Rue Xiang was boiling medicine in the yard, Xi Hongdou was still confused, although it didn't burn, but her young master was also taking care of it every step of the way, and when she boiled the medicine and brought it into the house, she saw Xiao Zhi and Abu staring at Xi Hongdou with two big eyes and two small eyes.

"Young master, the medicine is ready, I'll feed the girl and drink the medicine first." Rue said.

Xiao Zhi took it and said, "I'll come." ”

Rue Xiang didn't argue, knowing that Xiao Zhi was more anxious than anyone else, so he took Abu out first.

Xi Hongdou was confused, and it was rare to open her eyes, just when she saw that Xiao Zhi was going to feed her medicine, her mouth was closed.

She really misses sugar-coated pills or capsules, and she really ...... this bitter medicine soup Can't swallow it.

Xiao Zhi saw that Xi Hongdou was sober, so he said: "Drink the medicine quickly, drink it quickly, if you are so sick, my mother is going to die in a hurry?" ”

"Huh? Madam? Xi Hongdou was very moved, I didn't expect Mrs. Xiao to worry about her so much!

Xiao Zhi smiled bitterly: "My mother is afraid that you will have three long and two short points, and I will also die!" "His mother has all her thoughts on this now, Xi Hongdou has a headache and a hot brain, and his mother is the one she is most afraid of.

Xi Hongdou smiled bitterly, it turned out that this was the case.

"Drink the medicine quickly, you were unconscious before, my mother saw that it was poured hard, and I didn't eat it, so I went directly to the temple to pray for blessings." Xiao Zhi smiled and said, "Your illness is indeed worrying. ”

Looking at the bitter medicine soup in front of him, Xi Hongdou still opened his mouth in the end, originally he was still a little confused, this mouthful of medicinal soup went down, the whole person was more energetic, not to mention what would happen after the effect, just this bitter taste, it was even more bullish than clicking on cardiac defibrillation!

After drinking the medicine, Xi Hongdou drank some clear porridge, and then fell asleep again, and woke up in the evening, and people also felt relaxed.

Mrs. Xiao also came back at this time, tossed all the way to the temple, and asked for peace and blessings to drive away evil spirits and avoid evil, Xi Hongdou and Xiao Zhi were one by one.

"Are the red beans better?" Mrs. Xiao asked nervously.

Xiao Zhi nodded: "It's much better, I woke up just now, said that I thought it was nothing, changed my clothes, and said that I would be able to eat in a while." ”

Mrs. Xiao breathed a sigh of relief, as long as Xi Hongdou was fine, his son would be fine, so she said, "Let Uncle Fang make something light, and now I can't eat too greasy, and then boil some ginseng chicken soup!" ”

Xiao Zhi responded with a smile, his mother was also tired today.

When she finished eating, Mrs. Xiao came over to see Xi Hongdou, and when she saw that she seemed to have really recovered her spirits, she said, "Don't go out these days, take care of it at home, and leave the shop alone." The wedding date is also approaching, so don't get sick at this time. ”

"Got it." Xi Hongdou is like a little quail, and Mrs. Xiao is the knife-mouthed tofu heart.

The next day, Xi Hongdou still felt a little tired, wondering if he was really paying too little attention to himself? Now when you say you're sick, you're sick, and this body is like paper.

Xiao Zhi has been with Xi Hongdou all day long, and now it can be regarded that the two of them have time to get along well.

Rue Xiang came in from outside the door at this time, saying that the owner of the paper shop asked the guy to pick up the words he wanted to write on the invitation, and he had said it before.

Xiao Zhi went to bring what he had written before, and Rue Xiang came back and told him that it would be delivered in three days.

Mrs. Xiao is idle at this time, so she sent some red satin and cloth for Xi Hongdou to choose, under normal circumstances, the red wedding dress is also prepared by her mother's family, so that the girl can embroider the wedding dress by herself, but Xi Hongdou herself will not embroider, Mrs. Xiao discussed with the second elder of the Xi family before, anyway, she can't embroider, so she took it to the tailor shop to embroider.

"These pieces of cloth are all good materials, and the cloth shop owner praised them vigorously, what do you like? Then let's find an embroiderer to embroider. Mrs. Xiao said that she also has an embroidery lady at home, and when the wedding dress is cut, let the embroiderer start embroidering, and three months is not a lot of time.

Xi Hongdou looked very good, and casually pointed out one, Mrs. Xiao hurriedly asked Mama Liu to come over to measure the ruler, and then Xi Hongdou's body size and fabric were sent to the Tianyi embroidery workshop to tailor.

Xi Hongdou didn't feel anything before, but now he finally has a premarital anxiety. The marriage began to slowly lay out in front of her eyes one by one, so that she also noticed the abnormality in her mood, and the inexplicable nervousness and gains and losses rushed into her mind at once.

Rue Xiang saw Xi Hongdou muttering early in the morning, and several flowers in the yard were pulled down, she was curious, so she went over to listen to Xi Hongdou muttering, and listened to Xi Hongdou say: "Marry, don't marry, marry, don't marry......"

"Girl, do you want to marry my young master? Why do I still hear you say that you won't marry......? Rue Xiang was surprised, you can't say that you won't marry at this time!

Xi Hongdou saw that it was Ruexiang, so he quickly asked Rue Xiang to be quiet, and said, "I didn't say I wouldn't marry ......."

