Zhenjing stared at her up and down like she knew He Angelica for the first time, and it took a long time to find her voice: "Original ...... Turns out you're a woman! ”

He Angelica also looked at the small black hole on the trunk in surprise, God knows that she just kicked it at random!

Zhenjing snatched the wine jar and medicine bag in He Angelica's hand, and said with excitement on her face: "Woman, I am responsible for storing things, and you are responsible for protecting me!" Knock out all the bad guys! ”

He Angelica shook his wrist that had become relaxed, and chuckled: "There's no need to hit them anymore, it is estimated that they also saw this just now, and now all three of them have run away, and they are running extremely fast." One of them seemed to have knocked over a fruit stall on the side of the road, He Angelica listened attentively, and could vaguely hear a woman's voice shouting, "My pears are dirty, you pay for my pears, you can't go, you pay me pears!" ”

Zhenjing turned around four or five times in place, there were not many people on this street, and no one was running, and asked in confusion: "Where are the three people you are talking about, why can't I see them?" ”

He Angelica pointed to the corner of the alley and said, "Just now I was poking my head out in that alley to look at the two of us, and now, I have run two streets away." Okay, leave them alone, let's go send things first and then save money. As he spoke, he bypassed Dahong Qian Zhuang and walked into Qi Bao Qian Village.

Seeing this, Zhenjing was a little puzzled, and asked in a low voice: "I see that Dahong Qianzhuang is bigger, don't we save it to Dahong Qianzhuang?" ”

He Angelica explained: "Although this Dahong money village is big, it is a local money village in Rabbit Town, anyway, I haven't seen a Dahong joint number in Yangzhou, and then I have to go back to Rabbit Town to take the silver, isn't it troublesome?" Although the semicolon of Qibao Money Village here is small, the total number in Yangzhou is quite large-scale, and the reputation is good, and the most important thing is that the money we deposit is 'flying money', and with an identity document, cash can be withdrawn in Yangzhou and Beijing. ”

Zhenjing was stunned for a moment, and said incredulously: "How do you understand everything?" is more civil and military than the 'female concubine Zhuang Yan' in the play! I won't understand that much until I'm fifty. ”

He Angelica shook his head and chuckled: "What is this, anyone who has spare money to save money in the bank knows it." Okay, you go send something, I'll save money, and meet by the willow tree at the door when we're done. As he spoke, he walked to the counter and went to handle the deposit business, but because the depositor was too young, it took a lot of time to check her identity documents.

At last, she deposited two hundred and forty taels of silver in her account, and exchanged the rest of the silver bills and ingots for loose silver, and exchanged two taels of silver for two taels of silver and two copper coins. With this silver as the capital, when you return to Yangzhou in the future, you can slowly plan to do business, and the money will never sleep. She knew all too well that greed was not good, but it was a good thing. No matter where you are, if you can't be a real player, you can only be a nobody.

Walking out of the money village, the willow tree at the door was empty, Zhenjing should have arrived earlier than her. He Angelica was a little anxious, Zhenjing has always been obedient, and there was no reason not to wait for her.

I first went to the place where I stored my things, and saw her two black cloths standing there from a distance, and glanced twice into the money house, but there was still no trace of real silence. Just as he was about to run around to look for it, He Angelica suddenly faintly heard Zhenjing's laughter, "She is amazing, just like a female concubine...... She just kicked a little rock away, guess what's wrong with that little rock......"

He Angelica stared at the direction from which the voice came, and then ran to the northeast, turned two streets, and saw Zhenjing's thin and small figure, and a middle-aged woman standing next to him.

Zhen Jingzheng said with her eyebrows fluttering, and when she raised her eyes, she saw He Angelica from a distance, so she raised her arm and waved at her, shouting: "Xiaoyi, this is my mother!" When He Angelica got closer, she said apologetically, "I'm sorry I didn't wait for you outside the money village, just now I saw a back on the street that looks like my mother, so I caught up and took a look, and I saw that it was really my mother!" ”

He Angelica looked at the middle-aged woman in front of him, her face was vaguely similar to Zhenjing, and said with a smile: "Hello auntie, I am Zhenjing's good friend Xiaoyi, and now I also live in the Taoist temple." In two days, my family will come to pick me up, I want to bring Zhenjing to my house to live together, to be a living deed maid who brings tea and water, and the master of the water business concept Taixi also agreed, what do you mean, auntie? ”

The woman had already heard Zhenjing say this, and hurriedly said: "My family owes the Taoist temple a high interest in land rent, and now it has reached thirty taels, don't you dare to let Miss He help her redeem herself!" I went home and borrowed some money from relatives and friends, ransomed Niu'er, and then sent her to your mansion......"

