A happy visit from relatives almost turned into a murder case, Jiang Tong didn't dare to eat the frightened meal of his mother's family, and hurriedly said goodbye, and when Yu Wuya and a few guards arrived, Wang Qingsleeve had been carried to the bed and lay down, and after Chen Xu washed the blood on his face, he was boiling ginseng soup.

Nima wasted several of my hundred-year-old ginseng, and finally raised it to be able to walk on the ground, but now it's good, and the remaining three old ginseng can't seem to be saved!

Chen Xu sighed for a long time, lamenting that his years were not good.

"Engong, it's Wuya's poor guard!" Yu Wuya stood next to him and said with a ashamed face.

"I don't blame you, only a thousand days to be a thief, there is no reason to prevent thieves for a thousand days, he wants to kill me for a long time, you can keep me for a while, and you can't guard me for a lifetime, to completely solve this matter, you must send her away as soon as possible, Wuyan, after Miss Wang gets a little better, you simply send her to Wancheng, and at the same time inquire about the news of the water girl by the way, now that the cold winter is coming, I am very worried......"

"Good!" Yu Wuya nodded.

Wang Qingsleeve's injury this time was not serious, but because the internal injury was not healed, coupled with the vomiting of blood caused by the impatience of the heart, he woke up slowly after taking the ginseng soup for only half an hour.

Seeing Chen Xu standing beside his bed, Wang Qingsleeve sat up with the support of the maid and said very angrily: "I want to kill you, why don't you kill me?" ”

"Why should I kill you? Are you going to use your own death to pull me back, your father is Wang Ben, the Marquis of Tongwu, your grandfather is the general Wang Qian, your Wang family is deeply affected by the emperor's enlong, if I kill you, I will definitely be killed, and you will achieve your goal, right? Chen Xu shrugged and said.

"I'm not as mean as you think!" Wang Qingsleeve's eyes widened.

"Then I'm despicable? Your fiancé Zhao Zhe is narrow-minded, just for a small personal grudge to communicate with the mountain bandits to rob the summer grain tax in Qinghe Town, with the intention of framing me, this kind of scum did not kill him on the spot is already his luck, as the daughter of the Marquis of Tongwu, you should be sensible, but indiscriminately want to kill me twice to avenge it, so, I am very disappointed in your Wang family, is this the general who assisted His Majesty the First Emperor to sweep the Six Kingdoms and shock China? What is the difference between the practice and that of an ordinary bandit rogue ronin? ”

"What do you say? Zhao Zhe communicated with the mountain bandits to rob the summer grain tax with the intention of framing you? Wang Qingsleeve asked excitedly.

"Yes, hundreds of people in Qinghe Town saw this with their own eyes, Pheasant County Lieutenant Fang Kuan saw it with their own eyes, and Liang Wen, the son of the chief bookkeeper of Nanyang County, participated in the planning, and also participated in the planning of Nanyang County's nephew Ma Boyuan and the son of the county lieutenant Gao Yan, after the summer grain tax was robbed that day, we traced down the mountain bandit's lair, and Zhao Zhe was among them, and was in the room and a woman naked and happy, and the big brother of Wuya missed it...... That one...... castrated, because the situation was extremely chaotic and dangerous at that time, I just thought that it was a lewd and shameless mountain bandit, if I knew that he was Zhao Gao's son, this would not have happened......" Chen Xu roughly said the situation that day.

"How could this be...... Wang Qingsleeve's face was full of sluggishness, and his mouth seemed to mumble to himself, "My grandfather only said that the person who hurt him was your subordinate, but he never mentioned that he communicated with the mountain bandits to rob the summer grain and frame you!" And he'...... He was still in the bandit den and the woman was naked......"

"This matter is true, I don't need to lie to you, as the daughter of the Marquis of Tongwu, although your temper is ...... That's not good, but Zhao Zhe is not a good match for you, maybe it's just his father Zhao Gao's intention to cling to your Wang family, even if you marry him, this guy must often hook up outside on weekdays......"

"Shut up!" Wang Qingsleeve was furious, stretched out his hand to his waist, and only touched an empty sheath, and the dagger inside had been collected by Chen Xu.

"You have disappointed me so much, and your entire Wang family has disappointed me!" Chen Xu sighed and turned around to leave.

"Chen Xu, tomorrow I will go to Wancheng to inquire about this matter, if it is really as you said, I will definitely go back to Xianyang to kill Zhao Zhe!" Wang Qing's cold voice came from behind him.

Chen Xu almost hit the door frame with a stagger, turned around with a twitch and said, "Can you have some other ideas, he is your fiancé, you want to kill him?" ”

"Hmph, my husband of Wang Qingsleeve, I don't dare to say that I want to be heroic and brave, but at least I have to be a righteous gentleman, if Zhao Zhe is really as you said, I will kill him so as not to tarnish my reputation Wang Qingsleeve, and so as not to affect my father and grandfather! Even if I don't marry Wang Qingsleeve in this life, I will never marry a shameless villain! And how much more ...... him He ......" Wang Qingsleeve said that in the end, he was ashamed and angry, if he had a knife in his hand, he would definitely throw it over and poke Chen Xu into seventeen or eighteen holes.

