Ji Xiaotang's suggestion surprised Mrs. Ji. In Mrs. Ji's opinion, Ji Xiaotang has a good reason, and he has always hated Gu Xia'er, so he shouldn't think about Gu Xia'er like this.

After being surprised, Mrs. Ji quickly figured it out.

"Xiaotang, this child, in the final analysis, is a member of the Ji family, with a good heart and thoughtful thinking." To be honest, she herself didn't think about Gu Xia'er's aftermath at all. Moreover, according to her thoughts, since Gu Xia'er married into the Jiang family, no matter what, she is a member of the Jiang family.

But since Ji Xiaotang said so, Mrs. Ji would not say anything contrary.

"That's fine. Xia'er's child, this life is also pitiful. Mrs. Ji sighed.

Regarding how Gu Xia'er died, Second Master Ji did not tell all the truth to Mrs. Ji, only said that he was killed by Jiang Qingshan.

Gu Lei'er's coffin is still in the Liuxian Temple outside the city, and it was not sent to the ancestral tomb of the Hui family for burial, and now the bones of Gu's uncle, Jiang and Gu Xia'er are all collected and sent to the Liuxian Temple for temporary storage.

"You have to find Xue'er," Mrs. Ji was not angry with Uncle Gu for eating inside and outside and bringing people to attack Ji's mansion, but Uncle Gu's family was miserable, and Mrs. Ji was only sad. And some of her deep-rooted thoughts, thinking that the Gu family did not leave a drop of blood and bones, which was too difficult for her to accept, even after death, she did not have the face to see her parents.

"To live is to see people, and to die is to see corpses." Old Mrs. Ji almost begged for the second master Ji. She hopes that Gu Xue'er is still alive, so that at least someone can wear linen and filial piety for Uncle Gu.

"The old lady is relieved. I'll arrange for someone to look for it. Second Master Ji could only say, in fact, he didn't have much hope in his heart about whether Gu Xue'er could live.

In this way, the aftermath of Uncle Gu's family is properly arranged. Ji Xiaotang came out of Mrs. Ji's yard, walked back along the courtyard wall of Mrs. Ji, and walked a short distance when he met Xiu'er who came around from the kitchen.

Xiu'er carefully carried a food box in her hand, and saluted when she saw Ji Xiaotang busy.

"How's the other guy?" Ji Xiaotang asked Xiu'er in a hurry.

"Back to the girl's words, Lang Zhong saw that he gave Gongzi Xie a prescription, saying that Gongzi Xie's life was saved for the time being." Xiu'er replied hurriedly. "The second girl has been taking care of Gongzi Xie and has not taken care of eating. The maid went to the kitchen and made some food for the second girl. ”

"Good." Ji Xiaotang nodded, and took Xiu'er and other girls to the small study at the back.

Many parts of the Ji family have been destroyed. It needs to be repaired, only this small study is located in a remote area, and there are usually few people to come, and there are no precious furnishings. So there was little damage.

At that time, Xie Huaijin's situation was urgent. Ji Xiaotang wanted a place to settle him, and the first thing he thought of was here.

Xie Huaijin's identity is also more secure here, and it is more able to avoid people's eyes.

Walking all the way, Ji Xiaotang naturally thought of the scene at that time. Xie Huaijin was stabbed by Xie Ziqian's knife, and was kicked by Xie Ziqian and hit the wall, and everyone present at the time, including Ji Xiaotang. They all thought that Xie Huaijin was dead.

Especially Ji Xiaotang, because this scene is for her. is the recurrence of the nightmare, the only difference is that in her previous life, because she was defenseless, she did not recognize Xie Ziqian, so it can be said that she did not suspect Xie Ziqian at all.

In this life, as soon as she met, she broke Xie Ziqian's identity, and thus understood many things that she didn't understand in her previous life.

For example, in the situation last night, how did Xie Huaijin, a scholar, break through many obstacles and get to the library pavilion, for example, why did Xie Huaijin ask to die.

The former is of course because those men in black know Xie Huaijin, and the latter is because Xie Huaijin knows Xie Ziqian's identity.

Anyway, when Qi Younian arrived and Xie Ziqian fell, Ji Xiaotang heard a **, Xie Huaijin opened his eyes, and just happened to see Xie Ziqian falling from an arrow.

Xie Huaijin then closed his eyes again, but Ji Xiaotang was pleasantly surprised to find that Xie Huaijin still had a breath.

In the chaos, Ji Xiaotang tried his best to stop Xie Huaijin's bleeding, and put a century-old ginseng slice in his mouth, which hung Xie Huaijin's breath. She followed Qi Younian to the county government, and had already arranged for someone to ask Lang Zhong to treat Xie Huaijin, and let her girl take care of Xie Huaijin.

