Seeing that the green pine loach slipped away, Lin Hui smiled unconsciously, stretched out her hand and motioned for Xiao Shi'an to sit down and speak, added two more pieces of carbon, re-boiled the kettle on the small stove next to her, made a pot of fragrant Tieguanyin, and poured two cups of golden tea soup.

Xiao Shi sat quietly, watching Lin Hui deftly busy, her hands were white and delicate, especially the gesture of pouring tea, which made Xiao Shi'an suddenly recall the time when he was occasionally at his 'ex-wife' in the past, and it seemed that he was ...... At that time, I was like this, so please drink tea by yourself.

No, at that time, it was the maid who made the tea, and she just took it and poured it out, not from beginning to end. As soon as he thought of this, Xiao Shi'an unconsciously turned his head to look around, and said with a smile: "Don't you have anyone to serve here?" It seems to be a little deserted. ”

Lin Hui smiled: "I originally had few people around me, and the Zhuangtou family here didn't stay, and those tenants couldn't do this." ”

She said it very naturally, but Xiao Shi'an didn't listen to it very well. In the past, the first assistant concubine, she was really dressed in brocade clothes and jade food, how could she have done anything by herself? It is rare to be willing to use a needle and thread to make a purse.

In fact, Lin Hui really doesn't think so, there is not much to do in total, and there is really no need for people to serve her. Of course, those sons and ladies of rich and noble families are indeed clothed to stretch out their hands and open their mouths. Lin Hui still remembers that she once read the autobiography of a last emperor, which mentioned that she learned to tie her shoes in a labor camp, and she was quite happy, and it was touching to think about it.

If you don't even know how to take care of yourself, then it is logical to be greedy for wealth and be subject to others everywhere.

"You...... Are you going to leave it at that? Xiao Shi'an asked pointedly.

"What's wrong with that?" Lin Hui asked rhetorically.

Xiao Shi'an froze, in his eyes. Of course, the life of a small farm like Lin Hui is rough, and it can't be compared with the days of Shoufu or the Hou Mansion.

Lin Hui picked up the teacup and tasted it, and asked indifferently, "You didn't really come here to ask me to treat your wife, right?" ”

Xiao Shi'an shook his head, nodded again, looked at the heat floating on the tea cup, and smiled: "I really want to invite you to come over." But there's something else to do. ”

"You don't need to go to the house." Lin Hui said lightly: "Your wife's problem, she knows it herself, and I know it, but I'm afraid you may not know." There is no need to say it to her face, what does she claim. Find someone you can trust. It's probably that Suqin, just discuss it with Su'e. ”

Xiao Shi'an was not surprised by Lin Hui's refusal, but for Zhao Shuyun, he actually had only one question: "I heard that the ointment on your hand is also limited." If you really run out. What will happen to Zhao Shuyun? Will you die? ”

Lin Hui raised her eyebrows: "Who said that you would die without this ointment?" ”

So you can't die? Xiao Shi'an frowned: "But." Her face is really bad, and she has lost a lot of weight......"

Lin Hui sighed slightly. Although it is impossible to live for one's own sin, it is not so easy to die.

"It'll be fine after stopping the medication. But it will probably take ten days and eight days. It's uncomfortable. Lin Hui said very succinctly.

"So, the way she's doing now is because of the ointment?!" Xiao Shi'an was really shocked this time. I thought that Zhao Shuyun was terminally ill, and she relied on the ointment to survive, but listening to Lin Hui's words, it was clearly the opposite!

Lin Huicai didn't answer this question directly, and sneered: "It's so easy to die where the big living people are. The root of Zhao Shuyun's illness is still cold in the lungs, if you want her to be more comfortable, find someone to recuperate for her. If you want her to give up her position quickly, I'm afraid I'll have to think of another idea. ”

In fact, it is a mistake to think that the ancients had poor medical conditions and had a short lifespan and were easy to hang up. In the era when antibiotics did not come to Western medicine and were still in its infancy, although it cannot be compared with modern times, not many people can live to the age of seventy or eighty, but the human body has a strong immune system, in fact, most people can live through the prime of life. The main reason for the low life expectancy is the high rate of infant death, so it is customary in some places to wait until a child is several years old before having an official name.

A person like Zhao Shuyun, who has had no shortage of food and clothing since childhood, has a good physical foundation, and does not go out much and has no chance of contracting infectious diseases, it is far more difficult than Zhao Shuyun himself imagined to really die.

Xiao Shi'an drank the tea in his hand in one gulp, reached out and poured another cup for himself, thought for a moment, and said, "How about selling me the rest of the ointment in your hand?" ”

"Oh?" Lin Hui was actually very happy that someone was willing to take over: "Okay, I just need the identity of the family." I bought three hundred taels of silver for the total of these ointments, and you must also replenish them. ”

This kind of thing is pasting silver upside down, whether you can do it or not.

"Yes." Xiao Shi'an readily agreed: "Eh, where did you buy the materials?" Can I buy it again? ”

"It's in a shop behind the Four Seas Post House, if you want to find it, you can ask the Chen brokers in that area." Lin Hui opened her mouth and didn't hide it.

Xiao Shi'an smiled bitterly, looking at Lin Hui's attitude, he knew that this material must be very rare, but I am afraid that it will be in vain if I look for it.

"If you can really buy the ingredients, you don't have to come to me again." Lin Hui really didn't want to mess with this anymore: "The ointment is a single flavor raw material, just add a little water and fire to boil it." ”

Xiao Shi'an nodded, indicating that he understood: "You really have a lot of things in your hands." I'm actually here today for something else. ”

Could it be that the second master of the Xiao family used to be interested in soul fixing fans in the past? Lin Hui's heart sank, and she didn't ask, just waiting for Xiao Shi'an to say the following.

Xiao Shi'an casually talked about something else: "Mr. Wu came to me two days ago. ”

Mr. Wu? Lin Hui didn't expect who it was, and continued to be silent.

"It's Wu Bang of the Dongjing Palace." Siu Sai On pointed out Mr. Wu's identity.

Of course, this person Lin Hui knows that he is the number one staff member around the four princes, and his eyes are still treated by himself.

"Do you know that the emperor has set up a new firearms workshop in the craftsman's prison, and he is going to imitate the spear of the Gran Kingdom." Xiao Shi'an suddenly mentioned another thing.

Well? Lin Hui didn't know this.

The emperor is still acting quite fast.

Lin Hui narrowed her eyes slightly, but she still couldn't connect what Xiao Shi'an said, but she vaguely felt that it might be related to her ability to make guns.

Xiao Shi'an had been looking at Lin Hui's face, and his voice suddenly quickened: "You have three craftsmen in the mansion in the city, who are proficient in carpentry and ironworking. They used to buy a lot of firecrackers, but they never heard of any happy occasions in your house that needed to be set off. And you actually recognize the spear of the Gran Kingdom. ”

Lin Hui's gaze gradually became cold: "What do you mean?" ”

Xiao Shi'an didn't say where these news came from, whether it was Mr. Wu, a staff member of the Four Princes, or the Xiao family found out on their own. But it's always extremely uncomfortable to know that someone is spying on your home.

"I suspect you're trying to make your own spear." Xiao Shi'an said this very slowly, staring at Lin Hui's eyes as he spoke, so as not to miss any change in expression. (To be continued.) )
