Dong Fang's attitude made Xia Jin's face soothe slightly.

She nodded and said softly, "My brother still has something to do, if you clean up here, then let's go." ”

"Yes." Dong Fang didn't rush back to hug his brother and cry, only glanced back at him, and followed Xia Jin out of the door.

Xia Qi walked at the end, took out a piece of broken silver and handed it to Dong Yan, and explained what Xia Jin asked him to say: "Give you three days, you go and check the news of the person who came to your shop to buy cloth." If your father is wronged, then the man who buys the cloth is very suspicious. At the same time, think about who would have tried to kill your father. ”

Dong Yan was stunned, and then his heart was shocked, he took the silver, knelt on the ground and kowtowed to Xia Qi three times: "Thank you, son." If you can find out the truth and take revenge on your father, Dong Yan's life will be Gongzi's. ”

Dong Fang, who followed Xia Jin outside, heard this, and also turned around, ran to Dong Yan's side and knelt down.

was grateful to his peers who were a few years older than him, Xia Qi was passionate for a while, and his temperament was a lot more noble.

He stretched out his hand and said lightly, "Get up." Here in the city, I'll send someone to check it out for you. ”

"Thank you, Childe." Dong Yan kowtowed again and pulled his sister to stand up.

Xia Qi didn't say much, and bent down out of the low door.

After getting into the carriage, Xia Qi was silent for a long time, and then said to Xia Jin in a low voice: "Sister, if there is anything in the future, you will ask me to do it together." ”

Xia Jin smiled at him and nodded.

She knows. Her twin brother has finally grown up slowly.

The carriage stopped in front of the summer house in the east of the city. Xia Qi got out of the carriage first, turned around and was about to reach out to help Xia Jin. I saw the mother-in-law guarding the door running over with excitement on her face, and said to him: "Young master, girl, Xuanping Houfu has sent a post and invited you to the banquet." ”

"Huh?" Xia Qi was stunned for a moment, and turned his head to glance at Xia Jin.

The expression on Xia Jin's face did not change at all, and he helped Xia Qi's men get out of the carriage and said lightly: "Let's talk about it when we go in." ”

"Oh." Xia Qi saw his sister's calm appearance when Mount Tai collapsed in front of him and did not change. Thinking about his performance just now, his face suddenly turned red. With a shocked expression, he strode towards the house with his head held high with a blank face.

Xia Jin followed behind him with a faint smile.

And Dong Fang, who then got off the carriage, was full of shock.

Her family used to open a silk forging shop, and people came and went. The message is also extremely well-informed. Xuanping Houfu, she naturally knows. Xuanping waited for the old general, that is a brave warrior, from an ordinary soldier to a general, and the legend of the last waiting, is the pride of the people of Linjiang City. In Linjiang City and even in the entire Zhejiang Province, there is no one who does not want to climb up to the old general Xuanping, so as to enter the emperor's eyes. But I didn't want to, this little Xia family could actually receive a post from Xuanping Houfu. I can attend their banquet.

She stood in front of the vermilion gate of the summer mansion and couldn't help but re-examine the family.

Xia Jin entered the courtyard and separated from Xia Qi. took Dong Fang to see Shu's family, and then instructed Calamus to lead her to settle down, and said to Dong Fang: "If there is anything, just come to me; If you lack anything to eat and wear, you can ask your sister calamus for it. ”

"Yes." Dong Fang bowed and followed the calamus down.

Shu Shi saw it. Puzzled, he asked Xia Jin: "Why don't you sign the deed of sale?" If you don't sign a deed of sale, you can't use it with confidence, don't invite a disaster back. ”

"Mother. Rest assured, I know what to expect. Xia Jin said with a smile.

Shu Shi looked at her lovingly, and then stopped asking about it. During this time, she has experienced big and small things, and she also knows that her daughter can do a lot and does not need to worry too much about her.

She was more concerned about something: "Let's go out in a moment and make two sets of clothes." Although we are small households, we can't be underestimated when we go to Xuanping Houfu. ”

"Hmm." Xia Jin nodded.

The way of this world is to only look at clothes and not people, and it is necessary to go to the banquet with a whole body.

But she thought about it for a while, remembered the words of the gatekeeper, and felt wrong: "Mother, where is the invitation?" Show it to me. ”

Shu Shi took out the invitation card and handed it to Xia Jin.

Xia Jin saw it, and his brows suddenly wrinkled: "Strange, why did you invite our brother and sister?" ”

Shu Shi's mind hadn't turned around yet, and he said happily: "This old lady Xuanping is really authentic in what she does." I wanted to find out that you still have a brother, so I invited you to go with me. You must know that those who can go to Xuanping Houfu for a banquet are all people with heads and faces in the city. Your brother can go to see the world and get to know a few more people, and it will also be beneficial to participate in the imperial examination in the future. What kind of poetry meeting did your second uncle go to, isn't it the same......"

At this point, she probably thought of something, and her face suddenly froze with joy and excitement.

