As soon as Dongfang revealed the white of the fish belly, Huo Zun rubbed his eyebrows and stood up from the table of the Eight Immortals, and rushed out as soon as he entered the bedroom.

"Doctor, please!"

He roared, and the yard immediately became busy.

Entering the bedroom, he looked at the dying Xia Qian and the blood-stained bedding, his body was like someone had stabbed him from behind, and the flesh and blood were peeled off from the wound little by little.

On the night he came back from the battlefield in southern Xinjiang, he punished her madly, and she committed suicide by disfiguring herself and cutting her wrists.

This time, he expressed his sincerity for several hours with tenderness and affection, and she was still madly self-harming.

He could see that she hated him so much now that she couldn't go back!

The wounds were long and short, deep and shallow, but fortunately there were no fatalities, and after he carefully applied some trauma medicine to her, he helped her put on clothes.

When the doctor arrived, it was already dark, and he looked at Xia Qian for a long time, saying that although the injury would not be fatal, it was easy to be infected in the summer and her body was too weak, so she had to rest assured for a few days.

Everything is exactly what she wants, and no one will harass her to recuperate.

Thinking like this, Huo Zun entered the bedroom.

He looked at her quietly, his eyes indestructible.

"I won't touch you again, and no one here will harass you again. You can come and go freely, but you are not allowed to stay overnight, leave Qinglong City, or entangle with other people. It's the same after Bai Bing comes back, this is my greatest tolerance! ”

After a long time, he dropped this sentence and turned to leave.

Xia Qian looked at his departing back, and it was hard to believe his eyes for a while.

For more than ten days, no one came in the West Courtyard, not only could she enter and leave the General's Mansion freely, but also unexpectedly received her own expenses.

In addition, there is also the three-grade lady of the fate, half a year, the two add up to nine hundred taels of silver.

The money from the last sale of jewelry was still 19,000 taels, so she felt that she had instantly become a little rich woman again.

One day, she went out to buy groceries, and found that everyone was still staring at her with curiosity, she pursed her lips in embarrassment, found a coachman, packed a few boxes of turnips and rushed back.

On the way, she met a few women who sold her daughter, Xia Qian pondered it, and felt that if she received a maid, she would not have to go to the street to be watched by people in the future, so she asked the coachman to take a step forward and went to see the meeting.

"The family is really poor and can't take the pot, my daughter is diligent, smart and sensible, you can give thirty taels of silver!" A middle-aged man cried as he pointed to his three daughters.

"My daughter only needs twenty taels of silver, she eats little with her hands and feet, she is smart and understanding, and she asks well-wishers to give her a way to live!" A middle-aged woman beside him cried even more miserably.

Xia Qian felt that although these girls were covered with dust, they looked pretty good, so she took out a hundred taels of silver and asked who was willing to be a maid for her, but none of the dozen or so girls were willing.

"Why, I can provide you with food and clothing, and give you ten taels of silver every month, why don't you want to be a maid for me?" She asked, surprised.

Those people all bowed their heads and were silent, Xia Qian felt that it was probably because of her ugly appearance that scared others, she sighed and was about to turn around, but the two of them scrambled to shout.

"It's coming, it's coming! Hurry up and get ready! Sell your daughter, the poor family really can't open the pot, just give thirty taels of silver. The man shouted loudly.

The middle-aged woman shouted even more vigorously: "Twenty taels of silver, I am a good girl, I eat less with my hands and feet, and I am smart and understanding!" ”

"My girl is good, fifteen taels of silver!"

……

Xia Qian looked at the two of them, shouting with anger in her belly, and looked along their line of sight, and found that a handsome boy with a scholar was walking towards them not far away.

"Zhuangyuanlang, my family is really poor and can't open the pot, please do it so that you can accept my girl as a maid. Only fifteen taels! ”

"My daughter only needs ten taels of silver!"

……

The two of them grabbed the chicken and goose one by one, and Xia Qian finally understood their thoughts - sharpened his head and pasted his daughter upside down on this young upstart!

Why don't you say that your daughter can warm the bed and fold the waist of the water snake!

She looked at her disdainfully, ready to leave.

"Well, more than a dozen girls are all good, so I just accept them together, but I don't have so many silver taels on me now, and I still have to wait patiently, so I'll send someone to get them!"

The man's pure voice spread in the air, and all the people around him surrounded him, and Xia Qian looked back curiously when she saw this.

