Quick Wear: BE cannon fodder does not follow the routine

Chapter 141 The Lady of the Constable's House (19)

"Sister-in-law, you... I can't argue with you!"

"Hahaha, then sister-in-law won't bother you anymore. I'll ask my blacksmith to help you."

"No need, sister-in-law, I'm alone..."

"That `s a deal!"

Sister Tie quickly pulled Tie Dalang over from his nap under the shade of a tree in the yard.

"Sister, if you want to do this kind of work, we are here to help."

"Brother Tie, no need to trouble you."

"In the same village, a distant relative is not as good as a close neighbor, and there is strength in numbers."

With the help of Tie Dalang and his wife, Gu Yuxi finished the circle that had taken her half a month to finish. She said to Tie Dalang and his wife, "Thank you very much for your help today, Brother Tie and Sister-in-law. You don't have to cook tonight. I'll treat you."

"Don't try to be so rude when it comes to lending a hand."

Looking at the sun that was about to set, Gu Yuxi said, "Yes, yes, I'll go out and buy some food right away, or I'll be angry."

When Gu Yuxi came back from her trip, smoke was already rising from the Tie family's kitchen, so she had to deliver the food there herself.

She served herself a portion of the braised pork and potatoes, wrote down the prescription, and went next door.

"Mom, Aunt Yuxi is here."

"Girl, why are you here?"

Seeing the Tie family members each having a bowl of pumpkin soup, Gu Yuxi placed the bowl on their dining table and said, "Sister-in-law, I promised to treat you to a meal, but you made it yourselves."

"It's not easy for you to be alone, you can take this dish back."

"How is that possible? I'm here to deliver a prescription to Brother Tie Er. Boil three bowls of water into two bowls of water. Drink half a bowl in the morning and evening. One set can last for about two days. After three sets, I'll deliver a new ointment to Brother Tie Er."

"sorry to trouble you."

"No trouble, sister-in-law, I still have a fire at home, so I'll go back first."

"Well, why don't you just have a meal."

"no need."

Sister Tie took the prescription and handed it to Tie Dalang, saying, "This is the prescription that Yuxi gave to Erlang. Go to the pharmacy and get the medicine back tomorrow."

"I see, ma'am. This girl is really polite."

Mrs. Tie said, "She is well-educated and well-mannered, unlike those shrews who curse on the street. I wonder if she is marryable."

"Mom, Aunt Yuxi's cooking is delicious."

"Eat, eat, eat. You're in for a treat today. Mom will buy you some meat in a few days."

"Mom is the best."

Tie Erlang looked at the braised pork in the bowl and took a bite. The delicious taste lingered in his mouth. Tie Dalang said, "Matchmaker Wang wants to come to propose marriage to her youngest son, but sister Yuxi may not like Wang Jieba."

"Wang Jieba has nothing to say about his stuttering. I don't know whose family got the benefit. Yuxi has his own ideas, so we can help to keep an eye on them."

"That's what the lady said."

"Erlang, when you recover from your illness, you can take part in the provincial examination next year. Here is the money for your copying."

"Brother, you guys take the expenses home."

"Brother is useless and can't help you much. Today your teacher said it's a pity for your talent. You should cheer up."

"I won't let my brother and sister-in-law down."

Tiejilang wanted to take part in the provincial examination in March. If he passed the examination, his family would have less taxes...

"It's getting late. I'll give this bowl to Xi tomorrow."

The next day, Gu Yuxi was taking Xiaodai to Pingxiang County. When he opened the door, he saw Tiejilang squatting by the door with a bowl in his hand.

"Brother Tie, why are you here?"

"Yuxi, I'm here to return the bowl."

"Give it to me. Do you want to come in and sit down?"

"No need for that. You're a woman, and if someone sees you, it will tarnish your reputation."

"You scholars are so particular that even entering a door requires a lot of principles."

Gu Yuxi came in with a bowl. Tiejilang lowered his head, looked at Xiaodai, touched the donkey's head, and murmured, "Is she angry?"

"If you don't come in, I'm going to leave."

"Yuxi, are you going to release Xiaodai?"

Gu Yuxi turned over lightly and got on the donkey's back, saying, "I'm bored lately, I plan to go for a walk outside, and please help me look after my house."

"You're leaving! Leaving Guyu County? It's not safe for you as a woman."

"That's right, I'm just going to Pingxiang County to hang out. There's a hairpin festival there, and I'm going to join in the fun. Besides, it's not like I haven't been there before, so I know how to protect myself. Goodbye, Brother Tie."

Before leaving, Gu Yuxi said, "Brother Tie, don't worry about your ointment not being ready in time. When you have almost finished drinking the ointment, I should be back."

"Yuxi, then you..."

"You have recovered a little from your illness. You will be able to recover more than half in a month. The rest will be repaired. There is nothing serious wrong with your face."

Tiejilang saw Gu Yuxi riding Xiaodai and quickly disappeared in front of him. He returned home, looking at the paper and pen in front of him, and he was determined to take the exam in a few months...

"Li Niang, we have finally arrived at Pingxiang County. This place is prosperous. The imperial capital is just a few dozen miles away. It is much better than our small fishing village."

"If that person is not him, can you go home safely this time?"

"Don't worry, if Zhuo Xuan dares to lie, I will be the first one to deal with him."

Xiao Zhuoxuan led the carriage, trying hard to reduce his presence. His mother was not a confused person, but she just didn't dare to face the mistakes she had made over the past ten years.

No one knew where Gu Sanhe had gone. After secretly sending them to Pingxiang County, he disappeared without a trace. Perhaps they would not meet again for a long time.

"Let's find an inn and take a rest!"

"drive!"

The carriage that Xiao Zhuoxuan and his party were riding in slowly drove into the city. With the creaking sound of the wheels rolling, they arrived in front of a busy inn.

Xiao Zhuoxuan decided to stay here for one night. He was very tired last night after all, he moved so many things. Fortunately, he had mechanical skills, otherwise it would be difficult for him to operate.

As night fell, the entire Pingxiang County was shrouded in darkness. In this quiet night, a mysterious figure quietly appeared.

He was dressed in a black nightgown, and his footsteps were light and agile, moving through the streets like a ghost. The figure finally stopped in front of a secluded courtyard, and then jumped in without hesitation.

The courtyard was filled with a tense and solemn atmosphere. When that figure entered, the people who had been hiding in the dark appeared one after another.

They were all wearing masks so their real faces couldn't be seen, but it was clear that they were full of awe for the newcomers.

"Your subordinate greets His Excellency, the Pavilion Master!" everyone shouted in unison.

The mysterious figure called "Pavilion Master" nodded slightly, his eyes revealing a kind of majesty and confidence. He was so powerful that no one present dared to neglect him.

The man wearing the ghost mask asked, "Have you found out everything?"

"Master, this son-in-law of the Ye family in Pingxiang County is indeed surnamed Xiao. Here is his portrait."

The man took the portrait, and the subordinates felt the air around them getting colder and colder. They saw their master quickly walk out and leave the yard...
