On the morning of the seventh day of the fifth month, Xu Youcai's father and son finally left, carrying a large urn of spiced haggis, and walked away, saying that the father and son really slept on the table in the haggis shop last night, and the thirty yuan given by Xu Jin naturally went into Xu Youcai's pocket.

After Xu Jin finished breakfast, he took his three brothers-in-law and the little slave to visit Xinjiang Academy, while Erniu stayed in the store to help.

"Xu's case is early!"

"Case Chief Xu!"

Xu Jin took the Xie brothers to stroll through Xinjiang Academy, and the classmates he met all stepped forward to greet him, their eyes still ambiguous.

Xie Sandao said admiringly: "Brother-in-law, it seems that you are very famous in the academy!" ”

The little slave said proudly: "Of course, Xu Jin is the head of the county test and the government test, and his talent and character are recognized, so he is naturally welcomed by his classmates!" ”

Xie Erjian touched his nose and said, "It's quite welcome to welcome, but ...... I always feel that the eyes of my brother-in-law's classmates are very ...... That's unbearable! After speaking, he glanced at Xu Jin, who had red lips and white teeth.

Xu Jin couldn't help but sweat for a while, he really wanted to give this guy an old punch, but he could only ask for his own hardship, yesterday he had seen Xie Erjian's ability to climb the eaves and climb onto the roof as soon as he jumped up.

At this moment, two classmates came up to them, it was Cai Yue and Li Yingjun, and the two walked up to them and hugged their fists and said, "Brother Xu!" ”

Xu Jin returned the salute with a fist and introduced the three brothers-in-law again.

Cai Yue suddenly said: "By the way, Brother Xu, I heard Han Shoucheng say that your family's haggis shop was suppressed by King Ning's son, and its business plummeted!" ”

Xu Jin nodded: "Business is a little lighter, but it can barely be maintained." ”

Li Yingjun sneered: "Hey, it seems that Brother Xu's first "Picking Wood Map" really stinged Ning Wang Shizi, but Brother Xu don't worry, Brother Yuan Hao and I will mobilize our classmates from the academy to help you in your store, so as to teach Ning Wang Shizi to understand the indomitable integrity of our scholars!" ”

"Brother Ziyu, don't use it, how can you let everyone break the bank!" Xu Jin smiled bitterly.

"Ziyu is right, Brother Xu should not shirk, the head of Xu's case is iron-clading, sarcastically admonishing King Ning in front of Qin Cha, righteous and heroic, and he is really a model for my generation.

Qin Cha is the eyes and ears of the Son of Heaven, if he can reach the ears of the Son of Heaven, arouse the attention of the Son of Heaven, and deprive King Ning of military power, then the people of Jiangxi are very fortunate, and I am very fortunate in the Ming Dynasty.

Now that Brother Xu has been suppressed by the prince of Ning Wang and suffered losses, how can we stand idly by. Let's just decide, Ziyu and I will go and launch our classmates! ”

After Cai Li and the two finished speaking, they left impassionedly, which made Xu Jin speechless, but Xie Sangun's face was proud, and the two brothers-in-law naturally felt that their faces were bright.

Xie Erjian heard that his father was going to marry his sister to a sick man, he strongly opposed it, but now it seems that his sister has married the right person, and he can see that his sister is indeed very happy.

Xu Jin thought that Cai Yuanhao and Li Yingjun were just talking, but he didn't expect that after the academy got out of school in the afternoon, Cai and Li really mobilized hundreds of scholars to help in the miscellaneous store, and the eyes of Aunt Qian in the mutton miscellaneous store opposite were so envious.

Looking at the bustling group of scholars in the store, Xu Jin had to admit that although Cai Yuanhao and Li Yingjun were average in learning, they were really good at mobilizing public opinion, and this kind of talent should enter the Propaganda Department.

The business in the store is so good, Xie Xiaowan is so busy kicking her feet, the three brothers-in-law are all out to help, Erniu is so happy that he can't keep his mouth shut, and he is busy cleaning up the table.

"Brother Xu, business is booming today!"

Fei Maoxian and Fei Maozhong walked to the front of the store, and the latter smiled and arched his hand.

Xu Jin greeted him and said with a wry smile: "The people are dedicated to the people, and you are also here to join in the fun." ”

"I heard that Yuan Hao and Ziyu mobilized their classmates to help in the store, so we naturally have to add some strength!" Fei Maozhong said with a smile: "Mrs. Xu, give us five portions of spicy haggis to take away, and we can't sit down in the store." ”

"Hey, good!" Xu Xiaowan quickly packed five portions of haggis and handed them to the little maid for tea.

Fei Maoxian paid the money and reminded with a light cough: "Brother Xu, what I told you yesterday ......"

Xu Jin suddenly woke up and promised Fei Maoxian to visit Fei Ruyi today, nodded and said, "Minxian, then I will go back to the house with you now." ”

Xu Jin and Xie Xiaowan said a word, and then left the haggis shop with the Fei brothers.

"Minxian, has Miss Ruyi's illness improved?" Xu Jin asked as he walked.

The Fei brothers' faces suddenly became gloomy, and Fei Maoxian shook his head and said, "I have a fever intermittently, and I still cough, and the doctor is helpless!" ”

Xu Jin couldn't help but frown when he heard this, could it be that Fei Ruyi also got water into his lungs?

In history, Emperor Zhengde fell into the river because of fishing, choked on water and finally contracted pneumonia and coughed up blood and died.

People who love beauty have it in their hearts, and if Fei Ruyi, a wise beauty, dies like this, it will inevitably make people shake their wrists and sigh.