This person is in the wind, his appearance is better than Pan An, his expression is calm and peaceful, and his dark green clothes are as smooth as a waterfall, so that he has a bit of Lu Jingheng's temperament.

She stood aside, quietly admiring the champion who had just been named on the gold list, and by the way, she looked at the dozen or so aspiring young women who had bent over to be maids.

The looks are good, just the women's ambitions, the men's sea is inclusive, zucchini with pumpkin, mung beans with Wang Ba - it couldn't be more suitable.

It didn't take much effort for Zhuang Yuanlang's scholar to come back, and he also brought a group of personal guards with him.

After the guards came, they arrested all these people without saying a word.

"It's still the champion Lang who is aware of everything, we have been chasing the case for several months, so you can solve it in three days!" One of the leaders of the guards bowed his hand in thanks.

"I'm just lucky, these people know that I have just entered Beijing, and there is only a scholar by my side, and the emperor rewarded me again yesterday, so they caught my attention. If I hadn't heard about these people's modus operandi that day, I would have stolen my home after I brought them back! The champion said modestly, and his smile was extremely gentle.

After the guards pressed more than a dozen people to leave, Xia Qian also turned around and wanted to leave, when suddenly, someone grabbed her from behind.

"Eun Gong? It's really you! “

was suddenly pulled by the other party, she almost fell to the ground, stood up and glared at the man fiercely, and said angrily: "Look at it, I'm here to buy a maid, not to sell myself!" “

"Engong, it's me, He Jinliang! After more than a year, I was suffering from tuberculosis, and you gave me medicine and silver, which not only cured me and my father's illness, but also encouraged me to gain fame! “

Xia Qian thought about it carefully, last year, when he wandered the world with the sheepskin bag of elixir given by the red old fairy, he did save a pair of father and son who were suffering from tuberculosis behind him, and heard that the young man was a showman, and he also gave him a thousand taels of silver to get famous.

"Engong, after taking the medicine you gave us, my father and I recovered in two months. After settling down with my father, I took the township examination, the general examination, and in April this year, I took the palace examination, and I won the top prize with the blessing of heaven and the grace of the emperor. Engong is very gracious, and he will never forget it, and he hopes to be worshiped in the next one! He Jinliang said that he was about to kneel and kowtow.

Xia Qian panicked, quickly pulled him up, and changed the topic lightly: "You are the champion now, you can't make me stupid when you worship me on the street?" Why don't you tell me what the examination method is, and I will try it next year to see if I can take the test? ”

He Jinliang knew that Xia Qian didn't want him to be laughed at on the street, after all, Zhuang Yuanlang, who had just been admitted to Beijing, had a poor family, no power and power, and was easy to be ostracized, and he had tuberculosis, which would be taken advantage of by many people to suppress and alienate.

He Jinliang thought for a while and said sincerely: "Engong Shengde, if it is useful to go down again, just open your mouth!" ”

"Okay, I will! Since you are going to live in Qinglong City in the future, maybe we will meet again. My name is Xia Qian, and I don't need to call Engong in the future! Xia Qian said with a chuckle.

"You, you're Xia Qian?"

She knew that she was notorious and had nothing to hide, so she thought about it and nodded seriously.

"The world is rumoring, saying that you look like a fairy, peerless, I have been thinking about what kind of fairy it will be, can you be half a point with my Engong, I didn't expect it to be You!"

He Jinliang said and took out a thick booklet from his sleeve to show her, this booklet recorded the deeds of celebrities in the past 20 years, and Xia Qian actually ranked first among the strange women on the list, which wrote her deeds clearly, and the title also blatantly noted eight words - like a fairy, peerless.

"Peerless? I don't know who wrote this book, but I didn't see my face! Xia Qian smiled awkwardly.

"It's just skin, why should Engong care! This "Pincui" was circulated a month ago, and the author has no way to verify it, but it was written half a year ago. But all the characters in it are true, so everyone is convinced. This book is now a big seller, and it will soon spread all over the world, and every household will be able to see it! ”

Seeing what He Jinliang said with relish, Xia Qian casually flipped through the book, and found that there were still records about Lin Qianxue, Situ Jun, Tuoba Jin, Que Ming and Lu Jingheng, so she asked the other party if she could borrow this book and take it back to read for a few days.

He Jinliang gave her the book very happily, and Xia Qian took the book and returned to the general's mansion with great expectations.
