Crossing the Qinghe Landlord gl

Since Zhang He collected the potatoes and put them at home, Xia Jiniang used the most common methods of steaming, frying, boiling, frying, frying, etc. to make new dishes in various ways. Zhang He and Zhang Xian had a great time eating them.

Zhang He also sent some to Aunt Li's family, and told him that they should not be eaten after they turned green and sprouted.On the contrary, Li Qingshi memorized the planting method that Zhang He had told him before. After the potatoes germinated, they were divided into pieces, and then a few were planted in his own vegetable garden.

Xia Jiniang didn't forget Liu's, so she said to Zhang He: "The last time my aunt and sister-in-law asked how the potatoes were, let's give them some to try something new, shall we?"

Zhang He had no reason to object, so he found a sunny day and prepared some potatoes and white-skinned eggplants with Xia Jiniang and sent them to Zhang's house in Fuzhou City.

Now they went to the Zhang family's mansion without the concierge's notification, and went in directly, but they still went to report to Liu Shi when they saw their servants.

Mrs. Liu is strolling in the garden, Mrs. Xiao Liu is beside her chatting with her, but she feels bored in her heart.Suddenly hearing that Xia Jiniang was coming, Xiao Liu immediately said happily, "Auntie, the second sister-in-law is here, I'll go and entertain her."

Xiao Liu ran away like a gust of wind, and Liu's maid smiled and said, "The relationship between Da Niang and Er Niang is getting better and better."

Liu Shi had already seen through her, shook her head and said: "She just feels bored with me and wants to find an excuse to leave."

The maid was slightly surprised: "Why?"

Liu didn't explain much, and said: "Let the donkey brother and the bride come here!"

The maid retreated, and Liu Shi went to the gazebo, picked up the feed on the table and threw some into the pool next to it.Suddenly, the calm water surface suddenly fluctuated, and gradually many fish gathered to come out of the water and compete for food.

Mrs. Liu stared at the water for a while, and heard the sound of footsteps coming from far to near. Then she turned around slowly and saw Zhang He and Xia Jiniang walking towards under the veranda, but Mrs. Liu was nowhere to be seen.

The maid said: "Mistress, Mr. Erlang and Erniang are here."

"Mother, Auntie, good luck." Zhang He and Xia Jiniang said in unison.

"Well, sit down!" Mrs. Liu put down the feed and wiped her hands with a towel, "Where's Ah Zhao?"

"The lady of the Chen family and the lady of the Zhao family came to look for the aunt, and the aunt went back to the courtyard to entertain them."

After hearing the words, Mrs. Liu no longer cared about Mrs. Xiao Liu, her eyes flicked around Zhang He: "Today is not a big day, why did you come here?" In her impression, Zhang He would not come to the house unless necessary. of.

Zhang He looked away in embarrassment, and Xia Jiniang said politely: "The taro that Erlang brought home for trial planting has finally grown. She wanted to let Auntie have a look, so she brought some over. There are also some Freshly picked silver eggplants at home."

"You guys are interested." Liu Shi said, "Let me see what that taro looks like?"

The maid asked the servant to bring two potatoes, and Liu's always dignified and noble face couldn't help showing a puzzled expression. She weighed them and said, "It's much bigger than the egg size you said at the beginning!"

"Yes, I named it 'Potato'." Zhang He couldn't help grinning.

"Have you ever seen it?" Liu Shi asked the maid, who shook her head suspiciously.Only then did Liu say, "It's really a rare thing that I've never seen before. How did you grow it?"

Zhang He took out some basic planting instructions that she had prepared. Of course, she didn't explain the habit of potatoes like cooling. After all, she only planted it once and could write down its habits, which would always arouse suspicion.

Liu Shi listened to her while reading what was written on the paper. Although the maid was curious about this novel crop, she had never planted it before, and she was not very interested in it.She was confused when she heard it, but Liu waited for Zhang He to finish speaking, and then said: "You have said so in detail, and you have prepared so well, do you want us to plant it too?"

Zhang He was terrified, could it be that Liu Shi really had the ability to read minds, otherwise how would he know that she did have such a purpose?

"It can be planted or eaten." Zhang He said politely.

Mrs. Liu asked the maid to take down the potatoes, and said, "Bake it tonight and try it."

Not long after, Mrs. Xiao Liu came over, bowed to Mrs. Liu, and said to Xia Jiniang: "It's just right that the second sister-in-law has not left, and Mrs. Chen and Mrs. Zhao also want to see you. You follow me, I will Let me introduce you!"

