Chapter 112: Apprenticeship

Before dawn, Hongjing hurriedly came to knock on the door, saying that Zhao Zhi was hot, and she was hot, and she didn't know what to do.

Xiao Dong slept in a daze, listened to the door banging outside in a hurry, and got dressed up.

Did Qin Lie get his wish last night?

Well, some things can be said to be predestined by God, and when the two of them were not asleep, it suddenly began to rain. The rain was heavy and heavy. There was a lot of noise all around. In such an environment, let alone the squeaky slabs, even if the two of them really wrestled in the house, others would not be able to tell the difference.

When the rain outside gradually subsided, Qin Lie went downstairs to fetch water and bring it up, and it was almost four days at that time.

So Xiaodong was not in good spirits, he was in a hurry, he was a little dizzy in front of him, and he couldn't see anything clearly for a while, so he relieved himself and asked, "Have you seen it?" ”

"I've seen it, but I don't have enough herbs to use."

Qin Lie said: "If there is anything missing, I will ask people to go to the front street warehouse to get it." ”

Hongjing took out the medicine master prescribed by Lang Zhong, and circled a few medicines at the bottom, all of which were not available at home. Qin Lie didn't care about anything else, so he called someone to get the medicine first.

Xiao Dong simply freshened up and went to see Zhao Zhi. Her eyes were closed, her cheeks were red, her lips were blistering, and she didn't look very good.

"What did Lang Zhong say?"

"It's just that it's a physical deficiency and a cold." Hongjing whispered: "I came to see before I went to bed last night, and the windows were closed, but you see, it was boring in the middle of the night and opened again." It was raining at night and the wind was cool. ”

Most of this is the reason.

"Where's the kid?"

"The seventh sister-in-law in the front yard is helping to take care of it, I'm afraid that I'm too sick here, next door."

The seventh sister-in-law was the local woman in Suizhou who delivered the meal yesterday, she was wearing a short shirt and a flower skirt embroidered with fire phoenix flowers on a black background, and she was coaxing the child. Xiao Dong still doesn't know what his name is, and Zhao Zhi only calls him baby.

The accent of the seventh sister-in-law is too strong, and Xiao Dong can understand her words at most, and most of them can't understand it. She even said with a gesture, which meant that she was going to work, and the child had been fed.

Xiao Dong took the child over, this child didn't recognize life at all, he was full of food and drink, and when he saw Xiao Dong, he grinned and giggled.

Looking at him, Xiao Dong was a little happy and a little sad.

This kid...... In the future, I am afraid that it will be another Qin Lie.

But isn't it, no grandma, no uncle, no father and no grandma-

Xiao Dong touched his head with emotion.

The medicine was decocted and fed to Zhao Zhi. After noon, the fever gradually subsided, but the person did not have the strength to get up. But the day was not over, and in the evening she burned again. This was repeated until the third day, when he got a little better, and he lost a whole weight and his eyes were sunken. When Xiao Dong saw her again, he was almost unrecognizable. Zhao Zhi was only two or three years older than her, but now she looked like a person in her thirties and forties, with dry hair and blank eyes. Her cheeks, once plump and delicate like peach petals, are now like leaves of hay withered by the wind.

There is no more famous Langzhong in Suizhou, so he invited two of them, one said something similar to what the Langzhong at home said, and the other said that most of them were still frightened and uneasy.

Xiao Dong also feels that the latter statement may be closer to the truth.

When Xiao Dong entered the house, Zhao Zhi hugged the quilt, raised her head to look at her, and turned her face away.

"What do you think? But are you better? ”

Zhao Zhi was silent, and Xiaodong asked Hongjing: "Can I take the medicine?" ”

"Just ate it."

Zhao Zhi suddenly said, "I have something I want to say to you." ”

Xiao Dong was stunned and glanced at the red wattle. Hongjing said knowingly: "I'll go and see if the water is rolling." ”

But she didn't dare to go far when she went out, and after taking a few steps, she quietly turned back and listened at the door. The most Hongjing heard from Hu Shi was: The heart of guarding against people is indispensable. Although Zhao Zhi is sick and crooked, if she really has something to think about, then she has to pay more attention.

After Hongjing went out, Zhao Zhi didn't speak for a long time. Xiao Dong was not in a hurry to ask her.

"Xiaodong, do you say there are ghosts in this world?"

Xiao Dong never thought that she would ask such a sentence: "Of course not." ”

Zhao Zhi nodded, her voice hoarse: "I want to ask you for something." What if something happens to me...... Take care of my children. ”

Xiao Dong was taken aback: "Don't talk nonsense, you are still young, and you are not suffering from any serious illness, you will be well in two or three days." ”

Zhao Zhi just shook her head. Xiao Dong persuaded her again, but she didn't say anything.

When she came out of the house, not only did she have red wattles outside, but Hu also came. The two walked away from the house, and then Hu Shi lowered his voice and said, "County Lord, come back and tell the people who take care of her, I'm afraid that Zhao Zhi will find a short-term meeting." ”

Xiao Dong was shocked. What Hu said makes too much sense. The despair in Zhao Zhi's words just now was full of an ominous atmosphere.

"Yes, what my mother said makes sense, I didn't expect ......" But: "Is Zhao Zhi willing to have children?" ”

"According to common sense, it should be reluctant, but she is sick again at this time, so it is difficult to say. Besides, it would be much better for this child to have you in care than to follow her. Alas, Zhao Zhi can be regarded as I grew up watching, if it weren't for her father doing something like that......"

