The little man is born to make money
Chapter 27 Getting along
Xie Jinyu had doubts in her heart, Lin Qi clearly told herself that he was the master of Treading Snow, why did he suddenly become the son of Prince An and was the master of Treading Snow?
Lin Qi and Prince An are cousins. Xie Jinyu also knew from their usual relationship that the relationship between the two was very good. It was impossible for Lin Qi to deliberately deceive himself by using Prince An's things, and he was not such a person at all. So what's the matter?
Xie Jinyu had a faint idea in his heart, but he was so short of a flash of inspiration that he couldn't find any thoughts.
Xie Jinyu raised his head and glanced at the place where the servants were, and silently wrote down a few of them, thinking that when he finished his business, he would definitely ask him what was going on!
From the bottom of his heart, he didn't want to believe and admit that Lin Qi would deceive him!
Xie Jinyu hurriedly went to the front yard, and met several officers and guards who were on duty today, with a bright smile on his face, "Brothers, please stay!"
"What's the matter with this young master?" The leading soldier frowned, but stopped politely and looked at Xie Jinyu.Although they didn't know Xie Jinyu's identity, but this son was brought by the Shizi, they respected him somewhat.
"My lord, I have something I want to ask some of you." Xie Jinyu smiled.
The soldier was stunned for a moment, wondering what Xie Jinyu wanted to know from him. They were just the guards of this other courtyard. They had neither official positions nor background backing. A master like Xie Jinyu would not look at them with a straight eye. , Why would you suddenly ask them about something?
The soldier kept an eye out on the spot, straightened his body, his face became serious, and asked with a straight face, "What do you want to inquire about, I will not reveal anything about the son of the world."
What does this have to do with Shizi?
A trace of doubt flashed in Xie Jinyu's eyes, and then he thought about it, this is King An's other courtyard, and the Shi Ziye is also the owner of this place, presumably these officials regarded him as the kind of person who climbed the throne and thought they wanted to inquire about it. Shi Ziye's preference!
"No, the official misunderstood!" Xie Jinyu pursed her lips and smiled softly, and said softly, "I want to ask everyone, on the racecourse today, I saw a young man dressed as a scholar who was also picking up horse dung on his back. I'm curious, so I came here to ask one or two."
"A young man dressed as a scholar?" The soldier thought about it for a while, suddenly realized, and gestured to his height, "Is the scholar you mentioned about my height, thin and thin, with a fair face, and looks very handsome?" Looks weak?"
"That's right, that's right, it's this scholar. Does the military master know who it is? I see that he is cleanly dressed and has a bookish spirit. He doesn't look like an ordinary citizen. How could he pick up horses here? Shit?" Xie Jinyu's eyeballs moved, but he didn't directly say Xu Yucheng's name, he didn't want people to suspect that he had any relationship with Xu Yucheng.
"The scholar you mentioned is a scholar! His surname is Xu and his name is Xiucheng. He is from Jiangning City. He was only a weak crown, so he was selected as a scholar early. He is a well-known talent in a radius of ten miles!" The soldier As soon as the master heard that he was not inquiring about the son of the world, he immediately got excited, especially the person Xie Jinyu inquired about, they still had a good impression, and they quickly talked about it.
"Then Xu Xiucai's family was poor, and his father died early when he was young. It was all relying on the old mother at home to manage, so he reluctantly sent him to school to study and read. Ten years later, he passed the examination of a scholar, and his future is limitless! However, he is also considered lonely. Seeing that the better days are coming, the old mother at home is seriously ill. Xu Xiucai has no money to see the doctor for the old mother. Go up the mountain every day to pick up horse dung and earn some wages!"
"That's right, besides collecting horse dung for us to make money, he also often goes up the mountain to collect firewood and sell it for money. By the way, Xu Xiucai has also read a lot of medical books and knows a lot about the herbs on the mountain. He often goes up the mountain to collect herbs and sell them for money." Another official added.
"However, I don't think his old mother can survive for long. I heard from the old doctor in the town that Xu Xiucai's mother might not survive this year if there is no century-old ginseng." Master Jun shook his head, regretfully saying, "If his mother dies, Xu Xiucai will have to observe filial piety for three years, and he will definitely miss this year's autumn!"
The rest of the military masters shook their heads, feeling very sorry.Xu Xiucai is such a filial person, how could his life be so miserable.
"You said that he often works on the mountain just to make money to treat his mother?" Xie Jinyu showed a trace of doubt on his face, and there was a little disbelief in his eyes. A selfish person like Xu Yucheng would go to the mountain for his mother's illness. Picking up horse manure?This is simply the greatest joke in the world!
"That's right, this is something that is known to all villages far and near. Xu Xiucai is really filial, and his character is really nothing to say!" Jun Ye compared a thumb, eyes full of admiration.
Xie Jinyu took a step back, her face pale.How is this possible, Xu Yucheng is obviously selfish and cruel, how can he have such filial piety and perseverance?Obviously, Xu's mother in the previous life was so mad at him. In this life, Xu Yucheng has become so filial?
Xie Jinyu couldn't believe it, but the words of these military masters didn't seem to be deceiving him, so what's going on?
Xie Jinyu returned to her residence in a daze, closed the door silently, and lowered her head in thought.
It is certain that the Xu Yucheng he saw today is indeed Xu Yucheng, but is there still a question mark about Xu Yucheng from his previous life?Xie Jinyu took out the pen, ink, paper and inkstone from the desk, ground them carefully, recalled the bits and pieces of her previous life, and began to compare the differences between the two Xu Yucheng bit by bit.
Xie Jinyu clearly remembered that Xu Yucheng in his previous life paid great attention to face, and would never allow anything that insulted his dignity to happen. Even if he did something wrong, he must not be corrected directly, because in his opinion, this is You're hitting him in the face, you're insulting him.
It can be seen from this that Xu Yucheng has carved vanity into his bones, and has a kind of morbid pride.Such a person, but in the mouths of these officials in this life, he is synonymous with filial piety, kindness, and sincerity, which in itself does not conform to common sense.Even if he was good at disguising, Xie Jinyu didn't believe that a man who usually put his thoughts on his face would condescend to pick up horse manure, which would make him more uncomfortable than killing him!
But something outrageous really happened. Xu Yucheng was actually picking up horse manure in Beishan, and according to the words of these military masters, Xu Yucheng had been picking up horse manure for half a year. If it was just to attract the attention of King An or Prince An's son , then his forbearance ability is too terrifying.
Xie Jinyu didn't believe that Xu Yucheng had such forbearance skills. In his previous life, Xu Yucheng was irritable and irritable, with all his joy, anger, sorrow and joy on his face. It was impossible to start a new life. Nothing changed, so Xu Yucheng changed into another person!There must be something else in this that he doesn't know.
