chapter 46

Early the next morning, Xin Yi handed over the child to Xiang Ling and his beloved, changed into men's clothes, and prepared to take the carriage of Mrs. Cao's family into the city.

Sanbao clamored to go with her, and cried for a while at the door, and was later carried back by her husband.

Liu Shi and Zhang Erlang listened to the corner of the next door for a long time, with vicious spitting on their faces.

"This little slut sneaked into the city, he must be doing something shady. Erlang, go to the car and call the eldest daughter-in-law. My mother is going to catch her today and make her ashamed to live any longer."

Xin Yi has been in the limelight in Zhangjia Village for a while now, and Mrs. Liu has long hated this daughter-in-law who can't handle it, and she is planning when to vent her anger.

The same is true for Zhang Erlang, Xiao Xie was taken away by the Kaifeng mansion, and he has not been released for so long, every time he went to inquire, he was not sure, and he also held a grudge.

The couple got into the car and followed them out the door.

……

Xin Yi chatted and laughed with Mrs. Cao along the way, and walked along the official road into "A Picture of Shanghe on the Qingming Festival". She has seen this scene countless times, and now she is in it, feeling like a dream .

Mrs. Cao has received a lot of favors from Cao Yi and Gao Miao these days, and today she specially brought some chicken eggs and local products of her own to go to Da Cao's Mansion and Prince Pu's Mansion to return the gifts.

Xin Yi got off the car by the Hongqiao and bid farewell to Mrs. Cao.

The Hongqiao at this point is very lively, people come and go on the bridge, there are all kinds of stalls on both sides of the bridge railing, fortune-telling, selling goods, it is extremely noisy.There are two small boats moored under the bridge, and a larger passenger boat is passing through the arch hole. The boatmen are shouting and rowing hard...

While looking at the scenery of Hongqiao, Xin Yi walked along the bridge, and finally stopped at the entrance of a tavern called "Red Furnace Wine Shop".

Green ant new fermented wine, a small red clay stove, and a weeping willow with a crooked neck hiding in front of the door, this is the place.

Xin Yi chuckled and walked in.

"How many gentlemen are you?"

The bartender enthusiastically greeted her, and Xin Yi looked past her, looking at the location near the Bian River in the inner room, "I'm looking for someone."

Dong Dahai saw her, got up and beckoned, and before Xin Yi walked over, he called the wine waiter over, "I want a plate of roasted kidneys, a spring onion and a rabbit, cut half a catty of braised sheep's feet, and warm a corner of wine, hurry up." Serve some up."

The bartender grinned and went down to buy.

Xin Yi sat on the side of Dong Dahai, looking at today's host and guest.

"Boss Ma, right?"

"Ma Fan. The little lady laughed."

The Chuzhou drug dealer introduced by Dong Dahai looks about 40 years old, with a long beard, dressed in a clean and elegant manner, and smiles and narrows his eyes when he speaks, looking very friendly.

Dong Dahai was very sensible, so he gritted his teeth and said goodbye after making an introduction.

"Today's drink is mine, you two take your time, I'm still busy in the shop, so go ahead. Offend, offend!"

The food and wine came up one after another, Xin Yi sat opposite Ma Fan, raised his hand to pour wine for him, and smiled lightly.

"Boss Ma didn't come to me today just to pay the balance, did he?"

Ma Fan took a small sip from the corner of his lips and smiled.

"The little lady is a sensible person, so Ma will not hide it. I do have a private matter, and I want to ask the little lady."

Xin Yi smiled and said, "Please tell me."

Ma Fan squinted his eyes and looked at her carefully, and after a long while, he said quietly: "As far as Ma knows, there is only one person in the world who knows the magic of horse money, and there is only one Chen Chusheng. I am very curious about the origin of the little lady? Where did she come from?" Any money you can get?"

Xin Yi smiled back and asked, "Boss Ma, where did you find out about Ma Qianzi?"

Ma Fan gave a slight pause to the hand holding the cup, then put it down, took out a yellowed drawing from his arms, and moved it from the table to Xin Yi.

"Back when Ma went to Beijing to sell medicinal materials, he was taken care of by Imperial Physician Chen. He saw me alone, and often let me stay at his home and entertain me with warm wine. We hit it off and became friends for many years. Later, Imperial Physician Chen asked me to find this Plant trees, I have to smell a thing or two..."

Xin Yi asked, "Did Boss Ma find the tree?"

Ma Fan narrowed his eyes and sighed with emotion.

"I went all over the place and asked around, and I really found two plants for him..."

Xin Yi narrowed his eyes, "Where's the tree?"

Ma Fan shook his head, "I have traveled thousands of miles to transport the Nutmegonia tree to Bianjing, but I heard that Chen Chusheng has been demoted and returned to his hometown."

Xin Yi asked again: "Where's the tree?"

Ma Fan shook his head again: "I can't find anyone in the post office, and I don't know what the purpose of this tree is. It must have been discarded or died... For many years, I haven't seen Ma Qianzi again. I was shocked when I heard that this item was for sale, so I asked the young lady to come to meet, and I hope you will forgive me for the abruptness."

After a pause, he saw that Xin Yi was silent, and said again: "I have answered all the questions that the young lady asked me, so it's up to the young lady to answer me?"

Xin Yi thought about it, and sighed lightly.

"Since Imperial Physician Chen was demoted, he lived in our village. This tree happened to be planted in the village. I heard about it from Imperial Physician Chen..."

