Chapter 119: The Mysterious Man

Xiao Xintai came with his daughter-in-law Fang. Le-Wen-Zheng Qingluan invited them to sit in the outhouse of their room.

Zheng Qingluan sat on the kang in the outhouse, his legs covered with sheepskin mattresses, and his body was wrapped tightly in a sheepskin cloak. There was still a lingering smell of medicine in the house. Inviting the two of them over, Zheng Qingluan hurriedly said, "No need to be polite!" and smiled at Fang Shi again, "Sister-in-law sit on the kang, it's weird cold all the way!" asked Mei Xiang to put a carbon basin at Xiao Xintai's feet, and waited for Baiyi to retire after tea, and then said, "Come here in this weather, but what's the matter?"

Fang smiled shyly, "You must know that the master is sick, so you are not in a hurry to disturb!" After speaking, he looked at Xiao Xintai, his eyes showing uneasiness.

Xiao Xintai smiled bitterly, "It's also that I'm anxious! Today, the two of us are gossiping and recalling the past, which is quite suspicious." I was in a hurry to tell my master!"

Zheng Qingluan was stunned for a moment, and then lowered her eyelids, this news came by coincidence! It's not that she is suspicious, it's really that the current situation can't tolerate the slightest carelessness! She smiled, pushed the melon seeds in front of Fang's family, and motioned for her to taste them, "Let's talk about it!"

Fang's eyes instantly became cold, "I'm not afraid of the master's jokes, he only told me the true condition of his body a few days ago! I was blinded at the time! We have been married for five or six years, and my mother-in-law has always been dissatisfied with me! Over the years, I have not given birth to a boy and a half girl to my husband's family, and I am also ashamed to panic! I came to the border city with my uncle, my uncle is a foot trader, doing the trade of leather goods, and he stays in the border city for most of the year every year, collecting some leather goods, bringing them back and selling them, and there are hundreds of taels of silver a year! This day is more than enough!"

"My mother went early, and then my father was sick and went too! In my hometown, my reputation is not good!" Fang smiled bitterly.

Zheng Qingluan nodded clearly, in this case, it is light to say that she is a 'father and mother'! In addition, there is no brother to support, her father is a poor talent who has been sick for many years, and he must not have much property, and his reputation is not good! She motioned for Fang Shi to continue.

"My uncle is not a pedantic man, he doesn't believe this! He prepared fifty acres of dowry fields for me, hoping to show me a family of duty! Later, somehow, my cousin from my uncle's family died of an inexplicable illness, and my aunt made a fuss about my family, let alone a good family affair in my hometown! My uncle brought me to the border city! He said that the border city didn't pay attention to this! They were all men who went to the battlefield, and they were all fierce and vicious, and they couldn't resist it!

"At that time, my mother-in-law asked people to propose marriage, and my uncle made the situation clear in advance! I didn't expect people to mind! My uncle also felt that this family affair was good, and it was difficult to find such a decent family in the border city!" Fang's tone was bitter, "But now that I think about it, where do I don't mind, it is clearly deliberate! She didn't plan to let Xianggong live!"

It is not unreasonable to think so! Of course, a mother must be perfect when choosing a daughter-in-law for her son! If she can't do it, she should do it as much as possible without hindrance! It can be seen that this Mrs. Xiao did not have a good heart from the beginning!

"In the past few days, I have been thinking about it carefully, and I have thought about it carefully! Although Xiang Gong is frail, he does not like to get sick very much, but now that I think about it, I feel that things are really coincidental! Xiang Gong has three illnesses every year, in February, May, and August. After all, the weather starts in February and is hot and cold, and although the weather is hot at the beginning of May, there is a large temperature difference between morning and evening. In August, the weather is getting colder, and it is natural for a person who is not in good health to suffer a minor illness! But this year he lived in the Shuai Mansion, and now the sky has changed! But Xianggong has always been healthy, and his health is better than before!"

"Where could it be so coincidental?" Fang Shi didn't know whether to ask others or himself. "It's changed today, and we gossip, so I remembered this! I remember in a trance that every year when my husband fell ill, the small courtyard where we lived was sealed! My mother-in-law said that she was afraid that she would be too sick, so she only asked people to send food and medicine every day! Moreover, in those days, the uncle was not at home, and the sister-in-law would also send it to the temple to pray for blessings, but there should be guests at home! I can be sure of this!" Fang's words were categorical.

What this means is that there is a mysterious person who meets Xiao Zhiming three times a year, even for a few days!

Zheng Qingluan looked at Xiao Xintai, and saw that his face was pale, and he stopped talking, so he said, "If you have something to say, don't spit it out!"

"If there is something wrong with my father, please spare his life!" Xiao Xintai knelt on the ground, his hands trembling slightly. He must be very conflicted at this time!

"Get up!" Zheng Qingluan sighed, "No matter what, if you don't make a big mess in the border city for ten years, your father will make a great contribution! Don't worry!" After speaking, he motioned for the Fang clan to help Xiao Xintai up, and asked casually, "How long have you been sick each time, and which doctor saw it?"

"Every time you work hard for seven or eight days, you will definitely be cured! The doctor is He Zhiqiang, a military doctor in the army. Xiao Xintai replied very neatly.

