The day after Lang Zhong Lin Zhongye went to the teahouse to listen to the book.

Early in the morning, a light rain began to fall in the sky.

By noon, the sky showed no sign of clearing. Shen Xi was concerned about the consignment paintings, found a reason and slipped out of the yard, wearing the big hat that his father used every day, and went to the calligraphy and painting shop called "Si Gu Zhai". Unfortunately, when he arrived at the ground, he found that the door of the shop was closed, and the rain was getting heavier and heavier, and the hat could no longer cover his body, so he could only temporarily take shelter from the rain under the eaves.

Pedestrians were in a hurry on the streets, and whenever a horse-drawn carriage sped over the muddy road, the muddy water would shoot at the head. Shen Xi could only get as close to the wall as possible, but the eaves were too short, and soon most of his body was wet. He glanced left and right, and noticed that the eaves of the shop next door to the calligraphy and painting shop were deeper, so he moved his steps.

But the eaves in front of the shop were relatively limited, if wide, and he still had muddy water splashing on him from time to time, so he had to lean against the door panel and remove the hat to cover him.

Just when Shen Xi was embarrassed, he only heard a "squeak", the door panel opened from the inside, and a woman appeared at the door with an umbrella, her head slightly bowed, looking Shen Xi up and down.

This woman is about to be in her early twenties, her eyebrows are like spring mountains, and her eyes are full of autumn water, which is dizzying. She has a beautiful melon seed face, her face is fair and delicate, her nose is as white as jade, her cherry lips are delicate, and her slender body is graceful like the wind blowing the willows, and she is actually a stunning beauty.

Shen Xi was slightly stunned, just to meet the woman's gaze, as soon as the two eyes touched, for some reason, both of them couldn't help but tremble slightly.

"Whose child are you? Don't stay at home on a rainy day, and get drenched in soup......" The woman was slightly surprised, but quickly adjusted her emotions and asked gently.

Shen Xi was just about to answer, when he suddenly heard the sound of chopsticks hitting the edge of the bowl from inside the house, although it was quickly covered by the sound of the rain and the sound of dripping water from the eaves, Shen Xi couldn't help but glance inside.

A little girl of five or six years old was eating with a large bowl, and her big black eyes were as bright as the morning star, colliding with his vision. Shen Xi smiled at the little girl, and then said to the woman: "My family lives next to the Wang family's mansion in the south of the city, go to the calligraphy and painting shop next door to your house to do some things, who wants to encounter this ghost weather......

"Oh."

The beautiful woman was relieved, and then patiently explained: "On rainy days, the shops along the street will not be open, so as not to damage the things in the shops by muddy water...... If you don't like it, come to my house and take shelter from the rain, and then go back when the rain stops. ”

Shen Xi saluted politely: "Thank you, aunt." ”

The woman smiled and said, "What an obedient and good boy...... Come on in and put the hat away. It's cold, there's a towel here, you wipe it. ”

Shen Xi entered the room and looked around carefully. He has been to the calligraphy and painting shop a few times, but he didn't pay attention to the shop next door, and saw that there was a large cabinet behind the walled long counter, and the small drawers on the big cabinet were neatly arranged, and each drawer was written on red paper.

At this time, when people are sick, most of them invite Lang Zhong to their homes for diagnosis and treatment, and after determining the symptoms, they prescribe prescriptions, and the patient's family members go to the pharmacy to grab the medicine. Of course, there are also pharmacies with doctors, but they are not the mainstream of this era.

The woman moved a small bench for Shen Xi, and after Shen Xi thanked him, he sat in the corner of the door, looking at the woman and the little girl with a smile on his face. There was an octagonal table in front of the counter, and there was some food on it, and the woman cleaned up the food on the table, turned back and asked, "Have you eaten, you child?" ”

Shen Xi replied with a smile: "I have eaten at home." ”

The woman then put her things in order, and then said to the little girl: "Go inside and eat, my mother will still grind the medicine after cleaning up, don't come out to make trouble, you know?" ”

Accustomed to listening to Zhou's pungent and foul language, and suddenly hearing the gentle tone of the beautiful woman in front of him, Shen Xi felt extremely pleasing to the eye. The woman walked around the backyard, took in a small basket of unknown herbs, poured them into a stone mortar on the side of the counter, and then took the stone pestle and began to grind the medicine.

Shen Xi watched silently, feeling extremely peaceful.

The rain outside did not stop, and suddenly there was a rush of footsteps, and then someone knocked on the door.

The beautiful woman got up and opened the door panel, and welcomed two men, one tall and one short, and the tall one put away the umbrella when he came in, and said, "Hui Niang, let's grab the medicine, it's still the prescription prescribed by Dr. Xu last time, you just follow it." After saying that, he took out a piece of paper from his bosom and handed it over.

The woman took the prescription to the counter and read it carefully, and when she thought it was all right, she grabbed the medicine against it and used a spoon to determine the amount.