He Angelica interrupted her: "Don't worry, auntie, the Lord is very good, and I promised that your family's rent arrears will only be calculated according to the ordinary loan interest, and the documents of Taishan's usury have also been burned." Now it only takes five taels of silver to redeem Zhenjing's body, and I will pay it in advance for the time being, and then deduct it from Zhenjing's salary in the future. Also, the rule of our family is that the new maid will pay a year's salary in advance," she lied without making a fuss about ten taels of silver from the money bag, stuffed it into the woman's rough palm, and said with a smile, "I can't spend money on living in my house, you can help her collect this money, we will go to Mi Vinegar Village to find you later, but now we meet in the town, which just saves a lot of work." ”

The woman hurriedly stuffed the money back to He Angelica, shook her head and said, "Miss He, you quietly helped our family repay the loan shark, how can we ask for your money again!" Our family can't earn more than two taels of silver from planting land for a year, how can a stupid girl's salary be ten taels a year! I know Miss He, you are well-intentioned and want to help us, but if you redeem my girl from the Taoist temple, you are the benefactor of our whole family, if I accept your money, her father will scold me when I turn around! ”

He Angelica took out a blue cloth towel from his sleeve and rolled it up with silver, tied it with a dead knot, and re-stuffed it to the woman, and said with a smile: "Auntie doesn't know, the prices in our Yangzhou are extremely high, and the wages of the workers are naturally higher, and the wages of ten taels a year are according to the standard of my family's third-class maids, I didn't give you more, and when Zhenjing does a good job in the future, it can go up again." What's more, I brought her back to Yangzhou, and your mother and daughter can only see each other a few times a year, if you don't accept this money, how can Zhenjing go at ease? Even if you want to make her feel at ease, you shouldn't refuse, and the two of us pushed the silver around on the street, which didn't startle the eyes of those thieves and cause trouble, so you can accept it with confidence, auntie! ”

The woman hesitantly put the blue cloth bag into her arms, looked at Zhenjing uneasily, and said: "Miss He, my girl was sent to the Taoist temple to pay off her debts at the age of six and a half. She still wets the bed every night before she went to the Taoist temple, and I don't know how ...... she is now."

Zhenjing was embarrassed and stood on tiptoe to cover her mother's mouth. So He Angelica persuaded her again, so that she could just hand over Zhenjing to herself with peace of mind, and she would inevitably treat Zhenjing well. After finishing speaking, she couldn't help but sweat on her forehead, how to talk and talk, as if Zhenjing wanted to marry herself.

Because Zhenjing's mother came to sell melon vines in the morning, and now that the melon vines have been sold out and she has a "huge amount of money", she hurried home to report the good news after separating from Zhenjing.

He Angelica and Zhenjing continued to visit the market, and when they saw something useful, they bought some. When passing by the silver shop, He Angelica paused but did not go in, originally she was going to buy some silver needles to channel the true qi in the body, but thanks to the blessing of the ice cube face, her true qi has been collected in the dantian and condensed into its own internal force, so the silver needle can wait until Yangzhou and then go to the "Thousand Hammer People" to order the most exquisite rain flower needle.

After walking half the street, Zhenjing peeked at He Angelica, and saw that her face was as usual, and she didn't take the trouble of wetting the bed to heart, and couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. Thinking that the other party not only paid off the debts for his family, but also insisted on sending ten taels of silver to his mother, he was very grateful. You must know that although the identity of the other party is Miss Qianjin, she was so poor before that she could only eat wild vegetables and bibimbap to satisfy her hunger, but now she has earned more than 200 taels of silver, and she has used a lot of it on herself.

Why is she so good to herself? Why do I always feel familiar to her? Why does she have a sense of confidence in everything?

Looking at the quiet and beautiful face, Zhenjing thanked from the bottom of his heart: "Xiaoyi, thank you for your meticulous care for me, I will definitely learn to comb my hair in the future, and comb your hair every day to repay your ......"

"Not necessarily!" He Angelica insisted, thought about it for a while, and then said, "The word Zhenjing is your Dharma name, although this name is excellent, but in order to show that you have entered the world, the previous Dharma name can no longer be used. Just now I heard your mother call you Niu'er, and I remembered that the Luo family also has a few red girls and blue girls, and if you call Niu'er again, you will have the same name, why don't I give you a new name, just call it 'Cicada Yi'? ”

"Cicada clothes, cicada clothes, cicada clothes," Zhen Jing smiled, "What a nice name, what does cicada clothes mean?" ”