Xu Jin followed the Fei brothers to the Fei Mansion, and Fei Maoxian really took him directly to Fei Ruyi's residence in the backyard.

Outside the door, I happened to meet a middle-aged beautiful woman who covered her nose and walked out, this person was Fei Ruyi's concubine Zhao, that is, Fei Dian's continuation, although her status was not as good as the original match, but she enjoyed all the rights of the main room.

Fei Maoxian bent down slightly and saluted, and shouted, "Uncle! ”

Zhao smiled and said, "Brother Xian'er came to see Ruyi, who is this?" ”

Zhao looked Xu Jin next to him up and down, and his thin eyebrows wrinkled slightly.

Xu Jin felt a little uncomfortable, but he still maintained a smile on his face, bent down slightly and bowed, and introduced himself: "Under Xu Jin"

Zhao said lightly: "You are Xu Jin, you look like a talent, Brother Xian, this is the boudoir of the inner courtyard, it is not suitable for you to bring Xu Gongzi in!" ”

Now the gossip about Xu Jin and Fei Ruyi is rumored outside, and the Zhao family has also heard about it, so naturally they don't want to see Xu Jin at this time, of course, if Xu Jin is from a prominent family and has a rich family, the Zhao family will definitely have another attitude.

It is said that the Zhao family is just the daughter of a small official in Leadshan County, if she hadn't married Fei Dian by filling the house, she would definitely not be able to climb the scholarly family like the Fei family, you must know that Fei Hong was still an official in the court.

A person's background often determines the vision, the Zhao family is small, and a little greedy, originally after Fei Dian's death, she had every right to remarry with a dowry, but she coveted the reputation and comfortable life of the Fei family, so she didn't do that.

Stepdaughter Fei Ruyi is good at learning, Zhao has already made up his mind, and after the expiration of the three-year filial piety period, he will find a "good" family for Fei Ruyi, this "good" is naturally not for Fei Ruyi, but for her stepmother, it doesn't matter what the man's family is, the most important thing is that the family is rich, so the dowry will be rich, and the Zhao family is counting on a rich dowry for the rest of his life.

Therefore, whether Xu Jin is a young man or not, whether he is married or not, it doesn't matter to the Zhao family, the important thing is that Xu Jin is a poor scholar, so when he saw Xu Jin coming to visit Fei Ruyi at this time, he was immediately unhappy.

I don't have money, and I still want to eat swan meat from a toad? What about being talented? Can it be eaten as a meal?

Fei Maoxian knew his aunt very well, and explained: "Uncle, the third sister has been having a fever and talking nonsense since she fell into the water, it may be that she has lost her soul, and the third sister was rescued by Brother Xu, let him visit the third sister, maybe it will help." ”

Fei Maoxian's reason is reasonable, it seems that he has already thought of a rhetoric, saying that Fei Maoxian may not be as good as his younger brother Fei Maozhong in terms of literary talent, but he is better than his younger brother in dealing with people and things.

Zhao couldn't help but hesitate, although Fei Ruyi was not her own, but she was still counting on Fei Ruyi to marry and make a lot of money, if Fei Ruyi died of illness, the dowry would be wasted, so she finally nodded: "Okay, but I can only greet you from afar, but I can't let people know about gossip like I was at the dock that day, you men don't care, our women's name is very important." ”

Xu Jin and Fei Maoxian both nodded slightly embarrassedly, and Zhao turned around and returned to the room, beckoning lukewarmly: "Come in!" ”

Xu Jin followed and walked in, and immediately smelled a strong smell of traditional Chinese medicine, and the windows of the room were all closed, coupled with the hot weather, it made people feel very depressed.

Zhao covered his nose and shouted inside: "Into the painting!" ”

Fei Ruyi's personal maid ring came out in response, the little girl Huan's face was haggard, her eyes were red, obviously she had just cried, and when she saw Xu Jin, she was immediately overjoyed: "Xu Gongzi, you are here, the girl still missed you just now!" ”

Xu Jin was slightly stunned, this is a bit informative!

"What is the dead girl talking nonsense!" Zhao scolded dissatisfiedly.

Into the painting lowered her head and muttered: "The girl mentioned Xu Gongzi just now, I didn't say nonsense!" ”

Zhao's face sank, and he said unhappily: "Is it okay to go to see the medicine, don't you have to be an eyesore here!"

Irito reluctantly left the room.

Zhao snorted coldly: "I'm really ignorant, Brother Xian, Gongzi Xu, you can only stay for a while, so as not to affect Ruyi's rest." ”

Xu Jin frowned imperceptibly, and followed Zhao into the inner room without a sound.

The inner room is where Fei Ruyi usually sleeps and rests, and it is very elegantly decorated, with a dresser and a bookcase placed by the window, and some books are neatly stacked on it.

The tent of the bed hung low, and a petite figure lying on its side was faintly visible, and the occasional cough was heard.

"Ruyi, Brother Xian has brought Xu Jin Gongzi to visit you!"

Zhao called twice but didn't respond, and was about to step forward to open the curtain, Xu Jin suddenly said: "Wait, Ruyi girl has phlegm in her cough, and she has a high fever, it may be pneumonia, pneumonia is contagious!" ”

Zhao Shi was startled when she heard this, although she didn't know what pneumonia was, she still understood the word "infection", and she didn't dare to approach.

Fei Maoxian was obviously also bluffed by Xu Jin, and said hurriedly: "Brother Xu still understands medical skills?" Is pneumonia serious? ”
