Coming out of the county office, Hua Rujin walked on the way back, still thinking about the things in the house.

Thinking of the big white snake mentioned by Hua Youen, she subconsciously touched the dagger hidden in her arms.

According to Xiao Douding's description, I'm afraid it's not small, maybe it's a big python.

Thinking of this, she went back to Huangliu Lane and bought a large bag of realgar powder.

As soon as I arrived at the door of the house, I heard a familiar voice ringing in my ears: "Cousin." ”

Hua Rujin turned around and saw that her elegant cousin was poking his head out of the carriage to greet her.

"Cousin...... Why are you here, today's grandmother's 60th birthday, don't you have to stay in the house to entertain guests? ”

Hua Rujin looked at him with a little surprise.

"I also want to ask my cousin why she didn't go with my little aunt today?"

Shu Jinxuan stepped out of the carriage and showed a look of concern: "How can I rest assured that you and Youen will stay at home?" ”

When the words fell, he looked around her, and asked as he looked, "Hey, where is Youen?" ”

"Oh, she went to the county government to play."

Hua Rujin smiled nonchalantly.

She ...... Running to the county government to play? ”

Shu Jinxuan showed an incredulous expression.

Hua Rujin was also afraid that he would ask more, so she quickly changed the topic: "What is the matter with my cousin's coming?" ”

Shu Jinxuan hurriedly picked someone out of the carriage and said with a smile: "Cousin, look, who did I bring to you?" ”

Hua Rujin looked at it and saw that it was a middle-aged man with a short stature and a little slow movement, who was squinting his eyes and looking at himself.

She immediately remembered that this was Shu Jiayan, the uncle of the original owner.

In my impression, this uncle loves the original owner the most.

When Shu Jinxuan entered Beijing, the original owner was forced to marry into the Dou family, Shu Jiayan ran to the door of the Dou family and cried all night, almost crying blind, so that he now has to squint his eyes into a line to barely see clearly.

"Is my uncle still healthy?"

With some respect, Hua Rujin asked kindly.

"Ah, I ate, ate."

Shu Jiayan had some ears behind his ears, and his mouth seemed to be covered with phlegm, with a thick Jiangling accent.

Hua Rujin heard vaguely, so she had to get closer and replied casually: "Our family is very good." ”

Listening to the conversation between the old and the young, Shu Jinxuan was so happy that he couldn't close his mouth on the side.

Shu Jiayan slowly took out a bag of pastries from his arms and stuffed them into Hua Rujin's hand, and said hesitantly: "Shou...... Shou cake, brought to you by your uncle, Rujin, why don't you go to see me at home? ”

Hearing this, Hua Rujin fell into a short silence.

She glanced at Shu Jinxuan quietly, opened the courtyard door, and led the father and son into the courtyard.

Shu Jinxuan smelled a pungent smell, glanced at the things in her hand, and hurriedly asked, "Cousin, why did you buy so much realgar powder?" ”

"I'm afraid that there are insects in the yard on a hot day, so buy some realgar powder to repel insects."

Hua Rujin said perfunctory casually, went to the hall and fetched a pot of cold white boiling, poured two lamps and handed them to the father and son.

Shu Jinxuan didn't question the matter of realgar powder, took a sip of boiled water, and made it clear to her meaning: "My sister-in-law is pregnant, and I have to go back to Beijing to raise the baby when I sit down and have a stable fetus. ”

"Yes, your father...... A-Niang's trip this time...... Shang didn't go to sit at home when he came back...... Sit, I want your father to accompany me to drink well tonight, and I will rest when I get drunk. ”

Shu Jiayan said with a serious face: "Rujin, you ...... You also go to the house to play for a few more days and spend time with ...... Accompany your cousin-in-law. ”

Looking at the real eyes of the father and son, Hua Rujin couldn't bear to refuse.

It's just that I have the impression that the original owner and the cousin-in-law are not familiar with each other, and she returned to Beijing with Shu Yuchen soon after marrying into the Shu family.

Thinking that this must be the idea of the elegant cousin himself, he invited himself to the house through the face of his cousin-in-law.

The old lady of the Shu family made a special trip to the house a few days ago to have a strange yin and yang, if she really went to the Shu family today, Tao might not have prepared any embarrassment for herself.

Thinking that the father and son were going to the dock to pick up Hua Junnian, Hua Rujin was overjoyed, and hurriedly came to Shu Jiayan and said loudly: "Uncle, niece has something very important to do today, just go over, let Father go over to drink with you and talk at night, you let them come back tomorrow." ”

Shu Jinxuan knew that her cousin was still haunted by what happened a few days ago, so she didn't force it anymore and pulled Shu Jiayan to get up.

After walking a few steps, he suddenly turned around and said solemnly: "Cousin, I went to the bookstore to buy a lot of books these days, and I am going to take the exam again in three years." ”

Hua Rujin shook his head: "Cousin should work harder, if he can enter the hospital like his eldest cousin, the future is immeasurable." ”

"yes, I'm going to work harder this time."

Shu Jinxuan was silent for a moment, and said euphemistically: "Grandmother said a few days ago that she will not interfere in my family affairs when I have fame." ”

Hua Rujin listened with a frown: It turned out that he was still taking the fame because of family affairs.

"It's good that my cousin can do his own business, but don't use the wrong mind."

Hua Rujin reminded him, and was afraid that he would continue to discuss the private affairs of the two, so he hurriedly urged: "Cousin, take your uncle back quickly, don't delay the hour, I'm afraid there are a lot of distinguished guests in the house today." ”

Shu Jinxuan nodded, and looked at her with affection: "I never need to miss my thoughts." ”

Three years ago, he only thought that his grandmother and the Ye family divorced because of prejudice against the Ye family, and their respective ages were still young, so he entered Beijing with full ambition to take the exam, but he never thought that soon after entering Beijing, he learned that his cousin married into the Dou family, which hit him hard.

Now, my uncle's family has been separated from the Hua family, and no one will force my cousin to propose marriage.

Thinking of this, a warm smile suddenly appeared on his face: "This time, I don't have to rush to the capital, just stay at home to prepare for the exam." ”

"You...... The old grandmother agreed, saying that your eldest brother entered the palace and couldn't take care of your second brother because of the complicated affairs, so let him stay at home and enter Beijing before the big exam. ”

Shu Jiayan slowly untied a bag from his waist while agreeing, and handed it to Hua Rujin: "This is the silver that my uncle saved by himself, you keep it and keep it for clothes and jewelry." ”

"Uncle, I have silver."

Hua Rujin pushed the bag back into Shu Jiayan's hand and looked at Shu Jinxuan: "Today, the county has sent another fifty taels of silver in compensation, and the money at home is temporarily enough." ”

"It's okay, I'll send someone to deliver the medicinal herbs in a few days."

As soon as Shu Jinxuan's words fell, Hua Rujin said: "If my cousin really lacks a place to store medicinal materials, these two miscellaneous rooms can be reserved for my cousin, as for the work of sorting medicinal materials, my father has gone to the dock now, and my aunt is not familiar with pharmacology, so I am afraid that I will not be able to help much." ”

Moreover, she already has an idea in her heart for the future livelihood of Hua Junnian and Cai Baiwei.

"Okay, it's all up to you."

Shu Jinxuan's smile became a little bitter, and led Shu Jiayan out thoughtfully.

Seeing the father and son walk away, Hua Rujin returned to the pergola, looking at the bag of realgar powder on the table and gradually fell into deep thought.