"Hehe, it's best if you can think like this, I've already told Brother Wuya, I'll send you to Wancheng when you're better, and then you can go to the county guard mansion to find Ma Boyuan's nephew Ma Teng, just say it's what I said, let him tell you what happened, he knows this matter clearly, if you don't believe me, with your identity, you can definitely find out about other people, don't think nonsense these days, take care of your illness!" After Chen Xu finished speaking, he walked out of the room, and at the same time he was slightly relieved.

Now it is the middle of September, and more than ten days later is the Winter Clothes Festival, that is, the traditional Spring Festival in later generations.

There was a bag of glutinous rice among the rice sent by Zhao Qing last time, Chen Xu got some out and steamed it and spread it under the pergola with a bamboo plaque, and at the same time went to the small river stall to dig some clean river sand and dry it back and sieve it, ready to fry some rice flowers and make some rice candy in a few days.

In addition, he is also going to make some biscuits with flour, and he can also make some moon cakes, bread with some pecans, chestnuts and fruit gardens for filling, in this era of extremely scarce snacks, it can be regarded as looking for a little bit of the warm feeling of celebrating the Spring Festival when he was a child.

Five or six days passed in a flash.

After a few days of recuperation, Wang Qingsleeve's injury was no longer serious, and his mood was much better, seeing that Chen Xu was no longer the impulse to kill quickly, while the weather was still fine, Yu Wuya and the two guards were ready to escort Wang Qingsleeve and the two maids to Wancheng.

"Chen Xu, if you lie and deceive me, I, Wang Qingshou, will come back and kill you!" Wang Qingsleeve couldn't help but be ruthless again when he got on the horse and was about to leave, and turned around and took the lead as soon as he pulled the reins of the horse.

Looking at this slender beauty, with two long legs and slender legs, Chen Xu smiled bitterly, and had to tell Yu Wuya to take care of him on the road, and he must come back after hearing the news of Shui Qingsoft.

And as a group of people left, the courtyard that had been noisy for a long time finally quieted down.

After cleaning up the front and back of the house, Chen Xu walked into an adobe house next to the house and connected to the kitchen.

The house is not big, only about ten square meters, and there is a rough long table against the wall, in fact, it is a compliment, this table is a wooden frame made of two logs and placed a few wooden boards that are put together randomly, and then a layer of terracotta bricks is laid on it, which looks like a simple stove in later generations.

There are large and small jars and bamboo tubes on the table, as well as many clay pots and bowls, which are filled with ore powder of various colors, etc., in addition to small stone mortars, medicine pestles, bamboo cups, rulers, cutters, hammers, bamboo clips and other messy tools, bamboo sieves, leather bags, masks, aprons and other objects are hung on the wall, the floor of the room is paved with stone bricks, and a stove made of bricks and stones is placed on the ground in the middle, and a small copper pot is placed on it, and a box is opened and thrown in the corner. Inside, several crystal stones reflect the sunlight that comes in through the window, emitting a colorful and beautiful light.

This house is Chen Xu's dedicated laboratory.

With the more than 200 kinds of messy ores and raw materials that Zhao Qing got back, he needed to study the ingredients carefully, and it was best to be able to distinguish the exact chemicals in them.

He sat down on a rough bench in front of the window, laid a piece of linen cloth on the long table, and then placed a small wooden plank on top of it, and then turned over a few times from a clay pot and took out a piece of white ore.

The material of this stone is very soft, the color is gray and white, the crystal structure of the stripes, and it will be stained with some powder when you touch it by hand, and he judged that this should be gypsum mine, because gypsum is one of the most abundant ores in China, and it is available almost everywhere in the country.

Put this ore on a small wooden board, cut some with a bronze knife, put it in a stone mortar, and pound it into pieces.

"Xing'er, help my brother scoop some raw bean juice!" Chen Xu shouted outside the window, and soon Xing'er's voice of agreement came over, and after a long time, Xing'er came in with a large bowl of raw soy milk.

"Brother, do you want to boil soy milk and drink it?" Apricot asked, putting soy milk on the table.

"No, I want to see if I can make tofu!" Chen Xu poured the raw soybean milk into a clay pot and put it on the clay stove, and asked Xing'er to go to the kitchen to get some charcoal and put it in the stove to cook.

These charcoal are not really charcoal, but ordinary charcoal, after cooking, pick out the red charcoal that has not yet turned into ashes in the earthen stove, put it in a clay pot, cover it with a lid to isolate oxygen, so that the charcoal can not continue to burn, what is left after the flame is extinguished is black carbon, this carbon is flammable, but the heat released is low, and it burns quickly, it can only be used as a simple heating and heating measure, and the charcoal fired by the charcoal kiln of the real big wood is completely different from the whisper. However, charcoal burning is too time-consuming and labor-intensive, and Chen Xu does not have this condition at the moment, so he can only settle for a while.

Xing'er squatted next to her with a fan and fanned gently, as the charcoal in the pottery furnace gradually became red, the soybean milk in the pottery pot also began to heat up, ten minutes later, the soybean milk began to boil, the room was filled with a fragrance of soy milk, and after boiling for a few minutes, Chen Xu took the pottery pot off the stove and put it on the ground, and then scooped out a little white powder from the stone mortar and put it into a pottery bowl, added some water and stirred it into the pottery pot and gently stirred it a few times with a bamboo spoon.
