Across the Market

Chapter 164

Zhao Jing looked at his injury and found that there was nothing serious about it. He was a martial artist, so he could tell that it was only a skin injury.I also saw that there is a village not far ahead, if I go back to the city, I'm afraid I have to go a long way, besides, since those people have left, I'm afraid they won't come again.

"You don't need it, it's just a skin injury, it's not a problem." He thanked Shen Yulou and the others, and was about to carry the girl into the carriage.

Shen Yulou stretched out his hand to stop him and said: "Master Zhao, please slow down. There is Lihua Village in front of us. We are indeed going to the village to do some things. Although Master Zhao's wound is only a skin trauma, it still needs to be treated properly. How about this, Ah Lu, you first drive to Lihua Village with Ah Fu and Mr. Zhao, I will ride faster and go to the city to invite a doctor."

Zhao Jing saw that although Shen Yulou was young and from a small place, his words and deeds were different from ordinary people, so he secretly paid attention to it.

He lowered his eyes and thought for a while. He was not in a hurry to take office, so he might as well go to Lihua Village with him first, and then ask about the situation in the city, so as to find out the people's sentiments by the way.

Shen Yulou rode back to the county seat, while Zhu Lu and Zhao Jing drove the carriage to Lihua Village.

Lihua Village is located in a mountain depression. It is a small village with dozens of families. There is a big tree with a thick neck at the entrance of the village.

Zhu Lu drove the carriage to the ridge of the road and stopped, tied the reins to the root of the tree, Fang turned sideways and said: "The road to the village is winding and rugged, and the carriage will be unstable when entering. Master Zhao, if you don't want to stop the carriage at Here." Then he said, "Master Zhao, don't worry, the people who come and go from the village are all villagers, and no one will steal the car. However, it is better to keep important things close to your body."

Zhao Jing smiled and clasped his fists at Zhu Lu and said, "Thank you, brother, for reminding me." He couldn't help but look at him a few more times, and thought to himself, he didn't expect that there would be a lot of talents in Songyang County, and before entering the city, he would meet two talented people Here comes the strong young man.

At this moment, Zhu Xi poked her head out, and only the upper half of her black hair was loosely tied in a bun. The bun was slanted to one side, and the rest of her hair was hanging on her chest, with a pink-white flower in her hairpin. Zhuhua, wearing a half-worn plain dress, has a graceful and sweet face. At first glance, she looks like a fairy walking out of a clear spring in a mountain stream, surprisingly beautiful and dignified.

Zhao Jing couldn't help guessing, is this girl really just an ordinary citizen in Songyang County?If you dress better, you will look no worse than the official ladies in the capital.

Zhu Xi didn't dare to look in Zhao Jing's direction, but he could feel those two scorching gazes sensitively, Zhu Xi blushed, and got off the carriage and leaned behind his brother.Only then did Zhao Jing realize that he had been rude, so he quickly looked away, just as Bao's mother carried her daughter out of the car, Zhao Jing reached out to take her over and held her in her arms.

Zhao Jing came to Songyang County to take up the post this time, bringing only Aunt Bao who can take care of her daughter, and Lao Quan, a family member.

Zhao Jing was a student from a poor family. When his father was still alive, he was a scholar in his teens, but he never passed the Juren examination.When he was in his 30s, he won the Juren, but died suddenly, and then his mother followed.When his parents died, Zhao Jing was more than ten years old, and he was already engaged to a girl from the same village, Fang Shi.

With the help of my uncle, a happy event was held in the first month of the filial piety period, and the real consummation took place three years later, but Fang died in childbirth the following year.

For more than three years, Zhao Jing lived with his daughter and did not remarry.

At this time, the sun was shining brightly, and there was a faint fragrance of peach blossoms in the air. On the hillside not far away, there was a hint of greenery, and the spring was infinitely beautiful.

After Sister Nuan was carried out of the carriage by Zhu Fu, her eyes kept falling on the girl in Zhao Jing's arms. Seeing that the little sister was beautiful, she smiled softly, walked over with her hands behind her back and spoke actively, "You go back Do you also live in Songyang County? Then I can find you to play."

The girl combed with double rings, her face was pink and white, her eyes were black and white, she was obviously a little bit of a stranger, after hearing the reputation, she looked at Sister Nuan's son for a while, and then stretched out her arms and hugged Zhao Jing's neck tightly.

Aunt Bao smiled and said: "Miss, this is shy." Then she reached out to take the girl from Zhao Jing's arms, hugged her and talked to Sister Nuan, "Miss is used to being alone, this is the first time I have met such a girl." Some people, some are born."

Sister Nuan stretched out her hand enough for the girl's little hand, then covered her mouth and laughed, "It's as soft as my brother's hand." After that, she kept teasing the girl to talk.

The girl was a little shy at first, but when she saw that Sister Nuan was laughing all the time, she also laughed, and her relationship with Sister Nuan became better.

The cows are raised by a family surnamed Jiang. There are two husbands and wives. There are two sons in the family. The eldest son is 14 years old.

Lihua Village is a little behind than Xinghua Village. Along the way, the villagers live in mud houses, and none of their houses are green brick and tile houses.

In front of the door of Jiang’s earthen house, a fence was surrounded by mud. Inside the fence, there was a pig shed and a cow shed on each side, and two cows were tied to the cow shed.

"Are you here to buy cattle at my house?" Standing in front of the door was a thirteen or fourteen-year-old boy, looking at Zhu Fu and the others curiously, seeing if they knew these people, he cast his eyes on Zhu Lu, Immediately laughed, "Brother Zhu, my parents were talking about you just now, are they your friends? Come in and sit in the room."

Before, Zhu Lu and Shen Yulou came to this family to deliver milk, so the boy recognized him.

"Where is Brother Shen? Why didn't Brother Shen come?" The young man looked around curiously, and at a glance he saw Shen Yulou tying his horse at the entrance of the village. He laughed and waved to Shen Yulou, "Brother Shen."

Zhu Fu brought some chicken cakes, handed them to the young man and said, "These cakes are made with the milk from your cows, try them, do they taste better than other people's?"

The young man scratched his head in embarrassment, and called into the earthen house: "Father and mother, Big Brother Shen and Big Brother Zhu have come to my house, come out quickly."

"Come here so soon?" Hearing the sound, a skinny woman came out of the earthen house. The woman's complexion was a little sallow, but she was happy. Seeing so many people standing outside, she showed a little bit The farmer's shyness asked, "Which of these few is the owner?"
