"Nonsense! Where is the sweat when the patient burns like this? You need to recuperate before sweating. Xia Jin said, looking left and right, "Do you have a pen and paper?" ”

"Yes!" Dong Fang was overjoyed when he heard this, he didn't care about wiping away his tears, ran quickly to a corner, carefully took out a piece of paper from a broken box, took a pen and ink inkstone, laid it on a wooden board next to it, and took water to grind the ink, "Xia Gongzi here, please." ”

Xia Jin went over, looked at the piece of paper, directly divided it into three parts, wrote three prescriptions with a pen, and told Dong Fang: "This is three doses of medicine, take the first dose first, then the second dose, and finally take this dose." When you take the third dose, you will sweat, and if you sweat, you will be fine. ”

Dong Fang took the prescription, read it carefully, and nodded heavily: "I know." ”

Xia Jin looked at her deeply, took out dozens of dollars from his arms, and handed it over: "Hurry up and grab the medicine." ”

Dong Fang waved his hand again and again: "No need, son, the money given by that son that day has not been used up yet." It's enough to grab this medicine. ”

Xia Jin nodded secretly.

She looked out the door, it was already dark at this time, and she hurriedly said goodbye: "It's not early, I should go, there is something to do at home." I'll come back when I'm free. ”

"Thank you Mr. Xia for saving your life." Dong Fang knelt on the ground and kowtowed to Xia Jin.

"Hey, what are you doing here? Hurry up! Xia Jin reached out to pull her. This action frightened Dong Fang, she withdrew her hand vigorously, lowered her eyelids, and her face turned red.

"Ugh." Xia Jin couldn't help but laugh, didn't explain, and arched his hand, "I'm leaving." Without waiting for Dong Fang to say anything more, he turned around and left quickly.

If you don't leave, it's too late. She has to watch a good show when she goes home.

Sure enough, two quarters of an hour later, when Xia Jin came home and changed his clothes, and as soon as he sat down and took a sip of tea, he heard the iris panting and reporting: "Girl, the old lady called the young master over." ”

"What about the lord and the wife?" She asked, raising her eyes.

Calamus shook her head: "The mother-in-law in the old lady's courtyard went directly to the young master and took him away, and the old lady didn't know." ”

"Tell Mint to go, and say that I saw the young master being taken away."

"Yes." Calamus turned and went out. After a while, it turned in again, and it was clear that the matter was done.

Estimating that the time was almost up, Xia Jin put down the embroidery shed, stood up and said, "Let's go, let's go too." ”

As soon as he entered the courtyard of the upper room, Xia Jin heard the old lady's sharp scolding.

She sighed, entered the room, and saw Xia Zhengqian standing in front of the old lady with his head down, standing solemnly with his hands down; And Xia Chan stood aside, twisting his waist and rubbing his stomach, and his mouth kept "ouch ouch" **; The second wife looked full of pity beside him, and wiped her tears with a handkerchief from time to time.

Because dinner had already been over, everyone else went back to the courtyard. In addition to the above four people in the house, there are Xia Zhengshen, Xia Zhenghao and the eldest wife, Shu Shi and some subordinates.

“…… You're such a good son! A few days ago, just a prostitute was beaten for drinking, and before he could go on the road, he turned his head and beat Brother Chan again. It's lawless, lawless! ”

Xia Jin stood at the door, and saw the old lady's mouth open and closed, spitting flying, and her hands with long nails were about to hit Xia Zhengqian's nose.

finally waited until the old lady was tired of scolding and took a breath, Xia Zhengqian hurriedly interjected and retorted: "Mother, I'm afraid this matter is a rumor." It's not that you don't know that Brother Qi has always been weak in life, and if he had any disputes with Brother Qi and Brother Chan before, he only had to be beaten. Besides, Brother Chan still has people around him, even if Brother Qi has the heart to resist, how can he beat the two little guys around Brother Chan? What's more, it's still like this? ”

The second wife wiped her tears and cried out: "Third uncle, what you said is wrong. Although my Zen brother is usually naughty, he never wrongs people, one is one, and two is two. In the past, he was also beaten and came back with a blue nose and swollen face, and he never said who beat him in the family. Since he said that it was Brother Qi today, it must be Brother Qi! ”

As soon as he said this, Xia Zhengqian also became suspicious. Although he is very busy, Xia Chan and Xia Qi are close in age to Xia Qi, and they have often had some conflicts since they were children, so he still knows the temperament of the two children. Although Xia Chan is naughty, he has some habits in the rivers and lakes: he is straightforward, used to solving problems by force, and rarely lies and tricks - but Xia Qi is the best at tricks.

