Chapter 39: Lost and Found

Shen Xi let out a long sigh of relief, and Han County's judgment basically quoted what he said on the paper.

At this time, Hui Niang was still kneeling on the ground in the lobby, like falling clouds, originally she didn't have any hope, but suddenly the peaks turned around, and she didn't even understand what was going on.

After Han Xian Ling left, Master Xia came down to the court, walked in front of Hui Niang and said, "Lu Sun, in the end, you have a little bit of creation, and there are masters behind your back to help you." The county magistrate ruled in favor of you this time, take care of the pharmacy after you go back, and don't treat Ling Yuan badly. ”

Only then did Hui Niang believe that everything in front of her was true, and she couldn't help crying with joy.

Zhou stepped forward to help her up, Hui Niang leaned on Zhou's arms and cried with sadness and joy, she was on the verge of despair in the past two days, and she had lost hope for the future, and she felt that all this was precious.

"Sister, it's okay, let's go back and live a good life."

Zhou helped Hui Niang back to his home. The first thing Hui Niang did was to kowtow in front of the wordless tablet enshrined by the Zhou family.

Shen Xi stood in the courtyard and watched, secretly happy for Hui Niang.

Zhou's face was full of smiles: "Who said that the old gentleman forgot about us?" I never thought that his old man still had a relationship with the people of the Yamen, if it wasn't for his old man to help, I'm afraid my sister would have no place to return now. ”

Hui Niang stood up with a tearful smile, wiped away the tears on her cheeks, and bowed deeply to Zhou: "I still have to thank my sister's family, if my sister hadn't moved here, the old gentleman wouldn't have helped." "The ferryman was scared, and the brother looked at the new Sister Zhang

"Well, what did my sister say? How can this be called fate! If it weren't for my sister taking in Hanwa'er to shelter from the rain on a rainy day, we wouldn't have this opportunity. ”

"By the way, Hanwa'er...... What are you doing standing here, what time has it been, and you haven't gone to school yet? ”

Shen Xi touched his head, as if he only remembered the matter of reading at this time, and stuck out his tongue: "Oh, I'll go now." After saying that, he went into the house, picked up his schoolbag and left.

"This stinky boy knows to be lazy all the time, but he's quite smart...... The day before yesterday, Mr. was in the school examination, and he actually won the first place, and when he came back, his ass was up to the sky. ”

Zhou looked like he was scolding, but in fact, he was happy in his heart.

Hui Niang kept the pharmacy, which means that her family can continue to live in this small courtyard, and after this incident, the relationship between the two families has become closer and closer.

Hui Niang looked at Shen Xi's back when she went out, and said enviously: "My sister is still blessed, Xiaolang will definitely have a future in the future, and my sister's life will be thin......"

……

……

Shen Xi has been tired enough for the affairs of Hui Niang's mother and daughter in the past two days, but he can let the person he likes escape safely, and he feels extremely happy and satisfied.

The apocryphal old gentleman came in handy again at the critical moment, and Shen Xi secretly said that he was lucky. However, he hoped that the old lady would not ask more, and sooner or later there would be a day when the lies were too much to be exposed.

When Shen Xi came back from school in the afternoon, Hui Niang had already found a carpenter to learn from Zhou's to make a nameless position, saying that she was going to offer it all the time, and her attitude was extremely pious when she knelt down...... This is clearly treating Shen Xi's old Taoist priest who made something out of nothing as a great benefactor.

Shen Xi thought to himself, it is too much for the old lady to provide for herself, and it is already too much to kowtow to herself every day, and now even Hui Niang is doing the same, he can't afford it.

However, there was no way to debunk this matter, and Shen Xi couldn't help but feel distressed.

In the next few days, when Shen Xi went to the pharmacy to help, she could always see Hui Niang talking to herself to her husband's tablet and wordless position.

A woman has no husband, no one to confide in her heart, she can only regard the dead thing as sustenance, Shen Xi thinks about it more and more pitiful to Hui Niang.

