Zhuang Guangji continued to eat quietly.

Xinghe talked a lot about what Balabala said. The wine I drank yesterday afternoon was particularly delicious, and the scenery was also beautiful. Last night, the moon was also very round and the stars were very bright.

Zhuang Guangji raised the corners of his mouth slightly as he listened to the broken thoughts in his ears.

Five days have passed, and tomorrow will be Zhuang Guangji's 20th birthday. The courtyard is very lively. Xinghe is in the kitchen discussing tomorrow's dishes with the cook, and eating pickled cucumber sticks while discussing.

Brother Li came in suddenly, whispered a few words into Butler Song's ear, and from time to time looked at Xinghe who frowned sourly while gnawing on cucumber sticks.

Steward Song nodded thoughtfully after listening.

Xinghe frowned after confirming that there would be [-] big dishes tomorrow, and asked the cook to make hot sauce dipping sauce. Just when he was about to ask Steward Song if he could prepare more wine tomorrow, he saw Steward Song hesitate to speak. .

He laughed and joked, "Uncle Song, what do you have in your mouth, it burns your mouth!".

Butler Song said with a smile; "It's really a bit hot."

Xinghe said with a smile; "Then Uncle Song said it, let's see how hot it is."

Butler Song said, "Your father really broke his leg this time."

The smile on Xinghe's face collapsed in an instant, and he said in surprise, "Really?".

Butler Song nodded and said, "Your stepmother is still waiting for you outside, Xiao Li also visited your house just now."

Xinghe hurriedly stuffed the pickled cucumber into his mouth, and then hurried out.

Seeing her in a hurry, Song Butler sighed, you idiot.

Zhuang Guangji nodded when he heard Steward Song's report, and wrote on the paper; silver.

It means to give her that little money and let her go back to see her father's doctor.

Butler Song nodded and said, "Yes, young master."

Zhuang Guangji wrote again; vacation.

It means to give her a few days off and let her go back to take care of her father.

Steward Song nodded again and said, "Yes, young master."

Zhuang Guangji wrote again; "Doctor".

It means to ask her to take the doctor back. This is the famous doctor they brought from the capital, and it is many times better than the doctor in the country.

Steward Song met a crying little girl with red eyes as soon as he left the house, and said, "The young master already knows that your father's leg is broken, so he asked you to take the doctor back to see your father. There is also 100 taels of silver here, you take it." As he spoke, he took out a 100 tael bank note from his sleeve.

Xinghe said gratefully; "Thank you young master, thank you Uncle Song".

Steward Song nodded and said, "Good boy, don't worry too much. This is a very good doctor from the capital. Many officials come to him for medical treatment. Your father's legs will definitely recover."

Xinghe wiped away his tears indiscriminately and said, "Then I'll go in first and thank you young master."

Butler Song smiled and said, "No need, the young master will definitely feel distressed when he sees you like this. Come back early when you're done with your work. We're still waiting for you here!".

Xinghe was so moved that he put his arms around Uncle Song and said, "Uncle, you are so kind, I will definitely come back early, and I want the young master to eat more, you know? The young master is too thin, so don't let him picky eaters, even if he doesn't like to eat You should also eat more meat, and the young master doesn't like to eat shiitake mushrooms, so don't do it anymore, and the young master likes to eat preserved eggs and lean meat, and doesn't like to drink plain porridge, and there are more."

Song Butler was very moved at this moment, patted her on the back and said, "I know, I know, you can go back without worry!".

Standing behind the door, Zhuang Guangji wanted to go out and have a look at her, but after hearing her talk so much, his heart suddenly softened. She is really a careful little girl, and she usually remembers her details clearly.

Steward Song sent Xinghe to the gate of the courtyard, Lang Zhong and Brother Li were already waiting for them at the gate of the courtyard.

Butler Song was worried about letting this little girl go back alone. Her house had something worse than evil spirits.

Standing at the gate of the compound, the stepmother was honest, she still had the usual arrogance and domineering appearance, but she said tremblingly, "Shuang'er, take them back, what are you doing?".