"Then wait for Brother Qi to come and ask him. If he had done it, I would have taught him a lesson myself. If he hadn't done it...... he glanced at Xia Zhengshen and Xia Zhenghao, "No one should think about wronging my son." ”

"Brother Chan has said so, is there any falsehood? There is no need to ask about this, it must have been fought by Brother Qi. Ask him and he won't admit it! The old lady gasped and began to roar again, "At a young age, men and women are stealing and prostitutes, fighting and fighting, and even my brother dares to fight, which is really against the sky." Someone, catch Brother Qi for me, beat him with thirty boards, and then send them to Zhuangzi. ”

"Mother!" Xia Zhengqian and Shu Shi exclaimed at the same time.

Xia Jin looked at the old lady's deformed face, remembered the discussion he heard by the pond, and felt more and more that Xia Zhengqian's origin had another hidden meaning. Otherwise, a person who is a grandmother and mother, no matter how eccentric, it is impossible to be eccentric like this, without asking, he thinks that it is Xia Chan who is beaten by Xia Qi, and directly ignores the possibility of beating or not.

"Old lady, Brother You and Brother Qi are here." The maid came in to report.

The old lady had a gloomy face: "Call them in." ”

Xia You and Xia Qi walked in one after the other and saluted the elders present.

"Evil beast, kneel for me." The old lady pointed at Xia Qi and shouted.

Hearing this shouting and scolding, Xia Zhengqian's face turned pale, and Shu Shi pulled his handkerchief tightly, biting his lower lip with his teeth.

Xia Qi was stunned for a moment, turned his head and glanced at the room, and finally his eyes fell on Xia Jin. But then he took it back and looked at the old lady with a calm and detached expression: "I don't know what crime my grandson has committed?" ”

The old lady was about to speak, but Xia Chan hurriedly said: "You beat me like this, and pretend to be nothing, I can finally see you clearly today." ”

Xia Qi was stunned again, and said suspiciously: "I'll beat you?" He glanced Xia Chan up and down and touched his head, "How is it possible?" ”

Xia Chan was furious, and was about to speak, when the old lady shouted: "I still want to quibble!" Come on, pull him out and beat him for me. ”

Immediately, a mother-in-law stepped forward and wanted to pull Xia Qi out.

"Mother, even if it is a case tried by the yamen, you have to ask for clarification. If you hit people indiscriminately like this, you are not afraid of chilling our hearts! Xia Zhengqian protected in front of Xia Qi, his eyes were awe-inspiring, and his face was pale.

Usually at this time, Xia Zhenghao and his second wife, who were in the second room, came forward to talk to the mud. But it was their son who was beaten today. The second wife couldn't wait for Xia Qi to be beaten, but Xia Zhenghao was silent.

Xia Zhengshen was really afraid that Xia Zhengqian would be cold, and Renhetang would have to rely on him for support. Seeing that Xia Zhenghao and his wife didn't speak, he hurriedly stepped forward and persuaded: "Mother, just listen to what Brother Qi has to say." Anyway, when something happens, there will always be people who see it, and it's not just whoever says it. ”

The old lady was also afraid of being in a hurry, so Xia Zhengqian brushed his sleeves away, and snorted coldly: "Okay, then listen to what he said." I don't believe that black can be said to be white! ”

This determines that Xia Chan was beaten by Xia Qi? Hearing this, Xia Zhengqian was very angry.

Everyone set their eyes on Xia Qi.

Xia Qi looked at Xia Chan and asked, "Let me ask you, when were you beaten?" Who saw that I struck you? ”
