Bianjing little doctor

Chapter 173

"Really?" Xin Yi sensed the jifeng hidden in Fu Jiuqu's complex eyes, his cheeks couldn't help but slightly heated up, his eyelids drooped slightly, and he unconsciously rubbed back and forth with one hand.

"Aunt Li is always at home on weekdays. She listens a lot and speaks a lot. She may not remember all of what she said. The county king doesn't have to take it seriously."

"You are dishonest." Fu Jiuqu's eyes fell on the top of Xin Yi's head. Seeing her looking up, pretending to be calm and innocent, her eyes narrowed slightly, and she couldn't help but smile, "Every time you lie , that hand just scratched and scratched like this, extremely restless, and I knew there was a ghost in my heart just by looking at it."

Xin Yi choked.

Dare to love the king of Guangling County who knows how to express micro-expressions?
She coughed lightly, "I scratched and scratched, not because I had a ghost in my heart, but because the king of the county looked at me, and I was nervous."

"There is no ghost in your heart, why are you nervous?"

"Because the king of the county is so good-looking." Xin Yi smiled, and blamed him confidently: "Which little lady won't be nervous and flustered when the king of the county stares at him so directly? I'm a local dog, and I can't avoid it .”

"..."

It was the first time Fu Jiuqu met someone who called himself a local dog.

The corners of his lips raised involuntarily, with a slight smile, perhaps healed by Xin Yi's "good-looking", his expression relaxed, and his tone became much gentler.

"Then how do you know she will definitely come?"

"Smell." Xin Yi said: "To tell you the truth, I have a better sense of smell than ordinary people. The skirt she left behind when she sneaked into the room earlier had a peculiar smell, which was exactly the same as the smell of the cat I lost and recovered. I It is suspected that she lives nearby and that the cat was kept by her when it disappeared."

Fu Jiuqu squinted at her, thoughtful.

Xin Yi concealed what he knew about the "Nine-Tailed Fox Demon Plot", and slowly analyzed:
"The first time this woman appeared was the day I was steaming incense in the yard. At that time, she knocked the bamboo basket I hung on the wall to the ground... Later, Xiang Ling told me that the leftovers in the stove The leftovers are often eaten by others, and today there was another incident of stealing clothes and dresses, so I judged that the thief was a woman. She likes spices and beautiful dresses. Not good, maybe I can’t eat enough, and I don’t have enough clothes to keep out the cold... So, I made a hot pot, hung out the new clothes, and smoked the incense, let everyone go to the yard to eat, and gave her a chance to sneak into the room. Catch her with a fishing net..."

Fu Jiuqu raised his eyebrows.

"Hot pot is just one of the bait?"

Xin Yi was surprised that he would ask this question after listening.

"Yeah, what's wrong?"

The corners of Fu Jiuqu's lips were pursed coldly, watching her deep in thought.

After a while, he asked back, "How do you plan to catch her next?"

"I won't catch her." Xin Yi sighed softly, "Before I saw her, I thought this 'fox demon' who harmed the world was really a three-headed and six-armed person, extremely vicious. But when I saw her tonight, it turned out to be just a An ordinary poor woman... and she seems to have lost her mind and doesn't quite understand what she's doing."

"Then let's forget about it?" Fu Jiuqu smiled with a half-smile, and his tone was a bit dignified, "If this woman is really related to Du Zhongqing, then she has something to do with the spice case that the Secretary of the Imperial City is investigating. He is one of the criminals. If you let him go, do you know that you will get into trouble?"

"Otherwise, why would I have left the king down to catch the monster together?" Xin Yi pursed his lips and smiled, seeing Fu Jiuqu frown in displeasure, and then looked at him very firmly, "Don't worry, king, I believe she will Come back again. I will definitely find a way to get her to speak up and help the county king find out the truth."

"What if I don't come back? Take you as a crime?"

"Shall we make a bet?"

"What are you gambling?"

"Gambling..." Xin Yi hesitated to think about how to beat Guangling County King for such a great opportunity.

Unexpectedly, Fu Jiuqu spoke first.

"Bet on this house." Fu Jiuqu looked around, his stern face was as arrogant as ever, "It's limited to seven days, if you win, I will find someone to help you build the pharmacy according to the drawing you drew, and once The cost shall be borne by me..."

Xin Yi was taken aback.

Fu Jiuqu also knew that she wanted to transform the pharmacy and the blueprints?
Did this bird man put eyeliner around her?

Fu Jiuqu's eyes were light, and he continued: "If you lose, you can mortgage the house you bought from Sun Huai to me, but you can still use it, and you only need to pay me the rent on a monthly basis." .”

really.

The matter of buying a house cannot be hidden from him.

Xin Yi breathed a sigh of relief, and looked at Fu Jiuqu with half-closed eyes.

Seriously speaking, the cost of renovating the pharmacy must not compare with the original value of the house, and the bet is not equal.But she firmly believed that the woman would come back again, and felt that Fu Jiuqu's behavior was simply "giving away the head", and she would be sorry for herself if she didn't bet.

What if you lose?
Then return the money to Fu Jiuqu, anyway, you can continue to rent it when the time comes...

Xin Yi was a little excited when he gambled so big for the first time.

"Okay, it's a deal. The county king should not regret it then."

Fu Jiuqu's eyelids twitched slightly, and he hummed softly, "Where has this king ever made a slip of the tongue?"

