Chapter 18 The Mother of Grace

Jin'er returned to Yishitang from Hongwen Hall, and told her mother-in-law and Lou mother about Lou Shide and Li Chengqian while laughing. was so angry that Lou's mother ran away on the spot, threatening to clean up her son when she came back.

"Are you willing?" Jin'er asked Lou's mother with a smile.

The three of them were chatting when they heard the cries of women and children outside. A woman ran into the medicine hall with her hair disheveled and said to Jin'er: "Please save my husband."

When I went out, I saw a man lying on top of the wooden cart, his lower clothes had already been torn, it seemed that he had been tortured with a cane, and there was a girl crying next to him.

Quickly asked the shop guy to carry the injured person to the hall, and after taking off the clothes, he found that the flesh and blood on his legs were blurred, and after checking it, it was good that there was no injury to the muscles and bones, but the person couldn't bear the pain and fainted.

Hurriedly stopped the bleeding and bandaged with medicine, and poured first aid decoction to the injured person. Not long after, the man slowly woke up and opened his mouth to speak.

"Don't talk yet, rest well, and talk about anything after you get some sleep," Jin'er said to this.

The man listened to the persuasion, and immediately closed his eyes and fell asleep again.

It wasn't until the time of the lamp that the man woke up again, and Jin'er asked him to fry some ginseng porridge and drink it, and the man obviously came up in good spirits.

"The villain thanked Guofu for saving his life," the man said as he lay on the couch and arched his hand to Jin'er.

"First of all, why did you get the rod?" Jin'er asked curiously.

I saw this person sigh and said: "The villain Li Ji was originally the chief housekeeper of Li Yuanjing's Mansion of King Zhao, and it is said that he is an old acquaintance with the Duke of Yuguo. Last year, the matter between Xiao Gong and King Zhao was the medicine that the villain asked for from Xiao Gong, and it cost Zhao Wangfu a thousand yuan at that time. After Li Yuanjing's eyes healed when he went back, he began to suspect that the villain was greedy for money, and some villains kept talking about it, so Li Yuanjing often accused the villain and kept looking for trouble."

Jin'er suddenly remembered that in order to avenge Li Tai, Xiao Zheng had beaten Li Yuanjing last year.

I saw Li Ji continue: "A few days ago, he sprouted his old ways, and when he saw the restaurant girl on the street, he wanted to rob him home. The villain persuaded him not to do anything wrong at that time, and he also kicked the villain a few times, just in time for Grandpa Wei Chi to patrol the streets, and was violently beaten by General Wei Chi on the spot. After he went back, he had no place to go, so he found a way to drive the villain's cane and sixty families out of the palace, but fortunately, the villain was okay on weekdays, and Shi Cane's subordinates were merciful, otherwise the villain would have died a long time ago."

"And where do you want to go next when you're healed?" Jin'er asked.

"Mrs. Guo, the villain was originally a house slave, and now he is homeless after being swept away by the master's family, if the lady's family does not dislike being able to take in the villain's whole family, I am grateful," Li Ji said to Jin'er on the couch.

"Mrs. Guo, after my husband was tortured with a cane, he gritted his teeth and said let the women pull him to you, he said that only the Duke of Yuguo could take him in, and he fainted after speaking," Li Ji's wife pulled the child to kneel on the ground and choked up.

"My husband really mentioned you to me, it just so happens that there is no housekeeper in my house, if you are not tired, you can come to my house to be a housekeeper. Don't worry, I don't need you to become a slave, I have a small family, I don't have so many rules, and I won't beat people," Jin'er said with a smile.

"The villain thanks the master for his kindness, and the villain didn't missee the person" Li Ji struggled to get up.

"Don't move, take care of your wounds."

In the imperial study next to the Xiande Palace, Li Shimin was reviewing the recitals, and a person dressed as an inconspicuous servant stood in front of him.

"Are you sure Li Yuanjing really kicked his housekeeper out of the house and then went to Xiao Qing's mansion? Didn't he use a bitter trick to get revenge? Li Shimin asked without raising his head.

"It's true, Li Yuanjing is surrounded by some sycophants and eagle dogs, they can't have such thoughts," the man replied very neatly.

"That's good, you also have to secretly protect Xiao Qing's family, prevent that housekeeper point, go down."

"No!" The man arched his hand and then retreated...

Yangzhou in June, rice and fish fat.

After two or three months of coming, the common people found that this young high-ranking official was very different, first removed the sergeant who guarded the door, and then released the words that anyone in the court could enter.

At first, people didn't dare to go in, but some of the originally released prisoners sent a few chickens or some water chestnuts and other things to Lord Xiao in order to repay their kindness, and Lord Xiao accepted them with a smile.

When the people behind saw this, they became bolder, until one day a guy got drunk and had the courage to enter the court and say that it was okay, just to see if what Master Xiao said was true or false.

When he sobered up, he was drunk and carried back to his home by Lord Xiao, and then the people really believed it, and in the end, the dogs on the street dared to run into the house, and Lord Xiao's reputation of loving the people like a son was completely broken.

Wu Shi Tong has also been guarding the pasture in Jiangnan for a long time, and he is extremely familiar with Jiangnan political affairs, Xu Jingzong is a good hand in handling official affairs, as long as Xiao Zheng mentions his ideas, this guy has written in a moment, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it is a wave.

With the help of these two people, Lord Xiao became the shopkeeper again.

When I had nothing to do, I took Li Tai and Xiao Changning to go around outside the city, it turned out that I had never fished, since I arrived here, I saw a lot of people fishing on the river in their spare time, and the two children were noisy to learn, so they simply found someone to get a few fishing rods, and after playing for a few days, the three of them all liked fishing.

Then let's play, pull Xu Jingzong and a few people, let Zheng Xuanli find a boat and drive the lake where he went last time, put down the hook and go to the beginning to chat and fish if he has nothing to do.

What else can a few new hands gain, they have been busy for more than an hour, only a few small fish of two or three inches have been caught, so angry that Xiao Zheng threw the fishing rod in his hand to the boat, and Li Tai also sat on the edge of the boat and pouted and began to get angry. Only Zheng Xuanli looked at the three of them and laughed.

"Laughing at what?" Xiao Zheng glared at him and said angrily.

"My lord, the villain has been in this lake for more than ten years, and he has long been familiar with the situation here. Zheng Xuanli gritted his teeth and smiled.

"I'm underestimating you, let's talk about it," Xiao Zheng said.

"This one is bait, the other is floating, it depends on the weather, but also to choose the right position, the same kind of fish stay in the water at different depths in the morning and at night......."

Zheng Xuanli is really a master, he slid the boat forward more than ten zhang, found a puddle with aquatic plants, and caught seven or eight fish of about a catty after taking Xiao Zheng's fishing rod for a while, and the two happy little families jumped straight on the boat.

"Are there any big fish here?" Xiao Zheng asked.

Zheng Xuanli glanced at the water surface and pointed to the river not far away and said, "There are big fish there."

"Go, paddle through".

"Don't go!" Zheng Xuanli refused without even thinking about it.

"Why?"

"There's Jiao there," Zheng Xuanli said cautiously, looking at the surrounding water.
