Chapter Twenty-Four: Burning Yourself with Fire
In the early morning in Jiangzhou, the fog was less than that in Xuzhou, and Xuzhou was closer to the sea, so Gao Ying got up early and went to the city and began to work on the stall.
The assistant cook in the back saw Gao Ying's hands idle, and went up to report: "Boss, someone has come to you recently, as well as people from the government." β
"People from the government? Ever seen it? β
Gao Ying nodded, her face was light, it would not be a bad thing.
"I've seen it, when there was a fight in the stall next door, it was that group of people, and I didn't see it."
The government received Fu Sheng's report and went to Xiaogao Bun Fang, there was no evidence to prove that Gao Ying was kidnapped, and the injured Xue Yang didn't mention a word, Fu Sheng made things go back and forth clearly, but the efficiency of the government was obviously not so high.
"Boss, where the hell have you been these days?"
The little jade girl didn't know what the boss was busy with these days, so she ran over before the things in her hand were finished, leaned on Gao Ying's back and asked.
"Make a friend, a friend of Xuzhou."
"I don't know what kind of magical person I have to make friends so far away......"
Gao Ying patted everyone, "It's done." β
Gao Ying gently knocked the sticky Xiaobai: "If you lean your head here and talk to me again, I'll stuff you into Xiaotang's belly and make it a snack." β
Xiaobai hurriedly put away his gossip head, smiled, and kept waving his hand to refuse the kindness.
Sugar is an unusual little mouse that is in a ...... In the flood, it was washed away by the flood, but it was very cute, it didn't eat meat or steal, but it often sat in a small window in front of the small high steamed bun shop and watched the operation of this steamed bun shop.
Gao Ying was delighted to find that this was a very special mouse, it didn't like to eat anything else, only a little bit of fruit, is it because it is sweet?
It's a special mouse, Little Sugar, a quiet mouse that likes to eat fruit.
Gao Ying adopted the cute mouse and made it a comfortable nest facing the sun, so that the mouse could bask in the sun to its heart's content.
It always runs out by itself to find fruit to eat in the small forest, and when it comes back, it still holds some and puts it in front of Gao Ying's door, Gao Ying will pick it up and wash it, it is a special mouse.
By the way, what about Little Sugar?
Gao Ying put down the work in her hand and ran to the back of the bun fang, looking at Xiaotang, it was quietly basking in the sun, and the sun was very warm today.
A little girl in the shop had just finished her work and was changing the nest of the mouse, she was a clever girl, and she made a small cotton mat at home, which was just made last night.
"Boss, I did this, you see!"
The little girl raised the newly made cotton wool cushion in her hand to show Gao Ying, Gao Ying squatted down and pinched it, it was really soft, and the handwork was much better than Gao Ying's, "Your handiwork is very good, come, quickly spread it." β
Squeak β
The mouse turned around and squatted there, and when he saw Gao Ying coming, he ran a few steps and squatted at her feet, leaning on Gao Ying's shoes.
"Wow-"
"Boss, this little mouse really has a spirit, it won't be like this when I pass by here."
Nanfeng is recuperating Qi Wuji, Qi Wuji's injury is serious, it takes a lot of time to recover, and the time to get along is limited, Qi Wuji is exempt from those unnecessary courtesies, and only thinks that Nanfeng is a life-saving benefactor.
Nanfeng was recuperating on his side, and at the same time found his subordinates to boil medicine, only such an urgent arrangement could ensure that Qi Wuji would return to Beijing within normal time.
"Seventh Master, our trip this time is known to the whole court, there is no reason to blame the three princes, and the evidence is all on the ship, and now I can't find it."
Lao Yanda heard Gao Ying's residence, did not say hello, set a fire to Gao Ying's steamed bun fang, that day, Gao Jin ran to the steamed bun fang to send some herbs to Gao Ying.
Recently, there was a disease raging in the city, and I heard that other families were selling medicinal porridge, so Gao Jin also went to buy some good medicinal herbs, ready to surprise Gao Ying.
A fire that burned everything and burned everything clean.
The beams of the steamed bun fang, all the people who worked, and even a silk shop next to the small high steamed bun fang, only Gao Ying, who didn't go back that day, survived.
People from the government have to come to check, and they have to come every day, with a lot of utensils and a lot of people, pens, ink, paper, inkstones, everything.
"Gao Ying, do you know anything else?"
Jiangzhou prefect, a confused old man, after the previous prefect stepped down, I don't know why he was climbed up by this person.
"I've already said everything I know, haven't you heard enough?"
The prefect waved his hand: "Give her the record that should be done, and she can leave after writing." β
Gao Ying was helped out, she was a little sister who had been helped by her before, but now she couldn't do anything other than this kind of help.
"What's going on out there?"
Chen Fei sat in the carriage, and the scene outside looked a little ...... Sad?
Chen Fei tilted his head sideways and lifted the curtain to look over, what is the white matter in this woman's house?
The street looks the same as before, but this woman's sadness is a little abrupt, and her walking posture has a momentary trance in Chen Fei's eyes, as if she has seen it somewhere.
Everything disappeared, Gao Ying stood at home, feeling that she had long since lost her former appearance, and when she turned around, she saw Fu Sheng walking behind her, she didn't say anything, and let Fu Sheng walk beside her.
"What are you going to do in the future?"
"Revenge."
"Where are you going for revenge?"
Gao Ying knew that such a thing would not happen for no reason, it must be the revenge of that group of people, and her eyes were lonely with a piercing light.
"I'm going to the capital to report, I'm going to win this official! Let those people bury my mother! β
As soon as the corners of Gao Ying's clothes swayed in Fu Sheng's hand, she couldn't catch the traces anymore, Gao Ying had no nostalgia here except for Gao Jin, Fu Sheng packed some luggage for her, put on the silver taels that Gao Ying needed, and prepared a horse for Gao Ying.
"You don't have to do this for me."
Fu Sheng looked at Gao Ying, she was still the same her, but in Fu Sheng's eyes, she couldn't find the little girl who used to hold flowers under the tree.
"But I'm willing to do it, it's what I'm willing to do."
Gao Ying turned her back to Fu Sheng for a long time: "Do you have any acquaintances in the capital?" β
"Yes, but my dad ......"
"Okay, I got it."
"Take care, you don't have to send it."
Fu Sheng watched Gao Ying ride away on horseback, gradually disappearing from his gaze, and he didn't know how to comfort him.
From then on, there was no longer a woman named Gao Ying in Jiangnan, only a person who entered Beijing alone.
Hexi areaββ
Gao Ying walked all the way, there was not a single tear in her eyes, she had already cried cleanly.
Qi Wuji's carriage was not far from Gao Ying, and the south wind could only send them here, and the rest of the way, Qi Wuji said that he would go by himself.
