Early the next morning, Xin Yi handed over the child to Xiang Ling and his lover, specially changed into men's clothes, and prepared to take the carriage of Xiao Cao Niangzi's family into the city.

Sanbao clamored to go with him, and cried at the door for a while, and was later hugged back by his lover.

Liu and Zhang Erlang listened to the corner of the wall for a long time next door, with vicious chirping on their faces.

"This little slut sneaked into the city, he must have done something shady. Erlang, go to the car, call the eldest daughter-in-law, the old lady wants to arrest her today, so that she has no face to live again. ”

Xin Yi has been in the limelight in Zhangjia Village for a while, and the Liu family has long hated this daughter-in-law who can't be handled, so he is thinking about when to vent his evil anger.

The same is true for Zhang Erlang, Xiao Xie was taken away by Kaifeng Mansion, and he didn't get it back for so long, and every time he went to inquire, he didn't get a letter, and he also held a grudge.

The two of them set up the car and followed out the door.

……

Xin Yi talked and laughed with Xiao Cao Niangzi along the way, and walked into the "Qingming Riverside Picture" along the official road, this set picture, she has seen countless times, and now she is in it, there is a feeling of sudden dream.

Xiao Cao Niangzi has received a lot of favors from Cao Yi and Gao Miao these days, and today she specially brought some of her own chicken eggs and local goods to Da Cao Mansion and Pu Wang's Mansion to return the gift.

Xin Yi got out of the car by the Hongqiao and said goodbye to Xiao Cao's lady.

The Hongqiao at this point is very lively, people come and go on the bridge, there are all kinds of stalls on both sides of the bridge railing, fortune tellers, shouting and selling goods, and the noise is incomparable. There are two small boats anchored under the bridge, and a slightly larger passenger boat is passing through the arch, and the boatmen are shouting trumpets and paddling hard......

While looking at the scenery of Hongqiao, Xin Yi walked along the bridge and finally stopped at the door of a tavern called "Red Furnace Wine Shop".

Green ants brew new wine, a small red clay stove, and a crooked-necked weeping willow hidden in front of the door, this is the right place.

Xin Yi chuckled and walked in.

"How many Lang Jun are there?"

The wine seller greeted her warmly, Xin Yi's gaze passed over her, and looked at the position near the Bianhe River in the middle room, "I'm looking for someone." ”

When Dong Dahai saw her, he got up and beckoned, and without waiting for Xin Yi to walk over, he called the wine man over, "I want a plate of horn roasted kidneys, a green onion and a rabbit, cut half a catty of braised sheep's feet, and then warm a corner of wine, hurry up and serve it." ”

The wine seller smiled and went down to buy it.

Xin Yi sat down on the side of Dong Dahai and looked at today's host and guest.

"Boss Ma, right?"

"Ma Fan. The little lady smiled. ”

The Chuzhou pharmacist introduced by Dong Dahai looked to be around forty years old, with long hair, dressed plain and elegant, and smiled and narrowed his eyes as soon as he spoke, looking full of affinity.

Dong Dahai is very sensible, and after making an introduction, he bared his teeth and said goodbye.

"Today's wine money is mine, you two eat slowly, I still have to be busy in the shop, go first. Offended, offended! ”

The wine and food came up one after another, Xin Yi and Ma Fan sat opposite each other, raised their hands to pour wine for him, and smiled lightly.

"Boss Ma came to me today, it's not as simple as paying the final payment, right?"

Ma Fan picked up the wine glass and took a sip at the corner of his lips, and smiled.

"The little lady is an understanding person, so Ma will not hide it. I do have a private matter, and I want to ask the little lady about it. ”

Xin Yi smiled: "Please speak." ”

Ma Fan squinted and looked at her like a scrutinizing person, and only after a long time did he speak faintly: "As far as Ma knows, there is only one person in this world who knows the magic of Ma Nux and Chu Sheng. I'm curious about the origin of the little lady? Where did you get your strychnine? ”

Xin Yi smiled and asked, "Then Boss Ma, where did you learn about Ma Nuzi?" ”

Ma Fan's hand paused slightly, then put it down, took out a yellowed drawing from his arms, and moved it from the table to Xin Yi's face.

"When Ma entered Beijing to sell medicinal materials, he was taken care of by Imperial Doctor Chen, he saw that I was alone, and often let me live in his house, warm wine and entertainment, we fell in love and became friends for the New Year. Later, Dr. Chen asked me to look for this kind of tree, and I got to smell it or two......"

Xin Yi asked, "Did Boss Ma find the tree?" ”

Ma Fan narrowed his eyes and sighed with emotion.

"I went around and found two ...... for him."

Xin Yi narrowed his eyes, "What about the tree?" ”

Ma Fan shook his head, "I traveled thousands of miles to transport the strychnine tree to Bianjing, but I heard that Chen Chusheng has been demoted and returned to his hometown. ”

Xin Yi asked again: "What about the tree?" ”

Ma Fan shook his head again: "I can't find anyone, and I don't know what the purpose of this tree is, so it must have been discarded or died...... For many years, I have never seen strychnine, this time I suddenly learned from the shopkeeper Dong that there is this thing for sale, I was shocked, so I made an appointment with the little lady to come to meet, abrupt, and I hope to forgive me. ”

After a pause, he saw that Xin Yi was silent, and said: "I have already answered what the little lady asked me, should the little lady answer me?" ”

Xin Yi thought about it and sighed lightly.

"After Imperial Physician Chen was deposed, he lived in our village, and this tree happened to be planted in the village, and I heard about it from Imperial Physician Chen......

