Chapter 834: Men and Women Must Be Separate
hen the noble guest has free time, please come again. I will certainly treat the noble guest well."Li Lao Si and Tao Hong Ying nodded, called Jia Yin down the stairs.Jia Yin nodded at the old shopkeep...Thus thinking, Jia Yin changed her clothes and was about to go to the back of the village.
Jiārén and Mùxǔ were talking in the courtyard. Seeing their younger sister come out from the back garden, they smiled and greeted her, "Sister, where are you going"
Mu Xu heard the sound and looked over, a hint of surprise flashing in his eyes.
The previously mischievous “little servant” has transformed into a beautiful maiden.
A short jacket of apricot-colored embroidered satin with flower patterns, paired with a silver-white pleated skirt adorned with branches of flowers, and a rose-colored cocoon silk face cloak lined with silver rat fur.
Her jet-black hair was simply tied up, with a cordyceps pearl hairpin inserted. Tiny earrings with pearls and cinnamon adorned her delicate earlobes, making her complexion even whiter. Her eyebrows were delicately drawn, and her eyes were beautiful.
As she walked, the five-colored Butterfly Palace sash and jade ring hanging from her waist swayed gently. Her fawn-skin boots peeked in and out from beneath her skirt...
Mu Xu slowly lowered his head, and suddenly two words popped into his mind.
In the prime of youth, endowed with grace and beauty...
"Brother, I'm going to go see Grandpa Zhang. It's so cold in the yard, why don't you guys come inside and talk" Jia Yin walked up and spoke to her brother.
Jiarren said, "I guessed you were going to Zhang Shenyi's place. I have nothing to do anyway, so I'll accompany you there."
"Hee hee, Big Brother is the best." Jiayin walked up and linked arms with her brother, then nodded to Mu Xu before walking out.
Suiyun, Shuijue and Zheng Sanjiang followed behind.
Mu Xu walked slowly at the end, waiting until they were out of sight before entering the neighboring Ye family's courtyard.
Yushan and Dongmei had tidied up a wing room. When Mu Xu came in, Yushan laughed and said, "Little Mu, you can stay here with peace of mind from now on. The Marquis will be back in another month."
Mu Xu bowed and thanked, "Thank you, Uncle Shan, Aunt Mei."
Then, he rolled up his left sleeve, revealing the plum blossom birthmark near his elbow, to prove his identity to the two of them.
Both Yejia Mountain and Dongmei smiled.
Yejishan patted him on the shoulder and said, "You don't have to do this, we know you are not an imposter."
"Your background, the Marquis told us in detail before, and even drew your portrait. We wouldn't mistake you."
"Otherwise, if I had met you at the shop before, I wouldn't have let you come back in the car. In the future, don't be so restrained, treat this place as your own home."
"When the lord returns, he will naturally arrange a job for you."
Winter Plum also smiled and said, "These past few years, you must have suffered a lot outside. Now that you're home, it's good."
"Just feel at ease here. Eat whatever you want, play whenever you like. And if you could look after the county princess for us on a daily basis, that would be even better."
"The masters of the Li family are all kind and benevolent, and the County Princess is an especially good person. After you get to know them better, you'll understand."
As she spoke, she shoved a new set of undergarments and outer robes onto Mu Xu. Then she said, “There's a hot spring in the right ear chamber. Go have a soak and get some sleep early.”
"When I have some free time these two days, I will make a few more sets of clothes and shoes for you!"
After Mu Xu thanked them again, Dong Mei took Ye Shan out.
Suddenly, the room fell silent. Mu Xu put down his robes, lay down on the kang and let out a long sigh of relief…
It's winter now, and the villagers have some unexpected free time. However, they can't just sit around idly, so clearing snow becomes the best way to spend their days.
It's not only not tiring, but the young and old gather together to work and laugh.
So, even though there has been a lot of wind and snow recently, the roads in the village are still completely free of snow.
As soon as a few people turned onto the back street, they bumped into the village head and Uncle Zhao taking a stroll. They couldn't help but chat for a while.