When Zhang He and Xia Jiniang came, Xiao Liu took them to talk for a while, and when she heard that Mrs. Chen and Mrs. Zhao had arrived, she immediately left them alone.Now that she came to look for Xia Jiniang, it must be the ladies of those two families who heard about her existence, so they instigated Xiaoliu to come.

Except for the Liu family and the Xiao Liu family, Xia Jiniang has never been involved in this level of interpersonal communication, and she always feels that she will be a little cramped.But it was not good to reject Xiaoliu categorically, so he hesitated.

Seeing Xiao Liu's temper, Zhang He knows the character of the women she associates with. One Xiao Liu is enough to make people overwhelmed, but three Xiao Liu's have a good temper and a tolerant heart to get along with them Woolen cloth?

"Sister-in-law, no, we still have something to do, so we should leave now." Zhang He said hastily.

"If you have something to do, you can do it. Second sister-in-law probably doesn't need to run with you!" Xiao Liu said.

"..." Zhang He thought to himself, why didn't Mrs. Liu restrain her niece?

"There are some things that Erlang can't handle without me, so it's more convenient for me to follow." Xia Jiniang smiled slightly.

Zhang He nodded.

Xiaoliu said "Oh", and said: "That's true, second uncle is also from the Zhang family and can't do a lot of rough work, so I can help with it with you."

Mrs. Liu finally couldn't stand it anymore, and glanced at them: "Since there is something to do, let's do it! Today you specially sent silver eggplants and taro seeds here, and you have intentions."

Only then did Zhang He and Xia Jiniang take their leave.They went out from the side door and took their donkey cart out of the stable.Suddenly, I heard a rough voice from outside the stable saying, "I only have two legs, and one of them is broken. Let me see how many times you can break it? Kill me if you have the ability!"

"What exactly do you want?" Another voice suppressed its anger and asked in a deep voice.

"I can't find a job recently, and I'm starving to death. I don't want much, just twenty pennies!"

"Three months ago, you also asked for 25 pennies. I have been here for a year to see the door, and it was only [-] pennies. You just asked for [-] pennies!"

Zhang He wondered why the voice felt familiar. It turned out to be the voice of the Zhang family's concierge. As for the owner of the other voice, a fragment seemed to flash in her mind, but she couldn't remember it.

"Hey, twenty pennies is not much. Your uncle's uncle has been promoted, isn't there a small number of people who come to visit and make friends today? Are there few gifts from them?"

The concierge sneered and said, "The news is quite well-informed!"

"I've been wandering around the market, what news don't I know?"

"Then you should know that it's easy for the Zhang family to kill you."

The man was not afraid at all, but even more proud: "If you dare to kill me, aren't you afraid that others will take a copy of your Zhang family?"

Only now did the concierge know where his arrogant capital came from. Indeed, Zhang Tingxuan was promoted, and if someone died in the Zhang family, he would be punished even if he was as humble as a servant.It is also possible for the censor to take the opportunity to participate in Zhang Tingxuan's book, and then Zhang Tingxuan will be charged with conniving the family's children to run rampant in the countryside.

But the concierge obviously has a way to deal with it, he said: "You are well-informed, but don't think that our Zhang family is easy to provoke. Your eldest son is studying in Tingshan Academy, and he plans to pass the exam this year, right? There is also a daughter, It seems to be..."

The man seemed to have been caught by the lifeline, and he didn't speak for a while.After a long time, he calmed down his anger and said: "Ten pennies, not a penny less."

Suddenly, the black donkey let out a cry, and Zhang He withdrew his gossip, letting Xia Jiniang get on the donkey cart.The gatekeeper lowered his voice and urged: "I'll give it to you tomorrow when the gentleman comes back, hurry up!"

The man was a little unwilling: "Who knows if you will be clingy again tomorrow?"

"If you don't leave, I'll knock off your other leg with a stick!" the porter scolded.

When Zhang He and Xia Jiniang went out from the stable, they could only see the back of a limping man leaving, and the moment Zhang He saw him, he remembered the rascal he met at this time last year.The concierge looked flustered when he saw Zhang He, and stammered: "Second, Mr. Erlang, you picked up the car, why didn't you tell the little one, why did you come to pick up the car yourself?"

Zhang He was puzzled by his attitude, and said: "I saw that you were not here, and I didn't want to trouble you, so I came to get it myself." She glanced at the direction in which the scoundrel left, "Who is that, who dares to blackmail you? , why didn't you report to the official?"

"That's a rascal, Mr. Erlang don't need to pay attention to it."

