Volume I, Chapter 11

When she pushed the door open and tried to get out, a wall of flesh blocked her way.

Qi Shan's clear eyes raised slightly, and softly called Brother Xuanyi, and stepped back to the side to let Xuanyi in.

Xuan Yi gently put a bowl of steaming dark red decoction in his hand on the glazed elm table, and said softly: Ginger brown sugar water, drink it while it's hot.

Ji Shan glanced sideways slightly, her heart couldn't help but warm, and she said in a coquettish voice: Thank you, Brother Xuanyi.

The hot sugar water goes in from the mouth and warms the heart. She clearly remembered that time, because of the cold during the menstrual period, the abdominal pain was unbearable, her face was pale, and she happened to be bumped into by Xuanyi, he didn't say a word, so he immediately asked the shopkeeper to cook her a bowl of ginger brown sugar water, which relieved the pain. From that time on, Xuanyi not only remembered her menstrual time, but also prepared a bowl of such sugar water for her to drink every time, and after a long time, she got used to it.

Xuan Yi looked at the distracted Qi Shan, raised his hand to take the empty bowl in her hand, and asked softly: What do you want?

Qi Shan came back to her senses, and was about to say something, but there was a faint roar outside the door, and they looked at each other for a while, and then hurriedly listened to the steps and walked out.

When they arrived at the gate of the garden hall, they saw that Jiu Zui was hurrying from the other side.

And as soon as the owner of the roar saw Jiu Drunk, he hurriedly stepped forward, and said urgently: Doctor Yin, hurry up... The second young master of my family is dying.

Jiu Zui's expression froze, and he hurriedly ran out without saying a word.

Xuan Yi and Qi Shan didn't say a word, and then followed.

Although the dawn has arrived, at this time, the cold sunlight makes people feel strangely cold.

In the room, Lin Xiao lay quietly in the bed, his eyes closed, his face pale, without a trace of blood.

Jiu Zui was sitting in front of the bed and concentrating on his pulse, his whole face condensed together, and it seemed that the situation was not optimistic.

Mrs. Lin stood aside, supported by Mrs. Lin, trembling and sobbing.

What made people wonder was the disheveled maid kneeling in front of the bed, and she shivered, biting her lower lip, and her wide-open pupils were full of fear.

When Xuan Yi and Qi Shan stepped into the room, they looked at each other meaningfully, because this room was the place where the inexplicable sound came from last night.

After a while, Jiu Zui put Lin Xiao's stiff hand back in its place, got up and said to Mrs. Lin abruptly: Madam, please prepare for the future...

When Mrs. Lin heard this, her whole person softened, and she pounced on Lin Xiao, crying: Xiao'er, you can't go, you can't leave your mother...

Xuan Yi frowned, and whispered to Jiu Zui: Jiu Zui, didn't you pat your chest yesterday and say that you could cure his illness? How to do it today.

Jiu drunk sighed, and said helplessly: Yes, but he didn't listen to me, do you know that the most taboo for people with heart disease is the affairs of men and women, and I specially explained the day before yesterday, you said this...

Jiu drunk's words reached the ears of Mrs. Lin, she didn't say a word, walked to the maidservant, raised her hand and slapped her, and said hatefully: You slut, you obviously know that the second young master is sick, and you still seduce him, you say, what are your intentions?

The maid goddess panicked, shook her head, and cried: Young lady, I didn't, it was the second young master who forced me...

"Shut up." Mrs. Lin shouted angrily. Saying that, she got up slowly, her sad and angry eyes fixed on her, and said sharply: Until now, you still dare to wronged the second young master, come on, drag this slut out, and beat me to death with a stick.

As soon as the words fell, two strong men rushed in at the door, grabbed the maidservant and dragged them out.

"Stop." , Xuan Yi stopped the shock, and turned to Mrs. Lin to persuade: Mrs. Lin, is it a bit against common sense to abuse lynching before the rights and wrongs of the whole thing are clarified?

Mrs. Lin glanced at Xuanyi, still unmoved, and said, "Against common sense? Ge Gongzi, my son has already died, and I still need to check what is black and white, and besides, this slut is just a servant girl in my house, and she has a cheap life, even if she has ten lives, she can't match my son's life.

"Mrs. Lin, do you know that according to the laws of the country, this abuse of lynching will lead to imprisonment at least and worry about life at worst, just as Mrs. Lin said, she is only a cheap life, for her cheap life, is it not too worthwhile to accompany Mrs. Your noble life." Ruoshan said righteous words, which just stumped Mrs. Lin.

Just when Mrs. Lin hesitated, a servant hurriedly came in and said, "Madam, Lin Zhu is waiting in the hall, saying that he is here to take away the criminal who killed the second young master."

Young Madam Lin on the side was suddenly startled, and asked in a panic: How did this yamen know?

"I asked you to report the crime", a crisp voice sounded, and I saw a woman dressed in white walking in slowly.

When Qi Shan saw this woman, she was stunned, and the woman was also shocked, so she turned her eyes and glanced at Lin Xiao on the bed, not seeing the slightest sadness.

Mrs. Lin saw that it was her daughter, and her tone softened: Xian'er, why do you say you are so rash?

Lin Xian'er took a few steps forward again, and said lightly: Mother, why am I so rash, you said that the second brother died so miserably, is it wrong for me to report to the official.

