Chapter 43: Father and Brother Appear
The place where Xia Lily is currently standing is the hall house that You Shi said, with a size of more than ten square meters, a large table of eight immortals in the middle, four long benches under the table, and a chair under the window on the left, which has the same paint and burrs as the table bench.

Generally more particular villagers, the hall at home should also have a coffee table Taishi chair, hanging the middle hall painting, the Xia family is very poor at first glance, but fortunately, there are still a lot of houses, if she also lives down, she will not worry about no place.
There was a cloth curtain hanging in the far back of the hall house, and there were many more patches on the curtain than on the curtains in Huang's house, this was her cheap father's bedroom, Xia Lily reached out and lifted the curtain and went in.
The lighting in the main room is quite good, and Xiahou's bedroom doesn't even have curtains, and the furnishings in the house are simple at a glance.
On one side of the earthen kang against the wall, there was a pillow and a neatly folded thin quilt on the kang, which still had patches on it, and Xia Lily turned over the cloth blanket spread on the kang, and the bottom was straw.
It's all smelly, and it's easy to get mosquitoes and infectious diseases in summer!
"Don't bask either!" Xia Lihe couldn't help muttering, in fact, she also knew in her heart that the Xia family had gone from rich to poor, not to mention that the psychological gap had to be adjusted, that is, it would take time for these people who were born in plain clothes to stretch out their hands to eat and open their mouths to learn to take care of themselves and learn to survive.
But as a healer, she can't turn a blind eye to things that can spread diseases, right?
Xia Lily rolled up her sleeves and began to clean up the room for Xia Hou, she first took the pillow and quilt to the yard and put them in the corner, whether these have to be decided by the Xia family themselves, but they must be washed and then laid!
"Third girl, I'll come!" Rui Zhu, who was counting things, hurriedly went over to take over.
"You go clean up their room. Xia Lily called Yaya to come over and lead the way for Ruizhu, "First pile the things that are to be replaced and removed in the courtyard, and wait for my father and them to come back and ask if there is anything to keep before deciding whether to throw it away or wash it." ”
"Yes......" In Rui Zhu's opinion, these things are too dirty, if they were in the former Xia family and the current Protector's Mansion, even the subordinates who did rough work would not use them, but these are the daily use of Taifu Xia!
Rui Zhu couldn't help but feel sad, faintly a little lucky, fortunately she was the same age as the second girl, and she was selected as Xia Lianxin's personal maid ring when she was very young, and she naturally had to follow the second girl when she got married, but she was reluctant to let her father and brother come, and the second girl simply brought their family to come.
At the beginning, Ruizhu was just happy to be able to serve the second girl without separating from her relatives, as for the Xia family and the Hou Mansion, they were almost the same for her, but who would have thought that the Xia family would be exiled after speaking, and all the slaves and maids in the family were sold, if her family was still in the Taifu Mansion, then ......
Xia Lily was busy neatly, and when she began to hug the straw outside, the door of Huang's house also opened, and Mama Lu also came out with a pile of clothes, obviously she also thought that a clean environment was more conducive to mothers and babies.
"Third girl, why are you still reaching out?!Quickly put down and let the old slave come!" Mama Lu hurried over in surprise.
"I'll clean up my father's room, Ruizhu is cleaning up for the maids, Mama Lu, you're busy with my second sister-in-law." Xia Baihe keeps her hands, working is nothing to her, and she won't really treat herself as a daughter, especially now that the Xia family is like this.
The third girl wants to be filial to the master...... Mama Lu is not good at stopping her, and besides, only she and Ruizhu can't decorate this place before the master comes back.
Xia Lily's movements are good because she is used to racing against time, but Mama Lu doesn't understand, she thinks Xia Lily is going to surprise Xia Hou, and sighs at the filial piety of the three girls!
After cleaning up all the straw on the kang, Xia Lily found a piece of cloth and took a basin to scoop water from the jar, and scrubbed all of Xiahou's bedroom, and when she finished doing this, Mama Lu and Ruizhu were still holding clothes outside.
This is not to prove that there are more clothes in the second room and the big room than the master's, this is just because Mama Lu and Ruizhu are not as capable as her, these two people don't look at them as subordinates, but whether they are in the Xia family and the Hou Mansion, they are also the second masters in terms of identity, and there are little girls waiting around them on weekdays, and there have been "big moves" like today, which have not been seen for many years.
In traditional Chinese medicine, there are many records that famous doctors in ancient times recommended the use of atractylodes to smoke the house, saying that atractylodes can remove evil spirits, the ancient bacteria mutated far less than modern ones, and atractylodes is very easy to buy, and Xia Lily can't match Su, 84 and the like, so they use Chinese medicinal materials as air disinfectants from the good flow.
"Third aunt, what kind of fragrance is this?" Yaya has been watching from the side, she can't help much, but she also knows that this is a new one for the family, and her heart is happy, and then Xia Lily began to order atractylodes in the house, and finally found a chance to ask.
