Chapter 141 The details
In the He family, it was Xiao He who opened the door for Jiang Mingyue.
"Sister-in-law, is Aunt He okay?"
"Thank you for your concern. My mother is recovering well."
"Miss Jiang is already here. What else do you bring? Come in quickly!"
As he spoke, he took the things from her hand affectionately, took the initiative to hold Jiang Mingyue's hand, and shouted while walking to the main hall: "Mom, Miss Jiang is here."
After Xiao He finished speaking, Jiang Mingyue saw He walking out with ointment on his face.
Seeing her, He was overjoyed.
"Why are you here on such a hot day? Come in quickly."
"Come see you!"
Jiang Mingyue followed the two of them into the main hall, took a closer look at the injuries on He's face and said, "The recovery is good, I see some scars have formed."
He touched his face gently.
"The main thing is that the ointment applied is good."
While the two were talking, Mrs. He poured tea for them, picked up her daughter and looked at them and said, "Mom, Miss Jiang, you talk, I'll prepare lunch."
"Go!"
Jiang Mingyue took the barley tea from Mr. He and reminded again: "Don't touch the wound with water in the past few days, and don't eat spicy food."
"I understand. Yesterday, Li Dong's family and Young Master's family came and told me the same thing."
Zhang Shanshan and Zhang Zijin came as expected.
"My boss gave me a box of ointment, saying it was developed by an imperial doctor. It specializes in treating trauma and is very effective. I applied it once last night and again this morning. The superficial wound has begun to heal."
"Hey! Is there such a good medicine? Then Auntie must insist on taking it."
Mr. He nodded and took a sip of tea: "I was shocked when I found out Shanshan's identity. I didn't expect that she was from the young master's family. I didn't know it before."
Jiang Mingyue echoed: "Yes! There is no airs at all, and what she wears on weekdays is very ordinary. If she didn't say it, we really wouldn't be able to tell."
After the two chatted for a while, He said, "I don't know how Lan Lan is doing now. I plan to go over and see her tomorrow."
"I just came from the Xu family. The shopkeeper was very frightened. He had a high fever and couldn't sleep well. He kept saying there was a snake in the house." Jiang Mingyue briefly told He about Han Lanlan's situation.
Hearing this, Mrs. He was filled with indignation and said: "Then Ms. Song really deserves to die. If Lanlan is frightened, I will have to shave her."
"Song family?" Jiang Mingyue asked with a hint of doubt in her eyes.
"Well, that woman, known as Mrs. Song, is from Songjia Village, five miles away in our county. She has been domineering and cunning since she was a child. After she got married, because of her husband's weak temperament, she became even more arrogant.
She disrespected her parents-in-law and bullied her sister-in-law and sisters-in-law. She had a very bad reputation in the village. When something happened to her this time, when her husband, son, and daughter-in-law found out, no one wanted to come and see her. I heard that the patriarch of Songjia Village even asked him to Her husband wrote a letter of divorce saying that she could not ruin the reputation of Songjiacun. "
He made a 'poof' sound.
"You deserve it!"
Jiang Mingyue didn't expect that Mr. He would know the details of Ms. Song so quickly and in such detail, so she inquired curiously.
"What's the verdict at the Yamen?"
Mr. He came to her side and said, "Our boss has informed the Yamen that Mr. Song will be imprisoned for five years. Why is it because our Jinxiu Fang has not suffered any damage? Otherwise, we will definitely be imprisoned for a longer period of time."
Jiang Mingyue nodded and saw that it was already noon. She immediately stood up and said, "Aunt He, have a good rest. It's getting late and I should go home."
"If you leave now, wouldn't it be a slap in my face? I'll stay and finish eating before leaving." He grabbed her.
Jiang Mingyue had no choice but to stay after the He family tried to persuade her to stay.
Lunch was cooked by Xiao He, and each person had a bowl of dumplings. Jiang Mingyue knew that according to the custom in Wanping, dumplings would only be made when there are distinguished guests at home.
Xiao He was very generous and filled a bowl for her. Jiang Mingyue couldn't finish it, so she gave half of it to He's grandson.
After lunch, Jiang Mingyue stayed at He's house for a while before leaving.
Xiao He accompanied her mother-in-law to send the person away and said, "Miss Jiang is so beautiful and has a good personality. You can tell by her face that she is a blessed person."
Mr. He agreed: "She is not a blessed person. Her fiancé is one of the most important people in the world. In the future, she may be the wife of an official."
…………
Jiang Mingyue was naturally unaware of the discussion between the two. On the way home, she saw an old woman selling pears walking past.
"Grandma, how do you sell these pears?"
"Two for a penny. My pears are so crisp and sweet that the custodian girl still wants to eat them."
"Then give me ten."
"okay!"
Jiang Mingyue paid the money, took the pears from the old woman's hand, and returned to Zaolin Hutong. Passing by Xie's house, she saw that the door was open. When she tilted her head and looked in, she met Xie Yuan's eyes.
"Back?" Xie Yuan asked as he came out of the study.
Jiang Mingyue said 'hmm', crossed the threshold, and closed the door.
"Is it edible?"
"I've already eaten. Where's Brother Xie?"
"I've eaten it too." Xie Yuan took the pear from the little woman's hand, cleaned one, peeled it and cut it into pieces, put it in a bowl and handed it to her.
"Shopkeeper Han, Mr. He and others, are they okay?"
Jiang Mingyue fed the man a piece of pear and briefly explained the situation of the two of them to Xie Yuan: "Looking at the situation of shopkeeper Han, he may have to rest for a long time. I don't know if the boss will send a new shopkeeper."
Xie Yuan held the little woman's hand, walked into the study and said, "No, the most likely possibility is that Zhang Shanshan will be in charge of Jinxiufang temporarily."
Jiang Mingyue ate another piece of pear.
"It's possible."
"Tomorrow Xiaohong and the others will take their monthly exam. The invigilator is Mrs. Yu. I happen to have some free time. How about we go on an outing?"
Jiang Mingyue's eyes instantly brightened when she heard this.
"Okay! Let's go there for an outing?"
"I know a place with great scenery and a river. Let's bring our fishing rods and we can still fish."
Jiang Mingyue agreed readily.
In the afternoon, Jiang Mingyue was reading with Xie Yuan when Shiliu knocked on the door and walked in.
"Girl, Miss Zhang is here."
Jiang Mingyue and Xie Yuan looked at each other: "I'll go back and take a look."
"it is good!"
Xie Yuan personally sent the little woman out before turning around.
When Jiang Mingyue returned home, she saw Zhang Shanshan smiling before saying anything.
"Why are you here free?"
"What happened in Jinxiufang, I didn't sleep well these two nights. Thinking that you would be as frightened as me when I think about it, I came to see you."
Jiang Mingyue took her hand and walked into the main hall and asked, "Did you have a nightmare?"
Zhang Shanshan said 'hmm'.
While the two were talking, Xu's boss Xu returned home and saw two eagles hanging on the door of his parents' door. He was stunned for a moment, then walked into the bedroom. He glanced at his mother and asked in a low voice: "Mom, can you reduce the fever?" Already?"
"No, but I feel much more peaceful in my sleep now. I just made a special trip to Luan's Medical Clinic. Doctor Luan said that your mother's fever will be gone tomorrow."
Boss Xu breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this and asked, "What's going on with the eagle outside?"
Xu Youcai took his son outside and explained to him.
