"I'm fine. This brown sugar is for Sister Ji'er." Xi Jin patted his hand and comforted him.
Unexpectedly, he actually remembered the day of her menstruation.
Xijing still remembers the first menstrual period after coming to Yazhou. It was probably because he was too tired from running around, which led to heavy bleeding during menstruation.
Xi Jin got up in the middle of the night to boil water to wash up, and fainted in the kitchen, which scared Xie Luo.
Since then, they always have brown sugar at home.
Xie Luo also realized that he was overreacting. Jin'er might think that he was too Meng Lang, so he hurriedly explained: "Jin'er, I don't mean anything else, I..."
"I know." Xi Jin smiled, "I know you care about me."
Xie Luo relaxed and smiled: "Give this to Ji'er. I will bring you another jar when I come back in the evening."
"Okay." Xi Jin smiled, took a few more eggs, turned around and went out and handed them to Ji'er.
"Sister Jin, this is too much. It costs a lot of money. I can't take it." Ji'er waved her hands repeatedly.
Xie Luo came out of the room, looked at Ji'er and said, "This money will be deducted from your salary."
Xijin understood what Xie Luo meant. Although she was willing, she couldn't let Ji'er develop the habit of accepting benefits from others for free. Xie Luo was right.
"These things total ten cents. If you pick mugwort for me for three days, you will pay off the debt." Xi Jin continued Xie Luo's words.
"Okay, thank you sister Jin, thank you...brother-in-law." Ji'er nodded and bowed, "I'll give this to my sister first, and I'll go pick mugwort right away."
"Okay, pay attention to safety and don't go into the mountains." Xi Jin warned.
"Sister Jin, don't worry, sooner or later I will grow into a man like my brother-in-law, and I will protect you then." Ji'er was young, but her eyes were full of determination.
Xi Jin looked back at Xie Luo and Zhou Zheng's tall and straight figure, and said to Ji'er: "Then you must eat more so that you can grow up quickly. If there is not enough food at home, come and tell us."
"Okay!" Ji'er's clear eyes were full of gratitude.
When Ji'er handed a basket full of things to Zhao Qiaoniang, Zhao Qiaoniang was extremely surprised: "Mu Xijin gave you all these things?"
"Yes, Sister Jin said that I would pay for it with three days' wages." Ji'er happily handed everything in her hand to Zhao Qiaoniang, "Sister, feel free to eat."
"Silly brother, don't you know how expensive this brown sugar is?" Zhao Qiaoniang looked at Xi Jin enviously, "Her husband is so kind to her."
She looked at Xie Luo from a distance, and for a moment she felt familiar: "Ji'er, is the man standing next to Mu Xijin his husband?"
"Yes, my brother-in-law is so good-looking." Ji'er was full of admiration. He must look as tall and handsome as his brother-in-law in the future.
"You're very familiar with me. My brother-in-law has called me." Zhao Qiaoniang patted his head, "Aren't you going to pick mugwort for Mu Xijin? Why don't you go quickly?"
"Okay, then I'm going. Sister, you must remember to go back and make some brown sugar water to drink!"
"I know." Zhao Qiaoniang looked at Ji'er's running back, then looked back at Xie Luo, "Isn't it really you?"
Here, Xi Jin packed up the clothes for General Gu and went to Lan'er's house.
The Governor's Mansion is quite a ways away from the village. Xi Jin and Lan'er agreed yesterday to go to the village entrance and take an ox cart to the town together today.
Delayed for a while by Ji'er's matter, when Xi Jin and Lan'er arrived at the entrance of the village, the bullock cart had already started.
The driver of the bullock cart is Uncle Shi, who lives at the entrance of the village. Uncle Shi is a native of Yazhou, the village chief's cousin, and one of the few civilians in the village.
With the village chief's relationship, Uncle Shi can easily earn some money by driving bullock carts on weekdays.
Seeing Xi Jin and Lan'er running over in a hurry, he quickly stopped the bullock cart.
"Xie Luo, dear wife, Miss Lan'er, get in the car quickly." Uncle Shi greeted warmly.
"Uncle Shi, I'm causing you trouble." Xi Jin took out ten cents and handed it to Uncle Shi, "This is the fare for Lan'er and I. I'll treat you to tea with the extra few cents."
"Hey, Xie Luo, wife, you are too polite." Uncle Shi happily took the money and stuffed it into his pocket.
Originally, the two of them only needed to pay six cents, but Xie Luo's wife gave him an extra four cents, which made him very unhappy.
What's more, compared with those fat women, a girl with a light figure like Xie Luo's wife is worth two.
"Hypocrisy." came a sarcastic voice.
Only then did Xi Jin realize that Shi Lingyin was also on the carriage. Xi Jin glanced at her and ignored her.
"Miss Lingyin, I'm afraid you don't know. Xie Luo has been promoted to deputy commander, and Xie Luo's wife is naturally generous." A woman wearing patchwork clothes said provocatively.
This woman used to work in the workshop, and everyone called her "Chun Shu's Wife."
Chunshu's daughter-in-law was often scolded by Mrs. Li because of her poor craftsmanship.
Therefore, she also resented Mrs. Li's respect for her good craftsmanship.
"What did you say?" Shi Lingyin was surprised when she heard that Xie Luo was promoted to deputy commander, but then she showed a hint of loneliness.
After all, he was young and could not hide the emotions on his face.
"I'm afraid this is the last time Xie Luo's daughter-in-law will ride in an ox-cart with us, right? After all, she will be an official's wife from now on, and she will always have a horse-drawn carriage and a sedan when she goes out." Harushu's daughter-in-law continued to say sarcastically.
Anyone who has worked in the workshop knows that the young lady from the village chief's family likes Xie Luo. Perhaps she wants Xie Luo to divorce his wife as soon as possible, so Chunshu's daughter-in-law deliberately and continuously stimulates Shi Lingyin.
Listening to the words of Chunshu's wife, Xi Jin really missed the carriage. When they built a new house, they must buy a carriage. Even if it was not possible, they would buy an ox cart. She couldn't bear to talk to these talkative women anymore. We rode in a bullock cart together.
"Daughter-in-law Chunshu, I'm afraid you have a poor appetite recently and your hands and feet are hot, right?" Xi Jin raised his eyes and looked at Chunshu's wife with sharp eyes.
"How do you know?" Chunshu's wife naturally knew that Xi Jin had some medical skills, but she didn't even feel her pulse, how could she tell?
"With poor appetite, most people will have a bad odor in their mouth, which is annoying." Xi Jin smoothed his clothes and said calmly.
After hearing this, the others knew that Xijin was mocking Chunshu's wife, and they couldn't help laughing.
After hearing this, Chunshu's daughter-in-law was furious, so she wanted to be as playful and playful as before.
But when he raised his hand, he saw the silver needle glowing coldly in Xi Jin's hand, and he was immediately discouraged.
"Why don't you let me heal you?" Xi Jin gently turned his fingertips and sealed Chunshu's wife's mute point with a needle before she could react. "Just be quiet for a while and let everyone's ears be clear. For a while."
"Uh...uh." Harushu's wife wanted to curse, but she was so surprised that she couldn't speak at all.
When everyone saw the appearance of Chunshu's wife, they hurriedly stayed away. Could it be that Chunshu's wife was possessed by an evil spirit?
