Chapter 168: Poor People Must Have Something to Hate
Du Zhongqing's face changed.
The embarrassment of not being good at pretending exposed his heart.
"No, no. The valuable things in the house have long been sold, and there is nothing but ...... I don't dare to bother Mrs. Zhang. ”
"No hassle. I don't have much else to do, but I have a lot of free time. Xin Yi glanced at Fu Jiuqu's cold and hard face, and said with a faint smile: "Then it's decided." Shopkeeper Du doesn't need to be nervous, I happened to make an appointment with a craftsman to come to renovate the house this afternoon, which couldn't be more convenient. ”
Du Zhongqing hesitated.
His eyes kept looking at his yard, and finally he had nothing to say, so he thanked him.
"Then there is Mrs. Lao Zhang."
He bowed down to Fu Jiuqu again, "There is the king of Laojun." ”
Du Zhongqing said goodbye and left, and after a while, he sent a young man who looked like a small servant, saying that he was here to help Zhang Niangzi repair the wall, but the intention was obvious.
"There are no three hundred taels of silver here." Sitting back in the inner room, Fu Jiuqu held the teacup and smiled lazily, "This Du Zhongqing is a little interesting." ”
Xin Yi was rummaging through the pieces of medicinal tea, and his brows moved slightly when he heard this, but there was no squeak.
On the chair opposite Fu Jiuqu, Cao Yi was lying.
Zhou Daozi just showed him a back injury, pinched and massaged, and rubbed the blood-invigorating topical ointment, but it was still inconvenient to move.
Listening to Fu Jiuqu's words, Cao Yi glanced at him.
"In the eyes of the county king, people are human thieves."
Fu Jiuqu's cold and hard face was slightly sideways, as if he was smiling.
"Lord Cao, this is self-knowledge?"
Cao Yi wanted to glare at him, but he felt pain when he twisted his neck, his face was twisted in pain, and he couldn't do anything, so he could only purse his lips tightly and say nothing.
Xin Yi glanced over, wanted to laugh, but didn't dare to laugh.
Cao Yi is a noble gentleman, and a villain like Fu Jiuqu can probably have a hundred ways to deal with a noble gentleman.
He could really make Cao Yi vomit blood with an expressionless face.
is also a victim of Fu Jiuqu's mouth, Xin Yi slightly sympathized with Cao Yi, and handed the brewed medicinal tea to Cao Yi's hand.
"Relaxing the muscles and activating the tea, it has the effects of blood, blood stasis, and pain relief, which is good for Lord Cao's waist."
Cao Yi: "Thank you, lady." ”
Xin Yi saw that his hands were trembling, and hurriedly held the tea cup, "Be careful of scalding." ”
Listening to the concern revealed in the words, Cao Yi looked at her gratefully, as if he wanted to imprint her appearance in his mind, staring at her for a long time, that look, that smile, as warm as ever.
"Thank you."
With a dumb voice, he slowly raised his hand.
Xin Yi held the cup and helped him drink it.
The very bitter medicine seemed to be poured into his heart from his mouth, Cao Yi didn't dare to raise his eyes, didn't dare to look at Xin Yi, swallowed it in small bites, greedy for this short time......
"Sun Huai." Fu Jiuqu's faint voice came, with a little low smile, "Lord Cao is injured like this, what are you still standing here?" Why don't you help? ”
Sun Huai looked at his master's expression, and the corners of his mouth twitched, "Yes." ”
Xin Yi was stunned, seeing that Cao Yi had stopped swallowing and was obviously short of breath, knowing that he was angry, but she didn't know what to say.
In fact, whether the person in front of her is Cao Yi or not, she will do the same, this is just based on the habit of a medical worker, but when Sun Huai came over, she still silently gave way to her position.
Sitting back by the window, Xin Yi saw Fu Jiuqu's eyes glowing cold, pondered for a moment, and picked up his previous question.
"The king of the county also suspects Du Zhongqing?"
"Hmm." Fu Jiuqu lazily took a light drink.
Several people are in the same room, but the king of Guangling is lazy and comfortable, as if he is indifferent to everything, and as if he is in control of everything.
"This king wants to check him."
Xin Yi's breath tightened, and he couldn't help but show joy, "That's really good." ”
Seeing that Fu Jiuqu's eyes were cold, there were incomprehensible doubts in them, she smiled, grafted the "fox demon plot" she brought from the game to the rumors of Li Dazui, and said it as if she was finished, and said with a faint smile:
"Although the rumors are not true, what if they are true? Happily to save the poor woman. ”
Cao Yi looked at her softly, "Mrs. Zhang is kind-hearted. ”
Fu Jiuqu snorted coldly, "Poor people must have something to hate. If it is true, this woman should also be convicted of killing innocent people for revenge......"
Sun Huai coughed lightly: "Master......"
As a bystander, Sun Huai has already seen this matter thoroughly, his master has done a lot for Mrs. Zhang, but the bad thing is that he has a mouth, and he can't coax the little lady's sweet words.
Sun Huai wanted to remind him, but Fu Jiuqu looked at it coldly.
"What?"
Sun Huai smiled awkwardly, bitter in his heart, and was about to find some excuse to get past it, when Xiang Ling came in to report.
"Sister, the craftsman is here."
