After being a widow for half my life, I found out that my husband was not dead.

From here you can see the incense of Fahua Temple in the distance, so it is a good cemetery.

Compared to the beggar, Zhou Lihuai and Zhu Qingjia were closer to Wei Shuyi. After all, they had grown up together since childhood. It's just that Wei Shuyi is ruthless and only sees power, so he may not treat them as brothers.

Among the seven brothers, there was this mysterious fourth brother, and Shen Yunzhou. He is able to play both sides between Shangguan Xu and Yan Mu. He is a smart man.

As the New Year approaches, the house becomes lively.

Liu Yunxiang's injuries were almost healed, so early that morning she took Zijin to Lingyun Grain Shop. The shopkeeper below, the guys have been working hard for a year, and she asked Zhang Qi to prepare some new year goods for everyone to distribute.

"In addition to the New Year's goods, each person will receive an extra month's wages." Liu Yunxiang said happily.

A few days ago, Zhang Qi gave her a thick stack of account books. She didn't read them carefully. She only looked at the final surplus. She counted the long series of numbers several times before she could count them all.

Zhang Qi was also happy, "My boss treated us well, we have all taken it to heart, and we will do our best in the future."

"By the way, how is the situation at Jiangnan Brocade Square?"

"The people in the Shannian camp have been settled. After assigning them to work, experienced workers will teach them first. The work has not officially started yet, and I guess it will have to wait until spring."

"No rush, just take your time."

"Yangzhou's brocade industry has been hit hard. Many workshop owners have too many concerns and are unwilling to take risks. However, our Jiangnan Brocade Workshop alone cannot sustain this industry."

Liu Yunxiang thought for a moment and said, "Let's wait until spring. The order from West Vietnam comes in. It will be much easier to talk to them with the order."

"I think so too."

Liu Yunxiang gave Zhang Qi a few more words. Before leaving, she thought of Li Zhu and stopped Zhang Qi to ask.

"He used to be a clerk in the shop below. He worked hard and was highly valued by the shopkeeper. At that time, you were looking for someone who was literate, willing to learn medical skills, and good at kung fu. The shopkeeper recommended him, and I called him over. It looked like he was smart, so I asked him and he was willing, so he sent it to Dr. Qu."

"Do you know his details?"

"After asking, his family is located in a village called Lijiacun, ten miles outside the city. His parents died early and there are no other relatives in the family. He grew up eating the food of hundreds of families. There is absolutely no problem with his identity."

She felt relieved that Zhang Qi was doing things, so there seemed to be nothing to doubt about Zhang Qi.

"My boss, is there something wrong with this person?"

Liu Yunxiang shook his head, "Nothing, I just asked casually."

After coming out of the grain store, Liu Yunxiang thought about it and went to Qu Moran's place.

Because the Chinese New Year is coming soon, every household in the alley is sweeping, which looks very lively. When she came to the medicine hall, the door was closed. She entered through the courtyard door on one side and saw Qu Moran sitting in the courtyard, doing needlework, while Li Zhu was cleaning up the yard, putting the debris in the corner, and then Sweep the floor clean. Although the two did not speak, they had a feeling of peace and quiet.

Liu Yunxiang stood at the entrance of the courtyard, his brows wrinkled unconsciously.

At this time, Qu Yi helped Qu Xing out. The old man had been confused all day and was currently arguing about eating sweets.

"You can't eat it. The few remaining teeth you have are all sticky." Qu Yi said like a young adult.

Qu Xing couldn't understand and just muttered: "The candy is gone, it's gone."

Qu Yi asked the old man to sit on the steps in front of the house to bask in the sun, then ran to help Li Zhu clean up, "Brother Zhu, what should we eat for lunch?"

Li Zhu smiled, "What do you want to eat?"

"The fried chicken you made is delicious."

"Okay, let's make fried chicken."

Qu Moran sewed the buttons and called Qu Yi to him. He unfolded his new clothes and gestured, "It should be suitable. You can take it back to your room and wear it again early in the morning."

"Wow, I have new clothes!" Qu Yi happily ran into the house holding the clothes.

Qu Moran took out another piece and continued sewing buttons. Then he turned around and saw Liu Yunxiang, his eyes lit up, "I didn't even notice you, why didn't you come in?"

Liu Yunxiang walked over with a smile, "I'm afraid of disturbing you."

"What's the trouble? Come and sit."

Liu Yunxiang sat down next to Qu Moran and saw that the clothes in her hand were royal blue. He knew at a glance that they were for Li Zhu. She couldn't help but glance at Li Zhu. That day on the cliff, she was holding on to the vine and calling him for help, but in the end, he didn't go to save her.

Zi Jin said that Li Zhu was very skilled in martial arts and could not even defeat her. How could such a powerful person not be able to deal with a small bodyguard and unable to get away to save her?

But based on this speculation alone, it seems a little untenable.

At this time, Li Zhu took down the herbs and baskets that were drying on the wall, but his hand was unsteady and the herbs and baskets fell to the ground.

Qu Moran said hurriedly: "You have a broken wrist. You are not yet good at handling and can't do heavy work. Put it down quickly. I will take care of it later."

Li Zhu smiled and said, "It's okay, I'm paying attention."

He squatted down to pick up medicinal materials, and Qu Yi ran out of the house to help.

Liu Yunxiang saw that Li Zhu's right wrist was really not very sharp, so he asked Qu Moran what was going on?

"That day on the cliff, he was attacked by Murong Lingyi's guards and injured his wrist. It's getting better these days. He had trouble holding chopsticks before."

Liu Yunxiangmo, so he couldn't save her in time that day because his wrist was injured?

When returning home, Liu Yunxiang got off the carriage on the street. She took Zijin shopping and bought a lot of new year's goods. As they approached the door of their home, a young man trotted past them.

"Ah, why does it smell so bad!" Zijin quickly covered his nose.

Liu Yunxiang also smelled it, covered his mouth and nose with a handkerchief, and then looked at the young man in front of him. The young man was wearing a shabby coat. He was tall and thin, like a bamboo pole. He was carrying a wooden bucket in his hand, and the stench came from there.

"What does he want to do?" Zi Jin asked.

Liu Yunxiang saw that the young man was running very fast and ran towards the door of the palace. Before she could react, the young man lifted the bucket and threw the contents towards the door.

"..."

Zi Jin was dumbfounded for a moment, "He..."

When Liu Yunxiang saw the young man throw away the poke and run into the alley ahead, she hurriedly said: "Zijin, hurry up and chase him!"

Zijin reacted, quickly put the things in his hands on the ground, and then chased forward. The people in the mansion also chased after him, banging more than a dozen of them.

Liu Yunxiang walked towards the door. He could smell the stench from more than ten steps away. It goes without saying what was in the bucket.

The housekeeper and others were also smoked and retreated continuously. It was almost the New Year, the door had just been repainted, and the floor had just been painted. Now...

"Why are you still standing there? Hurry up and get water to wash away this dirty thing!" The housekeeper shouted to the people with a dark face.

"The Chinese New Year is coming soon, how unlucky it is!"