Xie Jinyu thought back secretly, and finally noticed something unusual.The soldiers all said that Xu Yucheng was kind and filial, he did everything for his old mother himself, he was a filial son!
In fact, Xie Jinyu also clearly remembers that in the previous life, the Xie family recruited a son-in-law. It stands to reason that Xu Yucheng's conditions would make it impossible for him to come to the Xie family to be a son-in-law. For a scholar like him, being a son-in-law almost stains his identity, and it is difficult to be treated equally in the officialdom, but even so, Xu Yucheng from his previous life still came here for the hundred-year-old ginseng. Participated in the Xie family's son-in-law recruitment and became his fiancé.
At that time, father Xie was afraid that Xu Yucheng might have some bad intentions, so he sent someone to secretly inquire about Xu Yucheng's past.After all, under the circumstances at that time, the Xie family had fallen into decline. Logically speaking, Xu Yucheng was a scholar, or a scholar who had already entered high school at a young age. Judging from the situation of the Xie family at that time, Xie Jinyu was definitely the one who was the most admired by Xie Jinyu. .
The results of Xie's father's investigation also clearly showed that Xu Yucheng was not only outstanding in knowledge and literary talent, but also simple and filial, gentle and polite to others, even if he was selected as a scholar, the neighbors praised him a lot and were very satisfied with him.
Xie Jinyu and Father Xie were very satisfied with such an almost perfect scholar from a poor family, thinking that this was a good marriage destined by nature.But unexpectedly, after marriage, Xu Yucheng seemed to be a different person. Those beautiful qualities in the investigation results were like an exquisite disguise, deceiving everyone around.
However, can someone really hide for 20 years without being discovered?
When Xie's father investigated, he not only asked Xu Yucheng's classmates and friends, his teacher's uncle, but also the seven aunts and eight aunts in the same village. This person doesn't have any major problems, except that he is a bit stubborn, shy, and physically weak, there are almost no other major problems related to character!
If it is said that his relatives and friends have concealed something, but those neighbors in the same village who like to talk badly can't also deceive Father Xie, right?No matter how bad it is, there are still some people he doesn't deal with, some are gangsters in the village, and some are competitors in the school. Except for some non-existent things, there is really no other bad thing. This is a A young man who introspects himself three times a day and flaunts the etiquette of a gentleman in everything.
Xie Jinyu remembered very clearly that when Xu Yucheng approached Xie's father, he told Xie's father very solemnly that the reason he was willing to join Xie's family was because Xie Jinyu's dowry contained a century-old ginseng tree, and he voluntarily joined Xie's family in order to treat his mother's illness!
Xie Jinyu was grateful for his kindness and filial piety, so he asked his father to bring a message. He was willing to donate the century-old ginseng tree to Xu Yucheng for free, so that he could save his mother.
But Xu Yucheng refused, saying that he would not be rewarded for his merits.The value of a century-old ginseng is not small, and he cannot accept such a great favor for nothing.The Xie family took another step back and was willing to sell it to him for a hundred taels of silver. They only need to write down the IOU first, and when he gets rich in the future, he can repay the money.Xu Yucheng felt that the Xie family was in a dilemma at the time, and Xie Jinyu was facing the crisis of being forced to marry by Wang Shouren. If the Xie family was really willing to use this ginseng to save his mother's life, then Xie Jinyu would be his mother-savior. How could he bear to let his benefactor In such a hopeless situation?In terms of emotion and reason, he is obliged to help Xie Jinyu through this difficulty.
After many days of entanglement, Xu Yucheng assured Father Xie that no matter whether Xie Jinyu liked him or not after the two got married, he would definitely treat Xie Jinyu as a treasure, take care of him, and respect him.If Xie Jinyu still has no affection for him after three years of marriage with him, and Xie Jinyu has gone through a crisis at that time, and Xie Jinyu also has his beloved, he voluntarily reconciles with Xie Jinyu and fulfills Xie Jinyu.
Xu Yucheng's sincere attitude impressed Father Xie. Xie Jinyu also felt that Xu Yucheng was a person worthy of entrustment. After the two got engaged, they often contacted each other. Xie Jinyu was attracted by Xu Yucheng's humorous and confident appearance, and gradually felt that this man was full of charm. Slowly entrust him with your heart, then Xu Zucheng's original promise will no longer be counted.
It's just that no one expected that people's hearts can change so quickly!
Xie Jinyu frowned slightly. He vaguely felt that the Xu Yucheng he saw today was not the same person as the Xu Yucheng in his previous life. Perhaps, before he and Xu Yucheng got engaged, Xu Yucheng was still Xu Yucheng. After the engagement, Xu Yucheng became another person.
It's no wonder that Xie Jinyu came up with such a shocking thought, it's because the contrast between Xu Yucheng's before and after is really too great.It is said that Xu Yucheng is filial, but after getting married in the previous life, although Xu Yucheng took his old mother by his side to take care of him, he basically ignored it. Several times, he even saw Xu Yucheng's face was ferocious, and he insulted Xu's mother loudly, and Xu's mother saw Xu Yucheng's appearance , It doesn't look like a mother who loves her son eagerly, but it looks like she is looking at an enemy!
The details that Xie Jinyu hadn't noticed in the previous life came to his mind one by one at this moment. Xu's mother's attitude is too abnormal. She can't see the slightest bit of love towards Xu Yucheng. The two are like enemies. , often glaring at each other, until the woman Xu Yucheng brought into the family became pregnant, and Xu's mother began to take care of the pregnant woman herself, doing everything by herself, without any fake hands.
At the beginning, Xie Jinyu only thought that Xu's mother valued pregnant women so much because she wanted to have a grandson in a hurry. After all, according to Xu Yucheng's age, she should indeed have a son and a half daughter. He was not pregnant, so Xu's mother took care of other pregnant concubines. It is also normal.But now it seems that Xu's mother is too concerned about the unborn child, as if it is the only life-saving straw.
The more Xie Jinyu thought about it, the more she felt that maybe Xu's mother really valued her grandchildren, after all, they were his son's blood!If Xu Yucheng really changed someone, wouldn't that be the incense of their Xu family!
Xie Jinyu thought that she could be reborn, so why wasn't Xu Yucheng in his previous life occupied by a lonely ghost or someone else?He has heard several stories about the young lady of a certain family who fell into the water, her temperament changed drastically, and it was finally discovered that a lonely soul and a wild monster snatched the young lady's body, pretending to be the young lady and coming to the world to do evil!
Could it be that Xu Yucheng is also such a lonely ghost?This can explain why Xu's mother suddenly changed her attitude towards Xu Yucheng. How could a mother not recognize her own son who was conceived in October and raised hard?It was precisely because he recognized that the man was not his own son that he treated Xu Yucheng coldly and ignored him.
