Chapter 39 Lost and found

Chen Xi breathed a long sigh of relief, and County Magistrate Han's judgment basically quoted what he said on the paper.

At this time, Hui Niang was still kneeling on the ground in the lobby, as if she fell into the clouds. She had no hope at all, but suddenly she turned around and she didn't even understand what was going on.

After Han County Magistrate Han left, the chief clerk Xia came to the hall and walked to Hui Niang and said, "Lu Sun, how lucky do you have to help you behind your back. The county magistrate won the case this time. After going back, he should take good care of the pharmacy shop. Don't treat Ling Yuan unfairly."

Hui Niang then believed that what she saw was true and she couldn't help but cry with joy.

Zhou stepped forward and helped her up. Hui Niang leaned against Zhou's arms and cried with joy. She was on the verge of despair these two days, and she had lost hope for the future. The loss made her feel that this was extremely precious.

"Sister, it's okay, let's go back and live a good life."

Zhou helped Hui Niang back to her home. The first thing Hui Niang did was to kowtow to the tablet without words that Zhou worshipped.

Chen Xi stood in the yard and watched, secretly happy for Hui Niang.

Zhou's face was full of smiles: "Who said the old man had forgotten us? I never thought that he still had friendship with the people in the yamen. If he hadn't helped, I'm afraid his sister wouldn't have a place to return now."

Hui Niang stood up with tears in her eyes, wiped away the tears from her cheeks, and bowed deeply to Zhou: "I still have to thank my sister for her family. If my sister hadn't moved here, the old man wouldn't have helped."

"Oh, what's my sister saying? How can this be called fate? Planting good causes and getting good results. If my sister hadn't taken in a silly baby to shelter from the rain on a rainy day, we wouldn't have had this opportunity."

"By the way, silly, what are you doing here? When has it been? Haven't you gone to school yet?"

Chen Xi touched his head, as if he had only remembered that there was still a study at this time, and he stuck out his tongue: "Oh, I'll go now." After that, he went into the house and carried his schoolbag and left.

"This little brat knows how to be lazy all day long, but he is quite smart. The day before yesterday, he got the first place to take the school exam. After he came back, his butt was raised up."

Zhou seemed to be swearing, but in fact he was happy.

Hui Niang kept the pharmacy, which meant that her family could continue to live in this small courtyard. After this incident, the relationship between the two families became more and more intimate.

Hui Niang looked at Chen Xi’s back as she went out and said enviously: “It’s still a blessing for my sister. Xiao Lang will definitely have a future in the future, and his sister’s life will be weak.”

Chen Xi has been very tired for the affairs of Hui Niang and her daughter these two days, but he can help the person he likes to escape the disaster safely, and he feels extremely happy and satisfied.

The fabricated old man came in handy at the critical moment, and Chen Xi thought to himself that he was lucky. However, he hoped that I would not ask too much. If I lie too much, I would be exposed sooner or later.

When Chen Xi came back from school in the afternoon, Hui Niang had already found a carpenter to learn from Zhou's nameless birth throne, saying that she wanted to offer her a promise. When she knelt down, she was extremely pious. This clearly regarded the old Taoist priest who made something out of nothing in Chen Xi as a great benefactor.

Chen Xi thought to himself that it was too much for me to give in to me and kowtow to me every day. Now even Hui Niang is following the same thing, but he can't afford to be it.

However, this matter could not be exposed, and Chen Xi couldn't help but be very upset.

A few days later, when Chen Xi went to the medicine shop to help, he could always see Hui Niang talking to herself to her husband's tablet and the unlicensed position.

A woman has no husband and no one expresses her feelings, so she can only regard dead things as a sustenance. Chen Xi thought about it and felt more and more pitiful to Hui Niang.

Although the lawsuit was completed and Hui Niang finally won the case, the people of Ninghua did not buy it. The business of the pharmacy shop plummeted, and even some people in the neighborhoods said Sun Huiniang's strange words, all of whom she thought she drove her husband away to monopolize the property left by her husband. Hui Niang was already very proud of her face. When she heard all kinds of uninspiring comments, she simply went out less or didn't go out. Every day, the shop closed before the sun even set.