What she didn't expect was Ji Xiaoyun.

Ji Xiaoyun came out of the secret room, and at the first sight of such a bloody scene, her face turned pale with fright, and her hands trembled so much that she could barely hold the teacup, but after discovering Xie Huaijin's situation, Ji Xiaoyun was not afraid of Xie Huaijin, who was covered in blood.

Fang Cai never saw Ji Xiaoyun in Mrs. Ji's house, Ji Xiaotang was still a little strange, and now he knew that Ji Xiaoyun was taking care of Xie Huaijin.

Ji Xiaotang thought so, turned a shadow wall, and saw Ji Xiaoyun. Ji Xiaoyun was guarding a small stove under the corridor of the small study to decoct medicine, and she also held a small fan in her hand.

There is no one else by Ji Xiaoyun's side.

"How can you let the second girl decoct the medicine herself?" Ji Xiaotang stepped forward and spoke first.

Xiu'er didn't say anything, but the door of the small study opened, and Lamei walked out quickly and saluted Ji Xiaotang timidly.

"The maid wants to decoct the medicine, the second girl must do it herself, and let the maid watch Gongzi Xie in the house."

Ji Xiaotang frowned slightly.

Ji Xiaoyun also stood up at this time.

"Xiaotang, I'm going to decoct the medicine, don't blame Lamei." Seeing that Ji Xiaotang's eyes were full of puzzlement, Ji Xiaoyun hurriedly explained, "Li Langzhong said that half of the effect of this medicine depends on the heat of the decoction. I'm afraid that the girl will be careless, so I can rest assured when I look at it. ”

"Even so, you should go to the house. It's so cold outside, what if it's freezing? Ji Xiaotang had already seen that Ji Xiaoyun's hands were frozen red.

Moreover, Ji Xiaoyun has been pampered since she was a child, except for the days when she went to Huaiyuan after getting married, how could she have suffered any hardships, and she had never done such rough work.

"It's not cold, I'm wearing a thick one." Ji Xiaoyun smiled, and explained to Ji Xiaotang very carefully, "You can't be in the house, Huai Jin is injured, how can you smoke it." If I go to the side room to decoct the medicine. I couldn't hear any movement in the house. ”

"Also, Xiaotang, you don't know, I know how to decoction. You used to be out with your parents. The old lady was sick, and I personally decocted the old lady with medicine. The old ladies all praise me for being more careful than the girls. ”

Ji Xiaoyun is like this, so Ji Xiaotang can't say anything more. It just so happened that Ji Xiaoyun had already fried the medicine and asked Lamei to bring the medicine bowl, and she poured a bowl of medicine with the medicine jar.

Ji Xiaoyun's movements were a little clumsy, but her expression was very serious. Even if he was splashed on his hand by the hot liquid, he didn't even realize it.

"How is Brother Huaijin?" Lamei lifted the curtain, and Ji Xiaotang and Ji Xiaoyun walked into the house. Ji Xiaotang asked Ji Xiaoyun first.

Ji Xiaoyun's face showed a sad expression.

Li Langzhong came to see it and said that he had saved his life for the time being, but he couldn't say that Huai Jin was too seriously injured. Able to breathe a sigh of relief. It's already rare. …… It's been half a day, and he hasn't woken up. ”

There is a short kang near the window of the small study, and Xie Huaijin is placed on the short kang. Ji Xiaotang walked to the kang and lowered his head to check. Xie Huaijin's eyes were closed, his face was pale, and there was no blood on his lips. If it weren't for the slight undulation of the quilt covering his chest, it almost made people wonder if he was still alive at the moment.

Xie Huaijin's situation is really not optimistic.

Ji Xiaoyun put the medicine on the table on the side, and waited for the medicine to cool before feeding it to Xie Huaijin. She has been by Mrs. Ji's side for many years. Mrs. Ji dotes on her, and she serves Mrs. Ji very hard. Therefore, it is very thoughtful and appropriate in such matters.

"Xiaotang, you say, will Huai Jin get better?" Ji Xiaoyun walked to Ji Xiaotang's side, also lowered her head to look at Xie Huaijin, and asked Ji Xiaotang in a low voice.

This question made Ji Xiaotang very embarrassed, so he didn't reply immediately.

"No one specifically told me, but I heard some of them." Ji Xiaoyun continued to whisper, "Lord Xie wants to rebel, I know that rebellion is a big crime, and the whole family will be beheaded." Mrs. Xie committed suicide and died, leaving Huai Jin alone. They...... They're not going to let him go, are they? ”

"Yes." Ji Xiaotang replied.

