Chapter 605: The Inn Enters the Thief
Absolutely. Xia Jingnian opened his eyes and said nonsense, "I hope we will be together for a hundred years and never separate." ”
What he said made Ji Qiang's face red again, Xia Jingnian laughed twice, knocked her forehead to avoid it, and Ji Qiang chased after him.
Chasing to a small stall, Ji Qiang was attracted by a hosta.
Ji Qiang's incomparably beautiful face was reflected in the old man's eyes, and he was extremely stunning.
"Girl, you are so beautiful. The people who come to my stall have all taken a fancy to this hairpin, but no one wears it with that charm. The old man was full of praise and boasted, "They don't look good when they wear them, and I don't want to sell them." Since this hairpin is so compatible with you, why don't you give it to you as an old man? ”
"No." Ji Qiang was a little embarrassed by the old man's praise, "I still have to give you money." ”
The old man waved his hand again and again, "This hairpin didn't look good when anyone wore it before, which means that I haven't met someone who is destined before." Today is a fate with a girl, so why not send you? ”
"Uncle, it's hard for you to set up a stall here, this is fifty taels of silver, you can take it." Xia Jingnian took out a silver ticket and handed it to the old man.
"Where is this hairpin worth so much money! I can't accept you so much......" The old man waved his hand again and again, Xia Jingnian didn't speak, stuffed it into the old man's hand, took Ji Qiang's hand and turned away, and didn't give the old man a chance to continue to refuse.
The two continued to walk forward, passing by a sugar gourd seller, Ji Qiang frowned and said, "Sugar gourds have eaten too much and have a toothache, otherwise let's buy one, right?" I can't finish eating, can you help me eat? ”
Xia Jingnian smiled dotingly: "Okay." ”
The two of them took a bite and ate the sugar gourd. At this time, it is getting late, and when I go back to the palace, I am afraid that I will have already given the key when I get to the palace gate, so it is better to stay outside the palace for one night, and it is more convenient to go back tomorrow.
Besides, the two of them have done such things before, and people who want to come to the palace are used to it.
Neither of them is the kind of squeamish person, so they found a nearby inn with relatively good conditions to live in.
In the middle of the night, Xia Jingnian always felt that there was movement. He was already sleeping lightly, but now he is outside, in order to better protect Ji Qiang, he is more vigilant.
He pricked up his ears and listened carefully, and although the visitor was on tiptoe, he could still hear the footsteps, and he had gone to the next room.
Gently push the door open, I don't know if it's for money or for life.
After a long time, the woman in the next room cried so violently that the guests of the inn were woken up.
Ji Qiang rubbed her sleepy eyes and asked, "What's wrong?" ”
"There's a thief next door, and the woman is crying." Xia Jingnian got up, "I'll go and take a look." ”
Ji Qiang put on a dress and went with her, and was pressed back by Xia Jingnian, "I just have to go and see, you can sleep." ”
"It's so noisy, I can't sleep, forget it, let's go with you." When I got to the next door, I saw the woman sitting on the ground patting her thighs, crying snot and tears.
The shopkeeper and Xiao Er were all around him, and some other guests were also around there, Ji Qiang inquired and knew the ins and outs.
This woman came to Beijing with her three-year-old child for medical treatment, and the family did not have much money. But for the sake of their son, the whole family still scraped together a lot of silver taels and borrowed a lot from neighbors, so that they could bring their children to the capital.
In order to save some silver, only this woman was allowed to accompany her, and the men in the family were reluctant to come to the capital with them, because they were afraid of the flower plate entanglement.
"How much money do you have?" Ji Qiang asked curiously.
The man sighed and said, "The left is only twenty taels of silver." This is nothing to the people in the capital, but how many years does it take for such a farmer to save enough twenty taels of silver? This thief is also really, there are so many rich and noble families who do not steal, but they go to such poor families. ”
The woman's crying became louder and louder, and the shopkeeper and Xiao Er couldn't persuade her.
I don't know if this is because I feel sorry for the loss of money, or because I feel sorry for my son's illness and I can't save it.
Compare her heart to her heart, if she were to replace her, Ji Qiang would definitely cry. Everyone present thought so, so no one blamed the woman, which is their greatest kindness.
Ji Qiang is also a person with children, and it just so happens that they are all the same age as this child, so they can best understand this woman's feelings.
I was very sad at the moment, and I stepped forward to help the woman, but was stopped by Xia Jingnian, "Are you going to help her?" ”
"Of course, you see how pitiful she is crying, it makes people feel distressed to watch." The child next to him stood cautiously beside his mother, very cramped, a pair of small hands did not know where to put it, tears were swirling in his eyes, but he did not let it fall, for fear that if he cried, his mother felt even more uncomfortable.
This kid is really sensible and distressing.
"How do you want to help? Do you want to give her two pieces of silver? She'll be grateful to you, but the underlying problem isn't solved yet. Xia Jingnian stopped Ji Qiangdao.
Ji Qiang was so smart that she was blinded by compassion, and as soon as Xia Jingnian said it at this time, she understood immediately.
The solution to the problem was to catch the thief and ask him to return the money to the woman, and then they would come to help.
In fact, Xia Jingnian also felt guilty about that woman in his heart. He had heard the thief's footsteps, but he had not stopped her, leaving the woman sad and desperate. He didn't help, and he didn't want to go.
The next day, early in the morning, Xia Jingnian went to the nearby mansion, revealed his identity, and ordered him to search for the thief with all his might.
With Xia Jingnian's personal order, where does the government dare to slacken? At that moment, all the catchers were sent to find clues and search for people in the whole city.
On the other side, Ji Qiang turned into an ordinary doctor and went to the next room.
The woman's eyes were red and swollen from crying, and the child was lying on the bed, and her face was very bad. After yesterday, the shopkeeper was also moved by compassion and deliberately exempted her from paying for a few days, which made the woman very grateful.
Otherwise, they will be sleeping on the streets.
"Auntie, I have a little medical skills, can you let me give the child a pulse diagnosis?" Ji Qiang knocked on her door and asked softly.
The woman saw that it was a very beautiful girl, "How can this be embarrassing......" The woman stood up, blessed her body slightly, and said embarrassedly.
"It's not easy for everyone to go out, if you can help, you naturally have to help, auntie, my medical skills are still shallow, so I can only do my best." Ji Qiang's words made people feel like a spring breeze, and the aunt was in a hurry, so naturally she would not shirk again.
After checking the pulse, Ji Qiang frowned: "The child's wind chill is a little serious, I have to go to the hospital to grab some medicine, just boil a few more." I have some silver taels here, you can take them to the child first. ”
"This ......" the woman held the purse, not knowing what to say, "you and I meet in the water, how can I ......"
Ji Qianglai smiled softly: "It's okay, I also have children, compare your heart to your heart, you go quickly." ”
The aunt's eyes turned red again in an instant, and as soon as her knees bent, she knelt down for Ji Qiang.
