The widowed sister-in-law is embarrassed, she criticizes the villain like he only wants to be a love

Yan Shu, accompanied by Ren Yazi, went to look at two houses.

The distance between the two suites is not too far. They are both standard triple rooms with a small courtyard, and are independent households.

One of them is deep in the alley, relatively secluded, and the other is not far from the street where goods are sold.

Yan Shu did not hesitate to choose the first apartment. The rent was 340 Wen per month. Yan Shu discussed the price, and Renyazi finally gave the lowest price of [-] Wen.

Yan Shu was quite satisfied with the price, so he paid three months' rent and a hundred cash deposit on the spot, spending a total of one tael of silver to rent it.

After sending Ren Yazi away, Yan Shu lowered the door of the courtyard door.

He took out a broom, bucket, and rag from the space and simply cleaned up the main room.

A layer of straw mat was spread on the ground, and the prepared [-] kilograms of grain were moved out with his mind.

By the time she finished her work, it was almost noon. Thinking that Jiang Ci was still waiting for her at the grain store, she hurriedly left the courtyard.

On the way back, Yan Shu saw a bun seller on the roadside, so he walked over and asked about the price.

The boss said: "The meat buns cost two cents each, and the vegetarian buns cost one cent each. How many do you want?"

"Bring me five meat buns."

"okay!"

The boss neatly wrapped the five meat buns in yellow paper and handed them over. Yan Shu paid ten cents, held the hot buns in both hands, and rushed towards the food store.

When she rushed back, Jiang Ci was sitting on the bullock cart waiting for her.

Seeing that there was nothing on the carriage, Yan Shu knew that Jiang Ci had not bought any food.

"Uncle, there is no food in the food store here?"

"Not long after you left, the food here was sold out. How is the situation over there, sister-in-law?"

Jiang Ci didn't ask her why she had been there for so long. When she said she was going to check out other grain stores, he guessed that she was a drunkard who didn't care about drinking.

"The other two shops are also full of people. I heard that the Marquis of Zhenbei suffered a defeat. I am afraid that the Rong Di army will come over soon. After the nearby villagers got the news, they all came to collect food."

Jiang Ci looked gloomy. The food harvest had stopped and the Rong and Di invaded. This was already the beginning of chaos.

The Marquis of Zhenbei was brave, good at fighting, brave and resourceful, and could be said to be the leader among the military generals of the Sui Dynasty today. During the ten years he guarded Northern Xinjiang, Rong Di never dared to cross the border even half a step.

It happened that at this time, Zhenbei Hou suffered a defeat. There seemed to be a pair of invisible hands behind this that was pushing everything to happen. Who was this person?

"Uncle, food will be harder to buy tomorrow. I want to stay in town tonight. What do you think?"

"I'll accompany my sister-in-law."

In this situation, it is indeed necessary to stock up on food in advance.

Yan Shu shook his head: "We promised Aunt Cao that we would return her ox cart in the evening. As the saying goes, it's not difficult to borrow it again. We have to keep our word."

The main reason is that if you stay, it will be difficult for me to get out of the meeting with the shopkeeper of Wangyue Tower tomorrow morning.

Jiang Ci stared at Yan Shu silently for a while.

"Where are you planning to stay tonight, sister-in-law?"

Yan Shu pointed to the two-story building not far away.

"I heard that the Xiangfengju next door is pretty good, so I'll live there."

Jiang Ci looked at her with an unchanging expression: "It seems that sister-in-law has already thought about it. In that case, just listen to sister-in-law. I will return the ox cart when I go back and pick you up tomorrow."

Yan Shu smiled with satisfaction.

"Okay. I bought some meat buns. Let me try some."

Yan Shu opened the bamboo tube he brought, and the two of them simply washed their hands and each took a meat bun and ate it.

Jiang Ci glanced at the woman beside him with a faint expression.

He was curious, what on earth was this little fox going to do tonight?

