Xiaolan's cover-up made Shen Wen suspicious.

After taking her down, Fang'er, the person who cared for her the most, had to put on a straight face and asked her if she was hiding something.

This interrogation lasted nearly three quarters of an hour, mainly because Xiaolan was young, and because she was frightened, she lay in Fang'er's arms and cried endlessly.

After coaxing Xiaolan, Fang'er came to Shen Wen's heart and reported the details of the incident.

This morning at midnight, after the corner gate opened, Xiao Lan went outside the east gate with a bamboo basket to buy fish.The old fish seller asked her a few words when he saw that she was embarrassed.

After Xiaolan told the old man about Donghua's condition, the other party was an experienced person, and immediately determined that Donghua had suffered from heatstroke.For this reason, he told Xiaolan a recipe: cut the top of the bitter gourd, remove the flesh, and put it in tea leaves.Then hang the processed bitter gourd in a ventilated place until it dries in the shade, remove it, wash it, chop it together with the tea leaves, and mix it evenly.Take a pinch each time and soak in boiling water.Just like drinking tea, you won’t feel uncomfortable after drinking it a few times.

What he said was tedious and repetitive, coupled with the fact that occasionally someone would come to buy fish, so that it took him an extra cup of tea before he could hear the recipe clearly.

Although troublesome, Xiaolan is still very grateful to the old man for his kindness.

The problem is that when picking fish, the business has been negotiated, but suddenly a man appeared out of nowhere, with a big arm and a round waist, and his actions were very rude.

The man claimed to be the old man's son, and while packing up the things on the stall, he yelled at the onlookers, saying that the business was closed, and the big guys dispersed.

Although Xiaolan was dissatisfied, seeing the tall and strong man, she still gave in. Based on the principle that more things are worse than less things, she quietly retreated from the crowd of onlookers and went to find fresh fish elsewhere.

This is where the strange thing happened. I don't know what happened today. Almost all the fresh fish stalls in the city are closed.Half an hour passed, and Xiaolan still got nothing.

In order not to go back empty-handed, Xiaolan had no choice but to bite the bullet and run to various markets.At this time, she didn't know whether she should be thankful that Xizhou City is not big, or worry that Xizhou City is too small, so that she searched everywhere to no avail.

The only gain is that in the process of looking for fish, she learned the reason why the fish mongers don't do business.

It turned out that the Hu Mansion in the city held a big birthday banquet, and Hu Yiguang, a rich and wealthy businessman, bought all the fresh fish in the city.

Xiaolan doesn't know if there is any explanation in this, she only knows that the people in Hu's residence are too domineering!

How can you finish eating so many fish?

She thought to herself, and walked outside the door of Hu's mansion without knowing it.

In the entire Xizhou City, if there is one place where there are fish, it is only here.She squatted not far away, watching the endless traffic and horses at the gate of the Hu Mansion. After hesitating for a while, she still carried the basket and planned to try her luck at the back door.

With such a big battle in the Hu Mansion, there are naturally people coming and going at the back door.Those who deliver goods, those who unload goods, those who take inventory, and those who lean against the courtyard wall and gossiping.Apart from the people, the most eye-catching thing is the fresh fish in various containers.

Xiaolan was very envious. To her, who was charged with "buying fish", it was like stepping into a fairyland.

In the moment, abrupt or not.She plucked up the courage to talk to someone, and wanted to ask if there were so many fish, could she sell one?

Maybe it was because she was an eyesore, she was pushed back and forth, but no one paid any attention to her.

After wandering around for a few times, not only did I not get any fish, but even the clothes were treated as rags, with several black handprints on them.She couldn't hold back the grievance in her heart anymore, and couldn't help sobbing.

The old lady of the Hu Mansion is celebrating her birthday, and she is crying here, which is really a sight to behold.Immediately, a woman led her aside, patted the dust off her body, told her not to block others from doing things here, and go home quickly!

Xiaolan said that if she wanted to buy fish, one would be enough.

She is so pitiful, if it is normal, this woman will definitely show kindness and sell it to her.But the current situation is different. Before the fish is slaughtered, not a single fish can move.

Xiaolan was naturally curious and asked her why.

The woman wiped away the tears on her face, looked around again, saw that no one was paying attention, and then explained to her in a low voice like telling a story.

It is said that last night, on the eve of Mrs. Hu's 70th birthday, she had a strange dream.

There is a fairy in the dream, because of her good deeds all the year round, he wants to give her a elixir, which can prolong her life.

Mrs. Hu was naturally grateful, and after thanking the immortal, she reached out to take the elixir.As a result, at this time, a fish jumped out of the Luoshui next to it, opened its mouth and inhaled, and sucked the elixir into its stomach.Mrs. Hu was angry and hated, so excited, people naturally woke up.

She immediately sent someone to call Hu Yiguang over and told him about the strange dream.

Hu Yiguang is a businessman, and he has a little bit of research on Feng Shui metaphysics.He thought that the elixir must still be in the fish's belly.So taking advantage of the early time, he hurriedly bought all the fresh fish in Xizhou City into the mansion.

It happened to be a hundred fish banquet, and the tables of the flowing water banquet were spread out in the alleyway, and everyone who saw it had a share.

The mother-in-law asked Xiaolan, is slaughtered fresh fish okay?Just pack it up and take it back, which is convenient for cooking.

Qingdiao'er has a bad taste and always only eats live fish.If you put a dead fish in front of it, don't say it won't even look at it, and may even get angry.

Although Xiaolan is young, she also knows that there are some things that are not good to say in front of outsiders.

He could only shake his head, his attitude was very firm.

That being the case, there is nothing the mother-in-law can do.After thinking about it, she still brought a slaughtered fish to Xiaolan.She told Xiaolan to leave quickly, if she meets someone in charge, she will be in trouble!

Under her persuasion, Xiao Lan had no choice but to leave the Hu Mansion.

When she was holding the fish and was hesitating whether to go back to the Shen Mansion, she ran into an old man selling fish near the east gate.The old man was sweating profusely, obviously tired from running around.

When he saw Xiaolan, he couldn't help but heaved a sigh of relief.Hastily pulled Xiaolan aside, opened the pannier, and let her take a look inside.

The old man felt pity for Xiaolan, and felt sorry for the truth, so he hurried out of the city to catch another one.

It was also lucky that he just threw the hook, and a fat fish took the bait.The old man hurried back with the fish and waited near the east gate, just thinking if he could run into someone again.

It is often said that Qing Diao'er is a dead man, so Xiaolan and this old man are not.

Fortunately, the clouds opened to see the moon, and Xiaolan finally bought fresh fish.She couldn't help but thanked the old man, and rushed to Shen's residence excitedly.

This rush happened to bump into Madam Jiang who was going out.

Mammy Jiang's son has a quick temper and has been struggling since he was a child.Mother Jiang couldn't hold him back either, she could only watch him push Xiaolan to the ground.

The basket containing the fish was also kicked hard, but luckily the fish inside was still alive.

Xiaolan originally wore a piece of jade Guanyin around her neck, which was an amulet given to her by her mother.During the tugging, Mammy Jiang's son found out and forcibly dragged her away on the grounds of compensation.

Xiaolan was shocked and frightened in her heart, and at the same time, she also felt unspeakable grievances.

She returned to Xiahong Courtyard, and after feeding the green eagle, she went back to her room and changed her clothes silently.

There was only one Donghua in the room lying down due to illness, Xiaolan was afraid that it would affect her recuperation, so she had to hold back and dare not tell this matter.

It happened that Shen Wenxin came back, so she went to the front room to answer.Unexpectedly, her cover-up made Shen Wen suspicious.
