Chapter 354: Uninvited (Asking for Votes)
The prescription prescribed by Li Shizhen really worked, Xu Jin drank a few doses, and after resting for another day, the symptoms were reduced a lot, but he still had a little cough and runny nose. Despite this, Xu Jin still didn't dare to take it lightly, he stayed in the house every day, drank plenty of boiled water, and took a leisurely walk in the courtyard after dinner, occasionally discussing Chinese herbal medicine with the future medicine saint. For example, can you increase your ten-year strength by eating thousand-year-old ginseng and thousand-year-old He Shou Wu, etc., as a result, I was despised by Xiao Lizi to the point of incompleteness!
In the past few days when Xu Jin was recuperating at home, Xiao Huai and Huang Jin were not idle, especially the eunuch Huang Jin, who sent Jinyi Wei Ti to ride a flying horse yesterday to report that the granary of Yuncheng County was seriously in deficit, and he had already ordered the officials of Yuncheng County to be served in one pot, and they were very happy to copy the house, so that Xiao Huai could hurry up to the aftermath.
Xiao Huai was worried that Huang Jin would make trouble, so after receiving the report yesterday, he immediately rushed to Yuncheng County with 200 Jinyi guards, while Huang Gonggong, who was addicted to copying his house, had already left Yuncheng and went straight to neighboring Caozhou to continue his great cause of investigating the granary and fighting corruption.
Therefore, only Xu Jin is left alone in Fan County. Because the county magistrate and county magistrate of Fan County were arrested, and the lord Bo Zou Qian also took his post, it was not good for the huge county government to be taken care of, and there were tens of thousands of refugees to manage, so before Xiao Huai left, he ordered Zhang Wensheng, the governor of Yanzhou, to temporarily act as the county affairs, and Song Chi, the governor of Yanzhou, was "taken" by him.
Early this morning, Xu Jin felt much better, his snot was no longer runny, but he still had a little cough, and after eating the light millet porridge, he stood in the courtyard to practice spitting.
"My lord, who taught you this tuna technique?" Li Shizhen waited for Xu Jin to finish a round of practice and asked curiously.
Xu Jin smiled: "Brother Neiko taught me, what's wrong?" ”
Li Shizhen asked, "Then did he teach you how to practice qi?" ”
Xu Jin shook his head and said, "That's not true, it's just how to adjust your breathing, knock your teeth, and swallow it!" ”
Li Shizhen said suddenly: "It's no wonder, there is no way to practice qi, you can only maintain health and fitness by practicing like this, and you can't become a master of the inner family." ”
Xu Jin suddenly became interested and asked, "My second brother-in-law can indeed jump close to a foot high and walk on the roof like walking on the ground, is this considered a master of the house?" ”
Li Shizhen nodded and said: "Naturally forget it, how can ordinary people jump so high, unless they are really talented." It seems that the adult's wife and brother still kept a hand and did not teach you the method of doing qi. However, this kind of internal kung fu is generally not passed on, and it would be good if he could teach you to stand on the stump and vomit. ”
Xu Jin couldn't help but suddenly, no wonder he didn't feel anything special after practicing for a few years, he just thought it was because he was too old, of course, Xu Jin was not a person with a small belly, and his brother-in-law didn't teach him the method of doing qi, so it was estimated that the family rules could not be passed on.
In addition, Xu Jin is not keen on martial arts, a little practice is okay as a health preservation, if he really wants him to be like a few brothers-in-law, "practice Sanjiu in winter, practice Sanfu in summer", he really can't do it, and there is no need for this, just ask a gun in hand, how high your martial arts are?
As a superior, the key is that the brain is effective, and the matter of fighting and killing is still handed over to the people below, Mao Taizu has never touched a gun in his life, and he has not established New China.
At this time, Li Shizhen made a few actions to imitate animals, and said: "This is the five-bird opera taught by my father, which can also prolong life, and the effect is estimated to be better than your standing pile, do you want to learn it?" ”
Xu Jin watched Xiao Lizi imitate the monkey on the tree and the bear walking, and couldn't help but sweat, thinking that it was better to forget it, if he did this action at home in the future, it was estimated that he would be regarded as a monster by the people in the family.
Xu Jin and Li Shizhen were chatting in the courtyard, and Erniu came back from outside, followed by a large group of people, it was Zou Zhubo's old wife Fan and six idiots. In addition, there were two other people who surprised Xu Jin, and they turned out to be Zhao Quan and the mixed-race girl Xue Bingxin.
A few days ago, Xu Jin asked Jin Baihu to take fifty taels of silver and send it to Fan, and help take care of Zou Zhubo's funeral, Fan said that he wanted to thank Xu Jin in person. Today, Xu Jin's cold is almost better, so he simply asked Erniu to take Fan's family and the six idiots over to sit and play.
For Zou Qian, a clean official who would rather suffer and suffer poverty than be greedy, Xu Jin admired from the bottom of his heart and was willing to help as much as he could.
