Su Muxian didn't agree immediately, but turned his head to look at Xia Jin.

Xia Jin smiled: "Although I am her master, this is a major event in her family, and if she wants to go, I naturally have no reason to stop her." ”

Seeing the perseverance in Dong Fang's eyes, Su Muxian nodded: "Okay, then I'll come and pick you up tomorrow when I'm free." ”

The bright light that burst out in Dong Fang's eyes instantly made Xia Jin unbearable to look at it directly. So when Su Muxian turned her head and asked her if she wanted to go together tomorrow, she shook her head: "Mrs. Luo is still sick, and I can't leave Langzhong, so I won't go." ”

Su Muxian was obviously silent for a moment, and asked, "Is Mrs. Luo sick?" I've been busy lately and don't even know about it. ”

"Well, she traveled a long distance and was worried about Luo Gongzi, so she couldn't support it, and she had a high fever for two nights, and the situation was more dangerous." Xia Jin said.

Cen Ziman interjected next to him: "Ah Jin, you haven't closed your eyes for two nights, and you've been guarding over there, it's really too hard." Look, the dark circles are coming out. Why don't you ask a Lang Zhong to do it for you tonight? ”

These words seem to be distressing Xia Jin, but they are actually a reminder to Su Muxian that Luo Qian, a rival in love, is strong. Even if he is not by Xia Jin's side, the power of Mrs. Luo, a prospective mother-in-law, should not be underestimated. In order to help her cousin, she planted a lot of eyeliner next to Mrs. Luo. Mrs. Luo's act of sending a family heirloom jade bracelet to Xia Jin reached her ears in a blink of an eye. She was worried that Xia Jin would be soft-hearted.

You must know that the biggest obstacle to Luo Qian's relationship with Xia Jin is Mrs. Luo. Now that Mrs. Luo has changed her ways, turning obstruction into courtship, in Cen Ziman's eyes, she feels that her cousin's hope is getting slimmer and slimmer. She knew that the matter handed over by the emperor to her cousin was very important, and it was so important that it was related to the lifeblood and direction of the court, but if Xia Jin didn't hurry up here. It's likely to end up in someone else's house. In the past two days, she has been very anxious for Su Muxian.

Sure enough, as soon as Su Muxian heard this, the nerves in his whole body tensed, and his eyes were staring at Xia Jin tightly, as if he wanted to see what she was thinking from her eyes.

Xia Jin is thoughtful, Cen Ziman is so careful, how can she not understand the truth? But she acted. Once you have made up your mind. It will not be subject to the will of others.

She smiled and looked indifferent: "Mrs. Luo's condition has basically stabilized, if she doesn't have a high fever tonight, she will be fine." When the time comes, arrange for someone to guard it. I don't have to get up if I only have a low-grade fever, and I don't have to trouble others. ”

Cen Ziman glanced at Su Muxian meaningfully.

Su Muxian pursed his lips and was silent for a while, and said in a low voice: "If it's okay, I'll go back to work first." ”

Cen Ziman saw that Xia Jin didn't speak, so he had to answer: "Okay." "Get up and send it off.

Xia Jin also stood up. Just delivered to the door, and stopped. So that the two cousins can talk privately.

Cen Ziman originally had something to say to Su Muxian, but he didn't know where to start. Su Muxian is her cousin, but Xia Jin is her friend and her future sister-in-law. Although she hopes that Xia Jin can marry Su Muxian. But he couldn't ignore Xia Jin's feelings.

When he reached the steps, Su Muxian stopped and glanced back at the door of the house. I didn't see Xia Jin. He turned around in disappointment and said to Cen Ziman, "Okay." I'm not an outsider, so I don't need to send it. With a wave of his hand, "I'm leaving." He strode down the stairs and headed outside.

Cen Ziman returned to the house and wanted to ask Xia Jin what he thought several times, but when the words came to his mouth, he still swallowed. She knows Xia Jin's character, not the kind of slimy person. Her attitude is unclear now, just because neither Su Muxian nor Luo Qian have been able to completely capture her heart and make her determined to entrust her for life.

That night, Mrs. Luo really did not have a high fever again, but only a slight low-grade fever, and her body temperature returned to normal in the second half of the night. Mother Song guarded her and did not alarm Xia Jin, and Xia Jin was able to sleep well.

The next morning, seeing that Mrs. Luo was recovering very well, she prescribed a dose of conditioning medicine and went back to the courtyard where she lived.

"The girl is back?" A maid hurried over and raised the curtain for her.

This maid's name is Qingying, and she was originally the big maid in Cen Ziman's house. Cen Ziman saw that Xia Jin only brought Dong Fang alone, and Dong Fang was not the kind of well-trained maid who could serve his master comfortably, so he pulled out Qingying and the other two second-class maids to Xia Jin.

Xia Jin looked around the room and asked, "What about Cistanche, haven't you gotten up yet?" ”

Because Dong Fang was going to the yamen today, she didn't ask her to serve in the guest house last night, but brought a maid from the Cen family. It's not too early at this time, Dong Fang should have gotten up early, but it's not time to go to the yamen yet. She should have the hot water ready and wait for her master to come back.

Qingying hesitated for a moment: "Miss Cistanche got up and washed and combed, and instructed the slave maid to prepare hot water for the girl, and then went back to the room." ”

Xia Jin frowned and sat down in his chair.

Although Dong Fang ordered to prepare hot water, Qingying still asked: "Does the girl bathe first or eat breakfast first?" ”

"Take a shower first." Although Xia Jin lived in Cen Mansion, he still maintained a good habit of finding a secluded place to practice before dawn. So take a shower every morning.

