Xiao Yichen smiled and said, "You haven't heard of it, which only means that you are lonely and ignorant. You have come to the right place for a walk this time."
Bai Mo twitched his lips, "Yi Chen, I haven't seen you for a few years, and you have become more venomous. Your ability to ridicule people has improved." Bai Mo slammed the table and shouted to the waiter, "Waiter, bring two jars of wine!"
Xiao Yichen pointed at Xiao Xiang and Xiao Mo and said, "I'm taking care of the kids, I can't drink."
Bai Mo rolled his eyes at Xiao Yichen and said, "Don't come on, I don't know how much you can drink, and a jar of wine won't make you drunk. Haven't you heard the saying, when you meet an old friend in a foreign land, you should get drunk together."
Xiao Yichen twitched his lips, "I've only heard that there are four great joys in life: rain after a long drought, meeting an old friend in a foreign land, the wedding night, and being named on the imperial examination. But I didn't know that we have to get drunk before we stop?"
Bai Mo rolled his eyes at Xiao Yichen and said, "You are weak and ignorant!"
Xiao Yichen twitched the corner of his mouth. Xiao Mo and Xiao Xiang held their cheeks with their hands, looked at Bai Mo and then at Xiao Yichen. The two of them were bickering with each other, which was quite interesting and even better than the plays in the theater.
The waiter brought two jars of wine and two plates of snacks. Bai Mo poured the wine and said, "This Beiling tavern knows how to do business. When you buy wine, they also give you snacks."
Xiao Yichen smiled and said, "It's been a while since we last met. How about you treat me to a meal?"
Bai Mo spat out a mouthful of wine and cursed Xiao Yichen for scheming.
A quarter of an hour later, Xiao Mo turned his head to Xiao Xiang and said, "Dad and this Uncle Bai seem to be drunk?"
Xiao Xiang whispered, "Let's go, since they're going to stay to discuss who's going to pay, let's go play around nearby."
Xiao Mo nodded, took Xiao Xiang's hand and tiptoed downstairs.
Bai Mo pushed Xiao Yichen's arm and said, "Hey, your two little bastards ran away, aren't you going to chase them?"
Xiao Yichen leaned against the window, and there was no sign of drunkenness in his eyes. He waved his hand and said, "It's okay. These two kids won't be bullied. They are considered little tyrants here."
Bai Mo laughed, and suddenly slapped his head and said, "I almost forgot that Chi Feng asked me to give you a letter. Now that you have met me, you can open it and take a look."
You know, he carried the letter with him for five years, wandering around but couldn't find Xiao Yichen. He wanted to open the letter several times, but he was a principled man and couldn't read other people's letters casually, so... he had to endure it even if he was itching. Now he can finally know the content of the letter.
Xiao Yichen took the wrinkled letter handed over by Bai Mo and opened it, saying, "It smells like sweat. I wonder why you kicked it in your arms for no reason. It's not real gold or silver."
Bai Mo coughed and said, "Don't talk nonsense. I take a shower every day. I'm not a warrior, so where does the sweat odor come from?"
Xiao Yichen smiled and unfolded the letter paper and said, "Yichen, although I don't know if you can read this letter, I still wrote it. Now that Bai Mo is gone, the capital is much quieter now. I have been helping you manage the store you left in the capital. Just let me know if you need money. Xiao Yimo gave me a beauty named Xiangyun. She is very good and sensible. I will treat you to a wedding banquet when you come back."
Xiao Yichen smiled and said, "Chi Feng is actually no longer single. Have you ever seen the girl named Xiangyun?"
Bai Mo nodded, took a sip of wine and said, "Chi Feng, you love her very much. Now among the three of us, I am the only one who is alone and has no worries. I think it's good to be alone."
Xiao Yichen snickered, "Just comfort yourself like this!"
"Mrs. Xiao is in trouble!"
Ji Lingxue stretched lazily. She felt refreshed because she hadn't been disturbed by the two children during her nap. She opened the door and walked out. The fat lady from the neighboring house in the yard put her hands on her hips and gasped for breath. "No... No, Madam Xiao..."
Ji Lingxue patted the other person's shoulder and said, "Please speak slowly..."
The fat lady said, "Your two children are fighting with Mr. Qian's grandson in the street. You should go over and take a look. Mr. Qian's wife is a retired maid from the palace. She served the empress dowager and has a strong background."
Ji Lingxue frowned: "My husband went out with the child..." She turned around, picked up the feather duster and rushed out. Xiao Yichen, where did you go instead of watching the child
When Ji Lingxue rushed to the street, the intersection was already crowded with people. Pushing through the crowd, she could see Xiao Xiang and Xiao Mo standing in front of a young woman. Behind the young woman stood a crying little boy in luxurious clothes.
The young woman pointed at Xiao Mo and Xiao Xiang and cursed, "You two wild kids actually hurt our young master. The elders and villagers all saw it. Our young master's hands are swollen. Just wait, our master and mistress will not let you go."
Xiao Mo and Xiao Xiang looked innocent. Xiao Xiang said, "Auntie, I've told you many times that we didn't hurt him. It was that poisonous spider over there. We saved him. He's just scared now."
Xiao Mo said, "My sister even applied medicine to his wound, but you wiped it off without knowing what was good for you. His hand is now swollen like this, but you turned around and accused us of wounding someone. Are all you adults so unreasonable?"
