"She pounced on you first. Aren't women the most soft-hearted? Why didn't you come to rescue me?" Mr. Shen asked back.
After the two were silent for a moment, they saw what the other was thinking from the smiles in each other's eyes.
Although there is a big age difference, at this moment, we feel a bit like we have been together for a long time. It has nothing to do with identity, gender, etc., it is simply a similar attitude towards things.
They all knew the plans of the Juhua family, but good intentions did not mean there was no bottom line, and they would not be taken advantage of. Zhao Xun suddenly felt that not everyone in ancient times was old-fashioned, and one could still make a few friends.
Of course, remuneration is not within the scope of friendship. Talking about feelings hurts money.
"Old Shen is going to leave tomorrow. I came here specially to give him a peace charm. You can just carry it with you. Burn it with your own hands in a year and then come to me to get a new one. In addition, this bottle contains a secret from my master.
Secret, Mr. Shen takes some water and drinks it at noon every day."
"Don't ask why. If you ask, please forgive Zhao Xin for replying, 'You can't say'. The results will be seen in three months."
Handing a bottle of ground vitamins and heart-nourishing medicine to Mr. Shen, Zhao Yan could only do so much, and she had to use a nagging way. In her heart, she despised her good doctor for not doing it, and had to be a goddess.
.
But the ancients believed in ghosts and gods more than medicine and stone, and Zhao Xin was helpless.
"That being the case, I won't ask any more questions. I just have one more request. I would like to ask Mrs. Zhao to go to the county town together to read the divination for my incompetent juniors, so that I can have a clear idea."
After Mr. Shen made his request, he immediately promised: "No matter what the outcome is, I will not treat Mrs. Zhao badly."
These straightforward words made Zhao Xing a little embarrassed. As expected, he couldn't be emotionally involved with his guests. Even if it was friendship, it was difficult to negotiate the price.
"Old Shen, you're being polite. Let's go home and settle down first. There are so many children in the house that it's hard to make people feel at ease." Zhao Yan stood up and said.
Mr. Shen motioned to the boy to see Zhao Xun off, got up and walked towards the thatched house, his back still hunched but less like a broken candle.
Hearing that Zhao Xing was going to the county town, Lin Yining wished he could carry her away and be taken away. Although Gou Sheng and Lin Yiqing were not like this, their eyes were full of reluctance and even uneasiness.
"I went to the county town this time to treat illnesses and save people, and also to do business. You guys should be good at home. Zhou Yang and the others will take turns to come over to accompany you. You also have to be more careful when purchasing medicinal materials. That will be a stable income for our family.
.”
"When I come back, I will buy you some enlightenment books. If there are any delicious and interesting ones, I will bring them back to you as rewards." Zhao Xun rubbed Lin Yining's head and looked at the three little ones and warned.
One of the purposes of going to the county town this time was to see Li Yunjuan in trouble, and the other was that the issue of custody of the children had to go through the government, so Zhao Xing couldn't take them there.
Children can be allowed to participate in the adult world, but some things are better not to be witnessed with their own eyes.
After comforting the three little ones, Zhao Xing went to Zhou's house again, asking them to help take care of the three little ones and the family. On the one hand, they also had to arrange the stalls of Zhou Yang and Zhou Huo. Zhao Xing would not keep an eye on this small business in person.
Just give them some basic skills and let them practice.
The next day, Zhao Xun followed Mr. Shen and left. When passing through the town, Mr. Shen tried to persuade him to stay, but Mr. Shen cared about his descendants and refused to delay.
The town is not far from the county seat. It can be reached in one day by horse carriage at the fastest speed. Old Shen’s Shen Mansion is much larger than that of Mr. Shen’s family. There are dozens of servants in the house where the senior three enters.
The number has a bit more of the elegance of a Jiangnan water town, and it should be the pattern arranged by a woman.
"Mrs. Zhao, the women's prison has been taken care of. Do you want to come over?" Mrs. Hua is the housekeeper of the guest house, and Zhao Xin is an honored guest, so she naturally takes care of her.
"I'm sorry to bother you, sister. I'd like to invite you to tea." Zhao Xing rewarded her with two silver coins, pushed a new cup of tea over, and made an invitation gesture to Mrs. Hua. After she sat down, she said: "
Old sister should know that I was invited by Mr. Shen because I am good at reading faces. Do you want to see it?"
"Seriously?" Mrs. Hua stood up in surprise, and then sat down again. This time she only sat in the corner, "Madam is the only master whom I can trust. Please give me some advice."
.”
"It's easy to say, it was my sister and I who fell in love." Zhao Xin smiled lightly and took Mrs. Hua's hand in his hand to look at her, and then he sensed her fortune.
Sure enough, people with ordinary luck must be in close contact to feel something.
Unless the person's fortune fluctuates greatly, or the person is unfriendly to Zhao Xin, one can feel the other person's fortune without contact, and Zhao Xin finally has some understanding.
"My old sister has a worry-free life, no three disasters or six disasters. She is a blessed and long-lived person. Moreover, the fortunes of her children and grandchildren seem to be extremely stable at present, and there are no villains."
Zhao Xing made some comments, then took out a 'Peace Talisman' written at home and handed it over. He smiled and said: "This Peace Talisman is given to a destined person, and only the fate of the child cannot be spied on. The old sister will take it back and give it to the family."
The addition of new people should be my gratitude to my elder sister for taking care of her."
Mrs. Hua stood up excitedly and wiped her hands on her clothes several times before taking the peace charm.
Being able to be the steward of the guest house, Mrs. Hua is a good person. She said in a low voice: "Thank you, Mrs. Zhao, for the peace talisman. I will not shirk your orders!"
"There is indeed something..." Zhao Xing said something in a low voice. Seeing Mrs. Hua's expression of understanding, she stuffed a piece of silver in her hand and asked her to take it away.
As soon as Mrs. Hua left, someone came to invite Zhao Xin to the main hall.
One day after coming to the county town, Zhao Xin saw the sons of the Shen family for the first time. They were all handsome and had the temperament of a young master.
only……
Zhao Xun shook his head, said hello to Mr. Shen, and sat down naturally at the other party's signal, without even looking at the young masters of the Shen family.
"Old man, you think you have too much money, don't you? If you have money, you can give it to our brother, why bother throwing money into the hands of these liars!" The young master of the Shen family, who was sitting at the end, glanced at Zhao Xin with disdain.
.
If he wasn't afraid of being driven out of the house by the old man, he would probably beat Zhao Xin out.
"Presumptuous! Is this how your father taught you how to treat guests?" Old Shen coughed angrily. He had just regained his health and was almost overcome by his younger son's anger.
"Brother, please don't be rude." The person who spoke was the eldest young master of the Shen family. He was sitting across from Zhao Xin. He looked gentle but his eyes were sharp. He looked at Zhao Xin in a somewhat condescending manner and asked, "Since you want to make Shen money?"
If you don’t have enough money, then show your ability, otherwise I will have no choice but to ask someone to take you out."
Seeing that Mr. Shen was about to get angry, Zhao Xin said with a half-smile but not a smile: "You are young, the young master of the Shen family is blind, and you haven't learned how to write the word filial piety?"
"You goddess, who gave you the courage to speak against us?" Young Master Shen said angrily: "Someone, beat this bitch out of here for pretending to be a ghost, and beat her hard!"