"Then you just ......" Rue Xiang thought that her ears should have heard correctly.

Xi Hongdou had a weak heart, so he said: "I just haven't been married, I'm nervous, I'm afraid of getting married so early, and I will find out that Xiao Zhi is different from what I imagined, what should I do?" She and Xiao Zhi have realized that more than three years is not a short time now, but some people often say that men are very capable of pretending before marriage, and when they get married, they will change 180 degrees, and all kinds of shortcomings will be exposed. She has never been married, and she is full of infinite awe for marriage.

When describing marriage, everyone also uses the word "management" to describe it, but she feels that this is also different from doing business, the business loses, and the big deal is that there is no money, but if this marriage fails, she will not say anything, and she will leave herself covered in bruises.

After listening to Xi Hongdou's words, Rue Xiang said: "The young master is indeed different from before, but it has become better." I have been a maid in the Xiao family for many years, and although the young master in the past also fought and brawled, those who were beaten were not good people. The young master is a good person, and the girl really doesn't have to worry. ”

Xi Hongdou sighed, he was too sensitive, so he said, "Don't tell your young master about today." ”

"I'm sure I won't say it!" Rue Xiang said that she most hopes that this marriage can be completed, which of those young ladies from other powerful families can have Xi Hongdou is approachable, Xi Hongdou has never put up a fight with them!

Xi Hongdou went back to the room, thinking that she should go to the shop to walk more, she was prone to cranky thoughts as soon as she was free. But just as she was about to go out, Mrs. Xiao came over and said, "I prayed for you the day before yesterday, and I should go to repay my vows today, you are ready to prepare, and we will go out in a while." ”

Anyway, it's the same when you go out, Xi Hongdou doesn't believe in those clay sculptures and gold lacquered Bodhisattva gods, it's better to do something else with the kung fu of worshipping God, but Mrs. Xiao insisted, and she went with her.

The incense in the temple outside the city is very vigorous, and Mrs. Xiao is also generous when she gives the monks sesame oil money, Xi Hongdou feels that it is really a drought and a waterlogging.

After Xi Hongdou knelt on the futon and kowtowed a few times, Mrs. Xiao pulled Xi Hongdou to the abbot to say a few words, the abbot was not young, his eyebrows and beard were gray, and when he saw Xi Hongdou, he first had a "face", and then said that Xi Hongdou was a blessed person.

Mrs. Xiao nodded, as long as Xi Hongdou is blessed, so that Xiao Zhi can be blessed.

After worshipping the Buddha, the two returned again, just entered the city, the carriage stopped, and after waiting for a long time, Xi Hongdou asked: "Why don't you leave?" ”

"It seems that someone is dead in front, and the yamen is investigating the case, and the road is blocked, so I will change the route." The coachman said.

As soon as Mrs. Xiao heard that there was a dead person, she even said this bad luck, and Xi Hongdou said: "Madam, you go back to the house first, there is my shop in front, I will take a look." After saying that, he got out of the car directly.

"Oops!" Mrs. Xiao didn't stop shouting, so she said, "Why can't this be separated from the shop?" ”

Xi Hongdou went directly to the front, and the place where the accident happened seemed to be not far from the location of her shop, and she also wanted to see what was going on.

Walking to the side of the crowd, I happened to see Yao San, who was also watching the excitement, Xi Hongdou waved his hand, Yao San hurriedly walked around and said, "Dongjia, are you okay?" "Before, Rue Xiang ran errands for Xi Hongdou and came over to say hello, and they also knew that Xi Hongdou was sick, so they didn't come over for the past few days.

Xi Hongdou said: "It's okay, it's just that my wife won't let me walk around, let me recuperate at home, or I'll come over early." What's going on? ”

"Dead, still young, I heard that he was only sixteen or seventeen years old, and he was beaten to death." Yao San said what he had heard.

The corpse on the ground has been covered with a cloth, and Xi Hongdou can't see what kind of death the person inside is, but it is really pitiful to die at the age of sixteen or seventeen.

"Who dares to kill someone in the street? There is really no royal law. Xi Hongdou said, the security of this Kyoto City was originally good.

Yao San was speechless: "I heard that it was a person from the opera troupe, and the person who was killed seems to have signed a death contract since he was a child, and it is estimated that he will be killed if he is killed, as long as he has that contract, he doesn't have to lose his life." After speaking, he sighed heavily, this world is so unfair, they are all people with two noses and two mouths, some people are born rich and noble, and some people are cheap.

Xi Hongdou was surprised and asked, "What is a death contract?" "She hadn't heard of it before, even if it was a happy book, it was human life, and if she was killed, she would have to see the official, as if only the slave was killed by the master......

Yao San explained, Xi Hongdou is a girl's family after all, and it is normal to not know these things in the ninth rank, so he said: "The children of poor families can't afford to raise them, so they are sent to the troupe to mix rice, but they have to sign a death contract to accept it, learn art for a few years, sell art for a few years or something, before the contract is completed, people beat them to death in vain, and they are all clearly written." ”

Xi Hongdou felt that the world had been refreshed again, she was a senior internship before she crossed over, and she was also full of fear of becoming a social animal soon, but after listening to this death contract, she felt that this is the real person here who lives as well as a beast......