It is also for this reason that Xu's mother attaches great importance to the children in the womb of Xu Yucheng's concubines, and dare not make any mistakes.
Xie Jinyu silently had a clue in her mind, and gradually relaxed her mind, and she also had a new idea about Xu Yucheng.
Whether that person is Xu Yucheng from his previous life, he only needs to design a test to find out.
Xie Jinyu curled his lips into a smile, and there was a look of hope in his eyes.No one knows that Xu Yucheng's weakness better than him, as long as he is a little seduced, he will take the bait lightly.
On the other side, just after Qi Lin finished his bath, a strong man in armor came in and whispered something to him.
Qi Lin frowned, a little surprised, "He went out alone?"
The strong man nodded, not daring to raise his head to see Qi Lin's face, he just replied sternly, "Young Master Xie did go out alone, first he went to the garden, heard the conversation of several servants, and then went to the other courtyard, I asked a person named Xu Yucheng."
"Understood, let's go down! Call those servants and the soldiers who have been in contact with him." Qi Lin frowned and waved his hands to let people go down.
Xu Chucheng...
"My lord, are you looking for us?" Xueyan and Mrs. Zhang knelt on the ground and saluted cautiously.They don't know what's going on, but Shizi asked them servants to come here and do what they want.
"Don't be afraid, I just want to ask you something." Qi Lin took a sip of his tea and said softly, "Just now, what did you talk about in the garden?"
Just now?
Xue Yan and the women looked at each other, sweating coldly, and kowtowed in fright, "My lord, please forgive me, my lord, please forgive my life, this servant didn't do anything, this servant was wronged!"
Qi Lin frowned, is he that scary?Thinking of how Xie Jinyu seemed to be frightened by him that day, his face suddenly became angry, "My son has a hideous appearance, but you scare you so much with just one word?"
"No, no, I dare not!" Xueyan swallowed her saliva, not daring to admit it.She is just a little girl who helps the kitchen, she has never seen such a battle before, she is not scared enough to pee her pants, she is already mentally strong, as for what she said just now, she has long forgotten it, and she can't remember it at all.
"My son, please calm down. In view of the fact that this old servant has served Taxue meticulously for so many years, let me spare this servant!" Mrs. Zhang was sweating profusely, and her mouth was almost bubbling.She's such an open mouth, it's a taboo to talk about the master behind his back, just because the son is often not here, so these slaves live a very leisurely life on weekdays, not as tense as being on the master's side at all.Usually they would discuss about the master's affairs, but they didn't expect that the elder son would find out about it this time, and they really touched the master's head.
If King An knew that they actually wanted their dog Daniu to have the same name as the prince, would they be kicked out of the other palace completely?
Mrs. Zhang was in a lot of torment, but Xue Yan suddenly thought of something when she heard the word "Taxue", and quickly kowtowed, "I want to report to my son, this servant remembers, this servant and Mrs. Zhang were talking in the garden about the heroism of my son who tamed the snow. Deeds, I think you are a god descending from the earth, so you tame a BMW like Taxue!"
"That's right, that's right, this servant really doesn't have other thoughts!" Mrs. Zhang also reacted, and quickly replied.
Hearing this, Qi Lin leaned forward slightly, with an imperceptible tension in his eyes, "You said that Taxue is Prince An's horse?"
Xueyan was slightly taken aback, not understanding the reason for Qi Lin's question, but she answered honestly, "Yes, the servant said." For no reason, Xueyan felt a flash of panic in her heart, and always felt that she seemed to be It was a big mistake.
"You actually said this?" Qi Lin was startled, stood up, and couldn't help but think of Xie Jinyu's anger after learning the truth in his mind, and suddenly he was furious, "You should be punished for talking about the master behind your back!"
"My lord, spare my life, my lord, spare my life!" Xue Yan and the others panicked, trembling with fright, begging for mercy.
"My son, Mr. Xie may not know your real identity." The big man from the beginning stepped forward and persuaded Qi Lin against Qi Lin's anger, "Although Mr. Xie heard what these maidservants said, but because of the urgent I went out to find someone, and I haven't had time to start the investigation, if we can get this lie going before he finds out the clues, then..." The big man didn't continue, but the meaning he wanted to express was very clear.
Qi Lin calmed down slowly. That's right, although Xie Jinyu had doubts now, he hadn't started to prove it yet.Based on his understanding of Xie Jinyu, Xie Jinyu trusts him very much at present. If he can make good use of this point, as long as he can find a reasonable explanation, Xie Jinyu will not hold on to this point.
However, how to continue to round up this lie?Qi Lin's mood gradually became heavy.
He didn't want to lie to Xie Jinyu. When they met for the first time, he just used his cousin's name on a whim. After getting along, he wanted to tell the truth, but he couldn't.And for some reason, Qi Lin always felt that if he told Xie Jinyu his real identity, Xie Jinyu would no longer be so close to him, and the relationship between the two might only stop as a partner.
Because of this weird intuition, Qi Lin has been procrastinating, until now he is in a dilemma, riding a tiger.
"My lord, this servant has a way to prevent Mr. Xie from discovering the truth!" Xue Yan suddenly raised her head and said loudly.Just now I was in a daze and didn't know the cause and effect of the matter, but as soon as the official opened his mouth, she suddenly realized that the reason why the prince was angry was not that they talked about the master behind his back, but that they accidentally exposed the prince true identity.
Xueyan was in her youth, at the age of a young girl Huaichun, she had read a lot of talk books in private, she had seen a lot of plots of the prince concealing his identity and having a relationship with ordinary people, so she immediately reacted to the prince What exactly did he want to do, so he hurriedly opened his mouth, wanting to make amends.
"Oh, do you have a solution?" Qi Lin lowered his head and asked.
"Yeah!" Snow Goose nodded again and again, and said loudly under everyone's gaze, "I remember that there was a dark black horse on the racecourse. The difference is almost the same, except that the horse has no white hair on its four feet, and can't sweat blood like treading snow, the rest is almost exactly the same as treading snow.
Mr. Xie has lived in a boudoir for a long time, so he must have never seen a horse before, and he will certainly not be able to distinguish the difference between a hard-earned BMW and an ordinary horse. At that time, we only need to dye the four hooves of the black horse into white with paint, and then let someone lead it. Watching it walk around the racecourse in the name of treading snow, and telling Mr. Xie that treading snow is the mount of the son of the world, and that no one else can approach it, so that Mr. Xie can put an end to the idea of finding out the truth. "
Qi Lin nodded, this idea is a good idea, but he turned around and asked, "Then how do you explain that Lin Qi's Treading Snow and Shizi's Treading Snow are not only exactly the same but also have the same name? "
Xueyan was stunned, and looked at Qi Lin in embarrassment.
