"Girl, is it me?"

He was in his thirties, with gentle eyes and a smile on his face, and a small black "eight" beard sleeping quietly next to his upper lip.

If it weren't for the fact that she was a little hunched on her back, she would not have been able to connect this person with the old man who had cheated the corpse that day.

"You?" Xia Qian couldn't help but smile and looked at the other party again, "Young and strong, and quite handsome, why do you have to turn into a ghost and run to steal the money of the dead?" ”

Similar to the words he asked her that day, similar to the tone in which he questioned her.

The other party smiled and said four words - love has to be!

I have to do it!

Why is he the only one who has to do it?

When he walked in, the box in Xia Qian's hand had been closed, and he only took a few pages of poetry and looked at it.

Therefore, she concluded that he did not have any desire to seek her for money, so she began to chat with him easily.

During the conversation, she learned that this person's nickname was radish, and he was a victim of the flooding of the Xuyu River, and wandered all the way to Qinglong City, and then opened a ceramic workshop outside the west of the city, and the business was already sluggish, and he also adopted more than 20 orphans.

Lack of food and clothing, illness is rampant, and several children are gone, so he has to sneak into Yizhuang to steal money from the dead.

"Now that the war is in chaos and floods, many people are too late to protect themselves, I didn't expect you to be so generous and righteous Brother Radish and raise so many orphans!" Xia Qian sighed lightly.

The man smiled innocently, and said that compared to her, he was just a drop in the bucket.

Xia Qian was stunned, there was nothing to be curious about when she thought about it, after she was humiliated on the street in front of so many people by Kuo Tianchen last time, it is estimated that the scandal has already spread throughout Qinglong City.

Now, this bloody face is like a business card, and others will know that it is her at a glance!

She smiled awkwardly and said no more.

Radish sat down on a stone not far away, took a bun from the cowhide bag in his bosom and handed it to her.

"Rob leek filling, it doesn't smell good, but it's delicious!" As he spoke, he ate one of his own.

I don't eat leek stuffed summer coriander, but at this moment I have long lost my sense of smell and taste, and I was really hungry after I was aggrieved and desperate just now.

Seeing that the other party was smiling brightly, she frankly took a bun and ate it with him.

After eating the buns, Xia Qian opened the box and showed the radish, who gasped deeply and said that he had never seen such a beautiful thing.

Xia Qian smiled, left the mutton fat white jade piccolo, and asked him to take all the other things.

The turnip hurried back half an hour later and handed her more than twenty brand-new silver tickets.

"Fifty thousand taels, you are so powerful, if you want me to do it, you won't even be able to get back thirty thousand taels of silver!" Xia Qian said in surprise, and stuffed 30,000 taels of silver tickets into the radish, "You take these, treat those children, and get some clothes by the way, if you can, buy some books for them to see!"

The other party looked at her in disbelief, and it wasn't until Xia Qian lied that she couldn't stay here for long, and when Jingya was about to leave here after her injury and went to a relative who had no worries about food and clothing, Radish hesitated to accept the silver ticket.

"Girl, when everyone is in trouble, you want to open something, there's nothing you can't get by. I will borrow this money from you, and I will set up a stall at the west gate of the city every day, and you can find me if you have any business. Say it when you leave, and I'll send you away! ”

When parting, Radish deliberately ran back to buy a dozen buns, and exchanged three hundred taels of silver for her.

She looked at the back of the radish and sighed with emotion in her heart.

At the beginning, twenty-five taels of silver for disaster relief, she was just to hide people's eyes and ears, and sent grain and grass to Huo Zun to southern Xinjiang, who expected that he did not get his sincerity, but she was rewarded by the victims.

Xia Qian's 20,000 taels of silver were divided into ten silver tickets, and each opportunity was one thousand, two thousand, or three thousand, and with the silver tickets, he hurriedly ran to find Du Langzhong.

Du Langzhong looked at the thousand taels of silver tickets in disbelief, and finally wrapped her with the last bone medicine in his store.

She returned to the west courtyard and stuffed the hot buns to Jingya while telling her about the radish.

"Jingya, if I guessed correctly, the children who robbed our two silvers were adopted by Brother Radish!" Xia Qian smiled thoughtfully.

Two days later, Huo Zun and the three women lived back in the North Courtyard.

Jingya couldn't get out of bed before her leg injury healed, Xia Qian washed her every day, cooked, boiled medicine, and did groceries in the yard, exactly like this girl took care of herself in the past, and taught her lip language when she was free.

Because she was busy, she left the four of them behind, and only thought about how to make Jingya recover early and walk on the ground every day.

There were only potatoes and sweet potatoes in the kitchen, and Xia Qian felt that she should buy some more vegetables, so she settled down and went out by herself.

Fearing that she was suffering from the plague, the pedestrians and vendors in the vegetable market all avoided her when they saw her.

Xia Qian looked helpless, and just saw an aunt selling radishes not far away, An Ruo Taishan, sitting in front of her vegetables.

The pile of turnips grew very welcoming, red, white, green, round, flat, and long. All of them were whirring, looking moist and delicious, Xia Qian was happy and bought them all.

I found a driver who delivered vegetables at a high price, and returned to the general's mansion with a cart full of radishes.

The soldiers in the courtyard watched the baskets of radishes move into the west courtyard, and they were dumbfounded.

"The little mute came back with a few bags of sweet potatoes and potatoes a few days ago, and she directly made a cart of radish, this taste is too good, right?" Fan Mang stared at those large and small radishes and said.

Xia Qian ignored their ridicule, and when she looked up, she happened to see four figures strolling idly not far away.

Those few people stared at her radish, the expression on their faces was not much better than Fan Mang's, she ignored their eyes and went straight back to the West Courtyard.

After eating the radish in a different way for a few days, she felt that she had bought too much.

Seeing that Jingya's little face was wrinkled all day, she found a knife to carve radishes into all kinds of gadgets, and taught her lip language while teasing her.

Finally, Jingya could say a simple sentence of four or five words.

She knew that the girl was an idle person, and she was very sorry to see her limp busy every day.

So, when the weather was good, she put down her work, helped Jingya out of the house, let her sit in the yard to bask in the sun, and told her stories.

"Jingya, you're quite lonely when I'm busy, I'm going to send you a few friends!" Xia Qian said, happily out of the general's mansion.

When she came back from the street, she brought eight gooselings that had just come out of their shells, and they were very fluffy and cute.

In addition to that, I also brought some paint, brushes, and paper.

The geese were dyed in different colors and placed in the house, and they laughed very happily when they watched them run and make noise in groups.

Xia Qian told Jingya that she asked the embroidery girl to make a few sets of clothes, all of which were designed by her personally, although the colors were low-key and simple, they were all tailor-made for the two of them, and they were unique.

One day at noon, a girl from the North Courtyard came over and said that the person who made clothes for the house was here and asked Xia Qian to go to the North Courtyard to choose materials.

Xia Qian said that she had clothes to wear, but the maid said that after a while, a distinguished guest visited, and the general ordered to make two sets of spring clothes for everyone, including the maid, and she had to go.