After a meal, Xia Jin came out of the bathroom refreshed with wet hair, sat down at the breakfast table in the courtyard, and saw Dong Fang wearing a light purple embroidered oak flower dress, combing a lily bun, and smearing rouge water and rice on his face, and walked out of the house dressed up very exquisitely.

Just as Cen Ziman came out for breakfast after washing and combing, he saw Dong Fang's appearance, and his eyes were still looking at the gate of the courtyard, obviously dressed up carefully and waiting for Su Mu to come back. She sneered and said, "Master Wu'an is busy, at least he can't come over until the beginning of his life." ”

Dong Fang was startled, and hurriedly walked behind Xia Jin to stand still, lowered his head and bit his lip, not daring to look around.

"Hurry up, breakfast is cold." Xia Jin put a bun in front of Cen Ziman, picked up the porridge and took a sip.

The two had breakfast, and when Dong Fang followed the other maids to pack up the dishes and go out, Cen Ziman complained: "That maid looks restless, why do you want to keep her by your side?" I find that your temperament is getting better and better, and you have to fight with the Bodhisattva Niangniang. ”

"If you dare to speak ill of the Bodhisattva, aren't you afraid of going out and falling later?" Xia Jin glanced at her, "I didn't keep her by her side for her loyalty and ability, but for her brother Dong Yan." Besides, Dong Fang is not a bad person, but he has a bigger heart. I'll give her back a year to be free, so I'll make do with it now. ”

Cen Ziman was speechless.

After taking a few sips of tea, she asked first, "Is Mrs. Luo's illness okay?" ”

"Well, it's okay."

"Then do you want to go to the Yamen? I haven't seen anyone else adjudicate a case, so why don't we go and see the excitement together? ”

Xia Jin glanced at her, and the corners of his mouth hooked slightly: "My house has been repaired, I originally planned to go out with my brother to choose furniture." It's up to you whether you want to go to the trial or join us in choosing furniture. ”

Cen Ziman blushed suddenly, stretched out his fist and punched Xia Jin, and said angrily: "You just laugh at me." I'll see if I laugh at you in the future. ”

Seeing Cen Ziman's embarrassment, Xia Jin laughed unscrupulously.

After breakfast, let Qingying comb her hair, Xia Jin stood up: "Let's go, look at the furniture." ”

Cen Ziman still wanted to try to get Su Muxian and Xia Jin to meet, and said, "It's too early now, right?" The shop hasn't opened yet, so it's better to go back later. ”

Xia Jin ignored her and walked directly towards the courtyard door.

Cen Ziman had to follow.

When Su Mu came idle, he only saw Dong Fang waiting at the door, but the person he wanted to see was nowhere to be seen.

Knowing from Qingying's mouth that Xia Jin was not in Mrs. Luo's courtyard, but went to see the furniture with Cen Ziman and Xia Qi, he didn't know whether to be happy or unhappy, and urged Dong Fangdao: "Hurry up, I have something to do in a while." ”

After Dong Fang got into the carriage, he galloped and went to the capital government. When he arrived at the Yamen, he took a look at Fu Yin, said some kind words, and then handed over Xu Yuanjing to the Yamen, and he was ready to leave.

"Master Hou, where are you going?" Seeing this, Dong Fang asked anxiously.

"I have an errand to do, so I shouldn't stay longer. I have entrusted your affairs to Lord Fu Yin. The case is not complicated, and it will be over in a while. With Steward Zhang and Mama Li taking care of them here, there will be no problem. When the case is over, you will go back with him, and don't run around. Su Muxian patiently confessed a few words, and then rode away.

The look of loss on Dong Fang's face was extremely obvious.

She came to fight a lawsuit, and Cen Fu would naturally send someone to accompany her. Mama Li thought that she was worried that Su Mu was idle and that there would be a situation during the trial, so she comforted her a few words.

Su Muxian left the yamen and went directly to the street where furniture was sold, and then asked his subordinates to look for Cen Ziman and others one by one.

"Cousin, why are you here?" Seeing Su Muxian, the happiest was Cen Ziman.

Xia Jin also looked back in surprise.

Su Muxian glanced at Xia Jin deeply, took out a few silver tickets from his arms, and handed them over: "I borrowed Miss Xia's silver, and today I am here to repay the silver." In this place where people come and go, he doesn't want to call Xia Jin "Ah Jin".

Seeing the silver ticket in Su Muxian's wide palm, Xia Jin frowned and thought for a while, only to remember that Su Muxian was chased and killed for the second time, she saved him, and taught him some hiding and tracking skills, because he was penniless, she gave him two hundred taels of silver.

"Not so much, I only borrowed you two hundred taels at that time." She pulled two out of his hand, and was very happy.

Because she was in too much of a hurry when she came to the capital, she didn't prepare, and she only brought three hundred taels of silver with her. When I didn't need the money, I felt that I had a lot of money, but when I came to see the furniture, I felt that the three hundred taels of silver were not enough.

Furniture is not clothing, and you can throw away or give it away when you use it. This thing has been used for more than ten or even decades. Now that Xia Jin is rich, of course he has to buy something good for his family. But the house given by the Queen Mother is too big, and the cost of putting all kinds of halls and rooms on furniture is not ordinary. Three hundred taels of silver, not even a deposit. Xia Jin didn't want Cen Ziman to know that she was short of money, otherwise the Cen family might send the entire furniture to the Xia family.

Su Mu sent these two hundred taels of silver, which was just right. (To be continued)