"Young Master Biao has always regarded the Eldest Master as his role model, and learned everything from the Elder Master, and because of the incident of narcolepsy when he was a teenager, he has basically compared the utensils and utensils around him to the Elder Master over the years." Mrs. Zhang had an idea, Follow Xueyan's words, in this way, it is justified to say about the names and fates of Qi Lin and Lin Qi, "Although Shizi's BMW is also called Treading Snow, because it is a bloody BMW , so stepping on blood is the blood of fresh blood, and the snow of Master Biao is the snow of snowflakes."
Qi Lin was silent, "But I once told him on the racecourse that my Treading Snow is the only bloody horse. Many soldiers under my father failed to surrender, but I surrendered in twos and twos. "
It is rare for Qi Lin to feel depressed. When he said this passage on the racecourse, he wanted to show off his equestrian excellence and martial arts in front of Xie Jinyu, but he never expected that he would lift a stone and smash his own. The feet are now the biggest loophole in the lie.
The tall man took a look at Qi Lin, and said in a low voice, "Then feel wronged, Mr. Cousin, in order to express himself in front of the brother he likes, it's normal to talk big and brag, isn't it... ..." The man's words became softer and softer, and he swallowed them silently under Qi Lin's murderous eyes.
The rest of the attendants silently lowered their heads, not daring to look at Qi Lin's face, but there was a hint of a suppressed smile on their faces.It's the first time to see the son of the world deflated, so it's such a cool feeling!
"Hmph!" Qi Lin snorted coldly, and said to the snow geese on the ground, "Since you broke into this matter, I will leave it to you to handle it, and it will be regarded as giving you a chance to redeem your sins."
"Yes, yes, this servant will definitely handle this matter beautifully." Xue Yan nodded again and again, almost swearing to the sky to prove herself.
"By the way, you will be in charge of serving Mr. Xie at the Quanyang Banquet tonight, and you must serve him as if you were your own son."
"Yes, servant girl understands!" Xueyan knew that the son wanted her to show her face in front of Mr. Xie, and took the opportunity to gain Mr. Xie's trust. Fortunately, she later revealed the "blood stepping" incident.
Waiting for these people to go down, Qi Lin stared at those soldiers again, questioned for a while, and found that Xie Jinyu only asked about Xu Yucheng, and then waved them down. As for what was in his heart, he didn't know up.
Xie Jinyu rested for a while, and when his mood returned to normal, it was already nighttime, and the other courtyard was quiet, with a few scattered stars hanging in the corner of the sky diagonally opposite.
"Mr. Xie, for your interruption." Mrs. Li, who helped him change into his equestrian clothes, came in with a few maidservants, all holding a tray in their hands.
"Grandma Li, what are you doing?" Xie Jinyu asked curiously.He glanced at the things on the tray from a distance, how many small white porcelain bottles do you need some pens, inks, papers and inkstones?
"Mr. Xie, this is the snow ointment sent by the young master. The young master said that the young master is delicate and fleshy, and it is the first time to ride a horse. I can't see any damage now, but in the middle of the night, I will definitely have some pain on my body. These plasters are for healing. Good medicine for wounds and wear, you must need it. If you want to ride a horse these days, you must have this thing, so I asked this old slave to bring it to you." Mrs. Li said with a smile.
Xie Jinyu picked up a small porcelain bottle, opened it and smelled it lightly, a scent of medicine came over, which was refreshing.
It is indeed a rare good medicine!
Xie Jinyu smiled, staring at the pens, inks, papers and inkstones in his eyes, and asked, "These are for me too?"
Mrs. Li shook her head, "That's not true, this is what the young master wants, and he said he wants to paint."
Xie Jinyu nodded and did not continue to ask.
Shi Mo stood aside and watched the whole process, his cheeks puffed up and his fists hardened with anger.Good guy, this Lin Qi is so omniscient that he even thought of such things as delivering medicine.
Shi Mo was depressed, but he couldn't let his young master refuse. After all, it was the young master who was suffering on horseback. He couldn't just watch the young master suffer and remain indifferent, right?You can only blame yourself for not thinking of this. When you came here, you didn't expect to bring the young master's favorite pastry. Let Lin Qi, a man, take the lead. But when he knew that the young master was here for a horse race, I also forgot to prepare wound medicine for the son, it is really useless at all!
"I'm really bothering Granny Li. This is a small thought from me. Thank you Granny Li for taking care of me these few days." Xie Jinyu didn't care about what Shi Mo was thinking, so she took out a few pieces of silver from her purse and handed it to Granny Li.
"Don't dare, the old slave is following the orders of the young master!" Mrs. Li quickly withdrew her hand, she didn't dare to take the money.Anyone with eyes can tell that Shi Ziye treats Xie Jinyu differently, how dare she accept his filial piety, isn't this just a way of dying!
Seeing that Mrs. Li didn't accept her, Xie Jinyu didn't force her to do so. She just sent him out with a smile on her face, and then she held the porcelain bottle in a daze.
"My lord, come back to your senses, come back to your senses!" Shi Mo waved his hand in front of Xie Jinyu, angrily said, "It's just a snow hamm ointment, our Xie family can't afford it!"
"Oh~ Then why didn't you prepare it for me?" Xie Jinyu glanced at Shi Mo quietly, and then looked at Shi Mo with a guilty conscience and lowered his head, wishing to bury him in the soil.
The moonlight was bright, and the chirping of frogs and cicadas added a touch of excitement to the silent night.
Xie Jinyu, Qi Lin and the others were sitting around a bonfire, with a lamb that had been cleaned up in front of them. The bright yellow flames were burning brightly, roasting the skin of the lamb until it was golden.
Obviously several people were sitting together, but it seemed that Qi Lin was the only one left in Xie Jinyu's world, watching his every move with all his heart and eyes.
The man sat upright, even if he was sitting around the bonfire with others, gently turning over the lamb with a small brush in his hand, it was obviously a very low-level thing, and Qi Lin did it very seriously, with dignity He looked serious, as if he was dealing with some important military affairs.
"Young master Lin can cook whole roasted lamb?" Xie Jinyu asked softly, breaking the silence of the night.
"Barely know how to do it. When I followed my uncle to suppress the bandits, I used to march and fight. I rarely had enough dry food. Most of them were made from local materials. I think roasted rabbits and roasted whole sheep are all roasted. They should be similar!" Qi Lin smiled slightly, and his posture looked a bit like a chef.
Xie Jinyu nodded, and was about to say something when a strange maid came up. He blinked and found that it was the girl named Xueyan whom he had seen in the afternoon.
