Chapter 58: Please settle the bill
Ying Xiang jerked her hand away from Yi Kang's hand and shook her head.
“…… Why is the county lord here? She looked out of the door, and through the screen, she saw Bai Yi and Zheng Mi who had turned back again, and she quickly lowered her head, "Is the big county lord here with you?" ”
"My sister didn't come, I ran out secretly." Yikang replied in a low voice, "I heard from them that something happened to you, and you were detained in Jing Zhaoyin's yamen, I-"
"That's good, the big county lord will be angry!"
"Then tell me now, what the hell is going on?"
The two girls quarreled low on the edge of the bed, and Zheng Mi stood beside him with his arms in his arms and listened.
Bai Yi was a little uncomfortable standing next to him - this was simply listening to the corner.
The two girls in distress did not look like master and servant, but like sisters.
However, this kind of deep love drama couldn't touch Bai Yi's nerves, it only made him feel noisy. He wanted to go out and wait, but he just took a step into the courtyard, and Zheng Mi immediately clamped his arm tightly, for fear that he would take the opportunity to run away.
When Yikang finished visiting Yingxiang and came out again, Bai Yi understood why Zheng Mi didn't let go - to a certain extent, the county lord of Yikang was really extremely difficult.
In the courtyard of the side yard, Yikang aggressively asked about Yingxiang's injury, and every sentence was filled with a gun and a stick, so angry that Bai Yi couldn't help but want to roll his eyes.
But with the bearing of an adult, he still answered every question of Yikang calmly with a professional smile.
After asking everything in detail, Yikang finally breathed a sigh of relief, she lowered her head a little distractedly, and the sound of breathing gradually calmed down.
"Any other questions?" Bai Yi asked softly.
"It's gone." Yikang replied in a low voice, her five fingers gently inserted into her hair, gently brushing up a few strands of messy hair at the corners of her forehead, and her voice suddenly turned cold, "You treat me well, otherwise-"
Before Yikang finished speaking, Bai Yi had already spread out his right hand and stretched it out in front of her eyes, Yikang opened Bai Yi's hand, "What are you doing?" ”
Bai Yi was condescending and said, "The county lord will settle today's consultation fee first." ”
"Eh......" Yikang's eyes showed a blankness, "Consultation fee?" ”
"That's right," Bai Yi put his hands in his sleeves, "This maid of yours has invited several ** husbands, and everyone said that it can't be cured, only I can cure it." Moreover, her wounds need to be cleaned every day in the future, and I have to go back and forth between the Tai Hospital and Jingzhao Yin Yamen, and we have to calculate the transportation fee. ”
Yikang was stunned.
After a moment of silence, her face turned slightly red, and her voice suddenly lowered, "Qian...... Money, I'm ...... I don't have it yet, but-"
Bai Yi sneered, "The dignified county lord said that he has no money, I think ...... It's not like you're trying to pay the bills. ”
"I'm not going to pay for it." Yikang immediately raised her head, her eyes were fixed on Bai Yi, and her breathing became rapid again.
Bai Yi calmly agreed, "The medicine money and some materials are in the accounts of the yamen, I don't charge you, my consultation fee is one or two silver at a time, and I have to settle it every day." ”
Yikang bit his lip, "Yes." When Yingxiang is ready, I'll be-"
"Don't you understand what the county lord means?" Bai Yi directly interrupted Yikang's words, his face as cold as a winter ice cube.
Yikang lowered his head, not knowing what he was thinking for a moment.
Zheng Mi looked at this atmosphere, held back a smile, and decided to come out to be a peacemaker, but before he could speak, the county lord of Yikang, who was standing there, had already taken off the jade bracelet on his wrist.
She grabbed Bai Yi's hand and pressed the bracelet hard against Bai Yi's palm, "You take this first." ”
Bai Yi didn't look at it, and directly accepted the bracelet.
"Mortgage, right?" He said softly, "It's not impossible, the county lord made a note and pressed the handprint." ”
"Written notes?" Yikang's eyes widened, "You, want, I, make a note?" ”
Bai Yi looked away and said softly, "County Lord Jin Zhi Yuye, turn around and bite me for stealing your jade bracelet, who am I looking for revenge?" If you don't make a note, the county lord of the bracelet will take it back, and as for your maid, let Lord Zheng ask for another master. ”
Yikang gritted his teeth, a grunt of unknown meaning in his throat.
She couldn't help but have a sore nose and her eyes were slightly hot.
Grow so big...... I haven't been bullied like this by anyone.
But Bai Yi looked away indifferently and didn't look at it.
Yikang clenched his fists.
“…… I stand. She whispered, "You...... You treat her well, it's fine. ”
After a short time, the note was set up in duplicate.
After the ink dried, Bai Yi folded the note in half and put it into his sleeve in front of him, and then strode away with the instrument and the jade bracelet.
Zheng Mi sent Bai Yi out as usual, and when he completely left the courtyard behind him, he couldn't help laughing.
"Except for the county lord of Yining, I haven't seen anyone who can lower the county lord of Yikang." Zheng Mi gently patted Bai Yi's shoulder, "You dare to mess with anyone." ”
Bai Yi snorted, "Lord Zheng seems to be very familiar with the county lord." ”
"Is it cooked?"
"Familiar, the county lord basically doesn't need to show the way after entering the door, you said that she was in the side yard, and she went directly to this side."
Zheng Mi smiled, "The father of the county lord of Yikang and I are Jinshi in the same year, and then I became a wealthy person, so there is less contact. However, he still brought the little county lord over to play a few times before his death. Later, there was an accident in the little county lord's family, and she was taken up the mountain by the county lord of Yining to raise her, and she basically saw one or two times during the New Year's holidays...... It's not cooked. ”
"...... something happened?"
"Hmm." Zheng Mi nodded, but he didn't intend to expand it, he was thinking about how to divert the topic elsewhere, when he suddenly stopped.
Bai Yi bumped into Zheng Mi's shoulder, and when he saw that his face changed slightly, he followed his gaze.
Not far away, a middle-aged woman in a heavy robe walked slowly towards this side.
Zheng Mi patted his sleeve and stepped aside.
Bai Yi also followed and stopped, and asked in a low voice, "...... Who is that? ”
"Lord Yining."
Zheng Mi's eyes were lowered, his face was solemn, and he lowered his voice and replied quickly.
The middle-aged woman approached slowly, dignified and elegant with every step, but there was no smile on her face, as did the female Taoists who followed her.
Before this, Bai Yi had never experienced the real feeling of "frost" in anyone.
But when the county lord approached, he clearly felt that even the wind was a little colder.
When she walked, her shoulders really barely moved, her eyes always looked straight ahead, only the two feet under her dress, moving slowly at some kind of compliant pace.
When he was still five or six steps away from Zheng Mi, the county lord of Yining stopped.
Perhaps because she has no expression all year round, she has few wrinkles on her face. Bai Yi heard Zeng Jiuyan say that this county lord of Yining is now close to the age of confusion, but if it weren't for the unstoppable folds on his neck, Bai Yi might think that this county lord is really the eldest sister of the thirteen-year-old girl - the kind of twenty-five or six.
"Lord Zheng." Yining spoke in a serious tone, "Where is Yikang?" ”
