Besides, the two girls went back to cook and boil hot water, and finally settled down.

For the time being, the doors and windows of the three rooms were repaired, and the charcoal braziers were lit, and the snow on the roofs gradually melted.

The bed and everything are done, the wardrobe and other large items, it will not be good for a while, and the box will be temporarily placed on the ground, which is not in a hurry, you can do it slowly.

The kitchen has also been repaired, and the basic accessories are complete, so that you can cook meals and make hot soup.

After eating, Erya brought bath water to Xu Jiaojiao.

"Auntie ......"

Rushing along the way, sleeping in the open air, there is no condition to take a good bath, but it is inconvenient to take a bath in the post station, but it is not convenient, this is finally to the ground, settle down, Xu Jiaojiao can't help but take a good bath, otherwise there will be lice on the body.

There were a few charcoal basins burned in the house, the temperature was quite suitable, Xu Jiaojiao soaked in the bathtub, and Erya helped her rub her back.

"What's wrong?"

Er Ya paused, "Auntie, I seem to have seen an acquaintance today, do you remember the daughter of the ancient blacksmith in the past, named Gu Xiu'er?" ”

Xu Jiaojiao snorted, why didn't she remember?

Gu Xiu'er was pregnant with someone else's child, not to say that it was Xu Lao Wu's, she wanted to pour sewage on Xu Lao Wu's head, and almost caused the Duan family and the old Xu family to fall apart and lose a good marriage.

This matter caused a lot of trouble in the countryside, and the ancient blacksmith's family couldn't live in Shazhou County anymore, so they sold their house and left for another country.

In the end, the house went around and around and sold it to her at a low price, and it became the Xujia wine shop in the current county town.

Thinking of this, Xu Jiaojiao said, "Where did you see her?" The ancient blacksmith used to take your fifth uncle to repair the city wall in the cold city, and it is not surprising that you saw them in the cold city. ”

Er Ya replied, "Auntie, it's not anywhere else, I saw it in the yamen of this county, Gu Xiuer is wearing gold and silver, and there is a white mink skin around her shoulders, she looks like she has a very moist life, it seems that she has gained a little momentum, and the guards are blocking us from entering the yamen, and she instructed it!" Auntie, why is she in the county yamen? ”

Xu Jiaojiao looked at it seriously, "You didn't see it wrong, right?" Is it really her? ”

She thought that Erya and Mo'er met when they went to the street to buy things, but she didn't expect it to be in the county yamen?

It's impossible!

It is impossible for the ancient blacksmith class to have any intersection with the county yamen.

Er Ya was a little unconvinced, "I'm not mistaken, it's her!" Auntie, at that time, their Gu family came to our old Xu family to make trouble several times, such a shameless unmarried pregnant woman, I was deeply impressed, how could I admit my mistake? I knew it was her just by looking at a side face! Then shameless people will never forget it for the rest of their lives. ”

Xu Jiaojiao didn't doubt it anymore.

"That's her, it's okay, I'll go tomorrow to find out why she's in the yamen."

Still deliberately embarrassing them?

Since Erya can recognize Gu Xiu'er, then Gu Xiu'er can also recognize Erya, so deliberately make it difficult?

Xu Jiaojiao couldn't help but think of the blood letter she received in Qingshui Town.

Waiting for them in the cold city?

Could it be Gu Xiu'er?

Gu Xiu'er appeared in the Yamen of the Cold City inexplicably dressed in splendid clothes, and harbored malice towards them......

Speaking of the festival, the festival between the old Xu family and Gu Xiu'er is really not small, Gu Xiu'er is so miserable behind, she has a miscarriage, hurts her body, and her reputation is ruined, all of which are inseparable from her and Liao Qing's secret hands and feet.

She didn't tell Erya about this, Erya didn't know about the blood book, there was no need to tell her these things, there was no other benefit except to make her panic and scared.

Erya said a few more words to Xu Jiaojiao, Gu Xiu'er was shameless, she would definitely not do anything good or something, so she helped Xu Jiaojiao finish the bath.

Xu Jiaojiao asked her to go back to the house to rest.

"Okay, don't worry about her, no matter what her identity is in this yamen, you'll know tomorrow. In this yamen, no matter how big it is, there is no one who is bigger than the county master, and you are also tired, so you have a good rest today, and you can leave everything for tomorrow. ”

If you're a newcomer, you must have endless work to do, and a lot of things to pack.

I'm afraid that they are diligent, so they have to do it overnight, this cold city is very cold at night, and they have been on the road for many days, I am afraid that they will be tired.

Told over and over again.

Erya smiled and agreed to go out.

My aunt is so good, my aunt is so painful, she wants to be with my aunt forever.

After Xu Jiaojiao took a bath and went to bed later, she told Liao Qing about Gu Xiu'er.

Liao Qingdao said, "Master Ji Fu has already told me that Zhang Chenglong often lives in the yamen, with a concubine by his side, named Gu Xiu'er, I thought it was the same name and surname, but I didn't expect it to be really a person." ”

Xu Jiaojiao understood.

That's the right number.

Master Ji Fu is still old ginger and spicy enough, and it was only the first day he came, and he still inquired about the information in this unpopular environment.

And that's not all.

Under his instructions, when the two girls went out to buy things, they inquired about the situation in Hancheng by the way, or asked head-on, or pretended not to care about listening to others' discussions, and gained a lot.

Combined with the news that Ji Fu found out by himself, the general situation of Hancheng is almost understood.

"Liao Qing, do you think that blood letter was written by Gu Xiu'er?"

Liao Qing hugged her fragrant daughter-in-law, not stunned at all, "At present, it's hard to say." However, judging from the situation obtained, there must be a problem with this Zhang Chenglong, let's take a step at a time, tomorrow I will retry Zhou Laohan's case, and to Bo Gongtang, any ghosts and monsters will naturally surface. Daughter-in-law, it's time for us to sleep, it's been a long time since I've kissed my husband......"

It took a month and a half to rush on the road, and there were many people on the road, and the environment was bad, and the young couple had no chance to do intimate things.

Now that he has settled down and slept on this real hot kang, no matter how hard and tired he is, Liao Qing's heart can't hold back.

"Hey! Sleep wow, you're not tired...... Not...... Hmmm......"

The sound in the back was muffled.

There was a charcoal fire in the house, and the two people on the kang seemed to be even hotter.

***

The next day, Liao Qing ascended to the church.

The main officials of the yamen and the three classes of officials have almost arrived.

This, not so much that they are diligent, but that they are ready to watch the excitement, and they all want to see how many brushes this new county magistrate has, and how much they can resist under the authority of the master bookkeeper.

"Today, Zhou Laohan will come to the yamen to beat drums and shout grievances."

As soon as Liao Qing spoke, everyone was stunned. Drumming and shouting grievances is the spontaneous behavior of the people, what do you mean by the county master? Can you still know the prophet? Count that Zhou Laohan is going to sue?

However, those who are well-informed have already figured it out, and this may be the county magistrate himself who took the initiative to instigate it, so it is not surprising.

But it's not very straightforward to say it, right? Have you consulted with the bookkeeper?