Xin Yi raised a hand, wanting to high-five him as an alliance, "A word from a gentleman."

Fu Jiuqu narrowed his eyes for a moment, then slowly raised his hand, put it on her small palm, and smiled.

"Sima... go eat the pot."

The moon enters the mid-heaven, and the silver light sprinkles down the small courtyard.The birds on the treetops are all asleep, the Wuzhang River is flowing quietly, and the young man guarding Du Zhongqing's wall is leaning against the bottom of the wall, smelling the tempting food, spitting so greedy, he doesn't know what happened what.

Xin Yi and Fu Jiuqu returned to the table and continued to boil the hot pot. Others also sat back one after another. Amid the fragrance of the food, there were endless laughter and laughter, as if nothing had happened.

The three children left the table early.

Fu Jiuqu asked Sun Huai to wait for them to wash, but Xin Yi stopped him.

"They are all that big, and they can do their own things."

Sun Huai looked at his master, wondering if he should move or not.

The three children also stood where they were, looking at their mother and Uncle Fu, at a loss.

In the end, Fu Jiuqu waved his hand and let Xin Yi take care of the child without interfering.

"Don't blame the county king." Xin Yi was afraid of losing face to the Guangling county king, and when the child left, he explained with a smile.

"We are not a wealthy family. Today, Eunuch Sun is here to take care of them. If Eunuch Sun is not in the future, then I can find a few servant girls for them to come back to take care of them? It's not a bad thing to let the children stand on their own."

She was talking about Sun Huai.

In fact, it's not just Sun Huai.

Including herself.

She was afraid that one day, she would go to sleep and wake up again. She would no longer be in this world. At that time, the child would have no mother and would have to rely on himself to survive. Therefore, she always wanted to train the child to be self-reliant early.

"Yes." Fu Jiuqu didn't say much.

He was used to clothes and food since he was a child, and he can completely raise the three children on Zhang Xingyuan's behalf. He didn't fully understand Xin Yi's persistence, but he didn't force him, nodded slightly, and asked her simply.

"I've eaten too. Where do I sleep tonight?"

Xin Yi: "My room."

After a slight pause, she also put down her chopsticks, "My husband and I just squeeze together."

Fu Jiuqu raised his eyebrows and looked at her silently.

How can a woman's boudoir allow outside men to live in it?

This little lady really doesn't care about him.

Xin Yi thought he was dissatisfied, and said helplessly: "My room is the largest and most spacious in the whole pharmacy. The king of the county must either give in overnight, or... go back to the mansion to rest. I guess the fox demon will not come again tonight. And this The king of the county can also understand the matter, if there are any official complaints in the future, you can also be a witness for me..."

Fu Jiuqu snorted, "You should be careful."

Xin Yi had a smile on his face, "Keep your hand in everything, and there is wine and meat every day. This fox demon is eyeing me. Even if I don't do anything, I may get into trouble. It's better to strike first, the king said, right? "

Fu Jiuqu gave Xin Yi a gouged look, got up and asked Sun Huai to change his clothes.

……

That night, Fu Jiuqu didn't go back, but he didn't go to Xin Yi's room either.Instead, he took a nap on the recliner in the tea room, and got up and left around four o'clock.

Sun Huai yawned and held the lamp, and was about to prepare water for the county king to wash, but Fu Jiuqu waved his hand to stop him, and told him to relax his hands and feet.

"The child has to go to school tomorrow morning, so don't disturb him."

Sun Huai said, "Yes."

The master and servant left quietly through the side door. Xin Yi woke up in the morning and couldn't even see anyone, but the bamboo cage containing the cat was still in place, and the cat was not taken away by Fu Jiuqu.

"You don't want any gifts?"

Xin Yi shook his head amusedly, asked his husband to take the cat back to feed, and opened the door for business as usual, focusing on the bet with Fu Jiuqu and the woman, not paying too much attention to it...

But they never expected that there was a biggest flaw in this meticulous "monster catching plan".

She kept the King of Guangling County in the shop because she was just a medical lady, and it was against the law to forcibly arrest someone. This came from modern legal awareness, but she ignored the serious consequences of a widow letting a man stay overnight in ancient times.

Even though she was not alone, let alone alone in a room, the impact of the news that the king of Guangling County stayed at the Magnolia Pharmacy at night was still beyond her expectation.

A little widow with no name and no title, who is known as the uncle and sister-in-law of the current favorite minister of Guangling County, but hooks up with each other for personal purposes. This kind of glamorous thing is most talked about by people.

One pass ten, ten pass one hundred, add oil and vinegar.

Xin Yi was caught off guard, and there was an extra title on his head - the outer room of the king of Guangling County.

When Xin Yi heard the news from Mrs. An, she almost laughed angrily.

"Why don't they say that Guangling County King is my concubine?"

Mrs. An didn't expect her words and deeds to be so bold, and the corners of her mouth twitched.

"My lady, please stop joking. Who told you about this?"

"It's not important. The important thing is, what will the eldest princess and Miss Cao think if they hear the news?" Xin Yi shook his head, feeling very troubled, "Forget it, what am I afraid of as a little widow? Just say it." , quite a few hairs. Anyway, the king of Guangling County is precious, they must be more anxious than me..."

"What does the lady mean?"

Xin Yi smiled lazily, "We should eat and drink. Let them talk about it. If the Princess's House doesn't come forward to solve the problem, the Cao House will also eliminate the influence."