Fan is about forty years old, with a jingchai cloth skirt, dressed very plainly, but the clothes are very clean, the hair is tied up with a white cloth, and the skin is yellow and blue, as thin as Zou Zhubo. She held a vegetable basket, her expression was quiet and kind, and six young people with unsound IQs at first glance crowded behind her like a group of small chickens, looking at Xu Jin with curious eyes.
Fan Shi saluted Xu Jinfu: "Folk woman Zou Fan, please say hello to Lord Qincha." ”
Fan's attitude is neither humble nor arrogant, and judging from his words and deeds, he is obviously well-educated.
"Mrs. Zou doesn't have to be polite!" Xu Jin smiled.
"Thanks to Lord Xu's help these days, but I have no long things, and I can't repay them, these fresh mushrooms are picked by a few idiots who are not in the family, and I give them to Lord Xu to taste, I hope Lord Xu will not dislike them!" After Fan finished speaking, he handed the vegetable basket he was carrying to Xu Jin.
Xu Jin was still wondering what the mushrooms were, but when he took a look, it turned out to be a basket of mushrooms, and said with a smile: "Mrs. Zou has a heart, thank you, young men, these mushrooms were picked by you?" You're really capable! ”
When the six idiots heard this, they immediately smiled, and they all hugged Xu Jin, pointing to the mushrooms in the basket and saying, "Brother Qincha, this biggest mushroom is picked by the third child, and the second largest is ......picked by me."
Xu Jin smiled, patiently listened to the six idiots, and from time to time gave a thumbs up to praise a few words, which made the six idiots dance happily. Because except for their parents and Sister Xue, almost no one usually chats with them so patiently.
Fan was worried that Xu Jin would get bored, but he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when he saw this, and stood next to him and looked at it with a smile, and unconsciously his eyes were slightly red.
Fan and Zou Zhubo are cousins, the two have been childhood sweethearts since childhood, and they became husband and wife when they grew up, although the married life is poor, but it is also sweet and happy, but unfortunately the two sons born by the husband and wife are idiots, and it is useless to seek medical treatment in many ways.
Despite this, after all, it was the flesh and blood that fell from his body, Zou Zhubo and his wife still loved the two idiot sons, and later adopted four abandoned children who were also mentally incomplete, and the life of the family was even more difficult.
Originally, as Zou Zhubo, as long as he was willing to make some oil and water in the public house, his family life would not be so difficult, but he was a proud person in his bones, insisting on not being greedy for ink, although he was poor, he was a spiritual nobleman.
Fan has never complained about her husband, but is proud of his honesty and persistence, but when she learns that her husband proved his innocence by caesarean section in front of refugees, she would rather not have that pride in his bones, at least then he will not make the crazy act of caesarean section.
Zhao Quan watched Xu Jin squatting on the ground, seriously discussing some mentally retarded and ridiculous issues with the six idiots, his mood was complicated and weird, such a guy deserves to be his rival?
However, Xue Bingxin next to her looked at the six idiots with flying eyebrows with a gentle expression, and when her eyes occasionally swept over Xu Jin, her eyes were complicated and dazed, and suddenly, she burst out laughing.
It turned out that Xu Jingang told a story of "beating beans" to six idiots, saying that a man went to the woods to pick mushrooms and met a rabbit, so he asked the rabbit what he usually does.
The rabbit replied: eat grass, sleep, and beat beanie.
The man met the second rabbit and asked the same question.
The second rabbit replied: eat grass, sleep, and beat beanie.
When the third rabbit was encountered, the rabbit replied, "Eat grass and sleep."
So the man asked curiously: Why don't you beat Doudou.
As a result, the third rabbit replied: ", I am Doudou."
Such a simple and childlike joke, the six idiots understood it, and laughed one by one, and the mixed-race girl couldn't help but laugh out loud, instantly like a spring breeze thawing.
Xu Jin subconsciously glanced up, this frost-like girl laughed really pleasing to the eye. When Xue Bingxin saw Xu Jin looking, she immediately restrained her smile and resumed her cold expression, but she was obviously a little embarrassed.
Zhao Quan frowned imperceptibly, and took the opportunity to clench his fists and smile: "I didn't expect Brother Xu to be so witty!" ”
Xu Jin stood up and smiled and bowed back: "I have neglected Brother Zhao and Mrs. Zhao, I don't know what advice the two of you have when they come to the door?" ”
Zhao Quan said with a smile: "Senior Sister Xue and Zou Da know each other, just now I happened to meet Brother Erniu on the street with them to this side, and after asking, it turned out to be a visit to Brother Xu's house, so I made a temporary decision to follow Brother Xu to visit Brother Xu." ”
Zhao Quan didn't lie, Xue Bingxin did know six idiots, since Zou Zhu Bo had a caesarean section, Xue Bingxin would bring some food to visit Fan's family in the past few days.
However, even if he didn't meet Fan and others today, Zhao Quan was ready to come to the door to "visit" Xu Jin, firstly to test the truth and reality, and secondly, to see if there was a chance to kill Xu Jin, the future "rival", and he still listened to the warning of his uncle Li Zixin.
