After March, it is the beginning of summer. Mother Zhang leads everyone to boil soapberry leaves in the morning to welcome the summer. The boiled soapberry leaves are pinned on the lapels of girls and women.
The men were not so lucky - they lined up in front of the old house and were beaten by Mother Zhang with soapberry leaves in her hand.
From Zhao Xianjin's point of view, the muscular men's group headed by Zhou Ergou is quite good. They have a very superior head-to-shoulder ratio, dark faces are straight and rough, and they stand by the well in coarse cloth jackets. Under the jackets are thick chests and strong shoulders. Several men hunched their shoulders, waiting for Mother Zhang to use soap leaves to tap their towering biceps.
From then on, the rough man Wen had a face.
Xianjin leaned against the vermilion lacquered pillar, watching the Magic Jing County with a smile, but when he turned his head, he saw two lines of bright red blood under Suoer's nose...
Xianjin:...
Have some ambition, girl. This is just the beginning!
......
The handover of Jing County was completed in mid-April, and the letter from Xuancheng arrived in late April. Madam Qu's handwritten letter asked Xianjin to return to Xuancheng and take his luggage with him to work with the second master Chen Cai and the fifth master to complete the final handover of Jing County.
The letter mentioned Li Sanshun, Manager Dong, and Mother Zhang, as well as the mule cart that came to pick them up, the driver of which was from Chuzhou, and the fact that Xiduo preferred the Huaiyang flavor when preparing the meal.
The only person not mentioned was Chen Fu.
It seemed that no matter where Chen Fu was, it had nothing to do with her. As a mother, she was really cruel.
The useful eldest son and the obedient second son are all sons, while the rebellious third son is dispensable.
Unlike the store being under Chen Cai's name, this incident was quite a blow to Chen Fu. He didn't leave his room for several days, and even his daily food and drink were delivered by Zhang's mother.
Facts have proved that psychology affects physiology and emotions affect organic constitution.
On the eve of his departure, Chen Fu lived up to everyone's expectations and became lame. His leg disease relapsed and was in more pain than the first time. He cried and talked nonsense every time he moved. "It must be that my mother heard that I was going back to Jing County, so she asked a wizard from Miaojiang to cast a spell on me! I can neither live nor die!"
Xianjin looked at his toes that were swollen like carrots very calmly and shook his head firmly, "Impossible."
Chen Fu fell silent, sobbing and asking, "Why?"
"It's also quite expensive to put a curse on someone." Xian Jin said sincerely, "The old lady may not be willing to spend that money."
After Chen Fu was stunned for a moment, he raised his head and screamed, "Go away! Get out of my powder blue satin cover!"
The trip was imminent. Even though Xuancheng was not far away, only a four-hour drive, they had to move out after all. Dragging Chen Fu, who screamed at the slightest movement, out was really too much of a challenge.
Xianjin specially invited Doctor Wang to see him. Doctor Wang glanced at him and smiled, "No prescription, it's still the same way, drink more water, be like a cow or a sheep, and it will get better naturally."
Being a cow or sheep means you can only eat grass...
Xianjin glanced at the pitiful Chen Fu, and smiled at Doctor Wang, "...I stopped eating meat, eggs, and milk yesterday. But we have to go back to Xuancheng soon, and there are so many things to do. It's really a torture for the Third Master to sit on a mule cart for four or five hours."
Doctor Wang was stunned for a moment, "You are going back to Xuancheng? Is it because Qiao Fang was imprisoned?"
Xianjin hurriedly shook his head, "It has nothing to do with the headmaster. The shop is short of staff, and it's just a routine turnover."
Doctor Wang Zhengfang nodded with a look of relief and sighed, "The situation is not peaceful right now. The Japanese pirates in Fujian have not been pacified, and the Tatars in the northern border are taking advantage of the chaos to approach the nine borders. The court is in chaos, and officials are promoted and demoted. The officials in Beijing are in a panic, let alone the local officials. In this world, if you can avoid action, it's best to stay where you are."
In particular, don't go north.
Xianjin was a little surprised. It would probably be difficult for Chen Jianfang to know this news!
Doctor Wang was always patient with Xianjin. He smiled and raised his goatee, "You have been in the palace before, so you should be careful when dealing with people."
Xianjin took note of it.
Chen Fu hummed repeatedly.
Doctor Wang turned his head and showed an extremely impatient and frustrated face, "What are you humming! Wait for me to give you a silver needle and stop the pain first!"
Chen Fu had heard of a Sichuan opera called face changing. Today he was very lucky to finally see it performed in person.
Xianjin had also seen a Chinese doctor and knew that a truly good Chinese doctor was not one of those quack sorcerers. A truly good doctor could relieve the symptoms by 70% or 80% with a few needles. Chen Fu cried with joy as he held his foot, which had been much less painful. After a while, he remembered and looked up and asked angrily, "Last time I had foot pain, why didn't you give me acupuncture to relieve it?"
He was in pain for seven or eight days, and it was so painful that he thought there were several sharp thorns in his feet!
Doctor Wang was twisting the needle and rubbing the acupoints as if it was a matter of course. "Last time was last time. Isn't Xianjin in a hurry to get on the road this time?"
Chen Fu: ???
He wanted a woodchuck to scream.
But he didn't dare, because there was a very long needle stuck in his foot.
Xianjin sent Doctor Wang out. Doctor Wang looked up at the sky and said, "If you are in trouble in Xuancheng, please write to me. If I cannot come, I will definitely send my disciples."
Over the years, Doctor Wang has always treated her very well.
Xianjin nodded gratefully, "Yes, during the festive season, Xianjin will definitely remember to write you a letter to say hello."
Doctor Wang stroked his beard and waved his hand, "No need, no need, don't write to me if you have good news, because there is no good news in the letter..." Doctor Wang walked towards Shuidong, "Are you all right?"
If you are well, you will be doing justice to that old friend who is 2.3% similar to you!
Xianjin stood in the porch and watched Doctor Wang walk away.
On the third day after acupuncture, although Chen Fu was still limping, the pain was much relieved. Seeing that the weather was good, Xianjin finally drove a mule cart out. Xuancheng sent a total of four mule carts, and Xianjin bought another one in Jingxian with his own money before he could pack all his belongings.