Xueyan held a small lamb chop in his hand, threaded it with wire, handed it to Xie Jinyu, and said respectfully, "Mr. Xie, do you want to try it yourself?"
Lin Qi and Prince An are cousins. Xie Jinyu also knew from their usual relationship that the relationship between the two was very good. It was impossible for Lin Qi to deliberately deceive himself by using Prince An's things, and he was not such a person at all. So what's the matter?
Xie Jinyu had a faint idea in his heart, but he was so short of a flash of inspiration that he couldn't find any thoughts.
Xie Jinyu raised his head and glanced at the place where the servants were, and silently wrote down a few of them, thinking that when he finished his business, he would definitely ask him what was going on!
From the bottom of his heart, he didn't want to believe and admit that Lin Qi would deceive him!
Xie Jinyu hurriedly went to the front yard, and met several officers and guards who were on duty today, with a bright smile on his face, "Brothers, please stay!"
"What's the matter with this young master?" The leading soldier frowned, but stopped politely and looked at Xie Jinyu.Although they didn't know Xie Jinyu's identity, but this son was brought by the Shizi, they respected him somewhat.
"My lord, I have something I want to ask some of you." Xie Jinyu smiled.
The soldier was stunned for a moment, wondering what Xie Jinyu wanted to know from him. They were just the guards of this other courtyard. They had neither official positions nor background backing. A master like Xie Jinyu would not look at them with a straight eye. , Why would you suddenly ask them about something?
The soldier kept an eye out on the spot, straightened his body, his face became serious, and asked with a straight face, "What do you want to inquire about, I will not reveal anything about the son of the world."
What does this have to do with Shizi?
A trace of doubt flashed in Xie Jinyu's eyes, and then he thought about it, this is King An's other courtyard, and the Shi Ziye is also the owner of this place, presumably these officials regarded him as the kind of person who climbed the throne and thought they wanted to inquire about it. Shi Ziye's preference!
"No, the official misunderstood!" Xie Jinyu pursed her lips and smiled softly, and said softly, "I want to ask everyone, on the racecourse today, I saw a young man dressed as a scholar who was also picking up horse dung on his back. I'm curious, so I came here to ask one or two."
"A young man dressed as a scholar?" The soldier thought about it for a while, suddenly realized, and gestured to his height, "Is the scholar you mentioned about my height, thin and thin, with a fair face, and looks very handsome?" Looks weak?"
"That's right, that's right, it's this scholar. Does the military master know who it is? I see that he is cleanly dressed and has a bookish spirit. He doesn't look like an ordinary citizen. How could he pick up horses here? Shit?" Xie Jinyu's eyeballs moved, but he didn't directly say Xu Yucheng's name, he didn't want people to suspect that he had any relationship with Xu Yucheng.
"The scholar you mentioned is a scholar! His surname is Xu and his name is Xiucheng. He is from Jiangning City. He was only a weak crown, so he was selected as a scholar early. He is a well-known talent in a radius of ten miles!" The soldier As soon as the master heard that he was not inquiring about the son of the world, he immediately got excited, especially the person Xie Jinyu inquired about, they still had a good impression, and they quickly talked about it.
"Then Xu Xiucai's family was poor, and his father died early when he was young. It was all relying on the old mother at home to manage, so he reluctantly sent him to school to study and read. Ten years later, he passed the examination of a scholar, and his future is limitless! However, he is also considered lonely. Seeing that the better days are coming, the old mother at home is seriously ill. Xu Xiucai has no money to see the doctor for the old mother. Go up the mountain every day to pick up horse dung and earn some wages!"
"That's right, besides collecting horse dung for us to make money, he also often goes up the mountain to collect firewood and sell it for money. By the way, Xu Xiucai has also read a lot of medical books and knows a lot about the herbs on the mountain. He often goes up the mountain to collect herbs and sell them for money." Another official added.
"However, I don't think his old mother can survive for long. I heard from the old doctor in the town that Xu Xiucai's mother might not survive this year if there is no century-old ginseng." Master Jun shook his head, regretfully saying, "If his mother dies, Xu Xiucai will have to observe filial piety for three years, and he will definitely miss this year's autumn!"
The rest of the military masters shook their heads, feeling very sorry.Xu Xiucai is such a filial person, how could his life be so miserable.
"You said that he often works on the mountain just to make money to treat his mother?" Xie Jinyu showed a trace of doubt on his face, and there was a little disbelief in his eyes. A selfish person like Xu Yucheng would go to the mountain for his mother's illness. Picking up horse manure?This is simply the greatest joke in the world!
"That's right, this is something that is known to all villages far and near. Xu Xiucai is really filial, and his character is really nothing to say!" Jun Ye compared a thumb, eyes full of admiration.
Xie Jinyu took a step back, her face pale.How is this possible, Xu Yucheng is obviously selfish and cruel, how can he have such filial piety and perseverance?Obviously, Xu's mother in the previous life was so mad at him. In this life, Xu Yucheng has become so filial?
Xie Jinyu couldn't believe it, but the words of these military masters didn't seem to be deceiving him, so what's going on?
Xie Jinyu returned to her residence in a daze, closed the door silently, and lowered her head in thought.
It is certain that the Xu Yucheng he saw today is indeed Xu Yucheng, but is there still a question mark about Xu Yucheng from his previous life?Xie Jinyu took out the pen, ink, paper and inkstone from the desk, ground them carefully, recalled the bits and pieces of her previous life, and began to compare the differences between the two Xu Yucheng bit by bit.
Xie Jinyu clearly remembered that Xu Yucheng in his previous life paid great attention to face, and would never allow anything that insulted his dignity to happen. Even if he did something wrong, he must not be corrected directly, because in his opinion, this is You're hitting him in the face, you're insulting him.
It can be seen from this that Xu Yucheng has carved vanity into his bones, and has a kind of morbid pride.Such a person, but in the mouths of these officials in this life, he is synonymous with filial piety, kindness, and sincerity, which in itself does not conform to common sense.Even if he was good at disguising, Xie Jinyu didn't believe that a man who usually put his thoughts on his face would condescend to pick up horse manure, which would make him more uncomfortable than killing him!
But something outrageous really happened. Xu Yucheng was actually picking up horse manure in Beishan, and according to the words of these military masters, Xu Yucheng had been picking up horse manure for half a year. If it was just to attract the attention of King An or Prince An's son , then his forbearance ability is too terrifying.
Xie Jinyu didn't believe that Xu Yucheng had such forbearance skills. In his previous life, Xu Yucheng was irritable and irritable, with all his joy, anger, sorrow and joy on his face. It was impossible to start a new life. Nothing changed, so Xu Yucheng changed into another person!There must be something else in this that he doesn't know.