Everyone looked in the direction Xiao Xiang's hand was pointing, and saw a green spider lying on a pillar not far away. The strange color was frightening.
Qian's nanny: "Who knows what kind of medicine you put on our young master's wound? Maybe you want to murder our young master?"
The crying little boy sniffed and said, "Nanny, that spider is theirs. They used it to scare me on purpose. Please help me teach them a lesson."
The Qian family's wet nurse seemed to have received an order and waved her hand and said, "What are you all standing there for? Catch these two little bastards and bring them back to the mansion." The two servants behind the Qian family's wet nurse rolled up their arms and walked towards Xiao Mo and Xiao Xiang.
Ji Lingxue originally wanted to stand in the crowd and watch the excitement, and by the way, see how the two children would deal with the current situation. Unexpectedly, Xiao Mo was sharp-eyed and spotted her. He jumped towards her, hugged her arms on both sides, and started crying loudly, completely unlike the strong look he had just shown when facing the enemy.
Xiao Xiang: "Mother, you are finally here. If you don't come, you won't be able to see your lovely Xiangxiang anymore."
Xiao Mo: "Mother, you have to make the decision for us. They want to take me and my sister with them."
Qian's nurse looked at Ji Lingxue and said, "You are the mother of these two children. You came just in time. What should we do if your children hurt our young master like this?"
Ji Lingxue nodded. She had just heard the general idea. She said to the nurse, "Now is not the time to talk about other things. This young master has been poisoned by a spider. If the wound is not treated in time, I am afraid..."
Before Ji Lingxue finished speaking, she saw the young master of the Qian family holding the nurse's sleeve with one hand and covering his chest with the other, "Nanny, I... I feel so uncomfortable..." His lips had turned black and purple, and the nurse, who was originally shouting, looked ashen, "Young Master... Young Master, are you okay?"
The young master of the Qian family was on the verge of collapse, and was held in the arms of his nurse in panic. He looked around at the crowd and said anxiously, "Doctor, doctor... Is there any doctor who can come and save the young master? As long as you are the young master, our Qian will be grateful to you."
The Qian family's wet nurse begged for a long time, and the crowd was talking, but no one came out. Wherever she looked, many people shrank their necks.
Xiao Mo and Xiao Xiang looked at the begging wet nurse with sympathy and shook their heads. "Idiot, your young master was killed because of your ignorance."
Ji Lingxue asked: "Do you mind if I take a look at his injuries?"
Qian's nanny grabbed Ji Lingxue's corner and questioned: "You... you are not a doctor..."
Ji Lingxue curled her lips and sneered, "I do know a little about poison, you should think it through, if I don't look after your young master, his poison will invade his lungs, and even gods will be hard to save him. Everyone present here should testify for me, it's not that I don't want to save her, but she doesn't want me to save her.
The wet nurse gritted her teeth, naturally unwilling to bear the crime of murdering the young master. She thought that since the family was rich, she couldn't do anything wrong in public.
After Ji Lingxue felt the pulse of the young master of the Qian family, she stuffed a detoxification pill into his mouth, then tied a handkerchief an inch above his wound and watched the poisonous blood slowly seep out of his wound.
Xiao Mo and Xiao Xiang stood obediently behind Ji Lingxue, watching her save people, their eyes full of admiration and pride for Ji Lingxue.
Qian's nurse looked at the black blood flowing out with distress, "How is it?"
Ji Lingxue said: "The person has been rescued. Fortunately, the poison did not spread. If you hadn't wiped off the medicine on my daughter, she would have been fine by now."
The Qian family's nurse lowered her head. She was just too worried that her young master would be bullied and poisoned outside. She didn't expect...
As soon as Qian Ren left, the crowd that had gathered to watch the excitement dispersed. Xiao Mo and Xiao Xiang pulled Ji Lingxue's sleeves to complain.
Xiao Mo: "Mother, Dad left us to go drink with old friends."
Xiao Xiang said: "Mother, Daddy hasn't come back yet. He must be drunk. I'll take you to see him."
Ji Lingxue nodded, followed the two children and walked forward, not forgetting to ask: "Who is the old friend, a man or a woman?"
Xiao Xiang said: "It was a middle-aged man in white clothes. He seemed to be very familiar with Daddy and he even knew about the poison in my body."
Ji Lingxue was stunned, thought for a while and said, "Is it Bai Mo?" Few people in this world know about the poison in Xiao Xiang's body.
Ji Lingxue rushed to the restaurant, and Xiao Yichen and Bai Mozheng came out with their shoulders linked. After seeing Ji Lingxue holding a feather duster, Xiao Yichen's smile disappeared, and he smiled and said, "Madam, why are you here?"
Ji Lingxue said: "I'm here to settle the score with you. Do you know that our two children were bullied just now? Do you know that I lost a detoxification pill in order to settle the matter? These detoxification pills are priceless." She has used up a lot of high-quality herbs, and now she only has two left in her hand.
Xiao Yichen took Ji Lingxue's arm, took the feather duster from her hand, and said with a smile: "Madam, calm down. This will not happen again. Let's go home and talk about it. Bai Mo also came to participate in this herb festival. We happened to meet on the street and drank two glasses of wine."
Ji Lingxue sighed, turned her head to look at Bai Mo and said, "Bai Mo, long time no see."
Bai Mo greeted: "Mrs. Xiao is still as elegant as ever."
