In March of the year when Song Xiyuan left Yaozhuang quietly, Qiu Shui returned to Jinyuan.

Zhu Yi pestered him to ask about A-Niang's situation, and detailed the interesting things that happened during his absence. Qiu Shui saw that she and Chu Lin were safe and sound, and they were honest, and the heart that she had been carrying fell to the ground. He brought two sets of Xili skirts made by A-Niang to Zhu Yi and Chu Lin, and divided the products brought by Xili. The two siblings each had their own new clothes, and they were not very new about the property. However, Wen Xi was very happy with a Xili jade bracelet, and Qiu Shui saw that her face was slightly red, so he quietly looked at it a few more times.

In the early spring, the weather in Qiancheng was good and bad, and after days of cold rain, it finally became warmer day by day. While paying attention to when Zuo Chu in the remote case village would go to the East China Sea, Zhu Yi took his three partners to Qiancheng to hang out.

One day at the end of March, Wen Xiyang took Qiu Shui to ride a horse outside the city, and Zhu Yi took Chu Lin to watch juggling on the street. In the evening, the first Lin Lazhuyi went to the tavern to drink some wine, until the two of them were slightly drunk before returning to the garden. Zhu Yi was greedy halfway, and took a long detour to buy some food, and then rushed back satisfied. Coincidentally, passing through an unfamiliar street and alley, I met Xia Cong, who was huddled in the corner of the wall and gasping.

At that time, Xia Cong was seriously ill and dirty. Zhu Yi rarely saw refugees, and looked at her more than pleasantly. Xia Cong was wearing a Xili skirt, which made Zhu Yi pause.

She knew a little bit of Hui dialect, hesitated for a moment, and stepped forward to try to say something to Xia Cong. Xia Cong, who was dying, heard the sound, and before he raised his eyelids, cloudy tears had gushed out. Seeing this, Zhu Yi felt unspeakably uncomfortable, she didn't feel dirty and reached out to wipe her tears for Xia Cong, and called Chulin to help save her.

Although Chu Lin was a little reluctant to have an obvious smell on his body, he was forced by Zhu Yi's obscenity, so he had no choice but to carry Xia Cong back to Jinyuan. Qiu Shui and Wen Xi returned to Jin Garden early, so when the three of them went back, Wen Xi was watching Qiu Shui play sword under the corridor. Zhu Yi, who didn't understand the amorous style, didn't have a look, and shouted loudly to Wen Xi to help prepare water.

Wen Xi answered absentmindedly, and Qiu Shui also put away his sword and smiled at her. At that time, the gentle glance of the elegant young man made Wen Xi only feel his heart beating like a drum, and he got up unnaturally. Zhu Yi finally noticed that there was an inexplicable emotion surging between the two people. She smiled, pressed Wen Xi, who was going to be busy, and boiled the water herself. Qiu Shui saw that she was busy, and he didn't have the heart to ask Xia Cong about the details, but he couldn't help sniffing his sleeves on the side, and said that he also wanted to take a bath to get rid of the smell. Qiu Shui glanced at him coldly, and the latter reluctantly shut up.

After washing, Xia Cong was physically exhausted and fell asleep for a few days. Zhu Yi spent nearly thirty taels of silver to invite a doctor to come and see her, and asked the doctor's advice, without restraining with the medicine, to plant Gu for Xia Cong to nourish her spirits.

Under the careful care of several people, Xia Cong's complexion improved a little, although it was a little difficult to get out of bed, but he was finally able to sit and talk to people for a long time.

Xia Cong, who had a miserable background, was a Han slave bought from Xili and worked as a hard labor in a large family in the small town of Wuyu in the south of the Yangtze River. Because the slaves who were a little beautiful around them would pay tribute to their masters for entertainment, and they were abandoned like shoeers after being tired of them, and ended up dying miserably, Xia Cong, who was still handsome, pretended to be ugly, and she crooked her mouth and squinted her eyes when she met people, plus she picked the dirtiest work everywhere to do, and was covered in mud all day long, so as to avoid the bad luck of being played by her master.

Xia Cong was severely beaten when he was bought, and he was hit hard in the head, and he forgot many things. She vaguely remembered that her home was in the original valley in the west, and she couldn't remember where she was in the original valley. She hid the Western Alien Skirt in her bag, and at night after the hard labor, the god of the underworld recalled the clues about her life.

