Not long after, Aunt Lu, Calamus's mother, came in with a suitcase and said with a smile: "Girl, the thing is ready." ”

She opened the suitcase, revealing a bowl of sugar water. Take away the sugar water, and the second layer is the burning fairy grass.

Xia Jin took the spoon, scooped a spoonful of the congealed and lumpy roasted fairy grass into his mouth, pursed his mouth and tasted it, and nodded: "That's right." ”

Aunt Lu looked at this black thing and asked suspiciously, "Can this thing be delicious?" ”

Before Xia Jin could speak, Calamus preemptively said: "Mother, this is medicine, something that cures diseases and saves people, where can I say that it is delicious or not?" ”

Aunt Lu laughed: "No, I'm confused." ”

Xia Jin put down the spoon and asked, "How much of this Uncle Lu brought back?" ”

At the girl's orders, he hired a carriage and pulled a cart full of them. Now it is unloaded in a rented courtyard in the north of the city. Aunt Lu said.

Before Lu Liang left Linjiang City, Xia Jin gave him some money and told him that if he came back from buying fairy grass, he would rent a small courtyard in the north or west of the city and unload his things there. Now Lu Liang is doing what she tells and doing things properly.

Xia Jin was satisfied again.

It seems that if Lu Liang exercises a few more times, his ability should be no worse than that of a housekeeper.

"Very good." Xia Jin took out a piece of broken silver from his arms and handed it to Aunt Lu, "Uncle Lu has worked hard, this is the hard-earned money for him." ”

"This, this ......" Aunt Lu saw that there were as many as one or two pieces of silver ingots, and she didn't dare to reach out to pick it up.

"Take it. In the future, if there is such a thing, I will ask you to do it. Xia Jin directly stuffed the silver into her hand.

Aunt Lu saluted gratefully: "Thank you girl for the generous reward." ”

After Aunt Lu went out, Calamus came forward to thank Xia Jin: "Thank you girl for rewarding my father." ”

Xia Jin didn't take the topic. Instead, he asked, "Calamus, do you know why I asked your uncle about it?" ”

Calamus nodded: "The girl can guess some." ”

"You say."

Calamus raised her sparkling eyes, looked at Xia Jin, and asked tentatively, "Is the girl worried about the house over there, and wants to hear the news from the house over there from time to time?" ”

The corners of Xia Jin's mouth hooked, revealing an approving smile.

Calamus smiled in response. She thought for a moment. Said: "My uncle, everything else is fine." just like to drink and play money; My aunt wanted to save money for my cousin's daughter-in-law. The two quarreled over money all day long. My cousin likes the happy girl in the big lady's yard, and my cousin always envies others for having beautiful clothes. It's not hard to get some information from them. ”

Xia Jin became more and more satisfied with the calamus. This girl knows what she is thinking.

"Good." She nodded. He took out a piece of silver and handed it to Calamus, "Your grandmother is old, and you should go back to see her old man often." Use this money to buy gifts. ”

Seeing that Xia Jin gave one or two pieces of silver, Calamus waved his hand and said, "Girl, one hundred and ten cents is about the same." I gave too much at the beginning, and I was afraid that I would take Qiao up in the future, thinking that I was a strange thing. ”

Xia Jin laughed with a "flutter": "Our calamus is also a learned person." I know a lot of words. ”

This made Calamus's face turn red at once.

"Take it first, and I'll reward you more." Xia Jin said with a smile. Seeing that the iris hesitated, she said with a straight face: "Calamus, you remember." Your girl is a capable person, and she will only make a lot more money in the future. If you do my service faithfully, I will not do you any wrong. ”

Calamus took the silver and respectfully saluted Xia Jin: "Thank you, girl." ”

Xia Jin stood up: "You go and ask the mother-in-law guarding the door to hire a carriage, and I will go out with the young master in a while to bring that Dong Fang back." You go with you, too. ”

"Yes." Calamus answered. Hurry up and get out and make arrangements.

Xia Jin went to Xia Qi's courtyard. Seeing that Xia Qi was reading the book seriously, she said, "Brother." I looked for a little girl who looked like a boy. I want to bring her back to the house, and she will follow me in the future. Tiandong is a man after all, so it's inconvenient to follow me. ”

This matter has always been extremely worrying about Xia Qi. Tiandong is his little servant, he knows best what kind of character and ability, he is completely loyal, and he is not clever - with his former status in Xia Mansion, a good little guy naturally can't be picked by him.

Now that he heard that Xia Jin had found a suitable person by himself, he was naturally very happy and said, "Then bring her back quickly." ”

"Her brother is sick, I cured him......" Xia Jin told Dong Yan about it, except that Dong Yan had sold himself to her, "I look like a man in front of them, and her brother naturally doesn't feel at ease to hand her over to me." Now let's go together, just say let Dong Fang be my girl, I think he won't refuse. ”

"Okay, let's go." Xia Qi put down the book and followed Xia Jin out of the door.

Shu Shi knew that the brother and sister were going to Dong Fang, so naturally they had no opinion. The two took the iris and took a carriage to the south of the city.

