MTL - Unparalleled Concubine-Chapter 11 Retaliation is expected
Chapter 11 Retaliation is expected
After inviting the doctor back, the doctor simply prescribed a prescription, and then left Li Xin after receiving hundreds of medical fees from Li Xin.
In fact, the charcoal seller's injury is not serious, just some skin trauma. This kind of skin trauma doesn't need medicine, but the old man's wooden house was burned by others, and he couldn't get through it, so the doctor gave him a prescription God's prescription.
The next morning, in the backyard of the inn, Li Xin was thinking about what happened yesterday while making medicine.
First of all, one thing that is certain is that the people in the Hou Mansion did not intend to kill themselves. If they wanted to die by themselves, it couldn't be easier.
Looking at the words of the big man today, it is estimated that they simply wanted to get out of the capital.
Li Xin closed his eyes, thinking a lot in his heart.
To be honest, he is not a very bad-tempered person. If the person from the Pingnanhou Mansion approached him and told him in a good voice, give him another sum of money or something, maybe he would take the money. Pidianpidian has left the capital. After all, in this era, no matter which city you go to, you can live the same life. If you leave the capital, you might be able to live a more nourishing life.
However, that Pingnan Marquis Mansion... chose to be tough.
Li Xin opened his eyes and muttered to himself while adding firewood under the medicine jar.
"You guys have gone too far..."
It is understandable for Li Xin to cut off the business of the Confucius Building, but it would be too much to set fire to the wooden house. This wooden house was not owned by Li Xin. The old man ended up this way just because he took in Li Xin.
Something has to be done.
But the most important thing now is to find a house to live in, otherwise living in the inn every day will not be a problem after all. house gone.
Jiankang City is the capital of Dajin. The land price in the city is not cheap, so the houses are naturally very expensive to sell. When the house price rises, renting a house will not be cheap.
With the help of Yaxing, Li Xin managed to find a small yard in Datongfang in the south of the capital. He said it was a yard. In fact, there were only three houses. A place without air leakage can be regarded as a place to spend the winter.
The rent is two dollars a month.
To be honest, Datong Square is located in the southern city of Jiankang, and it is also one of the few squares farthest from the imperial city, and it is not close to the Qinhuai River. It is regarded as the "suburb" of the capital. The landlord actually bullied Li Xin with his foreign accent and gave him a favor. higher.
But now Li Xin urgently needed a place to live, and he didn't care about the money, so he simply agreed. After paying the rent for two months, Li Xin moved in with his old husband and little girl.
Although this small yard is not very big, it still has an advantage, that is, the previous tenant has just moved out, and everything in the yard is still ready, so Li Xin doesn’t need to buy too many things.
However, the iron pots and wooden basins in the kitchen have been taken away. Ironware in this era is still very expensive. Even if the pot leaks, the common people will make up for it and will not think about changing it. When a new one is moving, it will carry the iron pan on its back.
After settling down the two grandparents, Li Xin first bought some food and came back, then squatted down, patted the little **** the shoulder, and said softly: "You take care of grandpa here, my brother went out to buy some things and come back, let's You just came here, don't go out."
The little girl was also a little timid at this time, and she nodded obediently when she heard the words.
"Brother, be careful too."
Li Xin smiled and nodded, and walked out of the courtyard. Before leaving, he hesitated for a while, but locked the courtyard door.
He wasn't sure if the people in the Marquis of Pingnan found him entering the capital, but as long as the door was locked, even if the Marquis of Pingnan found it, most of them would think there was no one in the house.
Besides, even if the people of Pingnanhou Mansion discovered this place, they would not dare to burn their houses in the capital.
Li Xin walked all the way from Datongfang to Beicheng. Because the imperial city is facing south, the further north it is, the more prosperous it is. When it comes to Victory Street, it is already a bustling scene of people coming and going. Li Xin First, I went to the blacksmith shop to buy an iron pot, then I bought some things like firewood, rice, oil, salt, etc., and then I went to the cotton cloth store to buy two quilts. Then, carrying a large cloth bag, I started to walk south of the city.
This cloth bag together weighs dozens of pounds, and it is very difficult to carry on the back.
It was already afternoon, and the people on the street were quite sparse. There were only some children after school, playing and fighting on the street. A group of little dolls were singing nursery rhymes in groups.
"Laba porridge, drink it for a few days, lili la la twenty-three."
…
"Twenty-nine, steamed steamed buns, boiled for one night at 30, and walked all over the street on the first and second day of the new year..."
It is already the twelfth lunar month, and the New Year is approaching. What children look forward to most in a year is to eat meat and fish during the New Year, so they naturally begin to sing nursery rhymes about the Chinese New Year.
This kind of song, Li Xin also sang it when he was a child. At first he didn't care, but after listening, he suddenly stopped and set his eyes on these children.
The wooden house he lived in was burned, and the person who started the attack was the Jingzhao Mansion in the capital. This matter was originally unreasonable, because the highest yamen he could contact, that is, the Jingzhao Mansion, it was impossible for him to be one. Common people, go and sue the officials with the people, this is undoubtedly an act of death.
Now, he seems to see some hope of revenge on the Pingnanhou Mansion.
But now is definitely not the time. After all, the little girl is still waiting at home. Li Xin tightly wrapped the cloth on his back and continued to walk towards the south of the city.
The old man kindly rescued Li Xin, and then took him in, but in the end he made himself homeless. In any case, Li Xin must settle the two grandparents, at least let them live better than before. better.
As evening approached, Li Xin finally returned to the small yard. He first went to the kitchen, put the iron pot he had bought with "a huge amount of money" on the stove, and then waved to the little girl. He smiled and said, "Girl, come and make a fire, my brother will make you something delicious."
The little girl nodded happily, and quickly started to make a fire on the stove.
She would have helped her grandfather to burn charcoal, and making a fire was the best skill. After a while, a vigorous flame was born under the stove. The little girl looked up at Li Xin and found that Li Xin had poured half of it into the pot in one breath. bowl of oil.
The charcoal girl widened her eyes.
She had a very bad life before. It would be nice to have something to eat, usually sorghum noodles or some rough rice. Usually, there is hardly any oil and water. Now this big brother has poured so much oil into it in one go. …
In this world, there is no such thing as stir-frying vegetables. Generally, it is "cooking vegetables" and then dripping a few drops of oil into it.
So, when the charcoal girl ate her first stir-fried vegetable, her tears were about to flow out.
The little girl filled a bowl of rice, filled it with vegetables, and excitedly brought it to her grandfather.
"Grandpa, it's time to eat..."
Two shifts will start tomorrow!