Xie Jinyu thought back secretly, and finally noticed something unusual.The soldiers all said that Xu Yucheng was kind and filial, he did everything for his old mother himself, he was a filial son!
In fact, Xie Jinyu also clearly remembers that in the previous life, the Xie family recruited a son-in-law. It stands to reason that Xu Yucheng's conditions would make it impossible for him to come to the Xie family to be a son-in-law. For a scholar like him, being a son-in-law almost stains his identity, and it is difficult to be treated equally in the officialdom, but even so, Xu Yucheng from his previous life still came here for the hundred-year-old ginseng. Participated in the Xie family's son-in-law recruitment and became his fiancé.
At that time, father Xie was afraid that Xu Yucheng might have some bad intentions, so he sent someone to secretly inquire about Xu Yucheng's past.After all, under the circumstances at that time, the Xie family had fallen into decline. Logically speaking, Xu Yucheng was a scholar, or a scholar who had already entered high school at a young age. Judging from the situation of the Xie family at that time, Xie Jinyu was definitely the one who was the most admired by Xie Jinyu. .
The results of Xie's father's investigation also clearly showed that Xu Yucheng was not only outstanding in knowledge and literary talent, but also simple and filial, gentle and polite to others, even if he was selected as a scholar, the neighbors praised him a lot and were very satisfied with him.
Xie Jinyu and Father Xie were very satisfied with such an almost perfect scholar from a poor family, thinking that this was a good marriage destined by nature.But unexpectedly, after marriage, Xu Yucheng seemed to be a different person. Those beautiful qualities in the investigation results were like an exquisite disguise, deceiving everyone around.
However, can someone really hide for 20 years without being discovered?
When Xie's father investigated, he not only asked Xu Yucheng's classmates and friends, his teacher's uncle, but also the seven aunts and eight aunts in the same village. This person doesn't have any major problems, except that he is a bit stubborn, shy, and physically weak, there are almost no other major problems related to character!
If it is said that his relatives and friends have concealed something, but those neighbors in the same village who like to talk badly can't also deceive Father Xie, right?No matter how bad it is, there are still some people he doesn't deal with, some are gangsters in the village, and some are competitors in the school. Except for some non-existent things, there is really no other bad thing. This is a A young man who introspects himself three times a day and flaunts the etiquette of a gentleman in everything.
Xie Jinyu remembered very clearly that when Xu Yucheng approached Xie's father, he told Xie's father very solemnly that the reason he was willing to join Xie's family was because Xie Jinyu's dowry contained a century-old ginseng tree, and he voluntarily joined Xie's family in order to treat his mother's illness!
Xie Jinyu was grateful for his kindness and filial piety, so he asked his father to bring a message. He was willing to donate the century-old ginseng tree to Xu Yucheng for free, so that he could save his mother.
But Xu Yucheng refused, saying that he would not be rewarded for his merits.The value of a century-old ginseng is not small, and he cannot accept such a great favor for nothing.The Xie family took another step back and was willing to sell it to him for a hundred taels of silver. They only need to write down the IOU first, and when he gets rich in the future, he can repay the money.Xu Yucheng felt that the Xie family was in a dilemma at the time, and Xie Jinyu was facing the crisis of being forced to marry by Wang Shouren. If the Xie family was really willing to use this ginseng to save his mother's life, then Xie Jinyu would be his mother-savior. How could he bear to let his benefactor In such a hopeless situation?In terms of emotion and reason, he is obliged to help Xie Jinyu through this difficulty.
After many days of entanglement, Xu Yucheng assured Father Xie that no matter whether Xie Jinyu liked him or not after the two got married, he would definitely treat Xie Jinyu as a treasure, take care of him, and respect him.If Xie Jinyu still has no affection for him after three years of marriage with him, and Xie Jinyu has gone through a crisis at that time, and Xie Jinyu also has his beloved, he voluntarily reconciles with Xie Jinyu and fulfills Xie Jinyu.
Xu Yucheng's sincere attitude impressed Father Xie. Xie Jinyu also felt that Xu Yucheng was a person worthy of entrustment. After the two got engaged, they often contacted each other. Xie Jinyu was attracted by Xu Yucheng's humorous and confident appearance, and gradually felt that this man was full of charm. Slowly entrust him with your heart, then Xu Zucheng's original promise will no longer be counted.
It's just that no one expected that people's hearts can change so quickly!
Xie Jinyu frowned slightly. He vaguely felt that the Xu Yucheng he saw today was not the same person as the Xu Yucheng in his previous life. Perhaps, before he and Xu Yucheng got engaged, Xu Yucheng was still Xu Yucheng. After the engagement, Xu Yucheng became another person.
It's no wonder that Xie Jinyu came up with such a shocking thought, it's because the contrast between Xu Yucheng's before and after is really too great.It is said that Xu Yucheng is filial, but after getting married in the previous life, although Xu Yucheng took his old mother by his side to take care of him, he basically ignored it. Several times, he even saw Xu Yucheng's face was ferocious, and he insulted Xu's mother loudly, and Xu's mother saw Xu Yucheng's appearance , It doesn't look like a mother who loves her son eagerly, but it looks like she is looking at an enemy!
The details that Xie Jinyu hadn't noticed in the previous life came to his mind one by one at this moment. Xu's mother's attitude is too abnormal. She can't see the slightest bit of love towards Xu Yucheng. The two are like enemies. , often glaring at each other, until the woman Xu Yucheng brought into the family became pregnant, and Xu's mother began to take care of the pregnant woman herself, doing everything by herself, without any fake hands.
At the beginning, Xie Jinyu only thought that Xu's mother valued pregnant women so much because she wanted to have a grandson in a hurry. After all, according to Xu Yucheng's age, she should indeed have a son and a half daughter. He was not pregnant, so Xu's mother took care of other pregnant concubines. It is also normal.But now it seems that Xu's mother is too concerned about the unborn child, as if it is the only life-saving straw.
The more Xie Jinyu thought about it, the more she felt that maybe Xu's mother really valued her grandchildren, after all, they were his son's blood!If Xu Yucheng really changed someone, wouldn't that be the incense of their Xu family!
Xie Jinyu thought that she could be reborn, so why wasn't Xu Yucheng in his previous life occupied by a lonely ghost or someone else?He has heard several stories about the young lady of a certain family who fell into the water, her temperament changed drastically, and it was finally discovered that a lonely soul and a wild monster snatched the young lady's body, pretending to be the young lady and coming to the world to do evil!
Could it be that Xu Yucheng is also such a lonely ghost?This can explain why Xu's mother suddenly changed her attitude towards Xu Yucheng. How could a mother not recognize her own son who was conceived in October and raised hard?It was precisely because he recognized that the man was not his own son that he treated Xu Yucheng coldly and ignored him.