It was the end of July, and it was the autumn harvest season. Zhou wanted to go back to Taohua Village to help, and Chenxi's school was on a rare holiday.

Originally, Zhou wanted to take Chen Xi and Lin Dai with her back, but she was afraid that Chen Xi would be detained by her family when she returned. She should not cry every day, which would delay her son's life. So Zhou gritted her teeth and simply started to go, and even Lin Dai stayed.

Due to the autumn harvest, Shen Mingjun, who had already left early and returned late, was even busier and rarely came back at night. He left two young people at home and could only have dinner at Hui Niang for the time being.

Hui Niang was very enthusiastic. After the previous case, the two families were almost as close as Yi'er. And even if the business was a little bad, she and Lu Xier would not go hungry even if they didn't open for three to five years.

Without my father and mother, Chen Xi had more time to spare on weekdays. In addition to following Zhou's instructions when he left, he would trick his calligraphy and paintings, and even moved all rice paper, pen and ink and old tools to his home.

As long as Wang Lingzhi doesn't study, he will come to help. No matter what Chenxi needs, Wang Lingzhi can always find him.

During this period, several plays written by Chen Xi and the Yang family generals were famous in Ninghua County and even the entire Tingzhou Prefecture. After collecting autumn grain, the people had free money and had time to go, and began to think about Fang'er's happiness.

Under such circumstances, the southern opera troupes are starting almost every day in and outside the city. Although most of them are straw troupes, the scripts are all copied from others and there are many missing places, but there are a lot of people who support them whenever they are randomly played, and the people's enthusiasm for a few new operas has increased unprecedentedly.

In addition to the Southern Drama, all teahouses were almost crowded with people who listened to books.

The Yang family general's book changed from the twenty chapters written by Chen Xi at the beginning to forty chapters. As storytellers kept putting together and adding fuel to the fire, the story gradually became fuller. However, different storytellers had different versions, and ordinary people didn't know which one was authentic. Anyway, they could hear where they sounded lively.

Just when Ninghua County was thriving, the bad news suddenly came, which made the people in the city lose their interest in walking around the streets. A plague broke out in Chaoshan, Guangdong. Now it has spread to Zhangzhou Prefecture in Fujian. It is said that epidemics have occurred in Yongding and Shanghang in Tingzhou Prefecture.

Before August 15th, Shen Mingjun was going to take Chenxi back to his hometown for the Mid-Autumn Festival, but Zhou had already returned from the countryside. It turned out that plague broke out in the Lingnan area in Taohua Village. After collecting the food, Zhou quickly returned to the city, fearing that the plague would spread and then he would not be able to enter the city.

When the news spread, the city was no longer allowed to enter the city by merchants from the south. After a few days, the city gates were closed and only opened for half an hour in the morning and evening. After that, the government even explicitly prohibited the people from going out casually, and even sent three yamen runners to set up checkpoints at traffic jams and water and land piers.

But even so, the plague inevitably spread to Ninghua County.

There are people in the city every day that have a plague. The infection is infectious of villages or even towns. Although there are many rumors in this, it really scares everyone.

Due to the plague, the school simply did not open classes after the autumn harvest. There were few shops in the city that opened, and tailor shops were no exception. Zhou was temporarily unemployed.

On the contrary, there were many customers in the pharmacy shop that originally had a light business.

County towns are richer than rural areas. When the plague breaks out, everyone is in danger. The first thing that people with a little wealth think of is that the price of medicinal materials will increase. Under the idea of ​​buying medicines to prevent hunger and disease, they will stock up on whatever they lack. Time for medicinal materials has become a shortage.

The medicinal shop run by Hui Niang is not very big, but when Lu Shao fought around, he had stocked up a lot of medicinal materials. Chen Xi had seen it and there were at least three houses in the backyard filled with various medicinal materials.

At this critical moment, Hui Niang did not take the opportunity to raise the price. She sold the medicinal materials at the beginning with a small amount of profit.

But even so, the people in the city still don’t like to go to Huiniang’s medicine shop to buy medicine, which makes Chen Xi and Huiniang helpless.