"Right? Mother, you also thought of it, right? When I treated Mrs. Wang Hanlin, I pretended to be my brother. At this time, we will invite both of us to the banquet at the same time, am I wearing men's clothes or women's clothes? If I wear men's clothes, what if someone asks my brother to see a doctor on the spot? ”

Shu's face suddenly fell: "Then what should I do?" It's a pity that your brother can't go to such an opportunity. ”

Xia Jin also frowned.

may be the reason why the twins are connected by blood, her feelings for Xia Qi, her brother, are much deeper than those for Xia Zhengqian and Shu. And Xia Qi can be said to have grown up slowly under her cultivation during this time. She really hopes that Xia Qi can get better and better and have a great future.

So in this banquet, she also hopes that Xia Qi can participate.

"Then I wore women's clothes when I went to the banquet." She said, "When the time comes, let my brother be smarter, and when someone asks him to see a doctor, find an excuse to push it off." ”

Shu Shi couldn't make up his mind at this time, so he got up and said, "I'll call your father and your brother to come over and discuss together." ”

When Xia Zhengqian and Xia Qi came in, Shu Shi told them about the matter, and Xia Zhengqian also hesitated. Although he does not favor sons over daughters, his son is the one who inherits the family business and establishes a family, and of course he hopes that his son can go to the banquet, see the world, and know some people who can help him.

"Brother Qi, if someone asks you to treat your illness at that time, can you handle it?" He asked.

Xia Qi groaned and didn't speak immediately.

"Brother, don't be afraid. Even if you don't go this time, you'll have to encounter this situation in the future. You can't stay at home forever and not go out to meet people, can you? Since avoidance can't solve the problem, it's better to stand in front of people generously. Xia Jin encouraged.

"Hmm." Xia Qi nodded vigorously and said to Xia Zhengqian and Shu, "Father, don't worry, I will take care of it." ”

"Okay." Xia Zhengqian was very pleased. During this time, his son was locked up at home every day to read, but his daughter was jumping around and making eye-popping achievements, and he was not without worries. I am afraid that my son will be raised as a daughter, but my daughter will be raised as a son.

Now that his son can bravely face the challenge, he is naturally very pleased.

decided that both of them would go to the banquet, and then Shu took the two brothers and sisters to the largest silk shop in the east of the city, made two sets of clothes, and went to the silver building to buy some jewelry for Xia Jin. Fortunately, thanks to the dozens of taels of medical fees that Mrs. Xuanping gave Xia Jin, it would not be too difficult to make a few clothes, otherwise she really didn't know what to do.

The banquet in Xuanping Houfu was held three days later, and Xinglin Hall reopened the next day.

Xia Jin still pretended to be Xia Qi and went to help for a day. However, she didn't take action to see people, but just helped catch the medicine for a while, to see that there were not many patients, Xia Zhengqian and Xing Qingsheng were too busy, so they went back to the backyard, greeted Lu Liang, and went to the small courtyard he rented in the west of the city.

Seeing the half-human-tall fairy grass piled up in the house, Xia Jin sent Lu Liang back, found a tooth woman by himself, and bought two people.

"You boil these herbs into juice, freeze them into lumps, and put them in buckets. In the future, people will come here every day to transport them away. She said.

The two men, both lonely and helpless women in their forties and fifties, listened to her words and answered again and again.

After instructing them to do it every day, Xia Jin went to the small courtyard in the south of the city, and instructed the subordinates to prepare beans and sugar cubes, and then went home.

Xia Jin was busy all around alone, while Dong Fang was sitting in the courtyard in a daze bored at this time.

In the past few days, she has lived in Xia's house, and she is also comfortable. No one looked at her face, she didn't have to worry about food and clothing, and no one even asked someone to work. After eating all day, I sat in the yard and watched the scenery.

Although such a day is very good, Dong Fang always feels unsteady. Before coming, her brother told her to work diligently when she arrived at the Xia family, and stop treating herself as a young lady and waiting for others to serve her.

She saw Mint coming back from outside with her clothes, and hurriedly greeted her, and said with a smile: "Sister Mint, are you back from laundry?" I'll dry it for you. ”

"No need." Mint Road.

Although she is stupid and timid, she has become the big girl next to Xia Jin, and under the influence of Xia Jin, she was taken by the calamus, which added a lot of self-confidence, and her mouth became neat.

She lifted the barrel to the other side and smiled, "You are a guest, why bother you to do something?" was known by the young master and the girl, and they had to scold me to death. Miss Dong, you can rest, I'll just dry it myself. ”

As she spoke, she ignored Dong Fang and quickly hung her clothes one by one on the bamboo pole. Dong Fang stepped forward to help, but she also stopped him back, and said: "This is the girl's clothes, and they are particular about washing and drying." Crumpled or broken, my wife has to punish me. Miss Dong won't watch me being punished, right? ”

Dong Fang's family is in the silk business, and the material of Xia Jin's dress, no matter how she looks at it, it is ordinary satin, just wash it and spread it out to dry, where is there anything important?

It's just that when Mint's words are on this, she naturally doesn't want to interfere anymore, so she has to sit back on the stool boredly and watch Mint busy.

Mint finished drying Xia Jin's clothes, and then dried Dong Fang's clothes one by one, and prepared to leave with the wooden barrel.

Seeing that she was left alone, Dong Fang couldn't help it and shouted, "Sister Mint, do you have a needle and thread to do?" I used to help my mother make needlework at home, and my skills were good. If you want to do needlework, I'll do it for you. (To be continued)