The village head, seeing no one around, whispered: "County Princess, I see that the Master has sent someone to Zhang Divine Physician's place again. Has there been any progress on that matter"
Jia Yin nodded lightly and said simply, "Yes, Village Chief. My uncles have been busy for a long time, but it's almost done."
"Don't worry, sir. Just protect the village and don't let any bad people take advantage of the situation. This matter will pass soon."
"Good, good, then we don't have to worry anymore!" The village head let out a sigh of relief. "In two months it will be the New Year. We don't ask for anything else, just that everyone is safe and sound, together in harmony."
After chatting about some village affairs, the siblings bid farewell to the village head and headed toward the back of the village.
As soon as I arrived at the door of Zhang Shenyi's courtyard, a scream came from inside.
Jiā Rén immediately covered his younger sister's ears, regretting it immensely in his heart.
If he had known the interrogation had started, he should have come alone.
What if I scare my sister!
Jia Yin was rather curious and eager to go in, but she was also a little afraid.
Then, she raised her legs and peered into the courtyard a few times.
Perhaps hearing the noise, Li Zhensheng quickly came out. Seeing his niece at the door, he glared fiercely at his nephew and muttered in a low voice: "What are you bringing your sister here for Girls are timid, what if she gets scared and can't sleep at night Look out, Grandma will scold you!"
Jia Ren chuckled bitterly, "Uncle, it was my oversight."
“I thought it hadn't started yet, and my younger sister was still thinking about that little girl who had been silenced with poison. So I came with her.”
Li Zhensheng waved his hand inside the courtyard. Zheng He, standing at the door, didn't know what he had said to the people inside. The house immediately fell silent. This was when Jiarren let go of his hands.
Jia Yin got her freedom and immediately asked, "Uncle, what did Zhang Grandpa say Is Zhang Grandpa sure he can cure the little girl's voice"
"Whatever herbs you need, I have them all here."
Li Zhensheng nodded and said, “Dr. Zhang said there's an 80% chance of success. He has already given the little girl a needle, and he will also make medicine to feed her in a while.”
"Whether a full recovery is truly possible, we'll have to wait a few days to know for sure. If you're not comfortable with that, you could leave someone behind to keep an eye on things and run errands back and forth for you. It would be easier to get medicine if they were there."
"Besides, there's no one here at Dr. Zhang's clinic to look after children, and tonight... things are a bit hectic as well."
Jia Yin looked at Shui Ling and Shui Yun. Shui Yun immediately stepped forward and said, "County Princess, let me take care of the little girl."
Jia Yin nodded, Shui Yun had a good temper and was patient, and she also cooked delicious meals, it would be just right to keep her.
Li Zhensheng immediately started driving people away, "Jiarren stay, Funiuer quickly go back and rest, remember to call Li Ge'er and Mao Ge'er."
He obviously wanted to take this opportunity to let the boys at home build up their courage and get involved, doing their part to protect the family.
It has to be said, Li Zhensheng completely inherited the old lady's double standards.
My niece is a treasure, the best there is. She shouldn't be touched by any darkness or filth in this world; she should only live in light and goodness.
But the son and nephew, they must be thrown into the darkness and dirt to roll around for a while, all in the name of training...
Jia Yin brought a heart full of the joy and warmth of being loved, and hurried home.
As I approached the gate, I happened to see Tao Hongying returning from Ercun.
She rushed over and hugged her mother's arm, smiling and saying, "Mom, do you know Being reborn into our family is such a lucky thing!"
Tao Hongying was caught off guard by her daughter's flattery, feeling a little dazed. She instinctively asked, "What's going on Did you get into trouble again"
"Mother, you underestimate your daughter too much! Waaa, I was just about to be touched, and you hit me like this It hurts my feelings!" Jia Yin refused to give up, hugging her mother and acting coquettishly.omen rushed forward, quickly picking up the potatoes and throwing them into a pile.A gentle breeze swept across the surface, quickly drying the damp soil on the potatoes. A simple tap revealed dry and...