It is also for this reason that Xu's mother attaches great importance to the children in the womb of Xu Yucheng's concubines, and dare not make any mistakes.
Xie Jinyu silently had a clue in her mind, and gradually relaxed her mind, and she also had a new idea about Xu Yucheng.
Whether that person is Xu Yucheng from his previous life, he only needs to design a test to find out.
Xie Jinyu curled his lips into a smile, and there was a look of hope in his eyes.No one knows that Xu Yucheng's weakness better than him, as long as he is a little seduced, he will take the bait lightly.
On the other side, just after Qi Lin finished his bath, a strong man in armor came in and whispered something to him.
Qi Lin frowned, a little surprised, "He went out alone?"
The strong man nodded, not daring to raise his head to see Qi Lin's face, he just replied sternly, "Young Master Xie did go out alone, first he went to the garden, heard the conversation of several servants, and then went to the other courtyard, I asked a person named Xu Yucheng."
"Understood, let's go down! Call those servants and the soldiers who have been in contact with him." Qi Lin frowned and waved his hands to let people go down.
Xu Chucheng...
"My lord, are you looking for us?" Xueyan and Mrs. Zhang knelt on the ground and saluted cautiously.They don't know what's going on, but Shizi asked them servants to come here and do what they want.
"Don't be afraid, I just want to ask you something." Qi Lin took a sip of his tea and said softly, "Just now, what did you talk about in the garden?"
Just now?
Xue Yan and the women looked at each other, sweating coldly, and kowtowed in fright, "My lord, please forgive me, my lord, please forgive my life, this servant didn't do anything, this servant was wronged!"
Qi Lin frowned, is he that scary?Thinking of how Xie Jinyu seemed to be frightened by him that day, his face suddenly became angry, "My son has a hideous appearance, but you scare you so much with just one word?"
"No, no, I dare not!" Xueyan swallowed her saliva, not daring to admit it.She is just a little girl who helps the kitchen, she has never seen such a battle before, she is not scared enough to pee her pants, she is already mentally strong, as for what she said just now, she has long forgotten it, and she can't remember it at all.
"My son, please calm down. In view of the fact that this old servant has served Taxue meticulously for so many years, let me spare this servant!" Mrs. Zhang was sweating profusely, and her mouth was almost bubbling.She's such an open mouth, it's a taboo to talk about the master behind his back, just because the son is often not here, so these slaves live a very leisurely life on weekdays, not as tense as being on the master's side at all.Usually they would discuss about the master's affairs, but they didn't expect that the elder son would find out about it this time, and they really touched the master's head.
If King An knew that they actually wanted their dog Daniu to have the same name as the prince, would they be kicked out of the other palace completely?
Mrs. Zhang was in a lot of torment, but Xue Yan suddenly thought of something when she heard the word "Taxue", and quickly kowtowed, "I want to report to my son, this servant remembers, this servant and Mrs. Zhang were talking in the garden about the heroism of my son who tamed the snow. Deeds, I think you are a god descending from the earth, so you tame a BMW like Taxue!"
"That's right, that's right, this servant really doesn't have other thoughts!" Mrs. Zhang also reacted, and quickly replied.
Hearing this, Qi Lin leaned forward slightly, with an imperceptible tension in his eyes, "You said that Taxue is Prince An's horse?"
Xueyan was slightly taken aback, not understanding the reason for Qi Lin's question, but she answered honestly, "Yes, the servant said." For no reason, Xueyan felt a flash of panic in her heart, and always felt that she seemed to be It was a big mistake.
"You actually said this?" Qi Lin was startled, stood up, and couldn't help but think of Xie Jinyu's anger after learning the truth in his mind, and suddenly he was furious, "You should be punished for talking about the master behind your back!"
"My lord, spare my life, my lord, spare my life!" Xue Yan and the others panicked, trembling with fright, begging for mercy.
"My son, Mr. Xie may not know your real identity." The big man from the beginning stepped forward and persuaded Qi Lin against Qi Lin's anger, "Although Mr. Xie heard what these maidservants said, but because of the urgent I went out to find someone, and I haven't had time to start the investigation, if we can get this lie going before he finds out the clues, then..." The big man didn't continue, but the meaning he wanted to express was very clear.
Qi Lin calmed down slowly. That's right, although Xie Jinyu had doubts now, he hadn't started to prove it yet.Based on his understanding of Xie Jinyu, Xie Jinyu trusts him very much at present. If he can make good use of this point, as long as he can find a reasonable explanation, Xie Jinyu will not hold on to this point.
However, how to continue to round up this lie?Qi Lin's mood gradually became heavy.
He didn't want to lie to Xie Jinyu. When they met for the first time, he just used his cousin's name on a whim. After getting along, he wanted to tell the truth, but he couldn't.And for some reason, Qi Lin always felt that if he told Xie Jinyu his real identity, Xie Jinyu would no longer be so close to him, and the relationship between the two might only stop as a partner.
Because of this weird intuition, Qi Lin has been procrastinating, until now he is in a dilemma, riding a tiger.
"My lord, this servant has a way to prevent Mr. Xie from discovering the truth!" Xue Yan suddenly raised her head and said loudly.Just now I was in a daze and didn't know the cause and effect of the matter, but as soon as the official opened his mouth, she suddenly realized that the reason why the prince was angry was not that they talked about the master behind his back, but that they accidentally exposed the prince true identity.
Xueyan was in her youth, at the age of a young girl Huaichun, she had read a lot of talk books in private, she had seen a lot of plots of the prince concealing his identity and having a relationship with ordinary people, so she immediately reacted to the prince What exactly did he want to do, so he hurriedly opened his mouth, wanting to make amends.
"Oh, do you have a solution?" Qi Lin lowered his head and asked.
"Yeah!" Snow Goose nodded again and again, and said loudly under everyone's gaze, "I remember that there was a dark black horse on the racecourse. The difference is almost the same, except that the horse has no white hair on its four feet, and can't sweat blood like treading snow, the rest is almost exactly the same as treading snow.
Mr. Xie has lived in a boudoir for a long time, so he must have never seen a horse before, and he will certainly not be able to distinguish the difference between a hard-earned BMW and an ordinary horse. At that time, we only need to dye the four hooves of the black horse into white with paint, and then let someone lead it. Watching it walk around the racecourse in the name of treading snow, and telling Mr. Xie that treading snow is the mount of the son of the world, and that no one else can approach it, so that Mr. Xie can put an end to the idea of finding out the truth. "
Qi Lin nodded, this idea is a good idea, but he turned around and asked, "Then how do you explain that Lin Qi's Treading Snow and Shizi's Treading Snow are not only exactly the same but also have the same name? "
Xueyan was stunned, and looked at Qi Lin in embarrassment.