Sun Huai breathed a sigh of relief and smiled at Fu Jiuqu, but Fu Jiuqu glared at him fiercely.
……
Xin Yi went out and saw the man leading two craftsmen-like men over, Xin Yi invited them to sit down in the side room of the medicine hall, went back to the house and took his sketch over, and spread it out in front of them.
"Let's see, is this a design feasible?"
The two craftsmen glanced at each other, picked it up and looked at it, and then glanced at Xin Yi.
"Who painted this?"
"It's me." Xin Yi smiled.
The craftsman's gaze was a little contemptuous.
"The lady is really whimsical."
"Really? Please do not hesitate to correct me. ”
"Look at what you painted, what is this?" Seeing Xin Yi's humble look of asking for advice, the craftsman frowned and pursed his lips, "Don't say that the house in Bianjing City has never been built like this, just say that if the lady builds two more floors above the house, it won't work." ”
Another said, "The Jinzhuang tile next door, the highest building is only three floors, according to the height painted by the lady, I am afraid that it is much higher than Jinzhuang." One is that the stability of the house is not good, which consumes labor and money, and the other is to suppress the feng shui of other families, which is easy to provoke. ”
Xin Yi pursed his lips and smiled slightly.
"Let's talk about it, can you make it?"
The two craftsmen looked at each other again, their brows furrowed slightly, and then they shook their heads in unison.
"The little lady should find another talent. You can build this house, and the construction period and money you need to spend are not ......."
At present, the materials used to repair the house, in addition to bricks and stones, are wood, and the problem of stability Xin Yi has considered, but she is not studying architecture, but has just made the planning, and believes that the problem of balance and stability of this building should be solved by craftsmen, after all, from the Sui and Tang dynasties to the Northern Song Dynasty, there were many construction engineering experts in history.
Who would have expected that when I looked at the drawings, they would reject it.
This design took Xin Yi nearly ten days, blending all the fantasies of ancient houses in her heart, and adding some modern styles, which may be a little special for the craftsman, but she never expected that the craftsman would say that he could not build it.
She was a little disappointed when she was poured a scoop of cold water with enthusiasm, but she still gently invited two craftsmen to see the siege and paid the deposit for the restoration.
After these things are done, I will go back, Fu Jiuqu has already left.
Presumably left quietly through the side door, without saying goodbye to Xin Yi, as if he regarded the medicine shop as his own home, he came when he wanted to, and left when he wanted.
Cao Yi's eldest follower, Zheng Liu, also got the news. He brought a small sedan chair and two attendants, and while he was angry about the suffering of his master, he didn't have a good face for Xin Yi.
"Why didn't the adults listen to the words of the eldest lady, and ran out in a dignified manner, what kind of crime did you suffer......
"I'm fine." Cao Yi didn't mention anything about the fight with Fu Jiuqu, glanced at Zheng Liu lightly, and looked at Xin Yi with gentle eyes.
"I caused trouble to my lady today, Cao is really ashamed."
"Lord Cao, you're welcome." Xin Yi thought about building a house, but he couldn't see Zheng Liu's reproach at all, so he turned around and wrapped some pieces of medicinal tea from the cabinet and handed them over.
"Twice a day, soak in water. Just let the adults drink two cups. ”
Zheng Liu didn't want to take it, but when he saw Cao Yi's signal, he lowered his head and took it, not being happy or happy.
"Mrs. Zhang doesn't let us adults suffer a little, and those of us who are subordinates are thankful."
Xin Yi was stunned, teased his eyelids, and chuckled.
"Then Zheng Guards will take good care of their masters in the future, it is best to let your eldest lady build a golden house to lock people up, otherwise if you are injured, who can afford to pay for it?"
Zheng Liu's face changed when he was stunned.
Cao Yi glanced at him unhappily and sighed helplessly.
"Mrs. Zhang, don't worry about him, he just cares about me, and he doesn't choose what to say."
Xin Yi looked at him and suddenly sneered.
"He cares about adults, what does it have to do with me? He can say whatever he wants, and I can be straightforward...... The adults are noble, and the guards of the adults are also superior, can they be cheap and other commoners? ”
Cao Yi: "I have no intention of doing so, Mrs. Zhang, you know ......"
Xin Yi smiled lightly, "What do I know, an ignorant woman and child? I only know that if the guards of the king of Guangling County dare to be so unruly, and speak openly in front of the master, let alone be punished, it is a question of whether they will be beaten or not......"
Cao Yi's face sank.
She actually compared him to Fu Jiuqu.
Should it be his honor, or is it her intention?
Shame him also.
Cao Yi's brows became tighter and tighter, but Xin Yi didn't notice it, smiled slightly, and walked over to open the curtain, "Lord Cao, please." The consultation fee is half-run, the medicine fee is consistent, and the front office is tired of settling the bill. ”
------Off topic------
Fu Jiuqu: Come without a trace, go without a trace, I am like entering my own home!
Cao Yi: Shameless.
Fu Jiuqu: Master Cao is really unscrupulous about himself, how can he say such an appropriate word?
Cao Yi: Today is your small victory, when my body improves, I will be even better in the future.
Fu Jiuqu: Don't be, this time I flashed my waist and I was saved, but next time I will hurt the root, but it will not be cured.