"This is called atractylodes, it is used to smoke the house, and if it is smoked, it can make the girl sleep well and not be bitten by mosquitoes...... "Before giving Yaya a pulse, Xia Lily didn't find out what was wrong with the little girl, if you really want to say that it is sick, it is just a few small red envelopes on the skin, and judging by the color and the season, it is mosquito bitten."
Sure enough, the girl's eyes were bright when she heard it, and the little girl was scared of being bitten by mosquitoes!
Xia Lily thought about taking the opportunity to talk more about pharmacology, cultivate Yaya's interest in medicine, and maybe she could rely on it to eat in the future, but she heard the undisguised footsteps of many people outside the hospital, and hurried here.
A big * wave of relatives is coming!
Xia Baihe took out the vigilance of going to the battlefield and led the maid out of the house, when the court master, the staff of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, and the editor of the Hanlin Academy, they are all shrewd and capable talents who have seen the world, and they are relatively unemotional, so don't find out that something is wrong with her.
As soon as Xia Lily and Yaya stood in the courtyard, a group of relatives rushed into the courtyard, facing each other, and they were all stunned.
When the court was edited by the Imperial Prince, the official department, the Wailang, and the Hanlin Academy?
Down, haggard, and ten years old all of a sudden, it's better to be an official...... These changes are easy to understand, Xia Lily is also prepared in her heart, but what is the situation with a red face?
Yes, Xia Hou and their faces are full of red envelopes, Xia Baihe knows that they are the same as Yaya, they were bitten by mosquitoes, not a malignant disease that is not difficult to treat, but looking at the number, how can there be so much, they can't even take the most basic precautions when they work in the field?
useless is a scholar, the first time I saw my relatives in this life, Xia Baihe suddenly remembered such a sentence, a very unaffectionate sentence.
Xiahou and they were very excited, they heard You Shi say in the field that the third girl brought the second girl's people to see them with things, Xiahou father and son were surprised, since their family was able to live in Jiangbei safely, the three sisters of the Xia family who were not around were naturally the most worried.
The eldest girl of the Xia family is the crown princess, and now she has a relationship with the prince who shares honor and disgrace, and it will be a major event in the world if something really happens, so there is no news in the capital for the time being, but it is good news.
The second girl of the Xia family married the Protector Mansion, and the Xia family also knew about the loss of the old Marquis Sun, thinking that Xia Lianxin gave birth to three children to the Sun family, Xia Hou They didn't think that Sun Panshi would ruthlessly abandon his wife and children.
Xia Lily is the most worrying, the youngest lady in the family, usually walks around at home, and has to have four grandmothers, four big girls and four small girls to follow closely, but now in order to take refuge, she only took a long journey with a grandmother, two girls and a carriage, can she get to Cao's house safely?
Xiahou and his son remembered that they couldn't eat or sleep well, but today they suddenly knew that the two girls were fine, and Xia Lily came in person, could they not be overjoyed?
They were anxious to go home, but You Shi said that Xia Lihe told her that the Cao family was not good, the third girl had escaped, and maybe something big had happened to the second girl, but the danger had passed.
When Xiahou and his son heard this, they couldn't believe it, and ran home as fast as they could, so Xia Lily heard the footsteps of the big * wave running into the yard.
“……”
“……”
Xiahou father and son looked at Xia Baihe and no one spoke, first, they were in a hurry to catch their breath, and secondly, when they saw that Xia Baihe was now clothed and thin, they could understand that the Cao family really treated her badly!
It was Xia Lily who saluted first: "I've seen my father, eldest brother, and second brother." She knelt down and kowtowed to make a big gift, and she didn't have a burden on it, the life of her daughter was given to her, so she had the opportunity to continue to live, she couldn't repay the original Xia Lily, she could only thank the original owner for her loved ones.
"Three girls!" Xia Hou and his two sons came back to their senses and hurriedly picked up Xia Lily.
"My daughter is not filial, and I haven't been able to serve my father all the time, and my father and brothers have suffered......" Xia Baihe's words were naturally said for the original owner.
"What do we have to suffer, as a courtier, we should be loyal and dutiful," Speaking of being exiled Xiahou is still an iron-clad loyal minister who would rather die than give in, but when he looks at his daughter again, he is a loving father again, "It's just that I pity you, Cao family...... What the hell is going on?"
"My daughter went all the way to Fengcheng, southeast of the Yangtze River, because I was afraid of attracting attention, I was at the small door of the backyard of the Cao family, looking for someone to pass the legend that the Xia family came, but I was quickly taken in, it was the wife of the Cao family who came to see me in person, she knew me, I presented my father's handwritten letter, she said to discuss with Lord Cao, and then got up to leave, I never saw her again......"
"I waited in the hall with Mama Chen, and a group of strong women came in less than a meal, led by the daughter-in-law of the martial arts family, a close confidant of Mrs. Cao, she said that she knew that Mrs. Xia was in trouble, and the old lady was very anxious, and the incense of the Lotus Nunnery outside Nanfeng City was the most effective, please go there to pray for Mrs. Xia......
"I didn't speak at the time, it was the sunset next to me who was anxious first, she said that the third girl in our family is the future young grandmother of your Cao family, how can you treat her like this?"