Yes, if King Jingjun didn't rebel, of course everything would not be like this now.

Parents can't be chosen, no wonder Zhao Zhi. But the Zhang family's business...... Who is right and who is wrong, Xiao Dong can't tell.

Hu Shi saw that her brows were furrowed, and wanted to make her happy, so he smiled and said, "By the way, the Li family sent someone to send a gift, and it was placed in front of it, you can go and take a look." ”

"Gift-giving?"

Why did you suddenly give gifts?

Xiao Dong went to the front to see, and the person sent by the Li family was very respectful and polite, presented the gift list, and specially explained: "The six lifts placed over there are for Zhang Ziqian and Zhang Gongzi." ”

Xiao Dong glanced at it, this list was divided left and right, and the one given to Zhang Ziqian was not thinner than the one given to them, and it was very complete, and there were four jars of aged wine.

Which one is this singing? Li Wanhe and Zhang Ziqian have no friendship - what do you want to do to give such a generous gift?

Zhang Ziqian came in from outside, wearing a short linen robe that the locals would wear, and at first glance he looked like a local. However, most of the people here are dark-skinned, but he is fair-skinned, which is not at all like this.

"Well, look, someone has given you a gift."

Zhang Ziqian took the gift list and didn't look at it. The person from the Li family was very polite and was very respectful to Zhang Ziqian: "My master ordered that a banquet be held at home tonight, and Master Qin, Mrs., and Zhang Zigongzi must come." My master would like to thank Zhang Gongzi for his teachings to the two sons. ”

Xiao Dong was curious to die, and as soon as the man left, he hurriedly asked, "What does that person from the Li family mean?" What did you teach the Li brothers in those days? ”

Zhang Ziqian just smiled: "Half-grown child, it's just a lot of play, and there's nothing on the side." They can't make it impossible for them to cheat me, and they can't force their way in. I didn't teach them anything, they were honest themselves. When I looked at them, I figured out some things, and after getting off the boat, I honestly went home. ”

It turned out that the Li family gave him a heavy gift for this, and Xiao Dong couldn't admire it.

It's really a brine tofu.

Li Wanhe didn't have anything to do, Qin Liemin couldn't rectify them, and he was obedient when he got to Zhang Ziqian.

"So, I'm still stained with your light."

"Who's in whose light?"

Qin Lie strode in, and when he saw those gifts, he was also slightly surprised. Xiao Dong smiled and said what happened just now, and Qin Lie was also surprised: "No wonder they didn't make noise or make trouble when they got off the boat, it turned out that you were shocked." Cheng, let's go to Li's house for dinner tonight. ”

Xiao Dong was a little worried about Zhao Zhi, Hu asked her to just go, and she would take care of her at home.

Xiao Dong glanced through the window, Zhao Zhi was sleeping deeply, and it didn't seem that there was anything wrong.

In the twilight, the Li family's stockade was built in the middle of the mountain, and the torches and lanterns illuminated half of the mountain. Li Wanhe greeted him with a smile on his face, his complexion was better than when he was in the capital, and people were always more comfortable in their own places. Yao Jinfeng's waist can already be seen to be pregnant, she is a little fatter, and her original bright beauty has added a little softness. Xiao Dong was naturally happy to see her. The two spoke in a low voice.

"The journey was very smooth, but since the day before yesterday, I began to feel a little happy, and I wanted to vomit when I smelled anything, especially when I got up in the morning. I didn't want to eat the things I loved before, but now I don't want to eat the things I didn't want to pay attention to, but now I can't think about it. ”

Xiao Dong smiled and said, "Well, I've heard of it too, and many people are like this. It is said that some people still want to eat watermelon for 39 days. ”

Yao Jinfeng stuck out his tongue: "It's really difficult, where to get watermelon in winter." She touched her slightly bulging lower abdomen with her hand, as if she was worried, if she wanted to eat watermelon in the third and ninth season, how could it be good?

"By the way, I haven't thanked you yet, Yanzi's girl has been much more honest since she came back."

"Really?" Xiao Dong was also very surprised. She didn't expect a few days of needlework to turn that girl's temperament around.

"Well, I don't talk back when I come back, and I don't want to run around, I can actually stay in the house." Yao Jinfeng said: "Yesterday, I said that I wanted to read a book. ”

Her face is white and red, her complexion is excellent, her eyebrows and eyes are crooked when she laughs, and there is an indescribable moving and rich charm.

No wonder women are afraid of marrying the wrong man, and marrying someone is very important to women.

The banquet is complete, Suizhou does not pay attention to the defense of men and women, Xiaodong and Yao Jinfeng sit at the same table with them. After three rounds of drinking, Li Changhe apologized for the recklessness of the two brothers, and thanked Zhang Ziqian.

"Zhang Gongzi, although it is the first time we have met today, I think you are also a straightforward person, so I will have something to say. My brother went early, leaving this pair of demon kings of the mixed world, I was very sad, I was afraid that none of them would be good, and I would have no shame to see my brother and sister-in-law in the future. These two children have never served anyone since they were young, but when they came back that day, they told me that they wanted to learn from you as a teacher. I also know it's a reluctant invitation......"

Xiao Dong and Qin Lie were also surprised and glanced at each other.
