Chapter 377: Lao Xiu Returns

The two of them were tired of being in the room for a while, Xia Xue and Mama Xi made lunch, seeing that the young lady's room had not moved for a long time, and seeing that the food was going to be cold, Xia Xue was a little anxious.

These dishes should be eaten hot to be delicious.

I don't know what the prince and the young lady were talking about in the house, and there was no movement for a long time. Although she was a little curious, Xia Xue didn't have the courage to knock on the door of the young lady's room. I was worried about this matter, and I saw Shigego walking towards their yard from a distance.

Chongwu had something important to tell the prince, and when he learned that the prince had come to Concubine Duan, he immediately came. Seeing a maid in the courtyard of Concubine Duan hesitating at the door, looking like she wanted to knock on the door but didn't dare to knock on the door, she thought it was very interesting.

Xia Xue saw that it was Chongwu, and returned the salute generously. Although it is not obvious on the face, it is very happy in the heart.

Chongwu took in the excitement that flashed on Xia Xue's face, looked at her strangely, and asked, "Is the prince here at Concubine Duan?" ”

Xia Xue nodded hurriedly.

"Please tell me what to do."

"Okay." Xia Xue was not happy to agree, turned around and knocked on the door, "Lord Wang, Niangniang, the heavy guard has something important to tell the prince, and he is waiting outside." ”

The couple who were still hugging each other in the room, hearing the sound, looked at each other helplessly, and had to let go of each other.

Shen Ya blushed at the moment and lowered her head and didn't dare to look at Zhao Jin.

Zhao Jin thought it was funny when he saw her like this, but he didn't tear her down, brushed the broken hair in front of her forehead for her, and said, "I'll go out and have a look." ”

"Yes." Shen Ya responded like a little daughter-in-law.

Zhao Jin lifted the curtain and walked out of the inner room.

When I opened the door, I saw Xia Xue and Shigego standing outside.

"See the prince." The two hurriedly saluted him.

Zhao Jin nodded. seems to be in a good mood, and the momentum on her body is a little less, so that Xia Xue is not so afraid.

Shigego stepped forward and said, "Master." Subordinates have important things to report. ”

"Yes." Zhao Jin didn't say much, looked at Shen Ya in the house, and saw her nodding, so he left the courtyard with Chongwu. It looks like I'm going to go to the study to discuss important matters.

Shen Ya walked out of the room and looked at Zhao Jin's departing back.

"Miss?" Xia Xue stepped forward, and after a long while, she saw that the young lady was still looking at the direction of the courtyard gate stupidly, and couldn't help but remind her. This prince has been gone for a while. The young lady has not yet come to her senses.

Shen Ya turned her head when she heard the sound, and when she saw Xia Xue looking at her strangely, she couldn't help but blush. "That. What time is it? ”

"Miss, it's noon, do you want to have lunch now?"

When Shen Ya heard that it was already noon, she touched her stomach and felt really hungry. Nodding his head, "Of course." Your young lady is dying of hunger. Hurry. ”

Xia Xue saw that Miss was still in the mood to joke with her, thinking that she should have a good chat with the prince, and suddenly her mood soared, and she responded happily: "Yes!" With that, he ran to the kitchen.

Mama Xi was anxious waiting in the kitchen.

Dongchun came out of the ear room, saw Xia Xue's happy face, and her heart moved, and she looked in the direction of the young lady's room, and saw that the young lady was looking at the courtyard door in a daze. There was a silly smile on his face. The sun shone on her, adding a layer of warmth. I don't know if it's the person who warms the sun, or the sun that warms the person.

It seems that the knot in the young lady's heart has been untied. Dongchun thought with some relief. Seeing Miss's happy face, Dongchun was also happy for Miss from the bottom of her heart.

After being happy for a while, he suddenly remembered a woman, and his smile quickly disappeared.

She remembered that the girl Su Wen who was between the young lady and the prince... After all, it's a thorn in the young lady's heart.

Zhao Jin and Chongwu came to the outside of the study, pushed the door and entered the room, and saw a familiar figure standing in the backlight of the room.

His eyes flashed and he said, "Master, you're back." ”

Lao Xiu touched his beard with a smile and turned around, glanced up and down at the apprentice, he hadn't seen him for a few months, the apprentice seemed to be more plump and handsome, the old man nodded with satisfaction and said, "Is it okay in the house?" ”

Zhao Jin smiled and nodded.

Lao Xiu knew that with the ability of his apprentice, nothing big would happen.

"Your mother, how is she?" Lao Xiu hesitated for a while, but finally couldn't resist the inner struggle and asked.

Seeing him like this, Zhao Jin didn't say much, and his tone didn't hesitate at all: "My mother is fine." ”

"That's good, that's good." When Lao Xiu heard his apprentice say this, he finally let go of his hanging heart, and he had nothing to worry about in his heart, and he was in a good mood.

"Come on, come on, sit here, we haven't seen our master and apprentice for many days, let's have a good chat today." Lao Xiu beckoned his apprentice to the coffee table by the south window, and at the same time asked Wen Xiang to prepare tea, and sat down to start talking about business.

Zhao Jin hadn't seen Lao Xiu for a long time, although his face was calm, but his heart was also quite happy. Although his attitude towards Lao Xiu has always been lukewarm on weekdays, from the bottom of his heart, he is the only one he is most grateful and admires the master.