Xinghe lowered his head, and seemed to be still crying; "This is Doctor Wang who is very powerful. He came from the capital, and the young master specially asked him to show daddy's legs."

The stepmother's eyes lit up instantly, and she said, "Your young master is really kind to you, what about this one?".

Brother Li hurriedly replied; "Master, don't worry about Miss Shuang'er going back alone, let me take care of Miss Shuang'er."

Xinghe said gratefully; "Brother Li, thank you."

The flattering smile on the stepmother's face immediately withdrew, and she snorted disdainfully; "It's just a servant, have you brought the money this time?".

Just as Xinghe was about to take out the banknotes in his sleeve, Brother Li held her hand and said, "Miss Shuang'er only has five taels of silver every month, won't I give it to you after saving it for half a year? She still has money ".

The stepmother said unhappily; "I don't believe that I don't have any money for being so well dressed."

Li Ge said again; "It is natural to dress better to serve the young master, but all her clothes and jewelry are from the yard, and she will have to return them when she leaves."

The stepmother frowned and said, "Why is your young master so stingy?".

Xinghe said a little angrily; "Stepmother, how can you say that about the young master."

The stepmother snorted coldly; "Just said one thing, seeing how anxious your little hoof is, it is possible that you like your young master!".

Xinghe blushed, angry and annoyed, but in his heart he admired his acting skills very much, as expected of a woman who has won an actress!
Brother Li walked to the side of his stepmother, looked down at her and said, "If you dare to say something to the young master again, give it a try."

Brother Li is quite tall and strong, but he usually has a smile on his face, and looks harmless to humans and animals, so when his stepmother heard that he was just a servant, he didn't take him seriously. , but when he was threatened at this time, he became more sober, and immediately closed his mouth, but gave Xinghe a bitter look.

Xinghe; "...", it is really people walking on the road, and the pot comes from the sky.

But the stepmother got angrier the further she walked, and said in a pooh, "It's just a servant, why are you proud of me in front of me."

Most of the country people look down on servants, they can be killed by the master at will, they are different, although they have no money, their lives are still their own.

Xinghe could only say, "Stepmother, stop talking."

The stepmother snorted again and said, "It's really nothing to raise you so much, you know how to protect outsiders, why don't you have sex with him?" Before she could finish speaking, she heard Brother Li clenched her fist, so she instantly put The next words were swallowed.

Xinghe said apologetically, "Brother Li, my stepmother always speaks outspokenly, without any other meaning, so don't take it seriously."

Li Ge said with a smile; "Don't worry, I've always been very measured in doing things."

Xinghe suddenly remembered that he smashed the table with his palm, silently praised Butler Song in his heart, and arranged for him to come here, then secretly glanced at his stepmother, hoping that she would be "happy" during this time.

For the rest of the way, the stepmother cried poorly from time to time, obviously wanting Xinghe to give her some money, but Xinghe didn't accept this, and she didn't push too much, after all, she was still expected to take care of her father's food and drink during this time Sarah!
After walking for more than an hour, I finally arrived home. At this time, the sun was rising and it was so hot that several people were sweating.

After the stepmother got home, she gulped down a big mouthful of well water to recover, and then looked at Xinghe Road; "I'm starving to death, you damn girl doesn't bring anything to eat, you go to the kitchen to cook."

Xinghe sneered and said, "Let's go in first to see a doctor for Dad."

The stepmother snorted coldly; "I can't die anyway", then opened the door of the master bedroom, and a few people smelled urine and feces at the door.

Xinghe couldn't hold back, almost vomited out, and quickly covered his mouth.

The doctor is better, after all, he has practiced medicine for a long time.

Brother Li took a few steps back, his eyes full of disgust.

Feng He, who was lying on the bed, opened the door and saw his daughter disgusted and about to vomit, and immediately became angry and cursed; "I have worked so hard to raise you for so long, and you dare to dislike me, come in quickly and take out the urinal Go and wash it up."