She spoke half-truth, and told Ma Fan about the disaster of Chen Chusheng's family. After hearing this, he was so moved that he stroked his beard and sighed.

"Unfortunately, unfortunately..."

Ma Fan unfolded the blueprint, pondered for a moment, and suddenly looked up at Xin Yi, "Ma wants to go to the medical hut where Dr. Chen Tai lived...that is the Tower of the Medicine King that was struck by lightning to pay homage. Is it convenient to accompany you?"

Xin Yi frowned slightly, then smiled.

"of course."

The two made an appointment, and Xin Yi asked him about the prices of medicinal materials in the north and south. Ma Fan answered both questions and was very expert.

At this time, Xin Yi changed the subject, and asked with a smile: "The Imperial Physician Chen has a fellow apprentice called Cui You. I wonder if Boss Ma knows him?"

Ma Fan was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said: "Back then when I was at the Imperial Physician Chen's residence, I had a relationship with Mr. Cui. We used to have a drink around the stove, and talked about medicine over wine. We were not very happy. Miss Zensheng knew me too. he?"

Xin Yi smiled and said, "Cui Langzhong is in Bianjing."

Ma Fan's face showed a bit of surprise, "I heard that Mr. Cui traveled all over the world and made his home all over the world. I didn't expect to settle in Bianjing. Please introduce me to the young lady. I want to meet my old friend..."

Xin Yi still kept smiling and spoke calmly.

"Well, I'll help Boss Ma make an appointment with Cui Langzhong, how about meeting at the Yaowang Pagoda tomorrow?"

"it is good……"

Ma Fan hadn't finished a good word when there was a bang at the door of the restaurant.

Mrs. Liu had been watching outside for a long time, and when she saw the two eating and drinking, talking and smiling lightly, she became impatient, rushed in with Zhang Erlang and Mrs. Gong, and yelled at Xin Yi in front of many diners.

"Well, you shameless little whore, finally let me catch you today, right? You come out to seduce wild men in broad daylight, you can't bear it like this, your itchy flesh is biting hard, don't you..."

Liu's background as a master dancer, he pretended to be a ghost all his life, relying on these two mouths, he scolded people in a high-pitched voice, loudly, and stinky.

Gong couldn't bear it, so she pulled her sleeve,

"Mother, let's talk about it when we have something to say, don't let people see the joke."

Liu-shi spat, shook off Gong-shi and wanted to roll up his sleeves.

"You little bastards are not afraid of jokes, what is my mother afraid of? My Saburo hasn't given birth to Sanqi yet, and today this old lady is going to drag this prostitute to an official to ask me for an explanation..."

Seeing her shrew look, Xin Yi couldn't help laughing.

"What are you yelling about? Isn't it embarrassing enough?"

Mrs. Liu was a little afraid of her strength, so she didn't dare to make a real move. She just crossed her waist and cursed strangely, so that others could listen.

"My daughter-in-law here, her wings are stiff, and my mother dares to scold me casually. She really raised a white-eyed wolf. The neighbors come to judge. Should this little bastard be taken to the government and sent to jail... ..."

Noisy.Xin Yi rubbed his temples.

This Mrs. Liu is a lice on her body, which can't kill anyone.

Seeing more and more people gathered around to watch the fun, pointing and laughing, Xin Yi apologized to Ma Fan apologetically, got up and strode towards Liu Shi.

"Since you are not afraid of shame, then I will help you become famous..."

Liu's eyes widened, "Little bitch, what are you going to do?"

Xin Yi didn't answer, grabbed Liu Shi's wrist and pulled it out.Mrs. Liu screamed loudly, but couldn't break free from Xin Yi's palm. She howled like a pig being killed. Zhang Erlang followed up to snatch people, and Mrs. Gong tried to persuade them to make peace. Next to a wine shop full of colorful flag poles...

The crowd got bigger and bigger.

Xin Yi smiled coolly and pushed Mrs. Liu in.

"Shopkeeper, this is Zhang Silang's own mother, she came to help Zhang Silang pay the bill."

At this time, there is no such thing as a brothel in Bianjing City, and this kind of wine shop with colorful buildings and happy doors is a happy place.

Liu's own son, Zhang Silang, is a prodigal son who hangs around all day long. Now the sons of the Zhang family village can't get married. Liu feels that he owes his son, so he can't control him, so he can only let him be romantic.It's just that this kid loves to imitate the nobles of aristocratic families, and owes a lot of money in Huanlou.

Unfortunately, when Xin Yi went in with Mrs. Liu, Zhang Silang was being pushed and stumbled downstairs by several girls, saying "Cuixiang, you wait for the fourth master, and wait for the fourth master to collect enough money." Come to redeem yourself..."

Then, he was scolded by the girls.

It is not shameful for a man to have fun in this day and age, what is shameful is to have fun without money.

Liu's old face turned red and white, and couldn't stand it any longer.

"Unsatisfactory stuff!"

She didn't care about Xin Yi, she walked over and grabbed Zhang Silang and dragged him out.

"Go, go home with my mother."

A few tall and strong men who looked like nurses came over and stopped in front of them.

"Are you Zhang Silang's wife? Well, let's settle the money your son owes us for the wine and the money you owe the girl."

Liu almost fainted.

And Xin Yi had already taken advantage of the noise and retreated out without making a sound.

Flick the sleeves, don't take away a cloud.