"Xiaotang," Ji Xiaoyun grabbed one of Ji Xiaotang's sleeves, and his big eyes were watery. "You, you won't ignore Xie Huaijin, right? You could have avoided him, but you did. You're not going to watch him being captured and beheaded, are you? ”

On this issue, Ji Xiaoyun is quite keen. If Ji Xiaotang didn't plan to save Xie Huaijin, it would be much more convenient for everyone to let Xie Huaijin die at that time.

The reason why Ji Xiaotang went to the county government to find the genealogy of the Xie family was, of course, because Xie Huaijin was still alive. Otherwise, why would she meddle in such a thing.

"Of course I want to save Brother Huaijin, but this matter is ...... Hard. Ji Xiaotang said.

Xie Huaijin suffered such an injury, and in order to recover, he must need a large number of rare medicinal materials. However, this is still easy for Ji Xiaotang. The difficult thing is that Xie Huaijin, as Xie Ziqian's son, even if he did not participate in the rebellion, he is still guilty.

Moreover, I am afraid that there are still some people who want to get something from Xie Huaijin.

In any way, Xie Huaijin's prospects are very bleak.

Ji Xiaotang had thought of these things a long time ago, but she still agreed to Mrs. Xie's dying request. Even if there was no entrustment from Mrs. Xie, she would not watch Xie Huaijin suffer or not.

Not only because Mrs. Xie treated her well, but also because Xie Huaijin was infatuated with her.

She likes Mrs. Xie and Xie Huaijin.

Therefore, no matter how difficult it is, she has to find a way and will not give up. The people she cares about, no one can move.

Perhaps it was the change in the expression on Ji Xiaotang's face that made Ji Xiaoyun misunderstand.

"Xiaotang, let's save Huaijin, will my father and mother agree. Huaijin wants to get better, and it takes a lot of money. Our house has been robbed, and I don't know how many are left. Moreover, there is a great drought in the world, many people are starving to death, and our family is no better than before. …… I, my dowry, my grandmother said at the time, no matter what happens in the future, it will still be mine. ”

Ji Xiaotang was thinking about how to save Xie Huaijin, and he didn't hear what Ji Xiaoyun was saying at first, until Ji Xiaoyun talked about the dowry, Ji Xiaotang looked up at Ji Xiaoyun strangely.

Ji Xiaoyun showed a guilty expression on her face, and her hands were nervously clasped together.

"I'm not trying to fight for those things, I mean, I mean, I don't have to use my father and mother to embezzle other expenses, just use the money from my dowry. …… If those hadn't been robbed......"

Ji Xiaoyun said this, and seemed to bow her head uncomfortably.

Only then did Ji Xiaotang understand. Ji Xiaoyun was worried about something. She was a little funny, and at the same time a little sad.

"I'm still talking about it as a sister. Huai Jin's brother's medicine, my sister can rest assured. Daddy and mother's person. Brother Huaijin will only be more attentive than us, where will he be stingy with money. If you see how our family treats those victims, you should know. Ji Xiaotang told Ji Xiaoyun.

Ji Xiaoyun nodded.

"However, Huai Jin is here, and it will affect our family. My father and mother will always think about us as a family, and I'm a little worried. ”

Ji Xiaoyun's stature was originally taller than Ji Xiaotang, but this year Xiaotang grew up faster. It's almost as tall as Ji Xiaoyun. Now that Ji Xiaoyun has her head down, Ji Xiaotang can see the top of her brain at a glance.

After going through so many things, Ji Xiaoyun has finally grown up. Ji Xiaotang sighed in his heart. almost raised his hand to touch the top of Ji Xiaoyun's hair. Nominally, Ji Xiaoyun is her sister, but in the eyes of Ji Xiaotang, who was reborn once, Ji Xiaoyun is more like a sister.

But. In the end, Ji Xiaotang did not stretch out his hand. Because that would be too weird, I'm afraid Ji Xiaoyun won't be able to understand it.

"Daddy and mother are not people who are afraid of being implicated, and besides, we will always think of a way." Ji Xiaotang's tone was such an affirmation, and Ji Xiaoyun, who was used to seeing her doing things like this, suddenly breathed a sigh of relief.

No matter what happens, Xiaotang will always have a way.

"Xiaotang, I can't help with other things, I will take good care of Huaijin. …… When the time comes. Well, give you a healthy Huaijin...... Brother. Ji Xiaoyun's appearance. It's almost cheerful.

Ji Xiaotang smiled and didn't speak.

"It's time for the medicine to be cold." Ji Xiaoyun said, and asked Ji Xiaotang to help, and the two raised Xie Huaijin's pillow. Afterwards, Ji Xiaoyun brought the medicine, and without the girls doing anything, she personally fed Xie Huaijin with a spoon.

