Chapter 137 The Lady of the Constable's House (15)
Gu Yuxi waved her hands in front of Xiao Zhuoxuan. Is this man confused?
"Eat quickly, don't you like it?"
"No, thank you Miss Gu."
After eating and drinking, Xiao Zhuoxuan looked at Gu Yuxi making the plaster and said, "Miss Gu, let me do it!"
"I plan to apologize to the blacksmith next door. I don't want the relationship between the neighbors to become too strained."
"But didn't you give them five taels of silver?"
"After all, I kicked him out. I'm afraid something will happen to him. If that happens, I won't be able to clear myself even if I jump into the Yellow River. I..."
Gu Yuxi did not dare to underestimate the effect of the powerful pill. Fortunately, she restrained most of her strength before kicking the ball, otherwise the sick man would not have a chance to speak.
"Don't be afraid, we have your back."
"But aren't you leaving Guyu County soon? No one else can protect a weak woman like me, so that little blacksmith is very important."
Xiao Zhuoxuan slowed down his pounding of the medicine residue and asked subconsciously, "Is he that important?"
"what?"
"It's okay, Miss Gu. I'm leaving tomorrow. I'm here to say goodbye to you today. If you have any difficulties, you can go to the county government to find Captain Yuan."
"You're leaving? When can you come back?"
"do not know……"
"You must come back. We are friends now. I will protect you when the time comes."
Xiao Zhuoxuan was dazed by those sparkling eyes for a long time, lowered his head, and finally said: "Thank you very much, Miss Gu."
"You're welcome!"
Looking at the pretty figure standing by the door, Xiao Zhuoxuan turned around before leaving. The figure had already left, so he quickened his pace.
After watching Xiao Zhuoxuan leave, Gu Yuxi devoted herself to the business of making medicine. She made the medicine by means of a series of cheating methods. She knocked on the door next door hesitantly.
"Who!"
"Sister Tie, it's me."
"Why are you here again?"
Mrs. Tie said she disliked it, but she still opened the door and welcomed Gu Yuxi in. Gu Yuxi explained, "I know a quack doctor who has a good ointment that can be used on Mr. Tie."
"It is the charlatans' fake plasters that are the most harmful."
"Mother, what is a dog-skin plaster?"
The chubby son stuck his head out, but was scolded by his wife the next second: "Go find your father, don't run around at night."
“Sister-in-law, I’ve given you this medicine. Please try it on Mr. Tie.”
"Eh……"
Watching Gu Yuxi leave, Sister Tie could only take the ointment to Tie Erlang's room. This brother-in-law's illness really dragged down the whole family.
"Sister-in-law, I'm causing trouble for you again."
Sister Tie put the ointment aside casually and said, "The girl who kicked you said that this ointment can cure diseases. Erlang, don't listen to that nonsense. There are too many charlatans."
"Sister-in-law, maybe she is not lying."
"You have a pure mind, but those scammers don't."
"It won't hurt to give it a try."
Mrs. Tie reluctantly handed over the ointment. Tiejilang took the ointment and applied it on the densely packed pimples, feeling a refreshing feeling.
"How is it? Does it hurt?"
"Uncle, are you feeling uncomfortable?"
"No, it's cool."
Looking at the plaster, a faint fragrance came to her, and Sister Tie muttered: "Could it be that I misunderstood that girl?"
"Sister-in-law, not all people are bad."
"Those neighbors are eager for us to move out sooner. There are too many people who take advantage of others' misfortunes, but too few who help us in times of need. Your classmates... I'm sorry, sister-in-law didn't mean it."
Tiejilang shook his head and said helplessly: "It's nothing. It's my fault that I'm useless and made my brother, sister-in-law and I suffer."
"Don't say those discouraging words. You are a student after all. If it weren't for this disease, you would have passed the examination and become a scholar three years ago."
Tiejilang was dejected: "I'm already twenty years old, that scholar was just a joke, sister-in-law, how about I move somewhere else?"
Tie Dalang stopped him and said, "Don't say that. We are a family. Erlang, you are making your brother feel disappointed."
"Feel sorry."
"Don't be discouraged. If you are sick, we can go to the doctor. There is nothing in this world that cannot be overcome."
Lanchunju in Guyu County!
Xie Lize was peeling an orange and listening to Ye Qi's report. He couldn't help but frowned: "Hasn't that person been found yet?"
"Master, that man seems to have disappeared from Pingxiang County. There is some news from the restaurant. They said that he had met Zhang Jin'er, the daughter of Mr. Zhang from Pingxiang County."
"The Zhang family that performs big plays?"
"It's the Zhang family."
Xie Lize stopped peeling oranges and began to think: That man is very capable. If I could use him for my own benefit...
"master?"
"Why are you getting so close?!"
"No, Master, you got some tea on your clothes."
Xie Lize just looked at the half-cold pot of tea that he accidentally spilled all over himself, and he didn't even notice it.
"I know. Why are you shouting so loudly?"
Those secret guards avoided the sight, and did not look or listen to anything inappropriate!
"What about Gu Sanhe?"
"I know I found the wrong person. Now he is kneeling outside."
"Well, let him in."
After Gu Sanhe entered the room, he knelt in front of Xie Lize and kowtowed repeatedly, muttering to himself, "I was reckless and offended Your Highness. Please forgive me, Your Highness."
"Sir, you really bumped into me, and it made it so that I couldn't run fast."
The man kneeling on the ground was sweating all over and begged, "Please forgive the others, Your Majesty. This matter has nothing to do with them."
Xie Lize walked over, helped the man up, and said in a gentle tone: "Mr. Gu, why do you have to do this? I am also wrong in this matter. You are not in the same group as those people."
"But……"
"I know you are capable, sir. I admire your name very much. As the saying goes, there is no acquaintance without fighting. It is my honor to know you. Why should I let those misunderstandings affect our friendship?"
Gu Sanhe was extremely ashamed. He felt like a despicable and shameless villain. It was so embarrassing.
"Your Majesty, as long as you need me, I will go through fire and water without hesitation."
"Sir, you are too kind. I am not that kind of person. It's fine once the misunderstanding is resolved. Everyone will be fine. If you keep it in mind, then it's my fault."
"Mr. Gu said that the prince treats people with kindness and justice. I didn't believe it at first. It seems that I was blinded by my own ignorance and my ears were not true."
Xie Lize touched his neck and said awkwardly: "This king's reputation among the people is not very good."
"People laugh at me for being too crazy, I laugh at others for not seeing through me. I am just following the crowd, so don't take it to heart, Your Majesty."
"Sir, I admire your talent..."
"I accept the prince's lobbying, but I need three months. There are still some things I need to resolve."
"Sir, do you agree?"
"I am willing to follow you till death. This is my fortune."
Xie Lize bowed and said, "Sir, you are too polite. I have no talent or virtue. I am lucky that you do not despise me."
