After listening to the old lady's words, Xia Jin finally understood the old lady's intention.
It turns out that this is the origin of Lin Ziyi's anorexia. No wonder he wanted to deal with the prime minister, and even used the spirit stone as a condition to let himself act with him.
He saw the old lady looking at him, waiting for a reply.
Xia Jin replied: "When I first came to the capital, the old lady and the general helped me a lot. Now that I need help, I, Xia Jin, will definitely do my best!"
The old lady looked pleased, "With Jin'er's words, I feel relieved!"
After saying that, the old lady looked at Xia Jin and said with a smile: "Otherwise the fake show is real and I can marry Ziyi!"
Xia Jin waved her hands quickly, "No, my status is not worthy of a general!"
"Why are you not worthy? You are the owner of the Food God Hall! This status is much better than those ordinary ladies!" said the old lady.
Xia Jin half clenched her hands into fists, put them to her lips and coughed lightly.
How could she explain that she was not from this world and would leave here sooner or later?
If she said this, I'm afraid the old lady wouldn't believe it, and would even treat her as a madman and a monster.
"Jin'er, think about it slowly, there will be a long time to come!" Seeing that Xia Jin was in trouble, the old lady didn't say any more.
After all, it was too direct to discuss marriage with a girl's family just like that.
When parents order a matchmaker, it has always been the parents who ask the matchmaker for marriage, so there is no direct question.
Thinking of this, the old lady said: "Jin'er, are there any relatives at home?"
Xia Jin thought of her original tragic experience. The country was destroyed, and her family was probably gone too.
Xia Jin shook his head, "They all died in the war."
After hearing this, the old lady had a look of pity on her face, "Poor child, if you miss your relatives in the future, come to me! I will be your relative! Even if you are not with Ziyi in the future, you are still my granddaughter!"
Xia Jin's eyes heated up and she nodded.
The old lady was the second person besides her master who made Xia Jin feel the warmth of family affection. Xia Jin would always remember this warmth.
After leaving the general's mansion, as soon as they reached the door, they saw Lin Ziyi coming back on horseback.
Seeing Xia Jin coming out, he got on his horse and walked over quickly, asking, "What did grandma say to you? Did she give you a hard time?"
Lin Ziyi thought that the old lady was angry with Xia Jin because Xia Jin helped him fake a pregnancy to prevaricate the prime minister's affairs.
Xia Jin shook his head and said, "The old lady is very nice and didn't make things difficult for me!"
Hearing this, Lin Ziyi felt relieved and said, "That's good!"
Xia Jin bowed her head slightly, turned around and took the carriage she came in to leave. She opened the curtain and looked at Lin Ziyi who walked into the general's mansion.
"Catch the train to Desheng Tower."
Not long after, the carriage stopped in front of the Desheng Tower. As soon as Xia Jin got off, Qin Haoou came to greet him.
"Master, you are finally back!"
Xia Jin walked in and went straight to the second floor. Qin Haoou followed closely behind, entered the private room and closed the door.
Xia Jin sat in front of the futon, poured herself a cup of fragrant tea, took a sip, and the aroma of tea filled her throat.
Qin Hao'ou sat opposite Xia Jin and said, "I heard some gossip from an acquaintance, saying that the murderer has been scheduled to be executed at the entrance of the vegetable market in three days. I originally wanted to tell the master, but he came here unexpectedly!"
"Three days later? Doesn't the emperor want to hand him over to the Dongmen family?" Xia Jin was confused.
"I heard that when the Dongmen family learned that they had found the murderer, they told the emperor to deal with him in accordance with the law, and the emperor ordered him to be executed." Qin Hao'ou touched his chin.
"Master, tell me, why did the Dongmen family suddenly stop accepting this murderer?"
Xia Jin put down her tea cup and frowned slightly, "They may know that Zhang Heng is just a scapegoat."
"That makes sense." Qin Hao'ou looked at Xia Jin.
"Master, what did your Xuerong City and his team gain?"
Xia Jin came here just for this matter.
"Little Douding, you are going to have a junior brother."
"Junior brother, where are you?" Qin Hao'ou stood up and glanced at the carriage downstairs. He only saw Siji and the accompanying servants, but no one else.
"I have arranged for him to live in Xia Zhai. Come to the Food God Hall tomorrow and introduce him to you." Xia Jin said mysteriously.
Qin Hao'ou started to look forward to it. After accepting his first apprentice, the master never thought of accepting a second apprentice. But now he made an exception and accepted a second apprentice. He must not be an ordinary person.
"Master, you came all the way here just to talk to me about this, right?" Qin Hao'ou asked.
Xia Jin leaned against the window with her chin propped up, glanced at the busy street below, and said calmly:
"Use your connections to help me investigate the relevant details of the battle at Beimen Pass, the death of Lieutenant Cavalry, and what Qu Linjie was doing at that time!"
If her calculations were correct, the time when Lin Ziyi and General Cavalry were besieged in the Battle of Beimen Pass was also the day when the original person was deceived by Qu Yunjie and abducted out of the palace.
Xia Jin feels that there may be a connection between the two!
Maybe we can find some clues and evidence from this to help Lin Ziyi find the real murderer, maybe!
Qin Hao'ou nodded, "Leave this matter to me. After running a restaurant for so many years, I'm still good at asking for some information!"
Qin Hao'ou's Desheng Tower is well-known in the capital, and Chef Qin is also well-known. He has a wide network of contacts, from courtiers in the court to businessmen, and even a few Jianghu sects, and he also knows local ruffians.
The leftovers from the daily meals were given to the beggars at the back door. Over time, those beggars also became his helpers in collecting evidence.
Qin Haoou initially established an intelligence network to make more money to repay his father's debt, but now it can finally be put to great use!
The next day, before dawn, Qin Haoou hurried to the Food God Hall. He only waited for the door to open and was the first to rush in. He went to the private room on the second floor and waited for Xia Jin to come.
After a short wait, Xia Jin arrived, followed by a handsome young man.
He has half-long brown hair, which is as thin and soft as rabbit fur. It is washed very clean and shines like silk in the sun.
He has thin cheeks and a snow-white complexion. He has big eyes and curled eyelashes. He looks like a woman. He is wearing a light blue gown. The narrow cuffs are tied tightly with cloth belts, revealing ridiculously white fingers. If it weren’t for his long
With his Adam's apple removed, Qin Haoou really didn't see that he was a man.
"He, who is he?" Qin Hao'ou pointed at Li Qiang. "My junior brother?" He looked confused.
Xia Jin was not surprised that Qin Haoou showed such an expression. In fact, Xia Jin was quite surprised as well.
When he was in Xuerong City, he was obviously a dark and earthy skinny boy, but when he came back and took a shower, he changed drastically!
He is still a black boy, but he is clearly a fresh young man, clean and beautiful. If he grows up, he will charm many women to death!