"Lang Zhong said that as long as Huai Jin can take the medicine, there is hope." Ji Xiaoyun said on the other hand, this is why she attaches so much importance to this medicine and must decoct it herself.

Ji Xiaoyun fed Xie Huaijin two spoonfuls of medicine in a row, but the medicinal juice flowed down the corners of Xie Huaijin's mouth.

Ji Xiaoyun was a little stunned, and her hand holding the medicine bowl was a little unsteady.

"I'll try." Ji Xiaotang said, while taking the medicine from the hesitant Ji Xiaoyun, he sat on the side of the kang. "Brother Huaijin, I've taken medicine."

Ji Xiaotang called softly and tentatively fed the medicine to Xie Huaijin.

Just when she and Ji Xiaoyun were almost in despair, Xie Huaijin's lips squirmed slightly.

A bowl of medicine, it took Ji Xiaotang almost a quarter of an hour to feed Xie Huaijin.

If he can take the medicine, Xie Huaijin will be able to save his life.

Xie Huaijin took the medicine, but still didn't open his eyes, and fell asleep drowsily. Ji Xiaotang still has too many things to do, and he can't always stay by Xie Huaijin's side.

"Xiaotang, you are busy with your going, I am here to guard him. If he wakes up, I'll have someone tell you. Ji Xiaoyun said, Xie Huaijin can take the medicine, Ji Xiaoyun was so happy that she almost cried.

To take care of Xie Huaijin, it doesn't have to be Ji Xiaoyun.

"I'll arrange for a proper girl to serve here." Ji Xiaotang said to Ji Xiaoyun, "Sister, don't be tired, and besides, there is also grandmother." "Ji Xiaoyun has not been by Mrs. Ji's side for a long time, and Mrs. Ji will definitely be worried.

"Then I'll go see my grandmother first and talk to her." Ji Xiaoyun hesitated for a moment, seeing that Xie Huaijin did not show the slightest sign of waking up, and then said.

Ji Xiaotang and Ji Xiaoyun left the small study, leaving Xiu'er to take care of Xie Huaijin with the little girl.

"When something like this happened to Huai Jin's family, I was worried that the people who served him would not be dedicated. Those subordinates have two faces. On the way, Ji Xiaoyun suddenly whispered to Ji Xiaotang.

When Ji Xiaoyun said these words, the expression on her face was gloomy.

When did she understand these conditions? Ji Xiaotang immediately understood that this was obviously because of Ji Xiaoyun's experience in the Huaiyuan Qin family.

"That's why I arranged for embroidery." Ji Xiaotang said.

"However, Xiu'er should take care of you more." Ji Xiaoyun said.

……

The grain purchased by Master Ji San from Nanyang was transported to Qingyuan that afternoon, which solved the urgent need of the people of Qingyuan. Because Xie Zhixian is dead, and many officials of the county government are also suffering in the turmoil last night, Qingyuan County's affairs will be temporarily taken over by Qi Younian, waiting for another member of the imperial court to come and take over.

Qi Younian took care of the matter and came to the Ji family. He brought the latest news from the anti-thief.

Mu Hong and his son achieved a great victory in Mujiazhai, and all the thieves who poured into Ren'an Mansion were almost wiped out. Xie Ziqian's identity has been confirmed, and he is indeed a greedy wolf who is one of the three leaders of the anti-thieves. However, the whereabouts of the other two leaders of the anti-thieves, Seven Kills and Broken Army, are unknown.

At the same time that Qingyuan suffered a catastrophe, the turmoil in various parts of Daqin also intensified.

Qi Younian was ordered to be in danger, not only was the official promoted to the third rank, but also held a quarter of the tiger talisman, which could mobilize the officers and soldiers of all the guards north of the Yellow River in the Great Qin Territory, except for the Northern Frontier Army. He was responsible for clearing up the rebels and rebels north of the Yellow River.

The whole place has become like this, and the one on the dragon chair can't sit still.

"Prince Jing'an has received his will, and he will come to Qingyuan in the near future." Qi Younian told Ji Xiaotang.

The emperor gave the Prince of Jing'an Shang Fang a sword, and gave the Prince of Jing'an a secret decree, so that the Prince of Jing'an was fully responsible for clearing the anti-thieves, quelling the civil unrest, disaster relief and many other matters, and had full authority to try the case of Xie Ziqian's rebellion.

Obviously, Xie Ziqian's rebellion case is the top priority of Prince Jing'an's mission to Beijing, so his first destination after leaving Beijing is Qingyuan.

Knowing that Qin Zhen was coming, Ji Xiaotang's eyes darkened. Their family escaped Xie Ziqian's siege, and then can they escape the net of the current royal family. (To be continued......)