Although the lawsuit was over, Hui Niang finally won the case, but the people of Ninghua did not buy it, the business of the pharmacy plummeted, and even some people in the neighborhood said strange things about Sun Hui Niang, and they all felt that she wanted to monopolize the property left by her husband by driving her husband's family away.

In a blink of an eye, at the end of July, it was the autumn harvest season, and the Zhou family wanted to go back to Taohua Village to help, and Shenxi's school was also on a rare holiday.

Originally, the Zhou family wanted to take Shen Xi and Lin Dai with her when she returned to her hometown, but she was afraid that Shen Xi would be detained by her family when she returned. So Zhou gritted his teeth and simply set off alone, and even Lin Dai stayed.

Because of the autumn harvest, Shen Mingjun, who had been going out early and returning late, was even busier, and even rarely came back at night, leaving two small ones at home, so he could only eat at Hui Niang's for the time being.

Hui Niang is very enthusiastic, after the previous case, the two families are almost like a family. And even if the business is worse, in the end, there is a small amount of savings, even if it does not open for three or five years, it will not make her and Lu Xi'er hungry.

Without the control of his father and mother, Shen Xi has more free time on weekdays, except for teaching Lin Dai to write every day according to Zhou's explanation when he left, he fiddles with his calligraphy and painting the rest of the time, and even moves rice paper, pen and ink and old tools to his home.

As long as Wang Lingzhi doesn't study, he will come to help, no matter what Shen Xi needs, Wang Lingzhi can always find it.

During this time, several plays written by Shen Xi and the script of "Yang Jiajiang" became famous in Ninghua County and even the entire Tingzhou Mansion.

In this case, there are southern opera troupes in and outside the city almost every day, although most of them are grass stage troupes, and the scripts are all copied from others, and there are many omissions, but there are a lot of people cheering for a random play, and the people's enthusiasm for several new plays is unprecedentedly high.

In addition to the southern opera, the teahouses were almost crowded with people listening to books.

The story of "Yang Jiajiang" has changed from the original 20 times written by Shen Xi to 40 times, because there are constantly storytellers piecing together and adding oil and vinegar, the story is gradually full, but different storytellers have different versions, and ordinary people don't know which one is authentic, anyway, which one sounds lively and listens to which.

Just when Ninghua County was thriving, the sudden bad news came, which suddenly made the people in the city lose their interest in walking the streets and alleys...... The outbreak of the plague in the Chaoshan region of Guangdong has now spread to Zhangzhou in Fujian, where it is said to have seen outbreaks in places such as Yongding and Shanghang.

Before August 15, Shen Mingjun was supposed to take Shen Xi back to his hometown for the Mid-Autumn Festival, but it turned out that the Zhou family had already returned from the countryside, and it turned out that the plague broke out in the Lingnan area in Taohua Village.

As soon as the news spread, merchants from the south were no longer allowed to enter the city, and within a few days, the city gates were closed, only open for half an hour in the morning and evening, and then the government even forbade the people to go out casually, and even sent three classes of officials to set up cards at the traffic points and land and water docks.

But even so, the plague inevitably spread to Ninghua County.

Every day in the city, there are rumors that someone has contracted the plague, and when it is infected, it is a village or even a town, although there are many rumors in it, but it really frightens the big guys.

Because of the plague, the school did not open again after the autumn harvest. Few shops in the city are open, and tailor shops are no exception, and Zhou is temporarily unemployed.

On the contrary, it was a pharmacy that was originally a light business, and there were suddenly more customers.

The county is richer than the countryside, when the plague broke out and everyone was in danger, the first thing that the people who had a little bit of family background thought of was that the price of medicinal materials would rise.

The pharmacy run by Hui Niang is not big, but back then, Lu Shaobo traveled south and north, and hoarded a lot of medicinal materials, Shen Xi has seen it, and there are at least three rooms in the backyard full of various medicinal materials.

At this critical juncture, Hui Niang did not take the opportunity to raise the price, and she only sold the medicinal materials at any price.

But even so, the people in the city still don't like to go to Hui Niang's pharmacy to buy medicine, which makes Shen Xi and Hui Niang a little helpless.
