In the afternoon, Qin Jian finally arrived at Jinzhou City. He didn't even have time to drink water before he was dragged away by Cheng Meng to go on a mission. He also told him a piece of news that shocked him.
Is Sun Qi a pseudonym?
Have you found your family yet?
Is the other party his savior?
Is the sister-in-law he keeps calling his brother-in-law?
Why is it so dreamy?
"Wait, wait! Lao Cheng, please speak clearly! What is going on?"
This is the first time in history that Qin Jian doesn't think about the mission at all, he just wants to gossip.
Cheng Meng looked at him speechlessly and asked: "You are in Jingzhou every day, don't you notice at all?"
"No! Sun Qi... ...Bah, Lu Baichuan didn't go to Changzhou to find his family, and then said that all his family members died on the way to escape the famine. During that time, he also tortured himself to the point where he was neither human nor ghost. It makes me feel bad to see him! Besides, that death The boy never told me the names of his family members. Even his real name was only known to me when you told me just now. How could I possibly connect him with my benefactor’s family?”
“ Just a few days ago, he was so ill that he was about to die. I asked him to go to my benefactor to see a doctor. He was still unwilling, so I went to get him medicine. You said that if he went to see a doctor with me at that time, wouldn't he know that he Is the family still alive?"
The more Qin Jian thought about it, the angrier he became. He felt that Lu Baichuan did not regard him as a real brother, and did not tell him such a big thing, and then he went around in a big circle.
If Lu Baichuan had told him the names of his family earlier, he would definitely know.
Although he didn’t know the names of other people in the Lu family, he knew He Jiuniang’s name. He had heard people call her that before.
"He deserves it for not saying anything to me. He has suffered for so long! Humph!"
He snorted in relief. This means he didn't regard him as a good brother. The end!
Actually, Lu Baichuan had told him that the time Lu Baichuan poured the medicine on him in Nantai, Lu Baichuan left him a letter, saying that if he didn’t come back, he would ask him to help him find it. About the family.
The letter was under the pillow in Lu Baichuan's room, with the names of the Lu family written on it.
But Qin Jian was angry at the time, and Lu Baichuan successfully came back alive, so the letter was naturally not seen by Qin Jian.
"Okay, okay, if His Highness hadn't suddenly transferred you back this time, their family might not have been able to meet each other. To put it bluntly, it's all fate."
Cheng Meng patted him on the shoulder, raised his whip and patted the horse's back, and took the lead to step forward.
Qin Jian felt that it was all thanks to himself. If he hadn't seen Lu Baichuan dying all day long, he wouldn't have deliberately let him go on the mission with injuries. He could have found someone else. After all, they There are quite a lot of capable people among the brothers.
In that case, this couple will definitely miss it again.
When he gets back, he must ask Lu Baichuan to treat him to a drink. How can he not repay such a great favor?
Thinking of this, his mood suddenly brightened, and he went to chase Cheng Meng very happily, and first completed the matters assigned by His Highness.
Here in Jingzhou City, Lu Baichuan has been weak all day. The pain was so bad last night that his body didn’t feel like his own. In the morning, he still managed to go to the cell. After one trip, I lay down directly on the bed when I came back.
In fact, when he went out in the morning, He Jiuniang reminded him not to hold on, but he didn't listen and insisted on showing off his strength. As a result, he was being supported when he came back.
But Ms. Sun felt so distressed that she went to the market to buy stick bones, saying that she wanted to replenish her son's health.
After walking around the food markets in Fucheng, Mrs. Sun smacked her lips. They were obviously no different from those in the county. Some of the dishes were even not as fresh as those in the county, but the prices were much more expensive than those in Fucheng. It was simply outrageous. .
She feels distressed even though she has money now, let alone those from poor families, how are they going to live in this city?
Despite this, Mrs. Sun still bought a lot of vegetables with tears in her eyes. After all, she wanted to nourish her son's health, so she would buy them no matter how expensive they were.
When we went back, Sister-in-law Xu followed behind Mrs. Sun carrying vegetables. Originally, Mrs. Sun could carry some by herself, but Mrs. Xu said that she was a servant and she should do these things, so she asked Mrs. Sun Going out to buy groceries in person is already against the rules.
Ms. Sun did not argue with her, but walked leisurely in front, allowing Sister-in-law Xu to walk more slowly while carrying things, so she would not be so tired.
"Old madam, my servant has something to say. I don't know if I should ask it or not?"
Sister-in-law Xu thought about it for a while, but she still spoke.
Ms. Sun was still immersed in the pain of bleeding while shopping for groceries. When she heard this, she said, "If you have anything to say, just say it. Our family doesn't have as many cumbersome rules as other families."
Sister-in-law Xu said yes, and then asked: "I wonder what the old lady thinks of the food cooked by the servant? Is it to your liking?"
Mrs. Sun replied: "Although it is compared to my home The cooking made by the eldest daughter-in-law lacked a bit of heat, but it was pretty good. What’s wrong?” hostThe kids were not used to it, so they asked. "
" He wiped it off and added: "My maid has been learning southern cuisine recently!" "
There was nervousness in these words, as if she was worried that the host would not like her cooking.
Mrs. Sun smiled and said: "It's okay, we are the farmers. , there are not so many rules, and you are not picky about food. As long as it is clean and nutritious, it can be done in the south or north! "
The Lu family has been in the north for more than half a year, and they are naturally adapting to the life in the north. Besides, they came here to escape from famine. They are so hungry that they can even chew the bark of trees. How can they dislike the food being unpalatable? ?
With her words, Sister-in-law Xu was completely relieved.
“Thank you, madam! "
Mrs. Sun said: "It's okay. There are few people in the house now, so you have to work more alone. When there are more people in the future, you will definitely have to buy a few more maids and women, so you can be more relaxed. . "
Sister-in-law Xu said hurriedly: "My servant is not tired! This is what a servant should do! ”
Mrs. Sun walked home without saying anything. Looking at the lively atmosphere in Fucheng, she felt better and hoped that the world would continue to be peaceful and prosperous.
When he arrived at Xishui Garden, Old Man Lu sat under the tree at the door to enjoy the cool air and chatted with the people passing by. When he saw Mrs. Sun coming back, he happily ran over to say a few words of concern, and then went back to sit down and continue chatting with people.
Ms. Sun ignored him and went straight into the house, and then went all the way to the kitchen. She was going to cook tonight.
When she got to the kitchen, she found someone there, and walked in. Look, it’s He Jiuniang.
The kitchen was filled with the faint smell of milk and tea. Mrs. Sun swallowed her saliva and moved closer to take a look.
“Third daughter-in-law, you What are you tinkering with again? ”
In the past, every time He Jiuniang tried to tinker with something new, she always disliked it, and ended up being slapped in the face every time. This time, she learned to be smarter and didn’t say much, just wait and eat.< br />
“Hey, caramel milk tea! It’ll be ready soon, I’ll give it to you to try later! "
He Jiuniang generously let her see it, and said: "I bought this milk at a big price! ”