He sat down opposite Lao Xiu as he said.

"Master, Lujiacun and his entourage, I don't know if we have found the specific location of the gold mine."

"Hmm." Lao Xiu touched his beard happily, it was rare to see him so well-behaved, and he was willing to call him Master, he naturally would not disappoint this apprentice.

Thinking like this, he took out an inconspicuous, gray stone from his sleeve and handed it to Zhao Jin.

Zhao Jin hesitated for a moment, stretched out his hand to take it, and saw that Lao Xiu had a confident smile in his eyes, his heart moved, and he looked down at the stone in his hand.

At this moment, his right hand suddenly exerted force, grasping the stone tightly, and in an instant, the stone turned into powder, and a small golden object appeared in his hand.

"You found it?" Zhao Jin's eyes were fixed on the golden object in his eyes, and his eyes were crossed with surprise, more ecstasy.

Lao Xiu nodded quite complacently.

Even if he was as calm as Zhao Jin, he couldn't help but stand up excitedly at this time, and made a long bow to Lao Xiu, "Thank you, Master." ”

Seeing this, Lao Xiu touched his beard under his chin with relief, nodded, and said with a smile: "The old man not only found a gold mine this time, but also found a lot of rare medicinal materials, this time I went to Lujia Village, it is really worth it." ”

It was rare for Zhao Jin to see Lao Xiu so happy, it seemed that the trip to Lujia Village had gained a lot, and he was also happy for his master.

Master has been obsessed with medical skills for most of his life, and in his opinion, there is nothing more joyful than finding a good medicinal herb.

Therefore, this gold mine is not the happiest place for Lao Xiu.

"However, this time I went to Lujia Village, I met an acquaintance?" Lao Xiu remembered the people he met in Lujia Village this time, and his face showed a trace of doubt.

Seeing that he was so cautious, Zhao Jin put away the joy of being a suitable talent, sat back in his chair, and asked, "Who is it?"

"You know both." The old cultivator mysteriously sold a pass, thinking that it was the two of them, but he didn't care much. "It's General Zhao and his son Zhao Shaonan." General Zhao is well-known in Beijing for his upright temper, uprightness and the like, and Lao Xiu has always had a good impression of him.

"Zhao Shaonan?" Zhao Jin was slightly surprised when he heard this name.

"They seem to be there looking for something, too. The mountain is so big, why do you want to find that place, this is the place that makes the old man the most incomprehensible. Lao Xiu touched his beard under his chin and wondered.

Zhao Jin pondered for a moment, and at this time, he remembered Shen Ya for some reason.

He remembered that the relationship between Shen Ya and Zhao Shaonan was very unusual.

Perhaps, she will know.

Seeing that Zhao Jin fell into deep thought, thinking that he had thought of something crucial, Lao Xiu didn't bother him, and drank tea by himself. After taking a sip, I couldn't help but squint my eyes, and nodded with satisfaction, Wen Xiang's tea-making technique has improved a lot.

The more Lao Xiu thought about it, the more satisfied he became, and he felt that his life was worth it. took in two apprentices who made him so satisfied.

It's just that the only regret he feels is that the emotional path of these two apprentices is not very smooth.

A good one because a woman's temperament changed overnight, and one still finds his belonging. Speaking of which, Wen Xiang is not young, and she has not found a suitable person yet.

He raised these two children as if they were his own children, although the old saying is that children and grandchildren have their own children and grandchildren, but he is old, and when the little seventh son sits in that seat, he can also go into hiding without worry. It's just that before leaving the capital, he still hopes that the two children will have their own belonging.

Lao Xiu stroked his beard, looked at Zhao Jin who was contemplative, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

Now that Xiao Qizi and Shen Yatou are getting along, I only hope that the two of them can finally achieve perfection. Shen Yatou is a good child, and Lao Xiu is very relieved to hand over the little seventh son to her.

It's just that the relationship between the two has been tepid before he left, and Lao Xiu is very worried about this.

+++++

Soon after Zhao Jin left, Shen Ya learned the news of Lao Xiu's return to his home.

Thinking of the snowball that had been dormant, Shen Ya was so anxious that she couldn't wait to immediately hold the snowball and go to Lao Xiu. At this time, she didn't care if it would arouse his suspicions. As long as it can cure Snowball's disease.

Although the weird veterinarian she met before had already explained the reason why Snowball would fall into dormancy, it was impossible for her to return to Lujia Village for a while, so she still hoped to find another way to see if she could alleviate some of the damage to Snowball.

Lao Xiu was now her only hope.

"Miss, no, the prince is discussing something important with the divine doctor, it's not appropriate for us to disturb at this time." Xia Xue originally ran back excitedly to tell Miss SΓΉ the good news, because she wanted to make Shen Ya happy, but when Miss heard the news of Lao Xiu's return, it was as if she had taken a stimulant, so she had to hold the snowball to find Lao Xiu, and she couldn't stop it.

The anxious Xia Xue was about to cry.

What is she doing? If Miss interfered with the prince to discuss important matters with the divine doctor and blamed Miss, wouldn't she become a sinner?

That's unacceptable.

It's a pity that once Shen Ya decides something, ten cows can't pull it back. What's more, it's something related to snowballs.

And Shen Ya has always known how to measure, she dares to be sure, even if she takes the snowball to Zhao Jin, Zhao Jin will not blame her. (To be continued......)