Disgust flashed in Xinghe's eyes, but there were outsiders present at this time, and she had to play the role of White Lotus well, so she just entered the room.

Brother Li took out a piece of broken silver from his pocket with a smile, and threw it casually; "Miss Shuang'er, we are all thirsty, please pour us tea first!".

The stepmother looked at the broken silver in his hand, her eyes lit up instantly and she said, "Yes, Shuang'er, hurry up and pour tea for the two of them, you will be exhausted along the way!".

Xinghe didn't want to go in at first, but when he heard his voice, he stopped for a moment, and then apologized; "I forgot, there is no tea at home, and the well water is sweet and cold, if Brother Li and Doctor Wang don't mind , I'll get you some well water to eat."

Doctor Wang stroked his beard with a smile and said, "The well water is good."

Xinghe went to the kitchen and took three bowls out, and saw her stepmother carrying the urinal out of the yard, and the broken money in Brother Li's hand was gone, and she immediately understood that her stepmother was a money-seeker.

The well water was very sweet, and the three of them drank two bowls to feel better.

Xinghe smiled and said, "Doctor Wang, Brother Li, please sit here and rest for a while. I will go in and clean up my father's room. Doctor Wang, you can go in and help my father take a look."

Dr. Wang stroked his beard and said in approval; "Yeah."

Brother Li said with a smile: "We are all hungry, you go to cook, and the room will be cleaned up." After speaking, he looked at the stepmother who came back happily with a clean chamber pot.

Xinghe smiled instantly, his eyebrows curved; "Okay, I'll go to the kitchen to cook, we're all hungry along the way", and went to the kitchen after saying that.

The stepmother took a tael of silver and was very motivated to clean the room. She even changed the quilt to a new one, and gave Feng He a bath who hadn't bathed for four or five days.

There was very little food in the kitchen, and Xinghe was embarrassed to entertain them with these things. He went to the village house to buy bacon and some side dishes, including rice, oil, salt, and a few sets of clean bowls.

Her culinary skills are naturally not covered, as long as the seasoning is enough, she can cook a full banquet.

I ate at the table in the yard at noon, and there happened to be a big tree that could block the sun, otherwise the room would be too stuffy and the smell would be too strong.

Brother Li carried Feng He out after taking a shower, and they sat at the table to eat together.

Doctor Wang had seen her younger brother stuffing pastries last time, and today he finally found out who he learned from. His parents' eating images were even more exaggerated than his.

A little bit of meat was stuffed into his mouth, he smacked his mouth, and spit out foam as he spoke, while a pair of chopsticks were still stirring the dish.

Anyway, the three of them ate the first few chopsticks, and the back didn't move at all.

After dinner, Xinghe went to the kitchen to wash the dishes, Dr. Wang showed Feng He's legs, and Brother Li wandered around in the yard. After searching for a long time, he couldn't find her room, so he went to the kitchen and asked, "Little girl, where do you live? I'll bring you some bedding and food later."

Xinghe said with some embarrassment; "No need, Brother Li".

When Brother Li saw her like this, he knew that she must be hiding something from him, and said with a smile; "You and I are so polite, I have always treated you as my own sister, and Steward Song also specifically confessed that he will take good care of you. How can I have a good business relationship when I go back?".

Only then did Xinghe look back at him, begging a little: "Then you must not tell Uncle Song."

Brother Li patted his chest and said, "Don't worry."

Xinghe pointed to the pile of firewood next to him and said, "I used to sleep here."

The smile on Li Ge's face froze, staring at the messy branches in the corner, he finally understood that she always appeared by the river at night before, and stayed all night.

Brother Li sighed and said, "How can you sleep here as a girl? I saw a room next to it for storing groceries. I'll go and tidy it up for you to live in."

Xinghe said with some embarrassment; "Then trouble Brother Li, you must not tell Uncle Song."

Brother Li forced a smile and said, "Don't worry, I won't."

Not a ghost, I cleaned up the grocery room, which is the firewood room where Xinghe slept before, and then took Dr. Wang back after seeing his illness.