"Cicada clothes are the name of a medicinal herb," He Angelica explained to her, "You have probably also heard that the Luo family is the first medical family in the Ming Dynasty, and the Sanqingtang opened by the Luo family is an eighty-year-old medical hall, and the age of practicing medicine can even be traced back to the Southern Song Dynasty." Therefore, in order to promote family learning, the ancestors of the Luo family let their children and grandchildren hold the rice bowl handed down from their ancestors, and they gave up a tradition of naming the descendants of the Luo family for medicinal materials. Until now, most of the Luo family still follow this custom to name their children and personal maids. ”

Zhenjing was surprised: "So, do your whole family use those medicinal herbs to name your children?" ”

He Angelica nodded: "The six rooms in Luodong Mansion and Luoxi Mansion are roughly based on this tradition, and there are more than a dozen rooms in the Luo family in the capital, and this tradition is no longer strictly followed." My maternal grandfather's generation was named after Du Zhong, Juniper, Du Heng, etc.; In my mother's generation, the names of Sichuan characters such as Sichuan cypress, Sichuan valley, Sichuan Pu, Sichuan xiong, Sichuan Wu, and Sichuan pepper were used; and then to the next generation, that is, Bai Qian, Bai Ji, Bai Ko, Bai Zhi, etc., because the second lady thought the original name was not good, the second wife tried to tell the second master to change his name to Bai Qiong. ”

Zhen Jing suddenly realized: "Speaking of which, your big name 'Angelica' is also the name of medicine!" ”

He Angelica was stunned for a moment, because although Angelica is a medicinal herb, it is said that when his mother named herself, she thought of another meaning......

Zhenjing asked again: "What kind of medicine is that cicada clothes used to cure any disease?" ”

He Angelica rolled his eyes and replied: "The cicada clothes pass through the lung meridian and kidney meridian, remove the heart fire and dampness and heat, and the effect on children's bedwetting is quite good." ”

Zhenjing covered her face and screamed, asking to change her name, and the two laughed together, attracting frequent sideways glances from passers-by.

When passing by the dry goods store, He Angelica asked Zhenjing to wait outside, and after going in for a while, he walked out with a paper bag. Zhenjing asked curiously, "What did you buy?" ”

He Angelica smiled and said: "You'll know when you go back, look, there's a ready-to-wear store over there, let's go in and find two sets of men's clothes to wear and change into." After a while, I will go to Qunxian Building to eat braised lion head, your Taoist costume is too eye-catching, and some people will gossip. ”

So the two went in and each changed into a set of men's clothes and came out. When they walked to the door of the ready-to-wear store, the two saw all kinds of theatrical masks hanging on the inner door, which were very colorful and beautiful, so they went up to watch and tasted it.

Zhenjing saw that He Angelica had picked four or five and planned to buy them, so she dissuaded: "Although this is good-looking, it doesn't eat or drink, how cumbersome it is to travel with it, don't buy it, our luggage carriage can't fit it." ”

He Angelica compared one of the faces to his face and said playfully: "I bought it and gave it away, some people have a dead face all day long, it is better to bring a face mask to live." What do you think, Tall? As soon as the words fell, Zhenjing saw a tall black figure appear at the door, with a black and blue dead face, which frightened her and shrunk her neck and retreated behind He Angelica.

This woman is really different from others...... Gao Jue couldn't help but think like this in his heart.

When she first saw her on the mountain road, she pointed to the mountain grass on the side of the road and told them one by one about which ones could be used as medicine and what diseases could be cured.

When she stepped forward to say hello, her eyelashes drooped, even if she heard Duan Xiaolou say that they were officials, her drooping eyelashes never lifted, and she didn't even tremble, and he suspected that this was not an ordinary girl.

Goodbye to her, it was he who slashed the table with a knife, and when Taishan came to apologize, Duan Xiaolou wanted to see Miss He who had come back from the dead, and they knew that the little Taoist aunt who was familiar with herbs was Miss He. This time, she still replied with respectful and detached eyes, and covered the rippling light under her eyes with two small fan-like eyelashes.

Then, they caught Taichen, who was refining and reselling forbidden medicines, and went to the medicine store to collect evidence but found nothing, and suddenly there was a light knock on the door, and he stepped forward to open the door, and saw those cold eyes again. In the cold night, those eyes looked quietly, and there were countless secrets hidden in the silence as he expected.

When she opened her mouth to say his martial arts cover door, when she found the place where Taichen hid the medicine, when she took out two embroidery needles to press the medicine for him and Lu Jiangbei, when she was leisurely playing the five birds after waking up in the morning, when she was lazily propping up from the bed to give him an eviction order, when she was talking nonsense to the coffin shopkeeper with her eyes open, her eyes often flashed with an uncompelling brilliance.

Gradually, he couldn't help but be fascinated by that pair of eyes.
