distressed, and suddenly patted her thigh with joy:

"Yes, isn't the mother-in-law just right?"

The village head thought for a while and nodded:

"Indeed, she is a widow, and she should have been taken care of more. Besides, she is our future in-laws, so it is not cheap for outsiders. Go and tell her. By the way, only let her take care of her. The eldest daughter-in-law who has not passed the family should not be taken care of." went!"

The village head's wife gave him a blank look:

"Xiaoyun is not the kind of person with shallow eyelids! It's okay, I get it."

The outsiders had all left, only Jin Yao and Fourth Master were left, so they had time to breathe a sigh of relief.

Fourth master stared at Jinyao fixedly, and remained silent for a while.

Jinyao felt uncomfortable being watched by him:

"Why are you looking at me like this, don't you recognize me? Or have you become ugly?" After soaking in the water for so long, she just washed it in a hurry, without essential oils or aromatherapy, she was not used to it.

"My Jin'er is always the most beautiful!" Fourth Master said seriously.

Jinyao couldn't help laughing, she likes this kind of truth.

Fourth master also laughed.

"Have you noticed that this is the first time the two of us have been alone together in a real sense? There are always people around us."

Jinyao thinks about it, it's not true, usually either the children are there or the girls are there, it seems that she rarely spends alone, except when she is sleeping.

This thought suddenly felt a little sad.

"The banknotes you carry with you are all spoiled, thanks to Jin'er's purse. By the way, I haven't asked you yet, why do you still have these things in your purse?" Fourth Master changed the subject.

Jinyao put away her inexplicable astringency, and proudly said:

"Yeah, you know it's easy to use, right? Tell you, I can still make a few silver coins all over my body, believe it or not?" The gold melon seeds and rings in the purse are for the convenience of tipping.

Usually, she is accompanied by a girl, and the reward for ordinary silver taels is given by the girl. It doesn’t look good if she only rewards one tael or two taels of silver, isn’t it? Gold, good-looking and affordable, is not used today.

The fourth master looked at her. Right now, both of them were wearing the coarse clothes of the village head and his wife. Jinyao didn't see any jewelry on her body, even the earrings were lost.

"Did you mean your bracelet?"

"Of course this bracelet cannot be exchanged for silver. It was rewarded by the Queen Mother, and besides, I like it very much!"

"Then I didn't see you have anything else!"

Jin Yao shook her head mysteriously, and hooked her fingers at him.

Fourth Master moved over cooperatively.

"My wet clothes were not washed by the village chief's wife, why do you think?"

Fourth Master got up and shook off her wet clothes. Apart from the good material, nothing could be seen.

Jin Yao shook her head, she could only understand this kind of straight man by telling him directly.

"Do you see if there are hidden buttons in my clothes? And see if there are gemstones on the skirt?"

Fourth master turned around, isn't it, there is a hidden button in the clothes on the chest, and the hidden button is a pearl the size of a fingernail?

The fourth master was speechless:

"My lord finally understands why those officials want to be greedy. How can they afford such an exquisite woman if they are not greedy!" There are so many famous clothes in an unremarkable outfit. Isn't the many clothes in the house worthless?

Jin Yao rolled his eyes at him:

"Not all women understand the joys of life so well. Besides, you have to have a tasteful mother to cultivate them from an early age. Are you everyone's mother like mine?"

"You're right, madam is capable!"

Just kidding, the two of them are serious.

"Do you think those people will chase after them into the village?" Jinyao was a little worried, fearing that the village would be affected.
