Chapter 206: On Fire
Abu was still lamenting his luck one moment ago, but he didn't think that he would be picked up and slipped out the next moment.
And looking at the person in front of him in a fiery red unicorn suit, he knew that he had provoked the big guy.
He knelt there tremblingly, silently praying for the blessing of the gods in his heart, until he heard Shi Jinxiu's voice, and he was relieved.
"Master!" Abu called Shi Jinxiu loudly, and soon received a stab from Yu Wenyan, which frightened him and didn't dare to say anything.
"What's going on?" Seeing Shi Jinxiu's Yu Wenyan, he pointed to Abu and asked with great patience.
"I bought him from the toothman." Shi Jinxiu told the truth.
"Of course I know that you bought him back," Yu Wenyan stared at Shi Jinxiu and said, "But why did you buy him at this time?" You wouldn't know that this group of people was being purged in the capital, right? ”
Shi Jinxiu knew that he had done something wrong.
Yu Wenyan was arresting people in the capital with great fanfare, but she left Abu, who was also a Hu person, behind, isn't this blatantly against Yu Wenyan.
Shi Jinxiu gave Tang Quan a look to Tang Quan who was present, and motioned for him to take Abu down first, while he snuggled up to Yu Wenyan's side and said, "I know that I did something wrong, but Abu is very important to me!" ”
Inevitably, Yu Wenyan misunderstood, so she told Yu Wenyan about the cause and effect of the matter: "At first, I was too confident and thought that I could get those overseas spices by myself, but I didn't think about it or not." ”
Shi Jinxiu sighed: "But there are some words that have already been said, and they can't be taken back." I can't go to Mrs. Ye of Xinxiang Pavilion at this time and say, I can't get the new incense, let's get it according to the previous recipe, and I can't tell Zhu Laohan from the Li family incense shop to return the incense recipe of Xinxiang Pavilion, they can still only make the kind of incense that can't be sold before. ”
Sure enough, as soon as Yu Wenyan heard this, the expression on his face softened a little.
"But how can you be sure that this kid Abu can solve your urgent need?" Yu Wenyan was skeptical.
Shi Jinxiu was speechless for a while, she couldn't say that she dreamed it in her dreams, right?
"Uh...... Gut feeling! In addition, Shi Jinxiu really couldn't think of any other reason, "Our incense makers sometimes rely on intuition!" I can't make any sense. ”
Fortunately, Yu Wenyan doesn't know how to make incense, even if he breaks it blindly, he can't see through the flaws in it, right?
Shi Jinxiu thought in his heart.
"But how are you going to keep people in the house?" Yu Wenyan continued to ask her.
"This ...... Renyazi will help me go to the government to get Abu's deed of sale. Shi Jinxiu said to Yu Wenyan seriously, "Moreover, I don't plan to let Abu go out and hang around, at least not in the near future!" ”
"In that case, you have to take care of him!" Yu Wenyan finally let go.
Shi Jinxiu excitedly surrounded Yu Wenyan: "Don't worry!" I'm not going to let him get in trouble. ”
As she spoke, she took out the newly made incense from her sleeve and gave it to Yu Wenyan: "This is the new incense made with the help of Abu, I'll make you a sachet to hang on your body when you go back!" ”
didn't think about it, but Yu Wenyan looked disgusted: "I don't want these, but the sachet you made for me before is good." If you have the heart, make me the same again! ”
Shi Jinxiu, who asked for him, nodded like a chicken pecking rice.
When Abu learned that he could stay with peace of mind, he worked harder.
At the end of March, Shi Jinxiu picked a sunny day and married Du Juan.
The thirty-six dowries carefully prepared for the cuckoo attracted many onlookers, and when they learned that it was only Shi Jinxiu's maid who was married and not a rich lady, everyone envied the people who worked in their house.
It's just that Shi Jinxiu doesn't know these envy.
She deliberately rushed to find Xu Li before the exam.
Because he has been living in the Shi family, the Shi family understands his hardships, so the family regards Xu Li as their own family. Jane's let Xu Li's exam basket be dried early, and Chen's mother in the kitchen prepared dry food for him to use in the days of the exam, while Shi Gang and Shi Nan helped Xu Li warm the book and talked to him about the places to pay attention to during the exam.
"I won't tell you anything more about it." Knowing that his family had already told Xu Li, Shi Jinxiu smiled with Xu Li, "I'm just here to tell you that the money we invested in Lin Sanye to go to sea before has been repaid, not only has it returned, but also the income is also considerable, which is enough for you to study with peace of mind in the past few years." ”
Although Xu Li didn't say anything, Shi Jinxiu knew that the pressure in his heart was quite high, so he was fighting to take care of things for himself, for fear of taking more advantage of himself.
It was precisely because he was afraid that he would enter the examination institute with such a burden of thought, so Shi Jinxiu specially came to enlighten him: "Last time, you also failed the exam because you were worried that you would not be able to pass the exam, right?" Don't think about anything this time. ”
"Sister, I understand." Xu Li began to choke, "This time, I will do well in the exam." ”
On the day of the opening of the examination institute, Shi Jinxiu did not send him.
Because someone set fire to the Xinxiang Pavilion the night before.
Encountering this kind of thing, Shi Jinxiu naturally didn't have the heart to send Xu Li again, but hurried to Xinxiang Pavilion with people.
Fortunately, it rained heavily that night, and someone found it early, fortunately only burned the front door of the Xinxiang Pavilion, and did not hurt the plaque of the "Xinxiang Family" hanging in the Xinxiang Pavilion, but the incense products that were waiting for the new listing on the shelves were burned, and the whole East Street was filled with a fragrant smell.
"What's going on?" When he arrived at the scene, Shi Jinxiu saw Mrs. Ye, who was also in a hurry.
A man with his head covered in black soot sat on the steps in a state of horror, his white coat already dirty, apparently from the fire.
"I woke up last night and suddenly saw a bright light in the front hall of the shop!" When he saw Shi Jinxiu and Mrs. Ye, he was very frightened and said, "I hurriedly brought the lantern and came to see, I didn't think that as soon as I entered the shop, I was knocked out of the head, and when I woke up again, there was a fire in the shop!" ”
"Then I went to fetch water, but as soon as I poured it, the fire burned even brighter!" The more the man spoke, the more nervous he became, and at last he began to cry.
After pouring water, the fire burns brightly?
Shi Jinxiu walked into the Xinxiang Pavilion, but found that someone had poured fire oil on the ground, and a white paper lantern had fallen to the ground and burned to the ground with only a burnt bamboo skeleton.
In addition to these, the ground was full of black footprints that had been stepped on during the firefighting, and several burned doors and windows were also wide open, and the scene was a mess.
