Shen Xi meditates in the medicine field. It wasn't until the evening that Zhuang called for dinner, and Shen Xi got up. Just then, a man was riding a horse. This is a sight that has never been seen before.

Shen Xi stood still, looking at the people who hurried forward. This person, with a lofty spirit, a broad forehead and a straight nose, and a dignified appearance, is none other than Mr. Zhao, the owner of Jishitang.

How did he come here? Shen Xi frowned and pondered.

Zhao Ji turned over and dismounted, looking familiar, "Little girl, I'm looking for you." ”

Shen Xi was confused, "What is Uncle Zhao's important matter to me?" ”

Zhao Ji asked, "Can you grow fairy spirit grass, do you still have fairy spirit ointment?" ”

Shen Xi pointed to the copper plate in the medicine field and said, "Look, I just got it today, and it looks like it's about ten catties." ”

Zhao Ji clapped his hands, "It's so good!" Little girl, you've helped me a lot. He pressed Shen Xi's shoulder excitedly.

Seeing that Shen Xi hadn't come in for most of the day, Zhuang thought she hadn't heard, so he came out and shouted. But when she saw a man putting his hand on Shen Xi's shoulder, she was shocked, thinking that he was a wicked person, and angrily reprimanded, "What person! ”

Zhao Ji raised his head and looked at the Zhuang family.

Zhuang was startled, and for some reason, he immediately covered his face with his sleeve and began to be at a loss.

Seeing this, Shen Xi was inexplicable, but he still answered truthfully, "Mother, this is Mr. Zhao from Jishitang, and the fairy spirit paste was sold to him that day." ”

Zhao Ji's face also changed slightly, but he pretended to be calm and saluted the Zhuang family, "This is the lady of the Shen family." Zhao Ji was polite. Today, come to buy fairy spirit ointment, please make it convenient for the Shen family. ”

Zhuang turned around and said coldly: "You can talk to my daughter about this matter." With that, she went into the house.

What is the situation, Shen Xi is really confused, as if he has broken into some labyrinth with no exit, extremely chaotic. Shen Xi asked thoughtlessly, "Uncle Zhao, can you meet my mother?" ”

Zhao Ji smiled awkwardly, "I used to recognize it." Presumably after a long time, your mother forgot. ”

"When and where did you meet?" Shen Xi was full of curiosity.

Zhao Ji smiled bitterly, "Your mother and I used to be neighbors and have known each other since childhood. ”

"Oh, I remember, my mother was originally from Yueting Town. Presumably, after getting married, I haven't seen my uncle, so it should be normal if I can't recognize it. Shen Xi felt that this was not a bad thing, so he didn't delve into it, or the business was important, "Uncle Zhao, how much do you need to buy today?" ”

Zhao Ji said quickly: "All of them, all of them." ”

Shen Xiwei asked, "Are you in such a hurry?" This thing doesn't seem to be able to treat emergencies, even if someone needs it, Uncle Zhao's cabinet must be in full swing. Why come here in person today? ”

Zhao Ji said distressedly: "Somehow, overnight, the people of the entire Yueting Town have contracted rat plague and are in urgent need of fairy spirit ointment. Yong'an Hall originally had a lot of fairy spirit cream, but Zhao Yong, who was black-eyed, actually raised the price of fairy spirit paste by ten times, and ordinary people couldn't afford it at all. I really couldn't see it, so I sold it at the usual price, but it wasn't enough, and I really had no choice but to come to you. ”

Shen Xi nodded, "I see." Then Uncle Zhao will wait for me for a while, and wait for me to cut the fairy ointment. ”

Zhao Ji said: "Then as soon as possible, there is no delay for the dead in the town every moment." ”

Shen Xi moved quickly and quickly cut it.

Zhao Ji brought his own copper box and packed all the fairy spirit paste away, "Little girl, you have helped me a lot. He took out a bag of silver and handed it to Shen Xi, "This is a hundred taels, you take it first." ”

Shen Xi was not polite and accepted it directly.