"Of course it's wrong, I said the third sister, as the saying goes, the ugliness of the family is not publicized, you, the official, don't make it known to everyone, how will the Lin family gain a foothold in this Xianning County in the future." Young Lady Lin raised her mouth and reprimanded.

Lin Xian'er laughed hungrily, slowly walked in front of Mrs. Lin, raised her head and said to her: "Sister-in-law, do you say that there are fewer ugly things in our Lin family?"

"Enough, Xian'er, don't mess around anymore, do you know what the situation of the Lin family is now, your father just left, and now your second brother is also gone, who else do you say the Lin family can rely on in the future... Mrs. Lin said, and couldn't help but feel sad again.

Lin Xian'er pursed her lips, as if persuading: Mother, I know, the second brother is gone, you are very heartbroken, but don't forget, the Lin family not only has a second brother and a son, we also have a big brother.

Mrs. Lin shook her head wistfully, and said indifferently: What is the use of that sick man, even when his younger brother left, he couldn't take a look, can he still be expected to preside over the overall situation for the Lin family in the future?

Mrs. Lin Shao's eyes lit up, raised her hand to mix with Mrs. Lin, and said: Mother, Lin Shun originally wanted to come over, but I was afraid of this kind of scene, and his body couldn't support it, so I stopped him, but mother, you don't know, his body has improved a little, and his spirit is much better, I wonder if I can find a doctor to show him again, maybe he can get better.

As soon as Mrs. Lin's words came out, Lin Xian'er was surprised, and secretly thought: What kind of medicine is this Wen Yue'e selling in her heart, and she can speak for her eldest brother.

She stared at her in disbelief for a while, then turned to Mrs. Lin and said: Mother, since you were a child, because your eldest brother was not in good health, you didn't care about him, and even gave up on him. But what's the matter, eldest brother, he is also your son, the eldest young master of the Lin family...

Mrs. Lin's sad face twitched, and she said in a deep voice: Okay, Xian'er, your second brother just left, I don't have the heart to mess with you, if you feel sorry for your second brother, stay, if you don't care, get out.

Lin Xian'er glanced at Lin Xiao on the bed indifferently, then retracted her gaze, and said lightly: Mother, please mourn, my daughter will take a step back first.

Mrs. Lin looked at the unrelenting back, trembling with anger, and cried out in a trembling voice: The family is unfortunate!

At 10 o'clock in the middle of the day, the scorching sun shone down from high in the sky, making people feel extremely dazzling.

There are two figures standing in front of the gate of the county government, which are Xuanyi and Qi Shan.

"Brother Xuanyi, why is the door of this yamen closed, and the maid of the Lin family, has she already passed the hall or has not been promoted to the hall at all?" Seeing that the door was closed, Qi Shan couldn't help but twist her eyebrows and asked.

Xuan Yi stared at the yamen for a moment, and then said: Go in and have a look.

As soon as the two of them walked up the steps, they were stopped by the guards: What are you doing?

As soon as Xuan Yi wanted to speak, he was robbed by Ji Shan: We want to see the county master.

The guard turned his head and glanced at Ji Shan, looked carefully from beginning to end, slipped his eyes, and said flatteringly: Could it be that the girl is also here to participate in the draft?

"Draft?", Xuan Yi and Qi Shan asked in unison.

The guard asked again, "Didn't you come here after reading the announcement of the Yamen's draft for today's Holy Lord?"

Xuan Yi frowned, hesitating.

But Qi Shan was clever and replied: Yes, big brother, we just read the announcement, please let me announce it, okay?

The guard raised his hand and said in a gesture of invitation: The two of you can go in with me directly, the county lord has ordered, as long as you come to the draft, you don't need to report, and besides, the girl looks so symbolic, our county lord must be very happy when he sees it.

"Really?" Then it's troublesome Big Brother said, turned around and glanced at Xuan Yi angrily, and walked in by himself.

Xuan Yi was stunned for some reason, shook his head helplessly, and followed.

Coming to the door of the side hall of the yamen, Qi Shan took advantage of the gap when the guards went in to report the report, and stared at Xuan Yi with a pair of black and playful eyes,

asked sourly: It turns out that Brother Xuanyi is going to marry, and there is more than one, and there are groups of wives and concubines.

"I... , Tian Xuanyi was speechless for a while, he had only heard it from Jiu Zui's mouth last night, he thought it was just a rumor, but he didn't expect that there was really such a thing.

Seeing that Xuan Yi hesitated and didn't answer, Qi Shan pulled the corners of her mouth and smiled: Brother Xuan Yi, this matter should not be true.

Xuan Yi just wanted to explain, but the guards had already walked over and said to them: "Two of you, please go in."

Xuan Yi and Qi Shan nodded, and stepped into the side hall.

As soon as the two entered the door, the county master's eyes kept falling on Qi Shan, and they never moved away until they sat down.

Ahem... Xuan Yi coughed lightly twice, and the folding fan in his hand waved as if out of nowhere.

The county magistrate retracted his gaze embarrassedly and said: I'm sorry, but this girl looks too good, so people have to look at it twice, by the way, I don't know the girl's name, what is the age of Fang this year?

Regarding the directness of the county master, Ji Shan did not beat around the bush, and replied with a smile: My surname is Jia, my name is Feng, and I am just eighteen this year.

"Jia Feng, Jia Feng... Good name, good name" After the county lord groaned to himself, he turned to Xuan Yi and asked: I don't know what to call the son?

"Ge Xuanyi". Xuan Yi replied loudly.