She said half-truthfully, telling Ma Fan about the suffering of Chen Chusheng's family, and he sighed with emotion after hearing it, stroking his beard and sighing.

"It's a pity, it's a pity......"

Ma Fan unfolded the drawing, pondered for a moment, and suddenly looked up at Xin Yi, "Ma wants to go to the medical house where Imperial Doctor Chen lived...... It's the lightning-struck Medicine King Pagoda to worship, I don't know if it's inconvenient for the little lady to accompany you? ”

Xin Yi frowned slightly, then smiled.

"Of course."

The two made an appointment, and Xin Yi asked him about the market of some northern and southern medicinal materials, and Ma Fan asked and answered, and he was very expert.

Xin Yi changed his words at this time, and asked with a smile: "Imperial Doctor Chen has a fellow disciple named Cui You, I don't know if Boss Ma knows it?" ”

Ma Fan was stunned for a moment, and said with a smile: "Back then, in Taiyi Chen's mansion, I had a relationship with this Cui Langzhong, and I once drank around the fireplace, talked about wine and medicine, and was not very happy, how could I give birth to a little lady who also knew him?" ”

Xin Yi smiled: "Cui Langzhong is in Bianjing. ”

Ma Fan's face showed a little surprise, "I once heard that Cui Lang traveled the rivers and lakes and made the world his home, but I didn't expect to settle in Bianjing, and I wanted to meet my old friend ...... I was bothered to be introduced by the little lady."

Xin Yi still kept a smile and said indifferently.

"Well, I'll help Boss Ma make an appointment with Cui Langzhong, how about meeting the Medicine King Tower tomorrow?"

"Good ......"

Before Ma Fan's good word fell, there was a bang at the door of the wine shop.

When Liu was watching outside for a long time, he saw that the two of them were eating and drinking, laughing and laughing, and he was impatient, so he rushed in with Zhang Erlang and Gong, and scolded Xin Yi in front of many diners.

"Okay, you shameless little prostitute, I finally got caught today, right? Come out and hook up with wild men in the middle of the day, you can't stand it like this, and you have a lot of itchy flesh, isn't it ......"

Liu's background as a dancing god, pretending to be a god and a ghost all his life, relying on these two mouths, scolding people with a sharp voice, a big formation, and a stinky mouth.

Gong Shi was a little unbearable, pulled her sleeve,

"Mother, if you have something to say, don't let people see the joke."

Liu took a sip, shook off Gong's and wanted to roll up his sleeve.

"Little cheap hooves are not afraid of jokes, what is the old lady afraid of? My San Lang hasn't come out yet, and today an old lady is going to pull this lewd woman to see the official, and I want an explanation for San Lang......"

Xin Yi couldn't help but laugh when she looked like a shrew.

"What are you yelling about? It's not shameful enough, is it? ”

Liu was a little afraid of her strength, and didn't dare to really get started, so he only crossed his waist and scolded weirdly, so that others could listen.

"My daughter-in-law here, her wings are stiff, and her mother dares to scold casually, she really raised a white-eyed wolf, and the neighbors have come to judge and judge, this kind of little cheap hoof, should she be dragged to see the official and squatted in prison......"

It's noisy. Xin Yi rubbed his temples.

This Liu is the lice on his body, and he can't bite people to death.

Seeing that there were more and more people gathered around to see the excitement, pointing and laughing, Xin Yi apologized to Ma Fan, got up and strode towards Liu.

"Since you're not afraid of being embarrassed, then I'll help you become famous......"

Liu's eyes widened, "Little, what are you going to do?" ”

Xin Yi didn't answer, grabbed Liu's wrist and pulled it out. Liu screamed loudly, but he couldn't break free from Xin Yi's palm, the whole person howled like killing a pig, Zhang Erlang followed up to grab people, Gong was at a loss to persuade peace, several people were noisy and shouted, until they walked to a wine shop full of flower poles by the Bianhe River......

The crowd grew bigger and bigger.

Xin Yi smiled coldly and pushed Liu in.

"Shopkeeper, this is Zhang Shilang's mother-in-law, she came to help Zhang Shilang settle the bill."

At this time, there is no Qinglou in Bianjing City, and this kind of wine shop with Cailou Huanmen is a happy place.

Liu's own son Zhang Shilang is a prodigal son who lingers all day long, and the sons of Zhangjiacun can't marry a daughter-in-law now, and Liu feels that he owes his son, and he can't manage it, so he can only let him go to the affair. This kid loves to pretend to be broad, and he owes a lot of silver in Huanlou.

Unfortunately, when Xin Yi carried Liu in, Zhang Shilang was being pushed and stumbled downstairs by several girls, one by one, "Cuixiang, you wait for the fourth master, and when the fourth master has collected enough money, he will come to redeem ...... for you."

Then, he was scolded by the girls.

In this era, there is no shame in men seeking pleasure, but it is shameful that they still come to have fun without silver.

Liu's old face was red and white for a while, and he couldn't hang it anymore.

"Something that doesn't fight for it!"

She didn't care about Xinyi, walked over and grabbed Zhang Shilang and dragged him out.

"Let's go, go home with my mother."

Several tall men who looked like nurses came over and stopped in front of them.

"Are you Zhang Shilang's wife? Well, settle the money your son owes us for the wine and the money for the girl's body,"

Liu almost fainted.

And Xin Yi had already taken advantage of the noise and retreated silently.

Flick your sleeves and don't take away a cloud.