Zheng Qingluan nodded, indicating that he understood, "It's cold, you guys go back! What is missing, just find Zhou Hai to go! Don't see outside!"

The two of them went out with a thousand thanks! Zheng Qingluan looked at the tea that had already been cold, and the corners of his mouth hooked up a meaningful smile! These two people are really interesting! They are decisive, and they hate it so much! Knowing that these words will knock Xiao Zhiming into the abyss, they still say it without hesitation! Such a person can be used, but it cannot be trusted! Even if it is used, it must be used against it!

Military doctor He Zhiqiang, plus a mysterious guest!

She told Baiyi to personally pass the word to Xiao Er, and she didn't care about it anymore!

Xiushang brought hot ginger jujube tea, and Zheng Qingluan held it in his hand and drank it slowly. Then he saw the medicine pestle come in from outside, and when he saluted, he went to the brazier and warmed his hands, and then came to check her pulse.

"Not only is there a cold and a fever, but there are also some signs of overthinking! You need to take a good rest!" The medicine pestle is now becoming more and more famous in the style of a famous doctor, speaking with a straight eye and not intolerating suspicion. "You have to keep taking the medicine! The amount is not large, and I am afraid that I will spoil the appetite of the master!" was a very considerate tone. He also admonished, "I know that your acupuncture skills are good, but it's best not to use them! Stimulating acupuncture points to stimulate potential will leave a legacy for the body!" After speaking, he told him to embroider clothes, "You should keep an eye on it! Don't let the master mess around!" After speaking, he turned around and went out!

I didn't give her a chance to speak before and after!Zheng Qingluan was stunned!

Xiushang smiled and took out the sweet potato that had been buried in the morning, "Sweet mouth! It's been so long, it must be ripe!" The skin of the sweet potato is black, Zheng Qingluan doesn't dislike it, pick it up and take out the flesh inside to eat, it's really sweet and delicious, it's very powdery!

When I came back from the news, I shivered with cold! "What the hell is the weather! The snow is getting heavier and heavier!"

Zheng Qingluan patted the position next to her and motioned for her to go up to warm up, "Just listening to the wind outside, I want to shiver!"

The wind slaps the snowflakes on the window lattice, and it makes people's hearts flutter!

Baiyi sat opposite Zheng Qingluan and said with a smile, "Xiao Er, how about a few of them roasting sweet potatoes in the house?"

Zheng Qingluan choked. Obviously, Xiao Er's cold appearance is very incompatible with such a thing as baked sweet potatoes, and this girl has been shocked!"It's all the same person! You like it, and people like it too!What's so strange!" Xiao Yunfeng also loves to eat sugar gourds!

Baiyi's look of 'you are a child, you don't understand', made Zheng Qingluan slightly confused. Seeing her and Xiushang muttering in a low voice, she estimated that eighty percent of these girls were budding in spring!

Before the sweet potatoes were finished here, Baier rushed in again, "Master, what do you want to eat tonight?"

Before she could speak, Baier said, "Let's eat dumplings! Mutton, beef, and radish are all ready, so it should be the winter solstice in advance!"

"Okay—let's go!" Zheng Qingluan replied weakly. Thinking about it, I haven't eaten dumplings for a long time, and I really want to!

This group of girls has become a sperm without anyone pressing!

Zheng Qingluan was distracted on the kang, and he didn't know what happened to Xiao Yunfeng in the south? Is his family all okay? Xiaoba should also grow taller, right? Isn't it time for Daddy to fall in the autumn too?

At this time, in the courtyard of the Zheng family, Zheng Laosan sat in the pavilion by the pond, watching that the wild chrysanthemum had already broken the flower bones, and the lotus pod in the pond was almost ripe.

Saburo was squatting on the edge of the pond, and in the basket was a fat crab, "Dad, this should be edible, right?"

Zheng Laosan glanced at it, all of them were half the size of a palm, and said with a smile, "You can eat it! Let your mother steam it and taste it! This thing is cold, eat less!"

"Cheng!" San Lang said happily, "I'll send a few to my fourth uncle in a while!"

"Just send two to your grandfather and your grandmother!" Zheng Laosan replied lightly, and then said, "Luan'er won't be able to eat this year!"

"Don't worry about it!" Gorou came out of the orchard carrying a basket of fruits, "No matter how bad the Xiao family is, they can't cut off a bite of my sister's food! People don't know how to eat fragrant and spicy food now! The beef and mutton in the border city are not enough to eat? It's not easy to eat beef at home!"

As they spoke, the father and son walked into the courtyard.

Qian was taking out the winter clothes one by one, taking advantage of the good sun, thinking about drying them and putting them away. Save the time to wear the tide. In the past, I didn't think that now I looked at these old clothes and patched clothes, and the patched clothes were really not presentable! In less than a year, people have changed so much, "What a sin!" Qian looked at these old things, and felt a pity in his heart.

"From thrift to luxury, from luxury to thrift. Zheng Laosan patted Qian's arm, "People are like this! Take it! Look at whoever wants it in the village, just give it away!"

"In the past, I also said that Luan'er's dead girl was a loser! Now the whole family has become a loser!" Qian thought of his little daughter, and his nose was sour
