Across the Market

Chapter 165

Zhu Fu said: "We are all one family, this is my elder brother." She pointed at Zhu Lu, her eyes fell on Zhao Jing's injured arm, and she said to the woman, "This is our Songyang County The soon-to-be magistrate of Zhao County was injured on the way here, Brother Shen went to the city to ask for a doctor, and he has to borrow a piece of land from his aunt’s house to get some medicine later, is it convenient?"

When the woman heard that she was the county magistrate, she was so frightened that she trembled, and quickly said: "Yes, yes, of course." Then she hurriedly called inside, "Old man, come out soon, our house has a distinguished guest." Yes, the county magistrate has come to my house."

"Master County Magistrate?" A thin, slightly hunchbacked middle-aged man came out from the back room. The man's face was as black as coal, and he walked over with a hunched back, "Grassman..."

Before he knelt down, Zhao Jing helped him up with one hand.

"You don't have to be like this, get up quickly." After helping the man up, Shen Yulou just happened to lead an old doctor with a gray beard over.

The Jiang couple hurriedly invited several people to sit in the main room together, and asked the eldest son Shuanzi to boil water. When they turned around, they saw the youngest son Jiang Shu huddled in a corner and looking eagerly at this side. He stamped his feet and said, "Ashu, this is our The county magistrate of Songyang County, come and see him soon."

Jiang Shu was only seven or eight years old, wearing a ragged jacket that was so dirty that his original color could not be seen, and he did not move.

Seeing that his father seemed about to come over and beat him up, Jiang Shu turned around flexibly, and ran out the door in a flash.

"This dead boy is simply too disobedient." The Jiang family man stomped his feet angrily, for fear of offending the county magistrate.

Zhao Jing could see it, and hurriedly said with a pleasant face: "This child is still young, just at the time when he is skinny. Besides, as a parent official, I work for the people, so I don't need the people to greet me."

Zhao Jing was sitting on the top seat, only lowering his eyes and was about to roll up his sleeves, when suddenly a plain figure ran out in a hurry, his expression paused, and then he remembered that there was a female relative.There was a slight embarrassment on his face, and he didn't know whether to continue rolling up his sleeves, or...

Shen Yulou smiled and said: "Yuzhu, you and Ah Fu also go out, let the doctor give Master Zhao medicine."

"Then I'll take Sister Kou'er out to play too." Since entering the house, Nuan has been holding Zhao Kou's hand. Seeing that her sisters have gone out, she also holds Zhao Kou's hand to go out .

Zhao Kou was introverted and shy after all, hugged his father's thigh tightly, hummed softly, and refused to leave.

Zhao Jing touched his daughter's little head and said, "Be good, baby girl, go out to play with this young lady, stay here for a while and wait for Daddy's hands to be bandaged before you come in."

Aunt Bao thought to herself, it must be the master who had a serious injury on his hand, and he was afraid that my sister would be frightened when she saw it, so she also sent her away.Thinking of this, Aunt Bao smiled and went over to hug Zhao Kou, coaxing softly: "Sister, the adults want to talk, shall we go out? Let's come in later, the master won't leave."

Zhao Kou's big black and white eyes kept staring at Zhao Jing's blood-stained sleeves, and she felt aggrieved when she looked at her, and she cried out when she curled her small mouth.

Aunt Bao hurriedly carried Zhao Kou away, and coaxed her softly.

Sister Nuan has been holding Zhao Kou's small white hand, following behind her every step, and said with concern: "Don't be afraid, I will play with you, and my sisters will play with you too."

After seeing his daughter leave, Zhao Jing rolled up his sleeves, and the white undershirt was already stained red with blood.

"Old Doctor Qiao, come here and take a look." Shen Yulou turned sideways to let Old Doctor Qiao look at the injury.

After checking, the old doctor Qiao sighed and said, "Although there is no injury to the bones, the knife cuts hard enough, just a little bit, and the hand will be useless." Then he turned to the Jiang couple and said, " Bring some clean water, I brought medicine, I have to wash the wound and apply medicine as soon as possible."

After the Jiang couple heard this, they hurried away, and Zhao Jing frowned his thick black eyebrows.

Shen Yulou saw Zhao Jing frowned and concentrated, knowing that he was doubting the identities of those masked men in black, and thinking that they were here to seize the documents, so he said: "These people are here for the documents of their predecessors, and they don't want to kill for money. , the goal is very clear, there are only two possibilities. The first is someone who is the enemy of Mr. Zhao and wants to harm Mr. Zhao... The second is someone who is not willing to let Mr. Zhao take up his post."

Zhao Jingdao: "Although I have offended some dignitaries in the capital, if they really want to take revenge, there is no need to wait until they are in Huzhou to do it. They can do it when they leave the capital. I really can't think of anyone who would not want me Even the former magistrate of Songyang County, Mr. Liao, would not dare to act so blatantly. Besides, this is the intention of the Ministry of Rites, and it was approved by the Holy Majesty, so who would dare."

He looked at Shen Yulou, and after talking so much, he just wanted to ask Shen Yulou if something important happened in Songyang County.

Shen Yulou had already vaguely guessed the perpetrator, but the matter was so important that he couldn't say anything about it.

The old doctor Qiao cleaned Zhao Jing's wound and applied medicine again, and said: "I will prescribe a prescription later, and remember to change the medicine every day when I go back to the county. Don't get wet, otherwise the wound may be very serious. Difficult to heal."

Zhao Jing wrote it down one by one, and asked Uncle Quan to pay the old doctor Qiao.

Outside, Zhu Xi's pretty face was still red. She stood in front of the Jiang family's mud fence, blowing the slightly damp and cold wind in early spring, but her face was still hot.

Sometimes she has a hot temper, but that's just forced by her grandmother's family. In fact, most of the time, she is gentle and calm, with a very thin skin.

Shen Yuzhu came over, stretched out her hand to abduct Zhu Xi and said, "Ah Xi, look at your blushing face, you can bleed. Then Master Zhao rolled up his sleeves, and I watched it too, I didn't even blush. "And he said to himself, "But it's true, I'm not good-looking, Mr. Zhao will definitely look down on me."

Zhu Xi stomped his feet angrily: "Yuzhu, what are you talking about! If people listen to such nonsense, they will laugh at me."

"I'm joking with you, okay, I know you are thin-skinned." Shen Yuzhu held Zhu Xi's hand, looked around, saw Zhu Fu playing with a few little guys, and she took Zhu Xi to change. Going to the remote side, she said in a low voice, "Master Zhao came to Songyang County to take up his post. He brought a child but not his wife. It must be his wife..." Seeing Zhu Xi glaring at her, she quickly covered her mouth and smiled and said, " Just the two of us, I'll tell you what's on my mind, don't be shy."