Xia Qi was greatly taken aback when he saw where the Dong family brothers and sisters lived, and became more and more sympathetic to Dong Yan's experience. He pulled Xia Jin aside and whispered, "Sister, this Dong Yan seems to be good, let's just take him back too." ”

Xia Jin brought Xia Qi here, in addition to letting Dong Yan rest assured that Dong Fang would be handed over to her, he also had the intention of testing and teaching Xia Qi.

At this time, seeing that he did not overflow with love, he promised to take him back in front of Dong Yan, but knew that she discussed it with her in private, and she became more and more satisfied with this brother.

She said in a low voice: "Brother, have you forgotten that your mother said about selling people yesterday?" There are already a lot of people we brought here, and it's a big expense to chew every day. Our house is rented now, the hospital has not yet opened, and there is no income from a penny, you bring someone back, my mother doesn't say it, I don't know how to be embarrassed. ”

As soon as he said this, Xia Qi suddenly felt ashamed: "It's me who didn't think it through." ”

Xia Jin patted his arm: "Helping others should also be within your own ability." Bad intentions are unacceptable, and they are harmful. ”

Xia Qi nodded heavily.

"Mr. Xia, Miss Xia, drink water." Dong Yan came in with two bowls of boiling water and put them in front of Xia Jin and Xia Qi. He looked at the calamus and said apologetically: "I'm sorry, there are only two bowls at home." ”

"It's okay, it's okay." The iris waved her hand again and again.

She's a clever one. Seeing Dong Fang's red eyes just now, she hid under the pretext of boiling water, and Dong Yan followed out without worry, so she stayed in this dilapidated hut and did not move. At this time, Dong Yan came in, and Dong Fang remained outside, so she bent down and went out to talk to Dong Fang.

Xia Qi listened to Dong Yan's words, and then saw that the two bowls in front of him had broken a few gaps, obviously the bowls that others didn't want to throw away, but they were washed cleanly, and it seemed that they had been scalded with boiling water, and his heart became more and more sad.

Dong Yan's experience always reminded him of himself. He and Xia Jin are also brother and sister. If something happened to Xia Zhengqian and Shu's family, would he take his sister to this point?

But thinking about his sister's ability, he felt a little at ease, and he wanted to be admitted to Xiucai more and more, so that he could become strong and give his sister and parents a support.

He wanted to ask Dong Fang what his plans were in the future, but he was afraid that if he said too much, he would lose it, so that the Dong brothers and sisters could see that he was not the original "Xia Qi", so he had to shut up, picked up the broken bowl, took a sip of water, and then stood up and said, "If there is something at home, I won't sit." Miss Dong doesn't know if it's cleaned up? ”

The house is surrounded by four walls, and even the bowls for eating are picked up, where does Dong Fang have anything to pack? Although Dong Yan was reluctant to part with his sister, he also knew that it was much more convenient for Dong Fang to follow Xia Jin than to follow him.

He turned his head and shouted outside, "Fang'er, Gongzi Xia is going back." ”

Dong Fang answered and walked in hand in with Calamus. Although his eyes were red and he had obviously cried, his mood seemed to be much better.

Calamus smiled at Dong Yan and said: "Don't worry, Dong Gongzi, you have also seen that my girl is a very kind person, and she has never said anything serious about our subordinates." Moreover, the young master of my family confessed that Miss Fang did not sign the deed of sale, she was just a guest in the Xia family, and no one in the family would give Miss Fang any favors. ”

When Dong Yan saw Xia Jin, he was naturally relieved. He was reluctant to let his sister be a concubine, and naturally he was unwilling to let Dong Fang follow "Xia Qi" and bear the title of "a young master's maid". Now that he is following the girl of the Xia family, he has no worries.

"When you get to Miss Xia, you have to work diligently, listen to Miss Xia's words, don't be naughty. Brother will go to see you when he is free. He told Dong Fangdao.

As soon as he said this, Dong Fang's eyes turned red again, and he pulled Dong Yan's sleeve, reluctant to let go.

She is also a rich lady, and her family has fallen to this point after suffering a catastrophe, but she is also with her relatives. Now she wants to be separated from her brother and go to the fence, although life will be better than now, at least she has food and clothing, but she is really uncomfortable in her heart.

Xia Jin couldn't see this kind of crying and sticky appearance the most. She frowned slightly, and said to Dong Yan: "If Sister Ling is really reluctant, then let her stay at home for a few more days." When she is willing to go to my house, you can send it again. ”

"No, no, no." Dong Yan hurriedly said.

He is the one who signed the deed of sale, and the money used to eat in the past few days is also from "Xia Gongzi", but he is not worried about Dong Fang, so he has been delaying and not helping "Xia Gongzi". Now "Xia Gongzi" has taken great pains to help him arrange his sister to "Xia Girl", and he still cares about food and clothing, if he doesn't do things again, it will be too unconscionable.

Dong Fang also knows this truth. And she is full of gratitude to "Xia Gongzi" for curing her brother's illness and giving her such a good place to go. Although he was still reluctant, he quickly wiped away his tears, walked quickly to Xia Jin's side, and said, "Miss Xia, I'm sorry, I've never been separated from my brother, so I lost my temper like this, and I won't be in the future." She looked up and smiled at Xia Jin, "If there is anything to do with the girl in the future, just tell me." I'm in the girl's house, I can't eat and live for nothing, I have to do my best.