Shen Xi thought to himself: "It turns out that this thrillingly beautiful woman is called Hui Niang, but she came out for some reason...... Could it be that there is no man in the family? ”

When Hui Niang grabbed the medicine, the two men chatted, talking about the fact that Lin Zhongye Lin of the Ministry of Industry only listened to half of the play in the teahouse yesterday, and finally returned disappointed.

The two of them spoke vigorously, but they didn't pay attention to Shen Xi sitting in the corner at all.

The tall man said: "You don't know, Master Xia went to find the storyteller to ask for the guilt, who would have thought that "Yang Jiajiang" was not compiled by the storyteller at all, but taught by others, do you say this is not unusual?" It is estimated that at this time, the Yamen Zhengfang sent people to rummage all over the city, and wanted to find out the person who wrote the book of "Yang Jiajiang". ”

A sneer appeared on Shen Xi's face.

The Yachak withheld his bounty, and he wrote the "Yang Family General" to the storyteller, and finally became popular in the city, with the purpose of letting the culprit get the lesson he deserved. Now that the fish has taken the bait, it's up to us to act next.

After a while, the two men took the medicine and left, and the rain outside was much lighter, Shen Xi stood up and said goodbye: "Auntie, I'm leaving, thank you for letting me come in to avoid the rain." ”

"What a sensible doll...... Xi'er, in the future, you will learn from this brother and be a good boy who is knowledgeable, you know? Hui Niang smiled brightly, and although it was rainy outside, it made people feel like they were sunny.

"Oh." The little girl was young and ignorant, so she answered, looking at Shen Xi with big eyes blinking, innocent, which made Shen Xi feel extremely cute.

In Shen Xi's eyes, this little girl is much better than Lin Dai who likes to sue at home, Lin Dai is almost ten years old no matter what she says, her innocence is gradually leaving, her mind is becoming more and more mature, and she doesn't know how much headache it will be in the future!

On the way home, Shen Xi thought that if he had the opportunity in the future, he would definitely come to see Hui Niang again, and ask her what was going on at home by the way.

When he returned to his home in the south of the city, before he entered the door, he heard his father eagerly calling his name in the courtyard...... Shen Xi didn't expect his father to be at home during the day, usually Shen Mingjun would be busy until late when he left early and returned late.

"Dad, what are you looking for me?" Shen Xi entered the courtyard and asked suspiciously.

When Shen Mingjun saw his son, he didn't bother to ask him where he went, so he directly grabbed him: "The master of the county government has come to the house again, and he wants to see you by name...... Come with me. ”

Shen Xi didn't expect Master Xia to come to the door so quickly, and couldn't help but be surprised, but when the matter came, he couldn't let him think too much, and followed Shen Mingjun into the Wang family's mansion through the side door of the courtyard.

Walking all the way, as soon as the father and son walked into the threshold of the Wang family's main house, they heard a disgusted voice that Shen Xi engraved in his mind: "Master Bookkeeper, this kid is the one who came to present the play book that day!" I'm going to take him down...... You come with me......"

Then, a group of yacha rushed to the door in a murderous manner, so frightened that Shen Xi hurriedly hid behind his father.

"Li Dali, don't be rude, do you think it's a prisoner?" Master Xia scolded him, and several officials retreated, including the guy who deducted Shen Xi's reward that day.

Master Xia stepped forward with a smile and looked at Shen Xi carefully: "I heard that the script and the script were both given by a child, and the official guessed that it was you." In this Ninghua county, I am afraid that only the descendants of Shen Tongzhi, who are loyal to the public, have this ability. ”

Shen Mingjun hurriedly knelt down and kowtowed: "Master Bookkeeper, my child doesn't know what he has done wrong, please read it for his young sake, spare him!" ”

"Please get up, please get up...... Brother Shen, you misunderstood, today's official came to the door in person not to ask the teacher to ask for the guilt, but to ask your son-in-law for something. ”

Master Xia smiled and helped Shen Mingjun up, turned around and scolded, "Li Dali, still don't you return the reward that the young son of the Shen family deserves?" It was because of your group of evil soaps that the yamen caused the people to complain......"

"The county order has been ordered three times and five times, water can carry a boat and can overturn a boat, you must be kind to the people, when did you follow it? If a similar situation occurs again, it will be severely punished! ”

Li Dali walked up to Shen Xi with a bitter face, presented the two taels of silver with a bitter face, and said in his mouth: "This little boy, that day was a contemptible person who didn't know what to do, and he was offended a lot, and I hope you will spare me once." Li is polite. As he spoke, he bowed his head.

Shen Xi thought to himself, there is no sincerity at all!

The fierce and vicious Li Yacha withheld the reward before, and he didn't know how cool it was! It wasn't until yesterday's incident was exposed that he was held accountable, and he had to shake out the truth.

If it weren't for the county magistrate who had something to ask for, it was estimated that even if Master Xia knew that the reward was deducted by the people below, he would not have asked, let alone let this guy make amends for himself.

No, you have to teach this guy a hard lesson to get out of his bad spirits!