The big family somehow offended the magnates of Wu Yu's small town, and they were bloodied all over the place overnight and were tragically destroyed. Xia Cong took advantage of the chaos to fall into the pile of corpses and escaped, and ran out of the fire to retrieve his clothes from the fire after the people left. She didn't dare to stay in Wu Yu anymore, and relied on begging all the way to Qiancheng.

The body was weak, and he slept in the open along the way, and before he reached Qiancheng, he fell completely ill. It happened that Qiancheng was rainy for a few days, the cold wind froze the bones, and Xia Cong, who was seriously ill, almost died in the streets and alleys. It was when there was a hallucination that he met Zhu Yi and the first arrival.

Her experience was too miserable, and Zhu Yi burst into tears when she heard it. After all, Jinyuan is Zuo Qi's place, Zhu Yi has no right to accept outsiders, and he entered the Yaozhuang Village in the morning to personally report to Zuo Qi, Zuo Chu saw that she was uncomfortable and couldn't extricate herself, and agreed while comforting her a few words.

Let's say that Xia Cong came here and spent all of Zhu Yi's savings. Xia Cong, who had never been treated so kindly, was so moved that he didn't know what to do. When she can barely get off the ground, she has to do the work to repay her. Zhu Yi asked her to recuperate in peace, and asked a few people to keep an eye on Xia Cong, so as not to toss her body.

There was no news that Zuo Qi was going to leave, so Zhu Yi seriously cultivated Gu and cured Xia Cong. Wen Xi often helps take care of Xia Cong, and the three girls get along very well. Zhu Yi took two of her Xili clothes and gave them to Xia Cong, promising to send her home when she remembered where her home was.

Chulin prefers to run outside, and usually runs without seeing anyone for a day. Zhu Yi became more and more uneasy about him, and in the dark, he always felt that he would suddenly say goodbye when he first came. Qiu Shui and Wen Xi's intentions gradually became clear, and Zhu Yi was pleasantly surprised after confirming it. Wen Xi saw her laughing at herself, her face turned crimson, and she pretended to be angry. Until one day Zhu Yi shouted "sister-in-law" without a head, Wen Xi panicked because of shame and panic, and wanted to pat Zhu Yi, but he didn't control his strength, and Zhu Yi was a little dazed. Zhu Yixing's eyes were shining, and the corners of her mouth kept glancing, and Wen Xi who was looking at it was annoyed and distressed.

In April, Zhang Yishen, who loved Gu among flowers, came to the door. Zhu Yi avoided it, and Tuo Chulin took the Gu medicine and sold it to Zhang Dagongzi. Xia Cong was basking in the sun in the garden at the time, and was seen by the lustful Zhang Yishen, who insisted on buying her home.

Xia Cong's face turned pale with fright, Chu Lin really didn't want to protect her, and he was afraid that Zhu Yi would blame himself for turning around, so he called Wen Xi to call Zhu Yi.

The angry Zhu Yi rushed over to drive Zhang Dagongzi away, but Zhang Dagongzi blew his hair handsomely, and the stench made Zhu Yi immediately retreat. Zhang Yishen had only bought so many Flower Gu the month before last, he shouldn't have found them so quickly, Zhu Yi suppressed his anger and asked him what he was asking for. Zhang Yishen wanted to come over and tease her, but knowing that her temper was not small, he made a temporary decision and put his evil intentions on the sick and weak Xia Cong.

The newly cultivated Flower Gu was counted out of the jar, and Zhu Yi took all of them and sold them to Zhang Yishen at a double price. The Gu medicine that Zhang Yishen bought before had been distributed to the gentlemen around him, and he was indeed out of stock in his hands, so he didn't care about the price, so he bought it happily.

However, after buying Zhu Yi's Gu medicine, seeing Zhu Yi staring at him, he still wanted to breathe fire, and Zhang Yishen's boss was not happy. He couldn't get involved, and he couldn't afford to spend money to take care of her business, and he couldn't make the beauty smile, and he was very unhappy.

Zhu Yi gave an eviction order and pulled out Zuo Zhu to exert his power. Zhang Yishen knew that he couldn't fight the young master of the remote case village, so he left bored.

Xia Cong breathed a sigh of relief and spit out a mouthful of blood. Xu was a slave who had lived too long, and she had already equated herself with a commodity, for fear that Zhu Yi, who had nothing to do with her, would really sell herself for gold and silver.

Zhu Yi doesn't like to play much since then, and concentrates on cultivating Gu and selling medicine, and conditioning Xia Cong.
