Quick Wear: BE cannon fodder does not follow the routine

Chapter 148 The Lady of the Constable's House (26)

It took Gu Yuxi four days of wandering before he returned to Guyu County. If he had the skills he had in his previous life, one day and one night would have been enough.

She was about to get off the donkey when she heard a shout from behind...

"Yuxi, you're back. The others who went to the Hairpin Festival came back a few days ago. If you don't come back, we will all go look for someone else."

"I'm sorry to have worried you, sister-in-law. I was playing around on the way and was delayed for some time."

"You feed yourself and the whole family is not hungry. Your sister-in-law is quite envious of you."

Thinking of something, Gu Yuxi got off the donkey and took out two boxes of medicine from a gray cloth bag.

"Sister-in-law, this is the ointment I asked someone to find. You can give it to Brother Tie Er. Apply it on the back of your hand before use to see if there are any other side effects."

"Thank you for remembering this after a long journey. Thank you for your hard work. How much is it?"

Knowing that the Tie family valued self-cultivation and reputation and never took other people's things for free, Gu Yuxi said casually: "Thirty cents, not expensive."

"Don't lie to my sister-in-law. If you suffer the consequences, it will be hard for us to reason with you later."

"Sister-in-law, it's really not expensive. I also need to make money to support my family!"

Sister Tie then took the plaster and said, "Sister-in-law, go home and get the money for the medicine. Wait for me."

"Don't worry, sister-in-law."

"Why aren't you in a hurry? Don't delay."

Gu Yuxi had just put Xiaodai in the pen, and when she came out, she heard Sister Tie calling her through the fence: "Yuxi, I won't come over, take this money."

"You're too polite, sister-in-law."

"Just count them. I won't admit it when we get back."

In front of Mrs. Tie, Gu Yuxi counted the copper coins and said with a smile, "That's enough."

"That's good. My family wants me to fetch water. Bye."

After Gu Yuxi went up to the second floor, he slipped into the space. He had to take a bath.

Her wet hair was draped over her shoulders. She heard some noise coming from the yard next door. Has the empty yard next door been sold?

When Gu Yuxi went to fetch water with a bucket, she met Xiao Zhuoxuan by the well. Her eyes were full of disbelief!

The person in front of me was wearing clothes with a "Bu" character on it. It took a year and a half for this guy to become a constable!

"Zhuo Xuan, why are you..."

"Yuxi, let's talk later. If you want to fetch water, just give it to me."

Mrs. Wang said sarcastically, "Hey! Yuxi, I heard that you went to Pingxiang County to sell flowers and made a lot of money. I thought you would not come back to a small place like ours."

"Grandma, you are joking. These are just small businesses. How can we make money?"

"No wonder you look down on my Erlang. It turns out you like this new guy."

Xiao Zhuoxuan said to the plump old woman, "Old lady, marriage is all based on love and the matchmaker's words. Why do you misinterpret Yuxi like this?"

"Oh, you're calling me so affectionately. We're from the same village, so please help me carry this water back!"

"Grandma, we still have so many empty buckets here. We really can't help you. I just saw your Erlang and a group of people catching crickets. Let him come."

"You have no right to speak here, you are just a wild girl who attracts men everywhere and has no manners."

call out!

"If your tongue itches, just pull it out. If you have no evidence, you will be punished."

"You..." Looking at Xiao Zhuoxuan's outfit, Matchmaker Wang dared not say anything but glared at Gu Yuxi before leaving, "Bah! Unlucky!"

"you!"

"Okay Zhuo Xuan, let the dog bark, ignore that mad dog."

Wow!

Matchmaker Wang just felt her foot twisted, and a bucket of water came into close contact with the earth along with her. The people who were taking care of the vegetable garden in the backyard laughed at her funny look.

"Smile, laugh, what's so funny!"

"Mrs. Wang, you better be careful with your words. It's hard to wash your dirty mouth with water!"

"You gossip, I'm not afraid of you."

The old women who were not on good terms with each other started arguing again. Gu Yuxi pretended not to notice Xiao Zhuoxuan's actions. The two of them remained quiet. Xiao Zhuoxuan followed Gu Yuxi, carrying four buckets of water.

"What brought you to this place?"

"Yuxi, I may have to live in this place from now on. I asked Yuan Xin for a job as a constable..."

Looking at Gu Yuxi, Xiao Zhuoxuan's face gradually turned red. He felt an itch beside his ear, and the woman's breath made his breathing quicken. He only heard the woman say, "Oh! You're not going back to Pi County?"

"Yuxi, I have no father or mother, and I'm used to traveling around the world. Now I want to have a home. Do you..." Do you welcome me?

"Just say it, I won't mind, don't hesitate."

"I'm nineteen, and you'll be coming of age in a few days, I..."

Gu Yuxi poked Xiao Zhuoxuan's dimple, and the man's face immediately turned red. Gu Yuxi played hard to get and said, "Zhuoxuan, you are not honest. Could it be that you have some thoughts about me that you shouldn't have? How did you find out about my coming-of-age day?"

"No, I like you and want to marry you and stay with you forever... No, you are independent and kind, I..."

Xiao Zhuoxuan was incoherent. Looking at the lovely girl who seemed to be smiling, he said firmly, "It's not easy for you as a woman. It's common for you to be insulted by a gossipy old woman like that. People are afraid of officials, and naturally they are also afraid of the police. Now I live next door to you, and I can protect you in the future."

"Oh, then Brother Zhuoxuan, in what capacity are you protecting me?"

Bang!

"I... I'm sorry, Yuxi. Actually, I'm not very good at talking... You must not listen to those words! Um... I'd better go and help you fetch water."

Xiao Zhuoxuan explained stutteringly while he hurriedly got up from the ground. He didn't even bother to shake off the dust on his body, picked up the bucket and ran out in a hurry.

However, due to being too nervous, he bumped into the door frame with a "bang" as soon as he ran to the door. This was a heavy blow, Xiao Zhuoxuan saw stars and almost fell to the ground again.

Gu Yuxi, who was standing by, saw this scene and finally couldn't help but burst out laughing.

Xiao Zhuoxuan rubbed his head awkwardly, and looked at Gu Yuxi with a helpless smile on his face.

He knew he had made a fool of himself, but there was nothing he could do. Who made him so nervous? However, seeing Gu Yuxi's smile, he felt a little relieved. At least she was not angry.

So, Xiao Zhuoxuan picked up the bucket again, walked out the door carefully, feeling sweet in his heart.

[Satisfaction: 65%]

"Then I can't help teasing him. If I touch him, he will be so embarrassed that he will die."

When Xiao Zhuoxuan filled the jar with water, Gu Yuxi said to him, "Zhuoxuan, can you help me cut the ribs? I'm not very strong."

Looking at the ribs on the chopping board, Xiao Zhuoxuan thought: "He will have to give Xi more supplements in the future. She can't even afford to buy meat."

"Okay, I'll do the chopping."

Gu Yuxi was originally making a fire on the side, and saw Xiao Zhuoxuan cutting vegetables skillfully. His knife skills were quite good.

"The smoke is disturbing, I hope you can stay away."

"can you cook?"

"Don't underestimate me. I've traveled all over the country with Uncle Sanhe and his friends. I'm usually their exclusive chef."

He even forced the imperial chef in the palace to teach him the craft, but how could he say this out loud!