"Young Master Biao has always regarded the Eldest Master as his role model, and learned everything from the Elder Master, and because of the incident of narcolepsy when he was a teenager, he has basically compared the utensils and utensils around him to the Elder Master over the years." Mrs. Zhang had an idea, Follow Xueyan's words, in this way, it is justified to say about the names and fates of Qi Lin and Lin Qi, "Although Shizi's BMW is also called Treading Snow, because it is a bloody BMW , so stepping on blood is the blood of fresh blood, and the snow of Master Biao is the snow of snowflakes."
Qi Lin was silent, "But I once told him on the racecourse that my Treading Snow is the only bloody horse. Many soldiers under my father failed to surrender, but I surrendered in twos and twos. "
It is rare for Qi Lin to feel depressed. When he said this passage on the racecourse, he wanted to show off his equestrian excellence and martial arts in front of Xie Jinyu, but he never expected that he would lift a stone and smash his own. The feet are now the biggest loophole in the lie.
The tall man took a look at Qi Lin, and said in a low voice, "Then feel wronged, Mr. Cousin, in order to express himself in front of the brother he likes, it's normal to talk big and brag, isn't it... ..." The man's words became softer and softer, and he swallowed them silently under Qi Lin's murderous eyes.
The rest of the attendants silently lowered their heads, not daring to look at Qi Lin's face, but there was a hint of a suppressed smile on their faces.It's the first time to see the son of the world deflated, so it's such a cool feeling!
"Hmph!" Qi Lin snorted coldly, and said to the snow geese on the ground, "Since you broke into this matter, I will leave it to you to handle it, and it will be regarded as giving you a chance to redeem your sins."
"Yes, yes, this servant will definitely handle this matter beautifully." Xue Yan nodded again and again, almost swearing to the sky to prove herself.
"By the way, you will be in charge of serving Mr. Xie at the Quanyang Banquet tonight, and you must serve him as if you were your own son."
"Yes, servant girl understands!" Xueyan knew that the son wanted her to show her face in front of Mr. Xie, and took the opportunity to gain Mr. Xie's trust. Fortunately, she later revealed the "blood stepping" incident.
Waiting for these people to go down, Qi Lin stared at those soldiers again, questioned for a while, and found that Xie Jinyu only asked about Xu Yucheng, and then waved them down. As for what was in his heart, he didn't know up.
Xie Jinyu rested for a while, and when his mood returned to normal, it was already nighttime, and the other courtyard was quiet, with a few scattered stars hanging in the corner of the sky diagonally opposite.
"Mr. Xie, for your interruption." Mrs. Li, who helped him change into his equestrian clothes, came in with a few maidservants, all holding a tray in their hands.
"Grandma Li, what are you doing?" Xie Jinyu asked curiously.He glanced at the things on the tray from a distance, how many small white porcelain bottles do you need some pens, inks, papers and inkstones?
"Mr. Xie, this is the snow ointment sent by the young master. The young master said that the young master is delicate and fleshy, and it is the first time to ride a horse. I can't see any damage now, but in the middle of the night, I will definitely have some pain on my body. These plasters are for healing. Good medicine for wounds and wear, you must need it. If you want to ride a horse these days, you must have this thing, so I asked this old slave to bring it to you." Mrs. Li said with a smile.
Xie Jinyu picked up a small porcelain bottle, opened it and smelled it lightly, a scent of medicine came over, which was refreshing.
It is indeed a rare good medicine!
Xie Jinyu smiled, staring at the pens, inks, papers and inkstones in his eyes, and asked, "These are for me too?"
Mrs. Li shook her head, "That's not true, this is what the young master wants, and he said he wants to paint."
Xie Jinyu nodded and did not continue to ask.
Shi Mo stood aside and watched the whole process, his cheeks puffed up and his fists hardened with anger.Good guy, this Lin Qi is so omniscient that he even thought of such things as delivering medicine.
Shi Mo was depressed, but he couldn't let his young master refuse. After all, it was the young master who was suffering on horseback. He couldn't just watch the young master suffer and remain indifferent, right?You can only blame yourself for not thinking of this. When you came here, you didn't expect to bring the young master's favorite pastry. Let Lin Qi, a man, take the lead. But when he knew that the young master was here for a horse race, I also forgot to prepare wound medicine for the son, it is really useless at all!
"I'm really bothering Granny Li. This is a small thought from me. Thank you Granny Li for taking care of me these few days." Xie Jinyu didn't care about what Shi Mo was thinking, so she took out a few pieces of silver from her purse and handed it to Granny Li.
"Don't dare, the old slave is following the orders of the young master!" Mrs. Li quickly withdrew her hand, she didn't dare to take the money.Anyone with eyes can tell that Shi Ziye treats Xie Jinyu differently, how dare she accept his filial piety, isn't this just a way of dying!
Seeing that Mrs. Li didn't accept her, Xie Jinyu didn't force her to do so. She just sent him out with a smile on her face, and then she held the porcelain bottle in a daze.
"My lord, come back to your senses, come back to your senses!" Shi Mo waved his hand in front of Xie Jinyu, angrily said, "It's just a snow hamm ointment, our Xie family can't afford it!"
"Oh~ Then why didn't you prepare it for me?" Xie Jinyu glanced at Shi Mo quietly, and then looked at Shi Mo with a guilty conscience and lowered his head, wishing to bury him in the soil.
The moonlight was bright, and the chirping of frogs and cicadas added a touch of excitement to the silent night.
Xie Jinyu, Qi Lin and the others were sitting around a bonfire, with a lamb that had been cleaned up in front of them. The bright yellow flames were burning brightly, roasting the skin of the lamb until it was golden.
Obviously several people were sitting together, but it seemed that Qi Lin was the only one left in Xie Jinyu's world, watching his every move with all his heart and eyes.
The man sat upright, even if he was sitting around the bonfire with others, gently turning over the lamb with a small brush in his hand, it was obviously a very low-level thing, and Qi Lin did it very seriously, with dignity He looked serious, as if he was dealing with some important military affairs.
"Young master Lin can cook whole roasted lamb?" Xie Jinyu asked softly, breaking the silence of the night.
"Barely know how to do it. When I followed my uncle to suppress the bandits, I used to march and fight. I rarely had enough dry food. Most of them were made from local materials. I think roasted rabbits and roasted whole sheep are all roasted. They should be similar!" Qi Lin smiled slightly, and his posture looked a bit like a chef.
Xie Jinyu nodded, and was about to say something when a strange maid came up. He blinked and found that it was the girl named Xueyan whom he had seen in the afternoon.
Xueyan held a small lamb chop in his hand, threaded it with wire, handed it to Xie Jinyu, and said respectfully, "Mr. Xie, do you want to try it yourself?"