Brother Li's feet are very fast, and after an hour, he brought seven or eight boys over, some carrying beds, some carrying cabinets, tables, and so on.

But unfortunately, he happened to see his stepmother slapping Xinghe's face, and blood overflowed from the corner of Xinghe's mouth in an instant.

Brother Li shouted angrily; "What are you doing?".

The stepmother was taken aback, and then saw so many people appearing at the gate of the courtyard, isn't he leaving?Why are you back again?

Xinghe hurriedly covered his slapped face, and said with a slight smile; "Brother Li, it's okay, I've worked hard for you all the way, I'll pour water for you", and then trotted to the kitchen and closed the door.

The servants who took the initiative to move things here this time are all people who have a good relationship with Xinghe. She is the only girl in the whole yard. She is cute and has a pleasant personality. No one dislikes her, and everyone holds her in their hands. Yes, but I saw the little girl being bullied with my own eyes.

So Brother Li and another servant went straight forward and dragged the stepmother into the room and closed the door.

Xinghe estimated the time before going out, and fetched well water for them, then Brother Li took out the medicine and told her how to make the medicine and precautions, and finally looked at her a little embarrassed, hesitating to speak.

Xinghe was curious about what other plans he had, so he asked cooperatively, "Brother Li, what's wrong with you?".

Brother Li rubbed his hands and said, "Little girl, my sister is getting married, and she said that the dowry is still short of money."

Hearing this, Xinghe was overjoyed, held back his laughter, and hurriedly handed him the 100 taels of silver in his pocket and said, "It happens that I have silver here, so you can take it to your sister as a lucky draw."

Brother Li said on the face; "That's so embarrassing", but the speed of cash collection is accelerated by thieves.

The servants next to him all lowered their heads, their shoulders trembled, it seemed that it was very hard to hold back their laughter.

Xinghe still remembers that he said before that he was just an older sister, a younger sister who came here suddenly, but she is not afraid of him embezzling her money, usually he is very generous to herself, spending a lot of snacks and gadgets, probably because she didn’t want to Let your money be taken away by your stepmother.

Brother Li stuffed the silver ticket into his sleeve casually, and then took some small pieces of silver and said; "You have been fattened by us after all, and you are usually reluctant to do heavy work for you. If there is anything for your stepmother to do, she has money. I am willing to do anything, tell me what is missing, and I will bring it to you when I come tomorrow."

Xinghe also took the broken silver without politeness, and said with a smile; "Brother Li, thank you."

After chatting for a while, Brother Li and the others went back. The arrival of the big and small bags naturally attracted many onlookers in the village, but they didn't dare to go in. They just watched secretly at the gate of the courtyard. This little girl met someone Master of money, look at how happy you are now.

Xinghe just went back to his room at this time, seeing the new look inside, bed, table, cabinet, chairs, everything is available, but because the room is very small, it is full of places, but it is unusually warm.

The bronze mirror for make-up, and the jewelry box underneath were full. When I opened the closet, there were also her clothes inside, and there were a lot of new summer clothes. There was a vase on the desk with a few flowers in it.

There is also a large food box, which is full of snacks and snacks that she usually likes to eat.

The door was replaced with a new one for her, and there was a lock, how worried this family was.

Now that they are all gone, Xinghe naturally doesn't have to pretend to be outside. There is no rush to make medicine, and we can talk about it when he wakes up.

Hearing a rapid knock on the door in the middle of sleep, Xinghe got up, put on his coat, opened it slowly, then closed the door casually, and then locked it directly.

The stepmother scolded angrily; "Xiao Nizi, why can't I go in your room?".

Xinghe replied lightly; "I'm going to make medicine for my father", and then went to the kitchen to make medicine.

The stepmother pushed the door, but it couldn't be opened, and wanted to look in from the window, but they also pressed the crooked window again, and now they couldn't see a crack, so there must be something valuable hidden inside. , I must find a chance to go in and have a look.

Boiling medicine is very boring, it will take more than two hours, Xinghe yawns while putting firewood into the stove, and must spit in it when it is done.