After eating the steamed buns, Yan Shu opened the lid of the bamboo tube, raised his head and took a sip of the cold and sweet Lingquan water. The boring and hot feeling suddenly eased a lot.

She handed another bamboo tube to Jiang Ci.

"Uncle, drink some water."

"Thank you sister-in-law."

Jiang Ci took the bamboo tube, took off the lid and took a sip, looking slightly startled.

This water tastes the same as the bowl of water she drank at Yan's house before. She once explained that it was spring water from the mountain. Where did this water come from?

Jiang Ci pretended not to know anything, drank half of the bamboo tube of spiritual spring water, and hung the remaining half of the tube around his waist.

"Sister-in-law, let me take you to the inn first."

Yan Shu wiped the sweat from his forehead. It was noon, and it was almost forty degrees outside. He felt the wind blowing on his body was burning.

"Alright."

Jiang Ci drove Yan Shu to Xianfengju in an ox cart.

When the waiter saw the guests coming, he greeted them warmly.

"Do you two want to stay at the top or stay in the hotel?"

Jiang Cidao: "Second brother, are you ready to go to bed?"

"Yes, Mr. Madam, please come here."

The second brother misunderstood their relationship, and Yan Shu was a little embarrassed and wanted to explain.

However, Jiang Ci next to him spoke first.

"My wife Xi Jing, how is the soundproofing of this room?"

"Don't worry, the soundproofing in the upper room is very good. Even if the next door is noisy, you won't hear anything here."

Jiang Ci felt relieved and didn't ask any more questions.

The two came to the room and took a look. It was quite clean and tidy overall.

After the waiter made an introduction, he said the price: "This room costs two hundred yuan a night. Is the young master and his wife satisfied with it?"

Jiang Ci took out a small piece of silver, and the waiter happily accepted it.

"I'll ask you for the money later. If you two need anything, please ask the younger one at any time. The younger one will leave first."

After the waiter left, Jiang Ci turned around and looked at Yan Shu.

"There are a lot of guests coming and going in the inn. It's not safe for a young woman to live here alone. What I just said is just a temporary measure. I hope my sister-in-law won't be surprised."

Yan Shu had already guessed Jiang Ci's intention, so naturally he didn't think much about it.

"Uncle, you are thinking about my safety. I should be grateful to you."

"It's getting late. Sister-in-law, try not to go out at night. I will ask the waiter to bring dinner in."

"it is good."

After Yan Shu sent Jiang Ci away, he locked the door and turned around and entered the space.

It was still early and she planned to continue harvesting corn in the fields.

-

Jiang Ci did not go back immediately after leaving the inn, but turned around and went to Jishi Hall.

Doctor Lin was surprised to see Jiang Ci.

"I just had a follow-up visit two days ago. Why are you here again? But you're not feeling well?"

Jiang Ci shook his head and took off the bamboo tube from his waist.

"Help me check the water in this bamboo tube."

Doctor Lin glanced at him suspiciously, reached out to take the bamboo tube, opened the lid and smelled it.

"There's nothing wrong with it, it's just ordinary water."

Jiang Ci picked up a tea bowl from the table, poured the water from the bamboo tube into the tea bowl and handed it to Dr. Lin.

"Drink."

Doctor Lin followed his instructions, took the tea bowl and took a sip, his expression slightly paused.

He drank a few more sips. After the cool liquid entered his body along his throat, it seemed that the blood in his body was flowing smoothly, and an inexplicable light and refreshing feeling spread throughout his limbs.

"This water is really different. It seems to relieve people's fatigue after drinking it. I am sure that nothing has been added to this water. Where did you get it from?"

Jiang Ci had already gotten the answer he wanted.

If nothing has been added to the water, then the problem lies in the water itself.

"I got it accidentally. The other person said it was water emerging from a spring in a deep mountain. Which mountain it was specifically, the person refused to say more."

Jiang Ci's words directly cut off Dr. Lin's eagerness to find the spring.

This matter is no small matter. For the safety of the little fox, this water cannot be easily shown to others in the future.