Rao Xia Jiniang also noticed the weirdness of the porter, apparently he scolded the scoundrel and left after hearing the donkey bray, obviously he didn't want them to meet the scoundrel.It's just that Zhang He didn't ask, so she couldn't open her mouth.

Zhang He drove away slowly on the wide road in the donkey cart, Xia Jiniang pondered what happened just now in her heart for a long time, but couldn't think of a reason, so she asked Zhang He, "Does Erlang know that rascal?"

Zhang He shook his head: "I don't know, if I did, I wouldn't ask."

"But that poppi seems to be threatening something about the Zhang family. Since he can threaten this time, he must threaten it several times."

Zhang He said: "It seems that he has threatened several times, but even the Zhang family can't disregard the law of the country to kill people and silence them. And he is not afraid of death, so he came to blackmail him again and again. But I don't know what the elder brother did That's what provoked him."

Xia Jiniang said: "Why does Erlang think he is the elder brother?"

"The last time I came here, I saw that rascal in the market, and he was looking for elder brother." Zhang He said, "Perhaps my elder brother also did something as unbearable as Li Xun, so he must be blamed!"

At that time, she saw that Zhang Yan was very disgusted with the fact that the field servant sued the Lord, and she asked him if he had done something wrong to be afraid of the field servant suing the Lord, maybe she was right in her nonsense.It's just that she doesn't know whether it has anything to do with it.

After a while, Xia Jiniang put the matter aside for now and asked, "Where is Erlang taking me?"

"It's almost the Dragon Boat Festival, did Ji Niang forget?" Zhang He was a little proud, it was rare for her to remember the date, but Xia Ji Niang couldn't.

Naturally, Xia Jiniang would not forget that the Dragon Boat Festival was coming soon, but seeing Zhang He's complacent look, she let her go and asked with a smile, "It turns out that it is almost the Dragon Boat Festival, so what are Erlang's preparations?"

Zhang He pouted, and said, "Ji Niang was not like this before the Dragon Boat Festival last year."

Xia Jiniang couldn't help but giggled and said, "Okay, I know what Erlang wants." It turned out that he wanted to prepare a sachet for her in a different way.

Only then did Zhang He's eyes regain their brightness, and he said again: "I still have to go to my second brother to buy some crude medicine and go back. The weather is hot and there are more mosquitoes. If you sleep late at night, you will inevitably be bitten by mosquitoes. We will Add some herbs that can repel mosquitoes."

"it is good."

The two of them went to the alley where Yuan Jiulang's herbal medicine shop was located. Because the street was narrower than other streets and crowded with people, Zhang He and Xia Jiniang simply got out of the donkey cart and led it along.

Xia Jiniang pointed to a hanging cloth and said to Zhang He, "Here we are."

Zhang He could only see the cloth, but he couldn't see the words on it clearly. When he got closer, he recognized the six big characters "Yuan Jiulang Herbal Medicine Shop" written on it.This is the easiest and cheapest signboard, and it is also considered a kind of advertisement, and only shops with rich heritage will build plaque signboards.

Yuan Jiulang's raw medicine store is not big, there are two thirteen or fourteen year old boys making medicines, and a middle-aged man is grabbing medicines in front of the medicine cabinet, but Xia Jiniang's second brother Xia Luosi is not there.

"You two officials and ladies, what do you want?" The man in front of the medicine cabinet asked with a smile.

Xia Jiniang recognized him as Yuan Jiulang, the owner of the raw medicine shop, and asked, "Excuse me, is Xia Luosi here?"

Yuan Jiulang immediately changed his face, and said angrily, "Not here!"

Xia Jiniang frowned, Yuan Jiulang's attitude was so bad, but what happened?The last time she came here, Xia Luosi was still here!

"Then where did he go?" Zhang He, who was standing outside the door, asked again.

"I don't know, don't mention that white-eyed wolf!" Yuan Jiulang sullenly said, "Will you buy herbs or not? If you don't buy them, leave. You are not welcome here!"

Xia Jiniang was kicked out, she and Zhang He looked at each other, but they had no choice but to leave first if others wanted to drive them away, but this sudden change made them a little at a loss.

Suddenly, a young man followed up from behind. He took a cautious look at Yuan Jiulang's raw medicine shop, and said to the two of them, "Brother Luo Si sells medicine in Longquan Temple. You can go find him there." After speaking, he ran back to Yuan Jiulang. Kuro Herbal Medicine Shop.

Zhang He and Xia Jiniang didn't bother to think too much, so they rushed to Longquan Temple.