Zhao Ji glanced at the medicine field and asked, "Little girl, when will your fairy spirit grass mature?" ”

"It's early, it's going to take at least a month."

"It's a shame." Zhao Jizhi shook his head, "There are so many people in the town, these ten catties are not enough at all." What can I do? ”

Shen Xi asked, "How many people are sick?" ”

Zhao Ji replied, "At least five or six hundred." ”

"So much!" Shen Xi was so shocked that his jaw was about to drop, "How can this be?" ”

"God knows, everyone got sick overnight, and basically the whole family got sick together." Zhao Jizhi shook his head.

Shen Xi decided to help, "Uncle Zhao, I actually know that there is a fairy spirit grass in a hidden place. ”

Zhao Ji's eyes lit up, "Really? That's wonderful. Then I'll come back tomorrow to get it. ”

Shen Xi waved his hand again and again and said, "It can't be so fast." And, I can't go out at all right now. ”

"What do you mean by that?" Zhao Ji became nervous.

Shen Xi pointed to the medicine field, "Uncle Zhao, you have also seen it, I am guarding this medicine field at home on weekdays." Because, as soon as I leave, someone will come and make trouble. Many people are jealous of my herbs, and I will never leave home. ”

Zhao Ji frowned and thought, "In that case, tomorrow, I will send a few family members over to guard the medicine field for you." You go out and pick herbs. Isn't that good? ”

Shen Xi's face was happy, "This couldn't be better!" ”

The matter was decided, and Zhao Ji got on the horse and left. Shen Xi also returned to the house and prepared to eat. The others didn't move their chopsticks, waiting for her. Shen Xi pushed a hundred taels of silver in front of the Zhuang family and said, "Mother, my daughter has made a windfall and handed it over to the treasury. ”

Zhuang pulled the corners of his mouth very reluctantly and said, "Xi'er, you have the most ability." ”

Shen Xi saw Zhuang's strange expression, so he asked: "Mother, Mr. Zhao said that he has known you since he was a child, isn't it that there is a festival between you." ”

"What words? Don't talk nonsense, how could your mother have anything to do with him, I can't remember. Zhuang's expression was strange, his eyes flickered, and he deliberately avoided Shen Xi's eyes. She pointed at the vegetables with her chopsticks, "Eat quickly." ”

Shen Xi pouted, "Oh, eat." ”

Shen Xi didn't inquire about this matter again, but he couldn't help but think about it in his heart. What does Zhao Ji have to do with the Zhuang family, looking at how these two people cover up and twist and pinch, it is extremely weird.

Could it be that Zhao Ji also had any bad thoughts about the Zhuang family before, which made the Zhuang family reject him so much, and even covered his face with his sleeves, unwilling to look at him directly. Shen Xi's affection for Zhao Ji vanished, and he and Wang Laiqi were grouped together.

But if you think about it carefully, if this is the case, the Zhuang family should not run away by herself and leave her to Zhao Ji. Zhuang is not such a person. In other words, what has happened between these two people. If it weren't for your affection, Zhuang wouldn't have avoided it.

Shen Xi felt that Zhao Ji didn't seem to be so unbearable. Shen Xi thought about this matter, not because he wanted to know the secrets of the Zhuang family, but because he wanted Zhao Ji to send his family tomorrow, if the Zhuang family refused, it would be troublesome.

You have to ask her about this. Shen Xi put down the dishes and chopsticks and said, "Mother, I want to go up the mountain tomorrow." ”

"This ......" Zhuang was very nervous, presumably it was the Wang family's strong marriage, which made her feel palpitations.

"Mother, I'm going up to the mountain to pick herbs. And I told Mr. Zhao that he would send a few family members to help us take care of the house. When the time comes, you can give them something to eat. You say, okay? Shen Xi secretly looked at Zhuang.

Zhuang didn't object at all, "Since you've already said it, so be it." ”

Shen Xi breathed a sigh of relief, it seemed that the Zhuang family was not too disgusted with Zhao Ji. Zhao Ji must not have used it before. Between the two of them, there must be something boring.
